Lebanon Pioneer: 4 notice of reduction
of wages was posted in the Greencastie Iron
and Nail Factory yesterday to take effect at
once. High protection ought to have pre-
vented this II protection protects.
Angola Herald: If the Office of County
Superintendent Of Schools is to pe made a
permanent ore, the KendalIvilIe News fsyors
making it an elective Office. We rather
doubt the propriety OF bringing oar local
school government into the popular political
scramble more than it now is.
Lebanon Pioneer: If the United States
owes General Grant any money he ought to
be paid. Because he is a financial failure
the Government ought not to sup
port him IN elegance. Ii is not according to
American principles to make n retired list
ct aristocrats to be kept by the General Gov
eminent.
Wells County Democrat: The most reli.
able statistics obtainsble by Brsdstreets' cor
respondents in all parts of the country indi-
cate that there are over two millions of Ia
borers now out of employment in this coun-
try. Via a monument TO the infsmy of
our lawmakers, who encourage such a con.
dition of things.
Hancock Democrat: There are more idle
men in Greenfield to-day than has ever been
known in Its history. Bat how could it be
otherwise when it is considered that we are

young lady and help her toward an asylum.
Laporte Argus: The indications point to
The election of Charles Jewett to the Speaker
chip of the Indiana House of Representa-

gentleman, and would prove himself an
honor to any position which the Democracy
can give him. He is a brilliant represents.
tive OF the young and progressive Democracy
and for these reasons we would like to see
him elected to the Speakership.
Attlca Ledger: The Kokomo, Burlington
and Western Road seems 10 be an assured
fact. James McCarty, contractor for the
Grading, was in the city last Saturday. He
has commenced work at Kokomo and has
several miles OF grading done, employing up
wards OF fifty men. Most of the right of way.
with several don atoms, have been secured
from kokomo to Lafayette. Between these

Decatur News: William D. II. Hunter, of
the Lawrenceburg Register, is a candidate
for the Collectorship of this, the Sixth. Dis
trict. The Fourth Congressional District
should have this appointment, as it pays a
majority OF all the Internal Revenue tax
in fact pays about three fourths of it. We
