vented this If protection protects.
Angola Herald: If the Office OF Counts
Superintendent of Schools is to be made 8
permanent one, the Kendallville News fAvors
making it an elective Office. We rather
doubt the propriety OF bringing our local
school government into the popular political
scramble more than it now is.
Lebanon Pioneer: II the United State:
owes General Grant any money be 0u ,ht to
be paid. Because he is fnsncia. failure
the Government ought mt to sup
port him in elegance. 1t is no according to
American principles to maze a retired list
OF aristocrats to be kept by the General Gov
eminent

cate that there are over two millions of la.
borers now out OF employment a this cOun-
try. What g monument % Tho infamy 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 Ii is considered that We are
at the tail end of q sixteen year rule OF the
Republican party, whose purpose and prac-
tice il was TO help the rich and let the poor
take care OF themselves.
Hancock Democrat: Fashionable young
ladies of the East are giving up their pug
dogs for the Maltese cat. When young lady
goes shopping she carries her cat under her
arm. having gilt chain fastened to its gold
collar. A clipped horse tail on her forehead.
twO-foot hustle behind and Maltese cat
under Der arm, ought to set of an average
young lsdy and help her toward al asylum.
Leporte Argus. The indicstions point to
the election OF Charles JeWett 70 the Speaker
ship OF the Indiana House Of Representa-
tivts. Mr.. Jewett IS an able and scholarly
gentleman, and would prove himself an
honor 20 any position which ths Democracy
can give him. He is a brilliant representa-
tive of the youne and progressive Democracy
and for these reasons We would like to see
him elected to the Speakership.
Evansville Courier: Mr. James G. Carlton,
of Bedford, IS a candidate for PinCiPat
Clerk Of the House Of Representatives. Mr..
Carleton is a capable man, and ono Of the
best Democrats in the State. He has always
been cheerful and valuable worker in the
party snd II he should win the place, we
may re sure he will perform the duties OF
the Office very well,
AtlIcs Ledger: The Kokemo, Burlington

with several donations, have been secured
from KokOmO 20 Lafayette. Between these
two points, in Carroll county, it crosses the
Vandalis and Air Line Roads
Bedford Banner: We learn from a beautiful
card presented to as containing the names
OF eli the Democratic members OF the In
disna House of Representative. that our
fellow-townsman, James @. Carlton, will be
a candidate Tor Clerk of the House at its en-
suing session. MIR. Carlton is a gentlaman
possessing fine business qualifications; a
good reader; possesses strong voice, and is
q true Democrat, and would make q first
class officer in that place, and as all know
who have served IN the Legislature that
these qualifications are very important in
that officer. We hope TO see him succeed.
Michigan City Dispatch: Blaine's insolent
and slanderous letter Withdrawing the libel
suit seaiDst the Indianapolis Sentinel was
so offensive to the Republican Judge that be
instructed Blsine's attorneys 10 strike his
letter from their reasons for asking for dis
missal OF the action against the Sentinel, 80
that this uDgentlemanly, malicious and cal
luminous letter might not appear upon the
records of the District Court OF Indiana.
This IL would seem ought TO take much OF
the conceit out of Blaine as a letter writer
and indicate to him the contemptibleness OF
his coWardly attack upon the courts Of in
diane.
Charlottesville Review: The more our
Republican neighbors survey the fatal wall
only / JAG feet high, with which the fatss
fenced out Blaine and fenced in Cleveland,
the sicker and ssdder they are. They must
try and acquire a broader sense CT Christian
resignation. They will find 1t very chasten-
ing when they once get used 10 it. 1t was in
hat lr-ho ahe ff~ rfv
became so pure aud wise and noble that the
De opIe at last decreed its elevation TO 20 yer.
When our good friends have Inundated
themselves in sackcloth and ashes for Fifty
OF hundred years. they. too. may at last
be deemed worthy to rule again.

for the Collectorship of this, the Sixth. Dis

see no good reason why the Collector should

under the present administration. Dear

fact of paying the taxes, and we see no rea
