SATURDAS, MAY IB, 1893.

THIS is the time of year when the Burface dishwater drains begin to smell to heaven. Sewerage would do away with them.

PARAMOUNT AUTHORITY BLOUNT? has been appointed Minister Resident at Honolulu. The question arises why was this step not taken in the first place

THE asses are jrreiither than any master A Dcmoci title Congress should bear lliis in mind.—Frankfort ('rcsccnt, Dcm.

The feeling of discontent under "Master" Cleveland's lash is beginning to break out in spots all along the line.

SENATOR MILLS thinks a duty on sugar, tea and coffee should be adopted in the present emergency. Other Damocrats say these should be left free and a tax put on incomes. A big fight is promised.

LEBANON voted on Tuesday on the question of water works. The proposition for municipal ownership carried by a majority of 350 out of a vote of G54. The citizens of that place start off right foot in front.

THE McKinley law is ]ust as much "the culminating atrocity of class legislation" now as it ever was, but the Democrats seem to have reconciled themselves to it in a way that makes the Chicago platform look very silly.

THE statistics show that the colored people of Virginia pay taxes on property valued at §13,000,000. That is not a bad record for a class which thirty years ago was bought and sold in the open market with the cattle and horses and hogs.

GRASSBUBNER BYNUM has been converted to Cleveland's way of thinking on the silver question. Behold what a great flame the little fire of appointments kindleth. A gaping world is anxious to know now where BrookBhire stands,

THE seductive Trusc has gobbled up the Indiana School Book Company, that particular pet of the Indiana Democracy. The American School Book Company, a trust of gigantic proportions, has taken it in hoof, horns and hide. The Indiana concern exchanged $250,000 of its stock for a like amount of the American's stock, and in addition receives a $200,000 bonus. One of the promises made by the Democracy [jwas to Bmash the trusts, but like all its promises to reform the world they go from conquering to conquest.

THE New York P? •ess says the recent outflow of gold to foreign countries, has called attention to the great quantity of that coin that is annually carried abroad by American visitors. It is estimated that last year the sum reached §100,000,000. The amount of gold brought to the United States last year by foreign tourists was about $30,000,000. If these figures are correct, §70,000,000 more gold was taken out thun was received by this means. This year the prospects are that the balance will be reversed in "ur favor. Owing to the Chicago Fair ewer Americans will go abroad, and an unusual number of foreigners will visit the United States. It is interesting to consider what effect this may have upon our national supply of gold coin.

SINCE Cleveland IIRB been President he has issued a series of manifestoes not one of which has he enforced. His latest proclamation is a warning to office seekers to keep off the white house grass, figuratively speaking. No person hat the remotest idea that this rule will stand. It only illustrates the egotism of the man. An American President who pretendB to be the superior of his fellow-citizenB and to bar the doors of the Presidential mansion to their entrance on public business, lacking in fundamental ]American principles. This great egotist seems to forget that a few months ago he was the

Office Seeker in Chief and that he was then a beggar asking alms of the men whom he has so unceremoniously kicked out the white house door.

CONTRAST, if you please, the platform of the convention which met at Chicago, in June, 1892, with the speech of Grover Cleveland who in May,1893, opened that most magnificent exhibit of the products of American industry. The convention declared the system of protection, under which these results have been achieved.

a fraud, a robbery and a violation of the constitution. Mr. Cleveland's speech is the most vivid demonstration possible of the falsity of these declarations.

BEFORMING THE DRINK HABIT. Dr. Rainsford, record of St. George's Church, New York, recently suggested a startling and original method of reforming the liquor traffic. Assuming it as proved that in some form or another alcohol is here to stay, and that its use cannot be entirely abolished,he concluded that the masses of the people must have provided for them some means of procuring drink which would

Dot

be ac­

companied by the evil associations at present connected with the saloons. What are we to do, therefore, with the mass of the populace that demand alcohol in some shape or other? The answer to this question Dr. Rainsford finds in the fact that amusement, variety,aroused interest are the true and deadliest foes to the drink habit and he contends that what the people need is a public house that will be no mere dram shop, but will be in effect a club house, providing food of various kinds, amusement such as music, and making the sale of milk, coffee and tea as much its staple trade as beer, wines, etc. He proijoses that groups of people in our large cities should establish such public houses, which would be effective rivals of the saloons by cheering the sadly monotonous lives of a large part of our city population.

To secure the widest discussion of Dr. Rainsfords's suggestions concerning hie theory for the reform of the drink habit he has adopted a somewhat unique plan. He will write two articles on the subject, the first of which will appear in the May number of the North American Review. In this he will define his theory briefly, and inyite the public at large to send him questions and criticisms regarding it. His second article will appear in the June number of the Review-, and in it he will answer the most pertinent of the questions and criticisms which have been sent to him. All communications should be addressed to the Rev. W. S. Rainsford, D. D., care of the North American Revieio, No. 3 East Fourteenth Street, New York City, and should be in his hands not later than May 12th.

THE MODERN MAGAZINE. A fair idea of the expense attending the issue of one of the leading magazines can be obtained by an examination of Scvibner's Magazine for May. The Chicago Journal's New York correspondent estimates the literary work as follows, and this is considered the minimum, some estimates being nearly double: Stories by Hurte, Hardee and Cable, at $r00 to SI.000 $2,000 Stories by liesaut, James, Uunner and

Jewett, At $UOO to 8500 1,500 Artiele by Howells 800 Poem by Aldrich 200 Poem by Stevenson 100 Article by Hlum, continuing series -00 Mrs. Harnett's serial, single installment 300 M. Sarccy's article 200 Washington manuscript 1,000

Total $7,800

The Washington manuscript may have cost as much as §5,000, but it is guess work. The ar„ work required for the pictures cost about §12,000. Paper, press work, mailing, salaries, etc., bring the aggregate up to $00,000. For the receipts, estimate the advertising at §150 to 200 a page, and the receipts from the sale of the edition at §50,000, and you may come near the profit or lose upon such an undertaking.

THEHE are in the United States Treasury more than §300,000,000 in gold. he 8100,000,000 which the people have heard so much about is a special reserve, set upart for a certain purpose. The idea of the Government becoming bankrupted is the very climax of absurdity. The machine is all right. What is needed is an intelligent hand at the throttle. The most skillfully construced and perfect engine will play havoc in the hands of a neophyte.

THE Western Association of Writers will hold its annual meeting at Warsaw from June 26 to June 30, inclusive. One-half of each day will be given to recreation, excursions, boating, fishing and social enjoyment. The other half, and the evenings, to the work of the Association, consisting of addresses, essays, sketches, poetry, criticism, discussions, business, and the practical work of writers. A wide variety of topics will be considered.

THE ORPHANS' HOME.

Britton's Glen Bought by the Board of Commissioners. The Board of Commissioners yesterday bought eight acres of Britton's Glen, just weBt of the city limits, for the Orphans' Home. The price paid was §350 an acre. They will at once proceed to erect suitable buildings.

H00S1ER HAPPENINGS.

Information of Especial Interest to Indianians.

Morton Sues the United States. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 11.—Oliver T. Morton, clerk of the Seventh circuit of the United States court of appeals, has filed suit against the United States in the district court here, which is to have the provision of the law creating his oflice and defining his compensation construed. The law provides a salary of S3,000 a year for the clerk, and he avers that it also provides that he shall be entitled to the fees and costs. The clerk hire and incidental expenses are paid out of the fees, and he alleges that prior to January there was above this hire and expense 5371 in fees rightfully belonging to him. lie alleges that the first comptroller of the treasury ordered him peremptorily, April 3, to pay this sum into the general fund, and this he did under protest. The fees of the office in total amounted to 81,030.11 prior to last January. The fee section of the law is somewhat vague as to the disposition of surplus fees.

Foot Kiley Gains a Point.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 11.—The appellate court Wednesday reversed the decision of the superior court in the case of Amos J. Walker against James Whiteomb Riley, the lloosier poet.

In 1SS9 they formed a contract with E. W. Nye and James 15. Pond. Riley was to receive-800 for each appearance anil Walker was to be traveling agent on a salary of 850 a week. It is claimed that Riley refused to lecture at Madison, Wis., on January 27, 1S90, and thirteen days later declined to carry out the contract. The superior court awarded damages of S'.'3'J against Riley. The court reversed the decision and instructed the lower court to sustain the motion for anew trial.

Mi ers' Strike Ended.

TEHRK IIAUTE, Ind., May 11.—After ten days of conference the Indiana bituminous operators and miners Wednesday signed a contract for the scale year, beginning May 1 last.

The men gained one point in securing $2 a day instead of $1.90 for day labor beneath the surface. The operators refused to comply with the recently amended law providing for weekly pay day, but signed to pay semimonthly as heretofore. Work will be resumed by about 5,000 men to-day, and it is expected to be one of the busiest years that the men ever had.

CHICAGO, May 11.—Thomas Jlefferman. a stationary engineer living at No. Montana court, was shot and instantly killed late Wednesday night by his wife, Mary Heiferman. The shooting occurred at the corner of West Fortyseventh and Ontario streets and was the result of a fight between Ilefferman and Edward Russell. Several weeks ago Ilefferman had a quarrel with his wife over the attentions paid to her by Russell, a switchman the employ of the Northwestern road. They became estranged, and finally, two weeks ago, Mrs. Heft'erman left her husband. Wednesday night Heiferman left his home at No. 9 Montana court with the object of seeking his wife to get her to return to him. He found her at the residence of her friends at Grand and O'Brien avenues, and they seemed to settle their difficulty amicably. They left the house together and started on their way back. At the corner of Forty-seventh and AVest Ontario street they met Russell. Ilefferman and Russell became engaged in a quarrel. Mrs. Ilefferman attempted to separate them. She had a revolver and in the struggle shot her husband in the left breast, killing him almost instantly. Sirs. Heiferman and Russell were placed under arrest. The woman claims that she had taken the revolver from Heft'erman in the struggle and that it was accidentally discharged. She claimed that Heft'erman intended to kill Russell and that she only interfered to prevent a murder. She says her husband was insanely jealous of her.

Three Men Killed ly the C'urs at Puilninn, Hi. Hun Down "While Crossing the Traeks-The liodia* of Two AVere Horribly Mutilated.

CHICAGO, May 11.—Three men were instantly killed on the Illinois Central tracks at One Hundred and Eleventh street, Pullman, Wednesday, being struckbv a switch engine while dodging around a freight in order to catch passenger train across the tracks. The men were on their way to work. The

Gus Thoinastown, Cornelius Wagner and Andrew Olson. Anton Westinc received slight injuries at the same time. Between the freight and the passenger train, for which the men were waiting, lay several intermediate tracks, and fearing that the freight would not pass in time to allow them to catch the passenger the men started to skirt the caboose and cut across the tracks. As they swung around the rear end of the train they started on the adjoining track directly in front of a switch engine, running rapidly in a direction opposite to A'hich the freight was moving.

Almost instantly Olson and Wagner were caught between the wheels. Thomastown, who had not reached the middle of the track, was struck and thrown some distance to one side. Anton Wcstine, who had been waitfor the same train, started to follow the others, and was behind Thomastown. He was struck in the side by the engine and knockcd down. His injuries are not severe. Olson and Wagner were instantly killed. Thomastown received injuries that resulted in death in a few moments after the accident occurred. Dr. McClain was called, but could do nothing to relieve the man. Westine's wounds were dressed and the physician says he will recover. The bodies of Olson and Wagner, who were instantly killed, were cut to pieces. The remains were removed to Rolston's undertaking rooms.
