J. H. Lewis has sold a half interest in the Fowler Era to \\ ilbur Morgan, and the name of the paper is changed to the ‘‘Beaton Republican.”

The Evening Wisconsin, of Milwaukee, a tried and reliable Republican paper, expresses a good deal of truth in these few incisive words: The Wisconsin believes it speaks strict!}* within bounds and voices the sentiment of thoughtful Republicans of the Northwest in saying there is no journal of any politioal name in the country which will alienate more Republican votes in the coming national election than the kaleidoscopic, guerrilla Republican sheet known as the Chicago Tribune. Its advocacy of Judge Gresham’s candidacy is the most formidable obstacle to his success.

“Uncle Billy” Greenfield, the Republican candidate for Trustee in Marion towlishipi is one of the best, kindest and most popular and honest old gentlemen that ever lived, and has no lack of knowledge and ability, either, and the affairs of the township will be entirely safe in his hands. Uncle Billy’s great popularity, in all parts of tiie township, is well shown by the vote cast for him at the primary conventions, ''last Friday. Not only were the Republicans- of the town of Rensselaer overwhelmingly in favor of his nomination, but even in the country districts he received more votes than either of the other candidates, good men as they are, and residents - of, the country.

An Infamous Forgery.

Indiana Christian Advocate.'.--TKe Frolnbition party of Indiana Is issuing what purports -to be , the speech of Professor Parkli urst, but it is not. Professor Parkhurst, like the two hundred and forty thousand other prohibitionists of Indiana, wishes to reach prohibition through non-partisan action, if possible, and if he cannot get it at once he will approach it through local option, hence in his speech to the Club at Greencastlehe said: ~‘J will aid either of the old parties ihat mil give vs even a chance at local option," thus putting himself in a line with the almost unanimous sentiment of the prohibitionists of Indiana. This manly sentence is omitted in the edition sent out by the Prohibition party, and he is made to join hands with the party to demand separate political action under all circumstances. Was there ever a baser political trick ? How desperate must be a cause that must resort to so bold a forgery, and supported •chiefly by preachers, at thatl

The Story of the Crimen of the Insane Hospital Told in a Few Words.

The “Brown Bill,” a partisan Democratic measure, introduced in the Legislature of 1883/by JaB. Brown, made tho three great benevolent of [the state the spoils of the -DemoI crntic caucus, and “Dr.” Harrison, ! Phil Gapcn and B. H. Burrel! ' were elected by a striot party vote as the trustees for the Indiana | Hospital for the * Insane. Hew (have they administered their trust? | These men have filled the Asylum with their political henchmen i for partisan purposes. They have I purchased legislative influence by I wholesale nepotism., They have ! established sinecures, have paid | excessive wages to political favor- ; ites, and reduced to a system the ! trnflic for place. They have permitted and encouraged political activity,- the raising of campaign funds; the formation of Democratic political clubs, at the Asylum; IE? candidacy of employees and their attendance at ■ political conventions, thus impairing the efficiency of the service and diverting the funds of the whole people to party in

consideration for political work. They hftve eo conducted the Asylum that (513 changes had to be made in less than four years by reason of the unfitness and incompetency of their employes. They have thus consigned the insane to the care of reckless, brutal attendants, by whom one pa- ] tient was wilfully suffered to escape, by whose negligence others were killed, and by whose cruelty many of these, helpless beings were systematically beaten, tormented and abused. Under their administration, hogs were killed for the tables of the patients out of a drove dying from a malignant and contageous disease; oleomargarine, rancid and maggoty butter, decayed and wormy apples, peaches and prunes; bad bread and coffee; rice, fish, pork, cheese and other articles unfit to eat were furnished and supplied to the insane, while food better in quality and in greater variety was placed upon the tables of the officers. They caused goods to be accepted by the Hospital which were not according to the contract, and which were uufit for use, because such goods were furnished by cmit ractors who vvere tlieif personal and political friends. They fraudulently. allowed a claim of 8500 to be paid out of state funds, of which they were trustees, to C. S. Wesuer, an attorney employed in defense of the iniquitous management before the Committee of the House of Representatives.

After their misdoings had been exposed, they procured the appointment of a committee by the Senate for the purpose of exonerating themselves from their guihfey responsibility for these abuses. The investigation of their conduct was taken away from the Senate Committee on Benevolent Institut hmsi to which -it properly belong--edj-and was consigbed so a special committee appointed by Green Smith, who was a personal beneficiary of the present corrupt system of party management. This committee was composed in part of other beneficiaries of this corrupt management, among whom was a relative of a member of the Board of Trustees, and a majority on said committee were the devoted political adherents of said Board. They produced as a fit instrument of their defense an attorney, Henry, N. Spaan, a man then under charge of .fraiwlnVnHyaltering election returns, and whoi was then under indictment Mot

crimes coii mitted in connection therewith. They corruptly procured the appointment of this man, their own attorney, to be the attorney of the Senate Committee, who were their judges, and thus caused' him not only to assume inconsistent duties but to be corruptly allowed the sum of 8200 out of the moneys belonging to the State for services performed in their behalf. By their said attorney there was drawn up and prepared a pretended report and finding of facts, filled with falsehoods and misstatements of every kind, which paper was signed by the chairman of the Senate Committee, and adopted by vote of the Democratic members of the Senate, and published as a correct statement of their administration of.tiie Hospital. Mr. Gapen abandoned his duties as Trustee for a year to engage in. business in Arkansas, and yet demanded and leceived salary for services which were never performed, out of a fund which was not applicable for such a purpose. As Treasurer of the Asylum he received from Mellen & Co. a rebate upon the purchase money for to the Asylum by that firm, which rebate he f eloniouely

embezzled and when detected he falsely charged that the sum had been appropriated by Dr. Fletcher an innocent man, who had never received the money. According to his own testimony he was in the habit, as Treasurer of tho Board, of £>hying out radney without taking receipts therefor, and he erroneously paid out funds of the State for debts which had already been paid in full. Even after the investigation conducted by the last General Assembly, he continued to abandon bis Trustee and Treasurer of the Board to prosecute his private business in Arkansas, and continued to draw pay for services which he neglected to perform.

More Fine Horses.

It is our privilege to chronicle some more very important additions to the fine stock owned in Rensselaer. At Woodard Sc Harbisen’s great combination sale of fine Heutueky horses, in Indianapolis, last vweek, Emmet Kannal bought the black Hambletonian tnare, “Lady Dot’’ by Hambletonian Sprague. The price was 81,485. Ht* also bought the - standard bred one year old chestnut stallion, “Messenger Boy” bred at Frankfort, Ky., for $460. There is scarcely a better bred horse than Messenger Boy in the state of Indiana. Mr. Kannal also bought the chestnut filley, “Pomona, but resold her. James Maloy also attended the sale and bought the thorough-bred runuing bay gelding, “Josiah,” 4 years old. The above horses arrived in Rensselaer Sunday morning. , ... .

SHOVING THE QUEER.

Two Goodland Men Arrested. A great deal of excitement has been occasioned in this section by I the arrest, last week, of two well ' connected young men of Goodland, j charged with passing counterfeit i money. Their names are John H. Banes and James Happ. They j were bath clerks in the store of : Wm. Banes, a brother of John H., and one of the leading merchants of Goodland. They were arrested by a deputy U. S. marshal and taken to Indianapolis where they are held under bonds of 810,000 each. They are young men but bbth have lately married. The counterfeits nrej 85 silver certificates. Their circulation was first detected by Fred Gilman, cashier of the Gooclland bank. Exaggerated rumors regarding the amount of the counterfeits that have been circulated in Goodland and vicinity, put the sum at 820,000, but later and much more reliable estimates cut the amount down to 81,000. How much, if any, of this has found its way into Jasper county, we have heard no estimates. Dr. M*. Traugh, the dentist of Remington, had 880 or S9O of the stuff put on to him by Sapp, in paying a debt, and Miss Anna Parker, cou?t stenographer, also of Remington, took a bill from the treasurer of Newton county, and one of the Remington barbers is also stuck with'one of the bills. So far as heard from none of the counterfeits have found their way to Rensselaer. Since the arrest of Banes and Sapp the Chicago papers have had much to say about the matter, and it is estimated that $50,000 worth of the bogus certificates have been circulated in Chicago and vicinity. - Thq counterfeits are of five dollar silver certificates of the series of 1886, and by all accounts are exceedingly well executed. The discovery of this circulation of bad money so near this town has, naturally, created considerable alarm here, and, for the time being, the circulation of five dollar silver certificates was entirely suspended. All the banks here refused to accept them and while the banks maintained that attitude no one else would accept the bills. After fuller descriptions of the counterfeits had been received, the banks began to take the interdicted bills again, yesterday.

What Am I to Do?

The symptoms of Biliousness are unhappily but too well known. They differ in different individuals to some extent. A Bilious man is seldom a breakfast'eater. 100 frevuently, alas, 1 he has an excellent appetite for liquids but none for solids of a morning. His tongue will hardly bear inspection at -any tflrtSTiot white and furred',' it is ro sjgh, at all events. The digestive system is-wholly out of order and Diarrhea orclon&tlpation may be a svmpton or the two rpay alternate. There may be giddiness and often headache and acidity or flatulence and tenderness in the pit of the stomach. To correct all this it not effect a cure try Green’s'August Flower, it cost, but a trifle and thousands attest its efficacy
