Warden Howard still goes up aad down tha earth aad walks to aad fro in it, and Users Is none to molest him or make him afraid. — A St. I/>C1* paper hat opened its columns to oplniotix ax to when the nineteenth century ends and the iweatteth begin*.

According to their lately-assumed position, this is tntireiy illegal, and they are using money to which ao lawful titla exists. Will they pay it back? The pretense that the actual, not the rightful, status of Green Smith was changed by the decision of the supreme court, which was simply a declaration that the oourt would not decide anything about that status, ia unworthy of the shrewdness that sees the obstruction of public business in the only branch of the legislature that is ready and willing to attend to business. The de facto power of the senate’s presiding officer is admitted to have been complete up to the time tha supreme court refused to suy whether it existed at all. But sinca that decision is changed “the case bis changed. Mr. Robertson’s titla to the chair, and Green Smith’s actual power ia gone. He is neither de jure ner de facto president of the senate." The senate say he is both, and that he h de facto president seems vtsy plausible to anybody who sees him in the choir and hears him addressed As “Mr. President.”. If the blockade organ does not see this, it is probably from its boasted ability to make its observations "with its eyes shut.’’ The de facto position of Mr. Smith can be Mttled in two minutes, by the house sending to the senate a completed bill reforming the Southern penitentiary and the insane asylum,and asking its eoncurence. If Mr. Smith is not the actual presiding offleer, the senate has none and can’t receive the bill. Try it and settle the question, just for luck, ti not fbr the benefit ot public in-

pabliaaa members are recognizing Green Smith enough to draw their pay. Yet they can’t continue to recognize him enough to give the people their pay—needed legislation. They are like the boy who was too sink to go to school but just sick enough to

Rome Kemarks on Rdacation. Mr. Yonnegul’s defense of German ia n communication to this paper, begins with an inierenoe teat The News is afraid that tee German language might interfere with the public welfare, which fear Mr. Voenegut proceeds to allay by citing the tact that German is so difficult to acquire, (sad therefore it can’t spread so rapidly). He thus offers a strong protest against the children’s time aad the people’s money being wasted ia such acquisition. To take both for the attainment of so abstruse a thing is beside the purpose of a common school education. This admitted abstruse ness is also strong evidence, if not proof, of the fact teat the aceomplijhment of our public schools in this particular is to convey, at best, a “smattering." As to to the fear of The News that the German language might seriously interfere with the public welfsre, it is not a fear, but a fact. It docs interfere, not ia the way Mr. Yonaegut bints at, but by wasting time and nroney. Mr. Vonncgut’s hint is that it migbr supplant English. How smasinglt is to assume that a languge so difficult of acquisition, as Mr. Vonoegat testifies, a language so harsh, guttural and involved, Qoutd keep pace with the facile, direct, swift-spoken English —how amusing such an implication is, we doubt if Mr. Voouegut can appreciate. He says it is a great accomplishment to speak two languages. So it is. The wisest mind of modern times, the glory of Mr. Vonnegul’s owa race—Goethe—has said (free translation) that “as many languages as a man speaks, so many times is he a man.” But this is beside the point. Our common i school system is not for the purpose of teach'ing accomplishments; and if it were, and a a choice of languages should be made to represent this accomplishment where would German stand beside French—the language of diplomacy and polite society the world over? As for use, where would it stand beside the Spanish? There are 40,000,000 Spanish-speaking people to the south of us with whom we are someday to have intimate trade relations. We can never, ia the nature of things, have any snoh relations with Germany, If we want something in flic way of use, Spanish is the language; if something in the way of accomplishment, French; in neither case German. Yet, as a tact, we are wasting, wc said, $9,000 a year in this city teaching German. Mr. Vonnegut says not so, but that it is only $<>,000. We call his attention to the following official figures of

The local papers havr so completely ignored the institution that there are many in Wabash and adjoining counties who have never heard, or, at best, known but littlo of its purpose, and yet those who are familliar with the good that ia being done pronounce it one of the most important benevolent iastitutions of the state. White’s Indiana Manual Labor institute is pleasantly located four miles and a-balf scat beast of Wabash, in Wabash county, and one mile and a-balf north of Treaty, a small station on the Cincinnati, Wabash A Michigan railroad. "Indiana was inserted in the title to distinguish it from its sister institution in Lee county, Iowa.

On Sunday evening Patrolman Bruce and partner, ia carrying oat orders to enforce the saloon law, made a descent on the Swiss society gathering at Keichwein’s hall, and placed the bartender, Frank Gisier, under arrest. This morning bis attorneys presented an agreed statement of facts, which had been approved by Deputy Prosecutor Wright, and asked for a ruling, aud it was this statement which the court declined to consider. It set forth that the Swiss Maennerehor was the society in question, and that it held a meeting at the time indicated, at which time beer was provided by the society and was drank by the members and invited gnests—the public not being admitted. It was also alleged that this beer was sold in less quantities than a quart, and that for

Bbmator Bailey said that blits could be passed up to Monday evening, providing that the governor waived hia constitutional privilege of bav-, inr three days previous to aUJourumeut to con/ aider bills.—{SemineL Senator Bailey is not an authority on con•titutioBal construction, hr anything elae. Section 14 ot article 5 of the constitution ■ays: "Bat no bill shall be presented to the governor within two days [not three] next previous to the final adjournment of the general assembly.’' This is mandatory, and the command is operative bn the general assembly and not on the governor. He could not iraiva a constitutional order if it acted upon him, and be certainly can’t do it when itacts on somebody else. In point of fact, legislation has been carried on and completed after tfce expiration of the two days’ limit, but it was done witffbut the order or connivance or even knowledge, in some cases, of the governor. The legislative limit has been oonstrnsd from the first to bsgin at midnight of Saturday. The two hands together at 12 was the signal to quit, except upon such work as each boose could do for itself. In one memorable case, in 1857, Lieutenant Governor Hammond stopped the senate clock, or lot somebody else do it, a quarter to 13, and ao time stood still till broad daylight Sunday morning, while the republicans were trying to get throogh the contested election ceses, in the order of business, to the appropriation bills, and tho democrats were trying to prevent it, and did. The situation la reverend now. It is the democrats who are ready to complete legislation and the republicans who Ore resolved that it ahall not be doao, and that nothing shall be done unless Green Smite is put out of the senate chair aad Mr. Robertson put in it. The backaction now may be something like that which ■tntok the obstructionists thirty years ago. The democrats trumped the trick. There ia no donbt about that.

The gentleman further says that teaching German enables English children to understand their own language better. When it comes to comprehending tho English language, we trust Mr. Vonnegut does not mean to thus take his own measure as a public educator by advocating German to that end. There is a widespread superstition that the Latin is the language which ia to be studied tor a better understanding of English. This is a nation in which every member should enjoy the facilities of higher education, says Mr. Vonnegut, and yet almost the whole of the remainder of his plea for the teaching of German is that it is a consolation fbr Germans—so that they can meet people who can talk their language and so that their own children can talk it at home. How Mr. Vonnegut can reconcile a definition of “higher education” with the consolations which enable a parent to effectively pet or scold his children in his own vernacular or to exchange the time o’ day in the same tongue, is one of those mystical emanations of the German mind which we toil to fathom. Richard ’ Grant White says: “A German protessor of Esthetik is not happy until he has discovered a trilogy and an inner life. These found, he goes off with ponderous serenity into the Ewigkeit.” Mr. Vonnegut seems to have boggled into something of this kind, so to speak, when he finds that the way to lessen taxation on the middle class is to pay $9,000 a year in this city for teaching German. It is the "middle class,” so called, that bear the bulk of these taxes. It L notorious that it is the rich who can and do conceal evidences of their, wealth; and it is to save this imposition on the man who may own his little home, and hardly more than that, tbat The News protesta against this wasteful expenditure. It is the children of such a man who need common school education. Neither hs nor tfcey can afford the time for the acquisition of a smattering of an abstruse language like the German, and yet he is to be taxed ior the benefit of the few, who, according to Mr. Vonnegut, want the consolation of being welcomed to this country by some | body in German, or who want to talk at home with their children in the same language. This country, when it welcomes the oppressed of other nations, as Mr. Vonnegut says, doesn’t welcome them to oonse and impose their language and customs upon it at the conatry’s expense. It welcome* them to become American citizens with all tbat the name Implies. "An invitation to ride is not leave to drive.” The law which compels the squandering ot onr school fnad in teaching German, at the application of the parents of twenty-five pupils, U an outrage— doubly so in the feoe of the fact that it is costing u* here now $9,000 a year, while we are suffering for funds with which to impart common school education. The law ou|ht to be repealed at once. It is using the public benefit for the prejudices of a few who, while they profess to love the German language so much, went tee trouble of imparting it to their children token off their hands at the public ex pense. — - ~ * Aa to tha narrow-minded aristocratie tendency whiotriuppresses the means of enjoyment which Mr. Vonnegut allndes to, we invite him to consider the fact that this country is not tor the purpose of enabling eay class or clique to enjoy itself at tbe public expense, and if It be narrow-minded aad aristocratic to protest against a division of tho public fluids fbr the acquisition of the “accomplishment" of learning German when there is not enough to teach the rudiment* of a common school education, and thus deprive the average tax-payer of a just return for hia taxes, thaw The Nears is to be counted upon that side.

Within the last fonr years the institntion has been much enlarged by means furnished by a National executive committee ot Friends, for the introduction of Indian pupils from western reservations. Its benefits were designed to be shared by colored ns well as white and Indian children. I s work, however, previous to its enlargement, was mostly with poor white children, to whom it has given home, education and support. Since the reception in March, 1883, of 27 Indian children, tneir number, with the total enrollment of 104, has been increased to 71, and the number of white children reduced to 8. So it is now principally noted as an Indian training school. Its success in this work and in the development of home and a school of literature and industry in harmonious and mutually helpful relations has been highly gratifying. Industrially, the boys are taught husbandry and the girls housekeeping, in everything that the home and farm suegests to the American mind. In addition the boys are taught such handcraft and mechanical principles as our improvements and repairing require — as carpentering, blacksmitbing,

painting or glazing.

The institution has a capacity for eighty pupils, who may be received at any time, at any age from six to eighteen years, and irom any place in the Union. It has a small endowment fund yielding an uncertain income of about $320 annually, bu. the principal sources of support are tlie farm and a government allowance of $150 per annum for

each Indian child.

The Indian children are procured upon authority from the secretary of the interior. They come voluntarily and with parents’ consent, for a term of three or more years. Their progress, af.cr they learn the English language, is equal to that of other races, except iu studies requiring close reasoning. They perhaps excel in memory and imitation. They become industrious and wiliiug workers in ail manual labor. After they return home they generally make use of their knowledge by teaching, and in nearly every case make useful men

and women.

In many cases they return east and enter colleges to prepare * for the ministry. The institution is under tbe control ot a board of trustees (six in number) appointed by tbe Indiana yearly meeting ot the orthodox society of Friends. The present board of trustees are: President, Nathan Coggesbnll, Marion, Ind.; secretary. Samuel B. Hill, Charlottesville, Ind.; treasurer, Mahlon Harvey, Fairmount; Samuel J. Richie, New Paris, O., and Elias Phelps and Seth Stafford, Greensboro, Ind. The officers in charge at the institute are: General superintendent, O. H. Bales; matron, Mrs. O. H. Bales; superintendent of school, Benjamin S. Coppock; assistant teachers, Misses .Sarah H. Webster and Ida M. Roberts; farmer, Joseph II. Pleas; seamstress, Mrs. J. H. Pleas; bookkeeper, W. A.

The event of the year was th**>exarcises following the completion ot the three years’ course at the institute. Fourteen Sioux children, ten boys and lour girls, ranging from twelve to twenty-one years of age, participated. The program consisted of orations, declamations, d alogues, and vocal and instrumental music. The parts were all well taken, and many even excelled their “pale-faced" brothers and sisters in acquitting themselves, so thorough has been the work of the instructors. The pupils demonstrated that they were apt at learning, and the most of them gave evidence ol possesing those qualities that are so essential to brave the discouragements that must be encountered on their return home. The progress made by them in three years conclusively proves the fitlsity of the statement that “an Indian is good only when dead.” The graduates will return to their homes in Nebraska, Dakota aud the Indian Territory next Monday, accompanied by Superintendent Coppock, who will endeavor to get the consent of the government to HU the vacancies—caused by the graduation—with new recruits.

five cents to the fund ot the society; turther, teat the defendant (Frank Gisier) simply acted as the agent of the soc iety in disbursing beer and collecting the donations therefor, and that he had no other interest therein. Still further, that tbe collections are tor the benefit ot the toud of the society; that the organization is not a dealer in liquors, wholesale or retail. it was also claimed that the society is a German one, organized for tbe promotion of manic, vocal and instrnmentel, and that it does not sell, nor offer to sell liquors of any kind, nor permit its agents to solicit custom, but wbetiever its members desire a drink at any of its meetings this is the plan it adopts for paying .for the same. It was also claimed that the liquors were purchased by the society in bulk, and tbe defendant disclaimed any purpose to violate the law in parcelling ont the same and making tbe collections. The state indorsed the above as true, the defendant conceding that he sold the liquor at the time and place; but both the state aud the defense omitted to include what may be regarded ns a very essential part ofthe pleadings. (1) That,while the active and passive ihembership of the society is about one hundred, the testimony shows several hundred persons to have been present. (2) The invited gnests had the same privilege as theactlreand passive members in tbe purchase oi liquors; and, lastly, the same profit is realized from the sale as follows the ordinary saloon traffic. The testimony ot the officers brought out these points, and they were not specially gainsaid by the defense. The defense claims that the present police commissioner (Elam), ia the case of the Meridian club, dscided the very same points, and that the action can not lie. and unusual interest centers on the mayor’* ruling, for the reason of the kindred societies in the city now operating on a similar basis. It is understood that the Liquor league is pressing the question, which fact looks plausible, for the reason that their attorney* are defending the society, and there is a beliet that if a favorable decision is reached, similar societies will soon spring up in every direction, and by the fact of their existence render nugatory the effort of the police commissioners toward an indiscriminate enforcement of tbs

liquor law.

Beat Them All. • [Texas sifting*.] The conversation turned upon aged people. “My grandfather,” said Coverot, “died at the age of ninety-four.’* “My grandmother was one hundred and three when she died,” remarked Tupin. “And in my family,” put in Guiballard, not to be outdone in boasting, “are several who ain’t dead yet!” Then Churches Wilt Be Full. [New Albany Ledger.] In the Fourth Presbyterian church at Indianapolis last Sunday night, a “Mr. Matheny, who sang a solo, was encored.” Shades of Calvin! has it come to this? The next thing we know tbe ballet may be introduced. .USEFUL AND HURTFUL MEDICINES, There i» a certain class of remedies for conatl pation absolutely useless. These are boluses and potions made in great part of podophyllin, aloes, rhubarb, gamboge, and other worthless ingredients. The damage they do to the stomachs of those who me them is incalculable. They evacuate the bowels, It Is (rue, but always do so violently and profusely, and besides, gripe the bowels. Their effect is to weaken both them and tbe stomach. Better far to uw* the agreeable and salutary aperient, Hostetler s Stomach Bitters, tlie laxative effect of which Is never preceded by pain, or accompanied by a convulsive, violent action of tho bowels. On the contrary, It invigorates those organs, the stomach and the entire system. A* a means of curing and preventing malarial fevers.
