THE HOOSIER WATERWAYS. Wlmt the Government Has Done and Is Doing for Their Improvement. Voinls from the Animal Report of the Engineer in Charge of the Work outlie Wabash and White Rivers. ia! to tho Indianapolis Journal Washington, Au". 21. —The following annual export of the river improvements in Indiana has been received from the engineer in charge by the Chief of Engineers: . "In the original examination of the Wabash river below Vincennes the engineers recommended the remova' >f obstructions, and tho building of a lock and i -n at Grand Rapids. I do uot consider it g olicy. in the interest of economy, to expend a money in tho improve meat of tho river aha ■.. Grand Rapids until the lock and dam shall have been completed. The river below has been improved in previous years, and is now in a tolerably fair condition, requiring very little new work, and repairs to the works already constructed. In view of the above facts I would recommend that until tho completion of the lock and dam work on the river be confined to the portion between the mouth and Grand Rapids. This part of the river is the connecting link between tho White river and the Ohio river, *nd is important in connection with tho navigation of the White river, as without its improvement navigation of tho White river would bo comparatively valueless. There has been very little navigation or commerce above Grand Rapids during the last year. The condition of the river is as follows: At low water the worst obstructions below Mount Carmel are two exten give sand bars. At extreme low water they are impassable for any class of steamers plying on the river. The channel here can be improved by means of contraction works, or wing darns, at a cost of $20,000. “The work at Grand Chain has consisted in the cutting of a channel through the rocky reef, and tho building of a guide dike at the head of it. This work is incomplete, and requires the expenditure of $25,000 to complete it. “The river near Grayville is in a condition which requires immediate attention. Here a serious cut off is threatened, which will shorten the river almost three miles, and by this sudden change of slope cause serious injury to navigation. The cut off would also cause Grayville a groat loss, as its principal business is sawing lumber, which would bo entirely destroyed, as the cut-off would leave the town about a mile and a half from tho channel of the new river. Steps should be taken to prevent this cut off, and it is estimated that the sum of $20,000 could bo judiciously expended for this purpose. “The dam at New Harmony was intended to close the chute, prevent the river from making this a cut off, and confine the low water to the channel proper. The dam has required constant repair since its construction, the tendency of tho river being to cut around its seat, by constantly washing away the banks of the island or which it rests. It will require repairs each season until the chute becomes filled up. For the next year $5,000 will bo required. “The effect of tho improvements hitherto carried on has been to greatly faciiiato the navigation of the river. “The work in this portion of the river, between Vincennes and Terre Haute, consisted of the completion of the dam at Horseshoe island and the removal of snaes from tho channel. There were removed from theriver 577 snags, 117 overhanging trees, and one wreck of flat-boats. “An increased demand for, and value of, certain kind of timber heretofore considered as useless for manufacturing purposes, has given a decided impetus to the navigation of this stream as well as White river. Four good-sized steamboats have been exclusively employed in towing rafts.

WHITE RIVER. The first appropriation for the improvement of this river was made in 1870, since which time work lias been carried on. It has consisted in the removal of snags and a reef of rock known as Kelley's ripple. During the past year work has been confined to the removal of the rock at Kelley’s ripple. Tho improvement contemplates a channel 100 feet wide and three and a half feet deep at low water. At present there is a lowwater channel throughout the whole length of the ripple of fifty feet wide and of the required depth. The proposed operations for the next fiscal year will consist in the completion of the cut through Kelley’s ripple. It is estimated that an appropriation of $15,000 will complete this work. It is not considered advisable to attempt any other work on White river until tho removal of the obstruction at Kelly’s ripple is completed, as tho river is not navigable at low water while this obstacle exists. It is very desirable that the wholo amount bo appropriated at once, as tho work can be finished in one favorable season. “The cut at Kelley’s ripple has opened the river to low water navigation as far as Hazleton. Above Hazleton it is not at present an economical expenditure of funds to attempt any improvement of tho river as long as the railroad bridge at this point remains, at present, as an obstruction to navigation.” A survey has been made of Wolf lake, Indiana, with a view to its improvement. The engineer says that the “improvement of this hake would be of no importance except a connection bo made with Lake Michigan through the short branch known as Wolf river, and through which an outlet could be mado into Lake Michigan. Tho question of the improvement of the lake, the connection with Lake Michigan ami the formation of a harbor of refuge outside, have been several times investigated. The situation remains tho same as at tho last report, so far as industrial pursuits are concerned, and the locality is not one worthy of improvement by the government at tho present time.

The Indianapolis Postmaster. Harper's Weekly. When the President announced that offensive partisans might he justly removed from office, he laid down a rule which is universal, and he crave a moral pledge to the country that it should no applied to Democrats and Republicans alike. The complaints against Mr. Aquilla Jones, postmaster at Indianapolis, were three: first, that ho had violated the rifles of the civil-service by unjustifiable removals; second, that his conversation showed a purpose to disregard the rules; and third, that a recent examination was conducted unfairly toward applicants. Commissioner Thoman and Chief Examiner Lyman went to Indianapolis, heard twenty witnesses, took l.‘!l pages of testimony, and the commission reported to the President its conclusi on that the charges of improper removals and unf.rxr conduct lit the examination were not sustained, and that while the postmaster’s conversation lias been reckless, ho explains that it was due to his misapprehension ot the requirements of the rules. Had a violation of the law in regard to appointments, or a palpably unfair and partisan dismissal of an officer been established, or had tlio charge of tampering with the examination been sustained, there would have been no question that the postmaster should be removed. Ifut violation of the law was not, it seems, proved. The remaining question is whether there was such offensive partisanship as would justify removal. 1 ins is. of course, a question ©f interpretation and inference. It can he best answered, perhaps, by considering whether the -conduct and conversation ui Mr. Jones would have been regarded in the case of a Republican postmaster as constituting that offenvivo partisanship which justifies removal. The words of the President in his letter to the Civil service Reform League are these: ‘‘lint many now holding such positions have forfeif'-d all just claims to retention, because they have used their places for party purposes, in disregard of their duty to tho people, and because, instead of being decent public servants, they have proved themselves offensive partisans and unscrupulous manipulators of local party management. The lessons of the past should be unlearned, and such officials, as well as their successors, should be taught that efficiency, fitness and devotion to public duty are the conditions of their continuance in public place, and "ifcat the quiet and unobtrusive exercise of iudi vidual political rights is the reasonable measure of their party service.” If more offensive partisanship in this sense ha-* been proved against tho Republican post masters who have been removed forkthat cause than against Mr. Joues, they have been right

full}- removed. Put according to statements which have been publicly made by responsible persons, and upon the confession of Air. Jones that lie did not comprehend tlie requirements of the rule, it would be very surprising it tho testimony did not show something raoro than “quiet and unobtrusive exerciso of individual political rights" upon the. part of the postmaster. Yet, as in all casesdependent. upon evidence, it is impossible to speak decisively without knowledge of the proof. Put whatever the President's action may be, this incident alone shows the astonishing progress of this reform. For the alleged conduct of tho Indianapolis postmaster, which has attracted the attention of tho country, led to an official examination, and raised the question of his removal, is the conduct which, until very recently, was held to be not only entirely proper, but a mere discharge of tho duty of such an officer to his party.

A NEWPORT ELOPEMENT. Flight of a Girl with Her Father’s Foreman —Aii Elopiug Family. New York Special. A telegram was received at police headquarters on Tuesday night from John M. Hodgson, the Fifth-avenue florist, who was at Newport, R. 1., stating that his daughter Louisa had eloped with his foreman, Richard A. Merritt, and that they had taken passage on the steamboat Old Colony, of the Fall River lino, for this city. Mr. Hodgson wanted tho runaway pair stopped by tho police and detained until he could make arrangements to have his daughter taken back to Newport. Detectives at the Fall River pier this morning when the Old Colony arrived, met the eloping lovers. The officers called a carriage and took them to police headquarters. The young man took his arrest very coolly, white he declared that the police had no right to stop him, but Miss Hodgson wept and appeared much surprised. Inspector Steers remanded Merritt. Merritt gave his age as twenty-seven years, and said that he was a florist living at Newport. He is a blender man, with dark hair and eyes, small mustache and fairly good looking. Miss Hodgson was placed in care of Matron Webb for a time, and she became more cheerful when assured that no harm would come to young Merritt. She said that she was twenty-two years old, and her looks confirmed tho statement. Her slight, angular form was clothed in a neatlyfitting but inexpensive dress, and she wore a smail bat, witn a veil which partly covered her face. She was plain-looking, and her eyes wore red with weeping. “My parents,’’she sai l, “live at No. 515 Fifth avenue in winter, and go every summer to Newport, where my father owns several green houses. I have known Mr. Merritt ever since lie was a boy. I might also say we have been brought up together, because my father took him into the store when he was only a boy, and always had tho greatest confidence in him. Richard showed so much ability in the florist business that my father made him foreman of tho establishment in Newport. lie aud I have loved each other for years, and we were engaged two years ago. Richard spoke to my father then, and we were told that we might marry some day if we kept of tho same mind until wo got old enough to know what was best for us. Lately my father has tried to keep us apart, and my mother sides with him, although she promised once that I could marry Richard. My sister was forced to give up a young man to whom she was engaged, and my brother had trouble in getting married. I thought they wanted me to marry some Fifthavenue swell, and I made up my mind that I would have Richard anyhow. I don t see why father objects. He ran away with my mother when he married her. Our family is English. Richard is a perfect gentleman, and nothing can bo said against him. If my father comes after mol may go back with him, but I will marry Richard if I have to run away again.” Air. Hodgson telegraphed Air. Hoffman, his Now York foreman, to take Louisa back to Newport. Air. Hoffman went to police headquarters, but Miss Hodgson refused to go anywhere with him. As the foreman admitted that Louisa was of age, Inspector iStoers decided that the police had no right to detain tl Ajroung lover,s. He sent Merritt to the Police CVmrt again and had him discharged. When Alerritt and Aliss Hodgson met again at police headquarters both were free to go where they chose. Merritt promised to take Louisa directly to a minister’s house and get married.

Make a Straight Fight. Chicago Inter Ocean. It is most important that the coming campaign in lowa be fought on party principles, and that the Republicans go into the campaign as Republicans fighting a Republican battle. There must be no side issues. Republicans ought not to be diverted from the all important fact that the fight is between Republicanism pure and simple and Democracy as it has been and as it is. It is in the power of the Republican convention to direct the formation of the lino of battle and to restate the principles on which the light will be fought to a good end. Difference from a Moral Standpoint. Milwaukee Sentinel. There is a difference between the small boy and the Democratic caucus worker. “If the small boy is to be evangelized,” says the New York Times, “it must be done upon natural principles. He cannot bo made a saint all at once.” Now, with a Democratic wire-puller of the worst sort, it is very different—he becomes saintly immediately he is appointed to an office. Under tho theory of this administration wings have begun to grow on the shoulders of the wheelhorses who have been rewarded with offices.

11-appy lowa Democrats. Washington i’ufu, (.Dim ) Prohibition is said to prohibit in lowa, but the little city of Cedar Rapids, where the Democratic State convention was held yesterday, has over one hundred saloons. The thirsty Democrats did not need to choose between that and any other lowa city, as all are equally accoinmo dating in tho matter of stimulants. Emulating Blue Jeans Williams. National Hepublican. The late Governor Williams, of Indiana, in his scintillant career in the popular branch of the national legislature, soared into fame as the cheap soap and towel economist of the republic. Has Secretary Manning been studying tho life and services of that eminent reformer! What's in Name. John Morris is commonly called Tod by the people of Two Rivers, Mo., and he does not lice his nickname, which he thinks conveys the impression that he is a hard drinker. He requested his acquaintences to desist, and those who do not he sues for slander. Done to a Turn. Imli-inapolls News. “Civil Service Cooked” is the title of the Portland (Ore.) News’s comments o’- the report in the Indianapolis postoffice case. It does st-em so. and “done to a turn’’ unless the President shall stop in and spoil the dish. Ducks Cunning. Wabash Republican. The Indianapolis Sentinel is indulging in abuse of Judge Bradley, if the able editor of that paper were more meanly and cunningly malicious than lie is he would resort to praise of the Judge. Inexplicable Ignorance. l.ouis\ Hie Courier-Journal. Though there are now a number of married men in the Typographical Union, it is still well nigh impossible to get the word paregoric spelled correctly m a newspaper. The eighth Wonder. Boston Transcript. The eighth wonder of tho world is no longer in dispute. The prohibition candidate for State Treasurer of Kentucky, polled -iU.UUD votes at the recent election. Not Enoujitt of llmi. National Republican. We don’t believe anybody tried to shoot Gov. Gray, of Indiana, there isn’t enough of hitn to provoke a deadly hostility.

THE BOSTON SCANDAL. Rev. Mr. Downs Denies Improper Relations with Mrs. Taker—What the Lady Says. Boston, Ala"?., Aug. 21.—Tho Rev. W. W. Downs, pastor of the Bowdoiu square Baptist Church, publishes to-night a statement concerning the charge of criminal intimacy with a member of his church, now pending against him in court. After describing his former relations with .Mr. Taber, the husband of the person in question, he declares that his attitude toward her has always been that of pastor and friend, and that there has never been any wrong-doing between them. The events of the night on which he was arrested he describes thus: _ “Monday evening last I was in her room at No. 7 Herne street. It is a little hall-room, and when the gas is lit it is very oppressive. I had, with her permission, removed my coat. To reduce the temperature the gas had "been turned part of the way down. The chairs in the room, of which there were three, were occupied by various articles laid out to be packed, as she intended going away with a lady friend to spend a few weeks in the country at a place which my wife and 1 had recommended. As she sat on the side of the bed at the head, eating an apple, and I at the foot, with my feet resting on the floor, discussing the projected crip, there came a terrific crash, followed by her giving a loud scream .and springing to her feet. Then rushed into the room three men with various exclamations. A general uproar for a few seconds was followed by perfect self possession on the part of Airs. Taber and myself. No words were then exchanged with the men except a few common place remarks. \N bile Air. Taber went for an officer the two men accompanying him stood guard. The arrest without a warrant followed. V hen the door of the room was burst in Airs. Taber was fully dressed,’as I myself was with the exception of my coat. No criminal act had been committed, neither was any being committed, nor bad any ever been committed between us, and all statements to the contrarv are false.” In closing the asserts his determination to fight the matter to the er.d, and declares that ‘‘there are no ill-winds that blow in tho kingdom of God. Only good will finally come from all this. ” Air. A. P. Lutterworth, counsel for Air. Downs, subjoins the following statement in behalf of Mrs. Taber: “At the time of the arrest Mrs. Taber was in the same costume which she had worn at her work during the day. except that she had removed her boots and put on her slippers, and her black dress and put on a skirt and sack. The door of the room was not locked, and the gas was not turned down low. There was a cloth over tho keyhole, which she kept there at all times when she was in her room, on account of her once having seen someone looking through when she was alone. She and Mrs! Downs are, as they have been, good friends. Airs. Downs insists upon her making her home at her house until she arranges to go into the country, and i advise her to udLo. Airs. Downs expresses the strongest confidence in Airs. Taber’s purity.”

Has Not YV it tdied Him Closely. St Louis Globe-Democrat. In the opinion of Hon. Joseph E. McDonald “Cleveland can do no other way than to observe tlm civil service law.” This indicates, it is sad to say, that Air. AlcDonald has not been watching the course of events in Washington with suitable exactitude, or he would know that Cleveland has found several other ways to do than the one which ho specifies. w mar. mrr~nsnxrjexm See the display of slippers at Rochester Buffalo to-day.

STORIES BY HUGH CONWAY. SUCCESSFUL NEGOTIATIONS FOR HUGH CONWAY'S LAST MANUSCRIPTS. We have great satisfaction in announcing that the LATEST MANUSCRIPTS of the lamented HUGH CONWAY have been secured by us for EARLY PUBLICATION in the columns of THE SUNDAY JOURNAL. They consist of three SHORT STORIES, and are the only unpublished Short Stories of tha eminently popular author of “Called Back." Their titles are as follows: 1. At What a Cost. (In One Number.) o The Story of a Sculptor. (In Three Numbers.) 3. Capital Wine. (One Number.) No. 1 will be commenced to-morrow, and Nos. 2 and 3 will follow in succession. We may add that the stories are written in Hugh Conway’s vivid and graphic style, the situations are most effective, the current problems of social relations and varying phases of domestic life worked out in them are intensely interesting, and the characters leave the reader with distinct impressions such as are caused by people of striking personality in actual life. . The appropriateness of this intervention in the existing arrangements for our Serial Literature will be self-evident. The recent lamentable and all too early decease of the brilliant novelist naturally excites great interest in the work, he has left behind, and calls for its publication as soon as practicable* We shall, therefore, defer the completion of the Octave of Short Stories by Distinguished. Authors in order that the trio left Tty HUGH CONWAY may be commenced in our columns at the earliest date. On September 27 the publication of the Octave of Short Stories will be resumed by WILKIE COLLINS, and continued by stories from the j eips of EHODA BROUGUTON and THOMAS HARDY. THE -SUNDAY JOURNAL!
