SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1893.

REDUCED railroad fares will enable thousands of people to visit the World's Fair who can't walk there.

TIIEODORE ROUSEVELT threatens to withdraw from the Civil Service Commission, This would no doubt be a pleasing step in the eyes of the "hungry and thirsty."

CINCINNATI Tribune:—The average individual has a Binile of deep satisfaction when he sees the ice man in front of the coal dealer's home. Both have such funny weighs.

GOVERNOR TILLMAN of South Carolina, has already invested $50,000 in whisky and beer for his State saloons. "With the ordinary profit on these liquids the State should net $1,000,000 out of the investment.

IF the financial question is the only one thaa now menaces the prosperity of the country, as Mr. Clevelond expresses it, why not call a speoial session of Congress next week and not wait until September

THE shipments of currency from New York to the West for the week are estimated at $7,000,000, offset by about $2,000,000 received from the South and neighboring cities. The heaviest movement has been in Chicago.

CLEVELAND has returned from his fishing trip, but there is no reason to believe that his absence haB modified the severity of his prejudice against those of his fellow citizens who cherish the idea that pie is made to be distributed to the hungry.

The raid on the Chicago savings banks will hurt the banks less than it will the depositors who are drawing out their money. A month hence, or perhaps earlier, they will be back at the banks again with their cash. Meanwhile they will lose the interest.

•'GOVERNMENT," says Edmund Burke, "is a device of human wisdom to provide for human wants." In this excellent definition President Cleveland can find abundant justification for doing all that

the laws allow him to do in the way of relief from existing financial stress.

CHICAGO Inter Ocean: Those fraudulent pensioners are a good deal like "the milk sickness," in regard to which there is always "millions of it over in the next county." Hoke Smith had to go all the way to Indiana for his "deaf pensioner," and found he could hear thunder and was

Buch

an immense fraud that he im­

mediately set about defrauding some 15,000 honest pensioners of their dueB.

As everybody knew Postmaster Donham, of Terre Haute, will continue to hold the fort. First Assistant Postmaster General Jones has written a long letter to that gentleman in which he makes known his decision in the muddle that has been agitating the entire Wabash country. The decision

Bustains

Donham in his efforts to obtain possession of the office, but does not sustain his arbitrary removal of the carriers and other employes of the office.

THE past five months has been a period of liquidation in the stock and bond market. The "industrial" Btocks, of which Cordage is a recent example of heavy depreciation in value, have lost more than $105,000,000 in market value since January. Twenty-nine of the leading railway and other stocks listed by the New York Stock Exchange, have experienced a shrinkage in value of about $300,000,000. It is estimated by conservative authorities in New

York city that the total depreciation in the values of all the Btocks traded in on the Exchange has been at leaBt $500, 000,000.

DURING the campaign the Democratic newspapers and speakers, in their advo cacy of free trade iterated and reiterated the statement that increased imports on our part would lead to increased exports that if we bought more of foreign na tione, they would buy more of us. But the cold, hard facts demolish this beau tiful theory. Our imports have greatly increased, yet our exports of grain have fallen off. We are buying abroad more than we Eell. Wheat is not going out in increased volume to pay for our in creased imports, but our gold is forced to go to pay for them. So much for the facts when placcd against theories.

GUARDING THE PUBLIC HEALTHThe June Century contains the first of several papers relating to hygiene being a discussion of the public health by Dr. T. Mitchell Prnden. He says: "For the effective prevention of the bacterial diseases two sets of forces must act in concert: First, the people must know wherein the greBt sources of danger lie, and that by simple, intelligent cleanliness these sources of danger may be largely sealed. It requires only a moderate degree of intelligence, and the mastery of only a small domain of fact, to make each person a most useful agent in

thiB

new crusade against disease nor

is it necessary that'such knowledge and such helpfulness should involve much or sustained attention. Ours has been aptly enough called 'an age of pitiless enlightenment' but if now and then, at the dictates of Hygeia, we must lend attention to the bald, gruesome dangers which crowd in menace upon our path, surely she is cruel only to be kind. The cleanliness which Hygeia demands today is a little cleaner, that is all, than that which has been hallowed these many years. It is only necessary to be a little more discriminating regarding the pedigree of dirt, and to realize that dirt from infectious sources can kill. But the fact that his danger of acquiring infectious disease comes to the citizen largely from without his walls, and from sources which he cannot directly control, leads to the second and greater force which must be brought to bear if we are to enter into and retain our restored inheritance—that is, to the individual and concerted action of local health boards. These organized bodies of men devoted to the interests of the public health must now add to the powers which they have wielded so long and so well the weapons won from the new knowledge. To see to it that water supplies are kept unpolluted that human waste is safely disposed of that food supplies are not derived from infectious sources that streets and other public places are kept clean that overcrowding in schools, tenements, and lodging-houses is not allowed that proper measures of isolation, disinfection, and cleansing shall be practised wherever infectious disease occurs that the citizen may be intelligently counseled whenever in doubt about his sanitary surroundings, or coerced to cleanliness when ignoraatlv or wantonly at fault—these are some of the tasks which rest in the hands of local health authorities, and upon whose intelligent and faithful execution our immunity from infection so largely depends." And the Doctor might have added that no town of ten thousand people should be without a complete system of sewerage.

AN inftipient rebellion has broken out among the students of the State Normal at Terre Haute, over the action of the Board of Trustees in dismissing one of the members of the faculty. The question has simply resolved itself into one of authority. If the trustees are a set interlopers and have usurped the power which seemingly belongs to the students they should step down and out and permit the young jackanapes and jackanapesses to name the faculty. If, on the other hand the students have no authority conferred upon them by law to select teacherB they should submit to the powers that be. If they don't like the action of the Board, let them get out and stay out. They should have lessons taught them on the sacredness and majesty of the law. A young man or young woman who has no respect for the law iB not fitted for teaching in the public schools of this State, and the sooner they seek some other calling the better it will be for the rising genera tion.

THE Indianapolis News finds fault with McKinley's speech accepting renomination for Governor of Ohio. The News has an idea that a man's convictions are like a suit of clothes to be doffed and donned at the pleasure of the wearer. In other words a statesman should be a weather cock and should point in the direction that the wind is blowing. McKinley's ideas are that a man Ehould be true to his convictions of ight regardless of the perverted opinion of the people as sometimes expressed at the polls, especially last fall. As be tween the two ideas we prefer the McKinley idea. It is the Neivs that would have men play the demogogue and not McKinley.

THE renomination of McKinley for Goyernor of Ohio will serve to remind the people that a great deal of frantic kicking was done last year about a certain law which bears his name by men who now eeem to have forgotten that such a measure was ever passed.

THE Indianapolis Record, the new morning paper at the Capital City, has been enlarged and has begun a Sunday iseue. It is a healthy looking infant and bears evidences of having made a good start for long newspaper life.

THE action of the City Council in re-electing Dr. E. H. Cowan as a member of the School Board will meet with well nigh universal approval. The Doctor has made an intelligent and painstaking official and has performed his duties in a most industrious and conscientious manner. This is true of the Board in its entirety. Under its direction the Central school building has been rebuilt ana placed in a better condition than it ever was before the fire. While the Board was economical it was not niggardly, and the citizens have a feeling of pardonable pride in the improvements that have been made in that structure. Our schools, too, are in a most flourishing condition and every department is running smoothly and without friction. There has been a hearty co-operation on the part of the Board with the teachers and superintendent and the result is a state of affairs that is highly satisfactory

THE Eastern market for wool has been extremely dull during the past week. The sales are small, and btivers are purchasing only such small lots as they need for their immediate uee. There is a conservative feeling all through the market, induced largely by the unsettled financial condition. All through the WeBt the movement of the new clip of wool has been extremely slow. In the far West matters appear to be at a standstill. Growers are holding their wool, and their views are above those of Eastern buyers. Besides, the scarcity of money is proving a hindrance to the movement of the clip, and it will be a serious question where the money is to come from, unless the conditions show a decided change.

DR. J. N. TAYLOR, of the State Board of Health, in conversation with THE JOURNAL this morning, said the sanitary condition of Crawfordsville was simply horrible, and should an epidemic of any kind introduce itself here we would be illy prepared to combat its ^ravages. The condition of many of the alleys, vaults and other places where household wastes were deposited is disgustingly vile. The carelessness of many citizens is manifestly criminal and something iimst be pronqjtly done in the direction of cleaning up. The council would do well to consider the matter this evening and to formulate a plan similar to that of last year and much more thorough and exacting.

THE Massachusetts Legislature at its recent session enacted a law providing that after August 1, 1896, the tires on the wheels ot draught wagons used in that State shall be from three to five inches wide. This is a practical step toward road reform. Such tires tend to make good rords, serving in a measure as rollers. New York has a law which exempts the owners of wagons with wide tired from certain road taxes. Indiana must do something' to protect her expensively built gravel roads from being cut all to pieces by the narrow tired wagons in common use.

WHEN the late BaylesB W. Hanna, of Indiana, was informed that he could get the mission to Persia under Mr. Cleveland's former administration, he replied: "Of course I'll take it, but where in hell is Persia?" Now that Col. Jake Childs, of Missouri, Minister to Siam under the first Cleveland term, has been appointed Consul to Hankow, there may be those who, omitting the profanity from Col. Hanna's remark, will make an inquiry similar to that propounded by Col. Hanna. To all such we will say that Hankow is a thriving port in China. —St, Louis Globe-Democrat.

HON. POINDEXTER DUNN is a Democratic Congressman from Arkansas. Upon reading the report of the calamity in Ford's theater and the loss of lives of many pension clerks, he threw aside the paper, exclaiming: "It's too bad. I wouldn't have cared if it had been the pensioners in place of those poor clerks." This is but an honest expression of the sentiment that the average Democratic Congressman entertains for the veteran Union soldier.

THE women of Indianapolis have organized a sanitarv association. They proposed to have the town renovated and cleaned from garret to cellar and from back alley to front Btreet. In this step they have Bet a good example for their sisters in Crawfordsville. Such an organization is one of the crying needs of the hour. The first step should be a movement looking toward a complete system of sewerage.

THERE seems to be an impression in the Democratic party at present that the tariff is not as black as it has been painted. The Democratic batteries have been turned on the pensions.

HUNTINGTON Herald:—Nero fiddled while Rome was burning. Cleveland utters platitudes while merchants fail banks liquidate and rolling mills close down.

THE Presbyterian church, judged by the standard set up by the late General Assembly, seems to be full of heretics. It was only by a flank movement that the anti-Briggs men in the New York Presbytery yesterday succeeded in having the decision of ^the General Assembly recorded on the minutes of the Presbytery. And Rev. T. C. Hall, of Chicago, son of the distinguished Dr. John Hall, of New York, has practically challenged a heresy trial. In making his report to the Chicago Presbytery as a Commissioner to the General Assembly, he said: "I do not believe that Moses wrote the Pentateuch, nor that Isaiah wrote the two books. Our church has taken a position narrower than that of any in the worl d. I do not believe it was legal or constitutional. I tnke the same jDosition practically as that taken by Dr. Briggs." If a vote were taken in Center Presbyterian church of this city it would reveal the fact that nine teen-twentieths of the membership are in accord with the views of the distinguished divine whom the Assembly cast out as a heretic. The so-called heretics are not confined to the Presbyterian church. Every orthodox church in the land is permeated. The pews can think as well as the pulpit.

Ex-GOVERNOR CHASE went up to Kokomo on Monday and gave bond for hie appearance at court on a grand jury indictment growing out of his connection with the Greentown bank. His bond it is said will represent $1,000,000,and had he accepted all that offered their names it would have been eood for several milmillions. This only goes to show that the ex Governor has an innumerable host of friends who firmly believe in his innocence or that he had the remotest idea of any wrong doing. Mr. Chase acts and talks like an innocent man and we believe will be able to pass through the ordeal with flying colors.

THE soil of Indiana has again been polluted and disgraced by a bloody and brutal prize fight which occurred at Roby, a place of unsavory reputation* last night. What makes the affair the more humiliating is the fact that it was carried into execution under the sanction of a law enacted by the late Demo ctatic Legislature and approved by a Democratic Governor, this same Governor who but a few days ago posed on his virtue and dramatically announced thut he would co-operate with the Sheriff of Lake county and prevent the outrage from being committed.

N. B. ASHBY, formerly of this county, but now of Iowa, has been appointed to a consulship in Ireland by President Cleveland. Originally he was a Republican but became a lecturer and organizer for the National Farmers' Alliance and has now drifted into the Democratic party. A mess of pottage is wonderfully soothing to a troubled mind.

THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette calls the attention of college graduates to the fact that their degree entitled them only to enter the battle of life. It grants no quarter. Jump in, boys, and hustle. In that way alone will you ever open the oyster that has been growing all these years for you, and for you alone.

Two NEGROES were found guilty of murder at Indianapolis Saturday and condemned to death. It is a peculiar incident that these are the first murder ers condemned to death in Indiana since the law requiring all executions to ake place in the penitentiary was passed four years ago.

THE Republicans in Congress will cheerfully do all they can to assist Cleveland in his fight for honest money, but he must remember that their power is limited, and that sucoese depends upon his abilty to convince Democrats that they ought to repudiate the Chicago platform.

ST. LOUIS Globe Democrat:—When the people begin to pay an income tax and a duty on tea, coffee and sugar th?y will begin to realize what an expensive blunder was made in the last election.

The reader of this paper will he pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the consjitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The propri etors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address,

Too Late.

Perhaps Tennyson has written nothing which appeals to the hearts of all who read his poems more than the lyric of "Too Late." Th burden of the sad refraiil comes home with telling torcetothe hearts of those who have lost friends by that dread disease—consumption They realize, "too late," the result of neglect. They feel that the dear one might have been saved if they had heeded the warning of the hacking cough, the pallid cheek, and weakening system. They feel this all the more keenly because they see others beine rescued from the grasp of the destroyer, and they think what is saving others might have saved their loved one. When the first signal of danger is seen, take steps to avert the catastrophe. Be wise in time. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will drive away consumption. Do not wait until too late before putting its wonderful efficacy to the test. It succeeds where other remedies fail,

Secures to I S a painless, perfect development and thus prevents life-long weakness.
