Caeteh Harrison seems to have gigged the Chicago Kins. Francs has bad twentythrae cabinet3 within tificen years. They don't die thsy resign. A bai.lct lox wai stolen in a Chisago ward cn Tuesday. Some oi the old Indianapolis Republican gang must have bsen there. Tits New York Evening Pü3t fays thit the "vicions elements" left the Democratic party l&at year and voted the Republican ticket. Theke Is tali: that the telephone monopoly Las "ecflp" which it will attempt to use cn the hards of Senators to prevent the passage of the Reduction bill. Let the Senate rebuke ita audacity. How the organs do howl about stuffing ballot boxes in Chicago and Cincinnati. Bless their honesty, we heard little of this tort of talk when the Republican party, a minority organization, wa3 kept in power for years by all 3orts of rascality, fraud and violence. Pretty birtla to chirp about fraud. The best posted men on the culture of trees denounce the prevailing mania of pruning maple trees in March and April, The sap i3 at this eeason cf the year going cp, and many fine maples are being ruined by the pruning hook of inexperienced pertons, or by these who simply want to hack at a tree and get pay for it. The last hope has faded. The ITepublicm papers have been solacing themselves with the toothing comfort that Miss Cleveland was a Republican. She, however, denies it, intimating that if Republican ladies came to the While Hou.?e for sympathy, they won't get it. It is suggested that she may be a "mugwump," or to make a feminine form of the word a ,,muqw unless." The Republicans of Cincinnati charge the Democrats with having complete chargo of the poll?, bribicg Republican Judges and stuffing all the ballot-boxes, and yet a Republican Mayor was elected by nearly 1,000 majority. If the Democrats could have had about two more hours of daylight the Republican majority would probably have been S.OCO. The more Democratic swindling the bigger the Republican majority. Clear as mud. Tin attacks of the Republican organs of Chicago and e:ewhereupon Mayor Harrison were and are almost dastardly ;in their character. The Chicago Times puts It in a nutshell when it cays: "The contest was a unique one, inasmuch 33 it was made a personal tight upon Mayor Harrison. Daring the campaign neither the wisdom nor the honesty of hia six years' administration was attacked, but the entire campaign cry was that became certain people, with whom he bad no possible connection, had committed illegal acts that, therefore, he must b9 beaten." Carter Harrison has made the best Mayor that Chicago ever had. When he firat took the position he found the financial affairs of the city in an almost inextricable tanglemade ' so by the blunders of Republican Mayors one succeeding another as rapidly as elections were held, and the last one making things worse than his predecessor. To-day Chicago stands at the top of the column. Republican organs always denounce the management of a city when a Democratic Mayor aits at the helm. Henoo the Eecseless attacks for weeks past upon Mayor Harrison by the Republican press of Chicago. He met triumphantly every charge they dared to make. They hurled innuendo's that he aided in the Mackln stuffing ballot box project, but were too cowardly to make any direct charges, and he dared them to snake them, bat they never ventured bejyond the line of prudence. THE ENGLISH DIALECT. An American dude connected with the "London Legation has become so thoroughly denationalized with a residence in England that he referred recently to the English language as spoken in this country as "the American dialect" that the language was taught and spoken only in Its purity in England. Chambers' Journal gives the pith of a talented yoncgiter'e composition as recently produced ia aa English Sundaysctool room. It is entitled "the Good Samaritan and xeadj as follows: "A cert Ing man went down frcm jerslam to jerlker, and be fell among thieves and the thorns sprang up and choaked him whereupon hs gave tuppins to the hest, and praid take care on him and put hia hon his hone haaa. And he past by on the other aide." Here Is another specimen written la answer to ths

mi

qcestlon : "Who was Moses?' "He lived in a hark maid ct bnllrusbei, and Ii9 kept a golden call and worshlpt bialten makes, and he Let r.cthln but qwbalea and manner for forty j ears. He waa kart by the air while ildicg ender a bow of a tree and was killed by bis son Abslcn as he was hanging from the bow. Iiis end was reace."

THE TELEPHONE BILL. It li understood that the telephone mo ropoly, through iti lobbyists and agents, is threatening the Serate that should the bill passed by the House for reducing the rentals cf telephone stations become law all telephones will be withdrawn from the State. We assert this threat to be the veriest bun combe. The plea that the reduction will prevent eny possibility of profit for the telephone investment discounts anyof the wildest snake stories extant. If our Senators will but take the pains to go past the lebbjists and agents of tha telephone company for Information, they will find it to bo a voraqious monopoly enjoying rights cf way for which it pays nothing, with considerable property in the Slate upon which it pays no taxes and yet takes from the people of Indiana about ?2OO,0CO per year in rentals for the U3Q of telephones, r.f nhich sum the larger pirt is net profit. Tte reduction proposed by this bill wi'l take cot lees than $."0,000 per vear from the profits of the monopoly. To eave this n?ce plum it is not surprising that it has employed men to come freni Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville, New Albany and othf r places to work for the defiat of the bill. The Superintendent hera of the Western Ualca Tclegnph Company, a part of the American Bell Telephone concern, is bestirring himself to continue fai tentd upon the people the outrageous extortion of from to $G0 per year for the rue cf an instrument which does not ccst at the outiide over $19 per year to maintain. The telephone company can not afford a reduction of tolls and live, forsooth! 8ach was the cry cf its twin, the Western Union Telegraph, until ita rival, the Baltimora and Ohio, established stations in the West, when it wes prompt to meet the reduced tariff of the latter and anxious for banneaa at the lowered rates. Let us submit a few facts concerning the claims cf tbo telephone people operating in Indians. They claim to pay to the American-Bell Telephone Companv, the parent concern, a royalty of upon each station. This is timply filee. The royalty paid dees not exceed lf per station, and is probably less than that sum. But who is it to whom this royalty ia paid? It is largely to the very men who are taxing thi? public f4S to ?G0 per station; for the larger elcckholder3 and many of the officars of tho sub-companies ecattered over ths couniry and renting instruments from the American-Bell Telephone Company, are also the ttockhoders in and officers of the American-Bell Telephone Compaay. Tho various local cr State organic itio 33 are only wheels within wheels of a gigantic corporate monopoly, coining millions from the people. There is in the cuter and inner workings of the concern much to suggest of ths eub cDntracts of directors of the Union TaciCc Compxny durirg the construction of thit road, and out of wh:ch the Credit-Mooilier tcindal arose. An estimate of 1,000 teleDhone stations in Indiana at an average of $X) rental each thews ?20O,COJ collected yearly in the State. Allow $15 royalty each paid by the stockholders of the sub telephone companies to themselves for the instruments, which, as stockholders in the American-Bell Telephone Company they own; allow them ?1 expenses per annum (a large allowance) per statioa for cperatioi and maintenance, aid we have $7GOCO expenses incurred by the telephone oarner?, leaving for them a profit of 12 1,000. Nor is tais all, for to this profit from rentals is to ba added the considerable iaccnid for paid telephone conversations between different towns, airocnticg to not ltes than $50,000 pr annum more, every cent of which is net. It is doubtful if there is to day in Indian any enterprise, large or small, reaping such enormous dividends. And yet the monopoly has the effrontery to threaten the State Legislature that if a small reduction from ita exhorbitant charges bs required, it will remove Its plants from the State. We trust ins 8enate will come down Hitfooted uron ths false representations of this mcnopoly, and give the people of the State the relief to which they aie entitled from ita cormorant exactions. If it can show the taxpayers cf Indiana why it should have free right ot way and immunity from taxation, and at the same time the right to exact 133 per cent, profit per year from them, then should the Legislature cot pass the redaction bill. But unless the monopoly can demon strate euch a prerogative the people should be allowed a share cf the dividends tbey have heretofore and are now being made to py. ANOTHE3 TELLER TRICK. What a genuine ty.e of genuine pureblccded Republicanism the late Secretary of the Interior, Mr.TilUr, is. The more his reccrd is investigated the more does he b'are and shine as a bright particular star in the galaxy of Republicanism. Among hia last acts as the head of the Interior Department was to issue an order to a gacg cf land speculators in Dakota, throwing open the reservations of the Crow-Creek Icdians to bettlement. The Winnebagces are now occupying the land. A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican lets the daylight through thistcheme. The Winnebagoes, it seems, had no notice of this Teller movement and within a few hours after the order was given a swarm cf whites coolly proceeded to "pieempt' the faras which the Winnebajcea have cultivated for years. They protefed that they were inclnded in the treaty ot ISC', which guaranteed their lands from s'z are without their consent, and again in the Sioux agreement made In 1332, by which the

Government promised to secure to each Indial family a certain amount of land. The effict of Teller's order was to rob them of everything, and it was baied upon the quibble that as this reservation is separated from that of the Sioux by the Missouri River, it wai net protected by these treaties, although thy were rxcant to cover it. The Indians of course have resented this attempt to steal their land?, and the new commissioner, Atkins, having examined into the matter, decided a few days since that Teller's action is null and void because the reservation is protected by the treaty of IS'JS. The Interior Department will recommend to the President that Teller's orier be revoked, and it is expected that this will be done. Justice in Tais case thus promises to be jpecdy end effective. The country is at last to have an honett Indian policy and an honest administrstion of Indian affair. This will be an important feature of President Cleveland's administration. His selection cf Atkins to be Commissioner of Indian Allans bids fair to be exceedingly fortunate

THE IRON TRADE AND SOUTHERN IRON. The Iron more than any other Industry is indicative of the business pulse of the country. It is the thermometer whose rise or fall in price gauges the prosperity f f the commercial and manufacturing world as the ir.ercury does the weather. Judging from the appearances of this standard just now we see a favorable change appearing in the horizon that is encouraging after the dullness which has prevailed, lol thesa many months. The healthful indication is in the detuend increasing for various iron products, thoueh not enongh to have much effect upon prices. Philadelphia manufacturers have found parties wanting in the aggregate 40,000 tons of steel rails, mostly for repairing and relaying track, there not as yet appearing to be much railway construction contemplated the coming eeaeon. The demand for pig metal, too, is looking up somewhat, so cn the whole we begin to think bottom has been touched ia the depression cf trade, and that henceforth demand and prices will take an upward turn gecerally. An unknown quantity in iron supply in tho future, and which already has shown its strong influence in the market reports, is the ellect whichtLe Southern product will have. This metal can be made from $1.50 to per ton cheaper now in Alabama than in Pennsylvania or Ohio a significant net which has aa immense bearing upon the future of oar country, aLd msy work changes that will revolutionize the manufacture of thii product to a veiy considerable extent. There is little doubt but that a large portion of all this metal made in the United States ia the future will be produced In Alabama and Tennessee, thus transferring to the South an industry heretofore monopolized by a few Northern States, pi:ticularly Pennsylvania. At present the high rates of freight oa Southern roads militate against the South and tend to check the development of her natural resource?, and, indeed, all kicds of improvements and businesa. But more roads will be built, money will be invested in manufacture, general prosperity and progress will go steadily forward henceforth in that Mcticn, too long held back already by the adverse circumstances of the war and of carpet-bag rule, now wiped out forever. Iron ore of several varieties, coal nearly free frcm sulphur, and limestone are all found in one and the same hill in Alabama. These are the three raw materials required to produce iron. With furnaces among these hills there is no transportation, no freight to pay cn the ingredients which make good iron. The coal being free from sulphur requires do cosing proces?. These are facts which give Alabama an advantage atlbrded lu no other part of thi3 country for making this metal cheaply, aa advantage which can not but make that a great manufacturing Stte, one which in time will not only successfully compete with Pennsylvania, bat even outstrip that Commonwealth, which, with a small portion of Ohio added, has heretofore had a monopoly of the iron-making business, upon which her citizens have waxed fat in wealth and prosperity. When Tennessee and Alabama get fully under way with manufacturing and have abundant railroads for distributing their products and affording competition in rates of freight, Pennsylvania and Ohio will have to 6hare with the Bouth what has hitherto been almost exclusively their business. SWEBTS SOMETIMES STICK. With due deference to her sex, we muU sobnit that for pure unadulterated cheek Miss Ada C. Sweet should be awarded a prz. Not content with having for eleven years occupied a 1,000 per annum position, from which she has drawn au aggregate sum of $11,000 from the Government, and notwithstanding the fact that her father was Deputy Pension Commissioner up to the time of his death, when she stepped into office, yet dofs Miss Sweet refuse tostand aside and let some equally worthy and much more needy and deserving widow or daughter of a soldier, or a maimed veteran himself, step into her plsce and enjoy some of the emolamenta of office. It is not civil service reform, ncr is it moral reform, for one individual to hold a public office, with a life and death grip, and enjoy the sang salary of ft.öOO per year for bo long a period as tirel?e consecutive years. The ides of eutail is foreign to our American institutions, and ia repuznant to the convictions of freedom and right to which our people are trained from childhood up ia this Republic Not all tbe widows, wives anddaughtera 0! soldiers who fought ia the late war can have (5ili;e either great or s nail for even one year. Just as we are opposed to the third term for one President so are we opposed to my Federal office-holder having twelva years poeseaaioa of one place. Miss Sweet ought to step down and out I without a murmur. But unfortunately ehs

is tco strongly imbued with the Republican idea ' stick to your efface" to gracefully resign as requested. Her goifg entirely around General Black atd appealing directly to President Cleveland to sustain her claim shows a disposition todisresid her superior officer's instructier?. This conduct ?s opposed to good discipline, and we hope that the President will, for every reason, see that Commissioner Black has his way ia this natter.

Tiif recently revised edition of the Old Testament will be published May 1. A ifCftt Ixmdon telegram eaya that several enterprising American publishers have mada efforts to fontall the Issue In England by attempting to secure advance proafs. American book publishers have offered as high as ?r.0Ct for siegle advance prints. It is not believed that any of these enterprising Yankees have succeeded In getting what they have sought. Their efforts, becoming known, have caused those having the work under control to adopt the strictest precautions to prevent advance publications. Investigation shows that the recent reports to the effect that the committee of revisers have found reason to believe their work will prove a popular failure have been entirely without foundation. Tbe orders for the revised Old Testament already exceed tho e tecared before publication for the revised edition cf the Ntw Testament.

THE DIAMOND, The Louisville Lambs Led to Slaughter Again and the Local Ones are Ready for the Next.

Despite the frigid atmosphere teveral hundred persons as?embled at the Seventh Street rak, yesterday afternoon, to witlieti the last of the seri3 of games between tbe home team and the Loulsvilles, which was wen by the former.
