A VIG0S0DS ARRAIGNMENT. Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier Journal, deplores the want of leadership both in the Republican and Democratic parties, particularly the latter because it is with that party that he is identified and therefore more intereeted. He save we seem to be passing through an epooh of little men and little things. Of originality, even of vigorous and sincere oonvictions, we have hardly a glimpse anywhere. It he puts Mr. Olarkson forward as a representative Republican this is true. But he must remember that Republicans generally decline to accept the leadership of small men like Olarkson. Republicans of "vigorous and sincere convictions" recognize the fact that so long as such men push themselves forward as leaders just so long they may expect to suffer defeat. However, Mr. W aterson's most vi gorousjexpressions are uttered with reference to the Democratic party. Speaking of the Cleveland administration and its studied efforts how not to do,anything, he says:

Tlius on t*ie other hand, we have tweedleum playing hide and seek wllh twaodledee, the argument of the piece being that the set of donkeys who have displaced the set of rogues shall as nearly as possible copy their predecessors in office, leaving the people, who made the change, and who made it after, abundant deliberation, and for a specific purpose, still to hold the bag and to pay the plier, as they have been doing for a quarter of a century.

Mr. Watterson, however, is not without hope that the Administration will be all right when Congress meets, as Mr. Cleveland is sound on pensions and Mr. Carlisle has started out right on finances, but says Mr. Watterson—

Among the Democratic Senators and Resentatives, scattered tetween Dan and Beer sneba, he who travels a mile an hour Is apt to find the way barren of everything except cross-purposes and shallow nothings, varied here and there by the coward's plea that we must be exceedingly careful lest we tread on somebody's toes. A fig for such nonsense, and a buck board for such cheats!

Mr. WAtterson clearly Bees that the attempt to pnrsue a course of prudent and conservative policy means "good by to the Democratic party." He wants to smash thingB generally. Peanut politicians must be relegated to the rear. Tiio engine must be reversed. Free-trade must be substituted for protection. Pension laws must be wiped from the statute books. Mr. Watterson then closes

thiB

readable and most vigorous demand for a Moses with the following: In the meanwhile, Mr. Cleveland may make a spoon, or spoil a horn, but he and his assoel. ates will make themselves solid and safe against contumely and disgrace only In the courage of their opinions and a bold vindication of the Chicago platform. They can gals nothing by yielding to the time-servers and time serving demands. They will lose us, and themselves, everything if they listen to the siren voice of beaten monopoly, which now stoops to conquer. They must stand and fight. There must be war, not peace, until every protective duty Is stricken out of the tariff and every robber coffee-cooler stricken off the pension rolls. Let the galled jade of Republicanism wince, our withers are unwrung.

All of which only serves to show that the Democratic party is at "cross pur poses" on everything in the way of statesmanlike policies and can agree on nothing except the spoils of office. What do the fellows who are fighting for the postoffices care for the Chicago platform Not one in ten thousand of the applicants could restate a single principle enunciated in that wonderful production.

GBAY haired men with years of exper ience in the affairs of life are after all but children, as has been said, of a larger growth. A Grand Army Post at LaFByette, composed of men nil on the shady side of life, is in a Btate bordering on disruption over the question whether civic societies other than the Grand Army shall participate iu the ceremonies of Memorial Day. It was voted to withdraw all the invitations that had been extended to other bodies, whereupon the free for-all members applied for withdrawal cards from the Post. The entire action from beginning to end was a piece of child's play, but this episode only serves to emphasize the fact that men everywhere in all the walks and relations of life, from the statesmen to the grave-digger, are but children in knowledge and wisdom and level headedness. This is exemplified in the affairs of State, in religious conferences^assemblies and conventions, in world's fair matters, in city councils, in social clubs, in business, and every where in all collective bodies of men—and women, too, for that matter. "Except ye become as little children ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven." That being the case we are all sure of a safe landing in the harbor where none can err.

OVER THE STATE

Telegrams from Various Oitiea and Towns in Indiana. Forced to Uear HU Tale of LOT*.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 25.—Miss Lida Holliday, a clerk in the Ivow York store, had on exciting and dramatic experience with a crazy lover Wednesday morning1. Six months ago Everett Thorpe began to pay her attion, but she soon found that he was not congenial and dismissed him. Since then he has been haunting her path and frequently stopping her on the street, forcing her to listen to his tale of love. Wednesday morning she sought to avoid him by talcing a back street to the car line, but Thorpe saw her and caught her by the dress. She struggled to get away, but he drew a revolver and swore that he would kill her if she did not listen to him. A crowd gathered around but he kept them at bay by threatening to shoot the girl if they advanced, all the while muttering vows of love and begging her not to receive the attentions of others. The police were notified and hurried to the scene,but before they reached the place an uncle of Miss Holliday arrived and induced Thorpe to let her return home. He accompanied her, however, and sat on the steps with the revolver in his hand till the police arrived, when he dodged down an alley and escaped. A warrant was sworn out later in the day and he will be arrested.

Issued Fraudulent Policies. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 25.—The general agents of the- Pacific Mutual Life Insurance company of Chicago have complained to the state insurance department of a man who claims to represent the company in Indiana.

He is charged with operating about Liberty, where he issued alleged policies in the company and collected the money. The Chicago agents say he is a fraud. Insurance Agent Duke is on the lookout for the fellow, who seems to have gone to new fields.

The Bidden Hoard.

There i&not a word thou hast ever said. There is not a glance of thine, There Is not a tear thou has chanced to shed,

That have not by stealth made mine And hoarded away for the wintry day When tfcy love shall havo ceased to shine! Now that I bask in thy smilos galore,

And spng is thy least breath find, I never need gate on that furtive store Deep down in my heart enshrined, But summer's delight will one day take flight,

And.then, for the bleak, bleak wind!

In the season of sorrow and waste and wreck. When all shall seem doomed to wane, That long oherished hoard shall my heart not lock,

Though naught beside it remain. Bat with glamour lit eyee, poring over each prize,

I shall dream that thou lov*st again! —-William Toynbee.

SIR:—It is with the greatest of pleasure that I testify to your most miraculous oure of my wife, who had been given up as beyond all relief by the physicians of Crawfordsville and all others who were called in, until great good fortune brought you t-o our neighborhood.

My poor wife had suffered with a complication of diseases, ohronic rheumatism, contracted muscles until her limbs were drawn oat of all shape, enlargement of the joints, stomach trouble and irregular beating of the heart.

For five months she had been helpless and yet three days after your first visit to her she rallied. Within week she was eating solid food and in less than three weeks your wonderful medicine and thorough diagnosis other case gave her hope that she would be snatched from the very brink of the grave and am sure because a well woman.

To-day, two months since, you began to visit her. She is up and doing her own honse work for the first time in years, and our gratitude to you can never be expressed in words.

I am well known in this county, and business men of Orawfordeville will vouoh for what I say of your wonderful cure of my wife, for her sufferings and the hopelessness of her case was known far and wide. With full appreciation of all yon have done, I remain with respect, O. M. WILKINSON.
