TUESDAY, JANUARY II, 1887

Tin) Democratic ltieinbers of the legis l.iture have paved the way for a big Re publican majority in Indiana iu 1888,

The girl with the tall hat is biding from public view the man who goes out of the theatre between acts. Of the two niiiniinccH, lie is the greater, and should cone in for his rightful thare of execra tion.

The opening and counting of the votes for lieutenant governor, by the speaker of the House yesterday, is perhaps the only .•lection count for half a dorsen years, in Indianapolis, in which Him Coy had no hand.

It is quite evident that Democratic rule has not benetitted Indiana. Since the advent, of the Democratic party in power in the state ex|endittireB have xceed the iucome, and the value of iaxable properly has fallen ofl $54,000,000. ____________

Lafayette has an orchestra of thirtylive m^mbars who, the Sunday Times iyb, are more or less familiar with the iotti uments astitned thein. This leaves ii wide margin for conjecture Ihe oi itanizition must be something novel in the way.

They had a hi{ old time in the legislature at Indianapolis, yesterday. The Democrats did their best to over ride 'uw and order, 1.lit the inauguration of .he lieutenant governor went on, in accordance with the provision of the condilution, all the same.

It seems that Judge Thurmau was not Kck after all. The Ohio Democrats were •. applied with a lot of very bad whisky :nd bad speeches. Kverybody was drunk except the judge, and they concluded he was sick and hauled him '.ome in a carriage.

Mr. Watltrsun would not attend the Jackson banquet, fearing ihat lie might )se bis temper and say something hatsh. I'hia touching regard for the amenites •tight to have a proper influence with ,'oorhrcs, Curler Harrison and other lis-torical banqueters.

"A ftllow feeling makes tiB wondrous i.ind," was an observation made nore than a century 8go. This 1 as true, now, as it was then, and explains why the president is so anxious to award Mr. Needier for his services durig the campaign of 1881 tl..J (iov. (iray's withdrawal from the senajrial race is an admiteion that the elecion and inauguration of the lieutenant -oieruor is in accordance with law. Had he felt,sure that Green Smith would i'.Hveeuccetded him a%governor, he would not have withdrawn, for he could have lid out McDonald in the caucus.

A TolonoT I-l correspondent of the Commercial (Uzstte calls attention to ilie fact that graves of Union soldiers at Audersonville have not been decorated for years, that even the American flag is not raised in the National cemetery there unless visitors are expected, simply because it is offensive to the I people of the neighborhood.

It ii not for ntthing that Governor tiray has admitted that he could not be

candidate lot United States eenator, be citne there is no Democratic lieutenantgo7arnor to mccecd him. A m*n with a smile so chi'd like and bland bi» always has an object ill ^hat is, apparently, disinterested frankness. It Is difficult to ttII which the governor dtBlre* motif, his own advanreinent or the discoaifiture of McD.nald and his hench-

Lvary ore: in a whil the citixens are treated to a ididittire avalanche when a block sf stone weijibiog eiflht or nine tons, drops frr in tl.e cornice or elst where, to the sidewalk. The Chicsgoan has the reputfttion of I eiDg a faat iriin, and it is this characteristic, no doubt, that liss, thus »r enabled him to dodge the falling bodies ith such remarkable EUCteas. The sidewalk, on three sides of the building, has been fenced ofl for more than year, to the inconvenience of ptdnlriats *n»l the detriment of business in ihat vicinity. Nothing has dropped for a uionth or tucro, and the respite has induced the public to ask for the removal of the fence, and tho entire city is divided into two factions, fencers, acd no fencers.

Tha hUtorical frttcu in the dome.of the capitol at Washington oannot be completed beraueo the history has given out. If tho press of tha Ur.ited States cannot matufaitnro to order, all that is lacking and more, it is not wlml it is reputed to bo.

Tho Now Vnrk Star rocelnded an appeal for thi) respite of Mrs. Druse with this quotation: "Time flies, dt-atli urjes, Lnolls osll, heaven invitee, hell threatens." The last causs, in her caso, is peculiarly appropriate.

Tho Kiigliah of the New Albany Ledger is usually above reproach, but it mixes its mataphors in a funny way when it calls the Now York Tribune "ihu old king bee of all Lho bloody Bhirt-weartrs."

OLD WAR DAYS.

Keiiiln i«e mu the e'ojijiurl o..it C.inN])irncjr la IikIImiii- lluw Muiton .Undo ii Solillor Out ()o||orh» Inter-Ocean. "Morton," said an old Indiana politician, "was the victim of a good many auiinositiee in his day, and he had a sort of rough-handed diplomacy in setlliug controversies that was very effective. At one time there was a secret rueeling of the Copperheads of the state, members of the Knights of the Golden Circle, and others, and at the inside conference of the steeling committee it was decided that, under certain circumstances it would be nects3ary to kill Governor Morton. At that time tho governor had about him a number of very shrewd detectives. Home of these were present at th-'s secret meeting and reported all that was said to Morton hlmsalf. The governor at once took action, and several of the more prominent conspirators were arrested. The day after their arrest a man somewhat prominent in Democratic councils called on the governor and complimented him for his courage in making the arrests. "'The governor listened courteous I :iud at the close of the remarks said bluntly 'l ought to have you arres'.ed ilso. You were at the meeting, and, if tlie report is correct, your advice was as bad as that of the men already arrested Hut occurred to me that could use you as an informer, and therefore I did not have you arrested.' 'Tliie startled the democratic wire-puller out of I he attitude that he had assumed, and he begged that he not b3 called on tho trial declaring that he would be willing to do nnything that he would go into the tervice that he would raise a company, and that ho would go to the front. The governor staled that there would be no need of calling him because he was master of the situation and he had no advice to give him. The governor dismissed the gentleman with the assurance that while he knew all about the plans of the extreme copperheads he had no disposition to be vindictive. The man who had come to secure the good will of the governor by hollow compliments left him greatly impressed with his earnestness. He raised a company for the army, went into the service, and made a good record."

STATE PRESS.

Lafayelle Courier: "The Democrats learn uothiug and forget nothing. The proof came in the way they organized (he senate."

Lafayette Sunday Times: "Just think t.f it! Here Martin Luther has been dead a matter of a few centuries, and ihey are just raising a subscription to idve him a monument, which the Kaiser William heads with $12,000. There's iiope for the Graiil fund yet."

New Albany ledger, Democrat: "O'Dounovsn Rossa, the earst-while bloody and blahmouthed dynimiter, bss letn expelled from the Fenians for 'dishonesty, deceit, treachery and perfidy.' The Ledger long ago wrote him down as a blackguard and a scoundrel."

Richmond Palladum: "In this matter I maneuvering for position the Republicans have decidedly the advantage and lave p'-aced the Democrats where they won't bo able to move at all without surendering the game. It may possibly esult in 'a draw,' but it has effectually ireAented the Democ rats from winning on that Une of play."

CrawfordsviUo Journal: "The growth of manufactories in South Oaroina for 1886 has been marvelous. Four imes the amount of capital is now invested there, than at the outbreak of the rebellion, and five times as miny hands mployed. The income of the people is much in excess of what it wes in "si vcrydayH.' The South needs less politics and more enterprise, to make it one of the richest.sections of the Union. This they are slowly reaching with the advent of men from the North."

Exciting Runaway.

An exciting runaway took place about 9 o'clock yesterday morning. A beer wagon which delivers Schlitz beer, was standing fn front of the Cincinnati house. The horses became frightened and started to run. They went through the alley to Third street. They then turned and ran back on Cherry street to Fourth asd tinallv stopped by running up on the sidewalk in front of Jack Grier's saloon, where both horses fell. Oae of the animals was injured although not seriously. The wagon was not damaged but had lost part of its load before the runaway team was stopped.

WASHINGTON,

D. C, Jan 10.—There

eeetns to be no doubt any longer of the passage of the Inter-Siate commerce bill. Sontiment in congrtm and ont of it aeems to have changed a good deal with reference to this, all in the past fortnight. The chances seem to be now that it will have arousing majority iu b^th branches of coDgre'S. Members of the house and senate who wer6 expected to be dead against it have astonished their friends by anneu.icing themselves in its favor. Many ef them do this, not because they believe in the bill, but because thero is a popular demand for it A gentleman who watches these things very closely Isnid to me to-day, "There isn't a shadow of a dcubt of the passage of the bill

Nor is there any doubt about it increasing freight rates. The people think it is going to decrease them, but they will jiod their mistake. The feature of tie bill which requires railroads to charge the same rate per mile for long or short haul, insead of reducirg the short haul rate are going to increase the prices for long haul, and iocreace them eo much, too, that it will be a very severe blow to the grain producers, end merchants of the west."

I asked Mr. Thorn, of New York, who spends a good deal of time here durng every seseion of congress, in Ihe interests sf the sugar refiners of New York, whether he thought there was likely to be any legislation affecting sugar this session. "I think nol," ho replied. "Of course we all know there are some people who want to take the tariff off of sugar, but I don't believe there will be sufficient strength to do it. Senator Sherman advocates it, but it is purely a political move on his part, and I don't believe the majority of the Republican parly will snpport him in it. Then Mr. Ran' dall and all his followers are thorougly against it. Ortaialy if there iu any in dustry in this country that needs rotection it is the sugar industry. It ia in a fair way now to make good progress The experiments by the department of agliculture in the past two years have been of great value, and the sugar makers of the South see that they- can make some money if they ttrc only let alone by the tariff tinker*™. These experiments have shown them how liiey may increase their production nesrly fifty percent, with very little additi nal cost of manufactu re." "Do you think this country will produce its own sugar by and by, Mr. Thorn? "Possibly, though I doubt whether the best sugar experiments will be a success."

The announcement that Mrs. Cleveland has a brand new pet in the shape of a South American monkey has already occasioned some desnand for those animals bore. Inquiries are made at the dealeru' establishments, and it is probable that in a little while monkeys will be quite numerous in Washington as pete. They are not so rare or difficult to obtain as might be supposed. One government official has a very interesting specimen cf the monkey race which is a souic.3 of constant amusement to nol only his own family, but to the moBt of his frienda. Monkays are quoted now in Washington markets at from to $10 a piece.

Ex Secretary Chandler is a regular church goer. He has a pew at the Unitarian Church here, and is almost always there. I saw him in his pew the other day. He looks a little grayer and a little less careful of his personal appearance than when he was secretary of the navy. He seems to take good deal of interest in church affairs attends with regularity and promptness listens care fully to the sermon joins in the responsive readings and alBO takes part in the congregational singing. At least he makes uis mouth go when the other other people sing, and it is to be supposed he sings too.

Some comment has been made with reference to the fact that Dr. Newman's prayers at the Logan mansion and in the senate were telegraphed to the country, and the fact also that other uotable prayers delivered in the house and senate, at various limes, have beeu preserved in the printers art. The stenographers of tho:e bodies, while they do not as a rule lake a report of the prayers in shorthand, always watch carefnlly for them, and if they are at all unusual ii their character or especially refer to legislation or to deoeased members, or those who are ill, they take them in shorthand, write them out and they are published in the Congressional Record, and they are also fifrnished to the preij if desired. In many cases these prayers are as car«fully prepared by those who deliver them as are their sermons. A former chaplain of the house, told me that he prepared ail of his prayers delivered in that body with great care, selecting them in part from the Episcopal eervice, writing them out fully and delivering them from manuscript.. I remember on6 day receiving a* note from a former chaplain of the senate, asking me to call at his study. When I did so, he took from his table the copy of a prayer which he had prepared for the opening session of the senate, and proceeded to read it to ine iu full, intonation and all, submitting fir criticism and suggestion. I may add that when I saw it in print I observed Ihat my ohe suggestion regarding it bad been adopted.

CLEVELAND'S OBSTINACY.

How It l« Shown III His Appointments— lliiBtilo to Admit Ho ffan Made Mislukp. Washington Special.

Stubbornness is one of the characteristics of the president. To recede from a position once taken, or acknowledge himself wrong, is next to impossible to him. He has shown this in a number of instances. The case of Attorney-general Garland is perhaps the one that has attracted more attention than any other. Garland is kept in place for no other reason, apparently, than that the president unable to summon moral courage enough to own that he was mistaken in his man. It is no Bccret and is known to every body except the AttQrney general that the president would bless the day upon whicn Mr. Garland should decide} to step down and out. Bat to ask him to resign would be tantamount to saying that he had erred in his judgment, and so the attorney-general is permitted to remain, the practical exponent of official propriety under a Democratic administration. The case of Eugene Higgins is another one illustrating the president's stubborn qualities, and which serves to inflame the imagination of some ot his followers to a point where they pretend to discover in Mr, Cleveland a second Andrew Jackson.

The preeiJent knows, of crime, thfft ITipgins is utterly unfit to hold any position under the governme&t, but to ecedfe and acknowledge bis errof— it not to be thought of fof ohe moment. The caee of Reoorder Matthews is one of too lecent a date to be recalled here at leugtb, though it is an almost unheard-of thing on the urt of a president that he should send ack a nomination rejecttd by such a decisive vote as was that by which Mitthewa was rejocted, and to cap the climax the prejident accompanies the renominntion with a messige, ihe purport of which is an announcement to the senate that it is all wrong, and that be, tlft president, is ircapablo of wrong. Yesterday, once more, the president displayed his stubbornness in sending to the senate the name of Judge Manning as minister to Mexico. It was the last day on which the president could hare s?nt in the name in accordance with the requirements of the constitution. This shows, at least, that he heeilated and struggled before he fo this step. The appointment had proved so disastrous a one, the scandal raised by Mr. Manning's conduct had been so ureat—his undignified denial adding to instead of mitigating the oflense that even the prosid^nt wavered before his BtubbornceBS asserted itself again, and he sent Mr. Manning's name to the senate, thereby proclaiming to the country that- in making this appointment ho committed no error of judgin nt. 1 have the best reasons for believing that the president is not only iu full possession of the facts concerning the conduct of Judge Manning in Mexico, but also that he believes what has been charged against the minis'er—and yet he sends the nomination to the senate.

CALIFORNIA SENATORSHIP.

Complications Hiat May ItfHuIt iti the Kent!UK of a 'publican. Washington Special.

Unexpected complications have arisen over the ofection of a I 'nited States sena tor from California to succeed Senator Williams. The legislature met on Tues day last, but failed to oiganize, thus postponing the election of a senator until the ISth insl. The legislature chosen on Novesalier 2, has ten democratic majori ty on joiut ballot, but lliere is a controversy as to the right of certain senators then elected to take their BnalM. Under the new constitution of California, adopted in 1879, provision was made for the ejection of two ssts of senators—or.cset from the even numbered districts to t.crtfo two yeiirs, and thoHe from the odd numbered districts to serve four years. In the last campaign both parties put complete legislative tickets in the field -and ignored the claims of members elected from the odd-unmhered districts in 1884 to hold over for four years. The election resulted in giving the Democrats ten majority ou joint bal lot in the legislature and consequently the election of a United States senator. Then it was that the Republican leaders began to investigate carefully the claims of the so-called hold-over senators. If 'they were seated in place of the senators jiiHl elected by the people, the legislature would be Republican by two majority on joint ballot, and the senatorial plum would fall into different hands. A lonjr constitutional argument was forwarded to Senator HLinfo:d, who referred it to Senator Edmunds, chairman of the judiciary committee. In reply ho sent on the 4th instant this letter to Mr. Stanford: "Referring to our conversation just before the holiday recess concerning the Constitution of California respecting the constitution of its legislature, I have to say that I have examined the question and am clear iu the opinion that the senators elected from the odd-numbered districts in 1884 are entitled to hold for lour years. The language of the constitution is so clear that it Hfe.rus to me there can hardly be two opinions upon the question. If there be any net of the legislature of California contravening the provisions of section 5 of article -1 of your constitution of 1879, it is, I think, absolutely veid, for certainty the constitution of your state must be tho supreme law."

The senat*, which is the judge of the. election and qualifications of its ow a members, may, if it chooses, investigate this question when a new Democratic senator from California presents his credentials, and if a single vote is required to enable the Republicans to retain control of that body, they may decline to seat the Democrat.

Iiifo in Wellslmrg:.

Chicago New*. The little town of Wellsburg, N. J., gave one of its citizens a pleasant sendoff last week. Some lime ago a man named Nichols horse-whipped a young lady for the reason, as he explained, that she was paying too much attention to him. Ever since that lime everybody in the town has done what he could to make life a burden to Nichols. Finally, last week Ni hols announced his intention of leaving, when tho village board assembled and gravely passed resolutions thanking him for his departure, and expressing sympathy for any community in which he mi?lit settle. Last Friday Nichols left the village, anil all the people turned ont and marched in procession and fired a caunou in honor of the event. Mr. Nichols' absence appears to be very popular in Wellsburg.

Benedict ba Rejected.

Washington, January 10.— It is regarded piobable that th^ senate will reject the nomination of Public Printer lienedict. In that case the president has given assurances that he will appoint Benedict's brother, who succeeded Cadet Taylor as chief clerk of the oftic?. This will meet the objection made to the elder Benedict, that he is not a practical printer. Young Benedict is a good printer, while his brother has fallen into all sorts of difficulties from his want of acquaintance with the simplest duties of a printing office. As a senator remarked this morning, "he don't know the difference between a shooting stick and a Krupp gun."

He began in 1885 he mugwumped in 1880. What does he mean to do in this present and mott interesting year?

The question is interesting to persons than himself. Will this year be a mugwump year or a Democratic year with him For the passing time he holds the Democratic party in his hands. Will he keep it Democratic, or will he choose to try and make it personal

other

For him the answer must be interesting. His personal political fortunes depend upon the answer. For the Democratic pa ty the answer will be interesting, too.

A Headless Man Walked in, St. John Telograph. The sale of the ship Squando, which was lately wrecked at Bathurst, N. B. has been postponed. Il is very difficult to get men to work on her, especially at ni^ht. Queer noises were heard in the cabin of the vessel lasl week, which no one could explain, and the men be lieve the vessel is haunted. There seems to be tome fatality about the vessel.

When the Squando was in San Francisco come years ago the captain and his wife killed the first mate, seveiiog bis held completely from his body with an axe. The captain was hanged, and his wife got a long sentence of imprison ment. The new captain wag subsequently killed during a mutiny, and the two following captains dieij on board the vessel. It was alleged by the master and sailors who arrived at Ltithurst on her that she was haunted, and they left in a body. The Norwegian consul then engaged two watchmen to.look after her, but one night on board was enough.

They alleged that lliey saw a headless man walking in Ihe cabin, and the bed clothes were pulled ofl' them, that handspikes wefe Hying around the deck, and that a cold, clammy hand was laid on their faces and a voice told them to depart, and subsequently the watchmen say that they saw a boat manned by four men hovering around the ship, which had the power of appearing and disappearing at will.

The vessel is now without a watchman no one can be found to stay on board during the night. The minister of customs has ordered an investigation into the cause of the wreck.
