Szxatop. YoonnxEs will arrive ia the city text Monday. The organs have grown significantly silent Da the St. John "bribery" question. Some one might interview Mr. Elkins and others of the National Republican Committee. Liectesaxt Goverxob Massox is proving a graceful presiding efficer. The Senator j to a man respect the old hero, who is as patriotic in peace ai he was gallant in war. Tin funeral services of tho wife of Justice Stanley Matthwa will be held in Washing t:n 10-day. The interment, however, will take p'ace at Sprieß Grove Cemetery, near Cincinnati. It is laid that Mrs. Logan received a telegram from Springfield, HL, on the 19th that her husbard's chances for the Senatorship hal vanished. The General seems to be in liard luck. He might help Blaine finish his second volume Theri is no economy in curtailing the accommodations of tha insane, blind and ieeblej folk. Let tho State give them abundance of room, food and raiment. Let the appropriations be generous without being extravagant, and then let the Republican organs howl. Over in England Kdmond Yates, editor of London Truth, is to repose in jail four mouths for taking the name of a lord in vain. The British people will some day learn that the average titled English snob is sot the Lord referred to in the Third Commandment. Lot Wright was at fault in orzanlzln? the Jorce of Unitea States Marhals. He ousht to have had more fighting men at the polls. There were lour wards la which the Marshai should have 1 en stronger and quicker to resent brutal iatuits. Commercial Gazette. Where were the ten "United States Mar ahab" who were colonized from Indianapolis when the tug of battle was on? Mb. Cleveland has no intimate friends, and never had any, some one sat s. This might be received as a recommendation or not. If friends have a good influence over a man the more the better. When a man reaches the Presidency, however, it is not a good time to select "intimate friends." One can cot try their "adoption," as Shakspeare pits it. Osr Mr. John B. Finch, ef Boston, evidently studied with care certain interrogatories which Judge David Turpie. the Sentinel's leading attorney, propounded to Candidate Blaine a few months since. Mr. Tinch comes at Mr. Clarkson, of Iowa, with the same jackscrew process, doing up that Republican maligner of John P. St. John something as Blaine was done up. For particulars see an other column. People have aot been runnln? around asking who this rcan Kvarts Is. who has been elertel to the& nateof the United States by the State of I'ew York. Commercial Gazette. . The people are well posted on all who had a hand in the swindle of 1S7G, .or who accepted the fruits of it. He was in the Hayes Cabinet. That is the rea30u that "people have not been running around asking who this man Evarts is." Send Hayes to the Senate from Ohio and no one will be "running around" asking who he is. Hayes, liowever, is gathering some reputation as a hen fancier. That may mix things in the poultry market. More rumors from Albany continue to agitate the political atmosphere. The Hon. Sieker has been to see Mr. Cleveland, and the Washington Critic says: 'Mr. Tucker Is reported to have said that Mr. Cleveland does not feel kindly toward the McLean element of the Ohio Democracy, but, on the contrary, expressed himself In very emphatic language concerning the attitude of the Cincinnati Enquirer in the early stages of the campaign." If this is true, it would seem to explode the idea that Editor McLean is going to have much to do with the .formation ol the Cabinet. A Washington dispatch says that Senator Garland had been called to another conference at Albany. He left Washington quietly Tuesday, and it was given out that he had gone to Arkansas; but it Is stated by those who pretend to know that he went direct to Albany. The Star remarks, in connection with the same, that Senators are discussing the matter pretty freely, and express surprise at the Arkansas Senator being called again so soon after a conference which It is supposed resulted in his being offered a Cabinet place. Borne say that ther have observed that Mr. Garland has been quietly getting the views of some ef the leading democrats since his first conference with Mr. Cleveland, and speculating upon this circumstance, they suggest.that the Senator

hu been taken into Mr. Cleveland's confidence, and Ij being consulted with regard ta the construction of tha Cabinet.

RECOMMENDED BY A REPUBLICAN. General John B Gordon, of Georgia, is advanced by the New York Times for a place in President Cleveland's Cabinet. The Time3 quotes an Eastern Republican as saying he wondered that a man bo e3timable, so competent and so consistently progressive from the day he surrendered as a soldier of the Confederacy, was not brought forward by the leading Southern men who could command the attention of Mr. Cleveland. John B. Gordon, next to Robert E. L?e and "Stonewall" Jackson, was the most admired by the South of all the Confederate Generals. He was, also, one of the mc3t respected by the Federal soldiery. His methods of warfare were entirely legitimatevery different from there of tha guerralla Mosby and Chalmer?, of Missterippi, both of whom have been so warmly welcomed ai patriots by the Republican party. Since the war Gordon has made no small contributions toward securing a correct understanding, one of the other, between tbe sections. While always demonstrating earne3t aflection for the South, he has been a liberalizing factor within it. At home he has inculcated forgetful nesi of the strife In which he was so conspicuous a figure, loyalty to our National flag and good will toward the North. At the North, where business and social connections have caused him to spend much of his time, he has plead for tie dropping of sectional animosity and sought to transfer Northern energy end capital into the great resources of the Soath. A hearty, brainy, manly, eloquent fellow, hp fcni m p i Tres' r.t frIon! mon- fil ing Republicans and Democrat.?, aad it I i3 doubtful if there is one Senator with whom he served who would not look with approval upon the recognition of him by the Democratic administration. A DEAD DEMAGOGICAL DICKER. When Mr. Eli J. Ritter, answering a question two weeks since remarked, "the Prohibitionists expect from the Damocraticjost what they would havo expected from a Republican Legislature nothing," he uttered, intentionally or unintentionally, a scathing denunciation ct Republican pretenses in the late campaign. The plank in the State Republican platform favoring the calling of a Constitutional Convention was a "sop thrown to Cerberus." The Republicans dared not put in a prohibition plank, but with numerous oggles and winks at the Prohibitionists, of whom they were mortally afraid, Inserted tho other. They had no more intention of allowing prohibition to ride into an amended Constitution than of washing and ironing the "bloody shirt." It was a cheep trick of demagogy which the Prohibitionists were not slow to detect, and so were not caught by it. The representatives of the people echoed the popular voice &9 it spoke on the 4th of November when they voted down the proposition to hold a Constitutional Convention. That question was a direct isaue in the campaign of 1S34. One party opposed, the other advocated the convention. The party opposing it was preferred at the polls by a decisive majority. Along with Messrs. Blaine, Calkins and the bloody shirt went down the proposition for the convention. The Frohibiticnists did not care for it if it was to be holden under Republican auspices. With the Republicans the movement was only a demagogical dicker, which deserved to die. ENORMOUS PROFITS. A very bad memory serves a good part t j seme people. It requires a very Bhrowd lawyer to meet the iequirements of witnessis with treacherous memories. After a very bad memory, for utility under certain circumstances, comes the convenient memory one that can remember or not, as the exegencies of the occasion demand. Such au one seems to be in the possession of Mr. C. P. Huntington. The New York Herald gives as an example cf Mr. Huntington's forgetfuln ess that when on the witness stand last Wednesday, he could not state within $20,000,000 what were his profits in the Central Pacific He admitted finally that they were less than $5,000,009. The Herald declares that his share of the profits was in the neighborhood of 11,000,000. It reasons thus. There were four in the syndicate, of which Mr. Huntington was one. This syndicate put into the road 1,000.000. They have drawn already "$105,000,000 in Btocks, bonds, dividends and similar forms, and from the other enterprises to which the Central Picific served as a stepping stone this syndicate hopes to bag another 105,000,000 trofits." If Mr. Huntington was entitled to onefourth cf the profits, he drew more than 11,000,000. Such gigantic operations were never possible until the Republican party began to shape the legislation of the country. We merely refer to this to soothe the feelings of certain reputable members of the Republican party who may perchance continue to mourn over the November defeat of the "grand old party." THB TWO BEUOBD3. Governor Gray has made a record la favor ol the violation of the law. It will retarn to plague bim before the expiration of Me term ol office. Journal. Governor Porter's record was not simply favor of the violation of the law," bat one that absolutely violated it. It has returned to plague him at the expiration of his term of office. The law made it obligatory upon him to investigate the condition of the State Treasury. He was in official position to pursue this plain provision of the law, and absolutely never made an attempt in the direction indicated. At the end of his term of office, with his party broken and demoralized, when necessary to garner party capital for future campaigns, he suggests to the Legislature that the State Treasury neads lookirg Into, and thu lift the load from him, and force other?, if possible, t9 perform

a duty which the law made obligatory upon him. This course at once arousa3 suspicion on a sensitive point. He is promptly seconded by the Republican organs, and to distract attention and to mix matters more thoroughly some flimsy nonsensical Insinutions are made on our new Governor at tha very outset of his administration.

Sznatoc Foulke verified oa yesterday the characterization of his friends that he is at times a subtle humorist. Referring to his having refused to vote for Blaine, he avowed that he had never been reproached tlierefor by his Republican friends, and thus argued the Republican party as being so liberal a3 to approve utter independence on the part o! its rasrnber?. Shades of Horace Greeley and Charles Sumner, what a bit of irony was that! With what grim smiles would George William Curtis, Henry Ward ßeecher, Carl Schurz, John T. SL John, John T. Dye, Lindley Yin. ton, LuciU3 B. Swift, and our colored Republicans. Messr?. Harrison, Carter and Hill, have listened to Mr. Foulie's speech! Yerily the Senator from Wayne haj an ironical tongue. Tuehi must be a good deal after all in the boasticg of cur brothers dovrn South over the rfcsourced of tbat section. It wa3 difficult for Tennsjlvania to believe, for a long while, the fabulous s:crie3 of richer coä! and iron beds than she had under Randallite prutociion. But no comes the fjuppierrent&l dL-csvtjry of keroKna oil. According to th Atlanta Constitution a loiig abandoned wll in Maco.i Lai jcui bcea found to be flowing with this illuminating fluid. Tue country tljereiroat,d is ag over tha fi-ul. With natural oil. coal, iron, fiua water power beside tho cotton fields, and so excellent a paper as the Constitution to advertise these resources of wealth, tha South should soon rich and independent. .Enforcing La. To tbe Elltor of the Sentinel: Sir The Metropolitan Police Board gave what seems to me to have been a superfluous order, viz. : "Ihat ell the lawsbe enforced." The board Is not a legislative body. It can not discriminate as to what laws should be enforced, and a direction to enforce all laws would seem to imply that there are some that have not been enforced. The construction put upon this expression of sentiment by a portion of the city pres3 is that the meaning of the board is that their declaration is not to be viewed generally, but ia intended to be a strike only at saloon-keepers, and as they are now made tha scapegoats for the attacks of small-frv politicians, who are never happy unless they are pushing liquor into politics, the police to pleasa this clas3 rush in and arrest bar-tenders and saloon owners. It i3 a great moral Question, this: chall a man sell liquor five minutes after It o'clock at night? It is far more important, according to some critics, that he should sell this liquor just a few minutes before the hour named, and the cause of temperance is much benefited by it. lean not see wherein the morals of a community are benefited by splitting hairs on these technical questions afl'ecting the time a man swallows his liquid damnation. While the guardians of our property and our rights and privileges are engaged in this business of arresting persons for technical violations of law, allow me to call their attention to constant violations of law that are not affected by matters of seconds, minutes or hours, but apply to every twenty-four hours of the day. On Meridian street the express companies blockade the street and sidewalk fronting the Union Depot all the time with trucks, barrels, kegs, boxes, etc, and one square further south a concern engaged in the handling of tallow and hides use the sidewalks, on both Meridian and South street?, as a permanent warehouse lor storing barrels of tallow, so that a lady can not pas by without soiling her dress. All of which is in direct violation of city ordinances which the police haa sworn io see enforced. Let us have all the law enforced. A. H. B. A (iood Alan Uuue. IComraunicated.l New Falestine, Ind., Jan. 2i. Benjamin Freeman, the most prominent citizen of this place, died cn the afternoon of the 21st. The j'cneral services will ba held here on Sund&y. He will be interred at Crown Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis, on Monday. Mr. Freeman was, through life, a successful man of business and leaves a considerable fortune to his family. For thirty years he has been engaged in general merchandising here and at Fountain town, Ind., and has alto been an extensive stock and rrain raiser. He was born in Butler County, Ohio, October 12, ls27, at two years of age, with his parent?, moved to Marion County, Indiana, where he remained up to tbe age of twenty-seven, when he came to New Palestine, where he has since resided and been honored as one of the first citizens of Hancock County. He was married :in ;iS53 to Mary A. Maple, of Rush County, who, with their f our children, survive bim. Mr. Freeman enjoyed good health until November last, when he wa3 attacked with paralysis of the brain, from which, though receiving the best medical attention, he'never recovered. Ernst H. Fact. LIBOR AXÜ TR1DE. The CuttioffDown of the Erie Road to the Standard Uaage Will Olve Employment to Many.' PortJebvis, N. J., Jan. 23. The Erie Railroad will begin oa Monday to take up the third rail on the Hoaesdale branch. This is preliminary to taking it up the entire length of the road, thus using only the standard gauge cn the Delaware branch. The construction of forty locomotives will be necessary, and the machine shops at Susquehanna were put on fall time yesterday. Three hundred additional men will be pat on in a abort time. There is a probability that many man will bs employed ail t long the road, which will give a boom to tne entire country through, which the road nasses, now almost prostrated by the dull busibes of tha road. The Glaes Murines. Pittsburg, Jan. 23. The depression in the window glass business, it is claimed by manulacturers, will necessitate a redaction ia the scale of waes for next year, and the probabilities are that a suspension will ba ordered from April 1, which, inclulin ths two two months shut-down for the summer, willclcse the factories until September 1, when the ne seals will gointD effect.

are entertained by some that a striks will ba the result, but manufacturers do not expect any trouble, Great Demand for Locomotives. HaiENECTADY, N. Y Jan. 23.

Yesterday afternoon the jury which had been listening for several days to the trial of the suit of Henry C. French against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company retired to deliberate. As no agreement was reached before nightfall they were left in the Court-room in charge of Officer McKenny. At 3 o'clock this morning an unusual noise occurring inside, the omcer opened the door and immediately one of the jurymen rushed at him brandishing a pair ol scissors.

Medical Student Arrested for Stealing Pub lie Library Itooks-Among ThemAnIn. fernal Machine and Dynamite Cartridges Were Foard. Chicago, Jan. 23 A young man, whose real name is Otto Funk, was arrested last night for having in his possession a large number of books stolen from the Public Library. The boots were seized at his residence, which was found in lare boxes. These boxes were removed to the City Hall building to-day, when the discovery wai made tbat among them were six or eight infernal machines, containing dynamite, one of which was sufficient to blow up the entire building. Consternation reigned at police headquarters when the discovery was made, and a number of startling rumors were at once put afloat. Funk, when questioned, said he was only experimenting. The matter is still a mystery. The bor found among the stolen books wrs a foot long and six inches deep. Inside of it was a lot of sawdust packed about a revolver.
