The Democrat appeared yesterday afternoon as a daily. It possesses

all

the vigor of the Weekly Democrat, of which it is the outgrowth.

Whatever may be the motive for Senator Logan's fight against the FitzJohn Porter bill, it remains yet for some one to centrovert his statements of fact.

Indiana has become the principal centre of the great American Industry of pres-ident-making.—[Washington Post.

And this is based on what is produced two years before the election. Just wait until about May, 1884.

The "oldest inhabitants" of the District of Columbia have a regularly organized society. What a spell of weather we would have in this section of the country if the oldest inhabitants were to organize on us!

We have a very fine specimen of economy in the attempt of four Democratic councilmen Tuesday night to defeat the appropriation for street repairs. Do these gentlemen prefer postponing needed appropriation until, spring when the blue-birds and candidates are building their nests?

Representative "Joe" Blackburn, who is a candidate for speakership of the forty-eighth congress, says he is willing to withdraw in favor of Morrison if Carlisle will do so. Blackburn says that both himself and Carlisle from the same state can not defeat Randall, but that Morrison can if they withdraw.

The legislature meets io-day in Indianapolis, and it will be seen that from the outset our Democratic brother will begin to "put his foot on it." There are several important matters which require wise action on the part of our law givers. On one proposition the public will await with interest the action of the majority, that is the submission of the amendments.

It is announced that the object of the Indian Rights Association of Philadelphia, organized a few days since, with the Hon. Wayne MacVeagli president, is "to secure for the Indian the same rights and privileges that are enjoyed by our citizens." The great right of the citizen now is the choice to work and live or to loaf and starve. It seems that after all the expended wisdom on the poor red man, he is to be left alone like the rest of us to earn an honest living.

The savings banks of Massachusetts, through their successful management, are doing much to restore the reputation of these institutions, whose name at One time had become synonymous with fraud and the robbery of the poor. The aggregate of deposits in Massachusetts savings banks is $241,000,000, an increase of nearly $11,000,000 in the past year. These deposits are $12,000,000 more than double the individual deposits in the national banks of Massachusetts, or over $81,000,000 in excess of the National Bank deposits in all the New England states. More than 43 per cent, of the population of the state are savings bank depositors.

These figures show that the working people in this hive of industry are saving their money, and that the savings bank, which is peculiarly a bank for the poor, when ably and honestly conducted, will receive the deposits of working people.

The bill pending in the senate regarding the presidential succession provides that the office of president and vice president becoming vacant, members of the cabinet shall, in turn, be the heirs to the presidency. The danger as presented in the present state of affairs arises from the fact that after the 4th of March next there will be no vice president or president pro tempore of the senate, as David Davis' term expires on that day. Should the office of the chief executive become Yacant on the 5th of March, therefore, everything would be in a chaotic condition. Members of the cabinet hold office until their successors are commissioned. It is claimed on behalf of this bill that it will assure the perpetuation of the policy of the executive chosen by the people. The greatest danger of the failure of this very important legislation arises out of the conflicting views in congress as'to the best method of providing for the succession. But it is to be hoped that something akin to patriotic motives may abide with congress long enough to secure passage of some legislation providing for the emergency.

This is beyond all dispute a country where the doctvino of free speech ia

vtr

hichjyere echoed by the peoatadlstance. Upon the railing of The

of the Tmlleru* were men, aon fttflnriincr

carried to its farthest length with impunity* Herr Johann Most, in Chicago, told his hearers,-and insulted their intelligence in so telling them, that they must "kill, kill, kill break into the banks and stores." This is the stuff he addresses to workingmen and which they appreciate for just what it is worth. How such blatant demogogues as Most can be dangerous in Europe is hard to conceive. The only theory permissible is that his hearers are men of a much lower order of intelligence than the workingmen of this country. Most's mistaken idea of the temper of the people in this country was paralleled by the communists of New York a few days since when they attempted to break up meetings called for the purpose of sustaining the penal code. The code as it stands is grossly absurd and impossible of execution, but if the opponents of law and order undertake to pi-event those in favor of it from expressing their opinion, to that effect they will make warm friends for the obnoxious code out of many persons now bitterly opposed to it.

Communism in this country as represented by Most and the Schwab cranks in New York instead of being dangerous is rediculous.

Full Hand.

Cincinnati Enquirer. There is danger that Indiana may be too prodigal with her presidential offerings. The last time they counted there were four of them—McDonald, Hendricks, Niblack and Harrison. Indiana seems to be the nursery ot great men, but she should not crowd the soil too fast.

Not a Musical City.

Denver Tribune. Good music don't seem to bo appreciated in Kansas City. One of the wealthiest residents 1b a pork-packer, and when he was approached by Nilsson's agent and asked to buy half a dozen seats for the concert, he turned up his nose and sneeringly said: "Pshaw! I'd rather hear a two-hundred-pound pig squeal than listen to the finest aria in opera."

It Will Not Die.

Post Dispatch. A new terror has been added to life by the announcement that an Association of College Journalists has been formed, and that these hitherto innoccuous amateurs are going to organize their forces. There wasa time when we fondly hoped that age would wear off the edge of antique college Jokes and entitle the traditional humorous stories of professors to a retiring pension, but now itlooks as if college Journalism would not die.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Country and the Solons Waiting for the Opening of the Legislature.

The Candidates for the Yarions Offices Crowding in From all Over the State.

Bynum, of Marion, Will Probably be Named by the Caucus for Speaker of the House.

Special Correspondence of the Express. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 2, 1883.—The

crowd of statesmen and office seekers at the Grand hotel to-night is as large as the Caspian sea. All the kunnels, majahs, generals, guv'ners and judges are there and appear to be quite happy. About the first man I met in the hotel office was the Hon. Franklin Landers, his face as red as my ban danna and his broad-brimmed hat worn like a scoop shovel, making him appear in all his rural purity. He had not a few admiring friends continually about him, and I thought to myself as he kept up his vivacious talk with this one and that one, that perhaps he was laying the wires for another gubernatorial campaign for 1884. Hon. William Mack was

A PROMINENT MIXER

amongst the crowd, and it was told me that he too has a longing for executive duties. I shall not be surprised that when the next Democratic state convention meets that he will be a prominent candidate for the nomination for governor, and his little levee to-night may be one of the mile-posts in that race.

Jim Willard, the senator from Lawrence county, is to be seen at any time holding an animated conversation with fellow senators, and the indications are that he will be something of a leader in the senate this winter. He is getting to be well known by the politicians and his somewhat remarkable abilities as an orator has caused him to be talked of as a candidate for lieutenant governor two years hence, which is in keeping, I opine, with some of his day dreams for the future. You know his illustrious father was once lieutenant governor after having served in the state senate, and then he became governor of Indiana. I remember that in I860, twenty-two years ago, Jimmie Willard and Genie Bundy were pages in the senate, and at this session they are both senators, Eugene Bundy being the representative from Henry county. This is a nice little story for the school-boys, which they will do well to remember. Lieutenant Governor Hanna arrived in the city this evening, accompanied by his family, who will pass the winter at the capital, with their residence on Christian avenue, one of the most fashionable parts of the city. Governor Hanna was in the hotel lobby for a few minutes tonight and was the recipient of marked attention. He is in excellent health and the best of humor and is always a favorite here. They do say he plays a first-class game of euchre and

CASINO JUST FOR FUN,

and I suspect that he and Senator Bob Graham, the gallant Major Gordon, and Senator Bob Ball, with their ladies, had a little card party up stairs in one of the parlors for an hour or so to-night. Mrs. Bell will pass most of the winter with the senator here, and she will be a charming addition to the society of the city. Their home is in Fort Wayne, where the senator enjoys quite a lucrative law practice. Senator Joshua Ernest, of Sullivan, with Representatives Akin and Patten are here, and are at home mingling with the patriotic populace. This will be Senator Ernest first session, and his introduction into real political life to-night does, I doubt not, give him some new ideas on civil service reform. I saw him for a few

young lady. She went to the room •where the oflender was employed and made ah attempt to assault lier, but

minutes "all surrounded" by a throng of persistant office seekers, and I should not have been surprised had he positively withdrawn from them, but he smiled sweetly upon them, and really seemed to enjoy it, but I will wager that he wished that he was in his bed sound asleep.

THE WORST "BREAK,"

as the young men would say, of the evening, was made by Bernhammer, the eminent German patriet from the Twenty-second ward, who is a candidate for secretary of the senate. Meeting Dr. A. J. Thomas, of the insane asylum, and knowing that he formerly lived in the senatorial district that Mr. Ernest represents, he slapped the doctor familiarly on the shoulder, and said: "Look here, doctor, where in the dickens is Joe Emmet, the senator from Sullivan and Knox I want to see him dura bad." The doctor laughed heartily, and told Bernhammer that the name of the senator from Knox and Sullivan was Joshua Ernest, which in plain English did'nt sound a bit like Joe Emmett, and if he perverted that name he would lo.°e a vote sure. Jim Dowling is now telling it around that Bernhammer has been in his room rehearsing the pronunciation of Mr. Ernest's for more than an hour. It pays to be very precise in politic^ as well as in drinking, as there is sure to be trouble in mixing either. There is' a deal of commotion amongst the attaches of the benevolant institutions since Governor Porter has nominated anew corps of trustees, and they are lobbying to-night with the committees of deck hands dipping water. It is a case of sink or swim with them and they know it. The little piece that they are tellingthe senators is that the future success of the Democratic party, and the nomination and election of Joe McDonald for president, with the subsequent distribution of the numberless fat offices, and in fact the complete salvation of the children of Jefferson and Jackson, depends absolutely upon the rejection of the nominations made by the governor. There is more of it, with an array of exclamation points the length of a whole telegraph system thrown in, than I have given, and the force and pathos with which the piece is delivered is certain to have some effect.

King John Fishback, behind a long cigar of the kind that made me very sick, the day the circus came to the town where I was living when a boy, is in charge of the benevolent institution lobby and from behind the tarift-for-revenue-only luxury mentioned, and a pair of gold rimmed spectacles, he is indeed a typical leading lord of the lobby. He is president of the board of benevolent institutions and wants to stay there. He is the first choice of Jasori Brown and many of the Democratic leaders* and if the Democrats control the benevolent institutions it is saf^r to say he will remain where he is. He is quite a political general and is valuable to his party. That is the kind of a man the Democrats are .wanting in office just now.

Prominent among the legion of great men at the Grand to-night was Jason B. Brown,

THE DEMOCRATIC BOSS

in the senate. He is not one who towers grandly in a crowd of overgrown men. ,but he is a big boss that knows his power. That is the reason why he is so dignified when in the presence of the public, but I have seen him in a little crowd of friends when he was as hilarious as a school-boy on the last day of school. Jason Brown is not an imposing structure, but he don't care about that one bit. 3% ere is nothing really graceful in his walk, nothing majestic in his bearing, as he is just a little bit inclined to be roundshouldered, and he has an easy, swinging pacing stride. He wears a slouch hat, often pulled down over his face somewhat, and bis whole appearance and demeanor indicates the free and easy spirit that dances about in his breast. The poesy in this last clause is far-fetched, but I am willing to have it taken anywhere. Something more about Senator Brown, and I will tell you that he has no superior in the senate as a debater. He is what anybody would say, a fine orator, though he never attempts any flourishing with words. He is a convincing speaker rather, and when he gets "warmed up" he is at his best and can make an impressive effort. He delights the people in the galleries when he speaks, and for this reason, he is better known than most any other Senator. Ten years ago when he was supporting Grant, he made a speech at Poughkeepsie, New York, when Conkling presided, and when he had closed his speech, the great senator complimented him in a most cordial manner,

WILLIAM D. BYNUM

is in the lead in the race for the speakership and has the field against him, with Gibson his closest competitor. If the caucus were held to-night he would be nominated without a doubt and the situation may not change before tO' morrow night when the caucus will be held. He is proving to be a first-class campaigner and has his canvass well in hand. He is making a host of friends and the tide is well in his favor. Gibson is staying iu the race with first class courage, but he seems to be lost in the confusion of the contest. He is not as cool as Bynum and this is against him, as tho average Democratic law-maker goes a great deal on a man who can keep cool who is liable to have a rumpus with the Republicans. Moody is coming forward as a good compromise in the event of of Bynum's forces breaking, but such a pass is not probable, as every man that is for Bynum is for him "until the speaker is elected. He has the benefit of the influence of the Democrats of this city, and that is not to be laughed at, as "the boys" here, such as Misliter Jems Cropsey, Judge Norton, Heiner, Cooper and Clark, know all about "seeing" a fellow. They are doing heroic service for Bynum, and their efforts are having good effect that is quitQ perceptable. Gentleman John Lamb is one of the handsome men here and he is all business. He has

BURT KELLEY's CAMPAIGN,

and the way he is working it is terrorizing to Kelley's opponents. I think Kelley will be "thar or thar abouts" when the last vote is polled, and it may be that he will really get there. Ed Davis, of [Vermillion county, is a candidate for assistant secretary of the senate, and is making a strong fight on Kelley who wants the first place. It is certain that both will not be elected and their contest may result in leaving both out. The fight between Kelley and Davis is thought to be a potsscript to the congressional war between the Terre Haute boys and Davis' father, who was a state senator last year.

Colonel Ed Price, of Sullivan, is here looking on, but is not a candidate for any position. It is generally und'erstood that he will be a clerk of the land department in the auditor of state's office under Rice.

WHAT THE BOSS SATS.

benevolent institutions. He had blood in his eye. "What will the mossback senator from Jackson do about the governor's nominations when they are presented for confirmation?" I sweetly asked him. "Well, I don't think he will vote to confirm them," he answered dryly. "And the other mossback senators—"

They will not vote to confirm them either," he interrupted. He spoke with the solemnity and confidence of a boss in thejfall heighth of his power, and I wilted. "What will be done about the matter?" I asked is my dispair. "A bill will be presented taking, the appointments away from the gcvornor and giving them to the legislature. I have the draft of such a bill in my pocket now, and will introduce it at my first opportunity. I think there is no doubt of its passage, and at an early date. In my opinion, by the 20th inst., there will be Democrats appointed to all these positions by means of this legislation, and they will be able and qualified men."

SALYINI INTERVIEWED.

American Actors Careless in Details— Bow H« Fooled a St. tools Audience. Chicago Herald.

Signor Salvini, the great Italian tragedian, arrived yesterday from St. Louis to begin his Chicago engagement. "I find the American public just as appreciative as ever," said he, "and I have been welcomed back everywhere with full houses. In America the audiences are very enthusiastic, and are prone to applaud the sensational and realistic features of

play, such as

withstanding the defeat Calkins gave him last fall for congress. He is here to help Dick Huncheon for the doorkeepership of the senate, who is being opposed by Senator Hutchinson, tne senator from LaPorte county. There has been an old feud between Winterbothom and Hutchison for years and they never loose an opportunity to have a fight in politics. Huncheon is Winterbothom's first lieutenant, and now that he is up for office all the crowd of Winterbothom's supporters are here to help him. My prediction is that Huncheon will be the door-keeper of the senate. The caucus will be held to-morrow (Wednesday) night.

burst of passion but they do not view the finer

of art so critically as

we do in Europe. In fact, they are indifferent to those little details which go to make up a perfect ensemble. What is the result 1 Your actors carelessly slide over such points, and concentrate their efforts upon the salient features of their parts, which they know will bring down the house, instead of trying to thoroughly personate the entire character, and receive applause where it is deserved. I will give you an illustration of what I mean. John McCullough, in the role of Virginius, portraying the Roman father and patriot, is superb his presentation of the important features of the character is perfection. Yet some of the minor details, through lack of study, are improperly rendered. For example, when he introduces his daughter it is in the style which might be looked for in

prince rather

than a stern republican citizen. Booth comes nearer attaining perfect art than any other actor. His Hamlet, as the evident result of profound study, is an almost perfect mechanism. He lacks, with other American actors, the impulse and soul which is to be desired. This is not due, however, to want of fine sentiment, but probably to the Anglo-Saxon temperament, -which is not as susceptible of great passion as the southern nature. English speaking tragedians, for this reason, are apt to fall into the error of overstraining such rendition on the stage. McCollough throws more soul into his characters than Booth. Acting is an art which requires long and patient study, and the mistake is that many who have the sentiment of art trying to come out as stars without the requisite practice." "Are any new actors of promise coming into notice abroad

There are two in Italy, Maggi and Emanuel, both young actors of great excellence, who are superior to any France or Spain are producing. There are none in England equal to your present tragedians." "Is the taste for the classical school reviving?" "It cannot revive, for it has never waned. The taste of the people does not change. The actor creates the popular fancy for the characters he delineates. When there' are artists able to do justice to Shakespeare there are always plenty of people ready to see him. In Paris they are obliged, by law, to give a certain number of' classical representations a year."

Mr. Salvini further related a joke which he played on a St. Louis audience the other evening, during the performance of the "Outlaw." "Conrad is supposed to die of a broken heart, and the death is gradual and tranquil. I conceived the idea of changing the manner of death for one night, and trying a death by poison. I therefore had a vial ready, which I applied to my lips and made the death scene a painful and violent one. The audience applauded vociferously, and noticed nothing, and further, imagine my surprise the next morning, when the papers came out and criticised the death scene in good faith, saying that such a violent end, and fearful contortions, as the result of a broken heart, was unnatural and not artistic. They had failed to notice the change I had purposely made." Mr. Salvini said this was his third and would be his last visit to this country.

AN ABLE EDITOR.

The Presiding Genius of the New Tork World In His Sanctum. Letter in Philadelphia Press.

William Henry Hurlburt, mentioned above, is perhaps less known to the public than any other of New York's great editors. His life is that of a recluse almost. He is a bachelor and lives in three rooms in the building of the university of the City of New York. The location characterizes the man. The university building is one of the most ideally beautiful structures, externally, in the city. It is of snowy white marble in castellated Gothic style, and occupies a whole block on the eastern side of Washington square, which, with its giant elms and sycamores, sparkling fountain and choice parterres of flowers, is the loveliest small park in New York. Henry James has introduced it to the public lately in his novel of that name, and Theodore Winthrop ensconced his artist, Cecil Dreeme, in this very university building.

No visitor ever enters Hurlburt's rooms. Their portals has no bell, no knocker, no knob only a slit for a Yale lock key, and a large slip for let ters. But they are furnished, I am told, in a style of barbaric splendor. Trophies of travel hang thick on the walls—rare paintings, china, glass, silver and gold arms and armory. The floors are covered with oriental rags and Arctic furs. And there are many choice souyenirs, such as an autograph letter from the Shah of Persia, the letter from the Khedive Tewfik,

fIr.

iving the city of New York, through Hulburt, the famous obelisk, and many other similar tokens of Mr. Hulbert's wide acquaintance among the nobilities of foreign lands.

The editor of the World is hardly known by sight to the general public. He seldom is seen on the street or at any public assembly. I think he is never seen at the office of the World except by two or three privileged members of the staff. He only goes there late in the evening, and stays until the very early morning. At other times he communicates with his lieutenants by means of a private telephone iine. He is a very handsome man, a highly cultivated scholar, and whenever he does emerge from retreat into society, a charming companion and brilliant social star.

Oratory.

J. A. Froude in the Fortnightly Review.

When I was in New York, Wendell Phillips gave a lecture there upon oratory. When I was asked what I thought about it I said he had given A fair account ot the business, but he had omitted one requisite—that the orator should have something true to «ay. I was answered immediately'

that ^he art, as an art, had nothing to do with truth. The less truth the greater the skill needed to produce the effect. Thus tho Americans hold oratory in esteem, but not in the highest esteem. They do not make their neat speakers into presidents. Abraham Lincoln^ the best president they have had since Washington, had a sharp wit, but he never talked spreadeagleism. General Grant hardly ever stood on a platform in his life. A Yankee once observed to me, when he had been listening to a famous performer, "A very small piece of soap will make a deal of froth in the mouth." Indeed, the truly great political orators whoose speeches are an heirloom of mankind, the most finished examples of noble feeling perfectly expressed, have rarely understood correctly the circumstances of their time. They felt passionately, but for that reason they could not judge calmly. Demosthenes stirred his countrvmen with a voice like a trumpet to nght Philip of Maceden. But his countrymen could not fight Philip of Macedon and fell the harder for trying. If speaking could have saved the Roman republic, it would have been saved by Cicero. His orations against Anthony were the finest ever heard in forum or senate. But they were only modulated wind. We have killed the king, he was obliged to say, but the kingdom remains. The mob, who one year made the streets ring with shouts for Cicero, shouted the next as loudly for Augustus. To fight against fact might be very beautiful and noble. The patriot, in his failure, could console himself as Lucas did— "Vlctrlx causa deis placuit, sed victaCatonl." Cato could still think that he was more righteous than the gods. But the gods had their way.

He Can Be Spared,

BERLIN, Jan. 1.—At the imperial reception, Monday, Bismarck said that, in the present position of politics, and now that parliamentary institutions are working satisfactorily, it would cause no misfortune to the country if he gave place to other men.
