THE INDIANA REs

The Democratic outlook seems to be prin-
cipally "a Democratic put out look.-Lo-
gansport Journal.
We are confident that President Cleve-
land would take a third term II no one was
lo~oking.-Elwood Call Leader.
Democratic management is the same from
the general government down to Harrison
county. There are deficits all along the
~line.-Corydon Republic.
The National Lincoln League acted wisely
when 1T declared that the tariff must con-
tinue to be the leading political issue.
-Vincennes Commercial
Mr.. Cleveland may be successful as a
singer of infants lullabies. but no sons he
has yet sung has had a pacifying effect
upon the Democratic party.-Goshen Times.
The discussion of the silver question Is
doing a vast amount of good in a general
sense, even though it may be Of no other
advantage. 1t is always better that read
ers should be we'll informed, and certainly
an education on many subjects is progress
ing now very ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Times.
In the decision of the Indiana Supreme
Court that the Roby AAi-raeins law is CON
stitutional. Governor Matthews and those
laboring with him in the matter have
gained a victory which nearly all Indiana
has a significance Of which loyal Indianians
are ashamed and hey would be only too
glad to see the place wiped out of exist
ence and out of memory.-South Bend
Tribune
The proftableness of the building and
loan associations has laid very largely in
their exemption. from taxation, an exemp-
ton designed to encourage small savings
by frugal mechanics and poor people. and
aid them in getting homes Of their own.
That the exemption was wise, and that ii
has been e great benefaction to that class
NJ nnnn1n thnrn aan ha unn. 6nllhf That this
special privilege has been grossly abused,
and appropriated by mere investors to a
large extent, is unquestionable. The paid
up stock was a clear violation of the
spirit of the law. Much of. the installment
stock is open to like objection. The tax
officers are reaching for investors OF that

AS the law has beer interpreted it will
undoubtedly stand, and there is no danger
that the Roby Racing Association will pose
in the light of lawbreakers, as some badly
posted individuals seem to think. 1t is an
i'll wind which blows nobody good. While
the decision was a surprise, we believe. to
the great majority of people interested in
the Roby racing ventures, now that the
legal status of racing in Indiana is def
nitely known, it will be possible for those
contemplating racing ventures in Lake coun-
ty to estimate in advance the cost of their
enterprises, and know. that their profits,
small or large, will not be dissipated by the
rapacity of hungry hordes with boasted
'nuence.-Hammond Tribune.
The farmer who has a ten-acre patch"
of orchard grass this year for hay is in
luck. 1t comes up early and refuses to
dry up in the most ~protracted drought.
A farmer has shown us a handful of or
chard grass cut from his premises, which
is fully two feet high, green from top TO
bottom and full of bloom. 1t is decidedly a
dry weather grass and no farmer should
be without it. 1t makes most excellent hay,
and in favorable seasons can be moved
twice a year. The present unprecedented
failure of the timothy crop should be a
warning to farmers not to depend entirely
on that crop for winter hay. 1t can be
sowed in the fall and will make a good crop
the next year.-Crawfordsville Journal.
