THE INDIANAPOLIS DAILY SKNTINEL V KDNKSRAY MORNING MA11CK 18 1885. t

WKPNF8DAY, MAIICH K Urrieri 11 nl IS Wt Mark! Btreet.

Hi iii license, after a trial, has been ln t!cned at Hhelbyvllle. III. The latest Pepublican lie is that Hendricks and Voorheet have declared war on the President. Tatcr, one cent; crisp, neat and newsy; good and growing better; worthy a place in very house and ofUce, is our young contsmporaryi the Evening Minute. What has become ot all that Im ilnary war talk which the organs Insisted ten days ago was the forerunner of complications of the new administration with fre'gn j'owers? Ma. and Mus. K. J. KriMNN, an aged couI le of Oregon, 111., died Canday after a loug tllneis, within twenty hours ot the same time. A doable faueral will be held today. Mr.. 61KAKRR Jkwrtt created a decided sensation in the House yesterday by reading the members a lecture. A resolution censuring th speaker for his criticism wes rejected by a vote of 7J nays to P.' ayes. Wi hold to the opinion, already expressed, that there will be no war between Kogl&nd and Uutsla, Neither ls in condition to eusge in It. P.ussla hai not the means, while Kngland has not tbe men. The latter hss Poudan to look after, n:t to meutlu'i Ireland and dynutnllard Knui.and Is winding cjils for dyuaailters An extradition bill has been prepared au thorizlng tbe amendment of all Hrlthhtrea ties, with a view to the surrender ot perone charged with murder, or conspiracy to murder, of any ruler, sovereign or member of any royal family, and also persons charge I with Illicit manufacture of storage of explosives. Tim report that Secretary ltayard had pre mutated a sort of proclamation or "ukase" that the employes of the State Department would not be disturbed is satd to have no foundation outside of the Imaginations of Washington correspondents. As the Deptrtment Is raid to be filled with "donation 11 zed snobs" or dudes, it looks as if "reform 'vss necestary" there. Tut? organs are very jolly over what tbey think are Indications of a runture between the friends of Messrs. Hendricks and McDonald. They are nrgin? It they say that Hr McDonald may get Senator Harrison's teat In tha Benateof 17. Now, Democrats, do you bellveva that the Pepublican organs love Mr. McDonald to the extent of giving htm Mr. Harrison's Senatorial seat? Not a bit of It. The only hope they have of savins that chair is Ini factloolal contest of the Democracv of Indiana. Uaylkm W. Hawk a le applicant for the Japan nutslon, He is entirely competent for tbe dntles. and since ha aspires to It there art thousand, ot friends of Mr. Hannah In Hooslerdom who will wish his aspirations access. And It would be a sight on which fancy could proudly dwellthat broad hat and portly Ognre disporting amongst the nimble Japt. Ily tbe time they had he.trd 1U W. In a few vocal solos the Orientals would ;bo In lore with the itar spangled Government. Yes, onr lUylesi is a good man for Minister to Japan. Tut: editorial and local departments of the Journal should get acquainted with each other. Yesterday morning the former in regulation, conventional manner objected to Mr. MUler'a appointment, as waa to be xpected, confessing Its ignorance ot the man, while the local reporters seemed to know all about nlm. One side ot the sheet thought he represented "whiiky," while the other concluded that he was an extreme temperance apcetle almost a Prohibitionist. This Illustrates the shiftless character of the objections made to Mr. Cleveland's appointments. The -'United States Blue F03k" for iss; should be in the bands of every applicant f r oülce under the National Government. It la a register of Federal ofUces and employments In each State and Territory with their sa'arles and emoluments, together with a manual of Information and instruction for psisoni desiring employment at WTashlugton or elsewhere, showing who is eligible for appoint iu en t, the mode and form of application, by whom appointments are made and controlled, the tenure of office, etc. Price seventy-five cents. Address J. H. Soule, publisher, Washington, 1. C. M11. Foulktc. the Republican leader In the Senate, is nothing if not facetious. It was bat recently that he made a speech eulogizing the liberality of the Pepublican party this In the face of the fact that a thousand or more ot hie Republican constituents were so Intolerant as to petition him to resign from the Senate, merely because he hid had the Independence to refuse to vote for James G. Blaine for President. But that piece ot Irony was hardly up to the mark of the resolution prepared by Senator Foulke on yesterday, expressing condolence with certain of his Democratic iellow-Senatcrs at their returning from Washington without appointments to offices. Condoling with Democrats, forsooth! What a bit of Irony fs that cpon tbe disbanded regiment of Republicans who will now begin dotting crossdles bstween the District of Columbia and Indiana! As these latter recall Fenator Foulke's resolution ot sympathy while plodding homeward, they will mentally wonder it he ls familiar with the adage, ' Charity bpglns at home?" They will construe the Senator's lines as laughing At them In their calamity. Mr. Foalki is An able man and, barring his politics, a good

mm. Rat be muit be mor careful In aiming h'd Jckcs. Bhootlng ovor the shoulders of Democrats and hitting Republicans, at in this Instance, Ii calculated to make him disliked by hli own party specially thoie walking crcis tin from vVaahlngton.

THIS LAUT LAND OH AH. A righteous resentment ouht to Inspire the loo ming administration to Its utmost efforts to undo the latett and bildest steal of the outgoing Secretary of the Interior. Now that reform has come at last, come by the sullen consent of the thieves themselves "come to say" nothing would be more acceptable to the entire American people than the vigorous reclamation ot that land grab, an exposure of tbe wily methods of Gould and the l pertinents of our Covernment, and a puuihnientvs prompt as was the otlice-woik in that at) air. In area the size cf this land grab Is e iual to sixty one townships, sufficient for three couuties one million tour hundred thousand acres. The American people are said t ha patient, but to have their public eervant commit inch an act, then have him placidly take a seat In tho .Senate, our Senate, make a twohems' sreech of the demagogue kind, not onca denying any one of Senator Van Wyck's clear, well defined charges It '1 ask in g too much of us. When corruption, like nn octopus, hid his slimy arms around all our lawmaking and law executing departments, an Investigation was a slow hunt how not to Investigate a proKcutlon served only to dUclcse ths weak: kneed among their own confederates; i we the people, got tlted of It. Now wh want some Itürrrogahrh, loeded like grenades, fired at that fVnatot, who Is ao pleased to have a place on the Moor of the Her ate to reply In his own defense! Did you or dd you not know that thh Und grant had no pretence of being earned? Did you or did you not know that for this rearou It, along with others, was under con Ideration cf Congress by Its committees? Did you or did you uct take up this bust ness out of its regular order, and make all potilble haste to get It entirely accomplished before 12 o'clock ni., March What Intercourse personally and by correspondence did you have with parties Interested In this land grab, their agents, friends and a'torneys? It correspondence, produce It under oath that they are the genuine documents, anil all of them. No room here tor pettifogging, spreadeagle flights or tide Issues. Interrogatories are cruel but efficient. If the lnterrogatee should fled it Inexpedient to answer categorically, it Is because he cannot. If he circumambulates all about and over and under the subject, It Is because he Is a gnilty mm; and our Benate could Immediately relegate him back to his constituents. As to Mr. Gould and his associates taking quiet possession ot three counties ot land, we do not want to lee It. If he claims under decisions of the Attorney Generator any other authority, turn them ont, fill their places with Incorruptible men, who will reconsider and reverse everything that ends In a steal. Perhaps legal precedents can not be fonnd. Yrryllkelr "thisli true and 'tis a pity 'tis true," but now is the titue to make precedents, Petpnbllc plünderen be classed as public enemies and be punished like the psulclde. A BUSINESS-LUCK ADMINISTRATION. President Cleveland was no sooner well In stilled In the White House than several super-servtcrable employe wero dlsmlsiea Following ti e leid of his chief the Hscrstary of the Treasury has vacated a number of places in his depaitment. The President haa set the example of early brtakfast and a day' work. Applying tho axiom, "like master, like man," the ctllolals and employe of the Government will be found earlier and later at their tasks than heretofore and applying themselves iiioic diligently to them. This Is as It should be. Many positions held at Washington within the lato years have been nothing leu than slrecum. Favorite of "Influence" have bad an cay time of It Their pretense of work has been as specious es Colonel Mulberry Hellers' candle In tbe stove which gave onlv the appearance of heat. It Is almost certain that the weeding out proceea will be applied In all departments, the force In each being re dnced to the minimum. Government era p'oyes will not to so numerous, but the wora will be just as well done, while the ex pense will be lessened. Km ploy es will not have eo much time for Idling, but they will be mr re useful. Tho example set at Washington will be Imitated by Government offices throughout the country, and thus the ccet of operating departments will be lessened. Evidently Mr. Candidate Cleveland did not make promis of reform to the public ear to break It to the faith. As President he will prove himself the friend of the people, the tax-payers. His is to be business administration of economic ideas. Wherefore let the Nation be glad. THE CROPS. The Chicago Tribune has gathered reports from large portions ct Indiana and Illinois regarding the crops. There teems to be a general coiupluint that wheat, clover and peaches are greatly injured. From these dispatches It appears that damage to the top of the wheat plant by the alternating frosts and thaws ot the winter has been quite general in the two States mentioned, and that In Southern Indiana the injury dono has been eopeclally severe. Out ot thirty-six counties reported seventeen of Indiana and uineteen of Illinois in eleven of Indiana and la four of Illinois tho prospect for even a lair crop on the present outlook is not eocouragius. Ivght counties ot Illinois and two counties ot Indiana Clay and Johnson report that wheat has weathered the winter well. In few Instances it Is shown, however, that the frost has exposed the roots, and It If quite possible that good yrosflDK" weather in the next few weeks will materially change the prospect of the crop for tbe better. Late-sown and upland

wheat seems to have enflered more severely than (hat own early in the fall and In the kwlandf. In tome sections clover seems to have been killed out. The reach crop In all sections haa been practlralljr ruined, but apples and in; all fruits, especially strawberries, have been more fortunate. Ma. Poktmaiteu rrarjftv, of New York Citjr, hai made an efficient officer, but the Indications are that hi will be succeeded by a Democrat aa soon ai lit i commission ex plre?. A Washington telegram to the Chi(lipo Tribune cave: "Ex-Rcp tentative I.ockwood, of HulTalo, who has been here for some days, and who is on Intimate and personal friend of President Cleveland, Is of the opinion that all of the Federal offices in New York City a ill diortly he changed, Inluilin Postmaster Peamn. lie pays the President fully understands the situation of politic! In that Hate, and intends to pursue aline of policy in regard to appointment? that will unite the patty In that Flat. Pearv n'e commission expires on the Jlst, ml he bellet, i a Democrat will be appointed as his snccmor." Pn us see what advantages our Republl enn fellow-citizens of Indiana have been eu Joylbfi over their Democratic brethren these late years. Located within tho State are over '00 appointments, ranging fron fVK) to $ 1,500 salaries and arrpatini about cduO.Ooo in anUrics per nnnum, This does not Include appointments ormployments paying lers than h:00 per annum, of which there are a treat number. The Republican boy within tho S ate have been fattening on pr.hsh!y $7.'().000 a year, while mtny have hrr at. Wathlfutton and some bro.i t. Thea salaries changing Into Democratic band must hurt the fee lim) of tho ltojmb Hcur... They have our sympathies.

The ;hy and wherefore of Mr. McDonald' visit to Washington lo diversely eel forth by sj eclals from that city. He is there: 1lJicaufce President Clevoland re-ine-tel his presence. 'J On his own motion to counsel the President. To secure a foreign mission. I Meielf to form Mr. Cleveland's acquaintance. . To Rive tho Vice President a black eye. On business fur McDonald, Duller A M son. 7 To seek control of Indiana patronage. 1 1 We can Inform our confused contemporaries that tho sixth of the above series Is the sole canse of Mr. McDonald's visit, thonh he stated beforo leaving that he should do himself tho pleasure of calling upon Mr. Cleveland, whom he had never met. The other alignments of tho series miyboset down six O's. CLEVELAND'S A I) tt IMS TK ATI 0 X illuts As to Its Character and folic, Special to tlio Ben Unci. Waxiiinuton, Maren 17. There Is nothing very vigorous In any direction anticipated if this administration for some time at least. Ever j thing Is lo be done cautiously and after mature deliberation, yet It Is to partake more of life than the one which has just dl'apmrtd. A gentleman In doio relation ship with a Cublnet officer, seid on the subject this afternoon! "Mr. Cleveland's aversion J an administration lUCll as we have mt had, and ho f.nds many things l crltle and cbanse. The changes will tfin soon. Ho will not be brash, and counsels cantlon In everything. He thinks this countrv has not con tended as It should for foreign trade, and that the United States agents abroad nave been detelict of duty, in that they have not tinrted ibfimelYCj to lucrenso tho demand! for ami salts of Amerioan products. At a Cabinet meeting the other day he r.iM the Coniuls, Ministers and agents abroad sew.n to think they were sent for no purpose, and It Mead of Increasing our exports they had Hi fend them to decreaio." ' What will be done?" 'There will be a series of orders Issued, In lerult d to stir these fellows np to what they should do. They will be told that they mint wotk for this Government like they would for private parties, and not wait for people to come to them. Then there will be ho me idepa taken to have such legislation enacted as will help along trade and Indus tries everywhere, I have an anxiety to a tee the President's message to Congreta next December. It will te a vipomas document and will make some original sncpestlocs. It Is my impression that this Cabinet tntends to aid the President In forcing legislation. You may Icok, at any rate, for more attention to be I aid to future niewages than has been given noma cf those in the immediate past." On every hand it Ls believed that the present Cabinet will prove Itself to be a stern one, and seme unusually firm words are expected during the next s6ion ot Counts.

The daughter opened tl v door of Mr titan's room eoon after the mother lett, and being attracted by the palo rountei'ttiice of her father, went up to the bed ai d discovered that lile was extinct. A telephone mage failed to reach Mr, tStiifg at the depot, and a dlpatch was sent to tier ut Crawfotdsvllle. The deceased is about forty vars of age, and leaves two children, both of whom aro grown. Many jears ago Mr. Btagg begun the study of phonography, and was soon reckoned one of tbe lift, if not the very best, short hand re porters west of the Allegheny. He accompanied Senator Morton to Washington, and In 170 acted as short hand reporter In tbe investigations In New Orleans and other cities. He frequently wrotejfor tho pres-JIn thote days, and lie could have made h:s mark in Journalism had ho been diapoiud to outer permanently into the (MJ. Ho was a iremenCous worker, and gradually grew Into tbe habit of usIok stimulants to renew his ovrrtatked strength, or elso narcotics to snpenndurn the s'con denied him, and In December, ls'S, his condition became such to warrant his removal to the Insane asj lam, He did cot remain there many mouths, but lo was rerer entirely sane after his releate, and for the last two or three years he has been bntawreckof his former self.

Nothing was heard from him during the nip ht. and Mrs Stap;.'. not wishing to disturb his rest, did not wake him bo fore leaving heme. There ls little doubt but his death was the result of an overdose of chlo ral taken to steady his nerves, and not with tulcldal Intent. THE KA1LUOADM. H.e scalpers are catching a considerable amount ol New Orleans business at reduced rates. Tbe impression prevails that the I. It., and W. will endeavor to leasa the shops of the Indianapolis. Decatur and Sprlngtleld lload, west cf the river. The new steel rails recently purchased by Euperintendent Hill, of the Yundallu, for renewals on that road are already beginning tojfulve. They will be laid next month In all probability. b'everal of the Western reads are already beginning to cut dawn tbelr Traveling PaEsenper Agent force, and a local railroad man Is of the opinion that within the next few years this cilice will be entirely abolished The Traveling raiscgsr Agents themselves do not agree with him. however, and say that tbey could not be dispensed with. Many ot tLcm claim that a railroad that doeti not employ traveling passenger men can not earn even operating expenses. Auofhclal of tho 0., I., SU L. and C. says that tbe business cf the Columbus, Hopeacd fJreenvburg Kcad is increasing rapidly, and that it is cow one of the best paying little read's in the State.

AN AUCM'ANCK OK CKNHt'RK, Fpeaker Jewett commented on the action of the Houec yesterday, by which much valuable tlrce had been lost, and took occasion to say that tbe failure of the House to proceed promptly with business had been the subject of much remark, and If this order of things was continued tbe body would become ridiculous In the eyes of the public. He re ferred to the fact that the House was without a quorum on Monday, and closed by urging tie members to discharge their duty. At tbe cor dualen of his remarks Representative Patten Introduced the following resolution: liefolred. That the Speaker li not prlrllcpM in bis crlllclums upon the members oil ri 1 1 Home, sm it Ii not the province or duty of tho prcsldlug oflh-er to formulate policies or dictate tho conduct ot inciuU-r, or Impair tho dignity of tho chair by delivering curtain lectures therefrom upon tbe conduct of tbe members. This was followed by a motion by Mr. Peeves to reject the resolution, und this was done by a vote of 72 to 12, tbo&o voting in the negative, for the purpose of censoring tbe 6t caker, being Messrs. Adam, lloyd, Ditten-ore, Ilawortb, Jameson, Kell ion, Lloyd, McClelland, Mcllenry, McMichasl, Patten and Taylor. IJ7 this time tin feeling ran pretty high, and Mr. Eogle introduced a rcrolntiou cersurlng Mr. Pa tic a for censuring the Speaker, but this was finally withdrawn, nr-ou the urgent request of the latter. Mr. Patten, however, demanded that It be put to a vote, declaring that if another Lea. Jo the mover voted for it he would resign bis sent. With this the breeze blew over, ard tratquillty reigned throughout the legislative hall. .i: bso 1. vino a; a I. vst ;o.u:. John M. Ooar, Trustee of the 83ldlers Orphans' Home and Asylum for Feeble Minded Children, and who has lately been a subject of legislative investigation, was on the fbor of tbe House yesterday, his presence stirring up tbe Solons to en extent rarely if ever before witnessed in tbe Indiana General Assembly. As eoon as the eye of Representative Corelend fell upon Mr. Goar, he wroe and sent up to the .Speaker's deak the following resolution: Whereas, John M. Ooar, present Trubeof the Soldiers Orphans' Uom. has boon guilty of the rtiosi CatDiilng and outrageous conduct toward the Oeccescd toldler&aud lumatcs of said lu-ututlon: sod.

Hr. (ioar wes standing just Inside the door when the reading of the resolution begun, but he disppeared before it was finished. Mr. Ditternore moved to lay the resolution on the table, but this was defeated by a vote of 7 to 10, and the resolution was then parsed by a unanimous vote. Mr. Loyd then mored to suspend the rules snd order of businecs and take np the Knlghtitown House bill. Ho said that he understood that Superintendent White was
