Senator Turpie has got in ahertd of Senator Voorhees with a speech, but while the two representatives of the bourbon Democracy of Fndiana are making speeches at Washington, Mr. Isaac P. Gray is getting a better hold on the party reins at homo.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, pro poses to send the colored people to Africa, "where they came from." He and his "sunny Southland" have hnd all they can get out of them. Senator Morgan is not too young to be retired and is too old to catch up with the times.

Senator Chandler's federal election measure is, in its outline, in accordance with the wish and purpose of the Republicans everywhere. No measure should have precedence over one which will put an end to the unfair advantages the south now holds by reason of a suppressed vote.

This from the Columbus Republican indicates that your Uncle Gray is already laying his plans to capture legislative nominations:

The Voorhees men are not going to see Joe Gent carry oil the legislative nomination without protest. Voorhees Is advised of the scheme and air. Cent may make up his mind that Daniel wll have a linger In the pie. "The best laid schemes or mice and men gang aft aglef."

The Columbia Republican has been led into making a mistake when it says Judge Brewer declared t.hat the school book law is invalid. The judge said it was valid but that the clause for the supply ing of books was not compulsory. There has been a great deal of misinformation about this law and the Republican no doubt is one of the innocent victims.

The funeral services over the remains of Jeir Davis will be held to-day and then we may hope for a cessation of the rethorical rot that is filling the reports of the ostentatious mourning of the Southern people. Even if he had been a patriot, a model eoldier, a christian gentleman,the historical figure of his time the stulT eaid and written of him would be fulsome and disgusting.

The Now Albany Tribune says "it is a real pleasure to find a Democratic news paper that dares to tell the truth about Republican men, measures and appointments," and quotes the South Bend Times' statement that Judge Brewer "is a liberal Republican, and able jurist and thoroughly qualified for the place." The Indianapolis Sentinel yesterday, in its malice toward Judge Woods forgot itself and referred to .Judge Brewer as "that eminent jurist."

DEPEW ON OUR COUNTRY.

Mr. Chauncey Depew thus replied to the toast "Our Country" at the Buffalo Press cluo banquet:

Mn. PRESIDENT AXD GENTLEMEN: It is only in Buffalo that I could have such a reception it is only from Buffalo that such a reception would be supremely grateful. I don't know why you should call in anybody from the East or the West, from the South or the North to you. .at this, your annual festival, when you have among you oratora of such proved ability, wit and humor as the gentlemen who have already spoken, and who will be followed, doubtless, by gentlemen of equal ability, wit, humor and force. It is as the Bible says, a man is without honor in his own country, and therefore I come among you as a stranger to carry off the palm, not from the merit of anything I may say, but to prove the Scriptures. [Laughter.] If, as has been slated by the gentleman who spoke for the press, there are some 3,000,000,000 of publications in this country to 60,000,000 of-inhabitants [laughter taken up and renewed], the chanceB of the orator are poor indeed and if there are 3,000,000,000 of publications and here and there an orator, what a blessing it is that these fellows who control these publications will occasionally get within the four walls of a room, where we speakers can have a chance. [Laughter.]

Your applause indicates that the number who want to get even are in excess of those whose punishment is deserved. [Liughter.] I am asked to speak for "Our Country." It is a quarter to 11 and the subject is too vast for the evening or the condition of the guests [Renewed laughter.J

The prsident of tue United States has told us in the morning papers all that he knows about our country, and the Courier and other papers have supplemented it by telling what he did not know. Laughter.] So that it seems to me that the subject, vast as it is, is exhausted. It reminds me—and the application can be made on one side or the other, as partisan tendencies may incline —of the story of old Parr, that famous, moat learned and most aged of men, who, at 150 years of age, was listening to a bumptious youth who was telling him something that Parr didn't know, and Pnrr said to him: "Young man, if any man knew all that I know and all that you don't Know there would be little left for him to know." [Laughter.] If a foreigner arriving in this country, as most foreigners do [laughter |, anxious to grasp the country in a glance and unable to see the environment which is immediately in his neighborhood should say to me: "What is there that you can epitomize that can give to me in a moment this United States of America, extending from ocean to ocean and almost from pole to pole?" 1 should say to him "Select one of our great cities which has within a few years—to you nothing as time is counted in the old world—progressed from small beginnings until it has developed into a municipality which in the middle ages would have been an empire—take that as an evidence of what the United States is." I should say to him with the pride that I have in my own state: "Take Buffalo." [Applause.]

Thirty years agcr, wnen I first became acquainted with this city, it was a little more than a hamlet upon the lake, and I know of no city in the Union which, during that period that marks the generation of a man, has developed upon even equal lines in its material prosper ity. in its business, in its parks, in its charities, in its churches, in its religious and its intellectual life, as the synonym and expression of the development of the country, equal or superior to this city upon the lakes. [Applause.] Of course, as Senator Liughlin has eloquently said, Chicago would take excep tion to"that. I have not that feeling toward Chicago that my eloquent friend has expressed. I regard Chicago in its extraordinary, abnormal and phenomenal development during forty years as one of the most extraordinary evidences of the possibilities of aggregated humanity upon a common center to accomplish extraordinary results that the world has ever seen. At the same time I regard Chicago as the most self-ap-preciative and best advertised upon the face of the Union. [Laughter.] I felt that, peculiarly when recently there. I attended church on Sunday, and in the Episcopal service, which is mine, I bent reverently at the beginning, thankful for all the blessings that had been showered on me during my life, which have been manifold and abundant—thankful that I had jbeen preserved during the perils of travel, which were great, over all the vast system which I had coursed, meaning to express in the fullest and deepest reverence all my gratitude for this—my eye fell in the beginning of the service upon this line in the prayer book: "Seraphim and cherubim continually do cry: The World's Fair is in Chicago." [Loud laughter and applause.]

I have a special regard for Buffalo, as my friend, Senator Laughlin, has said, t\nd this is the only time in the course of a long experience that I ever, except on a great national occasion, have gone from my home for a festival like this nnd it is not because I would brave two nights upon a sleeping car, the Buffalo zephyr and peculiarites and eccentricities of the Buffalo thermometer to get what, if public report is true, I have already too much of—a dinner. [Laughter.] My reputation in that regard leads to extraordinary hallucinations. There is a general impression that I dine every night at sombody else's expense [laughter], nnd recently, when I was going on the fourth Avenue railroad, a gentleman whom I had never seen, on the opposite side, said: "Mr. Depew. do you dine out to night?" Ijsaid: "Yes, 6ir." Said he: "We were discussing you at our table to-night, in the family circle, and my wife said: 'I would like to board that Mr. Depew.'" [Roars of laughter.]

But I CBU19 to Buffalo to express especially and primarily to the press of this city the acknowledgment of the debt which I have owed to it during the whole of my career. When I was graduated from" Yale to tak» immediately the stump, one of the first speeches that I made was in this city, and from the Republican and Democratic ptess alike there was just that criticism which gave an impetus to youthful ambition and a promise grasped by the orator which I hoped at that early period might at some time be realized in the future, and that the bud might ttower into something that should have at least, if not a national, a state recognition. From that hour to this, during the whole of the thirty years, without any varying or change, in every appearance that I have made in public life upon any question, there lias been a loyalty and an appreciation far beyond my merit from the press of Buffalo that I came here to-night to acknowledge. [Applause.]

But in my contact with journalism it has been my fortune to be on the most intimatn and cordial terms with three other factors in journalism, not only of the Empire state, but of the nation— Horace Greely, Henry J. Raymond and Thurlow Weed. [Applause.] My re­-

latione to them were the relations of a youth to the old men who had passed their prime, who had made their career and won their fame. It was a relation where the youth, full of ambition, fired with life, looked up to them as geniuses who had accomplished phenomenal success, with the ardor, enthusiasm, and the worship with which the disciple follows the apostle. It was that which led me to follow eagerly, reckless of the future, and I have no regrets for the following. [Applause.]

To see Horace Greeiey penningan editorial in his sanctum was to see~a cataclysm of nature—it was to see on® of those great and magnificent creatures which can only be represented to the casual traveler in the Alaskan waters who looks at the glacier, miles along the front, thousands of feet in height, hundreds of feet above the ocean, aa it slides gradually from the summit over the cliff, and finally, when it has reached almost a continent in strength, plunges into the ocean and the iceberg is born. [Applause.]

To interrupt Horace Greeley when he was in the throes of bringing forth an editorial—an editorial which has never been equalled in the journalism of America—an editorial which was a slo gan for his party, a thunderbolt for his foes—was a danger which no friend, no enemy, none but a fool, dared to encounter. [Applause.] I was once in his editorial sanctum when the fool was there. [Laughter.] To relieve your apprehension I was not the fool. [Renewed roars.] But he was one of those itinerant and persistent gentlemen with a subscription*' book. [Laughter.] He kept presenting it while old Horace was writing—aa most of you remember, with his pen way up to hiB chin, like this (illustrating), and Horace had a habit.,, when any ono would interrupt, of kicking, and so he kicked at the subscription fiend. Finally, when he-found that he could not get rid of the intruder by this means, he stopped in the middle of Ti sentence, turned round, and said raspingly in that shrill voice of his: "What do you want? State it quick, and state it in the fewest possible words." "Well," said the subscription fiend, "I want a subscription, Mr. Greely, to prevent thousands of my fellow human beings from going to hell."

Said Mr. Greeley: "I won't give you a damned cent. [Roars of laughter.] There don't half enough go there now." [Prolonged laughter.]

My subsequent observations of humanity, and especially at the Chicago convention laughter,] have convinced me that Mr. Greeley was right." [Ap plause.]

TROUBLE IN AN IRON COMPANY.

•John H. Ionian Sued by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Kailroad Company. NEW YORK, December 10.—The Tennessee coal, iron and railroad company, of which Thomas C. Piatt is president, began an action in the United StateB circuit court against John H. Inman, of this city, to recover $100,000 and for an accounting. In the allegation it is set forth that Inftian was elected a director of the complainant's company in 18S0, and that he held office until April of this year, with power sufficient to. control its acts and to prevent investigation into his methods of cany ing on business. It is alleged that in the month of August it was arranged between representatives of the Pratt coal and iron company and Inman and others, assuming to represent the complainant's company, that the latter should purchase all the property and franchise of the Pratt company for 81,000,000 in bonds of the Tenessee company and $4,500,000 of the capital stock, which was to be increased from 83,000, 000 to §10,000,000. It is further claimed that Inman and others secretly procured an option for the purchase of a majority of the shares of the capital stock of the Pratt company at SI,1000,000. After the option was secured it Is said that the directors of the Tennessee company held a meeting, and that Inman and his clique carried through their plan of purchase. The $100,000 sued for, it is alleged, is due the complainant from a transaction involving the construction of a blast furnace in 1SS1, in which Inman is said to have received the sum BS a consideration for cancelling an extensive contract.

TO-DAY'S INDIANA DAY.

Seven!y-tbreo Years Since the State Was Admitted Iuto the Union. To-day is the seventy-third anniversary of the day when Indiana's name was transferred from the list of territories to the "sisterhood of states." Some interesting changes have occurred in the meantime, says the Indianapolis News, and (by the way did you know it) Indiana to-day is the sixth BtBte in the Union in size, population and natural wealth the first in public school facilities the first in the amount of wheat produced the first in natural gas area fifth in the production of bituminous coal, and it has the best building stone in the world, and produces more than Bny of the other forty-two state3 except four.

In the light of such history, and other facts equally calculated to make one glad he is a lloosier, many public schools will celebrate Indiana day to-morrow. At the Plain field reform school the governor will entertain and be entertained by the boys in the evening. Secretary Johnson, of the state charity board, will also attend the exercises.

BE WARY OF CHOOSING. GIRLS.

Marry On?v it Gentleman If You Conclndo to Marry at All. It was excellent advice I saw lately given to young ladies urging them to marry only gentlemen or not marry at all, says "the Philadelphia Record. A true gentleman is generous and unselfish. He regards another's happiness and welfare as well as his own. You will see the trait running through all his actions. A man who is a bear at home among his sisters and discourteous to his mother is just the man to avoid when you come to the great question which is to be answered yes or no. You need not die old maidp. But wait until the prince passes by. No harm in delay.

You will not be apt to find him in the ball-room. Nor is he a champion billiard player. He has not had time to become a "champion," for he has had too much honest, earnest work to do in the world. I have always observed that these "champions" were seldom good for much else.

Be wary in choosing, girls, when so much is at stake. Do not mistake a pfia9ing fancy for undying love. Marrying in haste rarely ends well. Do not resent too much the interference of your parents. You will travel long and far in this world before you will find any one who has your true interest at heart more than your father and mother.

The Philadelphia Star asserts that "truth whispered is more effective than nonsense thundered;" and truth it is that Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup is the best remedy in the land for curing a cough or cold.

AMUSEMENTS.

Miss Victoria Vokes appeared last night at the Opera house under discouraging circumstances, but despite, the audience too small to promote enthusiasm, and an evident troublesome cold, the delightful comedienne played with all the spirit which might be kindled by a crowd and with the vivacity and ability to be expected from one of the famous Vokes family. The. two little comedies presented, "The -Rough Diamond" and "Hubby," made up a bill of exceptional interest. It would be pleasing to have more of the comedies which require at least a little acting by the company and a little coherent work of the author, but since the plotless burlesques and specialty performers draw the paying houses one cannot have much legitimate comedy. In "The Rough Diamond," Miss Vokes, as Margery, plays the rustic maiden promoted to a title and fine society. The cold alluded to deprived the audience of the singing, in which Miss Vokes excels. Mr. Fred W. Sidney, as Cousin Joe, a typical" English rustic, had the only other part worth commending, but these two, and the Roger de Coverly dance pleased very much. The very lively comedy "Hobby," which followed, gave a much better chance to. all the cast. It was extremely entertaining and well acted. Miss Vokes displayed to some degree her fine voice, and fully her grace as a dancer. The audience, all there was of it, enjoyed most thoroughly the well written little comedy and the very attractive comedienne.

In a recent interview Miss Vokes said "I am not the eldest of the Vokes sisters Jes3ie was several years older than me and I am a year or two older than Rosin a, who is the baby of the family and 'Baby* she is called by all of us to this day." She tells how the family was first brought into relations with the stage, and relates how "first one of us, then the other, and sometimes all four of us, Fred, Jessie, Rosina and myself would be given littlo parts in panto mimes—the happiest occurrences in our little lives—and we took to the footlights as though we had been born there, and one day were described in all the papers as 'the clever little Vokes family.' That sealed our fate. Dear old Fred's trick of sending his legs over our heads was really the result of an accident. Rosina was in his way one night on the stage while he was doing a groteFque hornpipe—he was only a boy then, but we were by that time starred all over England as the little Vokes family—Fred sent his leg flying over his tiny sister's head, and the act was immediately applauded. Fred always was as sharp as a cricket at catching on to a

1

point, and for the rest of the week he practiced with UB girls until his legs flopped over us like the sails of a centerboard cutter, and when Vawdon was adopted as one of us he soon learned the same trick."

This evening occurs the long lookedfor engagement of Rice & Dixey's comic opera company, in their great success "The Pearl of Pekin," with Mr. Louis Harrison and sixty prominent artists in the cast. The production will be given on the local stage in its entirety with all the special scenery, costumes, bric-a brae, properties, etc. There will bo no curtailment permitted in any WBV, and without a doubt the engagement will be one long to be remembered as one of the most magnificent productions ever brought to this city. The advance sale has been quite large and from present indications every seat will be sold before the doors open to-night. There are a few choice seats left yet secure your seats early.

Knsslan Lady Doctors Handicapped. Russian lady doctors are being compelled, in consequence, it is alleged, of their advanced opinions, to submit to some very stringent regulations. Firstly, no medical degree is to be conferred in Russia on a girl who has made her studies abroad. This will do away with the RuEsian lady-stndents who now study at Berne and Zurich. Secondly, no Russian lady is to be admitted to a medical degree entitling her to practice publicly until she is 40 years old. Until that age she may only practice as a nurse in a hospitals and charitable institutions.

The Crunln Case.

CHICAGO, December 10.—It is understood Mr. Forrest will complete Ins address to-morrow and the probabilities are that the court will then adjourn until Friday, as Thursday is election day. Mr. Mills, who is to make the closing address on behalf of the prosecution, has been quite ill and it is not altogether certaiu that he will be able to deliver his argument on Friday. In that case a further adjournment may be neceseary. Should he be able to proceed, it is hoped that the trial may be concluded this week.
