The precedents are all sgainst the manner of leavetaking by the Oleve lands. When Mr. Cleveland returned from the inauguration exercises to the White house he found President Arthur and his sister, Mrs. McElroy, there to make it pleasant for him.
Freedom of the ballot and an honest count secured inside of four years would be glory enough for one ad administration. In the next four years other great things could be accom plished by the same administration whose return to power would be secured by the service of the first four years.
Some years ago a Democratic congress tried to starve to death the government could not kill with lead by refusing pass appropriation bills unless, as Joe Blackburn, the bushwhacker, said, "the last vestige of war legislation was wiped

Quickly following the disappointment oT our Democratic contemporaries caused by the absence of "Blaine pyrotechnics" in the inaugural address, comes a story that Elkins left Washington in a rage because the president had not granted a request. The Democratic press forgets itself. It should stick to its lie, that Blaine and Elkins would "run" this administration.
The Indiana Tariff Reform Loague, for such is the

Tin-: EM'KKSS recognizes a few familiar phrases in the denunciation of the present system of raising money to pay the expense of government, such as "demands of avarice," "exactions of organized greed," "undermines the foundations of our liberties," "in the hands of monopoly" and our old familiar campaign acquaintance, "lap of luxury."
The manner of departure of the Clevelandsand their retainers from the White house was indecent to say the least. It was wholly lacking in dignity or courtesy, the big fellow slipping out aback way and the employes and servants summarily removed in a high state of intoxication. No thought was given to the fact that the incoming family would need food and attention from employes and servants, who, by the way were not all Mr. Cleveland's employes and servants, but were paid by the government. (Jit. (iood riddance.
The "tariff reformers" at Indianariolifl concluded their meeting without a dispute as to whether they are also free traders. At the Chicago meeting much confusion was caused when this question was raised. As with the socialists and anarchists of that city, when an attempt is made to locate the dividing line, there is great excitement owing to the utter inability of either side to determine where one belief ends and the other begins. At Indianapolis the question did not come up, and the coterie continued the little love feast undisturbed.
The Gazette makes merry over the drunkenness of the Pennsylvania militia at the inauguration, and would have its readers understand that the Pennsylvaniaus were Republicans. Of course, the Gazette knows better. It should nlso know that these same militiamen on the occasion of Cleveland's inauguration cut just such a caper. If anything it was a more disgraceful [one. Certainly it was more costly because the state of Pennsylvania had to foot a bill for damage to property caused by them in Washington at that time.
From all accounts there never was seen In anv civilized country such a wholesale debauch ns Washington passed through during inauguration week. Evansvlll Courier.

suggests that perhaps there was some truth in the frequent reports of drunkenness in the executive mansion during the past four years and the wise thing for the Courier and other Democratic papers to do is to make scapegoats for all the shortcomings of the four years
the employee who were caught in the act on Monday.
Must there be a murder in a gambling house to make the people of Terre Haute realize the full extent of the evil arising from this wide open policy? Several young men have left the city under a cloud because of losses at these faro bank rooms and a vast amount of misery has been entailed of which no public notice has been made. Now the son of proprietor of a gambling house tries to shoot his brother-in-law because the latter had been providing for the wife, who „„ls THE EXPRESS that her husband made no provision for her, as he lost his money gambling. The father of the husband, himself the owner of the lead ing gambling house, says his son is insane, and that he will have him sent to the insane asylum. Where is^the father to be sent?
The Democrats in the house have voted down temperance measures of every kind. They have objected to local opposition, pretending that they believed in high license, and to make a showing of sincerity in this belief they voted for the engrossment of the bill raising the license to $250, thinking they would not be called on to vote for its final passage, but when that question was put on Tuesday they defeated the bill. Two years ago when the Republican house passed a *500 bill the Democratic senate committee amended it to $300, but the deadlock prevented a test of their sincerity in a linal vote on that proposition. Their platform declared for high license, but it was only pretense. The party makes many tern perance declarations, but when it comes to the practical effects it is the friend of even the grog shops that would closed by high license. In the senate on
Tuesday the Democrats dodged the bill to prevent treating in saloons or drug stores by postponing consideration.
THE GRIMES INFAMY.
THK EXPRESS believes that nine men out of ten in Vigo county will believe the act of the state senate yesterday was an outrage. That is to say, but one tenth will give expression to an honest expression of their opinion to the con trary.
When this contest was originated as means of support for Mr. Voorhees re election two years hence the chatter of the strikers and the Democratic organ klWIIUL. uuiliiu voters. That was the main reliance of the contestors then but as the testimony in the case developed the fact that no instance of bribery could be proven in behalf of Mr. Bichowsky, and plain proof was produced as against Mr. Grimes, there was a change in the programme and the talk about distinguishing marks on the tickets was made the chief reliance of the Voorhees conspirators.
Now, without proper hearing or consideration, the Democratic senate gives to Mr. Grimes, the Jekyll Hyde of Vigo politics, the office which even bribe money did not secure for him. As one senator said in the debate yesterday, it is "the climax of political scoundrelism."
While it is true that there is no appeal from this decision it is likewise true that there will soon be opportunity to secure punishment for the crime of bribery. Yesterday a number of charges for violation of election laws were dismissed in the United States court at Indianapolis because there was no basis for prosecution. They were part of the drag net political work of Leon Baily, the assistant district attorney, whose failure to substantiate the general charge of corruption on the part of the Republicans in this state is being exposed in this manner. THE EXPRESS hopes for better and more effective prosecution and before the end is reached no doubt the act of the state senate yesterday will be made doubly infamous by the reversal of that decision by a verdict of guilty in a criminal prosecution.

The colonel thanked him, laid his hat and stick on the table and walked to the chair.
No sooner had he sat himself down when the chair yielded and down the colonel went, his legs and arms struggling ludicrously to regain a more dignified position. Quick as thought the man rushed on him and held him down, while his confederate, who had been hidden behind the back of his chair, puts his arms around the colonel's waist and attempted, as it were, to drag him through the chair.
A desperate fight ensued, during which the colonel, though completely taken by surprise, caught his first foe a well directed kick, which sent him reeling to the further end of the room against the wall. He then tore himself from the chair, seized his stick and turned on the second man.
Up went the Malacca cane, its ivory handle shining high next to the low ceiling a moment more and the man's ekull would not have been worth a second's purchase. But the first man, recovering himself, dashed at the colonel's legs and sent him sprawling on the ground, his head just saving itself against the soft cushion of the chair.
To gag the colonel, bind his arms behind him and rifle his watch and chain, rings, purse and every article of value about his person was but the work of an instant.
In the night he was bundled into a carriage and driven away a couple of miles or so. When they reached a lonely spot he was set down, the gag was removed, and before he knew where he was the men had already driven away. Suffice to say, the colonel made the best of his way to his hotel with feelings of ill disguised vexation and chagrin. All subsequent efforts at tracing his daring assailants were made in vain.
The incident he soon forgot, but the face of the man was indelibly impressed on his memory.
Six years the colonel spent in India he then returned to London. The memorable day on which bangs the center point of this faithful narrative found him, with guide book in hand, explaining to his daughter, in true John Bull style, the history of the figures in that well known collection, Mme. Tussaud's wax-work exhibition.
Entering a second chamber and turning round, the Colonel came suddenly face to face with his assailant of years ago. A second and a blow from the colonel's heavy hand had shattered, to his horror, an unfortunate waxwork into a thousand pieces.
The figure demolished by the colonel was a waxen effigy of the notorious Burke, who, assisted by another ruffin named Hare, carried on a peculiar system of violence and robbery, which frequently ended in murder. These miscreants were eventually captured, convicted and executed. They are enshrined in the chamber of horrors.
The likeness in wax was so good as to lead the colonel to mistake the effigy for the living man, with the result above described. The mistake was made clear after the explanation. The colonel was profuse in hie apologies and offered to pay, but the prophetess protested that she was amply repaid by so good an advertisement.

BASE BALL NOTES.
There are now seven associations working under the national agreement— the National league, American association, International Western, Atlantic, Southern and Central Inter-state. It is thought the California league will ask for protection also.
The|Arr.erican base ball association, at Columbus, completed and adopted its schedule Tuesday. The games open as follows: In Brooklyn, with Athletic, May 2, 3, 4, 5 in Philadelphia, with Brooklyn, April 17,18, 20, 21 in Baltimore, with Brooklyn, April 22, 23, 24 in Columbus, with Brooklyn, May 25, 26, 27, 28 in Cincinnati, with Brooklyn, May 11,12, 13, 14 in Louisville, with Brooklyn, May 7, 8, 0,10 in St. Louis, with Brooklyn, May 16, 17, 18, 19 in Kansas City, with Brooklyn, May 20, 21, 22, 23.
At a special meeting of the National base ball league, held at Washington to arrange the summer schedule, all the clubs were represented. The report of the board of arbitration was read and adopted and the president authorized to sign the agreement on behalf of the league. The report of the committee appointed to change the form of the league contract was submitted and their recommendations as to amendments were unanimously adopted. The president was authorized to appoint another umpire at a salary of §200 per month and expenses.
President Hewitt, of the Washington club, when asked at Washington, if there had been any agreement made during the day between himself and the Boston delegates, in regard to Ward, replied that the matter had not been broached. "Why should it?" he continued, "I am perfectly satisfied that Ward will captain and manage my club next season, and we are willing to and have bid as high as Boston for Ward's release from New York. The question now is between Ward and myself, and I intend to sail shortly for England, where I shall get the great short stop and make satisfactory terms with him."
Spasmodic Advertising.
Speaking of the ueelessness of spasmodic and irregular advertising, the Clothier and Furnisher, of this city, 6ays: "If you want to be healthy, you must eat regularly, as meat to-day will not serve you for to-morrow. To be well and hearty, eat at every meal time to be prosperous in business, advertise regularly. Stop the one and you starve and die. Stop the other and your business takes consumption and dies also. Spasmonic advertising is like having 'a feast and a famine'—more famine than feast, as a rule—and is never satisfactory. To
iS&i
take out your card in dull timee is like killing your horse because he is a little lame. It is in dull timee the most advertising should be done, and it is in dull times tnat advertising is the moet effective, as more notice is taken of printer's ink then than at any other time."
SWEARS TO A STRANGE DREAM.
A Maryland Han Hakes an Affidavit That Results in Getting Him a Prise. J. E. J. Buckley, of Cumberland, Md., has made sworn affidavit to the truthfulness of a remarkable dream he dreamed some time ago. A local paper offered a prize for the beet dream story, and out of a large number jMr. Buckley's was selected as the winner. But before getting his prize he had to swear that his story was true, and this he has done. The story is as follows: "I dreamed one night last summer that I met a man of small stature, dark complexion, black hair and heavy black mustache, fashionably dressed, on the corner of Center and Baltimore streets, in this city. Some quarrel arose and I" shot him in the neck. Some of his blood spurted on my white vest. The next morning, about ten o'clock, as I WSB turning the corner above mentioned, met the dream man. He sprang back with a cry, covered his neck with his hand, and said: 'For God's, sake, don't shoot.' We were both too much shocked to speak for some moments. Ex planations followed. We had both dreamed the same thing. Oddly enough in looking at my vest afterward I found a smear of something* red on it about the size of a quarter. This had been concealed by my coat and had not been noticed in the hurry of dressing. A chemist afterward removed the stain and said it was human blood.
J. E. J. BUCKLEY."
Receiver for an Electric Light Couipany Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, March 5.—Considerable surprise was caused here, this morning upon the announcement that a receiver had been appointed for the Lafayette Brush electric light company. The Brush company, of Cleveland, held $26,000 in bonds of the Lafayette company, upon which the interest defaulted January 1, 1889. These bonds are secured by a mortgage upon the property of the local company. The complaint of the Brush company, of Cleveland, also alleges that the Lafayette company is indebted in the sum of $25,000 to divers persons. The local company now has the contract for street-lighting in this city, and it is to protect this contract, which has a year yet to run, that John W. Heath, of this city, was appointed receiver.

DENVER, Col., MarchG.—News reachedi here this evening from Springfield, a small town in the neutral strip, isolated from any telegraph line, that the settlers who for a year had been suffering greatly at the hands of a band of eighteen "Rustlers," had a week ago warned the gang that unless they im mediatly left the section they would be hanged.

Eg^s and cheese are their food on two days, pulse and boiled herbs on three others, and bread and water on Wednesday and Friday. One meal a day is the only allowance, except on feasts of the double class, and this they eat in their lonely cells. They sleep on sheetless beds, and are awakened twice during the night to recite their office. Rough hair shirts are worn next their skins, and when they die they are laid in the grave without anything between them and the clay but the robes they wore in life.

Bangor (Me.) Commercial: A Bangor lady was very ill a few days ago, and a physician was called who prescribed for her. The prescription was given to a servant girl, who was directed to take it to a drug store and have it filled. She went to the drug store, but. instead of carrying out her instructions, bought a postage stamp, placed it upon the prescription, and dropped it into the postoffice. In a short time it returned to the physician who gave it. It may be well to add that the lady did not die from the delay in receiving the medicine.
