A London cablegam announces that at a meeting of the socialists in that city an agitator named Eossiter said if Governor Oglesby signed the death warrant of the condemned anarchists, he would be slain. Eossiter can talk at a safe distance. He is probably a big bag of wind, something like O'Donovan Eossa.
Mr. Blaine's "insult" to Mr. Edmunds seems to have been taken greatly to heart by Democrats and Mugwumps. Straightout Republicans are of the opinion that, so far as Edmunds is cancerned, it served him right. Mr. Blaine, at least, cannot be accused of endeavoring to make himself popular at the expense of candor and honesty.
Green Smith, the state senator from Jenning county, began injunction proceedings yesterday to prevent the secretary of state transmitting the vote on lieutenant governor to the house. If the state senate, when it convenes next January, should elect another president pro tem., Mr. Smith would be left without a shadow of a-claim.
The gerrymander was the outcome of Democratic legislation in 18S4. The election of a Democratic senator will be its chief accomplishment in 183S, if its well laid plans do not miscarry. The gerrymander has just had its rebuke and the last and worst scheme will receive another so emphatic that it shall be apparent to even obtuse Democratic comprehension. ____________
Kansas prohibition does not differ greatly from that of Maine or Georgia. A fierce warfare ia going on between the newspapers of Topeka and Leavenworth, each charging the other with shameful and flagrant violation of the law. In Leavenworth whisky is drunk, as it is in cities where there are no temperance lams, as a sovereign remedy ior ail the maladies that human flesh is heir to for earache, toothache, rheumatism snd dyspepsia. In Topeka it is to be purchased only at drug stores, but it may be had there in every grade, from the lankest snake juice to prime oily Bourbon. An enterprising editor thinks that the Topeka drug-store plan is adding hypccrisv to lawlessness.
Goben,the defaulting Democratic candidate for auditor of Montgomery county, was nominated over honorable and competent men, in opposition to the expressed wishes of Democrats of the better class, it is a disgraceful fact that he was elected by Republicans who were both disloyal to their .party and who were willing to put back into office a man whom honorable Democrats oold not support. Hundreds of Democrats voted
for Urowu others tiitl not vote sit &H for auditor, and the man's most bitter enein lea were honorable men in his own party. Republicans who are responsible for the present state -of aflsirs are Hot likely to be forgotten. They have worked their own undoing, and may as well relinquish any aspiration they have for substantial recognition in the future. Thev have shelved themselves.
The last election was a proof that the people of Indiana had had aboufenough of Democratic legislation. The transaction rf important business was diferred until it was necessary to call an extra session. Even then, nothing was ac complished but partisan legislation, of which the gerrymander is an example. The more decent portion of the Democratic press, the Evansville Courier in particular, condemned its proceedings, and proph esied results that have been mote than verified. But the party leaders have learned nothing Ly experience. They are already plotting schemes, even more disgraceful than those of two years ago which the Democratic solons will pro ceed to carry into effect as soon as the legislature convenes. The proposed plans are varied, cunning and numerous. If one fails, there are a dozsn others in reserve, all bearing upon the one important purpese of electing a Democrat to Bucceed Senator Harrison. This cannot be accomplished by any fairness, if the results of an honest election are to be regarded. That they are not to be is already evident, but the party managers are warned that their success will be dearly bought.

It is announced from the treasury department that owing to the large amounts the government was cailed upon to pay during November, the public debt will be decreased $1,000,000. It frould be cruel to intimate that the government strained a point or two during the months preceding the election.
dishonesty will insure a Republican ma jority in 1886, that will sweep every thing before it.
John L. Goben, the Democratic candidate for auditor in Montgomery county, received a majority of seventecjp votes over his Republican opponent, George B. Brown. Thsre were some known and flagrant violations of the election laws which prompted Mr. Brown to demand a recount. This did not change the result and Mr. Brown, through his attorneys, proceeded to investigate Mr. Goben's eligibility By this it has been shown that when Goben went out of office as treasurer, September I, 1885, he was given a credit of $7,730.45, "to balance a deficiency" by W. H. Herren, his successor, also a Democrat, and that, so far as Mr. Herren knew nothing had been yet paid thereon. Mr. Schench, a former commissioner, testified that the defiency still existed, and that a credit had been given that the incoming treasurer might begin without having a deficiency to carry Mr. Goben was not released therefrom. After hearing the arguments, the commissioners, who are Democrats, retired, and it twenty minutes returned, declaring Goben a defaulter at the time of his election and therefore not eligible to office. The case will be appealed and it remains to be seen if a man notoriously incompetent, and a defaulter in addition to this, can be given charge of an office more complicated and difficult than the first, whose affairs he mismanaged so disastrously. It wi'I be a dangerous precedent to establish, and the final decision will hardly be in Mr. Gobin's favor.

The St. Licuis Republican thinks that if there is-any tehcnicality under which Sunset Cox might consolidate the salaries of congressman and minister to Turkey he is not the man to take advantage of it. This is all very well: bat jt should be remembered that Mr. Cox is mortal and a Democrat.
STATE PRESS.
Vincennes Commercial: "Honesty, sobriety and capability are the requisites in officers of all classes. The people have learned, by bitter experience, that only those possessing the above qualifications shouid be trusted."
Madiscn Courier: "Grand Army men are complaining that Dr. Dabney, recently appointed on the medical board of the pension office, was a guard et Andersonville prison. They do not like the idea of such an officer passing upon pension application of Union soldiers'"
New Albany Ledger: "There is no doubt that the dissemination of sound political doctrine throueh the circulation of well conducted newspapers is the best service the machinery of parties can render. It is the cheapest, the most lasting, the mo6t effective and the most honorable."
Richmond Palladium: "Congress will meet next week, and the President is busy writing his message. It will undoubtedly be a long one, for Mr. Cleveland does not possess the power of cendensation, and seems to think a statement is Btrong in proportion to the number of words used in exprssing it.
Sullivan Democrat: "Some fellow at Terre Haute claimed to have felt the shock of the earthquake last August, while no one at Evansville felt it. The Terre Haute newspapers crowed over the Ohi® river town but now Evansville claims to have seen a series of celestial tableaux and a meteroric shower last week, while no such free show was seen up here. This evens up matters.".
Canada Bill.
Globe-Democi at. Canada Bill, was the greatest nionte man and crost-roader that we ever had in this country. He died at Scranton, Pa, and 1 remember his funeral very well. We went out to the graveyard with the body, and just as the coffin was being lowered into the grave one of the Darty broke out: "I'll beta hundred to fifty he's not in the box!" and there wasn't a man to take it. "For," said another, "I've known him to get ont of as tight places as that." Bill was known from one end of the country to the other. It was a story generally circulated just before his death that he had offered a railroad corporation $25,000 a year for the privilege of playing monte and doing "con." work generally, and guaranteeing to tackle no passengers but ministers.

HOW ANTS LIVE.
Their Love 'ol Cleanliness and Their Modes^of Burial. Cosmopolitan.
In spite of the multifarious duties and tasks that are imposed on these tiny burghers, they still find time to clean and adorn their worthy little persons. No spot, no atom of dust or anything else will they tolerate on their bodies. They get rid of the dirt with the brushy tufts on their feet or with their tongue. They act for all the world like domestic cats when they clean and lick themselves, and they assist one another at the toilet precisely like monkeys. Their set.se of cleanliness goes so far that the naturalist often finds, to his unpleasant surprise, the colored marks that he had applied with so much care on his "trial ants" removod by their dirt-hating friends. They keep their dwellings just as clean.
But the conveying away of their deceased brethren, whose dead bodies they appear to regard with the greatest antipathy, gives them more trouble than anything else. When some members of the ant community, which Mr. Cook kept imprisoned, died and could not be removed, those remaining seemed affected with the greatest horror. For days the insects ran about seeking a way out, and ceased only when exhausted. The ants belonging to the camponotous species seized the dead and threw them into a water pail, which they converted into a lepulcher. Ordinarily, though, the ants are said to treat their dead with more reverence. They even possess their own graveyards, which lie in the vicinity of their nests. They convey their deceased companions thither, where they lay them down in orderly little heaps or in rows.
It is only the corpses of their fellows, however, that they treat in this manner: dead strangers they throw out like something unclean, or tear the body in pieces. Even between the masters snd slaves of the same community Miss Treat says she ha8 observed a dissimilar mode of burial. While the masters find their last repose in a special graveyard, side by side, the slaves lie heaped-up refuse near the nest, despised equally in death as in life.
The ant cemeteries are often thickly populated, for their life is short. The male lives only through one summer the females live somewhat longer, and the workers die of old age in the eighth or tenth year.
Begging an Office for a Mule. Washington Letter tc the Pittsburg Penny Press.
When Governor Shepherd had charge of the public works here he was rather particular in regard to the politics of the men he employed. A Republican was tolerably sure of getting a job, but a Democrat was invariably rejected. During the war Peter O'Day was the most rabid kind of a Democrat indeed, it was hinted that his sympathies were with the South in the struggle. To return to my story. One day Peter drove the moet disconsolate and dejected looking mule that I ever Baw down to Shepherd's office. He went in and said: "Governor, will yez be afther giving me a job to-day.
Shepherd looked him square in the eye and said: "If I am not very much mistaken, you are the same man who was in the habit of hurrahing for Jeff Davis during the war."
Peter's countenance changed in a second, but he glanced out of the window and seemed to get inspiration, for he said: "I'm not afther looking for work for mcself. For the love ef God, look at me mule and refuse him, if you can." Shepherd looked at the mnle and gave Peter plenty of work to do.
Of far greater value than money is health therefore, for coughs and colds use Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, the infallible remedy. Price 25 cents.

POLICE WORK.
Superintendent Lawlor's Report for the Month of November. The regular meeting of the police board was held Monday at City hali. Superintendent M. Lswlor made his report for the month of November. The report shows 227 arrests for*1the month, aB follows: Assault and and battery 8, burning rubbish after 12 m. 1, climbing on cars 1, concealed weapons 1, drunk 85, false pretenses 1, fugitives 2, fighting 1, insane 1, incorrigibility 1, inmates 8, keepers of houses of ill fame 4, larceny S, canva&ing without license 3, on complaint of citizens 9, prostitutipn 1, transient 48, trespass 1, Vagrancy 4, throwing in streets and alleys 2.
The patrol wagon made* 178 runs. Six sick persons were removed, 2 injured and 170 runs. The stable expenses amounted to S32.05.
Among the reports made were: Attempted suicide 1, complaints disposed of 107, death by accident 1, death by suicide 2, children lost and found 3, new buildings 11, injured by accident 8, sent to hospital 4, friendly inn 15, penitentiary 1, vacant houses 425, houses relet 137, value of city property stolen $57.68, value of property recovered SI 10.
Superintendent Lawlor, in his report, says in regard to fires: "I would suggest to your honorable body that a fire alarm gong, such as is used in the engine and reel houses, be placed in police headquarters. My reasons are obvious. When an alarm is sounded the exact location of the fire is at once knowfr snS in cass the fire chances to be in a densely populated portion of the city, or where there are factories or establishments where employes are working on the upper floors of buildings, a detachment of police can at once be dispatched by means of the patrol wagon and render valuable service in the saving of life and property.
Again in cases, such as we have experienced during the past month, and a*, several times previous, officers can be immediately sent to the fire and by prsmpt, energetic action, be better able to apprehend the criminal who may have fired the building."
COAL POOL TALK.
Several Gigantic Coal Poola Sail to Have Been Formed—A Denial. NEW YORK,November30.—TheHerald Bays: "There is to bean immediate advance of from 25 to 30 per cent, in bituminous coal. The price is to be put higher than it has baen for three years. Two great combinations have been formed to control the entire soft coal output of the country. This means a rise of GO cents per ton to the retail consumer. One of the pools is. the Ohio pool. It will regulate the output from the Ohio fields. It includes four coal railroads of that region, the Hocking Valley, Wheeling's Lake Erie, the Toledo & Ohio Central and Panhandle. They met last week with the coal operators. The operators agreed to put up their prices 30 cents at once and 30 cents more about the 1st of January. The roads advanced coal freight rates gbout 25 per cent. The other pool is the Buffalo pool. It includes three railroads controling the coal product of which BuSalo is the market, namelv, Rochester A Pittsburg, Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia, and the Erie. They bring the yield from the Western Pennsylvania field. The same advance in prices is arranged by the pool as above described.
NELSOUVILLE, O., November 30.—W. B. Brooks, jr., of the firm of W. B. Brooks & Son, among the largest coal operators in the valley, said to-day that there was no truth in the statement that the operators were forming a soft coal pool to advance the price of coal 25 per cent, although they have been for some time trying to raise the price, from 10 to 12A cents per ton, but have been unsuccessful. Walter Crafts, treasurer of the Columbus and Hocking Coal and Iron company, at Columbus, emphatically denies the truth of the story. He states that this is sensational vagary that is not worth denying.
Knocked. Down by an Egg. At New Haven, Conn., Dr. Barber assistant to Professor Marsh in the Peabody museum, was knocked insensible by the explosion of a huge OBtrich egg, and narrowly escaped with his life. A number of eggs were sent to the doctor from Cape Town, Africa. Dr. Barber proceeded to open the eggs in order to observe the embryo. With a small file he cut a hole in the shell of one of the eggs. Immediately there was a hiss and an explosion which shook the building and knocked Mr. Barber senseless. He recovered consciousness in a few moments, aad it was found that his injuries were triflng. The egg was 18 inches in circumference and weighed about four pounds. Scientists in the college have never heard of such an accident before.
The Indiana Reformatory. The Indiana Reformatory Institution for Women and Girls now has 183 inmates, fifty-four in the penal department and 120 in the reformatory department. Eleven are life prisoners. Three deaths occurred during tbe year. During the past fiscal year the sum of $2,756.25 was received from the work of inmates, and $2,153.84 expended on material Of the annual appropriation of $30,000 the sum of $4,394.54 was spent for improvements and the remainder for maintenance. The institution is in need of a chapel and hospital, and the legislature will again be asked to appropriate money for these improvements.
Wat ergon's Address to Colored Men.
LOUISVILLE, November 50.—Mr. Htnry Waterson ,'ast euening addressed Qe Freedman's Home society, which is a colored men's co-oporative society for the purchase and colonization of western lands. Mr. Watterson urged the colored people to look at education and to country life for the betterment of their condition. He thought they should not seek city life. They had made much progress and would advance further still. In some states they would form a majority of citizens in years hence. The feeling between races was becoming more fraternal and there was no danger of a race war ever occuring.
A Yearly Occurrence.
STBACCSE, N. Y., November 30.—The newly-completed buildings comprising the Kincaid-Callahan-Dempsey block, in Geddes, were completely destroyed by fire this morning. The loss is $21,000, with an insurance of $16,000. This is the third time in three years that the block has been burned.

THE CONTEST.
Connt Completed, and ttoa«ty Still Aheid. The board appointed by Judge Mack to make a recount of the votes cast in Vigo county for Downing and Beasley, concluded its work at about 8 o'clock yesterday morning. The result cf the recount is a net gain of 6 for Beasley, which increases his majority over Downing from 24 to 30 in this district, Downing having had a net gain of 7 in Vermillion county by a recount last week. The count was a very Ion and tedious one. A number of votes evidently cast for Downing, but upon which th« name was spelled Browning or Dowling were net counted.

BARRYMORE S SHORT MEMORY
Forgot His Baggage and Manuscript— Lost Jlis Ticket. San Franoisco Chronicle.
If the following few remarks should affect the sensibilities of the ladies who are in love with and believed they would live in ths recollection of Maurice Barrymore,the manly young actor who played in Modjeska's company here lately, I shall be very sorry but I can't help it. Maurice is the genuine "man without a head." His memory is so short that he can't take hold of it. Wnen he was coming out to fill this last engagement at the Baldwin, and to produce his new play, he met with such a series of adventures that it is astonishing he got here at all, or got through after he did. He had left New Yorp and reached Chicago when he sent this telegram to Hayman: "MuBt go back. Forgot my baggage."
Hayman telegraphed to him to come on, and let his baggage follow. He reached Denver, and then sent another message: "In great trouble, Lost mv ticket. Fix it."
It was fixed, and with a few minor accidents he reached San Francisco. "Well," said the manager, after the usual welcome. The welcomes at the theaters here are alwayspleasant, but it's the good-by that is full of pain. The manager does not often go to see the com pany off. "Well, I am anxious to read 'Nadjesda.' Where's the manuscript?" "Great heavens!" said Bajrymore. "I forgot it. I lent it to a fellow he was to send it, and he didn't. What is to be done?"
There was consternation for awhile, but the last n^annscript arrived, sent on from New York. Tbe n'sht of the opening Came and the cuitaiu was about to go up. "All ready," yelled the call boy. "Hold on! Hold on!" cried Barrymore. "Keep that curtain down a minute it all. I've forgot my wardrobe."
But what he had did well enough, and he went on.
GOOD NEWS FOR BROWNING.
The Poet is Vnderstood and App.'eristed in Chicago. Chicago Tribune.
For some time Chicago has revelled in Browning clubs, but last year they were all gathered into a cyclus of Browning culture and appreciation, and since that time the poet himself has seen fit to remark that he would rather be known in the blue Venice by the lake than be immortal in London. In fact, the vague culture has always needed such a focus as the Browning society. Although the attendance was not large last evening there was an abundance of sweetness, light and soulfulness. The Rev. Mr. J. Lloyd Jones read a paper entitled: "Why I Pronounce Robert Browning a Poet." "Firstly," began Mr. Jones, "I pronounce Mr. Browning a poet because he is a poet of unpopularity. He is one of the minority of which God is one. [Sensation.] I will repeat, he is one of the minority of which God is one. His poems are mysterious, soulfu'— "The whole seems to fall into a shape.
As if 1 saw alike his work and him, And all that he is born to be and is. A twilight piece— in the words of the master. "Secondly, I pronounce Mr. Browning a poet because [expectant hush he is the poet of unsuece83. He hymns the purpose, and not the end the endeavor, and not the achievement. The total of a msw is wh«t he intends, not what he does. Even though your verses be unwritten, you area poet, if you feel as such. This is Browni'g's philosophy: 'Yoa are a poem, though your poem's naught,in the words of the master. The soul-thing of the infant-thing yearns upward to faith. The infant-thing reaches to its mother's knee. Only once, perchance, and then it crawls for weeks. But the moment the infant-thing stood erect and touched the mother-thing's knee was the measure of its power so the master. The sum of endeavor, not of attainment, is God's judgment measure. O, but God and Browning are in the minority, forsooth.
Flead the Babj.
LONDON, November 30.—Jem Smith and Jack Knifton have been training for weeks for a prize fight for the championship of Great Britain, and a fight was arranged to come off near Paris to day. A train load of sporting men, including several members of the nobility, left London last evening to witness the affair. At the last moment Knifton funked, asserting that 8mith's friend6 were unduly numerous, and would prevent fair play. Sporting men and his backers were loud in thdr denunciations of Knifton's allegations, and are disgusted with his behavior.

A DAMlVs "HOUSE
Protectdby Fir Tnm Wbidh Meaaur«* Th«lr Height by Rod. and Their Shadow* by Farloog*.
Life in one of the old families of wealth and position in Japan is full of unique and picturesque interest, says a writer in the Overland Monthly for No, vemter. We may call it heathen if we will, but it is still a home, and replete with suggestive home history.
Well do I remember one such, a grand old house of tolid timber, sixty-nine feet broad by 100 deep, with lofty rooms and long, wide corridors. It one story had an immense end imposing sloping roof which covered fourteen apartments aad many b»lo"r:es. The eliding partitions could ail be removed, aid make on occasion a noble h.-ll wi?h many column The ceiling was made of fine-grained wood, and fifteen feet from the floor.
The front of this house was protected from tbe inquisitive gaze cf tbe world by wall of tiles built with cement, and lined with a row of firs with mighty eirth and far-sprelin.™ branches which "measured their height by rod6 and their shadows by /urlongs." The main gate of the court-yard was su| ported by heavy tree trunks, and covered with a handsome roof, while just within was the porter's lodge.
Near this lodge was a clump of evera greens, and under their shdow stood an ark cut from solid stone, perhaps four feet high, used as the family sbrine, and holding iu its depths sacred emblems and holy symbols. Just beyond was a rockery of great beauiy, where fountains tossed their spray, and played with sun and moonbeams, Here and there the mockunji tree shed its purple blosioms to the breeze from lofty heights, while azalias and starry asters bloomed about its foot.
All about the garden, camellias of brilHant red or purest white unfolded their lovely buds from low growing shrubs, while now and then a camellia tree towering fifty feet in the air drew the eye with its lovely wax-like bios soms.
