The Indianapolis Journal, in a pungent and incisive editorial, inveighs against the* pernicious "bureau method" thai was practised by Mr. Tlldeii in the campaign of 1876, and boldly charges thai this meth «wl is now being utilized by some Republican candidates for Presidential and State nominations. The Journal insists, tlfat this method of electioneering for nominations is not in harmony with the Repuhlican idea and deserves a signal rebuke from the Republican party wherever it is '(inaugurated. The Journal evidently thinks that "the oftici* should seek the man," and therefore urges the nomitmlion of E. B. Washlmrne for President, and William Heilmnn for Governor, without regard to the expressed wishes of tin'se gentleman the one having declared in favor of Jen. (Irant for President, and the other in favor of (Sen. Shackleford for Governor.

Mr. Heilman appears to be resolute in his declaration, and his friends are resolved that he shall be re-elected to Congress from the First district, believing as they do, that lie the only Republican thai can lie elected. The political complexion of the next Congress may depend upon bis vote, and perhaps he is wise in declining the race for Governor.

We have in rtur midst a quiet gentleman of unquestioned character and abilities, whose nomination would be a tower of strength, if he could be ^prevailed on to accept it, and whose election by a large majority would be morally certain. We refer to William R. McKeen. We believe that he combines within himself as many, if not more elements of, popular strength than any man in the State. ifisconnection with great and successful enterprises, his strong personal qualities, his clean record and his eminent administrative qualities, furnish ample security that he would make an able and faithful chief magistrate of the State, While he is a staunch Republican, he has the confidence. and respect of all parties, and no man in the State is more widely and favorably known. His nomination would equivalent to an election. If the nomination should be tendered to him with substantial unanimity, we do not believe that Mr. McKeen would foel at liberty to decline.

THK meeting of the Young Men'# Republican Club, last night, shows that there is not one jot or tittle of abatement in the interest the young Republicans are taking in political affairs. They do not propose to take a aeason of rest lietv^een the April and May elections. nor between the May and .November elections. They have their war paint on and intend to keep up the flght. Men of all parties, Democrats and Nationals, as well as Republicans, recognize the power of this organization of over, five hundred young Republicans, and it is safe to say the opposition rcal-t ined its strength and prowess in the rcctmt township convention. It is very gratifying to know that among the many recent additions made to its membership, there are quite a number of young men of Democratic and National antecedents. They arc making the right

Mr. Journal, we would advise yon to keep -quiet, else you might pet hoofed.

Mohammedan In difference to SnfTering. Blarkwood'* Magazine. I recollect having seen at Nikopolisor Sistova—I forget which—great piles of bones ready for exportation, among which were some human skulls. I also recall to mind that two months previously, when I was visiting some chemical manure works in the North of Scotland, the manager showed me his bone stores from the Black Sea, and said that Unman bones were often found in cargoes from that quarter. Again, a- fev: weeks after my visit to the Hhipka, I saw a considerable number of men's skulls and other bones in shallow ojien holes in the Acropolis at Athens, which the local dragoman told me were the remains of Greeks and Turk-* who had fallen in the war of independence lifty years ago. That Mohammedans and other rude races are indifferent about burying the bodies of those in whom they have no special per sonal interest I can well believe. With them the feeling of sympathy for physical suffering is almost non-existent. If so callous about the living, why should they care for the dead? Over and over again in India I have been disgusted by the cruel way they leave a dog. when disabled bv a boar, to die a lingering death in the Jungle—from starvation, or being eaten while still half alive by beasts of prey—when a prod with a spear would have ended the poor brute's misery. It is the same with other animals. Of the 70.000 camels which died during the year 1878-Ti» Afghan campaign, I suppose a large majority died in one or other of the above horrible ways. Of those that did not. we may safely conjecture the happy dispatch was either due to the humanity of British officer or to the promptings of the Mohammedan stomach.

Chinese Printing.

The Chinese assert that the art of printing was discovered in China about fifty years before the Christian era. Until till? discovery of the art of paper making. A. 1). MS. they printed on silk or cloth cut in the form of leaves. The method used by the Chinese in printing their books is as follows:

In printing, the Chinese do not use a press as we uo the delicate nature of their paper would not admit of it when once the blocks are engraved, the paper is cut, and the ink is ready, one man with his brush will print a large number of sheets in a day.

The block to be printed must be placed perfectly level, and secured firmly. The printer has two brushes one of them a stifferkind, which he can hold in his hand, and use at either end.

Ho dips it into the ink and rubs the block with it, taking care not to wet it too much, or leave it too dry if it were wetted too much the characters would be slurred if too little, they would not print.

When the block is once got into a proper state he can print three or four impressions without dipping his brush into ink.

The second brush is used to rub over the paper, with a small degree of pressure, that it may take the impression this it does easily, for, not being sized with alum, it receiyes tlu* ink the instant it comes in contact with it.

It is only necessary that the brush should be passed oyer every part Of the sheet with a greater or smaller degree of pressure, ami repeated in proportion as the printer finds there is more or less ink unon the block. This brush is soft and ot an oblong form.

Ingcrsoll Vabor.

Col. Bob Ingersoll in a Boston speech some time since thus expressed himself on the labor question: "Every man ought to be willing to pay for what he gets. He ought to desire to give full value received. The man who wants f2 worth of work for 1 is no honest man. The man who wants others to work to such an extent that their lives are burdens, is utterly heartless. The toil of th» world should continually dectsrase Of what use are your inventions if no bur dens arc lifted from industry—if no additional comforts find their way to the home of labor?

Why should labor fill the world with weaitii and live in want? Every lalmr saving machine should help the whole world. Every one should tend to shorten the hours of labor.

Reasonable labor is a source of joy. To work for wife and child, to toil for those vou love, is happiness, provided vou can make them happy. Bnt to work like a slave—to sec your wife and children in rags—to sit at a tabic where food Is coarse and scarce, to rise at four in the morning—to work all day and throw your bones on a miserable l»ed at night—to live without leisure, without making those you love comfortable and happv— this is not living—it is dying, a slow lingering crucifixion. The hours of labor should lie shortened. With the vast and wonderful improvements of the nineteenth century, there should be not only the necessaries of life for those who toil, bnt comforts and luxuries as well.

What is a reasonable*price for labor? I answrr. Such a price that will enable a man to live to have the comforts of life to lay by something few his declining years so that h« can have hi* own home, his own fireside—so that he Can have the feelings of a man. sympathise with evcrr honc*l effort made by the children of labor to improve their condition. That 5s a govern ed country in which those who do the most havc^the least. There something

witJng when men have to beg for leave to toil. We are not yet a civilized people. When we are," pauperism and crime will vanish from our land.

There is one* thing, however, cf which I am glad and proud, and that is, that society in our country is not petrified that the poor aie not always poor. The children of the poor of this generation may and probably will be the rich t»f the next The sons of the rich of- this generation may be the poor of the. next so after all, the* rich fear and the poor hope.

It is the glory of the United States that the poor man can take his son on his knee and say, "My son, all the avenues of distinction are open to you. You can rise. There is

no station, no position, to which

you may not aspire. The poverty of your father will not lie a millstone around your neck. The public schools are open to vou. For you there are education, honor, fame and "prosperity."

These thoughts render holy every drop or sweat that ^11* down the face of lion.est toil.

I sympathize with the wanderer, with the vagrant out of employment, with the sad and weary men who are seeking for work. When I see one of them »oor gjgjt friendless—no matter how bad le is. rlliink that somebody loved him once—that he was once held in the arms of a mother—that he slejt beneath her loving eyes and waked in tlunight of her smile, 1 see him in the cradle, listcniug to lulabies, sung soft and low, and his little face is dimpled as though by the rosy fingers of Joy. And then I thiuk of the strange and* winding paths—the weary roads that he has traveled from that mother's arms to vagrancy and want.

There should be labor and food for all. We invent. We take advantage of the forces of nature. We nut shackles upon the unseen powers. 1 hese slaves should release from bondage all the children of men.

Newspaper Slander.

A journalist has the same right to assail the private character of a citizen tha. a highwayman has to attack and cudgel the unarmed man who walks the streets, and no nqpre. Of the two, the malignant and unscrupulous journalist and the man with a slung-shot, the former is the worst, from the fact that the wounds given by him have in them a virus that do not heal. This does not mean that honest journalism should cease to antagonize every crime of individuals against the public, for as long as newspaper articles are backed up by facts, they are safe protectors of society. When they leave this honored path, and nose around for possible scandal, catching up the barest threads of truth and winding them around their victim, they are simplv "busy-bodies," described in the sacred"

Word as having "tongues set

on fires of hell." A gossip in any neighborhood can keep the whole community in an uproar aud by the ears, and a newspaper, with the ears of its editor ever eager for a whisper of slander? will keep a community anxious, wlnle a thousand good things will be passed unnoticed. The tongue has always been an unruly member, and protection from its venom is more difficult than from the bludgeon of the highwayman.

A prayer preferred bv a somewhat simple New Englanjler, who was overheard offering his petition behind a stump of bushes in the field, was: "Oh, Lord, 1 want a new coat—good cloth—none of your coarse, flimsy kind of stuff, but a ijood, thick, warm, comfortable broaddoth—such as Bill Hale wears."

CALL AND FIND OUT PRICES. COR.4TH AND CHERRY.

The value of whose products is counted by millions of dollars, feel their advantage over limited dealers more than ever before, for they can aiford tolsell their merchandise at a much lower figure than small dealers emu Our belief remains- unshaken, and we shall act upon it, that the best time to sell cheap is when others are selling dear that more fortunes have been made by selltee: at low prices than at high prices and, finally, that the price tells, and every body tells the price, whether the price be high or low.

The fabrics from which we manufactured our spring and sumntfjr stock were selected before the recent advance, which enables us to not only save our customers the middleman profit, but also save them the recent advance that every small dealer had to pay for his goods.

We therefore take pleasure in announcing .%U our patrons that Men's, Youths', Boys' and Children's Clothing, fcfent's Furnishing Goods of every shade and grade, will be retailed at last year's wholesale priccs.
