The administration of President Har rison is to be credited with another graceful act in the appointment of John Morton as shipping commissioner at San Francisco. Mr. Morton is a son of Oliver P. Morton and is besides a trained official in government duties at the port of San Francisco.

The weekly review of trade of Dun & Co. this morning is encouraging. Despite the fact that so much effect is sought for out of a few labor troubles by the opponents of our present industrial system, the truth is that it iB many years since that a showing equally as good as that of this year can be made.

In all the appointments made by the president thus far he has made scarcely a single mistake so far as public interests are concerned. In Indiana he has made none. His appointments are all good. They are only criticised, If at all, because they recognize some other element of the party than the one represented by the critic, or from the still narrower point of view that they recognize some other Individual than the critic himself. Indiana Republicans should take a higher view of politics than that. Having given the country a Republican president they should give his administration a hearty, enthusiastic, ungrudging support And when the time for action comes we have no doubt they will.—[Indianapolis Journal.

THE EXPRESS says a hearty amen to that. All the appointees are good men. Here and there some complaint may be made as to locality or influence, but the great desideratum—the choice of firstclass men has been secured, and even though they were all from Indianapolis THE EXPRESS yet would say amen.

A Bitter Disappointment.

"I shall never forget," said the colonel, "the Intense excitement that was created on board, the steamer In which I crossed the Atlantic some seven years ago, when a passenger who was leaning over the rail discovered a bottle—a black bottle— tloaUng alongside. They got out a boat, after several attempts had been made to lasso the thing, and It was brought aboard, Then we all crowded around to see It opened." "What was In it?" asked the other colonels, "Old rye?" "Jamaica?" "Gin?" "Nothing but a scrap of paper with some writing on it," said the first colonel.

KING AND POPE.

If it is true, aa announced from apparently authentic sources at Madrid, that the pope has telegraphed an inquiry whether or not he would be allowed an asylum in Spain should he be compelled to leave Italy, and that Premier Sagasta, after consultation with the queen regent and the ministry, has replied offering his holiness a residence at Valencia, then a long standing agitation seems about to reach a crisis.

The trouble between the sovereign pontiff and the Italian government is not new, says the Boston Advertiser. Its present phase dates back only to the first tangible success of the patriots who aspired to make Italy a nation, united and self-governing. But, in one form or another, the contest has been waged for hundreds of years. That is, "temporal power of the popes" is one of the most ancient of European questions. It has been more or less mixed up with half the wars fought in Europe for upwards of ten centures. In earlier ages the issue always was as to degree—whether the pontiff's dominions should be bounded thus or thus, whether he should or should not exert a particular amount of authority over and among different nations. But during the lifetime of men now living all that has changed. The question not many years ago came to be whether the pope should have any tem-

Eercepower

oral at all. At length, after a struggle and no little bloodshed, the irresistible logic of events decided in the negative.

The whole of Italy came under the rule, (nominally, of the king of Italy, really of the people, through their constitutionally chosen representatives. The city of Borne became the capital of the kingdom. It was obviously impossible that king and pope should both have temporal dominion over the same territory at the same time. But it was quite possible that one should rule over temporal and the other over spiritual concerns, and that the ancient imperial city should be at once the capital of the state and the capital of the church. That arrangement was proposed by the king and rejected by the pope. The Italian government has gone on, year after year, setting aside vast sums of money for the pope's maintenance, which sums the intended beneficiary has steadily declined to receive. Humbert says that Leo shall be protected and provided for while exercising all functions which pertain to headship over the Roman Catholic Church throughout the world, but that his holiness must not make or meddle with affairs of merely human and worldly government. Leo replies that no such distinction and separation are possible that he can not freely and adequately perform his duties as head of the Universal Church as long as he is in respect subject to a human monarch.

There iB no doubt that the relations between the king of Italy and the pope of Rome are now severely strained. Nevertheless, we are strongly of opinion that the latter will not go to Spain or any other countiy, but will continue to reside in the capital of Rome. Our reasons, expressed in the briefest possible form, are these: (1) The Italian people are faithful to the churoh, as well as loyal to the state, and they will persuasaively implore the pope to stay. (2) A vast majority of the college of cardinals is composed of Italians who can and will restrain the man of their choioe from abandoning a country which is his and theirs. (3) The poj is bishop of Rome. Historically, he derives his claim primate of Christendom from that fact. The doctrine of the church is that St. Peter was the first bishop of Rome and, ipse facto, the first pope. A pope who did not reside at Rome would shock the sensibilities and tend to shake the faith of the faithful. (4) The pope has, in fact, exercised his spiritual functions since losing his temporal power, and he can still do so. (5) The experiment of removing the papal residence from Rome has been tried with results that bring a shudder when recalled to the mind of every devout and educated Roman Catholic. "The Babylonian captivity" is what historians of the church style the residence of the popes, during the larger part of the fourteenth century, at Avignon, in France.

A. O. U. W. TROUBLE.

Its Threatened Disruption by the Action of the Ohio Grand Lodge. Special Dispatch to the

Grlobe-Bemocrat

Cincinnati.Julv11.—There is trouble in the Ancient Order of United Workmen in Ohio that threatens to disrupt it, not only in Ohio, but throughout the United States. Indeed, some of its members go so far as to say that it will, destroy confidence in all similar beneficiary organizations in the United States if the action of the.grand lodge of Ohio, as directed by the supreme lodge of the order, is persisted in. "The proposition," said John D. Rozall, "is to repudiate, so far as Hamilton county is concerned, and tax all of its lodges, which'include one-third of all the membership of the state, out of existence. If such a thing is legally pesBible, then those who join such orders have no security and can have no confidence in them in the future. Hie Ancient Order of United Workmen is the oldest order of the kind, and after its organization at Philadelphia, it first rooted in Cincinnati, where the membership is oldest, and its growth latterly has not been rapid enough to keep down the proportional death rate. The maximum assessment, however, is established for the whole state by the supreme lodge, and that was thirty-seven $1 assessments on a 12,000 benefit. A conspiracy, however, among the lodges outside of Hamilton county, at the last meeting of the supreme lodge, succeeded in having a special assessment made, based upon death rates, which fixes the maximum rate of Hamilton county at fifty-five assessments, and the rest of the state at be that membership in Hamilton county, and the order must die. More than that, it will destroy confidence in the order everywhere and it' will die. What should have been cone was to reduce the assessments in Hamilton county to a very low maximum, until by accession of new members those which are the oldest lodges could show a modarate death rate. We expect the notice of assessment to-day, and on receipt of it, Harry Steuve, J. W. Paul, Gabe Dirr and myself, a committee of Hamilton lodges, will, as individuals, sue out an injunction against its collection and test its legality. If we fail the order is gone."

MUST FILE SPECIAL BONDS, s:

Instructions to County Superintendents— Exchange of School Books.

The county superintendents of the state are notified through the department of education that they must now give an additional bond to the commissioners of their respective counties, as required by the text-book law, says the In dianapolis News. The bond to be given is 1100 for each one thousand inhabitants of a county. The special bond of Superintendent Flick, of this county, will be for $10,000 or $12,000. The superintendents have a month, after Governor Hovey issued his proclamation declaring the law in force, in which to file their bonds. A great many people, it seems, have misinterpreted the exchange proposition in the bid of the Indiana school book company. The exchange prices named are not the amounts at which the old books are valued, but the new ones. For instance, the price of a complete new geography is 75 cents if the old book (which has been costing $1) is exchanged, the new book will cost 74 cents. Instead of the new books costing from one to five cents, where exchanges are made, but from one to five cents will be allowed for the old books by the company.

WESTERN WRITERS AT WARSAW.

Interesting Meeting of Weil-Known literary People in Indiana.

Denton, of Cleveland, contributed a poem entitled "An Autumn Day." At the evening session Judge Cyrus T. McNutt, of Terre Haute, read a paper on "The Present Vogue in Fiction. Recitations were given by Mrs. Jordan or Richmond, Ind. Dr. H. W. Taylor of Terre Haute, W. E. P. Firmmer, of Kentland, and Mr. Codfelter of Crawfordsville. The session concluded with a story by James Whitcomb Riley.

VINEGAR ACCORDING TO LAW.

Indiana Authorities Making Sensational Discoveries—What the Law Directs.

Acting under the provisions of a recent law the secretary of the state board of health has collected samples of the vinegar sold in this and other Indiana cities, and has just completed a careful analysis. Of eight samples thoroughly tested but one proves to be pure cider vinegar, and the other seven are nothing more than a decoction of rain water and Bulphuric acid. The largest vinegar manufactory in Indianapolis, which claims to sell pure apple vinegar, furnished the worat stuff that was found among the samples. The secretary says that it will destroy the stomach even of an ostrich if

enacted by the last legislature prohibits the manufacture and sale of any vinegar not the produot of pure apple juice. It must not have any artificial coloring must have an acidity equivalent to the presence of not lesB than 4 per cent, by weight of absoute acetic acid.

The Union Railway Company.

At the annual meeting of the directors of the Union railway company at Indi anapolis yesterday three directors were present. They were M. E. Ingalls, presroad JI ident of the new Big Four McCrea, general manager of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, and W. R. McKeen, president of the Vandalia road. The most interesting business of the meeting was the election of officers, and the changes which were made in the method of managing the affairs of the company. President McCrea and Vice President and General Manager Malott offered their resignations. The double office of vice president and general manager was then divided and the latter half abolished. Mr. Ingalls was elected president and W. R. McKeen vioe president. The duties of the general manager will hereafter devolve upon the president. The superintendent will be an appointive office, the appointment to be in the hands of the president and vice president. Uncle "Billy" Jackson was re-elected secretary and treasurer as a matter of course. The chief reason given for the abolition of the office of general manager was the necessity for a reduction of expenses. There are almost three hundred employes, and the payroll is about sixteen thousand dollara per month. It is anticipated that Mr. Ingalls will proceed to a material reduction of the force on the Belt road and at the station without much delay. To a News reporter he said he would probably an nounce his appointment of superintendent late this afternoon, but he resolutely declined to emit the slightest hint as to who his appointee may be. Colonel D. W. Whitcomb, the present incumbent, has held the position for nearly ten years, and the excellent manner in which the property has been operated is the strongest indorsement of his ability. The name of W. P. Ijams, at present auditor of the Belt road and manager of the stock yardB, has also been suggested but Mr. Ijams talked as though he would not accept the position if it was offered him. The place would require his constant attention to the detriment of his private business.

U. F. Linder was one of the greet law yen of Illinois, who was contemporaneous with Abraham Lincoln, and was so happy as when he had a crowd around him listening to his jokes. But at times the joke returned to plague him.

About 1856 he was sitting one summer evening outside the door of a hotel in Terre Haute, Ind., telling a company of interacted listeners of the exploits of Lsonard Swett, one of IUinoia' noted

I have the honor to be the little doctor you are talking about—you tell it very well." "What mght your name be?" said Linder, though he knew very well. "My name is Roe," said the gentleman. "Not Dr. Roe, of Bloomington?" "Yes, sir, Dr. Roe, of Bloomington— the man you call Swett's little doctor." "Why, I know you, sir—of course I know you, Dr. Roe," said Linder. "My God, sir! are you the man? I beg your pardon, Dr. Roe. I did not know that you were Swett's witness." "Good God, sir, I beg your pardon thousand times.

CHEAP 6A8 FOR AMERICA.

An English Syndicate May Supply Gas in America. CHICAGO, July 12.—A morning paper

says: A London syndicate is in Chicago, or at least some of its representatives are. They know how to make cheap gas over in the old world. They can make it at 8 cents per 1,000 feet in the holder. It surprises them that the Anferic&ns keep on paying from $1 to $2 for what they might have for 25 oents. This syndicate, therefore, proposes to give the American people a chance to try cheap gas. They propose to organize a stock company of $20,000,000 capital and establish plants for manufacturing the gas ail over the country at the most desirable places. Their are withheld for tne present, but they are well known to Chicago bankers, and the quality and quantity of their financial backing are said to be beyond suspicion.

The syndicate will strive to put its plants in Eastern cities, big and little, and in the West wherever the consumption of gas is large enough to warrant it. The idea iB to organize local companies in the different cities. They will pay a certain royalty to the parent concern, and also, at the start, receive financial aid from it. Thus the $20,000,000 which the English syndicate hopes to organize is intended to be not exactly a trust in gas, but a promoter in dividends, and gas received from its advancements made to the local companies in starting and the royalties.

A Dispute About the Cherokee Strip. KANSAS CITY, July 12.—A special from

Topeka, Kan., Bays: Ex-Governor Samuel J. Crawford, attorney for the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians, has isBued an address to the United States Indian commissioners, who are about to negotiate for the Cherokee strip, in which he presents the claims of his clients to 4,000,000 acres of land, also claimed by the Cherokees. He shows that it was oenveyed to the Cheyennes and Arapahoes in 1866, and that their title has never been relinquished. He will present his case to the commissioners at their meeting July 27th, at Talequah, I. T. About five million dollars in rente, etc., is involved in the case, besides the lands.
