Thxrb is no city in southern Indiana the size of Bloomington that can show as much general street improvement. Tiiere is no city in southern Indiana the size of Bloomiugton that has as many substantial public buildings. There is no city in southern Indian, a the size of Bloomington where as my new bouses are under contract or are being built. There is no city in southern Indiana the size of Bloomington where as much money is saved through the building associations. There is no city in southern Indiana the size of Bloomington thai employs as many men in its factories. Boom the town! Foa the past ten years an element in Pennsylvania politics has been clamoring for an election on the question of prohibition. Tuesday was set apart for that purpose and the result is a majority of 150,000 against the amendment. The Civil Service Commission has been over to Indianapolis "investigating" the Republican post master because he dismissed Democratic employes. Republicans generally would not dread such a terrible crime!

MUSICAL PROGRAM

mfav be remarked that Gen.

Harrison is not appointing confederate generals to office. Quite a contrast with four years ago.

It is found that President Harrison is very slow in making appointments. In the beginning of his administration he was compelled to make a great many appointments in a short time, but now that the important offices are tilled and the administration is under Republican control the presdent will make haste slowly. He has been very fortunate in his appointments, but, of tourse,a good deal has depended upon luck. A president could not appoint so many persons in so short a time and be able to know their titness for the several positions. But henceforth he can take the time to inquire about the applicant and know what he is before he makes the appointment. There is not much danger of a bad anpoictment being made from now on. There are quite a number of important offices yet to be filled, but the president will not be hurried,and the office-seekers will have to nurse their patience and wait. The fiddler. of Decatur county, Indiana, have formed an organization, vith a membership of more than two hundred. To be able to fiddle is the only qualification for membership. Any man, womn or child who can turn a eimpie tune on the violin may become a member, but otherwise neither pedigree, wealth nor political influence can secure admission. It is proposed to have a tiddler's tournament a sort of scraping match, as it were at which the programme will include, among other numbers, such timehenored melodies as the "Wild Horse' "Devil's Dream," "Arkansas lravelsr," "Leather Breeches, Full of Stitches"1 "Jennie, Put the Kittle on, We'll All Take Tea," "Such 'Xother Gittin'Up Stairs Yon Never Did See," "Washerwoman,"' "Puncheon." "The Campbells Are Coming," etc. If ther-i are 200 fiddlers in Decatur county able to play one or all of these tunes, the horrible question arisen, how many are there in Indiana? The Italians who 8 warm to this port ar-j more anxious to learn the English language soon after they come here than any other race of ini migrants from the continent of Europe, with the exception of the He--bresvs. Even those Italiai: who have reached, middle age seem to understand the advar tage of knowing the speech of the country in which tr ey are to Jive, and they hold views on this subject that differ irom those held by iiany of our immigrants from Bohemia and Poland and Sweden and Germany, There are Italian classes that meet at night for the study of English, and many of the full grown scholars find by experience that they are able to master it after a time.
