TUT EXPRESS would call especial attention to the communication from "C" in another column on this page. Therein can be found a most truthful report and deserved criticism of the meeting of the so-called tariff reformers here last week.

AT the next meeting of the city council the monthly bills amounting to at least $10,000, will be allowed, and warrants issued to the city's creditors. There are now about £10,000 of these warrants outstanding. This monthly increase in the warrants will continue until the tax collections in the late spring. The demand for a saloon license of $250, under these circumstances, would teem to be imperative.

She was captured, and "on her person were found a bottle of ether, a bottle of vitiiol, a gag, two razors and two self-cocking revolvers." If Nizey Vergin is not in Oakland, 111., he iB in Calgary

The Delphi Journal and the Lafayette Courier are rejoiced that "there is one man who went down to Washington who has not forgotten that he is an Indianian, "and that there Brea few people left back here." They refer to W. H. Hart, of

Frankfort recently appointed to the position of third auditor of the treasury. "Comparisons are odorue," it is true and it is pleasant for a Hoosier to find that the Hoosiers who are on top do not get the "big head." There is only one species of Hoosier which is efflicted with this complaint that has its oiigin in too little in the head, and this specimen is rarely found outside of the limits of the capital.

The Huntington-Hatsfeldt wedding yesterday was vulgar. There is no other expression as fit. It was a commercial transaction in which, according to all accounts, the husband was bought but not until after he had driven a sharp bargain. The tone of the cable report indicates that this latest extreme use of American shoddy money to buy a foreign pauper title was the last straw. The indecency of it all is shocking even to parvenus. The bride's father made his money by swindling the government in the Pacific railroad subsidies. He is even a more repulsive character in financial and railroad affairs than Jay Gould. The cable report of the wedding ceremony names the daughter of his Wash ington lobbyist as the bridemaid. Social life in Utah or Gallatin street is almost preferable to this sort of thing.

TIIF. agents of the old school book monopoly took too much license from the toleration of the press and the people, and in their unscrupulous and renewed attempts to break down the law by disparaging the books, have started a whirlwind of indignation. The books are in the main satisfactory and they are cheap. They are as good as we have had in the state none have been good enough, but the people, the teachers and nearly all, except the influenced authorities, hare accepted the new order of things as a blessing. Because this was not declared from the housetops the monopoly felt warranted in a renewed attack and another outlay of money to break down the law. The monopoly's advisers are not good at "sizing up" public opinion. The Muncie Times, referring to the effort of the monopoly to influence the meeting of superintendents of city schools at Richmond„says:

In the meantime let the people give thanks that the school book ring has been compelled lo loosen Its clutch Irom their throats, and that they are buying books at about one-half the former cost. The law Is not perfect, but It has knocked out a Slant monopoly and clearly blazed the way for a genuine reform.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

Representative Payson. of Illinois, is another public man who announces himself as opposed to civil ssrvlce reform. The railway mall service under Arthur, he says, was the best civil service in the world, and that It was a mistake to extend the civil service law to it. See how plain a tale shall put this objector down: The civil service under Arthur, the best In the world, was practloaliy on the civil service reform basis, being built up within the Republican party for years. Being within the party, there were no wholesale changes, BO, substautlally there was' reached what civil service reform secures by law, a body permanent except for Incompetence or dereliction of duty.— [Indianapolis News.

That Beems to cover THE EXPRESS' idea of civil service reform. If the idea can again be put in force we will have once more "the best civil service in the world." Civil service reform that means the adhesion to a theory in one instance and not in another is a sham and a humbug. THE EXPRESS believes that the Republican party can better execute the duties of the civil service than the Democratic party and this despite all tests in geography, geometry, grammar or history. THE EXPRESS also believes that the people cannot be fooled with pledges and platforms but that they can appreciate efficient service even though a clean and immediate sweep, regardless of four years term, is made to secure that much desired result. THE EXPRESS does not believe in "spoils" in the sense of party gifts but it does believe in party men performing the duty where party responsibility exists and it is not alarmed for the responsibility of the Republican party when good Republicans are on duty.

Baltimore has long been known as the very worst of American cities in respect of a free election. The Baltimore repeater and tough for years has been accepted as the representative of the extreme of municipal election bulldozing and repeating. At last, however, it seems that there are Democrats who are willing to stand out in opposition to the methods which have perverted the will of the people in that city. There was an immense meeting last Saturday night with John K. Cowen, general counsel of the Baltimore & Ohio road, presidirg. The following from the report of the meeting is interesting and instructive:

There were some startling charges made, Involving United States Senator Gorman, I. Freeman Basin, naval ofilcerof this port John F. Weyler. warden of the penitentiary, and others. The stories were told bi William J. Harlg and Charles Goodman, both regular Democratic politicians for llfteen years back. Harlg said about Jotin Weyler that he gave Burke, the bank robber, his release for a price. Burke has been absent from the penitentiary since last April, and it was given out that he had escaped through a sewer. Harlg says that ons day he was called on by one of the smartest crooks In New York. The stranger told Harlg he had been directed to him as a friend of Weyler's, and asked If Weyler w?uld,'for a money consideration, give a man !n the penitentiary a show to escape. Two days later Burke's escape was announced.

Harlg, also, said Senator Gorman", In 1882, while chairman of the Democratic state central com mlttee, lecretly connived with the Republicans to defeat the Democratic nominee for judgeships In Baltimore, and that senator Induced him to do some of ihe work: also, that Senator Gorman and Eugene Hlggina, in 1879, organized a body of men. of whom he (Harlg) was one. to go to Howard county, where Gorman was running for the senate. and carry the election by fraud and violence.

Charles Goodman told of a raid h* hnd made with forty armed men from Baltimore, in Howard county, and prevented the negroes from vstIng, and how they shot the negroes, and that tkey were assisted by a Mr. Isaacs, now an auditor In the treasury department at Washington.

The election of colored students at both Harvard and Cornell for class orators is the strongest kind of illustration of the true solution of the race problem, or issue, as it is called. It should be a valuable lesson to the colored people everywhere, teaching them that the surest road to recognition is merit. No barrier can stop the progress of the colored people if they emulate the example of these students, carrying the principle which has guided them in their efforts to secure an education, into all affairs of life. The incident is also a lesson to the Wade Hamptons who stoutly assert that the colored race is incapable of civilization equal to that of the white race. It is, too, a lesson to the church bodies 'such as the recent Episcopal convention in New York which met the race issue in a cowardly way. If Harvard's senior class can vote to make a colored student its orator certainly a christian church cm meet the question of recognition of colored fellow-workers in the vineyard

"Thirty days hath September—I don't see. when they were fixing up the months, why they couldn't have put all the long ones and short ones togethar In bunchea by themselves." "That would be lots handler, wouldn't It?" twittered Mrs. Jason. "And If I am the fixing of it, I would put all the long months Into the summer season, so we could have more nice warm weather."

Sir. Jason gazed at his wife a moment to see if she really meant It and started to say romething, but concluded not to. Then he put on his hat wrong side foremost, murmured under his breath "Well, of all the Idiots—" and silently stole away.

TOIOC 07 THE PJCOPLE.

!, -i* E-qao-nam-Ict. To the Editor of the Erpras*: SIR: As no one has taken the trouble to notice the free trade-DemocraUc-non-partlsan' rally "at the court house on the night of the 22d, perhaps a word about that much advertised performance will not be altogether in vain.

Our distinguished congressman. Mr. Brookshire, Introduced Mr. Lee, the orator of the evening, in a little speech, In which he said that no one but a man of "line Intellect and great Intelligence" Is competent to discuss the tariff understanding^, and he was pleased to say for the speaker of the evening, thit he possessed those qualifications In an eminent degree, and that if the audience would give him their careful attention they would be well repaid for their trouble.

At this point Mr. Lee arose In an uncertain manner, advanced a few stepB, shut his eyes, and began to reach tor the celling of Judge MHck room, an etfort he repeated many times during the evening, but in which, lor obvious reasons, he did not once succeed. His opening sentences, delivered In an undertone, consisted In remarks about the historic and placid Wabash and a town si'uated upon that qutet stream that he called

Turry Hot," and It soon became apparent that Turry Hot" Is a free trade name for our own city that :s used only by men of "fine Intellect and great Intelligence." ~ln lime the man reached the subject he proposed to discuss, and which he said was "e-quo-nomlcs," whatever that may be. he proceeded to talk free trade for an hour In such an original manuer that a majority of his audience ef fifty looked as It they wanted to go lime. Like other missionaries often do. he ended by asking a contribution fiom the faithful, ant he forthwith passed the hat with his own hand. He asserted, however, that he had never received a cent irom the Cobden club, and this part of his story may be readily accepted as true, for the Cobden club, the most part, consists of literary men, college professors and scholarly politicians, who do not emplov men In their mission work that cannot speak their mother tongue In accordance with established usage.

Mr. Lee has great faith In Indiana and he told us that she has greater mineral resources than any other state In the Union. That you bad but to tap a certain white rock and out would rush gas in quantities sufficient to run all the engines in the world—he was not altogether certain how long, but he thought forever, and she could produce enough food to supply the whole United States with bread and meat, and lest this statement should be doubted he stopped at this point to show how the mineral was to be wrought, and In his explanation he paid a high compliment to our Vigo county farmers. He said the Dutch could come here from Pennsylvania, and by cultivating around the Btamps and stones and in the fence corners or our best farms, raise more than our farmers here do in their fields. But as there are no stumps or stones or fence corners on the best farms In this county. It is only because Mr. Lee is so highly endorsed as a man of "fine Intellect and great Intelligence" that we can credit this statement as well as the many others equally wonderful that he made before he got througn. Besides, as he said that farms in Vigo that fifteen year* ago were worth $100 per acre are now worth only $45 to $60, some of these Dutch ought to be imported in time to show our lament how to put In their spring crops.

He now turned to protection and Informed his audience that our government Is collecting annually $50,000,(XX) mure than are needed to meet current expenses, and that In this fearful exaction we can read starvation for the working man, mortgages for the farmer and ruin to the business interests of the whole country. He mopped the sweat from his face at frequent Intervals and tossed the heavy burden of $50,000,000 through every figure of speech he was master of, and never once ceased from Jerking it about till the violent exercise put him out of breath.

Sixty millions is, to be sure, "a g"od und sum." but our country is to-day estimated to be worth more than a thousand times sixty million dollars and our people are said to spend every year more than twenty times sixty million dollars on whiskey, beer, tobacco and other things they would be better without, and according to the late Daniel Manning, Cleveland's first secretary of tlio treasury, they buy, every year, from foreign countries "articles ol voluutaryuse and luxury," that It costs *80,000,000 to import and more than forty million dollars more to get through the custom house. 'I hen that tax ot 160,000,(XX) on the county is only a mill on the dollar, one twenty-fifth of the tax on this city, and if the country Is really going to the everlasting bow wowe, Mr. Lee might well look som-wh*re else for the cause, but he prefers to turn that iGO,0.0,000 losoe in a crowd of free tradtrs and ex-rebels, where it instantly grows big, black, tremendous jumps on the frightened wretches, and threatens Instant destruction to a country whose wealth Is Increased every twenty-four days by a sum equal to{tbatsume $G0,000.000. Then it Mr, Lee will only wait till our Republican congress gets through with sugar, hemn, rice, and a'cohoi used In the arts, that $60,000,000 IncumbuB will cease to murder the sleep of tmld Democrats.

The speaker then turned his attention to agrl cultural Implements, and was ferocious in his talk about the prices farmers have to pay for them by reason of the tariff, and men far greater than Mr. Lee will ever be, talk In the same way. But to trace the evolution of the twine binder from Hussey's machine of 1833 to the present, would be to retute all the treetraders claim on this point. Time will not permit this, but it will be enough to say that at every point in the development of these implements, improvements have been protected by patents. The cutting bar of lliissey's machine, the platform that was added to It, the provision of a seat for a raker, the automatic raker, the arranijement for carrying binders on the machine, the wire binder and the wonderrully ingenious twine binder, all were protected by patents and as radical Improvements In reapers succeeded each other In much less than fourteen, years, there has never been a time when the favor lte harvester of our farmers wvs not protected by trom ten to a hundred separate patents. They needed no protection Irom tarlll laws, and neither reapers, mowers, drills, or threshers are once mentioned In the tariff act of 1883, Itinerant ignoramuses and United States senators to the contrary notwithstanding. 1 he proper field for Lee to work would be the log school-houses that still linger in Wells and other copperhead counties of our State. In such localities he could horrify the gasping rustics with stories about horse shoes, cotton prints, carpets, furniture, twine binders, etc.. till each barefooted Democrat would feel that "him self were in on whose sole" back rested the burden of those $60,000,000. and feel himself lucky to have lived tnrough It. But the free trader Is always nice to the man who tills the soil. At Scottsboro Voorhees turned a tear-stained face upon the farmers and In a husky voice rounded off bis appeal to them by a quotation from a vagabond poet who made money, out Instead of using it to pay his honest debts wllb wasted It in debauchery or bestowed It in oharlty on bummers or prostitutes.

Such fellows have p.enty of complaints to make about people whose promises to pay are worth 100 cents on the dollar, and they sometimes have the facultF of whining In neatly balanced periods or In poetry ti which the world willingly 1

Uteri a It happened by some chance that about the time Voorhees was at Scottsboro quoting the doctored lines, "ill fares the land, to wasting cares a pray

Where wealth accumulates and farms decay," that the owners of the free trade organ at Evaniville were running off an edition of the Courier for the purt oae of booming that city aud Vanderberg county, and such a picture ot prosperity as that number of the organ contains has not often been drawn. When the editor got through telling about the marvelous growth of the town, he turned his attention to the country, and unless the picture is greatly overdrawn, the Vanderbe/g farmer Is fat. healthy, happy and rich enough to live In a palace, and people are especially Invited to believe that If they could see the Vanderberg farm of twenty-five years ago, and contrast it with the farm of to-day the change would convince any one that the farmers of that section are boomlngly prospered. It would seem, tben, that with the free trader everything depends upon the end in view. It a free trade demagogue of Terre Haute wants to get back to the senate he weeps upon the neck of the poor farmer, tells him that he is ruined, and that the tariff has done it. Has the impudence to tell him this though the man may be lord of acres broad and have barns bursting with their loads of grain. On the other hand If an Evansvllle tree trade demagogue wants to sell real estate he blows a blast for the city on the Ohio, and for the farms and farmers of his county that Gabriel could hardly equal.

The Hon Voorhees. at Scottsboro, wept over that 85 per cent, tariff on reapers, threshers, drills, etc., and over the bloody fingers of the poor binders ol Indiana and Dakota, who could not buy reapers because of protection, and how ungrateful it was in those people to go and vote the Republican ticket, almost unanimously, on the very Orst occasion that offered.

TKHRK HAUTK, October 28, 1889.

Genuine Indian Mummy.

Dr. Helms, of Sullivan, formerly trustee of the Reform school, has taken to Plainfield for free exhibition a mummified Indian chief, found by his son, Samuel D. Helms, in a cave near Port Casper, Wyoming. A bullet hole in one eye, with war paint on the forehead, tell the story of the chief's death. He was buried in state, evidently. Rings in his ears, on his wrists and lingers, and a double bone necklace are still in place. The body is well preserved in a dry state the watery elements have simply been displaced, leaving the solids intact and unchanged. Mocassins are on the feet, and all the usual war toggery of the noble red man was found with the body. "Chonta Tonka" is the dead warrior's stage name.—[Indianapolis News.

INDIANA POLITICS.

What an Iowa Editor Wrote Vfoin This Stat* to His Paper. Mr. C. F. Clarkson, father of the assistant postmaster general, writing from Indiana to hia paper, the Des Moinee Register, concerning politics in that state, among other things says:

There is no better evidence of the hopelesB corruption of Indiana Democracy than the election of city officers of the city of Indianapolis October 8. Three years ago Sim Coy was guilty of stuffing the ballot box in one of the wards of that city at an election with illegal tickets. He was indicted and convicted of the felony and sent to the penitentiary for two years. The proof was so plain and positive that no one disputed it, or claimed his innocence. He served his time out and came home two months ago. He had been paid his salary a9 member of the city council all the time he was in the prison. On his return he was nominated by his party for re-election, and on the 8th inst. was elected by more than three to one over a worthy and good man. This is Indiana Democracy.

We can discover also a difference in the position of the Republicans from those in Iowa. The political contest in Indiana last fall was more of the nature ot personal atagonism than a political contest. They captured the enemy, and they claim that the spoils legally and politically belong to them—and they demand them now. Hence there is here in Indiana more impatience and complaining of the conservatism and cautious actions of General Harrison than in other states. The appetite of the officesseker is consuming—it is intense. It is a fever which neither quinine nor even corn-juice will satisfy. Heflce there is more low, but earnest grumbling which will have to be appeased or worse things may happen.

There is a strong feeling among many Republicans of Indiana that Judge Gresham should'be appointed supreme judge in preference to Secretary W. H. H. Miller, and yet none have faith that such desirable action will be had. And thiB is especially the case since some late unwise and rash acts Qf Gresham towards Judge Woods, of Indiana. It

J!HI*. CLEVELAND'S HEALTH.

Looking Better Now Than She Has for Throe Years—Her Quaint Furniture. Mrs. Cleveland has gained considerable flesh since leaving the White house and is a much healthier looking woman, as a result of her summer outing, than the thin and rather sallow person who took up her abode in New York lost spring, says the New York Mail and Express. She has regained also something of her o'd brilliant color ar.d is more nearly like what she was as a girl bride. Washington never really agreed with her, nor did late hours. People who have seen them express much admiration for the old and quaint pieces of furniture which are going into her new establishment.

Not the least Btriking of these is a screen for the' dining-room, which was given her by a foreign ambassador, and has hardly been unpacked in h^r frequent Sittings or seen the day. It is of leather, with four leaves, and is eight feet high. The design is a reproduction of old Venetian patterns in fine low relief, in deep rich colors of silver and gold, hand tooled. No framework is visible'about the screen, the illuminated leather covering it all. Each leaf is in three square panels, surrounded by small brass-headed nails. Opened at right angles on the inside of each leaf is a shelf wide enough for a book or a cup of tea, a box of bonbons and a shaded candle.

A RIOT AT DF.LHI, LOUISIANA

One Thousand Shots Fired Into tlie Stores of Jewish Merchants. NEW YORK, October 27.—The Pickay une's VickBburg special says: A. Simon and J. Peiber, of New Orleans, employed lately by T. Hirsch, a promi nent merohant of Delhi, La., arrived here this afternoon. They gave the particulars of a riot which they say took place at 1 o'clock Saturday morning in Djlhi and in which the stores of several Jewish merchants were attacked by an armed mob and fired into. They trace the cause of the disturbance to the business rivalry, as the Jews were monopolizing the trade of the town, and says the mob numbered from thirty to one hundred men, and fired fully one thousand shots tbat night, not at persons but into the stores of Jewish merchants. No threats of personal violence were made, nor any attempt to inflict personal injury, nor W6re Jewish merchants ordered to leave town, but witnesses understood that the people desired native clerks to beetnployed in the stores, and after remaining there Saturday, without being disturbed, they took their departure. They say the town au thorities were powerless to protect anyone.

AKCHDUKKJOHN.

Ha luslsts That Ho Wants to Work and Kuril His Own Bread. Special by cable to the Republic.

LONDON, October 2G.—Court circles on the continent are still ringing with the determination of the Archduke John, of Austria, to renounce his rank and fortune, and to take command of an English merchant ship. Joiin is no beggar or tramp, however. He wants to work and earn his own bread. He is a splendid officer, highly educated with a faculty for mathematics and scientific problems. In politics he borders on ecoialism, and his outspoken utterances were always getting him into hot water. Unfortunately for himself, he offended the Archduke Albrecht by criticising his military skill and Count Kalnoky by espousing the cause of Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria. The influence of these two was sufficient to induce the Emperor Francis Josef to remove the Archduke John from his command. Now John insits that he will have work of some kind. He is a finely built, powerful man of 3-3, full of. life and energy.

A CURIOUS XBMORIAL SKBVICi.

Portuguese at Providence Hold Serrleee Over an Empty Collin. PROVIDENCE, R. I., October 27.—la a little wooden church, heavily hung with black and relieved only by the colors Of the ensigns ot the United States and Portugal, a curious ceremonial was performed to-day in a foreign tongue over an empty coffin. It was a service in memory of King JLiuis, of Portugal, in Fr. Seravas Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, and the chief observers were thePortugues beneficial society of this city. The brethren -had assembled at tljeir hall, nearly a mile from the church, and marched thither escorting a bearse drawn by six horses and preceded and followed by outriders. The coffin w§3 a costly wooden oasket covered with broadcloth. No portrait of King Luis and no suitable uniforms could be procured aa desired, so the bier wan without insignia* of royalty. 0:herwise the appointments were complete. A band playing a dirge led the line to the church, but the casket was not taken inside until after mass. The bier was then carried forward to a place before the altar, and was there raised high above the heads of the audience. Six great candles were placed about it, while altar boys held two more at th6 head and another boy between these two held aloft a cross. The funeral service followed. It was introduced by prayer, and then the Rev. Dr. Serava pronounced a eulogy upon the life of Luis. Prayers for the dead, the swinging of the censor and responsive singing by the choir followed. After the ceremony, the hearse and bier were eEcorted back to the society halls.

TROUBLE ABOUT UNIVJCKSITY FUND'!

The Status or the Normal University, at Normal. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

BLOOMINGTON, 111., October 26.—Some time ago Jamea Freeman, a tax-payer, obtained an injunction restraining the state board of education from drawing warrants upon the $21,000 appropriated by the recent legislature for the support of the state normal university at Normal. Thirty years ago E. W. Bakewell donated forty acres of land to aid in securing the location at Normal of the State Normal school university. Recently he claimed that theconditions accompanying the donation had not been complied with, and demanded the re turn of the land or its value. Neither the state board nor the legislature listened to his claim, and he has since en deavored in every way possible to close the institution. His last effort was the procuring of this injunction, which he claimed on the plea tbat, in the case of Greenbau vs. the state board, and Bakeweil vs. the same, the Normal university was decided to be not a public, but a private institution, and hence, under the constitution, not entitled to state aid. udge Sample to day dissolved the injunction, deciding that the cases referred to did not determine the status of the Normal university as to its rights to state aid, that the legislature has the power to aid objects of public benefit, and that the institution in question ie peculiarly one to which aid should be extended. Bakewell appeals the case.

The editor of the Milwaukee Yencwine's News recently Btrayed away from home and brought up at Indianapolitr, Here ia what he says of our capital city

Indianapolis Is about the most unlnterestlnj: plac-i I ever vlsted. It Is low, flat, dusty anil stupid looking.
