The legislature has made some important changes in the Indiana school book law. One is the trustees may purchase books for use in the schools as property of the schools, another that dealers will be allowed a per cent, for handling the books, but the solons could not be persuaded to permit supplementary work to be used in the schools. This is, however, a dead clause practically, as most schools, both city and country, use supplementary books. They cannot get along without them. The state series is not comprehensive enough.
The Indianapolis Journal cites the cases of Salmon P. Chase and Horace Greeley, who turned their -backs upon the party in whioh they became distinguished, and by which they were honored, to achieve the presidency, as parallel to that of Judge Gresham at the present time. Both of these great men, much greater than Gresham, died unhappy with~noneof their high hopes realized. The presidential bee has been buzzing for so long a time in Gresham’s hair that his head is turned and he is led by this ignis fatuus over into the enemy’s country where he is to get lost in the shuffle.
REFUSED TO AMEND AN UNJUST LAW.
The senate yesterday tabled the bill to amend the Grubbs libel in the interest of newspapers. The bill, which was introduced by Senator Magee, proposed to amend the present law so as to allow a pub fisher, in case of a libel suit, to submit in evidence any subsequent publication in the way of retraction, explanation or apology to disprove the allegation of malice. This just and reasonable amendment to the law was refused the amendatory bill being, on the motion of Senator McHugh, laid on the table. This action is a denial of justice to the press. The present law makes publishers liable in heavy damages for a libelous or defamatory publication which may have been foisted upon them by interested parties or have come in the way of regular correspondence, and been published without any malice whatever and supposing it to be true* The publisher is denied the opportunity of showing that he did not know the publication was libelous and that he had no malice. A man who is charged with passing counterfeit money is permitted to show that he has no guilty knowledge that it is counterfeit. Guilty knowledge is a necessary element of most crimes, yet under the Grubbs law publishers who are made defendants in libel suits are denied the opportunity to show that they had no guilty knowledge or malice. b nator McHugh, of Tippecanoe, led the opposition to the amendatory bill, and took occasion to denounce American newspapers and newspaper men in very strong language. Judging from the tone of his speech, we should say that with a little training in Russian methods he would make a very good censor of the press, of the kind he seems to think it needs.
He is doubtless smarting under the deserved lashings he has recently had on account of some of his Satanic legislative schemes, and took this method of getting even with the press. It was a mean and cowardly revenge, and the press will not forget him, nor those who voted with him against amending the Grubbs law. —Indianapolis Journal. We fully endorse the above sentiments of the Journal. There is no newspaper that is not liable at any time to be misled into publishing libelous matter, and not only without malice upon the part of the newspaper but actually from a desire to serve the best interests of society by denouncing wrong
doing. The proposed amendment to the Grubbs libel law did not relieve newspapers from liability if they retracted and corrected the libellous mat ter, but on ly gave them alTopportunity to mitigate the damages by proving in court the fact that they had made such retraction and correction. It was no more than the commonest justice to have given them that right But the state senators refused this act of justice and we regret most keenly to be obliged to say that our own senator, Hon. W. W. Oilman’s, name was given among those who virtually declare that newspaper publishers are outside the pale of ordinary right and justice
Concerning Simplicity.
After to-day the cant of Democratic simplicity should cease. Ostentation has put on her grandest robes, her costliest diamonds, and has spoken in her coarsest voice in welcome of the Democratic President. The inauguration ceremonies have all the pomp, if not the dignity, of a British coronation. The questions arise: Who is doing all this? Who is paying 4ho bills? Why are certain persons doing this? Why are they paying the bills? The questions are irrepressible; circumstances force them to the front.
It certainly is not the President and the Vice President who are paying, not on ly for the most costly rooms in the most costly hotels of Washington, but also for new and costly furniture with which toTurnish them for official occupancy during the forty-eight hours that precede the inauguration, nor for this only, but also for special trains with cars into which the foot of the plain citizen never enters, cars hung with the choicest tapestries, and inlaid with the rarest woods, designed for use only by the multifold millionaires, who control great corporations; not for these only, but also for the rent of rooms, the services oL. bands, the meats and wines that are served as refreshments, and the hundred other incidental expenses of the inauguration ball. The aggregative cost of these is far beyond the purses of the President and Vice President. Who is doing these things? Who is paying the bills? The campaign of 1892 was waged by the Democrats in the names of economy and of retrenchment and of opposition to the encroachments of the power of corporations. It is true that the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, though born in humble surroundings, had made his bed with the rich during many years. His associates were rich men, his business was derived from rich men, he had been made comparatively rich by use of the advice and opportunities given to him by very rich men. Never had he done or said anything that showed sympathy with the conditions of labor, his private life had not been marked by that simplicity which characterized the daily existence of Lincoln, of Garfield, of Hayes, of Harrison, prior to their elevation to the Presidency. If it had been—as perhaps it was —a matter of special anxiety to the managers of the Democratic party to nominate a man peculiarly acceptable to the millionaires of Wall street, a better selection than that of Mr. Cleveland could not have been made.
And, now that his nomination has culminated in his election, his inauguration is celebrated with a pomp and cost that would have been disgustingly profligate to the eyes of Jefferson or Jackson, and that certainly would have been incongruous with the negligent grandeur of the character of Lincoln. Who is doing this? Who is paying for it? Something, of course, je being paid by the office-hpxflers, but the small contributions of this small fry of and clerks, and postmasters are inadequate to the cost onto-day’s ceremonies. The “hated railway mo-
nopolies” and the . “oppressive millionaires” have lent their most gorgeous private cars, and have drawn large checks on their bankers. It is not the people who earn a few hundreds, or yet a few thousands, a year that are “doing this,” or paying for having it done. Is it not time that both parties should work toward a reform in the vulgar extravagance of inauguration ceremonies? It would be ridiculous to attempt a return to the very primitive simplicity of Jefferson’s or of Jackson’s inauguration, but a simple procession of the great officers of state and of a few military companies as escorts to the outgoing and incoming Presidents might be sufficient. Surely the spectacle of two elderly gentlemen, one of whom is about to be, and one of whom is about to cease to be, President of these United States in a carriage drawn by four black horses with white trappings, each horse led by white liveried footmen is more fitting to a circus than to a National ceremony. The inauguration of a President of the greatest Republic of the world should be more Like the cerulean arch, we see, Majestic in its own simplicity than like to the mummery of a Lord Mayor of London's show.— Inter Ocean.

Cholerine in PennsylvaniaSwickley, Penn: We had an epidemic of cholerine, as our physicians called it, in this place lately and I made a great hit with Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

Rheumatism Quickly Cured 1 Three days is a very short time in which to cure a very bad case of rheumatism; but it can be done, if the pro per treatment is adopter, as will be seen by the following from Jrmes Lambert, of New Brunswick, Ills.: “I was badly afflicted with rheumrtism in the hips and legs, when I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. It cureu me in three days. lam all right today, ahd would insist on ev ry on who is afflicted With that terrible disease to use Cbambe -lain’s Pa ; n Balm and get well at once.” 50 cent bottles for sale by Meyers’ the druggist.

The Best Plaster —Dampen a fiece of flannel with Chamberlain’s ain Balm and bind it on over the seat of pain. It is bette 1 * than any plaster.
