HAVE you heard any one recently asktor four years more of Groyer and '•lover.

THE Democrats are divided in Congress, aome are followers of CJrover but more •are uot. Grover's Congressional followers are uot popular with the people of "'.IT'S country as they were about all thoroughly defeated last fall. They are in better shape, however, than some of Cleveland's friends iu Hawaiia who are "being tried for treason.

THE action of the Republican caucus at .""udianapolis in declaring iu favor of put••Ziug the State institutions under party control will be a disappointment to many men iu the party, who are in favor of reform. Without saying at this time whether the spoil system is right or .wrong, this much is certain, the Repuban members of the State Legislature srho voted for the spoils of office violated •'he platform pledges. We think it would .i&ve been better for the party not to have made any promises in their platform than to have made them and failed to keep ~hcm. The Democratic party has one ?dvantage over the Republican in the matter of spoils. It boldly advocates rJje spoil system aud uses it for all that is *u it. The Republican party deprecates -&£id condemns the spoil system in the manaxement of our benovolent institutions, "-'tit is now according to the caucus, attempting to use it. The Democrats are consistent, the Republicans are in this ininsistent. Consistency is a virtue and ••(•"she Republican party iu Indiana will sii.Ter for the actions of their representa"tires in this matter, unless they conclude abandon the present plan and live up the platform pledges.

CLEVELAND'S gold bond contract is very nroperly bringing down the wrath of the American people on his head. Congress vKtS investigating when and how the con»'cract was made. It seems that Cleve-

Sand's former New York partner, Stetson •I'tad charge of the negotiations whereby ~#i)2,o00,000 worth of bonds were sold at a premium of 4 per cent, when 13 per could have been obtained and good .'i"iananciers say the bonds should command -v tf premium as high as 19% per cent. 'jTiius a clear gift is made to the combine isf English Jews and their assistants in •isiks country steered by Cleveland's former ijiartner, Stetson. There ought to be a fa?»od deal of swag in such a bargain. Who ,s£gwts it? The contract is a humiliating ace to the United States government and &<Ei« last clause is a direct insult. In io vzht) foreign capitalists, sellers of the gold .s .&g?ee and promise that they, "as far as in their power will exert all financial ..Z-es&lutsnce and will make all legitimate ef .ifinrts to protect the treasury o£ the United xSfcates against the withdrawals of gold i^ttstKling the complete performance of this ~*rutract." The idea of a lot of foreign -r/t«ney lenders talking about protecting iCfta treasury of the United States is in-

Lsad humiliating. What are Cleveland Carlisle for? Men who voted for -tftrover can now look at their hero beg*asLag a lot of Lombard street London -,-jS*ws to protect the U. S. Treasury. What iws? need is a genuine vigorous American ,st« President, who will see to it that we jatse*d no protection from foreigners. The jgifcotection these Shylocks would give the '^ZSreasury is the same kind that a wolf, ttiAnauld give

a

lamb, whose idea of protec-

is makiug the lamb go as far as pos-

-•-awfoJe. No these men are aiming, if at ..-•aJM within their power to fasten the single standard absolutely and everlast.z'jUGtgly on the American people and then trintsK. our life bloo.1 iu a financial way. KWIIiat we want is a double standard of j3ilv«r.and gold which would- better the *f«ruMtiou of America at once. "'Greed has struck down silver and a C^rferaxer dollar augments every debt and every price."

The Christian Church Subscription.

The committee soliciting subscription for building the new Christian church are getting along nicely. They have secured over $6000 from members of the church and on Monday will begin askiug citizens generally to assist in the building of the church. More, however, is expected from the members and the committee feel much encouraged at the liberalily skown. A building will be erected that will reflect honor and credit on our fair city and be a grand power for good in the community.

An Afternoon With Trilby Proves Delightfully Jintertaininsj.

Trilby entertainments are quite the rage now and are being given quite frequently in our larger citie°. Yesterday Mrs. Will W. Cook and Mrs. Dr. A. J. Smith gave a Trilby afternoon at the home of Mrs. Cook on East street that proved a great success. It was indeed a very pleasant occasion. All who took part in the program deserve to be praised for the manner in which they acquitted themselves.

We give the program as follows: The first subject being "Life aud Works of Du Maurier,a paper by Raymond E. Geary.

Wistful and Sweet," a living picture showing Trilby as she first appeared to the three Englishmen. "A Description of the Latin Quartier," Will A. Hough. "Three Musketeers of the Brush," a living picture showing the three Englishmen, Little Billee, Taffy and Sandy. "Ballad of the Bouillabaisse," a recitation by Mrs. S. M. Kraeer, who gave it iu a most beautiful and charming style. A living picture "The Soft Eyes," representing Trilby sitting as a model for a picture for the three Englishmen. Chopii'S "Impromptu" was rendered by Mrs. Frank S. Hammel in a most efficient manner. "Confession" a living picture where Trilby relates her past life to Sandy. "Hypnotism," a paper by Robert Thompson, in which he related a very interesting hypnotical experience that came under his observation while a student at Wabash. "Answer Me Trilby," a living picture where Trilby consents to marry Little Billee, after he had asked her twenty times to marry him. "Ben Bolt:" that sweet old song was sung most beautifully by Mrs. Anna Randall. A living picture, "O, Dou't Vou Remember Sweet Alice," showing Tr\ as she appeared singing under rlu nypnotic power of Svengali.

•. and Opinions

and Effects of the Book," a paper by Mrs. I. P. Poulson. This was a most excellent paper, well written and well read. It showed a perfect understanding and a keen appreciation of the work. "Svengali-Svengali-Svengali," a reading by Mrs. 11. A. Black giving that portion of the book just preceding the death scene where Trilby receives the photograph of Svengali, and under its hypnotic influence sings with all her wonted sweetness, and the reading also included the touching death scene. Mrs. Black's voice was very sympathetic and her reading was effective. The entertainment closed with a living picture, "The Death Scene," which showa Trilby at. her death.

The characters forming the living pictures were Trilby, Miss Alma Martin who looked, acted and was Trilby. The three Englishmen were ably represented by Robert S. Thompson as Little Billee, O. O. Souders as Taffy and Raymond E. Geary as Sandy, the Laird of Coc! -pen. The entertainment was something out of the usual order and for that reason was particularly enjoyable. Dainty refreshments were served to the guests aud ^11 felt very much indebted to the hostesses, Vesdames Cook aud Smith and their assistants for a most delightful afternoon.

Henry Johns Killed By the Cars. This morning Henry Johns who lives just east of Wilkinson, was driving across the Big Four railroad track between his home and the town, when he was struck by the 10 o'clock west bound train and both him and the horse killed. Mr. Johns was an active, energetic business man and engaged in the sale of threshing machines and running machines in the threshing season.

OUTGO OF GOLD STOPPED.

But Two Obstacles Now Interfere With a Kevival of ISusiuess. NEW YOIIK, ..Feb. 15.—R. OK DIM & company's weekly review of tra'le says: Another week of exports of i?cM and withdrawals from tho treasury have been almost entirely stopped by the contract for purchases of gold from Messrs. Belmont and Morgan. For the moment only business waits to know whether sales of American securities and withdrawals of gold from the treasury have been instantly stopped by the remarkable increase of conlidence.

The two obstacles which block the path just now are exceeding cheapness of farm products and restricted operations in the industries. There had been no gain in prices of farm products on the whole. Corn is nominally half a cent higher, but with insignificant, movement, while wheat also, with a movement hardly half of last year's, is a fourth of a cent lower for the week. Cotton, with continuing large receipts, remains unchanged.

Few words tell the old story. The corn crop is undeniably short, although probablv a much larger supply than oIliHal reports indicate. Wlcat aud cotton ."supplies are so far behind the world's demands that e.vncnu' low prices are natural and any speculation for advance is greatly handicapped. l\e~triered purchases by the west and south naturally result.

The output of pig iron Feb. 1 was IST.'-Wl tons, against JUS, 1J-1 weekly Jan. 1, but the stock remaining unsold were 71K,073 tons, against G4.Vi.jS -Ian. 1, and indicate a decrease of Ki.J-'i" tons iu actual consumption weekly during the month of January. The severe si onus ill February have further entailed production.

Sales of steel rails were only l.")0 tons in January, and the. weather has arrested structural work and retarded deliveries of all kiuds. But there appears a better inquiry for some finished products especially in wire, wire rods, nails and barbed wire the business is encouraging. Fig iron is unchanged in price here and at the west, though northern sales are pressed and the demand for bax iron is about the same. Lake copper is quoted at 9.75.

Continued dullness is reported in cottons aud a reduction of prices by the Amoskeag mills causes some hesitation. In the main the works are well employed, but with extremely scanty profits and considerable doubt whether the market will be found for accumulating stocks for some goods.

Trade in woolens is by no means satisfactory, though fairly large volume in medium and low grades, but prices have been generally reduced, and competition with cheap foreign goods is felt somewhat more. Sales of wool continue within about a sixth of a week's normal supply for eastern mills, amounting to 5,0(i8,-100 pounds, of which 3,595,(500 were domestic. Fine fleece are not stronger, and sales of Ohio XX are quoted at 1 \-'l cents.

Failures for the week were 270 in the United States, against 323 last year, and 51 in Canada, against 55 last yc\ r.

Gold !'uv the Now l!ondj.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1(.—Baring, Magoun & Company deposited yesterday $350,000 in gold iu the subtreasury on account of tho bond syndicate. Some of the subscribers to the syndic-ate instead of withdrawing gold for their subscriptions from the banks with which they do business, have made purchases from bullion brokers to the extent of several hundred1"thousand dollars at a premium of 3-8 at 1-2 per cent.

BRIBERY NOT PROVEN.

lCvidenco Against John IVIeHriilo of tho Miners' Union Falls Short. COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 10.—The first

order

of business to come before the miners' convention when it convened yesterday was the election of officers, but it was postponed until later, and this is taken that the delegates do not know exactly what they want to do in the matter of selecting men to watch after their interests for the next year.

The committee appointed to investigate the charges of Mark Wild against John McBride was submitted by T. L. Lewis of Ohio. It was as follows: "You committee, appointed to investigate the charges of bribery preferred by Mark Wild against John McBride, held a meeting and, after hearing all the evidence that had any bearing on $he case, we beg to leave to report that there is not sufficient evidence to prove bribery."

The report is signed by all the members of the committee. T. T. O'Malley of Ohio opposed the adoption of thes report. He said it was the same old Scotch verdict, "guilty, but not proven." J. A. Crawford indorsed O'Malley's remarks, and moved that the report be referred back to the committee to. return a verdict in plain language. John McBride said he would rather be found guilty than to have the convention accept such a report.

Tlie report was finally referred back to the committee. The committee retired, and was out an hour, but brought in the same report, and were again sent back, and is still in session.

Among the resolutions introduced was one declaring in favor of one miners' organization. This is directly in opposition to the wishes of the national officers, who have only recently assisted in launching the new Knights of Labor organization, which embraces miners the same as the old one.

Another resolution introduced was one inquiring why, if the officials favored the People's party last fall, they acted in direct opposition to its principles by favoring the operators.

{{Among

the. resolutions adopted were

he following: To require all members of the United Mine Workers to withdraw from the national guard to permit any district to adopt any measures of self-protection in case of a violation of the scale in another district to require all mine superintendents, bosses or foremen to withdraw from the order attacliing a benevolent department to the order, and requiring a part of the space of the United Mine Workers' journal to be printed in half a dozen different languages.
