The governor's message is a very long document in its untirety but it is interesting milling.

Five weeks liuve been consumed in the second trial of (he star route ring, and apparently the case is not half through.

The roar of the McDonald boom which was heard as if at a distance, in Indianapolis, night before last, has not reached this far west.

The Hon. liayless Ilanna announced at the Editorial convention in Indianapolis, that he expected to see McDonald leading his [tarty t.o victory in 1S8-1.

They are getting it down to the American standard in Kussia. The telegraph this morning states that the assets of a ban! that failed for "some millions of roubles" exclusive of a desk, stove, etc., are "twenty-nine roubles."

A dispatch from Milwaukee regarding Herr Most's visit to that city, is full of philosophy. It says he is not meeting with-much success, because nearly all the former Socialists have (juit the society, having become property owners.

Bismarck and Gladstone talk of retiring. Gambetta is dead. Beaconsfield is dead. These were four very prominent characters in iMiropean affairs whose absence in the dealings of nations would be something more than noticeable.

Governor Porter calls attention to the fact that for two years past the state's expenses have been lower than for many years preceding. In a number of respects the document gives evidence that Indiana is prospering and advancing in perfect time in all that is good and lovely.

The Cincinnati News, great Democratic organ, says Mr. Hendricks is butting.his head against the wall of reform. The Cincinnati Enquirer, great Democratic organ, reminds Mr. Pendleton that Mr. Hendricks has improved in health. And all this on account of civil service reform.

Mr. Ford, greenback member of congress from Missouri, interrupted the proceedings of the house yesterday by rising to a question of personal privilege and "characterizing'' a dispatch to the Globe-Democrat as being "imqualifiediv false.'' The disjiatch, it should be known, charged him with being a "crank" and "obstructing public business-"

The details of the robbery of the Tennessee State Treasury have not come yet out. We shudder in anticipation of the statement that Treasurer Polk is a "direct desccndent" of the ex-President, There was one of the Polk's who was a fighting bishop during the war, but to have the name connected with a defalcation would be too bad, especially in Tennessee.

I-iter—It is too true.

The mayor has a level head and it is fortunate for New \ork that at this time such a man has been put in the chief oflice of the city.

M'DONALD—HENDBICLS.

The Former Nominated for Prcsident by Indiana Editors.

The Latter Writes a Letter to Kill the McDonald Boom, and Butt Out Hig Brains Against the Wall of Reform,

Indianapolis Special to Gin. News. The Democratic editors held a meeting in the Supreme court room tonight, to add impetus to the McDon aid presidential boom. A large crowd of legislators and politicians were in attendance, and everything seemed to be arranged perfectly for carrying out the object of the gathering."-After few unimportant speeches by visiting statesmen and others, Dr. W. F. Sherrod, physician at the Southern peni tentiary, and one of the leading Dem ocratic lights in southern Indiana, formally nominated Mr. McDonald for the presidency on behalf of the Democrats of Indiana. The nomination was received with tumultuous applause, and the distinguished gentleman responded. He did not grieve the party by declining the honor, nor yet is he on record as accepting it. He plunged at once into the subject of civil service reform and the tariff. On the former subject he said "The Pendleton bill did not meet with his approval, although he was in favor oi necessary reform," but he did not explicitly declare what he was in favor of. As to the tariff, he thinks a reduction of internal revenue taxation should wait upon tariff revision. "When he had finished, John W Dodd, a warm friend of ex-Governor Hendricks, arose and fired a ten-page letter from his chief into the meeting, and, like his recent reference to that

persoi^ the communication from Mr, Hendricks did great damage to the recently revised and amended McDonald boom.

THE HENDRICKS LETTER.

Governor Hendricks' letter, after in sisting that Democrats must reap the fruits of the recent victories, says: "By unprecedented majorities and over vast regions of country the party in power and its management of public affairs have been repudiated. At such a time and with the popular judgment unanswered, we are told that it is statesmanship and an assurance of better government to provide by law that the officeholders, who have been the party agents and instruments in manitaining the measures and policies so condemned, shall be made more permanent and secure in their offices 'han ever before. We know that the for the control of the patronstrugKi. "nted*Powerful party, butage has disr** the banner of the people v'no ion**,. They reform cared naught for ,»_ "ile are for the improvement of their service, not for the strengthening of the party. If partiality and favoritism has so prevailed that states and sections are denied their just proportions of the patronage, let it be regulated bylaw. If it be found expedient to appoint examiners after the manner of the school system, let that also be done. I will have faith in it when I see its fruits. But when the officeholding class is made permanent by law, or the removal made difficult, I will expect frauds to become more secure and reform more difficult. Changes in the agents that transact public business facilitate the discovery of whatever ought not to be concealed. To guarantee a pure republic, I do not think we need to establish an office-holding clas3. During many administrations by the Democratic and "Whig parties official frauds were almost unknown, with the absolute power of appointment and removal in the hands of the president and his secretaries. When Mr. Guthrie was secretary of the treasury it did not require that he should be stripped of the power of removal to keep the employes of his department from misappropriating the public money, [n accepting the nomination of the

St. Louis convention for vice-presi-dent I said what I then thought on this subject, and what I yet believe For more than twenty years the Re oublican party has been in power. It las been proscriptive and selfish. From year to year, and from administration to administration, it has become conspicuously so. To provide places for the increasing demand of its ollowers it has added to and increased the number of public offices and employments until now those engaged in the civil service of the country and )aid out of the treasury, exceed one tundred thousand. In the army of hundred regiments of office-holders no Democrats are allowed. Upon the demands of partisan hate and greed they are rigidly excluded. But "partisans should stand upon guard" has been the watchword, and "To the victors belong the spoils," has been the demand and inexorable policy. It has served a man for naught that he has been known as honest and faithful. It has been all the same that he has fought for his country in war, won laurels, and suffered wounds.

In the distribution of their country's employments and in the enjoyment of its honors they are pushed aside, only because they have not served the party and its managers—pushed aside for men lacking their merits and qualifications. The expectation prevails that the Democrats will carry the election of 1884. That expectation may not be realized, but being entertained now to legislate so as to exclude them from the usual control of public affairs could only bo justified by a want of confidence, and would be an indignity and an insult to a majority of the people. A minority, defeated at the elec.ion, have no rightjto oiler such an insult.

Wolseley's Rewards.

London Truth. Lord Wolseloy complained last week that his campaign in Egypt was not honored as it ought to be. What would he have? He has received a peerage, and £50,000 is to be voted him. He has been made a full general. He has pranced through the streets of London at the head of his troops. He has had dinners without number given to him. The numerous officers whose exploits he has celebrated have been promoted. He and they have been covered with orders, English and Egyptian. I wonder what he expects ought to be his reward were he to vanquish a real army, instead of driving before him a herd of panic-stricken fellahs, like a Scotch collie dog would a flock of sheep? He would probably insist, like Caligula, that any pestilent scribbler or other such objectionable person who ventured to question that lie was more than human should be instantly executed without benefit of clergy.

those who feat the downfall of the Republic as a consequence. It will be remembered that the same fears were excited when the President Marshal MacMahon went out of power, and when the guiding hand of M. Thiers was paralyzed by death.

These fears grew largely out of the chances that took place when France was under personal government when power was concentrated in the hands of one man, King or Emperor, whose death or overthrow meant a revolutionory change in public affairs.

But the republic was built, like our own, upon a broader basis, and sufficient "time has elapsed for it to settle upon these fonndations. There were kings before Agamemnon and there will be statesmen and patriots after Gambetta, not, perhaps, combining his' extraordinary capabilities, but of sufficient force to hold the republic steady to its course, and without the danger which his existence and possible return to poorer menaced of involving the republic in an aggressive foreign policy.

LUCKY'S LUCK.

Saved Almost by a Miracle.

Hunted Down and Shot by a Wronged and Desperate Woman.

Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., January 4.— "Lucky" Baldwin, the well-known San Francisco millionaire, again established his claim to the nick-name today by his narrow escape from death at the hands of an enraged woman, who had sworn to shoot him. The affair occurred at the Baldwin hotel, and caused a great sensation throughout the city. The general sentiment was that it was unfortunate that the woman did not succed in her attempt.

Officer Baker, who was passing, was called it, and found Yerona Baldwin in one of the hallways, holding a smoking pistol in her right hand. On the approach of the officer she warned him to keep off or she would shoot him. After engaging in conversation with her for a short time, Baker made a spring and grasped her, at the same time taking the pistol from her hand. Baldwin rafused to go the station to prefer charges against the prisoner, jut sent his niece, Sirs. Carroll and her husband, with whom he had been talking when shot.

At the time of the shooting, Baldwin had just left his room with his niece, Mrs. Carroll, and was on his way to the hotel, where he had an appointment with Mr. Carroll. As they walked along the hall they passed Miss Baldwin, who appeared to be going up the corridor, but in reality she turned, and when they got about six feet from her thejT heard the click of a pistol. Mrs. Carroll turned and saw Miss Baldwin with her arm extended, but not in time to give an alarm. After 'he shot Mrs. Carroll fainted, and Ttoirin,

the

fact that the hammer Oi F9 pistol i,\as caught, was not able to fire another shot. Baldwin ran into another room with a gentleman who had rushed out on hearing the shooting, rapidly followed by his assailant, and it required the united efforts of both to prevent her from entering. In fact, she once bad the door open a few inches before it could be securely locked, fehe acted like a tigress. By this time an officer had arrived oil the scene, but it requiied every effort to arrest her, as she was very violent.

Upon being conveyed to the city prison, Miss Baldwin was placed, in one of the new cells, and a charge of assault with intent to murder booked against her. She says that she is a cousin of Baldwin's, and claims to have made his acquaintance about three years ago, and that after repeated attempts he succeeded in ruining her. He then sent here to Santa Anita, where she was employed as a school teacher. The story of her fall followed her, however, and she returned to this city, where she has been for the last three weeks. After making numerous calls on Baldwin to endeavor to induce him to right her, she at last determined to take his life. The weapon used was a small Colt's five-shower, the cartridges setting well back in the chamber, and evidently containing but little powder.

Miss Baldwin is young, prepossessing in appearance, and converses rapidly. Owing to her excitement, growing out of to-day's affair, she is somewhat nervous and restless. She says that Baldwin ruined her in body and mind, and refused to provide for her support. She also says that she has, by her own work, supported herself for the past six vears. The girl says that her father lives in Oregon, and that her mother is dead. She met Baldwin about three years ago, and he procured for her a situation to teach school at Santa Anita ranch. It .appears from her story that something unpleasant happened at the ranch and she decided to leave. It is here the belief that Baldwin did not want her to remain there longer. Then she returned to Oregon, and after staying there awhile came back to San Francisco, and stopped at the Russ house.

A gentleman in this city who knew her in Oregon says Verona, or Fannie Baldwin, as] she was known there, was a graduate of Forest Grove university, in Oregon, and was regarded there as very respectable. She called on this gentleman a few days ago, and requested his help to find a position. She then said there was something the matter with her head, and she had half determined to take her life. Her attorney believes she is insane, and the prison officials, from a study of her conduct, coincide in this opinion.

Disrelai's Courtesy to a Young Member. London Truth, Dee. 20.

A little incident which happened to Mr. Fawcett shortly after he took his seat in parliament is worth noting. He had ordered his dinner in the dining room of the house one evening, when some one came up to him and said: "Professor Fawcett, as you appear to be alone, have you any objection to me dining at the same table with you Mr. Fawcett replied "certainly not," but with rather puzzled aypression. He could not imagine who the speaker was, for he failed altogether to recognize his voice. His unknown companion, noting his perplexitv, said quietly: "I see you don't know who I am. I am Disraeli." Mr. Fawcett could hardly believe his ears, and for once in his life was fairly taken aback. This little act of friendly good nature on the part of the great Tory leader toward a young member whose views were so utterly and irreconcilably at variance with his own, touched Mr. Fawcett very much, and in spite of their political differences and their passages of arms iu aftot vears, the recollection of Mr. Dislaelrs graceful courtesy on that occasion 1not of ways remained vividly in his mind.

GAMBLING ON 'CHANGE.

The Awful Eecord New York Made last Year. N. Y. Tribune.

The sales of wheat in New York in 1SS2 exceeded 650,000,000 bushels, for the reported sales in the, produce exchange alone ere over 647,000,000. Inasmuch as the quantity received in this city was less than 45,000,000 bushels, it is evident that about nineteentwentieths of these sales wereanere gambling transactions, for a large part of the wheat received here is not sold at all, but merely passes through on its way to consumers abroad or in New England. The sales of corn amounted to nearlv 450,000,000 bushels, though less than 16,000,000 bushels were received. Over SO,000.000 bales of cotton were sold, and the entire quantity delivered, both on future contracts and on spot sales, was less than 500,000 bales, so that the gambling transactions were to those that may possibly have been wholly for legitimate purposes as 60 to 1. In the oil market, however, the case was even worse.

Monday morning last John D. Miller and wife, of Newburg, accompanied by their small family, arrived in this place on their way to seek a home in Maryland. They had with them a child prodigy which was indeed a curiosity. It was born in Ferguson township, this county, February 1, 1805, and therefore is seventeen years of age. It weighs twenty-two pounds and'is twenty-live inches in heightThis wonderful pigmy is of the female sex, and is perfectly helpless, although it can cry lustily, and partakes of no food save milk, which is given it through a bottle. It is very quick in noticing objects and knows what is told to it, but cannot utter a word. A sister who had been away for three years was instantly recognized bv it on her return, and it seamed delighted to see her.

The firemen learned just where the stock of powder was kept, and Hutchins volunteered to go in after it. He elimed through a window, got down on his knees, and crept toward the spot to which he had been directed. The smoke was stifling and blinding. His hands touched one huge copper box containing powder, and he carried it out. Then ho went back for another box. The copper burned his fingers, and as he sprang out the flames followed him, but the powker was safe under the effect of a powerful stream of water.

A DAY FOR FIRES.

A Boiling Mill at Cohoes, New York, Burned.

A Half-dozen Disastrous Conflagrations in Yarions Places.

COIIOES, N. Y., Jan. 5.—The rolling mills of Morrison Colwell & Page are burning. The pilot mills of P. Gugerty and the tubing works of A. G. Curtis & Co. are in danger. A high wind is blowing.

The fire originated in the wheel pit of the rolling mill. Work was suspended last Friday for repairs, and was to be resumed this morning. During the severe cold last night the wheel was frozen in the pit. The engineer began thawing it out by the usual process, when, by some accident, the oil can caught fire and the flames spread with the most wonderful rapidity. The firemen did splendid work and successfully diverted the fire from the central portion of the city, which includes the great knitting manufactories. A more rapid fire was never seen. Inside one hour from the time the oil took fire in the wheel pit the .entire works had been consumed, and nothing was left but the furnaces and their chimneys.

The flames drove the workmen away so quickly that they had no time to think "of drawing the furnaces. Hence the loss is much greater than it 'otherwise would have beeii as the iron will now have to cool in them and they will then have to be taken apart.

The total loss on the rolling mill, as now estimated, is half a million dollars. The insurance is about $75,000. The flames were driven to the pilot mills, which were soon enveloped.

The sight ivas a grand one. The fire ran riot through the oily and combustible material' and communicated from one story to another with great rapidity. Within five minutes this immense brick structure was totally enveloped in flames aaid the firemen utterly helpless to stay its progress. Soon the gasoline tank exploded, rending and leveling the walls. The loss on Gugerly's mill is $10,000 insurance, $75,000. Powers & O'Brien's mill occupied a portion of the pilot mills building and are involved in the general ruin. Their loss is $30,000 partially insured-

Soir{ii BENn, Ind., Jan. 5.—'The planing mill of Hudson Bro.'s, the furniture factory of b'ruith & Delting, the plaining mill of Hartzell & Hart wan, the South Bend Pump company, t? assell's Plow company, and Silky & Ware's machine shop burned last night. Total loss, $80,000 insurance, about $25,000.

BALTIMORE, Md., Jan. 5.—The flour mill of C. D. Ander, Carroll omii ty, burned. Loss, $25,000: insured .tor half.

DAVENPORT, la., Jan. 5.—T. Rich.ter's cap and fur store burned with a number of other buildings on Second street. Loss, $50,000 insured fully. This was the chief cause of the assignment of the firm.

NEWBUIIGII, N. Y., Jan. 5.—The buildings of Ward, Stanton & Co., boat builders, was damaged by fire to the amount of $60,000: insurance, $45,000.

PETERSBURG, Va., Jan. 5.—The large freight and depot building of the Nor-iir-x— 1

The Storm.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—Snow about three inches deep and the storm continues. In the northern part of the state the thermometer is eight to ten degrees below, and at Quebec nineteen below.

CnicAGo, Jan. 5.—The weather is cold and threatening more snow. Reports from all parts of Northern Illinois and Iowa are that trains are continually delayed. None abandoned yet. In the far north the thermometer is very low, but the weather is moderating.

Business Failures

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—The failures of the past seven days as reported to E. G. Dun & Co. number 224 and are distributed as rollows: Eastern states, 24 western states, 72 middle states, 38 southern states, 42, Pacific states, 15 New York city, 17 Canada, 16.— Compared with last week this shows an increase of 31, but the number is doubtless swollen by the numerous small assignments made at the close of the year, though the parties had virtually tailed long before.

An Offer to Vignaux.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—An offer has been made to Viguaux, the French champion at billiards, looking to his coming here for a six month's engagement. It is said that $5,000 has been offered to him for that time in addition to the payment of his traveling oxpenses. New York players say that this is a sum that Vinaux will not refuse. His answer is expected very shortly. If he comes there, will be a tournament in New "York in February or March, and one in Chicago later.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—In response to the house resolution calling for information as to the probable amount of appropriations available for the improvement of rivers and harbors which will be on hand at the close of the current fiscal year, the president to-day transmitted* a report from the chief" of engineers, estimating the amount at $5,000,000.
