Mob law is nft law.

The police board that has dared to winlc at the acts of the police conspirators does not dare to remain inactive from this timo on.

Mr. W. D. Kelloy, the "father of the house," puts the whole turiff-surplus matter in a nutshell when he says the Democracy through its majority in the house must meet the issue this winter.

If the police board months ago had voted for Mr. Clift's resolution to enforce the laws, the other members would not now bo in the position of being whipped into doing their duty by public sentiment.

Tho police board can do nothing else than institute a rigid investigation as to tho dereliction of duty by the mayor, the superintendent and the captain of police in the gambling matter. If need be there should be meetings from day to day until all witnesses are hoard.

Every man on tho police board except Mr. Clift knows that the public now knows that ho has not done his duty, and that he has been winking at the violations of the law committed simply because tho board was known to be an accomplice of tho violators of the law.

The Washington correspondents are making a new cabinot for the president. Tho fact that Secretary of the Interior Lamar is soon to retire gives them material for columns of speculation. Of course Indiana figures prominently in all these surmises labelled "authoritative information."

The caso of M. V. McCann versus J. B. Patten, warden, on an old account for coal furnished to the prison south, during tho Howard wardenship was decided for plaintiff, who got judgment in the puin of Owing to the fact that Howard owns the court officer# of Clark county no criminal verdict has bean returned against Howard as there should have boon.

It is idle to talk of policy with the present police board. With the exception of Mr. Clift no man has shown an active desire to enforce tho laws, and by this inaction tho board lujs given to the conspirators all tho loophole they could want. Tho board will meet on next Monday. It must either try to make reparation or step down and out. It is too late to beg for leniency of public sentiment. The Express intends that every member of that hoard shall be placed in his true ight before the public as it pilloried the police in the gambling disgrace. 1 it Is all nonser.se to talk about the disgrace of of the slate or of a county when murderers like Amor iircen are killed by an I mllgnant people. Tiie farmers of Carroll county arc not dangerous men. but i\hcn so great calamity as that which befell their neighbor is announced, with all Its harrowing and horrifying details, then what Is termed sometimes the "higher law" takes tho lead. Then It were as well to attempt to shackle the tides a* stay the march of revenge. On such occasions the great heart of humanity throVs for retribution, and then the guilty must not como within reach. It maybe all wrong, hut hitman nature is made that way. and rellecttng men know where to place the responsibility.- ItullHnanolls Sentinel.

Human nature is not so bad as that. Some human nature may be. but Indiana human nature as a general thing feels the disgrace of tho mob spirit keenly. The Indianapolis Sentinel's endorsement of the Delphi outbreak is the best proof thai Indiana's best sentiment does not give a quasi endorsement of lynch law.

A representative of this paper lately had a view of the gravel road built by ex-President Mudge from Merom to their station on the I. A 1. S. railroad. The citizens Interested subscribed about Ji.tKKl for the Improvement, the township doing the grading, and a good many of the subscribers working out their subscriptions. Our reporter represents Mr. Mudge as a most Indefatigable worker, and that frequently hts laborers would staiul Idly by and watch him do the work of two or more men In shoveling gravel

The road Is about completed from the station to the corporate limits of Merom. Ills the tnten tlon to go through the town and build north to where the road to Terre Haute strikes the sand, so that the people from the southwest part of the county will soon have a sand or gravel road to a

These matters are worthy the serious consideration of our business men. Nothing retards the growth of our county so much as the lack of good roads, and people emigrating from the east end where they have enjoyed good highways will not lont?

better service for the people of this county than by repeatedly calling their attention to this necessity of gravel roads. It is tho one great shortcoming of this county. The $150,000 spent on the dome of the court house would have been of incalculable value if it had been spent on gravel roads. We must have better roads in this county.

JIM MISUNDERSTOOD THE FIRING, The insurance comganies have been relieved of 815 cash by the adjustment of fire loss on the cottage of A. Gerald Hull, on the shore of Saratoga lake, which was in imminent danger of destruction and the cremation of Mr. Hull, its sole occupant, September 20th. Mr. Hull was awakened at an early morning hour by the presence of smoke in his room, and seized a pair of pistols from his well-equipped armory, he opened his window and tired a dozen shots into the morning fog to alarm his hired man. .No "Jim" appeared, however, and with a pail and dipper Mr. Hull crawied under the house and proceeded to fight the spreading flames, which were devouring the floor timbers directly under the fireplace. When the impromptu fire department had done its work the cautious "Jim" was seen approaching with great care to keep his person covered by the trees and other natural bullet-stoppers, but armed to the teeth and ready for any ambush of burglars or raiders that might appear.—[The Saratogian.

At! ODD EGG RACE.

Fifteen hundred workingmen, with their wives and sweethearts, attended the annual picnic of the tinited labor partv in Brounner's Union park yesterday.' The festivities were begun in the afternoon with games. There was an egg race, in which only ladies were permitted to enter. There were nine entries. Each lady was obliged to run a short distance with a spoon in front of her containing an egg. The lady reaching the goal first with the egg in its normal condition won tho prize. There was a great deal of excitement, especially among the mothers of the racers. One of them shouted out to her daughter: "Be keerful an' not break that egg over yer new dress."

Miss Katie Clark won the prize, which was a silver berry-bowl and stand,—[New York Sun.

THE GRANT MAUSOLEUM-

New York is disgraced by the Grant mausoleum. The first sight one gets of it is shocking —itis so small and plain and cheap. It is a fairly good copy of an old-time Dutch bake oven done in variegated bricks. The temporary resting place of Garfield's romains in Cleveland is far handsomer. Not an hour of daylight passes that from one to twenty visitors do not visit the Grant tomb, and on Sundays thousands go there. Tho improvement of the park around the tomb has made the latter look shabbier than it used to. A few trees, particularly if they were piaced so as to hide the sight of it from a distance, would save the city from its present humiliation in some degree. -[New York Sun.

The Irish Question.

DUBLIN, October 25.—The government has proclaimed the meeting convened by the mayor of Cork to protest against the recorder of that city being permitted to adjudicate on the appeal of Mr. O Brien, from the Mitchelatown rerdict. It is expected that a determined effort will be made to hold the meeting under the authority of the corporation, interference with which the government would involve violation of municipal rights.

CORK, October 25.—The police have occupied the court house to prevent the meeting of citizens, called by the mayor to protost against the recorder hearing the ease of Mr. O'Brien.

Autographs of generals in France average from 2 to 3 francs. General Boulanger'e have risen to 20 francs, the price paid the other day for a short-letter of his.

Gold Find In Minnesota.

DUIA'T II, Ootober 25.—Frank and George Spencer and JL/ouis Beaubien,the latter an old half-breed explorer, yesterdov brought to Duluth a large box of gold nuggets which indicate a find of unusual richness and value. The find is situated about forty miles north of Grand Marias, Cook county, Minnesota, and in the range of townships five or six miles south of the international boundary line. Only a few here know of the find. There was"shown a nugget nearly as large as a man's head, and from a quarter to three quarters of an inch thick. About thirty miles inland from Grand Marais are the so-called "ancient diggins" of rich silver mines, worked, as is supposed, by ancient Toltecs. These gold discoveries are about a dozen miles northeast of this location, where land is pretty generally taken up, though considerable supposed valuable mineral lands remain vacant.

The gold has a very dull yellow appearance. Two kinds of samples were shown —one from near the shore of a small lake and the other in quartz. The Spencer brothers also brought here a few specimens of rich native silver and a ouriously-fashioned vessel, made of what

seems to be very hard copper. The latter was found near the place where the richest gold nugget was discovered. They started to search for Bilver ore.

THE OVATION TO JEFF DAVIS.

'•Kx-

The Kebel Flag Hang On*. For the President." The following iB from a Macon special to the Commercial Gazette:

Just before reaching the hotel a big Confederate flag hung straight down overhead in the still, warm evening air, its stars and bars of red, white and red showing well in the light of the colored fire burning along the way. A design in gas jets sparkled and blazed before him —"Welcome to Our Honored Chief." At the next corner stands a beautiful statue representing a Confederate soldier upon a tall pedestal leaning upon his musket. A large Confedera' nag floated over the statue, which the inscription tells us was erected by the ladies to the memory of those who died in defense of their country. Upon thi3 6treet those two flags only were flung out to the memory of the Lost Cause all The rest were red, white and blue, in the national colors, and the stars and stripes in the miles of bunting and hundreds of starry banners, emphasising the melancholy suggestiveness of those lone representatives of a cause lost, a state of society and style of life gone forever, and in all that greafc cheering throng there were probably few to wish it otRerwise, outside of Mr. Davis' carriage.

To-morrow is set apart as ladies' day, and Mrs. and Miss Davis will receive all the ladies of this section of the south at the park. Mrs. and Miss Davis will be assisted in the public reception by Mrs. Hayes and Mrs. Howell Cobb. The great day, however, will be Wednesday, when the Confederate veterans cxpect to meet Mr. Davis for the last time to see their colors for the last time, and as they say, finally seal the book which has already been closed. Says the Telegraph of that day:

Wednesday will be Confederate Veterans' Day. On that day will occur the last review of the Confederate army by Its Immortal chief, ex-President Jefferson Davis. Communications from all over Georgia and the south assure an Immense attendance of veterans on that day. A number of generals from ail over the south atll be present Their letters of acceptance have "een published from time to time In these columns.

Governor John B. Gordon ami staff. In full regimentals. will be an attractive feature of the parade of the veterans. Weunesday night there will be a magnificent torchlight procession In honor of Mr. Davis,

From here General Gordon will go to Ohio to tell the people there of the final disappearance of the confederacy. If that gallant soldier and gentleman, General Gordon, is not thoroughly reconstructed, then he is mistaken, and, being an emotional man, he will doubtless get quite pathetic when he dwells upon the extremity of his reconstructedness to the people of Ohio.

The many fine buildings for the exhibits are embowered in big oaks and pines, making a beautiful park with broad spaces of turf, graveled walks, fountains, flower-beds and drives. The exhibition will differ from the Piedmont .display in being mainly agricultural, and the racing is expected to be a great feature—next, indeed, to Jefferson Davis. Mr. Davis and family are to occupy a cottage at the grounds during the entire week. The citizens of Mat on havo purchased a heavy silver vase, which it is proposed to present to Mrs. Davis. I heard to-day that Postmaster Hardeman was to do the presenting. Some of the people, however, think that it will hardly be the proper caper for a federal officer to do the act, and the programme in that respect may be changed.

Mr. Hardeman is an ex-member of congress, and during the war took out one of the most famous companies in the confederate army. One of the days is set apart for Drummers' Day, and the performance will be under the direction of the Merchant Travelers' Protective association. The Women's Christian Temperance Union have a booth at the grounds for the sale of food, coffee and milk, and they sent an invitation to the T. P. A.'s to accept their hospitality. The secretary, who is a traveler for a liquor firm, answered with a polite acceptance written on a sheet with the firm advertisement at the head, and seven barrelo of whisky represented standing in a row.

Mr. Davis has declined to go to Athens, which makes it all the more probable that this will be liiu last appearance outside of his home at Beauvoir.

It was told to-night by a gentleman prominently connected with the confederate government that the managers of the affair deprecated the display of confederate flags, and that the reception had been much toned down from what was at first contemplated. This feeling, he told me, was brought out by the fact of large Northern houses and manufactories applying for space at the exposition. After a Columbus, (O.) firm applied for space to be filled by a couple of car loads of their product there was a unanimous determination expressed among the management considerably to reduce the Southern and political aspect of the occasion. I give the following extract from the Macon news of to-day:

The grand reunion of ex-con federate veterans will occur on Wednesday. What a glorious occasion It will be: Thousands of noble veterans and war scarred heroes will assemble from all over the South to greet the warrior chieftain, it will be tho greatest demonstration ever accorded to moral man In the annai'i of the South's history. There will be none of the pomp of war and the pagentry of battle, but It will be a Joyful gathering of southerner* tn roral oration to the knightly champion of state rights and southern honor. His grand triumphal march will pass under gaily decorated arches and magnificent structures erected to adorn the event. He comes not as a conquering hero or war. with victorious eagles and emblazoned ensigns, but. as the living embodiment of a people's patriotism and a people's sacrifice—the Ideal representative of the South's manhood and nobility. In homiige, love, adoration and confidence they will welcome him.'lull of honors and lull of Tears. A grand and famous chief! The sundown ol thy hrels near at hand thou standest on the border line of time and eternity the glory of an lllustiloue-past shines refulgent on thy Imperial brow, but ere thou crossest 'over the river and restest under the shades of the trees, the vetearns of the Lost Cause would iln gaze once again upon thy loved form and noble face, grasp the by the hand in affectionate regard, to hear the mellow tones of that magical voice that once thrilled listening senates and won the words of applause—that clarion voice that rang over the fields of battle, nerving men to desperate encounter. Thy coming will be joy to thy soldiers, an Inspiration and a blessing to their children.

Three Xrg-roes Killed.

APAI-ACHICOLA, Fla., (via Marianna, Fla.,) October 25.—News has been received here that a white man named Parrish shot and killed three negro men in Calhoun countv a few days ago. Four negroes were using Parrish boat to gather up logs broken loose from a raft, when Parrish came along. It is said that the negroes told Parrish they had no intention of stealing the boat, but Parrish would not receive explanations. He raised his inche-ster and shot one down in the boat, killed another on the raft, and another who was attempting to run away. The fourth dived overboard and escaped.

The State Officer* Making an Effort to to Break np the CompanlM. The audit6r of state is in daily receipt of letters from the northern part of the state, says the Indianapolis News, asking about the responsibility of the various mutual insurance companies in that part of the state, and making complaints that they have been defrauded by them. Nearly all of these complaints have charters under the old law, and this fact is used by them as an advertisement of the alleged responsibility. The fact is that they are nearly all "death-bed" companies—that is, the issue policies off very old people, and pay what they please, or nothing at all, in the event of the death of the insured. Mr. Carr and Mr. Micliener have decided to drive these companies out of the state, as they have been driven out of other states, if possible. The attorney general has made a test case against the "Elhhart Mutual Aid and Insurance company," and yesterday he entered suit against it in the Elkhart circuit court, in the name of the state, demanding a forfeiture of its charter and franchises and a removal of its officers, on the grounds that it is doing business contrary to law. Mr. Michner 6ays that other suits will be instituted against similar companies. This one, he adds has been recently consolidated with the "Mutual benefit Association, of Bellevue, Mich.," a concern that was driven out of that state, and they are doing an extensive business. Auditor Carr will probably appoint a special examiner to examine into the workings of all such companies, and if they are not in accordance with the law all their charters will be revoked.
