The public joins with Michael Moses in lamenting that he did not become a traitor at the time he ran away from Sugar Creek township as a deserter from the draft. His body might have received a bullet and spared the life of a better man.

Michael Moses expresses regret that lie did not go south and become a traitor at the time he ran away from the draft. This he does now, many years after the war, when men who were his neighbors and fought for the Union are around him pursuing the paths of peace. Such a man would beat his wife.

Michael Moses says he permitted the charge of failure to provide to be alleged against him for the reason that he could have suil'ercd that as easily as any other that could bo advanced. Michael Moses entered a denial to the charge in court but it was proved against liim. His wife secured a divorce and it is all over, but we will remark that if the charge against him was a matter coming within his permission lie could have "permitted" a less serious one, the itch for instance.

The I ndlnnapolis Times says that few papers are opposing the government telegraph scheme. Other papers have made the same assertion. So far the Ledger has not seen the scheme advocated by a single Democratic paper, and every one of them that has said anything on the subject lias opposed it. Perhaps the Times does not. read its Democratic exchanges, which accounts for its being so poorly informed.—[New Albany Ledger.

The Washington Herald is a Democratic paper. Its opinions are carefully considered by Democratic statesmen at the national capital. It is advocating government postal telegraph.

The evils following the memorable Democratic legislature are almost unlimited. The Indianapalis Journal of yesterday contained the following piece of news: "The appropriation for the state bureau of statistics has been exhausted, and, right in the heaviest of the work on the annual report for 1SS3, the department is stranded. As there is no available appropriation for the payment of expenses, the chief of the bureau has been compelled to dispense with the services of his assistants, and is now endeavoring to get out the annual report himself, with the assistance of the chief clerk. It will, however, be a very small volume, and will contain just such information as they are able to get together at no expense. In its present crippled condition the state bureau of statistics is only a mockery, and such a report as may be expected from it would be more damaging than creditable to the state. The fault all lies in the failure of the late infamous legislature to make the necessary appropriation."

The Express calls particular attention to the article in the local columns copied from yesterday's tiazatte. It contains a statement from Michael Moses "Vigo county—Sugar Creek township-Ran Away." It also con-

tains statements from Judge McNutt and Samuel Hamill, two of the attorneys for Michael Moses. We consider the one coming from Michael Moses Ran Away as the most damning thing that has been said about him yet. The one from Judge McNntt informs the public that he is acting in the capacity of a friend of Michael Moses, whose other name is to be found in volume 8, page 813, of Adjutant General Terrell's reportunder the head of "Deserters from the draft." Of all the statements perhaps that of Hamill is the toost admirable. Samuel knows the value of advertising, and we rather think any feeling of pride or sensitiveness will be out weighed by the abundant and free advertising he is receiving through his connection with the case. Somehow it gives us a sort of pleasure in seeing him reap benefit in this respect

His love of the thing is refreshing and commands admiration. He baffles attack and henceforth Sammy may be considered as the privileged character of the show. He will disport himself outside the ring, or wherever his adolescent whims may take him. As to the statements of the attorney who is not named, wc will leave the question to the public, or as we said yesterday, to a jury, as to whether Michael Moses has been libeled or slandered. It is preposterit is impossible.

ous

There is much to be said for and against the government adding the telegraph to the postal department, A common objection is that "it is a paternalistic proposition, and would be a large advance step towards the evils from which all the world has suffered— the evils of too much government." This statement is a misleading generality. It infers a large increase of authority and access of power by the addition of a useful and generally em ployed branch of business to a great department aptly described as "a nation working for itself." To support it, it must be shown that the interference by the various civilized governments (municipal, state and national) in the carrying of mails, in the regulation of transportation by land and,water, in promoting education by public schools, by regulating the protection or relief of manufacturing interests and by reg ulating banking institutions, and so on ad. inf., have been accompanied by a curtailment of liberties, instead of the contrary, which is true, that such legislation has accompanied, as a result, the rise of the people and the limiting of the ruling power. Governments have yielded privileges that allowed too much government They have assumed many functions that make public officials the useful servants of the people. We want to look back before the days of good postal service, government telegraphs, and railroad legislation for the government that was "too much" for the comfort of the people. "Governed too much' ought to mean a burdensome weight of official authority, and a tyrannical interference with the rights of the many for the benefit of the few. It does not mean the competition with a monopoly for the benefit of the many. It can not be applied to the carrying of letters, parcels and telegrams by the messengers of the public, if the force should be doubled. If all our higher and well-paid officials were as rigidly accountable, and as easily and quickly displaced as the postal em ployes for incompetency or mistakes we would need no civil service reform To defend the assumption of tele graphing by the postal service it must be shown that it is, or soon will be, of utility to the universal public, that the government can supply the public needs cheaper, at more points and with less interruption than could be done by private enterprise. It is simply a question of time when a citi zen who can afford to mail a letter can also afford to send a telegram—equally so when there will be ten telegrams for every one now. Telegraphing has become a necessity, and is now simply a branch of business and personal correspondence and its universality of use is limited only by the expense. Law protects private carriers, but no law can make private expresses and telegraphs as inviolable as the public mails. They are never interrupted. If they were, a week's suspension would not be so disastrous to financial and commercial interests, so money-losing as the same interruption to the entire telegraph service would be. It is much easier to admit the legitimacy of a public telegraphic service than to elaborate a system equally just and efficient. It can be done if necessary. It will be done if generally desired. It will be right to respect private interests, but not a duty to make the fortunes of certain speculators.

The use of the telegraph would be efficient in the money-order department in the telegraphing of money. The present charges for telegraphing small sums are somewhat exhorbitant There may be a complaint that we ape the English, who have adopted postal telegraphy, postal saving-banks, and a parcels-delivery system which delivers parcels up to 7 Ib.s weight. While not disposed to imitate, it is not likely American speed will neglect anything to promote rapid transit, fast mails, swift expressage and reliable, cheap telegraphing, provided it is practical. The question is not one of sentiment, but of practical cconomy. The talk of paternalism and over-governing is purely sentimental. The discussion of expediency, utility and ways and means is the practical one.

Shysters in the City Council. Indianapolis Journal. The mayor's court is getting more disreputable all the time, and his honor will be soon forced to do something get rid of the legal barnacles and nuis ances that infest the place. Tbe shysters there have a keen eye and a cormorantic appetite for fees. It appears that when money is put up for bail, and when, afterward, the offender comes into court and makes a defense, these fellows try to save their fees by taking them out of the money so left. If the defendants are decided to be guilty, they find themselves short of money, and have to go to jail, whereby, the shysters having paid themselves, the state is the loser. The money of these clients is better than their company, as it costs money to feed them.

POOR JACK CJOIiE.

A Touching and Thrilling Incident at the Inaane Asylum Yesterday. National Republican.

Poor Jack Cole, who was engineer of the ill-fated Arctic steamer Jeannette, and who is now confined at the government insaneasylum, madeasavage assault upon a fellow-inmate yesterday. At times h,is malady, which was caused by exposure amidst fields of polar ice and unbroken stretches of snow, assumes a violent form, and it was therefore found necessary to place him in one of the wards where patients of that elate are kept under, the constant surveillance of four attendants. Jack was standing at the iron bars which inclose his ward, yester: day, peering through, when a lady, accompanied by a pretty little girl, came up to the bars to see the unfortunates who Were pacing back and forth, muttering incoherent sentences and making strange motions with their hands.

At the sight of the little girl, with

foldenfacelighted

tresses and sparkling blue eyes, ack's up. Then, hanging his head for a moment, memory seemed to carry the poor fellow to his own bonnie daughter, or to his old home, and his head bent sorrowfully to his breast. The next instant he was standing erect gazing at the child, while a big tear-drop ran down his weather beaten cheek and mingled with a good natured smile. Then, as. if by some magic power, his clear tenor voice broke forth into a weird sea song, be ginning:

Wo are bounding away. O'er the rolling main, V:' And my bonnie sweet lass is behind.

As he was beginning the second verse, the little girl," gazing into his face with a look of mute pleasure, one of the inmates of the ward, a tall, lowbrowed man, who is considered a dangerous subject, crept up behind Jack and said to him, "If I only had a knife and a rope I would fix that baby,' pointing to the little girl.

The smile on Jack'sface fled instantly, and a look of hate took its place. Wheeling about he dealt the maniac a terrible Dlow with his fist, knocking him several yards, although he was nearly twice as large as Jack. Then before he could recover, Jack unbucklec his army waist belt, and springing upon the half fallen man, dealt him a rapid series of blows with the heavy lead buckle attached to it, making several gashes on his head, from which blood flowed freely. The attendants, who were preparing dinner at the time, rushed up at this juncture and led the men away.

SPOILED BY VANDALS.1

Where Washington -was Born—The Appropriation Buying the Place.'Washington Special.

A Sunday paper says that a young, Washington girl, who told her London friend that Washington was born at Mt. Vernon, expressed the opinion of a very large number of her fellow citizens. She was after all eighty miles out of tbe way. Eighty miles below Mt. Vernon in Wakefield, a township on the river bank, is the spot where Washington first saw the gray light of a Virginia February day. A house stands on the spot, but Washington was not born in it, although Grant and Sherman knocked out a brick apiece from the wall and brought them up in their pockets under the misapprehen sion that he was. George Washington was 60 years older than this house Before the war there was a marble tab let in the wall of this house that in formed the world that it stood on Washington's birth-place. The relic hunters of the army carried the tablet, away peacemeal during the war. A year or two ago congress appropriated 838,500 for the purchase and improvement of Washington's birth place. Nothing seems to have to have been done about the matter, however, until recently, when learning that the projectors of a new summer resort proposed buying the spot and making it yield shekels, the government stepped in and bought it for $2,500. There Were 21 acres in the place. Any other tract of like size in the vicinity could have been bought for $63. However, it had some historical value to .the owners, and the $38,500 ought to put it in good condition. It is suggested that when this has been done it be placed uuder the administration of that admirable board, the lady regents of the Mount Vernon asiociation.

The Education of the Japanese Heir Presumptive. London Dally News.

Prince Takehito, heir presumptive to the throne of Japan, who left that country as midshipman in the Iron Duke, English man-of-war, in the summer of 1881, has at last returned home.

In noticing this event the Japan Mail observes that the education which he has received offers a strange contrast to the system hitherto pursued with persons of his rank in Japan. At 20 years of age he has visited nearly all the civilized countries in the world, taken his turn of service on board an English man-of-war, passed the examination for the rank of lieutenant at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich, and moved about among strangers just as the ton of an English nobiem in would have done. "At 50 years of age, under the former regime, (adds the writer), if he had lived so long, he would have known nothing more of the world than could be learned from rare glimpses through the blinds of a palanquin or the bamboo curtain of an alcove." The prince appears to have traveled under the title and name of Count Sawa.

The Watervliet Mastodon. Troy Telegram. A statement is going the rounds of the press that the bones of a mastodon were found while digging a well on the farm of Edward C. McCleary,'at Watervliet Center, a few days since. McCleary said there had been no change, in the earth at the place for seventy years, to his personal knowledge, until the present While lately digging a well at that place there were found two shin bones, one thigh bone, one rib bone, and a jaw bone. ProL Hall, of Albany, to whom they were sent, says that the bones are those of a horse, and that the animal died but a few years ago, as some of the tendons still adhere to the bones. The relics are in the hands of Prof. Hall, at the Geological Museum, Albany.

lie Indianapolis Bank Mariipnla-

New York Tribune: Mr. William H. F,no liBli does not mean to "hide his light under a bushel. Ho haa issued a letter to the public conveying the information that in coming to the rescue of the First National bank of Indianapolis, which was threatened with bankruptcy, he did so wholly from disinterested motives. Apparently Mr. English feared that the public might be under a different impression. In that respect he was not far astray. If he has suddenly become a philanthropist the public will want something besides a letter advertising his bank to establish the fact.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat: Mr. English, of Indianapolis, is very indignant because his efforts to save the bank with which he is connected are not attributed to disinterested motives. He wants it understood that he has turned philanthropist. There are many Democrats who will cynically observe that it is a pity he did not experience a change of heart before the presidential election. And yet these men do not believe in putting money to political uses. Consistency seems, so to speak, to have "fled to brutish beasts," as Mr. Shakspeare once tautologicallv observed.

Crawfordsville Journal: State Treasurer Cooper withdrew $800,000 of state funds from the First National bank at Indianapolis just before it collapsed. The people would like to know-where he placed it.

lf'Purdue

University.,

Lafayette Courier. President Smart has just returned from a very successful trip to Washington and New England, where he had been in the interests of Purdue. His object was to secure the best talent to fill one or two very important vacancies in the faculty. For the chair of mechanical engineering, which is to be made a conspicuous department, he was especially solicitous to secure a first-class man. We hear tbat in this he has been highly successful, having obtained from the navy service the detail by the government of Major Stahl, who stands at the head in the line of mechanical engineering. A professor of chemestry has been found also in Massachusetts, who will make the fine laboratory of Purdue a place where the chemical scientist will find his paradise.

IN A STILL HOUR

Two Learned Men Have a Talk and Come to a Common Conclusion.

"There can be no question as to that," said Dr. P—, who Is prominently connected with a certain hospital, to his friend, the House Surgeon, as the two sat having a smoke a quiet chat in the reception room late on a recent stormy night— "no question at all." Ever since I began practice in that little country village you've heard me speak of, away up near Lake Ontario, thirty years ago, I have felt —in common with all other physicians— the need of a reliable pjaster. There are so many diseases—if, indeed, the majority do not come under the rule—for which a good external application is better than remedies poured Into a patient's stomach. "That's so, Doctor, and to show yon my faith in your theory, I may say that since I have held my position here, I have opposed the idea of dosing people, except in cases when we were at our wit's end and it seemed to be that or nothing. Some soothing application, lf the patient needs anything, combined with rest and good nursing, will do the business-save where cases of accidents require heroic treatment." "I say. Doctor," said tlie other, "you can speak of it, or not, just as you like, but in my private practice, when I want anything of the sort, I use BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS PLASTER. It's a proprietary thing, of course, but ii is by all odds the best plaster I have come across. It is scientifically prepared, quick in taking hold, sure to relieve where relief is possible, and neat as wax to handle. It Is just the perfect flower of all that has ever been done in that line. I happen to know, too, hat It is being rapidly introduced in the irinclpal hospitals of London, Paris and ither leading cities in Europe." '•You needn't fret, my friend," laughed the House surgeon, "over the chance of being caught In an act of professional hetordoxyv for we use Benson's here every day, and so they do at the other city hospitals. We find it much better than liniments, lotions, etc., that the bottles are actually getting scarce In the house."

Benson's plasters are prepared from an improved formula by distinguished physicians and chemists to meet a want felt for years. You will not be disappointed in them. In the middle of the genuine is CUT the word CAPCINE. Price 25 cents. Seabury & Johnson, New York.

®ieSw^s^r0jManta,6tu Had Scrofula for SeYcnteen Years,

I have suffered from Scrofula about seventeen years. The disease being mostly confined to my legs and ankles, my shin bones were covered with large ulcers and one mass of rotten flesh, and the odor almost unbearable. All remedies and treatments which I tried failed to do me any good. At last I began takings. 8. 8., continuing for about four months, and I AM CERTAINLY WELL. I took S. 8. 8. under the supervision of a physician of twenty-six years' active practice, by yonr order. Previous to taking S. 8. 8. I at times could scarcely 'walk. Now I can walk all day, and I have to thank 8. 8. 8., and it only, for my cure.
