Township Taxes for 1886.

Harrison and Gapen, the two u ,rrupt trustees of tho insane asvV.m. whoto Gov. Gray sunihiarily .a moved a short time since, refuse to give up their places to the men apр. .luted by th ■ governor, and the с. urts will have to settle the matf^.r> . ... ■'; ■ The printed circular for issuing which Gen. Canadian was indicted lit Indianapolis, at the same time as were the democratic tally-sheet Lagers, was published in full in tire Indianapolis Journal of last Thursday. There is not only absolutely nothing criminal in the circular, but nothing, eveneenstir.ble in it. The indictment ot Gene>al CarnahaJi was an outrage and his trial will be a farce.

’ The Republicans investigated the m:~ent of the Insane A-ylnm lust u inter and found it to ho corrupt in the extreme. Harrison and Gapen were the trustees. The Democrats held a slmm investigation and said every thing .wafc lately at the asylum. Now. Governor Gray supersedes Harrison 1 ana Gapen by the appointment off new., men. “Jlets speak. ioudexj. than words.” Governor Gray! knows that what the Mepublieiufj investigation disclosed was true, e v e:v word of it and the Demo* ' ! s:'_ ... r. a Cheat and a fraud, else he would reappoint! those'.'men, to vindicate'them and; his party. —Rochester Tribune. ■ j The Legislature oh Ohio has, just passed an excellent and com-: • prehonsite law which effectually■ removes all the inequalites of the law? ol that state affecting married' voine-n; and the- latter now have! as. full property rights in that; state as have any other class oft citizens. I: is believed by progressive lawyers in Ohio that the passage of this l.w is but the beginning of a course of legislation, •wiii'h will not step until all the antiquated fallacies an \ oppressive • ineipialities in-tke Ohio code fcfTtXP been eliminated/from-the •-statutebooks. Heaven speed the day when Indiana law-makers will follow in the same course, - Senator Sherman s plan for reducing the revenue and therelmi. disposing oi the trouV-lesqme surplus problem, is to remove the tariff. from sugar, which will .diminish the yearly reve.n by ..aboilf 5? mil bong- «nd to givA ti-,-» sugar producers of this country the advantage they now derive fro nr the tariff by giving them i 1 u ttfy of two c»nts on every pound u£ sugar produced. This bounty would require about JO millions a year, this giving a lot .1 reducthm of the revenues of G 2 in HI i one each iye ar. It is altogether the wisest and most statesmen-like plan for dealing. withjt.;:- excessive revenues, aad the one which will prove the

most advantageous to the masses of the people, of any that fias yet been proposed. \ The Supreme Court has decided that (l) The act requiring physic* ians and surgeons to obtain a license is constitutional. (2) One who undertakes to practice tbo profession of medicine without the license required by the statute connot recover compensation for liis services, (3) A physician who | has regularly obtained a license in <u«rcounty cannot practice in an* : other county without taking out another license. Wherq there is an t-mergency demanding prompt action, or where there is a professional visit for consultation, or call is made because of sumo special skill or ability of the physician in a particular branch of his profession, the full vigor of the 'statute might not apply, but iu a suit for services the plaintiff should make the reason clearly appear.

The commissioners have fixed rate of the tax levy for county revenue at 50 cents on the hundred dollars, assessed valuation, for the ensuing year. This is a reduction of 25 cents from last year's rate, and which, with the discontinuance of the county tax of 10 cents on each 8100, makes a | total reduction of 35 ceuts on the §IOO. Last year the rate for county revenue was 75 ceuts on the §IOO, aud this produced revenue sufficient to pay all the ordinary expenses of county government, to build ten or twelve* thousand dollars’ worth of iron bridges, and to increase the balance to the extent of about SI,OOO. Such being the case it is safe to conclude that the rate as just fixed by tho commissioners will yield at least sufficient revenue to pay nil the ordinary running expenses, of the county government, and the surplus of about 820,000 will bo available for iron bridges and other permanent improvements. —v -v- ; -

If the general opinion, as obtained from interviews with both democrats and republicans, can be considered a criterion,'Governor Gray has" made the most popular move of his administration in removing Dr. Harrison and Trustee Gapen from ti e insane hospital board. The fact.is-the better class of dem- . oerats have been wanting to unload them for many months, and would have done so during the last legislature if the opovtunity had presented itseh. As a matter of political ucceus-uty they were compelled to defend tho institution, and iuciuently the trustees from tho republican attacks, been esc the latter had made the management of the hospital and its present condition a campaign issue. Since Harrison and Gapen have been removed they are threatening all kinds of vengeance and retribution dire on the governor and his advisors, but so far as the returns are in they are not receiving any ! great amount of support in-tkjwr. tight. Anyhow what is the ren*& : men should make-such a tight for positions that, so far as the salaries are concerned, are not worth the holding?—lndianapolis Mews.
