"There's the Express asiain making wild charges, this time against the fire department."—Daily Courier.

There is no truth in the report quietly circulated in the city, Thurs day that Vermont had gone 20,000 Democratic.

The last case of smallpox in Evansville was on Oct. 2th, and it is officially announced that the city is now rid of the terrible visitor.

If Butler had been elected in Massachusetts ho would to-day be one of the most prominent candidates for the Democratic national nomination, and would not be subjected to the abuse he is receiving from the Democratic press

The burglar and thiel the newspaper llawkshaws can take care of, but when you call upon the guild to also protect the property of the city from (ire, then we call a halt and insist that.a compe tent fire department be put into ser vice.

Jf our Democratic friends are willing to guarantee that all losses by fire consequent upon an inefficient department will be indicted upon members of their own party, there will be no particular reason for Republicans to complain.

The number of business failures is decreasing, and the stock market is daily becoming more buoyant the corn crop report is favorable, and in many ways things are shaping up for a genuine Thanksgiving. Nothing is needed to make our lot a happy one except a capable fire department.

The Democracy now says the order has gone out for a Republican campaign of sold south and sectional animosity. This is in a certain sense a fact, but not in the meaning given to the statement by those who make it.

The Republican party is the party that defeated the confederacy and passed laws for the reconstruction of those states which undertook to leave the Union, and in doing this it has been compelled to appeal to the people on issues forced upon it by the south. The orders for such campaigns came from the acts of the southern people which were in violation of the laws of the United States and of the meaning and spirit of that equal suflrage granted by the last amendments to the constitution. The whole country has just witnessed the intimidation of a race of people in the state of Virginia. These voters would have voted the Republican ticket if a free ballot had been accorded them. Why then has not the Republican party doubly the right to make such conduct on the part of a Southern state a political issue? Has it not the right to defend its principles as have the Southern bulldozers whose rhapsodical gush has been arising from all over the south on account of the success of their policy in Virginia on Tuesday last? No one talks solid south or bloody shirt when the south is not giving such exhibitions as that presented by Virginia in the recent election.

Certainly our Democratic friends do not expect this race issue, which lias come to us from the war, to be a onesided question. They are apt, we know by experience, to think it is right for the south to glorify the issues for which it fought, and denounce a man in the north for saying anything that might be offensive to a man who lives in the south. Recently we had a marked instance of this sort of logic. Mrs. tone wall Jackson was cordially received in New England. Her reception was the theme for many gushing sentiments from the southern press, but the moment it was suggested that Mrs. John Brown visit the south thus to better cement the fraternal feeling, there were frightful indications of rabies among these same writers.

The success of the bulldozing tactics in Virginia iw stated was an occasion

if* M„ V. *.*.' -J

of great rejoicing in the sottth. Unless the colored vote can be controlled by the bourbon Democracy it is plain to be seen that party intends the colored man shall either leave the south or be held under the absolute control of his former master. The Alexandria, Va., Gazette says:

They (thecolored people) are too numerous to.be deported, and theirassimilatlon with the white race Is abhorred by nature. What, then, must be done with them? If peaceable measures are resorted to they should be adopted at once, for it is plain to be seen that the two races cannot live together much longer, and the negroes, like the Chinese, "must go."

This is the kind of an order that has been given the Republican party, and our Democratic friends ought to know from experience that the Republican party lias been quick to respond to such declarations against the rights and privileges of citizens in the south. The colored man can remain in the south if he desires to do so or he can go to Kamschatka. It is the question of individual liberty and such threats as the above serve, we say, as an order to the Republican party.

To-day is the fourth centenary of the birth of Martin Luther, an occasion that will be religiously observed throughout the Christian world. From a little book published in 1752, which bears the title "Life of Hans Luther and MargaretheLindemanin," his wife, \ye gleam the following information concerning the reformer's parents and his birth:

About the year 1475 there lived in Mohra, a village of Saxe-Meiningen, situated between Salzungen and Eiseuach, a humble peasant, who afterward became a miner. He was Ilans Luther, the father of Martin Luther. He engaged as housekeeper Margarethe Linemanin, who belonged to one of the oldest families of Eisenach, and married her about the year 1479. It is nowhere recorded what her age was at the time she entered the bonds of matrimony, but we learn from the little book above cited that "she was brought up by her parents in the fear of God, and as a good housekeeper," so that "she became possessed of many virtues which caused Hans Luther to take her for his wedded wife, although she was but a poor girl.

The young couple soon after removed to Mansfeld, a neighboring town. We are told that Margarethe Luther, on November 10th, 1483—it being market day—had gone to Eisleben, now a town of Prussia-Saxony^ and that here she unexpectedly gave birth to a son, who was named Martin. Many years after the great reformer had departed this life, there was erected on the site of the humble house in which he was born, and which was destroyed by fire in IflSO, a free home for destitute orphans. This charitable institution for a long time found it very difficult to' maintain its existence, until Fredericli William III., king of Prussia, took it under his protection and changed it into a "Luther Free School." An imposing edifice, the "Teachers' Seminary," now stands immediately in the rear of the old Luther house.

According to some writers, Ilans Luthur and his wife still lived in Mohra when their son Martin was born. On the other hand, "Magister Nicolaus Rsbhalm," relates in his "Church History" that at that time they had already moved to Mansfeld,

Remembering Old Promises.

Kirklin (Ind.) News. Where is the wood that somebody promised to bring us last winter for the News?

An Argument in Favor of Cremation. Toronto (Ont.) News. A corpse interred in an Ohio graveyard was taken from the casket and showed every sign of having been buried alive. Cremation would put a stop to these terrible revelations.

Saw Us at a Bad Time.

Philadelphia Call. A traveled Englishman says Americans have a "tired, dispirited,distressed, overworked look." He has evidently been observing an audience on its way out from a lecture by one of his distinguished countrymen.

Arthur the Best Horse.

St. Lonis Chronicle. Chester Arthur, the American child of fortune, and the sage who is not to be found when mistakes could possibly be forced upon him, appears to-day to lie a better horse than ever to back for the next presidential race.

The Signs Don't Fit.

Chicago News. The sudden and unexpected demise of Beujamln F. Butler reminds us that Lord llacon's signs of short life were fair soft skin, tine soft hair, large expressive eyes, an inclination to slenderness and an habitual shrinking fronvthe world.

The Frog and the Bat.

Chicago Inter Ocean. TKsop took a long look ahead wlirn he wrote the fable of the duel between the frog and the rat, for it seems to have been prophetic of the little set-to between the French and Chinese. It remains to be seen how near he hit it on the result.

Our Reputation With Posterity. Boston Herald. Over 410,000,000 of the public debt was paid last month in a desperate effort to unload the treasury surplus. What a reputation as patient asses this generation will enjoy with posterity, if posterity takes the trouble to think of us at all.

United States Army Commanders The Philadelphia Press says that since the adoption of the constitution, in 1£79, the army of the United States, speaking of it as a whole, has had fourteen commanders, including the present incumbent,_ Lieut.-Gen. Sheridan, who entered upon the duties of the position on Thursday, November 1. The first of these wasBrevt Brig.-Gen. Josiah Hamar, lieutenant colonel of infantry, who was senior officer of the army from September, 1789, to March 4, 1781. Then followed Maj.-Gen. Arthur St. Clair, "Mad" Anthony Wayne, James Wilkinson, Henry Dearborn, Jacob Brown, Maj.-Gen. Macomb, Winfield Scott, George B. McClellan, Henry W. Halleck, U. S. Grant, and William T. Sherman. Washington had resigned from the army before the constitution was adopted.

And bluest sort of blood." "Oh, Ma!"said delicate Louise, "I gained some strength and health I also caught a journalist

Whose brains will gain him wealth," "No time to fish had I," said Nan (Some thirty-four years old), "Vet, staying out to watch these girls,

I caught a dreadful cold." A Wayne county, 111., apple man's crop paid him $6,000. "lie has become old and childish,,' say the old men of each other.

The Republicans discover the old song in the news from Philadelphia. A Milwaukee mother boxed her son's ears, but couldn't send them off on account of the freight charges.

Now that the elections are over, a new pavement on Chestnut avenue could be laid without excitement.

Nobody is astonished to read that Mr. Blaine started in life as a reporter. It is very hard to keep a reporter down.

Private Dalzell does not believe that Mr. Clay used to travel a thousand miles to see a man rather than to write him a letter. "Trade," says Emerson, "was the principle of liberty." This may account for the fact that so many votes are bought and sold here.

A Massachusetts medical examiner stopped a funeral procession to make an autopsy of the remains of a man who had been crushed by a heavy stone while at work on the streets.

A cat show has been going on in Bos ton for four weeks. A cat show doesn't amount to much unless itcan go on in the same room with a dog show that is to say, it should have a dog show to back it up.

Retiring editors in Iowa will here after go out quiely, and let the public discover the change for itself. The Keokuk News presents a bill of $12 against its former editors for the pub lication of his resignation of the editorship.

Prophetic alarmists seem determ ined to destroy the world, and since the prediction of Mother Shipton failed of fulfillment, recourse is had to an old French stanza, which puts the positive dissolution of mundane affairs down for April 23, 1880.

New York Mail: "On the social black list," which has been annonymously printed and distributed, are the names of the "society men" who are always ready to accept invitations, but who have never been known to reciprocate, and who have openly boasted that they never intend to get married.

The city of Halle possesses one of the most interesting relics of Luther a cast of his face, taken after death, in the night between the twentieth and twenty-first of February, 1546, when his corpse, while on the way from Eisleben to Wittenberg, lay in the city church, now St. Mary's, in Halle.

After a temperance sermon had been preached in an English country town two weeks ago, a collection was taken up for the benefit of one of the temperance societies. Three gentlemen passed the plates. One was a wine merchant, one an excise officer, and one a brewer's traveling salesman.

A Brooklyn daddy is suing for$3,000 damages because a teacher spanked his unruly brat. If the schools of Brooklyn could be put into the hands of Brooklyn parents such unseemly lawsuits would be avoided. It is a great error to suppose that a school is best managed by the teachers employed in it.

Governor Roberts, of Texas, refused to issue a Thanksgiving proclamation during his term of office, saying he would do nothing to "blend cliuich anil state." Some curiosity is felt in the state to see what course Governor Ireland, his successor, will pursue in this respect

In the late Iowa election the Republican candidates for the legislature received a total of 194,599 votes, while the opposition candidates received an aggregate of 203,918 votes. This shows a fusion majority of 9j319 against the Republicans, and nothing saved them the legislature but a failure of the opposition to concentra'e on fusion candidates.

General Francis Bates Pond, the father of "the Pond bill," noted in Ohio politics, had an eventful career. The son of a Congregational minister, a collegian, a wanderer in the Huron wilds, a pinched schoolmaster, a lawyer, a private, a captain, a colonel, and a brigadier from 1861 to 1865, and finally a Prohibition leader in the Ohio legislature, his life was busy indeed. His death, a few days ago, occurred when he was fifty-eight

Adopting the Standard

Personal and General Mention. Lon Robbing is back again on the Vandalia.

S. G. Tilley, yard master at Mattoon was in the city yesterday. H. W. Gays, general freight agent of the I. & St. L., came up from Evansville to-day.

Col. Joseph Hill, superintendent of the Vandalia system, says that by De cember 15th trains on the Logansport extension will be running to Plymouth Ind.

A meeting has been lield in Sullivan for the purpose of leasing the Sullivan & Bloomfield nairow guage road to the Bloomfield & Bedford line, owned by the Indianapolis Rolling Mill company. It is understood preliminaries have been arranged and when com pleted the Bloomfield & Bedford com pany will operate the road from the Wabash river to Bedford.

Indianapolis News: Commissioner Fink is urging the railroad companies in Indiana and Illinois to organize pools at all the competing points in those states. Among the places named are Cleveland, Dayton, Columbus and Springfield, in Ohio, Indianapolis: Terre Haute, Evansville, Lafayette and Logansport in Indiana, and Peoria, Bloomington and Decatur in Illi nois. He favors organizing the pools on a money basis. The I. B. & W company is disinclined to go into such a pool at Indianapolis until it has operated its middle division long enough to determine its proper percentage.

The Hunter spark arrester has beet? introduced on the L., N. A. & C. railroad. Mr. Davis will go to Milwaukee to see the Milwaukee Central officers, who it is thought will adopt the inven tion. The Vandalia officials have inti mated their intention of placing these arresters on all their engines as soon as possible. A stock company has been organized consisting of George Hunter, General M. C. Hunter and Mr. Van Nuys, of Bloomington. A contract lias been made with the 1'hoe nix Foundry and Machine works, whose splendid facilities will enable them to turn out the arresters in any pattern as rapidly as desired.

By Associated Press. The Ohio River Pool. CrncACio, 111., November 9.—At a meeting of the representatives of the Ohio river pool lines operating in conjunction with them to-day, it was agreed to maintain the rates to all competing points.

The New Time.

HICAGO, 111., Nov. 9.—All the railroads running into this city will adopt the new schedule standard time, commencing next Monday, with the possible exception of the Burlington road, which has not yet decided. The time for this or the central division is nine minutes later than Chicago time.

A New Road.

NEW YORK, N. Y., NOV. 9.— The announcement is made here that a company has been formed to build a railroad from Danville, 111., to Ritchie on the Chicago division of the Wabash, St. L. & P. railway. The incorporators named are Jay Gould, Russell Sage, T. W. Hopkins, New York Jno, E. Green, Louisville. The directory is one half Wabash people, the other half Louisville & Nashville officials. The road will form an air line between Chicago and south Missouri, Wabash and L. & N.

Not to Adopt the Standard Time. HICAGO, 111., November 9.—The Illinois Central railroad management has decided not to adopt the new standard time soon to go into effect, but is getting out anew time schedule based on Chicago time. The reason given for this is that its numerous suburban trains must necessarily be run on Chicago time, and to run its other trains on a different schedule would mix up matters and increase the danger of accidents. If the city of Chicago should adopt the standard time the road will do likewise.

Validity of Indiana Insurance Laws. Special to the St.Louis Globe-Democrat.

I NDIANAPOLIS, Ind., November 8.A case of considerable interest to insurers and insurance companies, involving the validity of the insurance laws of the sta*e, arose to-day. Manager Ashbrook, of the local board of Underwriters, caused the arrest of Octavius Pierce, as an agent of the Boatman's Fire and Marine Insurance company of Pittsburg, Pa., for doing business in the state without having complied with the in°urance law governing such matters. It is understood that the prosecution has entered on the authority of the auditor of state. Mr. Pierce is from Chicago, and it is said for him that, he is not an agent for any insurance company, but is a broker who places the insurance wherever the insured party may suggest, at much less rates than is charged by the board companies locally managed by Mr. Ashbrook. ne came here upon invitation of business men who complained that the local rates were excessive, and for that reason prefer to place their insurance with non-board companies. It is said that were a loss to occur, accompanied by a refusal to pay, the party insured could not recover Dy suit in the state, inasmuch as the companies carrying the insurance are not represented by agents within the jurisdiction of the state.

Darwin's Belief.

New York Tribune. A work recently published in England contains the following letter from the late Charles Darwin, the naturalist, penned not long before his death: "It seems to me absurd to doubt that a mau may be an ardent Theist and Evolutionist You are right about Kingley.

Adopting the Standard Time. Governor Crittenden, of Missouri, has issued a proclamation in which after reciting that it will greatly conduce to the comfort and convenience of all interests, industrial, commercial and scientific, to adopt a standard time uniform not only in Missouri but throughout all our neighboring states, argues "the adoption of the railroad standard, or what will be known as the 'central time,' by all corporations, municipal and otherwise, and by all citizens in the state of Missouri, and I further recommend the new standard be adopted from and after the date fixed by the railway companies to-wit, at noon the 8th day of November, A. D., 1883. -i

What my own views may be is a question of no consequence to any one but myBelf. But, as yon ask, I may state that my judgment often fluctuates. Moreover, whether a man deserves to becalledaTheistdependsonthe definition of the term, which is much too large a subject for a note. In my most extreme fluctuations I have never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a God. I think that generally (and more and more as I grow older), but not always, that an Agnostic would be the more correct description of my state of mind." Iggqf

Are English men Mercenary In Marrying. London Times.

ANONBURY, Oct. 23.—You have statisticians of every class address you, but I am not aware that any one has called attention to the predominance now of marriages where there is some supposed immediate pecuniary advantage. The list of marriages in the Times of this morning, for instance, announces three-fourths to have been contracted by ladies who have presumably benefitted by the death of either father or husband. Twenty marriages are announced, out of which number only six wives have a father living, two are widows, and twelve are father less. RICHARD HERRING.
