Yes, when we entered Democratic journalism in Indiana, March, 1859, this was then the bloody 9th, and Colfax had the congressional cinch on it. It covered a much larger area. With the present it also comprised the counties of St. Joseph, Clinton, Benton, LaPorte, Starke and Miami. Oi the editorial fraternity, ive believe of any party, of those eventful years, we are the sole representatAve to-day. As then, ai d all through the intervening years, we stood and stand for Democratic measures and men. We were the first in the state to place at the masthead the i.ame of Stephen A. Douglas as fiist choice for President in 1860. True to the Democratic party, and through the party to the country, we 1 ave opposed the Republican party and its ismatic attachments and coma binations from its organization to the present. The Democratic party, in our judgment, has never done anything of which we need feel ashamed.

An effort is being made to secure funds to provide a m mument to mark the last resting place of that superb soldier, Gen. Winfield S. Hancock. It is said that his grave at NorristoJh, Pa., which is near his birth plac end within sight of the spot of his school boy days, is unmarked. Hancock was one of the heroes of many battles, and in the decisive battle of the war,Gettysburg, it was his prowess and courage turned the tide in our favor, and his name and fame will not be forgotten even though no siately shaft may be erected to mark the spot where rests all that is mortal of one who figured so conspicuously, so courag?ouslv and so honorably in the war for tho preservation of the American Union.

Gov. Taylor, of Tennessee, res cently told of a colored clergyman who preached a sermon on the text: “And the multitudes came to Him and He healed them of divers dis D eases.” Said he: “My dying congregation, this is a terr.ble text. - Disease is in the world. The snmllvprx slays its hundreds, the cholera its thousands, the yellow fever its tens of thousands, but in the language of the text, if you fakt the divers you are gone. The*e earthly doctors can cure the small pox, cholera and the yellow fever, if they get there in time, but nobody but the good Lord can cure the diver

The total solai* eclipse of April 15.16, 1893, is not only one of the longest of ti e century but is the last of the century from which we are likely to get any additions to our knowledge of solar physics.— The longest duration of totality of thin eclipse is lour minutes forty - six seconds, and as the path of the moon’s shadow lies to a great extent on the land, there is a considerable choice of possible stations with long durations of totality. Two expeditions will be sent from England, one to Africa, the other to-Brazil, the expenses being defrayed by the royal society. The United States will send an expedition to Chile, and there will probably be two or three American parties at Pasa Cura. A Brazilian party will also observe. rr he Bureau des Longitudes, Paris, are sending a complete expedition to /oal, Africa. At present we have not heard of an Italian expedit'on, but i* is poped that Professor TacchUi will be ai le to make arrangements to observe the eclipse.

Of all the odd appellations that ever came to my notice is one that I beard not long since in a little town in Mississij pi -1 think it is in Hazelhurst. I was passing along a side street one dav when a co<d black negress apne ;red from a' neighboring doorway and shouted, | “Glory! Glory Halleluiah!” I thought the woman was crazy and paused to just wbat her foim of dementia could be. Looking around a moment, she repeated the call, this tim > much louder than before . This time I heard the answer from behiLd a fence. “Yer I is, ma’m; what vo want?” “Nebber yo’ mm’, chile, whut I want; yo’ cum ver!” Immediately after there appeared from behind the fence one of the blackest little pickaninnies 1 ever beheld, and

upon inquiring I learned that the child had actually been christened Glory Halleluiah Jones—St.Lou* is Globe Democrat.

In commenting on the pension problem the Evansville Courier says: No one opposes the payment of pensions to deserving soldiers, or the widows of soldiers who died in the service ot their country. But the fact that a man served during the war should not entitle him to a pension if he is able to earn his own living. Nor should any man be entitled to a pension who has a private fortune sufficient for his needs. The object of pension laws is to provide for the helpless soldier and the soldier’s widow, and when these obligations have be n discharged, the i.avment of pensions ought to cease. No rich man ought to be paid a pension, i o matter how valuable his services may have been, and the man of proner sentiments would not tak. u pension unless he were in need. The best intelligence and patriotism of all political parties are coming around to this view of the pension question, and soldiers themselves are among its warmest advocates.

The IndUnapolis News a few days ago published the le teie alleged io have been taken by Gen. Ca»-ri"gton from the Jaw office of Senator Voorhees, at Terre Haute, during the war, but failed to publish the letter of Mr. V. to the doughty little general concerning his part in the affair, and clearly exposing his object and that of the i cripple governor who backed him. lit was an excoriator, and left Mr. Y. master of the situation. The generally accepted theory concerning those letters was that they were manufactured and placed in the little building for little Carrington to display his prowess, and to furnish his malignancy, governor Morton, with campaign material to be used against the Democratic partv. Carrington was small, in ever sense of the term. Morton was vicious, malignant and ambitious. And yet in those days when courts were organized to convict these trumped up findings of Carrington tailed of the result sought for.

Mr. Y. had removed his office from the building, which belonged to other parties, many months before it was captur’d by the military strategy of Carrington, and his letter carried dismay into the ranks ot the plotters, and placed a final quietus on all effort, to c ush him. Mr. Voorhees continues to serve his state acceptably and well.— Where is Morton, Carrington & Co., and the party they sought to build up and perpe uate forever by schemes most foul?
