FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1895

ADVICES from Indianpolis are to the effect that Senator Seller looks lonely.

NUMKBOUS rumors indicate that exSenator Ingalls is taking advantage of Mrs. Lease's absence from Kansas.

IF the Monon people build that new station up on Main street it will spoil many rare sensations for the newspapers.

THE last explanation which naturally comes to mind in the affair is that Hill ate that dinner with Cleveland because he was hungry.

THE primary interest in McClurc's Magazine for January is Beatrice Harradtn's accourt pf her method of writ"Ships that pass in the night."

THE present tariff law has diminished our foreign trade in a larger degree than any other law that was ever passed by an American Congress.

INDIANAPOLIS Journal: In the contests for the few places which the Legislature has at its disposal may high-minded and clean-handed men win.

GEN. BUCKNER, who wants to be Senator from Kentucky, is better known as the man who obeyed Grant's demand for "unconditional surrender" at Fort Donnelson.

THE one thing in Gov. Waite's message of 15,000 words that-will not be disputed is the casual observation that the Cleveland administration "lies ^crushed and bleeding."

THE students have been warned against hilarity on tne 22nd of February. There are those who enjoy this sport and its suppression will annoy more people than the student body.

SINCE the Schlemmer affair, a good many worthy citizens are -urging that a special policeman be delegated to Monon station. LetJ us first have a thorough investigation- of«this business.

THE Democrats have even less hope of passing the substitute currency bill than they had of putting the defunct arlisle message through. There will no financial Legislation in this Congress.

MORE than 20,000 prisoners will be benefited by the Czar's decree of amnesty, and one thing suggested by this fact is that the number of people held in Russian prisons has* not been exaggerated.

AN era of good feeling prevails among the Democratic leaders concerning the Presidential {nomination of /1896. All but one are bound to escape, and he can pose as a martyr when draws the black bean.

A RECENT remark credited to ex-Sen-ator Piatt, of New York, is: "If I am a boss, I am an easy one to get along with." It has been suspected before that getting along without a boss is what he objects to.

WHEN the Democrats were out of power and wanted to get in they made a vicious attack on the {surplus in the treasury. Now that they tare in they have attacked a deficiency. They have leariied that the former is more easy to handle than the latter.

CLEVELAND has issued an order extending the civil service regulations to all superintendents of postal stations but he carefully refrains from applying such a policy to the officers who are to be appointed for the collection of tha income tax.

Thk Hawaiian question is no longer one ef burning interest, but it is well enough, nevertheless, to keep the country reminded of the fact that the action of the Cleveland Administration in the matter was indefatigably and discreditably un-American.

Scribner's specialty for January is Robert Grant's series of papers on"The Art of Living." The first paper is interesting. It deals with "incomes." Mr. Grant tells us how a man may live on an income of two thousand two hundred dollars a year. Mr. Grant's

friend saw two boys through, educated two daughters, gave one a trousseau and a coming out party and paid his debts. To keep a-butler and live in the modern way "up to date" requires at least four times that sum, according to Mr. Grant, and we are left with the impression that real comfort cannot be had for any sum that the income tax canaottouch.

CAN'T AVOID A RECORD.

A few weeks ago the Indianapolis Journal advised the Legislature to avoid any legislation on the liquor question and let the present law alone. A few days ago the saloon keepers of Indianapolis resolved not to ask for more favors at the hands of the Legislature but to use all their money and influence toward keeping the present statute on the books. It is painful to see the leading Republican organ of Indiana and the saloon men of the capital in such harmonious accord in this year of reform. Different motives make both wish for the same thing. The saloon men don't want the law changed because it is the one which their State -organization drew up and had passed twenty years ago. It just suits them. The Journal wants the law left alone because ,it thinks the Republican party can thus avoid a temperance issue. In this it is sadly mistaken. The Republican majority can no more avoid a record on the subject'of liquor than it can avoid assembling in the State House. By leaving the law unchanged the Republicans will endorse it and thus line up with the Democrats who passed it and Liquor League which wants it to continue. Does anybody call that good politics? Will that gain any votes for the Republican ticket two years hence? Nine-tenths of the saloon element votes the Democratic ticket and will continue to do so, however subservient to their interests Republican leaders may be. Let the Republican Legislature pass a law which will place Indiana alongside other States on the temperance question and it will be sustained by the people by a large majority.

THE LIQUOR LAW.

The present liquor law of Indiana was drawn up by the attorney of the Liquor League and passed by a Democratic Legislature twenty years ago without a single change. It cannot be enforced and the men who framed it and passed it knew that it could not be enforced. It was made for the express purpose of allowing saloon keepers to evade it. The people are thoroughly tired of it and expect the present Legislature to pass a new law more in keeping with modern civilization. There is hardly a State in the Union with such a lax liquor law as that of Indiana.

THE Century for February is rich in the Napoleana. The rage for everything concerning Bonaparte has produced a number of inadequate attempts to please the popular taste. The Century has been fortunate enough to secure the best series of papers on this remarkable genius. There is one word to which we call the attention of the admirable proof-reader of the Century. It occurs in the Napoleon paper—pronuncimiento is the word, not pronuncimento. Castagne makes a very pathetic illustration to Mr. Crawford's "Casa Braccio," and "A Lady of New York" is a pretty story. Mrs. Burton Harrison shows us an English life from the point of view of an American who loves English luxury, and a valuable editorial is that on the new remedy for diphtheria. The Century for January leads all the rest.

THE complete novel this month in Llppencott'8 is by Capt. Charles Mcllvaine and comes under the title of "The Waifs of the Fighting Rocks." It is a story of mountaineer life in West Virginia and deals with a small sprinkling of comedy and a huge deluge of tragedy. The conversation is well woven together, the descriptive work is good and the dialect is not at all objectionable. Other contributors to UppencotVs are Edgar Fawett, Gilbert Parker and Calvin Dill Wilson. Edith Duff tells of the crowning of Napoleon and Josephine.

TWENTY citizens in the village of Stamford, in the Catskill Mountains,N. Y., subscribed $50 each, and with the 81,000 thus obtained have provided themselves with a telephone system, a storekeeper having charge of the central exchange. The cost to each subscriber will be 88 a year. That the village is no ordinary place may be inferred from the fact that in had previously secured a sewerage system, electric lights, pure water and an improvement society.

MR. S. N. D. NORTH, the secretary of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, annually figures, as nearly as possible, the wool production of the country, and his conclusions are accepted as very near near the absolute figure. He puts the wool clip of 1894 at 140,000,000 pounds, which is 10,800,000 pounds less than the clip of 1893. This shows that the low price of wool^has diminished the number of sheep—they being sold for mutton, because unprofitable to keep.

THE North American Review lays the great stress on Mark Twain's "What Paul Bourget Thinks of Us." We have ceased to care very much what foreigners think of us but Mark gives us a readable article. The Governor of Kansas "Problems Before the Western Farmer" is more to the point.

JOHN BURNS has sailed for England, leaving behind him a well-defined opinion that he knows less about the duties of a guest than any other foreigner who has visited this sountry in many years.
