STATE PRESS OPINION.

Carter Harrison claims the honor of elect
ing Mr.. Taggart mayor of Indianapolis, for
Chicago's ruler and his marching club took
q hand in the campaign. 1t is reported that
a goodly number that voted Tor Mr. rag
CART are altogether willing for young Harr1-
son to have the credit.-Lafayette Courier.
The professional fault-fnders are not find
ing the welcome ears that they did last fall
People are too busy now to listen to COM
plants that they know are not founded
on fact, and they are suspicious of men who
offer them q theory which would not hold
good even for one year.-Seymour Repub-
lican.
1t is demonstrated that right here in In
diana beets can be grown that contain
larger per cent. of sugar than the best
beets grown in Germany, and German
farmers are getting rich raising sugar
beets, and we buy their sugar.-Fowler Re

The attempt Of the Democratic press to
make it appear that President McKinley's
administration was playing into the hands
Of wealthy syndicate of New York In the
Union Pacific deal falls fiat. 1t is now
positive fact that the government will come
out on that transaction with no loss what
ever.-Washington Gazette.
The Spanish complain Of Yankee aid rem
dered the struggling Cubans. Suppose our
government had placed no obstacle in the
way of such aid being rendered as sympa-
thy for the oppressed might suggest? The
result would have been more war material
in Cuba than the insurrectioniStS could use,
and Yankee volunteers would have materi-
ally swoolen the ranks Of the CUBAN army

The miners of this county are working
full time. This is very gratifying to them,
inasmuch as they were compelled to lie idle
for many months during the regime of
Cleveland. The miners of Park county are
cognizant of the fact that demand for
coal gives employment and wages and that
free silver at the ratio of 16 to can have
nothing to do whatever in creating a de-
mand for coal-Petersburg Press
Mayor Taggart is being severely criticised
for removing DR.. Ferguson from the SUPER
intendency of the City Hospital because he
is a gold-standard Democrat, a class whom
the Bryan Democrats have no respect for
nor confidence in. Taggart is spoils Dem
ocrat, and every one who voted for him
knew it. They had no right to expect any
thing else of him than a strict compliance
with Democratic ethics.-Marion Chronicle.
1.-The best mayor that Indianapolis ever
had" the man that was independent, has
removed the City Hospital superintendent
to appease the craving appetite of silver
mob and appointed as chief of detectives a
man recently dismissed as superintendent
for drunkenness. Independent Republic
ans" best citizens and gold Democrats
should celebrate in honor of the holy Tom
Taggart, the man who was lauded as better
than the mob supporting him most enthu-

The large car works at Dunkirk, built
during the boom of 1892, and later aban-
doned, will be occupied at once by a large
glass manufacturing concern. Articles of
Incorporation, with a capital of $4,000 in
shares of 500 each, are now being pre-
pared, and the fires will be started in the
furnaces no later than Jan. l. The car
works now consist of ten buildings, and two
others will be added, all of which will be
used by the company in making tumblers
and bar goods. The promoters of the COM
pany are Pennsylvanians.- Journal.
The administration is not yet eight
months old, but cast your eyes around and
behold what good has been accomplished
prosperity, dollar wheat, northumberland
dollars, protective tariff, the starting of
mills and factories all over the country, the
employment Of all the many thousands of
idle hands which had been out OF work for
many months and a Frightening up of
everything and everybody. Not even the
advance agent of calamity, Willie Bryan,
can check or change all this to the bad.
though he labor ever so hard at $50 a day
to do it.-Muncie News.
1t is asserted from Washington that the
civil service has no friends in the Indiana
delegation in the House. A statement is
made by those who are working to secure
the repeal of the law in the coming Con-
gress, by the passage of the Grosvencr bill,
that the vote of the entire delegation will
be cast in favor of the repeal of the civil
service law. If that statement be true
there will be changes in the Republican
delegation in Congress at the next election.
Any Republican who so far departs from
the traditions and practices of the party as
to vote for a return of the wild methods
of appointment TO Office is not fit cOnserv-
ator OF the interests of the people, and
should be spotted.-Ellxhart Review.
