REPUBLICAN MEETINGS-

Pursuant to tlieolliclal call. Issued by the Indiana Republican state central committee, the llepuhl! cans ot Vlt£0 county, and all others who desire to cooperate with the Kepubllcan party therein are requested to meet in the various ward* and town ships throughout the county, on Saturday, January lltli, 18)0, for the transaction of the following business:

Ohio

Third ward, at Thomai' blacksmith shop. Fourth ward, ut Wllson'i elevator. Fifth ward, at Lelnburger's grocery. Sixth ward, at Chaniper's hall.

Uy order of the committee, (iKOKdit W. Fakis, Chairman.

Governor Hill objects to the Australian system but believes in registration. The Indiana Democrats will hav^none of the latter but pretend to want the former.

The call for the.republican meetings in the county next Saturday, appears in this iesue. Every republican should rsad it, learn the pl(iC9 of the meeting which he should attend, F.nd ou Saturday arrange his plans eo that nothing tuny provent hia attendance.

Er-Congresemari Foran, of Cleveland, who has been trying to prevent the purchase of hia party outright by Brice, says he "has tried ft3 hard i3 he can to save the Democratic party in this state, but a good many other men don't se^m to cars whether it is saved or not." That has been the trouble all along with the party Too many in it don't want to tsave it.

Mr. A^oorhees fearing that Mr. Bynum by his Chambers resolution, is likely to make himself popular enough with the Indiana Democracy to become a candidate for senntor, is to take a tilt at the United States district attorney and Dudlev. lie has introduced a resolution into the senate speech.

and he is going lo make

General Clarkson iD to resign the position of first assistant postmaster general at the end of a year's service and return to journalism. When he steps down and out h© will be able to say that he has beaten the record in appointing to office men of the party the administration represents, and [^publicans everywhere will congratulate him and wish him great success in hie chosen profession.

The speech of Senator Morgan in the United States senate yesterday should be read by every one who has a lingering belief that the Southern bourbons are ready to join in any sensible plan for the solution of the race problem. It is not strange when a United States senator holds such views that his constituents are carrying out their ideas of the race problem by the uss of the shot gun.

The cases against the Now York bood'lSrs have been abandoned and so at last the purpose in electing Fellows to the office of district attorney has been accomplished. Since the prosecution of the boodlers became his duty there have baou one or two mistrials, and now after decorus delay, the man whom Glereland endorsed by letter when candidate for the office he has disgraced, abandons all the cases.

Governor llill has no use for the professional reformer, nor has the professional reformer for the professional politician of the llill stripe. To outsiders, therefore, they furnish considerable instructive amusement by their attacks on each other. The professional reformers had their say at Boston when r. Cleveland talked about ballot reform. Governor llill had his er.y yesterday when he sent a message to the legislature. He, too, talked about ballot reform—and reformers. The latter

wk.s

the peroration,

as it were, and like the postscript of a woman's letter, the most important part. It is well worth reading.

This is "General Jackson Day" and •we submit the following for the information of his admirers who are likely to be led astrBy by statesmen of the Mills and Cleveland calibre. The quotation is from a meBsnge to congress: COur political system [without the constitutional power to protect our mdiiftnesl would present

the

anomaly ol a people stripped of the right to Joster their own Industry and to counteract the most selfish and destructive policy which might be adopted by foreign nations.

In this conclusion lam continued, as well by tin opinion* of 1'io.kieiits Washington. Jetlerou,

Mrdlson and Monroe, who have each repeatedly recommended the exercise of this right under the constitution, as by the uniform practice of congrass, the continued acquiescence of the states and the general understanding of the people.

Secretary Johnson, of the state board of charities, -reports that there are 188 adult epileptics, and several hundred feeble minded persons in the county poor farms. In addition to these there are four hundred and twenty-on# insane in the county asylums of which number he thinks not more than thre* hundred should be sent to the insane asylums, the others being harmless and incurable, and being capable of useful labor on the poor farms. Mr. Johnson says that with the Bvansville and Richmond hospitals, with the capacity for nine hundred patients, sooa to be opened, the state has made ample provision. There is much cause for gratification in this showing, For many years Indiana was derilict cariDg for the unfortunates who were thrown into the county poor farms where, too often, they were treated, or rather neglected, in a moBt shameful manner.

THE OPENING ENGAGEMENT.

The opening "spat" in the house yesterday resulted very much in favor of the Republican Bide. Mr. Carlisle's objection to the delay in adopting rules for the government of the house was not well taken when it is remembered that he had not announced his committees by this ime two years ago. But when Mr. McKinley had remarked that the people did not care under what rules business was done so that it was done well and quickly Mr. Henderson had said that the minority were opposing legislation without rules and wanted rules so that nothing could bs done, and soma one else had remarked that the appropriation bill about to bo brought forward would be considered under rules adopted by the last Democrats house, it did not seem as if there was anything more to be said.

Hare was

fair contrast of the atti

tude of the two parties in th9 houseToe Republicans moved to proceed to the consideration of an annual appropriation bill, which had bsen reported to the house enrlierin the session than ever before. They were willing to consider it under th9 rules as framed by the last house under which the house is operating pending the report of the committee on rules submitting the rules for this congress. No possible party advantage could be obtained by so doing. Thereupon Mr. Carlisle, the recognized leader of th9 against party objacts and we see the first manifestation of the purpose of the minority, as declared by Mr. Mills some weeks ago, to control the proceedings of the house by interposing obstructions of all kinds, as much as they did when they were in the majority. This ia in line with the New Year's expression of Senator George of Mississippi: "I hope for nothing good at the hands of the Republicans. That their plaus may miscarry is my best hope for the New Year and with that of Senator Voorhees, who was not quite so candid or outspoken as that of the Mississippi senator: "I have no .hope of any valuable legislation for the country from the Fifty-first congress."

In a party sense the Republicans jhould ba rejoiced at the pasitions taken 'uy the two parties. The people don't bulieve in party opposition for mere party e..ka and the one thing more than all others they have been demnnding of their representatives at Washington is more work and less talk.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

St. l.ouls (ilobe-Democrat: Tlie free traders oppose the reduction of the duties on sugar for the reason, as they claim, that these duties are nine-tenths for revenue and one-tenth Tor protection." And yet the same free traders are howling about the dangers which the country Is In on iccoimt ol having loo much revenue.

New York Tribune: "How could there be any motive on Governor Hill's part to defeat President Cleveland?'' This interesting conundrum originates with the governor own [organ, the A.bany Times. One obvious answer Is: How could there be any motive on Cain's part to make things unpleasent for Abel?

New York Sun Dem): Mr. Cleveland Hands for free trade and for no other economic principle lntfrmedtate between that system and that long es tabllshed In tills country, and no additions to his programme of any "other reforms'' to which In tlie uncertainty of discouragement he may say the Democratic party "Is. or ought to be devoted an disguise the truth.

Philadelphia Ledger (Independent-Republican): There soma good atter all In having the Supreme court overworked. Justice Lamar Is so busv that he cannot tind time to deliver his proposed eulogy of Jefferson Davis. It is well that tills Is so, tor Justice I.amar, though entirely patriotic, could scarcely have delivered such an address without saying things to which no Justice of the Supreme court of the I'ulted States should give utterance.

GRAVE GROTESQUERIES.

"I hare met with a thousand and one odd fancies and curious notions during my connection with the undertaking business," said a prominent funeral director to a reporter the other day. "Indeed, I think it is aafe to say that ninetynine out of every hundred persons have and express a preference of 6ome kind or another as to the disposition to bs made of their bodies after death. Sometimes their requests are complied with, and sometimes they're not. Generally the preference relates only to some minor detail, either of the coffin, of the grate, or of the burial ceremony. Some people want a plain wooden coffin—mah:giny, walnut or ebony. Some want a metal casket. Some want their casket covered with black cloth, some with white. The desire for a certain style of handle is often expressed, and women are frequently concerned about the lining, wanting it of a color to suit their complexion. Some people, too, want their coffins large and roomy, others to tit exactly. "Very often people want to be buried in a particular spot, and give express instructions as to the direction in which the grave is to lie and how deep it must be. Then, too, some persons want a quiet, private funeral, while others are uneasy uatil promised that they will be given a grand and costly burial. "Alt these are matters that can be easily attended tc, and they generally are. But there are requests mude by people in regard to their obsequies that are extraordinary and in some instances ridiculous. I'll tell you about a few cases that have come under my own notice. "There was an old lady died a few years ago who had had a new and very costly set of teeth made juat before her last UlnesB. When she learned that death was imminent her greatest lament seemed to be that she should never havo an opportunity to wear those teeth. Finally a bright thought struck her and calling her Husband to her bedside she begged him to have her lips eo arranged after death that her friends would be able to see and admire her beautiful teeth. Tne old man promised, and almost with her dying breath she reminded him of it. We were summoned to perform the necessary duties after her death, and the widower, having explained the matter of the teeth, declared that his wife's request must be carried out. He had promised and could not think of deceiving her. We did the best we could. The result was rather startling, but toe teeth snowed, and the old man was satisfied— so we didn't have anything lo say, of course. "I remember another case of a middleaged single man who had been a great dresser—h regular dandy, in fact. He left directions that he should be buried in the last suit of clothes he had bought. As he was a man of considerable wealth, and hud left some very generous bequests to his friends, they decided to comply with his request, and his valet was told to bring the suit. When he returned he curried the loudest suit of clothes I ever saw. It was cf plaid two or three inches broad, and green, blue and yellow in color. With it came a shirt covered with pictures of bailtst dancers in every conceivable attitude, and a necktie to match. The appearance of these unexpected articles caused some consternation but the dead man's friends tinully decided to iet him have his way, and bury him as he had requested. The body was accordingly roosd in the flashy shirt and suit, a doghead pin stuck in the tie, a single eyeglass placed over the staring eye, aad the dandy was ready for his last restingplace. "Sometimes people want things buried with them. A lady whose principal fortune consisted of her many and costly jewels, made a great stir among her relatives and friends by requesting in her will that she should be ornamented with all of them when finally prepared for the grave. She had provided that unless this be done not one of her friends should receive a penny from her estate. Here was a quandary, but the matter was finally settled by placing the jewels upon the corpse, and then, after it had remained a few days in the vault, removing them. "I was onc3 called upon to bury a man who had at some previous period chopped off ono of his great toes. Just us I was about to screw down the cover of the casket his weeping widow came to me with a small jar, and said that her husband had expressly desired to bury this with him. 1 looked at it and found it was the missing toe, neatly and carefully preserved in alcohol. "1 never buried any one who had made his own collin, but 1 have hoard of such cases. Several times, however, I have sold people their own coffins, and in som# instances two or three years or longer before they died. Sometimes the boxes were left with me until needed, and sometimes they wore taken homeatonue. The most peculiar case of this kind I ever had was that of an artist who lived in a couple of rooms by himself over in the western part of the city. He had plenty of

money,

and his rooms were ele

gantly furnished, but all in the most somber colore. One day he came to me and ordered a collin made. It was to be black inside and out, and was to be large enough for him to lie in comfortably. Another thing he was explicit about was that it wus to be lined throughout with spring cushions. I made it and sent it to his rooms ae he directed. Four years later I was called to bury him. I then found that during all that time he had used hia coQiu for a bed—sleeping in it always—and he had left request to be buried in it. He eaid he had grown used to it and did not think he would sleep well in any other. "1 once had a man who was about to die send for me and order a collin. He was a very small man, not more than four feet high, but he uaid he wanted his coffin six feet long. 'The law,' said he,'gives "very man six feet of earth, and I'm going to have my full share.' "1 frequently have people try to drive bargains with me for caskets for their dead frieads. About the bset case of economy in that line I ever had, however, was that of a young widow who gave orders that her husband's coffin should be placed In the ground perpendicularly. A year and a half later she had another husband to bury, and h:s coflia was placed side by side with that of No. 1. At intervale she had more husbands to bury, and finally when No. 5 was placed under the sod no more 6pace had been taken than is usually occupied with one grave. She said it saved trouble, because she really had only one grave to attend to now, whereas it they had been buried in the ordinary manner she would have had five."—[Baltimore Herald.

NO NICKELS IN NEVADA.

Wliut Happened to a M:iu Who Attempted to introduce Tliviu There,

"This talk about introducing copper cents in San Francisco reminds me of the attempts made to bring 5 cent pieces into circulation in Virginia City," said General Daniel O'Connell to an Examiner reporter. "A dime has always been the smallest coin there, and the nickels that men brought in their pock ets from California had either to stay there or be thrown away. No one in Vir ginia City would compromise the dignity (.f the place by accepting them. Finally a dry goods merchant returned from the city with a hot of hulf-dimes. He didn't want to lose them, so he advertised a great 20-cent sale. Ilis scheme was to give the nickels in change for the quar ters that would be tendered for hie bargains. Well, do you know, sir, that as soon as the ladies got on to his scheme they just boycotted his place, and within two months he had to c1oe« his shop. That stopped the nickel business, and to this day a dime is the emaileat change you can get on the Comstock, If there is 15 cents in change coming to you you lose 5 cents, and if you com plained the whole town wou!J jeer at you."

AMUSEMENTS.

"The Paymaster," an Irish play of much interest and eome thrilling Bcenee, was presented to as good an audienc* as the weather would allow. This is one of the tank plays and as it usee a tank with about six feet of water, objections were made to setting it up over the stores beneath the stage. This did not pre vent the scenes in which it should appear being very effective. The hero, in prison under suspicion of theft, aided by the usual faithful Irifih follower, escapes by springing from a lofty window ae he jumps a sentry firee upon him and, it is supposed, kills him, but soon the whip-poor-will's whietle announces his safety. This

whi

where

the tank comes in, and in the fourth act the heroe'i enemy and accuser tosses the heroine to where the tank ought to be rescued by her lover.

Mr. Duncan B. Harrison, rs O'Connor, has a manly effective part, somewhat too declamatory at times, but still very satisfactory to the audience. Miss fcithel Douglas as Mies O'Connor does excellent work in an emotional Bcene. One of the most amusing parts was the Mrs, Harding, by Miss Smiley, whose name was omitted from the programme. The play abounds in the usuul touches of the warm-hearted IriBh characters, though with not much of genuine Celtic fun. A fair company and beautiful scenery contributed to the success of the play,
