The recent matrimonial thrift of this alaaa of icrranU baa probably mala patroua anapicioaa.

After a dlaeuuion of the tnbjeet covering a month, the Mothodiat Miniatera of Baltimore have decided to let the inaugural ball go by without thoir diaapprova).

The Saeramanto Union thinka that the beat and oaly way to aaeure honest elaotiona latoeheoee offioera “whose character and iadepoBdeaoe are ample guaranty that they are aet under any political thumb, and aro above the notions that actuate those who make fraudulent returns.” That is all trna and juat and practicable.

The mealing of tho Indiana Civil Service Association yesterday showed that body to ba ia a state of vigorons hoalth, and like valuable work la the future may ba expected, anoh as was dona in tbo past. It emphaaiud again tba barrible management and Infamy of our Intana Hospital; and tho vital need of ihnage for tho whole State benevolent tyatam. Will tbla Legislature do nothing? Will it Still confine the helpless wards of the State to tho political bummers and blackguards who hava disgraced civilisation in their mistreatment of them? * if it will aot lot go ono iota of party officeholding in tho matter, at least) will II not put decent men in charge? men of lonaoience and heart who will not make narket of the helpless wards whom they metro). Jcdob Santa’s address at the State Uaivereitv, the other day, speaks of a paint la the early legislation ot the State which The News has aoticed sometimes. £n» Judge reiers to an act of the Logiela ure, accepting tho Congressional land grant for aohool purposes, which was pawed oaly by the casting vota of tho President of the Senate. It provided for a series of schools ia gradation from the district aohool to tbo State University. This provision was embodied in the old Constitution, but struck out by the now ono of '50, which substituted n "system of common schools” open and free to nil. Thie change was sbvioualy meant to out put the collegiate part of the system, aad it ia very doubtful if all tbo High Schools aad Normal Sobooia ba not lafraatioaa of this Consti-

tutional purpose.

The railroad ia reaching out everywhere. Wa called attention the other day to the owing interest iu railway transportation South America, and bat recently lo tho tomplotion of China's first road. Tba first railway to ha bail! in tbo Philippine Archipelago baa jnat been opened, connectMg Manila with lialabou, a town of 3,000 Mhabitants, oa tho oonthweat shore of Ua•Ua Bay.

peace, captured these mporter vessels jnat ae regularly as they same within gunshot. The famous fighting “Temeraire,” the subject of one of Turner's beet pictures. Was a French war ship "appropriated” by the English. Thera may ba a little poaselattea ia thin fact for those who see tho superiority of the German ship* at Samoa, aad believe a collision probable. We grow to faith af anbroken peace. We doubt wkother anything will come from Samoa worse than exaggerated reports, which both Governments will wait and verify or anility before action of any kind. The Gormans claim now that it was tbo property of thoir own people that waa damaged in the recent attack, and that they did not assail American property at nil. Tho contradictions are so plenty and peremptory that by tbo time they are all oxplained and reconciled, there will probably ba little to quarrel about but tho bullbeaded discourtesy of the German Admiral, and that is easily disowned or apologised for. ____________________ The Democratic caucus elected Mr. Jacob P. Daan State librarian last night—tba same old eaucue. Thus it aeoms that tho "particularly creditable thing” which the Democratic organ said Tba Nsws opposed whenever the party proposed it, to-wit: Make an ending of the political seoffls for this plsee, by putting tbs library ia charge of a fit add non-partisan Board, it did not do. > It slumped; that is if 'it over had any intention of doing It, wblen well may be doubted. Two years from now, If tho Republicans should carry tho Legislature, we presume Mr. Dunn will bo “bounced,” and tho game of political battledore go on with tho library as tho shuttle cook, unless they hava the virtue to take the library out of politics, as they ought to have. In the present I situation, however, there le this much improvement: Mr. Dunn ia the fittest person that has been oboeea for tho place in many year*, and wo trust that the choice moans a fitting appropriation for tho purchase of books and tho beginning of the building up of tbo library. In that avent tho Legielatnre should select or empower the Governor to select aa Advisory Board, to aorvo without any pay whatever to aid in dirooting tho wise course. Our City Library is controlled by a Board of five aided by an Advisory Hoard of tho same number. Ten aro not considered too much combined discretion for tlie proper guidance of that library. Senator Barrett's bill prohibiting tbo nse of money in primaries and nominating eouventions is a move in the interest of honest poli’ios, bnt it does not go far enough. In several States there ia a law providiog for the conduct oi primaries and making hat-stuffing and "crooked” engineering so offense, the same aa if the crime were against a regular election. To prohibit the use ol money in these preliminary political movementM is a good step, but if we had a law regulating the primary system in its entirety it would accomplish much more than seems to be anticipated in Senator Barrett’s measure. To gel responsible men to stand as j candidates is as important as to choose good men at the polla. The manipulation of primaries has been so long and so disgracefully accomplished that in many cases the choice of a party’s candidates is left entirely to the wire-pallers and ward-workers. A respectable partisan finds that ba Is not wanted at tba altogether informal primary, and sees that his wishes are not respected when he attends. The only thing left is for him to grin and support the choice of his party, often enough with poor grace. We should like to see the primary regulated by a law; one that will prohibit the use of money and make possible an honest expression of choice by a party. This is a good place to work, and it U the first step to be guarded. Such a regulation would bring oat better men in all parties for candidates, and would exert a stimulating influence in the progressive steps of the canvass and the election. The inclueiou of New Mexico in the Springer “Omnibus bill” is a bit of partisan impudence that needs rebuke as well as defeat. New Mexico may bave population enough for a State, but a- largo part of its population ia no more fit for the duties or privileges of citizens of the) United Statee, than they are for service in the municipal government of the New Jerusalem. They are far less fit than were the "plantation bands” of the slave States when they were made citizens. The slaves had at least the advantage of cuoaaional association with their masters and their masters’ friends, who knew all about the Government and the duties of citizens, and were more than well inclined to talk about them, for they talked of little else than politico. In this indiscreet way a good many slaves learned more of polities! rights and action than the average native of New Mexico. Bnt the slaves of the rebel States would nevar have been made eitizena in a lump, if tba process bad been toft to a period of peace and opportunity to discriminate, Tbey were set free as a war measure, and being free, they were likely to be better members of n community that could not separata itself from them as eitisens, than aa, practically, aliena. The New Mexicans have no quality of intellect or character to make them desirable or even tolerable oltixens. They are ignorant, superstitious and vicious, and it will take the training of n whole generation to make them fit for the pines the Springer bill weald pat them into. The inclusion of tasir territory in th« admission of ooveriag Dakota, Washington and Montana, ia really a partisan dodge to prevent the admission ot any of them. The Democracy don’t want Dakota as two Republican States, and to hoip its chnncoa of excluding them, it stiXM with thorn so nauseous a pill as New Mexico. It Is an emlaently partisan trick, hat so ebvioae that we may hope, with the “proverb,’* "to vain U the net spread in the sight of any bird.”

The Samwaa Affair. Has it been observed that since thie Sameen trouble not n word hue been heard from Berlin? Thera site the wiliest aad meet relentless master of diplomacy in the world. He is letting ns "de the walking,” for it may be observed also that England, whose iatereete am supposed to bo jeopardised aa much aa oars, it not la a great stew. The outcome of this little affair te exceedingly difficult to predict. It may Ulnetrnte the eerlptnral axiom, “behold hew great a matter a little fire kiodleth.” On the other head, it may am east to nothing. One thing sonmo olanr: onr government, and by that is meant the exeentive and legislative do-

they have ever needed greater perhaps than at any time since onr dealings with Great Britain daring the war. Wa are dealing with the most astute diplomats in the world who baa the added amaraaee of n lung line of aosassees and ia basked by n nation that siaee it whipped Austria and France eurpaeeee to arrogance and aelfe»nfi<i*noe Home in the ancient world and England in the modern. We ere be bee in arms ia this business. Hismarck is a past-master. Wa can not ao easily afford to “get left” as he can. Then there is England. What sort of a make-weight le abe in the matter? England and Germany have formed a thieving partnership for operation in Afriea; Germany at Zanzibar and England with ber "East African Company” to follow tba footsteps of the "East India Company.” How ter does this partnership afleet tboae Pacific Islands? Already it has been said that Ongland - is playing stool • pigeon in this Samoan affair to secure tbe-e Islands to Germany, her reward to be poeaeesion of the Tonga Islands, and eventually Hawaii. It ia deep swimming, and as we said, it seems to ns that we have need of wise, and especially more conservative action in this matter. To this end it is eneonraging to see Senator Frye eeasing to "make faces” at Secretary Bayard and to abuse the administration, and address himself to Congress. That Is business. Congress is the supreme arbiter in such matters. It alone oan declare war. How wise his action is in aecaring appropriations for establishing n coaling station at Samoa and appropriating money for the President to protect the rights of Americaos there, ia a matter to be considered carefully. He also wants the status restored as at the time of the treaty, compelling the Germans to replace King Mataafa and repair damages, and be would send a sufficient number of men-of-war ami troops to see it done. He would have to. For he doubtless understands that his proposition means war with Garmany, with ail that that implies. The remainder oi? the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee is not so radical as Mr. Frye, and this is well, at least at this stage of the proceedings. For if we consider Germany’s past coarse in Samos it baa been exactly that of the land robber the world over. Germany doubtless means to possesa those islands completely it she can. It la for us to take an account of stock right at the start. We mast remember that we are dealing with Germany, and possibly behind the bushes England, and we can afford to taka, no step that we will not stand to, though it means war to the knife and the knife to the hilt. Wc must make up our minds completely ns to whut wa will that our interests in Somoa shall be and these we should maintain to the last "ay in the morning. We can not afford to "back down” irom any position we take. Thus it seems to ns that we are called upon to act in a vary grave crisis. Tlie suggestion •>( a Dream. [St. Louis (Jlobe-Democrat.! Speaking ot dreams, I will tell you of another one, ot a ludicrous nature, not many weeks ago. I dreamed that I was a boy again r and was engaged in the rather common juvenile diversion in the country ot robbing a larmer’a watermelon patcli. Just as I was in the aot ot making off with one of the finest melons in the patch I saw the farmer approaching with dog and gnn. In vain did I tug at the melon, hoping to get over the fence ahead of the advancing dog. Tha barking ot the brute awoke me, and I found myself pulling with all tbe energy at my command at the bead ot my fifteen-months-old baby, which I had miataken for a watermelon, end whose cry had filled my dull ears with sounds like the barking of a dog. Tha poor child bad been dreadfully abased, aud I resolved never again lo aleep in bed with a baby. flow to Forget Sorrow. . [British and Colonial Druggist] * A druggist recently received a visit from n lantern-jawed, hollow-eyed mao, who asked, in cadaverous tones, if he could give him any remady that would drive away a nightmarelike esre that waa preying upon hia health. The man of drugs nodded and compounded a mixture of quinine, wormwood, rhubarb and epsom salts, with a dash of castor oil, and offered it to the despairing patient, who apathetically gulped it down.

[New Albany Ledger.] The publio schools of Louisville have dieeoutinned the study of German. Tbit is a step in the right direction.

A recent English investigation shows that with men over twenty-five years of age the intemperate use of alcoholic beverages cuts off ten years Irom life. Also that occasional indulgence, if carried to excess, doubles diseases of the liver, quadruples diseases of the kidneys, and greatly increases deaths from pneumonia, pleurisy and epilepsy. A New Haven physician ot the clairvoyant school—not a woman—last year returned numerous death certificates, and among the causes ot death, as jotted down by him, were tha following; "Malaral fever,” "consumpeion,” "aeneumia” (anemia) “disese of cidnes” (disease of kidneys), "exbustion,” "brane fever,’’ “old bage” (old age). “What’s the good of eye teeth?” asked the new bad boy at tbe foot of the class, "you can’t sea with them?” “Well,” aaid tbe teacher, who bad been a new bad boy herself, "what's the use of sharp ayes?

Zachariah Crouch, the oldest Quaker of Quckertowo, Conn., has just died at tbe ago of aeventy-nina. Mr. Crouch belonged to the Rogerene branch ot tbe sect, the teachings of whose creed were rather singular for peaoe-loving religionists. One peculiar form which their teachings took was to work conspicuously on the Sabbath day and to snter the churches and disturb tbe services of other denominations. This was not done in a spirit of defiance, but in the fulfillment of what they regarded as duty. When T. E.

Well, there’s enough legal flummery over there in that to start a country—convention, constitution, Congress ’n all. While they were whereasing I went to Europe. I had an exhibition in Berlin, placed it there, Cologne, Mannheim, half a dozen more. Went to Sweden, sold 5,000 dozen in Paris, sent a man to Rome to build a fire and put it out in tbe Eternal City, and tben 1 got back to Loudon just as those Englishmen got their first papers

ready.

"Hut I did not go to see them. No, sir! I was all right. I was making money eelling grenades right in their market. They came to eee me, most generally by appointment, just about when I was opening my mail. Hhowed’em a balance sheet. They wanted tbe books examined by au ‘expert.’ He came. I turned over the whole office—mirrors, electric light and all. I bad nothing to conceal He ma<ie his balance-sheet. Would you believe it? hia balance-sheet showed just £100 more profit than minedid! You see, thare’d been a mistake made somewhere, somehow. Well, tbey bought. ‘Now,’ said I, ‘I want the cash deposited In such a bang at noon, Friday.’ I was there nt just 12:30, drew it out and put it in my bank. Tbe thing was over. Then I thought I ought to see something of Eogland. That afternoon I went toHhe National Gallery and Westminister Aobey. The next morning I did the British Museum, took the ‘Wild Irishmen,’ and Sunday, at Queeuatown, I caught

my steamer home.”

A Memory That Solace* Grief.

[Chicago Mail.]

Indianapolis will probably be compelled to worry along this summer without a League base ball club. But Indianapolis people tnay console themselves with the reflection that their club arose in ita might at a ticklish stage of the struggle last season and walked upon the eollnra ot Chicago’s boasted ball players for three straight games, and that was tbe start which sent Anson scooting down tha toboggan slide of defeat. They will find some solace io this. Progress of the New Education.

Tbe Orbit ef Mars. It ia only about once in fifteen years that Mars comes as nesr as 36,000,000 miles. Its orbit is so eccentric that the interval between it apd the orbit of the earth varies all the way from 36,000,000 miles to 61,000,000. The last instance ot a very close approach was ia 1887; the next will be in 1892. Mars is much smaller than the earth, ita bulk being only about one-seventh and its sorfaeo about thraa-tenths of tba aarth’s.

A L*u*some Life. (New Yore San. | Friend (to siek man)—Don’t yon find tho long daya loncaoaae, John, confined as you are to your bed aad easy oaair? Sick Man—Lonesome, friend? That doesn’t sxpreas it. Why, tha gas collector called this afternoon with a six month*’ gas bill, and I paid the bill and pnt my arms around hia nook and called him brother.

If the report which eemee from Zanzibar ia true, says the New Yerk Sun, Mwanga, the yeuag •teapot of Uganda, who to two yenra has earned a reputation for cruelty aad bloodshed not excelled oven by that of tbe depoeed King Thebaw, of Burmah, baa been violently removed from tbe seat of power his ancestors have held for seventeen genera* tione and hia brother nowreignain his pUce. Whether tbi* news boilea good or ill to the four or five whit# missionaries of England and France now in Ugmndn can not yet be told. This young man, only twenty-three yenra old, has had much to do with ahaping some event* in whieb tbe world has been deeplv interested. If he bad not, for tbe first time a ace Speke discovered the greateet of African lakes, dosed tbe route north from Victoria Nyaaza to Lake Albert against all white men, Emin Pasba would never have lacked ammunition and there would bave been no Stanley relief expedition. It was the harrowing story of Mwanga’t great slave raids, in which he haa employed thousands nt hia soldiers for the purpose of supplying hi* Arab frieods with all the poor bondsmen tbev desired, that gave an impetus to the anti-slavery agitation which has produced the blockade of the East African coast and is tbe talk of every capital in Europe. , Mwauga has been described by ths whits men af his conrt as a weak, frivoloos, cowardly boy, easily led by his favorites, extremely passionate, and capable, under the influence of fearer anger, of almost unheardot cruelty. He signalized hia accession to power by the atrocious murder of Bishop Hannineton, and it was bis hope to destroy in a week all the converts the missionaries had made in six snccessful yean of labor. Tbe heroism and fortitnde with which scores of native Christians, many of them mere children, met death at the stake ia hardly surpassed- iu the annals of martyrdom. Not one of them recanted, even when told that their lives would be spared if they abjured the Christian faith. "Can yon read?” was the question tbe King usually asked the converts when they were brought before him. "Yes,” replied all who had b’en taught in the native schools. "1’Jihaveno readers In Uganda,” tbe King would shout as be hurried them off to be chained to trees and burned. In a single dav seventy men thus met their late and the head executioner told tbe King he bad never seen men die so bravely. The bloodthirsty King msrely laughed and remarked that God did not •eem able to_rescue the Christiana from hia power. Just as inexplicable as this butchery of hundreds of his subjects was King Mwaoga’a sudden change of policy this year. Ihe news came from Uganda in June last that Mwacga had received Mieeionary Walker with honors never given before to any white visitor at hia capital. The churches had been re-opened, schools were prospering, and several hundred native Christians attended the services on Sundays. The King’schange of front could not be explained save by the remark the Katikiro or Prime Minieter made to one of the miesiooarie*. "Mwanga,” he taid, “does not know his own mind and no one oan tell what he will do.” It is to be hoped that we will hear of no new reign of terror in Uganda. Hut many people will be deeply anxious until it ia known how ths white residents and their work have been affected by the only revolution in Uganda that has occurred since Speke discovered that beautiful and populous country. ^ SnoWy white linen, always admired by housewives, can be secured by using American BallBlue.
