The announcement that Dr. Mendenhall has accepted a government position and will resign as president of the Rose Polytechnic Institute, will be a rude shock to our people, who have come to recognize his worth as the head of this institution in which Terre Haute takes great pride. It seems that between death and the government, to which all must yield, the institution is made to suffer in the early years of its usefulness.

The following from the Associated Press report of the selection of President Mendenhall must be a mistake:

His residence at Terre Haute, Instead of being In his favor, was really, Mr. Wlndom said, an objection In the mind of the president

There is no possible reason for the objection, except that Terre Haute is in Indiana, the president's state. So far as Terre Haute or this congressional district is concerned there can be no objection on the ground of receiving more than its quota of federal plums. Quite the contrary is the fact.

Mr. Pony Moore, who came all the way from England to see Kilrain successfully play the tricks of Mitchell, his son-in-law, says the English people will be disappointed by the result of the prize fight. Mr. Pony Moore would do well to abide with us, throw away his Artful Dodger cap, go to work on a farm, till the soil, and, if he is not proof against the acquisition of common sense, learn that honest toil is the best pursuit in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Anyhow, who cares if the English people are disappointed

The gentlemanly Mr. Kilrain seems to have played it low down on his friends and backers, permitting them to lose their money by backing a sick man. The truth is that the Kilrain crowd was the crowd of bunco steerers, confidence men and Fakirs, and Buch fellows generally ape the manners and dress of gentlemen, and this is what led tlie New Orleans aristocrats to take him up as their protege. But according to the report this morning they have learned that "gentlemen" of the Kilrain stripe are not much better associates than the big, loud-mouthed coarse "brutes" of the Sullivan stripe.

THfi SUPREME COURT AND THE EXECUTIVE.

The recent silent refusal of the Supreme court in overruling the petition for a rehearing in the case of Governor Hovey vs. Riley was not the overruling of an ordinary case of one person against another, but it was the discourteous refusal of one department of the government to hear the earnest demand another, involving one of the most important questions that has ever been presented the court. If the majority of the court, after reading the very able petition filed by the attorney general, still adhered to original opinion, common courtesy north w^.'ir,8el, to the dissenting

bouse, must be sold, very cheap. •, p.** •v' ti,revi»4}U.,two story frame store roOr.v *.-ouey, to the lear^m^venth ^Twelfth views of Judges BerkshirS^WriPn^.^ and to the right of the executive department, should have compelled Chief Justice Elliott and Justices Mitchell and

Olds to have answered, if possible, the able positions contended for by the executive. This great question cannot rest and must be answered. The right of the general assembly to elect officers to fill the offices created by statute will never satisfy either political party, when it may fail to dominate. If the next general assembly should be Republican and attempt to elect statutory officers it would meet with solid opposition from the Democratic party. The question of an oligarchy is now before the people and will become an issue in the next political campaign. The position assumed by the majority of the court will, in this case, if continued, lead the parties hereafter to fight for all the statutory offices of the state. The ef feet of the opinion delivered in the case of Governor Hovey vs. Riley is to legalize the election by the general assembly of all the Democratic officers of the benevolent institutions and place under their disposal nearly one million dollars annually to be spent among the faithful. This amount is more than two-thirds of all the revenue of the state, after deducting the amount paid on the interest of the state debt The

Democrats now have the advantage of a most infamous gerrymander and the control of all the benevolent offices besides the expenditure of the greater portion of the Btate revenue. It is time for Republicans to know this fact

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

Hartford Post: The "lazy niggers" of the South will raise, pick, and bale 8,COO,000 bales of cotton this year. Such "shlftlessness" Is too much for those who want the negro to "know his place."

Chicago Tribune: Minister Phelps brought home with him from England 101 trunks, and William Walter Phelps brought back from the Berlin conference a little yellow bag that out weighed them all If weighed in the scales of statesmanship.

Washington Post- William Walter Phelps is the only one of our foreign ministers who won his spars In diplomacy before being appointed a minister. His elevation Is a proper sequel to his Samoan work, and his fitness for his new position will not lessen his Influence In discharging Its dules.

Cincinnati Enquirer: Fred Douglass Is appointed minister to Haytl. He Is an able man and an honest one but he Is foolish If he goes there. Being all black themselves over there, they pay no respect to a colored diplomat. Europe found that out long ago, and has been stealing all our Haitian trade from us except the yellow fever. That still comes to the United States.

Buffalo Express: If the thin-legged, flat-chested men who read of Sullivan's muscular development with hopeless envy would simply show enough "sand" to give themselves a rational physical training—which most of them might do without Interruption to their business—they wouldn't be half so apt to lose themselves in blind adoration of a man who puts his physical development to the worst possible use.

New York Mall and Express When that unnaturalized form of "sport," prize fighting, which has come to us from England, assumes the dimensions of a national nuisance, as It has all this week, It may be hoped that American Instincts and sentiments will be so outraged that the beginning may be made Of the end of the offensive brutalities that are dally brought Into the families of a large proportion of our people through the press reports of the minutest movements of the two prize animals, Sullivan and Klljaln..

Philadelphia Bulletin: These pugilists, Sullivan and Kilrain, are of the same breed as all the notorious prize fighters that have gone before them, the lowest order of ruffians. Nothing In their habits or In their practice of what they call the

'manly art" Is worthy of the attention of men who love athletic sport for the sake of the sport They are simply specimens of a class of huge, burly loafers whose Instincts, In the majority of cases, lead them Into the penitentiary. Their contest will have no other effect than that of degrading public morals. The argument that they promote the cause of physical development and popularize the habit of self-defense is not true. On the contrary, they hurt it. The useful, Invigorating, and heathful exercises which are to be found In boxing and sparring, and which every man ought to practice, would be far more popular than they are if It were not for a certain disrepute into which they have been brought by the Sullivans, the KUralns and the rest of their kind.

IT WAS A LIE.

John Devoy to John Boyle O'Reilly—Kev. Mr. Reeks a Brother of Dawson. To the Editor of tlw Herald:

I am sorry I cannot accept John Boyle O'Reilly's offer to satisfy me personally as to how he felt justified in printing that anonymous letter stating that Dr. Cronin had an English brother, a clergyman named Reeks, to whom he made several recent visits. If it were a mere personal matter, or a thing of small moment, I would gladly meet Mr. O'Reilly half way.

Cronin's murderers were incited to kill him by lying statements that he was a British spy, by men who were themselves the intimates of and the sponsors for the spy Le Caron. More cowardly even than the murder itself was the attempt to murder his character after death—an effort for which the same men are responsible. That statement in the Pilot that Cronin had an English brother and made frequent visits to England was a part of the same disgraceful work. I repeat that the publication of the name of the writer will reveal a person interested in screening the murderers and deceiving the public. Judge Boyle O'Reilley ought not to screen that writer from the public he ought not to have published the letter anonymously. I demand that the name be published, and I shall keep up the demand until

of Captain Dawson, recenii- not n~0 in reduced in lOgtoj®-*"1."murdered xer the murder Father Reeks wrote an article in the Month eulogizing Captain Dawson, admitting he was his brother, and explaining why he changed his name from Reeks to Dawson. Mr. Thomas B. Connery, formerly of the Herald, writes me that he knew Captain Dawson, and met his brother, the priest, who was a curate at St. George's cathedral, London, during one of his visits to the English capital. There is no lack of evidence to prove that Father Reeks is a brother to the late Captain Dawson.

Mr. O'Reilly has been grossly deceived, and he owes it to the public and to the Irish cause to publish the name of the person who used the authority of his name to circulate a vile slander on a murdered man. I demand not alone the name of the writer, but the particulars of those visits of Cronin to London.

The same vile system of slander which reeulted in Cronin's murder is being pursued in the case of other men. There is a conspiracy to murder which must be stamped out if the Irish cause is to live, and the flimsy pretext of "scandal to the cause" must not be allowed to stand in the way. The scandal we have already. It can only be wiped out on the gallows.

It is about time the lines were sharply drawn and Irishmen made to take their place on either side of it—with the thieves and murderers or against them There can be no middle course.

ABOUf TALL CHIMNEYS. "'•Why an factory and other chimneys to bear off smoke bom gnat furaaoM built tali?" asked one of a group of men standing by and observing the work progressing on the ohimney of the water works houee on Harrison street, between Desplainee and Halstead, Chicago. 'That'seasy enough to answer," replied a tall fellow from Bine island avenue, in the hearing of a Herald reporter, "it's to lift the amoke up above the houses and the streets, so's not to foul the air we take into our lungs." "That may be, so far as it relates to the ohimney, but not altogether either, for the higher it is the stronger the draft There's a chimney at Glasgow, the tallest in the world, feet high, belonging to a chemical works factory, where the elevation is required in order to keep from poisoning people with the gases constantly escaping. It is also of first importance where muoh quicksilver or arsenic enters into the fumes. If the chimneys were low in the former case all the people would be sali vated, and in the latter case arsenic-poi-soned, which is worse." "Then," said the reporter who was standing by, "tall chimneys are built for the double purpose of carrying smoke or other objectionable matter off above the houses, well as to afford plenty of drafts for the furnaces."

The knowing man assented, and in a few moments the man of the pencil said, meditatively: "It must take# decidedly level-headea fellow to do the work those fellows are doing up there."

By way of explanation it may be seated that the chimney under consideration is now about one hundred and thirty feet above ground, and has twenty more to be added to it. The men at its top laying brick looked liked dwarfs. "Your error is a common one," said the knowing man in reply to the reporter. "One reads ever and anon about the perils of lofty olimbs and how imperative it is that masons who build high walls shall know no such thing as dizziness, but possess nerves of steel. That is a delusion and a snare. A contractor or boss would scarcely send a man aloft who is subject to frequent attacks of epilepsy, but any ordinary fellow can begin work upon a wall, and as it ascends day by day grow accustomed to it, until a height of a thousand feet would be no more to him than an ordinary stone fence would be to you. I've no doubt the fellows on the tower of Babel walked around its upper wall as fearlessly on the day of confusion of tongues as they did when they laid its foundation stones. Men get used to anything. I've no doubt they would grow accustomed to dying in a very short time, if they could go through the experience every day. Ia any event, take a hundred brick or stone masons and ninety-nine of them can face any sort of altitude if it is necessary." "But one does take a tumble once in awhile." "Rarely," replied another of the party. "We have put up fifteen tall chimneys here in Chicago and around it, and we've had no accident of any kind. There are accidents when scaffolds are built too weak." "Chicago has no such tall chimneys as that mentioned at Glasgow or the one at Kearney, N. J., which is 335 feet high still it has one whioh, for beauty of design and the success of having placed upon its top a solid iron casting weighing 7,200 pounds, gives it a very enviable distinction, although it is a trifle under one hundred and sixty feet in height." This was said by the knowing one, who continued: "You ought to see it. It is at the Murphy varnish company's factory, corner of Twenty-second and Butterfield streets, and is without exception the moet handsome chimney in America, if not in the world. It is absolutely in plumb, and the diminishing of the diameter in two feet from the foundation to the top is as faultless as the work done by the skilled masons of Greece when they shaped the marvelous columns which adorned the Acropolis." "Have they done away with scaffoldings altogether in chimney building?" asked the reporter, who observed that the masons above him were working from within. 'As a rule, yes, when their is room enough, it being less expensive and less dangerous. You will observe that but two masons are at work there and one laborer, who attends to the mortar and bricks lifted up by the horse below. The Murphy varnish company's chimney had four masons and two assistants, but that had a diameter of eighteen feet at the base and sixteen feet just below the cornice at the top, whica. is nearly double the size of this one." "Which is the tallest chimney hereabouts?" somebody asked. "That of the glucose factory, which is 250 feet high. The building to which it is attached, by the way, has more bricks in it than any other structure in Chicago." "I suppose they would theig^ there were 100 men r£" i„ wouldn't the igcgylTdlpwly if uxTrtf ..mvB]le. upon them,

Arc light company's chimney, 126 feet high, was built in fourteen days, and it nas not suffered in the slightest in

consequence. Much more was said upon the subject in general before the party separated among other statements was the cheering one that if a workman did but make a single misstep in ascending or descending the primitive ladders from top to bottom, it would be necessary to gather up his remains at the bottom in a basket, and that the labor incident to the aacent inclined them to keep at their osts throughout the day, spending their our of "nooning" at the scene of their toil.

One will understand readily how difficult

the task of maintaining a perpen

dicular and at the same time reducing the diameter at the rate of one inch in eighty inches of ascent. The interior of some of them have in addition to the main flue from one to three, and sometimes evon four, additional ones of small©r size, all of which must b© constructed with circumspection and with an ay© to rigid rule of measurement. Thus it is that a tall chimney is not mere pile of masonry heaped up all in a hurry, one brick upon another, but a masterpiece of skill demanding infinitely more art than the rearing of the equilateral walls of ordinary residences. But for this altitude, how much grimier and dirtier and dark er and fouler the atmosphere of this great oity, which iB daily growing into greater importance as a manufacturing

A AKW BANK AT INDIANAPOLIS.

With a Capital of a Qaaxtor of a to be Orpiliwl.

Indianapolis is probably, to have anew bank. New life and new capital are interest in an enterprise that will eventually be of marked advantage to the city. A national bank with a capital of not less than two hundred and fifty thousand, and probably more than that amount, is the ideal of the projectors.

The project has not been matured, but it is in excellent bands, and the names of capitalists who will support it could be given if it were not that they object to the premature use of their names. Mr. A. Mason is attorney for s6me of the parties interested.

Is there room for another bank here is the question which the projectors have been considering. There are now four national banks, one state and one private bank in the city. The Indiana national and the Indianapolis national have each 8300,000 paid up capital stock —exclusive of the large surplus and undivided profits (amounting to $272,000 in the Indiana) which may be looked upon as capital. The Meridian national nas 1200,000, and the Merchants' $100,000 paid up stock, giving a total paid up national bank stock of $900,000. The Bank of Commerce (state) has $200,000, and Fletcher's (private) bank has a nominal capital of a million. The total stock is thus $2,100,000—not including surplus. Bankers say that money was never more plentiful in Indianapolis. "We take all the good paper that is offered," said one of them to-day. All the banks are prosperous.

But there is another consideration which doubtless influsnces the movers in this new enterprise. "It is true that there is an abundance of money at the banks," said one of them to-day, "but the most of it is deposits, and deposits is not capital. Bankers cannot loan safely more than Bixty per cent, of their deposits, and the Indianapolis bankers in order to make themselves doubly safe keep 50 per cent, of their deposits on hand, and some of them keep more. They are not by law permitted to loan to any one person more than ten per cent, of their capital. There are times when the demand for money here is great, and that season is now approaching. In the season when grain is moving there is demand for all the capital the banks have. At this time bankB frequently demand 8* per cent.

The bankers generally, notwithstanding a difference of opinion as to what field the new concern would occupy, prosees a willingness to welcome the newcomer. They say fresh capital brings new business, and that it will be a good thing for the city to have anew and rigorous banking house. Many other cities of the population and wealth of Indianapolis have a larger banking capital than this. The difficulty in the way of the new concern is the difficulty in securing government bonds, as required, for security to circulation. It may be necessary to await the action of congress, which it iB supposed will make some changes in the exisiting laws relating to this matter.

One Store Whack at Text Books.

The members of the state board of education who compose the text book commission are in the city, and they met this afternoon at 3 o'clock to give their opinions of the books and manuscripts submitted a week ago. Two or three of the members of the csmmission were asked what they thought of the proposed books, but none of them would venture an opinion in advance of the meeting. Some books will be adopted at this meeting, or else the law will be declared a failure.—[Indianapolis News.

THE ILLINOIS MINERS.

The Workmen at Streator Return to Work —To Arbitrate.

STKEATOR, 111., July 9.—Action was taken by the miners of Streator, yesterday, which will probably end the strike. The Coal Run company, which some time ago proposed the plan of profitsharing to its employee, has, sincc^be rejection of that Bcheme, sijnuffer willingness to arbitratejuued its meeting,,,^ SeptiBy^-VJU a mass a. Ma^ifl^yfeetePiMtVlEt was decided by an """aTmoet unanimous vote to approve of an arbitration between the Coal Run company and its employee. Streator is by an almost unanimous vote committed to an independent policy.

After announcing the vote, the president stated that in his opinion arbitration would settle the strike for all the miners of Streator, as well as for the Coal Run company.

The company employes only 200 men, but as the issuee involved are mainly the same as with other

mines,

the settlement

for one will be practically the settlement for all. The board of arbitration will be composed of three men, one to be chosen by the company, one by the miners and tuese two to chose the third. Their award must be made on or before August 7, and pending their decision the Coal Run company's miners will resume work at the old

prices. /vp

The Wreck at Wllmerdlng.

PITTSBURG, Pa., July 9.—The freight wreck at Wilmerding, on the Pennsylvania railway, which occurred last night, has not yet been cleared. Two bodies have been taken from the wreck, and it is thought six or eight more at least were killed. Trainmen estimate the list of dead and injured at fifteen. A tramp who escaped from the wreck, said there were twenty-five people at least on the train. Of these, bat ten or twelve escaped. The tram caught on fire from a car load of whisky which was wrecked, and which was ignited in some unknown manner. The accident was caused by a broken axle. Thirteen cars and the engine were totally wrecked.

Street Railways.

The first street railway was operated in 1832 from New York to Harlem. It did not appear in Boston until 1856. The first "horse-car" line was opened on the Baltimore & Ohio line prior to the introduction of the steam engine, but was not designated as a street railway. From a comparatively recent beginning a vast enterprise has sprung up to-day there are 25,000 cars in uss in the streets of cities in the United Statee, requiring the serviosa of 180,000 horses.

eallar Social Organisation.

NKW YORK, July 9.—The famous Oneida community, established in 1834 by John Humphreys Noyes at Oneida, N. Y., has been in litigation for some time, and a motion for its dissolution will be made by Colonel & Hail to-mor-row before Rsforee W. W. Waters, of Syracuse, N. Y. The motion has been brought by Charles A. Burt, one of the members of the community. In his complaint he sets forth that in 1884 the plan of the community waa changed, and that from an association, in whioh each member had an equal share and lived together under one roof, it has become, under the new management, a corporation in which membership is simply represented by a certain number of shares of stock.

This transformation, Mr. Burt argues, is contrary to the intention of the founder, John Humphrey Noyes, and, as a consequenoe of the departure from the old method of living, the stock has passed into the hands of a trust, and the interest of individual members hss been gobbled up by certain capitalists. He therefore asks for an accounting, a receivership and a dissolution of the corporation.

This singular community hss been in existence sinoe 1834. John Humphrey Noyes, the founder,-was ordained to the ministry after a collegiate oourse at Dartmouth in 1833. He founded a sect called the Perfectionists, and drew up the first plan of the society, which afterward became the Oneida community. He and his followers claimed to possess a peculiar phase of religious experience, having for its basis spiritual intercourse with God, which Noyes taught may proceed so far, even in this life, as to destroy selfishness and to make an end of sin. Two communities were founded— one at Oneida, N. Y., and the other at Wallingport, Conn. A Unitarian home was established at Oneida. The members engsged in agricultural pursuits, manufactures and practiceeof the fine arts.

In 1884 the community owned property to the value of over $50,000. The practice of free love has been abolished, and married couples form now apart of the society.

THE ACQUITTAL OF DFT. M'DOW.

A Rebuke From the Ministerial Union at Charleston.

NEW YORK, July 9.—A special from Charleston says: -The Charleston clergy were greatly stirred by the acquittal of Dr. McDow. At a meeting of the Ministerial union yesterday, the Rev. C. C. Pinckney, D. D., rector of Grace Episcopal Church, offered the following paper, which was adopted by the union:

In view of the recent occurrence in our midst, we, the Ministerial union, feel constrained to adopt the following resolutions: 1. Resolved, That we proclaim an abhorrence ot murder and all deeds of violence, which defile the land with blood, and violate the laws of God and man, and deprecate all demonstrations that Seem to sanction them. 2. Resolved, We will endeavor to stimulate the public conscience by setting forth the divine law against the reckless shedding of human blood and the curses that law entails upon the community which refuses to punish the crime. 3. Resolved, That we invoke the pulpit throughout the city and state to unite with us in putting down the deeds of violence, which have so often disgraced our land and exposed us to the just rebuke of those prho honor the commands: "Thou Shalt not Kill," and "Thou Shalt not Commit Adultery."
