LAST YEAR'S EXPENDITURES.

Too much mosey was expended last y«nr in these departments rpollee and tire J, more money than the Gazette hopes to see expended next year.—[Gazette#

I THE REPUBLICAN TICKET. The Republicans have nominated creditable city ticket—[Gazette.

I It looks as if Bismarck has been whis G' paring to Saulsbury in the Samoan affair.

Major Warner does not seem to have been relegated to the rear to any alarming extent, for he ha* a soft situation in congress.—riazette reference to the commander of the G. A. R. of the United States.

But he hasn't. He isn't a congressman.

The Indianapolis News made a clever hit when it headed the weather indications: "To Be or Not To Be." That is the question with everyone nowadays when they read the weather prognostications sent out by Greely's demoralized 'oljreau.

after all, the old time coach which ijpied a conspicuous place in the parWAWof New York never was Washing-a»--*"ton's vehicle! It seems that the fiction ol as to the ownership by the immortal 7 George was a companion effort of the cherry tree story. However, George did r' live and he was the father of his country.

Mr. D. 8. Alexander, whom the president has appointed as one of the United States district attornies for the state of New York, is a gentleman and a scholar, and a man in every respect fie for the .position. In Indiana he made many personal friends and enlisted the admiration of all who knew of him by his high character and ability.

Now that the Gazette has in its halfhearted way apologized for its misrepresentation of the Republican candidates for councilmen and Mr. Wesley Hauck the Republican candidate for treasurer it no doubt feels at liberty to again indulge in these practices, calculating that :by its usual delay in making reparation it will not have to apologize until after the election.

r* The only thing the Gazette has said against the Republican candidates for councilman id that they have placed ^property in their wives names. It is not even hinted that this was done to de.fraud creditors. By industry and pruident management these gentlemen acquired property which with equal prudence they gave to their wives. The more this is brought to ihe "attention of the people the better it is for the candidate, but TIM EXPRESS wants to call attention to the fact that none of them in

Just $117,000 annually. This Is one or several dozen reasons for saying the last legislature, with Its Democratic majority, was the best the state ever had.--[ Gazette.

It is a good measure and the fact that it was prepared by Senator Kennedy of Rush county, a Republican, is not calculated to detraot from its merits. Nor does the faot that Republicans alone $iiiwere the members of the legislature who J| pushed the measure through, until it bete&ar came a law in spite of the excited efforts of Democrats to pass the bills to give

Democrats all the salaries allowed for tn atastate officers.

The new club house of the "Southern society" was opened In New York last night with great eclat. And yet It Is ftom the South that come the continued protests against sectionalism.—[Indlunnpolls News.

else it is an effort to stir up strife by "appealing to sectional issues." We are willing to wager a big apple that late in the proceedings of the banquet on the occasion of opening this new home or the "Southern society" there was much of the old-time talk about the heritage of the South in the control of the national government

It Is claimed by the friends of Wesley Hauck that he has not changed his name but that the spelling Haug In his father's deeds, etc., in the public records was the error of the officials. He Is entitled to this explanation. The official to whom the error Is charged Is dead.—[Gazette.

It was three days ago that the Gazette furnished its readers with a sensational article intending to show that Mr. Hauck had changed his name.

The delay in making the correction is characteristic of our contemporary. But, the Gazette knew two days ago what the explanation was, that it was owing to the error of a Democratic recorder. Why, then, if Mr. Hauck "is entitled to this explanation" did he not sooner receive the explanation from this newspaper that made the silly charge against him.

Secretary Johnston, of the newly created state board of charities, has visited the poor farm of Carroll county and makes report that the insane inmates— not patients, because there is no thought of treatment for their disease—are hud died in filthy pens and kept in such man ner that "if they were not insane their surroundings would certainly make them so." Secretary Johnston has discovered nothing new. Moreover, the Carroll county

Btory

could have been

duplicated from a half-hundred counties in Indiana any time during the past generation. The whole truth is that Indiana has not had sufficient hospital ro?m for the insane of the state, and county poor farms have been overflowed with the miserable creatures. The new hospitals were intended to relieve this condition of things and provide accommodations for the insane of the state, who outnumbered those in the one hos pital at Indianapolis.

The aqueduct job at Washington was one of the most disgraceful instances of robbery and criminality that ever crept into governmental affairs. Major .Ly decker, the government engineer in charge, may have been an honest man through it all, but he spent too much time in club houses while the contractors were practicing their barefaced frauds. A court martial has dealt all too leniently with him and President Harrison has very properly rebuked the court And this suggests the suggestion that it would not be a bad plan to follow the policy of President Hayes who, finding a little court of military aristocracy at Washington, sent thfe "detailed" dandies to the border and brought in some of the lees favored officers, those whose wives were not daughters of political influence. Club life and court martialB conducted by courts composed of club companions are not the best means of preserving the discipline and integrity of

The Evansville Courier is eminently correct when it says that "any one of a half-dozen western cities that might be named, would have carried the thing [the centennial celebration] through in far better style and with more credit in every way." The Courier especially refers to Chicago as a city that would have conducted the celebration in a better way. The truth is that big as New York is the controlling spirits there are very narrow men. They proceeded with the management of the celebration on the idea that it was to be surpass ingly elegant, that wine was to be substituted for water, and with but vague impression of -*^the true meaning of the event. The reports in the local newspapers were more or less written with the same idea, that the celebration was being provided by New York where is confined ail the enlightenment and refinement of the century, and the condescending mention and humorous references to the visitors as so many bucolic simpletons were all in the veiB which indicated utter lack of the perspective views of the event.

Deechamps, on the 30th of last January outraged the ohild, killed her by administering chloroform, and then attempted to take hie own life in the same' way, but failed.

THE WORLD OF TRADE AND LABOR.

NEW YORK, May 3.—R. G. Dan A Co.'e weekly review eays: The unprecedented interruption of business by centennial preparations and celebrations has made the week nearly a blank in commercial or financial respect*. At New York accumulated orders gave a surface appearance of greater activity on Thursday and Friday, but it is yet too soon to judge which way the tide will turn and the reports from other cities, though nearly all hopeful in turn, do not indicate the expected improvement. The situation seems, better at Milwaukee, satisfactory at Omaha, good at Cleveland as to most branclQs, but questionable as to iron, rather dull at Kansas City and St. Paul, and lees eucou raging at the chief centers of the grain, iron, coal and leather trades. Collections are "far from satisfactory" at Milwaukee, and not improved at Detroit, but in other lines there, and at other cities, generally, they seem fairly satisfactory, and at

New York some dry goods dealers complain that collections are "too good"— buyers keep so far within means. Reports about the wool trade are contradictory. A report that the treasury may not decide the woolen wonted question for months disturbs importers, who have quantitise of goods locked up because collectors wait for a decision. Otherwise the woolen trade shows a little better movement. Silks are quiet, but linens are quite active. A fair business in boots and shoes continues. The paper trade is active. The slow- improvement continuee in drugs and chemicals. Recent signs of improvement in iron and steel have not been sustained. Here and at Boston Southern No. 1 pig iron has been offered at $16, and though by new companies to introduce their products, the effect on prices of other iron is felt. At Philadelphia, though sales are "hard to make," it is said that there is a very remarkable feeling of confidence, but at Pittsburg prices are lower, sales of manufactured iron more difficult, and a large sale of steel rails at $26 is reported here to hav6 been made by a Pittsburg mill. At Philadelphia, structural plate, sheet and boiler iron are in good demand also at Cleveland and here. Coal ia dull the reported increase in stocks for Maroh is 60,000 tons, and a strike at Pittsburg is expected. Copper still waits. Tin is lower abroad, and $20.40 for prompt delivery here, and lead is very much demoralized. Wheat goes lower yet, having sold at g2H cents, corn has declined cents, and oats 1 cent since last week. Pork is unchanged, with lard and hogs a shade higher coffee and sugar are unchanged, but oil an eighth higher. In general the course of prices still tends downward, but many products of large importance are now so low that not much further decline

The International union of brick-layers and masons comprises 176 unions. They have expended in the aggregate $200,000 for strikes and $350,000 for benefits.

The Marble, Slate workers' and Tilelayers' union, of Pittsburg, have secured a reduction in hours to nine five days in the week, with eight on Saturday. For this they receive ten hours' pay.

The feeling against the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers that for years has existed among nearly all branches of organized labor, has been increased by the action of Chief Arthur in having the Engineers' Journal printed in a nonunion office.

Kansas City has a labor exchange where employment is found for workingmen who are unable by their individual efforts to secure work. The city authoritiee also intend to establish night schools and furnish educational facilities for the impoverished.

At a meeting of the striking St. Paul street car drivers the strike was declared off add the men will go back to work at the reduced wages. The company made the concession of agreeing to treat well the men regardless of their affiliations with labor unions.

Stocks have been neglected and dull, but a little stronger in price with a disposition to believe that the next considerable movement must be upward. The future of the market probably depends much upon the movements of money and the feeling of foreign investors, and for the moment both favor holders, but bankers look upon a considerable outgo of specie as not improbable, and the policy of Secretary Windom, as far as it has been made known, does not seem likely to cause large disbursements before July. The one favorable feature is that merchandise exports are still large. The treasury has taken in during the week $1,800,000 more than it has paid out. The business failures number 214 for the week and 213 for last week, and 246,the week previous. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 234.

The Indianapolia News of last evening thus treats of Miss Davenport's appearance in that city in "LaToeca," in which she will appear here this evening before a large audience, judging from the advance sale:

The oonsumate art of "La Toeca"—^depraved art as it is—lies in the bread lines of its structure, which mark the striking contrast between the first two sots and the last three. They lead through a church to a slaughter house. The grand interior of St. Andrea at Rome, very well done, with its objects of religion suggests an atmosphere of holinees with its objects of art, anggeata religion's hand-maid, culture. The action .which shows the passing people, worshiping at the shrines and the artist-lover of the plot worshiping, as it were, at his shrine in the devotion of bis art, makes a picture of peace, redolent of the pure and good. The action sanctifies it by the loyalty of friendship, as realized in the artist's attachment to his friend, escaped from prison and warms it by the love that unites him and Floria Tosca but it is an earthly love and foreshadows inevitably the black despair of tragedy, in the morning of its brightsst life. This love phase of La Toeca's character fits admirably Minn Davenport's nature. Because of this, as great an excellence as any of her personation, lies in this ingenuous impression of undisciplined or untamed womanhood of impulse and childhood of thought which, with finished art, she she shows "La Tosca" to be.

With this fair entrance, the play invites you swiftly to foulness. Fine though the art of this master play wiight is, it seems to be an example of that decay of the French mind which contempoary judgment thinks it seee, beginning with Victor Hugo's straining after effects. With all of Sardou's unrivalled wealth of resource he finds it necessary here to invoke the shrieks of a man under torture to display his broken and blood-bedaubed person to picture the basest of sexual passion in aBcene that is meant to exemplify its most violent expression, and this, too, between the courses of a dinner! The act of eating on the stage is never nice, but there the arch villian seasons his repast with gratification of grosser appetites sips lust with his wine gloats over flesh and food alternately. And then—in keepingmurder "hews him as a carcass fit for hounds," while his broken faith lives to perpetrate another murder and cause a suicide—as La Tosca's death is. Coleridge said that terror, which is the legitimate effect of tragedy appealed to the heart, but that horror descended and touched the stomach. The play is peopled extensively, but there are only three essentially acting characters in it, Mario, Soarpia and Tosca, and of these Mario is more a foil than an exposition, the picture being painted by Soarpia and Tosca. Mr. MicDowell and Miss Davenport did it well albeit it will be plain that it ought not to be difficult to do. The force of the scenes and situations would carry it, with indifferent acting. The art demanded is strong rather than fine. Its besetting danger is the temptation to melodrama, and of this the portrayal was free. Mr. MacDowell as Scarpia looked the part,* and barring an occasional lapse infs staginese, and a pervading self-con-sciousness. carried the personation with justnees and with a firm grasp. He has a manly presence, natural grace, a fine voice and manifest comprehension of the means of effect. MiBS Davenport made the transition from the ingenuous and volatile expression of La Tosca to its badgered, baffled and destructive desperation, with fine grace and force, and she held the latter manifestation within its true bounds—revenge, not martyrdom. She worked in purely 'tragic effects throughout seeking nothing of meretricious melodrama, and rounded out the personation with a manifest control "in the very whirlwind of passion, using all smoothly"—with one exception, perhaps: After the murder of Scarpia, and despite her effective "business," subsidence of passion was too sudden. The hights which murder wrought were too suddenly abandoned. A great passion, like a great torrent, does not expend itself at once, but sinks slowly, and through many channels. Greater perturbation after committing the murder on to the point where the frozen calmness of horror sets in, would make a juster portrayal of this scene. The audience was a very large one and seemed to be as thoroughly ploughed and harrowed as playwright or actors could wish.
