Evansville wants to be made a signal service station. Where's your manners? After'Terre Haute, if you please.

Tbe Ohio campaign is fairly on. TQiere wereAa grt»t to any Ranges in the. fourth-class postmasters in that state yes terday.

And now the postoffice department is planning to give the new letter-carriers the fifteen days' annual vacation on pay, It is the junketist junketing administration ever in power.

Thosp two copies of a stock of three of Miss Cleveland's book are still on the bookstore shelves. The Gazette said there was a "demand for. 100.. Senator Voorhees and Mr. Lamb have returned to the city. Their duty is plain.

A Nebraska man claims that he has demonstrated to the world that the soul exists. He is going to startle the world. There is no good reason why Nebraska should not have a front place occasionally in the production of cranks.-

J:.

The civil service commission in its examination of applicants for office ought to submit the following problem: If at the end of four months service cabinet officers require two months rest and vacation how many months would they require at the end of twenty-four years service?

And now here is the Gazette denouncing Lawlor.'s order. Only a few weeks' ago the esteemed contemporary was ecstasies over the trick by which he was made superintendent. After awhile the commissioners will, like the Gazette, realize that sooner or later they must follow the advice of the Express.

The announcement is made in those newspapers which are supposed to have direct communication with the sage of Greystone that his health is better than it has been for three years. There is much significance in this announcement coming as it does very soon after the report that the old gentlemen is very angry over the snubbing given him'by the president.

Superintendent Lawlor says to his men that by taking drunken men home, instead ef arresting them, he thinks "we would get more credit from the better class of citizens by doing so, provided,, they are riot habitual drunkards." The "better class," "better element" and "upper class" will feel highly complimented by this insinuation, coming as it does from one whose duties are supposed to make him more or less acquainted with the "habitual drunkards."

The Terre Haute Express and other republican sheets are laboring to show great dissatisfaction among democrats over Mr. Yoorhees' recommendations of persons for appointment to federal positions. It is somewhat remarkable that this wide spread and almost universal dissatisfaction among democrats, as the Express wonld make it appeir, does not find expression through democratic channels.— [Sullivan Democrat.

The .Democrat must believe that its readers never see any newspaper except the Democrat. It strikes, us that the Indianapolis Sentinel and Evansville Courier are "democratic channels.' Locally, the Argo is a "democratic channel," and about one-fourth of the prominent democrats in Vigo county are very good "channels."

There is said to be war between the police justice and the police which now has taken a very peculiar shape. The police in their desire to thwart the justice fail to make arrests, thus taking awa^ his fees and means of a livelihood. Could anything be more ludicrous and yet reprehensible? The superintendent of police recently issued an order that the police should take drunken workingmen home and not arrest them. The police magis trate objected to this assumption of judicial functions by the police, and commented severely on the order.

The general public has no other feeling but disgust for the whole caboodle of these quarreling officials. There is but one thing desired by the people from its police department, which is that the guardians of the peace attend strictly to their duty. This cannot be expected when the heads of the department and the police magistrate are engaged in a quarrel because the forceps thereby demoralized and rendered unfit for compe tent service.

There is a suggestion, however, arising from this quarrel that is worthy of attention. It is this: If a magistrate is overanxious for the production before him of persons charged with misdemeanor or crime, on whose conviction only can the magistrate receive a fde, does it not maui-

"Oh, if you can't write it," said Mr.

THIRFY-FXRST'S REUNION—It seems to be necessary to make the announcement that the reunion will not be a moneymaking affair and that it is to be a free blow. There are people1 who, when they heard the place of holding the reunion had been changed from Hulman's park to the Fair ground, concluded tha£ it was to a scheme to make money by sorts of contrivances.

The executive and citizen's committee and all soldiers' late members of the Thir ty-fifst, residing in the city and county will meet in G. A. R. hall, to-day, to make a report of donations, etc. also to adopt a programme of exercise for their coming reunion.

TAKEN HOME.—John Hammon, badly crippled young man who has been frequently seen of late wheeling himself, with, a painful effort, about the streets in an endless-chain invalid chair, and who for nearly eighteen monthts at intervals, has been an inmate of St. Anthony's hos' pital, was yesterday sent to Evansville on a pass furnished by the township trustee. Hammon's friends reside about fifty miles from Evansville. At one time this poor unfortunate was an accomplished accountant and is yet possessed of a healthy, vigorous mind. -fT

POSTAL CAHDS.—"How large a stock of postal cards do you- keep on hand?" an Express reporter asked Postmaster Regan. "We have about 20,000 at present, and have as high as 110,000. When I first came in I sent a request for more cards and I received in reply an order to send 25,000 to Columbus, O. The department is exceedingly short of stamps at present. St. Louis is. out of cards, also Evans ville.".

A PROBABLE APPOINTMENT.—Captain George H. Gregory, late engineer at the distillery, is a candidate for tbe position of inspector of machinery and heating apparatus in the government building, Captain Gregory is strongly supported for the position by Mr. Crawford Fairbanks, and is also very favorably endorsed by Senator Voorhees and Hon. John. E, Lamb.

GRAY IS FDR G£AY.

Be Has His E|e on Harrison's Place— English's Method Not So WIly Nor ETfectlve.

Letters being received here from democrats in different p|rts of Indiana tell about the. still hunt Governor Gray is making for the United States senate in the e/eftt the legislature goes the way of his party next year, says a Washington special to the Indianapolis Journal. It appears that the governor is making one of his strongest and most unique campaigns, and is determined to outstrip Uncle Joe McDonald, Objector Holman, and all others' who aspire to succeed Senator Harrison. "Governor Gra^l manner of operating," said a hoosier democrat, to-day, who has a good deal of direct information on the subjeet, "is cunning, and if it doesn't succeed nothing will. He has been suggesting to a good demo* cratio friend in each county, in the state that he is just the man to run for the legislature thttt he is most popular, best qualified, afifd will be easiest elected. He gives his friend a good deal of confectionery, and if he does not consent at once to become a candi date, he is written to, spoken to or waited upon by^he governor. He is incidentally given to understand that if there is anything that the executive of Indiana -can do to help him secure the nomination, and subsequently achieve success, at the polls it will be accorded him also anything that is desired at Washington. The result of this is that in about onefourth of the democratic counties in the state Governor Gray has secured his candidate. Of course, it goes for the saying that these men will vote for Gray, first, lost, and all the time. Smart trick? Well, yes but what has carried Gray through if not tricks and bovine luck? He will fix every county in the state before the snow flies." "Has the governor done anything here to promote his campaign I asked. "More than any other man in the state. I am told by members of the Indiana delegation that Gray indorses every application far place under the government that comes to him. Nine-tenths of the Indiana men appointed since the 4th of March have been indorsed by Gray, and of course it becomes noised around the state that it was Gray's name that carried them through." "Are Gray and McDonald friends?" "Oh, I presume so. But that makes no difference. Gray is for Gray, and nobody else. Then he hopes McDonald will go on the bench of the Supreme court of the United States. Gray's success in politics was due, from the start, to his reticence. He keeps his mouth closed, and no 6ne knows what he is doing." "What do you think of the reported campaign of William H. English?" "He is a candidate, but his methods are not so wiiy nor effective as those of Gray. There's no use mentioning money, influence, prestige, nor experience, when it comes to dealing with personal friends. We all know that. If Gray gets a large majority of the members of the legislature on personal grounds—by helping them to their places—they are going to support and elect him in spite 'of fate. The democrats of Indiana look upon Governor Gray as a po litical renegade, who was driven into their party, and who has staid there against his desires whose inordinate ambition for oflicc will lead him out of any party that will not continual.y honor him with the luxuries it dispenses yet this has nothing to do with the methods he so is effectually employing. Mr. English 4s a man of infinitely greater abilities, and better represents his party in the state but he cannot be elected unless he meets his opponent at Phillippi to-day. I might add that the announcement that young Mr, English is out of politics was made in the interest of the father's campaign.

THE NEW LETTER LAW,

Some Points Regarding its Benefits. The postoffice here has received instructions in regard to the special ten cent delivery system which goes into effect the 1st of October. All cities having a carrier system or a population of 4,000 and over by'the last census are en titled to the advantages. To insure the immediate 'delivery of such letters a special stamp will be provided which will cost ten cents. The regular two cent stamp will also* be required. The ecial delivery will be made between the hours of 7 a. m. and 12 midnight. At the Terre Haute postoffice additional employes will be necessary to carry out the new rule. During the day one of the extra letter carriers will be given the work, and at night one or two Bmart boys. Their compensation will depend on the sale of the special ten cent, stamp, they receiving eighty per cent, of the sales, providing the eighty per cent, does not exceed $30 a month. Mails received at night will be opened immediately and the letters beaiing the special stamp will be separated, ana if it is before 12 o'clock they will be delivered immediately. Persons receiving them must receipt for them the same as a registered letter. If the place of delivery is on the route of a regular letter carrier, and if he can deliver it as early as the extra carrier, it will be given to him, but the carrier will not receive any extra compensation Carriers are compelled to accept such letters and deliver them to the post office when the Writer offers them. Persons desiring to send such letters should be careful to ascertain the population of the town to which it is directed. The population must be 4,000 by the last cen sus. A town may have seven or eight thousand now, ana not have had 4,000 in 1880. A list of cities and to.wns which the new law effects is at the postoffice. In towns of 4,000 inhabitants letters will be delivered within a radius of one mile of the postoffice. The stamp can be at tached to a registered letter, which will require its immediate delivery.

The special delivery stamp is oblong in

ran

arched panel, bearing the figure of a mail messenger boy on a run, and surrounded by the words "United States." On the right is an oblong tablet ornamented with a wreath of oak and laurel surrounding the words "Secures immedi ate delivery at speciel delivery offices." Across the top of the tablet is the legend "Special Delivery Service," and at the bottom the words "Ten Cents," sephrated by a small shield bearing the numeral 10.

GOT HIS HEAD AT LAST.

Extraordinary Scene at the Kennion -of the N^ith Regiment at togansport. Special to tlie Indianapolis Journal.

LOCIANSFO&T, August 27.—The third annual reunion of the Ninth Indiana regimefit volunteers was held in this city yesterday and to day, and was attended by about two hundred of the members. The reunion was a success in every sense of the word, and was more largely attended than at any previous meeting.^ The chief interest to-aay centered in a' scene evoked by the reading of a letter from Major Gen. Milroy, the first colonel o£ the regiment, at present in Washington territory. General Milroy has for years filled the position of surveyor general in Washington Territory, but was recently suspended. He stated in his letter that during the war the rebels offered a reward in confederate money for his head, but were unable to claim the reward ~until Mr. Lamar was placed in charge of the interior department under Cleveland's administration, when this ex-rebel demanded his resignation, which was refused. He was then suspended by President Cleveland. At the meeting to-day a motion of sympathy for the general and censure*for the administration was of fered, which -called forth a lively discussion. After much heated talk, the censure portioh was withdrawn and the resolution passed.

PRESIDENCY OF THE POLYTECHNIC.

Mestrs. Collett and Peddle at Ann Arbor. Messrs. Josephus Collett andC. R. Peddle have gone to Ann Arbor, Michigad, to attend the meeting of the American Association pf Science, with a view, if possible, of securing a president for the Rose Polytechnic. A member of the board of trustees of that institute stated to an Express reporter that the board would not be satisfied with an ordirfary man. "He must be a man of ability, and one who can fill the position with the same schol arly dignity as President Thompson." The trustees discussed Prof. Thurston, of the Stevens institute, Hobokep, for the position, but while they were conferring among themselves Prof. Thurston accepted a position at Cornell commanding a salary of $7,0Q0 a year. Mr. Thurston gave the trustees of the Rose institute the names of several gentlemen, and the visit of Messrs. Collett and Peddle to Ann Arbor is for the purpose of conferring with them.

Susan Had 'Em.

Wnll Stroot News. A resident of Brooklyn, spending his vacation up among the hills of New Hampshire, made a call at the four-cor ners postoffice. "Any letters for White?" repeated the old gray-haired man who had charge of things. "Any relation to the Whites of Vermont?" "No, sir." "Got any relashuns in Maine?" "No, sir." "Didn't your father emigrate to Bos ton in 1852?" "No, sir." "And you expect some letters? Well, I'll see if I can't hunt you up one or two Susan's got 'em up stairs, and if any more come I'll forbid her to open 'em. Susan's heavy on ortergraphs, she is, but she orter wait until folks have read their letters."

Aebury Park Journal. A fellow is quietly making his spending money at Atlantic City by retailing liquor on the beach. He carries several large flasks in his pockets, and accosts bathers just out of the water and tells them he can give them a drink of good whisky.
