POLITICS AND GIFTS.
WHAT SOME ASPIRANTS DID NOT FIND IN THEIR STOCKINGS.
More Attention Being Paid by Legisla-tors-Elect to the Character of Laws to Be Enacted Rather Than to the Filling of Places — Gossip on Several Subjects.
[Special Correspondence.]
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec 25.—This joyous Christmas morning a hundred Hoosiers —just think of it, a hundred, and maybe more—searched the interior of pedal coverings for some inkling of what they were to expect from the Indiana legislature. Some of them actually thought to receive an order for a position as clerk, assistant clerk, doorkeeper, state librarian, or something else, and heaved a sigh when brought to realize that Santa Claus had no control over the
gifts to be bestowed by one political party or another—that he is absolutely and positively nonpartisan in his favors, and having missed them had impartially skipped other seekers. Everybody

of this Administration that a soldier or
erty as the basis of a claim to a pen-
sion is something entirely new in the history of nations. Mr. Cleveland's attention should be directed to the fact, recognized every decent government on earth, that pensioner and pauper are not synonyms.
GOOD CITIZENSHIP.
Prof. Thomas Wilson, Curator of the Department of Prehistoric Anthropology, has written a very suggestive ar-
ticle for the Extension Department of the American Institute of Civics on "Character Building in Our Public
Schools," in which he says among the chief requirements for good citizenship are industry, honesty, truthful-
ness frugality and thrift, temperance, patriotism, obedience to law, and, in fine, the duty of citizenship can be ex-
pressed in the general phase of doing
one's duty to one's self, to one's family
and to society. The Government owes certain duties to its citizens, but the foregoing comprise the duties which go to make good citizens, and which the Government has a right to demand of every individual.
In order to procure an understanding and performance of these duties, or of whatever duties may be esteemed
to comprise good citizenship, the Gov-
eminent establishes its system of Public Schools and levies taxes upon private property within its jurisdiction in order to maintain them. In the foregoing list of duties, education has
not been mentioned, and it is believed

It Is only intended to urge the necessiof education in moral as well as intellectual requirements, to the end that the individual may fill the station [of life in which his lot is cast in an anorable manner, and may be enlled to perform properly and satisftorilv his duties as ^citizen—duties llf.

Like viduals who belong to the lower 'ill Bo^tonese, he could not prevent his spheres of society. We may grant that the well-educated man may be easier taught his duties of citizenship and his duty to his fellow man than he who is ignorant and untrained. But the fact remains that the same high education may also fit .him for success as a criminal or vicious member of society, if his character and training are such as will lead him in that direction. We know by actual experience, by our everyday observation, that the criminals in the box are quite as likely to be educated individuals as to be ignorant. A mere increase in information, the result of higher education, while it may make a man wiser, may not make him better.

The celebration of Jackson day, which is to include a banquet and speeches at Tomlinson hall on the evening of Jan. 8, will attract the most active men of that party to the city, and there isn't a doubt that many ot them will remain over to see the organization and start of the legislative mill.

I CHAELES HOWAKD MONTAGUE.
[Copyright, 1894, by American Press Association.]
[CONTINUED.]
An exceedingly sensitive and emotional creature was this Miss Maxey, and in a matter such as this, where her whole nature was aroused, she was a powerful friend and most dangerous adversary. It was entirely at her solicitation that the poor sufferer in the alcove chamber had been brought to the house. Miss Maxey listened to what her brother had to say with quick breath and shining eyes. Ah, if Dr. Lamar had had the soul of an artist, he would have found something more inspiring to look at than the icy river. "These are the facts," continued Maxey, tracing them all out on the top of the center table with a paper cutter as he talked. "It is now the 16th of December. On the 9th was the first sleighing of the year. The evening of that day a belated sleighing party just after nightfall discovered a woman's shawl in the middle of a lonely road at a point where it runs along the borders of a rocky bluff. Investigation follows and eventually results in the rescue of a young woman who was caught by the clothing upon a point of rock half way between the top and bottom of an almost vertical section of the bluff. This young woman is so badly injured internally that she is incapable of giving the least clew either to her identity or to the strange position in which she was found.
Nothing remains but to make a careful examination into the circumstantial evidence in the case. This turns out to be exceedingly meager, but such as it is it all points one way. "One of the pockets of the girl's clothes is found inside out, and the rest are empty. She has no ring upon her fingers nor jewels in her ears, although the ears are pierced. The dress of the unknown indicates that she belongs to the middle ciass, but the refinement and delicacy of her face and hands, which are singularly white and free from the trace of hard work, are even stronger evidences that she is not an ordinary shopgirl, to say the least. This turning of the pocket and utter absence of rings or ornaments lead naturally to the conclusion that she has been robbed and thrown from the road. In substantiation of this, the snow is trampled just above the place where she was found and smooth all along the roadside. One of the sleighing party is positive that she saw a man leap over a fence and run across the field on the other side of the way. A close scrutiny finds footsteps leading into the field at the point indicated. They are followed, and after a short detour lead around in the direction of the city into the road again, where they are lost irretrievably. In the absence of all other evidence we must suppose, then, that the girl was set upon and robbed by a person unknown and thrown over the bank to get rid of her.

Men able to learn his name. Hailing from the home of Mr. Owen, however, there is a suspicion hereabouts that he mav have an advantage at the •start, j: ,:
Wishard of the senate legislative apportionment committee, Crnmpacker on railroads, Cranor on fees and salaries and Haggard on finance bid fair to become recognized as the "big four" of the upper branch of the legislature. All of them are men of more than ordinary staturo. and all but Cranor come near being giants in physical development. Cranor is perhaps the taller of the crowd and the longest man in the seuate, but he is thinner than any of those mentioned.
Let us suppose the police take this for granted at the outset." "It is all they are good for, taking things for granted," commented Miss Maxey. "I can't see that they ever discover anything." "Very well. So far it is all plain and natural. But where did the victim come from, and how came she upon the cliff road alone at that time? At this point we find ourselves utterly unable to form any plausible theory. There is not a single clew to her identity, not a mark on the underclothing, not even an initial on the handkerchief. Suppose we are the police under the circumstances, what can we do? Nothing in the world except what they did do, photograph the girl and send her description, not omitting the smallest detail of clothing which she wore, and including the curious fact that one of the toes of her left foot is missing, broadcast over the com-

I have been surprised ar, the number of representatives who have told me that they know of no way of securing a complete list of aspirants, for tho reason that it was their practice to throw letters of application into the waste basket, and they took it for granted that others did likewise. It seems probable, therefore, that pushed out of the room,'' added Miss the mau who can come down on the eve
munity. The result is that the first day she is brought here the stairs are worn out with the footsteps of people whose only possible interest is that of curiosity, who come to see the victim under the pretext of attempting to identify her." 'And who stare and gawk about with open mouths until they have fairly to be pushed out of the room," added Miss
Maxey. "In short," continued the artist, "we are in danger of being turned into a museum for the exclusive patronage of all the idlers and deadbeats in the city. This clearly will not do, and we must get our medical adviser to declare a public inspection irritating and dangerous to the patient.'' "I believe it did annoy her,'' said Dr. Lamar. "At any rate, it did her no good.'' "And this is the strangest part of the mystery to my mind,'' continued Maxey, "that with all these precautions, with the newspapers printing, people talking and pictures and descriptions so available, nobody appears to claim her in all this time. It is as if she dropped down upon the cliff road from another planet. Wherever she has been people must have seen her; her friends must miss her. Then why are they silent?"
Dr. Lamar was still watching the ice blocks. Something suggested by Maxey's last words made him frown. He did not turn his head to remark: "You exaggerate, Julian. Because this case seems all important to you and your sister and—to me perhaps, and because a few policemen and reporters call, and the rabble who read the newspapers flock to your door when the opportunity is given them, you immediately think that the whole world has become excited over this curious affair.
All, let me tell you, is a large word, and everybody something which you don't imagine. How many thousand people in this very city today never read a newspaper and are too much occupied in their own struggle for existence to mind much about other people's! In spite of all that has been said and written, I'll warrant you not more than half of the total population of this metropolis has ever heard of the mystery of the beach road."
