As will be seen in the telegraphic columns the jicople of Mexico are (lis playing some enterprise by advertising lie products of the country.

At last Marshal and Paris have had their pet clubs matched. Looking at the score we cannot see what occasion there has been for all this excitement in our suburban cities.

W call attention to the notice at the head of the local columns for a meet of the Young Men's Kepublican Club Thursday evening. It is important that there should bea large attendance Two years ago the club did magnificent work and it is the intention to have the club be of great service Ibis year.

The Washington Critic, the organ of the Star route defendants some time since published a story that Attorney General Hrewster, while in a state of maudlin intoxication, put his arms around Do'rsev, and assured the latter of is so a at W Bosler, of Pennsylvania wasjj named as one who would give evidence substantiating the story. Bosler comes to the front now, and says in plain language, that it is a lie.

A party of enrolled men have already left for England, and it would appear that a gen d'armerie is already being organized. There are many interesting nnmouvres now to bo observed in Egypt. The purported repentant talk of Arabi Pasha, the bestowal of tle grand cross of the order of Osmanli on the British consul general by the khedivc, and the request of tho khedive to pass by Arabi Pasha's house on his way to Cairo, give a peculiar color to the story of Egypt's troubles. "We shall sec what ve shall see," and a great many people are beginning to be convinced that they knew all -the time that England was looking far beyond the day she "preserved the peacc in Alexandria."

The Republican press of New York State are united in declaring Cleveland, the nominee of tho Democratic party for governor, to be a man of good character and a representative of a new element in the party. He is a candidate on whom all parly factions can harmonize without Inundation. The New York Tribune, the New York Times, the Utica Ilerald and other influential Republican papers say tho Republican party must work in harmony to secure victory. The people of the state are left to choose between two good men. Folger is a man of largo brain and more varied experience, and thus has a great advantage. Since Seward's time there has been no man a candidate for governor who is so fitly prepared for the duties of the office, which are of far more responsibility than any of our western states place upon the chief magistrate. He served at the head of the judiciary coinmitteo in the senate framing the laws, after which he spent ten years in the court of appeals. Altogether, it will be a campaign of unusual interest, and will particularly be a test of party strength on party issues.-

KcBOITALB'S CIRCULAR. Among the interesting documents of the present campaign may be included one issued by Jos. E. McDonald, chairman of the state democratic central committee. A vein of irony and a plaintive touch also can be noticed. It is an appeal to the various district workers to "smash the Republicarf'machine," and it is expected that the workers will proceed to smash the machine by the methods suggested. The fact is admitted that the Republican party is actively at work but McDonald calmly proposes to head it off and put it on the defensive.

Without giving his party orators the slightest credit for the possession of the least imagination or acquaintance with their old party howls he suggests with an air of freshness that they 'arraign' the Republican party for its corrupt use of money in elections, for extravagances in public expenditures, systematic system of bla£fk mail upon government employees, for its refusal to lessen the burden of taxation &c. We can now expect to see- the party that is somewhat out of elbows and emaciated by its long wait for tho public offices proceed to ring the changes on these" familiar points and serenely ignore the actual record of facts that may falsify its charges or implicate" itself. The empty cry of corruption as opposed to the solid fact of Tilden's money, for instance, will not embarrass the average democratic speaker. The position of the Republicans generally in the Hubbell business and its own practices will not be contrasted by the democracy, nor the rapid reduction of public debt and interest alluded to in this to-be aggressive campaign.

Again in large capitals, "the canvass must not turn upon one issue." We should think not, judging from the unsatisfactory results to the Democrats of trying to "bulldoze" the state on the question of tho amendments and by manifestos from the liquor dealers. Says Mr. McDonald, "the Republicans introduced the tariff question into the canvass two years ago at such a late date that we could not meet them, but it is now our turn to present this question." We like this candid admission that "we wanted to meet this question before but couldn't. The question of the tariff will be presented, no doubt, with the happy blending of Mr. Yoorhees' straddling position on tariff and his associates' ideas of free-trade. When other arguments fail, they will always have the 'knit-woolen goods bill' to introduce, and can represent in the usual ingenious manner that a fifteen ceift shirt costs about a dollar. If the statement is not correct, it will serve to put the Republican party on the defensive, while it says it is not so.

Perhaps the most important outcropping is to "make your appeals to Democrnto, there never was a time when it was so important they should stand together." We make no issue upon this, for it is too true, for there never was a time when there was more necessity for something besides the oft-re-peated, oft-refuted old speeches advised above, or when sensible men, Democrats or Republicans, more desired something beyond this little document from J. E. McDonald, chairman.

SENATOR HARRISON COMING. The following letter ^ias been -received REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE ROOMS,

INDIANA vol. is, Sept. 22.

Louis Fiukbiner, Esj., Chairman, Torre Hauto, Ind.: DEAI: STH: Senator Benjamin Harrison will speak in your city on Friday-even-ing, October 5th.

We give you this early information that you may take all proper measures to get up a grand and enthusiastic meeting. Senator Voorhees, in his recent, speech in this city in reply to Senator Harrison, leftawido opening for a counter reply, and your people may rely with confidence that it will be made in manner that will be gratifying to the Republican party. Yours very truly,

W. H. II. TERIUI,]., Secretary.

Senator Harrison's reputation for completeness in his speeches leaves no doubt of the character of1 the effort he will make a week from Friday next. The people of Terre Haute will be pleased to do the distinguished Senator the honor ol a big meeting provided with an abundance of enthusiasm. Senator Yoorliees went to the home of his colleague to deliver the speech replying to tho one of the latter, and now Senator Harrison is to reciprocate.

The amusement season bids fair to be lively and the drain upon the loose change of theatre goers will be increased. The character of the entertainments offered is open to criticism by reason of the general want of merit and originality. The mass of sensational plays are but repetitions of each other. The satiated critic who witnesses a highly vaunted new play, expecting a novelty, is once more disappointed and longs for the discovery of a genius who shall write a really original plav. It is impossible to repeat the old drama, for attempts to do so would result in turgid and bombastic recitations and we fly to the other extreme in which the text of the modern drama is bald and utterly devoid of beauty of diction or depth of thought, the interest of the pieces being centered in a few sensational situations at the ends of the acts, in the make-up of the actors and in the repetition of a few catch-words or gags. The evil is heightened by the evident demand for better work by the multitude, which must be amused. Hundreds of so-called plav-writers, impelled by the desire for the profits of a successful play, hurriedly throw old materials into new shapes skillful advertising agents proclaim another great creation scene-painters and stage mechanics prepare mechanical effects, and the deluded public again rush to see "The AVorld," "Romany Rye," "Youth," and similar vacuities in which the only talent displayed is by the painters and carpenters. The style of the drama limits the growth of the theatrical profession. Performers are engaged to play one part for a sea-

St

son,or for several ,are carefully drilled in 'that, and repeat it like parrots. They seldom can render another part differently. Even Raymond, Florence, Goodwin, Mayo and other favorites are always the same. They give one impersonation under various names.

The conclusion is that the modern drama is usually flat, stale and unprofitable. The great success of the light, very light operas is due to their freshness and /he slight variation be^ tween one and another, but they, too are approaching the stage of universal monotony. The cure will be in the final revulsion of the public taste against the present inane plays.

The statement is made that Indiana has 15,289 citizens on the pension rolls, who receive annually $1,038,325, and with the arrears added they received last year $3,100,315. Only four states exceed these figures.

The following figures are given for this, the Eighth congressional district: Vigo county has 3S0, receiving $40,568 with arrears, $77,079 Warren county has 79, receiving $8,452 with arrears, $16,059. The whole district has 1,249 pensioners the annual value of these pensions is $133,564 and the annual payment, with arrears, is $253,771.

PUBLIC OPINION.

Philadelphia Times, Ind.: Cameron ought to hire Sir Garnet Wolseley to put down the rebels In Pennsylvania. It Is apparent that Cameron can't do it himself.

Chicago Inter-Ocean, Rep.: The campaign in Illinois has fairly begun, and a great deal of earnestness Is manifested in the work. It promises to bea big year for the Republicans.

Cincinnati Gazette, ltep.: All of our agitations. of matters for legislation, whether political or moral, must come do)vn to the fundamental condition that ours is a government by the people.

Cincinnati Enquirer: We notice that Mr. S. W. Dorsev has rented a house in Washington City for a year. It is an outrageous shame that this government does not provide Mr. Dorsey with a residence for twenty-one years at least.

Globe-Democrat: The party that repra sents the real thoughts of a large body of the people cannot go down. It contains the essential principle of life. But the party wherein the.free circulation of ideas and open discussions are suppressed cannot, in the nature of things, be representative, and it will inevitably fail to sustain Itself long.

Philadelphia Press: "It is not more the duty of a good citizen to vote at a general election than of a man who has a party preference to vote at the primary, election. A Republican who takes no part in making nominations has little right to And fault with the work of the conventions." Out it Is always the man innocent of primaries who criticises the nominations.

New York Herald: The nomination of Mr. Ulsliop for Governor by the Republicans of Massachusetts yesterday is the most emphatic and the most practical condemnation that has yet been made anywhere of the men who voted for tho River and Harbor Job. The question raised by this swindle was tho question that mainly controlled the action of the COI1 onUon 1

Indianapolis Review: There's nothing inconsistent about the New Albany Public Press, which, between two items denouncing tho tariff commission and protective tariff, sandwiches in an article showing the great benefit Mr. DePauw's plate glass manufactory lias been to New Albany. Without a protective tariff Mr, DePauw's glass works would have no existence.

Evansville Tribune: President Arthur has made so few mistakes since he succeeded to the Presidency that he stands an excellent chance of being his own successor. The success of Folger before tho New York convention, shows the strength of Arthur in his own State, where weak ness would be most fatal to him. The worst that President Arlhur's enemies can say about him is that he has treated with courtesy men in public life, who are regarded as rascals by the great body of tho people. His visit to Robeson was an ex am pie of this kind.

Lafayette Journal: Ben. Harrison In his speech at Richmond Friday night took occasion to remark that under no circumstances would he be a candidate for the Presidency. This is to betaken, doubtless, with the intcar-lincr reading added, "until I can see a good chance of win ing." This at least, is the construction which the Indiana Republicans will put upon it. We don't want to see Ben killed oil"by a premature birth as a Presidential candidate but there Is no reason that we know of, why, when tho proper time comes, Ben. Harrison might not turn up as available Presidential timber. Ben. is a yonng man yet. There is timcenougli to grow and he Is wise not to indulge the Presidential fancy too soon. The artillery for his Presidential boom will leserveits fire.

And the other traveler takes the cigar and smokes it. [P. S.—Of course it was the polite man's last weed.]

French Fun: Eloquence unappreciated: One fine day, as au eminent advocate was argning a most intricate and tiresome caso before the court of appeals, li# noticed that one of the judges was sound asleep and stopped short. "Pray continue, Brother X.," said the chief justice, benevolently. "Thank your honor, but I did not mean to finish my argument until your colleague has wakened up." "As you please," replied tho chief Justice "but I fancy my colleague does not mean to wake up until you have finished your argument."

M'DOIfAIjD'S GREAT IDEA.

He Proposes to Blow Up the Republlcan Party with Burnt Powder. Indianapolis Times, Saturday.

Chairman Joseph E. McDonald, of the Democratic State Central Committee, has issued a circular letter of instructions to the campaign speakers, which, although not marked confidential, is presumed to lijive been intended only for distribution among the favored few. One of the gentlemen to whom the circular was addressed seems, however, not to have been in tho business of harranguing Democrats from Mr. McDonald's standpoint this year, and accordingly was not careful to regard it as a private communication. He accordingly handed iiio jcsi^raay ior the perusal ana use ol' the chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, and as the circular is somewhat of a curiosity, it is reproduced by the Times, for the special benefit of Democrats, who, being thus informed of the stock in trade of their party orators, will not need to trouble themselves further by attending the campaign meetings.

It will be seen from the circular printed below, that Mr. McDonald, with the consent of the Executive Committee, calls a halt all along the lines as to making prohibition the one issue upon which the campaign is to turn. He must have made some surprising discoveries to change front in full sight of the enemy. The circular expresses alarm, as well it may, at the activity and energy with which the Republicans are pushing their campaign, and urges all Democratic speakers, instead of attempting to make converts, to bend all their energies to holding the Democrats who are disposed to break away from gag law rule. Air. McDonald does not hint that the Democratic party believes in anything worth mentioning—does not mention a single subject upon which his'party has any policy to advocate, but is content with urging every speaker, fust, last and all the time, to "arraign the Republican party." It is evident, therefore, that if Chairman McDonald's advice is followed, the Republican party has little to fear in thiscainpaign, as it has been "arraigned" every two years since 1800, until the monotonous cry of the Democratic orator has lost all potency and influence with the masses of "the people. An amusing suggestion of the circular is that, in 1880, the Democrats were caught napping on the tariff, RUCI could not collect their thoughts time enough to answer arguments that had been used in every campaign since the Republican party was founded. This year, however, Mr. McDonald says they are ready to call the turn, and as Mr. Voorhees and himself are at logger heads upon the subject of prohibition, he probably means that lie is ready to have tariff or free trade speeches made throughout the State, as the demands of the particular locality may seem to render advisable. The great tarifl' document to which he refers is understood to be a reprint of the argument of one of Indiana's Governors who lived nearly half a century ago. These suggestions arc offered "with a vie,w of interpreting Mr. McDonald's remarkable suggestions to his campaign speeches, and the entire circular is as follows:

ROOMS OF THE

DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE, INIIIAXAVOLIS, Sept. 8,1882, Smash the Republican machine." The Democratic Stato Executive Committee take plcusuro In requesting you to make speeches In your county, and, when unictlcnl, In adjoining counties.

TEMPERANCE TACTICS.

Aew Movement in Indianapolis—Pronounced Action of the Local Missionary Baptist Association. ..

Mr. Robert Graham, formerly secretary of the church of England temperperance society, conducted a meeting at Christ" church, Indianapolis, last Sunday, at which all the Episcopal clergynien were present. His argument was that reclaiming drunkards and popularlizing total abstinence was apart of church work, and that only as it became such, could it be thoroughly successful and permanent. He showed what rapid advances had been made in temperance reformation in England that the church of England temperance society had enrolled in its membership 4,000 clergymen and eight of its bishops as total abstainers. Their plan had been, he said, to have a pledge card, which might be relinquished at any time, by giving up the card of membership, instead of its being a life pledge while they invited also the co-operation of temperate people who yet did not entirely abstain, believing that they might be helpful in furthering the ends of the society. Upon the subject of prohibition he said that the society with which he was connected did not-seek to further political temperance, and he was not personally in favor of prohibitory measures but if, as seemed probable in this and other states, it became necessary to take grounds for prohibition

with the combinations

of liquor dealers who were setting the present laws at defiance, he would not hesitate in giving his influence in favor of prohibition. Mr. Graham's address throughout was listened to with marked attention, and steps will be taken, as the results of his suggestions, to form an Episcopal temperance society in this city. When the preliminary measures have been taken to this end it is probable Mr. Graham will deliver another address detailing with more particularity the special methods which have been found to work advantageously among English churchmen.

The Missionary Baptist Association. Curry's Prairie association met with the church at Middletown for the annual businoss meeting on the 22d, 23d and 24th of this month. Eighteen churches were represented that are located in Sullivan, Vigo and Clay counties. At the close of the meeting the following resolution was presented and adopted almost unanimously. Recommendation to our churches:

Resolved, That we hold in follow1 ship no person who persistantly visits whisky saloons habitually drinks intoxicants as a beverage signs any petition to sell votes to sustain the traffic puts his means into the business rents his property for its use, or who sustains it in any way whatever,

The Treasury Department.

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer. Secretary Folger's health was so much improved to-day that he was ablo to go to the treasury department and attend to business. He was waited upon there by many of the heads of bureaus and other friends, who congratulated him warmly upon his nomination for governor. Mr. Folger is deservedly popular in the department. It is understood that he will leave here to-mOrrow or next dav for New York, and that Hon. John C. New, assistant secretary, will be made the acting secretary during his absence. This will be the first occasion of Mr. New's be ing selected for this function, Mr. French having been designated^ on previous occasions, and this confirms the belief that Mr. New is destined to receive tho portfolio when it shall become vacant. It is stated that Judge Folger's letter of acceptance of the nomination and his resignation of the secretaryship will be dated the same day, and they are not likely to be long deferred. It is not anticipated that there will be any change in the general policy o'f the treasury department.

Mr'. New's Own Statement.

Spocial to New York Herald. Mr. John C. New, assistant secretary of the treasury, who is already gazetted for Mr. Folger's position, says: "I have never spoken to the president on the subject, nor has any friend of mine with my knowledge even spoken about the" secretaryship. I would not presume to do such a thing nor ask a friend to do it. I am wholly ignorant as to when Mr. Folger will resign, and if he resigns who his successor will be. I have seen the published statement that I saidl had been promised the office. It is untrue and an invention out of whole cloth."

A Little Uncertain About It. Boston Journal. There was once a gentleman who became known,to a limited fame^because, after living in Boston for eight years and occupying an office within five minutes' walk of Faneuil Hall during mpst of that period, he pleaded ignorance when a stranger asked him where the iinmortal'edifice was, and confessed that he had never seen it. Hand in hand with him down the flowery paths of local tradition should go the well-to-do citizen who recently looked upon the picture of Warren in the Old South Church, now on exhibition at the Mechanics' Fair, and asked a bystander what it represented.

An Anti-Bellum Glimpse of Ben Bntler. New Orleans Time-Democrat. aicture of

I never bring to mind a pictun old Concord without the preface of my first view of the historic town. It was in my bib-apron days. I was taken to a military reunion, called in Yankee parlance a muster, and it was just belore the war. The primary picture in mind is of a rather flushed, heavy miltary man, "well .decorated with gilt trappings, mounted on a restive horse. I was alarmed for the officers' safety he swayed and bent like a young sapling in a storm. Childish philanthropy, at all times credulously innocent, led me to believe the man suffering. So, tugging at the paternal coat, I directed general attention to the horseman. My elders exchanged significant smiles, and mentioned the officer's name, which was Ben Butler. He had partaken of rather too much muster, but cantered off while I stood conjecturing as to how soon he would probably fall, and in my ignorance of the invulnerability of inebriates and babies, wondering if it would kill him, counting it curious that he should be enabled to retain his seat at all. I can never summon the home of the philosophers to mind without the looming up in the fore of the plain face, epaulettes and a full 6gure of Gen. Butler swaying before a background of Concord green. It will be seen the much •besung "memories" are not at all times pleasant it is most fortunate that the late day scholars are not disturbed in their lofty flights and brought to a level by any such unpleasing recallings.

A Disgusted Lancaster Man. I

Allentown (Penn,) Register. A gentleman was driving about Lancaster with a friend from Altoona, showing him the places of interest, and among other places he pointed out to his friend Wheatland, and said it was the home of James Buchanan. "Who's James Buchanan queried the Altoona gentleman. "Shocked beyond measure at the question, our friend replied, "Why, is it possible you never heard that he was at one time President of the United States?" "Oh, yes I had forgotten," responded the intellectual representative of the mountain district "what's he doing now?" The horse was headed for Lancaster, and the man drove to town utterly disgusted with the ignorance of his companion, and he has since vowed that he would never undertake to show a stranger around the city in the future, unless he was thoroughly booked up in history.

How He Pound Comet B.

Mr. E. E. Bernard writes to the Nashville, (Tenn.) American describing how he got the first glimpse of the second comet of the year in that city on the morning of the 14tli inst., and saying: ^'There is one remarkable tiling in connection with the discovery of this comet. A gentleman friend, on the night of the 13tli, told me. that he had dreamed the night before that I had discovered another oomet, and iliai lie noped I would get it tliat night. Sure enough seven hours later I found it! The discovery of this comet lacked but three days of being exactly one year since the" discovery of my comet of last year. (Comet, E. 1881, found on Sept. 17.) The alphabetical numbers of these two comets, for their respective years, represent their discoverer's initials, E. B,"
