It is now stated that one remarkable result of the great Catholic Congress, now in session .in .Baltimore, will be the lifting of the ban of the church against secret societies. ■ The states of our Union now number forty-two, in full standing. The proclamation declaring Montana and Washington fully admitted having both been issued by the president. The coils are tightening about the Cronin conspirators, and the prospects are now promising that several of those now on trial will stretch hemp and the others laud for long terms in the penitentiary. The arch conspirator has not been clearly caught yet, and unless some of those on trial tarn state’s evidence, the subtle villain will probably escape. g^gHSEHansuißisinCTiun The New York World, which is managed by an enterprising western man, having vainly exhausted every effort to spur the reluctant New Yorkers into subscribing a respectable fuud for a world’s fair, has adopted the expedient of employing cheap hands in different places, all over the country, to circulate petitions in favor of New York. The adoption of such a puerile expedient is pretty good proof that the Workl is in tar state of mind over New York’s prospects. —"“Leaf by leaf the roses fall,” hut tfae-acts-nf the dale fool-Legists^ tuie are...lieiilg knocked silly by the Supreme Court, not at the rate of leaf by leaf, but by whole chapters. The latest judicial knockouts of this character are the overthrow of that absurd piece of demagogic legislation which prohibited the piping of natural gas out of the state, and the usurping election by the Legislature of State . Statistician,State Oil Inspector and State Geologist. At present we can feeall but a single act of the late Legislature which has withstood the scrutiny of the Supreme Court, namely, the law increasing saloon license tax. Notwithstanding the great hulabaloo made by the Democrats over! the results of the late elections, there is nothing in those results tlufi should or does especially discourage Republicans. With the exception of ths single office of thegovernorship of lowa the Demo-i orats have got nothing at the elec* tion which they have not got many times before, in “off years,” and the result in lowa, on Governor, was the result of purely local causes. The state is reliably Republican in national politics and will be found so, when the time comes, by most decided majorities. Even this time the Legislature and all the state offices, except one, are Republican. In Ohio the Democrats almost always carry the Legislature in off years, and have had a United States Senator for

the laßt dozen years, and the election of a Democratic Governor there, is not at all an unusual occurrence. There is not the least reason to fear for the state in the general election. New Yoik and New Jersey have not done nearly solmdly as they have many times before, while Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Nebraska show no signs of wavering in the Republican faith. Furthermore, Republicans ought to remember theresults in the new states before they indulge in discouraging reflections. There the question of politics was much more sharply drawn, and the result was a complete victory for the Republicans every place but in the heretofore democratic territory of Montana, and nearly a complete victory there.

One of Rensselaei’s deservedly popular preachers devoted a portion of his sermon, last Sunday morniDg, to criticising The Republican on account of a little paragraph in last week’s issue, in reference to the taking off of the Sunday accommodation train and the supposed resulting failure of the Indianapolis Sunday papers to ; reach their Rensselaer patrons. That portion of the good brother’s remarks which criticised the alleged expression by this paper, of regret at the taking off of the Sunday train, was based on an erronious and, indeed, blamably careless reading of the item, because no, such expression of regret can be found in the item, nbr anything which can be fairly construed into such an expression. And so far as.the item seems to encourage or, at least, to condone, the reading of Sunday papers, The Re. publican has no apologies to make We are always ready to extend every encouragement in our power to every effort, which we deem practicable, upon the part of churches or ministers to advance the common good, but we have no sympathy with any attempt, at this day and age, to restore the dismal and awful Sabbath of Puritan New England and the Scottish Covenanters. We do notconsider.it a frightful sin to read a secular paper, nor to call at the post-office on the Sabbath, nor for people to make a friendly visit to their neighbors, nor to enjoy a pleasant ride,nor fora man to kiss his wife, nor a youug man to visit his sweet-heart, nor even for parents to allow their children to indulge a little in innocent amusements on that day; nor will we encourage or countenance any attempt upon the part of others to teach that such things are sinful. Such ideas of Sunday observance as that have no warrant in common sense nor in the teachings of the New Testament.

The story that Vice President Morton has taken out a saloon license for his apartment house in Washington has been proven a silly and contemptible lie, but the infamous slander is, nevertheless, being reiterated by a class of speakears and writers who have become lost to every sense of fairness and decency. Borne fellow in Washington, a pimp perhaps, telegraphed a misleading message to the W. C. T. U. convention at Chicago on last Saturday, in which he sought, by implication, to clinch the original charge made against the Vice President, and the fool fanatics manifested a decided disposition to believe him. The fact is, Mr. Morton has no connection with any saloon, directly or remote, and the disreputable end unconscionable rascals who are charging him with having taken out a license to retail liquors in Washington, are a thousand times meaner than the worst grog-shop keeper in the universe. Mr. Morton is a high-minded, inoffensive gentleman, and it is a crying shame that he should be traduced and persecuted by a lot of weazen-faced fanatics and halfmade men who are permitted, by some mysterious dispensation of provideuce, to inflict the earth.— Lafayette Courier.

VOTERS WHO MUST REGISTER.

Indianapolis Journal. An important feature of the new election law, of which little has been said, is that relating to the registration of certain voters. The Democratic Legislature would not consent to a general registration law, as desired by Republicaas

and provided for by the Constitu-! tioo, but did agree to a limited! registry, which will serve a gqod 1 purpose as far as it goes. The proviskme on this point are that the voter must register in the county. clerk’s office three months before election, if, having been a resident 1 self from the State for six months of more; if, having been a resident ‘ of Indiana he has voted in another state; if, having been a resident of Indiana, he has gone into another State with the intention of voting there; if he has not been a bona Jidi resident of theeonnty in which he resides for at least six months before the election. This registration need not be made if prior to leaving the State the voter files with the county clerk a notice of his intention to hold residence in Indiana. l These registrations will interfere seriously with portalion. of voters, from which Republicans have suffered so mudi in the.border counties and larger towns, and the only wonder is that the Dctaocraey inadvertently consented to a lessening of its own vote and one of its cherished elements of strength. Some’provisions of the Taw are open to objections, but Republicans have certainly no reason to find fault with this. It is quite possible that the rules were intended by tife overhacute members of the opposition to apply to Republican federal office-holders temporarily out of the State, but these gentlemen are not to bo caught in this way, and will be at home and will vote when they are needed.

News and Notions About the “Three I” Railway.

Chicago Inter-Ocean-The Indiana, Illinois and lowa Railroad Company have just completed arrangements whereby Chicago will have anew belt liue. The dine will be on an average of sixty miles from the center of the city. At present it extends from Streator, 111., to New Buffalo, Mich., but the probabilities are that the company will build from Streator to the west coast of Lake~ Michigan by next Spring. A close traffic arrangement has been made for the use of a certain portion of the Chicago and Indiana Coal Company’s road from a point near W7heatfield, Ind., to LaCrosse, Ind. From that point to New Buffalo they have leased the Chicago & West Michigan road, thereby tapping every eastern railroad entering Chicago. On the west at present, they strike the Alton, the Santa Fe, the Burlington, and a branch of the Rock Island. It is possible that the latter road will use the Three XT’s for an eastern outlet instead of the Kankakee and Seneca and Big Four, as at present, in case the Rock Island does not go into the Vanderbilt scheme. The talk of using the three I.’s as a connecting link between the Santa Fo and the Baltimore and Ohio has been revived by this deal, as this would prove a powerful rival to the Vanderbilt combine. Division and general headquarters for the new line are to he located at Kankakee and the projected extension from Knox. Ind . to South Rend will probably he abandoned.

Sizes of the New Stamps.

The new postage stamps will be about one-eighth smaller than the present stamps, and the same size as the English and other European issues. The one-cent stamp will be blue as at present, the twocent carmine, the three-cent royal purple, the four-cent chocolate, the five-ceut light brown, the six-ceut vermillion, the ten-cent green, the fifteen-cent steel blue, the thirtycent black, and the ninety-ceut orange.

OBITUARY.

Died. In Atwood township, Kansas, October 30, 1889, Mrs. Abigail Dumond, a former resident of Jasper couuty, Ind., aged 66 years, 5 months and 11 days.

Alex, Myron and Emma, residing in Rawlins county, Kansas; Daniel Dumond and Sophrona Dumond, residing in Dakota. Mrs. Dumond was born m Sandusky, Ohio, May 19,1823.

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

In the case of James Snyder, asi administrator of the estate of Jas. Pickner, on trial as we went to press fast week, the jury awarded the plaintiff a verdict of $4,000. The case turned on the character of the broken hand-car handle, and the jury thought that it was a dewould not have been used had the company used due care and diligence in inspecting the .wood before it was used. The defendant was given until the first day of the next term in which to file a motion for a new trial. It may be taken for granted that the case will ultimately go to the Supreme Court. J ' Besides the Thornton divorce, already mentioned, decrees of divorce were granted in two other eases: Moses Wilson, of Union township, got a divorce from Naney Wilson, on the plea of abandonment, and Maiinda Mitchell was given a decree, on the same grounds, from Jacob Mitchell. She was given p rmission to resume her maiden name of. Goff. Chas.-Armstrong paid $lO ami costs for selling liquor without aT license and Oscar Doe and Wm. Lewark got off with $1 each and costs for plain drunks. There is also a good reason for believing that a number of the high toned poker sharps of Remington cont ributed liberally to the school fund, on pleas of guilty of gambling. John Maeterton’s case was continued to the January term, under bail of $25, which, so far, he is unable to furnish. The case against Chas. McCully, for selling 1 iq uor without license, was also continued.

John Brandt vs. Henry Granger final report of receiver and foreclosure of mortgage. Thos. J. Mallatt vs. Geo. W. Harter et al, decree to quiet title in plaintiff'.

Painful Boils.

About three years ago I was troubled with poison in my blood, very irrating and painful boils breaking out all over my body. For two years I suffered with them trying all sorts of medicines, and doctor’s perscriptions without avail. Becoming disgusted with doctors and medicines I had used up to this time. I concluded to try S. S. S. and the result was far beyond my A few bottles left me in better health than I had been since' childfiood. I consider S. S.
