The French can forgive anything and anybody but BlSMAUCK. Pensioners in particular and the public in general will be pleased to learn that the president intends to have the pension bureau conducted on strict business principles, and that he will not appoint "demagogical politician" for commissioner.

TriE Chicago lntrr Ocean celebrated its twenty-first birthday yesterday in state with colored printing and a xsamuoth dition. The Ocwa fiis had some bard truggles, bat it has won a victory from adversity, end is today one of the great papers of the land. It is clean, wholesome and enterprising, and bat for its false economic teachings a model newspaper. Tnv.zz more of the Panama canal boodlers have been found coilty of bribery and accepting bribes. This result had been anticipated by all who had followed the evidence. These convictions will doubtless do much to quiet the political ferment in France and are not at all unlikely to mark the end of all prosecutions. Perhaps it is just as well for France that, the principals in the infamous affair having bean brought to book, further agitation should be avoided.

California like Florida has been suffering a glut of the orange market. Oranges bring but a email price. This is noted even here in Indianapolis, where they sell almost as low as pood apples. However, Europo promises a successful market for the orange planter. The Karl fruit company cf California has been testing the London market. The liret shipment arrived in splendid rendition, the oranges were pronounced the finest ever received and tha prices p:ii J averaged SU.ö'J per box. This was considered a good price by the California shipper". The election livi of Indiana are gradually getting in their work cn the vote buyers in a way that is very likely to prove depressing to their industry. Thursday an "eminently respectable" republican of Rochester was convicted of an attempted bribery and sent to jail for ten days. He had failed to vet his case before the federal court end as the evidence was conclusive his conviction followed. A few more such results and Indiana will cease to be known W tLe most corrupt t-tate in the union n unn viable reputation given to it by fccDLLY, Wooos Cit amhi:rs et al. Titr. New Hampshire board of health bae Letjn investigating the fire in the titrafiord county almshouse where forty in?ane people were burned to de.tth. It finds that no protection wh oilered in case ol re and odds that the same condition of Affairs exists in every county in the yV.e. The report concludes with a vigorous condemnation of tie county system.' Indiana, without any euch horrible spur to mri't.n u tlat ttl.ich Vnw Hnmnshir .oa bad, long since abolished the county ilf tem niiü the results have eminently jpf I fed that action. The older states cf the union must follow tiie example of Indiana If they would avoid Stratford county horrors Ir seems a if day were at last breaking in Henry county. The ring which has so long plundered the taxpayers of that county is in hard luck. Judge Dundy ltas decided that the books and records inns t Le exposed to public view, and before long the peeple will learn how their money has been expended. This ;e a pood deal. When tbose books are cpened the people will see bow they have been robbed and then they can get their revenge. The Henry county rottenness has largely crown oat ef the failure of the eotamisfionersto comply with the law requiring them to publish their allowances. This Is one of the wit laws on the statute bcok. though it is not obeerved in any considerable number of counties of the late. Lived uo to in good faith it would fender unnecessary euch proceedings as those taken at New Castle and prevent the waste of public funds. A mix is pending in the Pennsylvania legislature to prohibit vivisection. One or two states have laws of this kind, and It is to be hoped that the time is not far distant when similar laws will be found m the statute books of every state ia the union. Vivisection is nothing more norless than the wanton torture of helpless animals, ar.d Li revolting to every person cf humane instincts and re Cued sensibilities. That it is practiced ia the name and for the alleged benefit of science does not alter the fact of its bratality and cruelty. It is safe to say that whatever fd value to mankind was to be learned throuzh this process has long slate beta micertained. It is demonstrable, indeed, that science has gained little, if an) thins, by experiments in vivisection. It has Served and cerves little if any other purpose than to grstify the cruel instincts cf men in whom a little learning has not cofiensd the taint of ancestral savagery,

and who find rare enjoyment in witnessing the sufferings of helpless creatures. No state or nation can be regarded as really civilized in which vivisection, the death penalty, corporal punishment in penal and reformatory institutions and the cogging of children in schools are not

prohibited by law. "The SenttnelV "World's Fair Edition. At a meeting of the executive commit tee of the Indiana world's fair commis sion held in the state house Saturday morniog The Sentinel's idea to include a world's fair feature in the spring edition was unanimously approved, and it was voted that facilities for diätribmting the edition to yleitora during the fair be pro vided. The commissioners also instructed the executive officer to purchase a large engraving for the edition. The enterprise and foresight of The Sentinel in embarking in an undertaking that the state had failed to make provision for was applauded. The Sentinel's edition, which now in eludes the world'a fair feature, will be one of the most complete and authentically correct statistical reviews of the citv and state that has ever been issued, and in point of numbers it will be greater by 500 per cent than all other editions of this kind that has been attempted. From the point of illustrative excellence it will be as fine as artistic skill can make i t, as neither pains nor expense is being pared. From the manner in which e rders are coming in for this edition it is a operant that the business men of the ci ty duly appreciate it. Opportunities of Legislatures. Oer estesmed friend Mr. Zimmerman rt esents to our readers thia morning his vi ews of the failure of the last legislature, bi t while in the abstract his argument ha s a certain plausibility we cannot aeree eit her with his theory or with his applitia n of it to the facts. Thers is, of course, a c reat difference in the opportunities of m n and of legislatures, but there is also a i treat difference made in the nse of ope ortunities. Gkvnt believed that the waj to conduct a war was to tight. He mac hi rj him froa 'e the opportunity if none came to . It was his aggressiveness that jrave the opportunity to win every victory Belmont to Vickeburg. that give him. steady promotion to the point where the i president and the nation recogniza l hii t. as the great leader. The dilTerence be iween the legislatures of 1KW and lt; is po no th that the one improved its oprtunities and the other did L Leaving out of consideration ballot Jaw and the school book law tht legislature of 188'. stll did more and bet let work than any legislature that prece" !i-d it. and far mere than the legie'ature of M V he T of pa? hns iMi.J. and we think that it Mr. Zimmkks will examine the record more closely a ill admit thi. be etata board of charities law i one the greatest re'orm measures ever led in this or in any other Btate. It f erved as a treat bulwark of deieneu to f be management of the institutions and to the democratic party fro-u all tin-ju-t . charges made against them. It ha kep t the institutions pure and wholesome. It h ss allaved the fear of ihe people. It has improved the whole administration of corr jrctions nni charities ia tho state, it revi sed the laws for apprenticeship of orpha p, provided laws for humane in spei "tors, boards of children's guardiar if, homes for indigent o d woti ten, and for the prevention of cruelty to animals. It prohibited the sale of tobar Ao to children under sixteen years of age. It provided for night schools and free indergarten. It reorganized the etate 1 ibrary and put it on an equality with tl ose ot our neighboring states. It psssel the tight-hoar labor law. It pasted a wholt6ome law for tee inspection of miy. es and the suppression of "pluckmestj res." It repealed the outregeou repuhl Wan "intimidation law" of 18si. It pa- id the aati-l'inkerton law, excluding the. e rasreenaries from Indiana. It created the live stock sanitary coriimicsion. It refui "de l tbe school bonds, saving the state $1 17.000 pe annum in interest. It sternly i refused to "whitewash" anybody oranytl ting, both ia the iiav-Carpenter contest and the I'a-wsrn insane hospital investu ation. u here is another legislature tht t made such a record? Did tt e legislature of ls:3 have oppor tunities Did it improve them? The deinocra tic state platform of W2 indorsed the tax I aw and promised its influeoce to teeure ta e taxation of greenbacks and of interetaU commerce. The state board of tax cora miesioners recommended that congress 1 be memoralize 1 as to both, and the iegi lature did nothing. The etate beard oft ax commissioners, in obedience to law, re commanded certain ameadments to the tas law, and the senate smothered tbe bill il i committee after it had paneed the houl e. The platform indorsed the Atastraliai t ballot law and declared la favor of "maiataioiug; it intact." The legielaturl made one dangerous amendment of il ; and smothered in committee the "watu hers'" amendment, which was not es pecu illy objectionable. The platform decided"! .newerving devotion to the interests of pul )lio education." including ' the higher inj titutions of learning and free public libr arias," and the logisiature manifested its I levotion by cutting the purchase fund of the etate library in two. The platform w as specially explicit as to labor interests. Itcommended "organization of the indusl rial claws," and declared its intention "i n all future contests to stand by the gre t producing masses." It told workingmei i that the democratic party bad "given them the eight-hour law, tue law to rev nt blacklisting, tbe law preventing 'plo ck-me stores,' the law for the protection ol miners, and the laws Hint make it itn poueible for Pinkerton detectives to at reit and slay laboring men in Indiana." 1 ivery one of these laws was passed in 18 8'.). In the legislature of ISif.'i tkelieatenad t-overnor and the committee refused t allow the eonate te vote on labor laws until the railroad lobby approved then t. A primary election law was much tusded. None was passed. These thlnj re were dsntaadad were pledged. In addition to them a legisla' ture might reasonably discover eouie needed reform for itself. Mr. ZiMMEfl man partially recognizes the evil in bis ;remaraa about the lobby, ilowdoesa lobby control a legislature?

First, by "fixing" the committees, and second, by "fixing" the rules. It concen. trates the power in the hands of a few men whom it can rely upon. Is there no

way of stopping this? Is there noway in which it may be insured that the majority in the legislature shall at all times be able to govern? That is the great problem to which we have invited attention. We cannot afford to maintain lobby government in Indiana, and we have it just the came in republican and democratic legislature. There will always be lobbies, but unless some way is found to prevent them from tying the bands of legislative majorities our talk of popular government is absurd. We need some method of preventing the abrogation of the Constitution by parliamentary law. The Toledo Cises. The reports concerning the proceedings in the U. tf. courts at Toledo, for the restraint of boycotting or striking railroad men, have been so conflicting that it is difficult to form a just estimate ef their legal significance. In such a case, a very slight misapprehension of the facts, or a s ight change in the words used, might make a very great difference in the appearance of the matter. Probably the case will be rendered clearer by Judge Ricks decision in the contempt proceedings, but until it is we have either a novel and apparently absurd application of law, or a misunderstanding of the position of the court. It is an elementary principle of law that any conspiracy to do an unlawful act is unlawful. Under the provisions of the interstate commerce law it is quite possible that a general agreement of tha employes cf a road to refuse to receive freight fiom another road may be an unlawful act, but if so it is only because the men hold the relation of employes to the road. If they retain that relation they cannot well refuse to do work that their employer is obliged by law to do. But can they suspend the relation at any time? It is the ordinary understanding that they can, and we do not believe that any court in the country would venture to hold otherwise. No law to compel men to accept or retain any kind of work can be enforced, no matter whether male by courts cr by legislatures, but at the same time it must be remembered that persons under contract to perform work may be punished for breach of contraot ;by judgment for damages, and in eome cases specific uerformance of the contract may bd ordered. In the latter case if the party directed to do a thing should refuse the court would direct an officer of the court to do it ia his behalf. So in cae the process of the court has attached while a party is in the relation of employe, he would undoubtedly have to obey the court so loner as the relation continues, and he may possibly be liable in damages if by a discontinuance of his work the employer is injured. Put we do not believe that under these circumstances a judse can prevent the employe from te earning his position. Whatever argument might be made in favor of such power, it is certainly not practicable to make men work if tliey refuse. You may do it in penitentiaries, but it will never be possible to enforce penitentiary discipline on free men. Nevertheless, it seems to be the impression of men who ought to understand the situation that Judge Kicks is attempting this moat abeurd undertaking. Chief Aktiii k would appear t3 be in a position to understand the issued, and he expresses his views thus: If men are not at liberty to quit work when at any timn it snits their conven ience.thf a certainly the same rule will apply to railroad companies and deny them the right to discharge a man at any time they choose without consulting his convenience or comfort. We are at anv time ready to subscribe to an v rule that will apply alike to employer and employe. "If." But does the court hold that? Will there be any certainty that he does until his decision in these contempt pro ceedings is announced? If he holds this he can, of course, hold it only because the process of the court had been served and a resignation would be an attempt to evade that process, but even that theory would be an extension ef a legal principle to a point that if ever reached heretofore has certainly not been commonly known to be reacLed. The government has from necessity en'orced such a doctrine with regard to certain contracts of its own. as for example, if a man enlists ia the army be cannot withdraw at will, but must be regularly dis charged. This i founded on the absolute necessity of the case, but no such rule has ever before been suggested as to private corporations, and there is not the slightest possibility that euchja rule could be en forced. If Judge Picks should decide it to be the law, and should be upheld by the supreme court, the legislative department would unquestionably make it not the law at the earliest opportunity. The idsa of compelling any man to continue in an em ployment that is for any reason distatefsl to him is utterly repugnant to all Ameri can theories of freedom and the natural risrhts of man. "Life, libertv and the pursuit of happiness" are more eaered than any importance of transporting freight or passengers, and they will always remain so in this country. The Furnished Light. Ab we expected, the Delphi 7Wa when it undertakes to specify the instances in which The Sentinel has gone wrong shows that its facts are all fancies. It explains that the "certain well-law-protected class" to which it referred was the class of lawyers, and proceeds thus: The Sentinel waa possessed of certain bobbies, verging on maoias. It was clamorous for a law repealing tho infamous (irubbs libel law, Lut it feit it incumbent upon itself to assume if you please a dictatorial position with the senate, presuming that it could bulldoze it into favorable action. The Timm has no doubt but that its frequent reference to the profit to the !oal profession to have the Cirubbs law remain in force had much to do with poi-oning the minds of the "certain well-law-protected cias" above referred to. There, is probably no democratic paper in Indiana that said less about the amendment of the Grobba libel law than Tux Shntinel. We took it for granted that the law woald be passed and said very little about It, We never made "frequent reference to the profit of the legal profession," etc We never suggested f anything of the sort in our editorial columns, and if any auch remark was made in our local columns (and we know of none) it must have been called out by the assault

of numerous senators on the newspaper profession in connection with thia law. The Tinica further says: The Sentinel had a hobby for an appropriation to the G. A. Ii. encampment, and although the democratic country press was almost a nnit against it The Sentinel questioned the motives of the legislators opposed to it, making many of them feel unfriendly to it if nothing mors. The Fentinel certainly did no euch thing editorially, and we think no one can cite any instance in which it did locally. TLe Timrt proceeds: And when the ba'Jot law came up for discussion, before final action. Senators Pakeer, Mcilroii et al. were arraigned personally in the columns of The Skntin&l and maligned. This waa greatly to the detriment of the country press. Tho Timet honestly believes that the cause of the senate's action on the Williams bill wastbat many of its members were smartins; under the whip The Skntinel used so dexterously and disastrously. This is pure imagination. 8enator Pakker was never "arraigned" in The Sentinel at any time. We think his name was never mentioned in the editorial columns but once, and that on March 4, when we said that the workingmen did not hold him responsible for the holding back of the co-employes' liability bill. No arraignment was made of McIIcgh until the same date and in the same connection. The legislature adjourned March 6. The Williams bill had been passed long before. And again: Does Tin; Sentinel imagine that its personal assault upon "Windy Bill Culloh" was to the interest of the country press? Most certainly not, nor to its disadvantage either. We have never imagined that Mr. Ccli.op was a personage who was of the slightest importance to tbe country press or any other press. The assault referred to was upon the appropriation bill reported by CrLLOP, wh'ch was an oatrage, and which was corrected in many of its worst features by the legislature. The Times does noi blame the legislature for not always sustaining The Sentinel's position. Its shift on the appointive power question was so frequent and ho rapid tnat no one could keep company with it. No one asked the legislature to sustain The Sentinel's position. It is amply able to do that for itself. It had but one position as to the appointive power, and that was that the power should be eiven to the governor by the democrats in the legislature, but not by a minority of democrats aided by republicans. In conclusion tbe Timra says:

The Sentinel brazenly confesses that it is not an adviner, but a dictator. It does not represent the people so cioee'y as the country press, which is in close touch with them. On all state question of a political character it hts acted as with the legislature and has sought to mold opinions for the country editors. The limes is sorry to say that too many of them are bound down i y a fa!e recognition of pretended superiority by virtue of its being a daily state paper. This is almost too much when the Time prints at the same time, and in the same article, our statement, -'The Fentinl has never dictated to any one and never attempted to." We submit further that it is a trifle inconsistent to wind ud a statement of our differences with the legislature by a statement that we have acted "as with. the legtHlatare" 'on all etate questions of a political nature." We certainly condemned the apportionment bill, and also the house's action on the apyuiiiiinK potr urn. rseitner ao we eee any occasion for the Timrs insulting the country editors by snying that they aro 'bound down" to The Sentinel in any way. The country pree of Indiana is as independent as any in the Union, and The Sentinel has never "sought to mold opinions for the country e litors" any more than for any one else. It advocates what it believes to be right and tries to convince its readers of the correctness of its views; and there are few newspapers in Indiana that dp otherwise. If the Timrs is defending the legislature merely to show that it is not dominated by The Sentinel we will furnish it a certificate of complete independence at any time. But it may bo added here that The Sentinel never said anything worpe about the leg islature than the Timrs' statement that the legislature defeated the amendment to the Cirubbs bill and amended the ballot law in order to spite The Sentinel. If that was the caliber of our statesmen they were worse than we had imagined. ET CETERA. Johann Most has broken loose ajrain. He wants the priests to go to heaven, the politicians to the other place, and let the anarchists have the earth. Father J. J.

It was in aflirmation of a decision by the circuit court for Southern New York in a case arising under the customs administration act. Senator Fkank Palmtb of North Dakota says, relative to the statements put about reflecting upon Senator Poach, that the latter has fer feurteen years heroically stood arraignment for another, for whom he first sacrificed his fortune and afterward his reputation. Thomas Allen, who served under Wellington in the war with Napoleon and under Gen.

The late Dr. Andrew Peabody, accord Inf to Dr. Edward Everett Hale, was looking over eome accumulated papers one day, when he discovered that he was 110.000 richer than he waa the year before. Thereupon he wrote to the assessors of Cambridge, asking those officials to impose a tax on his property accordingly. Yet nobody ever suspected the good doctor of insanity.

The Cyclone Leaves Death in Its Wake. Kelly, Miss., Almost Com pletely Wrecked. PATH SWEPT BY THE WIND. Everything in tho Storm's Course Laid Low. Much Damage Done in Portions of Kentucky. The Ii. & S. Round-lloa"e at Dowling Green Demolished and All the Un feines Battered The Loss AVill Reach, Into tbe Thousands Tbe Victims of tho Storm. Kellt, Miss., March 24. This morning a more thorough investigation was made regarding the damages made by the cy clone yesterday, which showed that mat tes were worse than expected. Reports ere numerous. Every countryman who came in added horrors to the situation. Kelly itself is only a small place of about thirty houses, of which twe.ve or fifteen are entirely swept away, and there re mains nothing to show there was ever a residence there, except by the masof de bris which is scattered in all directions. As far as can be learned there was not a house left standing within the scope of the cyclone, which ranged from a quarter to half a mile in width south west of Kelly. Trees were mowed down and blown up by the roots as though a sevthe had clipped them. The injured are: Payne, a nero. wife and fira children: Payne badly bruised, being crushed ander his oabio;his wile crippled and internally in jured. A small baby, foot crushed. An eight-year-old girl, head crnshed in; will die. Tbe other two eicsped. 1IAUHIET SMITH, colored, killed; lives on Krite plaes four mile; southwest of Kelly. Chkis Hi'KFord, colored, head crushed and bctn shoulders broken; will di. Ers McLaughlin, colored, iboulder dislo cated. Jim Payne, skull crushed and arm dislo cate.); his little eight-year-old bey badly In jured by heavy log fal.iDg acrois his siils. The child of Mr. Cox. living on Hud nell's farm, cut across forehead, probably iaiai. They were several others who were re ported iojured, the names and full partic ulars couul not be learned. Some of the losses are: Harrison Smith, barn blown down and several head of mules killed. School house totallv destroyed. On tne Lemon and tiale farm, five miles from here, not a house of any description was left standing. The store of H. W. Mannen, badly wrecked ; the house of Harry Dean entirely blown down, H. F. Goodrich and Robert S evens' dwellings damaged so badly that they will have to be rebuilt entirely. Mr. Shannon is the village school teacher and is also the proprietor of a small store. He was teaching when he noticed signs of an approaching cvclone. lie dismissed the pupils and told them to go home as quickly as possible. In half a dozen moments the school house was torn to pieces by the wind. Mr. Shannon's grocery fared no better. The end was blown away. Mrs. Shannon was in the store at the time and she wa raised from the floor by the wind and hurled through the door panel. Beyond a few bruises 6he was not badly injured. A bale of cotton on the platform. WBS blown two hundred yards. Mr. Goodyear's houso faced the north. The vortex of the cyclone opened around it and the house was turned completely around and now faces in the opposite direction. THE DAMAGE IN KENTUCKY. ThA L. N. Round House Demolished and th Knginrs IJ.xttrred I p. Louisville, March 24. The heavy storm which passed over a large Fectk.n of the Bouth last night did great damage to Bowling Green and the surrounding country. The storm was in the nature of a cvclone at Bowling Green. The roofs of between fifteen and twenty houses were blown off and the unfortunate occupants rushed pell-mell into the etreet. The most serious damage done waa that of the L. & N. round house, a large brick building filled with locomotives. The storm struck the building broadside, tearing off the roof and leveling the brick walls with tho ground. The falling timber did serious damage to tbe engines inside the building, several of them being badly smashed up. The railroad employes who were at work in the buildinz made a rush with the first Bound of the breaking tint bers. One unfortunate, a colored man. was unable to make his epcape, and was caught in the debris. He was badly, though not fatally, injured. The loss to the L. & N. railroad company on the building and locomotives is estimated all the way from 75,000 to $100,000. Among the roofs blown otf at -Bowling Green wan that of tbe Warren county court house, which is considered the finest publio building outside of Louisville. The loss wi.l amount to a considerable sum. Pannen ire ra on the delayed fast express on the L. & N. from the South stated that all along "the route evidences of the fctorm could be seen. Many farm houses were noticed to be rootless, and scores of outhouses totally demolished. Trees were blown across the L. & N. track at many points, bot the section men managed by dint of hard work to keep the track clear for the regular trains. Tne south-hound passenger was struck by the etorm at Rowlett's station and so great was the force of tho wind that the coaches rocked violently. The passengers were greatly freightened and for a time it looked like a panic was imminent. The town of Rowlings was almost entirely destroyed. The poBtodice buildinir, owned by Frank Cordier, was swept entirely away, together with all the mail, Eome of which was found two miles oil. Mr. Cordier'a loss is fuliy $1,000. The store houne occupied by Stephene & Knox was almost demolished and their stock, valued at $,000 ruined by the rain which followed. Isaac Hamilton lost aeveral tenement bouses and store rooms, beside having his residence badly wrecked. His loss is $1,500. The Shelton houue was unroofed, as were tbe other buildings attached to it. Juriee Shelton's lose is about $1,000. and J. II. Carrier, who rents the hotel, lost several hundred more. Every bouse in Stanford was more or lees damaeed. J. W. Flower's residence, half a mile from town, was unroofed; J. H. Hiatt's house was blown down and Dudyear'e mill, two miles awny, was damaged to the extent of $1,500." The track of the tornado was not cerSOOvards

wide, but it swept everything In Its war. The losers did not have the tornado clause in their insurance policies. At Murray, Ky.. twenty residences and fifty etables and barns were demolished. Only one person. Mis Aline Stabblefield, waa injured severely. A dozen were slightly hurt Tne loss will reach SJÖ.0-X). Much timber, fencing, etc, was also destroyed. Two Killed; four IJadly Ilart. Pottsvillb, Ta., March 24. Two men were killed and four badly, if not fatally, injured by an explosion of gas at Oak Hill colliery, near Minersville, this morning. The killed are William Purcell. John Morgan, badly burned and brai-ed, not expected to recover; J. W. James, arms and legs broken and injured internailv, will die; David Davis, jr., probably fata'llv injured. Two more bodies "have been brought to the surface, one dead and he other horribly mutilated but living, both unrecognizable. In Ttiinrs4ee. Nasiitii.le, Tenn., March 24. The eevere etorm which swept over this city last night did much damage in the aggregate in North Nashville. A boy named Drumright was killed by the destruction of a store in which he and others beside the regu'ar occupants had assembled. Many residences and outhouses in tbe northern part of the city were damaeed, and in the country to the north of the city fences and trees were blown down and residences and barns injured. Fatal Fire at Denver.
