that it is almost impossible to make laws Of
that character practical by reason of the great
advance made in liberal thought. All the
laws of the State, good or bad, should be
rigidly enforced. If they are good they will
find favor, if they are bad, public opinion will
call for their repeal, but Sunday laws appear
to be imperative except in rural districts, and
their enforcem snt in one community and,vio-
lation in another does not tend to make them
generally operative.

WE noticed an item in an exchange last
week to the effect that Ben Thompson, the
gentleman who added his mite to the reputa-
ton of San Antonio, bad though it was, last
summer, by killing the proprietor of the Vau-
deville theater, had shown of in Galveston
by kindly running" theater there on the
Thompson plan, that is to say, through the
persuasive eloquence Of revolver, but we
didn't believe it, The Print conects the state
ment in the following "a report has OBJ
tanned circulation in the interior that the no.
torious Ben Thompson, while at Galveston,
cleaned out the variety theater by swearing
that he would shoot the last man out of the
building etc., and an interior journal very
kindly suggests that Galveston is almost large
enough TO have policemen. This would all
be very nice but for the fact that the incident
related never occurred"

"what to Do with the Surplus.

kentIanU UaAette.
The tariff is for the protection of American
industries, and cannot be dispensed with.
Then, as the balance of this surplus comes
from the tax on liquors and tobaccos in its
various FORMS the question comes up:
Which is the best policy-to reduce the tax
on these articles which are not necessities,
and cut off this source of a surplus, or con-
tinue these taxes and divide among the
States the surplus accruing from them, and
thereby lessen by more than one-half the
present State taxi We believe the latter will
be the popular thing to do.

The Purity Of the Ballot.

Lebanon PatrlOt.
1t is mere truism to say that no govern
ment can long survive corrupted ballot. 1t
is a deadly poison to national life, sapping its
strength and binding its vision. Let this
insidious foe once gain the complete ascend
Pncy, and our boosted freedom. our vaunted
liberties are mere delusions. 1t is asked
what can be done? The answer is, let men
of all parties, now while party enthusiasm
does not sway the judgment, organize in
every precinct in the county, and let these
organizations enforce the law without fear or
favor.

shelbyrine Republican.

The Republican party of Indiana needs not
worry itself about candidate for Governor.
The thing most necessary is to keep up
good organization in every county, having
everything ready for the contest when the
time comes. The candidates are always
doomed enough, and often at a clear loss, as
the voters of the out townships do not take
much stock in the booming business, espe-
cially when it is done by machine Watch

months, and let the candidates take care of

Consolidate the State Colleges.

Btsuben Republican.
The great trouble in Indiana has always
been that the State has supported, at least
partially, number of so-called colleges in
stead of spending all the money on one, and
making that one university in fact, as well
as in name, creditable to the people and
equal to any in the country in every respect.
That change in policy may soon be inaugu-
rated is our earnest WISH and we feel sure
that if the people could vote directly on the
subject there would be an overwhelming ma
jority in favor of appropriating sufficient
sum of money 10 endow Purdue University
as it should be, placing it in such position
that it would not be dependent on the ca
price of Legislature.

Industrial Education.

Muncie News.
There is no reason why farmers and me-
chanics should not be highly educated. Any
one in any business is the better for an edu-
cation, and the higher the education the
more useful he may be. The error is in the
false estimation which the prevailing atmos-
phere of high-schools and colleges put upon
the labor The notion is inculcated by the
force OF circumstances, if not by the teacher,
that EDUCATION is for the higher and better
classes; that diploma is credential to a
kind of nobility, and that education cannot
be utilized in manual industry. This state of
affairs can be remedied by the introduction
OF industrial pursuits in the schools.

They have in one case been acquitted by the
jury that tried them. but the Judgment Of
the people is not yet convinced that they are
so pure and upright that their word should
be taken to convict General Garfield of dis
honorable action toward them. Dorsey and
Brady seem to be actusted more by malice
than regard for truth in their recent accu-
sations against Garfield.

Government Control of reiegraphs.

The cry for government control Of the tel

In fact one set of cranks is already advocat-

eminent. When those two things are alb
sorbed something else will follow until
finally paternal, or government with a
monarchical principle, will be fastened upon

this it is enjoying under the administration

renewal of every thing that has been most
unpleasant and most injurious in recent

believe that in such an emergency the peo-

We can see no harm in playing base ball on
Sunday. But there is unquestionably harm
in keeping saloons open after IL o'clock at
night. There is unquestionably harm in sell
ing liquor to drunken men and minors. Now
then, if the self-respecting and conscientious
saloon keepers would take part in suppress
ing the demoralizing and harmful features of
the business their calling would be ele-
waited many degrees in the estimation of the
entire people.
