The legislature of Indiana convened 'Thursday morning at ten o'clock with about all the members and every ofljce-seeker present. The work of organization was gone through with according to precedent and today the bodies will commence the active work among which will be the election of a k>V<AWO UUwUIUi. .A.AA I message as delivered Gov. Mount reviewed the needs of the state and made recommendations as to the duties of the law makers. He pre sents a powerful argument in favor of a general reform of county and township management. Good roads are touched in a favorable light as is the introduction of the qpience of agriculture in the schools. Lynching and trusts he treats as kindred subjects inasmuch as both break the laws. They receive equal condemnation. The whole message is loaded with wise, statesmanlike and humane suggestions, as might be expected from our eminently level headed and noble hearted governor, than whom no state now has a better, unless it is New York with famous Teddy Roosevelt. About a year or two ago one Sheldon Cronk, a not altogether admirable individual, talked a good deal of the persons he would have indicted at the next grand jury. Well, Sheldon went before that body, andon his own story, he was indicted himself and no one else. A similar circumstance has evidently occurred at the present term of court. The Rensselaer Democrat has long been talking of great things that would, happen when the grand jury got to grinding, but the Democrat editor appears to have been able to get no one but himself indicted.
