MAY ELEcTIoN.-The town cleo
ton for three Trustees, Clerk,
Treasurer and Marshal, occurs on
May Sd this year, and candidates
for all the places are being talked
about. The first one to announce
is Mr.. Jos. Hoffman, ST., the keep
er Of the saloon on Main street,
north of 7th street. He is an old
citizen and known to all the people,
and whether he will have any op-
position remains to be seen. The
Office, at the salary of $25 month,
is not very paying one.
The Trustees to be elected are
one from the LIST ward, now filled by
Mr.. H. Pau; the I'd ward, filled by
Capt. Phil. Kunkel; the 4th ward
now filled by Mr.. w. II. Flick.
DR.. Kempf and A. Sprauer are the
hold-over members. With tn {
heavy taxation now imposed on the
people the Trustees are the most
important offices to fill, and the
most careful and best citizens should
be selected, or the town, or people,
will be bankrupted, and capital
driven away from it. No one will
start new enterprises when heavily
handicapped by taxation.

Billion Dollar Congress.

A Washington City correspondent
says another billion dollar Congress.
Although the exact figures cannot
be given until the last appropriation
bill has been passed, it is already
known, and admitted by the repub-
lican Chairmen of the Committees on
Appropriations Of both House and
Senate, that the total appropriations
will not only exceed one billion
dollars, but that they will go enough
beyond that amount TO break the
high water record made by the
previous billion dollar republican
Congress by an advance of thirty or
forty million dollars. This, too,
in the face Of the general republi-
can howl about the insufliciency Of
revenue provided by the present
tariff bill. There is little doubt
that the republican leaders have al
lowed the appropriations to pile up,
although apparently fighting for
economy by shutting out bills even
for the smallest public buildings, in
order to make the deficit big enough
to excuse the tariff bill they are en-
gagged in connecting.

FEES AND SALARIEs.-On Satur-
day the Indiana House passed, by
a vote of 50 ayes and no nays, a
Senate bill No. SO, so that if the
Gov. approved it it is now a law.
The indianapolis Sun says it cor.
reefs the defects in the fee and
salary law of 1895. The bill gives
the auditors and treasurers the sal
aries prescribed in the law, whether
the fees turned into the county treas
ury amount to their salaries or not
1t does not applyto other county Of
ficers. This is the solution of the
fee and salary question Of this legis
lature. The county officers lobb,

During the first forty-two days OF
the present Indiana Legislature,
ending with Saturday last, twenty
four laws have been enacted, mostly
of local nature having no general
bearing upon the people. The
Legislature will end by Limitation
in two more weeks, and it will have
to "whoop up" matters if many
laws are enacted. This is probably
a good policy, though, as the dan
ger generally lies in too much leg
islation, rather than in too little
The partisan legislation adopted by
the Republican caucus will be put
through this week or next. The
Sentinel says Republicans are dis
gusted with the results so far oh.
tanned by the session. Lieutenant
Governor Haggard said:
"We have done large amount o.
work, but it has not counted fol
anything" The lieutenant Cover
nor would like above all things tha
an extra session be held, in ordel
that the party might retrieve itself
He said he would be willing to Civ,
his per diem if an extra session o
forty days were held.
1t is generally admitted that
feeling Of hopelessness has taker
possession Of the majority, now tina
the session is drawing to close
when it sees all that has been at
tanned and surveys the obstacle
that are in the way of obtaining any
thing gratifying in the short spac
OF time left. Other senators an
representatives are speaking in tn
same tone of discomfort as the lieu
tenant governor used. They ar
ashamed to 60 back to the peopl
with the record they have made
They are now satisfying themselve
by promising something good 70
the rest of the session. But
sounds a good deal like boy whis
ling through a graveyard.
