FBOTEST FROM DEMOCRATS

Martin Comity's Faithful Don't Like Mr. Bretz's PostofSce Appointees. Waili from Shcals and Looeoote? Mis Carrie Peddle, the Designer of the "habelhT Coin The Lasker-Showalter Chess Match. . ANOTHER HOWL GOES UP. Two Martin County I'ostmastershlp Appoint menu Lit Wrck the Ciio.se of It. Special to tbe Indianapolis JoamaL Shoals, Ind., April 2. The announcement In Friday's Journal of the appointment of A. C. Hacker as postmaster at this point, and A. T. Ackeman at.Loogooto, the two principal postoflices of Martin county, though not wholly unexpected, has created a great hubbub in the camp of the local Democracy. Many would not believe that such was the case until authenticated from other aouroes. The appointments are condemned m unmeasured terms by the better element of the party, aud Congressman Bretz is being roundly denounced by tbe leaders. At Shoals Fabius Gwln, a popular and sterling young Democrat, who has ever been an active and ardent champion of the party, and who has been giving the best of satisfaction as an oflicial, is displaced to make room for the above appointee, who for the past few yoars has been tbe editor of the News, the Democratic oflicial county orgau, though his previous political career had been somewhat checkered, he at one time being associate editor of tbe Republican county organ, during which period Its editorials were most virulent and abusive of Democracy and its candidates. This fact is yet fresh in the minds of the workers of the party who bad to5 bear the brunt of these viciuusonslaughts. At Loogootee the successful applicant is even more obnoxious, ho bmg an cx-saloon keeper, who for many years, until the past few weeks, has been running a dram shop continuously. He is both unpopular and, it is believed also, incompetent, and, besides, it is generally believed be was only awaitiugthe postotlice appointment to avoid attain opening a saloon. The respeotable wiug of Democracy in that vicinity is thoroughly disgusted, whioh feeling, however, is general throughout the county. Viewed from a purely partisan standpoint, the appointments are all that could be dosired by Bepuulicans. It is generally conceded that the result will greatly weaken tho already badly demoralized Democratic county organization, and leaders of the party are open in expressing a belief that tbe Republicans will sweep tho county at the next general election. GIFTED INDIANA ARTIST. Miss Carrie Peddle, Who Das Been Selected to Make the Destcn for the "Isabella" Coin. . special to the Indianapolis Journal. Tkkkk Hatjtf, Ind., April 2. Miss Carrie Peddle, who has received the commission from the board of lady managers of the world's fair for the design for the Isabella" coin, of the denomination of 25 cents, provided for in the appropriation bill passed at the recent session of Congress, writes to her father, Mr. Charles Peddle, general purchasing agent of the Vandalia Railroad Company, that she expects to complete the work in three weeks. Mrs. Potter Palmer's suggestion was for a portrait of Isabella on the obverse side in the center, and the following inscription around tbe edge: "1402 commemorative coin 1892." For tho reverse side the words: "Issued by tbe board of lady managers of the world's Columbian exposition, by act of Congress." The lady managers are desirous of putting on the market a handsomer coin than the souvenir half dollar. Competent critics have pronounced tbe latter to be more or less of a botch from an artistic standpoint. Mrs. Palmer wrote to St. Gaudens. asking him to recommend a woman artist to make tho design and ho recommended Miss Peddle. Mrs. Palmer then prevailed upon Secretary Carlisle to permit tbe design to be made outside tbe mint and this was conceded a lew days ago. Miss Peddle graduated from the high school here in 1SS7 at the ago of seventeen years. In childhood she evinced a remarkable aptitude for drawing, no doubt inherited from her father. 55 he received instructions from Professor Ames, of the Rose Polytechnis Institute, and a few years ago went to the Academy of Design at Philadelphia, where she spent a year. Then she became a member of the Art Students' Leairut, of Mew York, where she came under the teaching of St. Gaudens. Last October she was given a commission by Louis 'lift any, the dealer in statuary, for a design for a model of the Virgin Mary, such as could be used in churches. This she has just completed, and it has been adjudged worthy of special exhibition at tbe world's fair. She has now a commission from Titian? for a design for the Vision of the Sacred Heart.

The first "pig" they came to was that presided over by Lin Bash. He attempted to prevent the entrance of the women, but they were not to be stopped by triiies. Bu&h was tossed 4 to. one side, and for the tirst time women stood within tho sacred precincts of a North Dakota prohibition dive. An inventory of stock was commenced, and several bottles of "hop tea" and "porter" were seized. While in the midst of their explorations landlord Bush returned with assistance, and soon the air was lull of animated feminiuity.

Insane IIopital Discipline. To the Etlltor of the IntllanaDolIs Journal: Please correct the statement in regard to discipline at the Central Hospital for Insane. The employes are attending to their duties faithfully; there is no insubordination here, and the statement in regard to tbe carriage and driver is wholly ialee. All orders have been promptly executed. The difference of opinion among employes in the engine department is of longstanding, aud the outbreak was followed by immediate suspension. The quarrel was not in the euperintendent's otlice. or tho building in which it is located. The oti'.cors and employes without an exception have treated me with tbe utmost respect. The institntiou is conducted on the same principles that governed it durins the past three and three-quarters years by the late Dr. Wright. P. J. Waiters. Ohio Republicans Are Right. To tlie-'Ertitor r the Intianaio!ls Journal: It is eminently lit and proper that Republicans of the great State of Ohio, having John Sherman m tbe United States Senate and Major McKinley in the gubernatorial chair, should emphatically declare their adherence to the principle of protecting American industries; and it is eminently tit and proper that the State of Ohio should have two such able statesmen as Mr. Sherman and the gallant Major. There be times which try men's souls, the souls of political leaders and the souls of public spirited and patriotic citizens among the rank uud lile of tbe two ureat parties. The political reverse which the Republican party sustained at the late presidential election was one of those which try the souls of patriotic citizens, but the Republicans throughout the country stanchly

and grandly adhere, like those of Ohio, to the imperishable principle of building up

and sustaining American home industries. Let tho Democrats eniov control ot the gov ernment for a time, and let us not nettlo them by freauent allusions to their platform ntterancea with regard to tbe tarilf. A little wholesome fear, some very good teachers tell us. often does a vast amount of sood. Free trade measures wonla inllict a dreadful blow upon the prosperity of tho country, and some far-seeing men among the Democratic leaders are aware of that fact. It is to be hoped, for tbe sake ,ot continued prosperity. that moderate counsels will prevail among leading Democratic politicians. Tbe ma jority ol sensible and thoughtful persons know, of course, that the existenoe of prosperity is not largely due to Democratio statesmanship. In the present juncture of nrlairs, if we were to make Democratio leaders nad. they might behave intemperatelv in their dealing with tarill" matters. Republican citizens of Indianapolis, the home of our country's esteemed ex-President, are proud of their friends in Ohio; proud of their adherence to the principle of protection, tbeir stanebness . and their "backbone." The public mind will come all right on the tarill by and by. and the imperishable principle of protection shall prevail, r. J. iu WE HAVE OUTSTRIPPED EUROPE. The United States Has Become the Greatest Manufacturing Country. Mr. R. II. Edmonds, a journalist of Baltimore, one of the most eminent authorities on the conditions of recent progress in tho United States, contribute to the Engineering Magazine an interesting and valuable paper entitled. A Decade of Marvelous Progress." iroin which a few conclusions are extracted: The United States is now the leading manufacturing country in the world. . We have far outstripped ail other nations in the magnitude of our industrial operations. It is aimost incomprehensible that in ten years tho increase in capital in vested in manufactures should exceed the total invested only twenty years ago. The value of our manufactured products increased about CO per cent.; add CO per cent, to the output of IS'jO and we would have $13,700,000. COD in 1900 but that is too much to expect. The eame rate of growth in mining interests in this decade as in the last would make our mineral output in l'.KX) nearly $1,200,000,003, while a smaller percentage of gain, only equaling in volume the total increase in 18.K) over 1880, would bring tho lignres to over S'i50,000,0CK). If our coalminers add to the output of 1S00 as many tons as they added to that of 1SS0. ignoring in this tbe percentage of growth, 21?,0(0.000 tons will be the production of 1000. No other country in the world ever advanced in population and wealth as the United States is doing. The progress of the past show's no signs of halting. In fact, the development of our foreign add domestic trade and commerce and of our industrial interests is steadily broadening out. Contrast our position and condition with Europe, with resources surpassing those of all Europe, with wealth creating possibilities in soil, minerals, timber, and climate uneqnaled by Europe, and praotioally without limit to their profitable utilization, with a homeogenous population of 65.003,000 people unvexed by tho arbitrary regulations of half a dozen different governments and free from the drain of standiug armies, the United States justly commands the wonder and admiration of the world. Great Britain is no longer the manufacturing center of the world, for we have taken the foremost position in that line. Its vast iron and steel business isyearly increasing in cost of production, while onrs Is decreasing. It cannot meet the world's growing demand for iron and steel, because it oannot increase its production to any great extent. It prodnoes less pig iron now than it did ten years ago. Much of its ore it imports from distant countries. Its cotton in all imported. It spends abont $750,000,000 a year for foreign foodstuffs. On the continent every nation is burdened with debt, and none of them can ever hope to pay oil its obligations. Measured by their natural resources and advantages for continued growth against their debts and the many disadvantages under which they labor they are practically bankrupt. In all of them the cost of prodnction and livincr must steadily increase. In the United States we have scarcely laid the foundation for our future greatness. In natural resources we are richer than all of Europe. We are paying oil our debts faster than they are due. We bavo barely scratched the ground in the development of onr mineral wealth, and our agricultural growth can aoarcely be limited. ORIGIN OF THE BIBLE. Some Original Views on the Matter Heard In New Hampshire, Boston 3 ournaL The astonishing ignorance of the. Bible which some people betray has often boen remarked, but the most amusing case which has ever come to the Journal man's notice happened three days aco. It is an abso lutely true story, without embellishment of any kind. In a little country store uoinNew Hamp shtro was a group of people, consisting of the storekeeper, tbe stage driver, two or three of the kind of gentlemen who do nothing but whittle all day. and the writer. The conversation turned on religion, and then somebody asked where the Bible came from and who wrote it. The old stage driver was the only one who eeemcd able to answer this question, and 1 give his remarks lust as he made them: "Well naow. alius bed an idea that Jesus Christ writ ther Bible on them tables o' atone, er suthin' er t ther. But I hed a fellar aboard ther stage.tother night; he seemed tew be purty well eddioated, too. an' he bed a dirlerent notion frum me. He says, saya he, Jesus Christ didn't hev nothin' ter do with ther Bible.no mor'n yew did. There wuz a time, clean back, when every fellar hed his own Bible, an' ther nios' enrus part on't was thet overy ono on em writ his Bible himself. "There wuz Matthew, an' Mark, an' Luke. an1 John, an' Moses, an' Jonah, an' Solo mon, an' David, an' tber don't nobody know haow many more. They allhad tbeir own Bibles, and eyery fellar thought his wuz ther best one in ther hull lot. "Wal. after some years tber people begin ter clamor for ther true Bible, an' so all these fellars mot tergether ter decide which wuz ther true Bible. Naow, of course, every one on 'em said his wuz the best, an' then they bad some words which waound np in a war. They tit purty iierce fur a time, an' there wuz considerable fbany of 'em got killed oil', so ther rest callated tbeh'd better call a halt an' caount up the waounded. Then they hed ernuther consultation,' an' after er good deal er jawin' on all sides they come ter ther con clusion thet they'd better put all their books tergether into one. An tbe more I think on't the more I believe it's the way the Bible wuz made." YVhnt the Gestures Mean. Philadelphia Ueoord. In southern Italy gesture largely takes the place of speech. A writer for tho Christian Lnion goes so far as to say that whtle not a word is spoken the rest will know what is going on, if tbe gesturer is only careful to express himself in the rec ognized movements. Tbe writer says that the south Italy method of beckoning is used as a means of salutation, lhere, when desiring a person to approach, one beckons with the linger tips held downward. The verb go ' is expressed by holding tbo open hand, palm perpendicularly, pointing in the intended direction, and shak ing tbo hand up and down irom the wrist "To-day" is indicated by closing all the linscers of the right hand except the index and pointing downward. making a slight, rapid movement of the band up and down. lo-ruorrow" is ex pressed by the same gesture, except that the np and down motion is more pro nounced and done from tbe elbow instead of from the wrist, as in the former case. There is one sign, peculiar almost to tbe verse of absurdity, that the tourist who goes shopping will nevertheless do well to remember and use. If he tbinke he is be ing overcharged and it will be strange if he does not think so very of ten he caunot do better than to put the two first lingers of his right hand between his neck and his shirt collar, and then ask, with an easy laugh, what the prices really are. The Wicked Spoilsmen. New York Independent. 1 One of Mr. Cleveland's strongest sopporters explains that whenever he makes bad appointments it is duo to the fact that he listens too much to tho spoilsmen of his own party. This is a very convenient method of relieving him of responsibility. If spoilsmen lead hjm astray why does hp listen to them?

UULLU SlUtfl TUVA! JAttOXil How an Old Man Elided Two Corps in a Superstitious Nebraska Community. A Girl Wfco Was Said to Bewitched anl a Eoy Who Was cnfferini: from a Serious Ailment Cured in a Strange Way. OxfAii.. Neb April 2. Jensen, Neb., is a prosperous village of 00 or 300 souls located on the prairie in the southern part of the State, Most of the lebabitants are Ger mans and Russians. Among them lives John Pruder, a mild-mannered old German. I who earns a scanty subsistence for himself and family by laboring on tho sheep ranch of Peter Jansen. The only one ot the family who understands English is little Frieda, a girl of nine. Jnst before the holidays Frieda was taken ill and confined to her bed, and, until ten days ago, she was the victim of a most mysterious ailment. She was subject to spasms, in whieh her fingers were cramped until tbe nails were buried in ber palma and her toes were turned under ber feet. She lost sight, hearing and speech, and her little figure was racked with a variety of involuntary contortions. Sho was helpless for hours and days, and for one period of eight weeks life was sustained by pouring milk down her throat. At other times she imagined she saw visions. Sometimes it was an angel, then a rabbit, and again a woman in white. A physician ventured the opinion that the child's liver was ailected. Another said it was typhoid fever, and another admitted he did not understand the case. The circumstances of her sickness are vouched for by American neighbors of. respectability. who can have no motive to misrepresent. One of the superstitious old women suggested that Frieda had been bewitched. In support of her theory, she nrged that tbe inside of the bed upon which the child rested be examined. Acting upon this suggestion, tLt Pruders opened tbe tick and found the leathers matted in peculiar shapes. The superstitious neighbors suggested that these feather objeets be burned. saying tbat the witch would be the fa rat person to visit the house after the burning. The lirst caller happened to bo a Mrs. Miller. Her husband had one time made a vain attempt to sell Pruder a piece of property, and they readily accepted the conclusion that Mrs. Miller was bewitching the child in revenge. rtews of tbe atlair reached a farmer named William Koltensmyer, formerly of Missouri. He advised the Pruders to send for John Erinberir, of Warrensburg, Ma, and told wonderful tales of the cures wrought by him. Mr. Erinberg arrived at Jansen last Saturday morning and went to the Pruder home. The stranger looked at the child, said be could cure her, and asked for a room in which he could be alone. An adjoining room was given up to him, but what be did in there is nnkown. When he came out he was perspiring as though he had undergone some great physical exertion. Three times that day did he give tbe child this "treatment," as he .called his private operation. He neither touched the child nor gave her medicine, and it is supposed tbat he devoted himself to prayer while in seclusion. During tbe day there wero mutter ingsof ill-will among the simple-minded foreigners, and at night a company of twenty-four, organized with a leader. called at the Pruder home and notified Erinberg that be must leave the town the next morning or they would proseoute him. The stranger from Missouri was a peaoefnl. white bearded man ot seventy, and was evidently frightened by these threats, bat when Mr. Bruer and other intelligent citi zens, satisued that ne was at least doing no harm, promised to protect him. he agreed to stay. Mr. Fnnbertr gave little Frieda three "treatments," Sunday morning and in the afternoon she was about playing with the other children of her age. Snnday night she was at the house of Mr. Bruer until 11 o'closk, romping merrily with his children, though she had not entirely re covered her speech. The mob of Saturday night held a meet ing Sunday and determined to tar and feather Erinberg that night. Their plotting was overheard by a boy. who notified Pruder's friends. These gathered in force to protect the old man, and his enemies were frightened from their purpose. Among the business men of Jansen is Mr. J. W. Marshall, a grain buyer. He has a ten-year-old son. 1-loyd, who enuered .for eight years from two running sores, one on eaob side of his neck. He had been treated by Omahaandotherpbysicians at an outlay of many hundred dollars, bnt without much relief. The euro of Frieda Pruder naturally became the talk of the town, and Floyd Marshall asked his father to take him to Mr. Erinberg for treatment. Mr. Erinberg looked nt ,the lad intently for a moment, chatted with him a fow minutes, told him to be a good boy. and said he would be cured. In this case the old man did not retire to another room. This meeting oconrred about 10 o'clock in the morniog. When Floyd came to his mother in the afternoon to have his neck dressed she was surprised to find that the sores had stopped running and the wound seemed to be closed. A lump as large as a goose egg that had been gathering on tbe left side of the neck for three weeks previous had also disappeared. Hardly able to believe her eyes, and not wishing to raise false hopes, Mrs. Marshall said nothing to her hnsband about the wonderful ohange until tbe next day, when tbe sores had entirely closed and the discharges ceased. It is beyond dispute that both children were suffering from serious ailments before Erinberg visited Jansen. It is equally true tbat since his visit their diseases have left them, and they are apparently in good health. Injury Beyond Rrpair. Grand Rapids Democrat.
