Entered as second-dan natter at the rostoac at Indianapolis, Lnl. Hon. Stastox J. Vr.iu.z, M. C, is a warm admirer of Hon. W. S. Holman, of whose ability and integrity he speaks in the highest terms. It is f aid that Emory Storni was recently at Saratoga, surrounded by a group of rich men, when he remarked: 'You fellows think yourselves highly essential. Have you observed that there are only two rich men of antiquity whose names survive? Cr- scu, who served to tarn a poet's figure, and Dives, who was fortunately associated with a paarer." Before the languor following this remark had subsided Storrs added: "How many as well known fellows as yon were sitting in Athens once, observing that that obscure cuss, Phidias, was a long time doing that ornamental work up stairs?" It would be interesting to know if Yanderbilt male ore of the group. JIr. Akthi r will suit ua very well as the next candidate of the Republican party for the Presidency. He is the embodiment of a good deal of its humbuggery and is enjoving the fruits of much of its rascality. A prominent Republican takes this view of him: "Arthur," said he, "is the coming min, and Judge Gresham will be the second on the Republican ticket That eeems to me the etrongest possible combination. Arthur is growing daily in popularity, and he is working bis claim for a second term t'jr all it is worth. His record tins far has been cWn, conservative and praiseworthy; he has antagonized no particular faction, and he has ev-r. compelled the Democrats to do him honor, especially these vho want the Tendleton civil service law to be given an impartial trial:" It seems that while James Buchanan w&. President his niece, Miss Lane, accepted an invitation on two occasions to be a guest on the Government vessel, Harriet Lane. The old hero did not like it, and wrote his niece as follows : "I am sorry to find that your excursion to West Point on the Harriet Lane has been made the subject cf newspaper criticism on yourself. The practice, however, of employing national vesseU on pleasure excursions to gratify any class of people is a fair subject for public criticism. You know how much I condemned your former trip on the time vessel,' and I did not expsct you would fall into a second error. The thin;;, however, is past and gone, and let it pas. After a fair time shall have elapsed, it is my purpose to cause general orders to be issued by the Treasury and Naval Departments to stop the practice." It i3 now in order to hear what Arthur has to say on the same subject. Some one traveling in Mexico describes the peon system now in vogue in that country. 'The Mexicans, especially tha less favored classes," the writer remarks, "are inveterate gamblers, who risk nearly every cent they can get in games of chance. This failing results in many of them becoming virtually serfs. A man borrows a small sum say $3 or f 4 with which to try his lack at the gaming table. He lose and is unable to repay the money. He is arraigned, the debt is proved and he is sentenced to work for the lender till the amount of his obligation is paid. I'.y the time he has liquidated the original debt he has contracted three or foar others, and he belongs to his creditor almost as much as the creditor's horse or cow. His death does not cancel his debt; his wife or his children must labor till the money is returned. This is said to be the reason why peons do not ran aFay after contracting debts." It is interesting to inquire how long such a population could withstand the pressure of ä.VGOO.OöO or 7". 000,000 rushine, grasping, civilizing and Christianizing Yankee?, fall of the idea of manifest destiny and the Monroe doctrine? The answer is ready. They would move on like chafT in obedience to the voice of a cyclone. Mexico will be thoroughly Americanized within the next lifty years. General Dakkix Ward made a splendid Democratic peech the other night at Galion, o. The Republicans of the Buckeye State thought to profit by the temporary disappointment occasioned the General by the nomination of Judge Hoadly. The old war horfe concluded his speech as follows: "On the other hand, my Democratic friends, oar party 5a perennial. Its principles areiuited to every phase of National progress, every need of 60c:ai development It discards centralization and paternal Government. It teaches that when hundreds of millions gather under our (lag from every clime and nation no repose can be had except under that dual system of government which gives indestructible autonomy both to the Union and the States, and leaves the largest liberty of individual action. Break down or enfeeble the State?, and rule from the Federal Capitol by satraps or Tro-Consuls from the Atlantic to the Tarific, and the corruptions and licentiousness of Tenia or Rome will extinguish public liberty or drown the struggling Nation in a tea of blood; or clothe Government with paternal power over the social movements of the people and our civilization would be stereotyped into a lifelese conservatism. The past of the Democratic party guarantees the country against these evils from Its rule in the future. My comrades, to u ar l ihof e who come after us, the preservation and enforcement of our principles are cow nil tied. Danish from your counsel

SpealtEg of hsuts, the New York Mail .nd Kxpreis concludes that a "ringing issue" is the Mormon questi n and to rutke it ring tte M. and K. wnis the Administration at or ce to put a atop to Mormon immigration, arid declares that "the Administration would tttrike a famous blow ho;ld it effect the exc'usion of Mormon immigrants " The proposition is that when a ship-load of Mormon converts arrives at New York or any other port, the authorities shall at once order them back to Europe. This high-handed measure is to be taken on the ground that the ' immigrants have ccrue to the United States for the express purpose of committing the crime of polygamy. The immigrant are to be denied the privilege of an explanation, of denying the d arge, or of declaring their intentions. They are rot to land on our shores. The' demand is tend them hack, and this kind of treatment is pronounced a ''famous blow" and the way to start a "ringing issue." Outside of the Mormon communion no one. in America in anywise apologizes for the degrading crime of Moljgamy, but it should be fated that wi:hirt that community there are thousands who orpree trie practice, and who hold that polygamy and Mormonlsm are not necessarily allied. The legal objection to Mcrmoni?m reiste entirely to polygamy. Do away with that abomination and Mormon is in at once becomes legally respectable and tii.ee there are thousands of Mormons who are not polygamies, the "famous blow" recommended by the Mail aud Ktpres, might bean inf-nuocs blow of remarkable proportion. .Atriln, the estimate now is that tbe population of the United States is .".N'.Of'O. j., is-m-there were in ths country about 110 0 0 Mor:rjviü, poljgimists and anti-polygirn'.sU.

GEOLOGY AND MATUKAL HISTORY. Ti e iVpsrtiLent i ;' tJcjlogy and Natural History of th- jS:U" cf Indiana is fortunately in charge of Hon. 'oha OHett, Sfate Geologist, and it ii only nectary to mention the name of the distiruiihsd scientist to kno.v that bis reports are a valuable ai thorough knowledge of the Htirjfct9 treated aud unwavering fidelity tj th? d'.ities of his Department can make them. Th twelfth annual report is on our tab:e, for which we are indebted to the county of the learned author. Geolo?y is said to be that branch of science which comprehends me kuowledgeof all that relates to the fern, stricture, mineral andJosil constituen'.s-jf t!; enrth. and it will, therefore, be readily i.LderiVod that a thorough geological survey cf th? Sla'e muV of necessity be a mean? cf supplying the people with a vast amo'int of vaiu.iS'p information, which without sue'.) h s .rvey would never be furnished. Tak this view of the subject, Indiana is t o be complimented upon her advanced position taken in this important matter, as the vcLnne br-f ore us is testimony that for twelve yen; ptst the survey has been guin 'öryt&rd, and the valuable knowledge thu- obtained widely distributed.

In the matter of f-andstdnes ivcfessor ColJett fnyu that "the sandstones of Indiana occur ia a broad belt from the Illinois line, in Warren County, south and southeast through the Counties of Kourttin. Yeimtilion, Montgomery, i'arke. Putnam, Clay, Owen. Greene, Martin, Pike, Dubois, Orango. iVrry, Crawford and Harrison, to the Oliio River. This la tl' C0Di(lcuierftte sand-rock, forming the base cf the coal measures, and the samf as the sandstones t,o famous in Sootcb. and KnshVi architecture; and, though irregular in color and physical characteristic? to soma extent, presents a great bed of building material, f'ost, lire and water proof, and of practical vaioe (or permanence and solidity." We are told that ''the coal field of Indiana are embraced in an area of about 7,000 square miles," and thct the quality of the cosle rankes from fair to superior." We are also informed that during the ppf-t year tbe coal mines of I the 8ute emplojed "..Kj0 men, to whom were jtaid wee3 amounting to over 11,500,000. In tbe ni nes was invested a cspital of $2,500,U while tbe product was 1,500 OOO tons of coal, worth at the mines 2.5O,000, a sum cqsal io the capital invested. From a email beginning in a region where wood fuel was o abundant H3 to be a drawback, the excellent iua'.ily of o.ir coal Las promoted Indirr.a to the place of s'xth in the coai-produc-

log States of the Unim, with a gain of 2U per cent, in the past decade, or over 2Z per cent, per annum, while the future promlsöa ßtill larger outputs and triumphs." In the way of glass, satd, gravel, lime and cement, clays and kaolin, the report contains valuable information, and in regard to eoiia says: Tbe soil cf Indiara i composed of materials from ail the geological horizon?. It contains the elements ol all. epread as a broad alluvial plain along the ancient glacial bed. Being deep, it holds like a Fpoi.e tbe ixc f of winter and epilrjgmol.starti to alleviate w tU dews, or water by tpiings, the urroundlng country, avoiding excessive drouth. I'ofey County has shown to the State Hoard jf Agriculture ISO bushels cf oora to tbe cre, wbil Vermillion County romes to the front wither bushels of wheat and no bushels or oats to the &cre. Otber regions are equally rich, tliowing ieult.s in grains aud grasses which rival thefe. fiuco crops are not accidents, bat are the legitimate anl natural results of a euperior roil and it mineral couoiitiienu. When we rnfclder that a fco'i composed of the decompni'i n o' local rock onJy is lean and toon neel manure, we can appreciate the effects of th d?poi.ion of the e'.adsl drift over Indiana in the almost fabulous fertility l its soil as instanced by the abore example. We are not permitted within the scope of sn orJinary newspaper article to refer particularly to all the merits of the geological report, afid our object is accomplished in calling the epecinl attention of our readers to the great value of the work. A rare and interesting feature of the report is an outline map of Indiana, showing dates and places where treaties were held ceding lands to the United States, as alro an outine map of the State showing the districts as subdivided by the United States surveyors, together with each name and date of survey. Tbe student will t':nd the pages devoted to arche ology the antiq iities of the fifa'e interesting and instructive, and the catalogue of the flora of Central and Eastern Indiana is a valuable contribution to the report. This report should have a wide reading in Indiana to an extent that the people maybecome thoroughly informed in regard to the operations of the Department of Geology and Natural History, the value of which cm tcaicely be estimated.

TEE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THE MECHANICS. The Governmental idea of the Republican partyis that of Cr.ariem and serflsm. Itis not only to rob labor of juet compensation, but of dignity. The R -publican party creates and foiters monopolies, by which the few are permitted to compel tbe many to pay them tribute money. The Republic in party legislates alajs for the rich. It exalts the money power while it degrades the working people of the country. The Republican party advtcates the centralization o! power in tbe hands of the few, which to the extent of it? tcccess in that direction operates to enslave the many. The Republican paity ceaselessly antagonizes the rights Cf Slates while it continuously glorifies Federal authority. It forever clamors for a strong standing army, having faith in bayonets instead of ballots. It is the autocratic party, and would have the President clothed Ith the powers of a Sultan or Sbab. Occasionally a Republican organ becomes eußiciently impudent to blurt out the vitalizing idea of the Republican party. It will be remembered that at the supreme moment, when Garfield gave up the ghost, when the lips of the poor dumb, ioogueles mouth, nisde by a Republican assassin's bullet, was etill open for the escape of pus, that the Indianapolis Journal shouted out that Arthur had taken Garfield's place in the White House "by the act of God," and lott this organ of Republicanism refers to the mechanics and workingmen of the United S'ates as if they were so many Eerfs belonging to the estates of monopolists, dependent upon them for food, shelter and clothing. It fays: "f i'i vith I hit ia,t army ,. 3.""W hia han'c that the trjccr.tmritt h(l to datt. The fi at aim Is to i'i? thent t ahi emftloyiuriit nt ,nh wages 0. will mi in tail thfi.i In couifor'.'' No Southern planter in old slave times ever talked more patronizingly of his negroes. No turbaned Turk ever uttered aeentence more deeply freighted with guardianship. No Russian nabob ever talked of his eerfs in terms indica five of a lower degradation than the language employed by the Journal in referring to the U.000,000 mechanics with whom, It ray?, "the Government has to deal." In what way we ask has the Government got to deal with these Americau mechanics? Thest o.OOO 0C0 American mechanics are citizens, tovereigna in their own right, clothed with high and sacred prerogative. They maie and uamake Legislatures and Congressee, Presidents and Governors. They constitute a part of the Government, and a important part of it. They vote, pay taxes, create wealth, fight battles, carry forward enterprises and dignify human nature, and their labor and still add in Infinitely to the glory of the Republic. EtlU, the Journal, a Republican organ, the organ that declared Arthur IV eldent "bv the act of God," tetla these .OOOjOOO mechanics that they are the people with whom "tbe Government has to deal." That the Goverrruent has to take them Into custody and watch over them as a Souther j planter need to guard and protect his negroe?, and as is now done in Cuba and Brazil. The Indianapolis Journal tells these .1,000,00 mechanics that it Is the first aim of tbe Gov eminent to "give them steady employment at euch wages as will maintain them in comfort." Godf! has It come to this that American mechanics are regarded by a Republican organ as voiceless in matters of employment and w;ea? Are tbese 3,000,000 mechanics to ce told that under Republican rule they will be required to take what they can get and be satisfied? That is the old; plantation talk when tbe owner of one or a hundred negroes told them to work, and that it was his business to "maintain them in comfort." We tell the Republican organ that American mechanics are net undi r Government surveillance and are not dependent upon the Government for work and wages. The Government does not control them. It is not their patron. It is not required to "deal" with them as if they were slaves or jauper?. ih? workingmen of America protest against laws which increase the cost of living and the burdens of taxation. The 3,000,000 mschanics in the United States are opposed to monopoly In all its forms opposed to payin? tribute to them and the time will coai? when 3 000,000 American mechanics will assert their power and see to it that unjust laws are swept from the statute book. For

this the Democratic p'arty is now laboring, and tbe sins of the times are cheering. The Republican partv will have o go.

Rex I.rTLEB has decide! to be his own f cccesf or a ihe Governor of Massachusetts. As old Ren knows the road he will get there, but tbe Tewktbory Republicans of the old Rcy S'ate are much opposed to the old man. They tbit.k he is a -'di.'grace" to the eort of civili'atioi they have there nowadays, although it coders the atrocities recently re-vt-aled in the Tkhny i vogfigation. FOKKIGX NOTES. II::. Gkoeof.

AnPgh2 newspaper reminds us that United States Treasury be nds to the amount of X M.OJO.OüO are held by three persons tne Pake of Suther land, Sir Thomas 15. assy and the Baroness Burden-U-uttp. A yol'mcj and bcantlful girl, the daughter of Arnim Deuuch, a well known banker, committed suicide reeently in fiuda-Pesth. She was to hive been married a few days later. When the news of this unfortunate iccideut was carried to the girl's mother, the latter tiled to throw herself out of the bedroom window. The methods of Italian agriculture are peculiar. Several crop rotation systems are in vogue. Iu many districts the plows and other instruments employed are tude aud antitpiated. being evideatly lineal descendants ol the old Roman implement described by Virgil. 1 1 nome regions even the harrow is uumown. In Italy, on the whole, tbe ltud la scantily mauuied. Probably modern and 1: ght American farming foots would find a market in tbe Italian peninsula, If properly introduced. One of the most attractive fairs of the year hat been the Swiss National Exhibition, which was held at Zurich la July, and clo-ed just a month a 30. The Bmlhi are world-famed for certain branches of industry, Zurich I the seoond silk manufactutiajciiy ia the world, the Swiss embroideries are sold all over the universe and the machines fcr embroiderlug and the looms for weaving silk were all in operation. Tbe s.lkln dnstry constituted the 'first stctlon of the show. There were forty three sections in all. Switjr land has nearl j 50,000 people engaged in silk manufacturing The cotton exhibit was also inviting, so were the displays of laces and watches. No exhibition was ever held anywhere in the midst of more beautiful natural surroundings. The various buildings, padogas, etc , filled a park in which wire .'great forest trees, as well as I! o wer j and shrubbery. Zurich itself is a delightful city. Tue newspapers of Paris are much more like those that were published in the Unfed SUtes foity years ago than like American journals of tbe present day. Aside from their common characteristics as family a ory papers, they ara politidtl psmjhlets. They are not newspapers in any proper fen&e cf the wcrd. Ihey do not print the lecoids of the hour to Vie exclusion of everything ehe. An enterprising New Yorker recently beaan the publication in P.iis. in EnglUh, of a live newspaper, and he ha bad no end of trouble with tbe authorities. If he were less enterprising he would K?t along all right. The official resulatlons for newspaper publishing in I'arls are startling. No newsboy, for example, can be employed except by tbe special official permission of the reiftclure of rolice, after some weckj have been spent in an investigation concerning tha biy's character. The publishers can not display a poster in their own window without getüng it s'amped. All of tbeir news dlspatcae are subject 10 impaction by officers of the Govdinment before ifcey reach tbe rtuie.

BL1CKBUBN WITHDRAWS. He Is Not a Candidate (or the Speakership, hut la WllliBg to Btrom United States (Senator. Feaskfoet, Ky., Aug. Hon. J. C. 8. Blackburn was in the city to-day -nd made known his intentions concerning the Speakership to Colonel J. Stoddard Johnston, editor of the Frankfort Yeoman. He said certainly I have no reservation when I speak to the people through the Yeoman, which I am always glad to make my medium of communication. I can say that I am cot a candidate for Speaker. Tor Borne weeks I Lave made my determination known to my i fnend3 and you are authorized to make the announcement public. My desire for the success of the Democratic party in Congress and for the organization of that body upon a basis which will insure the best interest of the country is superior to any feeling of personal ambition. Aident frends and fellow members have urged me to prosecute a canvas for the position and have assured me of Eubitintial strength iu the caucus, but I am sitistieti that in order to defeat the machinations of the protectionists and secure the election of a Speaker who will rtct the true Democratic theory of a tariff for revenue cniy, it will be necessary to concentrate rather than by having too many candidates representing similar views 10 promote the chances of the common foe By rcy withdrawal Kentucky will be united in tbe fight, and I shall lend ail my energies to the succees of that candidate, w'ho, representirg the true principles of tariff refo-m shall show the best prospect of defeating Mr Randall. These may be said to be tbe con si de rati or s of a public nature which have led me to this consideration. There are, however, personal reasons whicx supplement them and have also a controling influence. Since the ad:ourninent of Corgrsss I have been urged by many per sonal inenas to permit tne use ot my name as a candidate for the United States Senate. After mature consideration I have consented to becorn- a candidate, and you are authorized to announce me. I do not feel I can with propriety stand for ooth places, and therefore decline the race for the Soeaker-s-bip to deyote my energies to that of Senator.

He estimates that a motor could be submersed in the river which would furnish half a million horse power suilicient to run all the machinery in RufTaloand pump ell the city's water. His plan is to place a giant iron wheel in the river perpendicularly, so that it shall be turred by the current. The power would be taken from the shaft of tbe wheel by either belts or gearines, or would be ent through electric cable. Consumption Cured. An old physician, retired from practice, having had placed in his hands by an East Indian missionary the formula of a simple remedy f r he speedy and permanent cure for consumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma, and all threat and lung affections; also, a positive and radical cure for nervous debility and all nervous complaints, after having tested its wonderful curative powers ia thouiands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his saffering fellows. Actuated by this motive and a desire to relieve human suffering, I will eend free of charge, to all who desire it, this recipe, in German, French or Enelish, with full directions for preparing and using.
