MONDAY. (SEPTEMBER H, 1SSV.

SINCE the Freeman oomes out in iiupport •f the republican cit/ticket, rallying the mugwump* thereto, they will no longer be “the four kida” in republican nomenclature, but “our independent feliow-citirena.”

Hasn’t itf How good of it! “Bless your soul,” said the fellow as he was being hauled •way hand-cufled, “I wouldn’t strike you.” When a streak of enterprise runs through • Louisville paper the consequences sometimes are in danger of becoming disastrous. One of the aid papers the other day wishing to show that it was alive and full-abreast with the current of thing* pounced on a quotation which had been u»ed in argument, declaring h to he “an ancient and time-hon-ored chestnut,” when, loand behold, it was a quotation from Holy Writ! ANOTHER mangling, and death probably, wider the wheels. What Indianapolis needs is, not so much a viaduct at Virgiania avenue •0 the bunching of all the tracks that enter the city at the present roadway and then this roadway sunk from East •treet on the east to the approaches of the river on the west. Then every street could have a viaduct of a few feet rise; the problem of room for the union passenger station would be solved, and the continuous •laughter of life and depreciation of property brought to an end. If should be noted that the point sought to be made by superserviceable supporters of the whilom successful republican party, in “a republican administration having paid wvend-so much of the public debt,” the vital faet is ignored that it is the people who pay the debt, net an administration. If payment tbureof U not continued by a democratic admiaiatration there are the monthly treasury reports to show why. The last change ia the revenue laws was made by a republican administration, and if thereunder no more of the debt is paid it ia the affair of the people. Long continued power led the speakers of the republican party into a batftt oflaking credit for all that was accomplished simply from an execution of laws made to its hand and which it couldn’t help •xecuting. It also led to claiming credit for good crops, fine weather, and in short “the oarth” generally,and the fullness thereof. It k a foolish habit as well as an amusing one. Wk hare had occasion to express our belief that the republican party wasn’t made up of all saints nor the democratic party of all rascals. The former party has been the more fortunate in this city election fn ranging itself as a party on the side of enforcing the law, and of such policy as will compel lawless elements to bear their fhare of the common burden, the biggest single part of which they themselves create. But there are those in the republican party who “hanker” for the free aloon lawless condition ol affairs—follows who do not pay taxes and do not care a cent who does pay them nor how much they are. On the other hand, there are those in the democratic party who are opposed to this certainly dangerons scheme. They are grieved and repulsed at seeing their party committed officially to the championship of avowed tawleesnem and extravagance, and they will not be bound by it Such men are first of all good citisens, and wa expect them to make their votes felt on the side of good citizenship, and all that causes life in a community to be worth living. UKHXANY will not recede; Spain must fight or give up Yap without a fight; that ie the tenor of the news trom Europe this morning. It has a double interest for the Tnited Statee—the interest that any European war has, and in addition the interest attaching to the consequences. That Spain will be licked is certain. Then comes Prince Bismarck with his little bill for damages. Spain is bankrupt; in one sense •be is land poor. There is Cuba! “Never mind money” aye Bismarck, “We’ll accept Cuba in caneellatkm of all claims.” This we take it is the cause and consequence of this Yap difikalty. Does any one think that Bismarck wants that little bushel of earth, even for a coaling station so badly that he must go about like a brute to get it? Couldn’t he hare bought it out of hand at lets than the coal bill of his men-of-war would be in taking it forcibly? It is evident ha could. But he didn’t want Yap that way, for it is not Yep he wants, but an excuse to get Onba. This is where our interest comes in. Can we afford to have this despotism of blood and iron squatting on our doorstep? We can always afford to have weak and helpless Spain then, but ws can’t afford to have Ger■any there any more than we could to have France in Mexico. It is not at all unlikely that President Cleveland’s administration may have something more to do than mongering with the offices. The undertaking of a Civil Service Reform Association for Indiana, in which Senator Fouliggrififo^fotinently interested, as appeared in otWMgflBir with him the other day, is one of tlif^pj distinctly creditable things to the Bute, and presages an awakening of the publie conscience which shall result la good things. Our State service is

one of the most digraceful of the thirtyeight It is ruled by the bitterest proscriptive partisanship, without regard to law and frequently in the frw flow of corruption. There are few States that have as noble list •f public charitable and penal institutions; the history of their administration illustrates some one or all three of the reprehensible conditions we cited. One great institution is to-day, and baa been for half a dozen years, managed as clearly in violation of the law as is flat burglary; and the State’s chief executive especially empowered by that law to correct it. sits by consenting—because of “party.” In pur great Insane Hospital the former superintendent, discharged at the behest of political favoritism, is on record as to the curse of the spoils system that cripples and corrupts it, while the present superintendent is no less vehement and outspoken in his denunciation and in his plea of civil service reform for the rale of action there. It is to take these great concerns and the whole of the State service which is purely routine and expert in itscharacterout of the greasy clutch of the spoilsmen, and to end the perversion and nuisance which ward bumtnerism and legislative lobbyism fastens upon us. The beginning of this effort for a ‘ civil service” association should be hailed with encouragement by the men and women of Indiana who are interested solely in pure and economical State administration. It is time these came in their might and took from the aristocratic class of strikers and heelers, who live by office at the public expense, the direction of public affairs, and compel them to yield'up ! the s]>ecial privilege of office monopoly ! which they have so long enjoyed and take : their chance equally with other good citizens J on the ground of merit and efficiency. When ; this is brought to pass our insane, our feeble- ■ minded, the deaf mutes, the blind and all | the victims of misfortune or fault within the : charge of the State will no longer be handed j over to the neglect of manuipulators of ward j primaries and whisky-vote dispensers, but to the care of trained people who shall come by i their places because of merit, and retain them j independent of politics. The Foolish Free Thinkers. The tree thinker*’ assemblage at Albany, N. Y., yesterday did not amount to nearly as much as they doubtless think it did. The ostentation ot'their meeting on Sunday was though they apparently do not see it, a confession of weakness. Why Sunday? If to them Sunday is as other days why not one of the other days? The fact of their choice of Sunday thus becomes a significant confessiop of weakness. At this assemblage they heard addresses from James Barton, Ingersoll and others—Ingersoll’s, of course, being his customary rant. They adopted resolutions, tne spirit of all which is set forth in the second one, and truly it alarms nobody. This resolution can be easily accepted by Christians; is, in fact, already accepted by Christianity in spirit, so far as principle is involved. This resolution demands a repeal of the laws exempting churches from taxaatiou. That has been demanded by many Christians, and is not resisted by any that we know of, os a matter of principle, but simply as a matter of exj ediency; that inasmuch as churches with us are voluntary, drawing nothing from the public purse for support, their value to the community as moral centers, as police powers, is ample return for freedom from taxation. Should this consideration ever be denied and taxation imposed, it would controvert no principle. The resolution demands prohibition by law of the appropriation of public moneys to religious institutions. This, too, can be readily accepted. The demand for the repeal of laws compelling the observance of Sunday is balderdash. There are no such laws in fact. Where ancient laws so read they are translated in observance to secular uses, not held to sacred uses. Sunday as a holiday is held in the spirit of the law simply as a convenient day of the seven for man and beast to rest, not for the former to worship. The Sunday liquor laws, for instance, are not based on a sacred foundation but on a foundation exactly the same that prescribes the same liquor regulations for election days, the Fourth of July, Christmas, New Years and other holidays—days when the mass of men is idle. The National Thanksgiving Day conies nearest the recognition of what the free-thinkers complain, but the very fact of being a yearly observance, peace or war, good crops or bad, works in it a stated holiday—a day of rest from work—rather than a .day of religious character. The employment of paid chaplains by legislative bodies is rather honored in the breach than the observance; and when pay attaches to that service it will be found to have its impluse more in politics than religion; the impluse of providing an office to catch the religious vote. So our free thinkers are not such awftilly tough citizens as they would have us imagine. They don’t accomplish much beyond the advertisement of their possession of the half-truth, which* makes its possessor rave and bluster. The whole truth can always afford to wait quietly. It makes men flee. Welshmen to the Fore. The Welshmen have begun to realize that they are not getting as much credit for being in tilings as they deserve. And they remind us that of the fifty-live signers of the Declaration, of Independence seventeen were Welshmen, either oy birth or lineage. Moreover, fourteen generals, one colonel, six captains and one lieutenant In the Revolutionary War were Welshmen. Progress of Matter.

A society lady at Newport says that she can gather at any time a hundred young, handsome and rich women as guests, but that to find half a dozen young men who are not spoiled with admiration, selfish and egotistic, would exceed her ability—a courteous, obliging gentleman, considerate of his hostess and mindful of his duties to her and

her guests, being a rare bird indeed. While some workmen were dredging at

One of tbe justices of the Maine Supreme Court occasionally amuses himself, when he is alone, by taking down an old fiddle and playing on it. The Judge used to be an expert performer of jigs ou the fiddle, but since his boyhood has not devoted much time to the violin. He was born and raised in poverty, and the story ot his life is almost a romance. His father was tbe fiddler of the village, a nomadic and jovial soul. Said an old neighbor the other day, “When I went to muster, sixty years ago’ I used to see the Judge and his father playing the fiddle for dances at six pence per tune. That was the regular price hi those days. None of the dancers ever supposed that their little fiddler would become a Judge of the Supreme

Court.”—[Lewiston (Me.) Journal.

It is related that once when Mme. Patti returned from her daily drive she was exceedingly thirsty, and asked M. Nicolini to request some one of their long retinue to bring her a glass of water. “What!” shrieked Nieolim, in high B fiat, “Ma mignonne, you know that you are going to sing to-morrow night, and that water will chill vour blood. “Oh, no; I forbid any water.” 3 ‘Then give me a taste of wine,” pleaded thirsty Patti. “Wine!” roared Nicolini in his highest C. “Ma mignonne, you are going to sing tomorrow night, and you know tnat wine will heat your blood. No, I can not permit wine.” “Please, can’t I have something wet?” begged Patti, as her palate clicked dryly in her throat. Nicolini pandered long and deeply, and at length, with his own hands, carefully prepared for the great siuger a soothing draught of dissolved magnesia.

So mu?h for being a prims donna.

The late Mr. Thoms, says the St. James Gazette, was beet known to the present generation as the exterminator of alleged centenarians, and since his retirement from active business a few years ago crops of these venerable impostors have sprang up, which must have sweetened his closing years with many a sardonic reflection. He once mentioned to Lord

bit of pine block, two feet in length by six inches in diameter, which he had anchored there on a former visit. There we anchored, and as all hands were keen to take the first fish, the baited hooks were overboard and fish taken before the schooner’s headway had

been checked.

Then the fun began, and continued fast and furious for several hours. It required little skill to catch the bass. They were plentiful and hungry, took the bait freely and were easily hooked and landed. Mr. K. and myself took the launch, ami, with the first mate to scull us, moved a little way from the big boat. Now our scuiler, like Dick Chamberlain, of Somers Point, was partly deaf, and also an ardent fisherman. He looked with scorn upon my rod and reel, and openly boasted lus determination to beat tne that day. He enjoys a big reputation as an angler, and has rarely been beaten by a haudline fisherman. He had never been pitted against a rod and reel before, which probably inspired him with greater

confidence.

Well, the match began, the deaf man and the haudline against your humble servant and the rod and reel. He started out well, bringing upas his almost first catch a threepound bass. You should have seen the smile of triumph that illumined his countenance as he tossed the first fish into the basket. 1 was not far behind him. I brought np two nearly as large as his, and for a time we bad it nip-and-tuck. But he soon began to see the advantage I enjoyed in being able to hook a fish more certainly than he. Then I had first-class Chestertown hooks, than which there are none better tor sea bass. He had hooks ot the ordinary kind. After an hour’s fishing he began to weaken. I could perceive that he began to regard the rod and reel and Chestertowns with a feeling akin to, respect, ami that he felt that he had made a great mistake when he thought he could beat me. even in sixty feet of water. What surprised him most was that almost invariably I landed two fish, while he got only one—occasionally two. He couldn't understand it, though 1 did, per-

fectly.

My secret was this: Whenever I hooked a single fish, instead of reeling it in, I would wait for another to bite and then hook a second one. I had not long to wait, for the fish were plentiful and the biting free. The ability to take two at a time in this way depends upon the tact of the rodman in distinguishing the difference between the “pulling” of a hooked fish and the sharp biting of the fish just taking the bait. We did not keep count, but 1 think I caught two to his one. Excuse this personal mention. I allude to the incident only for the purpose of illustrating, as I have so frequently done, the superiority of the rod and reel for deep sea or any oilier kind of fishing over the bungling haudline. The water was as clear as crystal. We could see the hooked fish coming up to the surface at a depth of ten or fifteen feet. On one occasion, just as I brought a tine bass to the surface, a five-foot shark made a dash for him, but my fish escaped, and as the shark appeared to be disappointed at his tailure, he swam around the boat in the most impudent manner. It was a beau* tiful sight, lor the water was perfectly clear, and every graceful movement of his shark-

ship was visible.

Trailing my hooked fish in front of him, he would follow it with the utmost eagerness, only to hnd himself disappointed when he appeared to be most certain of the prize. After tantalizing him for some time in that way I enticed him to the boat’s side, when I gave him a prod with my rod, which started him off like a flash to the depths below. We fished for about three hours, the total count footing up four hundred and sixty-six good sized bass, a large number of them ranging from two to three anda-half pounds, but the majority averaging not more than trom three-quarters to a pound. The sea bass is not a gamey fish, in the true sense ot the term. He is a vigorous biter, but has feeble' powers of endurance. In fifteen or twenty feet of water such a catch as ours would afford much better sport, but to reel up two fish, weighing variously from one to two pounds each, trom a depth of sixty feet, is simply hard work. But my hanllline companions enjoyed it immensely, aud I am free to say that it was a pleasant episode to me. The day was lovely, the company agreeable and the sailing all that could have been desired, had we had just a

little stifl'er breeze.

Not Capable of the Crime. A good storv is told by the Boston Record of a famous lawyer of the Essex bar, well knowu as a politician and even better as a

wit:

He was in early days defending a man charged with illegally selling liquor, and the facts were all against him. The prosecution proved the sale of a pint of whisky and found that he charged an extra price for it, saying it was Saturday night and that was the last drop of whisky he had in the house. The poor prisoner seemed to have no witnesses and no friends, and he stood there, bloated and boozy, the picture of dissipation

and degradation.

The ’stpiire was, however, equal to the occasion. Turning to the jury, he said: “Gentlemen of the jnry, I shall detain you

but a minute. Prisoner, look upon the jury; jurors, look upon the prisoner. That is all. Now, gentlemen, if you can say as honest men that, after looking at my client, vou believe he is a man who would sell the last pint of whisky that he had iu the house,

why, then, convict him?”

There might have been a flaw in the argument, but the jury acquitted the prisoner.
