1t is said that Governor Matthews
does not like to be held responsible for
the notorious neglect of the police board
Governor should not be sensitive. He
vetoed the Republican bill which would
have relieved him of the responsibility
of being the head of the police of all
the cities-the State constable-in order
that he might Use the patronage to pro-
mote his own ends. He and no other
man is responsible for the fact that
Terre Haute is a wide-open town, and
he is responsible that all the cities of
the State, except three, have been de-
prived of local self-government.

makes it's population 2.0s5,oo0. or $4,000

1t is a pleasure to observe that General
Harrison is evincing earnest interest in
his duty as one Of the trustees of Purdue
University. At the time he was appointed
the public appeared TO regard the action as
a mere formality. designed to give the in
stitution the benefit of his honored name.
and il is therefore all the more gratifying
10 note that he elects to become an active
participant in the management of the af-
fairs of the university. During the ex-
Presidents stay in this city he has assid-
uously devoted his time to the work coming
before the board of trustees, and has dem
onstrated the fact to his fellow-members
that he has the welfare and progress of
