Secretary Schurz presents a very
scusfofv focu concerning the mUuU UI
government advertising. /. e.-to take
bids from the various newspapers,
and let official advertising to the low
est bidder. This would be the fair
thing to do with all official advartis-
ing, even to our county and township
advertising. The idea that ito the
victors belong the spoils" has grown
to q great evil, and it is high time
the system Of robbery carried on in
this way should be abated. The pub
lie advertising and printing should be
carried on in the same way that a
good business man would do the same
in the conduct Of his own business.
Any plan that will not admit OF this
Is fraud. Hundreds of dollars might
be saved to the taxpayers of Mar.
shall county, II the county advertis-
ing and public printing were let to
the lowest bidder, instead OF being
given to the concern that happens to
be the organ Of the dominant party.
Lot the taxpayers of Marshall county
post themselves on this matter, they
may find q plan to save themselves
many dollars in the way of taxes.

To the Editor of The Republican.
SIR:-I noticed an article over the
signature Eugene, in The REpuBLI-
CAN OF February 22d, in which the
writer says, "one Of our teachers in
Polk township was found guilty Of an
assault and battery, and fined 50, for
trying to raise the illiterate to high
or grade in mental and moral educa-
tion.' This, I say, is positively false;
he was not fined for trying to @raise
the illiterate" to a higher grade, but
>.-<s.~v0ueru ryJso--vutvfrfuy nOTu or,
and jerking the illiterate from the
high position he occupied on his seat,
to position on the floor, in a rough,
rude and insolent manner. But it may
be that @Engane" was raiaed to tho
high position he now occupies by be-
lag jerked In like manner. and that
he thinks that kind of treatment the
best to raise the moral intellect.

Judge Fuller is the champion matri.
monial spllcer. We are disposed to be-
lieve that he would go into the byways
and hedges and compel the young men
and maidens to get married. Last week
he took young couple from the street in
to A. B. Cofey's store on LaPorte street
and made them one in due and approved
style. The Judge" firmly believes that
1t is not good for man, or woman, to be
alone. Some people agree with him, but
Judge Keith's divorce records show that
some are of the contrary opinion.

The LsPorte Argus discussing the
report made by the legislative CON-
niittee concerning the management
OF the Northern Prison severely de-
nounces the committee as a worthless,
lazy and Incompetent set Of men. 1t
claims that the prison fare il good
and wholesome, and that the manage
ment IL fair In every respect. Il urges
that the committee came to the prison
for the purpose OF ferreting out mis-
management and that, it resolved it's
self into q star chamber session to
examine convicts concerning treat
ment of the prisoners. The men were
Of the worst character. and no reli-
ancs whatever could be had In what
they stated. TIE REPUBLICAN has no
means of knowing whether the Argus
speaks correctly or not, but we may
say that we have no faith In any COM
mittee that attempts to accomplish
anything in a sneaking, snderhand
way. Any investigation that win not
bear the light Of day during Its pro-
gress, is likely to be q fraud. But we
have no right to expect anything bet
ter from q committee appointed by
the "fool legislature, and stand ready
to believe the worst charges made by

The Albion Nesc Era wants to know
il there Is any good sense In shipping
Indiana walnut and poplar lumber
to other states to have it worked up.
No, there Is no good sense in 1t, but
then who will erect the factories to
work it up here at home?-This Is
the unanswerable conundrum. It
would unquestionabiy be to The In
terest Of our people to have our tim
Der worked up at home, and manu-
facturers would have the freights for
additional profits il they would go to
work here with their machinery. The
question Is what other inducements
have we to offer to them, IL any?
They will flrd cheap lands elegant
railroad facilities. q near market
and many other advantages. An ef-
fort to secure manufactures of differ
emit kinds might prove beneficial, and
II some can be procured. In addition
to what We now have it would vastly
benefit the country.

Aspecimen Of the work of our as
sembly ef asses, called the legislature,
Is found in the passage OF a law re-
curing the addition Of few columns
on the county tax duplicates SO that
the delinquent taxes might be charged
up without the aid Of another book.
County auditors usually buy their tar
duplicates two or three years In ad-
vance of the time OF using them, and
the supply now on hand is worth one
hundred thousand dollars to the tax
payers, yet the law was made to take
effsctfrom the time of its passage and
Blue Jeans signed 1t. This costs the
tax payers Lot only the one hundred
thousand dollars already invested in
tax duplicates, but it now turns out
that some sharper has a copyright Of
the new form. and the State will have
to pay fifty thousand dollars more
than the books are worth to get the
use Of them. 1t is blessing that the
fool legislature can only assemble
once In two years, and 1t would be .
bonanza to the tax payers II 1t were
altogether abolished.
