Ia this they do not tell the truth, bat it is true that the message is just what the people wanted. The people are hon eBt, and they are going to stand by an hon est President. The contest over Lamar's confirmation will do good. It points oat to the country the danger to which it is exposed in the Confederate attack upon the Supreme Court. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. There seems to be an opening for Marat Halste ad to suggest the murder of Mr. Justice Lamar, as he suggested the murder -of Abraham Lincoln. The great work of organizing the Republican party of Indiana for the campaign begins today. The particular work is choosing county committeemen. The Journal says: "Let no man be taken who has an ax to grind," when in fact no man will be taken who hasn't an ax to grind. Find a Republican without an ax to grind, and he takes precious little stock in the success of the party. Tue Chicago Herald analyzed John Sherman's speech and record, and concludes that what he has done and what he wants to do is far more dangerous to the life of the nation than anarchy. John Sherman wsnts to rob the people in the interest of monopolies, and he ia the man who, in affiliation with Lize Finkston, stole the Tresidedcy to perpetuate the rule of the republican party. John is a bad egg. Senator Ixkall burned library contained 15,000 volumes, Baid Mrs. Ingalls. "I do not say, like the defeated general, 'All is lost save honor;' "but when I look around on my seven children and my husband, all alive and well, I do feel like saying, with something of a sense of triumph, 'All is cot lost by a good deal.'" The world likes a plucky woman, and Mrs. Ingalls seems to be of that sorL Some one wants to build a $1,000.003 'White House a sort of a palace. One crank suggests crystal as the proper material. The old mansion, it is thought, should be pensioned and used for business purposes entirely, while the Presidential palace should be at least a mile away. It is not to be presumed that the old White House will answer for residences and offices much longer, and when the new house is ordered it will be a palace of aristocratic dimensions and style which will make crowned heads envious. Goveesob Hill, of New York, has acted wisely In removing from Friday the stigma of "hangman's day." The fool idea that Friday is an unlucky day, or that murderers should be hanged on Fridays, has disgraced our civilization long enough and Governor Hill by ordering a miscreant to be hnng on Monday is a move in the right direction. Judges throughout the country should at once fall into line with Governor Hill's new departure, and if they do not, Governors should grant respites to some other day. Friday has been sufiicently degraded. Thk Republicans are about io adopt the free whisky plank. Free whisky means the surrender of $70,000,000 revenue, and the New York World says "the canting, hypoCritical Republicans will vote to repeal it in order to perpetuate for another generation the war duties upon the food, fuel, clothing and shelter of the people," The case is now before the people. If the people demand free whisky instead of less tax on the absolute necessities of life, they are goisg to have a chance to say so. The whisky tax oppresses no one, inconveniences no one. The Democratic party is ready for the fray. Thz strongest argument against federal aid to schools in the ex slave States is adduced by their own best men. They say the gods help those who help themselves. They fear the effect of dependence on a paternal government. Tney fear that after seventy-seven millions have been expendei a cry will go up for more that a precedent will be established that will destroy self-reliance. The argument is the same that many a fond father has felt the force of when, after expending his fortune in crder to educate his sons, he has found that he has ud fitted them for the battle of life and made them weaklings and dependents. Chicago Times. If half that is told is true, the demand of the times is to find a way to keep educated men from stealing railroads, public lands, and from concocting schemes to rob the people in a variety of ways quite too numerous to mention. Such men as Stanford, Gould, Huntington, Sage, Crocker, et al, have too much education and not half enough conscience. There is education enough in the country, unless it can be vastly improved. A thousand illitcrate men are not as great a calamity to a 13tate as one educated rascaL A great many -men are opposed to a game of draw-poker. That ia commendable, but the same men are jilte Incapable of seeing anything wrong in such transactions as Senator Stanford and his pals engaged in, by virtue -of which they perpetrated robberies amounting to millions. What is really wanted ia to watch educated rascals. They are the dangerous clasa. The "Winchester, Va., Times states exceedir.ly wholesome truths as follows: From its. birth the Republican party has been engaged in the work of building up monopolies and erecting privileged classes. It was thus that the power and wealth of the present nobility of England were in great measure constructed. In the age of Elizabeth the foundations of their great fortunes were largely laid. The courtiers atd favorites of that great Queen were invested with exclusive privileges in every branch of English trade and manufacture. In the natural coarse of events the favored few acquired enormous wealth, wLi'e the great rxuss of British subjects -were permanently consigned to a position

of inevitable poverty as long as those privileges existed. We have seen a similar result In this country In the last twenty-five years. Every possible monopoly in every species of trade has been created by law until the Government itself was, during Republican administration, dominated and overshadowed by the vast power of accumulated wealth. The time has come for monopolies to stand aside. The demand is that they shall no longer dominate the Government. The many are no longer to be taied that they may increase their riches. Laws, under which the people have been robbed, are to disappear. Honest methods of Government are to be reinstated. The demand is for an era of honesty, which is sure to be Inaugarated if Grover Cleveland is reelected.

COMMON SCHOOL EDUCATION. Tnere is to be no let up in the discussion of what common school education ought to be to make the system perfect. Some time ago a committee of the Presbyterian Synod of Kew York was required to consider the propriety of incorporating into the course of State and National in struction the following religious truths as a groundwork of National morality :" 1. The existence of a personal God. 2. The responsibility of every human soul to God. 3. The deathlessness of the human soul as made in the image of God, after the power of an endless life. 4. The reality of a future spiritual state beyond the grave, in which every soul shall give account of itself before God, and shall reap that which it has sown. The New York Bun, in commenting upon the foregoing, remarks that "in a country like this, where there is no State Church, and where not even Christianity is recognized as a State religion, it seems to be impossible to logically and justly enforce any sort of religious teaching in schools supported by general taxation. If, therefore, the different churches regard such teaching as an imperative necessity, apparently the only course for them to take is to set up schools of their own. Bat then would come np among Protestants also the question which has been raised by the Catholics, as to whether the State cm rightly compel people to contribute to the support of schools of whose instruction they disapprove; and the permanence of the whole public school system would be endangered." There ought to be an easy way out of such a muddle. The religious objections to the common school system never had any merit in it The common schools teach the trutaThey do not antagonize the truth. No text-book of the common schools, from A B. C. to the Sixth Reader, seeks to inculcate falsehood. There is nothing unchristian in "reading, riting and rithmetic." The three R's are solid on moral questions. There is no Infidelity in grammar, arithmetic, natural philosophy, or any study taught in the free schools of America. Manifestly the groundwork of national morality is to have truth loving, truth speaking men and women, honest men and women, and nothing is taught in the common schools in opposition to such things; on the concrary, the teaching is all in the direction of truthfulness and integrity of life and character, and that is religious teaching. It might be well enough, however, to have text books on ly ing and stealing, and still another bringing into the boldest possible prominence the sublime precept: "Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets." This done, the wrangle about religion in the schools could be dismissed . A precept that teaches the law and the prophets is enough. There ia not the 'lightest probability that the comsaon schools will ever be made to teach any par liular religious dogma. The moment that is done the common school system disappears. The glory of the Government of the United States is that it don't dabble in religious controversies. It don't belong to spy sect. Church and State are absolutely divorced, and church and free school are divorced. Men frequently deplore the existence of parties and sects. No greater calamity could befall the State than to do away with parties and sects. They watch each other, and are therefore of incalculable service. The school should be kept within the realm of theknowable. The unknowable, whatever may be said of it, is out of place in the free schools of the country. THE GREAT FRENCH ANNIVER3 ARY. France proposes to celebrate in the year iss'j the centennial anniversary of an event in her history of such far-reaching consequences that, notwithstanding a hundred years are gone since it transpired, we doubt very much if its full significance is half comprehended. The rovolution which the French people propose to celebrate began in 1780, five years subsequent to the close of the American revolutionary war. It was in 1783 that the people of Paris stormed and demolished the bastile, and virtually dethroned the King, Louis XVI., who four years later was beheaded. Much has been written about the French revolution now to be celebrated by an interna tional industrial exhibition. France is to celebrate .her emancipation from kingly rule, from despotism and degradation that had existed for a thousand years, and finally produced a reaction that shook every throne in Europe, but out of which a Republic was born to live a brief period. In 1H04 Napoleon overthrew the Republic, but it came again in IS 13, to.be again over thrown by'another Napoleon. Bat in 1370 the Republic reappeared and still lives. To celebrate the resolution of 1739 speaks well for France, speaks well for the patriot lc, liberty-loving sentiments of the French people. Men are often heard deploring the French revolution, ani deplorable it was, but the causes that led to it were a thousand times more deplorable. For a time Anarchy took the place o despotism. The Girondists went down be fore the Jacobins, and amidst scenes that horrified the world, such names as Robes pierre, Marat and Danton were in the ascendency, violence took the place of law, and the revolution, like a spirit of destruc tion, went forward with resistless power. Mas-acres were rife everywhere. Con ni gra ions multiplied. Nobles fled id terror. Wbtofitall? France is a Republic No iroi -shod despot has his foot upon the necVa of a prostrate people, and France proposes, by an International Industrial

ex1 ibitlon, to celebrate the revolution of 1789. The French people-have Invited tb people of the United Slates to take part in the celebration, and the resident of the United States, for the American people, has accepted the invitation. The demonstration on the part of

the American people should be on a grand scale. The key of the old bastile hangs on the wall at Mount Vernon Mount Vernon Washington; Lafayette, France. America owes a debt to France. It was never paid not even in gratitude. Now comes an op portunity to do France a favor. Let the two great Republics embrace. Let kingcursed Europe know that the great American Republic is the friend of France as she is the friend of no other European Government or Nation. In the dark days of our Revolutionary struggle France came to our relief with men and money and sympathy, and now the American people can afford to contribute to make the centennial anniversary of the French Revolution one of the most notable eventa of the nineeenth century. PROHIBITION PICTURES. There are three States nominally under the sway of prohibition Maine, Kansas and Iowa, In not one of these States does prohibition prohibit. In all of them a condition of things exists most deplorable. Speaking of Iowa, a correspondent of the Chicago Herald says: To-day, while a man who is not a hypo crite muBt suffer many hardships, there is no decline in the popular consumption of iquors, but there is added cost for prescripionp, soda fountains, and generally Pecksniflism. The entire German element is moving out. Many liberal men fear to settle in the State. Its crops are boycotted by great manufacturing institutions, and the entire commercial use of alcohol is plagued with inquisition and orrx3ition. The Republican party is blamed not only or the rage of hypocrisy, but also for the blow delivered to property interests through the restriction of owners and in vestors. The revolution in Iowa is great. The honest proponent of high license has made a good tight, and will move out. The Republicans have held the offices, abolished the breweries and preserved the war tariff. vet ore more victory of the same kind would carry them oil the political field. This is wnat Senator Palmer declares the Michigan Republicans must come to before bey can fro back to v ashtngton and pro tect the old flag from Jefl Davis. There is little doubt that the party legatees of Zch Chandler are as anxious to bold office as he was, but no enemy could wish them worse lortune than to follow the tactics of the weak-hearted leaders in Iowa. The statement that in Iowa "there is no decline in the popular consumption of iquors," tells the whole story. The saloon is gone, but the liquor remains. Bat in some cities in Iowa the saloon remains. The law is openly defied, openly violated, degraded. It cannot be enforced. In such ocalities anarchy exists. The law is dead. There ia no law. What must be the influence of Buch a state of affairs? A dead aw officials impotent the people edu cated by events to disregard law society roduced to a mob. The Herald's correspondent says the Republican party of Iowa was "never honestly in favor of total abstinence, and the Iowa politicians sold out to a small band of irreconcilables who otherWise would have run a party of their own. Rather than lose their hold even temporarily on the offices, the Republican leaders closed the saloons and opened the drug stores " And as a consequence the politicians have placed the State of Iowa in a position Which thousands, multiplied, of the citizens of the State earnestly deplore. The Washington Sentinel refers to the fact that Senator Palmer urges the total abolition of the liquor traffic in the Dis trict of Columbia. "Neither the Senator nor those who act and agree with him," says the Sentinel, take into account the practical effects of such a measure, as witnessed in Maine, Kansas and other States that have adopted the extremest laws on the subject. They know very well that all violent legislation, even when honestly intended for reformatory objects, defeats itself by reaction and harms seriously instead of helping the purpose to which it is directed. Drunkenness and dissipation have largely increased in the so-called prohibition States, as direct results of attempts to coerce the habits and tastes of the people. Men and youths of temperate lives, and even women,too,have been driven to intoxicating drink by the course of the intolerant crusaders, who would take noth irg less than the pound of flesh of their intended victims. They have broken up the family life in thousands of homes, hitherto boppy and contented, by demanding sub jection to the extremest fanaticism. In Kansas and in other States where these crusaders have waged a war of proscription against the most moderate habits of temperance people, the! reckless policy has been followed by ruinous consequences They have closed the saloon, it is true, but they have substituted for it a general bar-room at the family fireside, and made drunkards of husbands, wives, fathers, daughters, and eons, who never before had tasted intoxicating drinks. Like other forms of oppression, this tyranny has driven leslstance into crime, has dethroned the safeguards of society, and opened the door to downfall for the rising generation." Such statements are well calculated to ar rest the attention of prudent citizens. If prohibition nowhere prohibits, If, while doing away (?) with the saloon, it degrades law, multiplies law-breakers and introduces drinking in the family, fills communities with spies and informers, dethrones confidence and exalts suspicion, sharpens the fangs of bigotry and spreads the curse of fanaticism, the conclusion will be event ually that violent legislation is neither a preventive nor a curative, and is not to be classed with any remedial ag3nciss for the prevention of drunkeness or the evils which flow from it. It will be well to make a note of the progress of prohibition in States where violent legislation has sway, since It can't be long before facts will be sufficient for common-setse citizens to ren der an honest verdict. TWO NEROS. Tb poultry aDd dog show now under full .ad way at Tomlinson Hall contains aver: remarkable animal. It is a big, fat, lazy looking dog, whose masler boasted that he pid for that dog's board more than he paid wages to any one of the working eirls of his woolen mill. The dor a name is "Nero," and the master's, James N. Hus ton, Chairman of the Kspa'jUcaa State

Central Committee of Indiana. We understand that the dog has been awarded several prizes. A party named "Nero" fiddled while Rome burned. That "Nero" might have teen a dog to advantage. The Connersville "Nero" baa a master who thinks more of the dog's welfare than that of a poor working girl. Perhaps the dog and master should change names. Is there any similarity of character between a man that fiddles while a city burns and a man that pays working girls less wages than he pays for the board of a dog?

The eiehth annual meeting of the Indi ana Bee Keepers' Association began yes terday afternoon in the Agricultural Rocnis at the Capitol. The President, Mr. Frank L.

The specimen is about eight feet hieh. has a branching too covered with iunumerable little balls about the Bizs of a No. 1 shot. When in bloom there is but one flower . leaf on eacu ball, which is dark purp'e or violet. It bloomi hire from July 151b. until frost.
