THE following is the text of the
Nicolsen bill, which is before the India
ma Legislature. Mass meetings are be-
ing held throughout the state and pc
titions sent to indianapolis imploring
its passage:
THAT the room used for the sale of
liquor shall be used for no other bust
ness, and that no music or device for
amusement, chairs or furniture other
than the bar shall be kept therein; that
during the days and hours when it is
unlawful to sell liquors, the saloon shall
be securely locked, and all persons ex-
cluded therefrom except the proprietor:
that the room in which sales are made
must be so situated as to front on
public highway, with a window or
glass door In front, which shall not be
blinded during the day and hours when
it is unlawful to sell; that for a second
violation of the provisions of this act
the liquor dealer shall not only be fined,
but his license shall be revoked; and
that if during any regular term of the
board of commissioners a remOnStrance
signed by majority of the legal voters
of the township shall be filed against
the granting of license to any person,
it shall be unlawful thereafter for the
board to grant license during the per-
iod of two years from the filing of such
remOnStrance.

THERE seems to be general DISPOSE
ton in most of the state legislatures
now In session to make fight against
oleomargarine. This is the height of
folly. Nine tenths of the oleomargarine
which has been put on the market for a
few years past is better, cleaner and
purer than the average country or
creamery butter palmed off on a suffer
ing public. The objection urged against
oleomargarine is the lack of guarantee
as to its purity. But the same objec-
ton is valid against creamery butter,
and it certainly is strong objection to
the average country butter. Certainly
the large manufacturers of oleomargar-
inc like Armour and Swift and others
with the reputation they have for pure
articles Ct food prepared for the public
in large quantities, are more reliable and
trustworthy for purity and quality than
very many of the so-called butter makers
all over the country who try to keep the
people supplied, but much of whose pro-
duct is most impure and offensive.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND when he was
first elected, said 81 intend to surround
myself with the best and broadest minds
in the party, and then bend all my en-
ergies toward making an administration
that shall at least assure every element
that a transfer of executive control
from one party to another does not mean
any serious disturbance of existing con-
ditions.' That Mr.. Cleveland was hon
est in his intentions when he made the
above declaration, may be possible, but
the results of his administration prove
that if he was honest he has shown a
most woeful lack of judgment in sur
rounding himself with the best and
broadest minds in the party, or else
there is terribly lamentable lack of
wise and broad minds or capable men
in his party.
Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1894-1895, 1895-02-22

ACCORDING to Washington CORE
Spondent Mr.. Cleveland never reads a
line of criticism of the administration
or of his own personal conduct. He
gave up newspapers during his first adj
minlstration, with the exception of two
personal organs which always indorse
his policy. Secretary Thurber makes it
point to keep newspapers out of the
White House land the president is said to
know nothing of public opinion, except
as it is reflected in the utterances of his
friends and of his two favorite newspa-
pers. Thomas jefferson had different
idea. He once said that he would rather
live in a country with newspapers and
without a government than live in a
country with government and without
newspapers. jefferson frequently re-
scented the criticism of newspapers, but
he read them all the same. lie studied
