account, did not represent actual receipts
but simply a transfer of accounts. Still, de-
Quoting this, the volume OF treasury opera
of 1878. 1t appears, however, that the
result comes out at about the same
figures when the condition of the
treasury is examined, there being now
on hand S244,2OS rs, against sls5,175 AZ
this time last year, an improvement of nearly
sixty thousand dollars. The smoun of
state revenue reported for 1878 is more than
double that of 1872, or 1891 1903 90, against
1888 a 16. The auditor thinks that the
money on hand will pay the current ex-
penses until the January settlements replen-
ish the treasury. Taking out of the disburse-
ments the amount distributed for school
purposes. which is a mere collection and
redistribution of school taxes, the auditor
puts down the state expenses of the current
year at 81, SIT 81. The last assessment
gives the total taxable property OF
the state as 1906, go. 230, which makes
the expense one and one-third mills on
every dollar of taxables, or a little over one
tenth of one per cent. The report reviews
briefly the condition OF the banks, insur-
ance and railroads. The work of the past
year in regard to properly assessing rail-
road property has been fully noticed in con-
nection with the action of the state board of
equalization last summer. In this closing
work of Auditor Wildman, he alludes to the
feet of his unusual lsbors consequent on
the alterations of the assessment law, and
pays a graceful tribute to the deceased state
officer, Superintendent Hopkins. The full
tables of statistical work in the report, can
not be noticed until their publication.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1874-11-24

1t should not escape the attention of In
d~ianians that at the present time a large part
of the hog crop of this State is crossing the
Ohio into Kentucky to be packed there for
southern consumption. Within the past
week several parties from Louisville have
been in the city In pursuit of hogs. Among
these was the head man of one of the largest
and richest packing houses in Louis
Vile. He came to the state, not to
see if he could buy hogs nor
a + what price he could buy them, but he
came to buy hogs and said he was going to
have them. The L., n. A. & G. railroad is
doing a heavy business, for that road, in
shipping porkers to New Albany, a large
part of which 60 directly across to Louis
vile. Why this imperative demand from
that point? Simply because that is the
gate to the Southern market, which
must and will have pork,
and has the money to pay for it. Corn and
pork, the great staples of Indiana, always
bring a good price south of the Ohio. Yet
all our shippers look East, all our lines of
transportation run east, and we ignore the
richest opportunities for a sure and remun-
eratiye market, which by virtue of position
is the legitimate field of Indiana.
Louisville is across the river, and
apparently more effectively isolated from
our trade than London 5000 miles across the
Atlantic. Louisville is rich and growing
richer as the emporium of the southern
trade. She is very quiet about it and self
satisfied. No complaints are heard from her
merchants about hard times and bad col
lections. Few, if any failures are reported.
She pays little attention to the
north side of the river unless, as now, in a
scarcity of some staple necessary to her trade
she raids Indiana for supplies. There is the
place to which Indiana products should go
instead of New York. There are two
obstacles. First, direct transportation
into the cotton states, and secondly,
a better understanding between the two
sections. II looks now as if the democratic
party may find itself in a position to do
something to promote the latter object be-
fore long. No better work can engage its
attention than preparing the way for such
commercial relations between the north and
south as shall be mutually beneficial to both
SootiOns

and Il. V. r., of the Cincinnati Commercial.
The latter declares of the colored people in
Tennessee that they are beginning to think
that it will be well to make friends among
the people of their own state, rather than
depend any longer upon support from the
North, where public opinion Is liable to
such a sudden revolution. They WILL, there
fore vote the democratic, ticket as a measure
of prudence and Cancellation. The latter
declares in regard to the negroes in Texas:
The general apathy felt about the election
was something surprising. but il showed one
thing very plainly-that we must not count on
the colored vote. Here in San Antonio, where
so much has been done for the negro in the way
OF schools, where the firmest friends of the negro
reside, very few voted at all, and of To ose voters
Inc great majority deposited democratic ballots.
We can have the colored vote so long as we are
supreme and no longer. The democrats here talk
of the colored man having found out the carpe.-
Dagger. and say that he has Termed where his
true interests lie. / will not discuss either posi-
ton, but 1T seems to me that the fact is not so,
mat tne negro vote belongs TO the conqueror.
will the negro vote fall over. 1t has 10 stability
In itself, and is simply so much ballast which
rolls naturally TO the victorious side. Some one
has declared that republics are always migrate
full. think that those who have warred for an
idea Will always meet with ingratitude. 1t is
fortunate for us that we freed the negro out of
regard 10 a high principle, because If we expect
any gratitude at his hands we shall certainly be
disappointed.
If this estimate, made by the trusted CORES
pendent of the foremost republican paper of
the country, be a sound one, it contains in
itselfs striking commentary on the useless
ness of all political trickery in the long run.
1t establishes beyond a doubt that when the
reconstruction policy was framed to put "a
vast and ignorant mass OF the population in
the hands of the party in power, it simDly
insured the absolute supremacy of the oppo
siiion throughout the South for years to
come. They play 3 desperate game who en-
deavor to shape national issues in the inter
ests of narrow ideas and for the sake of
ephemeral triumphs.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1874-11-24

An abstract is presented to the people of
Indiana tnis morning, showing them once
more the financial status of the Common
wealth. 1t is derived from the last report
of the present State Auditor, the Hon.
James A. Wildman. He has COM
pleted the document and placed it
in the hands of the printers, and
the essential features of the subject-matter
are embodied in the abstract given. The
form in which the various funds appear and
the sources whence they are derived are
familiar to the public BYE, even if the actual
history and condition of each fund is not un-
derstood except by a very few. By this report
the apparent value OF the funds passing
through the treasury is less by nearly a mill
lion and a qusrter of dollars than was shown
by the official report of 1873. A partial ex-
PLANTATION Is made, in the last years report,
