Illinois' new-election law has gone to the gupifcmecoart where lis vdidily wilt be -passed upon.

ITenry Ward Beecher says he has no intention of abandoning Plymouth pulpit and does not propose to be kicked out if he can prevent it.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean susp6ets.that Consul Lewis who sent to the state department the graphic story of the Mohammedan movement against paganism in Africa is another Mulhattan.

The New York republican committee opened the gate to let in the stray sheep which followed off the democratic promise of reform last year. They will soon be rushing pell mell into the old place.

That was a mean trick the officers played on Aufdemorte, the absconding sub-treasury clerk who was arrested in Mexico. The judge there released him, but not understanding the language, the officers told him he had been expelled from Mexico. He thereupon made tracks for Texas, where of course his arrest was easily accomplished.

The Indianapolis Times says?" Dr. A. J. Thomas, of the Hospital for the Insane, is very desirous of securing the superintendenoy of fha new Insane Asylum Evansuille. As the benevolent institutions of this state are now in the interest of the demo cratic party, and as Dr. Thomas served in the confederate army and had an unsavory record as auditor of Knox county, his claims are su perior to those of any man yet named for that place.

England is accused by the Spanish press with encouraging Germany in the grab of the Caroline Islands, and France is pat ting Spain on the back in. the quarrel which should only involve the two coun tries—Spain and Germany. But Europe is in that excitable state that the slightest controversy soon involves a half dozen governments and threatens a general European war.

Secretary Manning and his treasurer are running away with their official authority by arrogating to themselves the functions of .the legislative branch of the government They are adopting a financial policy without regard to law, but to agree with the purposes of their New York bank friends. The chances are that a few resolutions will be fired at these gentlemen when congress meets next winter.

The muscovite is no doubt playing the fast and IOOS game with the new conservative government just as was done with the Gladstone ministry. A few days ago it was announced that Bussia had aban doned her claims in the Zulfikar pasi dispute, thereupon the conservatives sent out word to make that the campaign issue. But Bussia had a proviso that follows up the proposal and which is that a joint commission shall settle the details and that means that the final settlement is as far off as it ever was.

There is a general demand for the pres ence of Senator Voorhees in this state. There is a big row at Cambridge over the appointment of a lady to be postmistress when a dozen hungry voters wanted the place. At Indianapolis, according to the News, "there are mutterings of discontent among the democrats" because they can get no reply to letters sent to the senator. In fact there is an impression that the senator's Indian name, "Old-man-afraid-to-come-home," will have to be used altogether in referring to him.

Mike Mullen, pardoned by President Cleveland not only attended the State convention as a delegate but was elected executive committeeman, which election caused a fight between "Bed" Farrel, a bummer friend of Mullen and Jim Dunn recently discharged from the police force for acceping a bribe. The fight nearly resulted in murder. If the president had any reason to believe that the gang would engage in a war of extermination among themselves we would admit that the "other reasons" on which he issued the pardon were sufficient and retract everything that has been said to the contra*-/.

The law recently enacted by the Georgia legislature to tax old bachelors was in tended as a joke. It provided that "all male inhabitants of this state who have arrived at the age of 30 years, and who have never married, shall be taxed $2.50 per annum for the enjoyment of this unmarried state, and each year so long as they shall enjoy.the enviable position in life of single blessedness." The taxes so collected are to go to the school fund in order "to pay the tuition of children who have, no fathers." There is no reason why the law should not be enforced. The bachelor is a selfish creature. True, he is the victim of a wrong impression as to the duties of his kind, but the rest of mankind should not be called upon to bear the expense of his alleged luxury. He should not only he taxed, but chained-up.

Lieutenant D/inenhower will read a* paper at the next meeting of the llaval Institute in which he will take a stand against Arctic exploration. He says:

After having served with one Arctic expedition and having devoted seven years to the study of the subject, as well aa the watchful observations of the numerous efforts and the comparatively insufficient result attending sacrifice of human life and treasure, I unhesitatingly record myself r.s opposed to further explorations of the central polar basin, with our present resources. "The gradual oxtension of observatory stations in the interest of meterology, magnetism and other scientific branches should be made, bat national support should not be given to another polar expedition.

But men will "seek the bubble reputa tion" at the north pole, though they may agree with Danenhower that the result of these sacrifices of human life and treasure is insufficient. There is in time of -peace only such expeditions for the daring naval or army officers. Danenhower is ight when he says national support should not be given, and by withholding it there is less likelihood of these expeditions being organized.

Mr. Hoadly has not decide^ just what dieease he will call to his assistance this year, if the poor man could catch the cholera at a optical moment in the campaign he would probably be elected for something.—TChicago Herald.

The democratic bosses a week before

•the consenti&i were h^ttinclined to Hoajgy as|^ because t»l the fear his io.rmer campaign be would make a bad blunder {it a critical period. Hoadly did not wait for' the. critical-period hattook advantage of the sequest of the convention for a speech. He then appealed to the record the party had made in the state and municipal government in Ohio. The result is that in the verjr beginning he has "put his party press and speakers on the defensive. The iniquities of the coal-oil, Allen O'Myers legislatuie were too fresh in the memory of the people. During' the two years of democratic control the state indebtedness increased 25 per cent, and the tax levy in Cincinnati was increased from 2 per cent, to 3 per cent.

An imaginative correspondent is exposed as the author of the alleged reply of Secretary Bayard to the notice of the Austrian government that Keiley would not be received as the accredited minister from this country. The same correspondent was also the author of the communication from the Austrian government.

In short he worked a neat little scheme by which he had exclusive information that the reason given by the Austrian government for refusing to receive Keiley was the fact that Mrs. Keiley is a Jewess. Then in due time he "scooped" the other correspondents On the purport of Bayard's reply, which by the way secured for the secretary many compliments by the press of the country The truth, I raveling slowly of cpurse, has just overtaken the lie and we are informed that Auslria.gave no reason, as it was not required to do according to a diplomatic precedent set by this country. Of course, that being the case, our secretary did not tell Francis Joseph that the Amercan people had a profound contempt for a nation in which race distinctions prevailed.

But Keiley is coming home to us. He must be taken care of because Bayard's grandfather and Keiley's grandfather were friends. It is toot likely that another effort will be made to send him away in a diplomatic capacity. The chances are that if he should now present his credentials, the sole reply of the foreign govern ment would be: "Keiley? not by a jug fuli."

INDIANA AT WASHINGTON.

The Delegation Absent—Public Printer —Changes In Mail Routes. All the Indiana delegation in congress and most of the office seekers from that state, says a Washington special, are away from here now. The latter class will return,' however, when Senator Voorhees gets back, which will be about the second week in September. It was stated upon good authority to night that the president, before leaving here on his summer vacation, assured Public Printer Bounds that he would not be disturbed in his office, but would be permitted to serve out 'his term, which expires in April next. John B. Stoll, of South Bend, will have to wait that long, at least,and a majority of Hoosier democrats here say he will never be public printer, as he is not indorsed by the entire Indiana delegation, and there is no enthusiasm for him.

Changes have been ordered in Indiana star mail routes aa follows: Bockville to Bloomingdale—Leave Bockville daily, except Sundays, at 9 a. m. arrive at Bloomingdale by 10:10 a. m. leave Bloomingdale daily, except Sundays, at 3:40 p. m. arrive at Bockville by 4:40 p. m.

To be Lighted with Natural'Gas. The city council of Litchfield, 111., passed an ordinance granting the exclusive right of supplying the city with natural gas lor a period of twenty-five years. On a tract of land just outside the city limits natural gas in l&rge quantities has been reached, at a depth of about 50Q2 feet, and it is proposed to utilise this in lighting the city.

ABOUTTTOVfN/

Tirc CITY'S BECENT PURCHASE.—The city will pay $2,709 l°t on the east side tf Third street, north of the alley, between Main and CLerry streets. The council left it with the mayor to make terms 6f payment. Nine hundred dpllara will be paid in cash and two notes for $900 each will be given, one payable in six mpnths and the other in one year, bearing six per cent, interest. There is a small brick building located on the rear of the lot, which it is proposed to convert into afire reel honse, stationing the Third street reel there. By this means the rent of the present reel quarters, $200 a year, will be wiped ont. Considerable money must be expended refitting the hotiSe and improving the lot. It is also the intention to pass an ordinance to compel the expressmen to stand their wagons on the lot. This will be bitterly opposed by the expressmen. There ate two factions of expressmen4—those who live in the city and those who live without, principally in Macksville. The city expresgmen claim that it is impossible to get along with the other, as they are quarrelsome and always ready for fight

LECTURED.—Monday, before the police commissioners announced their decision, Superintendent Lawlor was called jnto the mayor's office, where the cases against Dundon and Early were heard. He was informed that the board consid gred the charges" brought against the officers of small moment, and that they were not serious enough to require an investigation. The wagon had been taken out on other than police duty under direction of the superintendent, and it did not become him to complain against another officer for the same thing.0 The "crab apple case," as it is called, is caus ing much merriment around town, and is tending to make the police depaitment laughing stock. Since Lawlor became superintendent jealousies and quarrels have divided the force into a dozen factions,

VITAL STATISTICS.—The report of the state board of health for the year ending September 30th, has been issued. The number of births in the four most popu lous counties in the state are: Marion 2,598, of which 1,301 were males and 1,297 were females Allen, 1,101, 609 which were males and 492 females Vigo, 1,041, with 571 males and 470 females Vanderburg, 1,076, 556 males and 520 females. In Marion county there were 971 mafriage8 in Allen, 558 Vigo, 460, and Vanderberg560. There were 1,719 deaths in Marion, 514 in Allen, 574 in Vigo and 941 in Vanderberg. It will be seen there were 60 per cent, more deaths in Vanderberg than Vigo, although Vigo will exceed Vanderberg in population by six or seven thousand,

THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING.—When the workmen began to place the large stone columns at the east end of the gov em ment building in position the different pieces were found to lie numbered wron. They were put in position as numberei but when the sections of columns came together the irregularity in size was noticeable from the street. The columns were taken down, and by hard work and much*care were at last set up right. The large stone slabs that form the i*oof that rests on the columns have been placed in position, and the east side presents a nice appearance.

PRAIRIE CHICKENS—"Prairie chickens are not so plentiful as they were some pears ago," said a gentleman who goes hunting in Illinois a half dozen times every year during the season. "No, there are too many hunters nowadays, Last Monday forty-one men with guns went from this city across the line. This is good weather to hunt chickens and am going out in the morning. They will be on the fences and away from the corn in the morning. Very warm days they get in the shade of the corn and roll in the dust. This fresh air will make them fly about."

AN INCOMPETENT SCHOOL TRUSTEE.— A member of a school board not a thousand miles from Terre Haute in accepting a teacher's pay order wrote the word "excepted," to which the bank people were inclined to take exceptions. The same trustee, at a meeting of the board, wanted to know how many "illegitimate" (ineligible) school children there were in the city. Such a board as that could hardly be expected to decipher^ problem that involved the expenditure of many thousands of dollars when there were not many thousands to be had.y:

^"OTiCE

cJeorge U. Allen vs. Frits A O'Neal, whose first names are unknown to plaintiff's agent. Before 8. C. Loekman, J. P., of Harrrlson township, Vigo county, Indiana.

The said plaintiff's agent, L. H. BrewsIhe ter, makes oath that claim in this

than all the volcanoes of Java, area little, action is for advertising and job printing furnished defendants at their special unmarked, almost unknown group, close to the equator, about a thousand miles Mat of the Phillipene Islands. What they are worth to any European nation, even as a naval station, is not discernible on this side of the Atlantic, and why Spain should get so mad about their appropriation by Germany *is equally invisible, except as a point of honor. There is probably where the "rub" comes. Spain is poor, weak and bankrupt, and knows it, and feels that Germany is i»fring bully's advantage in grab-

invitation and request, and the said plaintiff's agent, L. H. Brewster, also makes oath that said claim is Just, and that he ought, as he believes, to recover thereon twenty-three dollars and sixty cents.
