James Murd«ck will retire from the Wnrdonl 1 lip of th e Michigan City prison March Ist and J. W French, editor of ibe Lafayette " Journal, has been chosen by the directors to succeed him. A Farmers’ Alliance organized and conducted strictly on the principles indicated in the article copied in The Republican this week from August Post, secretary Of the National Alliance, has every prospect of being a great benefit, not only to the farmers themselves but to the masses of the people generally. It also has the reasonable prospect before it of permanency. On the other baud, an Alliance organized on professed similar principles and as soon as organized converted into a democratic political machine, can neither accomplish aDy real good for anybody nor have any hone of permanency. Indiana 4s as near Chicago as in Illinois itself, and even nearer in a commercial sense, and there ought to be no two opinions about the necessity of oar state making a creditable exhibition at the world’s fair. The fair commissioners for the state have issued an address to the Governor and General Assembly setting out the reasons for a good display in a logical and most convincing tnauner. They ask that the Legislature appropriate at least 8100,000 at its approaching session, to be used for the purpose mentioned, cud the sutn is surely Wane fob large, considering the advantages cud satisfaction that will accrue to the people of the state, through an adequate representation at the greet fair.

How does it come that all the pretended “IndependeL-.” papers, such ag the Chicago News and its Indianapolis namesake, are really | democratic in ail essential particulars, and get in p.ll their effective political work for the Democratic party ? This is the case, not only with the two papers mentioned bat with'sll similar papers all over the country. Tlie solution of jthis problem is perhaps pot far to seek. In the first place it should be remembered that the political paper which sets itself up to be ‘•'lndependent” thereby gives prima facia evidence that it is in the market and for sale to the highest bidder. The man or the paper who have not moral rectitude enough to stand up for the pir litical principles they believe to be right simply because they do believe them to be right, neither have rectitude enough not to sell their influence for money or other valuable consideration. Keeping this fact ip view, namely that the pretense of independence is only * polite way of advertising themselves sot sale to the highest bidder, we have only to remember that other universal truth, that the Democratic party is in the

iakrket for that kind of com mod ity, to arrive at the solution of the rabid freed rade democracy of the pretended independent press. ; They are for sale and the Republicau party won’t buy their influence and the Derat emtic party will, and that's, the whole truth in a nutshell.

The London Financial Times of recent dr.te has the following: The measure which has all but I killed the pearl-button industry in Austria has suddenly resuscitated yiL in the United States. Some 1 years ago several thousand work- | men were employed in the twenty!one pearl-button manafactories erf : Newark, N. J. Congress lowered the duty on foreign buttons, and ' the result was that three-fourths 1 of the factories had to close, while | wages were reduced in flic?' that r remained open. Protected by an :increased duty, averaging- nearly \ 190 per cent, the American. - pearlbutton makers can now go to work again, and can afford to pay wages | rs from 815 to 825 a week to their ■ peratives Meanwhile many of i their Austrain rivals liave to faco i I’icmitermitive of either retiring fropi business or of shifting the scene of their operations to the I k ited h't ites. This Lbadba paper is honest enough to admit that piotection does increase American wageB —a fact which American ‘ free-traders persistently deny.

The 1 liter-Ocean mtely published a suggestive cnrloon which pretty well illustrates the two Farmers’ Alliance organizations, in regard to their political status. The National Alliance (the northern institution) was represented" by a stalwart and honest looking farmer, standing free and independent, while the other Alliance (the southern institution) was represented by a typical southerner, with spurs and riding whip, while a giant arm labeled “Demoeraoy” holds him securely by the scruff of the neck. As the two Alliance men shake hande they indulge in the following dialogue: Southi ltN Alliance MAN-There is no politics in our order, but you will certainly violate your oath if you support any such pronounced Republican as Ingalls. National Alliance Man —But I see you elected Gordon in Georgia and Pugh in Alabama, and report says you are going to re-elect Hampton, of South Carolina, and Vance, of North Carolina. S. A. M. — ; Well., that is different. They were Southern gentlemen with whom wo fought and we could not go back on them. But Ingalls was a “freedom shrieker'’ and a “nigger worshiper” which makes a great difference. N. A. M—L can’t see it that way. We fought with Ingalls and if ray oath restrains me from voting for Ingalls, it seems to me that yours ought to restrain you from votiag for Gordon, Pugh, Hampton, aikl Vance. I’ll think it over. .. atcr Hampton the Southern Alliance did not follow the precedent 1 stallished in the cases of Goron and Pugh, detracts but little horn the force of the northern man’s remarks, in the above conversation, for Mt. Irby, the man elected in place of Hampton, is, by all accounts a much more thoroughly Bourbon Democrat that Mr. Hampton ever was.

Constitutional Amendments.

The coming legislature wiß be called upon to endorse the constitutional amendments proposed by the last legislature, and wh sn they are endorsed by the legislature they will be submitted -to the-peo-ple in the spring election of 1894 That the readers of the Republican may know what the proposed amendents are we here reproduce them and our represenative and Senator will do well to give them their careful consideration: The first amendment lengthens the term of all county officers to four years and makes the officers ineligible for the second consecutive term, except county surveyors. The second defines the residence and qualification of voters &Dd provides for registration. The third provides for the election of a clerk of the supreme court and limits his term to four years. * The fourth provides for the election of state officers for four

year’s terras and no longer. The fifth provides for the election of the state superintendent of public instruction for four years and no longer. • The sixth provides for increase of supreme judges and extends t-heir toime to eight years.- —It-also provides for their election at different times so there will never be a complete change in the court. The seventh provides for the organization of the militia of la-' state. ----- r_-- : . -- The eigh sh provides £0? indefinite sessions of ..the legislature and an increase in the legislative salaries. - The ninth grants permission for all men of good moral character t > practice law..
