this country.

A CURIOUS bill was presented in the Canadian House of Commons at Ottawa the other day, A railroad known as the Canadian Pacific has been projected. The bill forbids the employment on the roadf*

pmu -I

anv person whose hair may be more than five inches in length. It was intended to prevent the employment of Cainese laborers, it being a matter of religion as well as custom for the almond eyed celestials not to cut their cues, or their pig tails, as they are sometimes called. The bill was defeated.

THE NEW STATE HOUSE. The state house commissioners have adot) tfd a plan for a now state house, thatof Mr

May, of Imliananolis. The estimated cost of thebuilding Is about $1,700,000. Now, we predict. 1 hat state house will cost double the amount named.—|New Albany LedgerStandard.

If what is surmised concerning the reputation of Mr. May for exceeding estimates is true, the L.-S. predictions will become a sad leality. But the thing to do in this case is to prevent the com. mencement of work until the gislature meets. That can and must be done. Is the Ledger-Standard prepared to lend a helping hand in this work?

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET OF HARRISON TOWNSHIP The Democracy ot Harrison ToWA ship appeal to the community at large for support to their ticket on other than meie political grounds. The political aspects of the case the GAZETTE has frequently discussed before. Our purpose now is to give other reasons. The names will be found at the head of the editorial columns. They are all representative men, well

to the performance of their duty. They have served the people, know the law, are acquainted with the business, and have the confidence of the community. The 'Squires office is the poor man's court and it is important that the competent men should fill those positions to the end that justice may be be done. A comparison between the Democratic candidates and their competitors in this respect is earnestly invited. Let any one who has any doubts on this subject aik any attorney who has had business with them, what he thinks of the Democratic candidates lor Justices of the Peace.

The Democratic party, on the contrary, proposes to make the wage9 of laborers a first lien on the property of their employers, and to make them bear 'nterest after they are due and unpaid.

This proposition was first advocated by a mechanic in this city, in an article published in the GAZETTE. It was advocated by the GAZETTE. Other Democratic paper in the State took it up. It was incorporated as a plank in the Democratic platform. 0

A ASHINGTON dispatch states that the demand for the new silver dollars has diminished in that city, so that only $100 in them were paid out yesterday. About one thousand of them could be disposed of here in double quick time.

POOR LuUier Benson, has been on a spree for a week at Indianapolis. "Poor" properly expresses the condition of Ben son. He is the most abj ict object of pity on the face of the earth. He is the slave of an appetite which scourages him with merciless ferocity. With his royal en dowment of oratorical ability he is utter, ly unreliable because of this overmastering appetite, ,JIe is himself his strongest lecture.

If that party is successful this fall, and secures a majority in the Legislature, it will keep the pledge it has giyen to the workingmen in the State, and enact the proposition into a law. It is a good example of the way in which the Democratic party adopts the sound suggestions of the members of the party. It shows that it is a true friend of men who actually work—not of the hoodlums who hope to earn their bread by the sweat of their jaws.

The case stands just this way, A skilled mechanic in this city makeR a wise suggestion with reference to a change in the law. It was indorsed by every man in the State who actually works for wages. The Democratic party took it up, recognizing the justice of the demand. It makes the cause of the real working men of the state its own. It re mains with the real—not the 6ham— working men of the State, to say whether or not they are prepared to sustain a measure they themselves proposed.

It pains the GAZETTE to observe Mr Abbott working against the interest of his own class. He is, so far as the GAZETTE knows, an honest and intelligent man» and a good workman. Being a good man, it is therefore especially discreditable in him to be laboring againt the interest of his fellow workmen, in favor of a proposition to abolish all laws lor the collec tion of debt, and to leave the wages of every working man in the hands of their employers, to be paid or not paid, wher. and where it may please their sovereign will. The GAZEITB urges Mr| Abbot to think this matter over carefully

He has been faithful, carefu pains-taking, economical, and honestHis defeat would be a calamity. His election will be the best day's werk the citizens and tax-payers of Harrison Township ever did.

DELEGALIZ1NG DEBT. What the so called National party is aiming at is to delegalize debt. That is to say it favors the abolition of all laws for the collection of debt. It proposes to leave the wages oi laborers in the hands of their employers, and payable whenever, their employers may see fit.

A few points about it will bear elucidation. Preseott was the Republican candidate, and he received 39,377 votes. McKean was the Democratic candidate. His vote was

Under the circumstances, the GAZETTE feels justified in saying that it shudders for its contemporary's welfare. Suppose, for example, the Nationals, un der that name, and standing on the Toledo platform, should actually get a majority of votes in some town. Now what would, or could the GAZE rra's delirious contemporary do? It couldn't say the natives were astonished, for we have seen how those supernatural gushers were astonished at nothing. It couldn't say the Nationals had "scooped things," for "scooping things" has been used to designate getting nothing. The GAZETTE fears it would have a fit of hysterics which would seriously injure it_ It would be impossible for it to Express its feelings. 1

TRUSTEE FISCHER.

A prominent and well-known citizen of Harrison township, who lives a few miles« east of the city was invited to make a speech at a meet ing of the so-called National party at Su. gar Grove school house, east of the city, last night. He is not a National, but he an old and respected citizen of Vigo county, and lives in the neighborhood, where the school-house is located. He has the confidence and esteem ®f all hi* neighbors. He happened to be present and as stated was invited to make a speech He spoke in substance as follows: '•ft emen: It is the height of follv for you to oppose the re-election of Mr. Fischer. He has made the best Trustee Harrison Township ever had in my recollection. He is a plain, practical man with lots of hard, common sense.

He has made himself thoroughly acquaint .! wit'i oar emtn^n school sys tem. The schools of Harrison township are better miilAged now, and more efficient than ever before. You who li is neighborhood, and whose children have attended the school in this building where we now are, know that it is conducted better than ever before, and as good as it could reasonably be expected to be managed. What is the use of experimenting in so important a matter? You cannot expect to improve the present condition of our schools. Why risk a change? He is a candidate for re-election, and it is possible for us to continue him in office. For my part, I want to see him re-elected.

Now as to our roads. The tax Has been lowered year by year since he has been in office. The records show this to be so. Do any of you remember when more work was ever done on the roads of Harrison Township than has been done during the time he has been Trustee? Are not the roads and bridges of Harrison Township,—I do not speak of the roads throughout the county—They are in a wretched condition—but the roads of Harrison Township, are not they in a better condition than they have ever been? He has fairly and honestly done his duty in ihe6e impoitant matters, and it is wortn our while to 6tand by an officer who has done more with less money than ever1 was done before

Of the other tandidaies, I know nothing.

They

may be good men, for all I

know. But they have not yet been trieJ. Fischer has been, and it is good policy to leave well enough alone.

The principles of the National party have nothing to do with this. It is a question of schools, roads, bridges, and the care of the poor. It is more important for us to see these things well attended to, and it more vitally affects our pockets than the election of a President or members of Congress. You will make a great mistake if, in a vain attempt to regulate national affairs, vou defeat a good candidate, who has done his duty, his whole duty, and nothing but his duty."

This speech was not what was bargained for, but it was listened to with attention, and ought to have done good, and doubtless did. One thing at least, is certain, and that is that nothing but the plain and unvarnithed truth was told. Mr. Fischer has made an excellent Trustee. iThis is a matter which should be remembered bv all citizens who.are interested in the efficiency of the schools, and the condition of the roads, bridges and culverts over the township. It should particularly interest tax payers who foot the bills.

Democratic Speaking.

Judge McNutt Will address his fellow citizens at the Township House in Lockport, Saturday night at 8 o'clock. Come out Democrats, Republicans, and "National*, and let as reason together.
