the same mistake which the old parties niadcfoity years ago, in solving the slaveiy question. The policy then was to prohibit slavery in the North, or where it was not, and to let it alone where it was in the South. The same policy is nowapplied to the liquor question in the form of license or local option. Men said years ago, you never can prohibit slavery, but Cod brought the nation during the war to such a pass that we had to let go of slavery to save the nations life. Strange that politicians would not learn from this past experience. There were about five million voters in each of the old parties, and then three or four million doubtful voters in the slums of our large cities which held the balance of power, and decided in close elections, as New York had done several times,

A common sense decision that will be of general interest throughout the State was made by Judge Everett, of the LaFayette Superior Court, a few days ago. An action had been brought to compel the county treasurer to pay a county order without regard to the facwhether the holder of the order owed the county taxes or stood clear cn the books. The court held that the custom heretofore generally adhered to by county treasurers of deducting the amount of taxes or other sums due the county from county orders presented, was correct and legal. The new block that is to be erected just north of the post office promises to be in keeping with the improvements of the city. It will be two stories, and constructed of brick with a stone front. There will be two business rooms in front and the rea of the room next to the Rhorer block will be used by the post office. The south room is being budt by Charles Ross and the north room by Cornelius Meadows, who expects to occupy it with a grocery store. The second floor will be divided into offices.

The semi-annual convention of the Christian churches of the Oth district of Indiana is to be held at Franklin Oct. 25th,' 26th and 27th. The Dth district is composed of Shelby, Johnston, Morgan, Owen and Monroe counties. Prof. Atwater is to give the address of welcome, and among the Bloomington people on the program are Rev. L. T. Van Cleave and Mrs. Hon. Quite a number are expecting to attend from here.

The Bloomfield News tells a sad' story as follows: "Over the hill to the poor house, a soldier of two wars goes. On last Tuesday Benjamin F. Douglas,an old gentleman who has outlived his relatives, and who was a soldier and honorably discharged, both in the war with Mexico and the rebellion of 1861, was lifted into the wagon and hauled over to Greene county's poor house to end his days as a common pauper. Mr. Douglas is old and blind, and only draws $8 per month from the government that he gave the strength of his young life yes, more than that, his eyesight, to defend. He has made all the proof necessary to entitle him to a pension sufficient to keep him comfortable the few remaining days, but it came not. Shame on a government that will let its defenders die in the poor house!"

hibition vote of the couutrvis ueutralized. The socaker claimed to oiler the true solution of ;he Labor question. There were two million unemployed men in the country. He had spent his early life in New England, and remembered how capitalists kept men's wages down by saying, if they refused to work they would move their factories down south and employ slave labor. Now they kept wages down by threatening to draw on the two million unemployed tramps. Protective tariff fosters rings and monopolies, but does not benetit the wage earner. Else why is it that under the highest protective tariff there never were so many out of employment; Ue claimed to have made a study of statistics, and said the nation's drink bill last year amounted to l,784,y63.47S, and this was $170,173.212 more than the whole circulating medium of the country. If this had been turned into channels of legitimate trade, it would boom every industry and give employment to every laborer. To turn the $1,7W.9UM78 now spent annually for drink into the comforts of life would open every factory and set every wheel and spindle to hummming? But that is not all. Think of the sorrow, shame and suffering inflicted on the families of the & 000, 000 confirmed inebrates of this nation. Think of how the nerves of these skilled laborers arc shattered, and their value not only as husbands and fathers destroyed, but their value as laborers also, and then say it i not a practical and worthy object for a political party to try to carry Pro hibition. Mr. Pinkham is a pleasant speaker and was favored with the closest attention. Many ladies were present. About thirty Bloomington people went to Cbicugo Sunday.

The little daughter of Charlie Colpitts, north Grant street, is able to be about after a severe attack of typhoid fever. Mrs. W. H. Hancock and children, who have been visiting Mrs. Hancock's parents at Gosport, re turne i home yesterday. Miss Laura Cooper, north Lincoln street, has gone to Indianapolis, where ho has accepted a position as an instructor in the industrial schools of that cits.

The uew O. & M. railroad, o e of Bedford's great enterprises, has finally located its grand central depot in. that town I was brought in on a fiat car and measures 12x10. Next! Rev. J. W. Clevcnger is arranging to commence a series of revival meetings a't the First Baptist

The time they will continue will be determined later.

In the case of Mrs. Cook against the Monon, tried in the circuit court Friday, the jury gave a judgment of ifciOO for Mrs. Cook, "if the law be with the plant iff." She alleged that the company Injd wrongfully ejected here from one of its trains.

Word has been received here by Jesse Mayiield stating that the wife of Rev. W. F. Ross " died at the home in Redman, Ills., last Wednesday, after a brief illness. It will be recalled that Rev. RossTirst wife died while he was in Texas a

Milton S. Robertson north Lincoin street, is at the fair. Judge Miers has bought 4Kitty Greene," the sorrel pacer that helonged to Joseph Greene. Sh3 attracted much attention during the fair, and is a valuable piece of horse-fiesh. Rev. J. W. Clevenger, of the First baptist, cnuM-h gave an address to tlic young people of Ellettsville Thursday night that was much enjoyed by the large audience present. There is talk of a new paper being started in Blooming 'on at an early date, and it is stateo that the publishers are to come from a distance. The new publication is to be the organ of the People's party. J. T. Fiylds is here from Montcry, Cab, spending a few das with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Moses Fields. Mr. Fields is accompanied by C T. Romie. Both

appointed Master of Transportation of the Kentucky & Indiana Bridge Co vn pany and will have entire charge of the running of trains. Mr. Woodard is a well known former Monon conductor. S. D. Noel, a former citizen of this place, but located at Indianapolis for some time, has lost his steel rooting factory by fire. He

is now- offering $500 reward for J the arrest of the persons who tired j the building. I Jerry Collier, living jn the north.;

part of the county, has ga.hered and hulled oven 100 bushels of walnuts in the last month. He intends to haul them to Indianapolis and place them on the market. When we were boys many years ago half the pleasure from that delicious nut used to come from the fun of hulling it, then trying for the next month to get the stain off the hands.
