THE EXPRESS would submit a question to the Main street sewer advocate^: Do they prefer an overflow of dishonored city warrants to an overflow of water?

When you hear anyone saying that he hopes the city will be mulcted for damages because of bad sewerage, suggest to him that he may wisely devote some of his indignation toward retrenchment in city expenses and a saloon license by means of which the city's treasury would be relieved to the extent of $50,000 a year.

The report from New York is that Grover is going to Ohio to annihilate Foraker for whom he holds a special grudge. Even when president, with all the power and influence of his official position, Grover undertook to humiliate Foraker in his own state and he failed ignominiously. As a sincere admirer of Foraker we hope Grover will make a trip to Ohio before the day of election.

There is a special dispatch In another column of this pai»er regarding the Indiana coal strike that Is Important. It states that the cry about starvation among the strikers, first started by politicians, is echoed by competitors of Indiana mine-owners. Continuance of the strike enables these competitors to secure the the trade of the Indiana operators and the longer the strike lasts the more seriously It Impairs the chances of the miners getting employment when they see lit to go to work. There Is great public sympathy for the Idle men and their suffering families, but this sympathy Is In no manner Increased by information that the strike Is encouraged by outsiders through mercenary motives.— [Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

Suppose the miners gain the day and then discover that while the men interested in the Ohio mining interests and the Indiana free trade agitators were leading them on in this contest the contracts for coal had been made elsewhere nnd that though the miners here get the old price there is not work enough for all and that in the distribution of the work at the high rate of wages less than $5 a week can be made? Last year it was bad enough—not the rate of wages because the rate was all the men asked but the amount of work—yet this yenr has a more distressing outlook. In the course of time the men will see, as they are now beginning to see, that the politicians are using them most grievously. -K

Mrs. Gratchopes—Oh, Henry, here Is a story in the paper that Dr. Brown-Sequard has really discovered the elixir of life. I wonder if it Is true?

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer-Sun: We want more cotton lactorles. ilttsbnrgChronicle-Telegraph: The Louisiana militia got some exercise, anyhow.

Wheeling Intelligencer: Maybe a mill could be arranged between David B. Hill and Grover Cleveland for the championship of the Democratic party.

Indianapolis Journal: The advantages of physical culture furnish no apology for prize lighting. A man can take wire of his health and develop his physical powers to the utmost limit without prostituting them to a use that shames the brutes.

Pittsburg Dispatch: Calvin S. Brice confesses that lie Is a candidate for senator from Ohio. The pot of gold at the end of that rainbow is located at the hither end, and Calvin will have to distribute it before bis candidacy exist outside of his own Imagination.

St. Louis Globe Democrat: The decision of Judges Horton, Tuley, and Collins In Chicago, In the action between the board of trade In that city and the bucket shops, Is In harmony with common sense, as well as with previous ruling of courts on the questions Involved.

Rochester Democrat: The light took place and ballot-box outrages continue. Both have been forbidden paper, and the Intention to Interfere has been shown to be about as serious In one case as the other. There Is such a thing as making lirtinbuggery so transparent that a blind man can aee through it.

New York Mall and Express: Isn't It time for the Christian manhood of this country to assert Itself, to 8top prize lighting, to Jail and put to hard labor the brutes who defy existing laws against prize fighting, and to cleanse the new»papers lroin the foul reports ot all the details of law-breaking brutality.

DAY DREAMS.

Here at least is a haven of refuge where a man may wander st will without fear of interruption, and with no other critic than himself to deal gently with the flights of fancy in which he may dulge at pleasure, says a writer in Chambers'. Indeed, there is no limit but his own imagination to check the magnitude of his thoughts and the execution of his vast designs. Doee he wish to assume regal honor? In a moment he is clothed with imperial purple, and surrounded by the wisest men of the age, who gratefully pay tribute to his greatness and munificence. Statesman involuntarily consent to be guided by his intellect, and express no sense of wounded pride in that they are the learners and he the dictator of wisdom. A court tilled with learning and wit obeys his slightest behest while women of peerless beauty and virtue minister to his wants with a grace that Diana herself might envy, and which the less favored of mankind sigh in vain to obtain. Untold wealth surrounds him with a luster that only serves as aj foil to the magnificent scene while jewels of a king's ransom lend their beauty to decorate the path of the all-good and great king, whose greatest happiness lies in the content of his people and the prosperity his country.

Wearied of such splendid inaction, the scepter of the throne is immediately changed for the baton of a general, who commands armies which carry all before them, and whose strongest passion ie love for their commander. Campaigns more brilliant than those of Conde, Wellington,

Jor

Napoleon are commenced

and concluded in a breath, and fresh laurels added to his brow, already adorned with innumerable trophies of war. Captives bow down before him in thousands, and the haughty op pressor bends the neck that has hitherto been held in proud disdain against the world, till subdued and conquered by superior strength and sagacity. Besieged towns hold out their arms at his approach and the thunder of his cannon strikes terror into the heart of the tyrannical autocrat, while giving assurance of his protection to the weak and oppressed. In less time than the words are written, triumphal arches rise from the ground, and, surrounded by his victorious troops, he passes through the midst of the grateful thousands who assemble to do him honor, and who, breathing blessings on every side, add their presence to a scene which causes the triumphs of the Roman generals to fade into insignificance by comparison

Again the scene is changed, and he is1 the greatest philanthropist that the world has ever seen. Prison doors open at his approach, and the wretched inmates fall down in gratitude at the feet of their deliverer, who has inaugurated the reign of mercy and kindness in the place of harsh severity and labor. Out of the midst of poverty and wretchedness arises, like magic, a scene of cleanliness and beauty and where hitherto have been but squalid misery and vice, in a moment iB now a scene peopled with the happy spirits of content and virtue. Well-built and prettily designed cottages supply the place of the feverstricken dens that in the immediate past were the homes of thousands who can afford no other. In the front of each is a garden, filled with old-fash-ioned flowers, that put to shame those of many a mansion while all around, and in the close proximity of friendly relationship, fruit and vegetables fill up the picture of Arcadian beauty wnich surrounds those who are unconsciously educated and refined by that which their own industry and care serve to maintain. Sallow cheeks, stooping shoulders and stunted growths are replaced by ruddy faces and stalwart frames while scowls give place to smiles of self-respect, now one of the chief movers in the regenerating influence which, from being but individual, has at once become universal. Hospitals are endowed with a munificence that forever frees them from fear of debt, and allows their noble work to be pursued in a manner which science can not improve upon, and which humanity regards with an admiration akin to reverence. The inmates of the crowded cities grow young once more' in the enjoyment of fresh air and green fields while the children regain the roses of health and happiness amongst the sweet-smelling hay and flowers which grows around them. Factories and workshops are compelled to provide for the comfort and health of those who work within their walls, and to close at a reasonable hour under heavy penal laws, which protect the interest of the weak while dealing fairly with the employer and the disgraceful practice of shutting up young children in close rooms where the seeds of disease and early death were formerly sown broadcast, is now happily looked upon as a barbarity of a former age, which foolishly sacrificed the strength of future generations to a misplaced and selfish greed of gain to self.

These are only a few of the delights which the creative genius of fancy calls to life and action, and in a few moments places the dreamer in the center of a panorama which is called iato existence solely for his pleasure, and of which he is at once the artist and admirer. Lying carelessly back in the well-worn arm chair in an attitude in which comfort defies appearancee, the dreamer can summon at will pictures of the brightest and most variable hue, changing from grave to gay at his pleasure in one moment filled with the quaintest humor while in the next, by an easy and natural transmission, surrounded by a pathos which bringB tears into the the eyes in unconscious acknowledgement of the truth of the picture. And for all this there is neet^d only the hour of twilight and quietness to call to life more joys than an emperor can purchase with gold, and more delights than are pictured in the fairy tales of youth and childhood.

Down With a Crash.

St. Lot:is, July 11.—About eight o'clock this morning an shaped space of about 10x40 area in the old custom houBe building, on the southeastern corner of Third and Olive streets, fell with a great crash, carrying down the parts of the third, second and first floors. The building has been in process of remodeling for some time

and quite

Western Oat Nail Association. WHEELING, W. Va., July 11.—At a

meeting of the Western Cut Nail association in this city, a new gauge was adopted by which the number of nails to the pound will be practically the same as the wire nail. This increase, together with the lower price at which cut nails are furnished, is expected to aid materially in stimulating the demand

for cat nails. Anew schedule of prioea for the various aissea was discussed prior to adjournment, bat was referred to a special meeting to be held on the 24th inst.

SCHOOL BOOKS FOE ONI CINT

And np to Five In Addition to' Old Books Given In Kxchiap.

The members of the executive committee of the text book commission are meeting with the successful bidders today for the purpose of agreeing upon a form of contract to be entered into, says the News of last evening. The contract with both the Indiana school book company and the Bowen-Merrill company will be signed this evening, and the last named will perhaps have its bond ready for acceptance. As the members of the Indiana company are scattered it will be several days Wore the company's bond will be ready for approval.

As soon as the bonds of both companies have been approved Governor Hovey will issue a proclamation announcing that contracts for books have been made. Within thirty days after the issuing of the proclamation it will be the duty of the township trustees to notify the superintendents of their respective counties of the number of text books required by children for use in the sohools of their several school corporations. The superintendents will then order of the state superintendent, who in turn will order from the contractors. The lastnamed have ninety days in which to ship the books after they have been ordered. Both firms of contractors say they will be ready to put as many books into the schools this fall as are ordered.

The people of the state will save a considerable sum of money through the acceptance of the bids. The new books will be furnished them at the following prices:

It will be seen »that the new books, where pupils have old ones to exchange, will cost from one to five cents in money additional.

A CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL*

ANew One to be Built in the North Part of Indianapolis.

The Catholic Church in Indianapolis ie having a remarkable season of prosperity, says the Indiritaapolis News. For some time past its churches, numerous as they are, have been incapable of seating the parishoners. This condition of affairs, it is said, will soon lead to the making of some extensive improvements, in fact a good deal of money ie now being invested in property and new buildings.

The bishop of. this diocese has for some time been dissatisfied with his present quarters on west Georgia street, and he is now looking about with the view of securing anew home.

He has under advisement, it is said, the purchase of an elegant piece of property on north Pennsylvania street, which, if secured, will be remodeled into a handsome church home. The contemplated purchase will provide not only a residence for the bishop, but a site for a magnificent cathedral. It is not unlikely that a structure of great architectural beauty will be erected in a very short time at a site not remote from the wealthiest Protestant churches.

The new cathedral is made necessary, from a church point of view, by the crowded condition of the congregations now provided for. St. Bridget's in the northwest and St. Joseph's on north Noble are often without a vacant pew for strangers. Anew north side church— in addition to smaller ones already projected—is a necessity, and the bisnop sees in this necessity an opportunity to build for the future and in a portion ot the city heretofore neglected by the Catholics.

Corner Stone of the Monument.

The soldiers' monument commissioners before adjourning last evening fixed upon August 22 as the day for the laying of the corner stone of the monument. Contractor Chadwick met with the board and announced that the laying of the stone would begin early next week. He agrees to have seventy feet of the monument completed by November 1.

Many of the modern belles, after getting themselves shaped up by the corset, the servant pulling at one end of the string and she at the other, looks just like a wasp and she'll sting you like a wasp, too. You have got mothers in this town who will rig up their daughters ynd send them to an entertainment while this meeting is in progress. God be merciful to such. The devil don't want a better thing than to have aside entertainment started to preaching. The best we can do iB to do right. As long as I feed my children I am going to boss them. When they get above this they must move their boarding house. I won't feed such a gang. That is right, brothers why don't you preachers say amen? (The preachers responded with a hearty amen).—[Sam Jones in New Orleans.

Smoked Hams.

Chicago, July 11.—A fire in the top story of the Anglo-American provision company's warehouse at an early hour this morning caused the loss of about forty thousand dollaro to the firm. The upper stories are used solely for storing prepared hams and lard. The flames were almost inaccessible to the firemen, and before they could be extinguished it was found necessary to flood the entire floor of the building.

The smoke from the "green" hams stored in the room where the flames started was remarkably dense and stifling, and half of the firemen were almost suffocated by jjL Six were overcome.by the smoke, and it is not improbable that two of them will die.

MINUS WAfin ANBTH*TAUTF.

The Latter Dow Not

TTGMN

In tfce P*es-

Certain Democratic free trade organs an making a reckless, demagogic attempt to charge the impoverished condition of the ooal miners in northern Illinois to the Republican policy of protection, which in this instanoe is denounced, ss having failed to secure high at even decent wages, says the Chicago Tribune. Even the Springfield (Mass. Republican takes np this fallacious assumption and says:

It certain that the tarts on soft coal has not availed to save the "American rate of waxes," and Gen. Harrison's assurances that his election and the maintenance of the present tariff would relieve labor and philanthropy ot all need of effort in the matter of obtaining high wages, or •—fting those who have been unable to obtain living wages, have come to naught, statute law baa failed to override natural law. Wages under free trade in labor tend to seek a common level. We domesticate an Industry by means of the tariff, and foreign labor comes to supply It with more than enough workers, and the demand for domestic labor remains when It was, subject to an added burden of depressing taxation. This Is what a study of the markets lines March 4th Is proving, and If the president Is not wholly captivated by his old maxim about the "American rate of wages" be must have reached the same conclusion long since.

The Tribnne has shown heretofore that the deplorable state of affairs in the coal mines of northern Illinois is caused by circumstancss with which the tariff can have nothing to do. These mines compete with mines in Ohio and Pennsylvania where a better quality of coal is produced at lees expense, and also with the coal fields of southern Illinois. The Wabash railroad givss an exceptionally favorable rate to over eighty mines in southern Illinois and enables them to deliver their product in Chicago at rates which bear hard on the mines in the northern part of the state. The misfortune of the latter mines is that they produce comparatively inferior coal and have been expoeed to unusually severe competition. Will any one contend that the tariff should protect the mines of northern Illinois from those in the southern part of the state? Can any duty on ooal bar out the product of Ohio and Pennsylvania so as to secure miners high wages in Illinois? Or is the duty to be denounced because it failed to counteract the effect of unpreoedentedly mild weather last winter and a consequent lessened use of fuel and a glut in the coal market?

The Tribune is not to be understood as justifying the duty on ooal, but merely as showing that the reduction of wages in the coal industry in northern Illinois is not owing to the tariff in any respect. The free trade organs might expect to make some impression if they would argue that the duty on coai is excessive or misplaced, but they can not use the reduction of miners' wages in the minee of northern Illinois as a specific illustration showing the failure of the protective principle. They need to be reminded that many of the strongest and most radical protectionists in the United States have held that coal is a product which does not come properly within the protective principle. If coal were on the free list a limited co petition might come from the mines of Nova Scotia, but it would affect the market only in New England and the states on the Atlantic coast. Protection can not add one ton to the coal deposits of the United States, and they will be worked and the product put on the market whether there is a duty on foreign coal or not. For this reason Senator Morrill, the "Father of the War Tariff" and as uncompromising a protectionist ss can be found in the United States, said, in discussing this question in the senate, that "the friends of a protective tariff have clung to a duty on ooal with too great tenacity" and it was doubtful whether "coal is a proper subject for levying any duty at all." In 1871, when the house was Republican, it declared by a two-thirds majority for the immediate and absolute repeal of the duties on coal.

Let the free trade organs stop the demagogic attempt to show that the con dition of the coal mining industry in northern Illinois is owing to a failure of the protective principle and address themselves to the question whether coal is a product that can be included in any just system of protection.

AMERICAN BT NATURE

The New British Minister Full of the Spirit of the Country to which He was Sent, Special to the Commercial-Gazette.

WASHINGTON, July 10.—The British minister is attracting considerable at tention in Washington by hiB patronage of Bummer theatricals and his devotion to players. No minister sent to the United States by Great Britain has ever been BO untrammeled by the dignity and power of his place as Sir Julian Pauncefote. He is easy to approach, and has a friendly, cordial manner that is very inviting. He takes life easily, and seetnB to want everybody to do likewise.

He goes out into the park near the le gation building and laughs and chats with children who there congregate in the evening. He-saunters nonchalantly down the street or out the country roads anc lets diplomacy take a holiday whenever it wishes to do so. Nowhere does Sir Julian seem so perfectly at home as at the 25-cent summer opera. He is seen almost nightly in what iB uni versally known as the bald-head row, and when the curtain descends at the close of an act the envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary grasps his hat and makes a bee-line up the aisle with genuine American independence. The latest incident in Sir Julian's brief but eminently pleasant eojourn in Wash ington occurred last Monday morning. He was at a rehearsal of the Summer opera company, chatted with the prima donna, and had a pleasant word for the chofUB girls, and for a time created quite a flutter on the stage.

Puritanism in Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, July 11.—The mayor has directed the police to enforce the law against performing common labor on Sunday by arresting all grocers, tobao coniste, ice cream and soda stand pro prietore, barbers, etc.

The order doee not contemplate interference with street cars or newspaper work, as the mayor regards theee as a necessity. This action is taken at the request of an organization which is hostile to the movement and the closing of saloons on Sunday.

The Trap Worked Promptly.

A Howard street papa fixed a big parlor chair so that it would upset if a greater weight than 140 pounds was laced in it. The very next night he heard a great com ihotion on the premises, and proceeding to the parlor, discovered his daughter sprawling on the floor with her shoulder dislocated, and a sleek grooery clerk with his nose skinned, endeavoring to assist her to her feet.— 'Virginia Chronicle.

Wnaeeountable Actions of the Murderer of Captain Dawapn NEW YORK, July 11.—A special from Charleston, S. C., says: Since the ran dering of the verdict of not guilty in the oaae against Dr. McDow for the murder of Captain Dawson there has been but one topic of conversation in Charlsston. Many of the beet citizens felt outraged at what they considered a miscarriage of justice, and freely so expressed themselves.

There was another class, though, who sympathized with McDow, and who turned his escape from the gallows into an exouse for tendering him an ovation. Some people who had a loathing for the man wanted the matter dropped and to leave McDow permitted to go about as if he had not killed Captain Dawson. This course would very probably have been pursued if McDow had acted as if he were a man possessed of ordinary good sense. He seems, however, to have lost oontrol of himself and to imagine that he is a privileged character. Many conservative citizens who have refrained from expressing their opinion are novP outraged at hia conduct.

A high brick wall divides the back lawn ot Captain Dawson's residence from McDow'syard. The piazza of the seoond story of McDow's house overlooks Captain Dawson's lawn. Mrs. Dawson was walking on the grass of her lawn yes terday afternoon, when she heard whistling, clearing of the throat, and other noisss to attract her attention. She looked up and saw McDow standing on his piazza, doing everything he could to attract her notice. She at once went into her house and cloeed the door. Mc Dow had been sitting on the piazza of the first floor of his house with his wife and father-in-law. He left them and went up stairs, where they could not see him. He remained on the end of his upper piazza, after Mrs. Dawson had retired, still looking over into the Dawson yard.

He was soon rewarded by the appearance of Captain Dawaon's daughter a pretty girl of 14. He again began his whistling and ooughing. She saw who it was and ran into the house.

He then took a small atone and pitched it in the window of the French maid's room. She looked out to see what it was and saw McDow motioning and whistling at her. She drew her head in again very much frightened. His conduct was so outrageous that Mrs. Dawson had a policeman Bent to her residence to prevent further insults. It will be remembered that there was a small bruise on McDow's head the day that he killed Captain Dawson. The bruise has been explained. The morning of the killing while attending the sick child of a lady, he is said to have made improper proposals to her. She, so the story goes, secured her absent husband's pistol and was about to make

Epidemic of Dysentery.

A dispatch from Springfield, 111., sayB: The acting secretary of the state board of health was notified yesterday by A. J. Crews, of Pike county, that a disease resembling dysentery has been prevalent there for the last two weeks and has now become epidemic, especially fatal among children. Seven deaths are already reported and a number are in a dangerous condition. The board will make an investigation into the matter at once.

Omaha Newspapers Combine. MINNEAPOLIS, July 11.—The Journal's

The consideration is not stated. The proprietor of the Omaha Republic has been made an offer for his paper by Hitchcock, and the negotiations are still in progress.

This summer the flies are ns numerous ss ever.— [Georgetown Times.

Washington says: The state department will make no effort to induce the Persian minister to withdraw his resignation.

The officials at the department of Btate Bay that the minister has made no complaint to them, and that if he had the best they could do would be to write him a letter disavowing any sympathy or connection with the unpleasant newspaper criticisms of the shan.
