FRIDAY. DECEMBER 31. IMfc A DOUBLE SHEET TO-MORROW. The News will be a double sheet on Saturday, and in to the usual complete news departments will contain a number of special articles written for The New*, among which will be; "HOW I LEARNED HOUHEK EEPIXG." Part fi. by Marian Uarland, relating how -My brst company dinner la served.” "LIGHT ROLLS FOR •fJEAKFAST AND TEA,” by Eliza R. Parker. -PRISON LIKE IN SIBERIA,” by Colonel Thomas W. Knox, the well known author. A picturesque, entertaining sketch, the result of Colonel Knox’s personal observations when traveling In Siberia. "STRATEGIC REPORTING.” The exciting adventures of a mining reporter in Calilornia, by Mariner J. Kent. •THE DISTINGUISHED DEAD OF 1*37” by Henry Ward Beecher. -NEW YORK LETTERS,” by Kink, Amos J. Cummings and Blakely Hall. "LITERARY LETTER,” by William J. Bok. -A SUMMARY OF THE LOCAL EVENTS OF 1886.” “HOW TELEGRAPH IT TO THE HOYS” originated. -SOME OLD INDIANAPOT.IS PAPERS.” "ONE LIFE," by OUa Perkins Toph. “HAVE YOU SEEN SAM.” A Sketch ot the Know Nothing order. ▲▼BUNG, the socialist, it seeetns, was a fraud. A* the stuff he talked was mostly fraud, here were two frauds with but a ■ingle thought—which seema to been to get aa much notoriety and money for nothing as possible. ____________ WHEN one recalls the solemnity with which Mr. Cleveland, in his letter of acceptance, assured the country that he would be a one-term candidate only, It is somewhat demoralizing to hear the daily talk about his second term, and the unbroken assumption that he will be a candidate for it.

I a spite pf the troublous state of the labor world which the dawning of the year witnessed, every material industry has prospered. There has been 1ms dire went and mors general comfort than most years record. The result in nothing has been surer Indicated than in the universally enormous Christmas trade. No such trade bps been known in the country’* history, and not uoe single portion of the land has failed to share in it. This mean* that soma little surplus has abided over and above the smail earnings, for trade so universally great, is caused by the thousands of email purchasers rather than by the dozen* of big ones. Indianapolis has not failed to be a part and parcel of this pleasant progress. Her prosperity was never more solidly real than it is to-day. In the year goue it has come to “hard pan.” The inSation of the real estate speculation with its long aud grinding shrinkage to natural proportions has in this year pretty well come down flat all around. The misfortunes, which staved off for years, culminated in some bank failures, bat cleared away that wreckage. General business on long credits has come along to a “bankable” basis, and in general and particular, in large and in small, Indianapolis has worked its way down to solid ground and out ot the woods, and to-day we doubt if any city in the country is in better shape or looks to the future with hopes better'founded.

j Every day Is a fresh beginning. ! Every morn is the worM made new. You who are weary of sorrow and sinning, Here Ua beautiful hope for you: A hope for me and a hope tor you. All the put things are past and over. The task* arc done and the tears *re shed. Yesterday's errors let yesterday cover; Yevtcrday's wounds, which smarted and bled. Are healed wuh the healing which night has shed. Yesterday now is a part of forever; Bound up in a sheaf, which God holds tight. With glad days, and ud days, and bad days which never Shall visit us more with their bloom and their b’.ignt. Their tuitness of sunshine or sorrowul night. i

Only the new days are our own. To-day is ours, and to-day alone. Here are the skies all burnished brightly, Here Is tne spent earth all reborn. Here are the tired limbs springing lightly To face the ran and lo share with the mnrn In the chrism of dew and the cool of dawn.

“SCRAPS.”

Wr Americans have been putting our self-righteousness through its best paces, without any pretense of such a purpose, though, in the face aud eyes of the English aristocracy. The whole nation must feel more or less of the humiliation that attaches to such foul revelations as those made iu the Campbell case, and illustrate anew the wellworn truth that the only disgrace that can affect a whole people is that caused by their own conduct. Individually, it may be repelled by everybody, but nationally the odium that it is an English acandal, an English shame, will stick. The repudiation of her bonds by Mississippi iu the last generation was repelled by every other state, but the dishonor could not be rubbed from the Americau name and annals by the process. Just now comes fully to general knowledge another shame that will spread all over the laud, explain and deny as we may. Lik* repudiation, it is local iu origin but general in dishonoring effect. It will be remembered that UcQuadc, one of the “boodle” aldermen of New York, who was bought by Sharp, the street-railway sharper, on his first trial escaped conviction by some private influence that reached a part of the jury in spite of the usual precautions. The next time he was convicted on the first ballot, every juryvoting him guilty. Now the way this difference was produced is worth the

Georgia will plant less coitou and more wheat next year. Profanity is the jim-jams of language.— [Whitehall Times. Edward Harrigan’snew play will be called “Moltooney’a Viait.” We love justice greatly, and just men but little,—[Abbe Koux. Parnell is said to receive more letters and answer iewer than any other man in

Europe.

It is said that the edelweiss, the famous flower of the Alps, is found on Mount lUnier, in Washington territory. A practical "joke,# which momentarily terrorized him, has driven a young man named Goodbart, of Reading, Pa., crazy. The Paw Paw (Mich.)Courier has a subscriber who, during all the time he has taken the paper, which is upward of forty years, has annually paid for it in wood. A Persian philosopher being asked by what method he had acquired to much knowledge, answered: “By not being prevented by shame from asking questions when I was

ignorant.”

A firm of railway contractors at Syracuse, 111., has built 1,H0() miles of railway during tiie present year. This amount, it is claimed, is more than ever built before in a year by any firm in the world. The widow of General Custer is now iu Rochester, X. Y., iu good health, despite recent rumors to the contrary. Though past middle age, Mr*. Custer preserve* her youthful and comely appearance. Chevalier Van Elewyek, of Louvain, has just perfected, after thirty-eight years of labor, a machine lor recording all music extemporized on the piano. His invention is worked by means ot electricity. The Egyptian name for the cat was chaou, or, according to some Egyptomologists, inaou, the-lattcr name being imitative of the animal cry. The familiar name of “pus*,” apparently, has also come to us from the

A Boston street-car conductor says that of

FIRK DEPARTMENT KOTES. Hose wagon No. 1 will be placed in service next week. The firemen were paid their salaries for the last half of December to-day. The fated hose wagon of engine company No. 4 has met with another accident. Henry Cook has been assigned to duty as permanent hoseman at engine house No. 3. One-third of the bell alarms of fire during the year have been discovered by the tower

watchmen.

The snow aud cold weather is making considerable work for the firemen in keeping the cistern caps clear and loose. Chicago has introduced into their department a combined hose carriage and chemical engine. It’s a novel piece of fire apparatus. The veterinary surgeon has carried the hors£s ot the department through tne year without a death. This is an unusual record. John Carver, of engine company No. 5, and Ed Coats, of engine company No. 6, are both on the list of injured members, but not of a serious nature. The proprietors of the Dime Museum are preparing to fight fires by having several fire extinguishers taken from the dork corners and pat in working order. The watchmen ou the court house tower will open the new year with a new register in their six by six station, and every visitor will hereafter ue compelled to register be-

fore leaving.

The contract for hose wagon No. 8, has been awarded to Messrs Bernd Bros. A Co. This completes the list and all companies are now to have wagon* and the last hose cart

will go soon.

The tower watchmen have lost by theft daring the past few weeks three water and one coal buckets. Tbey desire to say that persons desiring buckets tan be accommodated by calling upon them and thus evade

the sin ot larceny.

The rumor now is that George W. Bishop, engineer of steamer No. 2, will be succeed.*!! by Stoker Albert Pease, whose position will be taken by Samuel Maxwell, and Bishop will try hi* hand nod skill as hoseman. The changes, if made, will take effect to-morrow

morning at 7 o’clock.

The storage of oil and powder in quantities more than is permitted by law, will result in an extraordinary conflagration in the wholesale district. Coal oil by the score of barrels are to be tound in the rear of several business bouses on South Meridian street and the carelessness ot an employe is all that is

needed to start the trouble.

There is probably no class of men who have more time to gather their thoughts than the firemen, yet they have their minds taxed in a peculiar manner, and one that seldom comes to any other profession. The last thought at night is uoou the sounding of the gong, and when sleep comes lo his relief there is no telling what condition the mind was forsaken. Imaginations of every sort is generally the result. Only last week Tim Nolan, at headquarters, was subjected to one of these visiis. He bounded from his bed, let a “yelp” and disappeared the pole to the engine room. He was awakened by the rebound, after striking the floor and found himself nil alone. He states that he was under the impression that one of the boys had called him. Others have been known to get out ot bed, dress and get down stairs, under the idea that an alarm would soon be sounded, and it has proven a good move in several instances, as the idea was followed by the promised alarm.

Indianapolis ie already having its attention called to the great harm to our industries which the proposed congressional law controlling the railroads will produce. “ 'Twos ever thus,” it would seem. It would seem that any effort toward curbing great corporations was always against the interests oi the dear people. IT is deeply gratifying to see the way in f *l»which the popular subscriptions for Mrs. i.ogan are mounting up. If republics are ungrateful the people thereof are not, at least not this people. They honor themselves in such demonstrations as this. General Logan deserved well of his country and he died poor. It is as graceful as it is generous for a common impulse to place his widow in a condition of entire comfort. THERE is to be another effort made to have the coal operators and miners of the United states to adopt a general scale of wages and prices. Whenever the coal miner* of this country vote td have the tariff ot 75 cents a ton taken off of coal, they will then slit the weazand of the coal monopoly and compel it, through fear of competition, to conduct the coal mining industry of the country on a natural basis, and so be unable to turn the miners idle for half tha year while this monopolized market uses up the supply at enormously enhanced priees. M-akk New Year's calls to-morrow! It is a good custom, and “it’s American, you know.” For that reason it is repudiated iu New York City. For that reason (and because it is a wholesome custom) it should be maintained in the remainder of the country. One of the deficlenoiee of American life is social interoouree. We have so taught ourselves and been taught by our surroundings to pursue the almighty dollar that some of the finer features of character are fading trom lack of development. Anything that will break the intentness of our gain-getting is of advantage. New Year's oalling is a small demonstration to that end. It affords an opportnnity for the renewal of acquaintance and the making of it, and may become an impulse toward cultivating social amenilies. 1 Thi New York Sun object* to civil service examination* because the; have a Chinese origin; and ret the San haa nothing to my against the art of priming, which is thought by many to have a Chinese origin.

And that mighty handsomely settles the “un-American” nonsense that is urged as a supposed argument against eivil service reform, and any reform which strikes at settled •buse*.

A Holyoke (Mass.) thread manufacturer bas received from Leeds a large skein of black silk which bas laid in a poud since the Mill river disaster, which wrecked his mill, with others, in 1S74. This souvenir of the flood was tound Septembers, and although it has lain in the pond twelve years the silk retains its color, ha* a good gloss and the thread is strong, which shows the almost indestructible nature of the material. Mr. Bernard Quaritcb, the London bookseller, offers for sale a perfect cony of the “Psalterium” of Johann Fust and Peter Schoeffer, bearing date August 29, 1459. It is the second book printed with a date, and, according to Mr. Quaritch, “the grandest work ever produced by typography.” The Mazarine liible is comparatively a common book by the side of it. The price asked for this literary treasure, which comprises only 136 leaves, is 5,000 guineas, or $26,260. When the presiding elder presched recently at Hermitage, Mo., he wae much annoyed at the sound of a small bell which rang whenever he was particularly emphatic. At last he stopped In the sermon and said: “I once knew a man to ring a chestnut bell in ehnrch and go to the penitentiary for it.” Thereupon one of his hearers stepped to the pulpit and moved a small call-bell that had stood just under the edge of the big Bible in such a position that when the elder banged the book tho bell

rang.

William T. Shermau. general, and John Sherman, senator, met at the Garfield Hospital fair, in Washington, the other night. “How are you enjoying yourself?” inquired the latter with the air of a martyr. “Splendidly!” exclaimed the general, slapping his brother’s shoulder enthusiastically. “Why, John,” he said, “I’ll bet I’ve shaken handt and spoken with more oeople since I came into this room than you nave in ten years.” *T’ve no doubt of it,” was the dry response. "If I shook as many hands and spoke with as many people in the past ten years as you have 1 wouldn’t live two year*.” Fob the sum ot “a quarter” Each son and each daughter Ot Adam can feel quite secure; No colds will assail them.

The Central Labor Entertainment. The second annual entertainment by the Central Trade aud Labor union was held last night at Tomlinson hall, and it was attended by representations from all the labor organizations in the city. The program included an address by W. I\ Smith, of the Central union, on the work and future ofthe labor organizations of the country, and he was introduced by B. F. Rogers, who was the presiding officer. Mr. Smith said that the organizations were "formed because the workingmen of the republio beheld the wealth rapidly passing into the hands of those who do not produce anything and to those who give nothing in return,” and tho object “ia to find out why this is so, and, if possible, right the vrronc. If it is wrong to do a wrong, it is not right to submit to a wrong.” He also said that much had been done by the Central Labor union to enhance the interests of its members, and that through its instrumentality the labor party had secured five representatives in the legisiature. A portion of his address was also taken up in advising the membership to steer clear of politicians, who only wanted tbeir votes. The program further included humorous recitations by Burgess Brown and P. J. Kelleher, and a burlesque on a German singing society by C. A. Winter,W. G. Thurber, \V. Winter and J. D. Gates. Dancing was had until a late hour. Cloie of the Chea* Tournament. The state chess tournament has closed with Paul F. Kubne, of Fort Wayne, as winner of the major, and G. G. Lague of tb*t minor class prizes. The latter gave every one a surprise. C. Metcalf, after the play around, in which he had not lost a single game, was expected to win easily. He had won the game he plaved with Lague, but in the play off Metcalf scored only game for himself. Mr. Kuhne, of the major class, won three and lost two, and had one game forfeited to him. N. Willett stood second in the first contest in the msior class, and should have plaved off with kuhne but tor the fact that he is a non-resident of the state. Mr. Kuhne is twenty-six years of age, and acquired his chess education in Germany. The association is now firmly established and promises to be

a success.

A C. railroad for injuries in tile Broad Ripple accident, amounting to a little over $5,000, has been paid to the county clerk. The lawyers have placed a lien on the money tor $1,500 for services. Other person* to whom Pedigo had assigned a part of it in payment ot obligations, have also given notice to the clerk not to pay oat the cash. Pedigo claims that his agreement with his lawyer* was for $500, although the attorneys claim to have a written understanding with him for $1,500. The clerk will retain the money until the conflicting claims are settled. HORSFORD’S ACID PHOSPHATE FOR IMPAIRED VITAUTT. Dr. F.

DIPHTHERIA! SAVE TEE LIVES OF YOCR CHILDREN

CXTILDRKTN. Parents are very often worried about a child that shows signs of drooping and loss of appetite and no desire to join in the sports of their playmates. It is hardly seriou* enough to require a physician, but it is plain that the child needs something. It is not prudent to force into the young and undeveloped systems strong and nauseous drugs, but a medicine that will aid, invigorate, enliven and thoroughly cleanse the system by gentle means is what i* desired. Bimmons Liver Reguiaior is a medicine of this kind. The child will not rebel against taking it, because it is not unpleasant to the taste; it doe* not compel them to remain indoors, and it does not weaken or injure the system. It can safely be adminutered to the youngeat infant. “I have used Simmons Liver Regulator in my family for eight or ten years, and found it the best family medicine I ever used for anything that may happen.”—[Ovid G. Sparks, ex-Mayor of Macon, Ga. J. H. ZEILIN & CO., Sole Proprietors.
