Tnx Journal loaded its columns with Latin yesterday. The intimation front tbe good Bishop Chstard that it was possibly not ,,np'' in the language sent the boys scurrying through their collection of Latin quotations. The New York Tribune says that "between them, El Mahdi in the Soudan, und El I'ahdi in Ireiacd, are giving poor John Bull plenty to do." And before they are through with him they will give hira a great dial' corp. H.kc fabula docet that it will not do for an Irish Catholic to be a Republican out loud. Journal. IL'-c fabula decet that it would be a good ) thing for some Republicans if they were Irish Catholics "out loud," or quiet like either. Dcbiso the two years from April l!v2 to April 131, Ulysses Grant Jr.'a household expenses, as appears from a statement filed in court in the matter of Grant t Ward, footed up 37,70.". The youth lived high on other people's money, higher tbaa he ever will again. Sixcz the relief expedition entered th9 Soudan, General Earle ha3 ben killed, General Stewart seriously wounded, and General Gordon butchered. The only General who lias escaped uninjured is Wolseley. He may not know how to Czht Ar&i3, but he knows how to keep a whole skin. Tiik Journal seems to be preparing for a raid through the Deaf and Dumb Asylum. It has been sniffing around, and finds that the new Superintendent does not furnish fresh rolls ence a week. These are cold days, and the most acute smeller "gets left' sometimes. Give old lady Fry a chance. Mr. Mlt.at Halstead contributes to the March number of the North American review an article entitled "The Revival of Sectionalism." As the Commercial Gazette's keynote is attuned to the flap and flutter cf the blocdy shirt, its editor CAn, if he will, give much reliable inside information on "the revival of sectionalism." Let us have U by ell mears 'Lof.d, no! ' answered Sam Randall to a .Republican newspaper interviewer, "I have not been ollered the Treasury Department once; bnt I would not accept the place if it should be offered me." We believe every word of that candid speech, and for the reason that Sam Randall' a Republican protection backing will not permit him to leave the House. His is too "tüV a protection tongue to be spared from the championship of their interests. No, Sam does not want a fccretarjehip. Three n i'N rr.ED TiiorN: poi i .ar were r durin tbe past ten years la tryius to eMabiish tne Kaltitaore c;a2UC and lts&uccev-ur, the I'.iy. L'xehaaz Haw the parties to that enterprise didmifs It by not leaning en ear in this direction! We know several Democrats here in Indianapolis who, if they bo not greatly mistaken, eould have given the Baltimoreans all the needful advice for founding and conducting their paper, successfully and satisfactorily. Gentlemen about to Etart a newspaper or old journalists in doubt upon any proposition ars invited to give us a call : we guarantee to present yon to the fellows who will tell you all about it. Ix respect to our navy the New Yor World editorially remarks: "When Rill Chandler and John Roach laid their heads together and devised the new steel cruisers it was presumed that we had secured the highest art attainable in the way cf naval construction. Now Mr. Chandler reports that it will te necessary to mate a few changes in the cruisers. It will ccst i-1,00 to modify the Chicago; ;0 ro.i to make the Icton a pronounced success; $21,f:'l to make the Atlanta the terror cf the seas, and $1 ' SSO to put the Dolphin in shipshape. Thus we go on squandering money and thus we shall have no navy to show for our expenditures." We have had wife beaters, ad nauseam, for the past few years, and now a husband whipper ccmes to the front m Chicago. Her story in her own words to the Police Court is rather interesting. She is the wife ot Albion C. Cate, a prominent lawyer of Chicago. Mr.. Cate is a woman of about twenty-eight, of reünea appearanc and a pleasant voice. She said: "My husband cani9 home to tea last night and said he Lai had trouble with Mollan, the tailor, aid had shot him. He wa3 then under the influence of liquor. He said he was gr.icg out again on busines3. He returned about a quarter to 11 o'clock, very drunk, and reeled up stair?. He ha come home drunk seven or e!.-'bt times in tea years. He used indecent lanuae bifore cur seven-year old 4"?hter. I hit hira over the head with a larze umbrella which

slood in the hallway, and sent oat the hired girl for my father, whom I had notified to be near when my husband came home. He held nij huband while I hit him." Mr. Cate says, in addition to tho beating with the umbrella, she also deluged him with ccld water. Ca'e i3 a graduate of Harvard and was formerly IVoftssor of Greek la the Chicago HJsh School.

THE GElANT PENSION BILL. There are those who pretend to think the Eenutlic disgraced, jastica outraged, and ail eenie of gratitude ire z?n out of the public heart merely because the National House of Represents tives did not retire General Grant on a pension o! $1.1.000 a year during life. We do not ece that the country i3 compromised. We are not aware cf any legal or moral obligation that has beea straiEcd. We are eure that tüe peop e re cogn'ze In General Grant a commander who did much to force the restoration of the Union. Ve are sure, too, that if ever apnreciation of a favorite soldier was demonstrated by a Republic that demonstration has been at the hands of tbe pecple of the United State3 and Ulysses S. Grant the recipient of it. All of honor3 the Nation has had to bestow have been bestowed on him. Eigfit years cf the Presidency and $.j0,0C0 salary was a handsome tribnto. All that legislative and popular expre S'io 3 could effer added luster to his fame. No American , citizen ever received such wealth cf valuable personal gifts. All these were supplemented by the gratuity cf a purse of $250,000, which was invested by the trustee? of the fund so that a yearly interest of 15,000 for ten ycaTs was guaranteed. I General Grant an indigent? Does he require the additional f 15,00) a year the retirement bill contemplated to enable him to live comfortably? What manner of American is he who can not live sumptuously on an interest income of $13,000 per annum? With a home of his own should not $11 per day, the year 'round, feed bountifully, clothe hacdiomtly and provide considerable pleasure besides for an American citizen and his family? With deference to the views of those infected with the idea that nothing less than a princely endowment of General Grant through life will be doing justice by nim, we cite the fact that ours Is a Republic, and not a Government of Royalty. Oars is a people whose boast is that all men are equals before the law. If General Grant had greater responsibilities as a lo'.dier than the private soldier who fonght and won the battle, lost a limb or otherwise suffered Injury for life, he also enjoyed the commensurately greater compensation and higher honor. Admitted that Grant was a hero, bat there were a million more who fonght in the same struggle. There are thousands living to-day, and many cf them In Indiana, who were no less gallant and suffered far mor9 than did "the hero of Appomattox." We incline toward the latter heroes. The Union could have been preserved without General Grant, but it could not have been preserved without the soldiery to which we refer. We are opposed to any tendency to aping monarchical deccrations and enriching commanding Genera'3 while neglecting the heroes of the file. General Grant, himself, while President indicated a bearing to military caste when vetoing the bill for equalizing tho bounty of soldiers. Grant was a great Genera1 ; te also received great rewards. And we do not see that with an income of ?15,000 year he is in need cf any farther gratuities fr-jin the Government. If the conntryhas an extra sum of that size to distribute yearly, there are one-armed and one legged hroe', with large fatnilie?, in any Northern State, who need it worse. A CONFESSION OF CRIME. The Eham of "tho American sysfcm of pr - tecticn to American lnbor" was largely unCivered by the debüe in the United States Senate on Friday last, on tb.9 bill to prohibit the Importation cf foreign labor under contract. Sr-natot Infill?, of Kansas, radical Republican and hlh prcici;oni3t, was contpicuoas in the discuion, and, whether unwittingly or under tap stress of stricken conscience dcc3 not matter, volunteered statements which are in themselves a conviction (f criminal wrong done American wageworkers by the protection system of the Republican party. It v;a3 unon the bill to restrict or prohibit tho bringing over cf foreign labor that Sir. Inalla was moved to declare that there are .100, C00 wcrkingmen in the United States in enforced idleness, and that these, with their dependent women and children, constitute a population of 3.000,000 people, who, in thi3 rigorous winter, are suffering for the necessaries of life. This admiision, in the peculiar ;prenise3, is nothing less than an admission that the idleness of tre.e American wae workers is ch'cily dne to tte presence in tic country of imported cheap European labor. It is here, in that the sham of the claim that protection has been in the interest of American labor largely consists. In tha very hour that Eastern manufactaren have been parading this pretense they have been introducing European operatives Into their mills. For twenty years this process ha3 been steadily pursued. The enlarexent of capacity cf many Ne Enalind cotton mills ha3 often been timed to give employment to English operatives arriving under contract? made across the water. One of the largest cutlery manufactories in Connecticut was started by the management buying out an Eogliih mill and bringing over both the machinery and operatives the latter numbering over 200. And yet that same mill got ths full beniflt of "the American system cf protecti. n to American labor." Tens cf thousands cf tie w?,:e workers of tb.9 New Ecgland and Middle States are of 'creicn nativity. Birmingham, Manchester, ShttSeid and Leds have furnished within twenty years a verv large percentage of the manipulators of cotton, weel and the meta'.s now in American manufactories to the exclusion of American born workers. Take the mines, furnaces and foundries of Pennsylvania and Ohio. Ia tha very mid3t

o! the late Pre'identi&l campaign we saw thousands of hard-working miners driven out by armed force to give place to cheap contract Italian labor. The interior mines of thece States arc largely worked by similar Istor. The West Shore Railroad cut of New Ycrk was largely corstructed by Italian contract labor. Even in Indiana we had throes cf violence a few weeks since (at South Rend ) in which Italian cheap labor wes conspicuous. And yet the capitalists and monopolists employing these cheap foreign wage workers have clamored for the retention cf the Republican party in power a3 representing "the Americon system cf protection to American labor." What a a farce has this cry not been? What an oppression has not the protection system been upon American wage worken? A high tariiT has made high priced all commodities they must use. Bnt there has been no tariff upon the Importation of pauper and cheap European labor, whose competi tion has driven down the wages of American labor and forced it out of employment. And now, after Republican legislation haj brought O.COO.uGO to want, Republican Senator Ingalls rises to confess the error and propose for remedy that further importation of contract lator be etopped. Certainly the Republicans can nnv ailjrd to do that, since the'r protee'ed favorites have made a thousand millions cf nrcn&y for thertsalves ar.d starved .J COO CO) people into a condition where to Hvq they must accept the wages of European pauper labor. Such have been the rc-ults cf the American system of protection to American labor.

Stfi'uen A. Dgi ey is no gret admirer of Senator elect EY?.rLo. To a New York interviewer he said: "Young man, you are from New York. Why do you a&k me about Evarts? Think of a Conkling being put upon a back seat and a creature like Evarts being sent to the Senate. Tbe appointment of Mr. Evarts and the forgetfolness of Mr. Ccckling, who haa adorned that great Stita ith an Intellect that has never bean equaled N- anyone who has held that oilice, area disgrace to New Ycrk." Dor;ey admires shrewdness. He does not think Evßris shrewd. He yrobatly thinks every member of the Hayes Administration a blockhead; else why did it not detect Dorsey's Star Route rauds? The Secretary of the Treasury ha3 perhapi the hardest berth of all the Cabinet oiHcer?. A writer, who Is posted, says that he has an enormous amount cf drudgery. He is obliged for three Lcur at least every day to sit and merely write h'a came. He ha3 to hear arguments in appeal cases from his various bureaus, and to receive delegation after delegation representing commercial interests. The customs regulations of the country seem to te made for the purpose of harassing and annoy:ngimpcrter3 to the laot degrpe. They are constantly making appeals. The Secretary of the Treasury mint hear teem. In this way he i3 burdened with a gteat amount of work. The Liquor Oueatitm lu Congress. Effort have been made from time to time for seveial year3 to get Congicssto take some act?cn on the liqcor and temperance questions. A bill looking to that end was introduced at the present session, proposing to create a commission to inquire into the liquor traffic in relation to "its general eco nomic, criminal, moral, and scientific aspects," etc. The bil was referred to a sutcommittee, with our Congressman, Hin. Will E Er'ish, Chairman. The committee, by Mr. English, reported adversely on the bill, day before yesterday and the report was conenrred in by the Hou?e. The following ia the report: Tte r oti-r to regulate tbe retail li iuor traffic Las, fruni the foundation cf the Union, beea recarded as tie inclusive richte! the States ratber tl an cf the detitral Government.

Thirty I'enom buppesed to Have l!een Killed, and Many Others Seriously Injured. 8alt Lake, Utah, Feb. 1 Ths relief party sent to Alta to rescue, if living, and to bring back if dead, those who were killed in the recent snow slide which overwhelmed that town, returned early this morning. The relieving party had a very trying experience. In coming down the deep defiles of the mountain side, dragging the sleds on which the bodies were placed, sewen up in blankets, they were beset by deep drifts, and the whirling particles of enow dnycn betöre the howling blasts of winter in the thin mountain air pricked lite so inaoy needles. Fortunately, however, all the brve men vLo risked the fatigues and dangers ot the jonrney to save the unfortunates buried beneath tbe avalanche returned without having received serious harm. Twelve bedims were brought down the canyon in mournful procession, single rile, lathed rpon eled. Tbe first Bled bcre the bedy of Mattie Uickey, the next Timothy Madden, Jeremiah Regan, David B. Evans, James Watson; Barney Gibson and Mrs. Ford with her baby lashed to her breast. The Jan slid carried the four children of Edward Ballou. The following persons reported dead were reicaed alive: Andrew White, after being under the snow twelve hours-, slightly injured; Freierick Culanan, after being buried sixteen hours, also hurt but r ot seriously ; Mr. K ist. in a drift six honrs. Besides these, Mr. Ford, though not envered by tbe avalanche, was badly hurt. The bedy cf cno of the Chinamen was not found. Mrs. Ford, it appears, had a premonition of danger, aid begged her hn&bacd to take her and tneir child to a p'acc of safety that fatal night, saying she felt there the avalanche was coming. An inquest was held to-day and the baria's will occur to morrow. Mrs. Ballon, Mrs. Kiest, wounded; Mrs. Hewitt, Mrs. Johnson and her four children, and Hans Ohon and four children are still in Alta in constant danger. A retcce party will go oat to morrow morning, organized to bring them in. bcow. slides in that neighborhood are of dsily occurrence. One occurrtd last Saturday in Superior Gulch, which the snrvivors at Alta feel sure resulted in the death of Siinnel Pro5cott, ranger, and John White working there. Two men going there to s-ee if they vrere safe, git in sight of their cabin end tannels when they saw the snowslide start, and in an instant almo3t the cabin was obliteraten in a eea ot enow. The concession cf the slide threw them violently to the ground, and they harried away for fear of another slide. Iiis reported that a man named McDaniele, living south of Alta, was killed by a slide- on Friday night. Nothing has been seen or beard of him since. In the three slides in Alta, all of which occurred on Friday, thirty persons have been killed. Oao Warranto Salti agatuht Gould and Other Et. Loris. Mo., Feb.

Bertis, General Attorney of the Missouri Pacific, denies that the Missouri Pacidcand Wabash and Iron Mountain and Missouri, Kansa and Teiasare parallel and competing lines as aliened, and states that a cue

He also thinks the informations filed by the Attorney General are demurrable, and a demurrer will prcbably be filed in the Sapreme Court. In sny event he thinks it will be a long time before the case can be decided.
