The \\ abash Plain D< 'nle-r And Courier have l>ee» con solid a tod into one paper, to take tho name of the Plain Dealer. Lee Linn, pro. prietor of the Courier, has purchased a paper at Dennison, Texas, and will remove to fliat city. Lieutenant Gov. Robertson Ins just begun suit in the Marion superior court against Green Smith and liis bondsmen John J. Cooper and Joseph F, Flack, for £.3000, to cover damages and costs incured in fighting Smith’s injunction, of last winter. There is n mighty wail going up from travelling theater companies all over the country because of those provisions in the new InterState Commerce law which prevent any special rates being given on the railroads. It is claimed that many of the companies will be obliged to disband, as their receipts will not enable them to pay full railroad fare, in ilieir journeyings from place to place. So long as Carter Harrison and his pestiferous crowd were able to letain power iii Chicago, the democratic press of the whole country, and especially the debauched and degraded branch of it to be found in Indiana, were ready to hind them to the,skies and endorse their j whole pernicious course, but now . j that an outraged and long sobering people have at last repudiated the miserable gang and buried them under a mountain of popular condemnation, too deep for any hope of resurrection, “There are none so poor to do them reverence.” Chas. Nordhoff, of New York, an eminent writer in certain lines, proposed, ten or 15 years ago, in an elaborate article in Harpers Magazine, that Alaska .should 'bo made into a penal colony and certain classes of criminals be transported tnere for life or long terms. The proposition is one that should Tong ago have received careful consideration, and, uw believe been adopted. It is only just now beginning to be generally discussed; and by-the-way. we notice that one of the Lafayette papers, with characteristic assurance, claims the credit of or-, iginating the project. The Church at Work, the bright abd able state organ of the l’resbyterian church, deals out a good deal cf wisdom in a fe\V words, in the following remarks on the subject of temperance reform: Ther are too many wise men interested in the temperance cause. No reform will die inaugurated with the elements of permananey in it until temperance people unite on one basis. “The children of this world" must not be wiser than those who are working for the freedom of rum’s slaves. We must learn to 1 take the best restrictions at hand; then push oii the work of education, legislation, enforcement of law, just as fast as we can make them successful. We don’t refuse to work on sinners simply because we can't prohibit sin. The church has toe' much sanctified common sense for that. ■HMMttanamcnu ' '■ “ The citizens cf Warren, a small town south of Wabash, recently struck an or! well, and like the people of Francesrille they employed a man from Lima, Ohio, to -diced the well, and with the same apparent result, namely, the ruin the well. The people of , Warren believe that this result was intentional, and -tlrat the well was slfot above the oil level, for the f/urpose of destroying it It is

supposed that the man was in the era ploy of the Standard Gil Com - pauy and the object to prevent the .opening of oil fields in the west. Who knows bq,t the explanation of the destruction of the-Frances vide \ycll is to be. found in this incident | There was certainly a good deal of curious and crooked maneuvering done, by the men who bored the well, after each vein of oil was reached, and ttyese facts, taken in connection with the destruction of the well, and the similar <>ceurrei ee at Wtu rert, * would setm to furnish a pretty strong chain of circumstances. “ .

McFwen denies that any democrat uttered the words deiiuneij atory of Urn Democratic -methods. : published in last week’s E.vß’BLl- | can. Perhaps our Bourbon noighi bor will also deny that the words Iwe this week quote from the New j Albany Public Press wero ever | published in that paper. Mac and all Democrats of his stripe will swear that black is white and white black, if they think their party will be bonefitted, but, thank -heaven, all Democrats are not quite such blind worshippers of their hopelessly corrupt and reactionary party. There sometimes comes a period when its villianies become so glaringly apparent that enough of the better men of the party turn against it, to cause its defeat. That was the case m Indiana, in 18S(3, and still more notably so in Chicago this Spring. In this last case, a long period of Democratic misrule had so completely disgusted the decent people that the Democrats found it impossible to even maintain their party organization, in the face of such a mighty popular can lumration. . The new route agents on the L., N. A. & (\, all democrats of course, make miserable work at handling, the mails and -it need not surprise any of*putf out-bt-tdwp subscribers it their papers reach them three or four days late, or if occasionally a number turns up missing entirely. Week before last car Remington package was two days longer than necessary in reaching, its its destination; and last week our Medaryville package, which should have reached that town Thursday evening, had not been received up to Saturday evening and perhaps has not got There even yet. Inefficient management of the postal service has been a national subject of complaint ever since the democrat i-c party came into power,' and ■The inefficiency increases at about the same ratio That the number- of Republican “rascals” in the service decreases. Turn the rest of the rascals out, and the sooner will the people see the necessity of turning them back in. Inasmuch as the Francesyille I Era endorses the snarling of the , Winamae cur at this paper, in re-- ! gaixl to- tee oil well matter, refer- ! red to last week, we shall now ad- ! chess a couple of plain questions to the Era, with the parting inj junction to that paper and the ! Winamae weak brother to henceforth be more enterprising and thus avoid the necessity of slandering their neighbois as a means of covering up their own defects: Will the Frahcesville Era, or the Winamae Republican, either, answer those two simple questions! Was not the second vein of oil at the Fraucesville well discovered on Monday, March l4tk? Is it not a. feet that the Rensse- ■ LAER Rkpublicasein its issue of : the same week tips second vein 1 was discovered, contained an anI nouncemeut of the discovery: and is it not equally a fact' that neither The T’raneesvilie Era nor ' the Winamae Republican, in their ; issues of the same week,. made any 'aHusiontothemPwTirrTwiirrtcTrTT' Now these simple questions cover the whole matter in-dispute and we call upon the two papers:.above mentioned to answer them in a plain, truthful manner or to stand condemned as willful slanderers jand liars; a; d that’s the plain English of the whole matter. Let | them put up or shut up. r _

AN HONEST EXPRESSION.

A Oemocratlcl* Paper Boldly Denounces the'Record Iln Burly Haw Bade. The New Albany Public Press, one of tlie ablest Democratic newspapers in I ndiana, is candid enough to admit that the course of its i party in the managment of the j affairs ot this state is outrageous • and inexcusable. Reviewing the events of the past winter, the Press jsays: “It is with Inundation and shame that the Public Press views I much i,f The Democratic record I now ht-ii g presented to tlie public. It set itr s tlfit the democratic j incompetents nhd thieves have ! managed to get in office too often instead of the many honest men within its organization. The Indiana Senate undertook to I steal tlie office of Lieffienaiibgovernor and place ft usurper in km place in direct violation of the will of the people expressed at the polls. At tlie next general election, this theft will l>e relmkr-d by tlie honest voters of this state. Legislative investigations into the affairs of two of our state institutions, managed by Democrats, disclosed startling frauds and cruel treatment of the unfortunates under their charge. It has been proven that the inmates of the asylum have been cruelly treated, not only corporeally by their attendant, but they have been fed on maggoty butter, stale Hour, diseased pork and other food unfit for dogs to eat. The legislative committees investigated the management, of the southern prison and reported reeking rottenness, had book-keeping, prisoners, plundered and cruelly treated, startling defalcations and other revelations too numerous to mention. This state of affairs is very damaging as well as humiliating and disgraceful to the Democratic party and will lie the means of defeating us iu the coming political' battle of 1888. Teaching reform, economy honesty and decency, and practicing corruption, extravagance, dishonesty and public plunder, will noT deceive the people, and at the first opportunity they will vote tor a change,-and demand in terms too plain to be misunderstood and too f orcible and emphatic to be disregarded, that the'rascals be turned out.

The New Stock Law.

Therehaa been a great deal ol concern lately manifested in this county, in regard to the new law in regard to the running at large of stock, aud the-idea has become widely prevalent that the law wholly prohibits the running at large of stock, in all parts of the state. This impression seems to have been mainly due to attempts of certain persons in Indianapolis to scare the Township Trustees and Road Supervisors into paying 50 cents or a dollar for copies of the law. For tlie purpose of heading oil’ these catch-penny games and also of relieving a great deal of unnecessary apprehension among the stock owners of the county we publish the law in full: An act to regulate the taking up of animals that run at large ami declaring i an emergency Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly, .of the State of Indiana, that it is hereby made the duty of all road Supervisors upon-view, or information, to cause till horses, mules, cattle, sheep, goats hr swine found at large upon the roads, commons or uninelostd lands,'within their respective districts, which are not authorized to run at large by order of the board of county commissioners as by law provided; to be impounded and such other proceedings had as required by the | provisions of chapter eleven of the Revised statutes of 1881 being an act concerning running at large. If any such road supervisor shall fail to perform such duty, he shall bp fined not less than one nor more than live dollars for « 1 . each and every eftonse, and the .trustee of the township is hereby authorized, am! required, to retain any unpaid fines of costs, from any sam that may be due and unpaid to such supervisor . tor set - vises rendered in his official capacity. Section 2, Whereas an emergency exists for the immediate taking effect of iliis aeh-therefore the same -ghallvfae-: Approved March 7,1881, This law does not interfere with the running at large of stock m districts where already permitted to do so, by order of County Commissioners, nor does it interfere or repeal the power of the C mrnissiouers to make or rescind such orders in tlie future, but its sole pur- j
