TAKE my own State of Indiana. If we
were to carry the State tomorrow by the
popular vote of ten thousand majority we
could not secure more than two. or possi-
bly, three, Representatives In Congress and
the Democrats would have control of the
Legislature. There the will of the ma
jority is overruled. and by an improper
manipulation the rule of the minority is
made possible.-From recent interview
with President Harrison.
This iniquitous condition of things is
made possible by the gerrymandering
of the last Democratic Legislature,
which Governor Hovey declared by his
veto was unconstitutional. The dis
franchlsed voters of the State ought not
to submit to this outrage any longer.
They have submitted too long already.
The time has come when this matter
should be taken before the Supreme
Court and the question tested, once for
all, whether the constitutional pro-
visions in regard to legislative ap-
portionment mean anything or not.

AUDITOR HENDERSON should not for
get that there is broad distinction be-
tween commission for an office which
may be only prima facie evidence of
title to an Office, and claim for an office
without any commission from the Gov
ernor. With all his generous enIhusi-
asm for helpless lunatics, and his party,
he may some day understand the dis
tinction. The Governor is not contend
ing with him as to who may be entitled
to an office; that is question for the
Supreme Court to settle in each case
presented for decision. But the Gov
ernor is demanding that any person
who draws thousands of dollars from
the public treasury should be fully au-
thorized to do so under the Constitution
and laws of the State. No court has
ever decreed that persons who are by
law officers who should be commits
stoned, can draw one cent from the treas
ury until they have obtained their COM
missions. That is the question between
the Governor and the Auditor. The
Supreme Court will settle the titles.

BLAINE AND HARRISON.

Indications that the Secretary VIII support
the President for denomination.
Washington Special TO Cincinnati Enquirer
There are numerous signs here In polit-
lcal circles that Secretary Blaine has de-
clded to uphold President Harrison for a
denomination. All tile Secretary's friends
who have seen him lately have come away
from hls presence impressed with the idea
that Mr.. Blaine will not. under any cir
cumstances, be candidate himself for the
nomination. and that he is sincerely urging
Harrison's renomination. 1t is difficult 70
find any of the old Blaine leaders who are
willing to be led by him In this movement.
but there Is no telling what the Secretary
may do with two years of persistent work
on this line. One of his oldest friends
talked TO me tonight in this strain: "Blaine
holds TO the belief as TO fatality that he
will never be President. His ambition to
be President has been killed by that
belief. He wishes to retain bis pres
can do so under Harrison. He
would have some doubt if there was anoth.
er Republican elected. He talks, moreover,
as if he believes that Harrison will be the
strongest Repu 5lican candidate. As be puts
1t, the President has stood up manfully for
everything demanded in the Republican
platform, and whatever benefit comes to
the country from Republican legislation in
the line of this platform he will naturally
seize as the principal beneficiary for having
prompted it. He points out the fact that
the administration is always weakest ut the
half way point in it's history. and declares
that from now on the administration will
grow stronger with the people and the
party, and he is especially strong in pre-
dieting that In the coming contest between
the President and Democratic House the
President is sure TO become popular with
his party. because he is q stanch Republic
an and stern fighter. There is logic in
Blaine's reasoning, although Republicans
do not wish to be obliged to accept it"

THE ADVANCE OF PARM PRODUCTS.

The advance in the prices of farm
products during the past season, partic
ularly in cereals, has been the most
striking in years. A year ago spring
wheat was quoted at 20 cents in Chi
cago; now it is selling at $1.01-an ad-
vance of % per cent. The price of corn
has more than doubled, having reached
a higher figure than at any time in the
last seven years-61 cents, against %
cents year ago, which is an improve
ment of 116 per cent. Oats were selling
in carload lots at 20 1i2 cents year ago.
but within few days the price reached
81 liz cents-an advance of $50 per cent.
Rye has risen from 40 1l2 to 90 cents, and
barley from 80 and 90 cents to 65 and 70
cents. In fact, flaxseed is the only
cereal which is lower now than it was a
year ago. Last year potatoes were a
drug at AZ to 40 cents, but now retailers
are glad to get them at 81. or even S1.10
a bushel. This advance is not due to
a greater foreign demand, since our ex-
ports of corn and oats have fallen off
more than 90 per cent. in quantity, but
to the short crops of cereals, vegetables
and fruits. In 1890 the supply was
greater than the demand for consump-
ton, and per cent. of any staple more
than is required for current consumption
will depreciate the price much
more than an apparent shortage of 5
per cent. will advance it. The prices of
live stock have not so materially i'm
proved. Hogs are now from 35 to so
cents higher per one hundred pounds
than a year ago. while desirable beef
cattle are selling in Chicago at S5.25 to
$3.50, against $4.75 and $500 year
ago. Probably the high price of corn
has tended to keep the price of hogs to

How the Secretary Of the Treasury'e Father
Had His Own Way In q Matter.
New York Times.
Il can tell you little story about Chsrlis
Fosters father that illustrates the fact that
there is nothing obtuse or dense about the
Foster family Mahlon Chance said the
other day as, with q group of well-known
men, he was talking of the new Secretary Of
the Treasury.
The incident occurred good many
boy and lived with his father in their Ohio
home. A dispute had arisen over the ioca-
tion of o stretch of county road Some
wanted 1t laid out in one place. others IA.
vored different route and q few wanted
a third line. After a good deal of discus-
sion, the County Commissioners met at Tiff
I'm and named 0ay when they would
decide just where the road should 90. They
said that they wanted TO examine the two
principal routes, find out which was more
travelled. and select accordingly.
Charlie Fosters father was Interested IN
having the road &C in certain direction.
The night before the decision was TO be
made he resolved on etratagem.
Hitch up the oxen, he said to Charlie,
'and go down to neighbor Sawyer's aud get
his yoke: we have business tonight
Charles asked no questions, and in one
hour three yokes of oxen. each drawing q
heavy sled, stood before the Foster bome-
stead. Then began "A procession backward
and forward In the strip of road upon
which Mr.. Foster wanted the comm mission-
ers to fix. IL was kept going tor hours. nm
til the tracks were hammered hard. The
cattle were then unyoked. and the Foster
family retired.
Next morning the commissioners looked
at the two proposed routes. 1t took them
only few minutes to determine which
track had the most travel. and the road
was promptly located on the line of the
Foster procession of the night before"

THE Republicans have left us in q very
pretty situation for a war with powerful
foreign enemy.-Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal
Not quite as bad as the situation the
Democrats left us in for war with the
seeding States in 1861. Then the gov
ernment had neither money, credit.
revenue, arms nor munitions of war.
It's treasury had been looted, it's arms
stolen, it's navy scattered to the four
quarters of the earth. its arsena!s sacked,
it's forts seized, it's revenues squandered,
it's credit run down so that it could not
borrow money for less than 12 per cent.
while the civil and military service were
hOneycombed with treason. Compare
the present situation with that and
strike balance.
