THE INDIANA STATE JOURNAL. We call the attention of the patrona of THE JOURNAL to the great improvement made in THE WEEKLY INDIANA STATE JOURNAL by the increase in the size of the type, and alao the improvement in the character and variety of reading matter. W« also oall particular attention to the fact that the price of THE WEEKLY INDIANA STATE JOURNAL has been reduoed, and is as follows for the coming year: In clubs of 25, $1 per vear for each subscriber. For single subscriptions. $1 25. For THE JOURNAL and either the Life of O. P. Morton or the Journal Map of the United States, as may be preferred, $1 50. The advantages of THE WEEKLY INDIANA STATE JOURNAL to an Indiana man are briefly these: First—lt contains a condensation of the news published in six issues of T HE DAILY JOURNAL, having special reference to Indiana affairs. Second—lt contains a fuller report of the Legislative proceedings of the State than is contained in any other paper. Third—Considering its editorial ana general reading matter, embracing an intelligent discussion of the questions in which ludiana men are interested, it is the best paper for the money that can be procured. Fourth—lt contains more farm and household intelligence, with general news on all current events, than any paper distributed in the State. „ No Indiana Republican can afford to be without THE JOURNAL. If b^i ß not a regular subscriber to the Daily he should subscribe for the Weekly. We have now made snch a reduction in tbe price as to leuvemo excuse for any Republican in failing to keep himself fully posted on the current news and political events of- the day. If any one of the twenty thousand persons who have subscribed and paid for THE WEEKLY JOURNAL in the past eighteen months will come forward and say he is dissatisfied, and that the paper is not worth all and more thau it cost him, we will give him the paper one year for nothing. Specimen copies sent free on request, and the paper furnished for three months to any one who wants it on trial for 25 cents.

Not a word from Beck in this absorbing crisis. What a noble chin is here unhinged I Calling it by some other name won’t make it any less of a backdown, sweet Democrats. Fernando Wood doesn’t think that he ought to tackle the tariff again. No more does anybody else. Senator Eaton, of Connecticut, is as ferocious with his mouth as a menagerie lion on an illuminated poster. It is old news everywhere except in Washington that public sentiment is overwhelmingly on the side of the Republicans in this scrimmage. The Democrats in Cougress have now spent a week in trying to tind the easiest way out. Prudent people would have thought this thing over before they went in. Having failed to bulldoze the President by raising a hullabaloo in his front yurd, the red-shirted Democracy now steals around under the back windows and tries it on there. A judicious Republican programme seems to be to keep np a vigorous prodding of the Democrats about backing down, for that is a sure stimulus for a fresh crop of retroactive blunders. What troubles the Democrats most in the President’s message is its “ insolent tone.” Inhere isn’t anything of the kind in it, but if there were what business have a lot of rowdies, who have been calling the President a “ fraud,” to complain of it f If the Democrats knew that by conciliating the negroes in the South and defending their right to vote they would stand some chanoe of carrying New-York, Ohio and Pennsylvania next year, they might be able to do a good deal of damage.
