County Treasurer Loftin , should provide himself with an incubator or. a force of setting hens. The idea of Green Smith signing the commissions of live judges of tho Supreme Court! Really, is life worth living? The Marion county treasury does not carry as largo a surplus as the Connecticut Mutual. Tho people would like to lniow how their affairs stand. The Cleveland administration is findrug its level. The New York News remarks that its statesmanship is about the caliber of a hollow needle. Tub proposed appointment of Supreme Court judges by the Legislature is a plain and palpable violation of tho Constitution; but what do tho Anarchists care for that? The odor of decay in John E. Sullivan's neighborhood does not arise entirely' from tho cgg3 in tho establishment. A Democratic effluvium hangs abont the shattered party vase. Would the Democrats bo willing to amend tho Andrew bill so that a person convicted of forging tally-sheets and sent to the penitentiary should not continue to hold office and draw salary therefor! The "peculiar relations" of Joseph A. Moore to President Greene, of tho Connecticut Mutual, which are said to have prevented the defaulter's prosecution, are matters that need explanation if the company is to retain its standing in this community. The Supremo Court commission bill should bo entitled, "A bill to capture the Supreme Court of Indiana, to convert it into a Democratic machine, to create soft places for five played-out Democratic judges at an expense of $20,000 a year, and for other purposes." The meeting of the State Prohibition League on Tuesday demonstrates anew that the occupation of tho third party would be gone were its adherents to delist from abuse of Republicans, and opposition to that organization. Invective, and not argument, is their main weapon. If the Insane Hospital inmates were permitted by tho Democratic officers to vote at any other than presidential elections, they would doubtless resolve unanimously that thanks were duo to Providence for interfering between them and John E. Sullivan's rancid-butter and wormy-fruit supplies. A bill is pending in tho New York Legislature to disfranchise bribe-takers for ten years. England has a similar law. It is said to have produced excellent results. As the voter does not want to lose his vote, and1 his party does not want to lose a voter, tho law makes it the interest of all to stop bribery. . Speaker Niblack's anxiety to rush the Supreme Court commission bill through under whip and spur verges on the indecent. His father is ono of the proposed beneficiaries of tho bill, whoso commissions are to bo signed by the Speaker and Green Smith. And this is government by the people! The Indiana Democracy got two black eyes on Tuesday one from the downfall of that faithful "worker" John E. Sullivan, and tho other through the defeat of Judge Parrctt in the First district. Wheu a party begins to disintegrate, it goes fast, and expedited, as the process Js in this case, by tho action of the legislative majority tho total collapse cannot be far distant. Hon. Frank B. Posey is one of tho flowers tht bloom in the' spring. His election by a handsome majority to fill the unexpired term or General Hovey in Congress shows what the Republicans of the First district can do in a fair election. The result ought to settle the contest for tho 6eat in the regular term, though we understand that other evidence to be adduced by Mr. Posey will do that. mmmmmmmmmmm Sullivan says that when ho went into politics he was worth about 815,000, and that his campaign for the county clerkship cost him $10,000. There could not be a stronger argument in favor of reform in politics than this. Here is a man who, by his own confession, spends two-thirds of a snug little fortune to secure one term of a county office. Of course, Sullivan never spent 810,000 honestly or legitimately. Tho mere statement of the amount argues gross corruption. This was in the campaign of

18SG, when Coy was chairman of the Democratic county committee, and everything was run wido open. It is a vicious system that holds out such big prizes for corruption and oilers such opportunities for it, and Sullivan's expenditure of $10,000 was only part of tho Democratic corruption fund. Ho was only ono of many candidates in that election, and tho rest all contributed their share. . THIED-PAKTYISM AND THE COLOR LINE. The editor of tho Northwestern Christian Advocate, published at Chicago, was one of the earliest, and has been of the most constant adherents to the third-party method of meeting the prohibition question, though carefully guarding the columns of his paper against offensive allusions to the subject; but recent developments have caused him to dissent from at least ono of the proposed aims of that party, and to indorse, instead, the policy of tho Republicans, as conspicuously represented by General Harrison, without abating in the least his devotion to the cause of prohibition. In the issue of the Othinst. he says that that party aims to consolidate the South, and then add that consolidated result to Northern influences and gain control of the government, and thus prohibit tho nun traffic. Ho concedes that the aim is a good one, but recent events have convinced him that it is impracticable. Not discouraged by tho fact that that party received less than 30,000 votes in tho entire South, its manipulators have been improving tho time since the election in developing their plans by personal correspondence with tho leaders of the party in the South, calling especial attention to this feature of the scheme for obtaining power. These letters have elicited answers, every ono containing patriotic sentiments like these: "The white men of the South stand together to prevent the domination of carpet-bag and negro supremacy in our State;" "the white race will never consent to bo ruled by an inferior race;" "a division of tho white vote in the South would result in the supremacy of the negro;" "we feel that it is better to hold tho State government and to let Republicans have tho national government, than to abandon the States to the. negro;" "tho whites are determined that tho negro shall not dominate in politics;" "you must put in your platform a plank 'White rule for tho South' if you want Southern help," and so on through tho whole correspondence. Whether or not this correspondence will deter the leaders of that party from further attempts to build up a party on the single idea of prohibition remains to bo seen; but tho editor of tho Advocate gives notice that ho cannot be counted in any scheme which contemplates an abandonment of the Republican platform on tho duty of the government to secure a free ballot and a fair count for every voter, which was so emphasized in the late canvass by General Harrison. His attitude could not bo better expressed if he were editing an out-and-out Republican paper. He says: "The ambition to unite the North and tho South for war on rum is laudable; but those who seek it must not longer declare that it is of the nature of 'tho bloody shirt' to say that the South is determined to cast the negro out of citizenship. Even the South must bo taught that tho negrojmustbo protected in his rights at the ballot-box. There is no disposition to interfere with the internal affairs of the States in tho South; but those States must not outrage the rights of tho colored man, and then come to Washington with excessive powers derived from that political theft, and expect that the North will assent without demur. The correspondence from which we quote ought to convince all parties that the Southern intent is a blow aimed at the life of tho Republic." We would add that it ought to convince all thinking men that any further attempt to create a national party on a question that is purely local, and which has been relegated to the States by repeated decisions of the United States Supreme Court, and which must ignore a question so vital to our national existence, is worse than folly it is madness. The meagre vote given to this party at the late elettion ought to have been satisfactory, but can any lover of his country any longer hesitate, after this unanimous declaration, that tho only condition of co-operation on the liquor question is an indorsement of tho Southern attitude on the negro question?

The pending election bill is a great improvement on tho present law, and a great advance on any measure ever offered or approved by the Democracy before. It ought to provide for a general registration of voters, but does not. The Constitution requires this, and the people have twice declared by large majorities that they desire such a law. The Democracy in this State have always opposed a registration law, and tho majority in tho present Legislature are still opposed to it on the ground, no doubt, as the late Governor Hendricks said, that it "would injure the Democratic party." Tho Republicans should endeavor to have this feature engrafted on the bill, and to mako such other improvements as careful scrutiny may show to be desirable. That done, thev should, nnd J ' w w ------ I doubtless will, give the measure hearty support. If it is an honest measure of reform the Republican party will profit by it, and if it is not such a measure the next Republican Legislature can make it so. Tho present duty is to help the Democrats pass tho bill while they are in the mood. There has been considerable talk about the careless business methods of the Connecticnt Mutual in allowing its agent here to pile up a big defalcation year after year. Our county methods do not seem to be much better. There has been reason to believe for some time past that county affairs were under tho worst kind of ring rule. Tho Sullivan failure shows there was ground for the suspicion. Of his indebtedness to the county treasury $15,000 dates back to r Treasurer Miller's time. Whether this covers the entire amount of his loans from Miller or whether $21,000 covers his indebtedness to Treasurer Loftin is only a

matter of conjecture. Tho fact that Sullivan is indebted to the county treasury in any sum should call for an immediate and thorough investigation of the books. If tho County Commissioners had done their duty there would have been an investigation long before this, but there is every reason to believe tho Democratic commissioners have all along been in full sympathy with the ring.

Congressman Guentiier, of Wisconsin, tho most prominent . GermanAmerican in Congress, talks goodhumoredly about the Samoan affair, and ridicules tho idea of war growing out of it. But if such a thing should occur, he said: American citizens of German birth and German descent know as well as anyother class of American citizens where their duties belong. We will work for onr country in time of peace and right for it in time of war, if a time of war should ever come. Wheu I say our country, I mean, of course, our adopted country. 1 mean the United States of America. After passing through tho crucible of naturalization we are no longer Germans; we are Americans.' Our attachment to America cannot be measured by the length of our residence here. We are Americans from the moment we touch tho American shore until are laid in American graves. We will-tight for America whenever necessary. America first, last, and all the timer America against Germany; America against the world; America, right or wrong; always America. We aro. Americans. . , Mr. Guenther is a native of Prussia; received his professional education there, and came to this country in 18GG. He talks like a pretty good American. GArEN's assurance that tho funds of tho Insane Hospital aro safe is worthless. He says that Sullivan has never had the use of any of the hospital funds. That is not true. It is a matter of public record that tho president of the board of trustees did at ouo time loan him a largo sum out of the hospital contingent fund, and had trouble in getting it back. The public will never know the condition of the hospital fund until there has been an investigation, and tho Democracy will never allow that. Gapen as a member of the board and Gapen as Sullivan's assignee keeps up the old connection. It is a rotten ring all around. "Both of . the old parties must go," says Chairman Dickie, of tho third party national committee. This has been the hypocritical cry of this organization from the start, but after nineteen years both tho old parties are still here, and vigorous, while in several States thirdparty aid has brought renewed powcr to the Democracy. In Indiana, for instance, some much-needed temperance legislation might bo had at this session had tho third party joined with tho Republicans to defeat the f reo whiskyites. As a matter of fact, tho third party is working for free whisky, and not for temperancc. During the campaign third-party speakers "pointed with pride" to Iowa as a place where prohibition prohibits. There is no doubt that the law is more generally obeyed there than in other States having prohibitory statutes, but this is because a temperance sentiment prevails. This sentiment, however," is strong enough only in rural districts and the smaller towns to compel an enfortfq- J ment of the laws, and Governor LarraV bee's order calling upon county officiftls to sco that tb law is obeyed is. a sufficient denial of the third-party statements that a temperance paradise exi$ts in Iowa. T Mr. Sullivan complains that when he went into politics he had unlimited financial credit, but that the more prominent he became politically tho less cred-, it was given him by business men. This is very sad, but, though Mr. Sullivan - has : learned his lesson in a hard way, any man of sense and honesty could " have told him in advance that a citizen whoso "prominence" is owing to his participation in election frauds will inevitably bo distrusted by the community. Unfaithful in one thing, he is suspected of beingunfaithful in all. George A. McCord, of Louisville. Ky., noticing in Dr. Brown's "mild .winter" recollections, recently published in this paper, an account of catching a butterfly on Jan. 1, 1817, sends the Journal a butterfly captured on Christmas day of the present season. It is evidently Mr. Mc Cord's purpose to prove that the winter of 1817 was in no way superior to that of 18S8-9 in the matter of temperature, and inasmuch as there was nothing in tho weather to prevent a butterfly that had lasted till Christmas from lasting until New Year's day or even several weeks longer, he has apparently made his point. . His position is reinforced by the statement that at Inglcs's mines, in Pike county, on the 16th of this month, earthworms came to the surface during a warm shower, and at the same place, on tho 22d, a live and lively grasshopper was caught. As tho Journal has frequently remarked, this winter leaves nothing to be desired in the way of weather and its accompaniments. Young inhabitants will do well to jot down in their memories the incidents of the season to be brought out in the time when they are the "oldest." One of the most important events of the year in educational circles was the recent endowment of a vast and costly free industrial school for boys and girls by Isaiah Williamson, of Pennsylvania. Greater encouragement to this branch of education is now offered by Hon. Jacob Tome, of Maryland, who is about to establish a free seminary and manual-training school, at Port Deposit, with an endowment of nearly $3,000,000. He is an aged man, who has gained his wealth by his own exertions, and that the beginning of tho struggle with the world was hard, and his boyhood experiences not altogether pleasant to the memory, are pathetically indicated by his remark concerning the school: T want to give poor boys and girls a chance to know what it is to fight your own way through life, and I want to try and make the road a little smoother for others." No millionaire could find nobler use for his money than in helping poor boys to help themselves. ... i The surviving Republican orators of the lato campaign, who recently organized tho National Spell-binders' Association, have decided to extend their membership and enlarge the sphere of their usefulness. A limited number of bona fide spell-binders will accordingly be admitted as life members, on the payment of $25 ea'ch, or as associate members for $3. These payments include a ticket to the banquet to be given in Washington, about March 4, and a souvenir copy of tho proceedings of the late meeting. Spell-binders of high and low degree can obtain further information by addressing Mr. C. F. Johnson, corresponding

secretary of tho association, Washington, D. C. The Journal cheerfully contributes this free advertisement because, while wo have no particular uso for spell-binders just now, we may want them four years .hence. We believe in encouraging nat:vo oratory. TnE common understanding is that manual training is tho training of the hands in 'the use of tools, or to perform any labor skillfully; but tho "council of education" of New Jersey has officiallydefined. it as "instruction in thought-expression by other means than gesture and verbal language in such a courso of study as shall also provide adequate training for tho judgment and executive faculty." It all amounts to tho same thing, but what a roundabout stylo of verbal thought-expression educational people have, to be sure. It is distressing to read of human beings freezing to death up in Dakota, but if people will voluntarily move 'away out into the blizzard country, when they might come to Indiana and enjoy life, they must take the consequences. With Dakota children freezing to death on the way to school, it is reasonable to conclude that regrets are now sent by the persons invited to picnics and other al fresco entertainments. .

An American-born member of the British House of Commons, Mr. Channing, a grandnephew of he great Unitarian divine and anti-slavery advocate, has placed himself on the Radical side of the British land-taxation question. In committee on the local government bill, and on the hustings, he has advocated the division of all municipal and county rates between the land-owner and occupier. At present the occupier pays all. ' "An appointment by a Democratic President will not be considered a very strong tenure of federal office after March 4," says tho Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, "but there is ono Democratic appointee who is thought to be in no danger. This is Mr. Horatio J. Sprague, United States consul at Gibraltar. He was appointed by President Polk, forty years ago, and has served without intermission ever since. Mr. Snrague seems to find Gibraltar an impregnable fortress."

Cleveland Leader. A CABINET OF HICII MEN. A Few Pointed Remarks Concerning Current Democratic Hypocrisy. 5 New York Graphic. One phaso of discussion of the now acknowledged decision of General Harrison, to put John Wanamakerin the Cabinet, is a Democratic hue and cry that the incoming administration will be made up of rich men. Tho Jcffersoni an Democrat abhors a rich man if he is a Republican. The "first Democratic Cabinet in twenty-five years" is a flagrant example of how the lines of Democratic practice are separated from this Democratic preaching. Secretary Bayard, the premier, is worth a quarter of a million, which in the State of Delaware, from which he hails, is eqal to a million in New York. Daniel Manning, the late Secretary of tho Treasury was worth half a million. His successor, Mr. Fairchild, is not worth less. Secretary Whitney lives in a 750,000 Fifth-avenue palace, when he is at home, and spends $50,000 a year for living expenses. Secretarv Vilas owns enough iron mine stock in Wisconsin to make him a millionaire in rank. Endicott is another man of wealth, while Don M. Dickinson is rated abont with Bavard, but on account of telegraph, and telephone and corporation connections is said to bo rapidly accumulating a large fortune. Lamar and Garland were not wealthy in one sense, but the former married a lady who has a big bank account and the latter endeavored to make a stake in the Panelectnc Company that would enable him to make a fair running with his mates. Both Lamar in Mississippi and Garland in Arkansas are considered moro than fairly well ott. r J In the same line of attack is the cry that General Harrison will give the country a corporation" administration, as if it could he more distinctly a corporation administration than the present one.

Our views of gg; as a public character do not need to U S! peated. Desiring that Mr. Harrison's administration shall be creditable and beteticiai to the country, we have hoped tht he would not call such a trickster to 1?I councils. Mr. Blaine's position ia the fcl publican party is such that he canuoth the estimation of the Blaine faction holdi Becond place. If he is Secretary of Stati he will be, to their minds, the most iav tant figure in the administration, Mr. fii. rison not excepted. This may be an erroneous estimate, but it is likely to prove 13 embarrising one. If Mr. Blaino goes ia he takes with him. in addition to all his na$. ural aptitudes for mischief, a backing ef mischief which no other man could muster. Carpenter Vs. Ray. Shelby Bepublican. It the duty of the honest, fair, h. abiding citizens of Shelby and Decattr counties to see that Senator Carpenter in returned to that body by several hundred majority. It is due him, and re believe ti will receive it. The American people ad. mire fair play and believe that every cm should havo his just rights. Such beisg the case, it is right and proper that he should be returned to the Senate, not only as a matter of justice to himself, bnt u a rebuke to the partisan majority that expelled him upon such flimsy evidence ss the contestor presented. Mr. Carpenter is a man who has always stood high in Shelby county.. He was nominated unanimously by his party for 13 office in a district where it seemed a hopeless race, bnt by the aid and support of hundreds of Democrats whom money could not and did not influence he was triumphantly elected. At least four hundred Democrats in the district voted for him and were proud to do so, as they looked upon his opponent as not a fit man for the place. . Carpenter made a gallant race and was successful. Scott Ray was defeated by Democratic votes, the votes of men who do not indorse hi s political methods. These Den who voted against him last fall have still the same reasons foi repeating their action, with the additional reason growing out of a desire to vindicate the rights of t the people to chose their own representatives. Disgusted with Iti Party. CrowfordsYiU Review (Dem.) In selecting assistants for tho Uonse of Representatives and Senate of the present Legislature, tho majority, which is Democratic, have practiced economy vdth a vengeance. Their actions will do the party no good. If we aro in favor of economy, retrenchment and reform we must practice these principles as well as preach them if we desire the public to believe arc sincere. About forty assistants have bwn appointedforeach branch of the Legislature. It. is very probable that one-half that number could perform ail the labor required in both Senate and House and then not be busy over half tho time. About sixty persons have been appointed as doorkeepers. One-third that number wmld t" ample for the 6ix or eight hours per flay that aro required. They get f5 per day. This is twice as much as many of these fellows over earned before in their lives per day or will soon again. It is a wcleM expenditure of the people's money and vul receive the denunciation of every one that desires economy in the management ox public affairs. , 9 Why Shouldn't He? Boston Transcript.
