WHAT the deuce is Coin Harvey going
to do with his theory that the ounce Of
silver and the bushel of wheat are in
separately linked together in price, now
that silver is going down and wheat is
going up? The events of the last two

of reflection and the folly of accepting AS
gospel what enthusiasts may say The
natural laws of trade govern trade, Just
as the laws of nature govern the growth
of the plant. Supply and, demand are
the great factors of price and the efforts
of all should be to increase the demand.

A press dispatch from Cincinnati says
that Scott Jackson, one of the murderers
of Pearl Bryan, received more than five
hundred callers during the day. most of
whom had a pleasant word for him.
1t adds that jackson greets his visitors
cordially and leaves a good impression
upon them" This is a disgraceful COM
mentary on American judicial methods.
Here is man charged with an excep-
tionally shocking murder. and whose
guilt no person doubts. In any other
country but this such prisoner would
be kept in close confinement, strictly
secluded from the public, and given no
opportunity to receive friendly greetings
and encouraging words. Thathe should
be permitted to receive hundreds of calls
day from persons actuated by mere
morbid curiosity. many Of whom doubt
less would as lieve defeat as promote
the ends of justice, is disgraceful to our
judicial methods. Jackson has never
been as near to telling the whole truth
and confessing his guilt as he was dur
ing the first twenty-four hours after his
grown more secretive, more defiant,
more fiippant and evidently more hope
full. The change is doubtless due in
large degree to the fact that he is per-
mitted to receive friendly visits from
hundreds of persons who, whether in
tentionally or not, give him the impress
sion that they sympathize with him.

ors should show the slightest sympathy

BY the new assignment for circuit duty
OF the Justices of the Supreme Court of
the United states, consequent upon the
accession OF Mr.. Justice Peckham. an i'm

twenty years been allotted to this circuit.

sincere regret. His great abilities a

before him.

He has lectured here on constitutional

University Law School, and his lectures
were always attended by an audience linn

a kindly regard for the members of the bar
practiciEg before him; and his interest in
and appreciation of the arguments made
by lawyers from this circuit at Washington
have often been agreeably manifested
His successor. Mr.. Justice Brown, is no
stranger to this bar or the people of this
community. An accomplished scholar, a
judge OF long experience, large attainment,
and conspicuous ability. a most genial and
agreeable gentleman, he will be heartily
welcomed to this circuit His opinions have
been long recognized as most valuable con-

sion, and in some important branches of
federal law there is no higher authority.

Reader Noblesville: Brown county has
no railroad. The highest known point in
the State is near Bloomingsport, Randolph
county. The survey of the east end of the
l. b. & w. railroad. now part of the Big
Four system showed an attitude on the
line of the survey, about half a mile
from this station. of 1,234.f feet above sea
level. In his report. Colonel Moore, who
was chief of the surveying corps, says that
while he did not take the altitude of any
points except those on the route of the
line his level indicated that some hills a
short distance south of Bloomingsport are
probably fifty feet higher than the point
named. Weed Patch Knob, in Brown coun-
ty, has long claimed the honor. 1t is 1,147
feet above the sea. Outside of Randolph
county there is no other place that can
dispute the honor. although number of
counties have Places more than 1000 feet
high. They are: DeKalb county, Summit,

Till with undiluted glory she can pass stiff

She should be fearless fighter,

But every blow she gives must score a point

Rather let her be pedantic,
Than be Bertha-Clay romantic

So that for the strictest accuracy she'd

And must never stoop to cheating,
BY working for salary too small.

And the women cease their fussing.

The present sad condition
Will go promptly to perdition.
And our prospects for the future will be

A bill has passed both branches

A bill has passed both branches of
Congress appropriating s5.000.000 for the
construction of a new bridge across the
Potomac, connecting Washington with
the national cemetery. 1t is proposed to
construct a memorial bridge, it's sides to
be ornamented at intervals with statues
of eminent Union soldiers. There are
two bridges across the Potomac at
Washington now, and, while neither fills
the measure of a permanent or orna-
mental structure, there is no pressing
need for a new bridge of so costly a
character as the one proposed. A Con-
gress that will not make reasonable ap-
preparations for public buildings in grow
ing cities ought to have hesitated long
time before appropriating S5,0O0.000 for
an unnecessary bridge in the District of
Columbia.

HEADsTONEs FOR WAR VETERANS.
Every HOnOrably Discharged Soldier
Is Entitled to One.

New York Herald.
Bids for 10000 headstones, to be placed at
the graves of men who we're honorably dis
charged from the army and navy of the
United States. were forwarded to the Quar-
termaster-general, in Washington, on Feb.
II: from the Department of the East.
The men who received an honorable dis
charge, and whose friends made application
after their death for a part Of the national
o the to 5s sSa
are thus remembered. The headstones. pro-
vided by contract, are by no means preten-
tious. For instance, the man whose tender
requisite quantity of marble at $2.O3 per
stone. This year the probable cost will be
a little less than 8 per stone. the most
likely figure being $197S.
When the dead veterans friends have
made application for the national headstone
the officers of the department in which they
sure that the deceased Is entitled to the ap
preparation. Then. when that has been done
satisfactorily the stone is shipped to the
named by the applicants. nsISs.7
The expense of erecting the stone must
be guaranteed by the persons who apply
who have been honorably discharged. Men
who die before they have retired from the
army or navy are entitled to burial in a
national cemetery at the Nations expense,
as honored servants of their country.
The tenders for tombstones of discharged
men are called for about every two years,
ana 1 was told yesterday In the Army
Building, in Whitehall street, that the
number of headstones called for is usually
about 10000, as in the present instance.
This is by no means an indication of the ex-
act mortality, as many men who died after
having been honorably discharged from the
service are buried without any application
being made for the national headstone.
This is due to various reasons Some
times friends of the deceased think it fit

Candidates for the next Congress are
already announcing themselves in
various parts of the country, and before
the present session shall have closed
the number of new aspiran nts will doubt
less be large. Many of the members Of
the present Congress are serving their
first term. Perhaps most of them will
be given a second term. but quite num-
Der will be retired at the end of one
term, including, no doubt, some who
have good stuff in them and ought to be
retained for long term of years.
1t would be difficult to contrive a more
cumbersome and absurd plan for the
sessions of Congress than the present
one. The people go through a cam
paign, sometimes said TO be one of edu-
cation, in which important issues are
discussed and decided at the polls. the
popular verdict expresses the will Of the
people, and. according TO all the princi-
pies OF representative government, that
will ought to be carried into effect as
soon as possible. Instead of that, under
the present system thirteen months must
elapse before the results of the cam
paign of education begin to work. A
House of Representatives elected in No
vember does not meet until the first
Monday in December of the next year,
though the new members term of office
begins on the 4th OF March following
his election. Under this absurd plan a
member draws ten months salary before
he renders any service whatever. and if
he dies during that period, as often hap
pens. the government is a loser. In the
interval between the election and the
meeting of the new Congress the old
one. whose term has sixteen months TO
opinion as 1t dare be, and pays no atten-
ton to the will of the people as ex-
pressed at the polls. The first month of
each new Congress is wasted in commit
tee organization; then Congress adjourns
for two weeks over the holidays, and
about the time il gets to work the peo-
pie are getting ready to hold conven-
tions to nominate successors for Con-
gressmen whose work is just beginning.
Then, If the denomination of the sitting
member is contested, as it is likely to
be, he has to give part of his time to
looking after his fences and securing his
denomination, thus drawing on time
which ought to be given to public duties.
If he is renominated and elected he is
still more apt to be unseated at the end
of second term. just as he is begin
ming to master the duties of the Office
and getting able to make himself useful.
1t would be difficult to conceive of
worse system than this or one less in
accord with correct ideas of representa-
tive government. The first session of
Congress should begin on the 4th Of
March following the November cleo
tions. when the term of Office and/ the
members salary begin, and the second
session should begin on the 1st of the
next January. In this way Representa-
tives would come fresh from the people
and campaign of education would not
be wasted. The vicious practice of max
ing frequent changes of Representatives,
especially where one has developed apti-
tude and fitness for the position, should
be reformed.
