HOPE REPUBLICAN. By Jay C. Smith. HOPE INDIANA A bronze statue of Roscoe Conklin# will be erected at the southeast corner of Madison Square, New York, this summer. The statue was presented to the city by Levi P. Morton, Clarence A. Seward, Cornelius Bliss and other wealthy Republicans . A most remarkable exhibition of the innate sense of justice that is inherent in all men was afforded by some English forge workers who recently went on a strike over some fancied wrong. Becoming convinced that they had no just cause or grievance they promptly returned to work and voluntarily paid their employei’S £25 indemnity for the loss caused by their ill-advised action. This spirit of forbearance and a desire for only what Is right, if applied to the actions of employer and employe, would speedily settle all disputes of this character in all couu - tries. A down-east Yankee has evolved a great scheme. His idea is that the commercial reverses which at intervals overtake the country are largely due to extravagance in the purchase of unnecessary articles. In his list of unnecessary merchandise he names as the most important'items, floors, shoes and carpets. He advocates the wearing of wooden shoes to obviate the necessity of floors, thereby ‘•killing two birds with one stone” by doing away with leather shoes. In order to save carpets he would have small pieces of carpet tacked to the wooden shoes. His ideas are not likely to be largely adopted, however plausible his reasoning in their support may be. The New'Netherland hotel at New York, opened to the public June I, cost $3,000,000 and is seventeen stories high. It is furnished throughout like a palace. There will be no bar, but wines and liquors will be served to guests when called for. The building is a magnificent structure of yellow brick with brown stone trimmings. The walls of the main halls are of Numidian marble with bronze trimmings. Solid pillars of Mexican white onoyx on polished bronze bases support the ceiling of the main hall. Many of the principal rooms are finished in Mexican onyx, and the building is a palace fit for a King. Gen. Earle will be the manager, The structure is the property of William Waldorf Astor, this being the second gigantic, hotel opened by that gentleman in this year of grace. Recent London dispatches indicate that Queen Victoria is in a decline, and statements are made to the effect that she desires to abdicate at the beginning of her seventyfifth year. Rumor also credits the old lady with active intervention in English politics, and hazy stories are told of a personal altercation between and Gladstone over an honor list presented by the Premier for the Queen’s approval. It is feared in some quarters that the Queen is becoming insane. She undoubtedly has shown enough signs of mental aberration to give rise to great apprehension. She is understood to be obstinate in her determination to give the vacant field-mar-shalship to her stupid foreign relative Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, on June 30, her birthday, and as firmly resolved not to appoint certain rich Liberals to the posts of honor for which they have been selected by Gladstone. All information relative to Spain or the Spanish people and government is of especial interest in this Columbian year. Jn this connection, therefore, we note that the King of Spain, though but in his eighth year, is a lad of a diplomatic disposition, and already gives evidence of the military characteristics which in the past have distinguished the Bourbons of whom he is a descendant. His advisor, and of course the real ruler of the Kingdom, is his mother, the Quedn Regent. The government of Spain is a limited monarchy, the constitution for which was drawn in 187H. The pow-

er to make laws is vested in the Cortes, consisting of a Senate and House of Deputies, the Senators ■ numbering 360 and the Deputies 431. ! Senators are of three classes, those j nominated by the Crown, those holding the office in their own right, and those elected by the civil and ecclesiastical' corporations. In the election of Deputies, all male Spaniards may vote under certain restrictions. The Cortes meets every year, and the ministry is responsi- ; ble thereto. - Hon. John C. New, ex-United I Stats Consul at London, has returned to Indianapolis. In an interview in | New York, on his arrival, he is credi itod with saying that Gladstone is a ' vain statesman, who is not sincere 1 in his support of home rule for Ire* | land, and that he espoused that | cause, knowing that its final success could never be brought about, solely with a view of his own personal aggrandizement. Further, Mr. New says, home rule is not desired by the classes in Ireland, and has no supporters in England outside of a few unimportant and scattered districts. Gladstone was ambitious for the premiership,, and that ambition having been satisfied, ho will carry the home rule bill through the Commons, it will be defeated in the House of and there the matter will be allowed to drop. This information, from one who has been on the ground for four years, is no doubt reliable, but is not especially gratifying to many of our people who have allowed their sympathies to be enlisted in behalf of what they have been led to believe was a struggle of an oppressed race for larger liberty and of the almost superhuman efforts of the octogenarian patriot. The Kaiser continues*’ to exhibit very peculiar traits of character, and the general bent of his mind bodes ill for the peace of Europe should he develop strength of character and resources sufficient to influence the course of events in the channel that his impulsive will may dictate. His last erratic exhibition of a warlike character has been the presentation to his children, all under twelve" year* of age, of a miniature fortress, bristling with real Krupp cannons, surrounded with moats and earthworks, surmounted with revolving turrets, and completely fitted out with all the paraphernalia of war. The outfit cost $250,000. The present is certainly a strange one for young children, and would seem to indicate that the young Emperor is a sort of monomaniac in military affairs, and is seemingly unable to think seriously of other matters, or even to invent innocent diversions for his own children, but must of necessity impress upon their tender minds the grim realities of contending armies. Cheek is a common characteristic of American character, and conventional exhibitions of this trait seldom attract any particular attention. Sometimes, however, unoriginal genius strikes out in a new direction and the unpleasant effrontery is dignified by the term “gall,” the milder word “cheek” not being sufficient to describe the brazen impudence that is as natural to some men as to walk erect. A prominent citizen of the Hoosier cafpital, whose frequent tours to foreign countries has swelled his diaphragm to an alarm ing degree, on his last trip developed what is probably the most unique exhibition of “gall” that has eventuated of late years. Always having an inflated idea of his own importance, he determined to im- ’ press that idea upon the foreign nobility whose company he proposed to seek. Therefore, taking his family over to the State House, and procuring a photographer, they posed on the steps of that imposing structure for a family group, and obtained a fine picture. He also procured photographs of the new Marion county jail, a handsome stone building in process of construction. Armed with these woqks of art he set forth to conquer worlds unknown. Arriving on the other shore, he is said to have exhibited the picture of the State House as that of his private residence, and the picture of'the jail as that of a home he was erecting for his daughter who was soon to be married. The scheme worked to perfection and the enterprising Hoosier “got there” jn great shape.

INDIANA STATE NEWS. Indiana has T49 newspaper publications. Divorce suits are epidemic in Vigo County. New Harmony is agitating an electric light system. Shelby ville will put in a complete sysj tem of sewerage. An Elkhart chewing gum factory has a lady “drummer.” Plans are being drawn for a new theater at Terre Haute. Two cases of varioloid were discovered at Indianapolis, Thursday. Wayne county has at present twenty prisoners in the county jail. The army worm has made its appearance in the wheat fields of Knox county. Laporte saloonkeepers who failed to apply for licenses are being arrested and fined. The Walkerton Independent predicts a very large crop of huckleberries this year. The Martinsville school board has shut off the custom of making presents to the graduates. 3 Alonzo Meyers, of Richland, while hunting, accidentally shot himself in the abdomen, dying instantly. An epidemic of horse-whipping prevails at Terre Haute. The ladies are on the war path, and are “loaded for b’ar.” The mailing department of the Indiana mineral springs company, at Attica, furnishes employment for ten young ladies. The Midland, or Chicago & Southeast ern railroad, lacks about two miles of grade and nine miles of track of getting into Brazil. The $800 that was stolen from an express office at Peru, recently, has been returned. The guilty person will not be prosecuted. The Ohio river threatens to cut across the Kentucky bank a short distance above Evansville, leaving that city quite a distance away. Cedar Beach will soon be a reminiscence as a name, as the hotel people have abandoned it, and the postoffice is now known as Wawaseo. The latest among the gas belt electric railroad projects is a line from Muncie to Eaton. The right of way has already been secured. The 3-year-old daughter of Edward Livengood, near Lebanon, was choked to death, Monday, by a coffee grain lodging in her windpipe. The non-taxabfl? property in Marion county, comprising State, national, county, city and miscellaneous institutions, is valued at $20,595,000. The projected railroad from Sullivan to Indianapolis is attracting much attention along the line especially in the western part of Morgan county. Mrs. O. L. Prentice, wife of a Presbyterian minister of Rolling Prairie, impressed with the fear that she was not a Christian, has gone insane. The 250 workmen in the mechanical department of the Standard Oil Company refinery at Whiting struck, Monday, for a nine-hour day and ten hours’ pay. The new police superintendent at Evansville is prosecuting violators of the Sunday liquor law and Evansville stands fairly aghast over the innovation. W. K. Carlisle, son of the Secretary of the Treasury, interested in the gas bolt electric project, visited Noblesville, Tuesday, in the interests of the enterprise. Peter Keeley, of Muncie, filled his pipe with powder instead of tobacco, and there was an explosion which carried away his whiskers and badly injured his face. Alexander Hare purchased a farm near Noblesville, and moved out to live on it. Friday he removed to Noblesville, saying that ghosts haunted his country- home. The sheriff of Montgomery county went squirrel hunting, talcing the jail keys with him. In consequence the prisoners could not be arraigned in court, and all proceedings were stopped for one day. Burglars worked for hours in “cracking” an old safe in the Empire flouringmill at Ft. Wayne, finally using dynamite as an explosive in forcing the doors. They were rewarded with $7 in pennies and nickels. Parker and McAflee, colored, on trial for two weeks at Indianapolis for the brutal murder of Druggist Eyster in that cityin April, were found guilty of murder in, the first-degree, Saturday, and sentenced to suffer the death penalty. Ed Gant, of Anderson, has been arrested on a requisition from Arkansas, ho being wanted at Jonesboro, that State, for running an illicit dram-shop, known as a “blind tiger.” Gant left there three years ago, forfeiting a bond of *500 to get away. James Cuthberson. employed in the Jumbo mines, near Brazil, in tying up packages of dynamite handled the ends of the strings in his mouth. Soon he became stupefied, afid he lay unconscious all day and night. His condition has not materially improved. 1 While an excavation was being made on the premises of Warren Sivert, of Ft. Wayne, the skeletons of }wo Indians were exhumed, together with nearly one hundred silver buckles, a good-sized silver plate and many other trinkets, some of them of value as relics. The great rock overhanging the little river at Pino Hills, in Montgomery county, known as the “Hanging Rock,” fell with a great crash some days ago, carrying down its crown of trees and foliage. By the fall the little river is robbed of one of its rtlost picturesque and romantic attractions. John Hartman, of Franklin county,wl|o served in the war of the rebellion, discovered that he had never been discharged, and he applied for a muster out. Recently it was granted. Now he is disposed to claim pay for twenty-eight years of military service. Will Brookshire, of Ladoga, shot a mess of bass from the top of a hickory tree, says the Ladoga Leader. After permitting this “whopper” to digest the Leader

-explains that Brookshire saw a hawk alight in a tree with a fish firmly grasped in its claws. He shot the hawk and finding the fish in good condition, it was fried for his dinner at home. The Bedford Bank, Tuesday morning, closed its doors. The president claims that owing to an unprecedented heavy run on the Chicago banks,Monday, which had promised assistance, the bank was forced to suspend. Depositors are promised to receive full value for every dollar. The bank is one of the oldest in the State. The exact amount of deposits is not known at present, but are supposed to bo large. 4 James Hensley, of Nineveh township, Johnson counny.-owns a sow thatihas a litter of small pigs. A few days ago a bald eagle, from the wilds of Brown county, swooped down and captured one of the porkers, carrying it off. Last Saturday the bird returned for a second installment, but as it fastened its talons on a pig the watchful mother sprang upon the eagle and literally tore the king of birds to pieces. Elkhart gave an enthusiastic welcome, Saturday, to Gen. James B. Weaver, late Populist candidate for President, and Hon. George L. Yople, of Michigan. It was a demonstration in which all labor and industrial organizations of northern Indiana and southern Michigan united, and which attested the growth of third party sentiment in this section of the State, Gen. Weaver spoke for several hours upon the issues of the day, and took occasion to predict the triumph of the cause he will espouse in the next campaign.

Postmaster Bennett, of Evansville, who is preparing to surrender the office to Jack Nolan, has received notification from Washington that the Evansville postoffice was declared under civil service rules. May 20, and that all appointments of clerks and carriers must be made in conformity to civil service rules. It is also stated that none of the present force can be thrown out for political reasons. The notice is in the nature of a bombshell to a number of Democrats who were counting on places under Nolan. A few days ago Mishawaka sat as a picture among the clouds, visible to everybody at South Bend. There was a rift in the clouds, through which the sun shone with great brilliancy, and Mishawaka was pictured to the people of South Bend at an elevation of about forty degrees. The mirage lasted for several minutes, during which time the most conspicuous object was the M. E. church at Mishawaka. Even the bricks in its walls could almost be counted, so clear was the atmosphere and so distinct, was the reproduction. Patents were issued to Indiauians.Tuesday, as follows: Jacob Barrow, Windfall, assignor to J. S. Moore, Muncie, oil burner; William Harvey, Indianapolis, carpet stretcher; Joseph S. Hill, Lafayette, tower wagon; George E. Miller, Peru, necktie; John J. Minor, assignor of onehalf to W. R. Teeters. Fort Wayne, automatic boiler cleaner: Joseph W. Netpery, assignor to Indiana Manufacturing Company, Indianapolis, conveyor; Robert E. Poindexter, Indianapolis, corn splitting machine; Marion G. Reynolds, Elwood, gas regulator. The Central Indiana car works was incorporated under the laws of Illinois at Springfield, Wednesday, and the shops will be located at Noblesville. The main building will be sixty feet wide and 1,000 feet long, and will give employment to 600 fnen. At these shops will be built and repaired all the cars, machinery and appliances for the Central Indiana Electrical Railway Company. Mr. George A. W. Klutz, of Chicago, chief engineer of thecompany, is now going over the field. A new feature of this enterprise is the proposition of Chicago people to unite'w'ith the Central company and make a double track the entire distance from Indianapolis to Chicago via Noblesville, Frankfort and Lafayette. An old-fashioned steamboat race is soon to take place on the Ohio river, and one of the boats, at least, is owned in Indiana. She is the Royal, a 160-foot stern-wheeler, belonging to the Ohio River Company, of Evansville. The Louisville people finally bought the Evansville people out for $85,000. The Royal will run against the Fowler for $1,000 a side, and the money is already deposited in an Evansville bank. The race will take place as soon as the course can be agreed upon. Both boats are very speedy, having twenty-mile records. A Jeffersonville boy. Geo. Mc.Elhenny. is the Royal's first engineer, and ho is now preparing her machinery. The matter is attracting general attention along the Ohio. Delphi has buried her most bizarre citizen. “Silent John” Kleisey, tor thirty years an industrious woodsawyer of that place, passed away last week, literlly dy ing of a broken heart because he was compelled to leave his old home. Kleisey came to Delphi from Switzerland, when a small bo/ with his father. Several years after his father was murdered at Huntington while enroute to his native land. Young Kleisey was greatly affected by this, but in time fell in love with a young woman and the wedding day was set, but the bride failed to show up and sent word that she was “only joking.” Since that time Kleisey has refused to talk to anyone and thus gained the nickname of “Silent John.” He was honest and industrious and left enough money to pay his funeral expenses.
