The Ne w York Herald, it is said, will try t,he experiment of issuing a 1 republican and a Democratic edition v.ith political matter adapted to the views of each party. The Capital National Bank at Indianapolis, has been authorized to resume business. It will pay deposition e one hundred cents on the dollar and start out on a new balance sheet. This is encouraging. After all the fuss among Democrats hero over the postoftice, Congressman Cooper seems to have come out on top. Some of his opponents probably overestimated their influence with 'the administration at Washington when they entered the lists with the Congressman. “If we have a Fourth of July celebration this year, it will be the biggest we ever had,” said one of 0 ;r citizens Monday. By all means let’s have it then. • We can do it and a.id it is none to too to begin. Less Dan four weeks remain. Other 1 wns arc ad yin; Using already. Lot us not be behind. Judge Buskirk, of Indianapolis, is doing right in assessing heavy fines, sometimes. as, much us .*50.0 for carrying concealed weapons. It is a i exjocdi.fiy danger- us practice. It has more than once resulted in a murder which would otherwise have been prevented. No fine within the law can be too severe for this offense. The season for the work of the fresh air missions in our large cities is about on. No charity is so fruitful of good influence as that bestowed i non children. And these sunny cays spent . by them away from the noisy hum of city- life, amid the pleasant scenes and the sunshine of rural, districts prill be treasured as one of their happiest in.•monies of childhood. - No one- who watched the veterans, members of the Gl. A. R. post as it fieri in to attend the Memorial and j Jcc'dratlou -Day sex % ices could fail t ' be touched with a feeling of mingled -pride*and sympathy. Pride —because here were men who had risked their lives to save the Union; who bad endured cold, hunger and f tigue that our nation and our 1 ernes might be what they are. Sympathy—because here are men who should have been in the prime of manhood yet almost without ex-, caption are broken doy/n'by diseases resulting from their service. Can iii yone look at these men and then say the country is doing too much for them? There may be eases o'. fraudulent pensions. If so, they should be cut off at once. But no loyal American will deny to the soldier who bore the heat of the battle, the right to a place on the nation’s pension roll of honor.

THE ARlnERIOAN .T1AI.AHV. Last Satuday’s Indianapolis News contains an interesting interview with Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, the well known neurologist. He states that nervousness is fast becoming the characteristic malady of the America people. The malady is growing upoir them rapidly from year to year. The proportion of nerve deaths in some of our busy centres according to statistics has multiplied twenty times in the last forty years. These deaths occur mostly among young people of both sexes. “This means that the Americans are fast becoming and very short-lived people; and if they were* shut in ou themselves for a few years, and without any influx of the vitality by immigration the publication of the census would send a pang of horror and alarm throughout tke land.” He attributes this growth of nervous disease to the climate. Plow or why the climate affects health in; this way has never been .explained. People coming from phlegmatic races, here become “excitable, emotional and irritable in a degree that is unknown in any other part of the world.” The two greatest enemies to national health are the “dollar devil and the school fiend.” The doctor holds that the long hours of study the multiplied branches taught, the fact that each teacher strives to gat the most from the pupil is blighting the flower of American youth before it comes fully in bloom. Young girls are the greatest sufferers. Pie says. “They study seven or eight hours a day, when two or three would be sufficient to keep their intelligence in training—and all for what? To spend their ■ after years on a sofa or in a sick-room, and to be a burden, instead of a help, to those dearest to them.” The dollar - getting evil affects the young man in a greater degeee. “Ho goes to business far too young, and he straightway consumes his vital energy till nothing is left but dust and ashes. It is often pointed with pride that America is the country of young men, and so it is. We quite usually see here labors and responsibilities borne by mere boys, which nowhere eisc would bo undertaken ’oy men under middle-age w That is very striking and interesting to the casual observer. But what it means to such observers as Dr. Mitchell is that America is the country,of young nvalids, young wrecks, young drug victims, inebriates, young maniacs, young suicides. The prematureuess of business responsibility and the frantic haste lo be rich and powerful, produces in plain sight what is nothing short of a frighfully general social evil. The most appallingcases of nervous disease that the doctor meets with are those of young men in the highest posts, who entered business life too early and suddenly ’’encountered periods of excessive anxiety and grave responsibility. It would have been a mercy to them if they had been street pweepers or coal porters, instead of railroad presidents or bank managers.” Tariff’s Should tie Rlado Cor DefftiUe K'csioilfk. The worst tiling about our tariff laws is the fact that they are not enacted for a definite period. livery item in every schedule ought to have a time-limit fixed, at the end of which it would expire unless renewed by express act. When the government places a certain specified import duty upon a given article, it virtually enters into contract relations with three, classes of people. These are: 1. The foreign manufacturers; 2. the importing merchants; and 3. the American manufacturers. This country is engaged, in a large foreign trade, and it is absurd to look with unfriendly eyes upon European manufacturers who make goods to sell in our market?. When we l;x a duty upon foreign goods we- create a condition to which the foreign, manufacturers fori the American market must adjust 1 his methods of production. We i serve notice «upon the importer, I through whose hands these foreign ,

goods pass, that his position in tho market must be modified by the fact of the new rate of import tax. Upon American capital and labor wo serve notice that their position in the homo market as regards that particular kind of commodity will be materially affected by the amount of discriminating tax levied upon the foreign competitor. When once the duty is duly fixed and has become a part of the working law of the land, it is neither good public policy nor is it good morals to change it capriciously. It amounts in morals to a breach contract with the entire business community. If the government chooses to prescribe the directions in which the industrial life of the country shall flow, it should enter this dominion in an orderly and a calculable manner. Otherwise, it should keep its hands off. Whatever arguments there may be for a consistent and well-estab-lished system of protection, there can be no possible arguments for a wobbling . and uncertain policy. — From the Progress of the World June of Review o£ Reviews. Tlie Cause of the Present Financial Distress. What, then, have been the chief factors in producing that disturbed condition of the money, that loss of business confidence, and that sharp collapse of credit, which filled the new record of May with a long list of business failures and suspensions, and which has inflicted a sort of paralysis upon tho commercial and industrial life of the country? First and foremost, in our opinion, this state of affairs must be laid at the door of our politicians. Their failure to settle the silver question in one way or in another is of itself sufficient to account for much of that oversensitiveness of the money market which has checked the flow of credit just at the moment when it was most desirable thatcredit,should flow freely in order to avert disaster. If the last Congress had repealed the pi'esont silver law, practically all of our recent business troubles’ would have been avoided. Our present monetary laws and their working, far from being of any advantage to the silver men or of any value for the future realization,of bimetallism, cither American or international,are of the most serious detriment to the silver cause. —From the “Progress of the World,” June Review of Reviews.

The Tribune considers it a cowardly un-American and unchri.vtianiike thing to do, and hopes that China will retaliate in a way that will teach our people and our statesmen that the brutal measures used in Russia* toward the Jews cannot be perpetrated by America against Chinamen with impunity.— American Tribune. 0 Oil* 111 BISS, HOPES.
