We have not heard of the city officials taking any active measusea towards pulling the sports who frequent the gambling rooms now running wide open here. \V by is this so? How does it come that the gaming laws are violated, almost openly and with perfect impunity, and no arrests follow?
It is said that James B. Curtis is attemptiug to set up a job to defeat Bynum for the Democratic nomination for Congress in the Indianapolis District. The people of the District are not apt to gooff on this kind of a tangent; they are not going to supplant a man of brains, and character, and brawn, with Curtis.
One of the loudest mouthed and most blatant Republicans in the State Senate, during the last session, was Boyd, of Hamilton county. His mouth was always open and his tongue forever flapping; he was especially abusive of the press, and especially of the Democratic newspapers. On returning to Noblesville, after the session had closed Senator Boyd was arrested on a charge of has tardy preferred against him by Miss Ida Davis, and he is shown up as a bad man ; a despoiler of virtue, and a disgrace to the legislative body of the
The rush of seekers for office which was inaugurated with this administration continues unabated, and the warring elements have no perceptible effect on the number of callers on the President and his cabinet. In frost or snow, rain or sunshine, the march to and from the White House and Departments continues, and will continue until the outs are put out and the ins are put iu.
The newspaper that stretches the truth, if necessary, to sugar a preacher, politician, a business man, a prettylady, an old lady or a young lady, is praised to the skies by the flattered one and his or her friends, but if that same newspaper exposes the lewd, licentious, criminal or disgraceful words or actions of any one, the wrath of the exposed one and the relatives and Iriends falls with emphasis upon the daring dispenser of the news, and nothing is too mean to say about the sheet and its editor. The newspaper man's lot is not to he envied.
The tendency of the times is toward greater freedom of expression in political thought and action. The day of blind following in the lead of the political manipulator is fast disappea ring ; the people are reading and thinking for themselves. The boss who acted the role of guide and dictator, in past years, and was all powerful in steering ballots into the ballot box jnst as he deemed best has fallen into inocuous desuetude; he is powerless for either good or evil. The independent acting and thoughtful voter is becoming more numerous— the time was when he was an unknown quantity ; in these days he is a known quantity and his power is increasing. The lesson is obvious and the Democratic party is profiting and will continue to profit by it. The pledges made by the Democratic party were accepted by the voters in good faith and these pledges must be made good if the Democratic party expects to retain the support of the masses. Honesty in office and a bus-iness-like management of public affairs were promised; reform of the tariff laws and the abolition of sub sidles to favored classes were pledged : nothing short of the lulfillment of Jkr 1 5ji! satisfactory. The masses of the people are not interested in political parties because of the spoils to be divided amongst the favored few; the masses care bat little whether Brown, or Jones, or Robinson is appointed pork inspector at Jerusalem, hut they are interested in honest and econom leal management of public affairs and a fair and equitable distribution of the burdens of taxation. These ends assured and the confidence of the masses will continue with the Democratic party ; without them there is possibility that victory is not assured ; the thoughtful voter is fear-
less in casting his ballot.
One thing that should he done— ways and means discovered to wipe out and exterminate the lobby that has manipulated or attempted to man nipulate the legislators and legislative affairs of Indiana in the last lew years. A legislature without a lobby in control or attempting to get cou trol would be a novelty.

The Missouri Legislature has passed a bill to abolish bribery and hoodie iu elections. The hill provides that the campaign expenses of all candidates for ollice he limited to legitimate ends, and requires such candidates to furnish an itemized sworn statement of money spent or promised during the campaign. Fail ure to make a truthful statement ex pels the guilty one from any ollice to which he may be elected.
It is with pleasure that we note that Hon. S. E. Morss, of the Indianapolis Sentinel, has been appointed Consul General at Paris, Prance. The appointment is all the more flattering because of the fact that Mr. Morss did not pass his plate for the appointment to he dropped in it—in other words, the honor was bestowed without the asking. The position is one of the best in the gift of the President in point of both honor and emoluments.

The new tariff bill which is now iu course of preparation for considera tion at the next session of Congress will not he the personal work oi tiec retary of the Treasury Carlisle. The measure is being drafted by members of the Committee on Ways and Meaus, of the House, and Mr. Car lisle will give such assistance asisrequired in the matter of facts and tig ures from the records of the Treasury Department, that the hill may truly provide for a tariff for revenue.
The friends of free silver coinage may rest easy so far as the work of the next Congress is concerned. No action antagonistic to free silver is likely to gain a hearing iu the Senate as in the makeup of the Senate Fi nance Committee the friends of silver coinage are in t.ie majority and Senator Voorhees is Chairman of the Committee. The possibility ol legislation looking to the repeal of the silver laws now in force depends probably, upon two emergencies, one of which would he the enactment of a law more favor able to the silver men, and the other is the possibility of a financial panic that would force new legislation to

a feeling of unrest. Honolulu, March 29.—The uncertaiuty which prevails as to the fate of the islands, so far as the question of annexation to the United States is concerned, is having a depressing effect here, not only on general trade but on tho morale of the people, and a feeling of unrest has arisen. The inauguration of the new party, the Hawaiian Patriotic league, last week, having for its object the avowed purpose of maintaining as far as possible the autonomy of the country, shows how rapidly the opposition to annexation grows with delay. The officers and many of the members of the league were not at first strongly against the prospect of government from Washington, but dispatches in the American newspapers received here telling of the apparent doubt existing in the minds of the people of the United States as to the justness of accepting tho proposals of the provisional government are having their effect on the minds of the native Hnwaiians, and it is an open question whether a plebiscite would show anything like the vote that could have been obtained for annexation two
weeks ago.
The royalists openly state that public sentiment in the United States is changing in their favor, through the representations of Neumann and Prince David, and they give out that the queen confidently expects information by the steamer Australia, arriving here March 22, that her throne will be restored to her, though possibly with the condition attached that the United States will declare a protectorate. Meetings of tho Civil Rights league and of the Patriotic league and Native Sons of Hawaii are being reinforced by meetings of those dissatisfied with the course pursued by the provisional government in making its appointments. The patriotic league lias sent a delegation to the other islands to organize the people against annexation. Ashford is the vice president and virtual head of the civil rights party. □ There is a movement on foot to form a political organization in Honolulu among all the friends of annexation. Lists are being circulated about town and a large number of the supporters of the provisional govc -tment have signified their willingne- to join the society. As soon as a .v icient number of names have been -. cured a massmeeting will be held The lists are headed as follows: ‘For the purpose of stipp, • iu? the proviston-
