THE SALE OF TIE NEWS,

The sale of newspaper attracts more
attention and excites more interest i'll
the community than the sale of almost
any other kind of property, because it
comes homo to larger number of per-
sons. A daily newspaper. which is read
by thousands of people, becomes, in
sense, part of their lives, and change
in it's ownership seems almost to affect
personal relations. For this reason the
announcement of the sale of a contrOll-
ing interest in the indianapolis News
will create lively interest here and
hereabout. The interest disposed of is
that of Mr. John III. Holiday, who,
compelled by failing health, withdraws
from NIL connection with the paper. He
has earned a rest by long term of
close, assiduOus and successful labor.
AS the founder, long time sole prOprie-
tor. and always responsible editor of
the News, he has been in continuous
newspaper work for nearly twenty five
years. If they have been years of ex-
acting labor and trying responsibility,
they have also been years of success,
for from a small beginning Mr.. Holli-
day has built up prosperous and valu-
able newspaper property. He has every
reason to feel not only satisfied with but
proud Of his achievement in this regard.
If it be true, as has been said, that he
who has planted a tree or written good
book has not lived in vain, 1t is much
more true that he who has founded a
successful and influential newspaper
has lived to good purpose. In his re-
tirement Mr.. Holiday, will carry with
him the best wishes of all who know
him, with sincere hopes for his complete
restoration to health.
Of the new owners of the News Mr..
William Henry Smith is known person
ally to some of our citizens and by rep
utation to Others. He is gentleman of
the highest character and of large bust
ness experience. While he will not be
connected with the active management
of the paper, he viii no doubt impress
himself both upon that and on its edi-
torial conduct. The new editor, who
brings with him fine reputation as to
literary culture and attainments, says
POLITICALLY the general tone of the pa
per will be what it has been" Well, it
has been-but perhaps this is a good

The present system of river and har-

1t lie evident that as long rs Congress is
permitted to fix up bills on the log-roll-
ing plan, distributing "pork" to any ex-
tent deemed necessary to capture votes,
the evil will continue to grow. Tho
fact that the bill just passed is the
largest on record demonstrates this
tendency. The people should insist

THE SILVER CONFERENCE,

The fact that the British Ministry has
announced to n deputation of CONNER
cial men asking for larger use of sill
yer as money that it had accepted the
invitation of tho government of the
United States to take part in an inter-
national monetary conference, and that it
gave tho news to the world before Pres
ident Harrison had authorized the an
nouncement, goes to show that the
administration is not in haste to herald
it's achievements, but is content to let
others do it. Beyond question. the
agreement of the Ministry of Great
Britain to take an official part in mon
etary conference is one of the most i'm
portant events of years. Great Britain
has for ears prevented the adjustment
ternational bimetallism, or of larger
use of silver as legal money. Mean
time, British interests have suffered
most by the refusal. To-day, British
manufacturers and merchants are feel
ing the evil of debased silver money
in India moro severely than do
the commercial interests of any other
country. For ten years chambers of
commerce have been declaring for
bimetallism, and a commission of Par
lament has recommended it. Urged on
by commercial sentiment, the Ministry
has concluded to go into conference
with the understanding that something
will be done to give silver larger place
in the monetary system of the CONNER
cial world. Under such circumstances
there is every reason to believe that
most important results will come from
this international conference. Indeed,
it is intimated that the administration
would not take the initiative until il
was assured that there was a desire and
purpose on tho part OF Great Britain
and other European governments to
bring about some practical results.

speeches, convinced that it would make
Democratic converts by the hundreds
when sent ont free of postage as part
of the Record. Mr.. Bowman has an
nounced that he will not be candidate
for reelection. The reason for this
sudden determination is that Mr.. Bow
man has been hearing from tho constlt-
uents to whom he made haste to send
the George book with his indorse-
ment. Protests by the hundreds, an
cry denunciations by the score, and
every sort of message that can
convey the wrath of a writer and every
sort of expression of the kinds of an ass
man may make of himself. have
reached Bowman from the farmers of
the Ninth Iowa district. These letters
have led Mr.. Bowman to conclude that
he has no longer any supporters in that
agricultural district. Doubtless Mr..
Bowman is a good deal surprised, not to
cay dazed. He seemed not to imagine
that the farmers of Iowa could object
to a system of free trade which concen-
trates all taxation upon land and which
would destroy all values in land. But
Mr.. Bowman knows better nova good
deal better. He will never hold SO high
a place in his own estimation as states
man again, but he knows great deal
more. The only fearpf Republicans is
that the Henry George edition of the
Congressional Record will run out. or
that free traders will be warned not to
send it to constituents. Mr.. Bow man is

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Representative
Holman's pet appropriation 'if $4,000 for
the improvement of property interest at
Lawrenceburg came near being knocked

Senate committee on commerce this after

down the bill very materially from what
it was as 1T passed the House, for there are
almost innumerable extrnvsgaut. If not
wholly worthless. provisions III it. and when
the item of $4,000 for Lawrenceburg was
reached. the committee concluded it was
useless and waste of money SO far as
public interests were concerned.
"Strike it out" exclaimed the entire
committee. as with one voice. Then II was
suggested that possibly it might be charged

with the purpose of personally Furnishing
Holman, and effort would no made to
construe it into Republican persecution.
So the committee concluded to leave the
Lawrcnceburg provision in the bill. A
number OF Democrats in the House had
asked the Senate committee to strike the
provision out and pledged their support in
keeping it out when the bill goes back to
the HoUse.
