Indiana, asseoond-olass matter.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 4. 1895.

OUR authority states that the loss in Florida from the recent blizzard will "be not less than $10,000,000. What is Florida's misfortune will be California's fortune.

THE pay roll of the University of Michigan foots up 8225,843 for the past year. Are the people of Indiana ready to keep in repair such a costly piece of furniture? This is what the -removal of the State University means.

THE St. Louis Olobe-Democrat suggests that the Democratic platform in 1896 might run somewhat in this fashion: "We pledge ourselves not to duplicate the last Administration, and to look after the welfare of the country in an entirely different way. We denounce the Republican party for being stuck up over its luck in running the country, and for bequeathing to the grand and historic Democracy a state of affairs leading to our confusion and total incapacity."

DUN'S Review winds up the year with a comparison of the number of men employed, the number of hours of work afforded to each man, and the amount of wages in a given number of workshops and factories during the years 1892, 1893, and 1894. At the present time about 300,000 more hands are employed than in 1893, but about 565,000 less than in 1892, and the amount of wages distributed during 1894 was greater by $162,500,000 than in 1893, but less by over $500,000,000 than in 1892, and the output of labor is of less value in 1894 by $1,369,000,000 than in 1892, though it is greater by $1,254,000,000 than in 1893.

THE newspapers generally are opposed to "Indianola" as the name for the new territory to be served out of the Indian country as proposed in a bill presented by Senator Berry, of Arkansas. -The Chicago Journal says this name means nothing whatever. It is intended no doubt to perpetuate the title popularly given to the American aborigine, but that title is preserved in "Indiana," a thousand times better than "Indianola." "Indianola" is not English, it is not Indian. It is a miserable hybrid, and it has no better excuse for being than Indianapothy or Indianapolis might have. The Journal suggests Cherokee -as an appropriate name for the new territory, easy to pronounce, easy to write and one that does not conflict with names of other states.

APBOPOS of the current discussion of anti-toxine, the alleged diphtheria remedy, and its merits, the editor of the Review of Reviews, in "Progress of the World," calls attention to the decline of such old-fashioned maladies as small-pox and typhoid fever and the increased efforts of modern sanitary science to grapple with children's dis eases, especially diphtheria and scarlet fever. The Review also offers a few suggestions concerning the duty of so ciety in relation to the condition of city slums, and the housing of the poor. To show that the situation in New York is not quite as bad as it has been represented, the editor cites the suggestive fact that the mortality rate for New York tenement houses is lower than that for the slum districts of European cities. There is ground for en couragement in this.

WHILE the Indianapolis papers of all politics and no politics are devoting a great deal of valuable space to the different lobbies that infest each Legislature it might be well for them to give some attention to the insurance lobby. It is composed of well-paid attorneys who hang about the halls of the State House from the beginning to the close of each session, whose business it is to see that no legislation gets through that will in any way benefit the peo•ple at the expense of the insurance trust. Insurance companies like other bloated corporations, imagine that

Legislatures are created solely for their benefit, and that the people have no rights that should be respected The insurance companies are all in a big trust,and with the millions that the trust, sometimes called a "board," has at its command, it is able to direct all legislation. Itisnotdone through the venality of the legislators, but through their unsuspecting natures. The man for the hour is a Senator or Representative who has the ability and the intrepid courage and honesty to withstand the blandishments of this cutthroat organization and push some kind of legislation through that will lessen its grasp on the pockets of the people.

TELEPHONE TALK.

Regarding the effect of the recent telephone patent decision in the United States Circuit Court at Boston, it has been somewhat difficult to secure opinions from competent sources. The general interest in the question is, however, active, and such a review of the situation as that given in an article in last week's issue of the Electrical World wil be widely welcomed. Recalling the fact that the fundamental patent granted to Bell expired last year, and that owing to the expiration of other patents the Blake transmitter in its essential details is at present public property, that the same is true with regard to transmitters using finely divided carbons, and that the fundamental patent for an induction coil for telephone purposes will expire during the present month, the Electrical World says: "It will be seen that at present all forms of telephone receivers and transmitters are free, and that on January 15 the valuable patent on the use of the induction coil with the transmitter will expire. As a consequence, private lines may be installed and operated under the most advantageous circumstances. The situation as to large exchange stations, however, is still much involved, and, owing to the multiplicity of patents concerned and the scant knowledge on the subject of the requirements of exchanges outside of the Bell Company's, it will be some time before it can be cleared up. It now seems that there would be much difficulty in economically operating any exchange of considerable size without the £aid of switch board and other devices covered by Bell patents. When, however, the difficulties to be overcome are clearly defined and understood, the matter will come within the province of the inventor, and the conditions would have to be singular indeed if some method of meeting them could aot be eventually devised."

Dogs are killing and injuring the sheep of this vicinity to a great extent. We would like for some one to tell where the profit is in keeping a dog when hydrophobia is so prevalent, and killing sheep the most profitable and innocent of domestic animals. It does seem curious that people in this intelligent country can't see that said damage is a tax on everyone.

PASSING 1 REVIEW.

Leading- Events of the Dead Year in the Western Hemisphere.

HISTORY MADE IN UNITED STATES.

Principal Legislative Action—The Financial Situation Resume of Labor Troubles—South American Alfairs— China and Japan.

The year 1894 was memorable for many things In America. The legislative history of the United states presents some points of interest. Congress reoonvened January 8 The Wilson tariff bill, which was reported to the house December 19, 1893, with the Income tax amendment, was passed February 1, 1894. After reference to the senate committee It was reported back with amendments March 21. It passed the senate July 3 and the conferrees were appointed on the same day. The house acoepted the senate amendments August 18. It became a law August 27 without the president's signature. The bill repealing the federal election law passed the senate February 7 and the Behrlng sea bill April 5. On the 17th of April the house passed the quorum-counting rule. The bill to repeal the 10-per-celK tax on state banks was defeated In the house June fl. The antl-optlon bill passed the house June 22. The bill to admit New Mexloo in the union was passed by the house June 28, and that admitting Utah July 10. On the next day the land forfeiture bill was passed by the house. The Bailey bankruptcy bill passed the house July 18. On the 21st the house passed a resolution providing for the election of senators by direct vote. A bill providing for the Inspection of Immigrants and punishment of anarohlsts was passed by the senate August 6. The remaining act of legislation was the passage of the railroad pooling bill by the house December 11.

Financ4al.

The money problem was the cause of much anxiety in business und financial circles. The continued outflow of gold rendered it necessary In February to sell bonds for $50,000,000, and another issue for the same amount had to be made In November. These were 5 per cent, bonds, and the prices realized for them were about equal to an allowance of 8 per cent, for the use of money by the government. Sliver has declined further, tending to weakness all through the year except during the short time that a silver loan to China was under discussion. Last month it sold in London at a price equivalent to 60 cents per fine ounoe, giving 48.4 cents as the value of the pure silver In the United States dollar, and a ratio of about 34V£ to I. Four weeks ago Secretary Carlisle submitted a new currency scheme, which was Indorsed by the president in his message, but met with such violent opposition that the house committee on currency and banking has agreed on a substitute which is understood to be acceptable to Secretary Carlisle and will be introduced in the house at an early day. It provides that banks may Issue currenoy to 75 per cent, of their real capital on deposit of 30 per cent, of the amount in legal tenders, currency, certificates, etc., and paying tax to a redemption fund of 6 per cent. It proposes to allow state banks to issue currenoy of any denomination, while national banks are to be limited to notes of not less than $10 each, the 10 per cent, tax to be nominally retained tor state banks which wlBh to Issue circulation not protected by the conditions named.

Appointments.

A few executive appointments have been made, some of which attracted widespread Interest January 16 W. B. Hornblower was nominated to the supreme benoh, but was rejected by the senate after a memorable contest by Senator Hill. January 22 the name of Wheeler H. Peckham was sent to the senate and It, too, was rejected by the same Influences. February 19 the name of Senator Edward D. White, of Louisiana, was sent In and the long fight was ended by his confirmation.

The president oalled for the resignation ol the Utah commission April U, and residents ol the new state were appointed in their places. The only treaties of the year are one with China, making some oonoesslons, and one with Japan, recognizing her as a civilized and Independent nation.

Hawaii.

The year has been marked also by the closo of the Hawaiian controversy. At the beginning of the year the United States minister was still negotiating with Queen Lllliuokalani. The provisional government was asked to restore her authority, but refused. Thereupon Mr. Willis was notified that the whole matter was left with congress. Resolutions passed the house declaring against Interference in Hawaiian affairs, and a similar policy was adopted by the senate. Meanwhile the provisional government kej)t steadily on with Its work of organization. A constitution was promulgated and adopted In June and on the Fourth of July the republic was proclaimed, with S. B. Dole as the first president. On the 7th of August the government was recognized by the United States.

The Great Strike.

The memorable event of the year has been the disturbance of industrial conditions by mob violence growing indlr«ctly out of the strike at Pullman. It was heralded by marches of commonweal armies to Washington, like those of Coxey's and Randall's. In the same month there were some strikes—a lockout at Chicago called by the Central Building league, a miners' strike attended by considerable vioienoe, and a strike on the Oreat Northern railroad which was soon settled by arbitration. The great strike at Pullman In June was followed by a boycott of Pullman cars ordered by the American railway union. The railroad strike begun upon the Illinois Central road, rapidly spread, and the Knights of Labor joined in sympathy. The olalm was made that the strikers were Interfering with the movement of the mails and passenger traffic, and that the Chicago and elsewhere were destroying property. The federal courts issued injunctions. As little heed was paid to them, however, the state militia and federal troops were called out. The trades unions of Chicago attempted to strike, but the strike was a comparative failure. As violence increased and millions of property were destroyed the President issued his proclamation of warning to the rioters, and by the liberal use of troops they were finally dispersed, with slight loss of life, property was protected, and the roads were again put in regular running order. Both houses of congress sustained the president in his action.

July 10 Debs and other loaders of the American Railway union were indicted and a week later they were also cited to appear for con tempt of court. August 5 the railroad strike was declared off and September 5 the f-trike at Pullman. Meanwhile the president appointed Carroll D. Wright, John D. Kernan and N. D. Worthlngton a commission to investigate the whole question of labor disturbances, and that commission has made Its report. Debs and his associates have been found guilty of contempt of court and scntenced to imprisonment in jail. The sentence was subsequently suspended for an opportunity to test the jurisdiction of the court.

Klectlons.

At the fall elections the democratic majority in the house was replaced by a republican majority of 134, the next house standing—repub licans. 245 democrats, 105 populists, 6.

Municipal Reform.

The wave of municipal reform which has swept over the country originated in New York, where the general disgust with Tam many corruption was stirred up to furious indignation by the disclosures of the Lexow investigation. The feeling was strong enough at election time to secure the crushing defeat of Tammany, from Mr. Hill, the candidate for governor, to the lowest man on the ticket.

China and Japan.

In Asia the war between Japan and China has occupied the attention of the whole world. It broke out in June as the outcome of a dispute between the two powers as to the rights of suzerainty in Corea. Both landed troops in Corea, but the Chinese were driven

out speedily. The war was transferred to Chinese soil, and by a rapid succession of victories on land and sea the Chinese power has been broken and the empire now lies at the mercy of Japan. Negotiations for peace are pending, and Japan has reoelved the congratulations of the world for the skill and valor with which it has overcome its huge enemy.

Central and South America. Central Amcrloa as usual has been the theater of almost endless revolutions. The effort to form a union between Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras. San Salvador and Costa Rica, from which so much was hoped, has tailed.

In South America Brazil has been the center of interest. The rebellion there has been squelched, except in some of the outlying provinces. The chiefs of the rebellion are fugitives, and the new j)resident. Moraes, has inaugurated what appears to be a firm and stable government.

AFTER BYRNES.

Dr. Parkhurst Says the Lpiow Committee Shielded Illin. NEW YORK, Jan 1.—In his statement following the adjournment of the Lexow investigating committee, made public Monday night, Dr. Parkhurst, of the Society for the Prevention of Crime, makes a bitter attack on Superintendent Byrnes and the whole committee for remissness of duty. He charges the committee with systematically shielding Byrnes, when it should have treated him with the same rigor and impartiality with which it passed upon the cases of Inspectors Williams and McLaughlin. It claims that the whole movement was a mere anti-Tammany movement, and that Byrnes put the committee under obligations by his conduct at the recent election.

The statement says that these obligations were only in the line of the •duty of Byrnes and only grew out of such conduct as he could and should have employed in former elections. The statement charges the committee of a failure to perform its whole duty, this failure being signalized and emphasized as soon as Byrnes was reached in the investigation. It also says, in unmistakable language, that the society is not done with Byrnes and the police force by any means.:

Having thus scored the superintendent and committee, the statement denominated the whole thing little short of a farce, because the delving into the mire was stopped just at the time that the principle offender came under the guns. It commends the good work accomplished, but deplores the failure to finish it.

SET FREE.

Gov. Flower Pardons a Life Convict After Servlne Thirty-Four Years. PLATTSBURG, N. Y., Jan. 1.—Daniel Finley, the oldest convict in Clinton prison, if not in the state, as well in point of years as in service, on Monday, through the clemency of Gov. Flower, ceased to be an inmate of that institution, his life sentence having been commuted after he has served thirty-four years. Finley was convicted of murder in the second degree in New York in 1860. His crime consisted in pushing his wife out of the window of the tenement house in which they were living, the fall killing her. Since his conviction he has spent nearly the entire time of his imprisonment in Clinton prison. Finley was comparatively an old man when he arrived at the prison, but is now about 90 years of age.

MURDER IN ALABAMA.

A

Young: Man Returns Bullets for Knowballs—A Boy Killed. BIRMIKGHAM Ala., Jan. 1.—A crowd of boys were snowballing in Cherokee county, near Center, Sunday night, when Fred Long and a young woman named Aline Cooper passed, and the boys began pelting them with snowballs. Long told the youngsters to stop, but they kept it up. He re peated his demand and they kept on. He pulled a gun and fired into the crowd. The first bullet struck William Winton, aged 14, and killed him almost instantly, while the second wounded Eddy Gray, aged 13. When Long Baw what he had done he told his sweetheart good-by and has not been seen since.

HELD FOR MURDER.

Serious Charge Against a 14-Year-Old Boy In North Dakota. DICKINSON, N. D., Jan. 1.—At the coroner's inquest held over the body

Ed. Severance, it was found that he came to his death by a riilo shot. The body was lying in a canal down under a hill, about 200 feet above the ranch house.

A Failure.

FRKMONT, Neb., Jan. 1.—The firm of Seeley, Son & Co., contractors and elevator builders, has failed and has given chattel mortgages aggregating about §33,000 to secure their creditors.

The firm has built dozens of elevators in Nebraska, Texas, Indiana and several other states, beside other extensive buildings in Omaha, Fremont, Chicago and other cities.
