Will Ignore ISoth Factions. New Yokk, March 1. Referring to the position President-elect Cleveland will tako regarding tie political factions In this State the Herald says: "When Mr. Cleveland announces the names of successful applicants for office, it will bo plain that he is endeavoring to hold aloof from faction lights in New York. Ills determination now Is to recognize neither faction In his first appointments, but to parcel out gifts to whom he considers competent men. Irrespective of their affiliation with either machine men or antlenapi era. Both Cleveland and his advisors really expect that this plan will lead to complications. If Cleveland selects a machine man for dace and the anti-snappers "kick" he Intends to gnoro them. If. on the other hand, he names any of the prominent anti-snappers for office and the appointment raises a breeze in the ranks of the Ilili-Murphy combination they will receive a very clear intimation from headquarters that Mr. Cleveland cares for none of their advice."

Mr. Culver formerly lived at Spencer, where your ocrrespondent succeeded in gaining a brief biography of him recently. ' There is littlo chanco for a mistake in the estimate of his aze given here. From the best data at hand, Mr. Culver located in Owen county in 1S50, and about the year li-54 took np bis residence in Spencer, liy the old residents of the tow.n he is described as a little, old, dried-up man, with hair and beard as white as snow. For several years he was a prominent character in Owen county, being the keeper of the little'stone jail during the time of Sherilt Captain Jonu H. Johnson. John M. Coleman and others long since dead. He locates his birthplace in Maryland, and informed the people with whom he has been familiar he was born March 4. 175'J. This is further attested by the faot that his youngest son, Samuel W. Culver, by his lirst wife, and who lor years lived on a farm south of Speuoer, recenty died at the age of sixty-nine years. Mrs. John Rice, another of his children, but not the oldest, is still livinz near Spencer, having attained the age of seventy-six years, she being at this time a great-grandmother. From all the circumstances and the living evidences it is almost certain that should Mr. Culver live until Saturday he will be 104 years old. THEY CAN'T SLIP OUT.

The act of 1887. anthorizing its construction and limiting its cost to $200,000. was a nonpartisan act, voted for by. l'-o members out of 141 who were present. In creating the officials who were to build it, provision was made that, where a vacancy occurred, it should be filled from the same party to which the last occupant belonged. The death of General Bennett caused a vacancy, when, -lo, and behold, the valuable time of this session is taken up to consider and enact an amendment authorizing the appointment of a Democrat to that vacancy. When we consider the character of the act of 1867,1 am justified in saying that the history of legislation furnishes nothing that is comparable with it in littleness. Verily, no compact is sacred enough to be kept when a chance is presented to find an othce for a partisan. The above action is in perfect harmony with tbe general treatment this work has received at tbe bands of tbe do facto Legislature of 1S'J3. The one thing that reconciles the people to tbe existingstatus is the fact tbat the Supreme Court has decided, and th decision will s'tand, that it is not a Legislature of the people, tbat is, a Legislature "de jure, ' but is simply a Legislature in fact. Oh, no. it could not be one "of right," and contain meu tbat would seek to detract from tbe' fame of the 26.615 heroes who died in the great war of ISGl-lbC5, by permitting the monument to be diverted from its original purpose. It exists by virtue ot the fact that tbe apportionment under which it was elected tramples. under foot every principle tbat is vital to national life, in tbe defense of which all tbo 4t5,t.l5 Iw-roesdied to whose memory tbe monument wa& to be built under the provisions of the act of 18VT. Is it any wonder, then, that the beneficiaries of such an outrage upon tbe rieht of representation should refuse to listen to fact, and law. aDd patriotism! I think not. The 120.r,15 Indiana heroes who died iu the war of 18G1-5 are the men who lifted op tbe Htate out of the mud and matin it one of tbe fairest and brightest in tho Union. It has been an honor to be an Indianian since these heroes brought to us this priceless heritage. It is left for a Legislature that is i.ot of the people but is of an infamous gerrymander, to try to detract from the well-earned fame of those dead heroes, who cannot be present to plead their holy cause, by legalizing the diversion of two of the four faces of their monument, and make it stand for other soldiers who fought in a war waved for the conquest of territory, and the outgrowth of which whs to greatly strengthen the accursed institution of tinman slavery, which institution is conceded to have cansed the war of the rebellion, and hence was responsible for the deaths of the 2o',615 heroes in whose honor, and theirs alone, all four

The act of 1S87 limited tbe cost of the monument to SSUO.COO. The commissioners had placed in their bands CJl.tOJ. How have they expended itf liy & "catch-as-catch-best-can,; mode of procedure they propose to make it cost about $400,000. This action of the commissioners cannot be justified for any reason, it is extravagant, reckless und an unnecessary expenditure of tbe people's money, and is repudiated by the liviug comrade? of the men in i whose honor the work was erected, aud by every honest, patriotio taxpayer in the State. There will be an eternal harmony of action, eo to ' speak, for tho 'de facto" to justify this wasteful expenditure of the people's money. The men in whose honor the act of 1887 authorized the monument to be built were not partisans: they were patriot heroes. The aot was not partisan. Tbe motives that prompted it were not f artisau. To undertake to impair in the east this solemn compact is to ulace our State in a false liffht before the world. It is partisanship gone mad. It could only be done by those who boast in denying to their neighbors the right of representation which they enjoy. J. B. Ciikadlk. Fbankfout, Ind., Feb. 27. FiSiiBACK'S DIfcQOiSlTiUX. Characters of Cackle and John Stuart Mill the Subject of His Discourse. V. P. Fishback gave another of his fortnightly lectures at tbe Plymouth Church last night. Ilia subject was the dual one on the lives of the two great English philosophers Thomas Henry Buckle aud John Stuart Mill. The former was made famous, by the publishing of a book on politioal economy, and was a statesman as well as a thinker and writer. Mr. Fishbaok end that Buckle went on the principle tbat all great rnlers were not pious men, and that very often pious men were incapable of becoming great rulers, for the reason that they followed too closely whatever conscientious scruples they might have regarding men and conditions. Not that any person wanted vicions men in oQice. Fools do not always work harm, but vicious men oiten do. For example the speaker referred to the Legislature at present in session in the city. He said tbat as long as its mem- ' bers could be kept talking as they have been doing during the session there could bo no very great harm result, for when a man is talking he is not framing bad laws. He ttaid that Indiana was fortunate it did not meet but onco every two years. He thought that the time had come when tbe American people do the right thing by instinct, and that it was wholly unnecessary, or almost so, to make laws hand over list for every little thing tbat may come up. He said a law that bad the concurrence otthe people was far better than a better law tbat bad their opposition. For example he tootc the laws that have tried to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors, and said that they had all proved to be farces, and that it was flying in the face of the civilized world to pass them, notwithstanding tbat he himself was a strong temperance advocate. These principles.ghe said, were Buckle's. John Stuart Mill, he said, was one of the most remarkable men of tbe world. He told the story of his boyhood, how. under the stern tutelage of his father, James Mill, who was also a man of wonderful literary talent and wonderful mind, he became a teacher of Greek to his younger sisters at the age oi' eight years, and how at twelve years he read and . corrected the proofsheets of the history of India that his father had been ten years writing. He spoke of his great freedom of thought, and said tbat it would be far better if the Americans of the present day had a little of it. He illustrated by referring to tbe appointment of , Mr. Gresham to the Cabinet of Mr. Cleveland. He said the Republicans were howling because Gresham waa a turncoat, and the Democrats because a once-was Kepublicau cot an ollico that some Demoorat wanted. , GOING TO WASHINGTON. Cleveland CInb Will Leave This Afternoon Serenades to Be Given State Officers. At 1 o'clock to-day the Cleveland CInb leaves on its special train for Washington to take part in the inaugural ceremonies to-morrow. Before its departure tbe club will serenade the State officers. The departure of a crowd of Democrats oVer the Pennsylvania lines yesterday caused a report that the Cleveland Clut had gone, which, however, was a mistake. President Arinintrout desires all who intend going to be on hand promptly to-day. The train will atop a short timeinCin cinnati this afternoon. AGUEE AS 10 TERMS. Eoth Scheller and Mclnerny Ilare Placed Forfeit, and Will Wrest!. Bert Scheller says, in reply to the exceptions taken to his challenge issued to Thomas Mclnerny, to wrestle, a catch-as-catch-can match, under the date of yesterday: "I am g(ad to see that Molnorny has covered my forfeit and it now looks as though 1 would be able to set a match with him. Some time n'o he wanted to wretle me, and at that time was more than willing to accede to anything 1 might have to propose. His hanging back would indicate tbat there is a string to'his forfeit, but I will see tbat he does not crawl out of any little holes this time. He says that he docs not want a cent nnless be wins the match, and will have no division of tbe gate receipts. I will concede that to him. and will also let him name the time and place ot the match, and grant that tbe referee be choseu from the audience on the night ot the match. The proposition is this: 1 will wrestlo him a match, catch-ns.ratch-can, best two falls in three, for Sl'JO a side and tho gate receipts, the winner to take all tho money. I hope that this will be iii.al.' Scheller has now agreed to all of McIneruy's propositions and the forfeit of each man is up. There remains but tosian articles, and for Mclnerny to name the time and place. The contest will take place at the Kmpir Theater in ab ut two weeks, should nothing happen to prevent.
