contribute TO the general expenses of
the State and municipal governments as they
are in number of other States all around
Indiana? The State needs money, the coun-
ties need money, the cities need money. Real
estate is practically taxed out of the market,
and personal property is made to hide itself
away under perjury, while the liquor traffic
stalks defantly abroad, wasting at MONDAY and
a pestilcnce by night owning the Democratic
party in feesimple, and sending politicians
and bummers into an ague whenever it
opens its bloated mouth. This state
of affairs will not always last.
There should be such swelling
tide of opinion for high license roll up from
all quarters of the State that even this mis-
cradle, trucking, whisky-sodden Legislature
would be compelled to heed it. High license
is the demand of the times; it is necessity to
preserve the State from moral and financial
bankruptcy.

1T is pretty generally conceded that DR..
Collett will be superseded as State Geologist.
The silurian and carboniferous strata of the
State seem in harmony with DR.. Collett and
so, also, are men of science throughout the
United States; but the call for a geological
cataclysm comes from the deeps of Democ-
racy, and Governor Gray will be compelled to
yield. A host of smalffry are after the posi-
ton; poets pseudo scientists, spiritualists and
surface skimmers confident that they were
born for the place. We wish to suggest to
the Governor and Legislature that geolo-
gsts are born, and not made by appointment.
The three last annual reports, with their maps
and special scientific researches, will stand as
a monument for the present Geologist for all
time. Prof. Collects success has been as an
enthusiast and an organizer None but such
a worker could have procured the aid, almost
free to the State, of such names in American
geology as Edward Cope, James Hall, DR..
White and Leo Lesquereux. Under DR.,

Collect has many friends of both parties, in
the Legislature, aud it remains to be seen
whether they will make any liberal appropri-

bring this branch up to the level of sister
States is to be deposed. Mr.. Collett is max
ing no effort to continue himself he does not
need the Office; it rather needs him. The
large private collections he has made of Indi-

THE communication printed in the Journal

able production in some respects, and in itself
served toemphasize the necessity for thorough
and searching investigation into the charges
made against his administration in the
suit brought by Mr.. L. T. Kitchener,
and which was the provocation for the
editorial remarks which called forth the card
We have no possible prejudice against Mr.
Fertich but the temper and tenor of his letter

allude to the father of little girl, who is
alleged to have severely suffered in her person

and cruel enforcement of a rule, as
"a paid attorney" is simply execrable. But
beyond and outside of this there is not, from
one end of the letter to the other, single ex-
preston of regret at an occurrence which,
though possibly justified by the letter of a
rule adopted and enforced by the honor
able men whom he names, is none the less
pitiable, and reprehensible if purposely
occasioned, and which should have been
promptly atoned for, as well as
may be, if it was unwilling. Of course the

THE credentials of Senator elect Evarts, when
received at Washington, were found to be COM
plete and comprehensive, with the single and
rather important exception that tho certificate
of his election was lacking. Governor Hill,
Clevelands successor was charged with being
responsible for the omission, and he has been re-
ferred to as chump, or even something worse,
by indignant statesmen. Governor Hill comes
to his own defense by stating that the Legisla-
ture does not understand his status, and is try
ing to ignore him by dong executive business
itself. He further adds that the certificate is
being prepared. and will be sent on its way
presently. Inasmuch az the New York Legsla-
ture had a Governor before Hill had the office,
the inference naturally is that the lawmakers
are not likely to be so ignorant of the respective
duties of the two divisions of the State govern
ment as the new incumbent The ''chump" YER
dict will have to stand until further develop
ments are made.
