THE REPUBLICAN TICKET,

The Republicans have nominated a creditable city ticket.—(Gazette.

The Gazette's two charges against Republican candidates, made in pursuance of a plan of campaign to be conducted on "high plane" are admittedly roorbacks. It is a safe thing to set down as naught anything it may say from this time on.

It free a Democratic recorder, by the way, who made the blunder which led the Gazette into its ridiculous attack on Mr. Hauck. Perhaps our contemporary for this reason feels that it is absolved from making an apology for the unjustifiable attack on a Republican candidate.

Our contemporary makes a lame effort toward explaining its misrepresentation of the property interests of the Republican candidates for councilmen, but as yet, fails to make any sort of apology or explanation for the "high plane" campaign warfare which it made on Mr. Ilauck. It knows that it was wrong that it was guilty of misrepresentation, but it utterly ignores the matter.

Investigations by reporters is the fad now in metropolitan journalism. They assume all manner of characters to get into the secret of public institutions and the ways of life in general. Most of such efforts have resulted in the exposure of wrongs, but in no instance of a more hideous condition of affairs than laid bare by the Chicago Times reporter who witnessed the brutality and murder in the Cook county insane hospital.

(ieorj^ Washington did not hava to begin his administration by tiring out officials appointed by the other party. This gave him a better start than some other presidents have had. Perhaps our Benjamin will get little time for some statesmanship toward the close of his term.—[CourierJournal.

No Democratic newspaper was more clamorous for the "firing out of officials appointed by the other party" than the Courier-Journal when Mr. Cleveland came into office. This sneer, therefore, comes with poor grace from it.

The Atlanta Constitution Is right the Confederate veterans can not and will not ask alms of the North. Their own people will do all that Is needed for them. [New Orleans Times-Democrat.

We are glad to see this spirit manifesting itself in the South. Certainly, no one wants to see the country divided on sectional lines in the matter of charity, but it is hardly the fair thing for the South to appeal to the North for charity when its solid South Democracy is supplying party campaign funds for the North. Last year at the time Terre Haute and other Indiana cities were sending money to the yellow fever cities in the South neighboring cities of those atllicted were sending Democratic campaign boodle to be used in Terre Haute and elsewhere. Virtually Terre Haute's charity money was returned as Democratic campaign funds from which Mr. Andy Grimes gHve a "block of five" men $50.

INDIANA NEWS NOTES.

The Indiana state medical society began its annual convention at Indianapolis Wednesday. Several hundred doctors are in attendance. The membership of the society is now over one thou sand two hundred, but during tbe year 187 doctors were suspended. It is claimed for it that it is the largest and beet organized body of physicians in the United States. For over a year the society has been endeavoring to bring into shape a plan for establishing a college under its patronage, to be supported by the county societies, taking the pauper practice in their respective counties and turning* over to the college trustees the Jmoney received for the services rendered. It was found, as the chairman of the committee to carry out the plan reported to-day, that the plan was impractical, because "irregular" doctors would underbid the society. Ia the business that closed the convention, yesterday,*Dr. J. D. Gatcb, of Lawrenceburg, was elected president Dr. S. T. Yount, of Lafayette, vice president Dr. E. S. Elder, Indianapolis secretary for the tenth consecutive term Dr. T. C. Kennedy, Shelbyville, assistant secretary Dr. .Prank C. Ferguson, Indianapolis, treasurer, and Dr. J. F. Hibbird, of Richmond, committee on necrology.

A bill to protect professional men, mcluding physicians, from speculative litigation, which is frequently brought solely for money-making purposes, was introduced into the late legislature at the instance of the medical society. It was introduced too late for it to get through, however, and the society to-day determined to continue to work up a sentiment in favor of it and keep it before the public with the hope of getting it passed two years hence. On this account the composition of the committee on legislation was important. Its members are Drs. G. W. H. Kemper, F. W. Beard, B. F. Spann and J. Weist. Four hundred "members of the society were present during the convention, which is about the usual attendance.

A GHASTLY RUNAWAY.

r* vtf

A Wagon Load of Corpses Tumbled Out Into the Street.

People walking in the vicinity of Indiana avenue and North street witnessed a peculiar and ghastly accident this morning, says the Indianapolis News. Charles Girton, whose undertaking establishment is in that vicinity, was transferring a wagon-load of bodies, chiefly children, from a vault in Greenlawn cemetry, to be buried in the poor farm. His black wagon made a start for the latter place, when the driver

Btopped

and jumped out to get some tools at the stable. In his absence the horses made a dash away. Some fastenings gave way, and the wagon tongue dropped and ploughed into the ground. The wagon was completely upended, and its velocity carried it forward and landed it upon the backs of the horses. Several coffins tumbled out into the street and burst wide open, and the skull of a corpse rolled on the ground. It was a bad smash-up. The wagon's tongue snapped to pieces and the top was torn off. The horses were bruised, but it is not yet determined whether their injuries are permanent.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. -'~v' TIPTON,

May 1.—An unknown man

has been creating considerable excitement in Tipton during the past few days, by catching women on the streets after night and forcibly hugging them. Several ladies have been insulted in this manner by him. He conceals himself behind trees and then catches any women that may chance to be passing. Last night he attempted to overtake a couple of ladies who were going, home about nine o'clock, but was frightened away by some boys. All the ladies who have suffered at his his hands describe him alike, and the authorities think they have the guilty person located. v.

Sullivan's Name is Drawn.

A special venire of twenty-four jurors were drawn yesterday from which to select twelve men to try John J. Clements for the murder of Paul Nowland. Among the names drawn was that of John E. Sullivan. As Mr. Sullivan is traveling abroad, he will not serve.—[Indianapolis News.

Wm. Starks climbed the flagstaff at the National cemetery at New Albany, 140 feet in hlght, and repaired the halliard so that a flag couM be raised. The feat was a perilous one, as there was great danger that the flagstaff would snap In twain.

A wedding tf more than ordinary interest was performed at Fort Wayne by 'Squire France. The groom, Aurella Payne, Is past TO. whUe the fcrlde, Mtss Alice Coleman, Is scarcely 19 years of age. Mr. Payne has an enviable record In the matrimonial line. He has been married eight times, has burled six wives, was divorced from the seventh and now the eighth, a blooming maid, lolls peacefully In his experienced arms. Payne does not consider marriage an absolute failure.

Last Words to a Wife.

A codicil to the will of the late Ferdinand Wehrie. of No. 1915 east Dauphin street, admitted to probate Thursday, lays strong injunctions upon his wife, Veronica, to lead an upright and religious life, and especially to take care of

the dead man's mother. "Do not regard her faults," it says, "as you also have yours. Do not be rude to Ijer, and do not make her old days bitter. Keep her

with

you as long as she or you live. Do it for the love of me, aa I would tarn myself in my grave and would have no

rest."—[Philadelphia

PERU jgXPECTED TO PAY

for a Grow Outrage to an American Citizen. Special to the Commercial-Gazette.

WASHINGTON,

May 1.—One of the first

cases of attempting to redress the wrongs dene to an American citizen by a foreign power, to he taken up by Secretary Blaine, will be that of MacCord, of Pennsylvania, formerly United States consular agent to Peru. The readers of the Commercial-Gazette may, perhaps, remember that'attention was called last February to the assault, by Peruvians, upon the liberty, property and life of Victor H. MacCord, in 1885, a citizen of Pennsylvania, and at the time ths general manager of the Meigs and Thorndike system of railways from the coast of Peru, at Mollando, through Araynipa to the City of Puno, on Lake Titicaca, which, with its branches, covers nearly five hundred miles.

The facts then given to the public made the crime against. MacCord, who was at the time a consul, or consular agent of the United States in Peru, one of the boldest and most'brutal ever offered and committed by a civilized country to and upon a person sojourning within its realm. Mr. MacCord, as ge eral manager, was receiving a sal from the railway company of $10,000 ^.^ annum, when the road was seized by the Peruvians, he thrown into prison, and a ransom of $30,00 demanded, and, being refused, he was marched out at midnight by a squad of soldiers for the execution of an order that had been given to shoot him. This occurred in 1885 and was promptly communicated to tbe state department at Washington, where it still remains undisposed of.

While it cannot be denied that Secretary Bayard was derelict in duty, it turns out that there was no delay upon the part of our minister representing this government at Lima,Peru, the Hon. Charles W. Buck, of Kentucky. Since

Mr.

Buck's return to this country the matter is made plain. We are informed that he says that up to the time of his departure from Lima, about the middle of last March, no reply had been made by the Peruvian office to his last communication, and our officials are of opinion that it is unanswerable. Mr. Buck, however, learned that the Peruvian government had been gathering data, or representations from its own officials at Araynipa, and that these had been forwarded for presentation through their own minister in Washington to our government. Evidently the foreign office has been placed, by the clear-headed management of the cases at Lima by Minister Buok, in such close quarters that it was driven to cover itself behind fire at "long range," believing our government would act with such method of delay and evasion in this matter as it had done in others.

Minister Buck says the case involves one of the greatest outrages that ever fell under his knowledge at Peru, and all that he could do to obtain redress he did, not only because of the grossness of the wrong against Mr. MacCord, but because he believed, as he now believee, due consideration for the honor and influence of the United States government in Peru demanded that reparation should be not only demprfded but obtained.

The memorial of Mr. MacCord filed in the state department, in the summer of 1888, arid forwarded to Mr. Buck as the baBis of his diplomatic action, demanded reparation and indemnity in the sum of $200,000—which would seem a reasonable demand, considering the destruction of his business, five years' salary amounting to $50,000—coupled, with $10,000 paid as a ransom, and the barbarity and indignities to which his manhood was subjected.

The poverty of Peru can not be pleaded in extenuation for her cri*ne, while ignorance in a proper case might be. It is high time this matter be adjusted without further humiliation to Mr. MacCord, who is an honor to his government at home or abroad, in Peru or elsewhere, and Secretary Blaine can be depended upon for proper and prompt action.

The New British Minister's Wife.'

Lady Pauncefote is a few years younger than her husband. She is not a leader of fashion, but is in the "best set" and a thoroughly representative English lady. She is known in connection with charitable organization but much of her work in this direction is done in euch an unostentatious manner as almost to escape public notice. She is a charming hostess, who talks well and whose views have been broadened by continental residence. Her drawingroom has attracted most of the distinguished foreign diplomatists, and small but brilliant parties of European celebrities have assembled in Cromwell place. Of Lady Pauncefote's four daughters only one is yet "out the others have not completed their education. The second is 16 years of age the third 14, and the youngest 12. They will all go to Washington when their father finally takes up his residence there but it is not expected that arrangements for removal will be ripe till autumn.—[Springfield Republican. t'W- A Test For Diamonds. "It doesn't require an expert, saio Dr. De Menil, "to tell whether a diamon is genuine or not. The test is very simple, and can be made in any place, and in a moment. AH you need is apiece of paper and a lead pencil. With the latter make a small dot on tbe paper, then look at it through the diamond. If you can see but one dot you can depend upon it that the stone is genuine, but if the mark is scattered, or shows more than one, you will be perfectly safe in refusing to pay ten cents for a stone that may be offered you at $500."—[St. Louis Globe Democrat. ....

POLITICS AND POLIUCIANS. The Marion Republicans have nominated A. E. Steele for mayor.

Everything is favorable to the return to the senate of Mr. Chandler. The New Hampshire legislature will meet in about six weeks.

Judge J. R. Williams, of Carmi, 111., has been nominated as the Democratic candidate for congress, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the Hon. Dick Townshend, of Shawneetown. The Hon. Thos. S. Ridgway is generally spoken of as the Republican candidate.

The Illinois Democratic state central committee met at Springfield Wednesday and discussed the question of locating the headquarters, which was left to a committee to be appointed by the chairman. John C. Campbell waa reelected chairman George Haines, secretary, and W. B. Brinton, treasurer. Resolutions of respect to the memory of the Hon. W. H. Barnum were unanimously adopted.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

Tbe Programme of the Exercise* Arranged for To day.

The Vigo county Sunday school convention commences this morning at 9:30 o'clock'at the Central Preabyterian Church with a devotional service, led by Mrs. J. M. Watson. Mrs. Watson is quite noted as a successful evangelist, and will doubtless make this an interesting feature of the convention. The first address will be upon "Teacher Training," by the Rev. J. B. Connett. At the request of a number of the city teachers a change is made in the afternoon program m'. Mrs. Ijmrmer's paper on "Primary Class Teaching" will be at 2:30 instead of 4 o'clock, and Prof. Sandison's address on "The Teacher Preparing the lesson" will be at 4:15 instead of 2:30, aa arranged in the printed programme. The evening session will be a temperance jnass meeting, to be addressed by the Rev. L. Kirtly, Professor C. A. Waldo and the Rev. H. Hollingaworth. The Centenary quartette, composed of Mr. and Mrs. Dsn Davis, Miss Ida Eoeey and Mr. A. G. Adams, with Mrs. Adama as organist, will enliven the occasion with exoellent music. The public is oordially invited to all sessions of the convention.

Kalned by Connecticut Lobbyist.

A gentleman who represents a town in tbe legislature has been until about two years ago a habitual .user of intoxicating liquors to excess. After long and earnest work he was induced by his friends to take the total abstinence pledge. This pledge he faithfully kept until a well known lobbyist, who was working in behalf of one of the railroad projects now in the house, got him off, and, knowing his weakness, filled him up with liquor and then secured his pledge to aid Mr. Lobbyist's road. But the rural member did not stop here. He continued to drink and drink until nearly all of bis moral courage to withstand the damning thirst for rum had departed from him. The work of years which his friends did in reforming him was undone in one moment by tbe lobbyist who caused his downfall.—[Middletown Herald.

Growth of BuildlBK Associations.

There are in this country about four thousand building or savings and loan associations with annual duea of $65,000,000 and accumulated savings aggregating $300,000,000. Chicago and the state of Illinois have a fair Bhare of these institutions, the fruits of which are seen in the thousands of homes in the cities and villages near the large towns. The first building association in this country was organized near Philadelphia fifty-eight years ago, but most of them have started since the war.

How Optnm is Secured.

Opium is gotten by cutting the capsule of the poppy flower with a notched iron instrument at sunrise, and by the next morning a drop or so of juice has oozed out. This is scraped off and saved by the grower, and after he has a vessel full of it it is strained and dried. It takes a great many poppies to make a pound of opium, aqd it goes through a number of processes before it is ready for the market. In a liquid state it looks like a dark strawberry jam. ,•
