BEAUTIFUL FIGHT. There Is a beautiful fight
going on between the editor of the Greensburg Re-
pository, and one Mr. John Trimble. toerably bril-.
liant man, but rather uneducated, if such thing
be possible with wing! The Repository man pub
fishes his letters as they written whereat Mr.
Irmbie piles on to him his abolitionism and other
little wing peccadillOes The war wakes warmer
and warmer; and considering the weather, we think
there is certain danger of explosion The Democrats
look on and laugh considering that when certain peo-
pie fai out another class get their dues. Mr.. T. will
find fight with an editor the almightiest hard fight
ne ever got in, though, however much he may be
wronged.

The State Debt.

Towards the settlement of the immense debt Of the
State of Indiana, all eyes have been turned for
years. While every honest man, of whatever politi
cal party has spuned the idea of repudaton without
stopping to inquire whether the debt has been incurred
by fair or foul means, or by tehom incurred yet did
none until the present Governor conceived the pro-
ect, advance idea towards accomplishing the
object of avoiding that stigma on the State. For
years the State has not paid the interest on her In
debtedness. In Individuals this would be considered
dsgracefu if not dishonest, except under extraordl
nary circumstances; and those extraordinary circum
stances to which alude, have oyertaken the State
Hence contended that her neglect pay not
from wanton desire, but from inability. This inability
but added to the burdens and in the progressive ratio

To obviate these difficulties, know has been a
labor of no little intenseness to Gov Whtcomb. He
had the great of the State affairs to unrave and
place in order "a work of no little labor will be
learned by reference to the first and second reports Of
the present Auditor of State to which we direct espe-
cial attention, that the people may partially learn by

almost entire laboring population The result of his
labor is in the bill Of last winter pointing out the
only a0ay in which the State be relieved from her
burdens, pay her debts, and sustain her credit and
honor. And remember, that this is all done without
increasing the taxes of the people. On the contrary
it will induce thousands who have heretofore made
Indiana bridge TO to the west, and thousands
who had the means, instead Of selling out and seeking
other homes in other States, remain and settle i'm
own fertile and beautiful State. This increase
lessons taxation by giving taxable property and
more labor,-on the principle that " many hands make
light work.

EDMUND PENDLETON GAINES ~

WHAT Is THE PRICE OF WHEAT I've heard an
old farmer, who, by the by, was bank man, ask an
individual some days since, this question, to which
the man replied nothing That is cheap, says the old
man how much will you have at that! it will afford
me fine opportunity to get the means to pay my
extra taxes under this new law. This about put an
end to the conversation between two Wings. We
then accosed the old gentleman, and asked him what
he would have attributed this state of things to- pro-
yidng the old banks had been suffered 90 out of
existence, and no new ones started! Here is your
wheat, corn, hay, &C., which is either sale, or
selling at almost nothing. Now what would you
have attributed this to if we had no banks! Why,
sir, should doubt have attributed 1t to the want
of banks; my prejudices were so strong some months
since in favor of banks and paper money, that it
would have been the first and only thing that would
have attributed it to, without doubt.
Well, sir, what do you think of attributing it to
now! We have some thirty banks in the State, in
full blast, and the Auditor of State says they have
circulation of about FIVE MILLIONS, and your
wheat is worth about forty per bushel when in
1912 there but eight banks, and circulation of
less than TWO MILLIONS, and, at the same time
of the year, your wheat worth from 20 to 80
cents per bushell What is the cause of this!
Well, sir, | must confess that my opinion has
changed about banks in the last three months and
satisfied that it is for the interest of the
that own the banks, than it is for the peoples, that
they ask for the charters.
Oh dear, what strange O. conclusion this Wing
has come 10, after life of over forty years that
bankers ask for charters for their interest
than for the peoples H!-Ohio Press
Pity for the Wings that the tariff had not been re-

A New ISSUE NATIvIsM.-William ID. Baker,
who is recognized leading member of the Native
party in Philadelphia, says in letter to the Sun Of
that city:
"Let the doors of our Native American Associa-
tons be thrown wide open that all may enter, Natives
Irish, Germans Scotch-all who opposed to the
insolent demands of the Court of Rome, as made to
American officers, by the paid emissares of foreign
power"
This proves what ut first asserted, that the
Native party is simply an association Of religious
fanatics.

The REJECTED Ono VOLUNTEERS. = The Wing
candidate for Governor of Ohio, who rejected certain
volunteers because they democrats, and also to
please tie Native American faction, rejected three
German companies, for which he politely chas-
tsed by the Secretary of War, finds himself in rather
a bad fix IN consequence The Advertiser says that
DR.. DUNCAN returned from Washington on Wednes-
day evening, bringing the gratifying intelligence
that those companies rejected by Gov. hartley,
namely, the Cincinnati Greys, Captain O'Donnelrs
company, Cincinnati Guards, Moor's three German
companies and the others-n fact all the men sworn in
will be retained in the service The members of these
companies are called upon to attend at their respect

ORAToRY.-The Cincinnati Advertiser has the fol-
