The prospects now are that the election in Ohio will be about as much of a Republican land-slide, as was that at Indianapolis, last week. Even Harper's Weekly is at last constrained to practically admit that President Cleveland is knowingly carrying out his contract, in appointing Van Alen as minister to Italy, in reward for the $50,000 he contributed to the Democratic campaign fund. Gov. McKinley struck the keynote in his last speech, when he said: “It is the fear of legislation apprehended, rather than what has already been done, that is striking down industries and throwing men out of employment.” The Democratic party is a standing menace to national prosperity.

These closing days of the world’s fair are attracting enormous crowds. It is literally a “cold day” now when the attendance falls below 200,000. The total attendance is now considerably above 18,000,000 and if the weather remains favorable during the next ten days, the figures will considerably exceed the 20,000,000 mark, by the time the end is reached. J- ■ •: t = Green Smith, who by force prevented Lieutenant Governor Robinson from taking his seat as presiding officer as the State Senate, has paid Mr. Robertson SSOO damages in settlement of the suit for the salary Smith illegally drew, and has thus admitted that his action was fraudulent and revolutionary. Mr. Robertson, it will be . remembered, was elected Lieutenant Governor in 1886, but was not allowed to take his seat, by the rebels in the State Senate.

Democrats are beginning to get their eyes opened to the president’s true character. A writer in the South Bend Times says: “President Cleveland is dictating the repeal of the Sherman law. That the word ‘dictating’ is used advisedly see his message to the special session of Congress, and notice the tone and utterances, in and out of Congress, of those gentlemen who are close to the president, and members of the administration party in Congress, besides the daily telegraphic declarations of the political newsgatherers at the capital. In plain English the president has imbibed the conclusion that he can run the legislative branch of the government, in addition to the one that he is entitled by law to administer. If it is right for the president to dictate to the second branch and thus control it, why is it not right for him to take another - step and lay his hand also on the judiciary ?■ The road he would thus travel leadw to monarchy.”

Babcock and Job Banes, who Were on the regular panel, but were excused, and Mr. Meyers takes the place of Thomas Eldridge. Mr. Robinson is foreman. Uncle Charley Platt is grand jury bailiff.

The divorce case of Sarah A. Ritchey vs. Wilmot H. Ritchey was tried Tuesday afternoon. The defendant made no appearance, and plaintiff was granted her divorce, the custody of their three year old child, and alimony of SIOOO payable in ten annual installments. They were married in 1886. The charge was cruel and inhuman treatment, but in absence of any opposition upon the part of the defendant, the details of the cruelty were not exhaustively enquired into. It was in evidence, however, that the husband had accused his wife of infidelity, and on one occasion when she had been fishing with her sister, Mrs. Iliff, Mr. Ritchey asked the plaintiff if she “bad got through spreeing around.” A question which the witness, Mrs. Iliff, would have answered “by a dish at his head. ’ ’ The parties have virtually been separated since last Februruary.

A New Trial for Plummer.

On Wednesday of last week the Supreme Court handed down a decision giving Jackson Plummer a new trial. He is the man who shot Marshal Dorn, of Kentland, a year or two ago, and was afterwards confined in the eounty jail of Rensselaer for a long 'time. He was tried, by change of venue, in Benton county, and given a long term in the penitentiary. The decision is about equivalent to a release for Plummer, as it will be nearly impossible to* again convict him under the law, as the decision lays it down. Besides its local interest from the previous knowledge our people have of the case, the decision possesses great general interest, as defining the powers and duties of peace officers, and the right of self defense. The following is the text of the decision: “(1) A peace officer, such as town marshal, is not authorized to arrest for misdemeanors without a warrant, unless the offense is committed in his presence or sight (2) Even where making an arrest for a misdemeanor committed in his presence or sight, if such officer is not resisted and uses more force than necessary he is a trespasser from the beginning, and may be lawfully resisted. (3) The law of self-defense applies as well to an officer attempting to make an arrest who abuses his authority and transcends the bounds thereof by the use of unnecessary force and violence, as it does to a private individual who uses such force and violence. So, where one has appeared on the streets of a town with a revolver in his hand which he threatens to use, and afterwards starts home with it in his hand, and the marshal follows him, and without informing him that he intends to arrest him, merely calls on him to put up his revolver, and then, upon his refusal, slips up behind him and strikes him with a mace and then shoots at him, the force used by such marshal is unlawful and may be resisted by such person to the taking of the life of his assailant. (4) A defendant is not required to prove defenses of self-defense and insanity beyond a reasonable doubt.
