Governor Matthews IS making a great

/ There ought to be a law for arbitrat-

/ But such a law should make the state
the sole authority in deciding these diff

Governor Matthews has shown COM
mendable prOmptness in protecting the
property Of citizens of Indiana. LaWless-
ness invariably weakens a cause. The
! killing of a Vandalia engineer has de-
! prived the striking miners cf the SYM

| who approved of this lawful movement

/ lessness have further weakened them

Attorney-General Smith has received
much merited praise for the great vic
! tory in the railroad tax cases. He has
caused the supreme court of the United
| States to write some new law and set a
| landmark for future legislation on the
subject Of railroad taxation, and has also
somewhat shaken the republican plat
form. Green Smith has been abused
more than any other democrat in In
diana, but he is a bigger man today than
ever. The people like a man with the
courage Of his convictions ana nerve
enough to face the music.-Sullivan
Times.
This is the 9Th day Of June, the senate
has had the tariff bill under discussion
for four or five months and no bin has
been passed, and in the shape as de-
sired by the people is not likely soon to
be. The thinking men OF the democratic
party, those who have always stood by
1t through good and evil report. who he
lieve in the Derpetuation Of democratic
principles, cannot but be thoroughly
ers in the senate. A thorough reorgan-
ization Of the party with all this incom-
petent and mOuntebank crew left out is
the thing absolutely necessary for fu-
ture success.-Crawfordsvil Review.
Again we warn the miners that law
lessness, riot and disorder will ruin their
cause. The leaders viii have 10 call of
the strike if rioting does not cease. Con-
ditions may be hard. but they cannot be
made better by violating the law. In any
event the power Of the state VIII tri-
urnph and bloodshed is certain TO follow
if better counsel does not prevail among
the men. conflict with the militia
means certain death 10 a great many
people, and in view of these facts, the
cooler heads among the men should en-
courage peace and good order. 1t is only
in this way that success IS possible Let
the men be warned before blood is shed.

Every good citizen viii approve the &C
ton Of Governor Matthews in ordering
out the militia for the perfection of life
and property in the coal mining districts
The strikers have Over-Tidden and de-
fed the law and must be taught that the
first duty of good citizenship is obedience
TO law. A serious and threatening con-
ditiCn of affairs exists the country over,
on account of the strikes and the spirit
displayed by the men, maj ority of whom
are foreigners Of the lowest class. Pr-
marily the mine-oWners are to be con-
demned for having imported and encour-
aged the Importation of such people, but
now that they are here they must be con-

The people of Vanderburg county will
understand something of the benefits Of
the new tax law when they ascertain
that the decision of the United States
supreme court in the cases against the
railroads viii add at once from $1,000
to $4,000 to The revenues of this county.
This large sum represents back taxes
which have been withheld by the rail-
roads pending the recent decision. As
soon as the decision is properly certified
back to the court in which the case or
iginated, that is sixty days from the
date of the decision, the money viii be
due and payable. 1t viii be distributed
in all the townships so that every por-
ton Of the county will feel the benefits.
Hereafter these taxes will be added and
payable every year. The city Of Evans
vile will also derive some benefits from
this decision. This is the law which the
republican state convention declared to
be Infamous" and which the reDuh-
lican candidates for the legislature in
this county are pledged TO repeal IL
