They are fertillzed by Democratic states
maDship.
What is the next biggest thing In In

What made our taxes so hight
The last Democratic Legislature.
What made our State debt so Target
Democratic legislation.
What is the most expensive luxury that
the people of Indiana can indulge I'M
Democratic InajOrIties.
How can our taxes be reducedf
BY reducing the Democratic vote.
How can that he donef
By voting the Republican ticker.
Cannot the assessor take In our property

No not without perjury.
If | paid $40 State tax before the pres.

$40.
How do you prove thatf
Thus: Ii your State tax was S2.4 10 at ~

been increased To 10 cents on the 500, and
that would make your State tax IS. 40.

The rain of Monday night, which was
extraordinarily heavy in this vicinity,
seems to have been more extensive
than such heavy rains generally are. for
all the streams hereabout were very
high yesterday. Fall creek was higher
than it has been for some time, and
present indications point to q damaging
freshet in White river. The rain of
Monday night raised these streams more
than all the previous rains during May,
and will add very materially to the loss
already inflicted on farmers. The out
look for corn planting h~ereabOuts,
especially in the bottoms, is very DIS
c~ouraging. Farmers say If they can get
their corn in by the 10th of June they
can make a crop. but unless the rains
cease very soon they will not be able to
do that. Asyet. but very little corn has
been planted, and most of that which
has been planted will have to be planted
over again.

a sample of the f~alsehoods which are
now being circulated. In every county
except one, where conventions or open
Republican meetings have been held.
they have declared emphatically for the
denomination of the President. There
has been nc change of sentiment, but,
on the contrary, the Harrison senti-
ment is increasing. The same letter
dilates upon the excellence of the Har-
r'sOn administration and says all sorts
OF good thin gs for him. but expresses
the opinion for Indiana Republicans that
IL would not be well to nominate him.
The whole story is a falsehOod. and the
Press and other papers which are being
used to- misrepreseat the situation here
should understand il.

The following, from President Harri-
sons DecOratiOn-d speech at Roches-
ter. is a fine Thought. happily cxpressed:
Ont of this war we have brou ght n mu-
tuai respect that would not other wise have
been possible. Some of US fancied that the
Southern people were given 10 vaporIng
that each one of them was equal to five
Northern soldiers. bnt the South learned
that Paul Revere still rode the highways
OF Massachusetts. that the man of Concord
still plowed his fields. And We. on our
part. learned that the spirit of the Cavalier
which VAS found in the Southern army
was combined with the reserve and stead
fastness of Cromwelrs Ironsides.
1t would be difficult to put more clear
ly or in fewer words the better under
standing between the people of the
North and South which vas brought
about by the war.

RECENTLY gathered statistics from the

RECENTLY gathered statistics from the
leading cotton-growing States indicate
that there has been a marked reduction
in the acreage of that crop this season
compared with last. Texas, which has
become the largest producer of cotton,
reports a reduction of IS per cent. in
acreage, while Georgia, the second in
the list of cotton growing States, has
reduced its acreage 10 per cent. In Ar
kansas, which has become an important
cotton-producer, the falling Oft is "a per
cent, while in North Carolina one-third
of the acres devoted to cotton in 1891
have been turned to other purposes. If
these reports are true the price of cot
ton will be much higher next year than
1t has been this, and cotton goods will
also be higher.

THERE was printed in the Journal of
Jan. "a O statement affecting Mr.. Seth
Lewis. of Crothersville. Jackson county.
which has since been shown to be without
foundation in fact. and it is hereby re-
tracted and withdrawn. The statement
came to the Journal through a correspond
ent ut Seymour. who was. no doubt. with
out personal information as to the accu-
racy of the allegations it contained. and
allowed himself TO be deceived by some
one seeking to %injure Mr.. Lewis. In re-
gard to Mr.. Lewis making charges for the
services mentioned in the dispatch. the
Journals information now is that he made
no such charge. and did not receive pay
for the service. This statement is made in
justice to Mr.. Lewis, and for the purpose
of atoning the injustice done him in the
original publication. The Journal enter
tains no malice toward Mr. Lewis. and did
not intend wrOnging him in any way.

eff the Capitol were. a private building
and were in its present condition as to
its plumbing, the Board of Health of the
District would probably order it closed,
as q dangerous nuisance" The jour
nal is not an expert in plumbing,

how good the plumbing may be made
the Capitol will always be a dangerous
nuisance when it contains a Democratic
