Jim Willard's legislature is, if possible, more odorous than "Green Smith's senate two years ago, and Green Smith had Coy to help him make a mess of it, too.

The legislature will adjourn to-day at noon, the sixty days allowed by the conSuggestsT~Eat perhaps the framers of that inetruement had a suspicion that, by means of an infamous jerrymander, such a body as the one now in session might be gathered at In dianapolis and be loth to leave there.

The Democratic newspapers are circulating the report that in the examination at Washington in the Dudley libel suits against the New York newspapers Colonel Dudley declined to answer the question if he wrote the letter "on the ground that he would criminate himself." This is not true. It is put forth ns an imputation of guilt on the part of Dudley. He declined to answer because of his rights in the legal phase of the suit. The burden of proof of the genuineness of the letter is with the defendents who are sued for libel for asserting that he did write it. The twist given to the report of the examination to bring in the "criminality" is peculiarly a Democratic de vice.

General Harrison is reported to have said to a Michigan delegation that called on him to urge the appointment of a Michigan man for a federal oflice in one of the territories that it was his purpose to stand squarely on the plank in the national platform regarding homerule for the territories. No plank in the platform is made of better material than that particular one. It is also reported that when a close personal friend asked the president to appoint a relative to a Federal office in another state that the president expressed astonishment [and emphatically made it known that the political or personal influence of one state should mil interfere with the appointments charged to another state. This is the kind of liouiA rule the people like.

There is no question that the president would be justified in extending the time when the civil service laws shall begin to operate in the railway mail service. The date fixed by President Cleveland is the lath inst., but June 150th, the .end of the fiscal year, is not too late. The purpose of the outgoing administration was plainly recognized by every one. It was to keep in the service a lot of incompetents placed there by the Vilas-Dickinson regime. The order was not made until after the election, and never would have been made if Mr. Cleveland had been re-elect-ed. Public opinion will be with the president in any heroic treatment of the mail service, which has became so demoralized that the most partisan of Democrats ami I'euiocratic newspapers no longer withhold criticism.

In one of the Soldiers' Orphans' Home schools in Pennsylvania there recently appeared symptoms of insanity among the pupils. Thirty or forty boys suddenly attracted the attention of teachers and physicians. The latter said it was an unaccountable and unprecedented species of insanity. After the physicians hail investigated the cases a layman, an inspector of the state schools, took tip the investigation, with the result of 8 confession from the boys that they were playing a trick, the outcome of a mischievous caper by one of their number. The learned men have not been heard from since the "exposure, but no doubt they can furnish conclusive evidence according to rules laid down that the boys were stark, 6taring mad. Such exposures and those of the insane hospitals into which are thrust persons whose riddance may be desired by some one, are calculated to cause the impression that all'is not science that is so labeled.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The legislature, which will adjourn today, has had no equal. It merits that distinction, at least. The majority went to Indianapolis with the primary and ultimate purpose of grabbing all the patronage the party lost by the result of the election last November. In pursuance of that purpose the majority subordinated all other considerations 60 that on the last day it was compelled to rush through general measures which, in wise legislation, require many days of deliberation.

As it is the legislature goes away from the capital leaving state oftices in confusion, the supreme court more embarrassed than ever, two cities in the state involved in a demoralizing dispute as to which set of officials are in charge of the police, fire and other municipal departments and the state officers in charge of the finances without authority to borrow enough money to tide over until the next sessian.

We think we are warranted in saying

that Jim Willard and his legislature, including the third house, have managed to cause more complication and raise more hades generally, than was ever known in any Btate in the union, and our only regret is that the people will have no opportunity this year to administer such a rebuke as the occasion re­

quires.

THE SAM0AN EXCITEMENT.

As yet nothing has been produced tendisg to verify the sensational report from Breelau sent out a few days ago to the effect that an American and a German man-of-war had been in conflict. No authority was named in the first report, and it is plain now that all subsequent rumors originated in the excitement caused by the Bresl&u rumor.

The improbability of the report is apparent on second thought. Even if Germany has means of quicker communication with Samoa official information at Berlin of such a conflict would not be withheld. The German government notified this government that nothing further would be done at Samoa until after the Berlin conference. That the com inander of the Olga has proceeded in way not in accord with the wishes

of

credence. The report is that the commander the Nipsic objected to

of

Bome

action on

the part of the commander of the Olga that was clearly in» violation of the agreement and that when enforcing his objection the Olga sent the Nipsic to the bottom of the ocean. It is well enough in considering the Samoan situation to see what this would mean to us were it true. To be sure it would, in the first place, mean that we had been sorely affronted and that Germany had acted in violation of an honorable agree ment. Where the issue is so plain noth ing less than ample reparation and apology is to be thought of without ina puting to Germany a degree of perfidy and stupidity out of all question.

GENERAL HARRISON'S LONG HEAD. Above all the excitement, confusion, disappointment and noise around and about the inauguration of the new president and the announcement of the cabinet, there is seen the strong lineaments of the face of Ben Harrison, of Indiana. We begin to see dispatches from Washington headed: "A Man of Strong Will" and which are to this effect as put by one correspondent:

In this Indiana matter, as In the New York difllculty, the president has shown a determination to do Justice between all contending persons and factions. Already the relations between the executive and the Republican senate, a wesk iiso so lacking in sympathy, are assuming a more cordial tone. All the senators have met the president, and all have joined more or less enthusiastically in combinations to Influence patronage In behalf of ambitious men from their states. The new administration Is young, but Its prospects are unclouaed. While the ministers are yet feel-

Ids their way thp clanfti/wnt. fwaturp Hon rip Wnm. Ing clearer and better delink! Is the strong personality of the president himself.

Since the.above was printed, three or four days ago, THE EXPRESS has observed by the reports that the number of leading men among the callers at the White house has increased daily. When General Harrison was cutting his way through from Indianapolis to the White house, he knew what he would be able to do and how he would be supported when he had reached that great strategical point. That he will not neglect the opportunity goes without saying with those who know him.

A Western Knocli Ariien.

Plilletus Osborn, of Clay's Prairie, Illinois, was poor, but proud. Not particularly proud of his poverty, but proud In the possession of a loving little wll'e. two sweet babes and an honest heart. It Is a good thing, by the way, to have a heart not disposed to treachery, nor liable to stop work with the shock of making a royal Hush In the seven dollar Jackpot. But this Is a digression. The sun was setting in the Western sky and making of the embanked and embattled clouds an incarnadined embodiment of roseate magnificence.

At the front gate of his humble home stood Plilletus Osborn, leaving for the first time his happy home. "Bessie," said lie, his voice ful of emotion, "As you well know my story has been accepted by Sijulbler's Magazine. I think It best, my love, that 1 go to the oflice In New York and collect the money personally, (iood bye!" "(iood bye!" she answered, and he was gone.

Twenty years had elapsed. Twenty eventful years, with their changing seasons, their record of new lives sprung into existence, and others passing away, tlieir history of unfulfilled hopes, unsatisfied mortgages, Fourths of July, meas'.es epidemics, elections and various other things which go to make the story of the a'ons a complete and harmonious whole. .lust as the glorious god of day was repeating with some new additional fbatures the s-me performance he had given on the eventful evening which closes our tirst chapter, a weary and wayworn man strode sadly into the village of Clay's Prairie.

We will make no attempt at concealing what the acute reader has probably already surmised. The wanderer was Philetus Osborn. who three days before had received the cheque tor his story from Siiulbler's Magazine.

Striding moodily through the fast falling shades of evening, he at length arrived at the home he had left with such high hope and ambition two decades ago.

Stealing silently to the window, he stealthily looked in. and his worst fears were realized. She whom he had left In those happy days was seated

He turned on tils heel, passed out into the darkness, and the home of his boyhood ne'er saw ills face again.

FARMER BROWN'S BILL.

Written for the Chicago Journal.]

For the first time in several years Farmer Brown did not have the children of St. Michael's orphan asylum to dinner on Thanksgiving day. Instead of the usual invitation, had come, a few days before, a note written in the old farmer's stiff, old-fashioned hand, saying that owing to circumstances they would be obliged to forego their usual custom. It was a great disappointment the little folks, who bad looked forward to it for months. Every year the old farmer and his wife, who never had any children of their own, had been wont to pay the rail road fare of the thirty odd boys and girls of this institution for a day's out ing and a good dinner at the farm, which was some miles from the city. They were an industrious, thrifty and prosperous old couple, as their well-kept and well-stocked farm testified, and this was one of their yearly contributions to sweet charity. tu~

The circumstances that led to their, as well as the children's disappointment, were these. One evening, about two weeks before the holiday, Mr. Brown, or "Grandpa," as he WBS familiarly known throughout^ t^^ neighborhood,^ j.a«l^a ily Bible before going out for the morning choreB, saying: "There, grandma, is the money for our children's railroad fare. Be sure and send it in time." "Yes," answered grandma, going on with her dusting, for despite her years she was still active in household duties. She went out to the kitchen a few minutes later to talk over the bill of fare for the children's dinner with her niece Annie. The girl had lost sleep from toothache the night before and motherly Mrs. Brown bade her go and lie on the parlor sofa for an hour or two and herself took her place in the kitchen.

Annie was the only child of grandpa's sister, who had died a year before. Her death, if not caused, was at least hastened, by the disgrace of the husband and father, who had been dishonest in hie dealings with public affairs in which he had held a place of financial trust, and had been tried and sentenced to a long term of years in the states prison, The surprise and indignation of the Browns knew no bounds. It was duty simply that led them to offer the orphan girl a home with them. She was left destitute. Everything that could lawfully be taken had gonft to satisfy the demands of justice.

It was thus that at 18 years of age Annie Reynolds found herself an inmate of her uncle's home on a pleasant farm far from the city of her childhood. The old people were kind to her in the main and were pleased to have a companion in their old age, but they could not forget nor forgive the dreadful disgrace it was to have a "prison bird" one's family connections. Annie herself felt the disgrace very keenly and grew timid and shrinking, rarely associating herself with the young people of the neighborhood, though most of them, with the honest independence of rural society, would have welcomed her none the less warmly for her father's crime. The Browns did not understand the young girl very well, having so far outgrown their own youthful thoughts and fancies. They did not realize that a little tender sympathy MUUlU lor burden of grief and shame.

Just as they were about sitting down to dinner that day grandma remembered that she had left the money lying just where grandpa had laid it in the morning. She went in to put it away and returned in a few minutes looking very serious when the meal waB finished and grandpa repaired to his easy chair by the fire she followed him, and as she opened the blind for him to read his newspaper she told him that the *550 bill had mysteriously disappeared. Together they searched the room in every nook and corner without success. "Ah, blood'll tell," remarked the farmer as he pushed the sofa back into its accustomed corner. "We might 'a known better than to trust a child of a thief. What's born and bred in folks generally sticks to 'em to the end of the chapter."

After talking the matter over, they decided to say nothing to Annie for the present, though they were thoroughly convinced that she was "a sly one like her father." No one had been in the room but her, nnd appearances were certainly against her. They concluded to wait a few days and give her a chance to repent, confess, and restore the money.

A week passed by, with no developments, and the indignation of the old couple grew stronger. They had no patience with a thief, as they honestly thought her to be, and grandpa vowed he would no longer have her under his roof. Grandma still had some motherly feeling for the fjirl, and begged him to remember her youth, and try her once more, but he was inexorable, and grandma had always been brought around to his way of thinking sooner or later. So it was that Annie found her services and her presence no longer desired in her uncle's family. ii.

Five years passed away and there was a funeral at the farm-house. The neighbors were arriving from all directions in farm wagons, in carriages and on foot, and talking in little groups of three or four in the yard and in the orchard. In the parlor lay Grandma Brown, robed for her last long sleep, her old face a beautiful picture in its frame of silver hair. Grandpa had ag6d much in the past few days, it seemed to those who were in attendance during the watching and waiting for the end. It was time for the service, and the minister was speaking to grandpa in a low tone and taking his customary notes. He asked for the date of grandma's birth, and grandpa, taking up the old family Bible, which had been placed for the minister's

on the stand beside

them, turned to the family record. Not many times there—only two, his and here, on a page yellow with age. It was years since he had seen the record, for there had been no births or deaths to record. As he turned the yellow leaves he saw something that sent a chill to his heart. Right down over their names lay a S50 bill, clean and smooth with having lain so long beneath the weight of leaves. Annie had not stolen the money, after all?

The services proceeded, but the old man had another grief to bear along with his bereavement. His thoughts wandered back to the orphan girl who had been so cruelly misjudged. Oh, if they—or he, rather—had only aaked her for an explanation! He remembered now that Grandma had suggested it, and how, in his sternness and confidence in her guilt, be had refused. He, who bad all his life long prided himself on his honor and justice, found now, when he was nearing the last mile-post, that be had been most

cruelly unjust to a poor, defenseless orphan girl. They had fed hundreds of orphans at their Thanksgiving table and sent them back to the city, full of sunshine and happiness, to forever remember and blese the kind old people who gave them such a generouB holiday but what had they done with the one orphan that had been intrusted to their care?

The funeral was over and the old man was alone in his lonely home. Very lonely it seemed to him with the wife of forty years gone from him forever. His own life was nearly done, but he had a wrong to undo and restitution to make before he could lie in peace beside her who had that day taken up her abode in the city of the dead. Grief and remorse held sway in the old man's breast and he refused to be comforted. He wondered if he could find Amie. The story had never been told, but it must be told now, for he must have assistance in his quest for her. For the l»t three years a young man, John Deal, the son of a distant relative who had lost his life in his country's service somejyears before, had been living with then and the old people had come to love him as their own son. A certain dociment among their private papers mad» him the future owner of nil their property. To him, now, the heartbrokedold man confided the story of the orphin girl. "You must help me to find her, John. I must find her. I must have hi forgiveness.

I must give her back tie home that should have been hers ali these years." The winter passed awv and brought no results of their search. Erery means was taken that could bethought of, but to no avail. The old man wandered about, always looking f»r something he never could find. Hiswrinkltd old face grew into a wistful expression. Many supposed that with a half-wandering mind of second childhood he was always expecting his dead toreturn to him.

At last one day a litter cane for him from one of the hospitals in a distant city, 6aying that thf youDg lady advertised for was a convalescent in that institution. Grandma was too feeble now to go to her, but ,'ohn, his guardian and protector, could ke trusted with the mission. Three days later he brought her home, a tall, slender, sad-looking girl, pale and thin from her long illness, but with a face made beautiful by patience in Buffering and toil. She had borne the burden of hard work and poor pay in a large city until she had fainted beneath it and had been found insensible in the street. She had lain for weeks in the hospital, and by the merest chance, when she was recovering, had found her name in a morning paper which the nurse left in her room.

The childish old man lost no time in telling his story, deploring his injustice to her and begging her to forget the past and never leave him again, and as she looked at the feeble old man and thought of Grandma lying in the churchyard, she put her arms about his neck, kissed his withered old cheek, and mingling her tears with his, promised to forget everything but his past kindness. "I remember the $50 bill, though," said she. "I remember it lying on the stand and that I picked it up and put it in the Bible and never thought of it again."

BASE BALL NOTES.

Michigan will have a state league. Veach is running a railroad engine in California.

Indianapolis begins playing at Louisville. April 1. The ball playtjij urw at Delmonico's on their arrival, April 5.

It has been definitely decided that Jack Glasscock will captain the Indianapolis team next season.

Wednesday evening, at Brooklyn, Miss Emilv O. Johnson was married to Thos. J. Esterbrook, the base-ball player

Manager Goldsby, of Evausville, has engaged his eleven players. The Milwaukees will open the season at Evaosville.

The restrictions heretofore held on Glasscock, Denny, Boyle and Myers have been removed, and they now belong to the Indianapolis club entirely.

New York World: King Humbert, of Italy, has come down a peg in his own estimation since he watched the umpire at the recent base ball game in Rome.

The tirst match in England of the American base ball teams will take place at Kensington on Tuesday, owing to the unfitness of the Bristol and Oxford grounds.

President McCormick has postponed the meeting of the schedule committee of the Western base ball association at Sioux City until March Id. It was first called for March 7.

Toledo is booked to play at Indianap olis on the 18th and 19uh, but it is probable that the first named will be given up to the Chicago and All-American teams, in which case the Ohio club will till in the 17th.

The surrender of Glasscock and Danny and their signing without any special protest and on the local club's terms, was rather a serious blow to the hopes of those dissatisfied players who expected to see the classification law tested.

The Evansville Courier says: "What's the matter with Terre Haute? Come to time up there, or step out of the way and give some other city with money and pluck a chance to come in." Lord bless you, the Terre Haute movement wasn't strong enough to step out of the way. It simply wilted, evaporated, dried up and disappeared in the air.

A meek little Cingalese, fully "atogged," arrived iu New York Friday consigned to Walter Spalding. He was picked up at Ceylon when the Chicago and All-America clubs played there some time ago, and is to act as A. G. Spalding's body-servant and general mascot to the Chicago club. He is a bright little fellow and speaks four languages fluently, but English rather indifferently. His features are dark, but of the Caucasian type.

Evansville Courier: The board of directors of the base ball association met last night and discussed a variety of matters. A telegram was received from Mr. Ridgelv, of Springfield, 111., president of the Central inter-state league, announcing that a meeting of representatives of the various clubs in the league will be held at Springfield on Monday, and Manager Goldsby was authorized to be present as the representative of the Evansville club.

The Advance of tlie Science of Humanity. They now have shops in New York where, by the use of machinery and division of labor, one can go in and have his shoes soled, heeled and patched in a few minutes, "*hileyou wait." The next problem is to wash, iron and pot on one's shirt while be waits. What is science not destined to do for humanity, while it is waiting.—[Boston Globe.

A monument should be erected to the memory of the late Dr. J. W. Bull, discoverer of that wonderful remedy, Dr, Bull's Cough Syrup.

THE OFFICE AND THE MAN.

The Goisip About the Applicants for the Positions. Congressman Johnston is handicapped because he did not lose an arm or a leg.

Senator Sherman is completely overwhelmed with applications of every conceivable sort.

General Grosvenor has received over one thousand applications for the postoffices in his district.

General Lew Wallace's name has been presented for the Mexican mission. He is supporting Tanner for commissioner of pensions, and Meredith for public printer.

The Hon. H. Clay Gooding, of Evansville, called ^pon President Harrison, with ex-Representative Posey just before they left for their homes in Indians. Mr. Goodings is an -applicant for a judiciary position.

There is a new row in Michigan. Alger told the delegation that the solicitor generalship had been promised him, but when the dele|htion called to urge his man, Duffield, General Harrison said he had made no Buch promise.

The rush for the local offices in Ohio may be measured by two statements. In Representative Taylor's district there are about two hundred and twenty-five postoffices. He has received from five to fifteen applications -for each one of them.

The push for oflice comes from all the states. Senator Cullom's situation is a fair sample. He has needed the continuous work of four clerks and all of his own spare time merely to sort out and arrange papers for reference to the proper department.

The entire Iowa delegation called on the president and had a long talk with him. Senators Allison and Wilson, General Henderson. Governor Gear and Mr. Kerr presented three names for the consideration of the president—General Tuttle for commissioner of pensions, exGovernor Stone for commissioner of the general land office, and ex-Congressman Hepburn for commissioner of patents.

The Hon. J. N. Huston left Washington Saturday afternoon, for his home at Connersville. It is probable that he will be nominated, the first of next week, to the position of treasurer of the United States. His name has been mentioned in connection with the first assistant secretaryship of the treasury, or first assistant postmaster general. His friends say, however, that he will be treasurer.

Illinois will ask for public printer and first assistant postmaster general, and for these offices the names of Captain W. M. Meredith and Clark E. Carr may be agreed upon. It is stated that Indiana would join hands with Illinois to get in these two offices if Illinois would help the Hoosier state to get the office of United States treasurer for J. N. Huston, and the bureau of engraving and printing for Captain Holloway, of Indianapolis.

General Sherman has made an urgent personal request of the president that General Joseph E. Johnston should be retained in the office of railroad commissioner, to which he was appointed by Cleveland, and promised to ask nothing more Of the administration. Johnston surrendered to Sherman twenty-four years ago next April. As the position has no patronage, and is non-political, it is probable Sherman will be gratified.

The president has already caused it to be understood that there is nothing to be gained by presenting claims for outside offices at this time. These will not be taken up in earnest for a month or i'mu. xlio mob bniug ou oe atLenueu mj is a reorganization of the departments in Washington, including the now life less civil service commission. One of the early oppointments, in all probability, will be that of Dudley Foulke, of Indiana.

Senator Sherman and Judge Thompson called early at the White house and delivered to General Harrison a written statement of what was agreed upon by the Ohio delegation. They received assurance that Ohio should be justly treated. To have attempted to decide who should be appointed to each place Vould have opened up a contest destructive of all harmony, and so it was decided to choose from all the Ohio applicants a number of leading and proper candidates and submit their names, and at the same time assure the president that the Ohio delegation will abide by his choice, and cordially support whomsoever he may choose. In this way Ohio in congress is in absolute harmony.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MADISOS, Ind., March 9.—At Hanover

college, yesterday, the freshman class in both the classical and scientific departments absented themselves from the Greek and German recitations, and were notified by the faculty that their action, if not apologized for, would lead to sus­

pension. The freshmen unanimously decided not to apologize. At a joint fraternity meeting, held later, it was decided, in event of suspension of the freshmen, that the fraternity pupils in the sophomore, junior and senior classes, numbering sixty, would leave. The members of the literary societies, numbering sixty-four, also decided to do likewise, and thus the matter stands.

President Green tells a Globe-Demo-crat reporter that while in Chicago he understood that the Sire Brothers would make an appeal for a rehearing of their case. This will come up before the committee on appeals, which meets early in May.

The spring meeting of the National jockey club will begin at Ivy City, Washington, April 24. The entries were made public yesterday. There are 166 nominations for the stake races, and it is expected about four hundred horses will be present at the meeting.

George H. Hopper, who has a half interest in Bell Boy, the trotter recently purchased for $51,000, says that he does not intend to trot the famous stallion for three or four years. The horse will remain with Macy Co., of Kentucky, for the present season.

Mr. Gee Grimes, of Parke county, haa brought his fast horses here and now has them in the stalls in the fair ground. He has seven horses with him and expects to have more under his charge. He will remain here during the racing season becau?e, he says, he can find no better track on which to train them.

Messrs. James Miller, of Paris, Ky., and W. H. Wilson, of Cynthiana, have purchased from George Merriam, of Minnesota, the 5 year old stallion San Gabriel, for $6,500. San Gabriel will be placed in the Btud at Sunnyside stock farm, near Paris, and will be a valuable acquisition to the trotting interests of Bourbon.

The Nashviile American says: "W. R. Allen, who in the last few months has bought over one hundred thousand dolWo worth of ki^Li bred trotting stock, is thinking of buying a farm in Kentucky for breeding purposes. Mr. Allen has a fine place at Pittsfield, Mass., but fears the climate is too rigorious for the successful rearing of fine stock.

A trotting horse farm of 200,000 acres is to be established in Sumner county, Tenn. The owners will place McCurdy'a Hambletonian at the head. Mares by Blackwood, jr., Enfield, Wedgewood and noted stallions will be bred from. Great interest in the trotting horse is manifested at present and other farms will be established during the year in the middle section of the state.

Among the best purchases at the Illinois combination horse sale at Peoria, last week, were Lillie Cornish to A. L. Swearingen, of Mendota, for $2,500 Bald Tom, stallion, to T. A. Donald, of Bradford, Pa.^or $345 Bledtown Belle, a 2-year old colt, to J. A. Murphy, Chicago, $400 Ethel S. yearling colt, to George Castle, Chicago, $500. The secretary's books show a total of 116 horses sold, for which a total of $23,290 was paid.

A Lexington special says: The report that has been gaining currency that Mr. Seaman had disposed of the stallion, Bell Boy, to a syndicate headed by John S. Clark, of New Brunswick. N. J., for $40,000, just what the horse had cost him, and that all the money realized above this sum would be divided by the syndicate, provedjto be untrue. Your representative called upon Captain Nicholae, cashier, and Mr. Joshua Shaw, teller, of the Second National bank, to know how the matter stood. Mr. W. T. Woodard deposited the entire $51,000 paid by Messrs. Clark fc Hopper, the purchasers, and then deposited to the credit of C. C. Seaman, the owner of Bell Boy, $47,935.25, which amount is still to Mr. Seaman's credit. This amount is less W. T. Woodard's commission, six per cent., and stable bill. This ought to dissipate the cloud of suspicion that some disappointed parties have tried to throw around the sale of this young horse.
