STATE PRE-S AND POLITICS. The Seeond district Republican convention to pominate a candidate for Congress will be held at Washington, Daviess county, July 15. The friends of Judge John O.' Cravens are making a vigorous effort to have him take the race for Congress against W. S. Holman. The Madison Courier pledges him a majority of 1,200 In Jefferson county. The Knigbtstown Banner favors Hon. Will Cumback as the best equipped Republican to head the State ticket Mr. Cumback, however, positively declares that he will not accept a nomination for any office, for the reasons stated in the iuterview given in the Journal a few days ago. The First district Democratic convention is to be held at Boonville, July 15. There was a heated contest in the convention over the question of selecting time and place, the Menzies foliowers favoring Evansville. The selection of boonville is conceded to be a triumph for McCullough, but the friends* of the Posey county fetatesmen are thereby by no means dismayed. The friends of Mr. Fritz Stritter, of Posey tounty, will present his name for the Republican domination for Secretary of State. Mr. Stritter ’is a life-long Republican, has always worked for the good of the cause, doing efficient work, has Undertaken the arduous duties of chairmanship ht a time when others shrank from the responsibilities, is a representative German, and would fill the office with honor to himself and party. f*osey county thinks it would be a good thing to recognize the “Pocket” this time. Bloomington Telephone: This is going to be a Republican year all ’round. Tipton Advocate: Good old Democratic times. Wheat only 60 cents per bushel. Princeton Clarion: To the Democrat the end of all things is reached when he has secured an office. Logansport Journal: One-man power in this country will never be long tolerated for any purpose or upon any plea. Spencer Republican: If that era of prosperity which the Democrats promised the country is to come, it is time it was approaching. Be these good old Democratic times? Shelbyville Republican: Bynum seems to be the “Three-fingered Jack” of the Democratic party. He proposes to sand-bag every fellow that disputes his authority. Petersburg Press: This economical administration is failing far short of what was expected, pxcept it be to deprive a few disabled soldiers from receiving pensions due them. Anderson Herald: The Herald is again moved to remark that the superabundance of Democratic harmony which pervades the congressional districts in Indiana is becoming positively painful. Uuion City Eaele: We do not object to Democratic officials participating in politics, but we do protest against the removal of Republicans for doing what Domocrats do without let or kindrance. Richmond Palladium: If the Democratic party had been honest there would have been no mistaking its position on the tariff or any other (question. But the party was not honest, and didn't mean to be. Lawrence Mail: W. S. Holman is on a par with other Democrats who loudly profess reform Bentimente only to throw off the cloak of purity aud honesty when selfish ends or the success of the Democratic party are to be attained. Attica Ledger: The political control of no Southern State has been changed by the introduction of the prohibition question. The third party is intended for the benefit of the Democratic party, and works to its advantage every time. Elkhart Review: The proposition that a man cannot work because be does not belong to the same socioty someone else does is hardly compatible with free institutions, and the eooner it is “downed” the better for all concerned. Richmond Telegram: The Hon. Wm. S. Holman should be warned by the undertone of adulation of him which is constantly to be found in the columns of the New York Sun, and to get /the cut of that picture securely out of its reach before 1838.

Mishawaka Enterprise: President Cleveland still continues to veto pension bills, meanwhile deserving soldiers are dying in our poor-houses every day. Republics are indeed ungrateful. Shame on the country that fails to care for her disabled defenders! Goshen Times: The people, irrespective of party, aro in favor of civil-service reform, and if she Democrats will not carry it out, the people twill see that its management is placed in the jtoands of the Republican party, which first put .the law into operation. ! Franklin Republican: We are so accustomod to talking about Congress doing this, aud Congress doing that for the relief of the country shat wo sometimes forget that it doesn't do anything but draw its pay and keep the country in a state of feverish uncertainty. Martinsville Republican: People may grumble about hard times all they please, but that will Cot better-the condition of things. A Republican .vote is what will do the work. The crazy party that is bent on increasing the expense of the government must be locked out Vincennes News (Dem.): The Democratic Congress is dooming the party to certain and sure defeat in 1888. In crowding the Morrison tariff measure to the wall it has put the party upon record as unfaithful And unreliable— as a party whose pledges are not worthy of consideration. Liberty Herald: It matters but little who the Democrats may nominate for President in 1888, A Republican President will be elected. The {;reat and varied labor and business interests of his country would not loDg survive general bankruptcy if another Democratic administra tion is repeated. Lafayette Conner: A man who bonostlv took cp arms for the confederate cause, and placed his life in peril on the field, doing his duty as he understood it, is a thousand times less objoctionable as a federal office holder than a coward who stayed in the rear of the national armies and plotted treason. Shelby ville Republican: It was rather cruel and premature in Bynum not to wait until "the 15th of July.’’ The Baileyites gave him more time than he seemed to want Apparently he only wanted about fifteen minutes to make up bis mind and fired off his broadside before the boys were ready. Warsaw Times: It is a serious thing for the country that the mail service has so sadly retrograded. There is not a newspaper published in all the country that does not know that the postal sprvice is nothing like as prompt and efficient as it was under the Republican administration for the past twenty years. Wabash Courier: The ballot-box is now the seat of war, and unless a loyal North wishes to lose the fruits of that bloody struggle which cost ber millions of money and oceans of precious blood she must guard no less vigilantly the political moves of the South than she did those made by Southern soldiers in 1861-65. Wabash Courier: With ex-rebels in Congress reviling the memory of Secretary Stanton; with Jeff Davis posing in the South as "the purest patriot this country imJ ever known,” and tho President of the United States vetoing pension bills passed for the relief of disabled U nion sol* diers, it begins to look as if the "lost cause’’ had got its bearings, and was coming safely out of the woods. Greenenstle Banner: Some things rise above all personality to a height that makes them almost sacred, and among these is the recognition due the men who risked all—fortune, position, comfort, health, life—for our common country. To thrust them aside to gratify personal ambition, is to do violence to every principle and to every sentiment that inspires men to heroic deeds or to cause tbeir friends at home to encourage and support their performance. Wabash Plain Dealer: The question is, whether Mr. Bynum, or Any of his adherents, is capable of leadership over older and and abler men in the party. Must the Englishes, and the Kerns, and the Coys consent'to take back seats in the future? That would be significant of a defeat at tbis time. The struggle is for vastly more than a seat in Congress. The side that wins, wins all, and the vanquished will have little to say in the councils of the bosses in the days to come. Ft Wayne Gazette: The domestic manufacturer. as a rule, belongs to the Republican party, because that party has made it possible for him

to do business.in this country, while the British manufacturer is Democratic, and is the heaviest contributor to the Democratic campaign fund. Because of the fact that they may continue in power, these men would gladly see all American industries sink to exerla6ting perdition, and would gladly welcome the foreign manufacturer to come in and possess the land. Martin County Tribune: This is quite a contrast to the prosperous period of this country during the ascendency of the Republicans. Busiues3 men and capitalists have shut down their business and locked up their capital to await the return to power of the party with a policy. The people want a change. When the g. o. p. again handles the reins of the government it will readily respond to the hand that guides it, and a now era of prosperity, business confidence, peace, and good times will dawn upon ns. Huntingburg Argus: The nomination of men who can be elected is good. But it is far more important, in mo9t Northern districts, to nominate men whoso elefcti&n will be of some use. The exclusion of men who damage the party, who fight against its principles, who seek selfish ends regardless of public interests, is especially important at this time. If the Republican party returns a majority of the House, and that majority behaves badly or proves incompetent, it will be a heavy blow to the party, and the consequences in the next presidential election will be serious. WITH ALL HER TWENTY-NINE DOGS. Loretta J, Whitman Traveling; Under Extraordinary Difficulties. New York Sun. Sergeant Darcy, of the Long Island City police, was aroused from a reverie on Tuesday evening by a medley of yelps and howls outside the door of police headquarters. A moment later a queer, elderly little woman burst on his vision, aud he rubbed his eyes to make sure that what he saw was not the baseless fabric of a nightmare. The presence of Policemen Conroy and Dunn reassured the Sergeant. Following the queer little woman were thirteen dogs, of several different sizes, muzzled and unmuzzled, attached to a stout cord which she held in her right hand. On one arm she carrried a watering can, and on the other arm two satchels. Her left hand was engaged, also, holding a bag and an apronful of yelps and squeals that added to the intermittent howling of the thirteen doss on the string. The little woman dumpqd out the contents of her apron upon the floor. They were six Dups, and the thirteen dogs ihituediately surrounded them. Then she turned tho bag upside down, and ten more chunky little fellows, with eyes fast shut, rolled out and over one another like a lot of rubber baits. Barks and howls and yelps were as thick as mosquitoes in Jersey for a minute or so. When the little woman had got things calmed down she made herself sure that the animals were all there. She then told the Sergeant that she wanted lodgings for herself and bench show. She said she wa3 Loretta J. Whitman, and that she had just come from Boston. The in-fant-dogs, she said, had come into the world on the way. She had missed the train forEastport, L. 1., whither she intended to go aud dispose of the pack of setters, for such she declared the dogs to be. The sergeant suggested that she should take tho dogs to a livery stable. She said she thought the station-house would bo the safest place for the animals, and she offered to pay for their lodging. The Sergeant finally consented to allow the dogs to remain in the corridor, without pay. and when he learned that she was going to stay with the dogs, he offered to rig her up a bed. She refused his offer, and slept all uight in a chair, with the dogs surrounding her. She remained in the station until noon yesterday, when she put the pups away in bag and apron, and started for the Long Island Railroad depot, followed by Policeman White and the thirteen grown dogs on a string. The depot master attempted to put her out of the waiting room, but she stayed there all the same. She said she would pay passenger rates for her dogs if it was necessary. She dropped the bag in her excitement, and it began moving around like anew kind of nn animal without head or legs. In grabbing for the bag she epiiled the six pups out of her apron. They all began to cry, aud then all tho big dogs began to howL She was soon mistress of tho situation again, however, and- then she resumed negotiations with the Long Island Railroad Company. The depot master told her that her dogs could go in the freight car for she would not have them go that way. She Anally chartered a baggage car, and thus, at 3:30 o’clock, started for Eastport in the car with her setters.

THAT DAKOTA STORY. Authoritative Denial of the Reported Movement to Set Up the State Government. Chicago tutor Ocean. Some fellow out at Sioux Falls, D. TANARUS., who has the capacity of a Munchausen, wrote a letter the other day, which was published in the Argus, of that city, and then telegraphed ail over the country. Some papers who have little regard for the truth of what they publish in their news columns gave it a prominent position. It was received in the Inter Ocean office, but thrown aside as unworthy of the space it would occupy; but as some of the enemies of Dakota are making an effort to use it against the people of that Territory, ft is thought best to give it attention. According to this letter-writer, ex-United States Attorney Campbell, Congressman Kanouse, Governor Meliette and other friends of the statehood movement in Dakota are organizing a military force in order to enforce the statehood movement in case Congress fails to admit Dakota as a State. To anyone who is acquainted with these gentlemen and understands their connection with the statehood movement, all such talk would pass as the mere vaporings of some blind partisan, who desired to defeat by misrepresentation what he could UQt by argument and truth. Mr. L. D. Lyon, a prominent Dakotan and editor of the Watertown Courier, who was in the city yesterday, was asked svbat his opinion was in regard to it. His reply was that it was “a falsehood; a lie upon its face, and ought not to deceive anybody.” He knows the gentlemen mentioned intimately, and says that any statement connecting their names with any such scheme is slanderous. They are all of them lawabiding, patriotic men, who, while they favor the statehood movement earnestly, will do nothing that will jeopardize the peace and prosperity of Dakota. He said, further, that he t’id not believe that the Argus, as was stated ii the dispatch, would vouch for the reliability of such a correspondent. Such things, he said, injure Dakota in the estimation of people at a distance, and he believed this to be the work of oue of the malicious enemies of tbe Territory.

Webster’s 7th of March Speech. Interview with Gov. Van Zaudt, of Ilhodo Island. "The unveiling of the statue of Daniel Webster,” said Mr. Van Zandt, "at Concord last week, calls to mind a story about him which I think has never seen its way into print. Both of the parties concerned in it are now dead, and I do not suppose that it will do any harm to tell the story. Dr. Samuel Kirkland Lothrop, pastor of the Bridle-street Church, where Webster used to attend service, became one of that distinguished statesman’s most intimate friends. With all of Webster’s rough manner of speaking at tiroes, he was at heart a sincere believer in the Christian religion. You know what an excitement there was In New England over the slavery question a few years before the war broke out. Before Mr. Webster delivered his celebrated 7th of March speech it was expected by many of the extreme Abolitionists in Massachusetts that he would take strong grounds acainst slavery. Well, he delivered his speech, and it was a great disappointment to many. It should not have been to any one who had followed Webster’s utterances on tho subject carefully. Webster was a conservative man. and his speech of March 7 was perfectly consistent with his record. When ho went to Boston afterwards his reception was a cold and cheerless one. They refused to open Faueuil Hall to him to speak in, and treated him outrageously. It was probably the means of hastening his death a few months later. After he had delivered his speech Webster wrote his friend Dr. Lothrop a letter. The doctor, who only died a few weeks ago, frequently exhibited the letter to me. It was very short, and I can repeat it in full. It began, ‘My dear doctor,’ and then quoting from Lady Macbeth, "I have done the deed. Did yon not hear a noise?’ Yours, D. Webster.’ That was the last letter Dr. Lothrop evor received from his friend.” Purify your blood, tone np the system, and regulate the digestive organa by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla.

THE"INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, JUNES 28, 1880.

THE NEW AMERICAN CARDINALS). . Allocution of Leo XIII Announcing the New Members of the Sacred College. Rome Letter in New York Snn. This is a day which will be memorable in the history of the church in America. Two American cardinals were this morning created in the secret consistory held in the Vatican, the archbishops of the two oldest sees in the United States and in Canada, respectively —Baltimore and Quebec. Indeed, the consistory itself was remarkable, no less than seven cardinals having been created, three for France, two for America, and two for Italy. It will be more interesting to your readers to have at once tbe brief allocution, or address, of the Holy Father on this solemn occasion. “We have thought proper to call you together to-day, veuerable brothers, not only in order that we might give bishops to the widowed churches of the Christian world, but that we mieht treat together of the creation cf cardinals, a thing demanded of us by the honor and lustre of your body, as well as by the circumstancos of tbe times. For you have mourned with us over the many members of your college who have departed this life daring these late years, and whose places we have resolved to fill. “But, inasmuch as our apostolic solicitude embraces the Catholics of all nations, whom we love with a deep and fatherly affection, and as it is for us a great happiness to find some favorable occasion of giving* them proof of our love, we have this time cnosen an opportunity of adding to your order some distinguished bishops from both the new and tho old worlds. “And first of all we turned our eyes to France, where prelates of the rarest distinction, attached to this apostolic see by ardent and most constant devotion, offer in their own persons a great and most praiseworthy example of union with the head of the church, and where the faithful people committed to their care are indefatigable in showing their love for the church by countless works of piety and charity, and give the most splendid proofs of their unalterable fidelity to the Vicar of Christ amid the many great difficulties which beset them, devoting meanwhile their labors and money to the defense of Catholic interests. “By thus publicly proclaiming tbe names of these (French) cardinals, we have resolved to give not only to the whole body of the hierarchy in France, but to the entire French nation this public and unusual pledge of our love, and thereby to draw closer the bonds of affection and reverence which uuite this generous uation to the Roman Church and the Roman Pontificate. “Then tbe United States of America and the Dominion of Canada claim our attention. The flourishing condition of the Catholic religion in the Federal Union, its growth and increase from day to day. the nearer approach to canonical forms which the organization of the churches there daily assumes, are to us a kind of admonition and almost a prayer to give to another of their leading bishops* a place among the cardinals. “As to the Canadians, everybody knows with what firmness they continue attached to the Catholic faith, how hearty is their love for the church, how openly they proved their filial love and fidelity to the Roman Pontiff amid his sorest trials. For this reason we feel sure that the raising of one of the Catholic archbishops to this high dignity will redound to the honor of Catholicity, wili be a source of rejoicing to tbe fieonlo of Canada, and will increase and confirm heir ever ready and constant devotion to the Roman Church. “Wherefore, these are the persons whom wo have selected from different countries to add to your college: Victor Felix Bernadon, Archbishop of Sens and Auxarre; Alexander Taschereau, Archbishop of Quebec; Benedict Maria Langenieux, Archbishop of Rheims: James Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore; Charles Philippe Place, Archbishop of Rennes. “All these have commended therasolves to uS by their ardent zeal in advancing the cause of religion and procuring the salvation of souls, by their great devotion to the apostolic see. and their ability in the management of public affairs. “Nor have we forgottan Italy, from among whose sons w*e have deemed deserving of this great honor Augusto Theodoii, our domestic prelate, most distinguished among the clergy of Rome, who has already filled various offices and charges with great credit, and has lately been the faithful aud diligent prefect of our household; aud Camillo Mazeila, a member of tbe Society of Jesus, illustrious alike for his learning and his virtues. “What is your opinion]” The five archbishops aro cardinal priests, the two Italians cardinal deacons. As the Osserv&tore Romano comes to me in the evening with the allocution and the report of th 9 proceedings, I cannot help turning my fhoughts toward Baltimore and Quebec and the two illustrious prelates thus raised to the supreme honor of the Roman purple. Cardinal Gibbons is still in the fullness of life (fifty-two), and has, in all probability, a long, useful, and glorious career before him. It is not two years since he shone at the head of the eighty-three prelates assembled in tho national council of Baltimore, as much by his gentleness and modesty as by his solid learning and safe practical judgment No man in our new world ever stood foremost in so numerous and distinguished an assemblage of church dignitaries and priests. And now that the “acta and decrees” of the council are here in Rome in tho bands of Pope, cardinals and canonists, there is but one voice in praise of the eminent prelate, who, after the Pope himself, had most to do with this great ecclesiastical gathering and the admirable work done by it. Baltimore hfls reason to be proud of her cardinal archbishop, and we American Catholics are proud of Baltimore, and heartily congratulate her on the additional glory reflected on the see of John Carroll by the Roman purple, so richly inscribed and sure to be so worthily worn by his successor. Ad multos annos! But long before there was a bishop in the United States Francis de Laval-Montmorency was bfehop in Quebec (1658.) Cardinal Arch bishop TatChereau is his sixteenth successor. In the foundation, maintenance and prosperity of Laval University, created by the seminary to which the noble Montmorency left his all in this world, Alexander Jasclierean. after Louis Jacques Casanlt, had th.' chief part. It is the noblest Catholic school on the American continent. Cardinal Taschereau .''as watched over and protected it from its birth with a fatherly interest And is he not in tho glorious fruits his work has borne? My readers will forgive me if Igo back* to the year 1832, when, as a student, I entered the' seminary at Quebec. Alexander Taschereau was two years my senior in the school, and we wc*"e school fellows till we were ordained priests, almost together, lie on the 10th and I on the 11th of September, 1842. Why do I mention this? Simply to bear witness to the many noble qualities displayed by the boy, tho priest and the archbishop—over the quiet, unpretending, studious character all through life; foremost among his mates of the college, his colleagues in the priesthood and the episcopal office by his intense application to study and his devotion to duty. He would not forgive me were I to say more. So 1 can see from hore Illumination in Baltimore and Washington, and illuminations in Quebec, “tho Walled City of the North”—tho reflected fires of which dance on the waters of the Chesapeake, the Potomac and the St. Lawrence, afford but a faint mirage of the deep joy of Catholic America. And so Leo XIII has bound us to himself by a new tie of gratitude.

The College of Cardinals. S’ew York World. Cardinals can be chosen from any Christian country, provided they are adorned with the virtues of their sacred office—virtues that mus t be known to the Pope and the members of the Sacred College. By a bull of Pope Sixtus V in 1588, it was decreed that no person could be created a cardinal who had a brother, uncle, nephew or cousin within the second degree already a member of the Sacred College. It was not until tho eleventh century that the College of Cardinals was established as it exists to day, composed of cardinal bishops, cardinal priests and cardinal deacons. The number of cardinal bishops may be six. the cardinal priests fifty and the cardinal deacons fourteen, the whole number of the sacred college being limited to seventy, corresponding to the elders of Israel. The Roman purple has for centuries been esteemed the proudest honor that could be bestowed upon the noblest houses of Europe, but none are excluded

from that high dignity on account of humble birth. Cardinal Wolsey wasthesonof a butcher. Cardinal Ximenes tbe son of a poor collector of tithes, Cardinal Perretti the son of a peasant and Cardinal Gibbons is the son of humble Irish Earents. His rare qualities alone have raised im to the highest position in the church next to that of Pope. MR. DOW’S SUCCESS. A Millionaire Publisher Who Was Ashamed of His Business. Atlanta Constitution. Mr. Dow’s history is full of pointers for speculative publishers and literary men. He was a printer, and, until 1850, earned about ten dollars a week. One day a big scheme flashed into his mind. He knew that the country was full of aspiring young writers who would give almost anything to see their productions in print. Why not start a periodical for the benefit of this class? The idea struck him favorably. He had less than fivo dollars in cash, but his credit was good for a few hundred dollars. So Dow went boldly ahead and founded the Waverly Magazine. He paid nothing for contributions and published everything sent in. Every scribbler subscribed, and purchased extra copies to distribute among friends and acquaintances. After four months the paper was a success and commenced paying its proprietor a weekly profit of $25. The circulation increased, running up at one time to 50,000 copies. The advertising also paid well. Dow soon had an income of $50,000 a year. He invested his money, and almost before he knew it was a millionaire. It is a singular fact that this man’s success always galled him. He felt no pride in it He was the wealthy publisher of a mammoth periodical filled with stories, essays, sketches and poems, and yet he was an outcast from literary circles. It did not help him to boast that he never published an immoral line. The answer was that what he published was simply balderdash. He bad voluntarily made himself the organ of mediocrity and inanity, and even the poorest pen-worker with a spark of the genuine literary spirit considered him beneath his notice. - There was nothing positively dishonest about the Waverly. Its owner, in his way. was a good citizen, doing his duty to his family, his neighbors and the community. Still ho always felt ashamed of his prosperity, and regarded his reputation R3 falling little short of infamy. The point in tbe whole business is that Dow was willing to degrade literature for profit. No mau can do this in such a country as ours and be respected. The humblest American believes that the purpose of literature is to elevate, instruct, refine and entertain, and people can not help despising the man who makes it his lifeworx to flood the land with millions of tons of printed stuff, whose tendency is to enfeeble the minds of its readers. This is no harsh judgment The common instincts of intellectual selfpreservation require U 8 to place editors and publishers of the Waverly slush class under the ban, at least in a literary sense. Still, there is money to be made in publishing trash. The field is wide, and it offers tempting inducements to all lovers of gain.

THE GARFIELD FAMILY. They Are Living Quietly and Happily at the Old liomc ln Mentor. Cleveland Special. The Garfield home, on Prospect street, where Mrs. Garfield has lived since the bitter days immediately following President Garfield's death, is empty and for sale. Mrs. Garfield and her family have gone to live at the Mentor farm that her husband loved so well, and where, she says, she can find more peace and comfort than anywhere else. Before she went there the house on the farm was remodeled and added to. Still, it was much too small for tho equipments of the city ho:iso, and a few days ago a private sale was held, at which a great many things were disposed of at fabuious prices. During the unsettled period Grandma Garfield went to her old home at Solon, a village twelve miles from town, and near Hiram College, where her boy was taught and taught others. The old lady is pestered almost to sickness by autograph hun ters, and will attend to them no more. She is strong and very clear of mind, as of old. Since the removal of Mrs. Garfield to Mentor Grandma has rejoined her. One reason why the house on the farm was enlarged was the need of a room where President Garfield's effects and papers could bo placed. These have all been arranged with the utmost care, and placed iu systematic order. The articles in the memorial room of the Pros-pect-street house have also been removed to a specially built room in the Mentor home, and a raro collection of tributes from nearly every State in the Union, and pearly every civilized nation in the it is. Mr:. father, Mr. Zeff Rudolph, is with her. He and Grandma aro nearly of tho same ago—about eighty-three. Harry Garfield is at home. He has just returned from St. Paul’s School, near Concord, N. H.. where be has been teaching. James R. is studying law with Judges Boynton and Hale, of this city, and is going to make a good, and perhaps a great lawyer. He is a close student, and has his father's retentive and legal mind. Molly is with her mother at Mentor, but often comes to town. She is president of the McAll Mission Society, an organization for missionary work in Paris. Mrs. Garfield looks well, but lives very quietly, and retains her garments of black. Sho gave $50,000 for the Prospect-street house, and has only, as yet, been offered $15,000 for it

Breaking Up a Prayer Sleeting with an \x. Providence Journal. On Sunday evening an unusually large number of peoplo had gathered at the prayer meeting in the Methodist Ohurch in the villago of East Mansfield. The service had hardly begun when a lad rushed in at the door calling in a loud voice to his father and mother, who were among the congregation, to come out quickly And save themselves. Many persons, thinking that the building might bo on tire, or that something dreadful was going to happen, were making their way out as fast as possible, when, suddeuly, a man named John Randall made his appearance among them, swinging an ax, and shouting At the top of his voice that ho was going to kill every one of them, except his mother. The women and children were very much frightened. The church was soon vacated, many making their exit from the windows. No one present dared to make an attempt to arrest the drunken maniac. He soon had full posssssion of the church. His mother prevailed on him not to hurt any one, and no one was injured. Word was sent iS!ul£iii*.s!y to COnstahU?, but, upon their arrival upon the scene, one hour later, Randall had taken to the woods, after he had chasad ono man into the swamp. Several hours’ search fop him proved fruitless. A Deatl-S?d Gift from Grant. Washington Letter in Boston Budget.

He is now on the retired list of the army, with the rank of colonel of artillery. Miss Brewer’s Triumph. New York Enterprise CAfrtcan Organ). Miss Brewer stands to day, with her ebony face, a noble example of courage, and the recipient of the greatest honors known in the history of schools, while these pale-faced dolichocephalic donkeys who attempted, to rob her of them are writhing in pnius of disgrace. Miss Brewer will leave the Vincennes High school with all the virtues of that institution, leaving the vices to be enjoyed by the eight silly maids without their diplomas. Professor Taylors nime will live forever in the hearts of Africa's sons and daughters. His action was a noble one. Advice to Mothers.

THE INDIANA SPOILSMEN. How Thoj Have Hmd Allowed to Control Appointments, and the Unfortunate Effect. Indianapolis Letter in New York Evening Post. The Democratic Congressmen from Indiana, including Senator Voorhees, and adding Mr. McDonald, are spoilsmen, and the distribution of offices in this State, which has gone to a wide extent, has been made according to their ideas of making appointments, and it is useless to say the appointments hare been made by any one elso; fealty to the particular Congressmen has never been more rigidly required. What a man had done or could do for the man appointing him has been practically the only consideration, and as a consequence the bulk of the appointments have been from the dregs of the politicians of the Democratic party. The meddling of federal office holders in party rings, caucuses and conventions has never been more brazen. The Pendleton act in thi3 State has been practically nullified. These spoilsmen cannot deny that they have had their kind of a carnival. Yet their party, which at the election of Mr. Cleveland seemed invincible, has recently suffered one severe defeat, and has an excellent prospect of being completely beaten in the approaching election, although with tremendous odds in its favor. The list of blunders which have caused the steady decline is too long to recite. If anything was fairly understood in Indiana in the election of Mr. Cleveland, it was that the spoils system was to be killed. Yet all the Democratic leaders, including the late Vice-president, at once began to play false to that understanding, and they succeeded in the object. The Civil-service Commission, without investigation, as l am credibly informed, appointed the new assistant postmaster here, a man in every way unfit, to be the hoad of their local board; he started in with the declaration that if they began to promise to keep carriers, there would be no places for their political friends. This appointment, coupled with the results of the investigation of Postmaster Jones, seemed to take away the last hope that the civil service iaw would be enforced in this State. And Jones has since gone to the full length in doiue what the mugwump said he would do if unhindered. In one year he has dismissed—or, what is the same thing, forced the resignation of—over half of the men in the classified service, all Republicans, with one exception—a earner appointed by him. and now in prison for stealing. Jones declared at the start that ho would never appoint a Republican. and he never has; every vacancy in the classified service he has filled with a Democrat. lie is not reticent as to his future intentions. Refering to the remaining Republicans a short time since, lie said: “You’ve all pot to go; summer's come and yon can make a living, and now I waut you to get out.’' And tho aforesaid head of the local civil-service board supplements this by saying: “It’s better for the boys to resign than for us to drum up charges against them;'' and again, “It almost breaks Jones's heart to have to drum up charges against the boys;” and again, to a dismissed clerk, “You've always done your work well, but the party pressure is so great upon Mr. Jones that he has got to find a place, and yours is the only one we can take at present.” I have talked with and investigated nearly every man who has been dis missed, and they are, as a rule, quiet, selfrespecting, industrious and capable men, many of them soldiers and few politicians. Mr. Voorhees was returned to the Senate, which wus not creditable, but it was, perhaps, to have been expected. He had a friend, John E. Lamb, who wanted a congressional district fixed up for himself at Terre Haute, and the Legislature, having started in the business, worked out wliat was supposed to be an iron-clad gerrymander of the wholo State, for both State and national Democratic purposes. At the same time Voorhees appointed Lamb to be district attorney, in place of an efficient man removed for offensive partisanship. This appointment, with that of Voorbees’s other henchman, Hanlon, to be collector, was moro than decent Democrats who knew them at Terre Haute could stand, and r rebellion was raised which is likely to defeat confirmation. In tho meantime Lamb is striv iug for the nomination for Representative in his made-to-order district, and hia success will be followed at least by a serious loss of Democratic votes,

I pass over the ridiculous appointment of Bayless W. Hanna, to be foreign minister. The scandalous manner in which the spoils have been distributed was truthfully set out, a few weeks ago, by the speech us Senator Harrison in the Senate, to which no answer has been attempted. The case of Dowling, who ennfessod to having bribed members of our City Conncil, and whom Congressman Bynum, facing the plainest truth, decided to keep in tho railway mail service, is one of the most conspicuous. A large proportion of the convention which renominauT* J“i3sGjail Lowry were federal office holders, and he could Dot have carried the convention without them. Tho convention which renominated Mr. Holman was entirely manipulated and run by Hunter, the collector of internal revenue, assisted by gaugers, storekeepers and postmasters. Out of fifty-five employes whom he found in office, Hunter has dis missed all but four and appointed Democrats in their places. From these facts it is seen that the spoils system in this State has carried things with a high hand, but the results are tho most powerful argument for civil service reform that has been produced of late years. Lowry speaks of tho federal offices as “patronage pie,” and ho ranks highest among us as a securer of spoils for his henchmen; yet in a few days a formidable section of his party will nominate a Democrat to oppose him. In 6pite of tho Andrew Jackson proscription in Holman's district, a large body of leading Democrats are almost in open rebellion against him. In the New Albany district two Democratic committees are about to call two conventions to nominate opposing candidates for Congress. Os tho Terro Haute district I have already spoken. In tho Indianapolis district the. Democrats have two congressional committees anil two rival candidates. The sole source of these troubles is the prostitution of public place to private benefit. In all the country there was none who advocated the fitness of Mr. Cleveland for tho Presidency more stoutly or at greater sacrifice than the mugwumps of Indiana, and they cannot understand why the State has been left to ri>*' 1 riot. They are compelled to believe tb*' b President has been grossly deceived, cannot, however, gloss over things If the fair expectation of the election b** not boen rea lized, it is hotter to say so. j.hat is the only road to correction; and * tie first steps to that road must bo the restoration of the civil-service law and the pun'jjfcjnent 0 f the office holders who have ftlOaJy brought the President into contempt.
