FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 8,1893.

IT is estimated that $177,000,000 has been taken out of national banks by depositors sinoe the panic began.

ACCORDING to the report of the Com-mander-in Chief over 7,000 comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic received their final discharge papers during last year.

FRANKFORT will build an outlet sewer extending four miles from the city at a cost of $43,000. The oost per mile for constructing sewers within the city is estimated at $5,000 per mile. Frankfort is a wideawake, snappy, progressive city.

IF we are to have many seasons like the present our farmers will be compelled to turn their attention to the subject of irrigation. If it pays to irrigate the sandy plains of the West it will certainly pay to irrigate the rich soil of Indiana. Crops then would be an absolute certainty.

THE positive assurance comes from a reliable source In Washington that Joshua Jump, ot Tumi Haute, t* boofcod for the revenue collectorsblp for the district of which -that city is headquarters. Judjre Jump Is one of Senator Voorhees' henchmen and his appointment was Included in the considerations which converted the Tall Sycamore to the President's financial policy.—ZrfiFayeMr- Courier.

Equally positive are the assurances from a reliable source in Washington that Walter F. Hulett, ot this city, is booked for theCollectorship.

A FEW days ago THB JOURNAL mentioned a case of great injustice in regard to Wm. Poor, ot Newport, an old soldier whose pension had been suspended by order of Hoke Smith. He was drawing a pension ot 812 tor double hernia,, and was totally incapacitated for work. The action of the Pension Bureau EO worried bim that it had the effect to unbalance his mind and he became a raving maniac. This week he died.

A WASHINGTON special to the Indianapolis News says: Congressmen Cooper and Brookahire called at the White House this morning and saw the President. Mr. Brookahire is interested in the appointment of a postmaster at Crawfordsville. He has recommended Mr. Voris for the appointment.

Mr. Voris will hardly get into the offioe at the expiration of Mr. Bonnell's time even if the appointment is acted upon immediately. The usual red Upe has to be gone through with and Mr. Bonnell'B time expires in a few days.

LET US sift from Ex-President Harri son's noble address of welcome to the Grand Army of the Republic a few striking phrases here and there, as fol lows:

The4 American soldier of the civil war has not been commercially greedy. He was not tempted to service by his monthly stipend. 1 saw that great parade, with the gallant and lamented General Sherman at 1U head, sweep by the Treasury of the United States and there was not a greedy eye turned toward It-

Only when he became the veteran of time, when the parallels of are grew close about the citudel of life and the arm that had wrought so bravely for his country, and so sturdllr for his family lost Its strength, only then did Jhe turn his hopeful eye toward the government for re lief.

Ill* a familiar maxim of law that remedial legislation id to have a favorable interpretation in the Interest of the evil to be remedied.

We may Insist that in the administration of the la the soldiers' integrity and houor shall not be wantonly impeached.

We do not ask that any who have fraudulently claimed a place upon the pension rolls be kept there but we do ask that other familiar maxim of law, that fraud Is to be proved and not presumed, shall be applied to the soldier's claim.

We are itnj &,vntonly with those who start with a prejjdlce against the soldier.

THE Chicago News finds the Democratic party, ot which it has been of late, years a constant supporter, much perplexed on the question of public revenue. The paper says:

The revenue conditions of the government are by nojneans encouraging. During July the revenues tell short of requirements about 14,000,000. The August deficit amounts to nearly four times this sum. Thus In two mouths the expenditures have exceeded recelptn alout 920,000.000, a rate, which if main talned would amount to91^0,000,000 a year.

This insufliciency of revenue Is a matter of great gravity. It is the result of two causes an increased fixed expenditure and a diminishing ro\euue. It becomes necessary, therefore. eliberjthat the expenditures be dlmln ished, the revenue increased or the public debt enhanced.

It appears to be out of the question to cut down the expenditures of the government now or hereafter to Buch an extent asjrlll make up for the deficiency of revenue. It is by no means clear how, with a revision of the taritf reduclog custom dues, the revenue cau be .increased. It Is a matter of some doubt whether an lucrease of the loternal revenue tax will result In Increased revenues from that source. An extension, of taxation by the creation of an income tax or a tax on estates Is proposed. One of these would, perh*iw, accomplish the purpose of incrcaidng the revenue sufficiently but there isadisinOluaUon on the part of the administration to go on record as having increased tuxes.

This question of revenue must necessarily exert a powerful intluonce ou the proposed revision of the taritf.

Despair.

Oh, I am sick at heart. The oye of \ay, The insistent summer sun, seems pitiless, Shining In all tho barren crevices Of weary life, leaving no shade, no dark. Where I may dream that hidden waters lie. As pitiless as to some shipwrecked man. Who, gazing from his narrow shoal ot sand On the wide, unspecked round of blue and blue. Sees that full light is errorless despair. The insects' hum that slurs the silent dark Startles and seems to cheat me, as the tread Of coming footsteps cheats the midnight watcher Who holds her heart and waits to hear them pause. And hears them never pause, but pass and die. Music sweeps by me as a messenger Carrying a message that Is not for me. The very sameness of the hills and sky Ts obduracy, and the liugering hours Walt round me dumbly, like superfluous slaves. Of whom 1 want naught but the secret news They are forbid to tell. _____ —George ElioL

A Pagan's Prayer.

O Mother, I have loved thee without fear, And looked upon the mystery of change, Since first a child, upon the closing year,

I saw the snowfl^kes fall and whispered, "Strange."

not

I have not faltered, and thou hast not failed. For I have lifted up my heart to thee. And thou hast ever hearkened and drawn near. And bowed thy shining face down over me

Till I could hear thee as tho hill flowers hear.

And I have cried to thee In lonely need. Being but a child of ihlnc bereft and wrung. Till all the rivers in the hills gave heed.

And the great hill winds in thy holy tongue—

That ancient incommunicable speech The April stars and autumn sunsets know— Soothod me and calmed with solace beyond reach

Of human ken, mysterious and low. Then in that day when the last snow shall como And chill the fair round world within its fold. Leave me not friendless in the gathering gloom,

But gird thine arms about me as of old.

With sleep once more in thy companionate hands. Croon inc a murmur as of many rills When I would rove tho crimson valley lands-

With all my vanished comrades of the hills. When that great storm out of tho dark shall drive

And blur the sun and bugle my release. Let not thy weary earthling faint nor strive. Faring beyond the tumult to thy peace. —Bliss Carman.

THE BOSS BORROWER.

Ho Obtained a Million and a Half Without Any Security. "The man who can start in life on nothing and borrow a million and a half without security is a beautv," said a traveler to a St. Louis GlobeDemocrat man. "Yot I know a man that did that identical thing-. In fact, he was an unclc of mine, my mother's brother-in-law. "He was a German, and lived all his life in Berlin. He was a very suave, smooth gentleman, knew everybody worth knowing*, hobnobbed with tho nobles of Emperor William's court, and loved to live. He was engaged in living that was his entire occupation in life, and yet he was one of the greatest artists in Europe. "Whenever he thought himself on the wane among those who looked upon him as an idol he painted a picture, put it on exhibition, had all Europe talking about it, and then he did nothing for a couple of years. "Some years ago the art fever broke out in a most malignant form among the wealthier Germans of Cincinnati. They meant to have the best of modern painters do a lot of work for themMy distinguished relative's name was well known among them, aud he was invited to Cincinnati. "He came over, and for a couple of months he was a lion. He was feasted and entertained most royally. He submitted some ideas for painting, and the people who brought him over went crazy over his plans. Finally he induj€Ki them to advance him seventyfive thousand dollars on the work, and he returned to Germany to do his pairfting. "He died about a year after, aud when the Cincianatians started to look up the paintings thej* found nothing but the original sketches. He hadn't touched them since the day he first submitted them in Cincinnati. "That started an investigation, and it was found that he had borrowed in the course of his career something over one million five hundred thousand dollars. He hadn't a dollar's worth of security, and had simply de voted his time and talents to the pur suit of living."

Shot from a Gun.

When standing within a few yards of the grin's muzzle at the time of discharge, a person would be amazingly astonished were he only able to see the shot go whizzing- by. Experiments in instantaneous photography prove to ua that tho shot not only spread out comet-like, as the fly, but they string out, one behind the other, to a much greater distance than they spread. Thus, with a cylinder gun, when tho shot of a charge reaches a target that Is forty yards away, the last shot is lagging a full ten yards behind. Even a ohokebore gun shot will lag behind right yards in forty.
