Tbe president Bent to the senate yesterday another batch of names of good men for public office.

When some miners out in the "rowdy West" destroyed the property of a lot of Chinamen a few years ago this government was called on to foot a big bill of damages. The reports from Chin Kiang suggest that the money can be recovered.

And now it is said that the lower California gold boom is a fizzle. Reports from reliable authority at Los Angeles are that the persons who went from there are returning. It seems that a few nuggetts have been used over and over again aa fresh finds.

The nomination of Mr. A. D. Ilazen to be third assistant postmaster general is especially deserving of commendation. He was one of the last of the chief oflicials of the department removed by Mr. Cleveland simply because more difficulty was found in dispensing with his services than with others. For years he was recognized as a most thoroughly equipped oflicial in the line of his particular duties.

THE INSANE HOSPITAL FINANCES. There is no means of ascertaining the truth about the finances of tbe insane hospital. The investigation by the joint committee of the legislature was cut short by the adjournment of that body and the refusal of the democratic majority to authorize the committee to continue its labors after adjournment. It will also be recalled that the legislature refused to provide for an investigation by experts as recommended by the governor. Indeed, the Democracy was glad to be able to stop the investigation when a little crookedness had been unearthed and claim credit for making that much of an inquiry.

From the following which appeared in the Indianapolis News of last evening it will be seen how likely it is that the few thousand Gapen managed to get away with is but a small portion of the real loss:

Tho full amount or the appropriation had been regularly drawn, with tlie exception ol a few months. State Secretary (iriflln protested against the payment of more than one-twellth of the annual appropriation In any month, claiming that If the expenses were below the limit the surplus should be turned back Into the general fund and should not be drawn to meet expenses In excess of the limit In any subsequent month. He was overruled by (iovernoc (.ray and other members of the board, however. When Information as to what would be shown by the state auditor's books was sought of Deputy Coons this morning, he said that If there was any deficiency the accounts with the auditor would not disclose It. '•They bring to us the estimate of their vouchers fu.r the mouth," he said, "and a warrant Is given them for the amount. Instead of paying the claims for which they present vouchers, they pay the vouchers of two or three months beiore. and so they run along two, three, or probably four months behind all the time. The money that they draw for February, for instance, they will probably use to pay December or November claims, although they have already ilrawn money on the vouchers for those months." ir this method has been pursued the deiiclency may be from .ffrfMXKI to $100,IKK), and there Is no other explanation than that the money has been misused. "The southern prison was run on the same system by .lack Howard," said Mr. Coons. "The northern prison is doing the same tiling." Referring to ills books, Mr. Coons showed that they had drawn over JDO.IW of their appropriation of $K,(KKl for the present year. "I'm getting tired of tIlls tiling." remarked the Deputy Auditor.

EXCHANGE ECHOES

Lincoln Journal: The New Jersey Prohlhs put the Democrats on top In that state, and the legislature lias wiped out till the temperance laws on the statute books.

Omaha Republican: The Rev. Joseph Cook Is traveling around explaining what the Republican party ought to do. Mr. Cook has had ample leisure to study up on the business of other people, never having had any of his own.

Philadelphia Times lind. IVm.:) Whether the choice or the commissioners be Mr. Blaine's or the president's own. It Is entirely worthy of the country and of the possible importance which the Berlin conference may assume.

Indianapolis Journal: In speaking of the contest between Governor Hovey and the Indiana legislature the New York Evening Post Is constrained to say that "the Democratic rocord while that party has controlled the state Institutions has been distinctly worse than that of the Republicans." So truthful a statement from this partisan iwiper is sufficiently noteworthy te deserve a frame.

THE MAN AND THE OFFICE.

Jehu Baker thinks he will go to Venezuela. It is said the Mexican mission lies between Wallace and Egan.

General Chalmers wants to be United States attorney for Mississippi. General Longstreet wants either the customs collectorship at Savannah or register of the treasury. "Carl Pretzel" (Mr. Harris), of Chicago, left Washington thinking he is to be the next governor of Alaska.

Clark E. Carr may go as consul general to Paris, but is coming back to Galesburg without a definite promise.

Cincinnati Commercial: Too many old stagers are after oflice again. Give the younger men a chance, Mr. President.

The opinion is gaining ground at Washington that the president has decided upon the nomination of Corporal Tanner to be commissioner of pensions.

Boston Journal: Someh ow or other it would appear that a good many officeseekers have omitted to paste in their hats President Harrison's suggestion as to "persistent importunity." It is not yet too late.

Judge Taylor, of Fort Wayne, Ind., will probably be appointed one of the civil service commissioners, taking the place of Judge Edgerton, of Indiana, who was removed by President Cleveland just before the change of administration.

The New York politicians are objecting to Fred Grant's appointment as a citizen of that state, but Mr. Blaine told Mr. Iliscock Saturday that, he had not heard of Grant's living elsewhere since he was a candidate for secretary of state on the Republican ticket.

Utica Herald: President Cleveland made hardly an appointment for the territories that was not in violation of his party's pledge, which he made his own in accepting his nomination. With Republicans party pledges mean something with Democrats they mean anything or nothing.

Mr. Alexander Grant, chief clerk of the railway mail service for several years past, is said to be the coming man for the position of general superintendent of the railway mail service. Mr. Grant has been in the oRice for eight or ten years, and was promoted to the position about five years ago.

It is learned, says a special, that Mr. New can have the Russian mission, or the Austian mission, or the consul generalship to London, or any other foreign appointment except the English mission, which has been tendered to Chauncey Depew, or the French mission, which Mr. Whitelaw Reid is supposed to have under consideration.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat: The mere fact that a man was removed from oflice by Cleveland does not entitle him to reinstatement by Harrison. There are other things to be considered, and the new administration will certainly not adopt the theory that such persons have exceptional claims to favor. There are a great many capable and deserving Republicans in the country who have never held an office of anv kind.

Special to the Enquirer: Mr. W. L. Bancroft, general superintendent of the railway mail service, is a Democrat after Tom Dickinson's own heart, and is not ashamed of the faith now. He tendered his resignation on the 1th of March, but was requested to remain on duty until his successor was appointed. Last week he was showing a list of dismissals and appointments for February to Mr. Wanamaker, who asked what cause was assigned for the dismissals. "None," said Mr. Bancroft, "except their politics. All those dismissed were Republicans, and all those appointed were Democrats, and that is the reason why you ought to appoint my successor just as soon as possible." Mr. Wanamaker looked a little surprised, but promised to attend to the matter as soon as he could get around to it.

Washington special: "I have a man in my mind for that place," said the president to Mr. Blaine, when the latter presented the name of Editor Whitelaw Reid for the English mission, "but I do not propose to nominate any one until the British government sends a minister here." The president did not disclose to Blaine what man he had in his mind, and therefore a good deal of guessing has been going on since. Public opinion has concentrated upon the eloquent Chauncey Depew, and there are certain signs in the air which indicate that the English mission has been tendered to Mr. Depew and declined by him. It was a New York man that the president referred to—there is scarcely a doubt of that -and it was either Senator Evarts, ex-Senator Warner Miller, or Mr. Depew. The latter says he would not accept the English mission or any other office. Mr, Evarts say6 it has not been ottered to him, and Mr. Miller's friends say that he could not be tempted out of the country even by so alluring an appointment as the court of St. James that he has no taste for the diplomatic service and no aspirations that way. Mr. Depew's friends say that he is just now in a position where he is making a good deal of money, which is much more important to him than glory and that he can afford to wait. That Mr. Ueid has been tendered the French mission there is very little doubt, and it is equally true that he has not yet decided to accept it, although urged to do so by Mr. Blaine and Mr. William Walter Phelps. Mr. Ueid is thought to be holding off in order that he may have another chance at tka Tju^nuii uiiuuiuir-m-caue rae president unknown declines.

It is scarcely to be wondered at that the crowd of office seekers remains perceptibly undiminished when the number of vacancies yet to be tilled is considered. In the diplomatic service the president has still to make appointments as follows: First-class missions at 817,000— England, France, Germany, Russia. Second-class at Sl'2,000—Austria, China, Mexico. Third-class at $10,000—Central America, Chili. Peru, Turkey. Fourthclass at 87, ."00—Argentine Republic, Belgium, Colombia, Hawaii islands. The Hague, Venezuela, and Greece at 8G,500. Fifth-class at ?.",000—Bolivia, Corea, Hr.yti, Liberia. Paraguay and Uruguay, Persia, Portugal, St. Domingo, Siam. The present occupants of all these positions have tendered their resignations. So have the consuls general at Liverpool, London, Paris and Havana, each of which positions in point of salary and fees, is equal to a mission, and, in fact, better than most of them. There are seventeen importaut positions still to be tilled in the treasury department—commissioner of internal revenue, comptroller of the currency, treasurer, register (an easy berth 1 commissioner of customs (nothing to do except to draw salary) supervising architect, chief of bureau of engraving and printing, chief of bureau of statistics, first comptroller (the most autocratic position in the government, from whose decisions there is no appeaO, second comptroller, six auditors and the director of the mint (another position

wamam&, __

which a man of ordinary capacity might fill without laying awake at nights). In the interior department there are vacancies for a first assistant secretary, commissioner of the land office, commissioner of pensions, superintendent of census (with a good deal of patronage at his disposal in the taking of the next census), commissioner of railroad and commissioner of Indian affairs. Ther© is th© muchsought office of public printer, two not much-sought vacancies on the civil service commission, and one vacancy on the inter-state commerce commission. There is also a_ vacant judgesnip and district commissionership in Washington, which the local politicians will not forget, and there are consulships all over the world, all the presidential postoffices, collectorships, of customs and internal revenue, United States marshals and district attorneys, and several territories with their Democratic officers not yet all removed.

ECRKTARY NOBLE A KILLER. -J:

He Says He is Slaughtering Some or the Ofliceseekera. A Washington Sunday paper prints the following story:

When the personnel of President Harrison's cabinet had not been decided upon several months ago, General -Sobio, now secretary of the interior, wrote a letter to General Warner, then a representative in congress, stating that he thought Missouri was entitled to a place in the cabinet, and asked General Warner if he would not like to have such a position. The latter replied that he had decided to retire to private life to devote himself to his law practice. He observed that it would probably be best to adhere to this determination. Mr. Noble then wrote another letter to General Warner, stating that no doubt the latter was right in refusing to accept a public position. A few months afterwards Mr. Noble was made secretary of the interior himself. It was not until yesterday, however, that he found time to write to Gen. Warner again. This time he said: "When I said you were perfectly right in keeping away from the house I had no idea of courting the girl."

Apropos of this, as the secretary was leaving his office yesterday a well-known correspondent congratulated him on looking so well and said that he was glad that the cares of office were not killing him. "No," retorted the secretary, "the duties of my office are not killing me I am killing the oflioe seekers."

NO LONGER THE BEST BREWING COMPANY

The Well Known Milwaukee Brewery Will Bear tlie Name of Captain Pabst The Ph. Best brewing company has decided to change its long-established and celebrated name to the "Pabst Brewing Company." The business of the Empire brewery was begun on a limited scale in 1812 by Jacob Best, assisted by his sons, Philip, Jacob, jr., Charles and Lorenz. After various changes, the business passed into the hands of Philip Best in I860. Four years later that gentleman admitted his son-in-law, Captain Fred Pabst, to partnership in the business. In 1SG5 Philip Best retired from active business life and his other son-in-law, the late Emil Schandein, entered into partnership with Captain Pabst. Eight years later the form in which the business was managed was changed again, and the "Philip Best Brewing company" was incorporated. Captain Pabst was chosen president, Mr. Schandein was made vice president, and Charles Best, jr., son of one of the original founders of the business, was elected secretary. In 1803 the total amount of beer made by the concern was 3,077 barrels. Last year over 500,000 barrels were shipped. The capital stock has been increased to $4,000,000. There is no change in the officers.

HIGH LICENSE AT.TOLIET.

What It Has Done for a City that Needed Money. Joliet is one of the most striking examples of the advantages of high license and its experience is commended to other municipalities which need more money to pay their current expenses, but are unable or unwilling to ask the taxpayers for it. Tn 1S82 Joliet, with a population of 15,000, had 127 saloons, which paid a license of 825 each, or a total of 83,175. When the state passed the present high license law Joliet, then as now a strongly Democratic city, raised the license fee to SI,000. There was an outcry against the discriminating tax, but_ the result proved beneficial. From 127 the saloons dropped to fifty-five. From §3,175 the yearly license receipts rose to 855,000. This sum pays the police, the firemen, the city officers, and the cost of street cleaning and lighting. The money raised by general taxation, which would otherwise be used for these objects, is employed for other useful purposes. Now having reached a population of about thirty thousand the Joliet people think of raising the license to 85,000 and cutting down the number of saloons to fifteen. That would give the city 820,00 more revenue than now, and would make the watching of the saloons still easier.—[Chicago Tribune.

Harrison's Habit.

Special Dispatch to the Enquirer. WASHINGTON, March 17.—In one reBpect President Harrison is different from the president who in the last four years bas occupied the White house. He has an Inclinatiuu to walk aoout the city for the pure pleasure of the stroll. This afternoon he left the White house, accompanied by "Lige," and traversed the parks in the north-we6t part of the city. Neither were generally recognized because the inhabitants of Washington have not yet been educated to expect to run across a president taking a Sunday stroll. Mr. Cleveland, when president, was rarely seen, and then generally in a carriage. There is probably no person who spent four years in public life at the national capital who knows so little in regard to the city as he. His personal observations of the most beautiful city in the world were made through a carriage window.

Another Champion Imitating Joliu L, CHICAGO, March 18.—Jacob Schaeffer, the champion billiard player, was a prisoner in the Armory police court this morning with four others, A. W. Scott, Louis Maas, James Brady and S. S. Fitzgerald, and all of them were charged with disorderly conduct. The evidence in the case was to the effect that about three o'clock this morning Shaeffer, Maas and Brady were going along the street when they met Fitzgerald and Scott in company with a couple of women. An alleged insulting remark was made by one of Schaeffer's party and a free fight was the result. The magistrate this morning discharged Schaeffer, and let the others off with light penalties.

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, T(( ^PAY MORNING, MARCH 19, 1889.

THE NEWS

DIANAP0LIS.

As the Buprem

is* Airt's ruling upon

the petition of JcA |u. Griffiths related solely to the const} Kionality of the section requiring the to prepare syllabi of their decisions, it is asserted by the Sentinel and Borne of the supporters of the measure that the part of the act limiting the compensation of the supreme court reporter to the salary allowed him is not affected, says the Indianapolis News. Mr. Griffiths, however, is perfectly satisfied with the decision. 'The constitutionality of the provisions passed upon by the court," he said to-day, "renders the entire hill null and void, as the legislative intent can not forcibly be effectuated with those provisions stricken out. The bill must stand or fail as an entirety. The Sentinel insists that the Shambaugh bill relieves the taxpayers of a great burden. That the contrary is the fact can be very easily demonstrated. Under the law which has been in force for thirteen years, the state is required to take 520 copies of each volume of the Indiana reports, for which she pays $3.50 a volume. Of the number taken by the state, about two hundred and sixteen copies are distributed gratuitously to the various counties, courts and colleges in the state, while the remaining copies are sold or exchanged for almost, if not quite, the full value. The actual expense to the state of the reporter's office is the cost of the volumes gratuitously distributed and nothing more. About four volumes are issued each year 316 volumes at $3.50 per volume is $756, and at the rate of four volumes a year would make a total annual outlay of 83,021.

The state does not pay me a single dollar for salary, assistance or for anything else. Tnere are no fees attached to the office." "How is it under the Shambaugh bill?" "The items of salaries alone, including the appropriation made to the secretary of state, who has charge of the sale of the reports, aggregates 87,200 a year, or more than twice as much as the entire cost to the state under the old law, under which I intend to act, regarding the opinion of the supreme court as practically a decision of the unconstitutionality of the whole act. No appropriation has been made for the maintenance of the law library for a number of years. It has been maintained solely through the sale and exchange of the Indiana reports by the state, and is to-day the third best equipped law library in the United States. A large deficit would occur under the Shambaugh bill, as only 81.50 a volume should be received by the state for books sold, instead of 83.50 a volume as at present. The increased cost to the state, by reason of salaries to be paid -and necessary appropriation for the law library, and volumes to be gratuitously distributed would be at least $10,000 a year. On the score of economy, the bill is therefore indefensible, to say nothing of the fact that it leaves the office of less value than my law practice, which I abandoned to make the race, without taking into ac count the great expense necessary to a state canvass. The office is most exacting in its requirements and the task has to be performed with the greatest care. "The Indiana reports rank up with those of any other state. No complaints were made by the Sentinel of the exorbitant fees of the office during Mr Kern's term. He enjoyed them, what ever they might have been, for four yeafti, with the tacit consent at least of that paper. The income of the office has been grossly exaggerated. This is the first time to my knowledge that the compensation of a state officer has been reduced during bjs term. That the attempt lias'fafled seems to meet with very general approval irrespective of party. A considerable portion of the profits of the office, I might add, comes from lawyers residing out of the state."

FROM EIGHT TO SIX.

How the Attorney General Construes tlie Law Reducing School Fund Interest. The new law reducing the interest on school fund loans from 8 to 6 per cent is the subject of an opinion prepared for the state auditor by Attorney General Michener, who thinks the act was only intended to operate prospectively, for it has no application to outstanding loans, but relates solely to moneys belonging to the funds which "shall be loaned." Many of the counties have been unable to loan at 8 per cent, a considerable portion of the school funds, and they have, therefore, been compelled to make up large sums due to the school revenue for tuition out of county revenues. In view of this fact, and the language used in the act it is evident that the legislative purposes was to relieve the counties and not to confer a benefit on individuals. A portion of the funds to which the act applies—the congressional township school fund—is held in trust by the state, through its counties and it is not to be presumed, even if it is granted, that there is no constitutional objection, that the state was so recreant in the management of its trust as to voluntarily relinquish 2 per cent, a year on valid outstanding loans of the funds. County auditors should not record payments of loans before their maturity if they do, they render themselves liable. Judgments on loans heretofore made will bear 8 per cent., but hereafter the interest on such judgments will be 0 per cent.

Contradicted by the Governor. Governor Hovey sayB there is absolutely no truth in tbe statement published in the Sentinel that lie said to a friend that, if the supreme oourt should ouotaiu him in the question he has raised regarding the legislature's right to elect men to office, he would call an extra session of the general assembly. He says that he has not thought of calling an extra session, and will not do so. If he should be sustained by the supreme court he would appoint trustees of the different institutions, and the affairs of the state would be managed without need of assistance from the legislature. As to the statement that the governor has failed to keep his promise to make non-partisan appointments he says that he never told any person that he would make such appointments, except for the benevolent institutions, and in selecting three Republican commissioners for tbe Kankakee river improvement he thinks he has not violated his promise.

Must Swear to Their Report*. State Superintendent La Follette is endeavoring to obtain a more accurate enumeration of the school children of Indiana than has been made in previous years, and he has addressed to the trustees of the different towns and cities a circular letter urging that the persons who take the enumeration shall be made to feel their responsibility. With this view, he advises that they should be required to file with the county superintendent at the time of making the report an affidavit attesting the accuracy of the enumeration.

They Want a Branch in Indiana. Governor Hovey has received from

the New Jersey society of the Sons of the Revolution, composed of the descendants of persons who were in the Revolution, a request for the use of a room in the capitol for a meeting to organize an Indiana branch of the society. If a room in the capitol cannot be obtained, they want him to secure quarters elsewhere, and it is desired that the state .branch should be organized at once, in order that Indiana may be represented at the centennial celebration of the inauguration of G«orge Washington as president of the United States.—[Indianapolis News.

S He Has Determined to Resign. On account of ill-health and because the pay is insufficient, Deputy Warden Barnes, of the prison south, has determined to resign at the end of this month. The salary is $800 a year. The bill to increase it to §1,200 failed to pass the legislature.—[Indianapolis News.

It is said that the stranger is a professional.

The O'Leary-Judd fight, which was to have been pulled off at Hessville, was broken up by the Indiana authorities. The men and their friends then hurried to South Chicago, Sunday, where the fighters quickly stripped and a battle begun. Thirty-seven rounds were fought in two hours and forty minutes. Both men displayed considerable science and fought vigorously, Judd being badly used up. In the thirty-seventh round O'Leary got in the finishing blow, and was awarded the gate money and the fight. About one hundred sports were at the ring side. O'Leary is a brother of the one who fought Ryan.

TURF NOTES.

Thirteen miles from Cheyenne is what is said to be the largest horse farm in the world. There are 120,000 acres of land, where roam 5,000 horses, which require the constant attention of sixtyfive men. One hundred miles of wire fence keeps the animals in bounds.

William Reddieg, the "Cuban Horse King," has bought thirty head of Kentucky trotters for shipment to Havana. Among them is Bosque Bonita, a fast young mare, sired by Maey's Hambletonian, which last season, in her 4-year-old form, made 2:2014 on a half mile track, and for which he paid J. E. Madden 810,000.

Another Kvansville Enterprise. Among other enterprising things being done at Evansville which go to show that the once dreary place has started on a booming career is the sale of the Stockwell place above the city on the line of the new dummy railroad, for 840,000. It is to be converted into an attractive park.
