. 1 INDIANA STATE SENTINEU WEDNESDAY!, NOVEMBER 21. 1S83.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21. Bancboft, the historian, has passed the four score mile stone on his Heavenward journey. Tbk moon shines very beautifully now at 22 and 23 o'clock handsomer, if anything, than under the old 10 and 11 o'clock count.

The total value cf breads tuffs exported during the month of October, 1S83, is given at 14,G31,530, and for ten months ended October, 31, 1S83, at $143,032,034. Goverxob Porter lias issued his Thanksgiving proclamation. lie has been rather dilatory. Perish tbe thought that the recent elections influenced the delay. The President will not attend the celebration of "Evacuation Day" in New 'York. The coach, known as the "White Chariot," in which Washington made a trip through the South, will be one of the most interesting features of the parade. A. T. Stewaet once put the price of kid gloves down to fourteen cents per pair in order to ruin a rival house. The rival house gobbled up the whole lot and raised the price to eighty-eiKht cents. Comment was needless, but A. T. commented just the game. IIerz is a specimen of "cheek": A boy wrote to a firm as follows: "I would like to travel and sell glassware for you I am sixteen and a half years of age. I have got the cbeek to sell goods. The way to sell goods is to show the man your goods and tell him your price. "Write soon and state salary that you will give and expenses, and tell me what section of country you want me to go to work in." A level-headed exchange says that there is no occasion fer swearing outside of a newspaper office, where it is very useful in proof reading and indispensably necessary in gettin? the forms to press. It has been known also to materially assist the editor in looking over the paper after it is printed. But it is more useful to the poor compositor in setting up bad manuscript than any one else. Otherwise it is a very wicked and foolish practice. The record substantiates what has long been telt; that our schools turn too many lialf-educated lads loose on the world, especially in cities, without training for special occupations, and with a dislike never overcome for all forms of manual labor. The fact is that the part played by mere illiteracy in making criminals is not so great as the ignorance of special occupations, and the school and college cultivated disinclination to enter into "plebeian mechanical pursuits." Wekpell PuiLurn is scarcely less robust in denouncing Republican methods to carry elections in Massachusetts than Governor Eutler. Mr. Phillips recently tooic occasion to say: (Our late canvass here in Massachusetts was managed by the "civil service" clique, flaunting in all the assumption of superior virtue a canvass which they proclaimed at the outset had no principle at issue, and which all men knew was only a paroxysm of personal spite; a canvass whose shameless use of untold wealth for the bare purpose of corruption whose unbridled license of falser od and whose systematic and successful effort to prevent poor men from voting as they wished were never before seen in Massachusetts." It should not be thought strange that Massachusetts Republicans pre vent poor men from voting, when it is known to be a part of their policy to skin dead paupers and sell their bodies for stiffs. The Index prints the prayer of a Positivist, v?hieli begins: "Thou great and growing god. Humanity, in whose imae all other gods were made, and for whose service all other gods exist, we praise and worship thee,' and then goes on as eloquently as any prayer that was ever addressed to an Ameri can audience- We are certainly looking into zenith of radical arrogance and impert inence when we write humanity with a large II and God with a small g, and congratulate the god with a small g that he is really "growing," and predicts that if he only keeps on growing he will come to something by and bye worthy the attention of a freeborn and rationalistic American citizen. For the present, however, he mu3tbe satisfied with the rather diluted commendation of a class of men who are perfectly sure that if tbey had created the world they would have made it worth living in. When a man has nothing higher to worship than bis own im pudence it is natural for him to spell God with a small g and begin his own name with a capital letter. THE SILVER QUESTION. As has been shown in these columns, the National Banks will demand of the Forty eighth Congress, to convene, the abolition of the tax on their circulation. There will Also be a demand made to perpetuate a very large amount of the public debt for the pur pose of perpetuating the National Bank sys tern. The money power is thoroughly or ganized and splendidly equipped for work. What it will be able to accomplish will be seen further along. It is shown by the records that "from the commencement of the period of standard silver coinage, March, 1373,' to December, 1882, the Government had purchased 11 2, 137, 401). CO standard ounces of silver at a cost of $114.332,230.57, and coined out of this metal $132,93., OSO." On July 31, 1SS3. the Treasury had on hand 113,000,000 standard silver dol lars with certificates outstanding against that amount of about $74,000,000, leaving to the credit of the Government about $39,000; O00, such facts which are manifestly in keeping with ideas of solid solvancy are what is constantly the source of growling on the part of tbe gold bugs, and all sorts of pecioas pleadings are put forth to create alarm, which, when honestly analyzed, amount to about tbe conclusion that the more silver dollars a Government has the worse it is off. If that is true of Govern ments itmust also be true of individuals, banks and corporations generally. It is only required to state to proposition to bring into the boldest possible prominence its fallacy. The question, therefore, arises, what is likely to be the course of the Forty-eightb Con gress on the silver problem? A Washington

correspondent of the New York Commercial Bulletin refers to the subject and says:

The revival of the silver discussion In the press of the country has given rise to much speculation to whether the Fortv-ehjhth Congress, use its predecessors, the Forty-sixth and Forty-seventh, will assume an attitude of "masterly inactivity" la regard to silver. It is but truth to say that among Treasury officials and Congressmen who have been here recently the prevalent belief is that, while the liver question will probably be asitated in Congress this winter, there will be no legislation look ing to the stoppage of the silver dollar coinage. Tbe chief reason assigned for this belief Is the fact that the Issue is still largely sections!. The silver movement of 1877-73, which culmin ated in the passage of the silver bill, was widespread and powerful throughout the West and South so powerful that many Congressmen yielded to its demands Instead ot following the prompt ings of their own convictions. The sectional character of that contest is clearly indicated by an analysis of the votes In the House and the Senate on the passage of the bill over the veto of President Hayes. The bill was passed in tbe IToase ty a vote ot 135 to seventy-three. Of the affirmative votes, ninety two came from the South, eighty-four from the West and only twenty from the East, ot the nega tive vote, sixty-five came from the East and only four from the West and four from the South. Politically the vote stood: Yeas, 117 Democrats and seventy-nine Republicans. Nays, twenty- two Democrats and fifty-one Republicans. The bill was passed in tbe Senate by a vote of forty-six to nineteen. Of the affirmative votes twenty-six came from the South, nineteen from the West and only one from the fcast. Of the negative votes thirteen came from tbe East, four from the South and two from the West Of the affirmative vote twenty-flTe were Democratic aud twenty-one were Republican. Of the negative nine were Democratic and ten Republican. The new apportionment of Representatives has materially strengthened the West and the South inthellonse, as will be seen by the following comparison of the number of Represent tires from the three sections In the Forty-fifth Congress, which passed the silver bill, and in the Forty eighth: Forty- Fortyfifth, eighth. Fastern States ....... 93 Western States . -. 9i 109 Southern ötates 106 121 Totals......... ........293 325 In other words, tbe West and the South are rel atively stronger by thirty-two votes In tne Fortyeighth Congress than they were in the Forty-fifth. If it be assumed that ail of the ninety-fire Demo cratic and Republican Representatives from the East will vote this winter for the stoppaze of tbe silver dollar coinage. It will be necessary to the adoption of the propcsitlon that sixty -eight Southern and Western Representative should also vote for it. It is well known that there are a few Eastern Congressmen who will not vote for the proposition. Hence it is perfectly safe to assume that nothing will be done this winter unless about seventy-five Western and Southern Represent atives are willing to stop, or further to restrict. tbe coinage of the silver dollar. It is only required to read the foregoing statements of the situation to enable those who have entertained any misgivings in regard to the silver coinage question in Conpress, to have their doubts pretty thoroughly dispelled. It has been welt said that the great ma?s of the American people like tbe silver dollar, and that if tbe coinage should amount to ?ö per capita on a population of 55.000,000, it would give a coinage of $275,000.000. This can not be regarded as redundant, since France, with a population of 35,000,000, keeps in circulation $300.700,000 silver com of full legal tender. For the pres ent the gold bags will not be permitted to sit down on tbe standard silver dollar. THE AGE OF MIRACLES. Mr. Matthew Arnold is industriously en gaged in reforming the Christian Church. Why he does cot use his magnificent mental endowments to reform the Mohammedan Church or some other Church still more in need of reformation .'i not stated. Mr. Arnold is just now engaged in a crusade against miracles as taught in the New Testa' ment and elsewhere, and is clearly of the opinion that miracles will have to go, because "miracles have fallen into discredit justly and necessarily, and through the very same natural and salutary process which bad previously extinguished our belief in witchcraft, is to be frankly admitted also." It would appear that Matthew Arnold entertains the opinion that to believe in Jehovah's power to work miracles, or that Christ, while upon earth, did work miracles, is the same low order of credence as the old witchcraft craze, There is, however, this great and astounding difference. A belief in wichcraft is degrad ing, while faith in such miracles as are credited to Christ, elevate, expand and en rapture men's thoughts. To heal the sick, cast out devils, give sight to tbe blind and hearing to the deaf, to enable the lame to walk and to feed famishing . tbous ands with an amount of food scarcely sufficient to supply the wants of a half-dozen people were acts emi nently commendable, good in all regards. Wonderful acts, we admit, and yet they, were performed amidst other works vastly more surprising, and which, to reflecting . minds, excite adoring emotions Just what harm bas come to the world by a belief in God's power to work miracles, Mr. Matthew Ar nold ought to make appear before he invites tne Christian world to abandon its belief in the New Testament record. With this belief vitalizing Christians, they have done what little has been done in redeeming the world from ignorance, from darknes?, from a wilderness. If the belief in miracles ha anywhere retarded human progress Mr, Arnold ought to be able to place tbe facts on record, or, if those who, like hituself, disbe lieve In miracles have been more successful in carrying forward the great civilizing cn terprises which excite hopes of the final tri umph of Christianity than those who have believed in miracles, Mr, Arnold owes it to himself and to his theories to furnnh the needed data. We fail to see why the Christian world would be better off by discarding its belief in miracles It is getting along remarkably well while holding on to that belief. It is tbe Christian tbat builds Hospitals and School nouses. It is the Christian world that takes care of the insane, the poor, and the friendless not to the extent, perhaps, of it's ability, but in a way that promises more glorious results in tbe near future. Would it help on such enterprises te cast aside belief in miracles? Would the benevolent contribute more to works of charity, if they could be pursuaded that Christ did not heal the leper or restore tbe sight to poor, blind Bar ti mas' eyes? or what is still better, would it increase the stride of the men who march in the grand array 0 progress, to convince them that Christ did not possess tbe power to work miracles? Mr. Arnold is of the opinion that some otber things besides miracles will have to go. II says "the materialistic future state, the materialistic kingdom of God, of j our popular religion, will dissolve 'like some

insubstantial vision faded.' But they will

dissolve through the action, through the gradually increasing influence of other and profounder texts of Scripture tbat the popu lar texts on which they base themselves. Using tbe language of accommodation to the ideas current among Iiis hearers, Jesus talked of drinking wine and sitting on thrones in the kingdom of Gcd; and texts of this kind are what popular religion promptly seized and built upon. But other profounder texts meanwhile there were which re mained, one may say, in shadow. 'This is life eternal, to know Thee, the only true Cod, find Jesus Christ whom Thou has sent.' The Kingdom of God is righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.' " When Mx. Arnold triumphs we are to hear no more of miracles; no more of the "New Jerusalem," of harp and songs, streets pared with gold and "the river of life," the reunion of friends, the the "Judgment Day." etc Well, Mr. Arnold has a right to battle for his favorite theories, but when he has been dead a thousand centuries there will be men and women holding fast to the belief that Christ wrought miracles, tbat Heaves is a place as well as a condition. Such things may appear foolishness to Mr. Arnold, but men are now living to say nothing of the dead as brainy as Mr. Arnold, who believe and teach such notions, and since the Christian World is practical and progressive, we fail to see any real good, that can flow from Mr. Arnold's philosophy.

The classification o! States made by the Sentinel a few days since was the same as the foregoing, except in the case of Nevada, which we gave to the Republicans. We do not agree with the Times in elassing New York and Ohio as doubtful States. Ohio has taken herself out of the Republican column, she is an emancipated State. ' Her people have so declared. New York is a Democratic State. Even the local disagreements in Democratic councils could not wrest her from her moorings. The Democratic majority was not what we could have wished it, but it was enough to demonstrate tbe fact that the Democracy rule, and that all that is required to secure the old time majority in 1831 is harmony in the Democratic ranks. Democrats will now organize and harmonize, and in 1884 will carry the country. The facts, tbe figures and the drift point to such a result. PERSONALS. Eues Terby is highly praised by Sara Bernhardt.

Tut cae of the widow of General Col ton vs. Stanford, Crocker aud Huntington, involving 8V 000,000, was opened at Santa Rosa, Cab, Tuesday. The trial will probably occupy three months. Benjamin Franklin Butler, at present sojourning in tbe Old Bis Slate, is winking with both eyes at something which, in the dim distance, is a Presidential boom no larser than a toothpick. Judge Keixet's cancer is another tribute to the power of tobacco. For many years he was an inveterate chewer, and used often to go to sleep with a piece of tobacco in bis mouth, retains on tbo spot where the cancer formed aud grew. Gilbert Coleridge, son of England's Chief Justice, will remain in this country until spring. lie is now visiting points ot interest In New York S ate and Canada, but expects to spend considerable time in Washington this winter.

Letter, tbe Chicago millionaire, says the Washington Capital, is a rply able to keep up the Blaine establishment on a scale befitting its magnificent proportions. He is the "Phoenix City's" Stewart, and, in fact, was one of the New York merchant's most formidable rivals daring the hitter's lifetime. His fortune is estimated at from 17.000.000 to 1 10,000,000. Count von Moltke seldom amoves after dinner. a meal which be always makes a simple one at home. The form in which ha uses tobacco is snuff, and when at work he always has his box at his side. lie is said not to be proud of bis past career in the sense of being inflated by its success and splendor. What ho bas done he looks upon simply ai a performance of duty, Gustavs Fould. the son o! the well-known French Minister ot Finance under the Second Empire, was recently removed to an Insane asylum. Fould is one ol the most notorious characters of Far isla n society. Years ago his family had him placed under a guardian to prevent him from squandering the last remnants at a fortune wbith was once estimated at 12,000.000 franca. Urn Asrr.nsox is not likely to be readily forgotten in England. Twenty-five thousand of her photographs, taken aince her arrirai in England, have been sold, and Mr. Van der Wey do, to whom alone she bas sat. has prepared a photograph of heroic size of "the Grecian maiden." This measures eight feet by three, carbon, and is therefore permanent. This enlargement, on the greatest scale ever taken, is remarkable for perfection of the halt tones and purity of the light. At Berwyn, an unpretentious little station a few miles west of Philadelphia, almost any day in summer or fall one may see step from the train a "countrified'Mooklng man, past middle age, with a heavy, corpulent figure elad in an almost seedy suit and crowned with a worn and battered hat His boots are heavy and clumsy; his shoulders stoop like those of a plowman; his face is broad an 1 brown.

"Bomb very roseate pictures, says the Cleveland Leader, "appeared lit several papers about the time of General Steedman'a funeral at Toledo, having his home for a ru eject.

His Excellency says the Democrats 'have just scraped through in New Jersey.' The fact is the Democrats have just carried the State by the larg est majority they have had for years. His Excel lency mourns for Pennsylvania, which bas turned its back on the Democrats. He well knows that Pennsylvania is a strong Republican protection State, tbat wont Democratic last year after a trian gular fight, and was not expected to repeat tbe ier formance when once the Republican factions were united. No Democrat counts on Pennsylvania at all. His Excellency says: 'Even Maryland is shaken in the wind,' The fact is Maryland has just attested enew ber devotion to Democratic principles by rolling up over 12,000 majority for the whole State ticket, and choosing a Legislature etrougly Democratic." THE SPEAKERSHIP. The Tariff the Basis ot the Canvass Cox Looming Up as a Strong; Candidate. Washington, Nov. 17. The candidates for the Speakership bave settled down to business. Both Carlisle and Cox received a steady round of callers this afternoon. The former bas established another headquarters at the Metropolitan, where Southern members usually stop, and where the Southern vote is to be manipulated in bis interest. When Randall comes it is said be also will bave rooms at an up-town and down-town hotel, choosing Willard's and the KatlonaL; The latter place is tbe resort of Western members. Randall ia not now expected until Monday. It Is re marked as a creditable, though unusual. feature in these contests tbat no free whisky is handed out to caller?. Tbe friends of Cox and Carlisle who called to-day were pleasantly entertained, and tbe political bums who infest Washington and make such canvasses a continual round of pleasure were sent away with the cold shoulder of ice-water. These are naturally disappointed, and are to-night actively discussing a campalim for Speakership as it should be. On former occasions a aood oeal of "red-eye" was disposed of. though Mr. Randall bfs never directly or indirectly countenanced liquor as an electioneering medium or tolerated it about bis headquarters. At present there are so few Democrats iu the city that tbe canvass for the Speakership can not be fairly taid to bave actively commenced. Callers have been many to-day, but they are from the ranks of outsiders, personal admirers and friends of Congressmen who are yet to be caught and landed. Representatives Blackburn and Phil Thompson have tu wen cbargof Carlisle's metropolitan branch and will entertain tbe chivalry. Hon. Jerre Murphy, member from Davenport. Iowa, arrived here last nleht, and bas turned in to work for Carlisle. He thinks Carlisle will be nominated on the firt ballot. Judge Murphy says the three Democratic members from Iowa himself. Cooke and Pusay are for Carlisle, and tbat Welling, the Greenback member from bis State, may be safely counted for Carlisle. 1 it goes beyond a first ballot, Cooke may also give Springer a complimentary vote but he may be counted for Carlisle afterward. "Would vote for Springer myself if he (Springer) had any chance." When asked - why Iowa should be strong for Carlisle, Judge Murphy said: "They represent their constituents. Nine-tenths of tbe Democrats ol my section are for tariff reform and aiainfct protection as protection. The election of Sneaker is of more importauce than any single act of legislation, and when a member fails to represent the known wishes of his constituency he ought to resign. For this reason I don't find fault with a Pennsylvania Democrat for suspecting Kandnii. If 1 bad tcen elected by a protective conKiituency I kiMXild try and represent tneat here. There Is the plain mutter of fact statement of the t-fte. 1 bave nothing against Randall.' lie is au able man and a cood Democrat, and correcilv repfreuts those who rend him here. That is his duty, but while it is bis duty it Is also mine.": tveneral Kosecrans was asked to-day what he thought about the Speakership contest. He said be thought that no one could tell yet how it would come out, but that the chances, in his opinion,

were first for Carlisle and aecond for . There

wi re two positive forces at work, one of which was for Carlisle and tbe other for ftanoall. O ie wa the class w ho U'Oii-ihl tl-e Old lirtu"and tbe present one to high. Such was t'ie view of the Southern and entern members. The other wat o( an exactly opposite opinion. Hotwevn thnse (wo utood Cox, who would be reginied as utisfactory by the low-tsriffmen and would be held as a pretty fair compromise by the ether, simply because lie w a fair man. iu whose honesty tbey could rely. In this way be mttht come in as a rornpromiae, and stood secobd, in his opinion, in the chances for suiresa. TJutler for Cox.

But General Butler, who fceems to know everything, is reported as saytne that Mr. Cox's candidacy i favored by i)emocrai. and tbat it is as uromisine as that of any one else. Mr. Carlisle thiuka "that Mr. Cox wJJlgctawy handsome vote on the first ballot, but that as balloting poes on Mr. Cox's friends will leave biro. Mr. Carlisle expecw to (jet a fair proportion f Mr. Cox a voio. Oh the other had Mr. Pandall'a friends here say tbat the bulk of Mr. Cox's vote will to to Mr. Randall This parceling out of hia strength by other candidates docs not pleaee Mr. Cox. and he estimates tbat it will be found that if there is) any percelhn o it of votes his will be the benefit thereof. He has been a very busy man to-day. Els mail is heavy and his fm-nda keein to be many. Iiis parlors at Willard's are thronged, and when he is not in them he may be seen dashing about town in a coupe hunting up recent arrivals. Mr. Cox gives no figures. CIVIL. BIGUTS. DiKftenting Opinion of Juatlce Harlan, of the United States Supreme Court, In the Citll Rights Cases. Washington. Nov. 17. Justice Harlan, of the United States Supreme Court, In his dissenting opinion in the civil rights cases, says ; "The opinion in these cases proceeds upon grounds entirely too narrow and artificial. The substance and spirit of the recent amendments to the Constitution have been sacrificed by subtle and ingenuous verbal criticism. The Constitutional provisions adopted in the interest of libtrty and for the purpose of 6ecnrinir through National legislation, if need be, rights inbering in State freedom and belonging to American citizenship, bave been so construed as to defeat what the people desired to accomplish, which they attempted to accomplish, and which they tupposed they had accomplished by chanties in their luudameaial law. Tbe Court bas departed from tbe familiär rule rejuiritig an inteipreiion of Constitutional Provision: tuai full eCect be Riven the intent with whlrrh they uere adopted.

CALLING IX THE BONDS. 1 lie Amount nf Conda Redeemed and to be Tuld This Year. Washington. D. C. Nor 13. In the bond call issued for $10,000.003 more of the 3s (here are one or two new points that should receive the attention of banks and others. Ono is, "All of the bonds of this loan will be called by the original numbers only." Again, "Assignments must be dated and properly acknowledged, as prescribed in tbe note printed on tbe back of each bond." In a great many cases holders of bonds send them in without proper acknowledgment of assignment, and they have to be returned. Many others write, asking for directions about assignments, causing delay and useless correspondence. All this trouble can be obviated by strictly following the printed direc tions on the back of the bond itself. The attention of banks is specially called to this matter. This call makes tbe sunt of the calls for the current fiscal year a trifle over $71,000.000 There is a batch of $15,000.000 cilled for December 1, another for the same amount December 15, and this one for $10,000,000 for February 1. There are, therefore, no pavments contemplated for January In addi tion to these three calls of three per centa. the 121st call, which cleared up the Z per cents., amounting to $30,700.000. was within this fiscal year. Treasury officials think that the work öf debt reduction for the year will at least equal $100,000,000. Speaking of Governor Butler, the New York Sun says: He Is a very abandoned and desperate character, if we may believe our now exmtatit Kepublicau contemporaries in Massachusetts, who, by tue may, uicd to suppott him with energy whea he v asa fervid Itepublican. Yet this abandoued and deopeiate character gets 1'tU.OCO votes, and his r'l.teous republican opponent Rets only iso.ouj. And this is a glorions victory. Not a Ueubiica-j victory, but, as the Boston Journal says, a victory "of 'be decent people oi Massachusetts." What an appalling amount of indecent people there must be In Masachnsetts! A Commonwealth in which there are only some ten thousand n: ore ood people than bad people has little causa to tejice over sueh a victory. JJow can the decent n eu sleep o'nlghts when they know that tue margin ol deceiicy is so regietably small A Good Investment.
