brought up several times in the Cabinet meet* ings of late, and that the President in his message to Congress will urge a liberal appropriation and decisive steps towards the general reconstruction of the navy. He will take the view, gossips say, that though there is no danger of our being drawn into any of these Eastern difficulties on water we should have a number of good ships for police patrol and for a basis of action in the event of a war of our own. Work in the Treasury Department. Special to the Indianapolia Journal. Washington, Oct. 18. —To day I asked an old Treasury clerk if it was true that the department was turning out a great deal more work now than under former administrations. “More comideted cases have been sent out than usual, hut the work has been almost exclusively confined to finishing up matters partially completed under the former administration. Prom now on there will be less progress •for awhile than was made by the former people. So far it has been a spurt, and the showing has been good and satisfactory, but the average in the year will show no improvement." The New York Campaign. Bpei'lal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Oct. 18.—It is generally anticipated here that the struggle over the impending campaign in New York will be much fiercer on account of the Republican victory in Ohio, and the result is placed much more in doubt from a Democratic view-point, A number of Ohio Republicans and Democrats in the departments did not go home to vote last week, but this will not be the way the New York election will be run. Since the President and his secretary will go home to vote, the lesser government employes will follow the example without fear. General and Personal. Washington. Oct. 17.—Tbe Secretary of the Treasury has approved the bonds of Capt David R. Ashbury, as supervising inspector of steam vessels at St. Louiy, Mo., and his commission was forwarded to him today. The sanitary precautions adopted in the transmission of Italian mails intended for this country during the prevalence of cholera in Italy, have been ordered discontinued, and the mails from that country will now be carried in the regular open pouches. The commission of James F. Hoaly, as assistant treasurer at Chicago, was sent to him today, together with a letter of instructions from the Secretary of the Treasury, in regard to the transfer of the office to him. It is expected Mr. Healy will assume his duties on Monday. Charles F. Olney, late assistant postmaster at Clarksburg. W. Va., has been indicted for opening mail matter addressed to other persons. From the inspector’s report it appears that he had a rival in the affections of a young lady living at Clarksburg, and could not resist the temptation of opening their letters and informing himself as to his rival’s progress. A warrant was issued forchis arrest. Indian Commissioner Atkins, who has been inspecting the Southwestern agencies, will-hold a conference next week at Muskogee, I.

Report of Minneapolis Convention. The whole idea of suffrage has been based upon the principle that to each particular class should be left the protection of its own interests. The nobles wrestled their rights from King John, the wealthy land holders gradually attained political power, and the suffrage went down the social grade by one reform bill after another, until it now embraces nearly all the male inhabitants of England. Each reform has been based upon the agitation of some excluded class, and granted for the purpose of enabling them to protect their own interest. We embraced this principle at tho outset of the government in our declaration that the just powers of government are derived from the consent of tho governed. Yet we violate it when we deprive one-half of our entire population of the right to give or refuse their consent to the government which controls their acts. We dema id woman’s suffrage for the simple justice of the thing. We say that a man is willing to accord to every human being the same rights that he claims for himself. The old code taught submission, “slaves, obey your masters;” “wives, obey your husbands.” Then came chivalry, which acceded as a power to a few that respect which ought to be regarded as a right due to all, but the age demands something more than these at our hards. In the words of John Stuart Mill, “The morality of submission and the morality of chivalry are past. The time has now come for the morality of justice.” Wo can see the advance of society in respect of woman's suffrage, just as clearly as in respect of other civil rights relating to property and marital relations. The English are sometimes more radical reformers than we are, and they are ahead of us in this matter. Unmarried women who own property can now vote in municipal elections. So can they in Sweden, Ontario and Nova Scotia. This has been accomplished by laws passed within a very few years. Now tako the original condition of women among savages and look at the growth and civilization in all these matters, and can any one doubt that the ultimate result must be the final absolute equality of woman with man before the law in respect of every civil and political right. We want equality in marriage, equality in the right to select an honest employment for which she can show that she is capable, and ws—x-<tnt complete equality of suffrage. This, and nothing else, is complete justice. Nature imposes burdens enough in woman. Man should not add to them. I want the door to the fulfillment of every honorable ambition thrown open just as wide to my little girl as to ray little boy. Ido not want the gates of any employment shut in the face of either. We ask you here to-night to aid by your words and influence in the speedy accomplishment of a reform which is a matter of simplo equity to one half the entire human race. ”

AMERICAN CHILDREN’S MANNERS. An Englishman Takes Them Over His Knee and Savagely Uses the Slipper; Mr. Rala’s Letter, in London Telegraph. The steamship Australia was infested by a small but determined gang of wnat I may term fiend childreu —American children, I am sorry to say—and lam sorry to add that they were all children of saloon passengers. There were several well-enough conducted babies in the steerage, and a few tolerable toddlekins in the intermediate cabins; but a more exasperating set of little desperadoes, male and female, than tho first-class brats it would be difficult to imagine. I am passionately fond of what Leigh Hunt used to call “the small infantry who go to bed by daylight,” and I know that I love and fanev that I understand the pretty ways of ordinary children; but when the “email infantry” assumes the aspect of so many diminutive zaptiens and bashi-bazouks in miniature, when they decline to go to bed by daylight, or by lamplight either, until they are driven like sheep in their bunks; when from sunrise to supper time they never desist from impish tricks, the “small infantry” become to you objects, not of tenderness and sympathy, but of terror and horror. The leader of the gang was an attenuated girl-demon of about nine or ten. She and the sallow-laced little goblins whom she led made our lives miserable. They ran races in the saloon; thev made raids on the steward’s pantry; they blocked up the companion; they worried the cooks in the galley; they raised commotions in the forecastle; they sprawled about the hurricane deck, stoppine up with yells of exultation the ventilators, which should have given a little air to the aptless passengers, sweltering in the cabins below. They perched on the taffrail, and were in continuous peril of tumbling overboard; they bung on the rigging, and made Gordian knot3 of carefully coiled ropes; they burst into the smoking-room, and disturbed the quietude of the five gentlemen who were constantly playing poker in that divan; they ran between the legs and all but destroyed the equilibrium of tho smoking-room steward, who. periodically brought “drinks’' to the five pokerplayers; they overturned the deck chairs and made holes in tho awnings; they derided rebuking quartet masters, ami spoke to the man at the wheel —and all this they did, not in the exuberance of infantile animal spirits, but in a sheer spirit of wanton turbulence and “cussedness,” wholly unchecked by their mammas or other female relatives, who were either too seasick or too lazy to look after and control them. Our captain was shocked, but it was not until late in the voyage, after we had had one or two good “northers” and a “southerly buster”—that is to say, stiff gales with a heavy sea running—that sea sickness came to our aid, and for a while partially paralyzed the activity of these imps of the ocean. Murdered iu His Own House. Little Rook, Ark., Oct 17.—Henry Murphy, a well-known planter, living near Desarc, shot and killed George Clark and wounded his wife, on Wednesday.

THE FIELD OF LITERATURE. The first impulse of the book trade foreshadowing the approaching of the annual holiday demand is now apparent In the way of books prepared evidently for that trade and to be offered as souvenirs, Thomas Y. Crowell & Cos., New York, as usual, come forward with something beautiful and desirable. This time it is Tennyson’s poems, complete, illustrated, and printed and bound in the height of the art with gilt-trimmed beveled covers and gold edges, it is indeed an elegant volume, makine it a very desira ble thing for a holiday or birthday gift It contains nearly 900 pages, and the price ($5) is certainly very cheap for it. It is a credit to a house famous for beautiful and excellent work. In the same lino Houghton, Mifflin & Cos., Boston, offer the poems of Whittier in fine quarto style, gilt and bevel covers and gold edges. A fine portrait adorns the volume, and the illustrations, by Elbridge Kingsley, add to the beauty of the volume. The text is printed in pica type, on extra heavy book paper, on one side of the sheet only. It will find many admirers. Price, $6. Houghton, Mifflin & Cos. have also issued two volumes of the life and correspondence of Louis Agassiz, beine edited by his wife. Harper & Bros, have published T. W. Higginson’s larger history of the United States, being a history of the country from its early settlement to the close of Jackson’s administration. Its illustrations are numerous and fine, the portraits of distinguished men being particularly good. In the line of boys’ books of travel and adventure the Harpers present “The Boy Travelers in South America,” by that great juvenile storyteller Thomas W. Knox, lt recounts the sights and adventures met in an extended tour through South America, and its multiplied illustrations make the text thoroughly enjoyable. These popular books make geography and natural history teaching very easy. All the above are sold by The Bowen-Merrill Company, Indianapolis. New Books Received. Drawing in Charcoal and Crayon. For the use of students and schools. By Frank Fowler. New York, Cassell & Cos.; Indianapolis, Bowen-Merrill Company. Price, including plates, $2.50. From this little book the student may gain a very fair start in the use of pencils and crayons, the instructions being plain and simple, and the illustrations excellent If a fault may be found with the plates, which are heliotype sac-similes of crayon work, it is that no complete representation is given of the capabilities of the form of art. The book, however, is, as has been said, an excellent one for beginners.

Good Housekeeping enters its second half year with an encouraging prospect of assured success in the field which it has undertaken to fill.

Estes & Lauriat. of Boston, will publish for the holiday season an unusually handsome illustrated edition of Moore’s “Lalla Rookh.” The illustrations, made from drawings by leading American artists, have been reproduced by a special process known as photo-etch-ing—a process which originated in Vienna. Two editions of the work will be issued, one in vellum, and a limited edition de luxe of 500 copies, printed on imperial Japan paper.
