EVIDENTLY the "Journal" 13 preparing to roar lustily for DAVID DAVIS.
LAFAYETTE is at present afflicted with a great and unusual amount of sickness.
THE Third Annual State Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association of Indiana, will convene at the Hall of the Y. M. C. A., at Indianapolis on the 26th inat.
THE "Express" has a new name for Rome of its old friends. That paper calls Sumner, Schurz, Trumbull and the New York "Tribune" soured Eepublicans," whatever that may mean! Journal.
A soured Republican is one who is sweet on the Democracy. Do you begin to understand the matter?
EQUALITY of civil rights is an accomplished fact in Mississippi—that is, so far as the legal enactment goes. The question of the constitutionality of the meas» .. ure is to be at once tested in the courts.
The test case is already made up. A negro and wife took a seat in the theater at Jackson, Miss., on Monday night, to test the law, and were ejected.
THE "Times and Chronicle" declares that the Pennsylvania producers of petro leum are in a condition of explosive exultation .over a bill passed by the State Legislature authorizing the laying ot free pipes for the effluence of their product This, they say, throttles the Southern Improvement Company, which has heretofore been the anaconda that paralyzed their energies. VANDERBILT and TOM SCOTT, joint participants in the profits of the Improvement Company, it is said, are much disgusted over their defeat in the attempt to monopolize the transportation of petroleum.
Dickons.
A certain minister of the Gospel in Indianapolis preachcd a sermon Sunday evening, in which he took occasion to condemn the practice of novel reading. In this connection he pronounced the works of DICKENS demoralizing, and made the assertion that in all his writings there was not a perfect Christian character—that professors of religion were invariably represented as hypocrites and knaves. The Indianapolis "Evening Journal" is "disposed to think this well-meaning preacher has done violence to the spirit if not the letter ol the great novelist's teachings. There was undoubtedly in all he wrote an utter abhorrence of hypocrisy and cant wherever he found them, but in taking examples from the sacred profession of theology he only attacked these evils in their stronghold. The worst and meanest of. hypocrites is he who steals the livery of heaven to serve the devil in. The exposure of this class does not militate against the character and influence of those true followers of CHRIST who are bright and shining lights of the visible Church. Whatever may have been the faults of DICKENS, from the first he was the champion of the poor and persecuted, and he did more for their alleviation than all the social schemes of reform in the world beside. It is the part of humanitarians to establish asylums he pointed to the abuses wliich, in the nature of human frailty, will creep into these institutions. From the instances of abuse which now and then crop out in the best regulated ones it is plain that a perfect system of reform and relief does not exist. In making the executive officer of every benevolent en terprise feel that his record is open to scrutiny and investigation, DICKENS has done humanity an inestimable service."
Presidential Aspirants.
Among the several classes of patriotic citizens who are always prepared to serve the public in the Presidential capacity, none are so conspicious as those who have discovered their own superior ability to fill the office, and who, having no friends or admirers to urge their claims, push themselves. These gentlemen almost invariably make the mistake of allowing their own merits to be a little obscured by the glory of some one else, and at once feel the necessity of exposing to the whole world the demerits of that some one else, or in other words to admit their own meanness and weakness by comparison with a greater similar quality in some one else. This class of men never learn by experience. Defeat with them is but a stepping stone to new endeavor, and after a number of disappointments the disease becomes chronic. They can not be taught that the man whom the people desire to fill the Presidential ofhce must be one whose merits are very conspicuous.
The Republican party is just now annoyed, as all parties in power have been, with several of these men. They are blustering to drive the public, each for his own political elevation, but will succeed in nothing, unless it be the destruction of the party which they no doubt desire to perpetuate. They may be sincere in their desire to serve the country, but they wish to be the official medium through which it is served.
Just now the small artillery of all this class is turned upon the President, he being regarded as the most prominent candidate before the party, but if he should die, or become incapacitated from holding the office during another term, the next prominent man would receive the saihe fire—even if that man should be one of the artillerists. After the Convention these men will become soured, politically, and will find sweetening only in the Democratic party, or some sham un» der which it is hidden. It is a waste of time to reason with them, and BO long as the people continue te select the candiate, they will do no harm. If the people are dissatisfied with Grant, they will make the dissatisfaction known by the nomination of some one else. If they are not, let the aspiring Presidential "stick" rant. —Ind. Journal,
Who Can Answer This Han's QuestionZ ''CINCINNATI, March 11,1872. To the Editor of the Times and Chronicle:
A writer signing the initials of W. DQ. has recently made himself heard in the columns of the Terre Haute "Journal." W. D. G, is said to be "a well known railroad man." His letter to the "Journal" seems to ha.ve arisen solely from the fact that he has a prejudice against the proposed Cincinnati and^Terre Haul's Bail road. He shows to his own satisfaction that only two railroads in Indiana are paying dividends that at least three in the State are bankrupt, and that all the rest are going to the devil at apace a good deal faster than a dog-trot. Now, the only "well known railroad man" of
whom
I have knowledge, who
bears the initials of W. D. G. is the W. D. G. under whose management the Ohio and Mississippi and the St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute Bailroads proved such conspicuous failures. They neglected to pay dividends with scrupulous regularity during .ais administration, and would have undoubtedly continued till the crack of doom, with the same certainty of failure to payhad W continued at the head of either of'them.' W. D. G. says, further, that the Junction Road is "only a sham, a mere skeleton." The W. D. G. to whom I have referred as formerly connected with the Ohio & Mississippi is now the Receiver of the Junction Railroad,
xi
the W. D. G. of the Terre Haute "Journal" and the W. G. who is Receiver of the Junction Road are one and the same W. D. G., I desire'to know by what standard of honor his conduct shall be judged for in that case we have the hovel instance of a man abusing, in his capacity of letter-writing, the very road of which he is made the highest officer, in his capacity as a "well-known railroad man." It will be well for those who are most interested in winding up the Junction affairs to the best advantage to look closely into this matter, and asr certain whether the "Journal" W. D. G. and Receiver W. D. G. are identical.
There can be no doubt that the Ohio and Mississippi W. D. G. and the "Journal" W. D. G. are the same. The familiarity with bankrupt or non-paying-divi-dend roads shows this for who should know better about such matters than a "well-known railroad man," whose roads have always been equally well known as never paying dividends. Plenty of people in Third street, Cincinnati, and in Wall street, New York, who did not know W. D. G, at all, knew, and still know, much better than he is known, that no road with which he .has ev^r had anything to do has paid a dividend. The O. and M., since his exit, has prospered Its present management has brought it up out of the slough in which he had well nigh sunk it. Their administration has placed it where every one of its employes can have pride in it, and it is being made better every day. But even such a mag-, nificent line as theO. and M., linking by 340 miles of iron two great interior cities, was unable to carry such a "well-known railroad" incubus as W. D. G. Six months more of W. D. G.^ would have sunk it out of reach of a diving-bell.
The motives of W. D. G., in iis attack upon the proposed Cincinnati and Terre Haute road, are not difficult to discover. At the time, be came well nigh W. D. G.-ing the O. and M. to death, it was a matter of remark, among railroad men, some of whom were almost as well known as himself, that ho regarded with no friendly eye certain projects looking to the opening of mineral and coal lands lying between the line of the 0. and and Terre Haute. He was said at that time to be interested in, and is supposed to be now interested in, certain mining and milling property whose only market is Terre Haute. He wished to admit no one in competion, and therefore discouraged the building of branches from the O. and M. into these regions But what I want to know is, whether my W. D. G., and the "Journal" W. D. G., and the O. and M. W. D. G., and the Junction Receiver W. D. G- are the same person. I think so, don't it?
Yours undoubtedly, NOT W, D. G.
From the Terre JBaute Banner, March°th1 The "Liberal" Child and the "Bonr hon" Aunt.
In last Thursday's issue of the Journal, as also in the Friday's issue of the same paper, we notice several "Liberal Republican" Pronunciamentos, one by the mountebank Fritsch, of Evansville, and another by Jacob Brinkerhoff, of Ohio.— We do not propose to criticise these man ifestos, nor make any comments upon them, only intending to call attention to the fact that Frit3ch, as well as Brinkerhoff, were very strong Democrats, and for purposes best known to themselves,severed their connection with that party, and waddled over to Republican camp, but in their haste, neglected to use a liberal amount of soap-suds to cleanse their skin of Democratic stench. We can only express our surprise to find such articles in a paper that takes no "stock" in either the "new departure" or passive policy,and always asserted that only the infallible, unwashed Democracy was fit to be one of the great fations of this country, and now (of course, on the second page,) the Journal, in an indirect manner, suggests a consolidation of the Democrats and Liberal Republicans. It is not difficult to notice the sly Democratic fox, who, feigning death, quietly awaits the accumulation of bait, so as to inveigle and allure them to (political) destruction. But, on the oth* er hand, it is probable, that the Journal may have become compassionate, thinking to do good ostensibly, while at the same time they expect to reap the benefit. And now because the Liberal Republicans, like Fritsch and Brinkerhoff, extend the right hand of fellowship to the Democrats, "Auntie" Journal opened its heart, and in gushing and compassionate tears, through her. columns, addresses the Liberal Republican child, as follows: "If you will proceed in that way, my darling child, and be obedient to me commands, I will pledge you my well-wishes, and treat you friendly but should you ever think of recurring to those foolish ideas of Liberal Republicanism, you may expect a spanking. Yon area poor child, and it was out of pure naughtiness and spite that you left your parental roof, and you ought to be real glad if your old Democratic Auntie, who, on account of advanced age, needs assistance, (.we think they do,) will let you partake of a scanty meal, and live in her house. In that way, at least, you will be taken in out of the wet, and you will not be under the painful necessity of patronizing free lunches, since that has the tendency of extinguishing the last spark of morality left in you. Now, be real good, mind your Auntie, who means it well with you. Don't go to school any more, and in all other things faithfully execute my wishes. Of course, at first you will, like "Topsy," be compelled to do all of my dirty work, but you must bear in mind that I am old and shaky, and when I shall be compelled to hand in my checks—although I have made up my mind to live along while yet—I will install you as my sole heir with full leave to appropriate all the old rattletraps in my house, as also to take possession of my old wardrobe, although the same is quite faded and out of fashion."
All for Grant
The Wisconsin and Kentucky State Conventions came off yesterday, and both heartily endorsed the administration of President Grant, and, with great unanimity, instructed their delegates to the National Convention to vote for his renomination for President. It is now pretty evident that the people will have to choose between President Grant and the "Cincinnati man."—Ind. Journal.
Kerosene not Explosive. Kerosene is not explosive. A lighted taper may be thrust into it, dr flame applied ih any way, and it does not explode. On the contrary, it extinguishes flame,-if experimented with at the osaal temperas tures of our rooms. Kerosene accidents occur from two causes: first, imperfect manufacture of the article second, adulterations. An imperfectly manufactured oil is that which results when the distillation has been carried on at too low a temperature, and apart of the naphtha remains in it. Adulterations are largely made by unprincipled dealers, who add twenty or thirty per cent, of naphtha after it leaves the manufacturer's hands. The light naphthas which have been spoken of as known in commerce under the names of benzine, benzoline, gasoline, etc, are very volatile," inflammable, and dangerous. They, however, in themselves, are not explosive neither are they, when placed in lamps, capable of furnishing any gas which is explosive. Accidents of this nature are due entirely to the facility with which vapor is produced from them at low temperatures. But the vapor by itself is inexplosive to render it so, it must be mixed toilhair. A lamp may be filled with bad kerosene, or with the vapor even, and in no possible way canitdetonate, unless atmospheric air has somehow got mixed with the vapor. A lamp, therefore, full, or nearly full of the liquid is safe, and also one full of pure warm vapor is safe. Explosions generally occur when the lamp is first lighted without being filled, and also late in the evening, when the fluid is nearly exhausted. The reason of this will readily be seen. In using imperfect or adulterated kerosene, the space above the line of oil is always filled with vapor and so long as it is warm, and rising freely, no air can reach it, and it is safe. At bedtime, when the family retire, the light is extinguished the lamp cools, a portion of the vapor is condensed this creates partial vacuum in the space, which is instantly filled with air. The mixture is now more or less explosive and when, upon the next evening, the lamp is lighted without replenishing with oil, as is often done, an explosion is liable to take place. Late in the evening, when the oil is nearly consumed, and the space above filled with vapor, the lamp cannot explode so long as it remains at rest upon the table. But take it in hand, pgitate it, carry it into a cool room, the vapor is cooled, air passes in, and the mixture becomes explosive
A case ot lamp explosion came to the writer's knowledge a few years since, which was occasioned by taking a lamp from the table to answer a ring at the door-bell. The cool outside air, which impinged upon the lamp in the hands of the lady, rapidly condensed the vapor, air passed in, and an explosion occurred, which resulted fatally. If the lamp had been full of fluid, this accident could not have occurred. Before carrying it to the door, flame might have been thrust into the lamp with safety the vapor would have ignited, but no explosion could have taken place.
HOW TO TEST KEROSENE.
But how can wb be positively assured of safety in the use of kerosene? How can we. know of the quality or character of the article offered lis by dealers? These are important questions, which will.naturally arise in the mind of the reader. We answer, there is positive assurance of safety, if pure, well manufactured keroseneis consumed. We do not.believe a a serious accident ever occurred from kerosene, the inflamable point of which was above 110° F., and this is the legal standard. During the past fifteen years the writer has made a large number of experiments upon burning fluids, and investigated thoroughly the conditions under which accidents Occur in their use. Personal investigation has been made of the alleged cases of explosions, many of which have been reported, and therefore opinions upon the subject with a confident feeling of their correctness.
Purchases made direct, of long established reputable manufacturers, afford assurance of safety. But such are not readily accessible, and in most cases a supply is sought from the nearest dealer, without any definite knowledge of the source from whence it comes, or its char acter or quality. If consumers are wil ling to be put to a little trouble, a simple experiment will determine the safety of the kerosene they purchase. Fill a pint bowl two-thirds full of boiling water, and into it put a common metallic thermome ter. The temperature will run up to over 200°. By gradually adding cold water, bring down the temperature of the water to 110°, and then pour into the bowl spoonful of the kerosene, and apply lighted match. If it takes fire, the arti cle should be rejected as dangerous if not, it may be used with a confident feel ing of it£ safety. In this experiment which is the most simple that can be de vised, the fire test is directly applied Upon practical trials it has been found to afford correct results.
THE Cincinnati Enquirer" says The Democracy of Indiana are satisfied with the political situation." This must be true. For more than a 'week, not a howl or a whine has been heard from the party curs," and all seems se rene in the Democratic menagerie.— Ind. Journal.
