The Lafayette Journal says that "ethically speaking, Mr. Blaine done just right in refusing Mr. Edmunds' hand.'' Grammatically Rpealsingr, he did.

Mr. Morrison and Mr. Carlisle have long thought that they were especislly called upon to improve the tariff. If Mr. Cleveland has any interest as to the consequences of such meddling, they will serve as examples.

A Washington special to the Courier JournBl announces that the president has promised a member of the cabinet to turn out all Republicans in high office. This has caused great rejoicing among the hungry and thirsty.

The Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the Knights of Labor are likely to work together harmoniously and efficiently. The former organization has asked the co-operation of the Knights, recognizing their tendency to elevate women industrially, and their hostility to the saloon.

Richard Procter and the press of this country have combined to squelch Wig gins who won't be squelched. Notwithstanding his numerous mistakes there are plenty of people who still maintain their faith in him, and cannot find it in their kind hearts to censure him just because a disobliging earthquake failed to come to time.

If the senatorship is thrust upon Mr. McDonald, he will not refuse it. Up to this crisis in his career there is no evidence that he has been born great or has achieved greatness. It is quite as unlikely that he will attain it by the third and last method known tc politicijfns. He will be left to the enjoyment of domestic felicity, untroubled hy urgent and obtrusive cares of state.

A good many individuals are likely to discover that the old fashioned ballot box, which has been in use so long and answered every purpose, i? really in no need cf "fixing." There is a conservative prejudice against attempts that have been made in this direction, and so strong is the feeling in New Jersey that that a reward of SI ,000 has been offered by the Republican State Committee for the arrest of men who have been engaged in the business.

Fred Douglass has condemned negro minstrelsey unreservedly. He finds that the prejudice in Europe against his race is nearly as great as it is in this country, and attributes the change in opinion to the buffoonery of the end man and his coadjutors. When it is remembered that Shakespeare and the standard drama are played to empty benches, while the burnt cork artists ate greeted everywhere with crowded houses, Mr. Douglass' effort to declare a crusade against them seem hopeless.

A final contest for supremacy between the stars and the manager has been expected for some time. It has come, with victory for the manager so far as is known. Furech-Madi is a grand singer and a great actress as well, but she has met her match.

The obnoxious piece of furniture was net taken away, but the belligerant soloist was suspended till further notice. Whims and tantrums were once excuscd as the eccentricities ofjgtnius. But in this matter-of-fact age the genius is expected to pay his debts, to keep sober and mind bis manners like ordinary folk.

General Isaac S. Catlio, of Brooklyn, eftys that the Mugwumps make him absolutely sick. They had precisely the same effect on the Democratic party ia this state, and so very sick baa it been, that it was incapacitated from taking its usual aggressive part in the campaign. This ia why it was defeated, or at any rate, that ia w* at the Sentinel intimates.

To "true inwardness" and other standard phrases will now bo added "offensive partisan ship," "innocuous desuetude," "pernicious activity" and "ghoulish glee." The Cleveland family are not muob on monosyllables, but when it comes to

words of thufideriog

sound"—sound and nothing else—they can't be equaled.

Mr. Cleveland says that he has watcked the progress of the tariff question and perceives that it will be necessary for the administration to take hold of it. There will then probably follow a gymnastic performance similar to that which occurs when a man accidentally gets hold of the hot end of a poker.

Walt Whitman receives but $40 a year royalty oh his books. Considering tho demand for literature of that sort, this is a little surprising. Perhaps, however, the public prefers immorality in plain prose to that which served up in reputed blank verse.

BLAINE DID RIGHT.

Scnitor Yoorheej Very Much Delighted Tlint Eiluimids Was Snubbed. Washington Special.

Senator Voorhees in a little chat today gave a most decided opinion of the Edmunds-Blaine emeute, and especially of the party of the first part named. "Well, sir, my opinion of that affair is that whatever my estimate of Mr. Blaine may be, per se, politically speaking, he was emphatically in the right then. Edsaunds is brutal, malignant and tyrannical towards those whom he has in his power. He is a bully towards all who are afraid of him, and a coward when confronted by rn equal or superior. His abilities are greatly overestimated. I think, in view of his action towards Mr. Blaine, that that gentleman treated him with remarkable equanimity and consideration. That was not the first or only letter that the Vermont senator had written against Blaine. His sneakini ways were illustrated when he crinjjingly approached and extended the hand of friendship to the man whom he sought to strike down. Had it not been the house of mourning even a severer chastisement might have been pardonable nnder the circumstances. To make matters worse, that efi'mive young man, McMichael, did not take in tae situation. He must needs bring the two hos tiles into formal meeting by remarking that an introduction was not necessarv. 'This promiscuous introduction of every Tom, Dick and Harry is one qf the nuisances of American social and official life. It has often created embarrassment, if not collisions, which might have been avoided. It shows very little respect for either party not to give them the benefit of saying whether an introduction would be agreeable. Our American manners, in 6ome respects, are in sad need of a reform movement."

The Tall Sycamore of the Wabash had several severe parliamentary combats, it is hinted, with the Green Mountain senator in executive session, when nominations were called upforconsideratonand action. Upon one occasion, it is said, he called the Vermonter a liar, and wa3 ready to back it up. His call was not answered.

STATE PRESS

Evansville Tribune: .''Whether 'going the rounds' or not, the name of Colonel Den by for vice-president, would be a strong card. He certainly would be a vast improvement upon the nomination of W. H. English."

Lafayette Journal: "Since Bob Ingereoll has espoused the caus9 of the anarchists he declares that no man has a right to more land than be can use. This is scarcely up to the anarchists doctrine, but as a starter for the colonel it will do."

Gibson County Leader: ''The Democracy are badly rattled over their legislative defeat. With a handsome working majority in both branches of the last legislatuic, and backed this year by the infamous gerrymander, to be beaten is a 8urpriM£oo astounding for them to become iHlbnciled to in one brief month."

New Albany Ledger: "Preacher E. A. Tanner, of Plainwell, Mich., is reported to have said in a recent sermon that any Christian who refused to vote the Prohibition ticket ought to be yoked to the devil aud made to toil for a thousand years on the hot pavements of hell. His congregation have asked him to resign, which was very proper. The temperance cause is hurt most by its intemperate advocates."

.Sentenced (or Abducting a Girl.

ROCHESTER,

N. Y., December 2.—

Oliver T. Hibbard, a prominent citizen ot South Baker, Wayne county, and late president of the Rheumatic Syrup company, of Rochester, has been convicted in the Wayne county sessions of abducting a voting girl for immoral purposes, and was sentenced yesterday to one year's imprisonment in the Auburn state prieon. Hibbard is 37 years of age and is married. Five years ago he inherited 550,000 and by fast living and unwise speculation he has dissipated bis fortune and his family is left in destitute circum stances. His parents and wife have the sympathy of the community. The young girl who was abducted belonged to a respectable family in Wayne county.

Wednesday evening Mr. and W. W. Ray were agreeably prised at their home, 1750 Poplar street, by a large number of their friends. The occasion was the first anniversary of their wedding. A large number were in attendance, among them about forty railroad men and th ir families, besides many others. An elegant supper was served and an evening of rare enjryment passed. Mr. and Mrs. Ray were the recipients of many costly presents. At a late hour the company dispersed. Mr. Ray is a Vandalia train dispatcher and is held in verjf high esteem by all who know him.

INDIANA STATE NEWS.

A demd infant was found in a well at Grecnsburg last Sunday morning and the gossips are discussing the mattei with their usual amination.

Niet Roland, a printer and a local writer on the Columbus papers, died at Washington, Daviess county, last Saturday night of hemorhage of the lungs.

Mr. and Mrs. John Shields celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their isarriage recently. They are the parents of twelve children, three grand children and two great-grand children.

Willie Winborn, a colored boy of one of the best colored families of Richmond, was shot in a mimic dael and died on Wednesday evening, inflammation resulting from the wound.

Last Saturday morning Mr?. John Sopher, of Wabash, was granted a divorce from her husband, alleging cruelty and failure to provide. .In the afternoon she was married to Samson R. Smoke, evidently having learned nothing by experience.

John Irvin, of Greencastle, was awakened on Wednesday night by a peculiar noise under his window. He got his revolver, palled back the curtain and fired at what he supposed was the hand of a burglar. Nothing further was heard and the silence was explained the next morning when he foand under the window the tracks of a tramp cow.

While returning home from a visit to her playmates the little daughter of Chaa. Renteur, of Lafayette, was bitten by a savage bull-dog belonging to Win. Herriman. The dog jumped over the fence to attack the child, burying its teeth in the flesh of her leg. The wound was dressed without delay, and the owner of the dog had the animal shot.

John Roth, an employe at the Columbus Starch Works, has been declared^ insane. He was seized, at first, with fainting fits after which insanity developed which has grown worse since last Saturday. On Tuesday morning the marshal was sent for to take him to jail, and he resisted with such force that it was necessary to pinion hi9 arms. He is twentyfour years of age, unmarried and was formerly a bank cashier in Cincinnati.

A recreent bride-groom was brought into the presence of Captain T. B. Shaw, of Lafayette, recently. The officer had in his possession at the same time a marriage license and a warrant for the young man's arrest. He did not wish to marry, but was informed that he could take his choice, and was united, by the justice, to the bride who was in waiting. The unwilling husband then refused to make tho usual settlement, and the officer of the law has not been able yet, to called his fees.

Charles Stockmeyer, an employe of L. A. Harris, a blacksmith in Richmond, has been arrested for forging his name to a four-dollar order on a firm in that city.. It was detected through an error made in the initials of Harris' name. Stockmeyer asked to have the order returned to him, when this discovery was made. It was given to him, but Harris was informed of the transaction and filed the information against him. Stockmeyer had been drinking heavily for several days, and the forgery was committed while he was intoxicated.

THE COAL TRADE.

A Heavy Demand From All Quarters Indicates a Favorable Condition of Business.

NEW YORK,

December 2.—The Coal

Trade Journal, in its issue yesterday, said: "The anthracite coal trade begins the month of December in much better shape than was anticipated. There is a demand for coal in every direction, which keeps [the stock on hand down to the very lowest ebb, in fact, statistics on hand show that we go into this month with less on hand than at any time in five years. The output agreed upon will all be wanted, and the tide-water trade is likely to besboilof coal, with any degree of cold weather, for there is a large amount, due and wanted at all the interior points Coal is wanted at Chicago, and, in fact, at all the interior and western points: coal is actually scarce at many place?. Now that the lake shipping season is at an end, the resoit must be t3 rail supplies, which, under ordinary circumstance-, will continue all winter, or until orde:s have been filled. The tonnage for the last week is put at G73.253 tons, and for the season at 29,201,059, ts compared with 706,096 and 2S,699,017 toss last year. At the meeting of the Western Anthracite committee, held in this city yesterday, there was no change made in the prices for coal to be delivered during the month of December."

The extraordinary which activity pre vails in the bituminous coal industry in all parts of the country may surely be taken as an important indication of the increase and growth of industrial, pursuits. It makes no differ^fce which way one turns, the report is always the same and it can hardly be said to be in any degree a mere temporary spurt, which msy flutter for a while and then die out. Beyond question, the country is entering upon a season of more than usual activity in manufactures of a de-crip tions, and one of the first to feel this is the coal trade. There has been plenty of gossip about the railroads of the coal pool, and the result of the meeting to be held to-day is anxiously awaited. Those interested are the shippers via the New York, Lake Erie «S Westein railway, the Beech Creek, the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore Ohio, the Chesapeake & Ohio, and the Norfolk A Western roads. It is a great pity that something cannot be done to make it more of a coal operators' airangement, rather than a railroad affair. The interests of the producers of the coal have been too long subservient to those of the carrying companies. At Chicago the demand for bituminous is strong, and quotations are firmer. All points are short of coal, and yet the output was never known to be so large as this year in all directions. In Hocking and other districts of Ohio there is a very active trade bein? done, and all hands are busy. The talk of another grand pooling scheme there is likely tresult in something."

STATE POLITICS.

liovemcr Orejr Exprestc* Hlmtalf oa Grea Smith Porter Offends Harrison.

The IcdianapoliB News of last evening contained a column of interesting state politics. There have been volumes written about Governor Gray's position on the question of the succession of Green Smith to the lieutenant governotship, says the News, and the legality of the election of Colonel Robertson to fill the vacancy. An opportunity was given the governor tc-day to express himself on these matters. He had not considered the questions with a view to declaring himself, but ventured the opinion that in case of his death (he didn't include vacancy from any other cause—his election to the senate, for instance), Green Smith, president pro tern of the benate, would become governor of the state Coionrl Robertson, even if constitutionally elected, woald not succeed to his office, and to the line of succession to the governorship until after the oath of office has been administered to him, when the legislature convenes The governor said that the mat ter of Green Smith's permanent right to the lieutenant governorship is now re' ceiving attention in the court and individual opinions thereon are best withheld but he thought that there had been some misunderstanding of his relation to the case. The attorney general had been strongly of the opinion that there should be an election of lieutenant governor and when asked for a decision by the gover nor had so decided ,* that decision was published and, as by common consent, both .parties decided to put candidates in the field. The governor said that he had probably suggested to his party that it would be well for the democracy to nominata a candidate as a precautionary measure, but that he had resisted the entreaty of some of the party to issue a proclamation that an election should take place, and had from the first been rather inclined to the opinion that an election was not necessary under the law. He did not officially cail for an election, and now preferred that the courts should decide upon its legality.

The possibilities of the politicians in the coming legislature either in taking the offensive or on the defensive, are seen to be unlimited the more the legislative situation is studied. For instance the Democracy, by making a substitution of two Democrats for Republicans would obtain a two-thirds majority in the senate, and could effectually block any action ef the Republican house. With a two-thirds majority and no fear of the destruction of a quorum by the withdrawal of the Republican members, the senate might adjourn over the day appointed for the election of a senator and peisist in so doing, if necessary, until a senatorial vacancy nnder the constitution would be declared. In this event the governor could appoint a successor to Senator Harrison— if he would. But there is probably a rub. Governor Gray, with the lead in the race, would not become a party to this scheme and graciously appoint some other man—and he could hardly appoint himself. The entire business is an intricate game of chess-playing, and each player need not complain of means to checkmate the opposition. In this case, however, it is a game without the domain of morals. The ministerial association would be sustained in passing condemnatory resolutions.

Congressman Bynum is opposed to the preservation of ballots after they have once bfien carefully counted. He says it is the greatest inducement to fraud that presents itself to election conspirators. He never knew of a recount that did not produce different results from the first ones reached. Let it be known that there will be but one count and that after the count the ballets will be instantly and completely destroyed, and the different parties will see to it that the first count is carefully and honestly made. In New York this method is followed and it is in great favor because of the good results discernable. A recount, Mr. Bynum says, affords the most abundent opportunities for fraud. A few pssters in the hands of the recounters or the partisans present can be applied so as to change the result of the election and place it beyond hope of restoration. A scratch of a pencil may even do the work. He sees nothing good that can corae out of a recount.

The vacancy in ihe secretaryship of the Republican state central committee will probably not be filled for the present. The only candidate for tho place so far as reported is Albert Davis, of Lib erty.

Among the candidates for doorkeeper of the house of representatives is J. Parke, of Johnson county.

Ira M. Krutz is understood to have received the appointment of district attorney for Idaho, through the influence of Congressman Springer, of Illinois, with whom he is related by marriage, backed by the recommendation of the congressional delegation of this state, and he will leave for Washington to night to see if the appointment cannot be changed to Washington territory, where he would much prefer to serve. Some man from Maryland has been appointed to the latter place, and he will endeavor to effect an exchange with him.

The Rev. W. T. Ackman, representa-tive-elect from Hancock county, talks hard sense. He says that too much prominence is given the coming contest for the senatorship and too little to tbe needed legislation that is or ought ta be pending. He says that a bill will be in troduced, providing for the separation of the soldiers' orphans' home and the home for the feeble-minded.

Representative Say re, of Wabash county, speaking of the possible trouble ahead in the legislature, says that "the trouble with the Democrats is that, in time of peace, they are for bloodshed, violence and ruin, but in time' of war they

W8nt

peace^' He quotes Captain

Kidd, late Democratic candidate for congress against Major Steels, as saying tfaSt Meagher (Democrat), of Vigo county, is ineligible, and that Ma,ckey (Republican), of Knox, should also' be unseated, or there will be h—1.

Henry Eaglehardt, of Knox county, defeated Democratic candidate for the legislature, has'found work in this city. He claims that the Republicans of Knox county have made life a burden in beseeching him to withdraw his contest against Mackey, his successful Republican opponent. He claims that two Republicans followed him to this city and tried to persuade him to take a drink with them. He thinks that they meant michief, and says that he wants to be let alone. The Democracy ought to appoint a guardian for Mr. Eoglehardt.

There is considerable comment in political circles over ex-Governor Porter's speech at the Republican meeting yesterday in which he mentioned the names of three leading candidates for the president, Mr. Blaine, Senator Harrison and Judga Gresham especially. Senator Harrison, it is understood, was considerably ofiended by this, not by any alleged effort on the part of Mr. Porter, in behalf of anybody else, but because he1 as a presidential candidate, nnder the circum* stances. He took occasion to say as much to Mr. Porter, claiming that there was neither reason, nor a demand for

{snch a statement, and that it was in con sequence, untimely and not in the best Jacobs possible taste. Governor Porter^ disclaimed any intention to be oftenaivel/

personal and thus the matter rested It created considerable feeling among their friends, and around ihe^politicfl headquarters.

A DEMOCRATIC SCHEME.

Offer to pre entoivo Stckt Which He Reject Wit^i Kcorn. Special to tha Express.

SrixrvAN, December 1.—One Smith, a member of a committee with T. Foreman Mackey, father of the newly-elected member of the legislature from Knox and Gibson, at the recent meeting of the Knights of Labor of Evansville, lately came to our city and proceeded directly to the residence of Mr. Mackey, although late at night. He said to Mr. Mackey: "I have an important matter to submit to yon—a matter which involves the seat of your son in the next legislature ef Indiana." "Well," said Mr. Mackey, "let us hear what you have to say." "It is this," said Smith. "You know a contest is being made for your son's seat in the next legislature on the ground that he has not resided in this state continuously for two years immediately preceding the late election?'' "Yes," said Mr. Mackey, "1 know of the contest." "Well," said Smith, continuing, have it in my power to do you snd your son a favor—a favor which will secure to him his seat." "Thank you, Mr. Smith. Auv favors you can grant ns will be gratefully received and highly appreciated both by my son and myself."

Mr. Smith said: "It is thif. If your son will pledge his support to Mr. By num foi senator of the United States, the Democrats will withdraw the contest filed against your son."

Mr. Mackey said nothing. After short pause Mr. Smith resumed "Our folks would like to see you Rnd your son at the committee rooms at Indianapolis right away. Your expenses will be paid, and I assure you, you will both be cordially received by our friends."

Mackey was somewhat puzzled, and was at a loss to know what to do, but finally managed to say: "Well, Mr. Smith, I cannot entertain your ptoposiiioD, but I will say that you would better go to Yincennes and present the matter to Bob."

Mr. Smith concluded to go and see Robert, the member elect, and asked Mr. Mackey to accompany him. To this Mr. Mackey assented, for he felt he would like to be present with his counsel when the proposition should be made to his son, and to make Mr. Smith feel at ease he appeared both pleasant and communicative on the way to Vincennes. 'they reached Yincennes a little past midnight, leaving Sullivan on the about 11 o'clock p. m. train. They repaired at once to the residence of Robert Mackey, awoke that gentleman from his slumbers, and after a few pleasant preliminaries Mr. Smith put the above proposition to the newly elected member. Robert was astounded—almost bloodless with resentent, and after an embarrassinc silence, said: "Smith, you area Knight of Labor?" "Yes," said Smith. "And you r~tp fi i'.h a outrageous scheme. Tbe darkest corner in this earth would be too lijjlil for me, were I to do such a thing as that. Why, Smith, I do not see how I could do that."

Mr. Smith, finding that young Mackey was deposed to stand by his integrity, closed his le- itlalive talk with a statement that Mr. Bynum had always stood by the Knights cf Labor, and he "felt that, as Knights of Labor, they should stand by him. Then changed the conversation to some matters that had come before the Knights at Evansville a few hours before, directing his conversation to the elder .Mackey. Upon taking his eave, he added in a lower tone and with a confidential hint, that "yon gen'lemen mu*1 not make up'a final judgment against this proposition 1 have made for 1 certainly feel that the matter will bear your dispassionate consideration, and 1 want you toco to Indianapolis, where the matter will be fully explained, and know you will learn that it will be to the advantage of the Knights of Labor in the state and nation at larec."
