Working and widening out what that little Eftlion conceived. The simple fissure in her humanism lay in her contempt for the ttoor and her failcre to realize the need of a just God. Her philosopher had an easy toleraion for social iniquities, and so her religions re jnaiced charming toys for the citizens. The notion of a universal God never arose in ihe Greek brain. It was given to the ardent genius of a little people in an out-of the-way tornerof Syria ' to supply this defect of the Hellenic mind. Israel could never resign itself to see an ill-fovcrned world under a just God. Ita sages displayed furious anger at the iniquities then prevailing. The sight of the unjust man dying wealthy filled their hearts with bitterness. The prophets of the ninth century before Christ made social justice a religious dogma, and declared that it would be better for he wicked to be destroyed than to live, if righteousness were not to triumph in their hearts. Their point of view was false, but fertile In food. Like all doctrines of despair and like the present-dav nihilism, it produced a great awakclnr of the soul. For the founders of Christianity continued the teachings of the prophets, tnd were always looking for the destruction of ie world. Strange to say, transformed the old world. Jesus' apostles and the second generation of Christians established a relicion of Hebrew origin, which crowded out tbe patriotic playthings of the pagan world. Christianity has become as great an element )n the growth of mankind as the Greek rationalism. England and America will long. bear (races of their Biblical education.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. flow President Cleveland's Talk About Permanent Peace Is Received. London, Nov. 1. The Telegraph says: "President Cleveland's reply to the arbitration memorial delegation is thoroughly sympathetic, though his speech is guarded. His words imply more than if used, as they might be, by the most aggressive of princes or statesmen." The Chronicle says: "President Cleveland's reply justifies the belief that the American people reciprocate the friendly sentiment of the pritisb nation expressed by Sir Lyon Playfair. When a large section of the BritishParlia-ment, meting in conjunction with the trades-union ongress is found in perfect accord with the president of the United States on this question t must be admitted that the cause they uphold Js in a fair way of advancement." The Trafalgar Square Rioters. London, Nov. 1.

INDIANA AN D ILLINOIS NEWS

Recent Outrages by the "White Gaps' of Crawford and Harrison Counties. Complicated Lawsuit Over the Estate of the Late Solomon Romig Shrewd Thief Captured The Killing of Joseph Barter. INDIANA. Fresh Outrages by the "White Caps' of Crawford and Harriso Counties. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Evansvillb, Nov. L Crawford and Harrison counties, Indiana, seem to be hopelessly at the mercy of a lawless class which has terrorized that section for months. Word has just reached this city of fresh outrages committed last night by "White Caps" near Marengo, Crawford county. A somewhat infirm man incurred their displeasure, and they went to the house masted and took him out, tied him to a tree and administered thirty-nine lashes with a hickory withe. He was then released from further punishment on condition that he would leave the county within ten days. A near neighbor was also visited, but under strong entreaties from bis family he was not whipped, but told to leave tha State. It was only a few days since these outlaws visited the house of John Amy, in Scott township, Harrison county, and in his presence stripped his wife perfectly nude and administered forty lashes, laid on hard. That the county officials are thoroughly terrorized is shown by the fact that the case of Charles Langford, of ML Prospect, Crawford county, was presentto the grand jury with proofs of the identity of the men who had outraged his family, but they refused to present a true bilL Langford tore the masks from the faces of two of his assailants, and recognized his nearest neighbor and deadliest enemy in one. In spite of this he could not induce any prosecution by the court. which feared the vengeanee of his assailants. "White Caps" are absolute masters of this section. A Complicated Lawsuit. Special to the IndiananoIIs Journal. Lafayette, Nov. L Mrs. Mary Thomasson, of Chicago, is plaintiff in a suit here that has many novel characteristics. In 1SC6 the plaintiff was a widow named Stevenson. According to her testimony in court, she went to New York city with Solomon Romig, a weatby resident of Lafayette, and was there married on St. Patrick's iy of that year. In 1874 she sued Romig for ruining her daughter (by a former marriage). This enraged him. and in the latter part of that year Romig tore up her marriage certificate, declared that the marriage was a mock affair, and drove her from the house. A child had been born to her about four years after her marriage with Romig, and when he drove her away, in January, 1875, she left this daughter with him. Although she had lived with Roming from 1866 to August, 1874, as his wife, they bad occupied separate apartments, it being one of Romig's demands that their marriage should not be made public A few weeks after being driven from Romig's, as she claims, the witness was married to her present husband, Henry Thomasson, now of Chicago, tbe ceremony occurring at Terr Haute, Ind. No divorce was procured from Romig. He had sent her away, she said; told her she never was his wite in law; advised her to marry somebody who would take care of her, and she did so. Romig died in 189. He left a large fortune, but nowhere made mention of a wife. He had, in 1876, adopted Gracie (the present Mrs. Thomasson's daughter), and gave her a share of his fortune, making an oath in court that the child had no father living. The mother sought to obtain possession of the child, after Romie's death, but tbe court decided against her. Within a few months Mrs. Thomasson has been able to procure the deposition of Mr. Winchester, (who kept the hotel in New York city where the alleged marriage with Romig occurred), who states that Romie and the woman came to his house; that be sent out after a minister, and the two were married in tbe hotel parlors. He does not remember the name of the preacher, but he recognizes the parties by photographs. With this deposition Mrs. Thomasson comes into court asserting her rights to the statutory allowance of $500 as tbe widow of Romig. This is of course but the openincr wedge, for if she succeeds in proving her right to this, she will also be entitled to one-third in Romig's large estate. Unless she shall be cut out by that provision of tbe law which declares that where a wife leaves her husband and is living with another as his wife at tbe time of her husband's death, she shall be barred from any interest in his estate. According to Mrs. F.'s testimony, she was driven from Romig's house Jan. 2, 1875, and in the same month she married Mr. Thomasson. She did not procure a divorce from Romig, nor Romig from her. It is a complicated case all around. Henry County Historical Society. Special tu the Indianapolis Journal. New Castle, Nov. 1. The committee on invitation, appointed by the general committee, selected at the last old settlers annual meeting, to organize a county historical and biographical society, sent out the following circular to the people of the county.

L William Simmons was ar rested cere last nignt oy uarsnai Kobinson, on a telegram received from Pittsburg, Kan., charging him with stealing a valuable shotgua at that place a few weeks ago. Simmons has the reputation of being a sharp thief, and his stealings drte back for years, yet he has always managed to escape convictions in the courts by some hook or crook. He frequently leaves this city, and is gone for weeks, but when he returns he always brings back a good supply of nice shoes and lots of jewelry, which he disposes of to persons throughout the city at a very good price. The marshal of Pittsburg will be here to-day with requisition papers, and will take him to Kansas at once tor trial. Bad News for a Newly-Married Man. Special to the Indianapolia Journal.

MINOR MATTERS. Mr. Cleveland Has Turned Out Most of the Republican Office-IIolders. Washinston Special. The President has been subjected to much undeserved criticism from those who profes3 to be his party friends. It has been frequently alleged by disappointed office-seekers and their friends that he has drifted far away from his party and neglected appeals to "turn the rascals out" and appoint faithful members of his party in their stead. Such charges will not hold good against the President. So far as the President is concerned he has exercised his executive power in the matter of federal appointments almost to its full extent. It is those whom be has appointed to office who have failed to recognize their party friends, assuming, some of them, that all party debts were wiped out when they were placed on tbe government pay-roll. New YorK has 219 presidential postofSces. out of which number forty-seven are in charge of the representatives of a former administration. The collector, naval officer and surveyor at New York city are new. The general appraiser of merchandise at New York is also an appointee of this administration, and so are six of the ten local appraisers, and the assistant appraisers and the supervising inspector of steam vessels is a "hold over," so is the assistant treasurer. The President has also appointed eighty-five collectors of internal revenue, the full complement of that class of officers. Cynthia Cleveland's NoveL Washington Special. Miss Cleveland, the author, in personal appearance bears a close resemblance to Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland. She has reached middle age, and her hair is tinged with gray. She is a strone-niinded aggressive woman, and her deV termined face indicates this trait of her charac ter. She has been a temperance advocate through Michigan and Dakota, and attained considerable power and influence in the latter Territory. She is said to be capable of making a splendid speech, and has frequently taken the stump in her efforts for her favorite cause. During the last presidential campaign she was an enthusiastic Democrat, and took the stump for Cleveland, not merely, as she said, because of his relationship to her, but because she desired the success of the Democratic party. She has been denounced as a crank, but she is far from that. She is remarkaUly self-possessed, and in every way a lady of more than ordinary intelligence. Although in government service she has absolutely refrained from making capital out of her kinship to the President. Miss Cleveland, while refusing to be interviewed, is said by her intimate friends to be much dismayed at the effect the publication of her book has produced. While not admitting that the Col. Ralph Winston of her novel is really Governor Swineford, of Alaska, she says the story was not written in any spirit of revenge, but she believed that it contained enough elements of interest to make it acceptable to the reading public, and she hoped to conceal its autobiographical nature by publishing it anonymously. The friends of Governor Swineford in Michigan are saying a number of ugly things about Miss Cleveland, but the Governor himself has not yet been heard from. Indiana Patents.

L Since the recent publication of the revised rules and regulations of the Postoffioe Department, tbe Postmaster-gen eral has received a large number of complaints from prominent business men in large cities, protesting against tbe enforcement of the rule prohibiting tne use oi wrappers or second, third and fourth class mail matter as an advertising medium. The Postmaster-general replies that be can afford no relief, because the rule is made in accordance with the law a law which has been in existence since 1S79, but which has been persistently violated.

Louis Lingg, Adolph Fisch er and George Engel, three of the condemned Anarchists, have written open letters to GovOglesby protesting against a commutation of sentence and demanding, as Parsons ha3 done, "either liberty or death." Engel says: "I am not aware of having violated any law of this country. In my firm belief in the Con stitution which the founders of this Republic be queathed to this people, and wmcn remains unaltered, I have exercised the right of free speech, and have criticised the existing condition of society, and sought to succor my fellow-citizens with my advice, which I regard as the right of every honest citizen. The powers that be may murder me, but they cannot legally punish me." Lingg says he "called upon the oppressed mass es to oppose the force of their oppressors with force, in order to attain a dignified and manly existence by securing the full returns of their labor. This and only this, is the crime proved against me. Fischer says: "I am no murderer, and can not apologize for an action of which I know I am innocent; and should I ask 'mercy' on account of my principles, which I honestly believe to be true and noble? No. I am no hypocrite, and nave, therefore, no excuse to offer with retard to being an Anarchist, because the expe riences of the past eighteen months have only strengthened my convictions. Fischer denies thas he is responsible for the death of the policemen at he Haymarket, and closes his letter with a lone statement about the condition of society and the immense diafatisfaction among tbe working people. "Would you sign a petition for a commutation of Field en's sentence?" was asked of Assistant Attorney Walker to-day. "I feel kinder toward Fielden and Schwab than I do toward the others, because of their modest demeanor during the trial, but I do not see how you can discriminate between the guilt of any of those in the conspiracy. No, I wouldn t care to sign any petition for any of them." There was an unusual number of policemen in citizen's dress and detectives about the Criminal Court building, but Captain Schaack said there was no significance in it, and that they are there because they have cases pending before the grand jnry. At the East Chicago-avenue Police Court cases W6re commonly continued for ten days when continuance was asked for. This morning the cases were continued for nine days oniy. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

Cattle-Growers Denounce Kir. Hatch. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 1. The report of the legislative committee was read at this morning's session of the Consolidate Cattle-growers' Association, and referred, without debate, to the committee on resolutions. It is in the nature of a history of the work accomplished by the committee in its endeavor to procure congressional assistance in destroying contagious diseases, and its distinctive feature is a scathine dennnciation of the conduct of the chairman of the House committee on agriculture (Mr. Hatch, of Missouri), to whose influence the committee attributes the defeat of the Miller-Carey bilL Several papers were read, and a number of resolutions referred, among tbe latter one denouncing the oleomargarine biil.

It was a scathing denunciation of tbe crime and gave a true picture of the motives inspiring the rescue of the five robbers. At the close of the prosecutor'? address, to the surprise of the judge, jury and audience in the court-room, tbe defense said they would rest the case without argument. Judge Johnston will charge the jury to-morrow morning. The sudden termination can hardly be accounted for, except that the defense recognized the hopelessness of its case.
