A BAD BILL.

A wonderful bill (House bill 283) has been introduced into the Legislature providing that a tax of not more than $5 or less than $1 shall be levied on each theatrical and concert performance •and that the sums thus derived shall go to the county horticultural and agricultural societies where the sums are'collected. This bill is so palpably unjust and absurd that there is scarcely any reason for believing that it will become a law, although it is reported that the majority of the House comrtfittee to •which it was referred are in favor of it. It is a demagogical and dangerous measure and has no point or principle in it tbat can for one moment recommend its adoption. The amusement managers already pay a municipal tax which fully covers the requirements of the case and the adoption of the measure now before the General Aesembly would work a gross hardship upon, them.

There can be no possible connection community of interest between a theatrical company and a county agricultural society, and even if there was it would make no difference, for the passage of the act would affirm the dangerous doctrine that one class of citizens should b9 taxed for the special benefit of another. The GAZETTE trusts the bill will be beaten and beaten badly when it comes up, and it hopes the members from this county—Messrs Schloss, Glover and Dickerson, will be found voting against it.

The farmers of the state cannot be in favor of such apiece of clap-trap any more than they or their associations would want to be taxed to support theatrical companies or religious bodies. Both would be on the same principle. The farmers can keep up their county fairs and continue to offer premiums (and pay them too) without a tax for their support levelled against another class of their fellow-citizens. They will object to being made legislative objects of charity

THE Chicago Tribune has this to say .of President Cleveland's latest pension veto: 'Tresideut Cleveland's message returning the dependents' pension bill to Congress is' by all odds the aolest state paper the President has written. The doenmont is remarkable, indeed, for close, clear analysis, strong reasoning, and unimpeachable conclusions. Since the complete exposure the President has made of this loosely drawn and dangerous bill any Democrat who votes to pass it over the veto will very likely incnr a judgment of political death at the hands of his party, and Republicans who yield it demagogic support will need much better reasons than they have ret made public to justify themselves before the people."

This from such a radical partisan paper as the Chicago Tribune is indeed a marvel.

THE STATE TREASURER. The payment promptly to State Treas-urer-elect Lemcke of the full amount duo from the retiring State Treasurer by Mr. Jno. Cooper, is evidently a serious disappointment to the Indianapolis Journal and the several other Repub" lican organs of the state. Having falsely asserted all through the campaigu that Mr. Cooper was "abort" it was a severe blow to these Christian statesmen to find that he is uot "short," but was able to pay in full and in cash the entire amount oharged to him as Treasurer of State, a sum ag-

gregating over $300,000. Instead ol raaking a manly apology, which ought to accompany the ability with which the Journal is conducted, it is now trying to prove that because §35,000 of this sum wa3 not paid until at noon the next day, its outrageons falsehoods are excusable. When Mr. Cooper threw open the doors of the state treasury to his successor he told him in the presence of Mr. Jno. 0. New that the money was all there except 835,000 which had not arrived from out of town on time, but was expeoted that day or the next and he stated that if Mr Lemcke desired he would go at once to the bank and get the money so that not even await of twelve hours might be occasioned. Mr, Lemcke said he was perfectly willing to wait and at Doon the next day the $35,000 arrived and a receipt in full was taken. It was quite different with Mr. Cooper's. Republican successor, Mr. Hill. He was short about $10,000 and could not or did not raioe it. To screen him Mr. Cooper took his notes for the amount and after waiting along time was finally compelled to pue him to get the money. An apology is due to'Mr. Cooper from almost every Republican paper in the state for vile slanders published again and again about him all through the campaign and it is indecent in them to withhold these amends.

ELECTIONS oocur in Germany next Monday. If Bismarck succeeds in securing a majority he will make it warm for the unfortunate minority. All the probabilities point to his success,- but should he fail the four or five remaining hairs on his head will be pulled out by the roots. s*'

Blaine and Sherman..

St.. Louis Globe Democrat: James G. Blaine will be the easiest man to nominate and the hardest man to elect in 1888. John Sherman will be the hardest man to nominate and the easiest man to elect in 1888. This, in our judgment, is the slight difference between these two men.

Seventy-Yard Runniner Race. From Thursday's Daily. *1 The seventy-five yard spirit running race tins afternoon in this city between Cross, of Du Quoin, 1)1., a colored man, and Haaghn, of Casey, white, both good runners, was won by the former in 1% seconds. 4

The runners and their backers and friends came here yesterday afternoon. The match has been attracting much attention over in Illinois and a great deal of money was put up on the result. It was said last night that as much as $10,000. counting the'stakes and private bets, had been plaoed on the race. It was the intention to run yesterday afternoon, but the weather prevented. Haughn rnns a restaurant at Casev. Cross is a miner. Both men have run before. The latter was backed by McKay, a prominent saloon-keeper of Decatur. A banker from Casey stood behind Haughn.

The rice has been under arrangement for the past two months. It was to have occurred Wednesday a week ago at Centralia, but rain prevented. The stakes then were $400, The contest was then arranged for Mattoon last Saturday and the stakes raised to $500. Raia again interfered. Terre Haute was then decided upon. The stakes were raised to $1,000.

There were a large number of sporting men in the city, some from Cincinnati and Chicago.

THE RACE THIS AITTEBNOON Long before 1 o'clock this afternoon crowds began to gather in the Vanaaiia yards east of the tracks where the contest was to take place. By 1:45 folly 2,000 persons were present who held ropes which were stretched along each side of the line where the sprinters were to run. Hundreds mounted box cars conveniently near. The runners were to have started at 1:30 o'clock, but it was shortly after two when they got off.

After the ropes had been. stretched a great deal of time and trouble was spent in trying to keep the crowd on the outside. Betting was renewed and it was said oyer $5,000 in b6ts were made on the grounds.

Chas. Winebrenner, one of the best known sprinters in the country was present and backed the Casey man. Cross is taller and heavier than Haughn.

The runners entered the path, enclosed with a rope, attired' in suits for the occasion, and immediately began to warm up.

At about 3 minuteB after 2 o'clock they made ready t^ start. After jockeying awhile they finally "broke the handkerchief" over a man I two feet in advance and started. The crowd fairly held their breath. Cross I won in just 1%. seconds. The distance wao seventy-live yards. The crowd yelled itself hoarse.

The winner was hastily hustled into a carriage and driven away. Captain Vandever was referee, but his services were not needed, as Haughn was beaten

about 1% feet.

The only cough mixture before the people, that contaius no opiates or narcotics is Red Star Cough Core. Price, twenty.-five cents.

A preliminary meeting of those interested in the organization of a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals and children was held Saturday afternoon in the Baptist chapel. The meeting was a very enthusiastic one and the gentlemen are determined tbat it shall be a success and are lending their best efforts to accomplish this end.

A copy of the new bill, which is a very lengthy document, was read and discussed to some extent. A committee consisting of Judge Buff, Rev. B. L. Smith and R. L. Alden were appointed to carefully consider the bill and draw up another and more comprehensive one to be presented for the approval of the society at the next meeting, and then to be sent to Indianapolis as a substitute for the one now pending before the state legislature. Rev. B. L. Smith, of the Christian churoh, was eleoted permanent secretary. Rev. Smith was instrumental in the organization of the society and has the success of the society greatly at heart.

Experience vs. Inexperience. It is a matter of regret that in introducing Hood's Sarsaparilla, its proprietors are obliged to overcome a certain distrust by some people who unfortunately bought worthless compounds mixed by persons ignorant of pharmacy. Messrs C. I. Hood & Co. are reliable pharmacists of long experience, aud they make no claims for Hood's Sarsaparilla which cannot be substantiated by the strongest proof. And we say to those who lack confidence, read the unsolicited testimonials in favor of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and then prove its merits by actual test We are confident you will uot be disappointed, but will fitd it a medicine of peculiar curative value, which can be implicitly relied uponv

~rlJfr. Turpie's Certificate of Election/ Yesterday Secretary of State Griffin, Republican, fiually attested the Governor's signature to Mr. Turpie's certificate of election. Gov. Gray on Saturday notified Mr. Griffin that if he did not attest the document by yesterday he would go into the courts to compel him. The Secretary then sought advice from the Attorney-General, also a Republican, who advised him to do it. This therefore completes the' credentials that will be presented.

FATAL AwCIOENT.

A Tarmer' Run Over on the Logan Saturday. Saturday evening about six o'clock an old farmer named Kice was run over op the Logansport road about three miles north of Darlington by the passenger due here at 7:45 o'clock. The man was drank and was lying on the railroad^ track. The engineer., saw '-the obstruction on tne track ^bnt thought it wasp piece of coal or wood. As the train drew neaier he saw that it was a man but could not stop the engine in time. The cow-catcher struck the man on the forehead and rolled him under, crushing the bones of his hip and thigh. He was rolled about five feet when the engine was stopped. He was taken in. the baggage car. He was thought to be dead, but Charley Baur, of this city, who happened to be on the train, examined the body and found tbat he still lived. The injured man was taken to Darlington and a physician summoned, but he died a few minutes after the train left Darlington. The man had been in Darlington all day drinking liquor and iu the evening started to walk to the next station north where he had his horse and buggy. He was about 50 years old and leaves a wife aud two sons,
