An indianapolis paper that has been a
purveyor of nastiness for the State at
large has had it's sales suppressed in Rich

ment Is not as widespread as formerly, but
1t Is disgraceful to Indiana that 1t exists at
all. 1t is under the curse of the law and
should be suppressed as far as possible.
The Indianapolis News is fearful lest the
United States should trespass on some of
Great Britain's ..rights'' in Venezuela, but.
judging from recent precedents. the pros

panic j~ustiiable. One shudders to think of
the frame of mind in which the News would

For some weeks and even months there
has been much anxiety upon the part of
many as TO what would be the result of the
Nicholson bill and whether or not the pro-
p~rietors of the saloons would duly observe
il. Now that the bill is a law those who

A great deal is said, about the watered
stock. of corporations; and. Walls of wrath,
whole bottles in fact, are poured out upon
stock watering, provided they who condemn
so vigorously own none of the stock that is
watered by the issuance, of more without
corresponding additions to, the property OF
the corporation. And the strange thing, or,
perhaps, 1t is merely human, rather. is
that many of those who object so stoutly
to watered stock of corpora are ready
to welcome with open arms watered money
for all the people. We have now In circu.
lation more than 400. 00a,000 alleged silver
dollers every one of which is 55 parts silver
and IS parts water. 1t is true they stand fol-
100 parts of silver, just as watered stock
may sell at par. but the reason is that by
its action the government has said in sub.
stance 1t will max them 100 good cents
whenever any one demands it.-New AL
