to law, certified to him the four higMMta eramination. Mr. Chandler retone* th* names, saying, tnat inspection of the exam' inatlon paper* led him to the conetaston that none of the candidates had, upon exam-, tewtio*, shown sufficient intelligence to gire prombe of flDteg the vacancy in his department aeceptably. What ihwfef ^ fldency fe the pdblfe eerHee this official does abowl The taftrem* ta that If he should pick • political favorite and apoint him to the place without any examination at all, be would be competent. As appointments la Mr. Chandler’s department must by law be from among those who hare passed the examination, perhaps If the commtssloa would certify four who had passed the poorest examinations, such grade of intelligence might suit Mr. Chandler. That gentleman Is simply trying to cripple and confute the attempt at cirll service reform. Mb. Joseph Hattox the journalist and writer who Is trayening with Mr. Irving and who wlU record the latter gentleman's “impressions of America,” thinks the absence of a law of international copyright is one of the greatest obstacles to the formation of an American literature. “So long" he t*ys “as publishers can buy chetply or steal English works they can not aGord to pay American writers of books such prlcjs for their work as will giro the country a body of men devoted to literary pursuits. Given tk# proper encouragement of native novelists, essayists and literateurs generally, America would rival England, France and Germany la the higher walks of literature. She never will without an International copyright.” And be thinks it wonderful that this country has even done so much as It has with this to contend agalnat. It is a view of the case that is not much dwelt upon. The moral aspect of the case has never had any effect. Perhaps this aspect of it msy have. It is at any rate worth dwelling upon.

*' report of the lpfemit9, appointed by jhs Wool Grower*’ aseoelatidB, yesterday, to examine into the effect of the tariff on the wool trad). The committee say* that t large ndajoritj of the laboring classes, including farmer*, are compelled to pay a large amount more for tools, clothing, farm Implements and other necessaries of life by virtue of the tariff, and that therefore certain articles, wool beiag one which they produce, should be protected from foreign competition by a tariff Impost. That Is to say, as Peter, the farmer, has bee* taxed on his plow and reaper to pay Paul, the manufacturer, It Is now the turn ef John, the laborer, to be taxed an the wool in his stocking* te reimburse Peter, the farmer, of the amount ef which he was robbed by the tariff to pay Paul, the manufacturer. Now let all the Johns hold a convention and demand to be protected by am impost on foreign labor till the price of wages is raised to an amount equal to that which they are defrauded of by tho operation of the tariff on every woolen article which they are compelled to purchase. The concise statement of the Wool Growers’ committee demonstrates that every article U taxed to support seme ether industry, and that really none of them gain anything by the tariff tax, for what the wool grower gains in the price of his protected wool he pays oyer to the manufacturer of protected iron. It is the laborer, the mechanic, the clerk, and the merchant who are directly plundered,without possible hope of recompense by the present system.

Bomb months ago The News noticed a suggestion that railway trains could carry or show signals indicating the approach of serious changes of weather, or such as would be likely to affect the condition of growing crops, and thus forewarn, and, in a measure, protect farmers along the road in Eight of the cars, and those within convenient comsunicating distance, a half dozen miles at least, on each side. The train cwuld show one signal—flag or lamp, according to the light—for a cold ware coming, another for a wet one, a third for a storm of wind, and a fourth for any marked change that was likely to follow the^ine of the road. Many a fruit farmer has seen the time when an hour’s warning of a possible frost would have enabled him to save half or more of a peach or strawberry crop, and It would not have cost, to maintain a signal system on railways half as much la a life time as the value of that lost crop. The policy of doing so great a good, or at least taking the chance of it, at so slight an expeaso of time and money, is so obvious that one would think its Immediate adoption a muter of as much eeitainty os the moving of the train.

Ii ia/ai her staggering to lead the report of the proceedings of the Kentucky state senate. In one day bills to prohibit the cale of liquors of any kind in live different counties were passed. Two bills to prohibit Vhelr sale within three miles of certain churches were passed; three bills passed prohibiting the sale In throe separate school districts; two bills enacting prohibition in two different towns and one enacting local option In a county were passed. The good wsrk ended with a bill to incorporate a church. All that la one day, and in Kentucky! We haven’t heard so much good of Kentucky in years. But it is a fact that in many southern states—Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina and others perhaps,there is a constant and increasing progress in cutting down and abolishing the use of liquor. They are ahead of northern states In this progress. Climate is one thing that helps them. It is easier to cut off drinking in a warm dry climate than in a cold or damp one. But the chief element of satisfaction In it strikea us J as the tribute it is to the American stock. The south is peopled almost entirely,we might say, by Americans. It has little of foreign Immigration and it has fewer large towns and cities; s* we may see what the bent of the American stock is concerning the liquor question. It U toward abstinence.

Ax last the Fitz John Porter bill j has passed the house and goes to meet its fate in the senate. In the house it passed by a vote of 184 to 78, a total of ‘J61, in addition to which 24 members were paired. In the 184 affirmative votes there were two independents and 17 republicans, which is about ten per cent of the majority. This is indeed a respectable coloring, sufficient to rob the result of pure partlsanlsm and demonstrate that some congressmen could act as jurymen, impartially weighing evidence, and be not forever tied to political prejudice. It is to be earnestly hoped the bill will be speedily reached in the senat and be put to vote without the perfunctory debate to attempt to make personal capital for political purposes. No one is to be convinced by these speeches, and they arc for the profit of the opponents of the bill solely. No man who advocates this Fitz John Porter bill expects popular capital from it, because he has to advocate it as a question of evidence solely, and appeal to facts which the people at large have not generally Informed themselves on. But the man who opposes the bQl can rave in glowiag words of patriotism and confound or sweep aside all merits of the ease la a roaring torrent of country -defending adjectives, as Congressman Calkins did yesterday. Bo we trust this bkl will be pushed promptly to a vote In the senate.

Tax Fat Stock show is a thing that to be stated simply should guarantee success. We commend to every one the efforts of Mr. Mitchell for the one proposed for December next. Let it be the beginning of an annual fat stock show that will make Indiana and Indianapolis known everywhere. Just now we caa think of nothing that would do the state more good, and we feel that It must strike all so. The mere moaey success of the exhibition will be nothing. Were It indeed to result to a low in this particular, it would be well worth while. But it will not If It U properly pushed. The great good of tt lies in the help it will be to our fanners. As Mr. Mitchell said yesterday In the account we gave of the project, they will be taught a practical lesson of the value of different breeds, the fitness of each for such and such puryew, the easiest and cheapest way te put flesh on cattle and the beet time to sla«ght«r. Visitors from abroad have attended such Miowa as this at Toledo and Chicago. No city to the country is better situated, aad tew so well, aa this for a meeting potoL A proper subscription fund, and libera! premium which will fetch fine stock, and than wfil be inaagurated a scheme which will add Immeasurably to the state’s wealth and be a credit to the Inhabitants thereof. By all mesas, let os have the tot .stock show.

CURRENT COMMENT. Damage suits for the uccleanliness of the streets at the hack and wagon stands might hasten into action the suggestion we made some time age that these places shouM be cleaned daily. Old railroad men say the middle car In a train is the safest, and a seat near tho middle of that car on the right hand side (away from the other track; is the safest there. It will probably be impossible to flaunt the ensanguined garment this year, and Senator Sherman’s outrage resolutions are not likely to raise an issue. The Staunton Valley Virginian puts it, Tt is safe to say without protective laws not one of the factories established In the south since the war would now be in existence.” Why they have all been established in the face of absolute free trade against the competition of old and strong factories at the north. They haven’t had one particle of protection against the very competition that could hurt them most. Mr. Blaine's publishers say the first volume will soon be out, the copy being nearly all In hand sow. Great pains is being taken with it and this has caused the delay. There has been no trouble whatever. Ex-Governor Foster says Arthur can not get the presldajtial nomination because he can’t carry Ohio. With Arthur as the candidate he said the campaign in Ohio would simply be abandoned by the repullcaus of the state. The Chicago Tribune thinks he is eminently correct. It will strike most people with force.. By gones may be bygones hut Ohio was Garfield’s state. Type-writing and shorthand to be taught In the public schools is what the Chicago Tribufi'h wants. Both parties arc afraid of the tariff question the Boston Herald thinks, and that the republicans will be satisfied if they can frighten the democrats Into dodging it for they will thus rob the democratic party of the only Issue that promises to give It strength. Matthew Arnold told a St. Louis Post Dispatch reporter that American newspapers, in his judgment, w’ere too sensational in the character of the news they < siphasized and in their big leaded headline ; that there was not here what the French would call a serious press. He had “been struck, however, with the ability displayed by American newspaper writers. They are far above the mass of people to which they have to cater, and are really abler, 1^ my opinisa, than the writers for the European press.” The beer brewing business is Increasing enormously in this country. The Brewer’s Journal gives the following statistics of the sales in six states last year: New York. 5,843,354 barrels Pennsylvania, 1.706.946 barrels: Ohio, 1,53*.351 barrels; WTkoiisia, 1 208,143 barrels; Illinois 1.071.403 barrels, and Missouri, 1,022,659 barrels. New York city alone stows sales of 3,249,906 barrels; Philadelphia, 1,923,514 barrels. In a St. Louis paper there appears the following “personal:” It would be advisable for the well-known dtyofliclal who has been in tho habit of coming home in the wee sma’ hoars of the ma.-n-lnt,and always sure to beat hDlwife, to be going In training or practice on some one beside a poor woman. A sympathetic Subscriber. Having heard Patti, Gerster, and 8embrich within twenty-four hour*, the Chicago Tribune says Hembrlch has greater powers over the hearts of her audience than either of the others. St. Louis is said to be one of the most taxed cities In the country, and it is now talking of taxing the newsboys, making them take •ut a license.

“I think that your tariff wants to be modified, and the extent of protection graded lower down, not enough for the benefit of other countries, but for your own benefit; not even for the benefit of your own consumers, but for the benefit of your manufacturers. When J whs a boy the United States was the first commercial power op the globe. Now it hardly has native seamen enough to man Its coastwise vessels. Your navigation laws ought to be relaxed to let yon get at least ships enough in foreign markets t<* keep our native crews in hand and practice.”— An eminent Frenchman’s view. Polygamy is a crime. The crime of poly gamy consists not In a religious belief; not in any creed or tenet of a religious body; not in a revelation from heaven that “plural marriage" Is a saving virtue; but in a practice that is declared to be criminal by the civil law. The political and religious liberty that is affirmed at the basis of our constitution attacks not opinions of any sort. The citiEt ns who conforms his coudqct to the requirement of the law Is at liberty to hold w hatsoever belief, religious or irreligious, moral or immoral; sensible or idiotic, that pleases him. It is only acts that the law can treat as criminal.—{Chicago Times. The democratic party certainly shows no desire to disguise Its undying hostility to civil service reform. It is of no consequence whatever that the country believes in it, desires it, demands it. They will equally have none of It. Moreover, there is nothing for democrats In the consideration that, If overthrown, it will Inevitably carry with It the party stabbing it to death.—[St. Paul

Pioneer Press.

The republican party proposes to maintain the wartaxes, to create surplus revenues for the sake of protection, to distribute these to one way and another iu order to keep up the surplus. If the democratic party does not propose to antagonise all this, what does it propose?—{Cluctonati News-

TOorresDcadfaee of The TndiutooU* News.) Nrw ToffX, January 31.—A big court

room full of people. The jury intent upon bearing all of • story purporting to describe n man's perfidy. Before them • group of lawyers, with three women and a young giri in the midst. Tho women are fat matrons, severe of visage, and unblushing while the testimony is indecent: but the girl’s face reddens, her eyes are not lifted from the floor, and she shrinks and settles down to her chair, as though to be as nearly as possible out of sight. Does not the scene explain itself? You guess at once that the ashamed creature is the vlctlmplalntlff. Therein lies the curloas feature of Clara Totten’s lawsuit against Oassius H. Read. Clara is not there, she is too Ql at borne to even talk about the case, and it is said that in no event would she appear as an oral witness. But It would net do to venture a sentimental issue Inceurt without an attractive female to Impersonate the injury for which compensation is demanded. The downcast an 1 modest girl who sits In the Resd-Toitea trial Is a vicarious plaintiff. She is a sister of the original, and closely resembles her, so that she adequately fills the jurors’ tear-dimraed eyes tn the role of wronged victim. It is not in my province to rehash the news of the day, and I am not going to offend with the disgusting details of this matter; but I wish to call attention to the Illustration of the fact that good and bad folks are closely mixed here In New York. The defendant Is the landlord of tire Hoffman house, a very fashionable establishment, with a great deal of refinement and other goodness among its permanent guests: a*d he is also a partner with Ned Stokes, the killer of Jim Fisk, In the famously gorgeous Hoffman bar-room, with Its gallery of nude art. Clara was his mistress, and yet she mingled with the boarders, nominally on their level as to respectability. Her home was at the same time the approved boarding house kept by her mother in Fifth avenue, and for the rental of which Read be-

came security. Curious city, this! And how little New Yorkers know about

New Yorkers. We talk much of the Vanderbilts, and imagine that we are quite familiar with the members and characteristics of the family: but vou might go the lehgth of Broadway asking every person you met to tell you h#w many sons William H. Vanderbilt has without getting a correct answer. Tnere are four. They are William K., Cornelius. George »V. and Frederick. The one totally unknown to the public is George. He is the literary member of the Vanderbilt family. He has a large library in the second story of his father’s residence, and he spends much of his time in It. His face is well known in the city book stores, and he parts with a great deal of money for rare volumes. His health is delicate, and he is said to suffer from enlargement of the heart. It is necessary for him to avoid all excitement, and for this reason he does not attend any of the Vanderbilt balls. He is not seen with the rest of the family In public gatherings. Ills manners are quiet and reserved, and he has a pleasant disposition. One of the lodges of .the Ancient Order of United workman, a co-yperative insurance order, is named Vanderbilt lodge. It has a yearly reception in the winter and William 11. VandcrbiN .Uways sends in his check forflOO. Mrs. William il. Vandt rbfit lately learned that a woman in reduced circumstances was an xious to sell an elegant “crazy" quilt. It v .,s the result of many weeks of labor, and w.*» made of small pieces of bright colored silk. The price was ?100. Mrs. Vanderbilt sentforthe quik.and inclosed ber check for 8250. She does many unostentatious acts of charity in this manner. New Yorkers do not really know where the Vanderbilts live. There is a very general belief that the marble house on the northwest corner of Fifth avenue and Fiftysecond street is the home of Cornelius Vanderbilt. Tlds is a mistake. It belongs to William K. Vanderbilt, tho second son of William II. This is the young man who was said to have sunk his millions in Wall street. Cornelius Vanderbilt bears a remarkable resemblance to the old commodore. He lives on the northwest corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty-seventh street. He is pious and liberal.

Pugilism Is booming in Now York. There

is a popular Impression that very little bat e knuckle lighting Is indulged In here, and the police keep a vigilant and severe eye upon all men who are known to have u'ny connection with the prize ring. The fact is, that thousands of men ia New York gain "

living entirely through their connection wl

prize and glove fighting, and there is no more to fear from the police in making arrangements for prize lights than there Is from the clergy. F.very day matches are made between pugilists for straight prize fights, and every day reports appear In the papers, of encounters between well-known sluggers. Such a match as that which has just been arranged between Tom Henry, of Manchester, England, and Jimmy Murray, of New York, indicates how thoroughly confident the pugilists are of the non-luter-ference of tne authorities. Henry was brought all the way to America simply to fight Murray. Each man has put up 8500 as forfeit money, and they are to fight to a finish in February. Murray Is training at a city saloon, and the other man is beiag taken care of at Harry Hill's country place in Flushing. It is to be a bare knuckla fight, according to Marquis of Queensbury rules, aad it will be witnessed by from lafi to 200 men. Still, prtee fighting is against the

law.

Mostof the fighters of to-day are men of considerable Intelligence. They are of a much hither grade intellectually than those who fought In the ring fifty years ago, and many have gained position and Influence through being successful in the ring. There is a great difference in prize lighters. The broken-nosed, bullet-headed, bull necked, stumpy and low-lived pugilist of the olden days, who associated with hostlers und stable boys.has almost entirely disappeared. The pugilist was formerly the man who took off his hat when he came into the presence of a gentleman. As a rule, the reverse of thisla now true. A great many famous fighters pride themselves upon their manners. Such a one, for instance, is Paddy Ryan. No one could fiattor Ryan more successfully than by averring that he was a ‘ perfect gentleman.” Ryan always wore a beaver hat of the most fashionable mould, and clothing that was richly embellished w ith silk slik facings and velvet collars, lie ware clean linen and gaudy scarfs, and never considered himself quite right anises he held a half smoked ct«:ar in his month. He wore a huge amethyst ring on the small finger of his left hand, and went about the streets accompanied hy a thick-set and brlghjseycd youmr man who was laboriously introduced as “Mr. Paddy Ryan’s secretary, Mr. Jerry O'Brlm.” Together, these two gentlemen wandered about town and were made welcome at ad of the prominent saloons. Rvan had a royal time of it here for a year or so, until he went down south and was inglorious'y walloped bv John L. Sullivan, fnen he came back locking bruised and forlorn. He still wore his high bat, bat hedUctred the cigars and secretary, and devoted his time to cursing the sad fate which made him the Inferior of Sullivan. Just at this time, Sullivan began to make calls. He went about the saloons of New York just as Ryan hail done, but be did not fill the place of that gentle and cultured citizen of Troy. Sullivan w as not a swell. He wore a loose »nd shaggy coat, heavy shoes, a Derby hat, and was often destitute of collars and cuffs. He lacked the gentleness of Ryan. He did not enjoy the companionship of other men as Mr. Ryan did, and was surly and gruff. Mr. Rvan, when ho went to a popular sporting house, sat down at the most prominent table and submitted to being worshipped. The proprietor usually sat with him, and conversed with him suavely about sporting matters. Meanwhile, the loungers about the place were sent abroad to spread the news that Paddy Ryan was there, and soon the trade became’ brisk and vigorous. Paddy Ryan talked to counties# no bodies with dignity and condescension. Ills visits were looked upon as events to b« eagerly welcomed. Sullivan's mode differed decidedly from Ryan’s. He would swagger into one of these saloons carelessly, order a bottle of wine, and gulp it down rapidly, while he smoked the strongest cigar* that could be procured for him. His chin was usually sunk an hts breast aad he would often att for an hour and never say a word. When he did speak, it was in the gruff aad braggart tone of a Bowery rounder. No one ever eared to be imroduct-d to him, fur be was always cart and rude. By degrees as Bulltran became more popular, prosperous and fsmous,his manner softened a Utile. The beaver hat mania struck him, and he became more particular to hi* attire. He now drresaet as fashionably aa Ryan ever did, eye* going to the extent of wearing yellow gloves on hit huge and ham like hands. > But his temper la *1111 surly, and he would rather fight than eat any time. Joe Pendergast, the ambitious Brooklyn

Daily L tha t

rnleswf the prise rtaw, and wad* in amanMr that completely fa at hlete. He knocked Daly down aareral tiroes, and then thumped him before he could get ap. He succeeded to downing his man with Mse, hut he committed so many fouls that the match was given to hi* opponent. On account of the ease with which Pendergast whipped Daly tt was at mice assumed that he was a match for SoFllran. An exhibition wm arranged for him in Madison Square garden, during which he succeeded in knocking out an old man with false teeth and a broken nose, named Hagbey Burns, and be at once challenged the champion. Sullivan, however, refuses to notice him, and he la undoubtedly right, for Pendergast has made no record yet worth speaking of. After he has succeeded to whipping the many men whom Sullivan has xnocked out with ease in four rounds, he may claim the right to challenge the champion. As it is, he must do a good deal of hard work before be arrives at that stage. Charley Mitchell, the English fighter is the most promising man now to the ring. He is almost a boy in appearance, is the son of respectable parents and was educated for a physician. He was a fighter from the time fee was a child and lores the business yet. He is the toughest opponent John L. Bulli11 van ever faced and If he had fiLeon pounds weight and two inches added to his height, he would be a fair match for the Bostonian. MitcheL recently went back to England and tried to got up some matches tberc, but he found that there was little money in it compared with the money to be made in America, and so he is coining back. He will probably arrive iu time to take a hand ia the extraordinary series of fights which are to be decided this summer. The looseness which exists in sporting circles in the matter *f challenging, is productive of a good deal of confusion. At present, everybody is challenging somebody else, and no one is devoting any attention to the man who challenges them. Thus, Sullivan is separately challenged by Charley Mitchell, Mike Cleary, Pendergast, Sheriff and Driscoll. In his turn, Sullivan challenges Ryan to stand up before him for four hours with gloves, and receive therefor the sum of f1,000. Rvan said his mother was sick and be would not shock her feelings by stas ting up before Sullivan again, and turned around promptly and challenged Sheriff. Meanwhile, Cleary, had aimed a specific challenge at Pendergast, and Pendergast bad dared Mitchell to fight him. These"are only a few of the complications. No one knows who will fight the first grade pugilists, but it is probable that one of their number will never light in the the ring again. That one is John L. Sullivan. Sullivan is, by no means, wise, bat he has enough horse sense to know when he Is well off, and he is quite content to giv* exhibitions of sparring through the country with occasional appearances in New York, without bothering himself ami ruaaiag the risk of imprisonment by entering the ring with any ambitious men who may challenge him. Sullivan Is making |2f>,000 a year at the smallest estimate, and having a good time into the bargain. _ Kink. Mr. Cnnkling Didn’t Want It.

Beef Tea a. a Popular Drlak.

[I’Mlsdeiphto Record.]

Three old cronies met recently before the

bar of a fashionable Chestnut street restaurant. “Well, gentiemea,” inquired the insinuating young man on the other side of the counter, placing his hands palms dowa on the marble slab and spreadtag his arms

akimbo, “wbat shall it be this moraine.” “Beef tea,” replied the trio in a breath,

much to the surprise of a reporter, who was

sipping a lemonade within earshot. The bartender dipped out some black stuff

from a small tin can into three glasses, filled them up with steaming hot water,and handed

the decoctions over.

Beef tea being a beverage familiar to the sick room, but heretafore not recognized among the saloons, the reporter was puzzled. Said he confidentially to the man behind the bar. “When did beef tea become a popular drink?” “Quite recently,” was the reply. “It’s a craze, you see, very new in Philadelphia and a novelty In New York. I think the idea came from Loadon. All the saloons in the city are advertising It.” This was true, for nine ta ten of the best patronized saloons and restaurants in the citv display the somewhat singular legend, “Beef tea,” among the list of popular mixtures. The bar tender continued: “It is mostly called far ta the morning by those who have been off on an all-night spree. It Is a sort of settler, to tone up their stomachs; but we have frequent calls for it through the day. We dispose of about 200 beef teas a day, so that you see it’s no small thing. What ia it? why, nothing but what sick people drink when they are not able to take any other nourishment— the extract of beef diluted with hot water and properly seasoned. Occasionally there is a dash of brandy put in, but not often." New Monopoly Schema.
