THE STATE PRESS.
Our Warsaw correspondent informs the
Sentinel that Dan Hamlin, ex-sherif of
Kosciusko county, in company with gen.
tleman from Chicago. caught . pickerel in
Center lake, near Warsaw, Tuesday. that
measured four feet and nine inches in
length, and weighed q pounds We regard
the story as somewhat ishy.
The Knightstown Banner says:
There seems to be a lack somewhere on the
part of patrons OF our public schools. There

| of these are permitted to lounge about In idle
young mind. and it Is = pity that any child in
| the community should be deprived or the
raeiiie eS OF acquarpg s S e6n
and guardians to this important matter. Fill
| up the schools.
This same complaint comes from other
portions of the State. 1t is u shame to have
| children lettering about towns in idleness
! when good schools are open to receive them.
Penitentiaries thrive from such fruit.
TIE Michigan City Enterprise ssye:
The Ohioans have given our Voorhees, the
finishing touch by calling him the "vocabu-
Yes, its richness IS in its nonsense There

| Indianapolis Journal thinks as you do, or
vice versa. II you mean 'Vocsbulist" Mr..
! Voorhees, keeps on hand an assortment OF
words that makes the Radical party howl

Read one of his speeches and make note of
| the operation. 1t is interesting.
Toe mixed schools question, which has
| been agitating our Princeton, Ind, friends
| for long time seems to have been settled,
according to the following, from the Prince
| ton Democrat
1t was the school board that finally removed
the colored children from the while schools.
On Monday County Superintendent Sttlwell
transferred the colored children from the
| white to the colored school buildings. By Or
| der of the school trustees the colored children
on Tuesday morning returned and took their
| seats in the white schools. Superintendent
Stillwell again visited the schools, and ordered
| them to go to the coOred school where he had
assigned Them but they refused to do so, stat
ing that they had orders from the board of
trustees to remain in the white schools. Upon
attorneys for the petitioners commenced get.
ting up the necessary papers to bring the mat.
ter before the circuit court, which was then in
session, and had the necessary papers partly
| prepared, when DIR. MunfoId, president OF the
school board, called upon one OF the attorneys
and Informed him that the colored children
would be Withdrawn from the white schools
that "wednesday morning by the trustees.
| When thus Informed OF the purpose OF the
school board In the matter, legal proceedings
granted at they had asked Of the school trus n

The Shelby Democrat hits the News of
this CITY. a timely rap as follows:
The Indianapolis News boasts very loud of
being a truly Independent newspaper, and
| feltcitates itself upon IT'S ability to say smart
things a6on1 both OF the parties r During lIl
/ stance, 1t makes some little show OF fairness,
but at the right time it wheels into line and
does hard work for the Republican party. 1t
| is now greatly troubled for fear the next DEM
| ocratic Congress will unseat Orth, OF venezu-
ella fame and give his seat To McCabe, the
| legally elected member, and says If the Demo-
Gratis should commit so great an outrage 1t
deserves 10 be buried for all time to come.
Yes, and it was among the first papers in
| 1876 to denounce Orth and demand his with
| drawal from the Republican State ticket,
because of his corruption. The ''independ-
encs" of the News is q sort of joke here in
| this city. The tact is that Mr.. McCabe has
an HRdeEbtedly good case. and can easily
oust ofth il he wishes to do SO. The proc.
| of the swindie is said to be overwhelming.
| The Franklin Democrat has been inter
viewing q porkpacker Of that interprising
little city az follows:
"At what figure will hogs start out In the
! coming season?" we asked.
| I believe they will bring q better price than
| last year. My reasons for this belief are that
the old stock OF meats is going on ~ at better f
side meats, which to-day sch ct an advance OF

But another fact, which will tend TO reduce
this deficit, and thus modify the price to some m

SON here will open at from s. to 1850 per hum

The South Bend Herald puts an important
matter very tersely as follows:
When you hear any Republican blatherskite
boasting about the resum ption act passed by
, his party, ask him II he knows of single ban Z
in the United states taas Is compe,hied by tina
checks and deposits In gold and silver, O
either. That will settle the question OF re

cratic policy of stopping further CONT action o
q the paper currency, the retiring OF greenback

+ tue restoration OF the silver currency pro
rendered a paper dollar as good as gold o
# silver dollar; and the Republican party sttrib
q reality there has been no resumption of speci
payments as the result OF that act.
. The Lagrange Standard saws:
Schuyler Colfax, Ia a fair address, In lows
last week. took the ground that no State hs
the right to hire out the labor Of its convicts
= ruinously low prices, and thus bring them int
70 direct competition with honest wages of tn
o laboring classes. That the State should nc
