Thu grand l«>dge of Knights of Pyth-1 ins of Indiana convened at Indianapolis last Tuesday for its twentyseventh annual convention. "The price of leather has made a decided advance. This,of course, means higher prices for boots and shoes. The rise in leather is due to the advance in hides, which cannot be tanned and sold at a profit at. the price which they have been bringing. Dollar wheat, is predicted. It bids fair to reach that, point, judging from the present outlook of the crop in this country. But as the price will depend considerably upon the yield in com|»etitive foreign wheat countries the price cannot be very well foretold at the present lime. The Indiana Liquor League intends to contest, the Nicholson law, and is assessing saloon keepers throughout the state to raise a fund for that, purpose. It is said that about $75,000 is to be raised. The Liquor League is quite determin 'd and will no doubt make a hard light. But. the same may <ll so he said of the other side. “I yield to no man in the United States in the sincerity of my desire to have silver reinstated in its old office UWy, The evils which have or anywhere. | n fac^Bie\^aiHuirdly be exaggerated.”—E. Benjamin Andrews, President of Brown University. General Sehofi .|d, who is at the head of the U tiled States army, is being boouv'd lor the presidency by his democrat ic admirers. Tim general is a gallant soldier and able commander. But his little boom will hardly gather much force. Men schooled to military life, as a rule, do not show sr brilliant aptitude for politics nor statesmanship. General Schofield's friends should treat him more kindly and not seek to remove him from liis natural element. The Walked m INDEPENDENT says there are some terrific telegraph liars in Northern Indiana thou furnish news for the city dailies. Have you just found it out ? —Knox Republican. No; but. we believe the press should ! raise its voice against this contempt. ! ible nuisance, which is not only having . a detrimental influence on the news paper business in general, but also works positive injury to the localities where these lying correspondents tire situated. It. is the duty of the pi ess to put a stop to t his evil, if possible. Agitation may firing about the passage of a law that will have the desired effect. Contrary to the general supposition, many of the college professors are not gold monometalists but firmly believe in the efficacy of bimetalism. Among these is the learned Prof. Edward W. Bemis, of Chicago University, who Contributed a very able article to the inter Ocean of Monday upon this ab sorbing question. Professor Bemis believes that the only really honest money is bimetalism. In his article lie. puls this question', “is any money honest which is yearly appreciating in ils exchange power relative to the great, commodities of commerce?” Furthermore the professor maintains that, “the depression in European agriculture ami British manufactures is steadily coercing a return to the equil sible use of silver He does not think at necessary to wait for the. co-opera tion of Great Britain, but he does want this countr\ to wait, awhile before it jittempts Io plav a lone hand and see if Germany and Prance—and France really means the Latin Union—will md join us, and, if they should, free coinsige at. an agreed ratio would lie adopted.”

J. W. French, warden of the prison north, is contemplating the purchase . of the Frankfort Crescent, the paper edited by the late Hon. Eli W. Brown. Mr. French is tin old newspaper man and able writer. Hon. Richard Olney, at present at-torney-general of the United States, has been appointed successor to the kite Secretary Gresham. Mr. Olney is probably one of the ablest men in the democratic party and has been one of the president’s most trusted advisers throughout the present administration. The duties of the state department are said to be more to Mr. Olney’s liking than the attorney-generalship. Socials, parties, entertainments, etc., during extremely hot weather are not enjoyable and should therefore be provided for as sparingly as possible, says the South Bend Times. To arrange for the same always involves considerable effort and exert ion. No such entertainments are possible without.

I the expenditure of phys H-n! mid mental I forces. Worry in extremely hot weather is even more exhaustive than physical exertion. It may, therefore, well be suggested that, personal comfort, is best obtained in privacy-in cool, well-ventilated rooms, on lawns, under shade trees, etc. There is no reason why St. Joseph county's new court house should not. be built of the stone found so plentifully within its borders. H could save money, keep money at home, and aid in clearing the land of it. Let the farmers do some talking on this matter. —South Bend I'imes. That is the proper spirit Let St. Joseph county have the lion’s share In the benefits of this enterprise, if possible. Use St. Joseph county material and employ St. Joseph county labor as much as the circumstanc s will warrant. The County’s lax payers should be given the preference ery time in lieu of outside pari ms The bill to restore c dial punishment. in Michigan failod pass the legislature. The seulim it favoring capital punishment, ho . r, seems to be growing in that stat* nd it is predicted that this sei will be crysUlized into a law > o ar I nt ore.

But it is to be hoped i oat * os law will be restored in Michigm is mi experiment. It. might serve io throw a little more light upon this quest ton. Certain newspapers ci oming to be friendly to bimetalism are constantly cutting and slashing at "Goin.” Such conduct is t he essence of ineonsislency. ‘'Coin” is no doubt a lit lle extreme in some of his statements, just as many writers areapl to be on a favorite theme. He is a bimelahst. however, and the whole aim of his efforts and books is to establish a poii\ between i gold and silver upon a just ratio. The j racy style of Coin’s books leads some । people into the belief that the views I contained therein are shallow, and un worthy of the serious consideration of thoughtful people. But. these people evidently make a mistake when they think so. Behind his comic comparisons and flippant style are many a solid truth. “Coin” is substantially right, no doubt. Bimetalism is the panacea that will cure the ills of our currency system The people demund bimetalism and will eventually have it.
