Tn* Express this morning contained just six headlined local news items, one of which was an article maligning TUB NKWS, another was made up largely of brief paragraphs takpn from last night's IFLSUE of Tna NEWS, and the third contained four paragraphs, two of which bad been published twelve hours previously in THR NEWS, The other three short items, of minor importance, were new ir mat old democrat, flerrjr, of Ma*«ackn.iett« who prepared tbo first unfair apportionment bUl, could hate foreseen to what infamies bis name would c* attached lw never would ha™

Tim NEWS receives votes each day written: "anybody to beat" so and so. Thee© votes are all excluded. They are not reported. The management will not publish any vote of that character, nor a vote for any recognised or known "tough." It is simply a method adopted by the management to give the public tho opportunity to express its voice as to a choice for mayor between reputable cithern. It is not intended as a plan or device whereby any citlxen may be made r. a target for the dislike of the voter or at which shafts of malice may be aimed from under cover.

The above is a more insinuation and unworthy of notice excepting the reference to TH« Nmws' circulation. Now, we have heretofore invited the Express to a comparison of circulation, and we here and now extend the invitation. If THBNKWS is "lying" about circulation the Express has the opportunity to demonstrate' It and thereby put TIM NEWS in a bad light before the public. Has it the nerve to make the test? Has the confidence in itself to wake the t? Come now, will you do Uf Show or shut up.

THK Kswa is glad \m abl* to iay that the nrospect of Un» w\y paving of Main street and in a substantial manner, is excellent. It will be don* under the Barrett law.

is being

arranged a banquet ftr March 10th.

which will be both novel and full^ interest It is to be in cctebratioa of the manufacture of American tin plate and also its manufacture into ware of various kinds, from which the goests will quaff the liquid rcfrcsdjments of tho banquet, andon which the salidft and delkacies will be served. The Souti»rn ate*! works at Chattsnaoga, will manufacture iheaof* steel platowhfcli will usedw ita coating of tin at Si. Louis at the tinning works of Niedringhaa*. Tha tin used for the coding will come from the Blaak Wmt whom a short Him paw valuable tin mines twit diaeovew&ffWe

have ee«n specimens of the plate made at the Southern sfcptl work* and tinned at St. Louis, and to «U appearances it is first-class qualityof piste. The railroad magnet, John H. Indian and the Hon. Abram & Hewitt, of N#w York, are large owners in 'i« steel works at Cbataxsoogav and with other eminent mm will participate 1® the banquet The occasion will be a memorable and interesting mot in the history of tin plate manofactcr* in America.

OtHER CHAINS FOFtQEO There can be no doubt but the home rale stranglem will attempt this spring to forge other chains to bind the people. They have already stripped the people of th»« city of the right to conduct and manage their own local affaire by the passage of the police law. The strangles of local ueif-government have pot it Into the hands of state officers to say bow the city taxes of Ted»l Haute shall be expended so far as relate# to the salary of the police board. The law fixes the fatary of the police board, or limits it, taking the matter entirely out of the fcynfai ot the city council whom the taxnaifinL eject- The p*iiee board entirely ^OCmTauu iKnruov and are in nowise responsible to the iat tor. In other words, the police law fixes the limit of salary thai shall be pnid the police board for services/ The state officers at Indianapolis appoint the board and city council nor t.x flyers have any voice in the matter.

Thenext move of tho stranglers is understood to bo the redaction of the present saloon license. The present license is $250 per year. This yielded a revenue to the city last year of $35,000. With this cut oil by the strangle!*, the city tax levy on all kinds of property must be increased. This must be done if city ex penses are to lw. met or any street im provements made.

YDS NEWS is sure the people will not submit to this move of the strangier?. The stranglers must and will be strangled. The maintainance^bf the present high license is a necessity and it behooves the people to watch the stranglers and get ready to down them by a crushing vote at the spring election.

A CLEAN CLEAR CUT FALSEHOOD The Exproas of this morning publishes the following concerning the vote for mayor: "Congrena Corner'' ia at FooTth mreotand thi Vandalia crowing *«d local politic* recelv* tnore attention thvre than any other place In tbo city. When TBKNKW*' voting eonteat bogan Mayor Dan»ld#on wan given one vow, while from CongrwM Corner four votes bad been gent In for'him. Soon afterward* bi* vote# amounted to eijtbt and eight more Totea were then eent In from Conjtrew Corner. Tbli occurred more than a week *go an 1 yet Danaid•on'a vote amount* to but thirteen. In all fourteen votei bare been tent from that corner alone and a« they were eent more than a w«ck ago there Is no longer any question that 1 Hie NEWS la misrepresenting the rotes caat and that for the political advancement of one of the alleged ttockholdcr* in THK NEWS company. K*ery vote sent from Congress Corner waa IBPTJO ii^^romig' Mtofof

There is but one answer to be msde to the above, and that is, that the charge to the effect that TUB NKWS suppresses orfails to publish tho vote cast for Mr. Danaldson as received at THE Nsws office, is ft clean, clear cut, and malicious falsehood, out of whole cloth and without any basis of justification or extenuation. Mr. Danaldson baa been credited with every vote that has reached Tim NEWS office bearing his name and the camo has been faithfully published. And any statement to the contrary is a mean, despicable falsehood. If votes for Mr. Danaldson or any other reputable, respectable person or business man or citisen have failed to appear in THK NEWS, it is because it has failed to reach this office. That is the whole of it.

The Express utters a bald and despicable falsehood when it says "there is no longer any question that THK NEWS is misrepresenting the votes cast and that for the political advancement of one of the alleged stockholders in THE NEWS company." By "alleged stockholders" the Expreea refers to 0, B. King. Mr. King dot* not own one cent, nor one dollar, nor any other number of dollars worth of stock in THE E ewsi He hss no money connection with THE NEWS in any amount directly or indirectly. Nor it he THE NEWS candidate for mayor, Nor la Tun NEWS seeking to advance his interest in that direction.

The Express is gangreenrd with jealousy. It is pitted with the smallpox of a Its and it knows it It It full of envy over the fact that it fa overshadowed by FTTT

NEWS in its circulation. Hate Exprw» grows reetlv* with the tan of sub* acribere and seeks to recover jomewbat by making up in falsehood what it has lost in ita pusillanimous,* unreliable ahilly shally coon* with refarence to the enforSemcnt of the law. That fa what pinches and abara and gangmna and makes it falsify.

Uncle Silas did not urge her to complete the sentence. He knew what she meant, and knew that it was Gospel truth, too Dave was too happy-go-lucky, too careless, too confidential in other people's plans to ever succeedbut still. Uncle Silas sighed heavily as he smoothed the calico band around the crown of his palm leaf hat, with hand that slightly trembled. Dave had always been his favorite in Spite of his free, easy temperament, and he knew the boy was good-hearted too goodhearted in feet, for his own good "We can't do it, Silas." '•Don't, don't say that, "Lizy," he said, tremulously. "Poor Dave, who knows but this scheme may turn out well? I'm sure we ought to help him."

Marion- She took it without a word and re^d it to the end. It was frankly writter in Dave's honest way, clearly stating the case and asking for fifty dollars. "1 halo mortally to ask you," be wrote in one place, "and I wouldn't If I (bought there was no chaste of my ever paying you, but I assure you, fatter, tharf the plan oan not fall to turn out In cfer furor if I h&re tho funds to carry me through.

There was a loolwf mute questioning in poor Undo Si's eyes as she returned the epistle, but she did not ^answer It, only took down a pail of feed for the hens, and, tying on her sun-hat, went out, and tho subject wsjs dropped until after supper, when she herself revived it. "What do you think about it, mother," she asked. "Ought I to give the money to Dave? You know how shabby the parlor is."

Mrs. Barney was deep in tho china closet and did not answer at first, but, when she did, her voice was rather shaky. "I dunno, Marion," she said. "Do just as you like the money is yown an Davo ain't got tio right to it beyond the claim of flesh and blood. You've worked hard for it, an' the parlors shabby, know. Poor Dave!"

Marion knew just what her mother 1I.III»III I -FCTO NINXUY eyes and frank nature was more to them all than the claim of justice. Uncle Si was looking at her, and she heard him murmur, as he took a pine stick from the wood-box and went out doom to whittle! "Poor Dave, he's a good boy." 'TU decide to-morrow," she said, shortly, thinking of the long cherished parlor suite, then of her brother, with his inability to "stick," but love con quered. "I'll do without for another year," she whispered to herself, brushing away a tear. "Dave shall have it this time as he did before, and may he suoceed."

She said nothing, tibwever, until ahe canio back next day from her journey after her school money, just fifty-four dollars, then she placed a letter in Uncle Si's hand. "Read it," she said, quietly^ "And if you can, take it to town this afternoon."

Uncle Si laboriously spelled out the few lines, while hb hand trembled so he could hardly hold the paper. "Diun BsOTKKn DAVE—I&oSosed are the fifty dollars desired I hope it la enough. Lot' us know how the ease terminate*. •Tours as ever, MABXOS BAE»BT." "God Mess you, Marlon," ejaculated Uncle Si, letting the paper flutter td the floor, while he clasped her hand. "It's a great sacrifice to you, child, but the good Lord will reward you, and Dave will not be ungrateful. Yes, I'll go to the village this very afternoon never mind Dolly's lameness, nor the hayin' either."

The old claw-legged parlor furniture, with its hair-cloth upholstering, %vaa refurbished and the worn carpet and green window shades mended, while the picture of Dave, in a new frame, smiled serenely down from the mantel, entirely unconscious of the darned and patched furniture.

One day Uncle Si came down from the village, hfa face all aglow with pleasure, and hfa eyes rftfwfog. as if youth had been renewed, "JRcad that!" he cried, tossing a letter into Marion's lap. "Just read that, Marion."

Dave's plan had succeeded, Strang* to tell, and inetosfed was a check tor one hundred dollars, "principal and coonpound interest, with a Utile besides." ••Them, Marion, there," cried Uncle Si, fairly dancing in his glee. "What ls*y* An' now ain't you glad you sent the monoy to Dave? The parlor can be farcfaSted now, an' yofc wont have to teach school no longer. Ofc, Marion, aint the Lord good?"

There is a full review of the events of the quarter of a century which has passed since Appomattox, and the narration closes with the samission of Idaho and Washington as states, in July, 1800, and the publication in November, of the United States census figures for 1890,

:f ?Brought up to this year- Mgffc

The Americanised Encyclopaedia Britannica not only covers all subjects treated of in the original work, and very large number of additional subjects but brings its historical and statistical matter up to date (1800). Of the 44 states which compose the American Union, the Britannica, ninth edition, knows only 38 as aucb, the remainder being still in their territorial condition, Dakota undivided, and Oklahoma entirely omitted. In treating of these states and territories ako the statistics given in the original are those of a bygone time. The British work gives the populatfon, the agricultural snd tlje manufacturing stat sties of Alabama for the year 1870, and complacently compares them with the dsta for lfm Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware snd Florida are similarly treated for Georgia we have the population and manufactures of 1870, and the cotton crop of 1870. For tho other statea the figures for 1880 srs given, and in Wisconsin, which comes near the end of the book, there is reference to a census of 1885.

In the Americanized edition the populations are those of

The Census of 1890,

The statistics of production the latest published by stats authority or obtainable by correspondence. All that is true of the states is equally true of the cities. In dssling with the great commercial centers of the country tbs compilers of the Americanized Encyclopedia have with great labor and expense obtained the statistics of growth and development, of population snd manufactures, direct from the civic authorities, the boards of trade snd chambers of commerce in each city, or from qualified writers on the spot* It has been necessary to entirely rewrite the articles on loch cities as New York, Philsdelpbia, Chicago, Boston, Indiaospolis, Cincinnati,
