A full vote should be polled in every township in the county next Monday.

There will be another republican meeting at Oriental hall to-morrow evening. Every republican should attend.

Every man should vote his convictions at every election, consequently no one should remain away from the polls next Monday.

"Actipna speak louder than words," aud the voters of this township will remember it when they go to the polls next

Monday.

If republicans are satisfied with their candidates throughout the county they should go to the polls next Monday and elect all of them.

The voters of Harrison township will prefer to re-elcct Louis Finkbiner on his record than put an untried man in his place on party promises.

There are only thirty-three Chinamen in this state, three-fourlhs of whom reside in Indianapolis, and twelve of these are members of the Presbyterian church.

It is the duty of the voters to compare carefully tho tickets for themselves. If this duty is faithfully performed the Express will be satisfied with the result.

While the democratic ticket is not especially weak it has no element of strength to recommend its election in preference to the republican candidates.

The many friends of Lawrence Burget should rally to his support and work for his election. He is worthy in every respect, and should be elected to the office.

The voter who can give any reason why the republican ticket should not be elected aext Monday, must have partisan magnifying glasses ol extraordinary power.

Those who are best acquainted with the men and best informed on the subject, are cmphatic in their expression of opinion that Louis Finkbiner should be re elected trustee.

In working against the admission of Dakota as a state the democrats remember their former experience in allowing Colorado admission just in. time to defeat Tilden to the Presidency.

The Gazette Bays its candidate for trustee "is in no sense a partisan or politician." How then can it ask democrats to vote for him if his democracy is not of the staunch and true kind.

The cry of "vote for the boys" should not be allowed to capture any republican vote® for the democratic candidates. Vote for the best men, and you will vote the straight republican ticket.

Schuyler Colfax is.enjoying an extensive boom for congress in the South Bend district. It looks as though it will be impossible for him to resist the tempta lion to again enter politics.

The pauper element of the community is always the most difficult to deal with, and Loais Finkbiner is the first trustee for many years against whom no word of complaint has been heard from-that quarter.

^TELEGRAPH CONSOLIDATION It seems aa though competition between telegraph companies in this country is an impossibility. Numerous attempts at it have been made, tut none have been successful. If the originators of new companies have been honest in their efforts to give tbe public cheaper rates and better facilities, they have been very stupid in their management, which in every instance has allowed their more formidable rival to obtain a controlling interest their etock, virtually retiring them from business.

Two years ago the Mutual Union company was formed for the purpose of building a line of wire between Boston and Washington to be leased for private use. About a year ago the company concluded to extend its sphere of usefulness, and at the present time it hrfs about fifteen thousand miles of wire in operation, reachiog all the principal business centers north of the Ohio river and west of the Mississippi. It fees in operation about four hundred and eeventy ofneta?, and baB been extending its lines as rapidly ES possible. For tbe past month

there

have beeu rumors

that the Wesiern Union hsd obtained control of a majoiity of the shares of ock of the Mutual Union, but the president oi the company has persistently denied thtrn. At last, however, it has beos ancerUiced that the rumors are tme that Jay Gould and two other New York firms own 52,000 of the 100,000 shares of Mutual Union stock, and that tbe two companies will hereafter iperaie in harmony.

The cause of tbe sell out is yet unknown, but there is a possibility that the Mutual Union was organized for that purpose, as has eeveral times been the case with similar venture.". With ofSces established in all the principal citie?, there is no apparent reason for it. If the statements of the* friends of the Western Union are correct there is aa little aause for the purchase. The latter claim tbat their company has been building up its business for many years that it has offices in all cities and at stations alorg the line of railroads which cannot be reached and conducted in a similar manner by any other company, and tbat no competing company ha9ever been known to meet expenses. Why then ehould it be so anxious to dispose of all rivals by purchase? There certainly muat be millions in a business which can afford to expend millions occasionally in purchasing a rival. These consolidations will eventually end in the governmeat taking all of the wires in the country and running tbem, as it does the postoffice department, in tho interest cf the people. As soon as it becomes a tittle more apparent tbat competition an inposaibility there will be such a clamor for a postal telegraph system that congress will be bound to establish it. Such a step would be no experiment, England commenced it eeveral years ago, and it has been a marked success. The same statement applies to Germany. Some time ago several members of congress announced their intention to advocate the adoption of the postal telegraph system in this country, but for some reason nothing but the simple announcement of the intention has ever been done, nor is it probable that further will be heard of it for some time to come.

THE CHINESE BILL.

The fate of the Chinese bill is still a conundrum. Nothing is known of the president's intentions, but there are doubts that he will refuse to sign it. Advice upon the subject is pouring in upon him by the bushel, by both mail and telegraph, and hens probably the moat advised man in the world to-day. Among the advice said to have been tendered is that of Secretary Frelinghuyeen against signing the bill. It has been considered in cabinet meeting, but no conclusion has yet been reached. The president is said to favor restriction for ten years instead of twenty, and would sign it if so amendedj but as be refuses to 6ay anything this ia mere conjecture. The friends and opponents of the bill each claim him as being on their side, and he listens to all with a patience born of resignation. General Grant thinks he would not have voted for the bill in its present form had he been a member of congress, as there i3 no necessity for such legislation. He further exprepsed the belief that the Chinese government would furnish all the restriction the rnoet ardent anti-Chinese advocate could desire, and if China ia aa anxious as other countries to keep her citizens at honae, the general is pretty near right in the statemen!. In the meantime the country is in a stale ol blissful ignorance, as to what will be done with the bill, although a nameless mem ber of the cabinet is given as*authority for the^slatement that it will be signed upon the tenth day after its passage.

It is no compliment to the taste of tbe people of this city that the lectures of Prof. Richards have been so poorly attended. Scientific lectures are generally considered dry, but his are both interesting and imtructive.

AMERICAN HOG IN TRANCE. WASHINGTON, March 30.—Secretary FreliDghnyseD,in order to facilitate favorftble action on the bill in the French Chambers for tbe revocation of the decree prohibiting tha importation of American pork, telrgraphed Minister Morton, on the 22d inst. as follow*: "Tbe Health Officer of Cincinati certifies that the records of that city, tbe center of the pork trade, do not show a single case cf trichinosis. Doctor Riucb, secretary of the Health Board of Illinois, reports only eleven deaths^ from trichinosis in the whole State in sixteen years, traced in each case to eating raw pork. The city physician cf Chicago States that tbe" records show only two caaes there in four years, also due to eating raw pork. The places mentioned are the great pork producing and consuming districts of the United States, while (he whole country consumes more pork per capita than uny other country." The Secretary has since received from Morton the following telegram: "The pork bill, with microscopic amendment, has passed the Chambers. The vote on the amendment was 256 ayes, 216 noes."

The pork bill provides for inspection in France by experts appointed by the Minister of Commerce, who shall have the right to prescribe tbe mode of examination.

SILVER PURCHASED.

The Treasury Department, to day, purchased 271,000 ounces of fine silver for the Mints.

The Romaic t£tftiolie Ides. CINCINNATI, Marcn 30.—The Catholic Provincial Council which met here recently prepared along pastoral letter. It received its first publicatiop to-day in the Catholic Telegraph. It "begins with a review of the progress of religion since the last council, twenty years ago, and congratulates tbe church oa the transition from the mission epoch to a condition of fixity. It then goes on to Bpeak of the necessity of obedience to authority holds that all men are not equal, and that men ordained to rule as kings, magistrates, bishops and priests have rights which the subjects do not laments the disposition to try God before the court of human r. aa?n, and says no man hae a right to teach a falsehood or to change a jot or tittle of the law of God.

It is very outspoken on the subject oi

labor nnions. It says a man's labor is hie own, as much as tbe gold ot.therich.man, and he has a right to sell ii as he pleases, at a fait price, and BO long as men accede to others the same freedom thej claimfor themselves there is no need of labor banding together for protection bnt labor nnions are liable to fail, and cannot be sustained when they attempt force a man to join the union or to work for a price fixed by anction. Catholics cannot be partners in as attempt to coerce ctherB against their just rights, nor to do iijjary to the person or property of others.

The letter has a long paragraph on the newspapers, in whicb it specifically denounces what it calls tbe. illegitimate means need by the Iriah Woild in its advocacy of the can« of Ireland, hot adds: "We are rt ady to co-operate with the Bishops oi Ireland in any legitimate effort to ameliorate the present unhappy condition of the Irish people."

The letter condemns much of the modern church music, and says the Gregorian chant is the recognised form. It declares that all music that savors of the sensuous and the profane, tbe theatre or the opera, sh&U be excluded from choir?, as also all music that attracts the attention of the people from the altar to tbe choir.

Much is said condemnatory of secret societies, especially such as have a religious hierarchy or form of liturgy.

Reverting to the stabject of authority, the letter pays it is not a Catholic doctrine that all power comes from the people, or that rulers do.not exercise authority as their own, bnt as entrusted to them by the people. Catholic doctrine is that the grant of power is not given by tbe people, but that they only designate who is to wield it. As to the priest, the people are commanded to

Eeek

tbe law from his

lips, and in all matteis of civil life appertaining to faith and morals the priest haa the right to speak, and the people are requested to listen. This dcctrioe, it is said, may be unpopular with modern liberalism, bul that does not prove it untrue.

It is said^ that Little agreed to surrender on condition of a full pardon and a share of the reward offered for himself, he, at the same time, to give up the rest of the gang. This was arranged at the time Mattie Collins, Little's wife, was in tha city some time ago. It was then agreed that Little should return to the gang-and a plan robbery in Ray county, where the gang was to be arrested.

Marriage is the Kavy.j

Many a young officer's professional repUtatiort has been rained, and his professional prospects killed, by-, an unfortunate alliance, or by constant application and wire-pulling to avoid, tbe service that belongs to him by right, for .family considerations, and many a man whose ambition has never been aroused by reason of an early resignation to domes tio life, will hear with sluggi9li blood tho music of the guns, or by reason of lack of fit experience be rendered valueless.

Recently a-man-of-ivar was ordered unexpectedly to winter in an ice-bound and isolated port, where mail facilities w£re of a meager nature. The number of married officers who suddenly became ill and unfit for duty was astonishing. Their ship was turned to ridicule, and her efficiency must have been impaired by their departure* An officer should by law be made to remain a bachelor until such a time as will insure his considering properly Hie significant question, "Will this woman do me honor?" and if his reason tells him yes, then will he know that she will do honor as a representative of his country-women in foreign and perhaps rarely visited lands.

In the Italian service an officer cannot marry unless either the lady or himself possess sufficient fortune to keep up the dignity of his position.

When an officer of the French navv wishes to marry, it is necessary to ask permission of the Minister of Marine, and at the same time to state that the lady possesses a fortune of at least 25^ 000 francs. This official then satisfies himself that the statement is correct by communicating with the civil functionary, who is familiar with the financial condition of her family, and this information has to appear, in writing at the time of the civil marriage.

In the Russian navy an officer cannot marry under the rank of Sub-Lieuten-ant, nor under the age of 28 years. If he marries before ne is 25 he must show that he possesses a capital of 5,000 rubles.

Up to the grade of Captain-Lieuten-ant in the German service an officer must have a capital of 12,000 thalers before he can marry, and must also show certificates as to the respectability of liis fiancee, and also of his own moral character.

Happily, it is not an American custom to make a business matter out of so sacred a contract as matrimonvj so that we could not, were we so inclined, propose so indelicate a step as the regulation of marriage in the navy by the wealth of the contracting parties but we can, nevertheless, see the evil working of a system that allows a boy to be entrapped in some unfortunate hour into chains that are to be hung around his neck as long as he lives, unless a sympathetic ana discriminative Providence sees fit to rid him of his incumbrance.

A Lieutenant in the navy has, in hii pay, the equivalent of $60,000 in Government bonds. With so much more from his wife, he can maintain asocial status commensurate with his position under the Government which is one of high trust and confidence. We can, however, readily dispense with theques* tion of fortune if we can secure legislation that will result in the establishment of regulations forbidding officers to marry until they are lieutenants, or 30 years of age.

By.that time they will have seen something of tho world, and be able to judge wisely of tho gravity of theBtep. The service will not then be hampered by young officers whose duty it is to go to sea and learn their profession, but whose lofty ambition seems to be to remain on shore and coddle their babies. Service feeling will receive a new impetus. Uhe young and aspiring, bound by no stronger ties than are born of the idle flirtation of an hour, will give their fine abilities and splendid energies to the profession they have chosen, and whose glory will become their own.—United Service.

No End of Ton.

I arrived at a farmhouse in a wood, where a general of brigade and his stall had established themselves, whom I happened to know. While chatting with them on the chances of a skirmish before nightfall, and on the proximity

the enemy, a young officer came in, saying that from a point he had just left he could look right down into apart of the French position. This point he described to me as occupied by a halfdozen men, who had crept as far to the front as possible, and were now hiding behind an old ruined wall and watching the enemy unobserved. As he was going back there, I offered to accompany him and we crept through the brush-' wood and then made a quick run across apiece of open ground to a most picturesque fragment of ruin, which dominated the valley some 300 or 400 feet below, in which is situated the village of Freteval, then occupied, as well as the heights behind, by the French army. Peeping through the chinks of the ruin, 1 coula see a French regiment marching along a road beneath us, within very comfortable rifle shot, apparently unaware of our proximity. I remained hero jotting down notes for nearly an hour, and then, hearing some firing at a distance, determined to return to the carriage in order to go and see what it was. This I could either do by keeping in the woods all the time, which involved a long1 round, or by crossing an open plowed field, which was a saving of half the distance. As everything seemed quiet where I was, I determined on the latter course, and was laboring through the soft land, ankle deep in mud, when, bang! came around snot, apparently aimed at me, and buried itself about twenty yards in the rear. To say that I took to my heels is a figure of speech I had no heels I had two mountains of mud clinging to my feet, which rendered running almost impossible. However, I did my best and in the agony of my effort I sprawled headlong on my face at tho very moment when another shot, better aimed,-covered me with dirt. For at least ten minutes more wae my solitary figure a target for that miserable French battery. I ceased to wonder that the French lost battles when they could waste valuable ammunition in this way. I heard shouts of laughter proceed from a German regiment bidden in the wood for which I was making, as they saw my frantic efforts to increase my speed, as each whistling, shrieking ball warned me not to dally. Once they actually emended a shell upon me, but it cracked in the air a hundred feet above me. At last, panting with fatigue, I scrambled into the wood, and I must say that I was most sympathetically and kindly received by the Germans as a return for the amusement I had afforded them.

Maudlin Sympathy for CriminalsFrom the Lewlaton (Me.) JonrnaL Two murders in Maine in one week, both perpetrated by ignorant men With low foreheads, indicate that the millennium is still postponed, and that the Bpccies is still cspsble of intellectual as well as moral improvement. One of these murders is caused by whet is termed jealousy and the other is tbe result

hot

temper. Already the debate on the revival of capital punishment is renewed. The cases are a strong argument for the school house and for sound moral and religious instruction. That both should go together is indicated by the fact that this Cherryfield murderer hastened from a religious meeting to cut his paramour's throat. A peculiar illustration of the inadequacy of passing sentiment and mere emotion is given in the conversation of the supposed murderer at Katahdin Iron Works, who is ready to pay all the doctors' bills of the man whose skull he crushed, and volunteers to support the family of the murdered man—of course provided the unreasonable and hard-hearted Sheriff of that section does not arrest the tender-hearted murderer and deprive him of the birthright of a free American citizen. In the case of the Cherryfieid [Cherryfield] mvrder [murder], tke papers affirm that an executive officer down in Washington county believes that the murdered woman is in a great degree responsible for her own murder. Between pity for the victim and pity for the viclimizer, will not some person with a hat fall of brains and a heart full of the milk of human kindness now divert some intelligent sympathy toward tbe public, and thus help ring out the era of "maudlinism" and ring in the era of public protection in the certainty of punishment, without the unreasonable exercise of the pardoning power. In this State notorioua criminals have been pardoned out because their health was poor, and now we observe that in Massachusetts a bank destroyer has been pardoned on the same plea. Some way must be devised to prevent criminals from being sick.

A Wild Beauty-

A special from New York to the Cincinnati Commercial qao'ea a letter from Paris as follow*: "Tt« Tbeatie Francais has brought out a comedy in three ac«J, by Alfred Da Musset, and a dramatic curiosity in tbe person cf Mile. Fejghice, a wild Slav, who is said to fence as dexterously as Paul Da Cassagnsc, to row as well aa a canotier of Amiens, to ride better than the Empress of Aostria, end who certainly is bewilchingly pretty. Her beauty is very odd it baa a wild savor. The skin of her neck and ber complexion are made up of lilies and roees, and tbe hair is a golden fleece. Tfce features show a slight cross Of Tartar blood, in what it would be hard to say, they being regular and neat. The eyes show intensity of feeling witb whimsicality and brain power. She is very eby, sod keeps aloof from tbe theater and dramatic associates, unless when it is positively nectssary to be with them. Tbe name of tbe comedy in which she has appeared is "La Qoanouille de Bsrbarene," or "Barbarine'a Distaff." The work is light, lively and loosely hung together. Tbe plot is flimsy, the action without coherence, and the whole a petit chef d'oeuvre. It was written years and years ago for Mme. Allen, but thrown aeide to be exhumed a few months back by M. Perrin.

It ia said that a woman is ct the bottom of the Herzegovina rebellion. Miss Alice Hurtley, a beautiful female of uncertain antecedents, made her appearance in 1879 at Seraiavo, tbe capital of Bosnia, in company with an English cewspapef correspondent, who introduced fcer to everybody aa his wife. She is a diminutive creature, but cf remarkable beauty, with fine blse eyes and light hair, cut a la George 8and. Her personal charms and enthusiasm in bebaJf of the Bosnian cause eecured her an extraordinary popularity, and made her a conspicuous figure in tbe revolt sgainst Austrian rule, which ebe urged with all tbe reeourcts at ber command. Nikita, Prince of Montenegro, is eaid to be infatuated with her, and she is apparently destined to play an important role.

A young maa who waa ploughing wiih a pair of mulea near Gonzales Texae, not long ago, observed in the morning that tbe off mule was sufisring from a swollen jaw. On tbe principle that mules have no rights which their owners are boand to respect, he paid no farther attention to the matter until evening, when he noticed that the near mule was drawing away as far as possible from its mate. A closer inspection revealed the bead of a rattlesnake sticking out from the straw collar of the afflicted beaat, in which snug quarters it had probably passed tin winter.

Judge Jeremiah- Black is quoted by a correspondent of the Providence Press as saying, in regard to the rumors of Mr. Arthur's marriage: "I do not doubt that the President is the constant subject of matrimonial overtures from all quarters, some of them most diplomatically pre-, tented. When I was associated with President Buchanan as a Cabicet officer from his own State, I was continually •olieited to be the medium cf these delicate approaches and propositions."

Dr. Siemens denies that there is any wasted solar energy becsnee "«he rediant heat, intej jected into interplanetary apace, meets with a rarified interstellar atmosphere of various gases, which are decom--poeed and sent back in the ahape cf a counter current to the sun." A sort of gulf stream, we suppoee.
