Tut EXPKESS would say on9 word us a Republican newspaper as to the party issue in this school book controversy. Neil September, when the sehaols open for the winter term, the parents will first appreciate the great benefit of cheaper books. In November we will have en election.

The national silver convention will meet in St. Louis to-day. The convention will no doubt declure for free coin age and arrange to urge that proposition on congress this winter. Under the present law the secretary of the treasury is directed to coin not less than 32,000,000 a month nor more than 64,000,000. Since the measure was enacted the monthly coinage has almost uniformly been at the minimum amount, and it seems to hiue been sufiloient for all good purposes. A greutly increased coinage, under the provisions, would, no doubt, further increase the disparity in the value of the two metals of our currency, and in the end work injury to the system which the bi-metallists have so ardently advo cated.

APPOINTMENTS TO OFFICE.

The president has appointed a United States marshal for the northern district of Illinois, and the appointee was endorsed by Senators Farwell and Cullom. True, he was not their first choice, but the president seems to have had his way about it, and furthermore succeeded in ^having the two senators, who seem to be most prominent in patronage seeking of, all senators on the

k9publican

side, coincide with

him. These quarrels over the distribution of patronage have been occupying public attention a great deal this year, and have led to some severe comments within the party.

It should not be so, of course, but it is the inevitable when a change in administration occurs. Being inevitable the best policy is to make the appointments quickly, meet and overcome the consequent disappointment quickly, and quickly give evidence that the new men in oflice are competent and efficient. The rally of party strength to meet the common enemy is the prime object of partisanship and everygood party man can be enlisted in the cause when all patronage is once disposed of. Whatever of the republican reverses this year cau be traced to pirtronBge disaffection can be retrieved next year on party issues of national concern. It would have been better if all the patronage had been disposed of before this time, that the party might be able to get in fighting trim on the issues that will be raised by the president's message and the attitude of the parties in congress.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

Chicago Tribune: It was a great oversight on the part of Lawyer Forrest that he was not on hand to object to ihe finding of Dr. Cronln's clothes.

Topeka Capital: With the president of the I'nlted States and both houses of congress our way of thinking. Republicans can afford to view the recent reverses with the cheerfulness of Mark Tapley. I Chicago Tribune: We protest against this studious Ignoring of the claims of Br er (irady. of Atlanta. lia.. for the Democratic nomination for vice-president. The eloijuent champion of the new South must not be thrust aside to make way Tor a mere Buckeye accident.

Boston Journal. The purchase of Chicago grain elevators Is the latest achievement credited io the English syndicate. Our Democratic contoniporarles should promptly rebuke these Englishmen from withdrawing capital from a free trade country to Invest it tn a country aftllcleil by a protective larifT.

Montreal Star: Hungary has given the world a singular and striking example lu the way of temperance reform by buying out the taverns and turning them into schools. We do not know what the educational system has hitherto been In Hungary, but we may be pretty sure that the change will be vastly beneficial to the natton.

New York Commercial: It Is hoped that a system of technic il education may soon be Intro duced throughout our public schools. Tho demand for skilled artisans exceeds the supply. Most of the line work In stone cutting and wood carving In this city Is done by foreigners, who are paid at the rate of from $5 to #10 perilny. Good trade schools would produce native competition in ibis lucrative flsld of labor.

Indianapolis Journal: That was a very sensible decision of the Knights of Labor on the eighthour question, namely, that the matter should be regulated by demand and the different kinds of labor. There Is a tendency In many, if not most, departments of labor to shorten the hours of work, and the desired change will come about gradually and with lets lrlcUon than by tnforced legislation.

Boston Traveler: Let it be remembered that the Republican party was never yet beaten in a national contest when it had a distinctive and progressive public policy. In 1S92 it will declare for an honest a"d uniform federal election law. for a tarltf as amended on protection lines, and for subsidies to put the American Hit once more on the high seas, and will not only recover lost ground, but will capture states heretofore Democratic,

New York World: in a judicial Inquiry at Salt Lake City into the nature of a Mormon oath, two witnesses testified that when took the oath they were told that violation of it would he punished by death. One witness saw a mail's throat cut for revealing Mormon secrets. The oath provided that the Individual subscribing to It should be ready at all times to avenge the Jeath of Joseph Smith, and exacted unrelenting opposition to the government of the United States.

THAT WAR IN EUROPE.

Prince Bismarck is much less warlike than his rival, Count Wsldersee, writes a Berlin correspondent of the .Pall Mall Gazette. But Count Waidersee is exceeded in bellicose urgency by General Wittien and one or two others who stand very close to the kaiser. The arguments of these advocates for immediate war are in Wrief as follows: "Germany is surrounded by foes who but wait an opportunity to deal her a deadly blow. Never shall we be in abetter condition to anticipate attack than we are to-day. We have now all the latest and improved weapons, the new magazine rifle, the smokeless powder with which our neighbors are not yet provided. In a few years they will have all our advantages, but juBt now we have them at almost as great a disadvantage as we had in Austria in I860, when the needle gun swept away the muzzle-load-ing armies of Francis Joseph. But that is not the only argument in favor of action. Our great generals are now very old. In a few years they will have passed away. If we tight now we shall have combined monopoly of the greatest strategists and the.newest weapons. It is a chance which may never recur. War, then, war, of the earliest possible opportunity, that is the obvious necessity of German policy."

The German emperor is inclined to take thi6 course, out he w.avers, and hesitates between the youDg men and the old. For Bismarck is doubtful as to the wisdom of precipitating war, and he is understood to be opposed to it altogether unless h» cau neutralize liussia. It was to this end that he employed all his eloquence during the czar'i visit to Berlin. But he failed, and failed utterly, to commit the c/.ar of any arrangement with the triple alliance. I have received a very curious account of the interview between the czar and the German chancellor, of the accuracy of which there is no doubt. Prince Bismarck, who for several months past has been pressing for the definite annexation of Bosnia and the Herzegovina to Austria, read the czar a memoir, in which he sought to prove that his policy had never been opposed to liusaia, and that Ruesia's true policy was to join the triple alliance, assent to Austria's extensions to Salonica and compensate herself by taking Con stantinople, and whatever else she pleased of the Ottoman empire. The czar listened in profound silence. When Bismarck bad finished he replied: "I shall maintain my reserve. I can enter into no such arrangements." "The czar," said Prince Bismarck afterward, "ia in scrutable, incalculable and as immova ble as a rock."

In reality there is nothing inscrutable in the Russian policy. The czar wills

I501100- I 1_ 1 Bismarck's great mistak© has besn oia inability to understand the character of Alexander III. He imagined that he could manage him as he managed bis father. By his Austro-German alliance he thought he could overawe Russia so as to compel the emperor to acquiesce in his policy. The czar was not in the least overawed. He was, however, naturally very angry. Iustead of being cowed, he was indignant. So far from being coerced into an acceptance of Bismarck's policy, he at once adopted a policy of calm and resolute reserve. He wants nothing but peace. He will not be seduced into a policy of aggrfssion, the path to which has been insde easy to him in vain. He holds himself aloof from the leagues of peace, which are in reality leagues for partition, and his attitude of armed abstention ia at this moment the great safeguard of peace. -If the czar had consented to accept Constantinople as the price of hiB ad hesion to the triple alliance, war would soon-have been arranged. Austria might have annexed Bosnia in that case the Servians in that province and in the kingdom would have flown to arms. Austria might liave been pushed forward to intervene in force in Servia. Then again, there would be war. This, of course, may still be done, but it will not be done unless Germany feel6 secure of Russia confiding her at tentions to Austria and Turkey. The tirst object of the war pBrty in Germany is the neutrification of Russia, whether by involviug her in an eastern war or by bribing her with Turkish territory, is to them a matter of indifference. They would gladly see Russia involved in war with Austria if they were quite sure that Austria was strong enough to divert all the Russian forces. There, however, is the weak point in their calculations. The Russians believe that they need not detail more than 200,000 men to render an effective account of Austria if they should be forced into war. The rest of their troops they will keep in readiness for German foes. As long as there is a strong mobile force in Russia available for action on the German frontier, so long will the peace of Europe be freed from its greatest peril. Once let the Russian factor be eliminated or neutralized, and you would see the longexpected war which any accident may begin, but the end of which no one can foresee short of the absolute extinction of one or other of the combatants.

How would war begin? War would begin between France uud Italy. I was arranged for this year, and Crispi is said to have declared that he would never have consented to impose the sacrifices which are crushing Italian finan ces if he had not been assured that war was certain in May. According to the plan of the war party at Berlin, Italy was to be pushed forward to Bttack France. This is no difficult matter. Signor Crispi is a parvenue, whose head has been completely turned -by the alliance with Prince Bismarck. France, however, will not go to war with Italy, unless Italy takes the initiative. Italy will not take the initiative unless secure of German help. Germany cannot give that help until she has squared Russia. Russia refuses to be squared. So there will be no war—at least not yet, although no one, of course, can pretend to know what the chapter of incidents may bring forth.

Russia will not begin war, but if she ia attacked she will never end it until her assailant sues for peace. There is not much danger that she will be attacked because of the attitude of France. If once Russia and Germany are at war, the French nation, whatever government might be in power, would fling itself upon the German frontier. If the government refused there would be a revolution as a preface to war. But war there would be without any treaty or even understanding. The French army could not be held in the leash when Germany WBS engaged in a Russian campaign. Hence if Germany fights Russia she must also tight France.

This is the new alliance of peace which balances the triple alliance of central Europe. There ia no need of apprehension as to the Balkans. Russia will not interfere if other powers keep their hands off. Prince Ferdinand may come or Prince Ferdinand mBy go. The sultBn is not likely to be drawn into the triple

alliance, but this perpetual fidgeting and fusBing of the restlees kaiser is proving a somewhat severe strain on the nerves of Europe. 'f

A NEW CHIEF JUSTICE. *.

The Suprt- ne Court Organized For tlie November Term.

'Hear ye! hear ye! hear ye! The November term, 1SS9, of the supreme court of the state of Indiana, with the Hon. Joseph A. S. Mitchell on the bench.as chief justice, is now open."

At 10 o'clock this morning, says the Indianapolis News, the five men who compose the high court of justice in Indiana, will tile into the supreme court room in the state

CBpitol

and seat them­

selves in august array. Then .the sheriff will swing open the great d°or® and in solemn, impressive tones call out the words quoted at the beginning of this article. As a matter of cold fact to-day is the beginning of the term. The court organized this morning and elected Judge Mitchell chief justice, and without unnecessary delay proceeded to the work of considering cases on the docket. The first days of the May and November terms are always on Monday, and they, too, are the only Mondays in the year on which decisions are handed down by the court.

The sessions are not formally declared open, however,' until the Tuesdays following the first

dayB,

in order that at­

torneys who desire to attend the opening may have time to reach the city without leaving home on Sunday. Under an old rule, motions to dismiss cases and various other legal proceedings had to be attended to by the attorneys at the opening of the terms. In those days usually several hundred lawyers from all over the state assembled on the opening days, and though now the attendance is uauallv limited to a half dozen, because of more liberal rules, the old custom of "calling" court on the second day still obtains.

Now, at the beginning of the new term the docket shows 1.0S-1 cases waiting for decision. At the usual rate of disposal this means that the court is over twenty five months behind with its work.

Justice Coffey is seriously ill. Last week he could not be removed home from here, but yesterday he was able to go, and is now at Brazil with his family. Justice Herkehire, who was also unable to attend to his duties last week, expects to be at work again this week.

THE INDIANA WIDOW.

There was a combination of wholesale and retail business in her eye, save the New York Sun, as she entered the ofiice of a Harlem dentist and inquired: "Can you pull six teeth for me right off '•Have you come prepared:' he asked in reply. "Why, I'm here, ain't I?" "But do you wish to take laughing gas or ether?" "No, sir! I'll sit in the chair and you clinch on and pull." "Very well, ma'am."

She removed her bonnet, took her place in the chair, and he pulled six front teeth without bringing a groan. "IIow soon can I get a plate?" she asked as she got out of the chair. "In about six weeks, raa'am—-a permanent plate." "All right—go ahead. Io there a corn doctor near?" "One two blocks down." "I went seven corns and five warts taken off. Good shoemaker handy?" "Next door, ma'am." "I toe in. I want a pair of shoes made to force me to toe out for a while. Drug store down the street?"-

"One block down."' "I want something to take these freckles off. Six teeth at 50 cents each is S3. Here's your change." "Ma'oj, excuge me if I ask if you contemplate a trip to Europe?" querried the dentist as she was ready to go. "No, sir, I'm a widow from Indiana. Live five miles above. Struck a man who wants to be my second husband, and we are going to be married in two months. I'm going into training, you see—good day."

Protection Against Salvation Armies. BI.OOMIXC.TON,111., November 25.—The

appellate court at Springfield has rendered a decision in favor of the city of Bloomington in its case against Mrs. Washburne, of the Salvation army. The decision establishes the right of cities and towns to protect themselves against the alleged objectionable practices of the Salvationists. This sect made a practice of parading the business streets nigbly, blowing horns and pounding on an immense bass drum. Mayor Mason ordered that the drum beating cease, and when Mrs. Washburne appeared on the streets and violated the mandateshe was arrested and fined. The case was tBken to the circuit court, where the decision was affirmed. It then went to the appellate court and has again been affirmed.

The 132 insurance companies doing business in Indiana between June 30, 18SS, and June 30,1S8!), paid into the state treasury taxes amounting to $73,772 This is an increase of $20,000 over the year before, and as the taxes are paid only on the amount by which the companies' receipts exceed their losses, it in dicates a year of prosperity. The figures show that there are ninety-seven tire and thirty-five life and accident companies operating in the state, and that the profits of the life average much higher than tho?e of the fire companies Seventeen of the latter and three of the former had losses exceeding receipts in Indiana.

THE lAi lAN TERRITORY TRAIN ROBBERY.

An Interview With Oscar Johnson, tlie Kxpress Messenger. ST. Loris, Mo., November 25.—A

special to the Post Dispatch from Sedalia, Mo., gives an interview with Oicar Johnson, the express messenger, whose car was held up and robbed at Pryor creek, twenty-five miles south of Vinita, I. T., last night. His story of the robbery is as follows: When the train stopped at the water tnnk near that station, a gang of men of not less than five boarded the train. Two of them took possession of the engine, while another cut the mail, baggage and expro3S care off from the engine. A shot alarmed Johnson, who was secreting valuable packages. By the time the men were ready to enter his car he had all but about §1,000 stored away in various parts of the car. At the point of a pistol Johnson opened the safe and the robbers secured the $1,000 found there. They then opened bis train box, and seeing a small amount of money, asked whose it was. "That's part of my salary," replied Johnson. The robbers left it, telling him they were not robbing train men. Johnson told them that was all the money and they left the car.

Johnson, accompanied by express company officials, left for St. Louis this afternoon, the former practically under arrest.

PLAYING SHADOW BUFF.

A New Game That Is a* Funny at Hllutliii an's ft'. The game of shadow buff differs very materially from blindman's buff, but it is equally BB amusing, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. A large piece of white linen should be fastened neatly up at one end of a room so that it hanga smoothly. Buff (not blinded) eeate himself on a low stool, with his face to the linen, and a table, on which ia a lighted candle, should be placed about four or five feet behind him, and the rest of the lights in the room extinguished.

Buff) 's play fellows next paes in succession between the candle and him, distorting their features in as grotesque a manner BS possible—hopping, limping and performing various odd antics, so as to make their shadows very unlike their usual looks Buff must then try to guess to whom the shadows belong, and if he guesses correctly the player whose shadow he recognizes take3 his place. Buff is allowed only one guess for each person, and must not turn bis head either to the right or left to see who pae-ee.

AMUSING AND GBARACTERISTIC.

!'ar *h»in Seemingly Do Nut Care Whether Gemmns Are Killed «»r Not.

A friend who has just returned from Paris tells me an amusiDg and characteristic anecdote, says a writer in the Critic. During the recent exposition there wa3 a little railroud, five miles in length, running around the groun is. The tracks ran in 8nd out among the trees and buildings, and so near them that a passenger's head or arm thrust out of the window was in danger of being knocked off. To prevent accidents of this sort warnings were printed on large posters and tacked up at intervals of a few yards along the entire track. They were printed in almost every known language, including Asiatic and African tongues, shorthand and Voiapuk. My friend counted over thirty languages and dialects.. You would have supposed that none was omitted in such a list. But there was one omission, and a very important one. Not a single word of warning was printed in German! Some one said to the manager of the road: "It looks to me as if you didn't, care whether the Germans got their heads knocked off or not." He smiled a quiet smile and replied: "It does look that way, sure enough."

A Remarkable Confession.

"It ia with the most profound consternation that I have to report these five cases of death, due without any doubt to the treatment employed by me," is the way that an honest writer in one of our foreign exchanges begins his article.

A Coffin Maile of Champagne Labels.

M. Dimitri a Russian diplomate in Paris, whose fame was chiefly acquired by his marvelous capacity for drinking champagne, in gratitude to the bottles out of which had come the chief enjoyment of his life, collected the lead papers with which the corns of champagne bot tlas are covered, and out of those which he and his friends had consumed a lead coffin was made in which the Russian was carried to his grave.—[ Hotel Gazette.
