paying more money into the state treasury than it drew out. The cities of In* diahapolis, Ft Wayne and Evansville haTft been drawing thooasnds of doilazs more for school purposes from the state treasury than they paid in. This year the enumerators were impressed with this fact, 'and urged to make efforts to secure the name of every person in the city Entitled to school money. The enumeration found that the city had increased woiiderfully in population in the southern portion, in the northeastern and in all thk suburbs. The enumerators find that kt least 15 per cent, of the increase is from the increase of population, nnd the remainder those who have not heretofore been enumerated. Heretofore the enumerator has gone to the door and asked whoever appeared forthenumber of children of school age. No inquiry was made as to the number employed in the family who were of a school age and entitled to school money. Although our school population has increased to 12,363, we are at leak 4,000 behind Ft. Wayne, a city which, with a fair count, docs not Exceed us in population. According to the sehooi census of Ft. Wayne 51 per cent, of the population draw school money. Although that city drew money last year for 6,000 more children than Terre Haute, it had 700 less enrolled in its schools. On the basis of the r.rw ennmer' city has a populati .tj if 1880 the city bad fr.p'f-v.':- :-. of 26,000, and its school population was about 9,000. Since that year the school enumeration has unquestionably been slovenly taken. According to the new enumeration the city will also draw next year $7,000 more from the school fund than the present year.

THE TANITY ^F POLITICAL POWBB. The love of power over men, the feel ing of ability to dictate the conduct of one man extended to the control of many men, that inspires the ambition to hold political office has in the past half cen tury of this country's history undoubtedly become more an object in securing the preferments of elections than the higher motive to serve the people and the coun try. "Professional politicians'' is a term applied to men who are constantly before their fellow citizens as candidates for office. It would have applied equally as well to the statesmen of former days, if the only meaning in it was that a man long in the public service thereby became a "professional politician." The growth of the country, however, increased the" number of offices and the declaration "tr the victors belong the spoils," carries with it far more significance in the campaigns than in former years. There is conse quently more opportunity for the exercise of the spirit of domination, the ex' acting of obedience to the dictator's com' mands as a condition of conferring official favors. This fact and the other and undoubted one that thei^ablicmen of to-day are not inspired by as lofty principles as

It is idle to say that all of this demoiv alizing tendency is to be found in either of|the tvo great parties. The republican party had its share of the "bosses," but it is to the everlasting credit of that party that it endeavored to eradicate the evil within its own ranks where it has been exemplified for the last twenty-four years. To be sure there was sufficient evidence to be found in municipal admistrations that the party now coming into control of the national administration was badly infected with the spirit of "bossism," but the extent of the disease has never been so thoroughly diagnosed as it will be now that there is more to prey upon.

The moral" of all this grabbing tor patronage is plain. What gratification can there be in success in this kind of a contest? The strain of the pulling and hauling for office upon the man who has offices in his gift is enough to. drive him to insanity. Sill he covets the power that brings the hordes down, upon him.

23,—The

Ch-ant

leather store in this city, from which the general graduated in 1861 to enter the army of the rebellion, was founded in 1840 by the late E. A. Collins. A year later Jessie BL Grant, father of Ulysses, became a partner in the business, the firm being known at E. A. Collins & Co. The two continued together for the space of twelve years, when a disolution took place. The published notice was of a somewhat novel character, being in verse, and was composed by Jesse B. Grant, who, besides being (exceedingly exccentric, wa» addicted at times to poetry-making. Today, while examining the files of the Gazette for 1853. your correspondent came across the effusion, which is herewiui given for the benefit of the Globe-Demo-crat readers:

During the war Mr. Perkins became sole owner, and still conducts the business at the old stand.

Seamen'* Bethel.

Rev. Hiram Sears, agent for the Western Seamen's Friend society is in the city in the interest of the Seamen's Bethel, at St. Louis. The object of the society is to furnish Sunday school and religious privileges to the families of thousands of poor laboring men working on steamboats and wharves, including those also who work in fisheries, lumber yards and shops, and on railroads in our great cities. These floating classes have no permanent residence anywhere. They are simply the wards of a Christian nation, and must be looked after in a religious point of view, by the whole community. The Christian portion of our great cities pay threefourths if not nine-tenths of the expenses of all this tru home missionary work It is entirely undenominational and unsectarian, and is kept up by the united efforts of the various protestant churches.

The Rev. B. Frankland, of Chicago, is general superintendent of the whole western department. The Hon. Nathan ColJ, is president of the Bethel association, at St. Louis. The Rev. Captain P. Kitwood, is chaplain, at St. Louis, and the Rev. Hiram Sears, now of Effingham, III. is the well accredited agent a man worthy the confidence and gifts of the people for this cause. Mr. Sears bears credentials from Bishop Foster of the M. E. church and is now actively at work in jb^ijteje door'ret a fnentfi/ wotd with Alban, after he had left Emily. The stem despair in his face warned her to let him go on in silence.

She had looked into the ^parlor next. Pale and cold, Emily lay on.the sofa— sunk in helpless depression of body and mind. "Don't speak to me," she whispered "I am quite worn out." It wasiu too plain that the view of Alban's conduct which she had already expressed was the view to which she had adhered at the interview between them. They had parted in grief—perhaps in. auger—perhaps forever. Mrs. Ellmother lilted Emily in compassionate silence, and carried her upstairs, and waited by her until she slept

In the still hours of the night the thoughts of the faithful o'd servant— dwelling for awhile on past and present— advanced, by slow degrees, to consideration of the doubtful future. Measuring,to the best of her ability, the responsibility which had fallen on her. she felt that It was more than she could bear, or ought to bear, alone. To whom could she look for help

0EXE3AL ASSEMBLY PLOBs ALOKG.

Senate Wrangling Over JO*°* SftttUM, While the Member* of the HOIN Find Amusement In Fighting

Pardae University—The Froovedingt.

Indianapolis Times.

The general assembly made very siow progress yesterday, confirming the belief that an early adjournment is not generally desired by the members. The senate wasted the forenoon by unbecoming wrangling about minor matters, which would not have caused a ripple in the house (where Snch things are of daily occurrence), but which was surprising in the higher body, whose members usually respect their positions. The first row was precipitated by a proposition to allow the prison committee fI0 each on account of expenses incurred b' the visitation to Michigan City-and Jel fersonville. Senator McCullough was opposed to allowing extra pay when the committee had drawn per diem, had traveled on passee, and had been entertained by the prison wardens. The members of the. committee said they desired no allowance, and Senator

Faulkner offered to give his $10 to Senator McCullough, which the latter declined "because the money belonged to the people." Senator Benz hereupon declared tiiat McCullough's clerk had not been in .the city for more than a week but had drawn his $35, which was hal:' the amount of the whole allowance to the committee. McCullough replied that the clerk had done more work in the last five days than Benz had done during the whole four years of his legislative service. Ultimately the allowance to the committee was made, only six senators voting against it

Another wrangle ensued touching the report of the committee on claims, recom mending the payment of $225 to W. Slater for indexing the journals of the

special session of the assembly in 1881 Senators Youche and Hilligass, members of the committee, p'otested against the report, on the ground that they had not been consulted. They knew nothing whatever about the matter, and said that reports of like character had fre quently been made without their consent Senator Hilligass remarked that he would ask to be relieved from the committee at the proper time. Senator Smith, of Jennings, defended the committee in a lengthy speech, and Senator Magee objected to the time being consumed in such a way. Smith retorted that he had several times been accused of taking up too miich time in the senate, which was a lie. A recess was taken without any action on the report

The whole of the afternoon in the senate was taken up by the reading, considering and discussing of the drainage bill, upon which no vote was reached.

THE FUKDUE APPROPRIATION. The house again resolved itself into the committee on the whole and resumed con sideratiori of the general ap bill, taking the amendment Mr. Gordon to strike out the clause appropriating $24,000 to meet, the current expenses of Purdue University. The discussion became very spirited, and the fight against the university was more bitter than heretofore. In the midst of great confusion numerous substitutes were offered to the amendment, fixing the appropriation at every conceivable amount These, were laid on the table by very close votes, and finally a sufficient number of the friends of Purdue (including Mr. Smith, of Tippecanoe,) consented to a substitute cutting down the appropriation to $18,000, and this was adopted— yeas, 46 nays, 34. A motion by Mr. Loyd to strike out the following clauseof the bill, appropriating $25,000 to erect new buildings and to buy machinery for the university, was carried. Immediately thereafter, Mr. Wilson, of Kosciusko, proposed an amendment allowing $15,000 for the purpose indicated but the vote on this proposition was reconsidered, and at the adjournment hour an amendment by Mr. Reeves was pending to reduce the appropriation to $1.

CHILD LABOR AGAIN CONSIDERED. The rules were suspended by the house during the forenoon in order to place upon its passage Senator Bailey's bill to to prohibit the employment in mines and manufactories of children under twelve years of age. There was little oppostion to the bill until some of the members, in explaining their votes, declared that it was entirely too broad in its provisions, aud might work great harm to the community. Then many of those who had voted affirmatively changed to the negative, and the bill failed—yeas, 42 nays, 42. On motion of Mr. Gordon, the bill was afterward referred to a special committee, with instructions to so amend the same as to fix the number of hours of daily labor at eight, and to simply pro-" hibit children from working in coal mines, iron and steel manufactories and other places where their health would be impaired.

OF INTEREST TO CITIES.

The bill introduced by Mr. Rahm, which passed the senate without opposition, did not meet with the same favor in the house. It provides that tracts of land of five acres or more, within the city limits, shall be subject to city taxation, if they be surrounded on three sides by platted ground. Numerous amendments were offered, one substantially reenacting the present law, which was laid on the table. Finally the bill was recommitted, with instructions to amend it sb ,as to exempt from taxation only such tracts, of lands as are used for agricultural purposes and not wholly surrounded by platted ground.

Senator Willard, chairman of the committee! an finance, submitted a report on the bill authorizing the continuance of the new state house tax levy for ten cents, besides a temporary loan of $500,000. He stated that he had found that the bill, as passed by the house, was unconstitutional. In order to conform to the requirements of the constitution, the temporary loan should be for the purpose of- covering a "casual" deficiency. He recommended an additional change by making the interest on the bonds 4 per cent annually, instead of "4 per centum, payable sem-iannually." Thfc language of the bill might also be interpreted as including the $150,000 for- the improvement of the grounds, and the appropriation of $350,000 for the completion of the building.

DO LiADIES SMOKE

The Fascinating Cigarette Capturing Their Affection*. Detreit Free Press. "The present age may very properly be termed progressive," said a well-known tobacconist to a representative of the Free Press a few days sincer"but judging from what experience I have gained in my business the world is moving altogether too rapidly for its age."

The reporter was somewhat surprised at the radical assertion, and inquired in what direction the abnormity existed. "In the habit of smoking," replied the vender of the weed. "When I was a boy it was an uncommon thing to see any one except men use tobacco, although occasionally an old woman could be found who clung" to her pipe as she did to her spinning-wheel or knitting. Laterly, however, a great change has taken place, and not only do we find small boys, some of them barely out of their waddling clothes, puffing away at a pipe or ihe inevitable pestilence—a cigarette— bnt the habit has so grown upon the peo pie that young ladies, and especially those in the upper ement of society, can be found in Detroit who enjoy a-whiff with the s&me relish as a veteran smoker. Of course, this is not to be observed on the streets but it is the fact, nevertheless, and I think I am speaking within bounds when I say that I know over 100 ladies who smoke cigarettes to a greater or less extent How they acquired the habit is at myst ry yet unsolved, and as I am in the tobacco business and profit by the sale of the goods, it' would not be a paying investment to give myself much trouble in the matter." "How do you know they smoke? It isn't likely they would tell you of it," said the reporter. "Isn't it? Well, that's where you and I disagree. Knots of them have told me time and {time again, and can tell the beet brand of cigarettes as well as a man can tell a good brand of cigar. They come in my store dnd ask for a package of this hind or that, and if the cigarettes happen to be too dry or have any other objectionable feature, I hear of it the next time the young ladies call. There are others who, when making a purchase, will say: "My brother or father could't come down town and asked me to buy some cigarettes for him." "This is very often the.case, but when die brother or father sends the young lady on the same errand three or four times a week I have my suspicions that the young lady herself is the person who has the greatest interest in the purchase. They also buy dainty and expensive paraphernalia, with the evident intentien of taking as much pleasure out of the habit as itis possible to get, and I believe they enjoy it as much as we males do. "The ladies of Mexico and Cuba are inveterate smokers, and even go so far as to use cigars, but nothing is thought of it in those countries. However, I do not think that American ladies need to take up the habit simply because it is the custom in some other country than our own.

It may be pleasurable ana all that sort of thing, bnt when any of my female relations come around and ask me to have a social smoke with them I am ready to move out."

Thinking that perhaps the dealer might be mistaken, the reporter called on a prominent society lady aud asked for further information on the subject. "Of course they do," laughingly replied the lady "and why should they not? You horrid men claim that smoking is essential to your happiness, and you certainly can not object to dividing the pleasure with us. But, seriously, there area number of young ladies o^my acquaintance who use cigarettes in moderation. I believe they do it more for the novelty of the thing than anything else, but as I am not speaking from personal experience, I am not prepared to speak positively on this point. However, no one can dispute the fact, that the habit is growing among the young la'dics ami that it leads to serious results there can be no question. One peculiar thing 1 have noticed, and that is no lady cares to smoke in the dark. They say they must be able to see the smoke or else there is no pleasure in it, and this leads me to be lieve that it is more oi a craze than anything else. A man can smoke in the dark as well as in the light, but the ladies say that in order to fully appreciate it, they must be able to see the smoke.

Capital Parasites Flocking to the Church Which Cleveland Joined. Washington SpeoiaL

Dr. Sunderland's church, where the president has taken a pew, promises to become the most popular house of worship in Washington. It is situated at the corner of Fourth-and-a-half street and Louisiana avenue, near city hall, where Guiteau's trial was conducted. Tho immediate vicinity is" filled with lawyers, officers, cheap boarding houses, and drinking saloons. Polite society, which followed Arthur from the Methodist shurch, where Hayes worshipped, to St. John's Episcopal church, on street, does hot relish the idea of going on Fourth-and-a-half street to atactica, its devotion, but it will, nevertheless. In fact, the tide has already set in that direction. Quite a number of applications have been made this week for pews centrally located.

"Because they go twenty days without a drink," sighed the barkeener, as he lugged out the slate and jotted down another unearned score.

With such bitter tears as only a heartbroken man can shed, he thereupon cried: "Oh! my God! What shall I do? What shall I do? I could bear it myself, but what will become of my dear wife and children when I am gone?

There was scarcely any food in the house, and the little girl, in Iter new stockings and rubbers, was about to visit a charity organization's rooms for supplies. James instantly felt tbat there was imperative need to apply the week's supply of beer and tobacco money to the good cause of brotherly help right here and now. He ran off and bought as much meal and milk as the small sum could procure. More than tbat as he turned to leave the half-famished father, mother and children, and suddenly remembered that he had arranged to go to the opera house on the following evening, he drew forth the half dollar laid by foe a ticlket thrust it into the woman's hand, and left a house full of thankful hearts behind.

A very interesting discovery, says a Dubuque dispatch to the Ies Moines Register, was made yesterday of some Indian relics by laborers engaged in excavating for the "railroad across the river. Among them were several wedges^made of iron and stone and one of copper! The former were of tbe usual wedge shape. The latter was near the shape of a coffin, except that it tapered to a shrfrp edge at the lower end. The singular characteristic of .the copper wedge is that it is so hard that it will cut stone. These relics were found about ten miles north of the city at a depth of six feet.
