Under our present tax law the state
| board assessed the Big Four and other
| railroads, and the corporations refused
| to pay, carrying the cases to the court
of last resort. This court decided it con-

1 IS, 600, 900 Of uncOllected taxes will go
| into the treasury, a snug sum that viii
| come very handy just now.-Attica Led
ger. Put the above paragraph from
good republican party organ alongside
the declaration of the party recently in
! state convention denouncing the tax law
as Infamous" and the couplet both looks

that their state convention had not been

The democrats throughout Indiana are
| closing up the lines and acting in har-
| mOniOus and enthusiastic spirit in the
way of organization. There are no 10
! cal quarrels over candidates, no bicker-
| ings. On the other side, however, the
love of official spOils is causing the re-
publicans much trouble. In some of the
| congressional districts and in not few
of the counties there is open disruption
and a regular Kilkenny cat-fght is in
! progress. Give us the officesr' Give
us the Officesr This is the republican
slogan and all the republicans care for.
But the people Of Indiana will not again
entrust the republican party with pow
err. They have no use for a party of
| spoils, whose misrule has brought upon
the country the present unparalleled
hard times.-New Albany Ledger.

| through the same field, he noticed that
an old strawstack standing in one
corner had tumbled down, and the
thought occurred to him that probably
his bull and heifer had been under it
when 1t fell. On removing the straw he
found them both, tottering frameworks

straw for thirteen days before discovered

in the plate glass addition. This morn
ing Mrs Hunt went before Squire
Roach and swore out warrant for the
arrest of Alex Hunt, charging him with
! being the father Of her unborn babe.

was very interesting and amusing. c.
NJ. Greenlee appeared for the defendant

quite a mixed up affair that is liable to
terminate very peculiarly. The case was
bound over to court and the bond of
the defendant fixed at $200.-Elwood
