This is a case where the plaintiffs

The court held that while he be-

March 8. 1898 The road is to be nearly
five miles In length and the estimated
cost s50S1. so. which is to be divided be-
tween two townships. The character Of
the general road may be gathered from
the following description:
The road is graded 30 as to make the
roadway eighteen feet wide from the inside
of the inner edge of cutters, raised to a
crown of four inches IN the center. culverts
to be Of socket tile, bridges, of which there
are three. to be of good, sound oak timber.
The road Is to be graveled with White river
gravel. placed so that one cubic yard Of
gravel shall make three lineal feet Of road,
gravel to be spread fourteen feet wide, and
twelve inches deep at center.
These movements in two adjoining
counties show that the people are wax
ing up to the necessity Of better roads
and are beginning to discover that the
way to do things is to take hold and
do them. The best laws in the world
will not build good roads without in
telligent action on the part of the peo-
pie. The trouble in this State has not
been so much in the laws as in the I'M
satisfactory manner of their execution.
There has been money enough wasted
in maintaining bad roads to have con-
structed gool roads all over the State.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENTS.

The farmers institute in Jennings
county has inaugurated a good roads
movement which promises excellent re-
suits. First, the institute appointed a
good roads committee consisting of one
member from each township except Cen
ter, which had two. and named the
chairman Of the committee. The first
meeting OF the committee was attended
by all the members and by number
Of citizens interested in the subject. 1t
being the sense of this meeting that
the present laws afforded ample ma
chinery, if rightly applied, for the con-
struction of good roads, the chairman
was authorized to appoint subcommit-
tee OF Ave to formulate a plan for the
construction of one or more good roads
leading out of the county seat and to
cal. mass meeting of citizens to con-
slider the plan. The subcommittee has
not yet reported. but it is evident that
a good start has been made in the right
direction.
The people of Jackson county have
also commenced the construction of a
free gravel road under Tia act OF

CAUSE FOR GRATITUDE.

During the last presidential campaign
the people were promised a great many
blessings as the result of Democratic
success. but one blessing was to out
weigh all others. Wheat was to be
higher. wages were to increase. en-
ployment was to be more steady, taxes
We're to be reduced. money was to be
more plenty, times were to be better,
but above all we were to have free
wool. This was to be the climax of the
happy condition which Democratic con-
troll of the government was to usher in.
Democratic leaders might differ about
other things, but they were agreed on
this. Chairman Wilson would surren-
der some points and compromise on
others, but he would never give UP free
wool. 1t was Mr.. Clevelands ulti-
matum, Mr.. Carlisles last ditch and the
pet fad of all the tariff reformers.
Well. we have got free wool, and, ac-
cording to the Democratic prophets and
tariff tinkerers, we ought to be happy.
True. there are some drawbacks to our
happiness, but we should try and cult
vate a spirit of gratitude. The price of
wheat is lower instead of higher, wages
have fallen. employment is scarce and
times are hard. but we have got free
wool.
The public debt was increased last
month more than $31 100000, the ex-
penditures of the government exceeded
its revenue during the month S5,269, 324
and the total deficit for the last six
months is $27. 564. 465; but we have got
free wool
There is a steady and alarming out
flow of gold, the treasury surplus is
only maintained by repeated sales of
bonds, the public credit is seriously
menaced and Democratic currency tink-
erers are doing all in their power to
aggravate the situation: but we have
got free wool.
We have lost our flour trade with
Cuba, our trade with all the South
American states has been crippled and
every government on the continent of
Europe has prohibited the Importation
/, of American cattle and beef; but we
have got free wool.
During the last year there have been
two issues of government bonds of $780,
900, 900 each, which should have Melted
the government about $117 100000, and
yet at the close of the year the treas
ury gold reserve was only about $780,
900 more than on Jan. 1, 1894, and nearly
$15,000,000 below the supposed safety
mark; but we have got free wool.
With the government in the hands
of tyros and blunderers, and with a
Congress without patriotism or brains,
the main dependence of the country is
good luck and kind Providence: but
the people should be thankful that they
have free WOOL

A LESSON FOR REPUBLICANS.

In the long list of OutrageS per-
petrated by the Democratic party in
this State in the gerrymander business
not the least was the manner in which
the present one was passed. After the
Supreme Court had held the act of 1891
unconstitutional. assigning specific rea-
sons therefor. the Democrats met in
caucus and adopted another bill as near
ly as possible like the one that had been
overthrown by the Supreme Court. and
plainly in violation of the Constitu-
ton. -Four bills were presented. to the
caucus, and it adopted the most unfair
one of the lot rejecting the other three
because. although still strongly favor
able to the Democratic party, they were
not unfair enough. They differed too
much from the gerrymander that had
been held unconstitutional. In com
menting at the time on this action of
the caucus the Journal said:
This is an insult to the court. 1t is also
insult to the people, large majority of
whom. irrespective OF party, are opposed to
any party has a right to gag, tie and dis
franchise the opposition The Democrats
have the power to pass the pending BILL
but they have not the power 10 compel a
majority of the voters of the State to sub
NIT to it. The bill, If passed, will be fought
before the people and in the courts with
that persistence which inspires men deter
mined to have their rights, and the fight
will never be abandoned till right and justice
have been established.
The manner in which the hill was
passed YVES as great an outrage as the
bill itself The Democrats refused to
permit any discussion of the measure.
The gag rule was applied and all debate
was cut off. The Speaker Of the House
even refused to permit Republicans
briefly to explain their votes. One
member who endeavored to make such
an explanation was howled down, and
another who insisted on making his
protest was showed into his seat by a
doorkeeper. The Speaker not only toll
Grated but encouraged these outrages.
The Journal said:
The Speaker and his w-conspirators
in the overthrow OF representative govern
ment in Indiana may shout over their VIC
tory now, but of these days the people
who believe in decency and fair methods
will rise up to rebuke the ruffianism which
disgraced the House yesterday.
The day has come. the people have
risen and the rebulke has been admin
istered The lesson of the hour is this:
The Republicans will have a larger ma
jority in the next Legislature than the
Democrats had in the last one. They
will have votes enough to pass any
measure that may be approved by a
caucus and made party measure. This
fact should give them a keen sense of
responsibility, and the recent overthrow
of the Democratic party should teach
them that political sins never go long

THE BANKERS AND THE PRESIDENT.

The report that leading bankers have
asked the President to retire Secretary
Carlisle is not denied any further than
that Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan was not
among them 1t may turn out that
there were no leading bankers, but
others who assume that Importance:
but. however this may be. such action
cannot be regarded otherwise than an
impertinence and as unwise so far as
it may affect the financial situation. AS
regards Mr.. Carlisle. it is fair to as
sumo that his action has been directed
by the President as the head of the
administration. 1t is not probable that
he has ordered the issue of bonds with
out the sanction of the President, and
it is probable that the award of the
bonds and the conditions were known
to Mr.. Cleveland In regard to the cur
rency scheme of Secretary Carlisle,
which has proved so defective and UNI
satisfactory, the President in his mes
sage gave the first official outline of it
and gave it his emphatic approval.
Whoever. therefore, may be the author
of the ill-advised scheme. the President
himself is as much responsible for its
recommendation as the Secretary II
Mr.. Cleveland had been able to detect
the defects of the Carlisle bill he could
have told him that it was an unwise
measure and must not be presented.
Then the Secretary would have been
at liberty to resign or under obligation
to draw another plan in conformity
with the views of the President.
L &f
the measure the President has been re-
ported as being determined that the
Carlisle bill should be enacted. Under
such conditions the President is as re-
sponsible for the mischief which the
bankers are reported as charging upon
the administrator currency scheme as
is Secretary Carlisle. Consequently the
bankers have asked the President to re-
move the Secretary when they could,
with the same propriety. have asked
Mr.. Cleveland himself to resign.
Altogether, it is not very creditable
performance on the part of the bankers
if they have done what the papers re-
port. Their interference can do no good,
and it may do harm. 1t certainly VIII
not commend this interference of what
is known as Wall street with the affairs
of the President. because it will be be-
lieyed that they have assumed al
together too much. AS there is no rea-
son to believe the Carisle-Springer bill
will become law, such an interference
as that with which the unnamed bank
ers are charged is not warranted by the
situation, and it will not help the finan-
cial situation
