"Is essentials unity, in non-essentials charity, and in all things liberty," is a matter that should have found a place in large golden letters in the General Assembly room at Washington.
WHEAT touohed the lowest notch that it has reached in thirty years last Thursday in Chicago. What has become of the $1 article that the Democrats promised if Cleveland should be elected ?.
EIGUT members of the faculty of the State University will sever their connection with the institution at the close of the present year. The only reason given for the members leaving is the question of salary. When an institution like the State University is dependent on the liberality of fool legislators it cannot expect to retain its trained teachers for any length of time.
"BUST men of this sort," observes the Philadelphia Times in an editorial article on the causes leading to ex-Secretary Foster's financial embarrassment, "are of much more vilue to the community, even when they fail, than the prosperous fellows who venture nothing and accomplish nothing." There is much in these few lines that are applicable to other communities than Fostoria.
COLUMBUS, this State, has a man, John S. Crump by name, who has built a fine opera house, a large and modern hotel, a safety deposit vault, and an electric street railway. To show their appreciation of this public spirited citizen, the people held a public meeting the other day and presented him with a gold modal souvenir. This is more comniendahle than to stand round on the Btreet corners and curse capital.
TIIF. JorusAL to-day gives space for the essential poition of Dr. Cunningham's oermon delivered last Sunday at Center Presbyterian chuich, which will be rend with more than passing intereet as it relates to the recent trial by the Geuoral Assembly at Washington of Prof. Charles A. Briggs on charges ot huarsy. Dr. Cunningham is a representative Presbyterian and as will be seen dissents most vigorously from the action of the ecclesiastical court.
Tuts is a billion-dollar country. The official statement of the appropriations made by the recent Congres shows a total of 81,027,104,5-47. Its Republican predecessor, the 51st Congress, called falsely the "billion-dollar Congress" by the Democrats, appropriated a little over 918 millions. The Democrats, therefore, spent some 8109,000,000 more than the Bi'pubhcau body, although early in its first session it passed Holman's resolution denouncing the "extravagance'' of the 51s Congress, and pledging the Democrats to tho strictest "economy." Probably the outcome is the Democratic idea ot economy.
IT IS not often that N man gets what he voted for as quickly as did the one mentioned in the following from the Indianapolis Record:
A
Btory is told of an ardent Indian npolis pensioner who went about last f.ill favoring the election of Cleveland because it promised a thinning out of the pension roll. XIis principal objection to the roll as it now stands was because "everyone who dreamed he was in the armv is drawing a pension." At th-j lust quarterly payment he went to the agency to gat what was due him. He was paid and informed that ho had been dropped from tho roll. Then there was wrath with revilingo and threats of vengeance. When reformers can bear self-sacrifice with Spartan fortitude, the easier will be the work of adjusting reform to meet the favor of the people.
ON last Sunday Prof. Swing discoursed on: "Logic and Religion." "There is gradually coming," he End) "a scientific Christianity." The Professor said: 'The future of the Christian religion depends upon the erranoyjof the old scripture. The success of Christianity depends upon the general admission that the Bible was not all written by the fingers of God. Are there any human errors in the Old Testament? To the credit of our religion we may well hope they are numerous. When the writer said that God told him to kill in war anything that breathed, we hope the \triter was mistaken. When men pretended to receive word from God not to suffer a witch to live, we hope the writer was in error about the source of the order. Christinnity demands that there le plenty of errors in the Old Testament."
Death of Bturgeon Johnson. Sturgeon Johnson, aged 24 years, died lust evening at Judson, of consumption, from which disease be had been a sufferer for quite a while. The remains will be brought her this evening and taken to the residence of Erastus Noland in Longview. The funeral will occur to morrow morning at ten o'clock, conducted by Rev. G. P. Fuson. The deceased was a son of Thomas Johnson who lately wont to Chicago.
00L. PRENTISS INGFIABAM, The Famous Writer of Flash Literature Is Here with Diamond Diotc.
It is seldom that you meet such a polished gentleman or such an interesting talker as Prenties I ngraht.ru,Uie well-known author of what is commonly called flash literature. The Colonel is now at the Jfutt House with Diamond Dick, and a representative of THK JomsNAII had a most interesting conversation with him this morning. He was discovered in a room by himself writing busily, and so absorbed was he that he did not notice the intrusion until Diamond Dick spoke and announced the arrival of a caller. With a smile he laid aside his pen and invited his guest to a ohair. "I was just at work on a new story of Diamond Dick," said he, "to be published in a few days by Rand, MoNally
Co., of Chicago. "You have been writing at it some time, I suppose." "Oh, no. I just joined Dick a few days ago at Lafayette for tho purpose of gathering material for the story and shall leave him at Chicago on Monday. The book will then be complete, containing about 90,000 words. I usually oomplete a story in a week or ten days. You see I never take any notes and I can therefore do my best work by writing Btraight ahead without interruption. Yes, I have written np Dick before, bnt there is enough romance, adventure and mystery in his life for several books. Some years ago I wrote 'Diamond Dick, or the Mystery of the Yellowstone,' and this present story will bs entitled, 'Diamond Dick, the Man of Mystery,' I think, although I may change it. I went west some years ago and lived a long time with such famous border characters us Diamond Dick, Buffalo Bill, Texas Jack, Arizona Joe and Pawnee Bill for the express purpose of getting material for border stories."
You write other kinds, don't you Colonel 'Yes, indeed. Do yon know there are stylos in stories just as much as in dress? For a long time publishers would have nothing but stories ot the sea. Then came a demand for detective stories which lasted about three years, Again it was the love or English society novel that commanded the high prices, followed by stories of travel and adven tare and the border novel. My exper ience as soldier and sailor, and my ex tensive travel has furnished me an in exhaustible fund of material for all the varieties of this 'tlash' literature." "So you were in tho war." "Yes sir, served in the Confederate army. Rebels you call us up here. It was in the service that I received mj title. I remember with a great deal ol pleasure that I was directly opposed to
Gen. Lew Wallace at Shiloh and other battles. By the way, I am a great ad mirer of Gen. Wallace, both as a soldier and author. His 'Ben Hur' is a great book," and here the Colonel exhibited well-worn copy of the fusions book.
Col. Ingraham is a well read man and has a positive taste for the very beet literature. He writes the flash, trashy kind because it is his way ot getitng a livelihood. He has a fine sense of humor also for he remarked with a smile as he handed out a copy of "The Sea Shadoweri or the Free Booter's Legaoy," "1 feel sorry for the people that read mj stories. I deeply BJ mpathize with th printers that have to set them. I nevei read them mysolf. IIow many have written? Well, I am almost ashamed to confess but without exaggeration have turned out at least five hundred. They have been published in such papers as tho New York Weekly, Beadles' Dime Library and so on. One of my stories, "Montezuma," has become quite celebrated and I take some pride in being its author. It took two weektto write it. I suppose I came by my taste for writing naturally for my father Rev. Dr. J. II. Ingraham,of Mississippi, was an author and wrote more substantial things than I do, his most famous work being "l'riiic« of the House of David."
As the reporter arose to go Col. Ingraham said, "My home is in one of the suburbs of Washington, 1). C. When you come to Wnehin^ton I shall be delighted to
BIIOW
you tho ci'.v. Yes, you
moy take that work with you bnt don't read it or be caught Joad with it." Col. Ingraham in no sense a manager for Diamond Dick who is abundantly competent to conduct his own business affairs in connection with hie practice of medicine.

OOATS OULIIIEGE V1SITQK8,
They Are Entertained in a Hoapitable Manner in Orawfordsville To-Day. The faoulty of Coates College for Women at Terre Haute arrived in Orawfordsville this morning at 8:14 and were entertained by the board of lady visitors residing here, Mesdames D. 0. Smith, K. E. Bryant, E. F. Thompson and James A. Mount. The faculty were met at the train by friends of the college in carriages and taken for a drive over the city. Wabash college and othor points of interest were visited and the guests entertained in a most cordial and hospitable manner. At noon a su mptnous dinner was served at the home ot Mrs. Thomson, at whioh were a number of guests from the city. During the afternoon a reoeption was tendered the visitors at Mrs. Thomson's and a large number ot ladies were entertained, affording the visitors a splendid opportunity ot meeting and becoming acquainted with the people of Orawfordsville, who have given the thriving young institution such a hearty support thus far in its history. Besides the ladies Received were the college faculty and the Presbyterian ministers of the oity. At 5 o'clook the visiting delegation returned to Terre Haute. The occasion was not only a pleasant one tor the instructors but will doubtless redound to the profit of the ladies oollege at Terre Haute. The faculty as presented made a most favorable impression on all and the list of pupils enrolled from Crawfordsville next fall will doubtless be a much larger one even than the present one. Coates oollege is coming rapidly to the front and is gaining distinction and an enviable reputation among the female colleges of the country.
The teachers who were present were President Duncan and Vioe President Little, Meedames Townley, Streaper and Haberly, Misses Wardwell, Carson,Giese Lewis, Decker, Pushee, Jocelyn, Cipriani and Creighton.
