LOUlS—Union News Company, Union DepotThis is State fair week, and it booms from the start. Bad men obtain office when good men stay ■way from the polls. According to Prof. Nordenskjold’s statement there is great reason to believe that Lieutenant Greely is dead. The natives so 6tate. The Washington Post and the attorneys of she Louisiana Lottery Company do not like Postmaster-general Gresham’s order. This is the full list of objectors to date. Dr. E. F. Hatfield, pastor of the North rresbyterian Church, New York, whose death is announced, was the Moderator of the last General Assembly, For thirty years previous lie had been Stated Clerk. A Republican victory is predicated in Ohio upon the fact that a large vote is almost certain to be polled. The same will be true in Indianapolis. If a full vote can be secured there is no danger of Republican defeat. The German Telegraph, sitting in a last year’s bird’s nest, chirps out its orders to Germans to defeat the Republican ticket. No present reason is assigned. There are too many Germans tvho are intelligent tax-pay-ers to be driven like cattle at the beck, even of the Telegraph. Here is something to think over: “The ballot box is the final arbiter of political opinion; those who do not avail themBel ves of its services are not of any possible value to the body-politic, no matter if they apeak with the tongues of angels.” The voters of Indianapolis should cut this out and paste it in their hats.

Which would be the best man to elect as Mayor of the city of Indianapolis—one who openly avows it to be his intention to so administer his office as to further the interests of his party, or the one who recognizes that, It elected, he is the officer of the whole body of the people and not of any clique, faction or party? He serves his party best who serves the people best. The Democrats have made a fine mess of the National Soldiers’ Homes since they have had control of them. We have already alluded to the fact that veterans are marched out of the Dayton home at the point of the bayonet for the most trivial offense*, and now come stories of gross mismanagement at Milwaukee. Since the wolf was placed in charge of the slfecpfold, there lias been no greater solecism than putting soldiers’ homes in charge of Democratic politicians. Mb. McMasteb represents the best interests of the people of Indianapolis. He is the nominee of those who desired only the best possible administration of city affairs. He stands, peculiarly, as the exponent of that desire. Mr. Bchmuck, a reputable citizen, represents nothing but a narrow and factional spirit. He recognized whence his nomination sprang whcn he said to the convention that nominated him that he knew nothing beyond the Democratic party, and would have only party ends in view in the administration of his office. Tub councilmanic and alder manic nomination* are about all made. The members who compose these two boards are the men who are (o spend the revenues of the city, l’iiey are the most important candidates to be considered by the people. The voters of each ward and district should use the utmost care and judgment in deciding between the candidates, keeping in mind the general interests of the city, as well as the special interest of a locality. Which man will act the most wisely and prudently for the city, should be the question intelligently answered by every voter. No question of national politics, nor even of State jK)litics, except inferentially, can enter Into the matter cf the city canvass in Indianapolis. The great question that the people of the city have to solve at the approaching election is one of economy, and that only. Whenever the Democrats have had control of city affairs the taxes have been Increased. They have invariably increased the appraisements and added to the rate. If the tax-payers want to add to their expenditures they should vote for the Democratic candidates. If they want to add to their expense account. by all means let fhein vote for a Democratic Mayor and for Democratic aldermen ind councilmen. If, however, they want to

conduct the affairs of the city as they would their own business, then they should vote for the Republican nominees. WAKE UP. The campaign is on, on everywhere, and the first skirmishes of the great battle of 1884 are to be determined within two weeks. What Ohio and lowa and New York and Massachusetts shall do will very largely shape and define the work for next year. Fortunately or otherwise, the people of Indiana as a State are but lookers-on rn Vienna in this contest, yet lookers-on with the general interest of citizens of the nation, the political future of which is so identified with the struggles in the States we have named. But while Indianians are but spectators upon State contests, there is yet a duty near at home for the citizens of Indianapolis, at least, and one the proper discharge of which more nearly concerns them than do these seemingly more important and more excitting elections. It lias always been a mar''el, and, so long as it remains as it is, will always be the danger point in the ever-pressing problem of municipal government, that while every voter is aroused to the white-heat point in a presidential election, the outcome of which affects him and his interests more remotely than any other, there comes an apathy upon the voting body which increases in degree just in the proportion that the election increases in vital importance. The election which most nearly concerns and affects the citizen and tax-payer is the municipal election, yet it is just that election which receives the sliglitest consideration, and at which the smallest number of votes is polled. Interest enhances and the aggregate of the ballot enlarges just as the election becomes less personal and more general. How to remedy this, and invert the ratio, is the problem in municipal government which engages the wisest minds of the country. Two weeks from to-morrow the people and tax-payers of Indianapolis are to decide the personal and political complexion of their municipal government for two years, and yet those most deeply snd directly interested in the result appear to be the most indifferent. The bummers, the ward “workers,” the men who are permitted to make a living out of politics, so-called, because of the apathy and indifference of better men, those who in anyway can see the opportunity' to make something out of the city administration —those classes, their friends and allies are all alert and their stakes are set for the work of election day. But the men of property and character, the men who pay taxes, the men who work hard all day to build up their homes and give added comfort year by year to their, families, the men out of whose pockets must and does come every dollar of revenue to be either well and economically or badly and prodigally spent, are in a great degree utterly indifferent. Two years ngo an unprincipled and lawless combination carried the township of Center simply because 5,700 voters living north of Washington street remained at home and allowed the election to go by default. In the preser.ee of such absenteeism any kind and amount of misadministration and positive maladministration becomes possible, and becomes certain just as the absenteeism becomes large and permanent. Voting is a duty from which no citizen can be excused without danger to the community; that man belongs to the “dangerous classes” who, by his neglect of the fundamental duty of American citizenship, permits bad men to get into office, allows bad administration to be possible, and exposes both his own and his neighbors' property to the spoliation of unprincipled men. We have no purpose here to go into details, and to say that this ticket or that ticket is the best, or that this party or that party is the best. Our purpose simply is to throw out a few suggestions for the thought of every honest and candid man, be his political affiliations what they may. When the great body of the people is aroused, when there is a full vote polled, when men go into public office and remain in public office in the face of a thoroughly aroused constituency, there is little danger. What is wanted is for every man to be ready for the discharge of his duty at the polls, to carefully consider the effect of his vote before he casts it, and then to cast it. In a full and intelligent ballot is there the surety of an honest and satisfactory government. •

A Lost Woman. There is a young man iu Brooklyn who can write himself down an asa without fear of contradiction. He is probably not feeling half so knowing as he did a week ago, and if Ills maternal parent does not make his life a burden for a season, friends of the family intimate that bo will want to go away and die when his father gets home. The father of the youth is captain of an ocean steamship, aud during his absence his wife attends to the business concerns of the family. The other day she went over to New York with $3,000 in her pocket with which to purchase certain bonds. Although forty years of age, she is a handsome woman and, sharing in the vanities of her sex, adorued herself on this occasion with diamonds to the value of $5,000. That evening she nid not return home, bur. her sou did, and, finding his mamma abseut, was greatly agitated. That night he did nothing further than to inquire of the neighbors if they had seen her, but next morning lie started out early and soon bad the New York and Brooklyn police in search of his missing parent. Inquiry at. the office of the broker whom she was to visit elicited the fact that she hud called, but the bonds not being ready, bad depirted with the money still in her possession. Tins made it certain to the mind of the gifted son that his mother had been waylaid and robbed or had been abducted by hardened wretches who might believe, from her indications of wealth, that a large sum would be paid for her return. The young man visited the morgues and made the rounds of the hospitals, conversing in the intervals with reporters eager for a sensation. These unprincipled persons extracted from the distressed youth the sdinission that there were times when he did not understand his mother, aud thut ahe might have wandered off and al-

lowed something awful to happen to her—he didn't know exactly what. Then the prying reporters found a discharged servant, who darkly hinted that her former mistress sometimes took more wine thau was good for her. This was enough, and for three days the papers of both cities were full of surmises as to the possible fate of the lost woman. Powerful editorials were written bearing hard upou the feminine weakness of weariug jewelry where thieves could see it and be tempted, aud the folly of any woman carrying so much money about at a time. Opporrutty was uot lost for the reading of temperance leoiuree,with the unfortunate Brooklyn w oman as an awful example of what Ruin, with a capital R, could do. Appeals were made to the police and detectives to do their duty and find the lost before the State should be lastingly disgraced. After everything suitable to the occasion had been eloquently said and everybody was talking about the affair, the mystery was solved. It suddenly occurred to the talented son that his mother bad friends in Jersey City whom she visited now and then without consulting him. He telegraphed to those people asking if she was there. She was. She had gone over from New York, had met with no accident on the way, and expected to come back when she got ready. Her son ‘was old enough to take care of himself, and she had not thought to notify him of her whereabouts. New York and Brooklyn papers not circulating in Jersey City, she did not know, until interviewed by an emlssa.y from a metropolitan journal, that she had become suddenly notorious. She has gone home to look after the boy, and should not let him go out alone until his little mind is stronger. Prominent citizens are now coming forward to testify to the lady’s unexceptionable standiug in church aud society, while the newspapers are getting even by calling tbe unhappy son bad names. ‘•Tub great secret” is to be had at the fairs this year for tbe reasonable sum of ten cents. The philantnropists who have it in their possession would gladly disseminate it free of charge, but they must make expenses, and if it is worth anythingtt is surely worth a dime to the purchaser, as they ingeniously argue. It seems a little hard to give it away for nothing in the columns of a newspaper, but as the buyers are not apt to be readers of the dally press, tbe venders’losses will not be great. The secret is contained in sealed envelopes. The purchaser tears it open, reads, and, going softly away by himself, says nothing to prevent future sales. Following is the secret, with accompanying remarks: ‘‘Never buy an article before examining it. If you had known this before, you would not have paid ten cents for a worthless envelope, when you could have got a dozen good ones for the same price.” Chicago cheek hae another exemplification. The Terre Haute Gazette says: ‘‘Senator Vorhees has received an invitation to a dinner to be given to the Right Honorable John Duke, Lord Coleridge, Lord Chief justice of England, at the Grand Pacific Hotel, Chicago, on Thursday, the 25th of September, at G o’clock r. M. Tbe invitation is extended by a committee el nosed of six very prominent and wealthy oitizeiLi of Chicago, and requests the invited guest, if lie accepts, to inclose his check to tbe committee for $lO. If this has ever been equaled for breezy affluence or cheek in tbe civilized world, we are not aware of it, and ->euator Voorhees says that, as there is not an Englishman now living for whose, company at. dinner he would pay ten cents, much less $lO, he declines the invitation. It would be interesting to know if tiiis is the way all the Coleridge banquets have been gotten up.” The same sort of invitations have been received in this city, and those who received them feel very much as does Senator Voorhees.

Youthful crime is not winked at in New Jersey by the stern representatives of law and Justice. At Paterson, the other day, a seven-year-old boy, while engaged in eating some cake, was approached by Master Leouard Folden, a four-year-old sluner in petticoats, who demanded a piece of the toothsome viand. The demand being refused, the hardened youth in kilts whacked the seven-year-old over the bead with a stick. He was promptly arrested ami taken before a magistrate on a charge of assault. On aocouut of the tender years of the prisoner, the Justice did not impose the full penalty of the law, hut reprimanded him and bound him over to keep the peace. Next time that boy may be depended upon to take the oake. IF the Massachusetts Republicans know what is good for them they will head off Governor Ben. Butler from the agricultural fairs. That unprincipled Joey Bagstock man is making a round of the cattle and pumpkin shows, delivering speeches calculated to win the rural hearts regardless of politics. He fells the assembled crowds in the most charming manner his Ann belief that farmers are the greatest and best men of the country,.and their wives and daughters the loveliest and best women ever sun shone on. The “taffy’' is administered in allopathic doses, but so deftly that only the sternest virtue can withstand it. Georgia fathers do things differently. Recently a daiignter eloped and married a man whom her father did not favor. A telegram followed them, not to have them arrested, hut to have them come back and enjoy a regular oldfashioned wedding-feast, which they did. A dispatch from Nordenksjold says that he arrived at Jnliunehaab in June and left for Ivisiut in July. Every means should be employed to Keep this man from discovering the north pole. How would Americans like to have it named the noord sti**ckl ABOUT PEOPLE. “Sixty millions of francs, and be did not reign!’' exclaimed Henry Rochefort on hearing of the estate bequeathed by the late Comte de Chambord. Tiie Hon. Hannibal Hamlin is about to present a fine public clock to bis native town of P*i is, Me., to be placed in the tower of the Baptist Church. The milk inspectors of Borton have found In some recent examinations 40 per cent, of water, and say that such tutlk is too much exteuded, and the guilty dealers must be punished. They say that poor John Swtnton is repenting in sackcloth and ashes. He is daily overwhelmed w'ith letters from young men, fresh from college, who desire positions as reporters at a salary of $5,000 a year. Rev. Thom as K. Beecher is running as Greenback candidate for Secretary cf State in New York. Bomebow preachers have a weakness for running on the Greenback ticket. They love to labor and to wait..

The two unmarried daughters of Mr. Longfellow are lobe absent from their Cambridge home during the comiig year, having. In company with a sister of Mr. Arthur Gilman, decided to live as students at Newnhum College, England. One day last ween, says the Portland Argus, Mrs. Annie Cary Raymnod and her husband ascended Mount Washington. There was a heavy fog hanging over the mountain, and Mrs. Raymond, turning to her husband, remarked, “If this fog would only lift I would give SSO to the Maim* General Hospital." It was but a short time before the fog lifted and they had a delightful view. Descending to llie Glcti House,

Mrs. Raymond was reminded of her remark, and immediately drew her check and sent it to a physician 1q Portland for the benefit of tho hospital. The late Nathaniel Thayer, of Boston, left an estate, in stocks, bonds, land, etc., valued at more than $10,000,000, but all his household furniture, horses, carriages, plate, etc., at both his city and country homes, were only worth $23,000. Du. Frank Hamilton says that at least once a day girls should have their halters taken off and be turned loose like young colts. ‘‘Calisthenics may be very genteel, and romping very ungenteel, but the former is the shadow, while the latter is the substance of health-giving exercise.” A letter received from General Sherman mentioned that Justice Gray had ridden over 300 miles on horseback on consecutive days without fatigue. As he is known to weigh 300 pounds, bis friends are asking about the condition of the horse he rode, or if there were relays of horses. In Boston: “Ma, I really think I shall marry Mr. Perkins.” “Well, my dear, if j 7 ou must, you must, I suppose.” “I san’t see, ma, why you should object. Mr. Perkins is rioh; he is actually a narobert, ma.” “A what, my dear?” “A narobert, ma; you wouldn't have me make use of that vulgar word nabob, would you, ma!” Edwin Booth, who is growing more and more aesthetic in his tastes as he grows older, has made up his mind to reside in Boston. Mr. Aldrioii, tho editor of the Atlantic Monthly, has selected a house on the slope of Beacon Hill, which Mr. Booth will purchase at once, and he will hereafter be known as a Bostonian, and one of the Illuminati. Mr. Talker, the colored lawyer, whom Governor Butler has nominated for justice of the Charleston District Court, is said to be very popular among the Irish-Amerioans at Charleston. He is a Roman Catholio, aud a member of the choir at the church of 89. Vincent and Paul, Mrs. Walker is a white woman, and, her friends say, a very estimable one. General Joseph Holt— with the exception of Jacob Thompson the only surviving member of Buchanan’s cabinet—lives in pleasant retirement on Capitol Hill, in Washington. At the ago of seventy-six he is still erect, vigorous and well-preserved. His long white hair hangs low upon his neok, his gray eyes are undinnned by age, and his firm, clear-cut features express all the force and determination of his younger manhood. A remarkable feat was recently accomplished by John Macdonald, of Dundee, Scotland, His brother Archibald was passing through a field when he was attacked by a bull, and being a cripple attempted to defend himself with his crutch. John ran to his rescue, and having no weapon caught the beast by the horns, and with one supreme effort gave a sudden twist to the head, dislocating the ncok by the jerk, and killing the bull. Mr. Macdonald was at one time champion athlete of Scotland.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. The Prohibitionists in Massachusetts seem to be repeatiug the mistake of their brethren in some of the other States. They have nominated an independent State ticket at Boston, and indulged in a good deal of denunciation of Republicans—the only party that ever has befriended the temperance cause at all.—New York Tribune. What other Ingenious scheme the lottery people may devise to evade the postal laws remains to be seen. But they are likely to find on the part of Judge Gresham a vlgilantfand aggressive determination that the postal service shall not be used directly or indirectly for purposes which Congress has declared unlawful and public sentiment condemns as immoral.—New York Herald Mr. Hendricks’s conduct is so different from the old style of statesmanship and party loyalty that it is a proper subject for comment by outsiders. We venture the prediction that his motives will become so apparent and so disgusting before the struggle overthe nomination is ended that he will not be able to secure even the second place if his party commits the imbecility of running the spectre or Grameroj' park at the head of its ticket.—Chicago Tribune. Even the deaths and disabilities caused by the Uf*e of stimulants and narcotics have their due influence, by decreasing the efficiency and number of laboring men, in increasing the wages of those who are not dead or disabled. It is an undoubted truth that in taxing any kind of property (if time be given for the adjustment of the tsix to the business of tnxpayers, the tax will so diffuse itself as to become a common burden, duly proportioned to the shoulders that should bear it.—Philadelphia Record. Every Republican Btate convention held this this year hns cordially approved of the administration of President Arthur. Both factions of the party unite in honoring blui. Probably he is not liked by the leaders of either faction, but they are all conscious that his course Has the approval and confidence of the people at large, ana they dare not, in the face of dangers pressing on the party, leave out that expression of praise which the rank and file of the party demands, and which Mi. Arthur’s wise, conservative, patriotic and honest course as President eminently deserves.—N*w York Herald. Corea has a history extending back twenty centuries. During that time it has held no intercourse with rh nations of the West, and its customs have undergone little or no change. It begins relations with the United States, and will doubtless soon form them with other countries of the West. All the consequences of this new departure are probably but dimly forseeti either ;bv its rulers or people. New and disturbing Ideas and things are likely soon to invade their t-eclusiun railroads, telegraph, telephones, paper money, lightning-rod men, trade-unions, etc., and in a few years the Balaam business will be a tradition of ttie past. -Milwaukee Beutinel. If there was reason to believe that the course of ihe law would be swift and relentless. Judge Lynch and his hideous mask would disappear forever. The methods of procedure in criminal cases seem to be cut out of joint with the times. The State pays for enormously expensive trials, protracted through tedious months and years, and, in nine cases out of ten, the ends of justice arc defeated by the machinery which was designed to Becure justice. The reform of our criminal law and procedure, of our jury system, and of the whole obsolete apparatus winch brings the blind goddess into contempt, is a duty winch the legal lights owe their country.—Minneapolis Tribifne. Tjik retirement of the 3 per cents, may affect the circulation, for in the place of the called bonds, the banks, if they want to retain their circulation, must deposit in the treasury the same a moii nr, either m “lawful money" or other government bonds. As the issue of circulating notes yields a very small profit, ail n as other bonds command a high premium, some banks may prefer to give up the circulation afiectea by the redemption of these called bonds, and lu this way contract the currency. Whatever may be the effect upon the volume of natioual bank nores, it Is unfortunate that the government should be com pc Dad to disturb the basis of the national banking system.—New York Times. Mu. Wattkrson, of the Courier-Journal, declares, on behalf of theßouth, that the election of Randall Speaker would be the demise of the Democratic party. The New York Sun declares :hat nor to elect Randall will defeat the party in ihe presidential election. One says that without tne tariff reform Hag the parly’s brains will be out, and then it ought to die; the other, that any suspicion of hostility to the protective tariff will be. fatal. Ami now the Suu has discovered that the question of extending the timo of paying the tax on the whisky in bond is entering into the election of Speaker, and threatens to explode the party. With all this aud much more, tne wonder is that the party does not harmonize.—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. Political Notes. Ex Governor Palmer, of Illinois, favors the old ticket and says he believes both Tilden and Hendricks are anxious an I eager to run. No delay is made by the Massachusetts Republicans in beginning the work of tne campaign. They begun hohiing meetings the day after the State ticket was nominated Candidate Robinson goes at once upon the stump. Ex-Governor Kikkwoodls making some telling bits in Ins speeches oil the stump in lowa. In an address at Cedar Rapids he refe* red to the cr.v “turn the rascats out," and said that the Republicans turned them out over twenty years ago. Judge Forakkh has made more than fifty speeches since hi* nomination by the Republicans for Governor of Ohio. On several occasions* he lias spoken us often as three limes in the same day. The Columbus Journal says that “it is generally conceded that Foraker is making the most brilliant aud vigorous campaign that was ever made it. Mils State, and his meetings are ail large aud euthusiaaUe."
