Six weeks ago the correspondents of
the anti-Republican papers in Chicago,
Cincinnati and Louisville told the peo-
pie in the country round about what
jobs were to be pushed through the In
diana Republican Legislature. Those
papers owe it to the public to confess
that their correspondents are space
writer's and not prophets

in the appropriation, but as Ii got through
Congress and the government Is stuck for

may want to wash his hands of the whole

Members of the Fifty third Congress and
lobbyists who hold pledges for the pay
bounty voted into the sundry civil Bill under
whip and spur the last day of the session,
are now trying to convince the Secretary
of the Treasury that the appropriation be-
comes Immediately available out OF the

and its settlement is q alter of the great

The Legislature is justified in reduc-
ing the appropriations for the mainte-
nance of the benevolent institutions for
the reason that there is no good cause
for the cost per capita in the Indiana
insane hospitals to be more than 10
per cent. more than it is in Ohio. That
10 per cent. and more is the price paid
to make unnecessary places for the de-
pendents of Democrats who have
pull upon trustees and officers.

The unit of division in both cases was
the same, but in the Democratic appor-
tionment one district falls 10000 below
the average and another district has an
excess of $1,000 over the average popula-
ton. Only two districts approach the aver
age. The apportionment was a gerry
mander of the worst kind. In plain words.

Public sentiment has grown rapidly
during the past four years on this Ques-

gerrymanders unconstitutional and now
any party that undertakes an unfair APP

ceive public censure and to injure itself
politically.

Unit of enumeration of voters. 42,aSS
The vote and population OF the districts
is seen to be remarkably uniform. Only
two districts have as much as 5000 pop
ulation in excess of the average and only
one district fails 5000 below the average.
According to the vote of 1892 also, when
the Democrats had only 1926 plurality, they
would carry seven districts and the Re-
publicans only six. This arrangement looks
fair to both parties. But contrast IL with
the division of the State into districts made
by the Democrats four years ago and with
the same census as a basis. The populet ton
of these districts was as follows:

THE TIN-pLATE INDUSTRY.

A statement prepared by Mr.. John
Jarrett, secretary of the Tinned-plate
Manufacturers Association. shows that
there are 156 tin-Dlate mills in opera
ton or under construction in the United
States. Pennsylvania heads the list
with fifty-six mills. and Indiana, with
forty-one completed mills and fourteen
projected. The completed mills are the
American Tin-plate Company, Elwood,
sixteen mills; the, Moorewood Company,
Gas City, six mills; Irondale Iron, Steel
and Tin-p1ate Company, Middletown, six
mills; National Tin-plate Company An
derson, four mills; Montpelier Tin-plate
Company, MONTPELIER, six mills; Allan
ia Tin-plate Company, Atlanta, three
mills. NJ
Secretary Jarrett estimates the aver
age annual OUTPUT of each mill at 80, 900
boxes, which would make the aggregate
output of 15e completed mills 1850, 900
boxes and the estimated output of fifty
eight prospective mills 1,740,O00 boxes.

HAS A CHART FOR HIS COOK.
An Afflicted Mans Original Method Of
Curing Himself of Dyspepsia.

An Afflicted Mans Original Method os
Curing Himself of Dyspepsia.
There is a man living in Woodlawn
who has dyspepsia. This fact un-
fortunately is not SO extraordinary
as to entitle 1t to special mention in
great American oity of overwork
and underplay, but it is notable In
this instance on account of the IN.
genious method resorted to by the
dyspeptio to cure himself.
He carries to its uttermost the
medical maxim that dyspepsia is
due, among other things, to irregu-
larity in the food supply. He has
eaten on schedule time and according
to fixed rule for several months, but
has not derived the benefit from this
system of diet which he had hoped
for and has accordingly resolved to
take his life, or, as it happens, his
stomach, into his own hands and 500
what he can do with it. He has
nearly drowned this useful organ
with drafts Of hot water with or
without salt, imbibed warm milk
until he feels almost like al infant
in arms again, and yet no is not hap.
py. He has oven, although an uu.
usually dignified man, chewed gum,
but his stomach goes on generating
as much gas as ward meeting.
He believes that If he will throw
this style of physio to the dogs and
once moro cat what he likes, cooked
as he likes to have it, as his mother
used to cook it, his stomach will
again go as blithely about its work
as it did when he was a happy, whis-
ting farmer boy and didn t know he
had a stomach until he heard of it
at the country school one day. He
has piece of cardboard about two
feet in circumference, and on this
card is q series of circles one within
the other.
In the center of the cardboard is
o hole just large enough to admit
the little round kitchen clock which
hangs from tho wall. Each circle is
divided of into sections representing
lapses of time. The inncrmost circle
is marked Eggs" the next, BIS
cult and muffins;" the third,
Bread" the fourth, Roast beef"
the fifth, Chicken" and so on for
the different items of the bill of fare.
The cook is instructed to put the food
on the stove or inside of it, as the
case may be, only when the minute
hand of the clock is opposite to the
beginning of one of the sections in
the circle representing the article to
be cooked and to take it out at the
precise moment when the hand has
traversed the section thus begun.
For instance, he wants his eggs cook.
ed just three minutes, not q second
moro or less. Accordingly the egg
zone is divided into sections of three
minutes each. The roast beef must
stay in just Is minutes for evory
pound it contains; the mullins must
be taken out in 20 minutes, and SO
on.
The card looks at first like an as.
