Editorial Love Feast. The annual summer meeting of the Democratic Editorial Association of Indiana, field at Lake Maxinkuckee, on June 27 and 28, was a pleasant disappointment to all interested in the welfare of the Democratic party, and a sad disappointment to the Republican press and politicians of the State. The hope of the Republicans, and they had faith to believe that their hopes would materialize, was that the bimetallists monometallists in the ranks of the Democratic newspapers of Indiana would proceed to business on the Killkenny Cat plan, and that when the convention closed there would be an unbridgeable chasm opened between factions of the Democratic party on the financial question. Their hopes and their faith were unfounded; the Democratic newspaper people were too old to be caught; harmony prevailed with a big H; yea, not only harmony, but the very best and merriest feelings were made manifest, and a general confidence in future success at

the polls was felt.

The attendance was the largest for many years, impressing the truth of the fact that much interest was felt in the work of the convention; prominent Democrats, outside the newspaper profession, were on hand to see and hear what was done, and there was a large Republican contingent present to take advantage if possible, of the proceedings, for

party purposes.

The first session of the convention was held on Thursday night, when the new president, 8. B. Boyd, Esq., of Washington, delivered his inaugural address—his effort was conservative and well timed, dealing with Democratic principles upon which all Democrats agree, and pointing out the uselessness and lack of wisdom there would be in making a war

over differences of

opinion on subjects that may be harmonized before there is necessity of formulating party declara-

tions thereon.

At the close of his address committees were appointed on resolutions, on credentials and on Atlanta

Exposition, as follows:

Committee on Eesolutions—B. F. Louthain, Logansport Pharos; J. O. Behymer, Tipton Times; W. G. Ball, Terre Haute Gazette; F. A. Arnold, Greencastle Star Press; A. J. Dipboye,

Columbus Herald.

Committee on Atlanta Exposition— B. F. Louthain, Logansport Pharos; C. W. Welman, Sullivan Times; Lewis Holtman, Brazil Democrat. Committee an Credentials—W. R. Slinkard, Bloomfield Democrat; Lewis Holtman, Brazil Democrat; J. B. Stoll, South Bend Times; J. C. Gorman, Princeton Democrat; F. A. Haimbangh, Miami County Sentinel. Committee on Constitution—F. A. Arnold, Chairman; F. D. Haimbaugh, J . P. Dunn, A. J. Dipboye and Josiah

Gwin.

On Frida} 7 morning the session was opened by reading a letter from Hon. John G. Shanklin of the Evansville Courier, who was to have delivered the first address. He declared for and made argument in favor of the immediate free and unlimited coinage of silver, independent of any and alii surroundings, declaring that such a policy would be of great benefit to the masses, and no possible harm

could result.

Next was an address on the subject of international bimetallism, by Jacob P. Dunn, of the Indianapolis Sentinel —it was a scholarly paper, giving token of great research and discrimi-

nating thought.

Hon. John B. Stoll, of the South Bend Times, made the closing address, upon “The Path to Victory.” His effort was conservative and able in argument, above criticism from a literary standpoint, and discriminating and pleasing all along the line. The silver question was presented fairly, i and the antagonistic legislation | thereto by the Republican party was

allowed the brethren on

tials.

The report of the committee on resolutions was then called for—intense interest was manifest, and there was a general moving up of the pencil pushers who were anxious for the report and eager for the fray which they supposed would follow its

reading.

B. F. Louthain, of the Logansport Pharos, rose and proceeded to read, first, a tribute of respect to the memory of Eli F. Brown, deceased, late oi the Frankfort Crescent; 2d, a resolution in regard to the address of President S. B. Boyd; 3d, a resolution o f thanks to the Vandalia R. R., and commendatory of the physical condition of the line and its magnificent train service, and next, a resolution declaring in favor of revision of the constitution of the organization and asking that effort be made to secure more attention to the business end of newspapers in the preparation of future programs. Mr. Louthain then called upon Mr. W, C. Ball, of the Terre Haute Gazette, to road the remainder of the report of the committee on resolutions, which we print in full below. The reading was accompanied by loud and broad smiles upon faces that a minute before had been remarkable for stern expression of a determination to do or die; and as the reading progressed the eyes of the free and anti-free silver men began beaming upon ea2h other with looks of love of the too-too-awfu!ly-too sort, and at the close of the reading there was round after round of applause, and peal after peal of laughter. The report was adopted unanimously and the convention ad-

journed.

The monetary resolutions adopted were as follows: “Whereas, there appears to he » large and varied assortment of opinions on the money >luestion among the members of the association, and each one seems to think that all that is needed to bring his brothers into agreement with him is further study of the question on the part of the latter, and as each and all doubtless concur in this, there-

fore,

That, as in the regular pursuit of their profession the several members of this association are frequently compelled to form and express opinions on intricate and perplexing questions, without such opportunity for con - sideration of them as is desireable, and as they desire, it is a positive pleasure to them in there collective capacity as this association to not be compelled by any present exigency to make a formal declaration of positive principles. “Resolved, That nothing should be done on any day that does not have to be done on that day, and that can be done better to-mor

row,

"That if one does not really have to cross a swollen stream at once, if the bridge span ning it is shaky, and in need of repair, and is being repaired, and if, besides, the stream is falling and gives promise of being in such coudition that it may be forded or crossed dry-shod before one needs to be on the other side, it is the part of wisdom to camp under the olive branches in the shady grove on this side of the river. “That wo denounce everything that the Republicans have done or left undone which shows there is no health in them, and point with pride to all Democratic politics ard achievements that we are proud of individually and collectively. As both lists are too long for enumeration at a session limited to two days, the members are advised to (ill in at leisure and are herewith given leave to print from time to time. “That Lake Maxinkuckee is a charming summer resort and that the band which plays on one of the boats is without pier and ought to be uu-ti-i It has us much time to practice as the members of this association propose to take for a study of the financial question.”

Awful Effect of the Beautiful Upoi pie Way Down South. Any person who haslivedin con where snow is an ordinary circum* and condition of the winter i must, if he had witnessed the extr.. nary behavior of the people of New Orleans in the snowstorm, have been thoroughly astonished, says the New Orleans Picayune. The falling of the feathery flakes seemed to have operated on the people like wine, and from the highest tc lowest, young and old, grave and I the dignified and the comical, re' in the unwonted conditions and fe pelting each other with snowballs i they had been a gang of schoolboy The result of this midwinter r ness was that ever} 7 person who pa along the streets was unmercii pelted, and in many eases no consid tion was shown to age, sex or eondit There were men who were postei. street corners with magazines of sn balls ready to fall upon the unwary passenger, whether on foot or in vehi-

cles.

Many of these balls had been dipped in water and compressed until they were solid lumps of ice, and when they struck a victim about the head and face indicted severe injury 7 . One gentleman who was passing on Gravier street, near the Citizens' bank, got a blow in the eye which may cost his sight, and many others were knocked down and otherwise injured. Glasses in windows of houses, of street cars and of private carriages were broken by the volleys oi balls and nobody was safe from attack. The people afflicted with this snow madness, although nuiny were respectable citizens, did not seem to realize that they were violating private rights or disturbing the peace, or, if they did, they were too intent on making the most of an opportunity which occurs only at long intervals to pelt all comers without fear of punishment, tc

care.

In countries where snow is common every winter there are ethics of snowballing, just as well as of any other sport or business. 'Phere the fun is only indulged in between friends and acquaintances who consent to liberties taken, while to strike a stranger or an unwilling person with a snowball is as much an assault as would be striking with a stone. Of course some allowance must be made here for the ex traordinary excitement caused by so rare an occurrence as a snowfall, but even the maddest of the revelers ought to understand that a ball of ice or one mixed with mud, lumps of coal and oyster shells is capable of inflicting serious wound upon the head and face, and the deliberate use of such missiles is more like an act of malice than sport.

Deceased was a loving husband, kind and obedient son, and devoted brother; he leaves a wife, aged father and mother, four brothers, four sisters and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his loss.

The Bimetallic league has already collected over $250,000 for its propaganda. Among the subscribers are two directors of the bank of England and a number of firms distinguished in British finances. Still more significant is the feverish activity of the monometallists in opposition to this bimetallic movement. For the first time in a generation the growth of a bimetallic sentiment in England is so strong as to require organized opposition. Now what ought Americans to do under such circumstances? The time is manifestly ripe or ripening when European nations, with England at their head, will be ready to join with us, in an effort to restore silver as a money metal under an international agreement which shall rob the restoration of all elements of danger. Is it the part of wisdom at such a time for us to undertake independent free coinage? Is it wise for us on the other hand now to determine upon a policy of gold monometallism at a time when the international bimetallism that wo have been so long seeking is so nearly within our grasp? Is it not rather our policy and our duty to wait and to encourage in every possibly way the new international conference which Germany wants and for which England is manifestly preparing?—New Y'ork

In tbeir mountainous country they pass along the word from summit to summit by the unaided strength of their lungs. Regular relays are said to be established for receiving and dispatching news. This Is patterned after the use of couriers in more level countries. The author of "The Cruise of the R. Y. S. Eva” speaks of this habit of the Albanians as n national peculiarity. They cannot say their say when they are near each other, but must always wait till they pet to the top of two hills to begin to talk. You march along after your Albanian guide and meet another; they may perhaps kiss, clasp hands, mutter a few words and pass on, or, not unlikely, they pass without the slightest notice. On yon go end forget that you met anybody, when suddenly, on arriving at the top of a hill, your guide turns round and sings out: “0 Georgio, Georgio-j-^-o^'or whatever hiij name may l>e, spinning out the las{ syllable to great length. The echo has hardly died away before you hear the answer. Talk has begun, and you-had better sit down, unless you do not mind proceeding alone, for move they will not until their say is over, and you may have to exercise your patience for half an hour. There is no question that this longtalking propensity is a great bore, not only for the loss of time it occasions, but because the noise Is enough to disturb every heai> of game in the country.

It Was Constructed of Iron and Is Still In Running Order. About three hundred and seventyfive 3’ears ago the first watch was made, and it is still in running order. Clocks were made long before watches, the year 900 niter Christ being about the time when clocks with wheel works, the power being given by 7 hanging weights, were first made. But these timeplecer, were stationary. Later on smaller clocks were made, but it was not until the beginning of the sixteenth century that an ingenious locksmith of Nuremberg constructed a portable watch made entirely of iron. A private collection recently brought to New York from Berlin contains the first watch that was ever made, and one that is still in working order—an iron watch of Peter Ilcnlein, now universal ly accepted as the inventor of the pock et watch, who was a locksmith of Nuremberg, and was born in 1480. The present watch was made certainly not later than 1520. The works are entirely of iron. The back ot the case and the cover, which are of bronze, and the dial, arc beautifully ornamented with arabesques of ingenious design, cut into the surface and delicately chased. The dial is divided into twelve hours, but has no minute marks on the spaces. Above the figure 13 thcry is a small thorn, and above each of tho otlier figures a small knob, for convenience ol feeling tho time at night. The early watches had but one hand, the hour hand and the mainspring, of hardened iron, had no casing, but was merely confined by four pillars supporting the back plate v
