out OF organic trace, is the Courier OF Evans

Within the past two days the greatness Of

bvtwo public sales at auction in Northern

Of Mr.. C. e. Parks, at Glen Flora farm, near
Waukegan. A large number of fine cattle
were sold at high figures, some going as
high as s., $50, the sale footing up -. $50.
But the stunning sale for the West took
place yesterday at Dexter Park, where
seventy>nine animals sold fer stet .6f5.
bsirg an snprecedented average
of over sl,2s6. Buyers were on
the ground from all over the Union ard one,
Mr.. George Robbins, from England. He
made the notable purchase of the sale, paying
$4,000 for bull, the Duke of Hillhurst, the
largest sum ever paid for bull in this coun-
try, probably. So the Juror for fancy stock
has not yet subsidized, and the short-horns
are the royal race. This herd sold ct Chicago

Without the exact figures at hand on
which to base an exact statement, it may be
assumed in general terms that Indiana has
the best record of freedom from railroad dis
asters of any state. Considering the Inn.
mense net work of roads crossing her terri
tory in all directions and that the travel and
commerce OF the continent pass over it on
seven great thoroughfares, the number OF
serious casualties must be in exceedingly
small ratio - the trains run. A
few fatal accidents may be called to
mind, notably one last fail on the
Junction road caused by the fallen trees.
But in that no passengers were hurt, only
two brave officers being killed. But take
the complete record of the number of trains
and travellers and it will be found that the
railway travel within the borders of this
state, for safety, is strong vindication of
the care and efficiency with which the bust
ness is managed and proof Of the excel
lence Of the management of the Indiana
roads. E 1t is likely the public are
scarcely conscious how much conf
dence they feel in the competency
of railroad men. without confessing it to
themselves, they generally regard the man
ayers of railroads as among the ablest and
foremost of business men, which in fact they
are. But even going outside of Indiana's
good fortune and judging from the absence
of any great railroad disasters for some time
past, there has been a marked improvements
in the conduct OF American rail-
roads. During that period of criminal
lour xuhf hmm 7ro<7c
of lives were lost, our system of railroad
management was subjected to many severe
criticisms by the press, and its deficiencies
and criminal neglect were most hnmiliata
ingly compared to the European railroads
end especially to those of England. These
general and popular discussions have un-l
doubtedly done much to improve the con-
duct of railroads, and to-day they will COM
pare favorablyo with any European
railroads, Indeed, the highly praised Eng.
lish railroad management seems to have,
fallen into a strange experience of fatality
since, during the last month, inogless than
sixteen railroad accidents occurred in that
country, Whether This peculiar Interchange
of experience is simply acoincidence or not,
is difficult to say; but that the general rail-
road management of this country
has greatly improved within the last
few wears cannot be doubted, while along
with increased safety there has been COM
slant improvement in the conditions OF
comfort and convenience In railroad cars as
is evidenced by the late Introduction of the
Pullman cars into England and France. So
that at the present time, American railroads
may be said TO be superior in every respec.
to those of any other nation.

Being at some distance away and doubt
less without careful thought, the winamac
Democrat drops this rather harsh remark
concerning the exposition: O aoa1ses0
The big exposition at Indianapolis will en-
deavor to secure the usual amount of gratuitous
advertising in the country papers Throughout
the state during the coming summer: AS a rule,
these exhibitions are gotten up for the sole pur-
pose oil putting money in the pockets Of the
stock holders without regard to the interest OF
state at large. HE Ia faIf.rr -.
Both Of these assumptions are destitute OF
a particle OF basis in truth. In the first
place, the state board have made arrange
ments to pay tor their advertising precisely
as any other business pays. They will use
their discretion as to the amount of adyer-
Using done, but will undoubtedly endesvor
to make all reading people acquainted with
the attractions of The exposition. The COM
plants ofthe country press which were some
what general last year, will not have any
just ground for repetition this year. Let that
be under-tood. If the old croakings are
heard from anv quar:er they will be unsus-
tanned by good reasons. As to the second
allegation, the property of the state board
ofagriculture is not the stock of : corporation
operated for the benefit of stockholders. 1t
is true that several public-spirited gentle
men last year took a large amount of stock in
the deficits Of the exposition and paid them
out of their private funds There are also
some debts remaining to be paid. The
managers will consider themselves happy if
this great school OF industry can be made
self-supporting by the, strictest business
oversight and economy. ANY. insinuations
of personal advantage 20 any person except
such as are furnished with employment is
doing the board great injustice. 1t is
devoutly 10 be hoped di that no
such malignant passions will be manifested
from any quarter this year. The state board
of agriculture is. composed of q body of men
selected from Indians's best citizens and en-
tire ~ outside Of Marion county. The object
for which they are organized, and to which
they devote great amount Of time. careand
labor, is the promotion of successful indus
try, and thereby the prosperity of the state.
What they have done already in a history Of
twenty-two years, is an overwhelming
justification Of their efforts. No true
friend OF the state Of Indiana, of her people
and her prosperity Will be found casting a
straw IN their way from any sordid preju-
dice or selfish interest. 1t will he time
enough to raise objections when they have
been found in any point unfaithful to their
trusts, or corrupt in management. But up
to this date no such charge can be made.
Probably il will be some time before there
will be occasion for it,. '1nn. 8gnifra

That "third term" talk won't be laughed
down. Absurd as it may seem, the convic-
ton is growing that z"third term'' will be
the rallying fortress of the next campaign.
Until within few weeks the thing seemed
an absurdity. If it depended upon the re-
publican party alone, 1t would be
an absurdity always, but curionsly
enough, there are uncounted W con-
ditions and unexpected transitions
of personages and sentiment, which, give
the strongest probability to the growth of
an effort to put on General Grant the unpre-
cedented triumph of third reign. With
party lines rigidly drawn, and the odium
of all its unspeskable sins upon 1t,
such thing could not be dreamt OF as a
possibility. AS things stand, Nth

and the other eager for resur-
