The Valparaiso Messenger thinks Calvin S. Brice, of New York, will make a good senator from Ohio, because “there is nothing stuck-up about the man.” But it was not the absence of the “stuck-up” but the presence of the “put-up” qualities which made him senator, ami there is nothing in the man’s past career which gives evidence o. the possession of I any remarkable qualities further ! than a genius for making money by speculation and an adroitness in spending it for his own pleasure and gratification. A good sen-’ ator, forsooth! He will cut no larger figure as a statesman than did Coal-oil Payne, the other boodle senator whom he succeeds. <. The hew non-partisau women's temperance organisation, organized in Cleveland, Ohio, last week, begins its career under auspicious circumstances. The old organization, the W.C. T. U., did noble work for temperance reform until it became a political organization, and there is no reason for doubt-

ing bit Thai The new order will take up the work which the older laid down, and do good service to this good cause. The name the new organization lias chosen is “National Crusaders.” One of the notable features of the meeting of Cleveland was a letter from the grand old£ Quaker poet and philanthropist, John G. Whittier, the essential portions of which are quoted below: “I have always regretted the action of the W. C. T. U. in taking a partisan position. Ido not, by any means, impeach the motive of the noble and devoted women of that Organization, but I have seen no good accomplished by their separate political action, I hope the non-partisan temperance workers will not waste time and strength in combating the political organization, but go forward in their own way, which I think is the best Hint so far as I can see the only one likely to accomplish the great object of temperance effort. With all good wishes, I am thy friend^

The District Convention.

The delegate convention, held at Hammond last Thursday, to elect a chairman of the Republican congressional committee, who should also be a member of the State Committee, was well attended by representative republicans from all parts of the district. M. E. Chilcote, of Rensselaer, was made chairman of the convention and C, C. Griffin, of Lake county, secretary. The following reeolu-

tions were unanimously adopted: Resolved. That this convention favors the location of the world’s fair at Chicago, in 1892, and requests Hon. W. D. Oweu to labor with us in the accomplishment of this undertaking. Resolved. That the delegates of the Tenth congressional district indorse the administration of our Hoosier President, Benjamin Harrison. and the course of our representative in Congress, W. D. Owen. Resolved. That the Hon. W. D. Owen be requested to vote and use his influence to secure the passage in Congress of the general service pension bill indorsed by the National Grand Army Encampment at Columbus, 0., a year ago last August, and indorsed again by the same encampment, at Milwaukee, last August, Baid bill providing in substance, for a pension of not less than $8 per month for all Union soldiers honorably discharged. The committee then proceeded to re-elect Hon. E. D. Crumpacker, of Poiter county, a member of the State central committee by a unanimous vote, and after brief speeches the convention adjourned. ‘

Business Facts vs. Free Trade Theories.

Just now the advocate of. free foreign trade finds it especially difficult to uphold the claim that a protective tariff is a tax to be paid by those who buy the products of the protected industry. The facts stand out in contradiction of his theory in figures so plain that he who runs can read them.

With steel rails, on which there is a tariff of sl7 per ton, selling at the same price in the United States as iu England; while United States manufacturers, notwithstanding their protection by a tariff averaging forty per cent, are selling to Canada eighty per cent, of her hardware and machinery; with a suit of good serviceable clothes selling as low in Chicago or New York as in notwithstanding the tariff on woolens equal to fifty per cent, advalorem; with some lin'es of cotton goods selling for no more than 'the tariff charged on similar imported fabrics; "with an export trade of more than $23,000,000 worth of lumber and manufactures from wood in 188 S, notwithstanding* the $2 per thousand feet tariff on the former and thir-ty-five per-cent, on the latter;with all these there comes an array of facts beside which the threadbare speculations of the theorist seem as but a hill of sand. While every line’ of business is furnishing such fucts as these what becorhes of n prominent reform apostle's contention that our tariff enhances “prices to consumers of articles imported and subject to duty by precisely the Bum paid for such duties?” In 1889 we imported more than $20,000,000 value of iron and steel manufactures, not including tin-plates, which we do not manufafcture. With prices so nearly equal here and in Europe, who believes that these could be bought for forty per cent, less money in the absence

of the' tariff? j It would require very liille more credulity to believe f lint in the whs**pee of a tariff oil cotton goods English uhtuiifaptnrers would giv6 us our calicoes.

Provisions of the New Law Affecting the Coming Spring Election of Township Officers.

We give herewith the provisions of the new law regarding the election and term of office of township trustees and other officers. Section 4,737 of the Revised Statutes of 1881 was amended by the last legislature so that township trustees and assessors, instead of taking their office ten days after their election as heretofore, “shall enter upon the duties of their offices on the first Monday of August following such election.” Another act of the &anie _ !egislature provides that township elections shall be held “on the first Monday of April, 1890, and every fourth year thereafter, for the purpose of electing Justices of the | Peace, Township Trustees, Asses-! sors, Constables and such other 1 officers of townships as may be ; provided for by law, which elec- j tions shall be conducted by the of- I fleers and governed by the provis- • ions of the law with respect to gen- I eral elections, so far as The coming spring election will be held under the old law, the An- j stralian not going into operation until June, 1890. As to the eligibility for the of-1 fice of township trustee, the new ] law provides that “any person who : has held the office of township trustee for two terms consecutively at the date of the next township election in April, 1890, shall not

be eligible to said office for the next ensuing term; and thereafter no person shaikhs eligible to the office of township trustee more than four years in any period of eight years.” Under the new law the term of office of township trustees, assessors, constables and supervisors is four years —the same as justices of the peace. One constable is elected for each justice of the peace in a township and one supervisor for each road district as heretofore. In regard to the employment of teachers by outgoing trustees to teach during a time beyond the expiration of the trustee’s term of office, the Attorney General has ruled that such practice is allowable, and teachers may therefore be employed by the present trustees.

THE COURT RECORD.

CIVIL CASES DISPOSED OF DURING THE JANUARY TERM. A large portion of the last week was taken up by the trial of two threshing machine suits, in the circuit court. The first was a suit by the Rumleys, of LaPorte, against Mrs. Elvira Oglesby and her sons, Chas. and Ben, of Hanging Grove. The suit turned on the question whether Mrs. Oglesby was the purchaser of the machine or only a surety for the sons. The case was tried by a jury, and decided in favor of the defendants. The other case was from Carpenter tp., and was brought by the National Bank, of -Battle Creek, Mich., against Thos. J. Lock, to recover on a note for a threshing mneiunrt. Th* set up ti. vi ihe machine was no good ami .the.court, which tried the. case,decided in his favor.

Anson Wolcott’s fifty thousand dollar suit against the Fan Handle By. for damages resulting from refusal to supply cars for shipping hay and grain, has been sent to Cass county, on change of venue, taken by the railroad. No decision has been rendered in the Welsh divorce case, the judge having taken the matter under advisement until tho next term. In the case of James Snyder, administrator of the estate of Jas. Pickuer, killed on the hand-car, near DeMotte, against the I. 1. & I. By. the court over-ruled the motion for a new trial, and entered judgement for the $4,000 given by the jury in November, and the railroad then took au appeal to the Supreme Court. Chas. McCully, of Bemington, who calcomined a portion of the court house last summer, while a prisoner in the hands ot the sheriff, awaiting trial, and whose bill for the work was rejected by the county commissioners, took an appeal to the circuit cdhrt. The decision was again adverse to his claim, and he will now have the costs of the suit to pafT™ The case of Wm. Niles vs. Wm.
