merits to office, the President makes suggestions that should bo taken home to the common sense of even seeker after office." St. Louis Glohe-Democrat: "The inansrnral address of President Harrison is one of the moat comprehensive and satisfactory of the utterances of its class. It touches on most of the subjects of broad national concern, and it touches them in a lucid, vigorous and gratifying manner. The most interesting questions dealt with by the inaupural were the surplus problem, the attitude to be preserved toward the South, and the foreign policy to be pursued. In speaking of the Southern question, he makes it plain that he isopposed to any different treatment for on section of the country than that which is accorded to all other sections. The address is a vigorous, straightforward and honest American utterance, and will give satisfaction to every rightly-constructed patriotic American." The Democratic Pre. ChicagoTimes: "The President's address will entirely please his jarty, and will not disappoint the opposition. Each expected its substance. Its form is udmirable. Harrison is a capable man." St. Louis Kepublic: "Considered as a whole, the inaugural does not promise Mr. I Iairison a successful or even a creditable administration. It does seem to us to threaten an administration that will represent Harrison narrowness and Blaine dishonest'." Pan Francisco Kxaminer: "President Harrison's inaugural address is evidently his own. There were none of the Hashing ?yrotechnics in it that would have berayed the hand of Blaine. It was calm, thoughtful, a little commonplace perhaps, "but well calculated, on the whole, to give the country confidence in the intentions of the new administration." Chicago News: "The new President of the United States has acquitted himself admirably of this first duty of his office. The address shows that he has carefully weighed the leading questions of the day, and that, while standing with his party on ail of them, he is yet an Amer n who has the good of the Nation at heart, and who has realized that he is President of all the people, both North and South. The policy outlined by him is both wise and patriotic." Louisville Courier-Journal: "The Ohio idea, as expressed by Mr. Sherman, is that all congressional elections, and elections for presidential electors, should be actually tinder control of the President. When Mr. Harrison commits himself to this ho has gone to the utmost extremein favoring federal interference in local affairs, and this rolicy, not executive, not legislative, but this party policy, is not the less dangerous because Mr. Sherman and Mr. Harrison pretend that it is to bo applied, to tho whole country." Detroit Free Press: ,4The inaugural address of President Harrison bears the impress of earnestness, but it is lacking in breadth. The impression it leaves is that the President is honestly convinced that the so-called protective policy, if not the cause of all the material development of the country, so largely promotes it that without its aid the national progress would have been much slower and less satisfactory. .The topic is the principal one to which fie devotes attention, and he seems to leave it with reluctance." New -York World: "President Harrison, while rejecting altogether the suggestion of a special executive policy for any section of our country, nevertheless has a hundred pointed words to say of the alleged denial of the right of voting to negToes at the t 1 1 M 1 1 J.

douiu xo one woru 01 ieeoie reierence iu the corruption of the suffrage at the North. T)..iflAnt H.naAna .-i rtn nint Tsn r 1 1 Bervice reiorm are nine more luau aumuuition to the spoils-seekers to be patient. There is nothing in the President's words that can be twisted, by even the most sanguine reformer, into an indorsement of the lundamental principles of this reform. Indeed, office-seeking is commended, and the " intimation is plainly conveyed that party services constitute a valid claim to reward. The President's attitude toward the tariff is, in brief, to keep up the war rate and to use its nndonbtea advantages to its rich beneficiaries as a means of rapturing some .of the Southern States. There is not in the address one earnest word in favor of stopping the surplus by reducing taxation. Wastefulness, profligacy or favoritism in public expenditure is denounced, but the Iresideut plainly intimates his belief that there is no especial need of cutting down the revenue. Surplus spending is evidently to be tho policy of .the new administration. The outline of a foreign policy is perhaps tho most satisfactory passage in the President's address. It is bold without bluster, and calm without cringing. The reference to American rights in Samoa is especially admirable. If President Harrison can hold Mr. Blaine to the line which he has laid down in his address, he will do his country a great Bervice, and prove himself a strong man." New York Sun: "General Harrison's inaugural address speaks well fornim. It is a modest, sensibly conceived, and excellently written essay on the state of the Union. It contains no surprise, no novelty of political philosophy, no startling announcement of administrative policy. Tho . substance of nearly everything that General Harrison Bays, on every subject ho touches, could have been predicted six, weeks ago with tolerable accuracy by au intelligent student of contemporary politics. If any f oojish friend of the new administration has expected that yesterday would be chosen for the sudden unmasking of a powerful and original individuality not heretofore suspected to exist, he will bo disappointed. If any prejudiced enemy has hoped that the inaugural speech would be the disclosure of mental feebleness, ridiculous pomposity and general incompetency to handle the reins of government, he, likewise, will be disappointed, and even more than the other fellow. Good taste, good ndgmeut, and a very shrewd sense of what it is better to leave unsaid at present characterized the document. It skirts the edges of the too obviously true without crossing over. There is not a proconsul in it, nor any sign of a slaughtered Koman It repeats generally-accepted maxims, and Tnniinlet infhnnt stint r-m n n buperior knowledge. It gives the impression of a reserve of power. It is moderately rhetorical without buncombe. There is nowhere in the lines, or behind the lines, the slightest trace of that offensive egotism, that air of discovering immortal truths, which provokes hostility at sight, like a sanctimonious and at the same time pretentious face. We are free to confess that this is an encouraging circumstance. The country has still to learn just what sort of ludu i nuiunn uurnsou js, out ine audresswhich will be so widely read this morning in every part of the Kepublic, provesf very clearly what sort of a man he is not. He is not a weakling or a fraud. All the indefinable qualities which, in literary productions as in personal bearing, attract or repel without affording any explanation of their effect upon the observer, count in this address in General Harrison's fay or.not a gainst hi m, and we t h ink t ha t candid Democrats will be as quick as enthusiastic Republicans to recognize that fact." Comment by llerlln Taper. Berlin, March 5. Excopting the Tageblatt and the Vossische Zcitung, the papers here reserve their opinions on President Harrison's inaugural . address. TheTageblatt says that the address shows an arrogant spirit, and that it does not display particularly friendly feelings toward other powers. The Vossische Zeitung says: "Irriends of America hoped lor a more friendly disposition from Harrison than from Cleveland. The message hardly strengthens that hope in referring to American claims and interests as if necessarily supreme a view other nations will not be arise from ill-informed expectation that the message wonld contain some deliverance on the Samoan dispute which would indicate the intention of the new government to reverse the Bayard policy in a direction that would meet Germany's desires. More balanced aud better conceived utterances ought to appear in the semi-official press, which, though not likely to comment upon the message in a spirit of admiration, will not commit the mistake of supposing that Mr. Harrison ought to have made a more explicit statement regarding Samoa. In a brief allusion, the Politische Nachrichten speaks of Mr. Harrison's declarations as in every way calculated to inspire confidence in a speedv and successful settlement, the recall of Captain Learv already-indicating that another and healthier breeze has begun to blow in Washington. To-night's Post, alluding to the opening of the restored Kepublican regime, assumes that one of tho first steps of the Secretary of State will bo to appoint delegates to re conference on Samoa, in order that th question may be settled wit'jout delays The Post says that in any caso Mr. Pendleton will be one of the Aiiericiii delegates.

A Democratic Treasurer's Desire for Largo Interest Gets Him in Trouble. Receiver Appointed for the Lafayette ElectricLight Company Bi Damage Suit Suicide of a Farmer Shooting-Match. INDIANA. Franklin County's Treasurer Fails to Give Proper Ilond, and Is Ousted by Court. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Buookville, March 5. The Democracy of Franklin county are somewhat demoralized. Last fall Anthony Bender was the Democratic nominee for county treasurer, and was elected by a reduced majority. He gave bond and entered upon the discharge of his duties. In a short time thereafter he drew all the money then on deposit in the Urookville Bank, amounting to about $37v000, and ssid he was going to deposit it in Cincinnati, where he conld get interest on it. This action alarmed some of his bondsmen, and a few days ago one of them, C B. Martin, made application to the Circuit Court to be released therefrom. The court gave Mr. Bender ten days in which to file a new bond. Tho tenth day was last Friday, and about 8 o'clock in the evening Mr. Bender presented his bond which the court, after a careful examination,refused to approve, anddeclared the othce vacant, and ordered the clerk of the court to notify Governor Hovey of the faet. u The County Commissioners met yesterday in regular session and a great effort was made by Bender's friends to have him appointed. There is, however, considerable opposition to this. Some of the faithful say it is useless to appoint a man that cannot give bond, while others contend that he can give bond if he has enough time. There is no telling what the result will be. There aro good life-long Democrats praying that he will not be appointed, for they are hoping the lightning may strike them. Keceiver for an Electric-Light Company. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Lafayette, March 5. Considerable surprise was caused here, this morning, upon tho announcement that a receiver had been appointed for tho Lafayette Brush Electriclight Company. The Brush company, of Cleveland, held $20,000 in bonds of the Lafayette company, upon which the interest defaulted Jan. 1, 18S9. These bonds are secured by a mortgage upon the property of the local company. The complaint of the Brush company, of Cleveland, also alleges that tho Lafayette company is indebted in the sum of 825,000 to divers persons. The local company now has the contract for street-lighting in this city, and it is to protect this contract, which has a year yet to run, that John W. Heath, of this city, was appointed receiver.

NOT A DOLLAR IX THE FUND

Exhausting the Treasury, the SalaryGrabbers Would Like to Take the Safe. The State Has Not a. Cent to Tay Expenses, but the Democratic Wreckers Continue to Push Their Spiteful Measures. Stato Treasurer Lemcko went to his office, yesterday morning, to find that he had not a dollar in the general fund with which to pay any warrants that might be issued by tho Auditor of State. Tho latter officer, through his deputy, John W. Coon, notified, after 10 o'clock, all presenting vouchers that they would have to wait for their money until the Legislature made some provision for supplying the treasury. "It has to be done mighty quick," said Mr. Coons, with that amiability and emphasis of expression, which always characterize that gentleman's demeanor when anything is wrong with the general fund. "It's no use to talk to me. There is no money in the fund, and I can't issue any warrant. You get the Legislature to pass tho loan bill at once without any more foolishness, and we will have plenty of money." Just about this time life becomes almost unbearable for Mr. Coons, when, as if to add insult to injury, a half dozen or more Democratic legislators, twice that many clerks of the General Assembly and a score of doorkeepers began to present to him, one after another, vouchers for their weekly salary. The Deputy Auditor of State generally meets tho world with a fair amount of philosophy, but to contemplate the audacity of the legislative pirates was too much for Mr. Coons. It was suggestive of gophers, having emptied a safe of thousands of dollars, coming back after the safe. There is not only recklessness, cxtravaranee and criminal negligence in tho Legisaturo taking care of itself at tho sacrifice of other interests in tho present condition of State finances, but black ingratitude. Two years ago, when the Democratic sandbaggers pounded the life out of the Constitution for tho sake of Green Smith and Judge Turpie, they let the appropriationbills go to the committee's grave-yard, because they knew tho State could be carried on under tho continuous appropriation statute. But from that statute had been omitted the needs of the Stato Statistician, State Geologist, Judges of the Supreme Court and Attorney-general, all Democrats at that time except the latter officer and Judge Elliott, of the Supreme Bench. When there was no money for these officers, those among them of tiery and distinctive Democratic proclivities, began to plead for some arrangement by which they could be cared for during the two years. State Treasurer Lemcke told them that if they would give him a bond to reimburse him, in the event tho present General Assembly failed to make good the expenditure, he would give them enough money for their salaries and office expenses. Wm. A. Peelle, ir., State Statistician, Judges Nibblack, Zollars, Howk and Mitchell and Maurice Thompson, State Geologist, all Democrats, jumped at the agreement as a trout at a tempting fly. These gentlemen have been sorely tried, particularly that mild-tempered representative of Democracy, 'Mr. Feelle, by the deficiency bill being hung on a ver high nail. They want that r:isscd nt all hnzanls. or there is danirer 'from the bond that the State Treasurer i holds. This embarrassing condition out of .the way, they would unite heartily on ' pushing tho general appropriation further iback on theiilesuntiltncirpolitical friends, ythe legislative buccaneers, had obtained forty days more. But both the deficiency and appropriation bills are to bo brought out for a brief airing, possibly to-morrow, and if, as the pirates regard them, tho conditions are not favorable for consideration, in view of the demand for an extra session, both houses will no doubt take a turn at the Beasley infamy, which proposes to rip the continuous appropriation statute in two and leave the State penniless because partisan demands of about the cheapest lot of Democratic Senators and Representatives ever gathered together are not granted. When this gathering of political wreckers met on Jau. 10, with partisan measure after partisan measure concocted and to be put through under gag rule, brow-beating ;uud sand-bagging, there was $192,510.78 in rtho general fund. To-day there is not a dol..lar in t he treasury nor a cent in sight. Without returning the least equivalent in honest vork therefor the General Assembly has ot $S3,000 of that amount. It claims 12,000 more, for it appropriated at the beginning of the session $125,000 out of the $192,510.78 for its own use. The salaries of the Democratic pirates, their door-keepers 'and clerks have been called for with unintorrupted regularity. Their proportion to come out of the $42,000, if the money could be had, is large enough to make the printer and other creditors reflect upon the possibility of their getting anything at all out of the appropriation. But the General Assembly, in its raid on the general fund, allowed to the Treasurer to use 101,000 out oXthe $102,510.78 for the benevolent and penal institutions. The Democratic legislators, door-keepers, and clerks doubtless fell into an error as to Uio, amount of money in the fund, or they would have long '. exo this had there share of the money ' paid out to the institutions. They are not at all modest in asking for their weekly .salary. But $83,000 for tho General Assembly since the 10th of January and $101,000 for tho State institutions left only ,000 for all other expenses. Now that S8.000 is cone. tho Auditor of Sjtate has stopped issuing warrants, and the treasurer can throw his money drawer out of the window without losing a cent. To pass the deficiency bill, or the general appropriation bill, will do no good, for the Treasurer can get no money upon them. The Legislature must provide for a loan or the Senators and Representatives can place themselves among the creditors of the State. "That is not tho worst of it," said Stato Treasurer Lemckc. "April 1, tho salaries of all the State officers, their deputies aud clerks, of the Supreme, circuit, and Superior Court judges throughout the State, of the prosecutors in every judicial district, and the wages even of the men who clean out the Cnnitol will be due. I have not a cent to pay them. Just now we are reaching that time in the mouth when the benev olent, penal and reformatory in stitutions are to demand their money for maintenance and repairs. The Institution for Feeble-minded Youth, the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home and the Reform School at Plainfield, have got their allowances, but the trustees of the other institutions will have to whistle for their money. I cannot even call upon the counties for advances. They have made no collections for the State nor. are any due." Altogether the Democratic'Legislators have made a mess of financial legislation. m A Delightful Inland City. The last parts of "Illustrated Indianapo lis" are now being delivered.

Tlie Corporal's Squad of Disconsolate Democrats Hire a Hall in Vhich Tliey and Orator Darrow, of Chicago, Are Lost. The Stato Tariff Reform Leagne held a session yesterday morning at which the report of the committee on constitution was considered, and the name of the Indiana Tariff Reform Leagne suggested by the committee, was accepted, the league to consist of tho various tariff reform clubs throughout the State. There was considerable discussion over tne report of the committee on a permanent constitution as to the objects of the association, and the following, ollered by Mr. Foster, of Fort Wayne, was finally adopted in lieu of tho committee's views on that subject: "Unnecessary or unequal taxation is nnjust taxation. Tho Constitution warrants no tax but a revenue tax. which we believe ought to be levied with the view of exempting from taxation all necessaries of life." At tho afternoon session the following officers were elected: President, Stanley P. Porter, Indianapolis. Vice-presidents, J. O. Shankliu, Evansville; Cyrus E. Davis, lilooiufleld; Eli Menaujrn, Salem; Kichard Oregff, Aurora; W. J. Buchanan, Franklin; Austin Keedy, Connersville; Henry lloy; Anderson: Robert E. Geddes, Terre Haute; Samuel L. Ralston, Lebanon: Sidney 1L Moon, Rochester, A. F. Wright, Marion; C. II. Worden, Ft. Wayne; C. II. Keeve, Plymouth. Treasurer, John P. Frenzel, Indianapolis. On motion the president was given thirty days in which to appoint an executive com mittee, and when appointed the committee is authorized to employ a permanent secretary. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted: We, as representatives chosen from among the people of Indiana, who believe in "tariff reform," now in convention assembled, do declare: 1. That the system of federal taxation now in operation, framed in the first place to meet tne exigencies of war, and afterward modified only to meet the demands of avarice and satisfy the exactions of organized greed, is unequal in the distribution of its burdens, vicious in principle, iniquitous in its practical application, ami, if maintained, will ultimately subvert, as it now undermines, the foundations of our liberties. 2. We know that this system could not be maintained for a day but for the fact that its practical workings are disguised by indirect methods, and that tho masses, overburdened to support it, have not been able to discover, as they should know, how the reins with which they are driven are held in tho hands of monopoly, and tho heavy load they patiently draw is for the lap of luxury. We therefore do hereby pledge ourselves to devoto our energies, our time and our talents to the building up of an organization in Indiana through .which the people may be supplied with such literature and other means of education as will bring home to them a full realization of the burdens entailed upon them by this 63'stem, and if possible arouse such a spirit of resistauco to the methods of tlie monopolist and his allies as will render it impossible for them to further deceive the voters by false logic, to mislead them by side or dead issues, or to corrupt them by the methods of the boodler. To this end we invoke tho aid and co-operation of every citizen of our State, without regard to party, who believes that our government should be ad ministered in the spirit in which it was founded, and that our equality before the law should be maintained in fact as it is guaranteed in form. Sam E. Morss, I. N. Pierce, W. A. Pickens, Geo. W. Cooper, Kdoak A. Brown, Committee.The thanks of the body were tendered to various persons to whom it was indebted for favors, and a motion being made and carried to that effect, each person present contributed $1 for the use of theleague. After that the convention adjourned. There was rather a 6lender meeting at Tomlinson Hall, last night, to hear the speeches advertised by the league, although an earnest effort was made to have the labor organizations of the city present, and the speakers announced were such as were likely to attract the members of nuch associations. The main lioor was about one-third full, and with nobody in the galleries, and a scanty array of vice-presidents on the stand, the big hall had a lonesome and deserted look. Rev. Hugh O. Pentecost and other speakers noted on tho programme were conspicuous by their absence, but C. R. Darrow, of Chicago, was ? resent, and after Robert Ceddes, of Terre laute, had been selected as president of the meeting, and had stated its objects, Mr. Darrow was introduced as the orator of the evening. He is a smooth-faced, stridentvoiced young man who did yeoman's service, so to speak, for Mr. Cleveland during the recent campaign, and his address, which lasted some two hours, was largely a repetition of tho oration whicn had a tendency to tiro the Democratic heart during that memorable struggle. That it was still potent in that direction was evidenced by the loud, long and continued applause which greeted his froetrade argument. He said he had come to take part in an inauguration not the inauguration of a man, bnt of a measure and characterized the tariff system of this government as a species of slavery, more galling and oflensive than that which formerly held the blacks in bondage. He had com to advocate free trade pure and simple, and suggested that if a tariff policy was to be continued it would be cheaper to follow the plan of tho Chinese and build walls between ourselves and Canada on the north, and Mexico on the south, with forts at every harbor to keep out foreign fleets. The remainder of Mr. Darrow's remarks were a rehash ot well-known free-trado arguments, and his conclusion was an appeal to workingmen to stand by their organizations, and insist upon the reforms demanded by the Labor party. After this speech the lonesome audience dispersed. WHOA, JANUARY! .AJD. HEEETH, Manufacturer of TRUNKS VXD SADDLEKY. llorso Boots and Clothlnir. Traveling Bast and Baskets. 08 E. Wash. St. and 71 E.
