A Journal cm respondent asserts that a better location for a jail could have been obtained tor halt the money. Had the correspondent indieat d the location and named the price, the pe ;- ple would be better able to judge whether it was an ‘ outrageous and uncalled for expenditure of the peoples’ monev" Several who have taken sides with the correspondent, as to the price, when asked where they could find property is as good a location for the same money, could not locate it and neither can the Journal correspondent. The colored circus will wind up Sunday. The fore part of the week was very unfavorable for their business. They left here last year with a strong oder of crookedness that required long explanations to make things appear straight. And this year they are not free from criticism. It was remarked on our streets Monday morning that “nine out of ten of the men who were in attendance Sunday night had a “pocket pistol of “spirits ’ not spiritual from an orthodox stand-point. This is undoubtedly an exaggeration. The class of persons who attend may be inferred, however, from the fact t’ at in addition to the regular religious exercises, a side show was on the camp ground, with beer and kindred spirits for sale as a necessary accompaniment. Those connected with it i.ad free passes from the powers that run the institution, showing the intimate relation between the two. By whose solicitation they came is unknown to us. Be that as it may, they have probably outlived their usefu’ less, and the sooner they fold their tents and close out their business the better it will be for all concerned. The Democrat has no prejudice againat the negroes. But religiously inc 1 ined people arewarned of the surroundings that must b known to those having the meeting ineharge, that they may exercise their own pleasure about attending with a full knowledge of the facts. Week before last the Journal imposed upon itself a task in the name of duty co its reader, proposing to suppress houses of ill fame. In fulfillment of this progtamme it followed up last week with some details of the business, in which parents, wives and mothers were made to appear so in’erested, that if all the facts in their possession were known, they would forthwith ‘annihilate the whole institution. This method may and it may not be the best ’.ray to bring about the result desired. The Democrat is willing to admit that it is popular to pitch into women engaged in keeping a house of prostitution. But to make the bombardment effective, though it might not be popular, would be to give the male patrons of these institutions the same sauce as is given the goose. The intimate knowl edge of the business in this community, professed by the Journal in its different articles, shows that in this tight

■no quarters will be shown the women, and the woods arc to be shelled that the men may cscipe. If in earnest in suppressing this vice, the most effectual remedy that could be employed would be to expose the men. The verdict ofwomen is that commonly accpted; those that have fallen are henceforth outcasts. Men who associate with them are simply sowing -wild oats and are taken back into society without any system of probation, anti if young men, in the estimation of some, make better husbands for having been •‘rakes” in their younger d a vs. Whether the male patrons, married or single men, they are no better than the women with whom they associate. But we are willing to concede a little to popular sentiment, that we may illusrate more so rcibly the ridiculous position it places society, and show how unjust woman can be to woman. The line must be drawn somewhere, however, and for present purposes it will be drawn at ten per cent. If women are pointed out who keep these places so ought the men to be who patronize them. If the women are steeped in infamy, eo are the men, ten per cent. off. If it is a den of infamy, so are the men who patronize it, ten off. If the women are notoriously vile and dissolute, so are their male patrons, ten off. If this business is so disgraceful and infamous that it should bo ouppreased by a mob, why not volunteer that information to the pub’ie prosecutor? Facts sufficient to justify a mob in tearing down a house and heaping indignities upon its frail inmates, embodied in an affidavit, would effect a legal suppression of the business. If the assertions of the Journal be one-half true, it must be in poasession of facts sufficient to maintain a hundred actions if so many be deemed necessary or are required to suppress the business. And claiming to be a friend virtue, and interested in the suppression of vice, it it takes all summer, it cannot withhold the information and maintain its consistency and the exalted convictions of duty it has expressed. The bombast of the closing paragraph would be amusing if it was not absurd The idea that what the Jour‘/iaz“sai’d of this house of prostitution was in peril of life and limb from bullet and cowhide, and that the fighting editor was in to all comers, is ridiculous in the extreme. Posing before a half dozen prostitutes as willing to accept martyrdom, ra’her thin keep silet as io his convictions of journalistic duty, is too preposterous for contempt. So cheap a martyr would leave by the back door on a double quick, if "gog-gle-eye’ with an ancient fusee, innocent of powder, ball, lock, stock and barrel, would knock ever so timidly at the front. He would piove Falstaff duplicated. Analyze him for martyr’s blood ana not enough would be found to spot an immaculate' shirt front.— The boasting was evidently made with quaking knees, that were shaking even as the paragraph was written, while the ear was on the alert to catch the first hostile sound that might agitate the air, though none wasiu the air, and none but the fighting editor dreamed of any. , , . The Democrat has no desm* screen be or she in this matter, and is I willing to lend a helping hand in eve- ■ rv rightful endeavor beneficial to com- ' munity. But we do claim to have i enough of that sense of justice and fair play in our nature to see that even the weak and vile have a fair showing, and whoever proposes to hide the m- ! famv of the one side that th other may appear the blacker, will not find aid and comfort in these columns, simply ' because it is popular.

The Editors. k before last the Northern Indiana Editorial Association convened in Fort M ayne. The editor was present only ti e last day, consequently cannot report its business proceedings. The last day was a trip around Ft. Wayne iu a special train, chaperoned by a party of its substantial men. The Pittsburg yard with its twenty odd miles of track, was first visited. Trains are here made up and dispatched over the line. Hard by they were grading a large tract of ground for the new Pittsburg shops, a big job within itself. If they had built their road through Decatur, all this trouble might have been avoided. The foresight of railrailroads is no better than that of the average man, consequently mistakes are unavoidable. Returning, our party visited the immense shops of J. H. Bass. One hundred and fifty tons of iron are consumed ii. their business of a day. The immense amount of coal and coke required to fuse this mass is wonderful. Car wheels and machinery are their principal manufactures. The wagon shops of N. G. Olds & Co. wcr next in order. The company has a capacity of seventy wagons per day, though at the time of our visit not running to their full capacity. The work is all done by machinery, with special machines for each part, thus economizing labor, and doing the work in a superior manner. They were finishing some work for the Louisville Exposition, without paint, to show how the iron was wrought and the native grain of the wood. Our party thence went through the Pittsburg shops. In these shops they turn out hand, freight and passenger cars, and the locomotives to run them, from the small yard locomotive to the great ninety-six ton “Moguls.” Here were great forges with ponderous trip hammers, forging great shafts. Hard by were whirling lathes, turning locomotive drive wheels into shape, while all around were other lathes turning off ribbons of iron, plowing deep grooves or planing immense slabs of iron, apparently with the same ease as the potter would mould and shape a piece of clay. The next stopping place was the Gauso Mower Works, a new machine without a pitman, a novel device to run he cutter bar at any angle and do work. Our stay was so brief that it was impossible to get a complete idea of V < machine, which gives promise of ad .mg to the fame of the “Summit City. Not the least interesting sight among these great hives of human industry is the physical energy of this industrial army, with brawn and muscle, that would command respect in a twenty-four foot ring under the code Queensbury, but here legitimate employed in bread winning. If the gods of mythology could again return to earth, it might prove a pleasant fiction to future ages, though a deserved tribute to the highest type of physical manhood >or them to crown these Ti tans with royal patents of nobility, America- true noblemen. The train then transferred the editorial party to the north side, visiting the water works, which furnish good pure water to every part of the city. Then our way led a field to the Centliver brewery. A nice lunch with lager was served, to appetites that time and exercise had sharpened, so that it was appreciated in the highest degree. The vaults were then visited, where the lager is put through an ice-cold sweat of six to nine months and ripened for use. Immense stores of it were in sight to refesh those who came after. Returning from Centliver's some of the party developed into amateur musicians of no mean ability. Their musical cadences mingling with the noise of the rattling train, making a not unpleasant harmony. Had our party taken lager before going through the shops, some of them would doubtless have attempted to build a locomotive and train, perhaps two. With a proper guage of lager, they might have attempted the never-yet accomplished feat of driving two trains past each Oth'T upon a single track. Those who look sharp will be able to see why corporations enforce prohibition as to their employes. It is a power when its practice wins bread, and its true enforcement lies hereabout, and not in the harrangues of temperance fanatics. Later a portion of our party called at old Ft rt Wayne to see the General. On sending up our cards his man Friday said he was “not at home.’ ExMayor Randall thought he might be cut as was his custom to send a few more bad Indians to the “happy hunting ground,” or looking at the backs of British red coats, a practice of his younger days not forgotten. It was our desire to hunt an Indian or two, but could not take kindly to the old flint locks primitive Fort Wayner's used for that purpose, besides learning that Indians might be concealed under some of the dried leaves scattered around and sometimes shoot back with tomahawk and scalping knife, very awkward weapons by the way, had a very restraining effect* upon our ardor in this directi on. The ex-Mayor located the old works, described them and the various encounters with the red men in this vicinity. On leaving the site of the old for;, immagination called up the grim latisiaeiion of the old warrior as he bos* d things about here in years agone tot'<■ nfiuite disguet ol British ant Indians. A brief business meeting was held at Library Hall upon our return, but we were pres nt only at its ’losing In the evening the fire alarm was sounded, calling out the fire department. The promptness with which they responded to the call and turned on water ; poke volumes in favor of the drill and dis' ipline of the firemen. The banquet at the Mayor House was all that fancy painted. In addition to the editors there was a considerable e’ement of the “fair women and L„. oi rori nayne. lhe nartv did ample justice to the enteitainment cf '.'line Host of the Jfayer House. The after dinuer speeches of Robinson, Bell, Keator, Stoll and Lowry were among the most enjoyable features of the occasion, which would afford pleasure to write ahou' to the extent of a column, but space forbids. Th* editors and citizens of Fort Wayne who entertained the editorial party eo royally deserve more than they received of thanks for courtesies.

An |B,ooo Blaze. The Stark Itariel Slave MurU of P. <’ Clever A To. Burned. Between eight and nine o'clock Thursday morning, the Slack Barrel, Stave and Heading Works of P. C. ‘ Clever & Co. burned. The loss in buildings, machinery and stock will < about equal the insurance* The loss in stock Mr. Clever estimates i at $3,000; dry kiln, $4,000, besides damage to boiler, engine, machinery and shafting. They were insured for $10,500, as follows: SI,OOO, Indiana, ' Indianapolis; $4,500, Western, Toronto; $1,500, Phoenix, Brooklyn; sl, 501) in the New Orleans Fire, and SSOO, Pennsylvania Fire. This was on i building, machinery, engine and boiler. And $1,500 on stock in the sheda, in the Orient, Hartford. The alarm was given by men working for L. D. Adams across the railroad. When first discovered a considerable volume of smoke was seen issuing from the southeast corner of the dry kiln, which a ' moment later burst out at the south ' side and soon spaead rapidly over the entire building. i There was a vigorous and successful fight to save the stock in the shed adjacant, which at one time was all ablaze, but by a determined effort was saved. Andrew Barkly was injured in carrying out stock so that he had to be 1 carried home. Alex Bell lost his hat, coat and shoes. The citizens, as usual, distinguished themselves generally in their efforts to assist in saving stock and machinery. The fire is a serious loss to the energetic young proprietors and to the community as well, furnishing as it did a considerable number of men with employment. Personals.

LINES IN MEJIORU.H, The following lines were written on the death of holla Stoops who was drowned on Monday, June 19th, 1883, while bathing in the St. Marys river, and were read during the memorial services held on the , following Sabbath, by the Presbyterian Sabbath School of Decatur, Indiana, es which he was a pupil, nd whose teacher, , alluded to in one of the verses, was Mrs. Dr. W. W. M Milieu. What mean this vacant seat— These tokens of sad grief?— Has death at length seen meet To enter, like a thief, This vestibule of heav'n, And many hearts here riv’n? Alas ! ’tie even so— Death s shaft has taken one Whom all of us did know— A mother s only sou— Her hope and solace in This wilderness of sin. U nheralded—unseen— This enemy of all, With cold and frightful mein, Gave Rolla Stoops a call, And took him hence, alas I Forever from his class. It’s the first time, tis said, That death his shown his band For more than a decade, Within this little band Who weekly m*et to read God’s Word, and warnings heed. But he who not a sparrow Permits to fall unseen, Did overrule the arrow By which our friend has been Cut off in youthful bloom, And veiled within the tomb. In knowing this, look up, Ye members of his class, And calmly drink the cup, Convinc'd that heaven has Giv’n Rolla a new birth, And joy unknown to.earth. He can't comeback to you, As David said of one Hid from his anxious view, And up to heaven gone; But when your eyes grow dim In death, you'll go to him His teacher, Mrs. Mac, In retrospective hour, When calmly looking b.ick, Will ask of Jesus pow'r To teach so as to win Her charge from ways of siu May other teachers of This school, and other schools, Be more impress'd with love For never dying souls, And ask that grace be giv'n To lead them nil to heav'n.
