MA35IKG is in his office by 9 o'clock in the morning. If he is a "boss" ho is an early one. It was reported yesterday hi Washington that Dick Bright would be appointed Go? crnmsnt Trinw. The republicans r;f the House refased eleven times to permit the Appropriation Jill to be taken np. Mrs. Caldwell, nearly 100 years old, the oldest person In Rush County, died yesterday.

To the Republican Representatives: Sirs, "Which did you vote for an extra session or io leave the charitable Institutions of the 5Ute without appropriations for two years? Oi:: "Washington correspondent telegraphs Us that Mr. Btockalager is bsing urged for Second Comptroller of the Treasury Depart jnent, and not First, as stated Yesterday. lie also says that young Will English is not an applicant for any position. The State Department at Washington, feays a correspondent, is the headquarters of n set of "denationalized snobs.'- He suggests lhat Mr. Bayard fill the department with Americans. A "denationalized snob" must he something of a dude. Will the organs tell why the House lie i cbltcans voted us a npit against taking up the Appropriation bills? If they wanted no extra session did they want work stopped on the much needed additional insane asylums? Did they want the insane, the blind and the deaf turned out ot their asylums? Did they want the 8tate aid universities closed? Did they want millions to accumulate in the 8tate Treasury and idly lie there? The selection of Judge I'adwallader, one of the Mue-bloods of rhlladclphia. for First Asslstaut fceeretary of State will rejoice the hearts of all troo l Democrats. It Is almost as cncorlul as tbe news of the selection of Kudicott for the War De part meat. Commercial Gazette. Yes, you might have added that Cadwal lader had a cousin in the Grant administration. When yoa get a vein of blue-blood from England pics a Republican administration joa have reached the ultima thule ot that sort of thing, and should be ready to anticipate tho angel Gabriel at any time. A Washington special to the CourierJournal says that Senator Voorhees will recommend the following Indiana appointments: United States Marshal for Indiana, !Mr. Edward Hawkins, of Laporte; District Attorney, Hon. John E. Lamb, of Terrc llante; Tension Agent, Colonel Charles Zollinger, of Fort Wayne; Collector of the Indianapolis District, Hon. Eb. Henderson; Collector of the Terre Haute District, Hon. O. r. Davis; Collector of the Kokomo District, Oscar Henderson. The same dispatch also states that the Commissioner of the Land OiUce will be given to an Indianian. Mr. Hayep, who filled the Presidential chair during the terra to which Mr. Tilden wis elected, tad a claim before the last Congress amounting to nearly $1,000. He sent a commotion to Louisiana on a per sonal errand to consummate the bargain by which he became President and certain par lies obtained potseision of the State Govern snents of three Southern states. For eight years the claim hat been defeated, but it slipped through this time tacked on to one ot the appropriation bills. Thus Mr. Hayes gets his money back, and the great fraud of '70 Hits momentarily through the gossip of the times once more. That $ 4,000 brought 2dr. Hayes from his retreat. An incident occurred Sunday night in Tans, at the Winter Circus, which was thought Important enough to be wired by cable to the New York Herald. As Williams, the celebrated lion tan:. er, was putting eight lions through various leaping tricks In their cage, one of the lions, a lar e male, bounded on Williams from behind rind seized him by the fleshy part of the bark" and by the thighs. A terrible slrugg'e followed between ra m and beait. The spectators, shrieking with alarm, broke into the ring. Women and children fainted from lrigbt. Suddenly the lion relaxed his hold of Williams and crouched to make a final spring at his victim's throat; but Williams, with extraor dlnary dexterity, managed to elude the att ick of the infuriated beast and escaped from the cage. He fell unconscious Imme-

diately, covered with blood, In the arms ot tbe excited spectators. His wounds are very eevere.

Come to think of it, the House Republicans may not have intended either to compel an extra sess'on nor to defeat the appropriation bills. Who knows now the innocents bat they may have thought the bill would hatch itself into a law if it were left toset? What a lot ot old hens the House Republicans most be! "WELL DONE. Now this lcoks handsome. Our esteemed, charming and distinguished, but highly inflammatory contemporary, the Chicago Tribune, in a heading over its inauguration dispatches on Thursday morning the 5th, had the following:: TItZ FBI END OK THE WIDOW AMD TUE FAT II ET.LESS INAUGURATED PKE3IDEXT, An Eastern Republican paper promptly took the Tribune to task, commenting upon the head-lines as a gratnitons insult to the Chief Magistrate cf the United States and also urged the Tribune management to prevent such exhlbi ions in the future. The Tribune in answer rises promptly and handsomely to the reqairements of the occasion in the following editorial comments: "It ought to be unnecessary to say that the head lire referred to were not authorized norapproved of Ly ihe edltor-ln-clilef or the management of the Tribune, and would not have appeared in print tMt for the temporary absence or tho latter fiom tbe city. Mr. Cleveland's private aff.irs during the late campaign are no longer proper subjects of public discussion: his inden retions were condoned by the vote that made him President, fco fa as tit. Cleveland's past life is concerned, tbe Tribune hts nothiri? more to say: wo nre cSiielly Interested iu bis conduct as Chief Maeistrata of this nation. He is the President of all Republicans an well as of all bemoerats. and. until he does something to forfeit it, he is entitled to the respect which belongs tr his sreat oilice, if not hiucself." THE BIG STEAL. A discussions of the big land steal of the last Republican administration is gradually foreleg its way into tho newspapers. The New York Times gives Mr. Teller the follow ing sprightly left-hander: "Senator Teller is quite right the resolution of inquiry into the issue of patents confirming the Back bone grant is a reflection upon his motives as Secretary of the Interior. It is such a resolution as would stieg an honest Federal ohicer to the quick. But Mr. Teller can not properly call the introduction of the resolution an impertinence. On the contrary, the issue cf the patents i3 a very proper substitute for inquiry, and we hope tbe inquiry will be searching. The ex Secretary will gain nothing by denouncing Mr. Yan Wyck as a 'special champion of the laboring classes and of the downtrodden people of this country, and as the special opponent of the corporations.' Such language suggests too vividly for his good a comparison of his own oflicial record toward the laboring classes and the corporations with that of the Senator from Nebraska. We are unable to reconc lie Mr. Teller's professions of eagerness for the investigation to go on with his abuse of the author of the resolution. Does he really want the daylight in upon the issue of the patents, or is there something hidden which makes him fear the light?" SPECIAL SESSION. We think every candid person will admit that sixty-one days biennially is too short a time to do the legislative work for a great State like Indiana. The Legislature of Ohio eits annually, and the tensions lasts from four to five months. There is not a State in the Union that has as short legislative sessions as Indiana unless it is tome small Western State like Oregon. Special sessions have been called by nearly every Governor. Governor Baker called two, Hendricks, Williams and Porter each called special sessions. The situation now and two years ago is very different. This time not only the general and specific appropriation bills were not patted, but the Knightstown bill and the bill making provision for continuing the ccnitrnction of the State house and other important rneesnre were unacted. The Statehouse bill alone made a special ssssion a necessity. To stop the work on tho Btate-bouse would have complicated matters to far as the contract with the state for its construction Is concerned, that it might have resulted in a less of hundreds of thousands ot dollars to the people of the State. The Governor could not exercise any discretion about it tbe situation compelled an extra session; besides, as the Governor lays in his proclamation, "This thirg ct tbe State oilleers diibnrsing the public monevs and running the State government without tbe authority of law, Is a dangerous practice and bad In precedent,' and if to be continued, the Legislature migh jnst as well be dispensed with. We do not think the people of Indiana are yet willing to surrender their constitutional right, through their representatives, to control the government of the State, and say bow and in what manner the pnblic moneys shall be expended. Many people who think the special session ought not to have been called do not understand the Situation. A HALT SUOQESTED. The Journal continues by rather coarse innuendo to reflect upon Rev. W. A. llartlett, formerly pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, this city, now of the New York Avenne Church, Washington, the church In which President Cleveland intends to worship. The service in his church last Sunday was particularly interesting, the pattor preaching one of his mcst eloquent and brilliant sermons, and the attendance was unusually large, partly owing to the fact that the new President was expected to attend, but he did not. These facts are made the occasion to ridicule and unjustly criticite the church ana the reveresd gentleman, who, if not the ablest clergyman in the country, is Intellectually grouped among them, and his hundreds of friends in this city are aibarred and mortified that any portion of the Indianapolis press should use their columns as a matter cf personal vengeancs.

The Journal has always had a 'pick" at Dr. Bartlett, and has seen proper to attack him in season and out of season. The Rsverend Doctor is a Republican and is no particular friend of the Sentinel, yet "fair play" is desirable, even if it is notour political ox that is being gored. In this connection it is well to notice the fact that some small mind in control of the Journal's columns evidently feels great responsibility to reform and rearrange matters of vast Importance in this mundane sphere. Its utterances cn all topics have the authoritative and dogmatical tone of a judicial dictcm. Neighbor, while attempting to regelate things, don't encompass the grave matters of the universe in too small a sphere, or you'll find yourself in the predicament of the fellow who "bit off more ttan he could chew." It might be a good stroke of policy on the part of the Journal to discontinue its attacks upon Dr. Bartlet'. Its course is exciting unfavorable comment.

A STRONG COMBINATION. It is gratifying indeed to note with what unanimity the Republican press of the country, almcEtwithoutexception,accordMe3srs. Bayard, Garland and Lamar the qualities of high intellectual ability, scholarly attainments and purity of character which distinguish these illustrious men. With all the criticism which has been applied to these members of President Cleveland's Cabinet, who have been in public life so long and so conspicuously, net one word has been said or written cf the integrity of their character and greatness of intellect except in praise, or at least iu acknowledgment of their superiority. That our political opponents admit thib is much; that fcuch representative men are from the South is more, and we think no better opinion can be formed of Mr. Cleveland's farsightedness and good judgment than from that displayed by him in the selection of these men from the Southern States for his Cabinet. Our President herein has done a master stroke and one that will strengthen him with the people over the whole Uijion; for while none are mere highly esteemed nor more dearly beloved in the South, cone ara more respected in the North ttan are they. What a grand stride is this toward reconciliation between two sections of our country which were engaged in deadly strife two decades agone! The bloody shirt ba3 been wived eflectnally for the laat time, Never again can that ensanguined garment do service in campaign to fire the Northern heart and engender Eectional ill-feeling. With the disappearance of the bloody shirt also fades the glory of the Republican party, and with the inauguration ot Cleveland dawns a new ero upon our country. While well known and tried men have been taken frcm the South for Cabinet positions, these from other sections of the Union were selected from the younger Democrats who have sprung up sicce the war; and although the reputation of eome of them had scarcely become national, yet are they all of good repute and not without honor in their own country, they rach and all having made a name and fame which were not confined within the borders of their respective State?. If this infusion of new life and young blood into tbe AdminMratlon be an experiment, certain it is that the Republicans look with favor and trembling upon Mr. Cleveland's selection of men ior his chief counselors, while tho Democrats rejoice and are of exceeding good cheer. A week has gone by 6ince the announcement of our new President's Cabinet. The test of public criticism has been applied, each member weighed in the balance and none found wanting. The Democratic Administration starts out well under favorable auspices, and will make for itself a record tbat will thoronghily reinstate that grand old party in the hearts of the people and the control of our National aflairs, for it will be ou the sound Democratic principle so vital to our institutions "a Government by the people, of the people, for the people." DR. TALMAOE. It is not surprising that Plymouth Church could not contain the numbers that flocked last night to its doors. The appearance of Dr. Talroage in any community in this country would border on a sensation. Who doe not know him'.' He is the one preacher with the Christian world for his congrejatlon. His ßermons are printed and distributed by newspapers throughout the United States and Canada. Twenty papers In great Urlttaln, including seven in London, print them regularly, giving him there an audience of nearly 1,000,000. A traveler through nineteen lands scattered over the globe says he found Talmoge's sermons wherever he went. A preacher for millions beyond the hearing of his pulpit. Dr. Talmsge hsj a church membership of over three thousand and a congregation averaging six thousand at the Brooklyn Tabernacle. He is net one of the prophets who is without honor in his own country. At hfs home reception room he is the recipient of deferential calls and tributes frcm thousands of his own and neighboring cities. The Monday morning papers flung in at his door report verbatim his eernions of the Sunday, which the telegraph have repeated to many papers at long distances, while scores and scores of weekly and Sanday papers print them In their next issues. It is not dillicult to trace the secret of the popularity of Dr. Talmsge's sarmons. Tfcey are so simple in language that a child can ccmprehend them. They are so ortho dox that the most rigid Christian must ap prove them. They are so brainy that the mcst intellectual lind them a feast. They :ire to picturesque in figures that the moat romantic find them delectable In reading. They are to correct in taste tbat the most critical llterattl read them with satisfaction. They are so redolent with Divine charity tbat the Divine spirit must accord them as well-done, So human is Dr. Talmage in his walk and conversation, so blameless his life, S3 just

his judgement, so winning his teaching?, that those who know him personally give him their esteem and those who only read him, their confidence and admiration. His is an imposing responsibility. No other one man of this period of tbe Nineteenth Century wields co great a moral influence over his fellows. Yet in the prime o! manhood he bids fair to continue long an influential moral factor a boon which the Sentinel wishes the Christian wcrJd shall enjoy.

TURN THE RASCALS OUT. "The Treasury Department will need a thorough overhauling," says Mr. Crawford, the observing Washington correspondent of tbe New York World, ne gives also some otter information cf rather a startling character, as follows: The Department of Justice has for nearly four years been run in tbe interests of the Attorney Central and Gcoree Bliss. Theirs was au active worting li.irtnership. Frauds of the most notorious ai;d llapran) character in the managements of the Marshals' offices of the country have teen reported to this o flics without any prosecution following except In a few petty instances. The public will renienbcr that an acent of this department found that a marshal in Pittsburg baa stolen in the wav of fees during six yciih' f ervice over S2UO.0G0. This he had invested In landed property, and never been threatened with prosecution by the department until the frtCts of his great thefts were brought out by a Congressional Investigating Committee. Even then the prosecution against him was of a perfunctory character, and has thus far resulted in nothing. The same correspondent S8ys that the Interior Derartmrnt h werte than the Treasury in its manngemect Tco:e Republicans who are jet rrgre;ir g that Mr. Cleveland defeated Mr. H'aino wi:l md the following Willi profit. The two mo.;t dishonest brv.r.Jie of tMs partTDtuti.ro the ln.i'.an ltnreau and the Lan I ilice. I l.s. e heard under cilicials iu the Indian 0:Iitc s iy tbat they proposr, now that they can bare protection, to Tcake a tlean treust of s.onieof the euorjoons frawiB that hive taiieu place In this Government fcnfiience shep durlncr t.e last ten years. The Laud Oilice Ins apparently been used as the headquarter of all tae corporations in tho couutrv who dc6ire to 6tcl the public lauds. The lulling of the patents for the P.acibone Laud Grant for which Teller was responsible, might have been prevented if there had been au honest man in the hand üßlte. Bat there has not been a tiDgle man in the entire Interior Department who has had the moral co'irase to resUn his position and protect to the public acaius the frauds that have been perpetrated in this department, particularly under the reten of the late Secretary. The men who have kept silent should be treated as active rar:cipants in tuesc wrongs. Thoe who are selected for a limited timo to manage piblic atrairs are still of tho people, and may ao muf h by their example to encouratro that plain way of living which, among their fellow-clt-ztnp, aids inicgrity and promotes thrift and proserity. The sentence above, from Mr. Cleveland's inaugural, excited favorable comment from a source that was hardly to be expected viz,, an Knglish paper the London Echo. In commentiE; upon it, the Kcho exclaims: "Hear this, ye Kings with your tawdry crowns, ye Dukes and Earls with your tinsel coronets, ye Lords of the Red chamber and Gold St'cfc8 in Waiting, with your salaries drawn from the hard earned wages and slender resources of the thrifty poor salaries paid to you for no service productive of good to the public, but only for playing the flunky and the fool! Is it not time, 0 patient English democracy, for us to open our eyes and take counsel of our wiser children? The money wasted over the pomp and pageantry of courts is spent in bolstering up the pretensions of rank and birth. Would it not be better spent iu feeding the poor and tcechini; the ignorant?" Tun Sentinel has more than once sug gested tbat with the largely increased wealth and population of Indiana, the present cession time of the. Legislature should probably be extended. The increase of National Leg islation has been steady. Speaker Carlisle said at the close of tho recent session of Congress that nearly as many bills had been introduced as in the lirst fifty years of our National existence. This increase In National legislation is kept pace with by tbat cf every such growing State as Indiana. Is it not a reasonable proposition, then, that our Legislatures nefd longer ne. felons than they did thirty ytfln. sgo? Tub Republicans in the Legislature are h?Id np ty their organs as having opposed an extra session. Still they are on record as having voted solidly and persistently against taking up the Appropriation bill in the House. If they did not want an extra session, what did they want? That there should be no uppropriatlons? l.mery A, Storrs after pronouncing Messrs. Dayard, Lamar and Garland as able men, says of the m: "They have ac cepted places Iu tho Cabinet, and they are wen ct mcb character as not to Imperil Ihn inrri.a nf t hr nil mi n lt rn t Ion rI whlih ihnr form to conspicuous a part by attempting to forco upon the country any extreme houtneru policy. 1 hnve no fears of nay extended raid uiou tno r. m . . . . ... i ..I . t . i - T .... ircHBury ior me payrnt'iiv ui ruwvi ciniui. j uu not telieve that cither the President or the Cabinet will iavor anything of the fort," Indeed! And yet it las been but a few moons since tbe come Storrs was making i'.erce "bloodv-shlrf ercechesfor Blaine and declaring the country would tro to the "demnition bow-wows,f if ex-rebels should baye any part in handling the reins of (Jov ernment. Emery A. Storrs to an Indianapolis Jour nal reporter: "I look for a complete revolution in our politics wltnln tb next two years, and in lour years lor a return el the old Kcpublican party to power," Emery A. Storrs will be remembered as the men who gyrated hlmeelf onto the Republican Convention platform, at Chicago, instanter, after the nomination, to congratulate the country on the selection of Rlatne and predicted his election by an overwhelming xnsjerity. Evidently Mr. Slorr is not a trust-worthy prophet. A Good Word for Jndg Hooding, I Communicated. 1 The colored people, and especially the colored Democrats, owe a debt of gratitude to Hon. I). L. Gooding for his able and successful eflorts topas3 the Civil Rights bill through the House on Saturdy last. With all colored people he is entitled to special rememberance, when it is remembceed that by .a xule o! the House no bill could be called up only cn a call of counties, and when Hanccck was called he substituted a bill for one of his own and allowed his bill to lie on the table. Fearing that if such a course was not pursued the Civil Rights bill could not be reached, he adopted Dr. Tbompeon's. bill as it came from the Sonata

as his own, and presented it out of the usual

order by edontine this turn. He made aa able and vigorous epeech In favor of tte bill, and put it on Its passage, and it passed unanimously, showing clearlv bis able leadership in the Mouse, ana nis power as a progressive, live Democrat, fitted for higher callings, which he richly deserves, and I hope in no far or! future the Democrats will recognize his ability, energy, hdeiity and courage, and call him to serve the people of the Stste in some higher calling, where he long since should have been When the colored people of th9 State, remembering his disinterested, but faithful service in psssmg the civil rights bill, will say. Well done, thou good and faithful; thou has served us well in a emaller State, come up higher and do more. A meeting to ratify the passaee ot the law will be held on Monday night by the colored people in city, when more will be said. UOLOHLD 1EMOCIUT. Indianapolis, March 11. THE MILII'AUY CAKMVAL. Tho Entertainment Laat Night Wit nessed by Hundreds of People "Standing: Room Only." Every street car that left the center of the city on the Massachusetts and College ave nue line, between the hours of 7 and S o'clock last night, was literally packed, and the passengers were nearly all bound for the armory. Uelore b o'clock every seat in this brillltntly-lighted and handsomely-decorated bulldiLg was occupied, and half an hour later there whs "ctanding room only," and very litteat tfctt. In fr.ct the crowd was so dense as to hinder the military companies somewhat in exicuting the various movements Accut S:.;t; o'clock the Indianapolis Light In'ari'ry n arefced into the open epace and tbe epp.'BtJj-e was long and continued. Thoy were tme'er the command of Captain Ross, and presented a splendid appearance. After an exhibition drill by the Infantry lasting lifteen minutes the Emmet Guards appeared cn the scene and executed several dillicult movements. Next came a tableau, "Joan of Arc Dattie l'rayer," that heroine bein represented by a very beautiful yonng lady with golden hair. The Indianapolis Light Artil.'wy then showed up and went throueh a sabAJdrill, finally retiring from the floor amid great applause. The remainder of the programme was taken up with two tableaux, The Attack" and "After the Battle," and drills by the Richardson Zouaves and "Uroom Brigade." The Zouaves took part in both of the tableaux, which were very picasing, being loudly applauded by the audience. The following programme will be rendered to-night: Grand concert overture Miller's Orchestra Violin fiolo Mr. M. A.

Tho subject of the lecture was "The World Growing Uetter or (Jrowing Worse?" The speaker discussed the many advantages for gaining knowledge over those which existed a half century ago, the vast improvements In means of travel, mechanics, art and in fact, everything to which the American turns his hands, lie argued that the people are cyery day becoming more and more intelligent and that they are crowing better as they grow more intelligent, and this is tree of the world at large. The lectore was a very comprehensive and instructive one and was not without many humorous references which added to its attractivenets end served to impress its teachings upon the minds of his hearers.
