IT is stated that the reason actuating Bis
marck in the return of the IIasker resolution
is to solidify himself with his people at home
by fomenting bitterness between America
and Germany, and thus distract attention
from the unpopularity of the Bismarckian
government with the liberty-loving Teutonic
people. If this be the true motive what a
neat checkmate to the Chancellor it would be
for the United States to maintain its dignity
and manhood refuse to pinch the eagle till its
screams reach Berlin, or to execute a war
dance in the two houses Of Congress. The
bitterest enemy of Bismarck could not wish
for more humiliating eventuation of this
incident" out of which the willy but AFRO
CANT Prince hopes to make so much capital for
himself and for the oppressive system of gov
eminent he represents.
Suppose Bismarck intended the return of
the resolution as a snub and insult to this
country, through 1.-the illustrious House of
Representatives." Is the United States ready

advocated and represented by making the
bOorishness of Bismarck casus belli? The of
Tending resolution is in the hands of the Ger
man minister, who will, doubtless, send it to
the Secretary of State who in turn, may for
ward it to the House of Representatives for
their action. We are content to await the
orderly course of events--to keep both temper
and powder dry-and if it be determined to
teach Bismarck lesson in good manners as
well as to give him an mixing of the power of
the United States when 'the illustIious House
of Representatives" speaks if it be that only
six out of the three hundred and twenty-five
members cared enough for the matter to give
it any attention originally, we shall be heart
lily in favor of war to the knife and the knife
to the hilt. But even with this fearful pos
sibility in the future, it is better to get mad
slowly and clear through, Then the passion
stays and amounts to something. The theat-
rical spasm, sudden, and ignorant, and blind,
seldom amounts to much It is soon done for,
and the wonder only remains what in the
world it was begun for.

treasurer the land having first been offered at
the public tax sale and not sold for want of bid

enormously advertised as lot two, when it

not been placed on the tax duplicate. By this

date of sale The personal property tax OF a
mortgageor remains lien against the land

the courts remove cloud from title to prop

thereon, else they have no standing in court

POLITICAL NOTE AND GOSSIP.

Mr.. HAYEs's announcement that he is out of
politics has provoked Il mammoth smile.
The Tilden and Hendricks Club of San Fran
cisco, Cal, has refused, after a full discussion.
to change its name to the Grand Central Demo
cratic Club of California.
THE many friends of John NJ Higgs. of the
Connersville Examiner are DESTROYS that he
make the race for Reporter of the Supreme
Court before the coming Democratic State con
ventiOn.
IN the report of the Hendricks county Repub
lican mass meeting John Morgan was named as
a delegate to the State convention. The name
of Milton Phillips should have been substituted
for Morgan
THE Hon. Il. w. Thompson, of Terre Haute,
and Judge Taylor. of Fort Wayne are FIRE
quently mentioned as proper persons to elect as
delegates from the State at large to the national
Republican convention.
THE chairman of the Michigan Greenback
State committee says that Governor BeGole must
be renomnated for he is the only man they can
elect. AS the Democrats seem to be well salts
fed with his administration and with him as a
man.
S. B. SrURBS of Fairbury, Ia, who was the
Greenback candidate for Governor in that State
in 1877. polling larger vote than Weaver did a
year ago believes that if the Democrats noml-
nate Butler for President they can carry Iowa
without any trouble.
DIX. EMIL PREToRIUS, editor of the St Louis

of this administration. The time has
passed when the Republican party
can be benefited by covering up anything, or
by failure to do what is palpably right The
strength Of the Republican party rests solely
in its power and disposition to give the people
efficient and economical government. When
it fails to do this it fails in its highest and
best purpose We know the party desires
that its agents shall do this in
this city and county. The journal
proposes to assist in the work by
showing up weaknesses and wrongs of system
and errors of administration, and by giving
strong and effective backing to the commits
sioners in the most stringent measures to lop off
all the excrescences, which have been per-
mitted to grow upon faulty and inefficient
system under Republican and Democratic con
troll alike. If there is nothing wrong in any
of the allowances no one can be hurt. AT
any rate the publication will go forward.

touch directly upon government, and no
election is so unimportant as to warrant any
citizen remaining away from his ward or
precinct meeting. In this year, particularly,
it is of the greatest necessity that good start
be made. The Republicans must make a
township ticket of the election of which there
can be no doubt, and to do this the whole
body of the party must be fairly represented
Besides this the primaries tonight have the
selection of other delegates whose duties will
be of the most influential character upon the
future of the party.

THE Sentinel has rather an unusual case of
blind staggers. Iii reply to an item in the
Kokomo Gazette, it says: 'Mr. Brown is not
the president of the school board, and MI.
Brown never told anybody that the history of
the war should not be taught" The Sentinel
should acquire an access Of information before
it essays to correct anyone or to deny any
thing. Austin II. Brown is the president of
the school board, and Professor Mills publicly
asserts that Mr. Brown said it would not be
wise to teach the part Of history in question,
because teachers were not always judicious i'll

ment is divided This remark being repeated
by Mr.. Mills to Mr.. Tarbe, it was accepted
as conclusive and the suppression of the his

THERE need be no alarm felt that the office
of sheriff, or any other Office in the city or
county, will be left vacant in the event that
illegal and extravagant allowances are stopped.
We feel so sure that good men can be found
to fill all these places, and be perfectly content
with the legal and proper fees and allowances,
that we would be quite willing to give an
indemnity bond to the commissioners, if they
become in any wise fearful The idea that a
sheriff, or any other officer, declines to accept
a second term because of inadequate compen-
sation may do to tell the marines, but will
not have any influence with the taxpayers,
who see the wholesale way in which their
money is spent

ANNE PETIT lthe paradoXical name of fat
woman" in New York city has brought suit for
s., 900 damages against the proprietor Of It
scum there the ground that she had laid out
certain sums for show dresses and had thrown
up soft snap as a childs nurse at a month
and board. The item about dresses is reasona-
bic enough but how in the world is 'fat
woman" to dress respectfully on 81 a month?
And what earthly good would she be as a chids
nurse! TO say nothing of the mmnont danger
of the child being laid on and smashed out as
fiat as postage stamp, how could a child hope
to cope with fat woman! Without plans and
specifications, and, unless guide boards be set mp
at intervals over the animated territory repre-
scented by the body of the fat woman, how would
a child be enabled to make its way back from
the out townships in the region of the feet Of
such a nursel Or, suppose such nurse should
try to ride q child upon her back
and the child should slip by reason
of not being able to get hold on the nurses
neck, who is to pay damagcsl This fat woman S
claim is chmerical no one ever hired her as
nurse, and $4 month, besides the expense to
keep her, would bankrupt even plumber. AS for
the dresses. let the manager of the museum sell
them for circus tents, and let the court dismiss
the case. Very fat women should not be en-
couraged.
