THE HEBREW CONVENTION. Consecration of Four Rabbis, tlie First Time in This Country. Cincinnati, July 11.—The Union of Ameri can Hebrew congregations transacted little business to-day on account of the deep inter est in the ceremony of consecration of four rabbis, graduates of the Hebrew Union Col lege. this being the first occasion of this kind in America. Reports from committees were heard. A resolution to provide books and pamphlets for Sunday-schools was lost. The committee on accounts reported the follow ing congregations in arrears and subject to suspension: Anse Chesed, Vicksburg; Beth El, San Antonio, Tex.; Anste Emeth, Pine Bluff. Ark.; Meskan Israel, Peoria, 111. The report of the committee on the He brew Union College, that the entire Penta teuch be taught in the preparatory depart ment, was adopted. A report was made by a special committee on agricultural pursuits. The exercises pertaining to the consecra tion of the rabbis, took place in the temple, which was beautifully decorated. Rev. Dr. Benjamin S. Zold, of Baltimore, delivered the opening address and invocation. The laure ate address was by Rev. Dr. Gustave Gotiheil, of New York. Rev. Geo. Jacobs, of Philadelphia, also made an address and invocation before conferring the diplomas. Four graduates of the Hebrew Union Col lege then presented themseves to be conse crated as rabbis. This office was performed by Dr. Wise, of this city. He read the ac count of the consecration of Joshua by Moses, and said this was the same office. He closed his remarks with prayer, and then solemnly declared these young men rabbis in Israel, and handed them diplomas. The closing ad dress wa3 by Rev. Dr. Kaufman Kahle'*, of New York. The four new rabbis are Israel Aaron, David Philipsoh, Henry Berkewitz, and John Krauskopf. Aaron takes charge of n congregation at Fort Wayne, Ind.; Berke witzgoes to Mobile, Ala.; Krauskopf to Kan sas City, and Phil ipson remains here as pre ceptor in the Hebrew Union College. THE PATRIARCHAL CIRCLE. Annual Sonsion of the Supreme Temple, at Chicago. Chicago, July 11.—Thd Supreme Temple of the Patriarchal Circle, an adjunct of the or der of Odd-fellows, a uniformed semi-mili tary organization, met in annual session and conclave in this city to-day. It is estimated that 1,000 uniformed knights have already arrived, and will take part in the parade to morrow afternoon. The following cities are represented by temples: Cincinnati, Dayton, Lima, Ohio; Rochester, N. Y., Grand Rapids, Mich.; Anderson, Ind.; Michigan City, Ind.; Bay City, East Saginaw, Mich.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Milwaukee and Racine, Wis. There js also a battalion of 100 men from the Sidney, Golden and Miami temples, of Ohio. This morning the visitors were es corted to the headquarters of the Occidental Temple, in this city, where they presented credentials, and were afterward escorted to their respective hotels. At 11 o’clock Occi dental Temple, 100 strong, served as escort to the right eminent representatives of the Patriarchal Circle, and escorted them to the supreme temple in t)ig M. E. Churoh block. On arrival there the Patriarchal Circle went iUjo ejj&cutiye sejgion and heard reports of the supreme oracle, supreme secretary, and supreme treasurer. This afternoon a recep tion in honor of the visiting patriarchs and their ladies was held at headquarters at the Occidental Temple. A street parade of the commanderies will occur to-morrow, and the prize drill on the following day. Two Reports in the Tewksbury Case. July 11.—The majority of the Tewksburry committee reported to the House that Thomas J. Marsh, jr.. refuses to produce the memorandum books showing the disposal of the bodies, The facts of the case are recited for the House to act upon. The minority report was presented, saying the committee has all the essential facts; that Marsh’s memorandum contains the names of the bodies dissected; that Governor Butler used the names furnished by Hall or his witnesses in a way contrary to decency; that no chance for a similar course with other memoranda should be allowed, and that the matter be dropped. A resolution was introduced by a Democrat requiring the sergeant-at-arms to arrest Marsh for con tempt. Laid over till to-morrow. Reclaiming: FiorUl a Lands. Philadelphia, July 11.— The Atlantic and Gulf Coast (’anal and Okeechobee Land and Drainage Company, composed mainly of Philadelphia capitalists, received from the State of Florida an award of 535,385 acres of land located in the southern portion of the peninsula, for the reclamation operations in that State. This company has reclaimed pearly 1,500,000 acres of land in Florida, and work is still being vigorously pushed for ward. GENERAL POLITICAL NEWS. The Ticket. Nominated by the Penn sylvania Republicans. A TTarwionious and Enthusiastic Conven tion—The lowa Oreenbackors Nominate Gen. Weaver for Governor. Growing Uneasiness of Democratic LcadersConcerning the Tariff Issue. Indianapolis ami the Republican National Convention—lnterviews with Senator Miller uud Congressman Matson* PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS. Meeting of State Convention—The Plat form—The Ticket Nominated. Harrisburg, July 11.—But few persons other than delegates were in the opera house when the convention met. The faces of the delegates were unfamiliar, a majority being present in the State convention for the first time. Most of the candidates were in the hall quietly at work while the delegates assembled. Members of the Legislature of both parties were present in force. The convention was called to order at 12:15 by State Chairman Cooper, the list of dele gates read, and the names of a number of al ternates substituted. No committee on cre dentials was appointed, the list, as corrected, being accepted. On motion of Harry White, General Lem uel Todd, of Cumberland, was elected tem porary chairman. The selection of Mr. Todd was received with applause. He re turned his thanks, and without further re marks invited the convention to proceed to business. Five secretaries were elected, after which the convention proceeded to se lect members of committees on permanent organization and resolutions. General Reeder moved that all resolutions be referred without debate, and it was adopted. After recess John Cessna was made perma nent chairman. He congratulated the con vention on the spirit of harmony shown, and thought it was the forerunner of success in 1884, and believed the mistakes or blun ders of to-day would be political crimes. All stalwarts should prove themselves inde pendents, while all independents should prove themselves stalwarts hereafter. He felt this to be a family gathering under one roof-tree, and advised any gentleman who came to the convention with slates in their pockets to break them and throw the pieces out of the window. He animadverted upon the recent vetoes of the administration, and classed them as efforts to overcome the cost of an extra session. As to the extra ses sion, he said, let the responsibility rest where it belongs. He reverted to the tariff, and named it as an issue of the coming cam paign. THE PLATFORM. The Republican party of Penniylvaiir makes declaration of its principles as fol lows: First—We unqualifiedly approve anil demand the continuance of that system of protection to home industry wliloh naß proved itself to be a basis of uational independence, an incentive to industrial skill, and the developcinent and jriiar autee of ajusi and Adequate scale of wages for labor, aud we denounce all attempts to reduce the rates of tariff below the level which will ac complish these objects. Becond—That any surplus in the public Treas ury arising from reduudaut revenue should, after payiuir the national debt as fast as Its con dition will permit, be distributed, from time to time, to the several States upon the basis of popu lation, 10 relive them from the burdens of local taxation ana provide means for the education of their people. Third—That as the depreciated trade dollar is largely in the hands of our laboring people, and is a disturbing element lu the business of the couutry, we declare It to be the duty of Congress to adopt such legislation as will insure its full redemption and conversion into otUer coin for circulation. Fourth—That we protest against the practice of foreign governments in aiding or enforcing the emigration of their pauper and criminal classes to this country, and we call upon the general government to take proper steps to pre vent the same. Fifth—The Republicans of Pennsylvania most heartily indorse the wise and conservative ad ministration of President Arthur, and believe his administrative policy lias, under the circum stances, done much to secure the present happy aud prosperous condition of the country, and thus we recognize in him a faithful and worthy successor to our lamented martyr President, James A. Garfield. Sixth—We heartily approve of the provision made by the Republicans in Congress for giving the patriotic soldiers of the late war the prefer ence, according to qualifications, for positions under the government. Soldiers and sailors and their widows and orphans have the first claim on the are. protection and gratitude of the American people. Seventh—We commend every effort to inaugu rate a thorough and correct civil-service reform in all departments of the national and State ad ministrations. Eighth—We require that all offices bestowed by the party shall he upon the sole basis of fit ness; that competent and faithful officers shall not lie removed except, for cause, and that the ascertained popular will shall oe faithfully car ried out by those holding office by favor of the party. Ninth—That the Republican party is unequivo cally committed to the economical administra tion of the ass airs of the Comraou wealth aud the abolition of all taxes not required for the ne cessities of the State government; that all laws to prevent fraud and waste should be rigidly en forced aud faithful care given to the multi farious interests entrusted to the executive de partments of the government. Tenth—That the Republican party of Pennsyl vania hereby pledges itself to secure the pasKHge of eu&h legislation as will tend to a reform of the government of the State aud its munici palities, and more particularly pledges itself to provide for cities such reform of ohuitors as will correct existing abuses and promote good aiid economical government. Eleventh—Tbat, the Democratic party in the Legislature of Pennsylvania is responsible for retarding the legitimate and necessary business of the Legislature, causing the calling of an extra session at an expense of more than $200,- 000, and preventing a Tair and just apportion ment of the State into congressional, legislative and Judicial districts; and we hereby heartily corn mend the aetiou of the Republican Senate on those measures. WhereHß, It is the sense of the convention that tlm freest and fullest expression of Republican sentiment should be encouraged and sought in the primary meetings, which are th.j fountain of party action and source of popular rule, and that this object will be promoted by holding primaries for the election of the dele gates to the State convention throughout the State, as far as practicable, on the same day, not remote from the convention, therefore, Resolved, That the State committee be in structed to inquire iuto the expedience of fixing INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 12, 1883. Ia uniform day throughout the State for holding primaries for the election of delegates to the State convention. Col. Frank C. Bunnell, of Wyoming; C. I H. Smiley, of Perry; Isaac McHose, of Berks; John Hill, of Indiana; S. L. Bly, of Bucks; J. A. M. Passmore, of Schuylkill; Willis J. Hillings, of Venango; J. A. Ege, of McKean, and William Livesy, of Allegheny, were placed in nomination for State Treasurer. First ballot—Bunnell 27, Smiley 16. McHose 24, Hill 9, Ely 8. Passmore 72, Hulitiers 28, Ege 28. Livesy 32. No choice. On the sixth ballot the names of Bunnell, Ely, Sruiley, McHose and Hill were withdrawn, when the delegates who supported them voted for Livesy, and he was nominated. The ballot was as follows: Livesy 140, Hulings 73, Pass more 22, Ege 5. Recess. When the convention re-assembled Niles, Vanderslice. Grimeson and Potts were placed in nomination for Auditor-general. First ballot—Niles 72, Grimeson 70, Vanderslice 68, Potts 29. Vanderslice and Potts with drew before the fourth ballot, which re sulted: Niles 157, Grimeson 86. The nomi nation of Mr. Niles was made unanimous, and a State central committee, consisting of one member for each senatorial district, was appointed, and the convention adj> urned. lOWA GREEN BACKERS. Meeting of the State Convention—Demands of the Platform. Des Moines, July 11.—The Greenback State convention was called to order at 10 o’clock this morning by E. H. Gillette, chairman of the State central committee, who made a short speech advocating a stand in favor of prohibition, woman suffrage and temperance. Organization was effected as follows: Chair man, W. S. Ken worthy, of Mataska; secre tary, J. W. Muffley, of Polk. Mr. Ken worthy, upon taking the chair, made a short speech, urging cool and deliberate action upon all matters which might come before the convention. A motion was made to refer to the com mittee on resolutions without debate all res olutions offered in the convention, which, after considerable discussion, prevailed. The convention reassembled at 2 o’clock. The committee on credentials reported sixty six counties represented—two-thirds of the counties of the State. The committee on permanent organization recommended for chairman W. S. Ken worthy, of Mahaska; vice-president, T. Q. Lee, of Hamilton; sec retary. J. Burke, of Jasper; assistant secre tary, J. W. Maffiy, of Polk. General Weaver, chairman of the commit tee on resolutions, presenter! a report, which was adopted with but little opposition. The platform demands the abolition of all banks of issue and the substitution of legal tender treasury notes in lieu of bank cur rency. the volume to be regulated by Con gress; favors unrestricted coinage of gold and silver; opposes refunding of the interest-bear ing government debt, and demands that it be paid as rapidly as possible; demands a gradu ated income tax; declares that all men have a sacked right to a portion of the soil, and demands a declaration for the future that all unearned grants of lands to corporations shall be canceled, and all public lands to be held for actual settlers; asks the amendment of the patent laws to protect inventors and prevent the formation of monopolies; favors civil-service reform, the election of President and Vice-president by direct vote; favors a low tariff and revision of the present tariff in the interest of labor, not in the interest of monopolies; demands the passage of laws regulating railway and telegraph charges, the establishment ot a postal telegraph system. Hon. J. B. Weaver was nominated for Gov ernor; Sanford Kirkpatrick, of Wapello, for Lieutenant-governor; D.W. Church, of Adair, for Supreme Judge; and Miss Abbie O. Can field, of Des Moines county, for Superintend ent of Public Instruction. UNEASY DEMOCRATS. The Tariff-for-Revenue-Only Proving ail An noying Stumbling-Block. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 11.—Democrats are showing signs of uneasiness as the tariff is sue presses home upon them. They do not see how they are going to escape from the responsibility of carrying the “tariff-for-rev enue-only” plank through another cam paign, and the situation is not reassuring. Virginia, West Virginia, Georgia and Lou isiana are protection States to-day, and the sentiment is growing stronger every day in Maryland, Delaware, Indiana, Missouri and other States which are trying to encourage manufactures. The Democrats fear they may lose all these States and Tennessee as well, but they profess to believe they will win New York, Massachusetts, Maine, lowa, Kansas, Michigan and Nebraska on the issue. Altogether they are full of uncer tainty as well as uneasiness. THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. Prediction That It Will be Held In This City—lndiana And the Candidates. Special to Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. Mr. John C. New, Assistant Secretary of tlie Treasury, is a member of the Rebubli can National Committee from Indiana. He says in regard to the place where the next Natjonal Republican Convention will be held, that Indianapolis will undoubtedly be the city selected. In the history of the party Chicago has had the convention three time; Baltimore, Cin cinnati and Philadelphia each once. There is no inducement offered for selecting New York city—a city that does not care for a National Convention, because its coming and going is of no financial importance. Saratoga would probably offer sufficient accommodations, but it lias not been the custom to hold a great Convention at a watering place. Indianapolis, Mr. New says, is not only a central point, but it has sufficient hotel capacity. As for a place of meeting, a building of sufficient size would be erected in which to hold the Convention. “Speaking of convention halls,” said Mr. New, “as a member of the committee I shall vote against holding the meeting in any building seating over 4,000 persons. I be lieve, too. that it is the sentiment of the ma jority, if not of all the members of the com mittee. Our experience at Chicago in 1880 was sufficient to warn us never to hold an other national convention in a barn. “The delegates to the next convention, on the basis of present representation, and in cluding the nine Territories, will number 820. The alternates make the same number, though there is no more reason why an al ternate should have a seat on the floor, if the principal is tnere, than any other per son. You see that seats must, therefore, be provided, for the delegates and alternates, for over 1,600 persons. If there is then room for 2,000 or 3 000 spectators, it ought to be am ple. The .iowling and cheering at Chicago of a large part of the adult population gathered within the Exposition building of that city did not give intelligent direction to the convention proceedings, and we do not intend to have the business again interfered with in any such manner. Indianapolis is a city noted for its hospitality, and the resi dences of the Republicans there will be open to receive strangers. The fact is, and I don’t know why it should not be stated plainly, Indiana will not present a Republican candi date for the presidency. Ohio may, and probably will. On the other hand, we be lieve that Jo. McDonald will be the Demo cratic candidate, and Indiana has got to have something to counteract the influence of his popularity and candidacy if she is to give her electoral vote for the* Republican nom inee. Chicago is out of the question as a place to hold the next convention. Cincin nati is not a desirable place in the summer time, and there is no occasion for corning east. Indianapolis is central, hospitable, and abundantly able to take care of the mul titude that may gather within her limits. HENDRICKS’S OMAHA TALK. Mr. Voorlieea Reiterates His Statement, but Says It Is Not Authoritative. Terre Haute, July 11.—The Express in the morning will publish a state ment from Senator Voorhees, regarding the interview at Omaha with Gov ernor Hendricks, which says Mr. Voorhees had no authority to make the statement, recently, that he (Mr. Hendricks) was not a candidate for President. Tlie Senator says he has never stated anything by authority from Governor Hendricks in regard to his future purposes, and does not now; but that be personally knows the Governor is not a candidate for the presidency or any other office. He knows this from the Gov ernor himself. NEW YORK POLITICS. Views of Senator Warner Miller on the Situ ation in That State. Interview in Chicago Tribune. A reporter for the Tribune saw Senator Miller, and asked him what he thought were the prospects of the Republican party this year in New York. “They are encouraging,” he answered, “and I think we have a good fighting chance of carrying the State. When the Republicans are united in New York they are in a majority, and the present indi cations lead me to believe that we shall have perfect harmony in the party. In New York city they have adopted anew plan, allowing all Republicans to participate in the prima ries, simply requiring them to register in advance. Under this new system the prima ries will be held, and it seems satisfactory to all factions. The election this year will be quite important. Outside of the moral effect on next year’s contest, all our State officers, with the exception of Governor and Lieu tenant-governor, will be chosen. In addi tion, we elect a Legislature of which half of the Senate will hold over and have a voice in the selection of a senator two years hence.” “Is there going to be much of a fight for nominations?” “I think not. The present incumbents, who were elected iii 1881, were mostly new men, and, as it is customary to give two terms, the old ticket will probably be renom inated. We carried the Stato in 1881, and I cannot see why it cannot be done again in 1883.” “What do you think of the Ohio contest?” “I know very little of Ohio, and have seen no one from there since my return from the West. I hope Judge Foraker will be elected, as it will correspondingly strengthen our chances in New Y'ork, while a defeat would weigh us down. The result in Ohio will have a big effect on New York.” “Does it not look to you as if the Demo crats w’ere going to dodg*e the tariff issue?” “The time has gone by when any great party can afford to dodge an issue. If the Democrats are non-committal, and fail to take a decided stand on that question, they will get the credit of being against a high tariff, and will be judged accordingly.” Tlie Senator would not express any opin ion about presidential nominations, merely saying that any good man would be accepta ble ta the party. CONGRESSMAN MATSON. Indiana Democrats Want Gray for Governor and McDonald for President. Interview in Chicago Times. In talking of the political situation in In diana Mr. Matson said that the topic of all absorbing interest locally was the pending gubernatorial contest. In his party ex-Gov ernor Gray, who tilled the unexpired term of “Blue Jeans” Williams, had a good lead, with ex-Senator Turpie a fair second. It was a foregone conclusion that Maj. W. H. Calkins would secure the Republican nomi nation. “Will McDonald have a solid delegation from your State in the national conven tion?” “He will, without a doubt. The party is a unit for him.” “Will Gov. Hendricks have no following?” “Mr. Hendricks is one of the most popular men in the State. In fact, he has no enemies. But his best friends think that an entirely new man would be more acceptable to the country at large.” “What truth is there in the renorted scheme to nominate him for Governor and then adjourn the convention b Tore he has time to decline?” "I do not think there is any foundation forsuch a story. It is well known that Gov ernor Hendricks would not accept the nomi nation under any circumstances. "Is McDonald as popular in the party at large as he is in his own State?” “I think he is tlie most available man in the party and acceptable to the greatest num ber. If the convention were held to-morrow lie would be nominated on tlie first ballot; but it is impossible to tell what a year may bring forth. Mr. Siemens Seeking to Recover. Pittsburg, July 11.— Charles W. Siemens, the celebrated English inventor, to-day en tered suit against H. Sellers McKee, of this city, to recover $300,000. The suit grows out of the failure of the Siemens-Anderson steel company, of New York, whose plants are located here. The company’s property was sold out by sheriff’s sale, and a portiou purchased by McKee, and Siemens now sues to recover from him what lie claims to be his portion of the proceeds of the sale. Siemens owned 300 shares of stock*in the company, valued at SI,OOO each. Nail Factories to Close for a Month. Pittsburg, July 11,—The regular meeting of the Western Nail Association was held in this city to-dav. After a full discussion, during which trade was reported to be very poor, it was decided to suspend operations in all factories for a month, beginning next Monday.

Arrangements Made to Carry On the Work of the Bureau for the Next Year. Special to the Indiauapoiis journal. Washington, July 11.—-The Secretary of the Interior has examined and approved of the plans of proposed operations to be con ducted by the United States survey during the fiscal year 1883-84, submitted at bis re quest by Professor J. W. Powell, director of the survey. The amount appropriated for this work is $301,700. For convenience of reference Professor Powell has provisionally divided the territory of the United States into districts, as follows: North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Mississippi, South Mississippi, Rocky Mountains, Great Basin, and Pacific. It is proposed that several independent topographic parties occupy the Rocky Moun tain district during the coming field season.

Large Collect ions for the Present Month— Difficulty in Understanding the Law. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL Washington, July 11. —The collections from customs are going to be very heavy during the month of July. Importers have been holding back for the new law to go into effect, and the accumulations of many weeks are pouring in upon us. Just wiiat the in crease over last month will be is purely a matter of speculation, and what effect the new law will have on the revenues—whether it will cause an increase or a reduction— none can say. Some are of the opinion that there will be a larger revenue under the op eration of the new than of the old law, while others equally well informed think the income of the government will be reduced materially. The returns for the month of July will not fur nish data for estimates of subsequent months, and the people will have to wait for tlie re ports of the business for August aod .Septem ber before they will be enabled to tell how tlie law of 1883 is going to operate, looking at it from a revenue-bearing stand-point. Not less than 500 letters from business men and others have been received by the Secretary of the Treasury asking light upon points in the revenue law’, and demanding rulings. Official interpretations of passages in the crockery, iron and steel and liquor schedules is asked in great numbers of cases, although a majority of the inquiries are of a speculative character—sent in by persons who are curious to know how the law is going to work, where it is going to help trade and where hurt. It took sixteen years ta get the revenue-collecting machinery work ing smoothly under the old law, and up tu the last day questions were constantly aris ing requiring rulings from the department. If the existing law is not changed it will probably be sixteen years before it is under stood. It is quite probable, it will be tin kered and amended and remodeled next winter, making additional interpretation? necessary. The prospect of peace is nos cheering. THE HILL INVESTIGATION. Cross-Examination of Mr. Bartlett Concern* ing Extra Work. Washington, July 11.—Bartlett was cross examined before the Hill investigating com mittee to-day. He said he had made about a dozen visits to New York during the prog ress of the work on the postoffice building, but relied upon the foreman for a statement of the cost of extra work done and materia! furnished. The foreman was dead, and a de tailed account of those expenditures lias been lost or destroyed after the bill was made out. Had filed time sheets and other papers, but had not seen them since the bill was made out. Mr. Coleman expressed surprise that busi ness men should destroy their accounts. Witness said he should keep them here after, because be did not want a repetition of such a thing as this. Witness did not know anything of the steam-heating branch of the business: that was in charge of Mr. Hayward. Believed Chas. P. Newton super intended tbat work in the St. Louis post office building. Question —Why was be paid by the gov ernment? Answer—l don’t, know that lie was. Q. —What does this voucher mean, then? —I meant that he foremuned our work. Q. —Didn’t he act ns superintendent? A. —I suppose so, or he would not have been paid. Mr. Totten asked the witness how it was his firm had been more successful in obtain* ing contracts for heating apparatus than so other work. He answered that they werr the lowest bidders, and had better facilitief than any other firm. To Mr. Coleman—Wo may have secured the repair work from tli6 government without advertisement. We never did any such work by verbal authori ty of the supervising architect. Mr. Coleman produced vouchers for work of this kind, but witness said he knew noth ing of them, as they were vouchers for work not in his department. Mr. Coleman pro duced a voucher for $4,800 lor steaiu boilers, paid Bartlett, Hay ward Cos., and asserting that this contract had unlawfully been awarded without competition, asked if the witness did not regard that as evidence of

The Haiti more I'ofruuutcr Disturbed Be rium the I.iK'ul Hoard In Indepeaieit. Washington,’*Julv Jl. —Postmaster Adre on. of Ifciltimore, recently wrote to Post uiaFter-geatral Grecian* that the civil-service commission was com municating directly with the members ot the local examining Itoarti at Baltimore, who were employes in his office, and that in his (Adreon’s) opinion titis was detrimental to discipline of the office and contrary to the custom which re quires official communications to subordi nates to go first to the bead of the depart ment. The Post master-general has replied to Mr. Adreon tlrat. he *e*B no impropriety whatever in the civil-service commissioners communicating directly with tire local board of examiners relative to their duties under the law. notwithstanding they are employes in hi* office. The Postmaster kreneral snvs: They are subordinates of yours in an official sense. but in respect to the-duties devolved upon them by the civ i-ervtce laws and rules as mem bers of the local board of examiners, they ere and should he independent of any authority save that created and confer -d by law. The very object arjd spirit of the raw require that they should be entirely free from any interference or supervision on the part of tire head of the office in matters re lating to their civil-service duties. In this view of the case I think it entirely proper that the civil-service commission should communicate direct!v with them in matters relating to their duties as members of the board. Os course, it is to be presumed the commission will do nothing m this behalf that will interfere with the discipline of vour office, as Unit would plainly be opposed ro the spirit of the civil-service law. HORTON’S CASE. His Kesiiity of. the same by giving their names should be published broadcast. —r TIIE ATTACK OX LONG STREET. The President Wili Not Make Removals for Political Reason*, tt ttsliiiurtou Special. Colonel Buck, chairman of the State Re publican committee of Georgia, and Colonel Bryant, an aspirant for the marsbalship of that State, called upon the President to-day, to effect, if possible, the removal of General I.ongstreet. Tiie arguments Used were that General Longstreet was not in sympathy with the Republicans; that in a recent inter view he had announced that he could not recognize tiie leading Republicans in Georgia, as they were siiuply an organization of office hunters, whose principal mission was to trade for Biaine delegates, and that be(Long rireet) was for Grant. The delegation could not make any charges affecting General Gongstreet’s integrity, but they assured the President that Emory Hpeer,recently appoint ed United States district attorney, was in sympathy with the demand for Longstreet's removal. President Arthur did not seem to he particularly impressed with the strength *f the case made out against General Long c.treet, and gave the visiting statesmen but little comfort or hope by his formal and dis tant re pries. A prominent tauthorn politician, an ex freiiator from a neighboring State, who re cently accompanied a delegation to the White House on a similar mission, was asked by the Georgians to accompany them to-day and in troduce them to the President. He declined, and tried to dissuade his Georgia friends from Hud lie: “1 knew that it was of no use to ask the President to make removals lor political reasons. He will not do it. When I told him a certain official in my State ought to be removed, he asked me why. I said. ‘Well, Mr. President, first because be is a Democrat, and next because he is not even a decent Democrat.’ Have you any other charges to make?* the President askeß me. ‘No,’ said I; ‘I thought that ought to be sufficient cause for putting him out.’ ‘Well, it is not,’ promptly replied the President. ‘Tlie country is alive to the idea of civil-, eervice reform, and T am heartily in sym pathy with it 1 will not make removals ex cept for good cause, and the reasons you uave given me arc not sufficient.

Commissioner Dudley luforms Her that Her Services Are No Longer Required. Washington- s*fciwl. General Dudley, Commissioner of Pensions, has been for months steadily bringing the management of bis bureau down to a busi ness basis, new methods being introduced aud incompetent clerks weeded out. In the force of clerks has been for several months Dr. Mary Walker, and General Dudley, never satisfied with her efficiency or the manner in which she did any of her work, was frequently on the point of order ing her dismissal. A day or two ago he informed Secretary Teller, who appointed the Doctor, that the latter’s ability as a clerk WB3, according to his idea, too far below the standard to longer think of retain ing her in her present position. The Secre tary directed him to act as the needs of the bureau required, and General Dudley ad dressed a note to Dr. Walker, telling her that she would please consider her connec tion with the Pension Bureau as having terminated on the Ist of July. The Doctor, who was absent on a vacation, lost ho time in framing a reply, in which she stated that she would return to Washington by July 15, at which time she would be fouud at her desk in the Pension Office, General Dudley to the contrary, notwithstanding. Furthermore, she threatened, if General Dudlev persisted in his attempts to dismiss her she would next winter invoke the aid of Congress in her behalf and bring upon him an investigation that would go to the bottom of affairs in the Pension Office. Thus the matter stands. The 15th of the month is anxiously awaited by those who expect some amusement to grow out of the affair, though it is more than probable Dr. Mary Walker will Dot be a clerk iu the Pension Bureau on that day.

The force drove the ex cursion coaches backward twenty-five feet, but they kept on the track. Colby’s limbs were crashed to a jelly. Gates, the con ductor, was roasted in the ruins. The cause of the accident was the failure of the engi neer of the freight to obey orders.

Miss., yesterday, reports that hydro phobia is raging among the cattle in the neighborhood of that and that butch ers have dosed their shorts in consequence. The Origin of the trouble is not clear, but it is thought a herd of cattle, some miles from town, were bitten by a mad dog, as the stock showed symptoms of the rubies soon after the dog was slain. Since then other herds have boon affected, and a local panic has resulted. Many fine steers have been de stroyed by their owners. Old planters say that such occurrences as cattle going mad never before cuiue under their observation, but that the stock ars undoubtedly affected with hydrophobia. THE GREATEST HIT 1 SEASON!

WAKING THE lON’S WE ATE T ~JF.’ Insolence of the French Commanded Sn Madagascar. Ordering Foreign Consuls from Tamatave- Mr Gladstone’* AnDOsneaiaant to the House of Commons Concerning It. Expectation that the French Will Make Satisfactory Atonement. Completion of the Preliminaries for Con struction of a New Hues Canal—Mis cellaneous News by Cable. HIGH-HANDED PROCEEDINGS. The French Admiral in Madagascar Disre gards All National Courtesies. London, July 11. —Mr. Gladstone, in reply to Sir Stafford Northcote, said that when the French occupied Tamatave, Madagascar, and proclaimed a state of siege, the British con sul was suffering from serious illness, which the political crisis aggravated. His secretary was arrested in his presence, and Admiral Pierre, the French commander, ordered the *ick man to leave Tamatave within twenty four hours. The consul died seven hours after receiving the notice. Admiral Pierre also stopped communications between the British man-of-war Dryad, which was sta tioned there, and the shore, and her captain was only allowed to make a verbal protest against this proceeding. The flags of oil foreign consuls were hauled down. Mr. Gladstone stated that an English missionary named Shaw had been arrested at Tamatave. and remains in prison; the chanre against him was not known. Inquiries have been made regarding its nature, but the only an swer received was that the law must take its course. Mr. Gladstone, in conclusion, said: “In announcing these grave and painful oc currences, I can now only say that we must await the receipt of further details. We must also await those communications from the French government which the case may re quire, which we have intimated we expect, and which it would he bur duty to make under similar ejrcunisdfe.ncess f Mr. Gladstone’s remarks were followed by cheers. The statement created a pahtfn! impression in the House. While the proceedings of the French ar calculated to strain the present relations of England and France, it is not generally believed that a serious rupture will ensue. No reply to the demand upon the French government for explanations, made by the British foreign secretary, had been received up to the hour of adjournment of the House. It is generally expected that when all the facts are known the French government will express regret for the oc currenc.es complained of, and will, as a mark of disapproval, recall Admiral Pierre. A Satisfactory Explanation Expected. London, July 11.—The daily News says It may be safety assumed that the Madagas car matter is engaging the attention of the German and the United States governments, both of which had consuls at Tamatave when the town was occupied b} T the French, The News and other morning papers antici pate that a loyal and candid explanation of her action in Madagascar will speedily be given by France. More French Insolence. London, July 11. —Advices, June 6, from Gaboon, capital of the French colony of that name on the west coast of Africa, state that the French commandant there arbitrarily searched English merchants and fined those liaving arms in their possession, ami inter fered with the schools of American mission aries, refusing so permit the teaching of any language but French. THE CHOLERA. The Preparations for Flight—Filth and Neg lect at Damietta. Alexandria Letter in London Times. When the news that cholera had spread from Damietta to M&nsurab was confirmed, n sanitary cordon was established round both towns. The doctors at Damietta re fuse, it is said, to communicate to the con suls the number of deaths daily, and the consuls have sent a protest to the Khedive. Long faces greeted the Khedive at his recep tion yesterday, his Highness being, as usual, perfectly composed. On the occur rence of the last cholera outbreak, in 1865. the Khedive Ismail was one of the first to leave. To-day his son Tewfik, having asked an Englishman with whom he was very in timate last summer whether lie was going to stay, receiving an affirmative reply, said with u quiet smile, “It looks as if they were going to leave us alone again.” The steamers for weeks hence are already fully engaged. The market is practically, closed, the funds are falling, all fastivit c are postponed, and chol era is the one subject, of conversation. In proof of the apathy of the government officials. I may mention that once, when a similar disaster threatened the country, I asked a leading minister whether it was true that the fellaheen were compelled to pav a tax on burving their cattle. The minister replied that he did not know. The same minister was asked the same question again to-day, and replied that no such practice ex ited. But he was at once corrected by a •ibordinate official, who said that the fix jg regularly exacted. This tax is a rontin source of danger, the fellah naturally ding it by throwing his dead cattle into nearest canal. The government should 7 a reward for each animal buried, ir Samuel Baker, writing to the Times th reference to the outbreak of cholera in ypt, says: “Damietta is a disgusting ex ude of Oriental neglect and filth accuniu don. A long, narrow street runs parallel with the river at the back of the dilapidated houses, which for a distance of a mi’e rise from the level of the stream. This street is without drainage, and is a miserable channel of communication, deep with poisonous mud after a heavy shower, and full of duet holes, emitting germs of pestilence, during hot and sultry weather. If cholera can be manufactured there could not be a more elaborate factory.” Yesterday’* Mortality. London, July 11.—On Wednesday there were alxty-iwo deaths from cholera at Dh ii.letta, fifty-nine at Munson rah, twenty at Hamanoud, and fifteen at Shirhin. GENEItAL FOKRIUX NEWS. Inquiry Into the Daphne Disaster-Eighty Boillm Recovered London, July 11.—A number of unsuccess ful attempts have been made to raise the steamer Daphne. Eighty bodies have thus far been recovered. At the inquiry insti tuted by the government to learn the cause af the accident, begun under direction of Sir Edward Reed, the builders of the Daphne testified that she was launched in the usual manner, and no fear had been entertained of danger. They said the deck on the star board-side had been removed, to admit boiler-plates, planking and other material, which were stowed on other parts of the deck. She sank on her port-side. Sale of the Americau Brig Nettle at Havana. Havana, July 11.—'The public sale of the American brig Nettie for violation of the customs laws was protested against by United States Consul-general Badeau. The United States government had urgently requested that the case be referred to Madrid, but the home government refused to interfere, and the whole matter was thrown upon the hands of Captain-general Preudergast.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1883. STATE NEWS AND GOSSIP. Scenes of Great Excitement at a Shelby County Camp-Meeting. Fatal Accident at Bloomingdale—Rev. Mr. Iglehart’a Beautiful Tribute to Marie Litta—Note* and Gleanings. INDIANA. Great Religious Excitement at a Colored Camp-Meeting. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Shklbyvillk, July XL—Colored camp meeting in Vanpelt’s Grove, just south of this city, continues to draw large crowds each night, and the religious excitement heretofore manifested continues unabated. A pavilion has been erected in the woods, and every night the colored folks make the welkin ring with their songs and praises. Last night the excitement reached a white heat. Colored women touched with the gospel power would jump up in the audi ence, shout for glory, gesticulate wildly with their hands, and rush about the ground in an apparently wild condition. In order to control them, as many as five women would have to sit down upon them, and even then some times they would get away. Such a display of religious excitement was never before witnessed here. To-night Rev. Mr. Hammond preaches and also to-morrow night. Under his preaching the excitement of the colored peo ple is simply wonderful. The audi ence appears, to a spectator, in a continual uproar, but all the time the or ator continues liis address, seemingly undis turbed. Next Sunday will end the camp meeting, and at that time an excursion train will run from Indianapolis to accommodate those desirous of attending. The receipts from this year’s meetings will enrble the col ored people here to cancel a heavy debt hang ing over them, and so far the white people have responded nobly. Man Crushed in a Tile Mill. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Bloomingdalk, July 11, —A terrible acci dent, resulting futally, occurred near this place, at the tile factory of Haworth Bros., about 4r. m. j’esterday.

Extracts from the Address of Rev Mr. hart at the Funeral of Litta. Bloomington (111.) Pantograph. Nature became a mourner when Litta died; her clouds were crape and her showers tears. Decay has done a cruel work. By its con quest pride has been humbled, ambition mocked, and hope destroyed. The lovely forms of natnre, the prond structures of art, the boasted systems of society, the sweet ties of earth, all stand alike powerless in the presence of this foe. Along the edge of the porch, and at the foot of the lattice, and under the window you planted the little dark seeds that have grown to be morning-glory vines. The spiral blossoms unfold in the morning, and in the evening the delicate and exquisitely beautiful petals are closed for ever—a picture of the evanescence of earthly form’s, the beauty that blooms for a few hours and fades, of the glory that flashes and then dies. One moment one of the great artists of the world, the next a corpse. What a change, and yet only a human life separates these conditions. Thin, silken, a cobweb easily brushed away by the hand of death. All systems of mythology have their origin in men and women who have arisen like giants above their fellows in some depart ment of thought or action. If Litta had lived in the far-away past she would have been considered divine. A shrine would have been builded in her honor, and she would have been worshiped as the goddess of song. Her towering genius and success made her a favorite of the world—the idol of the city of her nativity. Over this forehead I write purity; over tliis breast I write love; all over this coffin I write work, work, work. Overworked, she has laid down to rest. ’Tis the old story of genius, too delicate, 100 dazzling for a stormy world. It is the old story of genius, whose fires burn the house it tenants, whose wings break the cage in its struggles to be free. Her sensibilities were as largely endowed and as fully cultivated as was her intellect or her will. Her genius sought them as the channels of the largest usefulness, as the instruments of the highest joy, and pears in them to as great an advantage as in the intellect in pursuing her art, or in the employment of her will in over coming the obstacles that interposed her progress. With these affections she blessed herself and blessed the world. To every one she was a lighted candle in a darkened room, the sunshine scattering away the clouds of a rainy day. She was the lustre of a diamond, the song of a bird, the melody of a harp, the fragrance of a bed of roses in June. Her heart was a bower covered with jessamine and with honeysuckle where lovers woo and win. The last word she spoke before she died were to a beloved one, “Kiss me,” and then she fell asleep. Her love for her friends was strong; her affection for her relatives was intense; her devotion to her father and mother, to her brothers and sisters was un dying. I said a little while ago her aim in life was excellence in her art. It was, and yet she had a higher aim—the support of her mother and family. She rises higher in her character and shines brighter just here than at any other point. It was genius that drove her imagination into the lofty altitudes of song; it was genius that made the will so strong to snap the cords that would bind her down, and her genius employs the sensibilities in her uncommon devotion to her family. She could not eat until they were fed, nor rest till she had fur nished them with a comfortable home. What if she could have had greater fame? The fame of being the finest singer on earth is not so great as the news of such love. What if she did not amass a fortune? A fortune is trash when compared with the jewel of de votion. Wealth and fame are nothing to the sublime heroism she manifested in helping the helpless, in suffering that others might be blessed. It was the custom of Litta to go to the groves to hear the birds sing. Her soul of melody sought melody everywhere. She took lessons, and the feathered songsters were her teachers. She would sometimes analyze the song into the various notes; at other times she would drink in the whole song and be charmed with the music. The beauty of the abso lute cam* through the chorus of the trees to her beautiful soul. You who heard her sing did not know why it was that she sang so much like a bird. It was because she was with the birds so much and learned of them so well. It may be she heard the sing itur in the distant paitn groves and went to listen to it and mingle iu it. According to an Indian custom I take a bird out of the cage and cover it with the kisses of the fami ly, with the kisses of this whole city, with your caresses, and send it out to the spirit that has flown to bear to her our love. “Rest lernaineth, rest from rears; Rest from parting, rest. ?rui tears; All luy resiles* soul shall be, Lost, tuy a iViour, lost in thee. “Thus inv 8 tvionr let me be, Even here at r*"f m thee; And at last by possets*ed, On tliy bosom Kink to r sr.” Fatal Fight on a Railway Train. Greenfield, 111., July 11.—On Tuesday night four harvesters boarded a freight train at White Hall, twelve miles north of this place, to steal a ride. While at this station four other men boarded the same car, appar ently for the same purpose, but after the train was in motion drew pistols on the first four men, and, after making them deliver what money they had, drove them off the moving train. One man, named Patrick Night, fell headlong and was killed. The four tramps responsible for the deed were ar rested at Brighton, yesterday morning. Brief Mention. The postoffice of Fond ttiger. The thieves were frightened away by the watchers before securing anything. B. C. Copp, a miserly and mi obnoxious indi vidual who nas been an eye sore to the good peo ple of Peoria for some time past, died a short time ago, when it wok found that he had $13,000 deposited with a bunk and about $3,000 personal effects. Duck Whalen, a notorious character of Lower Peoria, was arrested by officers recently. He lot* been iu the habit of climbing into box cur*, and iih passenger t>ains passed him would snatch the hats of passengers. Trie officers have had an Inkling of In* depredations foiwmme tune, but until now have becu unable to fasten the ants upon him. Lawyer Irwin, of Peoria, has purchased a bi cycle and Joined the club. He does not consider himself an expert• 111 the u*o of the animal a* yet, however, although he puts iu In* regular hours at practice. In his last effort lie was go ing up a street at a fair gait. Meeting a car riage he turned to one side, and in doing so ran against a stone mid was thrown violently to the erouud, seriously spruiuiug hu ankle and other wise bruising himself.

DesMoine-s, la., July 11.—R. L. Cliugan, at Polk City. la., was murdered late lust night. The particulars, so far as known, are these: As Mr, Cliugan. with nis clerk, D. C. Hanger, were closing the store for the night, two men came to the door, saying “Good evening, gen tlemen,” drawing revolvers at the same time, and without any warning, one fired at Clin gan, the ball taking effect just below the left collar bone. He died instantly. No clew to the perpetrators. The whole county adja cent to Polk City was aroused, and squads of men on horseback spent the night scouring that region. There is a report that the pur suers are close on the track of the murderers, two horses they had stolen and ridden nearly to death, having been found abandoned. Two more horses were stolen there. It is gener ally supposed this is the second chapter of the mysterious murder of Stubbs, mayor of this place, last year, who was shot dead oy masked men who entered his bed-room. Ciingan and he were great friends, and Clin gan had been taking active part in ferreting out his murderers. Brutal Outrage at Kansas City. Kansas Citt, Mo., July 11. —The fact was made known this afternoon that about 2:30 this morning, in Armstrong, a sub urb of this city, two men entered the house of Dennis Murphy while lie was absent, employed at the Union Pacific shops, seized Mrs. Murphy and com mitted a brutal outrage. Her condition is considered critical from the effect of the treatment. The woman says she recoguized them but they have not been captured. Later.—A man named George Tucker was arrested to night and taken before Mrs. Mur phy. who declared that he was one of the assailants. Tucker denied any knowledge of the affair. The charge preferred is “brutal assault.” It appears that the woman is suf fering chiefly from fright and the effect of the bruises received. Rank Robbery. Albany. N. Y., July 11.—The bank at Franklin was robbed early this morning of SBOO in silver. Two families living near the bank were gagged. The safe was blown after two hours’ work. The explosion took out the entire front of the building ami set fire to some papers. The money of the bank was in another safe. The New Hampshire Keuatorshlp Concord, July 11. —In the afternoon ballot eight persons, including William K. Chan dler, received one vote each; Edward H. Rollins, 87; Harry Bingham, 106. The break in the vote is freely discussed. Great diversity of opinion exists as to the outcome, and there are many private con ferences of leaders. The Rollins men were in sessio.i until past midnight, and determined to stand by their candidate. There is a feeling that, a majority of Patterson’s strength will go to Briggs and Tappati to morrow. The latter expected to receive thirty votes. Secretary Chandler will re ceive about ten votes to-morrow. He neither admits nor denies that he is a candidate. He was in consultation with the Rollins men to-night. Recipe*. I emon Whey.—One pint of boiling milk, half a pint of lemon juice, sugar to taste. Mix and strain. Spiced Plums. —Spiced plums are delicious. To eight pounds of plumbs allow four of sugar, one teaspoonful each of cinnamon and cloves, one small cup of vinegar. Cook un til they are thick as jelly. Frozen Oranges. —Frozen oranges for des sert on a July day are delicious. Remove the peel and slice the oranges; io each pound of oranges add three-quarters of a pound of sugar and one-half pint of water, and freeze. French Mustard. —Four tablespoonfulsof mustard, one tablespoonful of sugar, one teaspoonful cinnamon, one-half teaspoonful each of cloves, black pepper, and of flour, with vinegar enough to cover these; mix ail well, and let it come to a boil; when cold add a little salad oil, say one or two tablespoon fnls; this gives smoothness to the whole. Meat Balls.—Mince together some slices of cold roast beef and ham. Add to the mince one cup of mashed potatoes, half a cup of cream, pepper, salt and a little tomato catsup. Mix well together. Beat up two eggs. Mix all together. Form in little balls, dip the balls in beaten egg, place in a wire basket, and fry in boiling lard or butter. Garnish with parsley. Veal Cutlets. —Veal cutlets are very nice if dipped in eggs, then in fine bread crumbs, with pepper, salt, and a little parsley chopped and mixed with the bread. Have some fat, very hot, in the pan before you put the cut lets in. After frying the veal pour most of the fat out of the pan and make a rich, brown gravy. Serve with mashed potatoes, turnips and tomatoes. A delicious chocolate pudding is made of one quart of milk, three ounces of chocolate, six eggs, one cup of sugar and two teaspoon fuls of vanilla. Bod the milk and stir in the grated chocolate. When this is dissolved, take from the fire and stir in the beaten veltcs of six eggs; then add the sugar and vanilla. Bake in a puddiag-dish for half an hour, and make a meringue of the whites of the eggs, with three tablespoonfuls of sugar beaten with them. Making Clover Hay. lowa Homestead. Clover should be cut before most of the heads have fully ripened, and it should never be permitted to get wet. Many cut down a few acres with the mower in the morning, let it wilt and cure until afternoon, then rake it up and put it in the barn with a little salt sprinkled over each load, as it is mowed away. If it must be stacked, it should be immediately covered with slough grass, or red top. or timothy—for clover will not shed rain. It is better to put it in the mow or stack rather green, than to risk a soaking in the field after it is partly cured. Every man must use judgment as to how much clover it is safe to cut down at one time. But remember that there is always risk in leaving it out in the field over night. Clover hay once thoroughly soaked with rain is about as near worthless as hay ever gets to be. Plan to get it rapidly cured, and immediately put it under shelter. The Colored Convention. Pursuant to the original call for a convention of the colored people of Indiana, the following otrcular letter, signed by h large mini her of the prominent colored men of Indianapolis and the State, ha* been issued: “To the Colored Citizens of the State of LuJiuiia, Greeting: “Whereas, a national convention Ims been called to consider the condition of the colored people of t ins country, amt feeling it our duty, as a factor and part us said people, to be rep re sented. therefore, we request and urge upon the colored people of this mate to aaseinoie iu in sum* convention, at Masonic Hull, eltv of Indianapo lis, on July 24, ut 10 o’cfiwk a. m to elect dele gates to the national convention and to con shier the following subjects: First, the commer cial interest* of the colored people of the Stale; second, tlie agricultural interests; tided, the inecbamcal in tercets; fourth, the professional interests: fifth, the intellectual condition; sixth the moral condition; seventh, the social condi tion: emhtb, to discuss the mean* by which to open no the way to every avenue of trade, em ployment or profe*Rion; ninth, to foster u union by which to obtain all the rights, privileges and immunities guaranteed to ii* by the constitution ami civil rights legislation. “It is earnestly requested that all counties be well re prase uted.*’ Oil, My Back! That’s a common expres sion and has a world cf meaning. How much suf fering is summed up in it. The singular thing about it is, that pain in the bade is occasioned by so many things. May be caused by kidney disease, liver com plaint, consumption, cold, rheumatism, dyspepsia, over work, nervous debility, &c. Whatever the cause, don’t neglect it Something is wrong and needs prompt attention. No medicine has yet been discovered that will so quickly and surely cure such diseases as Brown's Iron Bitters, and it does this by commencing at the foundation, and mak ing the blood pure and rich. Wm. P. Marshall, of I.ogans port, Indiana,writes: My wifi; has for many years been trou bled from pain in her back and general debility incident to her sex. She has taken one bottle of Brown’s Iron Bitters, and I can truthfully' say that she lias been so much benefited that she pronounces it the only remedy of many medi cines she has tried.*’ Leading physicians and clergymen use and recom mend Brown’s Iron Bit ters.

Hearing, northwest corner Third and Jefferson streets. ST. LOUlS—Union News Company, Union Dep. C Mr. McDonald eagerly scans the latest news from Omaha. Mr. Hendricks does not propose to have Mr. Yoorhees brush the “old ticket” off the track with a shake of his sycamore locks. Thf name of Mr. B. F, Tuttle is withdrawn from consideration as a candidate for mayor, and it is understood that the name of Gen eral Maginnis is not to be longer considered in connection with the office. Mr. Hendricks, at least, as a part of the “old ticket,” is still in the ring. His Omaha talk has a point of In.erest for Mr. Yoorhees. The Wabash statesman is inferentially in vited to attend to his own business. Mr. H. V. Ludlam, the postmaster of Cimarron, New Mexico, is very anxious to resign his office. We had not noticed his name among the directory of the People’s railway, but of course he cannot attend to the two things at once. Mr. John A. Cockerill, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and New’ York World, has re turned to SL.Loui9 and resumed his chair as managing editor of the Post-Dispatch. Mr. Cockerill Announces his intention to reside permanently in St. Louis.

The Postmaster-general lias issued an or der directing the prompt forwarding of sec ond-class mail matter, and requesting that the practice, by government officials, of read ing newspapers and periodicals passing through the mails, be discontinued. This is eensible and business-like. It takes 159 votes to elect a United States senator from New Hampshire. Is there no man in that State whom 159 of his fellow-citi zens think fitted for the place? The country is aweary of the dreadful daily ballot at Con cord. Let us have a ballot that shall be Mcard round the world, and be done with it. Ex-Governor McCook, of Colorado, has the size of the Indian in his head. If there is any gentleman, even if be diets on beans and lives in Boston, who can give a sensible reason why an Indian murderer should be feted and feasted while a white murderer is hung, we should like to hear it. We are in favor of giving the red devils the sentence of the law, and the white devils the same, and the devils of all colors and shades. The Spanish Prime Minister, in a recent debate in the Chamber of Deputies, avowed his willingness to concede the measures de manded by the Liberals. Os late years sev eral liberal movements have been set on foot in that country, but have generally collapsed before anything of a permanent character could be accomplished. But the republican idea has found a lodgment there, and event ually will bring fortli its good fruits. Mr. Hendricks’s halt at Omaha may have more than ordinary significance, when it is remembered that the manager of the Tilden forces in the West.resides there. He is the editor of the Omaha Herald, and is counted among the shrew\iest political workers in the country. True, the Cronin affair, in which he and Patrick took an active part, was a blunder, but this was an afterpiece and not connected with the regular campaign. It was a desperate resort to bridge over the death-trap that awaited the Sage and his second. No sooner bus a joint committee of the English Parliament rejected the proposition to tunnel the English channel than a bill is offered by a Frenchman in the Chamber of Deputies for the construction of a railway bridge across the strait of Dover. Fifty years ago either of these projects would have been regarded as boundless absurdities; now they are both considered possible and one, and perhaps both, probable achievements of the near future. Civil engineering seems to acknowledge no barrier and mechanics nc obstruction. Some cheap men in the departments at Washington are talking loudly and largely of the way in which women clerks are to be crowded out under the new civil-service reg ulations. One official is reported as saying that as a good many ladies are now em ployed there it is probable it will be a long time, probably twenty years, before they are weeded hut, but that the time will come as there are to be few or no new ap pointments. Tlie.se male officials should oc casionally remember the fact that they have not a life-lease on the positions they them selves hold, and that their authority is little and brief. They should further reflect that back of the larger authority which put them in place, back, even, of any civil-service rules, is a public sentiment stronger than either, a sentiment which the opinions of women go largely to form. If the small officials fancy that their petty ces can permanently interfere with of any class of citizens, male or female, they are doomed to disappointment. Women have an equal right with men to earn their living in government employ. The civil-service rules, if bonesily carried out, will not exclude them. If dishonestly evaded, the officials guilty of such conduct should be removed to make way for better men—or women. It is safe to say that twenty years will not “weed out” the w’omen clerks from the departments, and it may be confidently asserted that no man at the end of that time will risk his own official head by uttering such sentiments. IMPORTANT QUESTIONS- A few weeks ago the Journal called atten tion to the significant fact that English capi talists are buying up millions of acres of our best Western and Southern lands. Since then there have been some further develop ments relative to this scheme that show that it is not accidental, nor has it any connec tion with a purpose to immediately put these lands on the market for settlement. There is now good authority for saying that I these large investments in American lands have an eye to the revolution, now far ad vanced in Great Britian, which awaits only thNdeath of the present Queen for its open denouement. What shape it will take no human ken can foresee, bin the war in Ire land against land monopoly, and its kindred wrongs, is only an open declaration of what exists in England almost as universally, and is poorly concealed, if concealed at all, from motives of policy. At no dis tant day this seutiment must work a revolu tion not less marked than that through which we have recentlj r passed. It may be peaceful, and most probably will, but it will be no less a revolution, and these large in vestments are for the purpose of laying up British treasure where revolution cannot disturb it. It may be well with the En glish lords, but it will be death to American civilization. Dare we meet this question as its gravity requires? But hand in hand with this transfer of English wealth, to be held by Kugiish lords, goes the other scheme, to send to these shores the poor, the maimed, the halt and the blind of the British islands. They come to be supported by our laboring men, while the lords grasp the only means we have of supporting them Or enabling them tp sup port themselves. No two questions before the American people are half so far-reaching aa these. They must be met—met promptly, met vigorously, and met sensibly. THE TRANSCONTINENTAL BUBBLE. Mr. Erai Kennedy, who calls himself tfce “humble projector,” and also “the chief ex ecutive officer” of the “People’s Railway Company of America,” favors the Journal with a letter, which is printed elsewhere. It assumes to gives “points” for the consid eration of the Journal and of tne public with respect to his colossal scheme; but a careful reading of it, three or four times over, reveals only a paraphrase of certain statements ie the “prospectus” of the con cern, while the greater part of it is con sumed with personal matters and copious quotations from the American Gazetteer and Indianapolis City Directory, which can have no possible bearing on the question. Like many other great men, Mr. Kennedy im agines himself personally attacked because of the storm of ridicule which has greeted tit# announcement of his crazy project. We have nothing to do with Mr. Kennedy; he may be all or more than he fancies and pictures himself to be, and the Journal has never said or intimated that he is not. Mr. Kennedy should possess himself. In so magnificent a scheme as that in which he is engaged self-poise and a calm indifference to the opinions of mankind are the first essen tials of success; else, he will find his balloon burst before he could properly expect such a catastrophe, and he will be untimely en gulfed in the water and bad smell. Mr. Kennedy says he did not expect that so gigantic a plan as that to which he has given birth would be “clearlj* comprehended by all,” and was, therefore, prepared for “adverse criticisiuf” but he assumes that such criticism as has appeared in the Journal is neither “honest” nor “intelligent.” On the first point it is possible the Journal could readily copy entire pages from the Gazetteer and Directory, and use them as references, while upon the sec ond point it certainly would be unbecoming in us to speak. He charges us with having but “a superficial knowledge” of “the pur poses and plans” of the People’s company, and says “no representative of the Journal has ever called for an interview or for relia ble information.” Well, if the paid agents of the company, and those whose names are to be found in the ofticial directorate, are compelled to confess that they do not under stand the mighty scheme, it may not be so very dreadful if the Journal says, plainly, that it does not grasp all the occult and hid den mysteries which have been born in the recesses of Mr. Kennedy’s brain. We do not undertand the scheme; out we have sought “reliable information” from the printed circulars and prospectuses with which we have been favored galore. We know that the “plan” is to sell 400,000 shares of this green-cheese “stock” on the “assessment” plan, the purchaser paying $2.50 down as a cash payment. We know that 4,000 “shares” have been “assigned” to the city of Indianapolis, and we know that twelve men have been employed, at so much a day and expenses, to “invite” the working men, and the poor men, and the anti-monopo ly men, women and children to take this assigned stock. We know that if those shares are all sold there will be produced a fund of $1,000,000, which will go a long way toward building the proposed eleven-story building, in which the SIO,OOO officers couid I. TTIE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1883. princely accommodations, and out of whiefi they might pay for banquets at first-class hotels and decorate themselves with button hole boquets as big as a liver-pad. We know that when this one million of dol lars is raised, and “the people” have subscribed so much, that Mr. Kennedy pro poses to release the California jacks-in-the boxes—those mysterious capitalists he keeps hid away in his capacious pockets—who are alleged to be ready with anywhere from $50,- 000,000 to $90,000,000 of capital to build the projected trans-continental lines, starting from everywhere and leading to everywhere, gridironing the earth in all directions like the lines of longitude and latitude on a Mer cator map; there will then be only $300,000,- 000 more to be provided. We know that Mr. Kennedy himself says that it has not been determined yet whether the roads shall be broad, standard or narrow-guage; and in re ality ail is without form and void, and is likely to continue so until these twelve hired spirits move over the chaos, and evolve one miDion of dol lars out of “the people’s” pockets, when the whole business is to take shape. We know a number of other things in con nection with this People’s railway scheme. We know there are paiues of subscribers to its stock who say they have neither sub scribed nor paid a dollar; we know there are names used as officers and directors the bear ers of which say they have never authorized their use, know little or nothing of the scheme, and repudiate it with scorn and con tempt, while others do not consider it even necessary to take the trouble to speak or write a renunciation of the measure. It may be, after all, that the Journal’s knowledge is not so “superficial” as Mr. Kennedy thinks it is. But it is not necessary to waste words over the matter. Mr. Kennedy’ has not been personally attacked by the Journal; neither has he or his scheme been treated to “vitu peration” or “misrepresentation.” Indeed, the Journal has not written a half column about the thing, all told, until the present time. We have been content to reprint the comments of the press of the State and country, which show that everywhere, and by all classes, the Peo ple's Railway project has been received with ridicule. We believe the scheme to be as wild and impracticable and hare-brained as any that could be coined in the of the veriest lunatic, and our only purpose has been co warn the honest and well-niean ing men, who may be misled by its fair promises, that, like all other of these phan tom paper schemes, the probability is it will go little or no further than the payment of the first or second assessment, and the dis bursement of the first moneys raised to pay the salaries and expenses of the ten thousand dollar officers, which maximum sum, it may not be too much to say, will be regarded by any business man as fully compensatory for the talent and experience and iuflunce appear ing in the published list. As the Journal said before, if anybody, after a full and fair inves tigation of the matter, wants to pay $2.50 or $250 or $2,500, it is all right. For men who hold their money so lightly, and are ready to invest it in such pale and paltry moonshine, we have no care. But we do care for the many who, with a strange fatuity, can always be found to bite at the barest hook. The telegraph reported, last week, that Judge Haughn had been assassinated, near Jefferson, Tex., on the night of July 2, and added that his wife believed the assassin was a negro whose daughter the Judge had wronged. Authentic accounts by mail give the truth concerning the murder of the Judge, and the meaner assassination con tained in the false accusation reflecting on his character. Judge Haughn was a Union soldier, who had settled in Texas after the war. He was a Republican, and bad been instrumental in the arraignment of thirty six Democrats before the United States Court tor frauds committed at the election last November. For this his life was threatened, and the assassination was merely the carrying out of that threat. Os course no arrests have been made, for the officers of the law were represented among the assassins. Such outrages, even in far-off Texas, affect us in Indiana as the scourge in Egypt does and we may no more k je indifferent to the one than to the other because of distance. If left to its own law the pestilence now wasting Egypt will gather strength and invade other lands, hence every city is alive to preventive means; and just as certainly will the spirit of assassina tion spread, if not rebuked, and we who are a thousand miles away may be its victims. No man who dreads such a state of affairs can to join hands, politically, with such assassins. It is astounding to read General Crook’s opinion of the North American Indian, that “it is always practicable to convert the sav age warrior into a peaceful and self-sustain ing citizen.” General Crook has proved himself an energetic campaigner against the red man, and has done good service in over hauling the fleeing Apaches. But that he is mistaken in his estimate of the average western Indian is so apparent as to be sur prising. The almost universal testimony of those wtio know most of the Indians is to the effect that they are indo lent, thriftless and treacherous to a degree beyond the comprehension of those who get their knowledge of Indian hoilor from books like those written by Fenimore Cooper and less distinguished authors. The red man of the West is a howling fraud, a sneak and constitutional liar and thief. His cruelties are proverbial and inhuman be yond belief. Possessed of every instinct of ige brutality, and hampered in no wise by anything like conscience, be has wreaked vengeance again and again on the white people, and needs no incentive to murder but the opportunity and the probability of escape, That he is brutally cruel is proved by the fact that the atrocities practiced by him in 1883 are every bit as blood-thirsty and relentless as those massacres at his hands at the river Raisin, Wyoming, and other places of the last century. It may be that if the Ameri can Indian is taken in infancy and reared under the influences of civilization some thing could be made of him. But for the brawny buck that annually rides on raids there is no hope. With the treachery of centuries instilled into his un reasoning nature, he is fit only to slaughter and plunder. His animosity knows no limits. Women and children, prattling babes, are fair game for his rifle and his knife. Nor is it revenge for fancied wrongs alone. He Dractices out rages upon women prisoners that would shame a fiend, only to butcher the helpless victims of his lust. We speak of the average Indians; there are exceptions. For adult “warriors” who murder and ravage there should be swift and unrelenting punish ment, just the same as is meted out to white villains of the same class. Tiie dwellers at Long Branch are dread fully excited because of the conduct of Mrs. Langtry and Mr. Gebhart. It appears that the couple proceeded to the Branch in a special Pullman car, and, instead of taking lodgings at a hotel, the car was switched on a side-track and the two spent the night in the coach. Mrs. Langtry’s indiscreet con duct—to use a very mild term—has about exhausted the patience of decent people, and the sooner she takes herself out of the coun try the better. Even if she took Gebhart along the popular grief would not be beyond the reach of consolation. Mrs. Langtry has violated society’s laws and customs to such an extent as will render her a social outcast henceforth, and she will deserve and receive but little sympathy. The world sometimes agrees to condone faults like hers, but it never pardons such transgressions because a woman has personal beauty only; if she has commanding genius or talent, a different ver dict may be looked for once in a long while. Special agents of the Department of the Interior have unearthed a number of fraud ulent individual land entries in the West, and the aggregate amount restored to the government up to date is 56,000 acres, with numerous cases yet to be examined. This is a laudable service on the part of the Secre tary of the Interior, and it is to be hoped the investigations will be continued and ex tended to the examination of large grants made to railroads and other corporations, wherein there is question as to their right to hold them because of non-compliance with conditions upon which suoh grants were made. The people of the country are con vinced of existing abuses in these matters, and will look to their public servants who have them in charge for a prompt and effi cient remedy. It may as well be announced now that the day is past for the office-hold er and politician to bank upon public prop erty, whether it be government lands or what not. The bank robber and all others of his class may as well make up their minds that hid ing places are out of the question. Francis M. Kerr skipped out of Chicago some time ago with SBO,OOO ia embezzled funds and weut to Callao, in the South Sea, but he is now under arrest' en route for the scene of his robbery for trial and punishment. About the only enjoyment for these embezzling rascals is what they can have before detec tion. The idea of final escape by flight must be put out of their thoughts. With the facilities at hand, and the proper dili gence on the part of the officers, in most cases a telegram can be lodged at the des tination of the fugitive in advance of his arrival and by means of which he can be taken into custody at once. There are no bounds to justice as there seems no limit to crime. _ It is well to say again that there should be a full attendance at the Republican pri maries to-morrow night, and in every ward an earnest effort made to send delegations to Saturday’s convention representative of .the Republican vote. Let every prearranged “slate” and “committee” be incontinently smashed and done away with. All Republi can voters should start in on a plane of per fect equality. With such primaries and with a convention really and properly representing the Republican party of the city, there will be perfect satisfaction and complete success in October.

THE DEAD WIFE’S SISTER. The Defeat of the Proposed Change in the English Marriage Laws. History of the Measure—Mr. Chamberlain's Advocacy of the Bill and Its Opposi tion by the Bishops. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Jouraal. London, June 30. —The rejection by the House of Lords, on its third reading, of the bill to legalize marriage with a deceased wife’s sister, after its second reading had been sanctioned, is an event which, besides being almost unprecedented in the legislative cus toms of the nation, strikes such a cruel blow at so large a class of her Majesty’s subjects and presages such great changes in the English constitution, that I am sure people in the United States will be glad to have an explanation, both of the event itself and of its probablo consequences. This bill has had a strange history from the first. A measure of a similar character has been passed by the House of Commons seven different times, and just as often has the upper chamber re jected it. In the present instance the pro posed legislation originated in the upper chamber, and the second reading was con sented to a couple of weeks ago by a majority of seven. A year before, by a majority of three, the same body had refused acqui escence in the measure. At the time of the bill's passage for second reading there was a full house present, and the majority, though small, was considered fair and decisive. The opponents of the bill had fought hard to crush it, and, not being able to do so, they were deeply mortified; but that they would show such an utter disregard of all precedents as to continue the conflict and seek to snatch a victory at any future stage of the bill’s progress, was not expected at first by any one, not even by those gentle men themselves. This surprise movement •was evidently an after-thought, and it is in teresting to note what gave rise to it. Con temporary with the second reading of this bill in the Lords a great demonstration was held at Birmingham in honor of John Bright. The speeches made bn that occasion, of which my letters have already apprised your readers, will be long remembered and promise to have a very wide influence. A peculiar interest is given to what Mr. Bright said, by the fact of his having since been hauled over the coals for it in the House of Commons, and his addresses then made 'possess the additional and very sad interest of being in the nature of a valedictory, for he had just announced that he must leave the platform hereafter to younger men. But Mr. bright was the setting sun at that great demonstration, there was also a rising luminary present, and the beams of light shot forth by this new orb have penetrated further and have produced greater results, so far, than those reflected by the one now sink ing in eventide glory toward the hori zon. Mr. Bright referred almost wholly on that occasion to the past, but Mr. Chamberlain horoscoped the future. He announced the programme of the ad vanced liberalism of the day, the cardinal features of which were manhood suffrage and the disestablishment of the church. AN AFFRONT TO THE HIGH-CHURCH PARTY. Incidentally, too, Mr. Chamberlain cast some reflections on royalty. Now, this bold man is one of the most influential members of Mr. Gladstone’s cabinet, and is admitted by even his worst enemies to be in the line of Speedy succession to the premiership. For an ordinary member of Parliament to have spoken in such a strain would have been bad enough, but for a man of commanding influence, and who in a sense represented the government, to so speak, was simply intol erable, and the high church party resolved to have revenge. What specially rankled in their breasts was the threatened revolution of disestablishment. In many ways latterly has the influence of the church been under mined. and here, thought they, in this new marriage law is another wedge of separation. To jreaoh tips conclusion was the easiest thing 'imaginable from their st md-point. for jn jjte first place this bill is favored by all dissenters, and all dissenters,.as a matter of course, favor the severance of church and state. Then, the principle of the bill con travenes the stipulations of the Book of Common Prayer, and anything that detracts from the authority of that oracle lessens by so much the power of the eccleciasticism it represents. Besides, there was a provision in the bill which gave dissenting ministers an apparent advantage over the clergy in the celebration under certain circumstances of the marriage ceremony. To be sure this was a conscience clause inserted for the special relief of said clergy, and was a clause, too. which, had the representatives of the church been willing, would have been gladly dispensed with by the supporters of the bill; but they were not willing—neither content to have it taken out nor satisfied while it remained in. How could they be. in the nature of things? After having fought for dear life for every inch of privilege that the legislature has compelled them to share from time to time with their non conformist brethren, was it to be ex pected they would consent willingly to yield to the latter anything looking like a palm of official superiority? Could those whoso long barred the chapel minister from the church graveyard, and cruelly usurped from him the sad comfort of uttering the final prayer over the dead of his own flock, and who for so many years kept from him the privilege of marrying his own people, and allow him to perform that ceremony even now only when a registrar is present to see that no wiong is done—could such as these be rea sonably looked to for concessions such as this new marriage law contemplated, which would place the chapel ahead of the church in certain cases, and give the minister what might, at least, seem like a superior legal right over the parson to celebrate a partic ular clnes of marriages 9 This was certainly not to be expected, and it was viry easy for the church party to persuade themselves that tins was another point at which the bill menaced the dignity and security of the establishment. Hence, touched to the quick by the Birmingham pronunciamento, they resolved to renew' the battle and to strike another blow for ehurch lv domination on the occasion of the third I reading. It was a desperate resort, and, I some think, as unscrupulous as desperate; but men in desperate straits will leave no j stone unturned to accomplish their object, and they are r.ot always particular about keeping within strict lines of honor. A MENACE TO THE THRONE. That fear of this growing sentiment for the separation of the church from the state was really the predominant motive of the opponeifts of this measure, and the one thing particularly which incited them to the final attack, is abundantly evidenced in many ways. The tenor tin Speeches shows 't The Duke of ManbwH in'K, in moving the rejection of the bill specially emphasized j that portion of Mr. Chamberlain’s speech j which appeared to be disrespectful to the royal family. His argument was that not only church but the thror.o was menaced, and that the two must stand or fall together. But Mr, Chamberlain merely said with refer ence to royalty that none of tbal class were present to do honor to Mr. Bright, and that j “nobody missed them.” This was very mild in comparison with what h* said against the church, and when it is remembered that the royal family are more solicitous than per haps any one else in the realm to have this bill passed the strained reasoning which would convert the bill into a blow at the Queen’s authority appears in its true light, and i9 seen at once to be a groundless assumption. The Queen's sons, it should be said in this con- j nection, stood by the bill to the last. They j were all in at the death, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Albany being present and j voting, and the other two pairing with ab- j sen tees. The failure of the measure will be felt ver} r keenly in the royal household. The j effect it will have on the mooted match be tween the Prince of Hesse and the Princess Beatrice can only, of course, be conjectured. If, however, the affair is one of love we can j scarcely imagine that it will be broken off, j nor yet can we suppose for a moment that the royal pair will commit the grave scandal of marrying while the law continues to for bid thorn. They must bide their time, as they no doubt will, and seek solace in their isolation by thinking of the good time com ing. But the strongest proof of the chnrchlv animus of the opposition is in the attitude and uncompromising hostility of the bishops, the lords spiritual, as they are called. If these gentlemen can only he relied upon to fight the devil with half the zeal and de termination with which they have antagon ized this innocent marriage law amendment, we may expect shortly to hear the old fellow cry for quarter and to see a British millen nium ushered in. It is, in fact, solely at the door of these ecclesiastical legislators that the bill’s defeat must be laid. But for their votes the measure would have received a majority at its second reading, not of seven merely, but by twenty-seven, and notwith standing that many of its supporters were absent, it would have had twelve majority, but for them, when its third reading was moved. Thus, as the Daily News points out, this score of lords spiritual have accomplished the defeat of a measure which the voice of the country demanded, which two-thirds of the members of the House of Commons were ready and anxious to vote for, which the peers temporal have favored by a consider able majority for a number of years, and which but two weeks before was passed by a fair majority of the entire peers, including both the lords temporal and themselves. By this act the bishops have exercised a veto power such as, in the view of the News, not even the sovereign of the realm would have dared to exercise, for the veto power vested in the crown has fallen into practical dis use, the Queen having come to feel, doubt less, that to cross the will of the two houses on any subject would be almost as pinch as her place was worth. The paper referred to goes oil to say, with reference to these bishops: ‘They are not usually found -in their places when great measures affecting the welfare of the people are under discus sion. The seats apportioned to them are often empty, or but barely occupied, when questions which greatly concern the highest interest of the nation are undergoing a criti cal division; but on a matter in which they think the wishes of the nation are out of harmony with the presumed law of the church, their zeal is awakened and their votes are ready. One great objection to the law which the bishops have retained is that it produces great social evils among the poor, and those evils will henceforth be chargeable to the lords spiritual. Such persons are anomalies. Their position ana power are used not for national but for sectarian, or, at any rate, for ecclesiastical purposes; and the nation will seriously consider whether they should not be entirely limited to their pas torial duties in their own diocese.” A DEMAND THAT MEETS A PROMPT RESPONSE. What adds weight to the utterances of the News is that it is the organ of the present government. Its leading articles are inspired by Mr. Gladstone, and some think he occa sionally writes for it. This, however, is not likely, inasmuch as he is paid a large retain ing fee as an exclusive contributor to Nine teenth Century. The demand of this paper that the bishops shall be deposed from leg islative power will meet with a response from the country such as may perhaps sur prise their lordships. Calls for public indig nation meetings are already out and there is to be sharp firing, we are told, all along the line. Should the extreme zeal of these ops cost them their seats the world will have another illustration of the old adage that whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad, and that event may be followed by other great changes. I suppose really that in the course of a few decades the House of Lords itself will be swept away, or will at least be modified into a representative body after the fashion of the United States Senate. This is the radical programme certainly, and if radicalism is the backbone of the Liberal party, and if it be true that the radical mem bers of the cabinet are its controlling force, which is now generally admitted by all care ful observers, what changes need be account ed impossible? Meanwhile the three or four hundred thousand interested persons who are once more relegated to a state of bastardy or bigamy, after havirig had one foot for a cou ple of weeks inside the boundary lines of le gitimate wedlock and proper parentage, and the other equally interested, and even more interesting persons who are on the edges of the matrimonial cliff without the legal right as yet to plunge themselves over, must bide their time, like the Prince and Princess will have todo. They will not have to wait until the House of Lords has been abolished, nor, necessarily, till the peers suiritual have been squelched. A little agita tion in the Commons and among the people, and a few more grains of common sense, driven by the force of public opinion into the omniums of those who sit in the upper chamber, aiul in a year from now' all will be so lovely and the matrimonial goose of the deceased wdfe’s sister be hanging in such alti tudes of popular favor that every unmarried lady in the country will begin to wish she were in the shoes of that fortunate indi vidual, while the effect on delicate wives, who are in danger of leaving marriageable 9isters behind them, will he such, no doubt, as in some instances to save the ancient hus band not only doctors’ bills but funeral ex penses and tiie trouble of beginning his court ing over again. In the British House of Lords there are fourteen Roman Catholics. By a strange co incidence, seven of these supported this bill and seven opposed it. and a discussion is now in progress as to which of these best served their church. Those who opposed the bill contended that'such a course was demanded from the fact of the church law opposing such matches, but the others allege that while the law of the church condemns such marriages they are nevertheless often permit ted by special dispensation, and these justify their support of the bill by the desire to give to the parties to such unions, and to their offspring, the civil and legal rights of which the law in its present state deprives them.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY', JULY 12, ISS3. THIS ARCHBISHOP’S FUNERAL. The Most Solemn Services Ever Seen in tlie Cincinnati Cathedral. Cincinnati, July 11.—The funeral of Arch bishop Purcell, one of the most solemn serv ices ever seen in the cathedral which he built, occurred at 9 o’clock. Crowds were at all the gates seeking admission with cards previously distributed. The body of the cathedral was soon filled, and then others were admitted to stand In the side aisles. The center aisle was kept clear. Seats were pro vided on the platform for the press. The body of the dead Archbishop lay as placed yesterday in the casket at the head of the main aisle, with the face visible to those in front. Tlie interior of the cathedral is heav ily draped. Bishop Elder, coadjutor of the deceased Archbishop, was the celebrant of the occasion. Rev. W. J. Halley, assistant president; Rev. J. C. Albrech. deacon; Rev. J. B. Murray, sub-deacon; acolytes, Rev. H. Ft mending and Rev. F. X. Dutton; book bearer, Rev. P. A. Quinn; candle-bearer, W. H. Sidley; censer-beafer, Rev. Edward Hickey; master of ceremonies, Rev. H. Mueller; Rev. Thomas S. Byrne, J. F. Schoenboeft, Pall-bearers—Rev. J. J. O’Donohue. Rev. B. Menge. Rev. CharlesHahne, Rev. H. Kemper, Rev. W. W. O’Rourke and Rev. R. F. Doyle. Fully one hundred priests in white, in addi tion to the bishops and archbishops in pur ple, were on either side of the main altar, while the priests selected tor chanting occu pied the main aisle. It was 9:20 when the organ proclaimed the beginning of the cere monies. During the robing of tlie celebrant, a bass solo was sung by T. J. Sullivan. Then followed the solemn ritual of the pon tifical requiem mass. Tlie musical portion consisted of an introit, by a male chorus: a gradual, by chanters; Dies Iras, from Mozart’s Requiem, by quartet and chorus; Domino Jesu, by a male chorus; Sanctus Benedictus, Agnus Dei, by a male chorus: communion, by the chanters; line Absolutine, by chant ers and bishops; Miserere, by a male chorus —the whole under the direction of J. A. Brojckhoven. The music was of a high order of merit, and was rendered with deep feel ing. The elevation of the host was marked by a most profound devotional attitude throughout the whole of the crowded cathe dral. At 11 o'clock, mass being ended, Bishop Gilmour delivered the eulogy. He began by reference to the high office and high re sponsibilities of the priesthood. There were two orders in society, human and divine. Icings and magistrates represent the human; the priesthood represents the divine. This gives this scene its significance. The Bishop gave a brief biographical sketch of the life of the deceased, dwelling with em phasis on the severe labors performed bv the Archbjshop.in the early years of his appoint ment to the diocese ot Ohio, and showed what a mighty power the dead prelate wielded in the Catholic growth in the West. Fourteen priests of fifty years ago had in creased to 4,800, the sixteen churches to 500, and the G,OOO Catholics to 500,000. Arch bishop Purcell, it was true, was aided in pro ducing these results, but to him belongs the honor of outlining the great work. Speak ing of his financial failure the speaker said it was commented on most widely, but not even his bitterest foe ever charged Archbishop Purcell with personal dishon esty or evil intent. Poor he came into the world, poor he lived and poor he went out of the world. The pathway of his whole life was strewn with works for the poor. When passions have calmed and impartial history is written, Purcell’s memory would rise far above the shadow of reproach. He mistook the principles on which business must be conducted, but he was not guilty of wrong. He closed with a touching and eloquent trib ute to the personal character and moral worth of the deceased, during which many were in tears. The sermon was followed by the solemn ceremony of absolution, repeated by each of the five archbishops present. It was 12:45 o’clock when this was ended, yet the house remained packed as at the beginning. The procession then formed, marched through the streets, returning by the cathedral, where it was joined by the hearse containing the remains of the Archbishop and proceeded to tlie depot to take the train to St. Martin’s. The funeral train bearing Archbishop Pur cell’s remains consisted of four cars, carry ing Archbishops O'Connor and Gallagher, Archbishop-elect Elder, and lifty priests, to gether with about one hundred others. All along the route great crowds were gathered. The train stopped at the principal stations, the casket was ope net!, aim the people per mitted to view the body. Arriving at West boro, where tlie body had to be taken from the railroad, there was a great number of people in vehicles in waiting to join the pro cession to the convent of St. Martin’s. The body will lie in state there to-night, and the burial take place to-morrow. THE TELEGRAPHERS. 1 A Positive Statement that a Demand Is To Be Made for Redress. St. Louis, Mo., July 11.—It is asserted here, to-day, by parties usually well informed that the executive committee of the Brotherhood of Telegraphers held a meeting at New York last Monday, at which they discussed the grievances ot the brotherhood and formu lated a demand for a redress of them, which will be presented to the general managers, or other high officials of the Western Union Telegraph Company next Monday. If this demand is not acceded to within forty-eight hours after its presentation t the company it is alleged that a strike will be inaugurated, and every member of the brotherhood quit work. This executive committee is com posed of one representative of each of seven districts into which the brotherhood is di vided, and it is said to have absolute power to act in this matter. The Strike Deport Unfourrted. Pittsburg, July 11.—Thomas Hughes, sec retary of the Telegraphers’ Brotherhood, said to-day that the report that a strike of telegraphers is imminent is unfounded. “We have not decided to demand an increase in wages, or anything else,” he said, "and if any demand should be decided upon, it will not be made secretly, and no attempt will be made to take snap judgment on the telegraph companies.” Other persons assert that the strike will take place next week, but Hughes’s statement is generally regarded as authoritative. The Western Union Isnties New Utile* for Its Goverment. New York, July 11.—In reference to re cently published reports of contemplated changes in hours of labor, salaries, etc., of employes of the Western Union Telegraph Company, careful investigation develops the following facts: The company has had j in contemplation for some time theadoption of new rules for the management of its busi ness. The committee having the matter in charge have been holding meetings every week for the past three months, and have finally made their report, which has been adopted by the company. One of tlie most i important rules in the new code is that de j terinining the hours of duty and manner of 1 paying for extra service, the settlement of which question has heretofore been left 1 largely with the superintendents of the j company, whose practice has varied accord- ing to the requirements of the business, af- fected by climatic and other considerations. The following is the rule adopted: At all independent Western Union offices, which may ho required to Keep open nil day on Sunday, nine hours actual service in the day, six days in tlie week, amt seven horns actual service at nighr. seven nights in the week, will constitute the daj work. All service in excess j of the above named hours, including Sunday, will he regarded as extra, and be paid for at the regular salary, on the basis of seveu hours to a day. The above order was issued to-day, and is interpreted by some of the operators as hav ing been forced from the company by the fact that the Brotherhood of Telegraphers had demanded certain concessions and threatened a general strike unless their de mands were at once complied with. Tlie officers of the company state that no de mands have been made upon them of tlie kind indicated, and it was necessary to issue the present order now, because its operation affects the accounts of the company for the current month. It was intended to have the new rules take effect at the beginning of the company’s liscal year, July 1, but the print ing of the rules had been delayed unavoid ably until tins time. THE CIVIL SERVICE. Under tlie New Law in tlie City of Philadelphia. Philadelphia Times. Common Council Chamber would not hold half the applicants, and the forty-four men who went to serve the government in the custom-house were sent into the Select Council Chamber, and the fifty-two who may some time in the years to come fill clerk ships in the postoffice or in the departments at Washington were turned adrift until 1 o’clock. The batteries were then turned on the men who want to carry letters. J. M. Gregory, of the Civil-service Commission, had charge of the examinations in this class. Os the 100 men who were examined in this class all were young men, and three were colored. The work of examination began by each candidate filling out a blank, giving his name, residence, place and date of birth, education, experience in business and in tlie public service. Having finished this bio graphical and historical sketch without a serious mishap, the class was ready for a lit tle exercise in literature. Dr. Gregory read slowly fifteen lines from the civil-service act, the candidates copying it upon blanks as he read. They were then directed to write from memory the names of fifteen States and cities of this country. The States and cities were named without muofc difficulty, but one of the examiners who moved about among pupils, said the spelling of nearly all the applicants was bad. TWefi more of the civil-servicC act was copied, this time from the printed copies be fore them. This exhaustive and arduous lit erary feat accomplished, they were immedi ately plunged deeply into the mysteries of arithmetic. Several simple problems in addi tion and subtraction were given out, and the I unfortunates brightened up under the ini- j pression that the arithmetic ordeal would j not be as trying as they expected. This de- lusion was destroyed when the examiners propounded the following conundrums: “When board cost $3.76 per week, what will it cost from March 15 to July?” “How many times is seventeen cents con tained in $10,000.10?” “There are $703 to be divided between nine men and three boys. The boys are to have $25.50 each; the residue is to be equally di vided among the men. What is each man’s share?” They wrestled with these problems an hour before all the answers were in. The sufferings of the embryotic carrier were, however, slight when compared with the sufferings of those who aspire to clerkships in the postoffice. In this class were seven young and pretty women, whom the examiners said were the most proficient scholars of the lot. Oue ex aminer predicted that all the girls would pass. The fractions, however, played havoc with the masculine applicants. They counted the cost of twelve ounces of salt pork at $13.87 X A per barrel, and computed the interest on fabulous sums of money deposited in banks by office holders, who only retained 2J4 per cent, of the princi pal. These and many other won derful things they did, not to speak of the townrf and rivers and railroads and States itlwy named, and did or did not locate. One young man said: “If ii is as hard work as this at Washington I don’t want an office.” The examination of candidates for places in the custom-house was carried on tiie select chamber. L. I). Thoman, of tlie civil service commission, conducted the examina tion, assisted by the committee from the cus tom-house. The geographical Knowledge is required to be of different character from that of a letter-carrier. The latter need only know' the names of fifteen States and cities, but a future employ of the custon-house must know and be able to write the names of an equal number of seaports and navigable rivers in the United States. More than this they were expected to tell how the water of Lake Michigan gets into the ocean, besides stating the term of office of ten presidents. The essential characteristics of a republican government and the functions ot its depart ments and the definitions of the various parts of speech came next in regular order. Not least among the tests of statesmanship ap plied is in that provision which says: “Write a letter, addressing it to the Presi dent, and giving your views, as far as you are willing to express them, in regard to the duties and responsibilities of an officer in the public service which you seek to enter.” All were willing to express their view's ex cept one, and lie informed “Dear Mr. Arthur” that the writer was trying to come up to the requirements of the civil-service law, and said if ever he got an office he would thank the President personally. Some of the letters were addressed to plain “Air. President,” and some to “His Excellency Honorable Chester Allen Arthur, President of the United States,” while one started off'with charming familiarity, “Dear Chester.” All these ap plicants. whose average is sixty-five out of a possible 100, will have their names placed on the register of available material with which to fill up chinks and crannies in the public service.

The same kind of pork results from feeding hogs on mostly animal food, as at slaughter-houses, and from irregular feeding, or from killing sows when in heat. To pro duce pork that will not shrink in the pot. first, it is desirable to have a good breed of hogs; they should never h* allowed to fall gff in condition from the start they get with their mother’s milk, ami never know stint or stunt while alive. Early in autumn they should be taken into the pen in high order to finish the fattening process. It has been dem onstrated time and time again that one bushel of corn fed in September and Octo ber will make as much pork as two bushels fed in December and January, hence the ne cessity of the early fattening of the hogs. Grape Rut ami Mildew. Vick’s Monthly. Trials made, last year, in bagging grapes to protect from rot, proved again that, this is an effectual remedy. Amateurs who lose their grapes by rot will do weli to practice this method of protection. On a h.rge scale in vineyard culture it will probably he too ex pensive. It consists in enveloping each bunch of grapes in a small manilla bag some time after the fruit is set and before any rot appears. The bng is secured bv a pin thrust through une corner. The mildew of the fo liage of grape vines that is so disastrous in many places, it is said, can be wholly pre vented by an awning or cap over the trellis. These caj* have been made by nailing boards about a foot wide along the top of the trellis posts, but it is now found that common sheeting three-quarters of a yard wide, stretched alone over the tops of the vines, about six indies above them, ami supported bv wires, to which it is fastened by pins, an swers equally as well, and is much cheaper. This kind of awning will last four years. A Scrap Bag. Kw York Evening A pretty scrap bag Is made by taking four pieces of java canvas a quarter of a yard deep; cut the corners off so that the pieces shall be jHiinted at the bottom and rounding at the top. If of blue all-wool Java, work in embroidery silk a pretty design on each piece, a fan on one, a Kate Greenuway figure on another, in bright colors, yellow and pink being especially pretty. In order to have a guide to work by, trace the design on some very thin paper, paste this to the canvas, and after working the lines pull the paper care fully out. Then with worsted the color of the canvas crochet one or two rows of close work around each piece and. crochet them together; finish with a cord and two tassels, and have either a ribbon to linng it by, or another cord and two tassels, ora cord alone. 11.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Thr People’* Railway Company of America. To the Editor of tlio Indiana noils Journal: A# the humble projector of the People’s Railway Company, the writer dd not assume I that an undertaking of such magnitude could be set forth in its infancy in such a manner as to be clearly comprehended by all, and therefore wan prepared for adverse criticism. While holding an honorable posi tion among the business men of this metrop olis, with a record for honeaty and integrity ©f purpose attested by its best and most in fluential citizens, he had the right to expect from the press an honest and intelligent crit icism concerning the enterprise, and toward t.mse who are directly associated with it. It is with some surprise, therefore, that it is rii covered in a paper occupying the position oi the Journal, an exhibition of such zeal in condemnation of this company and its sys tem, without a clear knowledge of either; that it should denounce the enterprise as a scheme for robbery, gulling and deceiving the people, with but a superficial knowledge of its purposes and plans. You are aware that no representative ©f the Journal has ever called for an in terview, or for reliable informa tion concerning the company, but your paper, assuming, for its own reasons, a fraudlent purpose, denounces the enterprise *s a fraud, and presumes to question the honesty of those associated therewith. The spirit of vituperation and misrepresentation you have shown are unworthy a journal yf such acknowledged intluence; therefore the writer begs to submit a few points for your own and public consideration. These are submitted, not alone in justice to liimself, but more especially with regard to those who are associated with him in this e-reat undertaking, and who. clearly compre hending the system, were kind enough to express the fullest faith in its success, and foe honesty and integrity of Its founder, by giving him its chief executive office. In its infancy, it is not strange that some fmnerfectrons should apieor. which, when odjusted to the general plan, would readily ha made to harmonize; but, whatever these may he, there is m> ground for the assumption of fraud you so persistently charge. You surely cannot fail to accord some de gree of justice in the publication of this arti t ic. neither can you reiterate the charges of fraud or dishonesty in those engaged in this •Miierprise, without an exhibition of unfair ness which would indicate extraneous influ ences or personal malice. ‘The People's Railway Company of Amer ica.’’ now duly incorporated, is ba*d upon TUoec correct business principles which will bear the closest investigation. It aims, in the n*wt practicable manner, to harmonize loiter rod capital involving community of interests mVi benefits. It seeks no deception or wrons in its plans or purposes; but on the contrary, the welfare of those participating in it. and the prosperity of the country by the accomplishment of a laudable enterprise through combined action. To use an illustration, agreeing it is a l o'-se. we claim that it is a white one in every respect, while the Journal insists that S is u black one, which can only he attributa b>. to color blindness, and ‘‘none are so blind as those who will not see." answer to the charges made in your l*'ter. which have a personal reflection, I pleasure in restring to the following sis business men. to whom l am i>er ton.tily known or have had financial decl ine- with, as representative men. who will pqiun O.; ft. billy A Cos., Columbus.

Emi Kennedy. President. Snipe Current Political Questions, To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The defeat of the Republican party in the Imi general election in several of the States lias given rise to g great deal oi discussion, and many reasons are given for the defeat, ud much good advice offered for the future, fpiiere is one reason given for this defeat .wrhich I do not think has been given the con sideration its gravity and bearing deserve. •At no time In the past has there existed such 4 restless and unsatisfied feeling among the laborers of the country as at present, and Republican voters who have to support ’themselves and families by manual laber be iieve that the party should long spice have taken a strong stand in favor of further pro jection of their interests, i The laws regulating capital and labor, and their relation to each other, were enacted years ago, and at a time when commerce and (manufactures were in their infancy, and the productive interests of the world undevel oped. and while they remain without change very thing else connected these great interests have been revolutionized. The channels through which labor is employed and the connection therewith have greatly changed. Even the manner in which the la >or is performed and the mode of using capital for such purposes is no less changed, much of which has taken |!ace in the last twenty-five years. The trades, as once carried on, are almost dp mrayed. One seldom sees an apprentice. Invention and machinery have displaced them. Invention and machinery have like wise changed the channels and the manner of carrying on the commerce of the country, und laid the foundation for monopolies arid lho concentration of capital into gigantic en terprises. Btrikes were of seldom occurrence fifty years ago. But the concentration of capital and the employment of large bodies of laborers, often under the control of a single person, and almost always under the control of a srirgfe interest or a combination of interests, withont competition in the em ployment of labor, has compelled the labor ing classes to combine in some form of or ganization to overcome the dependent condi tion in which their individual efforts place them. Even farm labor is now performed, to a great extent, by machinery. Inst end of the reaping hook and the field lull of hands, we have the great reaping and binding machines doing nearly ail the work. It is unnecessary to continue the contrast between the manner of performing labor at the present with that prior to the wonderful inventions and improvements in machinery. It is not surprising that this condition of things has, for years, been creating a restless disposition among the laboring classes, the growth of which has been gradually ami steadily increasing, widening, dee(>euingand intensifying until its workings have de veloped into the various labor organizations, unions, granges, Greenback party, etc. These organizations are mere experiments of men desperately in earnest to find a remedy for their wrongs. Os course the efforts to unite the diverse interests of capital and labor have not been .satisfactory. It has been an attempt to legis late for the protection of the rights of men, without authority or power to enforce its enactments. The failure of every effort to provide any adequate remedy, and the discouragements the ref run, together with the many inflam matory appeals of demagogues anu fanatics, have, of cite years, greatly increased ibo restless spirit of the labor element, and, as usual in such cases. the party in power is accused of all tho wrong, and thousands of Republicans have been led to vote against the party for tiiese reasons alone, and thousands of others, being dissatisfied, have staid at home, not voting at all. In my opinion.it has been this dissatisfaction of the labor element of the party that has lost it more votes than ail other questions beside. That these are great and serious questions not only to the party, in a party sense, but also to the country, cannot he questioned by any one who has given the subject that con sideration it deserves. And it will not do for the blind zeal of old fogyism for things of the past, or for the selfish interests of capital, to underrate and make light of the power and influence of the friends of these great questions; and the party that fails t© recog nize the justness and righteousness of these principles will surely soon he left far behind in the race tor victory. The important question, of course, is the remedy. Where there? is a wrong there should and must be a remedy, otiiar wise, go Vermont is so far a failure. For it is the duty of government to protect all persons in their rights, especi ally the weak, and those unahle, from any cause, to protect their own interests, and stand independent of those whose power would oppress them. Again, law’s that have been enacted to pro tect people whose commerce and industries have been changed and completely revolu tionized since tlreir passage, eanoot, iu the nature of things, be all they should be. And it is from the laws, and the laws alone, that relief must come, if relief iu any adequate form come at all. It is a fundamental principle of good gov ernment that all its citizens should have the opportunity to labor at remunerative wages, and tiiis return}ergtioti should be so regulated by law and custom, that not only the laws of production and compensation be consistent and equitable with each other, but that every one performing labor and service should be compensated as near as possible equally and equitably with others perform ing labor and service of like character. It is poor economy in a govern ment to permit any of its citizens to remain idle for want of opportunity to labor. Every day idled away by a tramp is so much lost to the body politic. A government that per mits its citizens to be unemployed for want of the opportunity to labor greatly fails in its high functions of governing. The importance of these questions cannot be over-estimated, and that something will be done by some party, in some manner or other, there can be no doubt. Would it not be wise for the Republican party to take a stand in favor of the government recogniz ing the just demands of its citizens who pro duce its wealth, and without whom no capi tal could be produced, than to permit ex treme measures to be forced upon the coun try? The losses now accruing to the public on account of strikes are a heavy burden, and to the laborers and their families it is the most desperate of remedies, und the next thing to mob law, ofteu ending in the worst of mobs. It will be difficult to make laws at once that will work a cure. It will require ex periments in the best of faith before u com plete remedy is provided. But steps taken iu the right direction will suggest others, and once measures arrived at ami inaugu rated, looking to a remedy, it will bring en couragement to those who feel something should be done and extreme measures pre vented. There are a few things that seem quite plain should be done, among which is the change of the Departiueutof Agriculture to a labor and agricultural department of government, with a number of bureaus, among which the States should be so divided us to extend every facility to the people for acquiring information; such bureaus being in direct communication with the several States, and aiding, as much as possible, all schools of mechanics, agriculture, science, etc. It seems to me there ought also to be provided a more expeditious and less costly mode for the collection of the wages of the laborer. There ■houLl be a tribunal es tablished by law for settling and determin ing what would be fair and reasonable wages to be paid by the employer to the employe, where there Is a dispute as to what price should be paid. This tribunal should take ihe place, in set tling prices and disputes, now held by labor unions, strikes, etc. It should be illegal for any laborer to strike for higher way:es until the question is submitted to this tribunal and its decision given: and, in like manner, no employer should be permitted to reduce the wages of any employe, against his consent, until the questiou be so submitted to such tribunal. In other words, every question of dispute between employer and employe should be submitted to this tribunal for arbitration. For this no pleadings should bo required, but such tribunal should be compelled to thor oughly investigate the demand or subject of complaint, and the employer should be required to make all necessary showing of his business, under oath, and his books should be open to the tribunal, that tije qestions might be fully examined. And in case a business is being carried on qt a loss, either employer pr employe should have the right to submit to this tribunal Che question as to what reduction in wages and what im provement in the business would prevent such loss, and what arrangement would be fair and equitable between the parties in sus taining the loss. It should be further provided by law that persons out of employment and unable to procure it, should be employed at the ex pense oi the public, and a mode should be provided by which labor should be furnished such nerspns at reasonable wages, for the rea son, first, that it is poor economy for the public to allow able-bodied persons to re main idle for want of employment, and, second, the encouragement given to the em ployment of machinery by the public lias deprived hundreds of employment. There should be aid and encouragement given, by law. to societies and schools for the education and improvement of workingmen. Societies of this character have succeeded iu a degree highly satisfactory in parts of Ger- THE tNDIANAPOUS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JULY "12, 1883. many. Consul J. S.

Hee consul report for 1831 at page 37L The Republican party should not hesitate to do as it always Ims heretofore done—esnouse the cause of the wronged. It should boldly advocate the un questioned rights of labor against the present condition of things. The party should not hesitate, for the business of the conn try de mands it, justice requires it; extreme meas ures should be prevented; the interests of capital and labor should be combined, har monized, and equitable relations established between them; and only in this manner and working with these objectn in view can the party hope to regain the confidence of the laboring masses. Let the party look well to these interests, and stop the hue and cry that office holders are presumptively thieves and ras cals. Reform the civil service after rules of com- I tuon sense, giving no heed to mere theorists without experience. These positions, with a stand in favor of protecting American indus tries, will make the Republican party invin cible. It will give the party life, vitality and pluck, and these, with the right, will ever prevail. T. J. Cason. Lebaxon, July 3. Acton Cm) Meeting:. To the Editor of the InrtianaDolla Journal: •I was made glad by the resolutions passed at the Methodist preachers’ meeting in which they deprecate the Sunday management ut Acton, and call upon the association to close ita gates on Snnduy to all comers. Will any good come of it? Some, but I fear very little. The Methodist preachers of Indianapolis have it in their power to stop the disgraceful Sunday business at Acton, and to this ex tent are, therefore, responsible. The resolm lions, as they stand, will do little good; but, just let our Methodist city pastor say to the Acton camp-meeting managers, "Close your gates on Sunday, or we will not come neap your meeting, Sunday or week day,” and til© gates will be closed, because they cannot run the camp-meeting without the city pastors. But so long as the pastors will attend the meetings, and aid them, the association cares nothing for all tho resolu tions that may be passed. A number of the city pastors have already resolved not to go near the camp-ground unless they do close their gates on Sunday. Now let all of them do the same, and the gates will be closed. The root of this Sunday camp-meeting business is the money that is in it, which, in the balances with conscience, makes con science kick the beam every time. For several years the camp-meeting association has been receiving from the radroad com pany ten cents for every ticket sold to the camp ground on Sunday, in violation of the laws of the Common wealth, of the M. E. church, which forbid* buying and selling on the Lord’s day, and of God, Two years ago. under outside pressure, the association voted not to receive this Sunday money any longer, and published it to the world that this objectionable thing had now been put away. The honesty of this thing, or better, the dishonesty of it, came out when, at the close of the year, the treasurer, after reading hie report, said he hail another re port. which was submitted, and showed that he had $1,300 in his possession, a present from the railroad company—which meant that the railroad company had carried 13,000 persons to the grounds on the two Sundays of tl# meeting—and. with a single protest, the association voted to receive the "gift." Last year the railroad company presented the association $1,500, and it accepted it likewise. And thus the devil is whipped around the stump. The time will come, I think, when the Methodist preachers who are parties to these disgraceful thiugs will have to take the back seat, and then we may hear pulpits that are now silent on the Sunday question ringing out faithfully against Sabbath desecration.

A VEItY BUM GAME, j‘ CT The Indianapolis Club Allows a Kinder* garden Nine to Beat Them, It has been remarked by someone that the un cxpectedjhappens oftenest.or words to that effect. Without further preface the announcement Is made that the Indianapolis base-ball olub was beaten yesterday by the Fort Wayne kindergar ten nine by a score of 5 to 4 in a game requiring ten innings to decide. McKeon and Keenan were the battery presented by the Indianapolis club. The result is accounted for in two ways, viz.: by tbe fact that Reid, at second base, considerately donated tbe game to the enemy by dropping three short flies at a critical moment, allowing them to score. O’Leary tele graphed last night that he had sent him home, and would release hiiu to-day. The other ground on which the defeat may be accounted lor is that the veriest chumps may sometimes scratch iu a victory over a good club, which is what happened yesterday. If the Fort Waynes can beat the Indianapolis hoys in to-morrow’s game they cau break a good many pretty good people in this vicinity. The following special dispatch to the Journal was received late last night, and places a very difft-rent aspect on the game from that indicated by the above, which was written under pressure: ‘•Fort Wayne, July 11.—O'Leary lost the Same with the Fort Waynes to-day by letting a ot-grotinder pass him in the sixth inning whereby two men came in from third and sec ond bases. The game was played in ten innings and was a splendid exhibition of batting and fielding with a score of 5 to 4. Dorgan, Callahan, Kerins and Keenan made runs. O'Leary says the ball struck an obstacle in front of him and flew over his head.” Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS The Union Railway Elect, a Vice-Presi dent and General Manager, Large Earnings Predicted in the Fall Months—The Excursion Business Over done—Trouble Brewing. AN EXCELLENT SELECTION. V. T. Malott Elected Vice-President and General Manager of the Union Railway. The directors of the affairs of the Union Rail way Company met at Secretary Jackson’s office yesterday. There were present J. N. McCul logh, vice-president of the Pennsylvania lines; Manager MoCrea, who is also president of the Union Railway Company; Wiu. R. McKeen, j president of the Vaudalia, and M. E. Ingalls, president of tbe 0., 1., Bt. L. and C. The reor ganization of the Union Railway Company was briefly discussed, but no definite aetlon was taken, as vice-president McCullough was obliged to leave for Chicago at ll:2o a. m., and President Ingalls uppeAred before the board of equaliza tion yesterday, which occupied two hours of his valuable time. The only action of importance taken at the meeting was tlio election of V. T. Malott, of this city, vice president and general manager of the Union Railway Company and Belt road, nnd a better man they could not have hit upon for the posi tion. Now, it is safe to assume that prompt steps wi:l be taken to harmonize the interests of the several roads at tins point as regards ter minal facilities. With this done, anew Union depot is a fixed fact. Mr. MaloU’s ability as a railroad man, and to fill the position of vice president and general manager, which ho has accepted, will not be quest iouod. Mr. Malott began railroad life on the Indianapolis Peru road in 1862 as ticket agent aud secretary, and shortly after he was elected treasurer as well. In 1870 he took supervision of the building of the Michigan City Indianapolis, which, through his efforts, was, in 1871, con solidated with the Chicago, Louisville fe Cincin nati and tbe Indianapolis Peru road, making a through line from Indianapolis to Michigan City, known as the Indianapolis, Pern Chicago road. In 1875 Mr. Maliott was elected assistant te the president, which position lie held until 1879, when David Macy, the president, re signed, aud Mr. Maliott was elected vice-presi dent and general manager, the office of presi dent being iioiuiual after Mr. Macy resigned un til 1881, when the L, P. &C. passed under con trol of the Wabash, Bt. Louie Pacific. Mr. Malott is now vice-president of the three com panies which compose the Indianapolis, Peru Chicago Railroad Company, which leases to the Wabash. Last evening President MoCrea rather surprised Unsle Billy Jackson, treas urer of the Union Railway Compauy, by marching into his office with tbe newly-elect ed vice-president and general manager, V. T. Malott, and introducing him. Uncle Billy at ouce took in the situation, and pleasantly re marked, “Well, you could not have suited me any better.” RAILROAD EARNINGS. Prospects Good for Large Earnings During the Fall Months. June earnings are now being published, and with bur few exceptions show an increase over those of the corresponding mouth of 1882, not withstanding the talk of light traffic, and the railroad earnings for months past certainly are encouraging signs of tbe times; and as ordi narily reported, they have made an impressive shoving, but in a great many oases if increased mileage had been considered the result would have been very different. It Is true that new roads cannot be expected to earn as much as old, but it is not proper to leave it entirely out of tbe account. The Rail road' Gazette has compiled figures for May from 34 roads having 50,264 miles of track—over half the total of the couutry—and finds a de crease of average earnings per mile from $557 to $543, or 2 1 per cent., as compared with the same month of last year. The 10.4 per cent, of new road yielded 7.6 per cont. increase of earn ings. There was a decided increase per mile iu the Boutl and Southwest, in the East (where there is comparatively little new mileage) but slight change, aud in the West a decline. For the five mouths ending with May there was, however, again in earnings of 7-10 of 1 per cent, on 79 roads. The railroads may therefore be said to be doing well. While the outlook for a heavy traffic in the next twenty days is not flattering, the business of the fail and early winter promises to be heavy. The wheat crop may not cut so large a figure in the tonnage earned as last year, yet the time has come when freight men do not place wheat as the chief article in traffic. The corn, oats aud hay crop, and live stock movement, now figure prominently In freight busiuess, and at present writing this class of traffic promises to be much heavier than in any year since 1880. It is also quite evident that west-bound business this fall is to be in excess of any former year, and if the pools manage to hold rates, railroad earn ings for the six months to coiue will he highly satisfactory without doubt. EXCURSION BUSINESS) The Grand Trunk Carrying the Unproflta- V bio Ba fitness to Extremes. 8. F. Pierson, vice-pool commissioner of the trunk lines, is now busying himself in an at tempt to put a check upon the Grand Trunk, which is doing an immense excursion business at the expense of its competitors. The Grand Trunk has secured the bulk of this class of business because it has made lower rates in con nection with the Western lines than have the New York trank lines. It could not be pre vented from making such rates as it liked, be cause it has never joined the Eastern passenger pool. Tne other eastern lines, being in the pool, could take no action individually, and conse quently joint action had to be taken in the mat ter. The trunk lines evidently do not know what rates the Grand Trunk has made, or is now making, on the east-bound excursion i*usi nesß, and for this reason they request the West tern lines in competition wltn the Grand Trunk to advise the commission of the rates made by the Grand Trunk and its Western connections, bo that they may he able to meet the competi tion. To say that the prospects are excellent that this wiil lead to trouble, is not speaking too strongly, as the trunk lines canuot afford to be lookers on. GENERAL NEWS. A New and Cheaper Method of Constructing Railroads. John M. Reid, of Allegheny City, has patented a design for laying steel or iron railroad rails that he claims will forever bar accidents caused by the aitchlDg of traius through the expansion or contraction of rails by heat or cold. The ob ject of the Invention is to produce a bolter rail way, more reliable and safer than heretofore, and without lateral or vertical motion. Instead of wasting so much timber in ties, Mr. Reid pro poses to have only 900 ties per mile of siugle track, and these need not he more thau seven feet long by five inches square. He then lays tim ber cushions or beams under both rails, length wise, twelve inches deep by six inches thick, the beams having a length wise groove to receive the diaphragm of the rails, completing both ties and Cfisbionff with not more than 6,300 feet of pre served wood. The crown or upper part of the rail, which is subjected to friction, is made much heavier than usual, the base is made broader, with a lengthwise diaphragm below to resist lateral pressure. A safety-stay coupling, made of cast steel, is fitted and inserted in the abut ting ends of theruils. These aro held down by heavy screws in the wood cushion beneath. In addition to the safety guarantee in this inven tion, it is claimed that it is cheaper and can be kept in repair for much less cost than an}' other method iu operation. It will be noticed that Mr. Reid’s device is much the same as that of Thomas Johnson, vice-president of the Indian apolis street-railway. The track laid about one year ago, mi North Illinois street, is similar to that which Mr. Reid has secured his patent on. After Its Percentage of Live Stock Traffic.

With reference to the communication of “An Elder,” In yesterday’s Issue of the Journal, a member of the Presbyterian Ministers’ Associa tion stated to a reporter of tbe Journal that “Elder’s” statements were without warrant of facts, and that no elder is in a position to know what occurs at the meetings of the ministers or to represent their views. Said the reporter’s in formant, further; “The association met, as usual, on Monday morning, had occasion to meet again in the af ternoon, and at both gatherings discussed va rious matters of interest to the churches of the order in the city. They had a large attendance, and it is sufficient now to state that their most Important conclusion was reached with but, one dissentient voice. The religious public may rest assured that not one of their number is opposed to the tabernacle movement, as such, and that all efforts put forth in a Chris tian spirit to evangelize the masses will command their warmest support. If they refrain from giving public expression to their views touching the location of the pro posed tabernacle, or the proselyting methods, so offensive to the spirit of the age with which the movement has been furthered thus far, it is not because they lack the courage of their opinions, but because they do not wish to put a straw in the pathway of Dr. Pierson’s accepting or re jecting the same. If tbe occasion calls for it they will speak in no uncertain voice.” United States Court Notes.
