WITH all the talk about prohibition in At
lanta the sale Of liquor has never been discon-
tinued there owing to the fact that several
State licenses permitting whisky to be sold by
the quart if not drunk on the premises had
not expired at the time the prohibitory local
option law went into effect. It is estimated
daily by this method, and as the licenses have
expired one by one the business has become
more and more Of monopoly, until it is actu-
ally such, but single house now having the
legal right to make such sales The prohibi-
tionists of the city are anxiously looking for
ward to the expiration Of the last license at
the end Of this month, and claim, reasonably
enough, that not until after that event has
occurred can the new law be said to have gone
into effect or its results be properly judged.
The enthusiasts in the temperance work are
counting upon keeping the So, 097 which is
daily wasted for liquor in the city. upon the
theory that the men who spend it will invest
their savings for the benefit of their families
when no whisky can be bought Doubters,
and not all Of them anti temperance people by
any means, are inclined to believe that the
men who would drink under the restrictions
and difficulties of the past three months will
drink anyway, and will send to other towns
for means to crafty their tastes. The pro
hibitory law, however, seems likely to be
given a fair trial and the theories Of both sides
to be tested in more decisive way than is
often the case where regulations of this nature
are attempted to be enforced.

Hon. S. S. Cox, minister to Turkey, is

he would 60 back or not would depend on the
result of this mission. In the meantime he
had not resigned. AS it is generally under
stood that Mr.. Cox's purpose in returning is
to secure another office nearer home this
statement in regard to his resignation is
superfuous. He is not the kind of reformer

whilst the volume of traffic has continuously

remembered that for half of the previous year
the cable rates were fifty cents per word, with

by tho foregoing statement there was active com

tons in rates. the earnings from the land-line

over the land lines being less than tho increase

earnings are we'll maintained. The early NOV

service the company still maintains an earning
capacity equal to more than per cent on its

money-$l 100, 0OO-was borrowed ''to complete
the State-house and the new hospitals for the
insane" now building at Richmond, Evansville
and Logansport Yet there are 5000 of esti
mate allowances, allowed to the contractors for
these hospitals that are unpaid because the
treasurer says there is no money in the State
treasury TO pay them. and the contractors have

During Governor Porter's administration, be-
sides the transference of the Purdue University
bonds, there were actually paid $164, $40 of the
foreign debt. During the past year there has
been only $4,000 paid of internal improvement

above figures show This is the sort of manage
ment the business of the State is having under

SECRET CRIMES.
mond convention.

When a man or a number of men are con-
templating the commission of an unlawful or
disreputable deed the first thing they think of
is secrecy and the best way to guard against
exposure or arrest. If store is to be burg
larized man garroted, or an assassination to
be consummated, it is imperative to secure
immunity from responsibility as far as posi-
BILE. This was the feeling that animated the
last Democratic Legislature when it decided
that the condition Of the State treasury
should not be inquired into, after it had
been demonstrated that the money that
should have been in the treasury was not
there, nor had there been any accounting of
it. This was the moving cause when it was
known doubtless to those inside the ring that
the inmates of the Insane Hospital were being
fed on slops in order to the enrichment OF a
few Democratic pets The idea was that by
the gerrymander it would be impossible for
the people to demand and compel an account
ing. This was the reason the Liquor League
had hand in it, the bargain being that the
traffic should not be interfered with by the
next Legislature in any manner, so that the
burden of taxation on the people remain as it
is. The Democratic party in Indiana, plot
ting the plundering of the people, and realiz-
ing that it dare not make showing of the
States finances, knowing that the State debt
was being increased and that the funds
were being used illegally, and that it must
stand by its allies in the Liquor League, de-
vised the present gerrymander, whereby the
lawful majority has been practically disfran-
chised, and it is next to impossible for the
honest men of Indiana to know anything con-
corning those matters of such great import
ance to them. This is the secret of the ger
rymander. There was no other honorable
reason for it, for it is UNANIMOUSLY unjust and
dishonest, and intended as barricade behind
which thieves and scoundrels of high and low
degree could make a temporary stand against
an outraged people, the hope and expectation

ficiently aware of the nature of the trick to
rebuke it this time. 1t is net so certain as it
was that it will succeed, and every desperate
and disreputable trick is being resorted to
supplementary to the browning scoundrelism
of the gerrymander. The man or men who
may be specializing with the money that
should have been paid to the workingmen
who have built the sew asylums, the fellows
who are growing rich over the fraudulent con-
tracts made for furnishing wholesome food to
the Insane Hospital, and others not yet un-
earthed, are the benefciaries of this swindle
upon the people. 1t will take revolution of
the people to rout them out, but it will come
just as sure as they come to a realization Of
the nature and purpose of the infamy. The
gerrymander is the fence behind which
thieves and schemers OF every description
hope to escape merited condemnation.
