The United States now has four •very powerfol battleships complet©r nearly so; two others have been oontraeted for, and four more will be authorized by the present Congress. When these are all completed, with the 15 new torpedo bsata, also to be provided for, the country will have quite a powerfn nary. Though the number of battleships will still have to be considerably increased, and the torpedo boatß very much so, before our navy has reached such a standard of efficiency as onr circumstances require. But our greatest national need at present from a military point of view, are better defences for onr sea and lake ports.

AN INFLUX OF REPUBLICANS.

There is a curious movement of population reported from the northwestern part of the State, by which, during the last eighteen months, several hundred families have transferred from Illinois to the counties of Jasper, Newton, Benton* White and Potaski. The influx of population is said to be so considerable and the newcomers so largely R publican that in the next election two of the counties will probably be transferred (ran the Democratic to the Republican columns. This in itself would not be remarkable, as many counties ■re likely to undergo that change in ft* next election, hut the movement in popnlation is interesting. In the. absence of any known special cause H must be due to the fact th&t the counties offer superior attractions in the way of good farm lands at reasonable prices. They are among the largest counties in tlie State, Jasper being next to the largest and among j the lowest in point of population,

-with 570 square miles, had by the last census 11,177 inhabitants: Newton, 400 square miles and 8,803 inhabitants; Benton, 503 square miles ski 11,903 inhabitants; White, 500 square miles and 15,671 inhabitants: Pillarin', 430 square miles and 11,233 inhabitants. The five counties together. lying adjacent, have an aggregate area of 2,403 square miles, and an aggregate population of 58, 734. This is bat little more than one third of the population of Marion cownty, which has an area of 400 square miles. The State of Rhode Jriand, with an area of 1,085 square writes, lam than one-half that of the

It* counties named, has a population of 949,606. It is plain, therefoie, that these counties are sparse)/ populated. As they offer first claw agricultural attractions, it is somewhat remarkable that their fine prairie lands sheald have remained for so long a time so thinly populated. There is room there for a great many Republicans, and they will be weioome to the State no matter where they come from. Indiana has sent a great many people to other States, and is entitled to some reciprocity.—lndianapolis Journal.

George Meadows Finds His Daughter.

Ills., but a native of Jasper Co., a l formerly living in Hanging Grove and Milroy Tps., has lately been reunited with a daughter who had been lost to him for many years. The circumstances as related by Mr. Meadows n a letter the Morocco Courier, are as follows:

About sixteen years ago when I lost my wife, I left my little daughter, between four and five years of age, with family in Gilman, Illinois, while I went East, and when I returned to claim her nearly a year later the family could not be found. I employed skillful men to search for her and advertised in the papers, bnt failed to find any trace of her and as the years rolled on I almost lost ail hope of ever seeing her again. But about six weeks ago I received a letter from a gentleman in Thawville, Ills., who bad been employed in the search, informing me that a young lady answering the description and who said her name was Jennie Me dows, although she went by the name of Jennie Kiesler, was living with a Mr. Kiester, of Piper City. I went immediately and found it was indeed my long lost daughter, the gent.em&n who first took her having died in Nebraska she was transferred to the Kiester’s family. I brought her home with me to my overjoyed family,

He Don't See The Joke.

Sditor Republican. In the March 19th inane of “The Peoples Pitot,” the .following item appeared: “Although court baa been r in session but one week, it has already transacted some important business. J. Albert Overton will be taken to Michigan City (by the Cars) next Sunday.” —- And in the issue of March 26 an article entitled “An Humble Apology,” appeared in which more mistakes similar to that of publishing the first article, were printed, the editor having (seemingly at least) forgotten the true state of

affairs. Originally, there was nothing to suggest such a statment but the mind of the Editor, and the statement was evidently published with malicious intent. He knew perfectly well from conversation with me, that I visited my physician at LaFayette, every Snnday. I did not tell him that I was going to Michigag Cy. nor give him permission to say that I was going, or would be taken. On the contrary, as he has since affirmed in the presence of witnesses, I told him that he mast refrain from using my name in his paper in the future, sb it was getting monotonous.

This was the very morning on which he says I told him he “might say that I would be taken to Mich. City next Sunday.’’ I deny having used his paper, for any such purpose, as he,asserts. I have given him items when he asked for them, bnt I have endeavored to give him good wholesome food for his paper, as I was well aware that it was sadly in need of improvement * The talk and action of the Editor since the two articles Were published, go far to prove that it was for mors than a mere joke, and was published through a feeling other than good-will.

Very Truly,

J. Albert Overton.
