President Cleveland lately wrote a letter to a friend in Georgia, in which he turned loose the flood of gush over his married life, stating, among other things, that it had been “one grand sweet song,” No doubt the President’s married life has been reasonably happy, aud everybody is glad of it, but that kind of gushing in public about it is simply “playing to the galleries” and about as unbecoming to a man in the position of a President as anything can well be. The Nicholson law has produced many odd things in the State. Many saloon keepers are inclined to look upon its enforcement somewhat facetiously, and use it as a means for amusement, although it is a serious enough matter with them. A sign that is on the mirror in a Martinsville saloon is probably true, but it is also an admission of previous violations of the law, which most men are loath to make. It is done in soap on the large bar mirror and reads: : ‘owing to' : WE DO NOT SELL ANY LIQUOR : ON SUNDAY— : : AND DAMN LITTLE ANY OTHER : : TIME. : Duringdeven months of the fiscal year articles were brougnt to this country free of duty to the value of $332,486,117 and the increase in value of imports amounted to $70,000,000. Among the articles the importation of which was stimulated by the new tariff are manufactured cotton from $2,655,087 to $4,529,766, manufactures of cot ton from $21,244,491 to $31,443,561; ;breadstuffs from $2,069;644 to $2,777,478; - animals from $1,262,680 to $1,890; barely from 779,069 bushels to 2,111,670 bushels. All the articles are produced in America. While the imports have largely increased the experts under the new tariff law decreased $74,000,000 during eleven months.

How the Bridge Companies Are Working.

Indianapolis Journal, There is reason to believe that the people of Indiana are being systematically robbed by a ring composed of bridge companies, of which there are several operating in the State. The plan of operation involves the division of the State into sections, one of which is apportioned to each company, with the understanding that it is to have all the contracts for bridge building in the county within that section. An appearance of competition is made by the other companies filing bids which are purposely and knowingly higher than those of the favored company, which are still high enough to afford a big profit. By thus dividing the field and practically stifling competition each company gets a good slice of business at its own prices. No doubt in some cases County Commissioners are in the deal, but it can be made successful even without their cooperation. It is really a trust to prevent competition, to keep up the cost of bridge building and to fleece the people. If a farmer spends more money than he makes year after year the sheriff gets him. If a nation buys more than it sells year after year it gets poor just like an individual. And in the end bankrnntcv comes. During the twenty-eight years from 1866 tn 1893 i. inclusive, the totalamount of government revenue received in excess of the government expenditures was $1,815,683,219. This was an average surplus of $64,815,830 during each and every year of protection. During the following two years of threat of free trade the aggregate deficiency of the democratic administration, or the excess of

exxenditure over revenue, was $112,628,310, or at the rate of $56,314,155 a year. Protection gave an average surplus of revenue of nearly $65,000,000 during each one of the twentyeight years in succession. Free trade gave a deficiency of $56,314,155 a year. Such are the historic facts of the treasury department. As the New York Times says, “this is unquestionably a good showing”—for protection.

To The Comrades Of The 87th Indiana Volunteers.

It has become part of the history of the country that no troops did harder or more effective fighting at the battle of Chickamauga on September 19th and 20th, 1863, than Colonel Vanderveer’s brigade, composed of the 87 th Indiana, 9th Mid 35th Ohio and 2nd Minnesota. __ The battle field of Chicakamauga is to be dedicated as a National Park on September 19th and 20th, 1895: The occasion will be one of great interest. Thousands of veterans, both of the Federal and Confederate armies, who participated in that bloody battle will be present. The places occupied by every brigade and regiment during the battle have been definitely ascertained and marked. Members of the 9th and 35th Ohio and 2nd Minnesota are arranging to be present in large numbers. It is their desire to have a brigade reunion at the time of the dedication. Letters from Gen er al Boy n ton, who commanded the 35th Ohio, and others, have been received, earnestly requesting the 87th to participate in the rsunion. It will certainly be a grand thing to go with our old comrades over the battle field where we fought thirty-two years ago. The monuments to the several Indiana regiments which fought in that battle, will, it is believed, be completed by that time. Railroads will no doubt furnish transportation at the rate of one cent a mile each way. Accomodations in private houses can be secured for about $2.00 per day, with two or more in a room, according to the size of the apartment. Quarters in private houses for gentlemen and their wives at moderate prices if engaged now. Parties of gentlemen who do not care to occupy berths in the camps and barracks can be accommodated with new beds and bedding, located in alean, well ventilated rooms, including toilet conveniences, for eight days, from September 15th to 22nd, 1895, by sending (before August 15th,) five dollars to Capt. Oharles. F. Muller, Chairman Camp Committee, Chattanooga, Tenu.

We earnestly hope that the 87th will be well represented at the dedication and in the brigade reunion. Every member of the regiment is most cordially invited to be present. Comrades of the 87th are requested to meet at Snodgrass Hill at 9:30 o’clock a. m. September 19th. We request that those who will attend send their names to Capt. J. A. Burnham, Rensselaer, Ind., by August 15th. The Committee suggests that comrades write to Capt Charles F. Muller, Chattanooga, Tenn., and make such arrangements as they desire with respect to accommodations. Committee. July 11, 1895.

The Man on the Corner Don’t Like The Cities.

L'elphi Journal. I have often been asked why I prefer to live in a town the size of Delphi. There are a great many reasons. I want to live a long while and statistics prove that the average life is longer in a small town than in a large one. City business life forces the physical machinery too fast The wheels have to make too many revolutions every minute to suit me. It is all rush and hustle. Business men in cities don’t take time to eat, or if they take a little time to eat they don’t give their meals a chance to settle and get on good terms with the stomach. There are ten dyspeptics in the city to one in the country. Life is too short to.go through it at the rate of sixty miles an hour, week day and Sunday, twelve months in the year. And then tlftre is something unsatisfactory in being one out of a herd of a hundred thousand, or a million. There is too much danger of getting lest. When I go to Chicago and get on one of those packed cars, or push along on one of those crowded streets, I always wish I was back

home, away from the surging, pushing, grabbing, grasping herd. And another thieg: I don’t like the infernal dust and coal soot About the first thing that greets me after I get inside the corporation of a large city Is a flake of soot. It slides down my nose and lands in one of my eyes. And then it is- gouge and rub, wink and blink. And the dust gets in my nose and cinders lodge in my ears. I presume a fellow could get this. lam told such is the case. I never want to get used to it It indicates an unnatural condition that I don’t yearn for. I want the pure air in mine, free from smoke, cinders and soot. Besides there is too much misery and wretchedness in cities and you are continually running up agalnst ii on every corneresS can stand an occasion al beggar, crippled or blind, but I don’t relish them on every cross street. In cities deformities and misfortune are made merchandise of too freely to su it me. Scotes of blind persons sitting on street corners playing organs and mutely asking alms, little girls sitting and begging, men and boys without arms and legs pleading for help—there is too much of it in cities to suit me. I’d prefer to live in the country where there is plenty to eat and where the heart does not become hardened by daily contact with misery and distress. It seems to me the argument is all in favor pf a small town, unless a man wants to go the pace that kills. I’d like to have some one point out the advantage Chicago editors have over the editors of the papers in such towns as Frankfort, Rochester, Logansport, Delphi, Peru. Rensselaer, Attica and others I might mention.
