The educiticn, exemplary as well as scholastic, determines the mental motive poer and direction in life, only in part. Education can ba aimed to develop good and repress evil tendencies, bntonly to the extent the surroundlegs and the mental organism will permit. A person with ecquhitiveness, sscrstivenss?, caution and rrane si will acquire properiy weth no tcho'av.ij education, may b8 threwd in business and have aound judgment.

Simply scholastic cdacation will be wisely used by Ocd roml?, and bad one3 will use it to gratify evil tendencies. The wiser the man with a tal mental organization the more dan serous ha is, the harder to circumvent or keep from places oi influeuce. While the right cf sufirase is too cheap and love of license (called liberty), and of personal gain, and cf individual pawer are too great, and should be lessened and limited, they are tne oulgrowth of our vsstnc33 our unlimited space and material resources. Aa we grow mora nuar erons aid j:stie each cJVter for want cf elbow-room, and our interests clash more and more, new outgrowths will bring new forces good and evil that will still maintain an equilibrium, and oar knowledge of and lovs forliberty will retain it fcr ns and maintain public order. Heaven itself locks on with astonishment to see nearly 00,000,000 of people, occupying nearly 4.000.000 of square m les, with the highest civil'zition jet attained, and no army or navy or national police worth naming; where a half million cf people can assemble on a public occision, maintain order and need no restraint. In oar progress sd far the good dominates the evil, and our progress in education, intelligence, legislative and administrative wisdom has been consistent with our surroundings. Sooner or later education will ejstematical'y bsin and practically teach how to prevent diseased and deformed humanity, phys'cii and mental, and the knowledge will go upon the statute as law to practically enf jrce it. But t must come in its order and c in not be forced. Then, and not before, thei!sot which Judge Hargis complains will b?g n to dirappear. The lobby, the iocompe'e-it Legislature, "the law's delay," are bat stations on the highway of moral and thjsical forces I icacing to a nigner level, ana necessary in their time and place as stepping stones to ch that level; while but for them greater evils wculd Lave existed. C. H. Rlsve. THE BATE OF' WAQE3. In an article referring to the labor question, the Christian Union says that the cost of subsistence determines the rate of wages. This is true so far aa the greater part of European nations are concerned, but happily it is net yet true of the wages paid to labor in the United States. Here, owing to the fact that the country is very extensive and bnt partially developed: that it Is amply capable of supporting a much larger ' population, and that free homes may still be obtained oi the public domain, waces are on the average somewhat in excess ot the cost of s absist an ce, and it is practicable, when no general business depression exists, as at present, for workiegmen to save something cr a rainy day. But this vili not last alwa)s. As the public land disappears, as the population grows larger, ind as the country becomes mere settled tha late of wcgrs will fail, and ultimately what the Union says concerning the cost of subiisteace dterminin; the recompense of labor will bs as true ot this lind as it now ia cf isome others. Bat this prediction is of cjur e hired upcn ths t::ucjpticn that in tha fitzra, cj tt
present, wealth will continue Id concentrate In the hands of the few. Something niiy cccur to prevent this, however. When toe laborirg man recsives no more fcr his work than just enough to support hirn h!3 condition is or cf slavery. Lie tfcesit live, he merely exists. I It probable thatafreoand enlightened people, such ai the Amercan laborers are, will ever permit tLenjstlvej to bs ruaie slaves? Will tley be content, fcr InsUr.ce, like their Belcian brethren are to lead lives of poverty front the cradle to tfce grave, while owing to the accident of birth or inheritance their neighbors revil in luxury? It ia scarcely credible that they will. Indeel. baf:re wrges reach such a folnt as to aiTjrd a b3rs inbjis'ccce a more general dls ributioa of wealth that will improve the conditisn cf tic lfborlrg c':a:sas is likely to ba eiTcctal by pacefal m aE3. If it is rot, jnosin the future by the pssh, it is liktly to ba efectad by violent means. Jhe American tpirlt fs one of projrre?

Special Kütorlal Corrcrponcnca.l Wasuisgio.v, April 4. Five years a?o I attended the trial of Lewis R Redmond, tha 'moonshiner." At nineteen he w3 an outlaw with a reward by the Government stimulating strenuous attempts for his capture. After eight years a sqi&d of Depity U. S. Marshals overhauled him in Transylvania County, N. O. He wa3 unarmsd and did not know any pursuers were near, when five bullets were lodge I in his body. He recovered, was tried, cDnvicted and Eentenced to ten years' imprisonment in the Aubarn, N. Y.. prison. He was then twenty-seven, a mild eyed, gentle voiced, slender being with manners that won . ths friendship of ail who met him. Even tha white haired United S'ates Judge who pronounced his sentencs spoke words of sympathy for hitn. There were "many mitigating circumstance! connected with his offences. I wa3 with Redmond and his guards when they retched Washington en route for Auburn. It was on 6anday,and they had to remain in Washington several hours for a train, and I tchk Redmond or a drive over the city. When we had been past the department buildings and were on Capitol Hill the cripple said, in his quiet way: "If I had known the United States Government was a? big a thing as It i3 I wcnld never rave defied even one cf its ohl:ers." Noxhere el.e can one &ee so mcch suggesting the fores and grasdeur of onr Nation. For fifteen jtars I havs been a frequent visitor heie. and an familiar with the various Government buildings. As the country has grstvn in wealth and presi erity, the public properties have been correspondingly enlarged and improved. Six'y years ago ths Government tui dir gi at tee Capital were not more ex tt-neivejer valaable than thcse'of ths city of Indianapolis. But cow they hav grown to be o j cts no less of wonderment than adrxiration , and not less for our own countrymen than iortho representatives of European sovereignties. It is net a source of regret that tho Present's house is the least pretentions ef the official edifices. We read in this the avoidance cf one man power in the spirit of onr institutions. The proudest reaches of architecture and decoration are in ths Capitol, where the people and the States, through their representatives, frame the laws. The 83veTal departments State, Treasury, War, Interior, Navy, Justice and rostoffics through which affairs are directly adminis tered, are all in more imposing structures than is the White House. The new Pension building Is a monument to the appreciation by tie Government of its volunteer soldiery. The great hall here tbat in which the iaaognral ball was held Is the most spacious of the kind cf any in the eat'ra world. But It ia an exalted honor to be made President of these United States. And what a tribute to the spirit of equality of man, which pennies the princ'ples ot our Government, is the fact that eo many of onr Chief Magistrates have eprung from poverty and the very humblest walks of life. Contemplate the youth of U. S. Grant, James A. Garfield, Andrew Johnson and Andrew Jackcon ill virtually backwoodsmen, with no surroundings or associations to augur the eminence which was to crown their future years. I could rot but think of the obscure esrly life of Graver Cleveland while, a day cr two since, within the Executive Chamber, I saw a score of distinguished men, hats in hand, waitlrg their lestective turns for a "word of interview with the administration chief. It isenlertainirg to look on while the Pies.dent receives, cne by one, the callers wao have been admitted to this room. Etandlngabcut the middle of it, or toward the south side, the windows of which overlook ths Washington monument and the Potomac, he listens attentively to tha one who appioiche3 Lim and answers in like voles:! ths interview is des'rel by the via tor to net bs overheard. Those in waiting, of conn e, keep themselves at a proper distance asd usually engage in conversation among themselves so as to avoid overbear ing cr e ven the appearance of desiring to do co. While d'gnifei and df corona, there b notircf r.tiffnc:3 in ths apartment. T:e
President, thcugh rath?r stolid of manner, is altcgether affable, and never le8 so to the unnoted than the rcott dietiogtilibcd. Ladies are not unlreqcentiy among those admitted ti thess reet pticna. I was present one morning when Mile. Rhea, the actrcjs, and a ino-t besutifnl, accomplished and estimable la3y. called in company with her manager. "While there wasnore cf the carpet knight gill&atry in the Pfpsident's courtesy, it was as admirable ?even the manner of tha cbarmin? little French lady, who had the good taate t take

Should President Cleveland declds that General Lawton, wLom he nominated to the Eene'c for the mission, is ineligible, Ind'ma may tt tie appointmsnt of Colonel Carlej Penby as "ilinister to Italia. I have known General Lnwion fromchilJhood and a ncbler specimen of manhood I hive never met, nor cue bitter qualifi s.i for the trust fcr which tho President named him. Bat Colonel Per.by, with a record a3 a UniDn soldier, is alio possessed of every quality and capacity requisite to representing the Government at the 8t. Petersburg court. And all other things being equal, a man of CLerles Deiibf 's fs-to and address is ex ;?ptiocrlly fitted fjr bcirg sent a Minister abroad. Is dees appear tbat it ia bisra time for oljc'.uis tj cf&-e a;aint men wh, tbo:h th'y fu?ht in t!is Cjnfcttiri'asimits, hv fcr twn.ty jears prevfn ss earnest lora'.ty t-3 any cit.z3o of tiia pulli-x Stili. it it is fcund upon farther ir:T st'git'ou that General Liwtou'a ; arden does not cover all the requlr?tueate of the acts of Corgrets bearing np?n pird jus of ex Confedera!e8, it is not likely that Mr. Cleveland will appo!nt him. In that crent Colonel Denhy should be presented earnestly by Indiana. The appointment of Rafus Mageeloths Strecen and Norway mission gives eminent satisfaction to lndianians here. Tin young Senator has h.id so many words spoken in his favor that the President can not but fasi highly satisfied with his preference. T ü KSÜrTlFliY OFFICERS. Ladd Gives Patrolman Shiughnesay andEchsigert a Lively Caaao, and They Send Nine Bullets After Ulm. At an early hour je3terday morning Patrolmen Sche;grfc and Saaus;hne337 were detailed to guard the residence of tha wife of ex-Patrolmen Ledd, who, with John C Phillips, e;cateJ from the Satkn-house Friday.night, which fact was chronicled In the Sentinel of yesterday. Tha police were confident that Ladd would call ttiara if still Inrkirg about the city, ana sura enough thir expectations were realized, for about e;x o'clock he pres-ntei hirmelf at toe door, thereupon the two officers spraDg frooi taeir placed co ceaiment and grabbed for him, but the fpsitive was too quick fir thsm. He was out cf the yard in two bounds, and bcnndii g ever the fenca, eptd rapidly south on Alabama ereet. When near tha corner c f aierrill Arthur McKnight, one of Sinker, Davis Company's drivers, made a uove a if to intercept him. Withont a moment's hesitation Ladd picked np ahrick and struck him a heavy blew cn the head, felling him instantly. Ladd proved to be too flaet-foot-ed and IcEp-Tindfd for his pursara?, aad cutdi'tanced them near the Biltev far.i, ri?ss rearing In the woods which line ths Belt, the police firing nine shot3 at him altogether, i'elephoa and telegraph msaes were sent to kJouthpott, Franklin, and several other surrounding towns, and the palice are still confident that they will get their man. There is every indication that Phillips has left the city. The fall name cf Ladd's step daughter is Ladof ka Mcintosh, and her mother has beei married to Ladd about two years. Ths records show that Ladd was not on duty on the night of the 23J of February, aai ths girl was aso absent from horns. Lai i's warmest friends now think him guilty, an i it will go hard with hlci if captured, "for h will be tried on the additional ciari o: aisanlt and battery with intent to kill. K. OF 1. MVriERS.

A general committee, representing all the Jocgea, has charge or the arrangements lor the tournament. But They'll Stay. The managers of the Teephone Coaaoany express the opinion that tbe passage of the Williams bill, reducing rental of instrument to?-'i ter month ill drive the cooopany from the city a-ü retard the construotion of Hues to ou'slde points, as the bosines can not he cccdncted at tbe proposed rates. A royalty of 20 a year on each instrument is pail to the Eel iTle phone Company. The nreieat rental is $00 a year ($0 per month) for each Instrument, or $.") per year when two are used. There is little likelihood oi the present company pulling up stakes and leavirg Indiai apclis. and if it d d, another equally as good would no d.nbt come in and occupy tbe abandoned fidld, even at the rates proposed in Mr. Williams' bill.

FICKLE FORTUXE. Ibe Macauler Boya A Family c? Theatrical Managers.
The thres brothers, Barney, Daniel and John Mecauley, all of whom have manag! theaters, are as well or better known to oar citizens than any of the "before the war"' period cf Indianapolis young mea. All of them bright, brainy and genial, thy each commanded troops of friends. Btrney, the talented actor, has had ample opportunities In bis profession and wasted them. Dan has had the most briiliant career if only his war ahd political record i3 considered. And he is the mere showy and courtly mannered cf the trio. As the Co'osel cf tbe old Eleventh Indfar a hs fairly shone as a brilliant snJ accomplished cfikcr. He rore from the ranks to that cf a Brigadier General, and when the k ar closed was the pershnification cf a handsome and dashing brigade commander. The General'a long and creditable servics as M&ycr of this city is familiar to all Ssatinel reader?. His Eccial qualities, hi.? graces of oratcry and felicity of speech made him a general favcrite. In hl3 mayoralty capacity cf receiving the city's honored guests and presiding at receptions, banquet?, etc., he seemed peculiarly fitted. He has chased the fickle geddess ' Fortune" in many ways and in varied directions; from Indianapolis to New York, and f.oaa New York to 11aro&t fro t8ck, ai.d then to eld Mexico, but somehow he never jet succeeded in catcain? np with the ccy aud swift footed ma'.dea. It ves throrgh Pao's instrumentality that, ctnikg the yreat ral estate inflation of 171 and '72. that Weed ra IT Piaca was laid cut et d embellished wish paved drive?, fountaiLs, ttstuary, antique va?e3 overhung with sweeping vires and blooming plants, the fruit cf his princely tasle. Tae General bes recently leased the American Hotel at Columbus, Ohio, and has settled down into a steady-going boniface. A few dajs since ths writer met John Mfcsuley, the younger of the brothers and present proprietor of Macauley'a Theater, Louisville, an elegant structure erected elgit or ten jears ego by Barney. "Jack"' as he is familiarly styled, is just now in financial "clover," ana he is in every way deserving of his pecuniary success. He his all ths Macauley geniality, wit and heanincss tbat make them such splendid company and coir ranicnahle gentlemen. While at Iadianapolfc, and before taking charge of this theater, Jrck "boxed the ccmpass" of unprofitable mercantile and manufacturing venture, ß'.ories have been told, emanating ia certMn quarters, that Jack did not preserve a nice sense of brctberly honor in the purchase of Macauley s Theater for which there is not the least shadow cf a foundation, it ia probably true he was net willing to sacrifice the opportunity of a life-time to any ,4dog m the mauler policy" of "Hands off. I don't want the chance and no other Macauley shall take it." It happened something in this way, as detailed to a Sentinel reporter by disinterested parties. After Barney had ran his theater a few seasnrs he became involved in a net work cf indebtedness end abandoned the property to irs hanker?, Messrs. Norton Co., Louisville, who kindly appreciating Barney's misfoi lnr.es, ciTred to sell the property back to Barney oa long time for theroruipal sum of $40.00, but the latter becomint disccureged with thea'rical prospects in Louisville, declined theoHer. Sub sequently Norton & Co. cüered ths theater and dwelling to Jack for ? 15 000 on equally kng pavmentr, the first dating u year afterward. This proposition wa3 accepted. It vtas but a few months thereafter that Joe JtfTcrecn cflered Jack Macauley ?35.000 for Ire property, which was rejecttd.. The the ater has made money rapidly, and Jack no ends hirrseli in possession ot a property almost clesr of incumbrance and worthat leaaSUOCOO. As heretofore published Iu U.e tenticel, he is now buildine; a handsome residence in a fashionable quarter of the city, preparing to enjoy hi3 well and honorably earned shekels in a style becoming the bon-vivant that he is. His success Catfa from a small beginning that appar ently did not promise a large yield. AN ATTEMPTED ARREST, Which Resulted in the Arreet of the Would bo Arresters. About 7 o'clock last night Constable Fran k Glass, accompanied by Reinhold, visited the Dime Museum with the intention, as they say, of arresting Frack Hubert, ona of Ihe musicians, on a capias taken out at the instance cf Mr 3. Sarah E. Hcdson for the collection of $6 70. When they reathed the door leading into tbe Mns?u n Reinhold called one of the parties out to inquire about the man of mnsicJl tendencies, and about the rarce time Constable Glae was qoestiored by another employees to tbe object cf his visit. He produced his targe, taying that he was an officer and had in pessetsion a capiaj for Hubert. About this time Reinhold was struck under the burr cf the right ear and knocked down upon the iloor td-the entrance to th9 Museum. When ha attempted to rise he was seized by two or three man, as he describes it, and was landed upon the pavement on his head, wherehe might have baen standing, 3 et were it not for the fact that the meinbsr then in the air being the weightier of the two naturally caused him to fall over. Döring this performance, which was not in th? programme for the Meseuni last evening. Glass was in the hands of the special policsn an, frcm whojs naca he received a coaple of severe gahis on the head, and which Dr. Coaoingore an hour later artistically covered witb court plaster, lie was then arrested and taken to the station-house and slated for disluibirg the peace and resisting an officer. Reinhoid, who says that he went along to see that bond was furnished for Glass, was arrested at the s'atlon-nouse and slated on a like charge. Both cf the parties gave bond and were r'eaed.

Instead of ai resting Hubert the efficers found themselves both arresled, and will appear before the Mayor tomorrow, when tbe true inwardness ot tbe affair will be mace plain. Glass was quite seriously insured, but Reinbold stems to have stuod bis thcrupicg withint ma'erial injury, the explanation Jyirg. possibly, in the iact that he was struck only upon the heal. Henry George. Henry George, who visits this city this week to lecture, has achieved a notable reputation. Five yean ego he was unknown. A California miner, he has felt the pressure cf the monopolies that have held that laud es in a grip of iron. This experi-nce wrung frcm him the bock "Progress and Poverty,' or an attempt to account for tb fact tbat with all the immense Industrial po:ress of this f pe, poverty should kep s'ep win iu The book eprung atence irto cemairt. It T'ade its author the beat known man in two continents. Indeed, Mr. George is better known abroad than he is at home, hjanse the land question Is one which crosses f jr so luticn mere imperatively in England than in America. Tie Lcndon Times called this hook iha xrest d srgc rocs book of tha ceatary.'' The

The great llnzlish arterliet, the nineteenth Century," the Contemporary, the Fortnightly, have articles for or a?a!r?t Henry George's theories in every issue, life's ' Contemparay Socialism" devotes a chapter to "Progrrss aad Poveity." Thebockhas b?ea translated into all Eu!opean languages, nnd is caarly diiccssed by all claise?. Mr. George docs not belong to tbe claas technically known as "socialists," communis'." nihilists." He is eminently religious and faithful to the reverential traditions of er ciety. But he iatec o? ly feels the suffering cr the working class, the uneanal share thev are receiving in the products cf bountiful nature. To his vie v it it chiefly charfable to private ownership cf land, and his renisdv Resin the nationalization cf land by the pccplecf the land. This 13 no neir view; it is cid es Aristotle. It bus had the advocacy of John Stuart Mill, William E. Gladstone, Herbert Spencer, Thomas Carly Ip. John Raskin. But no one has called such attention to it as he, cr proposed so drastic a remedy. Whether he si accepted or not, he must be heard. His theories are the property of the people, and are discussed in every labor assembly in the land. Easter Services.

Gardner left a note, so writes the jailer to Marshal Foster, saying that he "would return In time to get an honorable discharge." Daring Gardner's alleged incarceration before his trial, rumors wer rife that he was en joying a picnic rather than imprisonment, sharing tbe good cheer cf tha jaie.'r's table, rooming with eorae studsnts who were bearding in the Sherid'a residence, end occasionally taking a bn?gy ride to r lieve the monotony of h;s location in a . ccuntrv town. In fct, he had the freelom. of the p'ace, and wa a priioner -enly in name.
