THE FOKT Y-NINTH CONGBESS Farther Debate on Mr. Logan’s Bill to Increase the Strength of the Army. Dltcnssfon of the Postoffice Bill in the House Causes a Sharp Passage of Words Between Messrs. Honk and McMillin. THE SENATE. Continuation of tho Debate on Mr. Logan's BUI to Enlarge the Army. Washington, Maroh 30. —In the Senate, todajr, after routine morning business, Mr. Voorheet offered a resolution, which was agreed to, sailing on the Secretary of the Interior for oorreepondence between that department and the Spokane and other Indians, or agents representing them, touching the removal of the Indians from their present location. On motion of Mr. Yan Wyck, the Senate took np and passed the bill to establish two additional land districts in the State of Nebraska. The hill to increase the efficiency of the army was then taken np, and Mr. Logan continued his remarks in its support. He argned the necessity of an increase, and said that to Imply any. motive but a proper one for this bill was unworthy of debate. The time would come when the people would approve the attempt now made to give efficiency to the army. Mr. Teller said one of Mr. Logan's arguments against his Mr. [Teller] opposition to the bill, was that when there was onco a great parade of soldiers on Pennsvlvania avenue he [Mr. Teller] was not there. He [Mr. Teller] admitted that he was not there. He had never made any boast Os having been in the army. He had never made the Senate chamber ring with the statements of services he had rendered to the country in the army or any where else. We all knew that the Senator had been in the army, and were not likely to forget it. Mr. Teller thought it a merit to have been in the army, and conceded 4hat the Senator from Illinois had been a distinguished soldier; bnt Mr. Teller had yet to learn that service in the field especially qualified a man for legislature functions. Mr. Logan did not know of any very offensive language he had used toward the Senator from Colorado, that he should eeuse him to grow so irate. The Senator from Colorado said that he [Mr. Logan] always pretended to know more about military matters than any other Senator; it was an unfair statement, unjust, and untrue, and he [Mr. Teller] knew it Mr. Teller said he would let the Senator’s gtatement, so often repeated, answer what he JMr. Logan] had now said. He [Mr. LoganJ said ne had not been offensive. Who said he had? Mr. Teller believed be [Mr. Logan] had commenced this debate with the assertion that there was a combination of Senators here—at least that was the way it waa reported —as if there was a combination of Senators to defeat this bill. He [Mr. Logan] insinuated, at least ip bis speech, that opposition came because the (senator had reported the bill Mr. Logan said he would repeat what he bad said, for the Senator from Colorado had misQyoted him. What he [Mr. Logan] bad said was jfbgt the Senator from Maine [Mr. Halel had resolved encouragement from other Senators. Thai was the language he had used, and that iras the way it was reported; bnt he did not kpow the Senator from Colorado had taken Hto himself, for he did not know that it had fitted. , Mr. Teller said he understood the Senator [Mr. Logan] to say—and that was the way it went to country—of course, that was the fault of the press—that there was outside opposition. He understood it did not refer to him [Mr. Teller] at all, or to any member of this body, but referred to a gentleman whom it was, perhaps, not worth while to mention. Mr. Logan said if there ' was anything on |arth that would induce him to believe that there was a desire on the part of some gentlemen in this Senate to canse bad feeling between persons, it was the very remark the Senator had "ifiAde now. He [Mr. Logan] had said no word, Uttered no word, in reference to any man outside this chamber, nor did he insinuate what the sgnator [Mr. Teller] said, and that Senator ought to know it; and the attempt to have it go to the country that he [Mr. Logan] was attacking any man outside of the Senate, or in it, was unworthy the Senator. Mr. Teller did not know what the Senator had ■aid. He knew what was in the Record. Mr. Logan remarked that that was not in the Record. Mr. Teller said he knew what he bad thought the Senator said. Os course he had misunderstood him. He had understood the Senator to reflect, not on any Senator on the floor, and he [Mr. Tellerlthought other Senators had so understood. We are bound to assume, of coarse, that just what appeared in the Record was exactly what the Senator said. He was not raising any question of veracity of what appears in the Record. They all understood, of course, that the Record was an exact statement of what anybody said, and that when a man lost his temper sometimes, and said things that he shonld not 'tor, he did not correct the Record. Not at all. As to opposition from other Senators, one Senator had, at that time, and only one, spoken against the hill, and one Senator had spoken for the bill, Mr. Teller believed, besides the Senator who reported it Mr. Teller thought there had been an undue feeling of complaint as to opposition to the Senator from Illinois. He read from Mr. Logan’s speech, in the Congressional Record, the following: “My friend from Maine, who is absent —and therefore I will not refer to him now —was doubtless encouraged by the opposition of other Senators to make war upon this bill from the start”

Mr. Logan asked if there was anything there about any outside man. Mr. Teller said that that was in the Record. He [Mr. Teller] was only speaking of the imperfection of human hearing when he said he had understood the Senator from Illinois differently. It was not the fault of the Senator from Illinois, but of himself [Mr. Teller. | The Senator from Illinois had stated that some newspapers had •aid this was a war on a certain Senator—which Mr. Teller presumed was because of certain aspersions of a certain Senator. Mr. Logan denied having made such a statement. His remark, he said, was that some newspapers had said that this bill was not for the purpose of making the army efficient, but for other reasons that had been suggested by Senators. Mr. Teller understood there had been some suggestion that this opposition to the bill was, perhaps, for the purpose of destroying the ambition of some person in this chamber. He had not the slightest doubt that the Senator from Illinois sympathized thoroughly with the struggling manhood of the country, and he [Mr. Teller] had never intimated anything to the contrary. Debate on the army bill then closed, and Mr. Platt addressed the Senate on the Washington Territory bill, which he characterized as an enabling act. He gave statistics of the population and resources of the Territory, and asserted that on this showing it was entitled to admission as a State. Mr. Platt would nos discuss the matters that had occurred there in regard to the Chinese. The people had dealt with it themselves, and they were as well qualified to deal with matters affecting themselves, and to be a State, as the people of California, Oregon, and other States having similar questions to deal with. Even in Ohio, a year and a half ago, there were occurrences far more dangerous and more far-reaching than any occurrences in Washington Territory. Why, then, should the Territory not be admitted! Mr. Voorhees introduced a bill for the admission of the Territory of Montana in place of the bill originally introduced by him. The bill now Introduced, Mr. Voorhees said, was an enabling act, while the first bill provided for the immediate admission of the Territory. After an executive session, the Senate adjourned. a THE HOUSE. Mr. Guenther Makes a Personnl Explanation —Debate on the Poatoffle BliL Washington, March 3<X —Mr. Guenther, of Wisconsin, rising to a question of privilege, sent to the Clerk’s desk and had read an artiele from the Oshkosh Northwestern, stating that it was

said that Mr. Guenther’s defense of the Post-master-general, a few days ago, was in fulfillment of a promise obtained from Mr. Gnenther in return for his appointment on the committee on postofficee and post- ’ ads. This article, said ' Mr. Gnenther, reflected not only on his integrity, bnt on that of the Speaker and the Post-master-general. He had never intimated, directly or indirectly, that he wished to he appointed on the committee on poetoffices and post-roads. He had never approached the Speaker regarding his appointment on any committees, and np to ten days ago he had not seen the Postmaster-gen-eral during the present session of Congress. In saying what he had about the carrying of the foreign mails, be had acted consistently with his coarse in the Forty-eighth Congress, when he had voted against the Pacific Mail subsidy. He was of the opinion that the Postmaster-gen-eral has done right in this matter, no matter what his politics were. He [Mr. Guenther] was a Republican. He had never Greeleyized or mugwumpized. While he had undoubtedly made mistakes, he hoped that no gentleman would think that his course had been anything bnt honorable, just and upright Referring to an article in the same paper, declaring that he had reflected upon Germany and Germans, Mr. Guenther said that in alluding to “happy Germany,” he had uttered the honest conviction of his heart He loved the people of Germany, hut had no sympathy with those who tyrannized over them. He loved the land where his father, and brother, and sisters lay bnried; bnt he would not exchange his proud title of American citizen for all the titles, honor and wealth that the Emperor of Germany or his iron Chancellor could bestow upon him. [Applause. ] He had come to this country to better his condition; and when his German fellow-eitizens here would learn that Mr. Kasson had called their former home “happy Germany,” they would smilingly shrug their shoulders and thank Providence they lived in “happy Germany” no more, but were citizens of a free, great and prosperous republic. Mr. Rogers, of Arkansas, from the committee on the judiciary, reported a bill for the service of civil and criminal processes issued by Territorial judges of courts within military and Indian reservations, and the Yellowstone Park. Placed on the House calendar. The House then went into committee of the whole—Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, in the ehair —on the postoffice appropriation bilL Mr. J. M. Taylor, of Tennessee, defended the Postmaster-general from the criticisms made npon him by Mr. Barrows, of Michigan, and said that the subject of increase had been left by Congress to the discretion of the Postmaster-gen-eral. Mr. Dinglev said that the question involved was not one of subsidizing American steamship lines, but of giving them fair compensation for mail service. We paid the British Cunard and White Star lines 3# cents per mile for mail service on their outward trips last year, hut American ships were paid only 4 cents per xniie one way and even sea and inland postage, the maximim which ever was allowed, would give 8 cents per mile. The last Congress appropriated a sufficient amount to enable the Postmaster-gen-eral to pay existing American steamship lines sa much as he paid the Cunard line, and to secure the establishment of anew line to Buenos Ayres, bnt that official declined to execute the law, and it was denounced as a “subsidy.” If this policy was to be continued we would, in dne time, see the last of American steamships in the foreign trade. To fill the chapter of injustice to American steamship lines it was now proposed to compel them to carry oar mails for whatever compensation the Postmaster-general might be pleased to give. A British steamship could come and go as it pleased, bnt an American steamship in the foreign trade was to be detained until it consented to carry our mails for a sum insufficient to pay expenses. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, defended the action of the Postmaster-general in refusing to use the $400,000 appropriated by the bill of last year to compensate American vessels for foreign mail service. This subject, he said, bad oeen considered at a Cabinet meeting, and whatever of error or crime attached to a failure to use this fund, attached not only to the Postmaster general but to the President and his Cabinet. He argned that the Postmaster-general had committed no error, hat had only exercised a just and wise discretion. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, thought that the Postmaster-general, instead of receiving criticism, should receive the encomiums of Congress and would receive the plaudits of the American people. The Postoffice Department has hereafter to be administered in the interests of the people of the United States. Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, pointed out that the Postmaster-general had precedents for the exercise of his discretion, in the action of Secretary of the Navy Hunt in refusing to establish coaling stations on the Isthmus of Panama, and of Secretary of the Treasury Sherman in refusing to expend the appropriation for the payment of certain Southern mail contractors. Mr. Houk, of Tennessee, criticized the administration, and declared that the President had assumed an attitude before the country which would not have been tolerated in any but two other countries in the world. Russia or Prussia might tolerate his course, hut neither the Sultan of Turkey nor the Queen of England would have occupied their positions twenty-four hours after having taken the position which the President had assumed. He then went on to denounce the action of the First Assistant Postmaster-general in removing postoffices in Tennessee from the villages in which they had been situated for years, and locating them in the pinery regions, because he could not find Democrats in the villages to take charge of the offices. This action he denominated the most outrageous, infamous action which had ever been perpetrated upon any community. He did not know from what influence this came, unless it came from a man who had paid himself a salary ont of the children’s school fund two years after he went ont of office. Mr. McMillin—To whom does the gentleman refer? Mr. Honk—You know just as well as anybody else on earth. I have the record, if you come round privately. Mr. McMillin—l insist that when a man goes to assassinate a character —and this is unmitigated assassination—he shonld have the boldness to do it like a man. Mr. Houk—l have the boldness to tell you privately or to meet it in any other way. Mr. McMillin—No man ought to attempt to do that indirectly which he has not the boldness to do directly. I undertake to say that the man he is attempting to reach is the equal of any man he can boast of, and I will not under the rules of this House, say how far the superior of this individual [Mr. Houk] in all that constitutes manhood. Mr. Houk suggested that there were plenty of men on Pennsylvania avenne now who were the superiors of his colleague. Mr. McMillin would express the opinion, if it were parliamentary, that there were men in the penitentiary who were the superiors of his colleague, and Mr. Houk had no doubt that his colleague’s superiors had been hanged in prisons. After this exchange of compliments the matter dropped and the committee rose. Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, asked unanimous consent to offer the following resolution: Resolved, That a committee of five members be appointed, whose duty it shall be to investigate the circumstances and causes attending the killing, on the 18th of March, 1886, in Carrollton, Miss., of a number of colored persons of said State. Mr. Reagan, of- Texas, objected, t>n the ground that Congress had no jurisdiction over the matter. Mr. Randall then asked to have the resolution referred, bnt Mr. Reagan objected, notwithstanding the request made by Mr. Barksdale, of Mississippi, In behalf of the Mississippi delegation, that there might he no objection. The Honse then adjourned. Counterfeiters at Work in Prison. Leavkn worth, Kan., March 30.—There was considerable excitement in the neighborhood of the Kansas State Penitentiary last evening, when it was discovered that a number of counterfeiters’ molds had been in use for some time by a couple of convicts, the latter having successfully made a number of bogus coins. A quantity of the latter, representing perhaps $6, was found in the cell of one of the convicts. The molds were accidently discovered in the drying-room of the laundry, where the two convicts were employed. When examined they said that they had been assisted by some of the guards, who proenred materials for them and got rid of the spurious coins They named two of the guards, who have been suspended from duty pending an investigation, bnt it is generally' thought the guards are innoeent The counterfeiting had gone on for several weeks. Aykb*B Sarsaparilla will do away with that tired feeling, and give you new life and energy.

TRYING TO DEFEAT BYNUM. - • A Secret Meeting of Democrats Bitterly Opposed to His Nomination. They Fail to Agree Upon Any Plan for His defeat, However, Because Too Many Candidates Are Represented in the Caucas. The opposition against Congressman Bynum is becoming more and more pronounced, and it is probable its effects will be felt in the immediate election as well as in the selection of the county ticket Bynnm has alienated the support of a number who helped him out in his first election, because they regarded him as Hobson’s choice and they preferred to vote for him even rather than to strengthen the Republican candidate. Bnt it is certain this feeling will he largely wanting in the coming campaign, “for,” said one of these lukewarm original Bynnm supporters last night, ,“I voted for him it is true, hut I will not do it again.” “I suppose that determination is dne to the appointments he has secured.” “Rather to the appointments he did not secure, but mostly for his utterances and those of his friend Creelman against Hendricks.” “Bynnm,” said another of his opponents, “will he hard to beat in the convention, under any circumstances. He has a loyal following, and has shown that he is a good canvasser; hat I think he can he defeated for the nomination. If not, there will be no trouble for the Republicans to elect any suitable man they put up, eveu in this Democratic district” This was the drift of a conversation that illustrated the phAse of Democratic difficulties. Another occurred an hour or two later with a man strongly in favor of Bynum, and one who has large responsibilities, or thinks he has, in the management of a campaign. “Confound them kickers,” said he; ‘they had their instructions not to do anything in this affair until the township election was over. They were told that any Democrat who opposed Bynum at this time by any definite movement would hear from the party when the proper time came. I tell you all this will not amount to anything. Bvnnm will be nominated. He hAS the solid Shelby connty delegation and will get the twelve delegates from Madison county if Bill Meyers does not look out for himself. We know what we will do for him in this county.” It was day before yesterday that an antiBynum man, with the air of one overburdened with a secret, said, “Something is goin’ to drop in the congressional fight among the Democrats in a few days. Say, do you remember when the Creelman interview was published, that one you know in which he spoke about Hendricks? Bynum has done the same thing, too, and we are goin’ to have them words printed in a circular and spread broadcast. This fight against him means business. We ain’t got no candidate yet, but there will be one. The Irish are going to down him, you bet Something is to take place in a few days and I’ll let you know.” This something, no doubt, referred to a caucus of anti-Bynum men that was held last night in the office of the Secretary of the State Board of Health. It had during the day the promise of a large attendance, if the number of invitations sent out indicated anything, but there were not more than sixteen or seventeen present They crowded the Secretary’s rear office, and disenssed the features of the coming congressional campaign from nearly every point of view. Yet there seemed to be only one thing on which all united—that, the determination to do all they could to defeat Bynum, though many and varied were the opinions as to how it could he done. One wanted to do it by supporting Wm. R. Meyers, another by giving the nomination to Wm. E. English, and still another thought that Leon Bailey represented the majority and force of the Seventhdistrict Democrats. Only two hot speeches were made—one by James Ryan and the other by Colonel Maynard. The former talked loud enongh to entertain the pas6ers-by on Washington street. Austin H. Brown left early in the evening, and was followed at intervals of fifteen or twenty minutes, until nearly half of the caucus had disappeared. When requested to tell what was done, a gentle man said: “Nothing, purely nothing. Every man had a candidote, and no two could agree. The caucus closed with everybody disgusted. ** Among those present were Austin H. Brown, John Carlon, James J. Fay and Dorman Davidson. amusements. THE ABBOTT OPERA SEASON. The brief season of grand English opera by the Emma Abbott company will begin at the Grand to-morrow night; with their great production of “The Mikado,” which will be the first time that popular opera has been rendered in this city by grand opera artists, with elegant eostnmes and scenery, and with the original English business. Miss Abbott will sing “YnmYum,” and the cast, otherwise, will include Montegriffo, Pruette, Broderick, Dixon, Miss Annandale, Miss Bellini, and Miss Jessie Ovler, of this city. On Friday evening “Linda, of Cbamouni,” will he given for the first time in this city, introducing Miss Abbott as Linda, and the celebrated Spanish tenor, Michelena, as Carlo. At the Saturday matinee popular prices will prevail, when “Bohemian Girl” will be given, and the season will conclude on Saturday night with “Norma.” There is a good demand for seats, the advance sale cow being in progress. Miss Abbott has a larger and stronger company than ever before, and carries her own orchestra. Much interest is felt in the engagement, particularly in the production of “The Mikado” to-morrow night NOTES. At the Mnsenm “Silver Spur” continues to attract large and delighted audiences. The play is a very fuuny comedy, and the company is good. A good house was at English’s last night to see Miss Lillian Lewis in “Article 47.” The usual matinee will be given to-day, and the play will run through the week. The brilliant spectacle of “Zozo, the Magic Qneen” will be the attraction all next week at the Grand, the engagement being for the benefit of the letter-carriers. George H. Adams and Adelaide Cherie are leading members of the company. A larger audience erected Miss Coghlan at the Grand last night, and it is evident that she has won a place in the favor of the Indianapolis public. Her fine presence and splendid voice gain on the auditor, and it is evident that she will meet with favor whenever she returns to this city. The engagement closes to-night, there being no matinee. Preparing to Advance Prices. The organization of boss tinners and retail stove dealers was perfected last evening at a meeting held in the Mayor’s court-room. Jacob Voegtle, of the Voegile Furnace Company, is president; Jacob Gobel, secretary, and Joseph Gardner, treasurer. Competition has been so brisk, and prices so low for some time that it became necessary to have an understanding. A scale of prices that will he adhered to by every employing tinner and stove dealer in the city is to be adopted. These prices will he about onekalf the rates that ruled years ago, hut a sufficient advance to enable dealer to pay their employes better wages and at the same time satisfy the public. Convict Woodward About to Dio. Robert Kelly, who was arrested with John Corder at Evansville and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment in the Michigan City penitentiary for passing counterfeit silver dollars, was released from custody yesterday under the poorconviet act. While in prison be and John T. Woodward, tho lottery agent who was sent from this city to serve a term of five years, worked

together, and they were given a daily task of platting seventy-eight feet of cane-seating for chairs. Kelly says that ‘Woodward was hardly ever able to complete his part of the task, and that he usually helped him out He thinks that Woodward will not live but a few months, as his health is failing rapidly. THE CITY IN BRIEF. Thomas Quill, traveling salesman for Whitehead & Cos., and Republican eandid&te for town ship assessor, was never on the police force. Marriage licences were issued yesterday to James Windsor and Samantha Mclntosh, Max A. E. Schwarzer and Wilhelmina L. E. Dunne. Invitations have been issued for an elegant reception, to be given in Board of Trade Hall, by the Indianapolis telegraphers, on Monday evening, April 26. The Republicans of the first preeinet of the Second ward will meet at the corner of Home avenue and Ash street, this evening at half-past 7 o’clock. A good attendance is requested. The regular monthly meeting of the Woman’s Exchange board will be held on Friday, April 2, at half past 2 o’clock, at the residence of R. O. Hawkins, No. 376 North Tennessee street. A full attendance is desired. John Wilson, who was arrested on suspicion daring the presence of crooked men at the Hendricks funeral, hut was released on condition that he would leave the city, returned a few days ago. Patrolman Joyce arrested him for vagrancy last night. The Charter Oak Building, Loan-fund and Saving Association, of this city, was incorporated yesterday. The directors are, W. P. Marlott. W. A. Cochran, John M. Bohmire, .Isaac L. Hempleman, Wm. Preignitz, W. H. Clarke, Elbert Jordan, James Carsboden and Edward J. Tattle. Albert Elster, employed in the cabinet works on Yandes street, accidentally struck his arm against a buzz saw yesterday afternoon, and it was partly sawed off jußt above the elbow. The mangled arm was dressed by Dr. Maxwell, and while the unfortunate man will not entirely lose the use of it, he will be permanently disabled. Candidates Must Support Their Cause. An effort is being made to have the Knights of Labor assemblies of this city pass a resolution agreeing to support no one on the legislative ticket of the two parties not in sympathy with working men and their canse.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOUBNAL SPRING ANNOUNCEMENT. THK DAir.T JOURNAL. There never was a season of more special and gene* ral interest than the present, with the promise of increasing importance until the country is face to sac ’ with the great presidential struggle of 1888. In In diana this is particularly true; for Indiana ia already in the preliminary work of the campaign of 1886, the result of which is to decide the choice of a member of the United States Senate, and to exert a profound influence upon the character and outcome of the quad* rennial strngg'e. Not only in this view is the ap* pro&ching campaign in this State of unusual interest, but it is of much importance locally to the people of In* diana. The citizens of this State are suffering from the maladministration of the Democratic party and front the outrageous partisanship of the last two General Assemblies. The State institutions have been prosti* tuted to the basest party ends, taxes have been uU creased, debt has been piling up, snd there is demorab ization everywhere, from the lowest to the highest department of civil government. These questions off local administration must be met and generally die* cussed by all the people, in view of the election to be held next November, at which a verdict upon them ig to be rendered by the court of last resort. No Repub* lican in Indiana can well afford to be without THK INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL during this time. Its columns will be devoted to g faithful and intelligent discussion of all these ques* tions in which the people have so deep and abiding a concern. The political character of The Journal, la fixed and well known. It is a Republican newspaper, devoted with its best energy and ability to the advocacy of the principles of the Republican party. Th* Journal believes there is still a pressing demand foV real, honeafc, upright Republicanism, and to answep that, so far as it may be able, is ita desire and purpose. Thb Journal’s columns will be edited with earnestness and sincerity, but with a due and proper regard to candid differences of opinion, and with full appreciation of the privileges of personal judgment and the rights off private character. In its political conduct ThN Journal will never be the organ of any man nor the subservient tool of any faction. In local affairs it will continue to assert independence of dictation in the as*" 8u med name of party, subordinating at all times what may seem to be temporary partisan advantages to the good of the whole community, and thereby the real, permanent benefit of the Republican organization. Honest measures of reform will meet with hearty commendation, but political charlatanism will be rebuked. Thx Journal offers its past record in suppert of its claims for the continued confidence of the public. In view of the pending political struggle in the State we believe no better agency for Republican success can be found than to increase the circulation of The Journal, both its daily and weekly issues, among the people. We call the attention of political committees in the various counties and districts to this suggestion. THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, Asa newspaper, commends itself to everyone, irrespective of partisan consideration. No partisan zeal interferes with its comprehensive collection and fair publication of the news. Its high character as a newspap.tr is universally recognized, and it now ranks with tho best newspapers of the country in point of completeness, and promptness and accuracy in dealing with the news of the world. The news features* of Tile Journal for the current year have beett iargely increased. Attention is called to the superior character of the news from the field of its Immediate circulation. We have special correspondents in all of the more important towns and cities of Indiana, eastern Ohio, and central and southern Illinois, and nothing of general interest occurring within these limit* is omitted from the columns of The Journal. Its general news is not excelled by any paper. Its Washington service is as ‘full and reliable, and readable as that of any metropolitan paper anywhere. No paper in the country is served with more comprehensive or accurate reports from Washington than The Journal. The financial and commercial columns of The Journal are full and accurate. The department ©f railway news is maintained as heretofore. Its local department is written by trained and competent reporters, and can be relied on to give all the news worth giving, and give it intelligently and candidly. THB SUNDAY JOURNAL Has become the favorite issue of the week. The edl tion printed oh that day is specially prepared, and it steadily increasing in circulation from week to week. It is sought after with avidity by both readers and shrewd, enterprising advertisers. The literary character of the Sunday Journal is as high as that of any paper in tho United States. Besides the best writers in this country and in Europe, whose works have appeared, and will continue to appear in its column* The Journal has introduced to the public many writers whose poems and sketches have now a fixed and standard literary character and authority. While drawing upon the besc authors of the world for original matter for its columns, The Journal has been and will continue to be specially the medium through which local writers of the best clar- may find an appreciative audience. The Sundav Journal reaches all points possible to be reached by railway early <m the day of its publication. THE WEEKLY JOURNAL. The Weekly Journal has been enlarged to pages, making it the largest weekly paper circulating in this territory. The weekly edition is a complete compendium of the news of the week, with special features of late and trustworthy market reports,and a department of industrial and agricultural intelligence, carefully prepared by an editor of long experience. and is printed and mailed the morning of the day on which, it is dated. In these respects The Weekly Journal is superior to any mere agricultural paper, for the field it covers is infinitely more extensive than that which can be occupied by the special press. The sermon of Dr. Talmage will appear in The Weekly Journal,each week. Special attention is called to the value of The Weekly Journal from a political point of view. All the political news and editorials on current political questions, giving a full discussion of all important issues to the people, will be found in tho columns of Thb Weekly Journal. The subscription price of Tom Weekly Journal is only ONE DOLLAR A YEAR, postage prepaid.
