THE DAILY NEWS. WBPHE8PAT. JPMK 18. 1171.3 The Indianapolis News has a bona fide circulation more than one-half larger than that of any other dally paper In Indiana. The attitude of the republicans on tbe bill to prevent political aaaeaaments on - government employes is as disgraceful as it is short-sighted. As Congressman Me* Lane said yesterday, such a law passed ■ow would hold the democrats when they came into power, or if ignored by them would furnish a powerful plea for putting them oat. In a moral way, no more pitiable confession has been made by the party which professes to be cleaner than its opponent. Bayard is to be upheld by the democratic caucus. He will not resign and there will be no silver bill passed, Warner's measure being quietly smothered by Bayard’s committee; and yet the Ohio democrats would like to pose before the people as the silver and soft money champions. No earnest inflationists will be caught with such hypocrisy, we think. Plainly, the only hope the soft money folks in Ohio have is to vote the soft money ticket, and let the democratic party fall between the two stools, as it ought to. Wb must remind our unce tain and excitable' cotemporary of Market street, that the constitutional amendments are not understood to be statutes, and that when it attempts to torture the declaration about wiping out war legislation from the statute books into an avowal of taking the amendments from the constitution, it shows a poverty of expedients that will hardly do to successfully push a political campaign. And when it declares the fifteenth amendment can not be enforced without the army, it is swallowing its own words in a way that would choke it if its throat were no larger than its brain pan. ^ A reader of The News>t Sullivan, Indiana, noticing that his favorite paper has had unpleasant but not specific things to say against General Grant, wants to know if we will not formulate a bill of charges or articles of impeachment against him. If our correspondent will recall what The News has had to say on this subject he will find it has been entirely directed at the rascally project of a third term, which has been a maggot in the brain of some whisky thieves and politicians eut of a job, and Gen. Grant has come in for no censure except so far as this scheme has coupled his name with the corruption that existed during the time he was president. As this third tormism is “a pestilent fantasy,” the talk about it is a gross folly, as the Cincincinnati Commercial has well said, and when pressed to seriousness, impertinent and revolting. However, if our correspondent is really seeking for information, we would suggest to him to hunt the record for the civil service failure which started out so well under George William Curtis, the Secor and Chorpenning frauds, the credit mobilier, the San Domingo scheme, the whisky ring robberies, the Babcockism which prevailed in this and other particulars, Belknapism, and the “improvements” under the Washington city ring. The News extends the heartiest enconragement to the “Indianapolis Mercantile Association.” It can do great things for the city, if it is pushed with the same (>ersistence and guided by tbe same judgment Its individual members give to their individual enterprises. Without doubt, Inb dianapolis has lacked what is termed * “public spirit.” This in any community is largely, if not directly, the result of accumulated wealth, and thia city has been too busy building itself up, growing from the gristle to the bone, to be held strictly accountable for dereliction. But with the •lowly rising tide ef business prosperity, it will be blind to its own interests if it dose not make itself known, and we were glad to see in the meeting last night an indicatiou ef clear vision. There are countless ways in which this good work can be carried on, and it is not to be done by a spurt, but by a long pull and a strong pull md B pull all together. For immediate work, as good a thing as any is the proposed Fourth of July celebration. There is no reason why the day oould not be made so attractive as to bring thousands of strangers here. We have fine military companies which would aid, and a prise drill for all the companies in the state might be instituted. The different trades and industries might concoct an old fashioned monster procession, or getup
a new fashioned cme; in a numberof ways the day could be made attractive. Another thing, perhaps out of the power of tbe mercsntile association to remedy,' is the lack of a large public hall. With increased hotel room, which we are soon to have by the completion of two handsome structures, the dty could easily handle a crowd such aa would assemble at a national political convention if it had a suitable hall for such a meeting. Were there such a one, not a theater, but simply four bare walla and a roof properly fitted, in which from three to five thousand people could find piece, there is no reason why one of the great conventions which are to meet next summer should not assemble here. Let us drop the lazy slang reply, “Go hire a hall,” and go build one. A Rising Barometer. A <x mprehenaive review of the traffic prospects of the country aa given by the Railroad Gaaette, leads to the conclusion that the business barometer, which may be said to have fallen at difierent rates, bat continuously since 1873, has been for a long time stationary, and now begins to rise again , slowly to be sure, from some points ofjriew imperceptibly, but none tbe Jess surely. The grain movement this crop-year thus far is somewhat larger than that of the last crop-year, although the businesa of the second half of the year is yet to be decided by the coming harvests, concerning which nothing is now surely known except that the area under cultivation is larger than last year. The movement of hog products is larger than last year, although that was larger that the year before. Last year’s cotton crop, now mostly marketed, is the largest ever known. The petroleum market is larger than that of. any year, and the export larger than any except the year 1877. There is a large increase in anthracite coal, while the bituminous production has not fallen off. Lumber shipments from Chicago, largely determined by tbe amount of immigration and the prosperity of fanners, is 30 per cent, greater than in 1878, and abont one-half greater than in either of the two preceding years. In nearly every one of the great staple productions of the country there is a larger business reported than last year, and in some the largest known for years. Priceq are extremely low, and the pur. chasing power of the producers is not increased in the same proportion with the -production. It has been noticed, however, since the panic, nearly six years ago, that there might be activity in agricultural produots without any corresponding revival in general business. But now, there is a general revival in nearly all manufacturing industries, slow and feeble in some, with low wages and small profits, but healthful everywhere. There are more orders and consequently work for more men. Prices have ceased to go down. The barometer no longer falls. This encourages capital. It will not invest on a falling market. To quote the Railroad Gazette: You might urge that the house you had been offering for $10,000 cost $15,000 once, and and still commands $900 rent, which would be a good return on the investment; but your customer would reply that the rent had been going down a hundred dollars a year for three or four years past, and if that decline should continue much longer, the rent would be a very poor return on the $10,000. So it might be demonstrated satisfactorily that a manufactory could be established to produce some staple article of consumption, m which tke margin between present coat and price would leave a handsome profit on the investment. Yet with the knowledge that the manufactured product had been falling in price for four or five years, men did not dare to make tbe investment, last before they should get fairly at work the price should fall below the cost of prodnetion. Bat when once the downward tendency ot prices has been arrested, then capital manifests somethine of its- natural disposition to seek for remunerative investments. And this is observable now very distinctly. The Gazette sees this in the increased activity in railroad construction. Stocks for such enterprises can not be sold in driblets, as Jay Cooke’s Pacific stock was, and projectors are compelled to resort to large capitalists. Bo, although there are many new roads building, little of the stock is offered publicly. Many of the new roads are built by old companies; many others however are built by securing a large part of the necessary means in the districts where they are constructed. The present cheapness of construction tempts the investment in light roads, which can be pat down for 47,000 to $8,000 per mile where they used to cost $20,000, as substitutes for highways and aa means for increasing local traffic. Although, says the Gazette:

Because Nym Crinkle, the New York dramatic critic, says “Ada Cavendish’s ’Rosalind’ lacks tke leguminous idylllclam of - Mrs. Soott Siddons, and that she can not rise from her self conscious environment into the old domain of Umagiaative passion,” the Peoria Call believes “it is evident from these symptoms that what Mia Cavendish really needs 1* * liver pad.” The Chicago Tima spells it Kearney for aia. Perhaps thorn stalwart papers who insist that Tilden is the only democratic candidate for the presidency, will see in this soft money fight against Bayard something that helps Tilden! There will be no greater disappointment anywhere than in tbe stalwart editor’s bosom, except at 15 Grammercy Park, when Tilden fails of the 1880 nomination. At the funeral of Mrs. Hul^ tbe New York lady who was found dead and bound in her bed at her home in Forty-bseond street, while the coffin was resting in the box on the bars across the empty grave, the earth caved at the end, the box slipped and the coffin with the body fell with a doll crash head down into the grave; two of the persons present •lipped and fell partly under the coffin and partly in the grave, and a email monument at the grave of one of Mrs. Hall’s nephews was overturned by an attendant starting back suddenly. This terrible scene combined with impenetrable mystery that surrounds the murder of Mrs. Hull, made wide spread horror, and to add to it no timber could be found to replace the broken pieces for more than twenty minutes, and tbe mourners had to stand waiting all that time. The striking ’longshoremen of New York who have resumed work demand the discharge of those men employed while they were “striking,” and the Herald pertinently wants to know “Who owns the steamship lines anyhow ?’’ The New York Herald says Reformed episcopal services have opened at Peterborongh, England, and several clergymen of tbe Anglican church have applied to Bishop Bugden to be received into the Reformed chnrch.

while to attempt to correct this freak of disease when their skill was first invoked, the vital organs of the patient were found to be so sturdily constituted that great relief has already been experienced by tbe sufferer, and strong hopes are entertained
of bis permanent cure ultimately.
The history of the case is as follows: In tbe winter of 1877, Warford, then a cashier in French’s hotel, contracted a severe cold, which never, to his knowledge, took the shape of active pleurisy, although its consequences indicate thnt pleuritic inflammation must have existed. He was an active and strong fellow of twenty-three. Despite remedies the cold progressed, and his first medical adviser was of the opinion that his life was worth at most only a few months’ purchase. The treatment prescribed looked only toward mitigating his sufferings. Late in the spring of '77 he had become so weak that he was forced to give up business, and he went back to Troy, his native place, to spend his few remaining days. Dr. Waldo, of West Troy, who became his medical attendant, was much puzzled to account for many of the symptoms that accompany consumption. He sounded his patient’s chest, and found that the left long was completely atro-
phied, and was doing no duty whatever.
During his investigations he was dumfounded to find the young man’s heart Seating in his right side. Watford was himself unconscious of the shifting of the organ. He had never during his life, suffered any discomfort from it, but always theretofore, when he had occasion to notice it, he had always found it on the left side, where other folks 1 hearts hang. No change of position had been reported in the medical experiences of the physicians, and Dr. Waldo was greatly puzzled to account for it Dronsy of the chest was suspected, but there again the physician was put in doubt by the absence of many characteristic symptoms. The patient was able to lie in any position, whereas, in other dropsical places, only particular positions are found tolerable by the afflicted. The disease also manifested itself in bloated sac under the eyes, in swelling of the extremities and in peculiar opaque pallor, and all these symptoms were absent in Warlord's case. Dr. McLean, of West Troy, one of the most eminent practitioners in Central
New York, was called in consultation..

feeble at the time that they were afraid to administer ana'sthetics, so, after fortifying him with sundry doses of brandy, they began to cut The primary incision was made between the fifth and sixth ribs, about eight inches from the spine on the left side. A rubber tube, ending in an exhaustible reeeiver, was inserted, and through this nearly eight pints of purulent serous matter were discharged. The patient was almost instantly relieved of the oppressed, labored respiration, and within twenty-four Hours was up and around the house, weak, but hopeful. He gathered strength rapidly, and the physicians came to the conclnsion that, despite the doable labor thrown upon his right lung, he was free from active disease in those organs. The heart, however, showed no disposition to return to its natural place. Within a few weeks Warford grew worse again, and it became apparent that there was another effusion of dropsical matter upon tbe thorax. They suffered it to proceed until his respiration became seriously interfered with again, when they renewed the tapping process. In the six weeks since the first tapping nearly seven pinto of the purulent fluid had collected and were ejected. From that second tapping until now W&rford’s health has been improving. His system has responded with increasing activity to the remedies used, and the necessity for tapping has decreased in frequency. He has undergone six tappings, all told, the last of which was done in March. Altogether thirty-nine pints of-the dropsical fluid have been drawn from him. The improvement may be seen in the circumstance that only four and a half pinto were drawn off by the two last operations, although they were made three months
apart.
The patient has returned to this city and is about engaging again in active business. DrSr Piling and Helmuth, who have assumed charge of his > ease, say that they discover indications of aif forcing itself into tbe atrophied lung again, and are hopeful Shat it may be encouraged to resume auty. If it does so, the heart may be induced to swing back to its natural place. They are about persuaded of the propriety of introdacing some inflammatory agent into the seat of the disease at the next tapping, hoping that, by bringing about active inflammation, they will be able to permanently cure the diseased part. This done, tl ey profess to see no reason why Warford may not again be a sound man, with two lungs doing active duty, and a heart in its right place. The only similar case in the medical records is that of a contortionist reported in the English medical journals a few months since. The change in the position of his heart to the right aide was too great in his case, however, and ke died. Magnet* In the Minneapolis Mills.

(Boston Irttorto New Yerk World. 1 One of these abodes of diaesso and death was in James place. We visited it and wars shown into a room which waa rank with fool odors, and where ssvsa children, white nod black, all of them under a year and a half old, were huddled together on a “shakedown.” One of them was sadly diseased and another was very-sickly. One of tbs healtbier children was feeding out of the same bottle used by a child with a contagious disease. In a quart jog was a mixture of molasses and laudanum, which was used as a “soothing syrup” and which accounted for the starved and pinched feces and fractious tempers of the children. The old crons who kept the house bad the reputation of being a witch. We requested her to bring ua two children from a room above, which she did. dngging one of them by the wrist, while the other was carried under her arm like an umbrella. On application to the board of health the place was broken up. In a similar place on Kinuaird street slow starvation was carried on. The children had apparently good natural constitution*, but their bones were slicking through their ski* They were in a rear room, which the woman refused to open to u at first It was very very warm,'but the windows were all closed and wraps were oiled on the cribs. The children were sleeping with the pupils of their eyes strongly contracted—aa unmistakable evidence of opium—and they were in a state of nndeanliness sickening to behold. -But their chief suffering appeared to be from lade of food. We gave some milk to two of them, aud they devoured it with an eagerness which could have been produced only hr starvation. Une of our men asked the “medical geutteman ’ in attendance what was the matter with a certain child at this place, and he answered “chronic hydrocephalus." No such disease existed. The child waa taken away and cared for and to in a fair way to recover; Of course these people devise ridiculous stories to account for the sickness of their “boardera ’ when an attempt to made at inveetigalion. In thia case the woman told us that the mother of this child brought a poisoned rose and wared it across the nose of her infect, and that the odor of the flower was so very rank that everybody the boose complained. There was on' of the places near the Massachusetta e^neral hospital where they were so a while ago that they allowed one of ^eir children to tumble out of a fourth storr window and break its neck. The diet in aU of these “farms” to of tbe most inexpert rive kind, end the milk to greatly diluted.' Then the various “soothing syrups” make the children quiet and take away tneir appetites in a great degree. So much for the petty places. If I was at liberty to speak freely of the large “ferms,” such as exist at Worcester and Westfield, and in fact in almost every county, there would indeed be a revolution. These are private institutions backed by wealthy men. We have had two or three of them under watch for some time. We have three hundred men in the different districts and a dozen here, and besides we are in communication with the kindred societies at New York and Philadelphia and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, foncing a complete allied children’s society. If it chances that some of our men are known we can obtain others very quickly. We intend to ferret pot this thing and stop it. BUSINESS MEN’S MEETING. A Merchants’ Association Formad-Ths Fourth uf July to be Celebrated. About ninety of the most prominent business men of the city met last night at the board of trade hall. Harry Craft was chosen chairman, and Herman Bamberger secretary. The object of the meeting waa explained by Joseph R. Perry and E. B. Martindale. It had been called for the special purpose of inducing the railroads to run excursion trains into tbe city indnee people who buy goods to come here and spend their money instead of going to other cities. A committee was then appointed to take the matter in band. Tbe committee consisted of Joseph R. Perry, J. A. McKensie, Wm. M. Davis, Herman Lieberand William Hineeon. Paul Sch aster favored the running of Sunday excursion trains, because many coming on that day would remain over until Monday and Tuesday to buy goods. The chairman thought that suggestion should lie over until the permanent committee reported. David Gibson, president of the board of trade, then spoke. He said the great want of Indianapolis was nfl effective business organization, A board of trade should embrace ail the business men of the city, and there ought to be a daily gathering in that hall of 290 or 300 men, instead of a few grain dealers and brokers. He thonght that railroads were disposed to do right, and would give a respectful hearing to any grievance properly brought before them. He offered the use of the hall to the merchants for any meetings that might beheld in the future. The committee then reported: We, year committee appointed, would respectfully suggest the tallowing offleen and committees tar a permanent or^am/.aiion of the Indianapolis Mercantile aiaoelation.

All the members of the board of aldermen attended a rather unimportant meeting last night. The resolution authorizing the fire board to employ two additional men for the Skinner truck was passed. That, requiring the civil eneineer to make a professional examination of the tracks of the street railway company was referred to the board of public improvements. The ordinances referred from the council were passed, and action on other matters reported to the board concurred in. The annual meeting of tbs board was fixed for the Wednesday succeeding the annual session of the council, instead of the Tuesday following.
