The "maudl:n JlagwumpV and the entire Repubilcin pwty bli-M oae of the greatest Generali of fje C jn fed eracy sail away on a foreign mission with letters of credit given him by a Republican administration; t bey ear another "Rebel General" in a Cabinet office. We should think they might look upon another Rebel General peacefully marching up Pennsylvania avenue without thinking it was "a great matter," as understood by the C. G. By the way. it was torrething of "a great matter" fcr General llaTtranft, of Pennsylvania, to be marching at the head of the troops of that State cn the same ocraüon. The first morning after Mr. Cleveland entered the White House, he had everybody out of bed early. The Washington Critic says: President Cleveland Introduced some innovations at the White House yesterday. Tne Executive JIansion had scarcely ever witnessed so eariy a breakfast, and the library, usually controlled until no u bv tfce tweepers and bouse cleaner, was the fiene of an industrious garnering, coaiposed of tne Pie-ident, his Private Secretary and Btenocrapher. at an unprecedentediy early hour. In adaition to this, Mr. Cleveland foum time to receive everybody that wanted to see .n n, and to new the puolta that their wishes were an i. n portent a bis convenience As if this were noteaou;h tor one oav. Mr. Cleveland taugnt tie dl?i.ljd Maii-bal tlmt introductions at a pibl'.c levee are a n;ean'uz'en and Rtnseless formality, and tliat he wou i receive the thonsauds of Cillerj witboat preeataton. A TresMent who is an early riser and a tard orker, and who reyarda convenience and common Feoe as better guides than lime-ßon-ored c istpt". i tmette and precedent, is indeed a urprise. The first day of the new administration was one of surpme at the White IIoue. but one ttat cives Ue utmost Eatlslactiou to ail concerned. THE BIG LAND HIEAL. Senator Van Wyck opened up his batteries yesterday on the recent big.land ateal of Louisiana lands. He denounced It as "infamous," acd tnid it was a matter of sincere regret that the last act of the administration should have beea performed at the dictation and in the interest of corporate wealth. Take a sample cl th'8 Republican's denunciation of, the latest swindle cf his party representatives: What rieht bad the President and Cabinet to waive bmwtn condition? That pivrer was vetted in Ccngma alone. Hut why this hate? Wny should the cl:ris work nichts and insult the religious clement of the Nation by workiutt on Sunday? V. ba ia the necessity, puolic or otherwise? This Republic wis not to per lab on ta 4th of March. Its continuity was not to be disturbed by changing the executive. There was to be no KUtptns-.cn of powers and duties. All other busins In the Interior Department was concluded by March . Ltd other executive departments work their forces nfzhta and Sunday bo tbat the new administration might start with only new busine? The people should ask why this haste? NN as it dangerous to trnot the representatives of the people in the next Congress? Was itdanzerour to trust the Incoming administration to do justice to the men claiming this grant? Was lands won 1.1 b rero?nizMl anrl thnnhltr dnmtln ) ptotected by the incoming administration? If to, then tt evidently bad been Installed too soon, lie deaired to give public notice that tbe legality of tne patents would be contested. o that tbe parchsfers of the bonds now to be issued mi?ht not claim the protection accorded innocent purchasers without notice. BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHET3. A foreigner landing on our shores six months ago and reading the editorial col umna of Republican papers would have Inferred that nothing short of chaos most befall the country within moon ef the election should the Democratic ticket triumph. Manufacturing of all kinds was to suspend eine die. Ohio, Pennsylvania and Connecticut mills were shutting down over the bare possibility of Cleveland's election, never to resume in the event of the possibility becoming a fact. That great American baby elephant, old P. T. Barnum, was going to sell out his 250,000 of real estate for seventy-five cents, and invest the change in two-headed calves, fat women and ringtailed monkeys. The colored people were to migrate, en masse, from the South to avoid being remitted Into slavery. It was even feared that base bail would be abandoned and roller skating akeet out of popularity. Indianapolis would probably surrender her charter, Pogue's Bon submerge the Court-house and, though not threatened in BO ciaoy words, it was apprehended that the

Ir din aiolia Journal might wrap itself in an obiluary notice aad equint itself lata a tireproof ceffia. Eut here we are in the fifth month after the elf ction with increased activity la manufacturing, the general trade improved and improvirg. the great American circus humbug still collecting rents, the colored brother still crooning hit melodies be Ii'.lJ the lone eare a and lithe heeled mole of the Sinthern cotton partition, and the Indiana Democratic Legislature la? pissed the Civil Rights bill.

Ufrp a per rot gfcnirj-. bat sbo-y aa,i jircLl ack from Mr. Porter's elYjrt: The I'rc'idp;: t's Tiew on the i:rprfiori of pcljrtny nrrf not in h-innonv '.vitfi wait ms t-f u iro crouinir Ktitioient of fcN partr, wiiic r. is t o?Pf, l.y t.e'ni nentrnl. if not. to!praP fin the qiKMiou, to make tuolf popular with Mormons and by udmtttiuR I't.ih to malte cure of au al J.tioi al Democratic tftate. This looks very much like some of the old attempts of the ex-Governor in the line of derragegism. The Republican party were in power twenty five years. Why did they cot make a movement during this quarter of a centuiyfcrthesuppresfcionof polygamy? During this ertire period the Mormons lave flonrhhed and increafed as tbey never did befere, and now comes ensof tha Republican army of great fxpectitions and intirxates that the Democratic party are ra- j er ocsible for the prpent status of polygamy. How is it pojsib'e for Utaa to be admitted to tLe Union by the Democrats with the Senate Republican? Another point on this subject. Does Mr. Torter cot kDow tbat the only serious and apprftsive mcvemer.t ajainst the Mormons as made by a Democratic Administration that of Mr. Rochanan? WORTHY TQOU3H NOT CALLED. The readers of tbe Sentinel can readily understand tbat however excellent President Cleveland's Cabinet, the Sentinel would be better pleased with its complexion with Joseph E. McDonald a member of it. Oar ejalted estimation cf the equipment of Mr. McDonald for presiding over a department of atlaiTS has been accompanied by a sense cf State pride. We have felt that Indiana would be admirably illustra'ed In the National Executive Council by oor statesman whose caieer has been replete with good words and work for tbe destiny of Indiana and the Nation wto-e public services have been as able and iatriotic as his private life has been boncrab'.e. We should do Mr. McDonald Jnjastie?, however, as well as President Cleveland, did we express any criticism upon the failure to appoint the former to the Cabinet. We recognize the force of Mr. McDonald's utterance through the Sentinel several weeks e: nee, that the formation of the Cabinet was a matter sovereign to the j adjacent of the Pr eiden t, and that no personal pressure sbccld be brought to bear upon the President by the friends cf any man. We therefore acqnief ce in tbe President's appointment?, and feel asEured they will conduct their several tuteau8 with credit to the administration and to the benefit cf the country. Bat at tbe tame time we know we but voice tbe scrtirxeDt cf tbe Democracy of Indiana (and we mißht say the people of the State, regardlets of party), when expressing appreciation of the earnest effcrls of Senator Voorhees and the Indiana Democratic Representatives who co-operate d with him to obtain the appointment cf Mr. McDonald. DISMAL WAILS. There has been an indescribable but welldefined wail for several days past running through the editorial remarks of several of our esteemed contemporaries of the Blatne persuasion. It is truly touching. Tbe Democratic party successful and it having been finally lettled that the Republican party had no perpetual lease on the administration of the Government are probably the constituent elements of their fearful howl. Let us take some notes. Here is the Commercial Gazette's truly touching wail tbat the country Is on the way to the "demnitloa bowwows": It is shocking that Washington abounds in rumors of miichlef. They teem to come from tbe warring factions of the Democratic party and tbe necessary disappointment of swarms of desperadoes wno look to the change of administration for rich living. Tbey come, too. from the familiarity with which dynamite is dealt with in this country. There has been a scare also growing out of tbe multitude of dark and mysterious passages under the Capitol. We abouid think there would te no difficulty in getting enough reliable Democrats to investigate this morning all possible lurking-places of danger. Then the C. G. presents thirteen distinct "koo-hoos," which if set to music would resemble the famous crying song of "Olivette," when the old man was trying to have her marry the "tad sea dog." Sample the "booboos:" If President Arthur's dignity had been less obstructive. James G. Blaine, the Itepnbllcau candidate for the Presidency, would have been inaugurated to day. If it had not been for the dinner at Delmooico's. where the gentlemen were Invited to "fill their glatte," and to offended the temperance people, and ciillionalrs were ko numerous as to countenance tbe accutation of sympathy with monopoly, Llaine would have overcome all other difficulties and would this day hava been our President if the money sent to be wasted In Indiana had been Judiciously used in New York in counteracting Democratic money poured out in the last week of the campaign Blaine's administration would nave begun to-aay. If it had sot been for the excessive conceit of goodnee s held by a parcel of once Republican editors, who directed the asperities of their alleged views against James G. Blaine exclusively, he would have been inaugurated President to-day. II Mr Blaine's friends in New York bad realized during tbe last fortnight of the campaign that he in danger they could have placed a winning force In tbe fight, and this wonld have been the Inauguration day of the republican canaiuate. There are eight more of aboui the same "heft." Note the last one quoted in the foregoing concerning the placing of a "win nlng force" in the fight. That means money always the right bswer of Republican rascality. Our weeping and inconsolable contemporary, the Journal, appeals to oor

sympathies in the following truly touching Iir.es : O, drive these dark c'ouds from the ikr; Republicans quickly restore: Or take tjs to heaven up ou bleb. Where Democrats corns nevermore. '.mid the exquisite picture of gloom and an r.r charitable daeh at politic tl opponents in ti e fore goirg lines, there breaks forth the day Etar cf hope that tbe iliEh pots of Federnl ratronapa may be restored. We dry cur ejes and prm onward. Oar weeping contemporary Is evidently dhcancerted at a prajtr meeting held in Waetiagtan Monday night for the benefit of tho wicked Democrats. It remark: An "inaugural prayer meet'.ne" was held Irx Waifcineion on Moi.cUy nicht for the pirpose of invokiLg MfRj-iues upon tbe Incoming adminlsration. It was presided ov. r by Rev. lr Bmlett. Witn so ranch bein- done in the way of providing w(,r d!y at.d spirituous refreshments for the Dtmcctatic army of invaders, it is gratifying to le r ti thai thtir spiritual needs Lave not beea cvericcued. ILe Chiccgo Tribune, the charming old threw ard scold of Wes'ern bloody ehirtisui, wails well for the "g. c. p.:'' Intctraldisccrisbave temporarily interruptei its administration. It has defeated ttelf. When trailed it ia invincible. After lour years of par.!frcthlp by tbe party now in power already oangtious.y diriSed In Its cjuncils, unable to look beyond the horizon cf narrD rartissnship, an.1 with no coberencs eic?pt sucu as arises from common intercut in spoils the Republican piny will resume power Jtronjer than ever and look lack upen its defeat as a blcEsin- in disguise. The Tribnno farther wail, bat thinks the "unification"' cf the country i3 one of tae Irig'it feathers in the Republican cap. There never ves -a moment of true "unification" Eince tfce Republican party came into power. The itheient princip'es of the partyits warp and wocf Vs logical tendencies.are ail f L-sir tbe true idea of the "uniEcation" of he country. It ij unmistakably a sectional orpacizsticn. It was conceived, born, bred, lived and died of cectionaHsm. The Niew York Tribune puts its paws on the ferce, and raising its head moonward gives cut this truly beautifel and touching howl to the general contribution: Two h undrcd and fifty rounds of superb reminiscene embodied in General Hancock will be present to-morrow at tbe inauguration of a Democratic President of whose name anl existenc e tue General was as totally ignorant lour years ago as he ws of the tari:?. -Who would have thought" the warrior will ranrtnur raaretfully to hltulf, "thst the dandelion could cast a shadow on ths oak""

TBE CROWMNG INFAMY OF REPUBLICANISM. We ate gradually getting more liht on the last act cf infamy of the Republican party, perpetrated as it was stepping down and out of power. "The ruling passion etrcng in death" has had one more dazzling and brilliant illustration. We refer to the lafct lend eteal of 700.000 acres of Government land. The Washington correspondents are gradually getting at the true invardne5s o! this big $3,000 000 swindle. We published a dispatch last Saturday from the Chicago Tribune, which pave out the impression that the matter was all right; quite innocent, in fact ; the usual thing expfcted of coune, from a party tbat had piled up monuments of big and Infamous swindles. The New York World's correspondent has been looking the affair up, and he uncovers some very interesting details. According to this account, it seems that several weeks ago a large additional force of clerks was put on for the purpose of making cut thesa patents, eo that tbey could all be signed and issued before the change of the administration. These patents ere all signed. There never has been, in the history of the Department, any patents issued for lands where Congress had steamed jurisdiction to raise the question ci the propriety cf the title. This backbone grant has been one of the most notorious of all the isolated grants. It was passed by Congress in 1S71, and was originally made to the New Orleans, Mcksburg and Baton Rore Railroad. The condition was that this load should be completed within five yeats. This company never turned over a spconfol of dirt, and never did anvtMug bejotid the isairg of tome bonds, which were palmed off on a confiding republic. This raihoad on paper transferred the grant to the New O.leans and Pacific Rad, and here now is where Jay Gould comes in, s we suspected and charged in Friday and Saturday's Sentinel. Thia road then eold its charter rights to the Texas Pacific, but reaerved the assigned grant and transferred it to "the American Improvement Company." Gould and ethers owned nearly all this stock, which was a sort of a Credit Mobilier affair. The World's correspondent concludes his investigation as follows: The Backbone grant Is upon exactly the same footing as tne Txas Pacific, which was forfeited by the .Senate the other day. For a number of j ears tbe people wbo held this Backbone grant have tried to get Con ere es to confirm It. The giant has been rejected a Dumber of times, and no becretary of the Interior before Teller would ever coni Ider what was particularly a proposition to help feteal these landa for tbe benefit of tbe rail road lobby. W hetaer there is an investigation of this or not, Mr. Teller will be called upon to explain on tbe floor of the senate bis extraordinary courte In this matter. There la not much doubt that this Gould and Huntington conspiracy also contemplated tbe theft of the Texas PaeiQc lands. If it had not been for tbe Senate action tbe other day in forfeiting this unearned grant there is reason to suppose tbat the interior Department would have issued paten is for the fifteen millions of acres of these lands. 'his outrage was perpetrated by the last Republican administration the day before Cleveland's inauguration. It was the cul mination of aslant conspiracy and a coloaf al swindle all along the line. What an ap propriate cap stone to the monumental infamies of the Republican party ! And they hope to get back into power at the end of four years. Not if the American people are awake. SOCIALISTS VS. ANARCHISTS. Tbe National Executive Committee of the Socialistic Labor party is out in a card reprobating the confusion of the socialistic organization with Anarchists. The card recites that whereas cor tain Irish Nationalists and New York and Chicago Anarchists, under the came cf Socialists or Communists, have openly approved of recent dynamite exploeions and declare them to be the best means for the attainment of the ends of socialism, the National Socialistic party desires it known that that organization abhors and repudiates such acts of violence and condemns dynamitards ss in common with murderers and robbers. An officer of the Indianapolis branch of the Socialistic Labor party writes the Sentinel that his party "acts and agitates in the same way and manner as the Social Democratio party in Germany, by diffusing principles for the betterment cf the organization of society and to elect, wherever it is possible, their representatives Into the law-making bodies, believing tbat the adoption of their principles is essential to prevent a scc'al revolution. We believe that, as society ia organized at present, the condition

of the working classes will grow worse aad a last become unbearable, unless there is a cbarge In tbe organization of society." Havirpr given the Socialistic Labor party tbe benefit cf its repudiation of auachUt design, or of any sympathy with dynamitards. we are constrained to challenge the proposi tion tbat tbere is need for socialistic agitation in our country kindred to tbat it deems needful in Germany. What privilege ran any citizen denre here which intelligence and good character can'notsaenre? The avenues to every avocation and any station are open to every man alike From the Eocialistio standpoint oar lawi are open to no just reproach from the laboring rear. If tfcere tas been legislation fastering momopclies which rcay oppress labor they are political rather than sccial abuses. Society is cct n sponsible for s ach evils, bat rather the corrupt or iil-adyised representatives whom the laboring population aid in sending to tbe halls cf legislation. For the correction cf these evils not socialistic agitation is potent, but intelligent and patriotic astion at tbe ballot box. The evils which American labor has to complain of have come in under the roign of the Republican party. We believe it will be the aim cf the Democratic party to as pon ptly as possible amend the laws in th interest cf the rnassej. The work caiugi acccruplithed in a Jay, nor in a yer. Rat it will ba done as rapidly as possible. Meantime if th9 Sjcitlistis Labor ptrtv people will turn llteir hands to iuditry; bave their children enjoy the benetit3 of e1ccetion which here to fre9 to all; obs?rvd lives of sobriety ami economy; remember that in their hands they hold the strongest corrective of political evil, the ballot; qualify themselves by reading and thought for intelligently exercising the rights of American citizenship we say if socialistic agitation be abandoned for these, ihey will find themtelves contributing to the prosperity and Eocial advancement of the laboring pasple. '

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S INAUGURAL. With tbe better opportunity Groyer Cleveland has afforded tbe country a clearer insight into his bead and heart than it has heretofore had. The inaugural address is accepted as an earnest cf the political ethics which are to inspire tbe administration of the incoming Executive. President Cleveland's utterances need no side notes nor commentary. They are directly stated in unmistakable E glish. Even the more restrictive characterization ot the rustic, referring to a speaker he was listening to, is applicable: Mr. Cleveland "talks United States." Without rhetorical flourish, the address has literary grace; without the least pedantry, it is scholarly. With no affectation of research, it shakes the dust from and spreads out principles and truths underlying the foundation of our Government, but too often lost sight of in tbe later years of the Republic It is a compaot recital of the tenets the observance of which has inured to the glory of the Nation, and an expression of determination that the new administration shall in letter and spirit conform to them. It i3 not possible for words to be woven into sentences or sentences into paragraphs more replete with patriotism. The cardinal thought running through the document is the People. The People constitute the Governmentpublic officers, Including the Chief Magistrate himself, are bat servants. Arrogance and extravagance in official station are condemned as setting hurtful example to the citizenry. In the lines, and between the lines, there is appeal to the People to assert their sovereign authority and held their official employes to a proper recognition and accountal of their trusts. But the address is not limited to generalities as to principles or policies. It is practical. It lays its Hogers on partisan heat aad sectional hate, on ofiice peculation or extravagance, on the "aggressive" foreign policy, on needless protection and taxation, on the purloining of public laDds, on importation of pauper labor. It favors civil service reform and the full rights of freedmen. President Cleveland's inaugural is a broadgauge address, admirable in intelligence and National of spirit. His friends have caue for congratolation: his enemies will find it difficult of criticism. GENERAL GIUN'T. What the Tilbaue and World Say About Ilia Condition. New York, March s General Grant passed a restless night, but slept from 5 to 11a.m. This afternoon Drs. Barker and Douglas, tcgetber with Dr. Shrady, held a consultation, and announce the patient generally better. New Yobk, Maren . me moune ot Mondav savs the bustle and confusion that bave been DOticeable characteristics of the neighborhood where Oer era: Grant ayes, gave way yesterday te the qaietnasa tf Sunday, and the members of his family were disturbed only at rare In tervals by the ringing of the front dsor bell and anxious inquiry as to the General's condition. Under the present Btate of affairs his body is not nourished sufficiently to replace th: enormous waste that is taking place constantly. Though he takes seme nourishment daily in the shape of concentrated food; yet, on account of tne depressed state of his digestive organs, it is cot properly assimilated, and much of the strength that should be derived from the food is lost. From the World to-day: "A rumor is current that the General's ailment is a complication of troubles. It ia even hinted that the sinking spells to waich he has been subject for some time, and which leave him in . a weak condition, are produced by trouble with his heart. His sudden abstinence from tobacco Is said to have developed this feature c f his malady, if it was cot one of the contributing causes to produce it. It is reported that at the General's urgent request Rev. Dr. John P. Newman, tormerly with the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, now in California, has been written to concerning the former's condition, and has been asked to visit Grant's family as soon as possible." Tire Caused by h ticape ot Natural Gas. Lebaso, Pa., March C A terrific scene was witnessed cn the farm of Abraham Kreider at WrJghtaville, six miles from here. An eight inch pipe which carries oil from the oil regions to the seaboard passes through his premises. Tbe pipe burst in some mysterious manner, the oil flooding the neighboring field. This oil was set on fire by sparks from a pausing locomotive, and a terrible conflagration spread over a Urge space

of ground, the names shooting heavenward for fifty feet. - At one time the cil in the field was several feet deep in places, and the seething, rearing flames presented a magnificent sight. Sonij of tbe farmers turced out en masse, aad wit a picks end tbovels threw a high embankment arcutd tbe entire space in which the Hirnes were confined, and many of them male rerv r arrow escapes from being terribly burned. These embankments were thrown np in order to prevent burnirjg oil from rmbing into barns and hon?esand doing much greater darcsge. Flcaily tbe oil was stopped off at its source of Fupply. after it had burned furiously for rearly twenty hours, and ths farmers only keeping it back by bravely figbtir g the flames. The quantity of oil consumed was enormous.

Des Moixeo, March 3. Governor Sherman this afternoon served notice on Auditor Brown, suspending him fron the ofiice and appointing J. W. Cottell, formerly Auditor of State, Auditor pro tern. The notice states the suspension ia made because of Brown's failure and refusal to account for certain moneys and property of tho State intrusted to him Auditor. Cottell,. who had filed his bond, accompanied the officer serving the notice, ready to take possession of the nfF.ee, but Brown lelr.sed to surrender the ofiice or th i books and papers. It is understood the Governor bad the olSca of the Auditor examined by tbe Ccmmiesionere, and that the Commissioners reported the state of the facta which made it mandatory on the Governor to suspend the Auditor. The matters of alleged delinquency on the Auditor part, on which tbe Governor baa acted has nothing to do with the complaints made against Brown in connection with the examination of the insurance companies. The Commission did not inquire into that matter, but only detailed the management of his ofhee and acts. Brcwn says tbe complaints against his office are unfounded; tbat tbe Governor has not power to suspend him, and that he will reßist in the courts, and has employed counsel to this end. It is said the Governor will arrest him in the morning if be attempts to take charge of the office. Satisfaction Over Black Appointment. Dakvillb, I1L, March 9 General J. C.

Habitual constipation Is not only one of the most unpleasant, but at the same time one cf the most injurious conditions of the human system, and is but a forerunner of disease, unless removed- This is usually accomplished by the use of purgatives, wh'ch for the time afford relief, but after their immediate effects have passed they leave the system in a worse 8 täte than before. To effect a cure it is necessary that the remedy need should be one that not only by its cathartic effects relieves the bowels bat at the same time acts as a tonic, so as to restore the orgaca to a sound, healthy condition.

A FATAL LOCOMOTIVE.

Twice Wrecked at the Same Spot, ami JFö w Exploding Not Far Away From It. Wilkksbabke, Ta , March (.."! hear tLrrt a lcbmotive known as the Oakland Mew up' I the other cay on the Sbarpsville Railroad and killed her engineer," said Abel Garrett, a veteran railroad man, ' and that reminds me of two singular! accident that happened to the faxe lecsmotive. In the spring of 1ST1 Charley Gteece was her engineer. He was backing with her toward Sbarpsville. Besides the engineer and fireman a weigher in one of the mines named Reilly wa riding in tbe cab. When two miles from Sbarpsville a cow suddenly ran out of the woois and jumped on the track in front of the tsnder. The tender etruck tbe cow. and both it and the engine were thrown offot th9 track, the tender tumbling down the bank on one side of tbe track and tbe engine on the other. Fbe rolled over and plowed her dome into ibe soft ground almc?t up to the boiler. Reilly was killed and the engineer and fireman badly hurt. When the engine was raiied tbere was a big hole left in the ground wtere the dome bad buried itself, and it g .t to be quite a land mark. '"In ibe summer t n years later Dob Logan WCs runnier the Oakland, and oae dahs we s tacking toward Kharpsville. At exactty the rame soot where the cow had appeared on tbe track in 1S71 a big hog came slouching Iroui the fitJe of the railroiJ, and put itself square iu front cf the tender. Ti e tmrk struck it. and the tender wa raised ofJtbe rsJJs, acd it rolled to the posit o-i it bed been thron in before, and theeacine pitched off tna other id-j ami tntnhted over o tbat tbe dome bude t ili-:f Jn the hole it had made in the ground whei it w&i throjen down ihe bi. k ten prs befote.
