Indiana is one of only four northern States that now have Democratic governors the other three being California, Nebraska and Illinois; Successors,to all will be chosen in 1896, and it is entirely safe to predict that thereafter every State outside of the old south will have a Republican chief executive. The editor of the Colombia City Post, who is a Democrat from away back says he was “in hopes that free wool would be given a through trial, so that the people might see the effects on the price of such goods as well as on the woolen factories and mills of the country.” The man who has not had enongh experience with the free-trade principles presented by the Demociatic congress and th? Cleveland administration is'certainly very hard to please. The poverty it has crated ought to satisfy anybody without demanding a season of actual starvation. The sheep industry has been killed, the farmers have lost millions of dollars and the American factories have been closed. What more do yon want as an object lesson? A nation of patipers? —Rochester Republican. * Qln the New York Court of Ap--peals, the highest court in the state and one that ranks among attorneys as well up to the United States supreme court, has recently delivered a very sensible opinion on a contempt of court case.

Congressman Hardy of this State is securing data for the purpose of introducing a bill in the i lower House of Congress within a short time to make eligible to the pension list those Indiana soldiers called out during the war, but who were never formally mustered into the United States army. Among these are the men called out at time of the Morgan raid and on similar duty. The bill if ■passed will affect nearly 1,000 veterans living in this State. It is a well known fact that the town-ship trustees are elected almost a year before they take possession of the office and assume the duties. The supreme court J[ield that inasmuch as the trustees did not assume possession of their offices until nine months after their terms began that much had virtually been deducted from their terms. The trustees, at their recent large assembly in Indianapolis, were inclined to look upon this view of the case as a hardship, and a resolution was introduced asking the legislature at its next session to pass an act that will give the trustees the benefit of their full terms. There was a long discussions over the policy of passing the resolution. Once or twice it came nearly being tabled, but the sentiment in favor of it finally prevailed and it was adopted. ____________ An Illinois preacher in a harangue against agitation # of war sentiment said: “Support:the President when he is right; when he is wrong impeach him ” Impeach ment would not be too severe a treatment of President Cleveland! if he authorizes another issue of jxmds OH terms similar to those for the issue of bonds last That issue of bonds netted the bend syndicate millons of profit which should havebeed saved to tircUfovernnieUt ThaT'lssue' as tJje two former opposed by the people, bnt in the face of the protests of nil classes and against the advice of friends, Cleveland insisted upon paying

out the princely sum to his Wall street friends. A bond issue of this kind is not wanted any more than it was then, and Cleveland knows it. It is not needed any more than it was then, and Cleveland knows it. But something must be done to raise money, and Cleveland will not listen to the voice of his own party advisers. He will not consult the financiers outside of the little coterie who see an opportunity to profit by an issue of bonds. With Congress in session the President really has no right to sanction a bond issue. He has the power, it is true, but it is a power that no man should attempt to exercise at such a time. Congress is now engaged is making legislation in response to the President’s appeal for relief. Why then should he insult Congress by authorizing an issue ot bonds? It is purely a Clevelandism. The country needs to be rescued from Cleveland. —Logansport Journal. General Jasper Packard, of the New Albany Tribune,looking backward over a long career as « newspaper man takes a very lugubrious of the newspaper businesa In fact, we think ; the General considerably overestimates the unpleasant or unfavorable features of newspaper life, as experienced by the majority of those engaged in it. Still there is a great deal of truth in what he says, as here given: ‘ Newspaper men are' not morbid or especially dissatisfied with their lot, but it may safely be said that nine tenths of therp outside of the large cities, if they would begin life over again, would avoid a printing office as they would a pestilence. They sefe and come in contact with more petty meanness than any body else; they are swindled bftener, ten jto one, than any body else; they are plucked oftener, even by well-meaning people, than any body else; even those who pray, often times prey -upon the--newspaper man. ' Ap-' precfation for him, as compared with what he does in and for a community, is reduced usually to the vanishing point, aibd accompanies his income into a limbo of nothingness.

In addition to his capability as a writer, when he posseeses it, he must be a careful, painstaking, and judicious business man, and yet few people ever think of him in that light at all. He is expected to do with his paper a thousand things, that as a business man he knows would be fatal, and when he mildly declines, people want to know what a newspaper is for. They never suspect that it has a business end, which, if n&glected, will bring collapse.

On the Winter Protection of Live Stock.

Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station. Newspaper Bui. letin No, 18, Jan. 4,1896. A common winter sight, is a herd of cattle exposed to severest kind of weather, browsing in corn fields or standing humped up in chilling winds. Food is fuel to the animal body. It requires more fuel to keep up steam in a boiler, when the weather is cold, than it does when it is mild. In the same Planner, other things being equal, it requires more food to sustain an animal freely exposed to the chilling blasts of winter, than it does for one given protection. In experiments conducted at the Indiana Agricultural Fxperiment Station, milch cows exposed to all sorts of weather in winter but provided with nignt shelter,, made a very unfavorable showing as compared with those given the shelter of the stable, excepting for a brief airing when the weather was suitable. The exposed cows ate the most food, lost slightly in weight and also in milk yield. The sheltered ones gained in weight, and otherwise made a better sHowiag than the exposed lots. At the Kansas Experiment Station, hogs kept ip conditions of winter exposure did not produce pork so economically as those given reasonable shelter, although the same kind of food was fed to each lot. In reporting the feeding experiments with steers at the game station, Prof Georgeson says that steers to give the tyest returns when being fed for beef should be provided with shelter. Warm, low, open sheds in the feed lot give comfortable shelter to steers. While live stock should be pro-

tected from the inclemency of the weather, it is important that-the stable should' be well ventilated and not too warm. Disease propagates easiest where the air isstagnant and impure, hence special efforts should be made to keep the stable air pure. Without doubt, tuberculosis is more prevalent among cattle closely confined in stables where the ventilation is bad, than it is where the air is good. Live stock should certainly be allowed outdoor exercise when the weather is mild and comfortable, but if it snows or rains and the air is chilling, the animalsshould be given stable protection. It is also important that the stable should not be too warm in winter. A temperature of 40 degrees is a very satisfactory one. When it is as high as 60 degrees in the barn, stock turned from this into a freezing atmosphere to water, are very apt to be severely chilled and take cold. When the stable is at 40 degrees animals are not so easily chilled' when turned from the stable. Every stable shonld have a thermometer to* guide one in keeping the temperature of the room as uniform as possible. *

*. » ' ■ Director. The Indianapolis Journal calls attention to the fact that in furnishing information to congressmen the departments at Washington recognize only the old congressional apportionment in this State the present district, not having been brought to their notice officially yet. Persons writing to congressmen for favors therefore should address the congressman for whom they voted at the last election, though some other member may live in their present district.
