A Clash Not Imminent.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 4.-The likeli-
hood of clash between the rival State
administrations before a final decision OF
the contest cases by the courts is believed
to be small. While every move of the re-
spective military establishments gives rise
to flood of warlike rumors, the men in
control of these movements, in the interest
of public order and of the causes they
represent, will not allow matters to take
a serious turn If they can prevent it. A
decision from the Court of Appeals is ex-
pected within a few days, but thirty days
must elapse after the decision is rendered
before the mandate of the court is issued.
Because Of this fact and the prospective
appeal to the United States Supreme Court.
If the Republicans are beaten, a final set
Element is still far off. Governor Taylor is
still at his home in Butler county, and
there is no Indication of his early return
to Frankfort.

THE HALF-CENT.
How 1t Would Compare with tn
Small Coins of other Nations.

Washington Star.
A report has gained currency of late
that the Treasury Department is contem-
plating the renewed issue OF the half-cent
piece discontinued as part of the metal
money output about fifty years ago. This
project is in response to demand by both
the offerers and the purchasers OF the
bargains which form so large part or

fractional coins are in wide circulation
among the lower classes. some of them

AN INDIANA CENTENNIAL.

Chicago Tribune.


Governor Mounts proclamation calls
upon the people of the State Of Indiana to
take part in the celebration of the GEN.
tennial OF the organization of the Terri
tory of Indiana. The occasion is one IN
which the people of Illinois. Wisconsin and
Michigan might take part. for when the
Northwest Territory was divided into two
separate jurisdictions. the Western being
called the Territory of Indiana I'm honor
of one of the pre-revolutionary land COM
panies, IL included also the territory which
became afterward the three States men
toned above. Michigan was set on I'm 1896
and Illinois in 1863, when Indiana was re-
duced to its present size. At that time
the population was $4,000. a considerable
increase over the 5000 of 1900. and the resi-
dents were engaged in constant warfare
with the Indians. The growth OF the State
has been most rapid since its admission
in 1916, the population increasing skiold
during that decade, doubling during the
next. and it was not until 1850 that Illinois
passed IL.
Indiana has had many great men since
William Henry Harrison. the first Cover
nor ruled the Territory from Vincennes.
Among these have been Thomas A Hen
bricks. Oliver Il. Morton, Schuyler Col-
fax. William s. Holman. Richard w.
Thompson Benjamin Harrison, George
w. Julian. ID. w: VOORHEES, and Michael
C. Kerr, all of whom have left their i'm
press upon the national history.
Politics has from the first been bitter In
Indiana. The southern population of In
diana was originally larger than the came
element in Illinois. and I'm 1880 emigrants
from Virginia. North Carolina and Ken
lucky constituted about 20 per cent of the
whole population. IL was this that has
made the southern counties of the State
Democratic, a line drawn across the State
separating pretty evenly the Republican
from the Democratic counties. Until lssl
the State was generally Democratic. the
only WING Governors being Wallace and
Bigger. Lincoln carried the State In 1850.
and IL was loyal to the Union, furnishing
1885, 47 soldiers TO the Northern army, which
was 10 per cent. of the total population OF
the State. Oliver p Morton was one OF
the most energetic OF the war governors,
and Indiana soldiers were seen on every
battlefield.
