The newspapers of the country are taking much enjoyment in Rhody Shiel, who has been down to Washington, but how do t.h»y know that the president in incapable of enjoying a good thing when he sees it?

What has the Gazette to say about the vote of Andrew Grimes against increas ing the rate of license for saloons? Not a word. This same Gazette, which spasmodically supports the high license proposition, recently praised Handy Andy as one who represented the better element of Terre llaute.

While our Irish American fellow citizens are fully entitled "to boom" the ex ercises on St. Patrick's day it should not be considered that they alone are expected to help the Parnell cause, which is to be made the chief object of the evening's entertainment. There are many whose Americanism is of several generations back who would willingly help in the movement for home rule for Ireland.

The careful observer begins to recognize the admirable ability of President Harrison in assorting men for pub lie offices. While the public has been led to believe that certain pegs were too big for particular holes President Harrison seems tohaveno difficulty in making them lit comfortably in the holes he picked out for them. Then, too, some of the pegs at first supposed to be too small for other holes seem to be very snug tits. President Harrison is show ing the people that during all the time he was listening and others were talking he was taking some very careful measurements.

There is an apparent purpose on the part of the defenders of the policeman and his club to make it appear that the Why it is thiit this undesirable population has suddenly accumulated here we may be able to successfulty dispute the opinion of police authorities in every large city in the country to the effect that this particularly bad element of thieves and toughs congregate in cities where public gambling and all-night saloons are permitted by the police authorities. And, since we thus return to the question of public gambling, why is it, can any one tell, that the policeman who is so zealous with his club on the parasite of the gambling den, is altogether oblivious of the den itself?

A Washington correspondent is forced to admit that the Indianians have been much maligned that they are not besieging the White house and that only a small sqund is in Washington. "These persons," he says, "are deporting themselves with propriety," only charging up against them their habit of referring to the president as '•Ben." It will be remembered that much was said about the austerity and aristocracy of "Ben" but since he became president we learn that no head of the family in the White house was ever more accessible than this aristocratic, cold "Ben" Harrison. He walks about town, causing the Washingtonians to open their eyes in wonder because they had come to believe, during the reign of the jovial, big fellow, who lived over a beer saloon in Buffalo, that the occupant of the White house could not show himself to the vulgar populace. Gradually the people will discern that Indiana's "Uen," while he may never have been a hail-fellow-well-met about town, is a self-re-specting, yet very cordial gentleman. It is a distinction worth observing. There is a big lesson in it.

LYNCH LAW-

Down in Virginia on Wednesday a man accused of an outrage on the person of a woman was taken from the jail by a mob, shot and horribly mutilated and then hanged. Now, we put in no plea that he did not deserve the punishment, but we do say that the proper authorities did not inflict the punishment, and that brings us to the application of the point sought to be made against the practice of some of our policemen who inflict punishment at their own discretion.

On Wednesday a police officer found it necessary to arrest a west end tough (it is a pity more arrests of this species are not made) and the Gazette tells this story:

On the way to the jail Moore's language was ot an atrociously vile bawdy house character and lie was soler enough to know what he was saying and doing. Captain Murphy sailed In and taught the rutllan a lesson. When he got through with him Moore didn't look as pretty as he might, but he was like the boy who was.kicked by the mule—lie knew more,

This Is cheerful news. May Captain Murphy's

strone right arm never fall when It is directed against scalawags ol this class.

The Terre Haute offender was not mutilated and killed, but he was punished without trial, and what happened to him waa no different, except in the severity of the punishment, from the fate that overtook the Virginia offender. Neither proceeding was according to law. Lynch law is lynch law, even if the victim is not mutilated and killed.

IN THE COAL MINES.

The mining outlook in Indiana is not what might be desired at this time. The mild winter and the increased use of natural gas and crude oil as fuel have had a depressing effect which only needed the failure at Columbus to agree on a scale of wages for the ensuing year to make a climax for a bad season

The Express

assert

itself to the end that an agreement may be reached so that mining operations may go on without serious in terruption.

This is a fitting occasion, however, to refer to the benefit of the protective tariff. Our free trade and free coal friends will try to make it appear that this hitch in the coal industry is owing to the protective tariff, ignoring the fact that but for the protective tariff we would have no such great industry here to be Bubject to a temporary drawback of this kind. But, suppose there was no import duty on coal? Our contemporary, the Gazette, in rebuking Mr. Voerhees for the position he took against the removal of the duty, said that free coal would compete only with the soft coal of West Virginia and Maryland which goes to the Atlantic seaboard market. Granted. Then the West Virginia and Maryland miners would be driven elsewhere for employment. To-day our miners are not steadily at work because there is not work enough for all of them. Suppose a few thousand miners out of work in West Virginia and Maryland should come into our Indiana coal fields at the present time, what would be the effect? The free traders here insisted that the mine operator is a heartless employer, a monopolist, one who opposes the laboring man. If that be true what a splendid opportunity he would have now, if these Maryland and West Virginia miners were here hungry and wanting work, to reduce wages still farther!

MR. GEO* DURHAM'S RESIDENCE BURNED.

Mrs. Cramlall, Aged 7 1 Years, Jumps From a Second-Story Window.

The residence of Mr. George Durham, a farmer living four miles south of the city on the Prairieton road, burned yesterday morning shortly after ten o'clock. When the fire was discovered the roof was enveloped in llames. The residence was totally destroyed, but considerable household furniture was saved. Mrs. Crandall, Mr. Durham's mother-in-law, was unable to descend by the stairway from the second-story, onjaccount of the flames, and jumped from a second story window. She was severely shaken by the fall, being 74 years old. There was no insurance on the property. The house was valued at one thousand five hundred or two thousand dollars, which is a total lose. The neighbors gathered to assist in saving the property, and by hard work the barn was saved.

The Three Sultans.

The British man-of-war Sultan ran aground a few days ago, and about the same time a British steamer of the same name was abandoned at sea in a sinking condition. The sultan at Constantinople has been in as desperate a condition as either for along time, but British bondholders have kept him afloat so far. Nothing is so buoyant as a bonded debt sometimes.

THE NEWS AT INDIANAPOLIS.

Phillip M. Gapen, treasurer of the insane hospital board, was arrested Thursday evening on a grand jury capias, charging him with embezzlement, says the Indianapolis News of last evening.

This is a culmination long foreseen by those who have observed the conduct of the asylum's "gang." The twittering of blue birds and the whistling of robins are not more indicative of spring than are the signs that punishment to fit the crime of each individual who has wronged the Btate will be meted out. The county grand jury yesterday called before it a number of wit­

nesses

has hope, however, that

the spirit which, for a few years obviated strike troubles will successfully

for the purpose of investigating the misuse of the funds of the benevolent institution. It was intended to con tinue the investigation at the next sitting of the grand jury, but an intimation was passed through the key-hole that Canada is not far away, and instead of continuing the matter, an in dictment against Phillip M. Gapen was returned. The indictment reads as follows:

The erand jurors for the county of Marlon and

fflffiss.

1889 being then and there charged and Intrusted wuh theElection, receipts, safe keeping, transfer and disbursement of moneys Belonging to and

under the

control of the state of Indiana, did un­

lawfully. feloniously and fraudulently convert to htH own u36 and to the use of one John E. Sulllran a large sum of said money, to-wlt: Three thousand dollars, the property of the state of Indiana, contrary to law, contrary to the form of the statute in such cases made and provltfed, and against the peace and dignity of the state of Indiana.

SECOND COUNT

The erand jurors aforesaid, upon their oaths aforesaid, do further present that Phillip M. (*aoen, on the 1st day of March, A. D., 18S9, at and In the county and state aforesaid, being then and there entrusted with the collection, receipt, safe keeping, transfer and disbursement of money belonging to and under the control of the state of Indiana, did then and there unlawfully, feloniously and fraudulently loan to one John t. Sullivan a large sum of money, to-wlt: Three thousand dolars of the state ot Indiana, contrary to law, con trary to the form of the statute In such cases made

and

provided and against the peace and dignity of the suite of Indiana.

jA^rusecutlngtAUorney.

The indictment was returned at 5:30, out its existence was not generally known until day. At 9 clock last night Deputy Sheriff Langberg knocked at the door of Mr. Gapen's residence. He found Mr. Gapen surrounded by his family. Mr. Gapen put on his hat and coat and went with the officer to the residence of John J. Cooper, and then to the home of Franklin Landers. These gentlemen signed a five-thousand-dollar bail bond, and Mi*. Gapen returned home.

The witnesses whose names appear on the back of the bill are Albert Kopp,

cashier

of the Meridian national bank

J. S. Hall, storekeeper of the insane hospital, and Thomas S. Galbraith, superintendent of the hospital, and it is probable that the indictment was found on their testimony. The money alleged to have been embezzled is the 33,000 to recover which Gapen recently brought suit against the Meridian bank. Gapen, it will be remembered, loaned John E. Sullivan 84,700, part of which was paid, but a check signed by Sullivan for the balance came back protested, and Gapen in his suit claimed the bank had converted the balance to its own use.

GRIFFITH'S FEES NOT CUT OFF.

Decision of the Supreme Court on the Shiimbaugh Bill. Persons who have objected to the act

of the late legislature which cut off the feeB of the supreme court reporter and made the office a salaried one, have witu muuu inherent?,

lis News. Many who favored such a law became hostile to the one lately passed because it was evidently political in intent and designed to apply to the term of the present incumbent of the office, John L. Griffiths. Practically it is ex post facto. He had given much time,and had been at heavy expense in securing his election to the place in the belief that the income connected with it was sufficient to justify him in doing so. The new law was such as to make the position wholly undesirable and not remunerative to an able lawyer. It would have worked serious injustice to Mr. Griffiths. He proceeded at once, as has been publishqjk to contest the validity of the act and the supreme court to-day decided it unconstitutional.

The court, in an opinion written by Chief Justice Elliott, and concurred in by all the judges, says:

If the act assumed to require the judges of the supreme court to perform the duties of the clerk, by preparing entries, or the duties of the sheriff by preparing returns for him, we suppose no one would hesitate to declare It void. The fact that the officer whose duties the act assumes to direct the judges to perform is the reporter, and not the clerk or sheriff, can make no difference. Neither shade nor semblance of difference am be discerned by the keenest vision between the cases instanced by way of Illustration and the real case. The principle which rules Is this: Judges cannot be required to perrorm any other than Judicial duties. This is a rudlmental principle of constitutional law. To the science ot jurisprudence It is as the axiom that the whole Is equal to all Its parts, Is to the science of mathematics. There Is no contrariety of opinion upon tills subject there Is no tinge of reason for expecting a different doctrine. We quote Judge Cooley's statement of the principle although It is found In a book Intended for beginners, because It expresses the law clearly and tersely. This Is his statement: "Upon judges, as such, no fuctlons can be Imposed except those of a judielal nature." Principles of court law, 53.

The court quotes section live and six of article seven of the constitution, and says: "These provisions. when read in connection with section one of article three, distributing the powers of government. and section one, article seven, lodging the whole judicial power of the state In the courts, make it perfectly clear that the legislature can not Impose any of the duties of the reporter upon the supreme -court. The last clause of section six Is a positive prohibition, and no judge can, without an open defiance of the constitution he has sworn to support, take upon himself the duties of reporter." The court also quotes an opinion of Field, J., now one of the judges of the supreme court of the United States, in Houston vs. Williams. 13 Calf. 24, the following: "The truth Is. no such power can exist In the legislative department, or be sanctioned by any court which lias the le ist respert for Its own dignity and Independence. In Its own sphere this court can not be trammeled by any legislative Interference.''

The decision has no significance as applied to the other constitutional cases before the court.

Big Pay For Little Work.

The assistant secretary of the senate. J. D. Carter, has filed with State Secretary Griffin the journal of proceedings, which has been sent to the printer for publication. In the closing days of the session a resolution was adopted allowing him S500 to complete the work on the journal, which, it was stated, would probably require three weeks'time, with the assistance of the clerks. It has been done in less than three days' time, and the assistant secretay's pay for this extra labor is at the rate of about one hundred and fifty dollars per day. The secretary of the senate was treated even more generously. He was allowed $"00 for making an index, which can easily be done by a competent person in about two days.—[Inianapolis News.

HOW TO.USEtSTALK BREAD-

They are also delicious stirred in browned butter, and Bprinkled over the top of meat dumplings or used for potatoes au gratin, tomato farci, etc.

Slices of toast are appetizing with poached eggs on top, or a spoonful of bash, minced fish, Welsh

rare-bit,

aspar-

gus, etc. Or they may be cut in small squares and added to t|e soup as it goes to the table.

Slices of bread spread with butter may be laid on top of a good custard and baked in the usual manner. Or they may be laid in a dish alternately with stewed or preserved fruit, a custard poured over them, and baked.

Bite and broken pieces of bread should be spread on a pie-plate or baking pan, and browned slowly in an oven, with the door open rolled (while still hot) on a

bread-board,

and put away in tin boxes

or air-tight jars. They will be found far nicer than cracker crumbs for dipping oysters, chops, cutlets, small fish or anything else which is fried in egg and cracker.

Slices of stale bread are delicious spread with butter and browned in a quick oven, with a thin slice of cheeee laid on each, and put back into the oven long enough to melt the cheese. They are nice also dipped in $ bather made of one egg, one cup of lk, one cup of flour and one-half teaspoonful of salt fried in hot butter or dripping until a light brown, and used as a breakfast or tea dish, or eaten with molasses or sugar as a dessert.

Slices of bread, no matter how stale, make good toast, if held for aE instant over glowing coals. Pile them leatly on a plate and send it to the tabte hot or dip each slice quickly in a dish of boiling water to which has been added a large lump of butter and a Ittle salt. This is called water toast, and should be served in a heated covered dish. If milk toast is preferred, pile thes« dipped slices in a deep dish boil a pint of milk, stir in a teaspoonful of con starch, moistening with cold milk or water, a large lump of butter and a little salt. Stir all together until it begins to thick­

en

then pour over the toast.

BABY JI'KEE.

He Manipulates the Call-bells

it

tlie Pres­

ident's OlHce.

Baby McKee has been creating a sen Bation at the White house, not because of any desire to make mischief, it should be said, but simply because of his inex perience in public affairs, says a Washington special. As has been repeatedly announced in the newspapers, the president of the United States is fond of Baby McKee and Baby McKee is fond of the president of the United States. These profound sentiments of distinguished consideration being fully reciprocated, Baby McKee is allowed more liberties about the head of this government than the ordinary officeseeker, or even a member of the cabinet, among which may be included the privilege of entering the library of the president at all times and wandering about at his own sweet will, and for this reason it happened. There are oi the desk of the president—the deBk presented him by Queen Victoria and made out of the timbers of the ship Resolute, which brought from the arctics the re mains of the Sir John Franklin expftdi oa'-inrwit irnathifa-Msg, he can summon his secretaries and attendants at any time. One of these six keys calls the private secretary, another the executive secretary, and the rest the telegraph operator, the stenographer, the telephone man, the messenger, the door-keeper, and so on. And all of these officers, in fact almost every member of the official staff at the White bouse, rushed into the president's room in frantic haste yesterday afternoon, not knowing whether the president had been assassinated or not, but suspecting that the worst had happened because of the violent and continued ringing of these bells. But it was only Baby McKee, who had found anew plaything.

AN UMBRELLA ALARM.

It Sounds tlie Loud Bell Wlien Strange Hands Take Hold.

The Chicago Tribune says there is a new device which it is intended will effectually bfiflle hereafter the indiscriminate picking up by expert fiends of umbrellas, canes, walking-sticks and the like. The novelty will soon be out on the market. A steel rod is driven through the canes or umbrella handle, which project about a quarter of an inch beyond the ferule. This rod is made to connect with a ratchet which in turn acts upon a wound-up spring, connecting with a small bell located in the head of the cane or umbrella. When the stick is stood up against the wall or elsewhere the rod sets the ratchet, and the least movement sets the little bell going. The attachment is womed on the same principle as the burglar alarms, and is capable of being set in seventytwo different combinations. While walking the owner can turn off the combination and the cane with the attachment becomes an ordinary walking-stick. The combination is set only when the owner of the cane sets it dowp in any one place. The beauty of this new invention is that it can be applied equally as well to hats, ladies' hand-bags, satchels, and traveling-bags.
