In the afternoon the subject of self-government was taken up with some remarks concerning tho ability to punish judiciously. Next came an illustration of how best to do map drawing, the subject being aptly illustrated from the black-board by Professor Sanders, the teachers rendering ready and profitable assistance. Professor Peck took up the subject of moral character, the necessity of obtaining it and the good results following its possession. Tho last hour of the day's session w as taken up by Professor Sanders, who told how political history should bo taught. Among the visitors at the institute yeaterdav were Kev.

GETTING READY TO TRADE

Democrats Not Anxious for a 3Iajorily in Council at tho Coming Election. They Kely on the Mayoralty to Help Them Through Schemes for the FutureJudge Sullivan Does Not Want the Office. DEMOCRATIC PURPOSES. Tho Mayoralty the Ofllce Most Desired, Even with a Loss of Councilmcn. Whilo the Democrats would liko to elect a Mayor, they are manifesting no anxious caro about the Council and Board of Aldermen. For the next two years, they argue, the Mayor will serve their purpose and relievo them of tho responsibility they do not desire under tho present system of municipal government They want to accomplish through the coming election what the Legislature failed to do in enacting unconstitutional laws. With a Democratic Mayor it is believed, assuming that a majority of the next Legislature will be of that party faith, to be the purpose to put the city in somo shape that probably, for years to come, will secure a Democratio government. This will bo tho hid-, den issue the Republicans and those who are convinced by tho party's record that nothing but fraud and corruption can come from tho Democratic organization, will have to confront. Tho Democratic managers know that a majority of their party in Council would destroy all chances of attaining control of the city through a Board of Tublic Works with power to do as it pleased. Hence they are willing to sacrifice Council for the mayoralty, and whoever is nominated for tho latter ofllce, Norton or Sullivan, there will be a slashing of couucilnianic candidates to obtain voters for the head of the ticket. This is the scheme in the inner circle of party managers, whero Thomas Taggart, county auditor and candidate for re-elec-. tiou a year hence, is ruling. How far Taggart is meddling with the candidates for Council is shown by an incident relating to the Twenty-second ward. Patrick J. Kellej', who now represents it iu Council, is seeking ro-election, but a Democratic influence iu the ward was so strongly against hiin that it brought out Martin J. Murphy, a clerk in Taggart' office, as his opponent. Taggart told Murphy to withdraw, although lie was sure of the nomination. Ho did so becauso his employer did not want to eee him sutler in the system of trading that is to bo pursued. Tho Democrats in the ward will let Kelley have tho place on the ticket, and if it bocomes necessary to sacrifice him it will be done. When asked yesterday why he withdrew Murphy replied: "Oh, l can atford to wait two years. My time will come then." So far as Taggart, of plausible state-' racnts and evasive replies, is willing to talk about the mayoralty nomination, ho occupies a neutral position. However, he thinks Sullivan will bo the nominee, although ho admits Norton is making a strong canvass, aud his chances aro not to be lightly considered. Judge Sullivan is not a candidate in tho sense of being one voluntarily. If another ambition, that of tho circuit judgeship, wfcs out of the way, it is probable he would decline with an emphasis that would leave no uncertainty as to his wishes. With him the position is simply ouo where a refusal to accept the nomination of Mayor means a destruction of his hopes of ever becoming thoparty'sl candidato for circuit judge. Ho is willing to invest in tho coming camEaign solely on tho risk of increasing is chances for tho future. "I am not a oandidato for Mayor," said the Judgo yesterday to a Journal reporter: "I do not want tho position, aud 1 have been doing nothing to becuro it. I have said, though, that if tho convention gives mo tho nomination I will accept it." "Your friends then have been solicitous in having 'ou as the candidate!" "Yes; but personally I do not want to bo Mayor. Iftheconrt business that official has to attend to was not to bo considered, my desire might bo different. That is a burden, and practically occupies all the time of the Mayor. Ho is not free from it even when away from tho court-room. But, if it was my wish to become Mayor, I think it would be at this time, as I believe our party will succeed." But in the nomination of Sullivan the Democratic leaders must devise somo plan by which Norton's friends can be placated. The latter have gono into tho canvass with such earnestness that a defeat of their plans means a factional strife unless something is done to keep them in Hue. That, of course, is the Co3f jrang, and as usual it is back of ticket of its own Norton for Mayor and James W. McGinnis for city clerk. McGinnis is closely identified with the Coy element. When the tally-sheet forgery trials were on he collected money to be spent in behalf of the conspirators. By soliciting tho employes of the internal revenue and postotlice to contribute ho obtained $23, which wns paid to John E. Sullivan. McGinnis is in the canvass for all it will bring. Ho is up early and late and thero is not a saloon in the citv whero ho has not beeu with a pocketful of ready money. At his call the crowds aro always prompt to drink with him. He will evidently have the convention with him if Norton does fail. His nomination will bo the one to keep tho gang along with tho ticket if Sullivan is at the head of it. So, wherever the Democrats turn they must in some form or other provide for Coy and his candidates. Norton After Information. A well-defined rumor was current upon tho streets last night to the etiect that letters had passed between Judges Sullivand and Norton regarding the mayoralty nomiination. It was also stated as a posibility that the name of but one of the gentlemen would be presented to the coming convention Investigation continued the rumor in part, but there is no reason to warrant one in believing that tho nomination will go to anyone without a contest. Yesterday Sullivan received a letter from Norton saying, in substance, that certain persons not tho friends of Sullivan, the writer or of the party were longing to make trouble between them, and if Sullivan desired to make the race for Mayor ho Norton would step down and out. Sullivan replied that he had no desire to bo a candidate and did not want the otlieo, but added that ho had said to some of his friends within the past few days that if the convention nominated him he would make tho race. As thus denned. Sullivan's position seems to bo one of inditferenco to tho nomination, but of willingness to accept it at the demand of the party. PHASES OF THE CANVASS. "What a Reporter Ascertained In Talking Politics to Rusincss Men. ..South Meridian street is beginning to yawn and inquire a littlo as to tho approaching city election. That thoroughfare is usually wide enough awake as to business, but it requires a national campaign to make it fully alive and ready for work, There was a little lazy and desultory conversation yesterday as to the mayoralty, aud in addition to the names heretoforo mentioned as good timber for Uepublican nominations for that office, the names of Kufus Si'fers, John B. Conner and Judgo Martindale were heard. "Of course, Mr. Caven. or Colonel Millard, or General Poster, or some of the other gentlemen who have been named, would suit inc." said Captain W. I). Wiles, "but I was thinking that Judgo Martindale would make a Mayor that would give Indianapolis tho biggest advertisement tho town ever had." Mr. Syfers was asked how he liked tho suggestion of his name for the mayoralty. "Couldn't thiuk of it for a minute. Pm in the wholesale grocery business exclusively, aud nothing else." Later nu tho reporter heard the name of John B. Conner mentioned as that of ono who would make a thoroughly koiiihI camlittatc, and who, if elected, would bring to the office a practical knowledge of affairs that would bo highly desirable. 'There'll not be much dress parade," remarked a solid man of the street, "about Mr. Conner, who, by the

way, was a captain in the Union army, but he will attend to the material interests of the city." There is tho usual clamor raised about the conncilmanic nominations," remarked a gentleman to the reporter. "For tho most part I believe the Republican nominations are good ones. Mr. Pearson has had long experience, and men like him are needed in a Conncil that will have, of courso, much new aud orue rather green timber in it. There is a bright outlook for tho Republicans on the South Side, whero the good people are growing tired of tho domination of the bad elements. We may confidently look for gains in that quarter." The remnant of Democracy that lingers on South Meridian street is by no means jubilant over the outlook, and there is much speculation as to what the outcome will be when Chairman Taggart and Simeon Coy lock horns. Those comprised in the remnant are afraid it is too much to hope for that Coy will yield, even for tho sake of harmony, after all tho sacrifices ho has made for the party. They look with dire apprehension at the coming storm, with its cyclonic center in the Eighteenth ward. Democratic Candidates for Council. Some few additional Democratic candidates for Conncil were announced yesterday, and tho list up to dato stands about as follows: First ward, John A. Webber; Third ward, Alexander McClary; Fourth

ward, Edward Scherrer, M. G. Hornaday; Seventh ward, Orvillw Grose; Eighth ward, Emil Bassman. Christian Off. Frank Wil-

sou; Ninth ward. W. W. Woollen; Tenth ward, W. C. Allen; Fourteenth ward, John H. Evraann; Fifteenth ward, Patrick Harold, W. W. Cheeznm, Michael Burns; Sixteenth ward, Robert Emmetr. Captain McHugh; Seventeenth ward, William Hickliu; Eighteenth ward. Joseph Bauer, Simeon Coy: Nineteenth ward. Thomas Dufiie, W. y. Rnssie, Edward Austin. Dr. Harford, John O'Connor: Twentieth ward. O. R. Thomas Markey, Harold Schmidt; Twentyfourth ward, Jamel Johnston, Charles Gauss; Twenty-fifth ward. Fred Gaul, Richard Noland. William Flaherty. The Democratio candidates for aldermen in tho Fourth district, aro Tim Clark and Hcnr' Laut. and in tho Fifth district Julius Reinecke, John Reardon, Fred Mack and John Blackwelk Kelleys Opponent. Notwithstanding Martin J. Murphy's withdrawal from the raco for Council in the Twenty-second ward, Patrick J. Kelley is to havo an opponent for tho nomination. He is a man, too, that Taggart cannot call off, as ho represents the Democratic German element. The candidate is Geonre M. Gimbel, who is employed at tho store of Schnnll &.Son. Mr. Gimbel is a youn? man who will satisfy tho better clement of the Democrats, which Kelley has not done. Ho will begin his canvass to-day and give it his attention until the closo of the primaries tonight. Energetic "Work Required. "With a first-class nomination for Mayor and equally good men in tho three Republican districts as aldermanio candidates7 said a well-posted politician yesterday, "tho Republicans can carry the citv this fall against any combination tho Democrats can form. It will require prompt and energetic work to accomplish it, but it can be done. Tho proposition to nominate Thalman in the Second district is a good ono, and he ought to have as goodfa man as his associate on the ticket." Too Much of Sullivan. ' Judgo Norton's friends are talking about tho opportunities persons other than Judgo Sullivan ought to enjoy. "It is always Sullivan," said a Democrat, yesterday. "Whenever our party has an oflico to bestow it is the opinion of Sullivan's friends that no ono but he ought to havo it. Tho fact is, every time we have had Sullivan as a candidato ho has been defeated. On the other hand, Norton has been before the people but once, and then he was elected by fa largo majority." Suggestive of Past Campaigns. ' It is suggestive of tho municipal election two years ago to see Coy, Bernhamcr, Spencer and Beck exchanging views. The four were not together yesterday, but Coy saw them all in turn. Sim's gang is loyal to him, and auy effort of the coming Democratic convention to set that iuiiueuco aside will bo resisted to the utmost. (, Two New Suggestions. .jCoroner Wagner and W. W. Herod wero among those mentioned yesterday as suitable candidates for Mayor on tho Republican ticket. , PREPARATIONS FOR LABOR DAT. r: Observance of It Next Jlonday by the TradesUnions and Knights of Labor. ! Tho employes at Kingan's pork-houso will be given a holiday on Labor day, so they can take part in tho parade with'the trades-unions. The committe in charge of tho demonstration will place a special car at their disposal, so their families can attend the picnic at Hammond's Grove. t This action on the part of the employers is notable ns the first response to the request of Mayor Denny, issued day beforo yesterday, that business men and manufacturers arrango as far as possible to permit their employes to take part in tho celebration. If the other business establishments follow the example set them, the demonstration ou Labor day will bo an imposing one. The Knights of Labor committee held an adjourned meeting last night, at which considerable business was transacted. Returns for the sale of tickets wore made and they indicate the success of the demonstration at the Exposition grounds. The programme for the horso-raciug is complete, and tho list of entries contains eighteen horses, with records ranging from 2:20 to 2:40, including several from Chicago. Tho several orphans' homes have replied to invitations sent them, accepting the samo and promising to be represented at the picnic. The committee on privileges has met with success, indicating confidence upon the part of bidders. Arrangements havo been perfected for a continuous collection, during the day, for tho Clay county miners, which will bo added to tho K. of L. fund of $1,000 per week, proffered them by General Master Workman Powderly. Ample arrangements have been niado for police protection. A Church Anniversary. The twentieth anniversary of the Southstreet Baptist Church will bo observed Sunday, together with exercises, to mark tho anniversaries of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor and the Sun-day-school. In the morning an historical sermou will be delivered by the pastor, and at 0:4.1 and 7:45 i. m. tho other exercises will take place. Monday eveniug, at 8 o'clock, thcro will bo a fellowship meeting. Tho Light Infantry Case Postponed. The case of Herbert Shirk vs. Nicholas R. Buckle, Adjutant-general, on a writ of habeas corpus to test the validity of the arrest of members of tho Indiauapolis Light Infantry came up yesterday morning before Judge Taylor. On motiouof the defendant the bearing was postponed until 10 a. .m. to-day. Charles W. brnith appeared as attorney for tho Adjutant-general. There "Will De a Surplus. President Langsdale, of tho Soldiers' Monument Commission, is engaged in auditing the expense acconuts incident to tho corner-stone laying. While tho indebtedness has not yet been ascertained with certainty, it is known that there will bo a surplus after all debts are paid. i llefore Judge Irvln.

OBJECT TO DISCRIMINATION'.

Hominy 3Iillers Take a Complaint to the Interstate-Commerce Commission. An Associated Press dispatch from Washington, yesterday, says there has been filed with tho Interstate-commerce Commission the complaint of Hervey Bates and Hervey Bates, jr., who aro engaged here in tho business of milling, against the Pennsylvania Railioad Company and tho Pennsylvania Company. The complainants, operating the Indianapolis hominy-mills, allego that the defendants, by the terms of their freight tariff uow in force, persist in a serious and ruinous discrimination against their business. This, it is asserted, is to tho advantage and profit of all millers making the samo or similar goods at ornear theseaboard, near tho Eastern termini of tho railroads operated by tho compauies defendant. The dispatch notes that tho defendants now charge as freight on corn, from Indianapolis to New York city, lS1 cents per 100 pounds weiirht; at the same time charging and collecting ns freight on ground corn, cracked corn and corn-meal, crits and hominy and the refuse or offal, from tho manufacture of said cereal, viz.: feed at the rate of 23 cents per hundred pounds. It is alleged this affords a direct and immediate advantage to the miller at tho East of 42 cents per 100 pounds and places upon complainants a disadvantage and consequent loss exactly corresponding to the gain of the Eastern competitor. A Journal reporter called upon Maj. Hervej' Bates last evening aud read the dispatch to him. "That is correct," said he. "The Western hominy millers, ten or twelve firms, havo all protested, and have been protesting ever 6ince this discrimination began. The protest has not been in regard to one road, but to all that indulged in the practice; but we havo been unablo to effect anything," "What, if any, expression has come from the railroad officials?" "Almost all of them have expressed themselves as against such discrimination and anxious to restore rates, but. the3' don't do so because the B. fc O.. which first put down the rate on corn, persists in maintaining the low rate. Tho 13. &. O. did so to draw shipments of corn from the Northwest to Baltimore, and other roads immediately followed the cut. It extended to wheat, but tho wheat men soon made themselves heard, and the rato on wheat was put back, aud there is no discrimination against Western wheat-millers. It is only corn-millers who suffer, and, though some of the roads say it is unjust, nothing is done to amend it. Iu the diff erence in price between corn and corn-meal the margin is so small that this 4 cents in favor of the Eastern miller amounts to a practical prohibition of the shipment of products by the Western miller." What do the Eastern corn-millers say to this state of affairs!" "They wear a broad grin, and are immensely pleased with the situation. So we appeal to tho Interstato Commission. All the Western corn-millers aro interested, and several of them will be in Indianapolis next month to join us in presenting tho case when tho commission is to meet horc. The third section of tho intcrstate-commerco law is very broad. It says railroads are common carriers, and shall not discriminate in favor of any person, firm, corporation or locality in any manner whatsoever, aud the same section repeats tho samo thing in other Avoids, with evident intent to cover every possible case. - Goods upon railroads are carried in classes, and it might bo that tho companies, later on, may peek to evade tho law by a new classification of corn-meal. I think the evasion of the law would bo an evident violation of it, because tho law says no railroad shall, in anyway, so arrango its business as to discriminate against any shippers." Ms there any greater trouble or loss to the railroad in shipping ground corn than corn in the grain?" "Not at all; on the contrary, they get more freight out of our 6tuff than they do out of com, and there is less loss to tho road in case of a. wreck, or damage by water, if tho freight is corn-meal, than if it is corn. If the interstate-commerce law was made for any purpose it was to placo every ono on tho samo footing. Wo certainly havo great hopes that the commission will decide this discrimination to be unjust. Understand, there is no unfriendliness in this suit. It is a direct way to justice, that is all. Wo ask the commission to decide the matter, so that it will bo settled for all time, aud that wo may know what to do." SCHOOL-BOOKS AND MANAGEMENT. 1 1 The Old Nlles Geography Doctored for the i ' Indiana Trade. Requisitions for the school-books that havo been discarded in California, Illinois and Missouri continue to reach the Superintendent of Public Instruction. They aro not, however, of sufficient importance to warrant tho publishers in still counting on tho enormous profit they expected to make in ono year out of Indiana trade. It is doubtful, as limited as the orders havo been, at tho request of tho Indiana School-book Compauy if it will bo able to havo all the schools supplied at the beginning of their terms. But some places aro getting their supplies, and disappointment and unfavorable criticism follow when tho books are examined. In ono or two instances the worst deception on tho part of the publishers has been revealed. Under the contract the company is bound to furnish practically a new geography, with a number of pages special' given to Indiana. ' A special dispatch from Hartford City to this paper, received last night, notes a discovery made thero which will not be likely to commend tho Becktold-Williams series in that locality, whatever may be the effect elsewhere in the State. Tho title page of ono of the lot of elementary geographies received there reads: "Indiana Educational Series, Elementary Geography. Indiana School-book Company, Indiauapolis, Ind., 1880." Suspecting that things wero not what they seemed, tho cover was carefully scraped oft", revealing tho fact that the ireography was an old one printed in lSisr. The title page shows it to bo "Merrill's Elementary Geography, Sanford Miles Edition, St. Paul, Minn., D. D. Merrill, publisher. 1885." Tho fly-leaf had been newly printed, and pasted in. What other deceptions are in theso books will probably come to light during the next two weeks, when they come into tho hands of the people who will have to pay for them. It is beginning to be a matter of great doubt whether tho books will bo cheap at auy price. Additional Supervising- Teachers. On Sept. 9 tho public schools of the city will open and two new supervisors will be inducted into office. One of theso is H. M. Butler, who will supervise the music, and the other Is J. H. Woodruff, supervisor of penmanship. Mr. Butler comes from St. Joseph, Mo. He has had twenty years' experience, fourteen of which wero in the schools of St. Louis. Mr. Woodruff for six years held the position of supervisor of penmanship in the schools of Minneapolis. m An Italian Uprising. The depressed stato of the peanut trado for the last few days, and tho further shrinkage of peanut profits by bauana pntrefaction, caused an emeuto among tho Italians on Kentucky avenue last evening, during which a little Roman, named Mike Angelo, was hit iu the head with a brick. The police arrested Angelo, but the other combatants escaped. The row attracted a large crowd, and furnished considerable excitement for the neighborhood. Pell by the Wayside. A boy, who gave his name as Frank Besley, was found on the South Side by ono of tho patrolmen yesterday, lying near the railroad tracks and suffering from a raging fever. Ho said ho had come from Kansas, and was trying to reach his homo in the southern part of the State. He was sent to tho City Hospital. Will Invest in Lands. The Indiaua Brown Stone Company, of Dubois county, was incorporated yesterday, with a capital stock of 100,000. The company will deal in real estato in all the counties of tho State, especially iu lands yielding coal, stone and natural gas. Y. 3L C. A. Athletics. The Indiauapolis Athletic Club proposes to donate tho material owned by it. in tho

shape of tennis, lacrosse and base-ball ont iits. tents, etc.. to the new Y. M. C. A. Athletic Park of this city. Tho grounds are now about ready forthe field-day exercises, with which the park will be opened on the 7th prox. Thero is to be a full programme, and the entries in the different classes show thero will be no lack of contestants. The prizes in each class will be given by business men interested in tho movement.

INDUSTRIAL PARAGRAPHS. The Rolling Mill Will Probably He Used for fllaking Iron Bridges. It is stated that tho DePauws. large owners in tho Indiauapolis rolling-mill, will within tho next thirty days take steps to put it into operation. It is probable it will be used in manufacturing heavy ironwork for bridges and other structures. There is an increasing demand throughout the country for this kind of work, as railroad companies, cities and towns are replacing wooden structures with either iron or stccl-wor Has IJejjun Operations. The Indianapolis Wagon Company yesterday put together its first work. Tho company begins operations in a three-story building, 200 feet long by fifty wide, in tho rear of tho Woodburn wheel and Atkins saw-works. The company expects within a few days to have fifty men or mora at work, and during tho coming yar it is thought it will have 250 men on the payroll. THE S1I0RT-HAND WRITERS. They Are Well Satisfied at the Result of Their First Stato Convention. From tho interest manifested in the Stenographers' State Association during the sessions which closed yesterday afternoon it is likely to be an organization that will bo of practical value to its membership. The morning opened with a special meeting of otiicial court reporters, in which ways aud means were discussed as to how to arouse the reporters over tho Stato to concerted action toward a change in the present unsatisfactory law regulating tho pay and practice of short-hand in the courts. In this tho stenographers have, to a great extent, tho hearty co-operation of the best lawyers in tho State, who recognizo tho fact that tho compensation received is insufficient for tho service done. Following this came Mr. Blue's paper on "Early Short-hand:" "Shorthand as a Science" by Mrs. A. D. Leach, of Sullivan, and, after an intermission "Special Preparation for Short-hand Work" by S. H. East, of Indianapolis. Seventy-one stenographers had up tothis time signed tho constitution, which was iu excess of the number expected at the lirst meeting, and made every one very enthusiastic at so auspicious a beginning. Numerons telegrams and letters were received from snort-hauders all over tho State regretting their inability to be present, business preventing their attendance. "Warsaw was selected as the place for holding the next annual session, the dato being left to the. executive committee. Zocal Speed Tests in TypeWriting. Ono of the interesting features of tho Stato Stenographers' Convention, just closed, was the exhibitions of speed on the type-writer by Mr. Osborne, who is one of the most rapid operators in the country. His work has never been surpassed in this city, except by Mr. F. E. McGurrin, who gave a speed test iu type-writing last January, at the rooms of tho Business University, in tho When Block. A Remington machine was used, and the following record was mode and published iu the city papers of Jan. 25: "Prom dictation, 12412 words per minute; blindfolded, from dictation, 108 words per minute, aud on memorized sentence, 155 words. The exhibition had a convincing effect on operators who had taken incredulously the reports of McGurrin's skill." The recent record, made by Mr. Osborne on tho Cali graph is as follows: From dictation, 115 words per minute, and on memorized sentence, 149 words. The memorized sentence was the ono used by Mr. McGurrin last winter, and it will be seen that Mr. Osborne, after seven months' practice, has failed to equal Mr. McGurrin's record. In the unfamiliar matter ne has fallen short of McGurrin's work nearly ten words per minute. And Don't Fvrget J, That Hill's Sliding Inside Blinds are gaining in favor overy day.
