A DIFFICULT PROBLEM-

WHATEVER MAY be said of the idiosyncrasies of the Indianapolis News on political questions it cannot be accused of catering to a tow standard of morale. On all questions affecting the public morality it has ever taken high grounds and has been instant in season and out of season in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the laws against gambling and the laws regulating the saloons. Editorially commenting on Rev. Mr. Milburn's sermon delivered in that city last Sunday the Netcs says:

Tboutch we may agree with Mr. Milburn in all this, and we do, we wish to make the point that the way of putting it uiay excite an expectation in proportion to deficiency of information. It may work some harm to the present, we shall not say administration, hut the present great effort to set Indianapolis forward iu a moral way, to suggest that any city administration can do as Mr. Milburn urges, rightly, is desirable. Our city already exacts alt that the law allows it ol the saloons. The regulation of the saloons is a matter of State law. They are licensed by the Hoard of County Commissioners. i'nc city has simply the right to collect, in addition to State and county licenses and lees, a city license of of 1*250, which It does. It is, of course, charged with the enforcement of the State laws prohibiting the sale of liquor on Sunday and othor specified days, and at night* after 11 o'clock. When this latter is done, as It is and as we hope and believe it will be done, all is done that our city can do. We can not. as a city, exact a greater license- We cau not exact a law closing saloons earlier. We can not diminish their number. We can not control the character of the licensees. This we thiuk should be emphslzed. The place to operate for a better law concerning the saloons Is in the Legislature, aud It is needed. We believe that to citieS shouid be giren larfer now era in this particular. But let us have a clear understanding o) things as they are.aud uotas we should like to have them

What is true of Indianapolis is tme of Cruwfordaville. However deeirable increased restraints may be to regulate the saloons yet there is the danger of the City Council stepping beyond «ke bounds of its power. With the Setcs THE JOURNAL believes that the place to operate for better laws restraining the saloons is in the Legislature. Beaching out after more laws, especial.y lawe of questionable validity, may be the means of retarding rather than of speeding the car of moral reform. It is idle to say that our present laws cannot be enforced. Whers there is a will there is a way. This was shown at Indianapolis laet Sunday. The responsibility after all rests upon the officers entrusted with the authority for their execution.

JCDQE A. C. CAPBOX, of the Fulton Circuit Court, has rendered a decision of vital importance to the stockholders of every building and loan association in Indiana. Some weeks ago the county assessor directed the Auditor of that county to place on the tax duplicate SI,500, the assessment on paid up stock in the Indiana Farmers' Building and Loan Association of Rochester, held by Frank H. Terry. The latter immediately commenced an action against the Auditor to restrain him from following the directions of the Assessor. Upon the hearing tbe court found that all paid-up stock issued by building and loan associations in Indiana, as well as installment stock, was exempt from taxation under section 89 of the acts of 1891. The court is adverse to the opinion of the Attorney Qeaeral and the decision of the dtate board of tax commissioners.

THE following ia a vivid picture conditions in free trade England: Thousands of women and children are subsisting on raw vegetables In the colliery and factory districts of England, owing to the miners' strikes. Merchants are' giving one gnl nea per ton for tbe poorest Scotch cod which they will retail at thirty shillings. Of course the poor cannot buy. Meanwhile the ruilroadB are suffering a decline In their tariff receipts, aud relief committees are vainly endeavoring to feed 2,000 families rendered destitute by the stopping of the strike pay. These deplorable conditions sadly need mending.

And yet monacled near-sighted statesmen are demanding that the United States should adopt English "tariff reform." They point with pride to -the prices which prevail in that country and tbe Ways and Means Committee are at work now framing a tariff bill to brit about similiar conditions in this country.

No compromise! Let UBhave what the vast majority of tho people want, or wait till tre can get \L—lndianapolls New*.

The last declaration of the people of Che United States, through their several national conventions, was in favor of "both gold and silver as standard money"—not subsidiary money—not token money, but money with whiot to measure values and pay debts. When did tho whole people of the United States change this opinion and become followers of Mr. Cleveland in his mad attempt to establish gold monometalism and British rnle in this country

THE Sherman law ia better than any compromise that has been suggested. Repealing one "miserable makeshift" and substituting another is too much like on attempt to define the difference between tweedle dee arid twee.dle dnm.

Oramlmn's Song.

In the corner, softly rocking. With lior knitting, grandma sat At lier feet before the fonder

Purred the household tabby cat Soft ami cheery slowed tho firelight, Ueflocting on the polished tongs, As raniim« plied lier needles nimbly,

And crooned thi* lenderest of songs: "Ye banks and braes o' bonuy Doon, llo'.v can ye bloom sac fresh and fair? How can ye clmr.t, ye littlo birds.

And 1 sae weary, fir o' care?"

There beside her on a hassock Sat her d.irliuc golden head, Liule Mabel, with her dolly.

Nearly ready for her bed. Through the thoughts of that wee maldee Hang the notes of that old tune. And between her childish fancies .•

Swept ils dreamy, tender rune: "Ye bank^ and braes o' bonny Doon, How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair? How can ye chant, yo littlo birds,

And 1 sae weary, fu' o' carer'

To grandn a's lap climbed little Mabel, List'nins to her grandma's song, Aud the firelight danced upon them

As they sat its rays among. And by and by tho golden tresses Lay damp and soft on grandma's dress. While the eyolids softly drooping

In slumber sweet did lightly press: *Ve banks and braes o' bonny Doon, How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair? How can ye chant, ye littie birds.

And 1 sae weary, tu' o' care?-'

Still crooned the gentle, loving grandma. While sluwer, slower moved her chair. And lower beut the head of silver.

Till gold and sirver mingled there And fell upon the snowy muslin Gatlierci: round her withered throat Aud stlU she crooned until in slumber

The sons in silence lost iu note: :. "Ye banks and braes o' bonny Doon, How can ve bloom sae fresh and fair? How can yo chant, yo little birds.

And 1 sae wearv, fu' o'care? How can ye sing, ye little birds That warble through the flowery thorn? Ye mind mo o' departed Joys,

Departed never to return." —Olive Harper.

UBIQUITOUS MICROBES.

Th. Little Wretches An Found Everywhere by Thou.aads of Mllllons. Dr. Manfredi has been announcing some disquieting facts concerning the omnipresence of fatal microbes. In the busy thoroughfare of a crowded city he has found 1,000,000,000 microbes to a gram of dust, and in the dirtiest streets 5,000,000,000 per gram. A large number of disease-producing microbes were found among these, the number of such morbific germs being directly proportional to the aggregate number of microbes. Of forty-two cases in which he inoculated guinea pigs with Neapolitan dust he detected the tubercle bacilli (the germ of consumption) in three, the bacillus of pus in eight, the bacillus of tetanus in two, the bacillus of malignant oedema in four, and other fatal bacilli. A medical paper suggests that the streets of American cities should be tested for microbes, and is eonfldent that in many of them a harvest as rich in variety and deadliness as was garnered in Naples could easily be secured. Emphasis is given to Dr. Manfredi's alarming statistics by the results of some investigations which have been carried on by Prof. Ufielman with respect to the carrying of cholera bacilli by means of letters, postal cards, etc. He infected a letter with the bacilli and put it in the ordinary way into a post bag. In the course of twenty-four hours the letter was taken out and the bacilli were still living. They were also found still living on postal cards twenty hours after infection, but on coins they seemed to die with great rapidity. The reason for this difference could not be discovered. On woolen and linen stuffs the bacilli enjoyed a particularly long life. The busiest and most effective infection carrier was found to be the common fly. A fly which had been infected by being put on to a mass of cholera bacilli was placed on a piece of beef. When the beef was examined soon after it contained an enormous quantity of living bacteria.

Prof. UiTelrnan deduces from his experiments the oft-taught lesson that in time of epidemics the most scrupulous cleanliness is the best safeguard.

YARNS OF FISH AND FOWL.

Some Wonderful Thing. Which Hare Happened ID the World of Sport. An enthusiastic sportsman in Port Kenyon, Humboldt county, Cal., knows plenty of queer things. "I have," he says, "a true fish story for which I can vouch. A gentleman living not a mile from this town cast seven successive lines with three flies on his leader and securely landed out of Eel river'seventeen trout weighing over one pound each. Three different casts yielded three fish each, and two different casts two fish each." The writer says this is not a fish "story" and then goes on to relate some more wonderful things. "My son," he says, "killed a whole snipe on the wing with his rubber slung at a single shot." Inferentially the young man frequently kills part of a snipe. On this particular oceasion it appears that he killed a whole snipe This interesting writer says further and with becoming modesty: "I had what 1 think a most extraordinary thing happen to me. I was riding on horseback from Eureka, when I saw a single duck flying toward me. The duok made a swoop down to a slough running along the roadside, and settled on the water. Being a very active man, a'nd having a way of alighting frcrtn my horse at a leap. 1 jumped down and pretended to throw at the duck. He dived and, the water being clear, I kept sight of Mr. Duck, and by throwing rocks and slicks kept him under water until he was so nearlv drowned that I was able to pick him up and carry him home to Bear river alive." The writer concludes by telling of a man who killed forty ducks at one discharge of his gun, and of party of six hunters who killed over enc thousand wild fowl in one da v.

A MOB OF HIGH-BRED WOMEN.

Disgraceful 9c«nei at the Qu»«n'« Latent Reception. The disgraceful proceedings of a rude and ill-conducted crosvd, mainly composed of women, assembled at the queen's drawing room, which "Is held for the purpose of enabling women of accredited positions to pay their respects to their sovereign, and present to her their daughters or other ladies who have not thus made their formal entry into society," is described by the Ladies' Pictorial of London, It is reasonable to suppose that under such circumstances the conduct of the women would be beyond reproach, but, on the contrary, it seems to be somewhat on the order of the crowd at the races, and the approach to the throne is converted into a scene of coufusion and vulgarity. At the first drawing-room in May tbe gorgeously dressed guests apparently disregarded the fact that they were there by the queen's invitation, and also the supposition that they were fit for the honor of reception by her majesty, and self-repose, good breeding and the common forms of politeness were entirely forgotten in their desire to be first. These same women would" be shocked at the idea of mingling with a work-a-day crowd trying to gain admittance to a public building, but here the models of courtesy, dignity and polite education push, jostle and elbow their way—really prod and strike each other in their frenzied eagerness to fight their way to the front. They lose all regard for appearances and consideration for others.

The account further soys Diamonds, feathers and flowers strew the ground after one of these aristocratio melees, veils are torn, and refined features are distorted by heat and wild exertion. Court officials express their opinions very hard, but no attention is paid to this. The struggle goes on with the same desperate fury, and by the time these grandes dames appear before the queen they are haggard and almost untidy."

On former occasions their disorderly conduct has not come directly to the queen's notice, but finally the scuffling has reached the royal ear, and it is considered necessary to restrict the members admitted, in order to protect the royal family from their subjects, and avoid the actual presence of a cordon of police to keep the ladies from pelting each other with bouquets and tumbling headlong into the queen's presence. So the edict has gone forth that hereafter there shall be only a limited number received.
