The State Department at Washington has received over $1,200 contributed for the relief of the Charleston earthquake sufferers by chari tabid Chinese merchants of Shanghai. This L? indeed heaping coals of fire upon the American head. Ir this thing keeps on much longer, we fear the Sentinel will be forced into skepticism regarding the efficacy of prayer. It has prayed with Brother Robinson earnestly, tearfully and long, but still he repents not Richmond Telegram. Cat the persistent prayers of the righteous are eaid to avail much, and we shall continue our supplications. The discussion of the pleuro-pneumonia bill in the lower house of Congress yesterday developed a strong opposition to the meas ure. Eeveral members opposed it on the ground that it comtemplated a dangerous infringement of the rights of the State, and would work great injury and injustice to farmers by subjecting them to the interference of Government officials. Senator Frye yesterday interrupted a de bate to read to the Senate a dispatch he had received from a Maine sea-port giving the rather startling information that twenty-five British vessels had chased a herring school within the American shore line, and were protected from American interference by an English cruiser. It is about time that Uncle Sam should pick up his fowling-piece and go gunning. The Conservative leader of the House of Commons said. In the course of the debate on the Queen's speech,' that the British Governrrent was most anxious to do everything in its power to effect a satisfactory settlement of the fisheries dispute. So, al30, are the American people, and they are very anxious to fight for a settlement if it can be effected in no other way, and a large number believe that it can ody he settled by a fight. Despite the apprehension that we may be upon the verge of a war with Great Britain, the United States Senate has passed the Hou3e bill giviDg pensions to soldiers deperdent upon their own labor for support. This will tend to make enlistments in the next war exceeditgly popular. The Government that cares so liberally for its defenders will never stand in need of them. At the same time, it is well to remember that the ex-soldiers of the country have much'reason to bless the present Democratic Administration. Sksatob Teller yesterday defended the American "House of Lords' in his speech opposing Senator Beck's bill prohibiting Senators from acting as attorneys of railroads. He had discovered that some people were disposed to abolish the .Senate altogethsr, and he protested with a vigor which indicated that he feared he might lose his situation. The gist of his argument seemed to be that, because Senators did cot represent the people, but the Etatea, they were at liberty to accept retainers as railroad attorneys. It was rather a novel position, to say the least. Tnt half-horse and Lalf-alliga'or liquor regulation plank of the Republican platform has returned to plague Its inventors. Now that the General Assembly is in session and the forks of the road have been reached, the republican nem jers are divided In opinion as to the meaning of the plank, and they are ery greatly distressed as to th course they houid pursue. They will succeed, probably, a betraying the. confidence of everybody. c During the campaign the agents of the Ilerstllcäa, EUte Central Committee went ibout the State interpreting the declaration according to the sentiment of different comlenities. Ia these counties where local r. pi ion was popular it was shown to mean I cxal option. In other counties where the people preferred high license it was held to mean i!gh license. In still other counties where Ihe people were opposed to disturbing the resent laws the missionaries read it accordgly ; while in the immediate neighborhood If breweries and distilleries they awore by U that sacred that tho plank meant a?

disturbance of the liquor business. It is not surprising, therefore, that the Republican caucus should stew and fret and quarrel over the question involved. The Sentinel took especial pains to inform the people of the State that they voted in the air when voting for republican legislators, so far as the regulation of the liquor traffic was concerned.

CIVIL SERVICE ABOMINATIONS. The doctrine underlying the civil service law has not grown in favor. The reform goes backward. Though it is very far from being a laughing matter, ridicule is killing it. We have not the slightest doubt that if the Republicans should again obtain control of the legislative and executive branches of the national Government the law would be repealed at once. Its operation has been found productive of insolence in office, just as the opponents of the law predicted when it was first submitted. It is fastening upon the public service a breed of emasculates who are despised by men who appreciate the privileges of American citizenship, and it is doing incalculable harm by rewarding with office these who either have "kept out of politics" or who agree to abandon politics upon taking office. That every man should take part in the political movements of his time, even to the extent of active and aggressive partisanship, if necessary, is essential to tie well-being of the country. To say in reply that he should do this without hope of office-reward is to beg the question. The' very worst feature of the civil service law is that it offers inducement to citizens to keep out of politics, and seeks eo punish officeholders who take a lively and militant interest in political warfare. This was shown in the last campaign In this State. It is idle to say that the civil service law only operates as to minor clerkships. Backed up, as it is under the present administration, by supplemental presidential mandates, and by new regulations conceived in the spirit of the law, the curse of it rests upon every department of the Government. During tjte campaign to which we have just referred, gentlemen formerly prominent in the political struggles in the State asked to be excused from speaking and other party service, because they had been warned that thoy would do so at the peril of their positions. It was a very lamentable state of affairs in this supposed-to-be free country. It can not be gainsaid that under the present political dispensation a maa may not take office without abdicating hla citizenship. Neither can it be gainsaid that those who have taken office and laid down the privileges of their fellow-countrymen have lost in popular respsct. They can not but feel that the Administration has put a stigma upon them, for they are made to stand in the position of accepting office as the price of forfeiting their citizenship. "We refer to those whose sense of self-respect has survived. There are others, however, who have made the forfeiture cheerfully, and who go about cringing and boot-licking, and making parade of the fact that they are out of politics. These are utterly contemptible, and receive the merited scorn of all men who glory in the privilege of party service. It is not because the President enforced the civil service law that Democrats com plain, but because he has made the existence of the law an excuse for making rules and regulations amplifying its scope. He has set up a dynasty operated by petty tyrants, lickspittles and knee-crooking courtiers, rather than an American administration fall of the vigor of American manhood and quickened by the spirit of an encouraged and victorious party. The law affected a small groap of minor office, holders whose efficiency has certainly not been improved by it, but the President and his Cabinet have made some laws ot their own. having the civil service law as a precedent. It is against these regulations authorized by the President tbt the Democrats protest particularly. The civil service law was a small evil ; it has bred greater and more serious ones. The advocates of the civil service law are very quick to state that there is nothing in it which affects a man's right to vote and work for his party. But this is the very thing the laws made by the President does. The Sentinel is in favor of a very thorough reform of the civil service as it is operated to-day. - THE COLD SHOULDER AGAIN. The defeat by the Senate of the preposition to snbroit to the States a constitutional amendment giving the ballot to women shows that, despite forty years of aggressive effort on the part of the female entiragtsta, the cause makes little, if any, headway. Only about one-fourth of the Sanators favored it, and among those who voted in the affirmative there were several who may be suspected very properly of making a bid for something, while -there were others whose terms expire with the close of the present session of Congress. We doubt very much if half a dozen of the Senators who gave their votes for the proposition would have done eo had they believed their votes were essential to its success. The chief obstacle thoss who are in favor of universal suffrage have had always to en counter has been the lndifierence oi the great majority of women. The movement has been like nnto that which was inaugurated by the Three Tailors of Tooley Street. The compara tively few who have given their en ergfes to the catue have had the ability to raiee a great deal of dust and noise, ani have always been able to convince them selves that they represented the roost of man kind, when in fact they represented them selves only. The following was an interesting incident of the debate, as given in the press report: Mr. Eustls Inquired of Mr. Dolph whether be did not think, If woman had the right of suffrage. the ought alo to be required to serre on juries. Mr. Dolph said that that did not necessarily fol low. There was no connection between Jury service and right of saCrae. Bat ia Washington Territory, wLere women bad the right of suffrage, they alo nerved on juries, and to Hie g-roat satisfat Hon of Judges and lawyers. Mr. L'uttis understood that under all Plate hws tliofe duties were considered correlative. lie af Led whether It was a decent spectacle to take away a mother from her nursing Icfint and keep her up all night, sitting on a jury. Mr. lHlph replied that there was nothing In that suggestion, because no woman under such cir cumstancea would be required to serve on a jury. Mr. Dolph's reply was not sufficient. Mr. Enstia atruck the very essence ot the question. Nature has drawn a line, and Mr. Kuatia revealed it very clearly. Into his illustration o Cvmpressed volumes of ar

gument. If women shall ever beglven the ballot it will be without the privilege of exemption from the civic and military duties that go with it. If she shall vote, she must serve the State, nature and domestic obligations to the contrary notwithstanding.

It is not to be supposed, however, that the vote will crush the spirits ot those engaged in the movement. The cause finds a buoyant factor in the sentiment of mutual admiration which its devotees entertain, and the charm of the foot-lights is ever potential. It is the privilege of free public speaking, guaranteed by the Constitution, that keeps the cause alive. To be quoted in the papers is the chief ambition of a great many people. THE WAR-CLOUD. The news from Canada is not reassuring to tboca who may have entertained the idea that, despite the tone of the debate in the United States Senate, there was little danger of war with England over the fisheries qaes tion. The English Government has promised to send war-ships to the Canadian fishing grounds in the early spring to maintain the Canadian fishermen in their construction of the treaty. This seems to be an intimation to the United Stated Senate that it will have to recede from its position. The condition of things ii very critical, to say the least. We do not believe that the United States will give an inch. This Government is not compelled to yield anything against its wilL We have both the men and the money to make it a fight, If it shall come to that The British Government depends upon the strength ot its navy. The American Government has indeed, no naval arm to be proud of, neither did it have a century ago, but it won upon the high seas nearly all the battles. Uncle Sam is a man of resources and he will not be long in finding a way to maintain himself with his usual credit if it is to be war. I'rom the tenor of the dispatches the Englishman appears to think that the Amer ican's pocket is his vulnerable point. This is pre-eminently the view of an Englishman. Admitting that he carries his own heart in his pocket, it is natural that he should conclude that the American is as sensitive in that spot He mistakes his man. The aver age American is fond of achieving a differ ent task for the glory of succeeding, and there is still in the American soul a patriotic prompting that will leava dandolla rs cents altogether out of account when it shall be known that the honor of the flag is in peril. The intimation that a conflict with England over this question might precipitate another civil war in this country the West against the East is absurd. En gland does not seem to understand that the traditions of the Revolution are still cherished in this country, and that the American people would scarcely fall to beating one an other's heads when there was an opportunity to whack the pate of the British Lion. Irishmen and Irish-Americans are scattered too thickly over the face of the country from the beaches of the Atlantic to the Golden Gate. If it shall come to a war there will be many a shot fired with a double purpose one for the American fisherman and the other for old Ireland. THE SOLDIERS' MONUMENT. The nation that erects splendid shafts to commemorate the glorious deeds of its heroic dead builds wisely. Such monuments quicken the patriotic impulse in the hearts of the youth of the land. They stimulate ambitions that are apt to grow languid in the routine of money-getting vacations, and point perpetually to high and noble thing?, inspiring the young to emulate the honorable achievements ot those who have made their country great among the nations of the earth. The people of Indiana could not do anything worthier to themselves than to erect at their capital city an imposing monument to the honor of Indiana's soldiery in the Civil "War. The people are rich enough to spend the means by which it could be built It is a question of gratitude purely, and it should be built while there yet live many of those who gave the State so much of which she could be proud. They should be permitted to look upon a majestic evidence of Indiana's appreciation of tbeir devotion to the flag of the Union. The bill betöre the Legislature appropriating ?20O,0O0 for this purpose ought to be passed. With that Bum a monument can be built which will be eloquent of the grateful remembrance of the people of Indiana. If the money is not in the treasury it can be borrowed readily enough. It ia a small sum for the 2,000.000 inhabitants of the State to contribute to such a cause. Propositions to divide the sum in order that a number of small shafts could be scattered about the State ought not to be entertained for a moment There is but one spot where it should be erected in the heart of the capital city. If the Stale were so geographically and topographically constituted that it had a particular gateway through which trade and travel entered, there would be some reason for putting the nonument there, but as its borders may be crossed at any point and from all directions, the capital city offers the only reasonable place for its accommodation.

CONCERNING MEUCCI'S CLAIMS.

Bell Telephone Attorneys Instructed to Get Possession of the Same, It Possible. CniCACO, Jan. 31. The Evening Journal has another article respecting the priority of the Meucci claim to the telephone Inventions, and eays: "The, 'stories of the M'uecci claim coming to the ears of the Bell Telephone Compmy three years ago, and with due ret pect for the menace which It made ot possible disclosures regarding the same which were not altogether pleasant their attorneys were instructed to get possession of tha same, if possible. A sworn statement of Mr. William W. Goodwin, of Philadelphia, deposes: 'That on or about the 2d day of August a gentleman named Mr. E. B. Welch, an official of the Bell Telephone Company, No. 95 Milk street Boston, Mass., and President of the Mexican Bell Telephone Company, wrote a confidential letter to Antonio Meucci, who was at 8 taten Island. atktog fc? a statement of tu? details of bis Invention, and requesting an early answer. Mr. Meucci referred Mr. Welch to his friends and attorneys, Messrs, Lemml and Bertolino, under date of August 4, to whom, August 9, 1 S3, Mr. Welch responded, saying he would ILke copies of the caveat that had been filed by the Italian; also would like to learn whether Mr. Meucci made any telephones at the time on or before filing the caveat 'I would like to make an arrangement,' continued Mr. Welch's letter, 'with jou, as his attorney, to bring out his inventions and to defend his rights.' "To this Meucci's attorneys replied, inclosing "copies of caveats. Thereupon Welch telegraphed under date August 15, 1883, asking them to name the lowest price, also saying 'Better keep open for offer ; can sell here.' On August 1 1 Messrs. Lemmi and Bcrtolinio wrote a letter of explanation of Meacci'e inventions. On the 25th of the same month the attorneys telegraphed Welch 'Last o3er received 810,000; can you raise It.' The same day Welch telegraphed. 'Can get much larger sum than the ofler you report; letter mallei this evening.' The letter mentioned wss received next day and read as follows: 'I telegraphed you today asklug you for lowest price, telling you to keep open for offer, can sell here; also think for your interest as well as for Meucci's. Give me a chance to make a negotiation here.' "In a letter dated Boston, August 1, 1SS3, Welch said, among other things: 'If you have a good and sufficient evidence to establish the iact tbal Meucci made a telephone (one or more) in 1371, '72 and '73, and described the same in a caveat filed in the Patent Office. I am decidedly of the opinion that his rights can be sold for a much larger sum than named in your telegram, I15 J,000, and ii you and Mr. Meucci will agree to give me one-half of the amount that I can . sell it for over S1S0.O0O, I shall be very glad to make the sale without any expense to you or to Mr. Meucci, if Mr. Meucci's claims, as stated in your letter revived this morning, can be substantiated by axple evidence. He antedates not only BeU but I.-awbough and McDouough also, and $180,000 is too small a sum of money to soli his rights for at this time. I would be glad to have you telegraph me to-morrow whether you are disposed to entertain my proposition. I will be at No. 95 Milk street, Boston, until 4 p. m., after that at No. 823 Main street Cambridge. "If Mr. Meucci' case Is such that a patent can be obtained his rights are worth not less than sooo,000, and I should expect to obtain $1,000,000 for thera. I know the value of the telephone, also know bow to negotiate such a case as you represent Mr. Meucci's to be." "As a result, Mr. Lemmi went to Boston, and recites under oath that he met Mr. Welch, who desired to obtain control of the caveats to show to his friend, but the attorney declined to part with them. Mr. Welch, it is claimed, was unable to present a definite proposition on that day, and on the following day the Meucci claim was gold to a Philadelphia syndicate." The article recites other correspondence which, it is claimed, passed between some of the representatives of the Bell Company and the owners ot the Meucci claim relative to a purchase, but which did not result in anything. The Million-Dollar Loan Bill. My Judge Lewis Jordan. I notice from a statement made bylhechtirmRn of the Ways and Means Committee (Mr. Caven) and Mr. Grose that the State-house Commiss!oncrs aresking that 320).OOd more shall be provided for completing the building and $70,000 for furnishing and its care. These are two of the items named In the statement showing the necessity for making a loan of $1,000,000. In order to understand lully the condition of tbe State-house funds let us turn to the report of the Auditor, page 19. The report gives the condition of the fund at the close of the last fiscal year, Octeber SI, 1SG. Up to that time there bad been paid out on the State-house for all pu'poscs $1,S.9,3j9.9J. Of this the sum S1GI.9S3.C9 was for commlssoners and tecretary's salary, architect's percentage, etc , which items, it has been decided, can be expended above and In addition to the $2.000,000 the limit for the cost of the buildin?. Part of the loan (1150,000) made two years ago was set aside for furnlshiug, and this sum ought certainly be enough for that purpose without, any additional appropriation. Now, the money derived froiu the 8tate-house tax goes into the Treasury for that purpose, as also the money received for the Statehouse loan, and can not be drawn out for any other puipose. The Auditor's report shows that f221,SU3.93 of that money was In the Treasury October 31. This was actual cash. Let us see if any very large provision, if indeed any, is necessary byway of a loan to complete, furnish ani pay all expenses of the State-house, A concise statement of the above facts will show that the State house fundi are in a very healtny condition. First, how much can be expended by the Commissioners if they keep within tbe law? Cott of building, limit ,000.000 00 Cost of furulshiug. limit 130.000 00 Commissions, fee, etc, of which there has already been paid SKVl.0ü.l9, say until the close the balance Oi 200.000 00 Total co6t Of this amount there had already been paid up to Octocer 1 11,809,359 99 In treasury at that date belonging to fundi 221,303 93 2.350,000 03 2,030,063 97 Balance necessary to complete . f.;i9,3:yj 03 But this sum, since the Auditor's report, has been cut down by tbe tax received at the Decern her settlement, say IC5.000. It will be further reduced In May from the same source $70,000, and at the close ot 1SS7 by the last aniouut received from the Btate-houso tax, eay $75,000. These sums received from tho State-houso tax make l-'lo.OOO, which, taken from the 1119.333.0?, leaves enly S109.33Ö03. There is quite a wide margin between this sum and the 270,COO which Mr. Grose by his Stats loan bill proposes to provide for the State house funds. But it will be noticed iu my calculation I proceed ujon the supposition that the SUte-houso Commissioners will expend every cent of the 12,000,000 and tvery cent of the $150,000 for furnishing, and that I calculate that they wlllfpend the difference between $:00.0u0, in my estimate above, and the fl01SO.C9 for their own fees and architect percentile. It is not to bo presumed that they will figure so closely, but from prudence will leave a safe margin of some $75,000 or S1C0.0OO. Ii they do this It can readily be feen from the above statement that it Is not nccesrary to provide 1 cent by way of loan to complete the State-bouse, furnUh it end pay the outside expenses. Two years ao it became absshitely necessary to make a loan of S5C0.CO0 for the State houso and a loan of JGOO.ooo to pay on the new Insane hospital, an3 although the republican members of the Legislature voted for these loans, the Democra party was charged on every stump and la eve Republican paper in Indiana with havlcg increaRtd the State debt, and the tax payers were given to understand that the loans were unneces sary. It the Republican LTouse of Representatives at thisicfslotpasaa bill authorizing a further loan of f l.OOO.COO, they will be held to a strict account

ability and required to show that that amount was absolutely necessary. Of eounc there must be aloan for some amount, as the new nospitals must now be paid for, although Republicans as well as Democrats voted to build them and are equally responsible ior the necessity of making tbe loan. II will be (seen by aa examination of the Auditor's report that he estimates the expense of the State for 1H8 at S1.287.M1 and tor 1889 at $1.383.&H, but in these amounts he says be does not Include the expenses of running the three new hospitals. Be does, however, include 123,000 each year tor public printing and why Mr. Grose, In h?s estl-mt'-es showing the necessity for a loan, should take as a basis to start on these figures of tbe Au dltor and then add to them the sum of $25,003 for public printing, I can't understand. In fact his whole statement is so gross that the necessity for ?e loan of $1,000.000 does not clearly arpear. His statement that there are "3,600 insan not In poor-

bptiFCs aid hospitals, and that the insane are in creasing at the rate of 400 per year" is another such a grors statement made at the same time, that tie members should examine very carefully btfore they act, any statements coming from that gentleman. Now as to the statement made by Mr. Caven. Be gives the deficit as stated by the Auditor, $tXC,000, and then adds to this, as I understand him, the 8270.0C0 asked by the State-house Commissioners. As the Auditor included in his state ment $150,000 for this same purpose, Mr. Caven counts that sum twice in his statement. But if I am correct in my statement in regard to the condition of the State-house funds, neither the amoun: stated by the Auditor or the Aommissioners should be considered. The members of the Legislature doubtless desire to provide for the money necessary to pay all necessary appropriations, but I hardly think they will make a loan for tl.OOO.CCO, when $300,000 or f loo.ooo of ttc amount will lie idle In the treasury. Iu this connection It is well to note that Mr. Caven states that during the past ten years the extraordinary expenses of the Stato have been 5J.100.OC0. These extraordinary expeuses Include tbe payment of tbe old internal improvement bonds, the building ot the new Ineans Hospital for women at Indianapolis, enlarging the prisons and the Reform School f jr boys, S50.C00 to the flood sufferers and improvements on all our State Institutions, and tbo Martin ciain, SöO.000. When it Is remembered that all tbls was done and the current expenses of the State also paid out of a 12cent levy, with the addition of $1,100,003 b wro wed. the Democratic party may well feel proud of tha financial management of the State. During all this time the ordinary current expenses of the State, excluding interest on the public debt, were lets than $1,000,000. The record is unsurpassed by that ol any other Government of 2.000.0C0 pecple. Before closlDg I can not retrain from alluding to the brilliant financial proposition of a Mr. Van Sivke to borrow another million to create a sink ing fund for the liquidation of temporary loans. This bill might be entitled "An act in the interest of tbe State Treasurer." The Idea of borrowing money to create a sinking fund is rather a novel one. THE WEEK'S NEWS.
