SATU KDAY. FEB. 25,1883.

IT is calculated that the Sayer election bill, just passed by the Alabama Legislature, will disfranchise 50,000 uneducated black voters.

THOMAS JEFFERSOK rode to his inaugural on horseback. This is a species of Democratic "simplicity" Grover will necessarily be compelled to omit.

FIVE old veterans of the Union army weie buried at one time last Wednesday in Chicago. The pension question will soon be solved.

THE McHugh law extending the terms of municipal officers is to be tested in the oourt. The suit will probably originate at Rctmond.

IN view of recent proceedings, isn't it about time that the Kansas Populists renounced their high sounding appellation and beoome known merely as plain, every day anarchists?

SEXATOB YOORHEES declares thfct President Harrison's foreign policy would challenge the admiration of the world, but Voorhees and his party opposed nearly the whole of this policy neverthe-

IT is noticeable that many of the moa1 blatant opponents to Hawaiian aunexa tion hail from west of the Mississippi. Where would these men have been to day had their prejudices prevailed in the case of the Louisiaua and Mexican acquisitions?

THE Populist dread that somebody will assassinate Gov. Lewelling is com posed of equal parts of idiocy and poltroonery. The Republicans are especially inteiwted in keeping Lewelling alive. As a horrible example he is of great value lo them.

TnE Indianapolis News says that M. E. Kelly, now employed at the Centra) Hospital for the Insane, is an applicant for Consul at either Londondery or Belfast, and that Con Cunningham, of Crawfordsvillo, is after the same place,

IT is announced that the turnout which will convey Mr. Cleveland to the coming inaugural ceremonies will be the finest that Washington ever saw. The President-elect should repeat the homily on private Bnd public frugality which he delivered in St. Louis with Bnch unction last fall.

TffH. apponionment4 bill which has been introduced and which will prob ably pass makes Montgomery and Putnam one Senatorial district and gives to Montgomery one Representative and a Joint Representative with Clinton. Upon the whole the bill is as bid a ger: rymander as the present law and will give to the Democracy about two-thirds of the members in each House.

world can well forgive an error like this. In this emergency Mrs. McKinly, the worthy wife of such a husband, has offered her own fortune to redeem the obligations which her hnsband has incurred. Both are left penniless, noble examples of American integrity under circumstances that put that integrity to the severest test.

THE Senate yesterday passed the House bill for the repeal of that section of the election law which provides for the printing of the ballots in the newspapers. It now goes to the Governor for his approval. This action was done on the score o£ economy, and yet the Senate immediately thereafter paBeed a resolution allowing Miss Emma Salter 8625 for eighteen days' services as stenographer to the committee which investigated the Southern Prison, and SUB each to two experts for twelve days' work on the books of the prison, or about §40 a day. Some men have qneer ideas of economy.

The Democratic legislature of Indiana his given the people no little amusement. But the most interesting things now are the opinions of the Democratic press in regards to its work and progress. The Port Wayne Sentinel, among other things, has the following to say: "The present legislature is not a progressive body and seems to be inclined to be afraid of its own shadow. When great public needs are demanded it

Overton, of Drake University, ft*4 Four Other* Arrested at Des Mnlaet for Grave Robbery,

DBB MOINKS, la., Feb. 24.—A party of grave robbers were arrested between 2 and 8 a. m. Thursday as they were coming out of the Center street entrance to Woodlawn cemetery. The party consisted of Dr. J. W. Overton, dean of Drake university, medical department John W. Shafer, of the United States signal office in this city John O. Sloan, son of Liveryman Sloan, and J. W. Martin and W. E. Burris, laborers. They had the corpse of an unknown man in a hack.

Overton, Shal'er and Sloan gave bonds and the others were released. The body was identified as that of William Case, a county charge, who died last week. The college authorities deny that they have ever taken any but paupers' bodies. The affair has caused a great sensation, as Overton stands high in medical and social circles.
