David W. Shields is the latest candidate for the post-office, so farreported. David’s special claim upon'the Democracy will no doubt be based upon the persevering manner in which he has worked the Farmers’ Alliance racket to get Republicans to vote the Peoples Party ticket; and the heavy editor ial work he has done in the People's Pilot In making his December settlement, last week, County Treasurer Hemphill was obliged to pay over to the state officers the sum of 85040.77, for state purposes exclusively. Last year at the December settlement the amount required to be paid ove r , for the same purposes was early $2405.84. The increase is $2574.93. or mow than 104 per cent. This more than doubling of the state taxes in this county is the result Solely of the workings of the new tax law, and no cuuniy or township officials were in any degiee responsible for it or able lo p.evm t it. The greater part of this increase falls on farms and lauds, owing to ihe greater increase in the assessments of that class of property.

The biggest humbug of the decade is the national Democratic platform. It caught more suckers and gudgeons than iis framers now know what to do with. AmODg-its prominent, promises is the repeal of the McKinley act, the enforcement of the civil service law, free trade, the free coinage of silver on a parity with gold, and that paper be held at a par, and then on top of these, promised state banks of issue. Old Grover knew very woii whut talking about when Be at that big plutocrat deem the promises we have made to the voters of our land the diffi-

The proposition to embody in u new Indiana road law a provision compelling every township to build at least four miles of permanent gravel or stone roud every year, would not, do at nil. j hem j are not more thau three or four i townships in Jasper County rich enough to stand such expense, for Any length of time, without

being bankrupted. In , Milroy township, for instance it would be a great burden to build a single mile of gravel road, each year. In several townships of this county< too, there is for graved rosds, such as the sandy regions bordering on tho Kankakee river* A much more‘feasible and equitable proposition would be to compel each county to build a certain number of miles of good road each year, say ten miles as the minimum amount, and let the county pay half the expense and the property owners most benefitted the other half.

A Gravel Road Bill.

representative Johnson, of Marion county, will introduce a biil before the legislature providin'! that the county commissioners shall have sole charge of road building and improvements, and the bill will provide for it. “All new gravel roads/’ he states, “should be built by contract, and the property owners BfSUg the route should be given the first chance at the work. Each county should build its own roads. One-half the cost should bo as.te£:sc?. cn the abutting property owners, and the other half should oe paid <mt of the general road fund of the county. The bill will 'Wrfttp no n° w officers”

The Real Purpose.

To cut. down the pension list and to reduce the wages of American labor are the real purposes, says the Inter Ocean, of, the free Fide party, which is made up of the solid south aud of the alien importers resident in New York. To reduce the pen&iun lid io a. condition precedent to what they call “tariff reform.” For without great reduction of the expenses of the government there can be no no great reduction of tariff revenues, which even now is less by nearly $60,000,000 a year than it was before the passage of the McKinley bill. The alien importers would just as soon have the expenditures for the judiciary, or for the army, or for the navy cut down; their purpose simply is the importation of European goods without duty, or at such low duties as will not prbfection to the products of well-paid American labor. Rut the southern free traders who furnish the majority of votes for their party, insist that the reduction shall be in the pension department, for from that department little or no money flows to the solid south. Consequently “down with the infamous pension system.”

Prison Legislation.

The Michigan City News says: Two-bills will be introduced during the coming session of the legislature that will be of considerable importance to the State prisons. One of these bills will provide for the establishment and muiutenauco of a ward in the central hospital fur ihe insane, iu which shall be confined the insane convicts from the peniientiaties. The bill will provide for an inquisition by a commission of the prison physician and two other physicians. If this commission declares the man iußane and a suitable subject to be sent to the hospital, the matter will be referred to the governor, who will have power to order the convict’s removal to the ward provided for such cases iu the central hospital. ! In the event that the convict is j cured of his insanity “before the \ time of the expiration of his sentence, he will be returned to prison to serve out the remainder cf

tm sentence. If he is cured after the expiration of his sentence he will be discharged. The bill, it is believed will effectually provide against the escape from due punishment of uuy prisoner who uiiuy feign insanity, and will so hedge around the pot,, sibilities of abuses that they will be out. of the question. Xhe other bid will Un.ko maximum imprisonment for murder twenty years; or, lu other i words, it will provide that if a man j is convicted of murder aud is sen* • I

entced to prison for life, the governor will be expected to release him on parole at the end of twenty years if his conduct as a prisoner has been good. If his conduct haedbeen bad, Ke-need-net be released, or after being released, lie does not obey the laws and become a peaceable citizen, he may be returned to the prison. Many believe this kind of a law would be a step in the direction of humanity which is greatly to be desired, also believe it would be a powerful reformatory influence iu the lives of men who had gone wrong.

NOT WITHSTANDING THE

Delphi Journal. The Lafayette Sunday Times isa Democratic newspaper and one of the Journal’s most valued exchanges. in the last issue of the paper the following appeared under the writings of “The Man About Town:” About teu o’clock last-might 1 made a visit to many of our mercantile houses, for the purpose of ascertaining what sort of a holiday ■business they had enjoyed. There was but one answer: “Splendid;” “way above our most sanguine expectations;” “a third larger than over before,” etc. The date the above applies tn v.s Saturday night, December 24, 1892, at ten o’clock. (1 McKinley bill hadbemi in operation since October, 1890. And the people of the country hs.3 jn«t declared that the country was goiog to the devil and that they wanted our present financial and tariff legislation revolutionized. Now the plain truth is that this holiday trade could not have been “splendid,” could not have exceeded “our most sanguine expectations,” could not have been “a third larger than ever before” if the condition of affairs were such as the Democratic papers declared during the recent campaigu. Observe that holiday business was “splendid,” that it “exceeded our most sanguine expectations,” that it was “a third larger than ever before” Notwithstanding The McKinley BUI.

VINDICATED BY THE RESULTS.

“ The most prosperous year ever known in business closes to-day” is the introductory sentence to the week’s review of the commercial agency of R. G. Dunn <fe Co. The review proceeds: “The volume of business is 10 per cent, larger than last year, and the largest ever known. T lie-exeesg-ofmerclTHn-diso exports has not been far from $70.000.000. while the imports have been the largest, and the aggregate of exports and imports has been the largest ever Known in any year.” This is not a campaign

declaration or that of a Republican official desirous of making a most favorable showing for the policy of Lis party, but that of a conservative financial agency to the business and industry of the country. Following the foregoing testimony to the unparalleled prosperity of the country the same im- i partial authority furnishes the fol- j lowing statistics showing that the J disasters of business have been less ] than for years:

The number of failures in the United States in the year 181)2, as reported by K. G. Dunn & Co., is 110,831, being a less number Xhau j m any year since 1888, aud slmwj iug a dilferenc.e in favor of the 1 present year, as compared with I81)i, of 2,029. The indebtedness of I he failures for the past year also shows a marked decrease, being $114,000,000 in 1892, as against $189,900,000 in 1891, and a nearly j similar amount in 1890. The largely augmented number of I

traders aud the enormous increase j iu transactions in the year render these figures very significant.! Only one in every 113 traders in J the United States succumbed in I 1892, as agaiust ouo in every ninety-three in 1891 aud one in ! every 102 iu 1890. The average j liabilities of the failures in the last y<.-n r wap 311,000, being the lowest j average reported since 1878. In tho history of our country i there has never been such a year * of general prosperity as the second j

ALL the Road Tax and ONE-HALF of all other taxes make the FIRST INSTALLMENT and must be paid on or before the THIRD Monday in April, 1893. ONE-HALF of all taxes, except Road, constitute the SECOND INSTALLMENT, aud must be paid on or before the FIRST Monday in November, 1893. Failnre to pay the First Installment when due makes both installments delinquent and attaches a penalty of ten per cent, to the full amount. Provisions of Law delating to Taxation “The owner of property on the first day of Apri|. of any year shall be liable for the taxes of that year. The purchaser on the first day of April shall be considered the owner on that day.” - Purchasers of PERSONAL Property us well- as Real Estate should remember that ‘TAXES FOLLOW THE PROPERTY when the taxor 'hereon remain unpaid. ‘COUNTY ORDERS in favor of persons owing delinquent taxes cannot be paid without settlement of the taxes.’ ‘lt is the duty of the TAX-PAYER to s+nte definitely on wlmt property he desires to pay taxes, in whose name assessed and in what township or town it was assessed. THE TREASURER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for the penalties and charges resulting from the tax-payer’s omission to so state.’ The Tax Duplicate for any year is made with reference to property on the first day of April of that year and remains forever unchanged a? to the showing of property, and in whose name assessed and tnvp' l . Transfers after the first day of April »f any year will never appear upon tho Duplicate of that year’s » Those who pay taxes on property in tr.mt, and whose taxes are complicated such na undivided estate-, etc., should pay early enough to avoid A he rush of the last few days, as it requires time to make the divisions and separate receipts.
