lion. John W. Lovett, Repnpllcan candidate for Attorney-general. The speech was one of the ablest and moat eloquent heard here for years, and during the two hours ocenpied by the speaker he had the closest attention of all present, the crowd increasing all the time instead of diminishing. He showed how protection would develop the vast and varied industries of the State of Indiana, would increase the value of the farmer's land and products of the soil, and at the same time would cheapen by competition all the necessaries of life. He exppsed the fallacy of the Democratic proposition that the McKinley bill would raise the price on the necessaries of life, and challenged any Democrat present to . stand up and show an article of clothingworn by him on which a cent of duty had been paid. He contrasted the policy of the Republican piny with that of its opponent, and showed that while the policy of the former seeks to make of Indiana a State preat in manufacturing and commercial interests, a well as agriculture, the latter was "higgling over the price of tin cups and pearl buttons." His manner of handling the State debt queHtion and the gerrymander was very eHective, and convinced all doubting minds that the Democratic party was not to be trusted on questions of finance and conscience. Round after round of applause erected the telling points made by the speaker, and at the close of the speech three ronsiig cheers were given by the large audience for the next Attorneygeneral and the giand old party. The Republicans are in high spirits over the meeting, and from now on until the 4th of November will do their whole duty. Schemes of Decatur County Democrats. Bieia to the Indianapolis Journal. Gree'sburg. Oct. 26. As the time for election approaches the people are becoming thoroughly aroused as to its importance. Both parties have schools of instruction to teach the voters the intricacies of the new election law. It seems now that the new li will certainly inure to the benefit of the Republicans. The Democrats are persistent in trying to get persons who are naturally Republican to promise to put on their tickets some marks ' or writing that will invalidate the ballots. The Republican leaders are, however, fully aware of their schemes, and will prevent anything of the kind. Other desperate plans have been adopted, including the appointment of a Democrat at eacb polling place as a United States supervisor. The exposure of their secret works does them great harm with the intelligent voters of this county. The Ewing and Armington factions of the Democratic party are still lighting each other and will not be reconciled. Republicans are hopeful and were much encouraged by the magnificent audience that heard Hon. Stanton J. Peelle at the Rink Opera-house last night, notwithstanding the very inclement weather. His speech was masterly, treating of the many live issues of the day. Tarple and Matthew Disgusted. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Bates viLLE, Oct. 25. For the past month l;.rge flaming bills have advertised the fact that the apostles of Democracy, Senator Turpie and Claude Matthews, would speak here on the 23d inst. Our Democratic papers in this section made the occasion very prominent by inserting announcements time and again in their editorial columns. The Democrats here had made all preparations for the reception of a large crowd of their brethren. The 23d came, and so did Messrs. Turpie and Matthews, but, to the surprise of the Democratic brethren, the crowd did not materialize, and the meetiug was a failure. In fact, there was no meeting at all. The two would-be speakers boarded the earliest train for Indianapolis, without even so much as forming the acquaintance of their followers hero at Batesville. This incident is an indication of the feeling that the people entertain toward the Democratic party here. Mr. Wilson, Republican candidate for auditor, will defeat his oppouent, Mr. Cornet, by a large majority. Successful Meeting at liloomlngton. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomixgton, Oct. SC. Last evening a large crowd gathered in the court-room and listened to two excellent addresses. Mr. Parke Daniels, of Indianapolis, opened the meeting with a very clear and forcible speech of an hoar and a half's length on the tariff question and tne ruoro important State issues. Mr. Daniels's speech was very effective, especially among the students and voting men. Senator Thomas E. Boyd, of Koblesville, appearing for the first time in Monroe county this campaign, followed with one of his characteristic appeals to the voters. His address elicited rounds of applause, and a Horded an excellent conclusion to a very successful meeting. Monroe county Republicans are awake to the importance of carrying the coming election and will certainly do their part toward bringing about this result. Milton Trnsler and T. TV. Lockhart. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Tipton, Oct 2a Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather the Republicans held a rousing meeting here last Saturday, the Kleyla Theater being packed to its utmost capacity. The meeting was addressed by Milton Trusler, the farmers' candidate for Secretary of State, and Thos. W. Lockhart, of Lebanon. Mr. Tiusler led in a speech of one hour. He made a clear and concise presentation of the State debt and single tax questions and set the many farmers who own real estate to thinking. Thus. V. Lockhart followed in a masterly speech of an hour, his address being a fitting climar to such a splendid meeting. Hon. John Worrell at Marengo. Special to The Indianapolis Journal. MakencjO, Oct. 2C. -Hon. John Worrell, candidate for Statistician on the Renublican ticket, spoke to a large audience at the public school building at this place la6t evening. The best attention was given during the entire speech, The speaker is a man that fully understands the situatiou of allairs aDd has the ability to explain them in a clear, logical and effective manner and in a way that no one can take offense at, but. to the contrary.mnst accede to his arguments. Every one was well pleased with his speech. Mr. Worrell is adding many voters to the Republican ranks wherever he speaks. DAILY WEATIIEU BULLETIN.

DROWNED IN LAKE ERIE. Barge Blown on the Cleveland Breakwater and borne of the Crew Washed Off and Lost.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 2C A beavy northcaster has raged on Lake Erie all day, creating a terrible sea. The steamer John X. Nicol, with the barge Wahnapitae in tow, bound from Washburno to Fairport, with lumber, tried to make the protected harbor at 8 o'clock this evening, and later went on the breakwater. Captain Nicol, his wife and the crew of seven clambered to the breakwater and clung to cleats, the waves washing over them every moment. The captain, the mate and John Williamson started for the light-house on the end of the breakwater, . and the latter was washed over and drowned. Ora W. Smith, of Oswego, and K. II. and James Rellamy, of Algonac. Mich., who were left behind, were washed olF, and Smith was drowned. James Bellamy swam to an approaching tug, and his brother clung to the breakwater until rescued by the life-saving crew. Light-house-keeper Hatch put out in a small boat, with a line attached under the leo of the breakwater, and got Mrs. Nicol and Theodore Sanborn on board. The boat upset and Hatch fought his way through the waves along the rope to the light-house. Sauborn clung to the boat aud was saved by a tug. The Wahnapitao is worth SWHX), and had 1,800,000 feet of lumber on board consigned to Gardner, of Fairport. GOLD DISLIKED BY BANKERS. An Unwieldy Coin That Has to He Scrutinized Closely to Avoid Loss. Special to tbe Indianapolis J onrnal. Washington, Oct. & Do you know that gold is the most unwieldy of all the different kinds of money now in circulation?' said a prominent banker to your correspondent. "Why!" was asked. ''Because it is not bankable without careful scrutiny." "How istbatP "Simply this: Take a greenback, a silver certificate, a gold certificate or a nationalbank note to your bank, and it is received and placed to your credit without a mo xnent's delay. Not so with gold. A few days ago a gentleman brought to our bank upwards of $3,000 in gold of dillerent denominations, and was much provoked because wo would not receive it forthwith and give him credit with the amount the face of the coin represented. This we could not do, because the law requires that gold shall be redeemed only at its actual value. Coins carried, in tbe pocket for any length of time naturally lose something in weight by abrasion, probably but a fractional part of a cent on a ten-dollar piece, but it is a loss, nevertheless, and therefore bankers cannot give credit for gold deposits nntil the coin shall have bee n weighed. In the case in point my friend took his gold to the Treasury Department and was compelled to wait there nearly an hoar before he could pet notes for it. Every coin bad td be passed through the scales, and after the weighing process had been completed three coins two five-dollar pieces and one ten-dollar piece were returned to him as short in weight. Before returning short-weight coins the department stamps on the face of each a cross. The owner is left to either send the coins to the United States mint for redemption or to again put them into circulation. Eventually the coins with crosses on their faces will go to the mint and be redeemed at their actual value. In many instances there may not be more than several cents shortage on &30 worth of coin. Business men, however, naturally object to the inconvenience, and get rid of their gold as fast as possible" Mrs. Harrison May Visit Indianapolis. Special to the Indlanauolis Journal. Washington, Oct. 20. Mrs. Harrison expects to have the White House in company order in three weeks' time. Tho decorations in the Blue Room will be finished then and all other improvements about the house will be brought to a close before that.

THE SALVATION MOTHER.

A Remarkable Woman Who Wu a Power In the World and in ller Family. London Queen. Mrs. Booth probably did more to establish the right of women to preach than any ono who has ever lived, and yet, curiously, when her daughters began to develop the same taste, she did not at first like tho idea of their preaching; 6he rather anticipated (to use her own words) '"their working for God in more quiet and congenial methods.' When .La Marechale, at the age of fifteen, developed into a preacher, Mrs. Booth tells ns that, "not being fully emancipated from my old ideas of propriety, 1 remonstrated, and urged such objections as I presume any other mother, consecrated, but not fully enlightened, might have urged against her being thrust into a nublic position at such an early age. My eldest son (Mr. Bratuwell Booth) said to me, "Mother, you will have to settle this question with God. for she is as nearly called and inspired by Him for this particular work as yourself.' These words were God's message to my soul, and helped me to pull myself upas to the ground of my objection." It is diflicult to ay whether Mrs. Booth has been moro remarkable as a preacher and organizer or as a mother. She has ever recognized to the fullestherdnties as a wife and a mother, and has trained all her eight children, with the exception of one, who is in delicate health, to follow in her footsteps. The following are the names of her sons and daughters, wit h the positions which they hold in the Salvation Army: W. Bramwell Booth, chief of the stall; Catherine Booth (marechale), commissioner for France, Ballington Booth (marshal), chief of forces. United States of America; Emma Booth (Mrs. Booth Tucker), commissioner for India; Herbert Ii. Booth, commandant, charge of Great Britain and Ireland; Eva Booth, field commissioner, etc.; Lucy Booth, training-home mother; Mary Booth, invalid. Those who were present at the marriage of the commissioner for India with Commissioner Tucker will not easily forget the few words said by Mrs. Booth on that occasion; she told the vast andience what it cost her to give up her children to let them go to foreign lands on dangerous commissions. She was at that time believed to be dying, and each sentence she spoke cost her an effort. Constantly the General sprang up to whisper words of encouragement, fearing that she would break down. It was known at that time that she was sufi'eriug from cancer, and that her life could not be prolonged over many years. Since then she has been slowly sinking. She has had a great dislike to surgical operations; but every remedy tried has failed to give prolonged relief, and from time to time she has endured great suffering. Much of her time has lately been spent in dictating or revising .Reminiscences'' of her life, which are to be published. This book will be the story of her long and earnest ministry, from the time she began to preach to the day when she saw the desire of her heart accomplished. and could say that the sun never sets on the vast organization which was established in 1&G5 by herself and her husband. KING OF BUFFALO. Modest American Citizen's Trying Experience of Being Worshipped as m Monarch. Albany JournalFew dwellers in this stronghold of Republican institutions ever had the pleasure of tastina the sweets of royalty. There have been instances where an American, by dint of energy and a judicious nso of the secrets of civilization, has risen to be monarch of some South sea isle and has lorded it for a time over a state peopled with tattooed aborigines,but overjthe heads of citizens as enlightened as himself, no genuine American has ever wielded the scepter. But, though no inhabitant of this country ever was an actual irresponsible ruler over his fellows, there is one man who could, if he wished, tell how it feels to be an American despot. This man is a native of Buffalo, and his name is James I. King. Mr. King is at present abroad, and it was there that he became, for a brief space of time, to all intents and purposes, a monarch. At Carlsbad he fell in with one of those government oflicers, which are not unusual on the other side of the ocean. In answer to the demand of this officer he gave his name: James 1. King, of Butialo. The good 'people of Carlsbad were straightway informed that they were entertaining unawares no less. a person than '"James I King, of l'uffalo." If the Germans had possessed any knowledge of American aiiairs, they would have known at once that "Hilly" Sheehan was the only person in Butialo who, with any show of truth, could lay claim to royal honors; unfortunately, they have no such knowledge, and Mr. King, so far as they are concerned, was as much absolute monarch of Butialo as though he had been crowned by the assembled brewers on the shores of Lake Erie. Whether at first he found his sudden elevation pleasant or otherwise is not yet known; it is certain that his subsequent experiences were not of a character to encourage him to continue in the monarch business any longer than was absolutely necessary. The dispatch announcing the event says: "The effect on the more ignorant of the Carlsbadians was simply astounding. The modest pseudo monarch was at once set upon at his hotel by such a shoal of tradesmen, beggers, tuft hnnters, promoters of stock companies and schemes for tho greater or less civilization of the dark continent, these being the latest German fad, that the unfortunate American was compelled to Hy incontinently before the storm, and leave by the first available train." Mr King, it will be noticed, had an excellent opportunity to prove the truth of the old adage, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." His experience is unique and should go far to reconcile title-worshipping Americans to their lot. If Mr. King, of Buffalo, found it more pleasant to be a simple American citizen than a prince of the blood, is it not probable that other citizens of the United States will come to the same conclusion! Hereafter, let all Americans treat foreign monarchs with courtesy and consideration; but if the said monarchs offer to swap places let the oiler be refused, gently but firmly. Mark Twain Convinced Washington Btar. A story is told that on one occasion Charles Dudley Warner, who is neighbor and friend to Mark Twain, wanted him to go walking, and Mark, as usual, refused, Dudley insisted, but to no purpose. "You ought to do it" he said finally. It's according to Scripture, No "Mark the perfect man' chestnuts on me." replied the wily humorist. "Where's your authority t" ."The fifth, chapter of Matthew, verse the forty-first" said Mr. Warner, "which reads thus; 'And whoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him, Twain." Mr. Clemens went with Mr. Warner that time. New Verbs. Kansas City Journal. ' "The new verb, to McKinley,' which is heard everywhere, on tho streets and in the stores," says the St. Louis Republic, "means to make an unreasonable and uncalled-for advance in price." And the new verb "to Jones" which is becoming qmto common wherever the St. Louis Republic is known, moans to make an unreasonable and uncalled-for ass ot oneself. Hut One Left Washington Special. But one Democratic pension agent now remains on the list. This last remnant of the Clevelandadniini&tratiou in this branch of the service is Agent Shenkelbarger, of Uutlalo.

Nebraska Journal. The fact is that ready clothing imported from Europe is only of the mobt costly kind. It is the clothing of the rich aud not of the economical.

The ri6e in price predicted by tbe Democrats fails to materialize, much to their disgust. Forgetting Their Tenets. Ban Francisco Cbronlcto. - The free-trade writers who so glibly discuss the advantages of cheapness entirely overlook the important fact that all economists, not excluding the prominent lights of Cobdenism, are agreed that the surest sign of prosperity is a rising market, aud that an unmistakable evidence of dullness and depresai on is falling prices.

TIlATNtNO FOR CITIZENSHIP. College Authorities Trying to Figure Out How to Fit Men for Public Duties. Boston Herald. President Gates, of Amherst College, did himself much credit in his speech before the Massachusetts Schoolmasters' Club, on Saturday afternoon, and his points were exceedingly well made. He was asked to speak on "Tne kind of training the schools should give for citizenship,' and he led the thought for the occasion and gave free expression to the convictions which are entertained by most of the public schoolteachers in this State. Dr. Brooks and ex- . Governor Long followed him and enlarged upon different points, but President Gates by all odds made the speech of the afternoon. It is a good sign when the teachers of Massachusetts are discussing the question here raised. It is not, however, the wisdom of such teaching which is in debate, but the question of how it may be best accomplished. It is the opinion of one party that the oral teaching of political ethics is enough; it is the conviction of others that the duties of the citizen and some insight into oar system of government should be presented in tho form of a manual, which can be rftudied in the grammar and high-schools. All are agreed that the fundamental principles which rule in American society should be inculcated. It is not easy to say, except in a general way, exactly what the schodls shall teach. It is instruction akin, in the methods to be used in imparting it, to religious instruction. In the public school, unless more time is allowed for the whole course of studies than now seems possible, the training for citizenship must Deleft very largely to the discretion of the teachers, to oral lessons, to the inculcation of principles, to the insistence upon social duties, to those instructions which lie in a held common alike to morals and to politics. Enough direction should be given to the thought of boys and girls to enable them to see where the lines run in political and social matters.. One of the best ways of training young persons is to throw out hints or suggestions, and let them work gradually in their minds, calling up these points later on, and so furnishing a certain outline of leading principles, which shall be the guides of conduct when they arrive at riper years and enter upon their duties as citizens. It is believed that no better work in a country like our own can be accomplished through the public school than this unpretentious and suggestive way of teaching fprinciples. Working by text-book in the lower-grade schools seems to be too formal, and implies the taking of too much time; but the suggestive method with young minds is wonderfully helpful in stimulating them to grasp ideas, and to take in the atmosphere of our political and social life. A great gain in thCtraining for citizenship might be accomplished if our teachers would give the boys and girls in the grammar schools and in those of higher grade a half hour's exercise once or twice a week in reading the daily newspaper. Here is citizenship in action; here are the questions of the day in progress towards solution; here it is important for the younger readers to learn to estimate the relative value of news. It makes a diHerence with the whole future of boys and girls if they learn at an early age to read the daily paper with discrimination aud intelligence, if they get the drift and significance of political and social questions, and if they learn to see how the news of the day bears upon fundamental principles. It is this intelligent and quick apprehension of the bearing of public events upon life which should be introduced as a vital part of even the humblest education, and with the larger sphere which woman is coming to hold in American society it is as important a part or the training for one sex as it is for the other. No better illustration is furnished than that presented by the daily paper to a young person of the way in which American life goes forward. What lessons are contained at the present moment in the political speeches which are made every night and reported every morning throughout the principal towns of the State! A boy who can take up these addresses and get at the points in them has begun his life as a citizen, and it is this habit of picking things up that are vital and putting them where they belong that has made the men who are most useful to tiro country. The best thing that tbe public schools can do is to train the boys and girls to see the significance of this and that part of the morning newspaper. This furnishes constant and living illustrations of political ethics and. American principles, and of the whole social movement. Daniel Webster once said that the man who read his newspaper before breakfast had the lead as a citizen, and it is this lead which we desire to have given to our children. If our institutions are to be safely guarded and protected, we must help our children to see the roots of things while they are in the public schools. The method can be left very largely to the wisdom and ingenuity of the public school teachers. It must follow local needs, and be governed somewhat by circumstances; but it should in no case be omitted from public instruction. President Gates admirably illustrated the dependence of the Nation upon the citizen when he stated that his mother had taught him the elements of political economy, as given in Dr. Wayland's book on that subject, when he was thirteen years old, and it was easy to see why he had already obtained, at a comparatively early age, his position as one of the foremost educators in the country. He had the stimulus in his home which we are now giving to Till our children through tbe public schools, and where home and school both work to give instruction in tbe elements of citizenship, we may expect the highest results in the protection and development of American institutions. UNDER H1TNOTIC SWAY. Medical Men Who Say the After Effect Threatens Serious Danger to Nerves. Philadelphia Itecorrt. The practice of hypnotism and its use as a therapeutic measure have attracted no little attention among physicians in this city of late. The leading physicians have employed the art to a greater or less extent in their practice, but it is yet such an unknown quantity that very few of them care to take the risk consequent upon its use. A bright young physician of this city, whose ancestors during the past century have been shining lights in the profession of medicine, lately returned from a trip to Paris, where he went expressly to learn all he could about hypnotism. He returned to the city last week, firmly convinced that it is a dangerous thing to tamper with, and that its use should be restricted by law. In nine cases out of ten that came under his notico the after-effects on the nervons system were so bad that they easily outweighed any possible good that might be expected from its use. During the past two years the specialists have all been studying the art with a view to applying it to their particular practice. IJnt, with very few exceptions, all have dropped it and Jiave returned to tbe old systems of alleviating pain and curing disease. One surgeon said yesterday that he had given hypnotism up entirely, because he found it worked havoc with tbe nervous systems of his patients. "I have never used it," said he, "except in minor surgical operations, such as lancing a boil or a felon, or cutting out an in-grown .toe-nail. Of course the operation was painless, but the shock to the nervous system was so great that in many instances it took several weoks to recover; therefore, I will use it no more. It should be restricted by law, as it is really a dangerous thing in the hands of an unscupulous person." All men of medicine, however, do not agree as regards the danger surrounding the use of hypnotism. Dr. Charles K. Mills, who has studied the occult science with a view to using it in nervous diseases, does not consider it dangerous, but he thinks its use should be restricted by law. "In France." said ho, men of science are studying hypnotism both from a scientific

Pennsylvania st. point of vie tv and as an art for tbe treatment of sickness. It is now, and for years past has been, much employed in French hospitals. Ia Germany it has been regarded as a scientific curiosity. This is also largely true of England at present, but tbere was a time when it received the deepest attention from scientific men, wno regarded it from a therapeutic stand-point. Particularly is this true of the year 1843, when James. Braid began an investigation, and later apFlied it for medical and surgical purposes, n this country it has never taken a linn foothold as a healing measure. There are records to show that the Philadelphia Hospital, early in tho present century, took a deep interest in hypnotism, or magnetism, as it was then called. The sterling old practitioners of those days used it as a healing measure, too. Dr. John K. Mitchell, the elder, years and years ago emploved hypnotism with great success, and the Philadelphia Hospital, by a vote of its board of directors nearly a century a (to, decided, to use the Perkins tractor, a metal instrument which was stroked over the afUicted part, and which was said to alleviate pain and cure disease. This was nothing more than a species of hypnotism. Therefore, you will see that hypnotism has been in uso in this city for a great many years. Qneer People Who Visit City Hotels. Chicago Times.
