A PLAIN MAN USES SOME PLAIN LANGUAGE.

Touching Lightly on Some Celebrated Persons and Things of Eoosier Athens.

I tun only a plain man, who lives in a plain n-ay. I do plain work and try to use plain language, or at least nevor to gloss ever an evil for tho sake of policy. It is not often that I take a holiday but I did the fore part of tho week when an old friend from the west passed through the city. I made it a point to impress upon his mind that he was treading the streets of a town where evon the servant girls wear blue stookings. I showed him all the wonders of the place—the oollege, with its native forest trees and elegant chapel, tho residence of Ben Hur and the "Knoll Cottage," over whioh an intellectual halo hangs as visible to tutored eyes as the pillar of clond in the olden time. 1 showed him the Y. M. C. A. building, the modern churches, the alley back of TIM Joubnaii office, Morton Keegan's picture in Nicholson's show window and other things and places of renown. At last as the time drew near for him to depart and we stood on the marble Hoofs of the Monon depot inoluding the rich aroma of whisky and tobaooo I ventured to inquire what thing of all he saw while here whioh struokjiim most forcibly. Dropping his contemplative quid into one of the polished brass cuspidors he thus remarked: "Well, the thing, I most remarked, was your large and highly assorted oollcction of stall fed loaiers." The train came and my friend went, but what he said remained with me. Like Cassius, I chewed upon it, and the more J. ohewed the stronger grew my oonviotion that Crawfordsville with all libr culture and refinement maintains a disgracefully large loafer element. They are not all common soap box loafers, but they are loafers for all that, They are of various rank and file. Some are well educated and set up as the bloods of the town. They are, it is sad to say, received into good society, they talk politics, take a hand at poker occasionally, walk swiftly down Main street every few hours as though on business, talk loudly of offered openings in that Mecca of all worthless parasites—the West, and always roll around "home" at meal time to sponge from father, mother or peradventure industrious sister. Then, there is the middle class composed of faded flowerets c#the ancient and honorable order of loafer dudes and a number of mechanics, who haven't done an honest day's work for years, together with a variegated herd, who manage in some unknown way to maintain bastard air of respectability. Finally comes the real low down loafer who ekes out his miserable existence in the saloons and low dives of the oity, the butt of the coarse jokes of tho coarser frequenters of theso places, a ourse to the world and a burden to himself.

Thus they sustain a certain parasitical social system, with its regular grades of social caste, its aristocracy and its scum, tho individuals of which pass slowly down from high to low, while waiting patiently for an indefinite intangible something, to "turn up." All would Bcorn the name of "loafer," many would tight were tho epithet applied to them and really feel themselves abused, a pertinent question arises at this point, "Does this state of affairs exist in consequence of a lack of employment to be found here?" To such a question there can be but one answer, and that a positive "No." It is not employment whioh they cannot find, for they never seek it, but from some cause or other each one of the social vampires feels himself to be peculiarly out out for some employment, above that which feeds and renders manly those whom he associated in his ill-spent youth. What he wants a sinecure, a "soft snap" if you please, where is no soiling of hands, no mental activity, no confinement required, only an inhaling of the air whioh a gracious providence meant for better men. Some few indeed would not object in addition to tho arduous duty of breathing to "boss" a few subordinates, bnt to be "bossed" themel is A

It seems that the loafer is the outgrown of our liberal institutions and is to stay. We can no longer say as did Capt. John Smilh to the original F. F. V.'s "Those who do not work oannot eat," but we can do something. We can refuse to associate with him or let him associate with us ,-we can frowm upon him when he enters our place of business and takes the chair by the stove wo can make him feel that he has and merits our oontempt. We may not free ourselves, but we can discourage and scorn in many ways this character, so that the rising generation may soe and avoid becoming to our culturod oity what Charles Lamb's poor relation was to him—" a skeleton in tho closet, a fly in the ointment,a Mordeoai at the gate."
