THE REPUBLICAN Thursday, Oct 24th, 1895. IfISDXO ■VERY THURSDAY BY GEO. 33. MABSHkxZI Publish kk and Pbopbiktob. OFFICE In Republican building, on Owner of Washington and Wceton streets^ TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. One Year Six Months 76 Three Mouths 60 Official Paper of Jasper County.

The New Albany Public Press, a Democratic paper speaks of Governor Ma]thews as “our counterfeit governor” and “miserable demagogue.” It says: *‘Poor old Indiana is again to present the humiliating spectacle of appearing before the national convention with head erid pretentions for the presidency and tail end expectations for the vice presidency. Matthews is out classed for either place and will get neither. If by hook or crook, by trickery and' trades with designing politicians, he should be nominated for eipiefplace, he wopld be the worst/oeaten candidate that .ever appeared before the people. Matthew’s political career is closed.” Some weeks ago the Scientific published a picture of the evident father of all potatoes. A man was represented as holding it on his shoulder, and it was nearly as large as a sack of oats, and was alleged to have the enormous weight of 87 pounds. It was grown in Colorado, of course. The sequel of this potato story is given in a brief paragraph in last week’s Scieutific American, in which it is stated that the'potato was a gross fraud, a contrivance of the photographer. The Scientific Ameri. can closes the paragraph with the remark that "an artist who lends himself to such methods of deception may be ranked as a thoroughbred knave, to be shunned by everybody.” The American should make more liberal allowance for the peculiar humor of the “Wild and Woolly West,” and not take the potato fake quite so seriously. The Indianapolis News in editorial comment on the.assertion frequently heard that the Nicholson law is responsible for the defeat of the republican city ticket in Indianapolis, remarks: 1 ’ We caution our republican friends not to work the Nicholson law ‘explanation’ racket too hard. The Nicholson. law was a non-partisan measure, passed by a republican legislature modified by democratic amendments, and signed by a democratic governor. Both parties are, therefore, responsible Jfor it. It represents the judgment of the law and order element in both parties. Moreover, it makes no practical change in the esseutial features of the liquor law previously in existence. It simply renders enforcement of the law easier. The returns show that republicans staid away from the [oils in largest numbers in the first, second and third wards. These are just the where the Nicholson law would be likeliest to arouse least opposition It is to be borne in mind, too, that in the campaign the law itself was not made jtoJssue by either party, as would be very natural, seeing that both parties had a hand in its making.

Trustees Wrongfully Held Over.

Monticello Herald. According to a late decision of the Supreme Court the township trustees elected last November were entitled to take their offices immediately after the electionThe decision is based upon the | fact that trustees elected in 1890 were elected f->r a term of four years, and this term expiring in August, 1894, left the office vacant. The vacancy was only filled by the provision that, the incumbent of the office shall hold until his successor is elected and qualified, and this having been done last Novem*' ber their lawful teuure of the office was then at an end. It is evi-

dent from this that the Democratic county superintendents now in office owe their tenure to the delay of the decision, and irfcotmties where tbey weje-elected lffi Democratic’trusteeß last J une, they have no legal claim to the office, as they were eleeted by men who were lint legally authorized to elect. When the Republican trustees were about to elect superintendents last month the Supreme Court hastened its session to announce a decision which would save them this trouble. What a pity they were not equally considerate last June, yvhen the decision just rendered, if announced then. wouldLavtr relieved a ntnrU ber of Democratic trustees of the same trouble and the cares of office at the same time.

THE CLEVELAND DEBT.

The friends of President Cleveland ignore the fact that his is the second administration in fifty syears to increase the public debt a time of peace, and the Indianapolis Journal in commenting on this state of facts says that “when one of them does mention it, he attributes it to the policy of the Harrison administration. This will not do. Under the Harrison administration, prior to the election of November, 1892, the rev enues of the Treasury exceeded itsexpenditures month by month. The revenues did not begin to fall off until the shadow of the (-leveland fsbe trade policy cast its uncertainty over the country, causing paralysis to fall upon every industry three or four months, later. The monthly deficit began to appear and has appeared every month since May, 1893, except two. And what has been the result of the deficit? An increase of the debt of'the United States by more than $300,000,000. Two issues of bonds for $50,000,000 each bearing 5 per cent, interest, must run ten years,

which means sloo,ooo,OftO principal and $50,000,000 of interest. The loan of $02,315,000, bearing: interest at the rate of 4 per cent, for thirty years, calls for, $74,778,480 of interest. To this must be added the deficiency since June 30th of over $ 13,000,000. Adding all these loans, interest and deficiency together and the totfel is over $305,000,000. This $305,000,000 represents the real increase of the debt and liabilities g'owing out of the increase since Mr. Cleveland became President. There is no reason to believe that the debt-increasing limit of Mr. Cleveland’s administration has been reached. The present tariff law cannot furnish sufficient revenue to meet the curent expenditures of the Government, in spite of the fact that it takes $40,000,000 a year out of the pockets of the people as a tax on sugar. There is tyut one source of consolation in connection with this matter, and that is that if the Cleveland- Wilson tariff bill had become a law as it passed the House the deficit would have been many millions greater and the liability incurred to pay current expenses would b 3 $50,000,000 larger than it is. 'And yet Senator Brice declares that the President is the greater statesman in his party!” Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is so pleasant to take and withal so effective in results that when once tried nothing ever again takes its place.

The Lafayette Courier, noting the fact that the state printing board is having its usual trouble about letting the contract for the state printing; and the further fact that the present system is a cause of constant loss, and opens the way for frauds and extravagances, suggests that a state printing office organized, with a view to economy. Thesuggestion is an excellent one and ought to be put in practice. Aud while the state printiug is thus being arranged for, why not provide that the same establishment should also supply the counties with their necessary blanks, records, &. Let such an establishment be properly organized and put under competent non-partisan management and compel the counties to procure their blanks and stationery of it,l and it would probably be a safe estimate to say that half the money now paid by counties for blanks and stationery could be saved.
