Good Advice from Democratic Organ.
Kolomo Dispatch DEM.
Ii the Democratic majority of the Legisla-
ture are fairly prudent-not to say possessed
OF the wisdom OF the serpeut--they will not
change the law affecting the management Of
the benevolent Institutions Four years ago
the Democracy took this matter out of the
hands of the legislature and gave the ap-
pointing power to the Governor. 1t would
be unwiSe to now degrade these institutions
by any sort OF legislative jugglery. The
benevolent institutions ought TO be as far re-
moved from partisan influences as possible
The Dispatch hopes that the party will not
be committed to this proposed folly. Let
the Democrats be wise, and attempt no such
rapine in the name OF party,

A High License Law.

Rushville Bepublican.
A license law requiring the payment OF
$500 to 81, 900 for the privilege OF selling liq
uors would add more than million of dol
lars every year to the school fund Of Indiana
The prohibition idea appears practically to
be a useless expedient 1t is not a complete
success anywhere, and the people of most of
the States evidently do not want it. Far
better to take a practical course that will re-
suit in regulating the traffic.

Shelbyville Volunteer DEM.
The outlook is now that the present Demo-
cratic majority OF the Legislature is deter
mined to furnish the Republicans all the am
munition they want for 'S4; enough to blow
their opponents sky-high. 1t is certain that
if the time is wasted in partisan wrangles,
winch should be devoted to useful and needed
legislation, Democratic aspirants might as
well hang their harps on a willow tree. 1t is
astonishing how quick fool Legislature can
do the business even for the most promising
of parties

that beau got into a carriage with belle to
escort her home from i ball, at which time
his face was smooth and fair, but when he
emerged his eye was blackened as though by
the blow from a fist, and the girl walked up
the steps of her home alone. Perhaps they
got married in the carriage.

The Double Assessment Offices.

1t is quite probable that the Legislature
will abolish the offices of city treasurer and
assessor and transfer their duties to the cor
responding county officials. The prospects
are, also, that provision will be made for the
payment of city taxes in installments, as
county and State taxes are paid-all of which
measures are in the line of sensible reform.

When came on them one morn:
For thought of the merry little lad.
In the mornings sweet and cool,
If weather was good or weather bad.
Going whistling of to school
NY fingers undid the strap again.
And thought how my hand has changed.
And half In loving, and half In pain.
Backward my memory ranged.
There was the grammar knew so we'll

And the old blue speller-I used to spell
Better than any In school;
And the wonderful geography
I've read on the green hillside,
When told myself I'd surely seq
All lands in the world SO wide,
From the Indian homes In the far, far West
To the mystical Cathay.
Ihaye seen them all. But home Is best
When the evening shades fall gray.
And there was the old arithmetic.

eamped at a spring near the foot Of
Wallace mountain. Wednesday we re-
NAMED at the same point, and the party
made excursions TO the topo Wallace
Mountain, where IL one OF those piles
of rocks which are occasionally found
on tho tops of these peaks, and are said
20 have been used as landmarks by the
Indians.
Thursday morning found us on route
for jacobs Well. The country being
similar TO that already passed over. oc-
cupied but little Of our attention, u
being absorbed by the prior duty OF
keeping dry during heavy shower, as
| Mother Nature seemed intent upon Civ
| ing NV taste OF all sorts Of weather.
But before we reached the Well the
clouds blew away and the sun came out
as we reached the ridge overlooking the
beautiful, magnificent valley OF the
Blanco, which stretches away between
double and triple lines Of terraced peaks
and hills until il is lost in the distance.
Tho Well was soon reached, and called
forth expressions of wonder and admira-
ton from the party, some OF whom ad-
mired il more than the Hole, but /
think it falls far short OF it in grandeur
and beauty. Situated in rocky chan
mel that is dry above it except in times
of freshets, is the circular depression in
the rock, about twelve feet in diameter
and about forty or fifty feet in depth,
out of which comes rushing bold
stream of clear, cold water. The cur
rent is 80 strong that rock thrown in
sinks to the bottom much as a feather
sinks through the air, and so clear that
when the sun is shining into the well q
pin dropped into the water can be dis
tinctly seen until IL reaches the bottom.
The sides of the well are irregular in
form, and beautifully ornamented with
MOSES and pebbles. On one side rocks
overhang the we'll. but on the other the
margin slopes away smoothly, and the
water goes singing and ripping away, a
stream more than hall as large as the
San Marcos river at the town. In the
afternoon most of the excursionists made
the ascent of one of the Twin Sisters.
These sharp, conical peaks rise abrupt
ly out of the Blanco valley and form a
conspicuous object in the landscape from
any OF the ridges overlooking the valley.
Terraced in formation like the ridges,
the terraces are high and narrow and run
entirely round the hills that are COM
pletely round. and the only way TO
make the ascent is to climb straight up
from one terrace to another until you
reach the top. The ascent is very ia
tiguing, but the view from the top is
ample recompense. You seem to be in
the center of IN amphitheater. Hills
blending together in one magnificent
wall, enclosing a varied scene of wood,
plain and river, and farms interspersed
throughout.
