"The non-partisan police force must go," the demand of the managers of the party just given power.

Perhaps the people do not appreciate well-directed efforts to remove the police and fire department from politics. '^-yr

The Gazette is improving. It is only a month behind with the "original" pun which consists in asking if Gladstone,Js loaded for "btar." J^

It is to be seen if the year of mismanagement of city affairs that characterized the year from May 1883 to May 1884 is to be repeated. We believe it will and at the end of that year enough good citizens will turn out to vote.

The republicans did not have the help that used to be afforded by the patronage of a police force, whereas the democrats commanded the services of those who look forward to a repeal of the present ordinance and places upon an out-and-out partisan force.

The democracy made no issue in the campaign. It was a contest on their part for the patronage of office. The republican went to the people on a record that shonld have insured a continuance of that party in power. But one thousand good citizens failed to manifest their appreciation of this record.

The democrats are already picking out the men /or the minor places about the city government. The applicants for places about the postoffice, frid the revenue office, and the police force and fire department aggregate fully 500. Never before was their such a feast for the hungry. No wonder they got out the band last

The mugwump papere are scolding Mr. Cleveland for taking part in the New York election through his secretary of the treasury and bis secretary of the navy. Both are New York politicians of the Tilden school, and both have been in that state recently wire-working. The Boston Herald suggests to the president that the way to strengthen the party in New York is "let the state election severely alone."

Senator Voorhees seems to be in the movement to allay the angry feeling toward Cleveland which is beginning to manifest itself in loud denunciations by prominent men in the party. So is Watterson. Both tell the faithful that the good time is coming that the delay in turning out the republicans is owing'to a wise regard for the policy of "going slow." Within the past week there has been much of this kind of advice sent to the country. Has the president authorized the renewal of promises to the hungry?

The democrats in the Indianapolis city council defeated the ordinance increasing the saloon license from $52 to $100 a year. The local boss, Sim Coy, a saloonkeeper, manipulated his party machine, and with one exception the democrats voted in the negative.

What chance is thgfte"here rrr Terre Haute to put upon the liquor business a fairer proportion of the taxation? The business pays not one-tenth of what it should, considering that it is directly the cause of a great part of the expense to the municipal government.

Political Comment.

New York Tribune:'A good many persons are wondering how the democratic politicians can reconcile their campaign assertions about the surplus in the treasury and Mr. Manning's debt statement of last week. They often said last fall that the republicans were hoarding hundreds of millions but on Friday the secretary could show only a net cash balance in the treasury of about twentyfour millions. There is no cause for wonder here, on anyboday's part, for the democratic leaders will not try to reconcile their contradictory statements about, the surplus any more than they try to reconcile any of the other untruths they told. It will be time enough to wonder if at the end of four years of bourbon rule the democrats have any balance at all to show in the treasury.

Globe-Democrat: It looks as if Gladstone would be willing to give Penjdeh to the Russians if the Russians will consent that the English shall continue to hold London. The czar seems to be considering the matter.

New York Tribune. The Buffalo Commercial seems to feel fairly confident that Arthur D. Bissell will be appointed collector of that port. Very likely. Mr. Manning lias given his brother In-law an office, and why should not the president look out for his partner's brother. That is "reform."

Setting a Bad Example.

Now York Tribune. Train robbery is hardly a forgotten trade, when a tramp with a big club can disarm and disable two express messengers and rob their eafe. The worst of it is, that if the desperado makes good his escape, a host of imitators will spring up all over the country, and it will become necessary for express cars to be barricaded like fortresses to make them really safe.

Mr. Hendricks' Mistake.

Washington Special. Mr. Hendricks thought when he first came here thst he would control the administration. He thought the president was inexperienced, and would be only too glad to travel for a time in the experienced leading strings of thd vice-presi-dent. Mr. Hendricks has discovered his mistake. He does not go to the White House near as much as he did when he first came here. Mr. Hendricks might have had a great deal of influence with the president if he had confined his advice to the broad fi«ld of political generalities. The president would have been glad to consult with him about matters of general policy, but when he found that the vice-president only called upon him when he had the claim of some office-seeker to urge, the latter lost his hold at the White House. It appears that the vice-president has needlessly compromised the dignity of his position by too active a search for political patronage. Indiana for some weeks has been making a struggle for the office of public printer. There was first a candidate bv the name of Stoll then Richard J. Bright, former sergeant-at-arms of the senate, was indorsed by the delegation. The

I told him I didn't know why he should be so good to me that 1 had never done anything for him. 1 guess he understood me, for he went off. 1 uever took any stock in the fellow.

Ine vice president heard of it, and actually went to call upon Bell to find out if he could not get something from him to use against the public printer, to secure his remrval. There have been a number of such undignified acts as this upon the part of the vide president which have had a tendency to seriously lessen his influence at the White House.

MATTER OF MILLIONS.

How Our Debt is Decreasing:.—Comparison wltli the Financial Burdens of Other Countries. Special to the Indianapolis News.

Washington. D. C., May 6.—The decrease of the public debt in the fiscal year that is to eud in eight weeks will be over sixty millions of dollars. This will not be so great as in some former years, but it is faster than we generally suppose. Five millions of dollars a month is $166,000 a day, or a hundred dollars a minute. Thit is a pretty rapid rate at which to be extinguishing the public debt, in spite of of the people who are crying all the time that our debt is growing less in an imperceptible ratio. The debt is now only one billion, four hundred millions, in round numbers. Of course this deducts from it the "cash in the treasury," and it ought to do so. The cash in the treasury is put there to redeem the greenbacks and gold and silver certificates, and as these greenbacks and gold and silver certificates are counted as a debt, the cash which is always on hand to redeem them ought to be counted as an offset. The debt statement gives the total as one billion, eight hundred and eighty-three millions. Deduct from this the cash in the treasury, which amounts to four huft dred and eighty-three millions, and you have the debt cut down to a billion, four hundred millions. The reduction of the debt this year has not been as great as in former years, but even at the present rate the total public debt will be wiped out in about twenty-five years, or about the time which has elapsed since it was created. People who are in the habit of groaning about our debt being sometbipg too great to bear will do well to inquire about the debts of other nations.

Take Italy, for instance, whose population is just about what ours is. Her debt is over two billions of dollars, or about twsce as much per head as our own. Russia, who is apparently eager for war, has a debt of three and a half billions. Great Britain, whose population is but thirty-five millions against our fifty-five millions,- has a debt of three billion seven hundred millions, or about four times as much per head as we have, and yet Great Britain is supposed to be exceptionably well off. France, brilliant and elastic France, whose recovery from her terrible war a few years ago has been the wonder of the world, is carrying a debt of four billions seven hundred and fifty millions, or five times as much per head as our country is carrying. Our debt is about $25 per head all round, that of Russia almost $40 per head that of Italy nearly $75 per head that of Great Britain $100 apiece, and flint of France, about $130 for each citizen. The interest cliargeff Off a'aemwmWBOTt is something enormous, more than the people can stand under for any great length of time. Of our debt enly a Tittle over a billioc bears interest, or to be ex act, $1,196,150,350. Of this only as much as $250,000,000 bears as much as 4J per cent, interest. It is interesting to see how much money remains in the treasury nn claimed after the interest has ceased to accrue. On some of this the interest ceased a half a century ago, while on large sums interest has not accumulated for twenty years, and yet the interest has never been asked for. "What do you suppose is the explana tion of the delay in presenting these bonds for payment, that have been due so long?" your correspondent asked of an official running over the curious list, which, by the way, foots up several millions or dollars. "That's a mystery," he answered with a smile. "I suppose some of it has been lost or stolen, some of it burned up, some of it stuck away in forgotten places, perhaps some of it is held by people who do not know that interest has ceased on it or who do not know that they have the bonds at all. There sometimes come to us some of these that have come to the light by some curious turn in the wheel of fortune. Of course, a very considerable portion of them will never turn up or be presented for payment."

The troubles in the Manitoba country illustrate anew the difficulty which Canada iB always going to have with that section which feels itself more closely allied bv nature and circumstances with the United States than with Canada, from whose more settled and prosperous prov inces it is separated by nearly 1,000 miles of unproductive territory. The United States is the natnral market and manufactory for Manitoba, and to compel the farmers of that province to procure their supplies from a country 1,000 miles away, and with which they have no bond ol union other than political, is a hardship becoming every year more oppressive. A system of commercial reciprocity would remove the hardship, but there is no general inclination on this side of the line to let down the bars for the -benefit of the Canadians. It is apparent that the United States can get along without the Dominion a great deal more comfortably than the Dominion, or at least apart of it, can get along without she United States, and the lime will probably come, and may not be far distant, when the Canadians will supplicate for admission to the American Republic.

Mr. Keiley's Troubles Not Ended. Washington Special. A gentleman here, who is in a position to know whereof he speaks, says: "Mr. Keiley is not in good standing in the Catholic church, and his appointment was as unsatisfactory to it as to the Italian government. The truth is, Mr. Keiley put himself outside the mother church by marrying a Jewess, a very estimable lady, but withal not a Catholic, and he has not been recognized by the church since. By accepting the Austrian mission, he has simply jumped from the frying^ pan into the fire, ana when he arrives at the Austrian capital, he will deeply regret .having accepted the mission, as he will be subjected to a humiliation which will be felt all through his life. He has gone to Austria in entire ignorance of the fact that his wife cannot be received at the court, because she is a Jewess. In Austria, neither Jews or Jewesses are ever received at court, and I apprehend that we have not yet heard the last of Mr. Keiley's troubles.''

ALong Liti^tioS Over Baggage. New York Times. A decision baa jnst, been rendered by ih& Court of appeals in a cast which has been in litigation for eighteen years, has been tried four times in the Supreme court, and has been three times before the court of appeals, and which is of interest to every person who travels by railroad. On March 11,1862, Cyrus H. McCormick applied to the Pennsylvania Railroad company at Philadelphia for the transportation of himself and family to Chicago. He transferred his baggage to the baggagemaster and demanded checks for it, but these were refused on the ground that it was above the weight allowed. Mr. McCormick was told Mat he must pay an extra amount for his baggage before he could have his checks. He refused to do this and demanded the return of his' baggage. This was refused on the ground that it could not be moved from the car before the schedule time for starting the train.

The baggage went on to Chicago and Mr. McCormick remained in Philadelphia. The following day he saw the president of the road and secured an order from him for the delivery of his baggage at Pittsburg, but on his arrival there he found that it had gone on to Chicago. The station of the Pennsylvania road at Chicago was struck by lightning and burned, and with it Mr. McCormick's baggage. The trunks contained costly clotning and diamonds belonging to Mrs. McCormick, and in 1867 Mr. McCormick sued the company in the Supreme court in this city -to recover their value. The claim of his counsel was that the Pennsylvania company had wrongfully converted his property and were liable for its full value. The defense claimed that by accepting the order for the delivery of his baggage at Pittsburg Mr. McCormick had re assumed control over his property, and that the company in any event was not liable to him for the value of his wife's jewels, which, according to the laws of Illinois, belonged to her personally.

In the decision just rendered by Chief Justice Ruger, in which all the judges of the court of appeals concur, it is held that the case, as presented by the evidence, shows an original, wrongful detention of the plaintiffs property bv the defendant, and a defeat, through the negligence or wilful misconduct of the defendant and its servants in carrying it beyond the point agreed on for its delivery, of every effort on the part of the plaintiff to regain its possession. The jewelry, it is regain held, constituted apart of the wife's paraphernalia, the right of property in which, under the common law, was in the husband. The evidence tended to show that the property in question was purchased by the plaintiff and given to his wife on their marriage, in 1858, previous to the passage of any statue in Illinois changing the common law relations as to the ownership of property existing between husband and wife.

The court of appeals, therefore, sustains the judgment of the general term, giving to the executors of the plaintiff the value of the property destroyed, with interest, which amounts, in round numbers to about $18,000. During the long litigation in which this suit has been involved Daniel D. Lord, E. W. Stoughton, Beech and Brown, George Harding and Roscoe Conkling, have appeared at different stages for the plaintiff, and Judge Blatchford, Clarence A. Seward, and Griswold & Da Cos.a for the defendant. Beach & Brown brought the cose to a conclusion before the court of appeals.

The Skies in May.

New York Mail and Express. J* Venus has not yet recovered from her bashful fit of last month, and will remain lud^on-m tlia.eiiu'a tKajiroaier part of M«y, rising and going to bed very early, and otherwise deporting herself in a circumspect manner unusual with that wayward and brilliant planet. Her retirement leaves Jupiter without a rival. He is now near quadrature, and will pass that stage oil the 17th. That is to say, he is 90 degrees west of the sun, and is almost directly overhead when the sun setsHis apparently smaller companion, Regulus, will be his oonstant attendant during the month, and will afford an excellent gauge of tne forward and backward motion of the planet. On the 7th October last they were in conjunction, and afterward the planet, appeared east of the star. In December, the planet apparently turned and went backward, till he passed the star again on the 14th of March, appearing, since then, on Regulus, western side. On the 30th of this month he will pass again to the eastward, at only forty-one min utes' interval from Regulus, and thereof ter they will grow further and further apart all the year.

Saturn is still a conspicuous object in the western sky, but is getting nearer the sun all the time. He sets now about 10 o'clock, and retires about three minutes earlier every successive evening during the month.

Mars is coming out from his retirement behind the sun, and appears on the eastern side of that orb for a short time before sunrise. He rose this morning soon after 4 o'clock, and will grow earlier in his habits by about two minutes every day.

Mercury, Uranus and Neptune are invisible without a glass, and, even with

one, Mercury is to be caught only on the 25th, just before Bunrise. The moon, which now fills the midnight sky with slowly waning brilliancy, is properly the April moon. May's moon will b« full on 28th. During she occults Mercury and ui only observers in the South seas will be favored with the sight.

The constellations are fast rolling westward. Orion is visible for a little while after sunset, and the great Sirius outshines Saturn in the evenine sky, while his forerunner, Procyon, is almost out of sight. Arcturus is nearly overhead. Capella and Vega are respectively east ana west of the North Star, at about the same distance and nearly in line. Soon the Crab will have crawled into his summer place of chief Constellation, and his red eye, Antares, will grow unrivaled in the southern sky.

The Worth of a Lawyer's Time. Easton Express. A lawyer's opinion of the value of another's services can be seen from the trial of a case before Justice Evans, of jthe Fifth ward, Easton, where two young and enterprising lawyers were engaged in the trial of a cause last week. The counsel for the defense was cross-ex-amining one of the plaintiff's witnesses at some length, when the plaintiff's attorney objected to what he called the frivilous questions of the other attorney, and stated that his time was too valuable to be taken up in this foolish and trivial manner, whereupon his adversary, gravely taking some coppers from his pocket and counting out five large and ancient ones, laid them on the table, and directed the justice to remunerate the counsel for his loss of important time, after deducting his own commission.

The Ownership of Prescriptions. The Supreme courts of New York and Massachusetts have settled the matter as to j»ho owns a medical prescription. The Mifastance of the decision is that the physician, in prescribing, gives the patient a written order for drugs, and their delivery terminates the operation. The druggist may, on his own responsibility, renew the drugs, for he is a merchant, and has a right -to mil drugs in 'a

any shape. He is not bound to give a copy of the prescription, nor even to keep it, though he usually retains it as a protection in Case ef error on the part of the doctors or patients.

Echoes of the War.

There is a persistency in evil agencies which ought to teach us a lesson. A sawmill in Pennsylvania narrowly escaped destruction recently from a fire started by the sjuarks occasioned by the circular saw striking on a bit of shell fired at the battle of Gettysburg. It had laid in the heart of a tree for twenty years. Last week forest tires swept over the field of 'The Wilderness," and shells were heard bursting more than twenty years after they had been thrown from the guns of Grant and Lee.

A Likely Texas Negro.

Sherman Courier. A huge negro boy, hitched to a plough and hard at work turning up the not too pliable soil, was a novel sight witnessed by several of our citizens yesterday. Those who saw him state that he must be of almost herculean strength, judging from the progress he was making. He was being driven along similar to the treatment given a horse in like work.
