The appointment of Democratic Pension Examiners will not increase the Republican majority in Monroe county. m ii mi

If Southern governors were as good at trying to secure a free ballot as in arresting prize-fighters, several States would be added to the Republican column. Considering that Indianapolis did more than any city In the State to defeat Gen. Harrison, certainly enough fat offices have been distributed in that localitv.

If any man deserves well of Gen. Harrison and the Republican administration, it is Col. W. W. Dudley. All this Democratic howling should not deter the President from his duty.

The Republican party of Indiana can not afford to defend the school book ring, and its corrupt and persistent efforts to keep the price of school books up to twice their worth.

If Gen. Harrison wants to do the right thing by Monroe county, be should give it one good appointment. Bartholomew and Johnson courties have each secured a plum, but neither showed the Republican gain of Monroe. Master Workman Powderly, at .the head of the Knights of Labor, thinks that eight hours is too much for a day's work. It seems that Ppwderlv is determined to lose the good will of the people and be a demaoaue after all.

" Tns only State holding au election of any interest this year is Ohio. There an effort will be made "Effa?ffe4x trdvTTb raker on the third term f allacy and charge the result to the administration of Gen. Harrison. The old flag is in no danger, however.

The people voted for a change last November, and the sooner the offices are filled with Republicans, the greater probability there will be of carrying Indiana at the next election. The masses do not take stock in the kind of civil service reform" that keeps qualified Republicans out of office.

The Indianapolis Journal labors hard for the school-book trust, and hopes to create the inipre ssion that the new Indiana Publishing Company, that proposes to furnish the books at reasonable prices, is a Democratic monopoly. The fact that four of the eight members are Republicans im evidence that the Journal trifles with the truth.

Attounky Genkual Mkhknkk has been selected for Ch airman of the Republican State Central Committee. Owing to an appointment to office, Mr. Huston resigned. The selection of Mr. Michener is the best that could have been made. He is a shrewd, smart practical politivian. The new chairman will enter upon the work of re-organization at once, and if anybody can restore harmony, he will succeed.

it has probably neve before happened that three sons of as many presidents of the United States have met together in a foreign country, as they did in London a few days ago, whfn Jesse Grant and Russell Harrison called upon Minister Lincoln at the U. S. legation. The meeting of these thtee gentlemen in America, where men stand more decidedly on their merits, would attract no attention, but u England, where greatness is reflected upon succeeding generations, and, as it were, fixed upon a family by granted titles, to be the son of the great emancipate r, or of the conqueror of the rebellion is to be entitled to distinction They rank among men born great. Nobody in America is born great, but Englishmen don't quite understand that yet, notwithstanding no man can be born half so great England to-d iy as he coul I hv e been even 50 years ago.

some business troubles with a man,

who shot him in the head, resulting in death two days later. He was robbed of HGine monev.and his Looks and his papers at the time he was shot. At Norfolk, his place of doing business, some two or three thousand dollars was. also missing. Mrs. Shecs and her children will now move to Richmond.

The supreme court of the State decide that a school trustee may, for good cause, discontinue a school when it becomes so small as to satisfy him that no good purpose can be accomplished by keeping it open, and a court will not review his action, unless bad faith is shown. The omission of the trustee to enter an order of record closing a school is not material when he gave notice of his intention.

Horace E. Stockbride, Director of the Government Agricultural Experiment Station at Purdue University, has been investigating a new wheat disease, which lie finds affecting the crop in Laizrancre County. The disease is of fungoid growth, known as "bunt," or "stiukiug smut." the last name coming from the disagreeable odor given off. It is rarely found in this country, but it is not uncommon on the old con

tinent, and it is no more harmful than the ordinary smut, but the odor makes it more objectionable. Where not too abundant, it can bo separated from the good grain bv fauniniz or by washing. It does not spread in the field, but the germs producing it adhere to the grain, and are thus sown -with the seed.

i uere 13 no aouoi mat we are to

have a verv eleaborate international exposition in this country in 1 &():, on the occasion of the fourth centenary of the discovery of America. The only question seems to be as to the place.where the exposition shall be held. There are various claimants for the honor. Away down in Virginia, they want the exposition held, because there the first city was found ed, and around the region of Plymouth rook is a small colony that thinks because the pilgrims landed there two hundred years after the discover, the celebration should be mainly in its neighborhood. Congress will probohly be called upon for a round appropriation, and the selection of the place will therefore probably be left to that body.

A ' postid tube"' to connect Dover wiih Calais, over the English Chan ne!, is being discussed in England. The plan is to suspend'two tubes of about a yard each i n diameter by means of steel cables ae.rossjth channel, forty yards above the level of the sea. The steel cnbles will be fixed to pillar at distances of about soO yards, and in ea.-h tube a little railway will run with cars capable of carrying 4,r0 pounds in weight. No parcel of greater weight than this will b taken, and the cost is estimated at the mode&t figure of $.5,000,-000.

In the last weather-crop bulletin of the Indiana Weather Service, in co-operaticn with the United States Signal Service, it is reported that the wheat harvest has ended in the sru'Iurn and central portions of the State, and is near completion in the noithern. The yield is good in quality and average in quantity, and but Hi tie injury has ben done by the aphis, which during the past week disappeared entirely. Corn is growing rapidly with such moist and warm temperature ;ts prevailed during the iast week. Oats cutting will commence very soon.

"Forest and Stream" speaking of the Johnstown disaster says: "The responsibility for this disaster should be placed just where it belongs, and that is on the people who have stripped the Allegheny Mountains of their timber. Steadily and without pause this work of devastation has gone on. Floods from melting snows and from spring rains, causing the streams to overflow their banks,and to work damage to the extent of millions of dollars, have not served to warn the public of dangers to which certain communities were exposed through this greed for gain. At. last cuno i he tiood which swept away Johnstown and destroyed in an hour thousands of lives and millions of property. Will this loss teach the State of Pennsylvania and States thai some regard mnst be paid to nature's laws? It is to be feared that it will not. The lumbermen will still be permitted to strip the mountains oi their timber and to prepare their ncky slope to throw off waur which falls upon

them jusi as a shingled roof sheds rain. A single calamity, no matter how overwhelming, will not teach, the needed lesson but when widespread disaster aud suffering come, thev must if the work of destruction is not: checked, then here, in America we will follow the example set us in the Old World and care for our forests. The Telephone has always insisted that the general cultivation of small fruits would pa)' in Monroe county. For this work the soil could easilybe put in good condition, and with less work than is devoted to grain, much more money could be made. To give the reader an idea

following figures are taken from the New Albany Ledyer regarding the season just closed: "The total shipments of strawberries from New Albauy during the season of were 115,335 casus, aggregating 2 1 2,000 gallons, the cases running at (5 gallons to the case. At forty ceuts per gallon, which is probably a fair averaut of the price for the season through, the growers realized for their crop the sum of $ts4fstt4. The shipment of raspberries for the season closing on the loth, aggregated "26,12 cases, or a total ol " 178,308 gallons. The prices received for the raspberry crop by growers was about the same as that received for the strawberry crop, an average the season through of about forty cents per gallon, the crop realiziug to the growers the comfortable and paying sum

of $71,347. The total, receipt by

vesterdav hv President David Jordan from I)r J. ff. Heddinu- As the, letter was written by tae physician who intended Charles tollman, during his last sickness, it will be of special interest to our readers. The letter is as follows: Waycross, Ga., Ji ly 1-S Dear Sir. Yours of lf)th mst. to har d. I regret very much to state what you have already lc:rued e'"C this the death of Mr- Chas. Doliman, which occurred on the night or evening of the 13th in st. Charley. ax I learned

to call him during his iiln?ss, was-

taken more violently ill at the he ginning of his attack than any one I ever knew. He took h,s breakfast on morning of 4th and at 10 a. m. was called to him, ancl found his condition verv serious at that time having a pulse rate o:: liil) beats per minute a temperature of 104 F, frequent and abundant discharges of blood. I saw at once that I aad a very serious case to care for aud went to work earnestly, but had no evidence of improvement at any time. Mr. Fesler was threatened with a similar attack, but less violent at the onset. Mis improvement was so unsatisfactorv I urged him to return home as speedily as possible, lest he should become too weak to undergo the fatigue of the trip. Charley wanted to start home the day on which he was taken, but he would no doubt have succumbed on the way. 1 think I can assure you that everything was done for him that could be. The proprietor of the hotel was ever ready to respond promptly to any demand or request made him. I had two other

physicians to see him several times I

with me in consultation and 1 remained with hinj continuously for the last five days and nights to neglect of ray regular patients. I had to do this because I could not procure a nurse of sufficient intelligence to administer medicine. The fact that he was a stranger in a strange land, without friend or relative to help him, (bs!er was too feeble to be of any assistance) excited a warmer sympathy than I eou.'d otherwise have felt, perhaps. Although no mother's hand was present to bathe his parched brow, or calm his restless moments of wandering delirium! his place was supplied an well as a stranger could do so. Moping that his remains reached Pittsburg in due time and have been received by his relatives I am Very truly yours, J. H. Ruddzni.
