M. F. CHILCOTE,

The Hon. IV. D. Owen hits been l one'of Chicago's strongest -friends j for the worid’s fair, clear through, j liis speech in its favor, in Cot>i gress, was one of the ablest and most . effective delivered on the TsnSJeelf su conceded by 1 the press generally. ———— - In politics-the Herald is h “free lance.” Its editor has no political favors to uuy party, and is . bound to no man by reason of his political faith. Don’t make any mistake on this hem I. —Good land Horal <l. • We won’t “make any mistake” on that hand, esteemed contemporary, we assure you. Tour constantly recurring little side swipes in favor of free-trade and, so-called, tariff reform, with sedulous avoidnee of anything that could be possibly construed into critcism of the Democratic party, make very clear the extent of the sincerity of I your protestations of “free lance” | principles. We wont make any mistake on that head, andMonfthelieveihat yonr readera will, either. The House of Representatives has finally voted on the question of the location of the world’s fair. Chicago was in the lead from the first, and was finally chosen on the eighth ballot, after an exciting contest lasting all the afternoon. It is a great victory for western push and enterprise and a great rebuke to eastern snobbishness and self complacency. In fact, > there is no one particular in which J the selection of Chicago gives us more satisfaction than the rebuke it gives to the sneering and insult- j ing manner in which the press and j speakers of New York have treated : the niaims of Chicago during this j contest. Of course this vote of j the House does not fully settle the ! matter, although it is generally conceded to do so, in effect. Under the new election law responsible duties will devolve upon j the respective managers of polity ical parties. Thirty days before an election one republican and one democrat shall meet with the county cierk and constitute the county board of election commissioners and prepare and distribute ballots for election of all county officers. One week before an election the chairmen of the respective committees shall appoint election ; judges for each precinct. Five 1 days before an election they shall appoint two election sheriffs, one of daefi party, for each election precinct; four days before each election a poll clerk for each preffinef. As will be seen, this makes considerable work for a chairman, all of which he is expected to perform without pay.

One of those ridiculous political campaign lies now so popular with the free trade press has been going the rounds, to the effect that the fa rm mortgages of Indiana aggregate $635,000,000. State Treasurer Lemcke was appealed to for information, and this is his reply: '“I have to say that the assessment of ‘B9 shows $831,000,000. This is about 50 per cent of actual value. The Bankers’ Monthly’s guess at Indiana’s farm mortgages is preposterous, and that fanciful estimate can only arise with and be believed by those who are hostile to the existing economical status of the Country, and is being persistently and systematically put forth for political purposes. The true figures can not possibly reach one half of that amount. Our Indiana farmers are not paupers, but on the contrary are in moderately good condition. The tax duplicate gives the value of land in Indiana at $309,000,000 and improvements thereon, $65,000,000 making a total of Multiply this sum by two iu order to ascertain the actual value, and yon get $750,000,000. 1 Is it reasonable to suppose that the money-lender would lend so near the value of the collateral? Would not human nature require a greater margin? The fact is that nowhere do investors lend more than 50 cents on the dollar on aotual/values of farming land, independent of the improvement^]!^

OUR EXPERTS.

I la a/avorite argument of the fiV. -ira h-rs that amler a protec-' tivi: t-iriffuiie products of America:) manufactoriescan find sale only in home markets, and are ! barred out by reason of the price s demanded for them, froth the world, says the New York Mail . and Express. This argument is just as worthy of credence os the great majority "dr the stock aguments .in favor with the friends of the British system. That is to say, is worthy of no credence at all. Its utter baselessness is most ! conclusively shown by the volume of exports of manufactured goods from the United States during the eleven months -prior to* December, 1889. During this period our exports >. agricultural implements of all kinds amounted in valueto $4,018,458, and our exports of iron and steel and their various manufactures to $21,068,055. .... In the corresponding period of 1888 we exported $2,634,412 worth of agricultural implements and our total exports of iron, steel and articles manufactured front iron and steel were $17,850,858 in value. Thus this increase of our reports of goods of this sort amounted in one year to $4 ; 631,143. We exported to England alone in the first eleven mouths of 1880 $434,982 worth of agricultural implements, $845,145 Worth of. sewing machines and $1,485,389 worth of steam engines and other machinery. In the face of cold, haid tacts like these, what becomes of the I theory that the protective" tariff t keeps the American manufacturer j out of “the markets of the world?” J

“TWO” AND “TWE.”

Indianapolis Journal. | A Democratic exchange com- ! plains of the alacrity with which j the Republican members of the j House voted to eject Jackson, of West Virginia, when, as it plain-! tively observes, not one jn ten I had ever investigated the evidence | in the case. Investigation was I hardly necessary in a case concern-; ing which so much had been said | in the newspapers, and in which i the facts on which the contest was based were officially admitted by the Democrats. The election in i the Fourth West Virginia district was very close, and the result de- i pended upon whether the returns | of one couniy lead 802 or 812 , votes. In the returns the number ' was written out, and not given in) figures. In that State the returns are sent to the Governor, who is- ' sues certificates of election.—The ! announcement had been made, and was not disputed by the Governor, j that the vote from that county was j 802. Presently it was found that : these figures elected the Republic i can candidate, whereupon the in- j genious Democratic Governor de- ! dared that the word which had hitherto been counted as “two” j was not two, but “twe,” and there-; fore was to be regarded as an ab- j breviation for twelve or twenty, j No one had ever heard of such an i abbreviation, but as the number j 812, wouldj give the Democratic candidate a majority of three, | which was as good as a majority of eleven, the Governor decided that twelve it should be, and issued the certificate accordingly. Even the party organs that grumble over the unseating of Jackson do not undertake to offer proof that he is emit ind to the. seat 7

HEARD ON THE CORNERS.

“These fellows who always make themselves humpbacked circulating ballots and carrying the halt to the polls,” said an ex-politician, “are considerably bothered what they will do when the new law goes into effect. The general law, and the bribery law provides strictly against the use of money or other valuables in influencing voters; prohibits the hiring of workers, and drives every one fifty feet away from the polls, and a man found on the outside of the polling place with o ticket is a subject for the i penitentiary. It will be like Suni duy around the polls, and it not 1 only falls heavily on the* workers but on the professional leeches (who always waited for the highest bid. lam told of a conversation that was overheard between ’members of the above class when the question was sprung, ‘What’s the maL ter with we floaters being paid to remain at home, if we can’t get pay for voting.’ Now, that was a point pretty well taken, but is a feature that was foreseen by the state Solons and it might be well to call atteniou to section four of an act passed at the last session to maintain political purity, in which it is provided that any one who shall influence or prevent any elector to refrain from voting or remain away from the polls shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not less than $25

CLOSE ESCAPE FROM A FEARFUL WRECK.

Delphi Journal. The Motion accommodation due in this city' at eleven o’clock at night, from Indianapolis, had a narrow escaped from a disastrous wreck at the “High Bridge,” over Deer Creek, near this, city Tuesday night. The train was pulling along toward Delphi at its usual rate of speed, when from some cause, three cars jumped the track. Luckily no one was injured, but the passengers, who were on the rear end of the train, were as near scared to death as any set of travelers that ever footed it into Delphi The cars jumped the track within a few feet of the south end of the bridge, and the excited passengers could not help thinking what a shaking up they would have received had the cars waited to jump until they got on the bridge, and then taken the bridge and the rest of the train down with them. The bridge is 78 above the water, and as the splashing and gurgling of the stream came up through the darkness Tuesday night it caused “goose flesh” to stand on every individual who was on the train. It is difficult to ascertain the cause of the wreck. The debris was cleared up in a short time, and soon trains were running as usual.
