letters to the editor. A Miner's Side of the Story •% the Editor of tlie Indianapolis Journal: Would you permit a few words from one •low personally interested in the welfare of the miners of Clay county. It would be well /or the people of Indiana to understand the conditions under which the miners here labor and the difficulties with which they have to contend in their efforts to earn bread and butter enough to keep soul and body together. Digging coal is about the hardest labor performed in this section of the country, and by far the most dangerous'work. The Brazil block coal is very difficult to get out, the veins in this district ranging from three feet to four feet ten inches. Our pay for digging has been $1 per ton, there being no difference made to correspond with the height of the coal. The miner who has to work in the three-foot vein works at a much greater disadvantage than does he who operates in a vein four feet thick or upward. Does anybody think that is fair? There are many who declare that $1 per ton is enough to pay for mining it, while at the same time those who say so may never have seen a coal mine, and could not tell what coal looked like unless they saw it on top of ground. Go down in the mine if you want to see how and where we have to toil in total darkness from morning till night for the sake of making a livelihood for ourselves and our families. Take a view of the roadway (the entries) and you will be surprised to see w’hat a miner is compelled to lose from his day’s labor. One dollar per ton would be enough if we got pay for all we dig and send out of our “rooms.” But I, for one, will say emphatically that we do not get credit for ail the coal we dig. Why is it? Simply this: On loading a pit-car we may load all right, but there is almost sure to be a bad place in the road where it jerks the car around and causes you to lose from 100 to 500 pounds from one small car which you load and expect to get to the top with 2.000 pounds. Besides this loss, when the car is dumping on top into the “flat” standing on the scales, if the “flat” is nearly full, some of your coal is bound to jump over the side and fall to the ground, where, of course, it lies, nobody being present who is interested in putting it back to be weighed and credited. When the hoisting is finished, this coal, as well as that along the roadways down in the mine, is cleaned up and credited to the company. It seems, therefore, that even a child must see how we are daily defrauded of our just dues. Nothing lias been accomplished to reform this abuse, though we have tried repeatedly. From this it will be seen why the reduction of fifteen cents per ton for mining coal, after March 1, is particularly severe. Nearly every miner was expecting a small reduction this spring, but we did not think that the operators would ask as much as fifteen cents on the ton. At the same time the coal companies do not promise us work any steadier than before. They simply say: “We will pay eighty-five cents per ton —no more—and don’t care whether you go to work or not.” Let me ask if there is a coal operator in Clay county with from $5,000 to $25,000 invested who wants to see that money lying idle? There is not one. Nor is there a miner among us who wants to work simply that his employer may thrive on his labor. The operators live, and so must the miners and their families. I venture to say that not an operator can be found who would be willing to undertake to support bis family in the meanest manner on the highest average pay of the miners. His earnings will not exceed from $33 to $35. This must support a man, wife and four or five children. I Will conclude by asking the people of Indiana to bestow their sympathy where it belongs. Os the 2,100 miners in Clay county 1,980 are willing to compromise and go back to work at a reduction of ten cents per ton. The operators insist that the reduction must be not less than fifteen cents per ton. Who has the svmpathy of the public—the operator or the miner? * A Miner. Brazil, March 7. Free Will sky. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal! You and some of your correspondents express suprise that the temperance people who entertain such a horror of drunkenness, and labor so zealously to overcome the drinking habits of society, should prefer the repeal of all laws on the subject of intoxicating liquors to any law licensing it. In taking this position we are aware that we are antagonizing public opinion to a great extent, as well as the sentiment of many who call themselves temperance men. Now, a decent, respect for this public opinion demands that we should give a reason for our antagonism to its mandate. To clear our path to this subject, we wish to relate a scrap of history that is yet fresh in the memory of many. In the year 1855, after a heated canvass, in which the subject'd prohibition was fully discussed, we elected a Legislature that, enacted substantially the Maine law by a handsome majority. It was approved bv Governor Wright, and took effect on the 12th of June. From that date till November following the law was as fully enforced as any penal statute on any subject ever has been in Indiana. At that date the celebrated Perkins decision declared it a violation of our constitution, except the repealing section, which the court held to le constitutional. Thi* left us without any law on the subject of liquor, but it also left the liquor-seller without any protection from the provisions of the common law, securing the citizen against the annoyance of nuisances and the public against places of immoral resort. Really. to our surprise, we found ourselves in a better condition than under the previous license law. In many towns and villages the dram-shops, unsupported by the authority of the State, found themselves outlawed by a healthy public opinion. Tiie temperance people *' .pted tiii* as the best state of tilings Hint we could have since we could not have prohibition. We were able to fight, the monster successfully by moral power so long as the State refrained from lending her Authority to give protection and respectability to the traffic. The Legislature of 1857 passed through its session and no effort was made to enact any law on the subject of liquor. Our theory was to divorce it entirely from legislation and politics. So we had two years more of “fre- whisky,” but at the next Legislature (1859) the liquor sellers procured the passage of a license law. framed especially to protect their business, as all license laws from the nature of things are. With this experience, we fee nothing frightful in free whisky as an alternative to our “well regulated license law.” But our opposition to license laws is not so v much a matter of policy as of principle. We . believe that the sale of intoxicating beverJages is wrong per se—is evil in itself, and all ®ts consequences—a crime a ninst God and humanity, and especially against the peace, dignity and prosperity of the State. To give the testimony on which tins sweeping indictment is found, would require a volume, puflice it to say. the traffic makes drunkards out of sober men—makes idle, lazy loafers out of industrious, thrifty citizens, and paupers out of their innocent women and helpless children, and criminals out of honest men—-for drunkenness is i- itself, morally, n crime, and carries with it the possibility of every crime. Moreover, the saloon system antagonizes all our educational enterprises. s well as the efforts to establish religion and good morals in society. Now, to us it scorns to be u monstrous ab-

surdity that the State should not only tolerate such a business as this, but should take it under its immediate protection and grant to it special privileges by alicense. We hold that the State has no moral right to license an evil that preys on the best interests of so-* ciety, and ministers to the public good in no instance; and that an offer to pay SI,OOO. more or less, for such a privilege, should be regarded as an insult to the State. We furthermore object to licensing an evil under pretext of restricting it in certain respects. The experiment has been tried with gambling-houses and houses of prostitution in several European cities, but with a constant failing to enforce the restrictions, while the evil itself enjoyed the benefit of the monopoly and the protection of law. The same has been true of every law licensing the sale of intoxicants in this country from the colonial days to the present t ; nie. We are surprised when we near sensible men talking about “astringent license law well enforced.” Such a thing is impracticable and absurd in its nature. We license a man to sell liquor, but restrict him as to time of selling and the persons to whom he shall sell. Now, he sells to make money, and it is his pecuniary interest to violate these restrictions, while he enjoys the protection of the law. His customers will not inform on him, and unless he is watched by an honest policeman constantly the restrictions cannot be enforced, and consequently the law in this respect becomes a dead letter, and should always be repealed. There are but few men who would consent to the licensing of gambling-houses and houses of ill-fame, under the pretense of controlling these evils. But why not, if this is the best way to control the liquor evil? Trie opium habit is rapidly gaining a foothold among our people, and will soon demand the attention of our lawmakers. Will anybody propose to license a score or more of opium houses in our city under pretext of regulating the opium abuse? If it were not for the fascination of liquor, of the money it brings, men would see the absurdity of licensing it under pretense of controlling, as plainly as they see it in the opium case, R. T. Brown. current publications. New Hooks. Ice-pack and Tundra. By William H. Gilder Charles Scribner’s Sons, New York. Bowen, Stewart &. Cos., Indianapolis. Price, $4. The author accompanied the steamship Rodgers in its search for the Jeannette, and this volume is a narrative account of the voyage. The book is gotten up in good style, and is interesting more on account of the subject matter with which it deals than any descriptive powers of Mr. Gilder. The voyage reached from San Francisco to the north of Wrangell Land, to St. Lawrence bay, where the Rodgers was destroyed by fire, and thence across Siberia, joining the survivors of the Jeannette, and thence westward through Russia, Germany and France, to England. The work is illustrated, and furnishes very entertaining reading. English Literature of the Eighteenth Century. By Thomas >crg*-ni*t Pearce. Hamer & Brothers, New York; Merrill, Meigs & Cos., Indianapolis. A series of lectures upon the title topic, delivered in Cambridge and afterward in Philadelphia. The author’s aim is not only to review the style of literature produced in the eighteenth century, but to show its position in the natural development of things. With this last object in view, some wellknown authors have been barely mentioned, and some altogether omitted, but enough is retained to give a comprehensive exhibit of the world of letters during tiie last past century.

Pineapple Sherbet. —Delicious sherbet is made of canned pineapple; to one can of pineapple allow a pint of sugar and one heaping tablespoonful of gelatine; chop the pineapple till itisvery fine, add the juice from the can, and the sugar, soak the gelatine for an hour or more, until dissolved, in cold water; then add half a cup of hot water; stir this in witli the pineapple. Let it stand until cold. This may be served with cake and ices at the close of supper. Coffee-cake. —Take a pint of sponge from the baking when it is light and ready to mix stiff, add a heaping tablespoonful of melted butter or lard, one cup of sugar and one or two eggs well beaten; add enough flour to make this the consistency of bread dough, let it rise again, or twice, if convenient; roll thin and long in dripping-pan, sift sugar over the top, sprinkle cinnamon on this, and pour just enough on the top to moisten the sugar, and let it rise again, and bake. Salad Dressing. —Rub the yolks of two raw eggs to a smooth paste, with half a teaspoonful of table-salt, half a saltspoon of cayenne pepper, a saltspoonful of dry mustard. and a teaspoon fill of oil. or a teaspoonful and a half of melted butter. To this, when ready to serve the salad on which it is to be used, add vinegar and a little more oil, or in place of vinegar use strained lemon juice; for ordinary purposes good vinegar is just as satisfactory, and is, of course, much more economical. Hominy Fritters.— Beat three eggs very light, add to the eggs half a pint of milk, mix with a pint of cold boiled hominy, adding it gradually to the hominy and stirring until all are smoothly blended together. The batter should be thick enough to drop readily from tlie spoon. A tablespoonful of sugar may be added to the batter, and a little salt. Fry brown in boiling hot lard or drippings, dropping it in by the tablespoonful. Drain well and serve as soon as cooked. To be eaten with powdered sugar, maple syrup or cream. Cottage Pudding. —Beat two eggs very light, add half a cup of sweet milk, one tablespoonful of butter, one cup of sugar, one teaspoonful of baking powder, and one. pint of flour; flavor with spice or with lemon; hake for half an hour. Serve with a sauce made thus: Let the yellow peel of a lemon boil for fifteen minutes in a half a goblet of water; when cool, thicken this with a tablespoonful of cornstarch or arrow root, which you have first rubbed smooth in a cup of sweet milk, then put it back on the stove, add a lump of butter;do not let the sauce boil, but let it heat gradually to the boiling point; just before serving add any flavoring von choose; a little wine is a pleasing addition.

THE COUNCIL. A Special Meeting Which Failed of It* Purpose. The special session of the Council last night, was something of a disappointment. It was expected that the ordinance graining right of way to the Metropolitan Street Railway Company would come up for consideration, nud it was understood that the meeting was called specially for this purpose, but after disposing of the general business a motion to adjourn was earned by a vote of 13 to 4. I. N. Pattison, city submitted a proposition to look up property which has not | been entered on the tax duplicates of the city, for 15 per cent, of the amount realized by means of the investigation, and upon the city attorney giving the opinion that under the laws of the State the power of doing such work is restricted to officers of the city government, the offer of ' Mr. Pattison was accepted. The aldermauic resolution directing the street commissioner to remove all obstructions from ! the bed of Pogue’s run within thirty days was j concurred in. The. resolution provides that the railroad companies and parsons having property along the course of te stream shall be required ' to at once remove any obstructions wnwiu they j may have caused, or it shall be done by the street commissioner under the protection of the police. The resolution adopted by the Board of Aldermen directing tiie city attorney to take any action necessary to prevent, the qualification of tin* proposed board of metropolitan police commissioners, and enjoining tiiom from faking possession of any of the police property of me city, was concurred in by a strict party vote. The Council also concurred in the Aldermauic resolution instructing the city civil engineer to prepare maps showing the obstructions to Pogue’s Run and the Statedifeh, which shall be examined by the city authorities together with a committee of citizens, with a view to deciding upon a plan for enlarging the streams sullicieutIv to accommodate the flow of water iu time of freshets. An ordinance was introduced making it unlawful for any driver of an express wagon to solicit patronage when standing more than six feet from the wagon to widen liis team is hitched. A special ordinance providing for grading and graveling the west, side of Peru street, from Lincoln avenue to Seventh street, was introduced. Tiie city civil engineer was directed to properl v number the houses on East street, between Morris street and the corporate limits on the south. The city civil engineer was instructed to make a survey of Morris street, from Dakota street to the White river bridge, and report, to tne Council an estimate of the cst of raising the grade above high water mark. James M. Tomlinson offered to buy one and one-liaif feet of the west line of the city dispensary lot, which belongs to the Tomlinson estate, lor tli benefit of the city hall fund, offering to give SIOO per foot for the ground.

Bloomington <fc Western Railroad Company and the Pendleton Pike Gravel Road Company, witu a view to purchasing their rignts to the pik-. t Petitions were presented asking for an extension of the lines of the Citiz- ns'Street-rail-way Company on West strecr north to Mclntire street, and on Pern street mirth from Massachusetts avenue to Lincoln avenue. Both petitions, with resolutions, were referred to the committee on streets and alleys. A resolution was presented by Councilman Dowling providing for the appointment of a joint committee of the Aldermen and the Council to prepare a declaration that the two bodies “do hereby secede from the State of Indiana, and hereby declare ourselves independent of any and all authority other than our own sweet will.*' The resolution was read, and the mayor promptly ruled It out of order.

GRAND OPERA-HOUSE —THE lIAUK CONCERT. Miss Minnie Hauk made her fiist appearance before an Indianapolis audience at the Grand last night, and met with a very complimentary reception. The entertainment given was termed ou the bills “An Operatic Concert,” and proved to be as interesting as It was varied in character. It included the efforts of Mr. L. M. Gottschulk, the well-known baritone, who sang in his usual excellent style, although ins voice is no longer fresh and strong; signor Moutegriffs, a tenor with a sweet voice who has a penchant for singiug flat, M’lle Pauliui Sali, an excellent contralto, and Mr. Constantine Sternberg, one of the most accomplished pianists ever seen iu this city. Besides being the accompanist (and this wasuo small undertaking insomuch as there was no orchestral, he gave two solos, his playing being marked by a lino touch and marvelous expression. Rig. Montegriffo appeared to tile best advantage ini he "Miserere” scene from “Trovatore” wirh Miss Ilauk, in which he rendered efficient aid, bir in the act from “Carmen” he was ai iff and unnatural. Miss llank is an accomplished artiste. Her voice is a mezzo-soprano of much sweetness and power. Her technique is faultless, ami her mutiner graceful and attractive. In the selections from “Miguon” she gave the audience a foretaste of her powers, and was complimented wi h an enthusiastic encore, to which she responded bv singing “Cornin’ Thro’ the Rye.” with much spirit and expression. In the act from Bizet’s masterpiece it soon became apparent wnero she had achieved her great repntatton, for her Carmen is evidently a performance of surpassing merit - the best, doubtless, before the public. Stic was positively gracetill in the Mandolin solo and Spanish dance, which were given with a delightful piquancy and abandon ami with much vocal excellence. The closing number was the lesson scene from “Daughter of the Regiment,” with Mr. Gottscliulk and M’lle Sali, which was very cleverly done. Miss Hank made a very favorable impression on the audience, and the concert was a marked success—a fact which must be attributed principally to the efforts of the prirua donna and Mr. Sternberg. THE SALVINI ENOAGE.M ENT. Signor Tomaso Salvini, the distinguished Italian tragedian, will appear at the Grand tonight and to-morrow night. This is his farewell tour through this country, as he will shortly return to Italy and abandon tne stage, and it will therefore be the last opportunity for his admirers here to witness one of his great performances. To night ho will appear in “The Outlaw” asOorrado, a part for which he is said to be especially fitted. The drama is one of great power and intensity. To-morrow night he will appear as “Othello,” and both of these performances will well repay attendance. The company includes Miss Marie Prescott (who will bo favorbly remembered as the Empress Faustina in “The Gladiator” when Salvini visited Indianapolis two years ago), Mr. Lewis Morrison, Miss Adele Belgarde, Miss Virginia Buchanan, Mr. I. H. Fitzpatrick and Mr. Arohia Cow per. At the matinee to-morrow a special performance of Wilkie Collins’s sensational drama, “Tiie New Magdalen,” will lie given, witu Marie Prescott in the role of Mercy Merrick. NOTES, Signor Salvini and his manager, C. A. Chizzola, occupied a box at the Grand last night, ami the great tragedian apoareutly took much delight iu the concert.
