The nomination of Judge Folger by the convention in iS'ew York was to be expected.

The District Attorney of "Philadelphia has discovered a scheme for false registering. The plan was fitted to produce a large quantity of fraudulent votes." Supervisors in one of the wards are to be prosecuted. The locality is a favorite resort of the spoilsmen.

A venerable rat once announced his intention of retiring to a solitary cell to end his days in meditation and prayer.

The announcement to an admiring* community that Jay Gould will no longer "bull" the stock market, but will retire to take care of his hundred millions has a smell of the rat. When sponges ceasc to absorb, or spider webs hold no flies then may such as Gould retire to nurse their estates, but the present information, if it comes from headquarters, looks like a prelude to one of the most lively "bulling" operations of the year, engineered by the man who is going to retire.

REPUBLICAN PLATFOEKS.
An examination of the platforms adopt ed by the State nominating conventions of Massachusetts, 2s ew York, Connectcut and Missouri reveals the unanimity existing throughout the Republican party upon vital issues that affect good government Snd the welfare of the nation. There is much less than usual of juggling with w.ords and explicit definitions are made of the principles and purposes that are to govern the Republican party, in its future career. The Massachusetts resolutions are most comprehensive and definite, and in a-general sense include the sentiments of the other platforms. They point to the continuation of the legislation already inaugurated by our party, to reduce the collection of revenue, to purify the elections, to reform the civil service, to adjust on an equitable basis the tariff laws that they may foster and protect without oppression or inequality and the protection of the right of labor,
The variance in the positions upon prohibitory laws and the temperance question are such as could be looked for in these States, but enough is said to strengthen the fears of such bodies as the Illinois liquor dealers.
The convention of Massachusetts proposes the intelligent and candid consideration of all propositions in aid of temperance and good order. That of Connecticut declares itself in favor of submitting to the people at a special election the prohibitory amendments and of enforcing its will, whatever it may be. The Missouri Convention does not go so far upon this question but shows a deference to the increasing interest in temperance by declaring it the duty of the State to restrain the use of intoxicating liquors and reduce it to a minimum.
It demands the vigorous enforcement of existing license laws and the adoptiou of laws that shall allow lo calities to decide for themselves as to the sale of liquors.
The New York convention, in a State that has not agitated the question as much as its Western and Eastern neighbors, does not as yet consider the matter a political issue. We find in these platforms no attempt to decide the question for the people, but the leaders and lepresentatives of the party sensibly and honestly refer it to the voters to be settled by the majority. In all questions of national interest, as said before, there is general accord, quite significant of the solid Republican line that will sweep these States in the fall elections.

The Typical Demagogue.
Chicago Journul. Three years of General B. F. Butler, who may Justly be regarded as tho typical demagogue in American politics, ran for Govornor of Massachusetts as the joint nominco of the Greenback, Labor-Reform and Democratic parties. He was ovor whelmlngly defeated then, lie is now again running for Governor under pre clsely tho same circumstances, and it is safe to predict that he will lie more overwhelmingly defeated this time then he was before.
Arctio Nonsense.
Evansvillo Tribune. The United States Government ought to stop the nonsense of spending money on useless Arctic exploring expeditions which do absolutely no good.
Mon can be frozen to death at a ucli less expense at home than the country is subjected to when they are sent to the neighborhood of the north pole for that purpose. To be sure, the New York Herald would not receive nearly so much advertising from the operation when conducted at home, and some squeamish persons might call it murder, but it would be much cheaper and a little less absurd than the Jeanotte expedition.
4?thur's Administration.
Indianapolis Journal. The Cincinnati Enquirer publishes a review of the first year of President Arthur's administration, closing by saylpg: "In short, lie has tried honestly to be tho President of the whole people." This will certainly be the Judgment of every can' did man, whatever his personal or political feeling. Assuming ollioe under the most trying and delicate circumstances, President Arthur has conducted the affairs of the government with singular freedom from irritation. There has been no Interference with tho orderly course of business. The routine work of the administration has been closely super vised honesty has been the rule in every nook and corner of the public ser vice, while in ills more conspicuous acts as executive ho lias shown a thorough regard for tho prerogatives of his own office, while conceding the fullest and freest action to every otlier department of the Government. A year that begun under lie shadow of a great sorrow, with apprehension, and with a critical feeling toward the new Chief Magistrate, closed with the currents of business and Industrial prosperity steadily flowing, unchecked throughout the whole twelfthmouth, without even a shadow of disaster, peace, plenty, und perfect order everywhere, and the President enjoying the respect of the whole people as an honorable, upright discreet and ablo man. Had General Arthur been "heady," as Vice Presidents have been when called to perform Presidential duties, had he been a party tighter, or cared less for theintcrests of the whole people than for his own whims and notions, It is easy to see liow the year would liavo been full of irritations, the Republican party at sixes and sevens with the Administration,and the country perforce iu more or less of a turmoil. If that had been the result, General Arthur would have been made to bear the censure of the country. In the absence of all this ho Is Justly entitled to the confidence and good-will of the people.
A lady's Opinion of the, Melville Case. To the Editor of the Express. Sir: The public, if it has any feeling except that of morbid curiosity, owes you thanks for the tone of your comments in this morning's paper upon that unfortunate "Melville derangement!."
We acknowledge- that our admiration for the man who braved so many dangers has been considerably lessened by his permitting this disclosure of that "skeleton in the closet," as it is termed. It requires afar greater bravery to face a living trouble, such as confronted him at all times, than to endure the dangers of the Arctic pole. And when he left home to be gone an indefinate time he knew, it seems, that his wife was in no condition to take care of herself, much less the care of children and the management of finances. It is all very well to commend our loved ones to the care of heaven with the family physician thrown in, but pardon me if I say that it does seem as if they were sometimes forgotten by both and allowed to drift ashore. Possibly"tho ninety dollars did not cover the physician's bill.
She inherited insanity! A disease that needs the tenderest and most watchful care, especially from that one who has promised to cling to her through good and through evil, and to shield her: but in these long years of separation when the weak moments came she drowned them in opiates and stimulants, still further endangering her brain, until under the strain the slender thread snapped.
The whole care of the household, mentally and physically, was thrown upon one known to be wholly unfitted for it by nature. AVasita manly course to pursue? The knowledge of such an inheritance ought to have covered a multitudeof sins, yet it did not even outbalance the deeds of omission or commission. "He hoped to find things changed when he returned." By what means? Did 1# think the anxiety of days and weeks for his safety— (when even uninterested parties were nervously waiting to hear tidings of the wanderers) togethci^wlth the care of her home, would Wild to strengthen tier brain? A novel cure, indeed 1 There would be little need in that case of insane asylums and yet he tested that poor woman's love, faith and pride still further by remaining several days in New York, being welcomed and toasted, and listening to the unpleasant tales of his home that some ready tongue poured Into his ear1 A thousand miles is a long way for a story to travel straight, and we are willing to give "honor to whom lionoc is due but if the faots given us are true ones, then it had been better if Melville had been laid to rest with the others and never returned to divulge to the gossiploving world the secrets of his household that ought to have been held sacred by 111 in.

Borrowing Trouble.
From the Brunswick [Me.] Herald. On the bank of the Kennebec River, a few miles below Bath, lives an old lady. Years ago she cried so"Yiolent ly when about to be married that it was with difficulty she could bo pacified. On being interrogated as to the cause of her great grief, she replied that it made her sad to think she was to live so near the steep bank of the river, where her children would daily be in danger of falling over and being drowned. The lady has now lived there about 50 years, and has never had a child.

THEIJTERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 22,1882.
Great Men's Relatives.
From the Cornhill. Partnerships between* fathers and sons are too numerous to be noticed, but there are" a few curious instances in-which.the father has seconded the son. A certain King in Media appointed his father to a satrapy, and the sire quietly served under the son. But since the hereditary principle first found favor among men, no sovereign can have felt himself altogether a King while his father lived. Philip II- was constantly receiving advice from the ex-Emperor, and must have felt bound at least to excuse himself when he did not follow it. How much the paternal superintendence annoyed him he showed by delaying the payment of paternal pension. There are fathers, again, and more of them, perhaps, than we suppose, who have been content to be the humble admirers of their sons, and to bask in the rays of their good fortune. Old Mr. Richard Clive Lad never thought his son good for much till the news of the defense of Arcot arrived in England, but he gradually became immoderately proud and fond of his son, who joined filial piety to his other qualities. Robert eleared off the mortgages on the family estate, settled £800 a year on his parents, and insisted that they should keep a coach. Mr. Clive now began to mix in fashionable society, and was presented at court. The King graciously noticed him, and asked where Lord Clive was. "He will be in town very soon," said the honest sqviire quite loud, "and then Your Majesty will have another vote," which was true enough, but not intended for publication. One can scarcely be surprised that it was never thought expedient to confer a peerage on Mr. Richard Clive. On St. John's being created a Viscount, his father obtained a similar title, though by some blunder his patent was dated after his son's, so that the latter had the precedence. Their descendant still sits. in the
House of Lords as Viscount Bolingbroke and St. John. The above precedent, however, has by no means been invariably followed. It is pleasant to read how Rowland Hill, when he returned from the Peninsula a peer and a General, quietly took his seat at his father's table in the old Shropshire manor-house, not according to his rank, but simply according to his birth as a. younger son. It is noteworthy thiit Lord Beaconsfield, with his usual good nature, turned Mr. Abney-IIastings into Lord Donington, to lessen the distance between him and his son, the Earl of Loudoun. "The Complete Patron or, A Guide to Ministers," has yet to be written and very difficult it would be to lay down anything more than the vaguest rules for the distribution of loaves and fishes. But there are bright examples to be shunned. After Robert Grosseteste had been named Bishop of Lincoln, his rustic brother called on him^ind solicited preferment. The Bishop replied that if he wanted a new plow or a yoke of pxen lie would cheerfully pay for them but,' he added, "A peasant I found you, and a peasant I shall leave you." The good Bishop might have put the truth a little more politely possibly he feared that anything less than the plainest speech would not be understood. Napolgononce found himself in exactly the

It was quite a surprise to the Emperor, in the lieydey of his glory, to learn that a mere parish piiest in Tuscany bore the name of Bonaparte, and descended from a com mon ancestor with him. Straightway an aid-de-camp was dispatched to Italy to ask the abbe \yluit lie would like. The Emperor wanted him, if only for cept a Bishopric ana it w^iuiitecT the purple would soon' follow. The padre would none of these honors at any any price and ended by convincing the officer of his sincerity. Napoleon shrugged his shoulders at his emissary's report, but did not insist.

To the question, What caused the fall of Napoleon? Talleyrand would have replied in two words: "His relatives." The Prince of Benevent's answer is as correct as any that could be framed. Properly supported by Joseph in Spain, by Jerome in Westphalia, by Louis in Holland, bv- Murat in Naples, the Emperor would have been invincible. Talleyrand tells us that he warned Napoleon of the inevitable consequence of intrusting important interests to men like Jerome and Joseph. Mnke them,' I said to His Majesty, 'arch-chancellors, archelectors, and so forth, as much as you please. Give them any number of honorary distinctions. Do not think of giving them real power." The ablest opponent of Napoleon during the first half of his career committed the same mistake on a smaller scale. Pitt, whose name was considered synonymous with patriot, would not see that his brother, Lord Chatham, was wholly unfit for high office. For more than six years, including two of war, he kept him at tho head of the Admiralty, till something like a public outcry compelled the incapable Minister to resign. Pitt soon recalled him to the Cabinet as Lord President. The second Chatham was so dull a man that George III. hesitated to give him the Garter which he had offered to Pitt, and which the latter at once begged for his brother. Finally the King consented, on the distinct understanding, as lie wrote, that the honor should be considered as bestowed on the Pitt family in general.
Some men of genius, who might have been expected to start in life backed by the eager friendship of powerful kinsmen, have—for all practical purposes—stood as much alone as the typical Scotch boy who comes to London with sixpense in his pocket. Read Byron's account of his first visit to the House of Lords. He seems, one of his biographers remarks, to have had "a keen and painful sense of the loneliness of his position." He could not find a single Peer to introduce him, and this from no lack of cousins in the Upper House. After wandering about for a while, ho made his way into a room where the fees were to be paid— there is never any difficulty in finding such places. 2sext he entered the House itself. Only a few Lords were present, and Byron was afraid to look at them. Without turning his eyes to the right or left, he advanced straight up to the woolsack to take the oaths. In the Chancellor's seat sat Eldon, who tried to put the bashful lad at his ease, spoke kindly to linn, and held out his nand. Byron replied to these advances with a stiff bow, and gave the Chancellor the tips of his fingers. He subsequently offered a lame excuse for his pertness, as oi.e must consider it, remembering Eldon's position, and the fact that Byron was then only known as the author of "Hours of Idleness." "If," savs Byron, "I had shaken hands heartily, lie would have set me down for one of his party but I will have nothing to do with any of them. I have taken my seat, and now I will go abroad." Where, all this time, was Lord Carlisle, whose obliged ward and affectionate kinsman had dedicated to him those very "Hours of Idleness.

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
An Advance Showing of tho Receipts and Kxpenses—Reduction in the Star Service. Washington Special. ii
The official statement of the receipts and expenditures of the Post Office Department for the last fiscal vear, which ended -June 30, 1882, will not be completed for two or three weeks yet, but it is believed that one can safely assume that the statement will show that for those twelve months the receipts exceeded the expenditures by at least $1,000,000. The official announcement will show what have been the results in one direction of reform in the department. The magnitude of the achievement can hardly be overestimated. The people will remember that this result was reached by the honest administration of the department under Mr. James, who cut off $1,500,000 a year of Brady's jobbery.
The cost of the Star Route service under Brady in 1879 was $6,401,830. In 1880 it rose to $7,321,449. Before the fiscal year 1881 was ended the change took place and the work of reform began. The cost for that year ^vas$6,957,355, the appropriation having been 7,375,000. Brady, looking forward to an extension of his scheme, had estimated thq cost of the year just ended at $8,200,000, and Congress gave $7,000,000. In the report of 1SS1 Mr. Elmer declared that if no orders reducing the Star service had been made the sum needed for the current year would have been $9,000,000. There is some difference between $9,000,000 and the sum which the department will show as the cost of tho Star service for the year 1882. It is said that the cost has been nearly $2,000,000 lesB than.the sum appropriated, or more than $2,000,000 less than Brady's estimate.
A Snow-Slide in August.
LeadvHie (Col.) nerald. During the past summer J. W. Morrin and G. L. Berg have been working the Moonlight claim, which is situated on Mount Sheridan above the timber line and just south of the Grand View lode. In consequence of the hard work that would be attendant on bringing sufficient timber to the claim to build a cabin, the men have dwelt in a tent. The recent severe weather cautioned them to depart, and early yesterday morning the fierce winds tore down their canvas shelter entirely. This confirmed the inmates that it was time to leave, and shortly before 11 o'clock they had completed storing away their tools and were readv for a start. The snow was lying on the bare, steep side of the mountain sixteen inches deep and the surface was crusted by the rains of the previous day. The men started down the precipitous path, but they had hardly gone 90 feet when suddenly a great body of the snow let.go its hold of terra hrma and hurled the travelors in tho blinding mass. By some unknown means Berg was stopped just on the brink of a precipice, while his partner, Morrin, was dashed over the edge and fell down an almost perpendicular height of 40 feet Both the men were knocked senseless, but Berg, being the first to recover, instituted a search for his comrade. The latter was completely covered up, but his friend soon found him and restored him to consciousness. Morrin was unable to Wi lk further, however, as in the fall he had broken his leg. Making the unfortunate man as comfortable as possible, Berg hastened to some friends, and after a little delay returned with aid. Morrin was placed oh a hand sled and brought down to timber line, where he was placed in a wagon and brought to this city.

A Peerage for Wolseley.
London Letter to New York World. The jubilation overSirGarnet Wolseley's success, which has been no less universal than exuberant, is already beginning to subside, and the attention of the British public is now beginning to be directed to great and serious questions—how order and a regular government are to be re-established and maintained in Egypt. Sensible people are not only beginning to see the absurdity of the exaggerated boasting of the London press over Sir Garnet Wolseley's dispersal of an army which either could not or would not fight, but also the awkwardness of the position in which •England now finds herself with Egypt on her hands. At first the victory of Tel-el-Kebir was spoken of as something not less tremendous than another battle of Waterloo, but now, as the details arrive, it is beginning to be seen that all the fighting was really on one side,
As it is, Wolseley will certainly get a peerage, if he cares to take it, and a pension for life for what has really been a walk-over, the course thus confirming his claims to be considered the luckiest general alive. All this, however, does not greatly help the ministry to a settlement of the momentous question of the future of Egypt.

The WEEKLY EXPRESS has of
late been greatly improved in all
respects.
It is the purpose of the proprie
tors to make It the popular weekly
paper of the Wabash Valley. The
interests of the people of this sec
tion of the country will be the ruling
object in the preparation of the
paper.
It will contain all the general
news of the week, selected from
the Associated Press dispatches to
the Daily Express.
The departments devoted to In

special features of the paper.
The Express is a reliable Repub

the interests of that party, believin
that it is the party which can best
administer the affairs of the people.
It is controlled by no faction or
clique. In the selection and prep
aration of matter for its columns there is first of all the intention to
serve the public upon whose sup
port it depends.
The proprietors believe, as a matter of business, that if your subscription is once' secured it is their province to so please you that the renewal of the subscription will follow as a matter of course.
Realizing the value of complete and RELIABLE market reports, extra expense has been incurred to accomplish this object.
As an inducement, and no less as an acknowledgement of the favor of a subscription, the proprietors will present each yearly subscriber with a well mounted, handsome and per feet map of the State of Indiana. It shows townships, railroads and districts, and is in every particular just what is needed by every one. For the benefit of the people of the Wabash Valley the map was printed so as to show the adjoining Wabash territory in Illinois.
