SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 18&'». AT least the cow* can’t pasture in Indianapolis strests while there is snow on the (round! » I The Farmers’ Congress yesterday took a trip aronnd the Belt and then passed reaoIntions expressing their snrprise and admiration at the perfection of the Stock Yard* and the transportation facilities of the Belt Kailway. We wish they had added a reeolation expressing their disgust at the Union Depot. Gkxxral Logan did wisely in refuting the presidency of the Senate. It raises him In ths esteem of the country higher than his acceptance could have cone. There were something vulgar in the grain of an act eagerly grabbing a dead man’s shoes by one who pat in oompetition with their occupant in Ufa was refused them. Logan adverts to this phase of it in his speech, showing an appreciation, we are free to confess wa did not think him capable of. Standard time has been adopted in the whole country with the exception of twentyseven cities, which are located in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Maine, Kentucky, West Virginia and Ohio, fifteen of the twenty-seven being in the latter State. It results chiefly and only, one might say, in the vexation of the inhabitants of ths said cities, and the Travelers’ Guide thinks it is only a question ef time (and it is, indeed!) before this odd number will oease to be "odd.” Ths Saturday half holiday for workingmen was boomed in New York last Sunday by the Catholio Father Ducey and the Protestant Rev. Mr. Taylor. The Catholic priest also urged the change of the weekly pay day from Saturday to some day in the middle of the week for obvioos moral reasons. Rev. Mr. Taylor said in Liverpool, where he was for many years a pastor, the Saturday half-holiday was long ago established, and would not be surrendered. It helped the common people physically, morally and rsIgionsly, and it harmed no interest. It is a good thing. It ought to prevail. Congressman Cobb is waging a great battle for Indiana stone as the best material for Government buildings against a Pittsburg interest, which is trying to prove the eontrary before the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Cobb denied truly the aspereions oast upon this stone; said he had lived lh the ricinity ot the quarries and knew the material, and added: "But we have scientific evidence. I can show bridge abutments and shafts, in different parts of the country, twenty or thirty yean old, which prove the beanty and elasticity of Bedford stone.” This is good, but it is evidence of fact, not scientific evidence. Cobb is mixed, but he means well and is on the right track. Lay on, Cobb! THE liqnor law of Massachusetts is "strictly business.” Providing for local-option in the matter of license, it heads off the impudence with which Indianapolis has had some experience in the provision that where a community hat voted licenses shall not be granted, all buildings or places therein need by elnbs for the purpoee of selling, distributing or dispensing intoxicating liquor to their members or others, shall be deemed common nuisances; and it proceeds to define flue and imprisonment as the means of suppressing such nuisances. The law is slowly •atohing up with the liquor tr&iiic. By and ky it will "eatoh on” to it and hold it hard •ad fast. The time will come when that traffic will be glad to exist in meekness on the terms prescribed by the law. '

WHETHERTilden * letter to Carlisle is an •ffort to boom the latter for speaker, or is limply a piece of “oold cheek” on his own part, doesn’t make much difference. Where the laugh comes in is at its owlish gravity. WUh all the rhetorical rhodomontade for Which he is noted, he delivers himself of these long periods to my that the matter of coast defense should be undertaken at once by the ■TO of the treasury surplus rather than the P»Ucy of revenue reduction to deplete that surplus. As this is nothing Wore than has been under discussion Ibv aome years the topheaviness of Tilden’s twaddle Is the more apparent. But it is to he inspected of something further than this, ted that is to head off any attempt at tariff led action. He lays the stress on internal tevenue by the antithesis of free whisky •ad adequate coast defense. But there is little danger of free whisky. The tariff Ji the part of the revenue marked for nvision and it is sought here, we think, to raise a cloud of suspicion in true Tildenian •tyle, that revision of the tariff means, nec•emriiy, revenue reduction. As a matter of Wot it doesn’t. A tariff for revenue could be made to yield more revenue than a tariff for protection can. It ia to be hoped the democrats in Cougrees will not be humhugged by the Fox of Greystone. There |a another effect of his letter—moral: The ineulcation of the notion that he is the real President, ao fiur as party-leadership is boaad up ia the presidency. He sent his admonition to the President not to trust himself to the people of the oonntry but to stay in the White Hoorn. Following this, the President Is handicapped with the contempt offcoward)m.

The Presidential Succession. A witty Frenchman onee described Raima as "a despotism modified by asmasMutioa." Very recent occurrence* may leave to saecastic wits the suggestion that oar Government is a republic modified by extraneous agencies a* little adapted to maintain the spirit of it. The fear of an obstruction of national policy by the mistake of a railway engineer, or the unforeseen opening of a ■witch, was not the only fear that interfered with the President’s original determination to attend the faneral of his associate. There was a suggestion of Booth and Gnitean ia it. A dead Vice-president in a Senate politically adverse to him and the administration he represented would have an adversary to - take his place, and that would leave but one life between the presidency and a partisan who coold at once pervert it from the course in which it had started. That chance of maintaining party ascendancy mast not be weakened. A journey of a thousand miles west might seriously weaken it by the double exposure to accident and the Russian element of political changes. So Mr. Cleveland did not come, and so we have multiplied suggestions as to the best way of preserving the ascendancy of a party daring the foar years of its constitutional claim to ascendancy. There are three of these that have figured prominently in the discussions of the last week: First, and easiest, if accepted by both parties, is the election of a President of the Senate ot the same political faith as the President. The objection to this is that no party has ever acted on it, and there has never been any occasion to make it serviceable to any administration. Furthermore, a poor little majority of about a thousand in the slum* of New York City, when scores of thousands of adverse legal voters in some of the Southern States were illegally excluded from the poll*, does not constitute an overwhelming claim to the endurance of an administration an hour beyond the chance to fairly and legally end it. 2. The plan of Hoar’s bill that the vacant presidency shall be filled, in case ot necessity, by the members of the Cabinet in a succession defined by the law. There is a good deal to commend this measure to general approval. It-is simple, complete aud final, leaving no questions of precedence or concurrence of action or uncertain approval to make it effective, and it covers all reasonable possibilities. We can hardly conceive the chance that all the officers of the Cabinet and the Vice-president can in turn be President and die in office, and at last leave an unprovided vacancy in four years. The most obvious objection that we can see to it is that during the four years there may ( come a popular revulsion which would make it wise and right to fill the Executive chair with a man of a different political faith, with a Cabinet to co-operate. But that is no insuperable objection, so long as history holds the record ot more than one administration that has had a popular and congressional majority against it during more or less of its existence. 3. It has been proposed before, but recently renewed with more urgency than before, that the Electoral College should continue in office for four years. If a vacancy in either presidential term occurs, the College shall meet within a given time and elect a successor. This is open to the same objection as the Hoar bill. A change of popular feeling may demand a change of executive political opinion with the election of a successor tp a dead President, and it would be as little likely to come through the choice of (he Electoral College as the succession of the Cabinet officers. It is further objectionable on the score of delay, expense—though that cau be but a trifle—and the chance of incom plete representations from the different States, through the death, resignation or removal of members. What we would all be best suited with would be a popular election, but that is impracticable, at least in the present condition of the laws and political organizations. The next best thing is the designation of an officer, or succession of officers, to fill the vacancy. The framers of the Constitution judged wisely in deciding that an unfinished presidential term would be best filled by the Vice-president and that there would be little need oi a provision against his vacancy There has been but little need. And there has never been a case of president pro tem. of the Senate reaching the executive chair by constitutional succession. Still, it is well to provide for the chance in a better way

than that existing.

The Retort Uncnurteous.

[Buffalo Express, i

A Cleveland clergyman who used to preach in Buffalo thinks it a terrible indictment against the theater that—as he says—"vice is no drawbrack to the popularity of the actor. When Joseph Emmet became known as a confirmed drunkard he drew twice the audiences he had before.” Verily, brother, and when Parson Downs, of Boston, became notorious as a convicted adulterer bis congregation quadrupled in sixe.

ABOUT BURGLARS.

How the Work is Done in the Second Story. [Boston Herald.] Every suburban resident should take extra precaution to protect hi* house from invasion. He can do this much better, perhaps, when he knows how the criminals work. Nine time* oat often the fellow* are what are known as "second-story workers.” There is a class of men who rob and plunder only in this way, and it takes but little experience or-ability to be an expert worker. All that is necesMtry is the employment of a little caution and plenty ot boldness. The easiest of valuables to carry and dispose of are watches, rings andjewelry. They do not encumber the person, and property worth thousands ot dollars can be putin one'spocket with ease. For these and other reasons second-story work is popular with professional thieves. Generally, jewelry, valuables and money are kept in sleeping room*, which are commonly in the second-story ot houses. The thief generallv spends a day or night in “spotting” a residence, and sometimes longer. He ascertains the location of the sleeping rooms, and picks out the one occupied by the owner, for be does not care to waste time in the servants’ quarters, where he is only likely to get some plated jewelry and a few dollars.

room or parlor. If the tamily has company so much the better for the thief. Secondstory men always work in pairs. IVheu all is ready, one goes on watch while the other enters the house. How this is done depends largely upon the architecture of the house. If there is a balcony so much the better. They are as skillful at climbing as a cat, aud it is no trouble for them to scale the side of the house by means of the gutter-pipe, lightning rod or trellis. Very often a ladder can be found leaning against some fruit tree iu the garden, and this is at once brought into requisition. If the window should hap]>eu to be locked, a thin-bladed knife, like a puttyknife, is inserted between the sashes and the catch pushed hack. If it cannot be done in this way, a jimmy is used successfully. The window is found unlocked about haif the time, for most people have an idea that burglars can not get up so high. AU this is done under cover of darkness. Once inside the burglar secures as much proper ty as possible, and as quickly as possible. He carries a pair of nippers and a few skeleton keys, in case he finds any of the doors locked. He takes pains to see if there is a key in the room he first gains entrance. If not he places a chair near the door. Should he bear any one coming up the stairs he rushes into this room, either locks the door or puts the chair against it, with the back under the handle, and while they are trying to get in he is out of.the window ami down to the ground, aud oft' with bis booty. Second-story workers have been known to carry a rope with a hook. This is thrown until it catches on the balccnv, when an ascent is easily made hand over band. With few exceptions the occupants know nothing ot tifeir loss until they go to bed or anlil morning, hours after the robbery was committed. The burglar rarely leaves a clew, and the robbery is considered a mjsiery. Quite often the servants are suspected. Usually, this class of thieves does not touch silverware, as it is cumbersome to carry and difficult to dispose of. Sometimes the thieves take it, however, when tiie family is away. This kind of burglary has proved so successful that the masked burglar, revolver in hand, who demands your valuables, on pain of death, has almost disappeared. A great many suburban residents place a great deal of dependence upon the family dog. It is an easy matter to dispose of the dog with a little poison or by the use of chloroform. A curious dog will generally stop long enough to eat poisoned meat or smeil of a sponge soaked with chloroform, aud that is the last of him. Complaints have recently been heard in unusually large numbers of dogs being poisoned in neighboring towns and eities. Possibly they were “doctored” by the burglars preparatory to euteriug the houses a few days later. Mr. Beecher Silenced. Judge Tourgee tells of a certain time when he and Henry Ward Beecher were stopping at the same hotel in Cleveland. He was to lecture there, says the Judge, the next night, and chanced to room right across the hai. from me. Sam Payne was a reporter on the Press. He was a green-looking country boy, who hadn’t been on the paper long, anil about os rough and uncouth-looking citizen as you could well find. Sam went up to interview Beecher. My door, says Judge Tourgee, was partly open, and I saw him go up to Beecher’s door and knock. When the reverend gentleman opened the door, Payne presented his card. Heury Ward glanced at it, and said querulously: “No, I can’t be interviewed. I am tired and busy, and can not be annoyed with any interviewing.” The reporter looked at him a moment, and replied with dignity: “Well, Mr. Beecher, I didn’t want to interview you. I heard that you were in town, and knew that you would feel hurt if a gentleman of my prominence didn’t call as a matter of courtesy.” Then, with an elaborate bow, he walked away. Beecher didn’t say a word, but stood and watched him until he went out of sight. A Gold Mine in Rhode Island. New England farmers never tire in looking for gold in their rocky pastures. A promising mine has just been opened on the farm of William Mott, near Slocumville, iu a wild part of Wastern Rhode Island. The rock is said to assay $175 to the ton, and the gravel veins $75 to $80. There ore three veins, one of which has been traced threequarters of a mile, extending southwesterly beyond Slocumville, and there are pockets in which the ore assays as high os$2(M) a ton. Machinery is being put in, and mining on an extensive scale is to be begun within a few days. It is called the "Doughnut Hill” Mine. Toting Woman. Consider!
