THE HOME VINTAGE.

The She,byvilie Republican says: Re
publican legislatures all over the country
val have their hands full this winter re-
versing rascally democratic gerrymanders.
The work of revision viii, be well done
Reversing indeed Making them rescally
republican. Thanks, awfuly, for your
honest confession, although it must have
been lapsus linguae.-COnnersville EX-
aminer.
The newly-e,ected members Of the In
diana legislature are planning 10 enact
a new appOrtionment bill for COMPRESSION
al. senatorial and representative purposes.
We don't see why they should want the
districts any better for them than they
now are. They have carried every con-
greSSional district in the state, eighty-two
out of the 100 representatives districts.
and nineteen out Of twenty-five senatorial
districts. In the name of goodness what
more do they Want.-PiymOuth Democrat
A correspondent writes to correct the
COurier's statement made yesterday that
the office Of coal OF! inspector, with its
fat salary. is going begging. He says,
Ito my certain knowledge there are TWEEN
ty-one aspirants here in Evansville aiona."
But that is not many from a republican
point of view. When Harrison was
elected president in 1883 one fOurth-class
poStoffice in this county was hunted by
every republican voter in the two election
precincts who received their mail at it
Evansville Courier.
One of the things in the republican
party just al present, that is causing much
worry, is in the manner in which Fair
banks of Indianapolis has been thrown out
of the sena torial arena and the manner in
which Harrison pre-empts it. Benjamin
realizes that he has no show for the preSi-
dency, even if nominated, and that he can
be the republican candidate for senator, if
he desires it. That is all right, except a
little rough on Fairbanks, who has opened
his barrel in three campaigns for the pur-
pose of earning a senatorial nomination
He has purchased peanuts with worms in
them.-Nobie County Democrat.
Should the next legislature take the
power to appoint police commissioner
from the governor and confer it upon the
mayors Of cities, ii would mean the rele-
CATION again of the police 20 the dirty
Sums Of municipal partisan politics and
make them the subservient tOO-s OF
vicious and corrupt ward politicians in
elections. Leave the police commission
ership where it is, and where il ought to
be, in the hands of the governor. Every
right-thinkng citizen says this. The New
Albany police was never so efficient as il
is under the present metropolitan system,
and any attempt to change these favorable
conditions will be resisted by the people
of the city at the poiis.-New Albany
Ledger
There is nothing more meet and proper
than for the republicans to celebrate their
victory by soliciting donations for the
worthy poor. Ever since the beginning Of
the republican party it has, at all times
and under all circumstances, coined hands
with the moneyed classes. 1t has brought
poverty and distress to the American
wOrkingmen by such legislation as the
John Sherman immigration law. Ii has
pretended to be the friend Of these worthy
poor, but enacted Mckinley bills to compel
them to bear Il greater share in govern
mental taxation than the men who live
in brown stone mansions and compute
their incomes by the thousands. IL is al
together in consonance with the character
istic hypocrisy of this party who went be-
fore the people in the campaign just closed
without promise, to now pretend, amidst
the flourish of trumpets and sounding
symbals love for the poorer classes. As
the republican protected classes have
about all the money in this country it is
time they were donating something to the
destitute families who have aided them in
voluntarily to amass their fortunes.-Hart-
