The principal addi-e?3 of the evenin? proved to be a veritable sensation and extreme surprise was express? 1 upon every face present, fcr there were there nearly the entire republican delegation to the legislature. This was th? a.Ures3 of the Hon. Smiley N. Chambers upon the subject of the state apportionment. Mr. Chambers was th? first fpeaker of the evening and In introducing him the toastmaster referred to the fact that the Lincoln league, though not destined to control the counsels and policy of the party, nevertheless had for its object the assistance in regulating its policy and would 'express Itself upon all questions of vital Interest to the party. In p -int. he said, he would present Mr. UhamV-er.-, who. as representing the Columbian c'ui. the mo.st powerful republican organization in thcounty, would speak upon the highly Important question of the pr.pts-d apportionment of the statf for legislative and cmrrcasiina! purposes. In opening, Mr. Chambers reviewed the late political h. story of th' county since the frreat republican landslide of Kv. when the republican party was swept out of piwer. He said this bad been done by a majority of tha people, and th'- democratic party had been lifted into otlice and the control of the country. Aprain in 1MM the people had spoken and a landslide equally as pronounced, but diametrically opposed in its praise and condemnation, hid dethroned the democrats and returned the republicans to iwer. "This," said Mr. Chambers, "carries with It a levton which we as the r.-presenttves of a party are bound t recftnlze. These sudden revulsions have not hi-en accid nn. They are the wrk of the p?opl and as such th? causes must be stub I. "The lesson drawn from these radical chansM in election; i? that tht e ns-rv:i-tive element, which is a larpe and ruplly Errowinff factor in American politics, is in the ascendancy, and it i-s demanding m 1erate lettisl-ation. Applaus. The cpiestlon Is. 'Shall the nxt legislature of this state, at Its com in? session, p-is an ap;ortonment act?' (Many cries of approval). A noiiilinliell Throur. "Gentlemen, the Constitution of this state ami the laws of this state are explicit upon the question of how and when the state shall b apportioned. It provides when each apportionment shall be male. This tv-inif the case, it is only a mitter of calculation to ascertain that nrxt year, the year Ik'j.", Is not the time for a constitutional apporti nment to le male. Non can be made under tho constitution until 1 'j7. The republican p-rty is distinctively a constitutional party and cannot afforl to ?o contrary to the constitution of th state. The act of Isitf is now in lore. After it was puss I a suit was brought which was vlrtua.ly the republic in party a-runst the democratic party, in which the constitutionality of the apportionment act of li.l was the point In issue. Tne republican party in that suit selected its cas-. it court and its points, yet it was defeated in the case by an advtrse decision fr;m a learned and honorable court. An appeal was taken and this has s.nce bee.i dismissed, so that the act of 1M: stands upon the statute books uiiassa.iled. It is law. "Now. irent.ernen. in view of this rapid ly growing spirit of conservatism, the nu-s-ton that'eonfronts us is whr-ther it will b? wise to affront this conservative clement by the passage of an apportionment law, the constitution ility of which is a matter of the Kravest doubt. I think not. Looking to when the all-important elections will be held, when a president is U be elected, whtn a legislature Is t") b" tlectel. v.-hen a United States senator ic to be elected, I say it would be almost sniciilvil to pass a law which cannot be In conformity with the provisions of the con:t itution.' "I have always been a staunch anl true republican and I do not fear that my motives will te lmpnerned on account of the Stand I take In this matter. So 1 say that we cannot, whether in a spirit of retaliation or otherwise, present t the voterd of this state a law and question of doubtful constitutionality by passing an apportionment .act at the coming session of the legislature. I leave this question to your grave considc ration. My remarks are ihe result of careful study of all sides of the question." The ad Iress created th" most profounl eurprtse and th- general disapproval of those present. From a lawyer of su'-h recognized ability and learning upon constitutional queatious the opinon of thJ peaker fell Ike an explosion and startled every man present. When Chirles Hookwalter said in his addrev that the disagreed with Mr. 'hamlrs upon the matter he was greeted with almost unanimous applause, but the opinion will have much to do with the passage of an apportionment act. ThAt was conceded. SAMPLE REPUBLICANS. If there nre any republicans in Johnson county who desire a clerkship or any sort of a position within the gift of Jesse Overetreet. when le is sworn in as congressman next March, it will be to their interest to apply early and push their canvass vigorously. It. A. Brown, e-ditor of the Republican. Is a standing candidate for everything in sight and no doubt, if not headed off, will be aspirin? to some appointment under the Fifty-fourth congress. Franklin Democrat. Alexander Hess, the new clerk of the supreme court, seems to have notions about making money out of his olHcc that are new and peculiar. He proposes to charge newspapers 10 cents a hundred words for copying (not his copying, but the papers' copying) the decisions of the supreme court. He seems to regard these decisions as being his own personal property written for the express purIoe of enabling him to make money out of them. Terre Haute Gazette. A merry row has already commenced among the victorious republicans. They have a chance now to dispense n little patronage, and as there are not quite places enough t go around, the play opens. State GeoL-gLst Hlatchley is accused of peddling the position of state oil inspector and of "holding the other potions back for bids." He denies the charge and defiantly declares that while he did not $ell his subordinate positions, be was offered bribes by some of his fellow-republicans. Well, it's none of our funeral. Sullivan Times. Supreme Court Clerk Hess, reeently elected by the republicans, is a thrifty goul. He believes that a public office is a family snap, and he doesn't care a rap who knows it. He proposes ta install his four daughters, who are of office-holding age, ns his assistants. This will make the alarie3 from the clerk's oflice to the llesses as follows: One clerk supreme court. $3,000. with fees of at least $1.000; one deputy clerk. gl.r.OO; ne clerk, $1o0; one clerk. $C00. The total will be $C,7o0. As the family will be in office four years, I less and his will have received more than $25.000. Hess excuses his conduct on the ground that he was mulcted $3,000 by the republican campaign committee, and he propo to get all out of the office that he can. Hess- is wise enough to add that he doesn't expect to be re-elected. Hess has evidently read somewhere in the scriptures that the man who provideth not for his own family is wore than an infidel or a heathen, and doesn't propow to be class-M Jn any such company. But his scandalous conduct ia raising a protest, as It ought to do. Put Hess doesn't care for protests. He is looking after the interest of IIe5, and besides, what .ire those who protest going to do about it? In the meantime reform with a big It is stalking about vainly seeking recognition at the hands of th republican patriots who have captured the tat house at Indianapolis. LaXayetta Journal.

"I want a pair of gloves to match a gray wool dress." she said. "Certainly, midam," he replied, as he bounced around to the boxes. He dragged down a lot of them, and then turned back to the lady.

ALONG THE BYWAYS.

One of the best anecdotes of the late Governor Crrtin relates to a sensation he created in a Washington theater In the winter of 1SS4-S3. when, he was serving in the house. He was very anxious to see Henry Irving, who was threi acting in that city, and he told his wif3 and his daughter. Sirs. Wilson, to go to th? theater, where he would meet them after congre?3 adjourned for the day. "You need not engage a seal for me." he said R3 they parted, "as something may arise that might prevent my coming until the very last moment. I can procure a seat easily enouga if I do come." The house, however, stayed in suasion on the. river and harbor bill until quite late, and when the governor reached the thrater there wa standing room only, anl very Ilttla of that. He wedged himself along one of 'the sid? ais!es, and unintentionally stopped in front of some men who were perched upon a window-sii'.. One cf them touehud Mr. Curtin rath;r roughly on the shoulder and commanded him to move aside. Governor Curtin looked about, surprised, but before? he could explain a big. double-fisted fellow of herculean proportions, who was standing close by pointed his enormous index finger up at the three window-sill ornaments and thundered out in scenbeian tones: "Say, do you know who you are shoving? That's ex-Governor Curtin. our old war governor!" Then turnlr.cr to Mr. Curtin he shouted, as his face grew purple with indignation: "Governor, I'm one of 'the boys,' I served under you, and nobody shall shove you around where I am! Geö down off that window-sill quick! Shall I knock 'em down, governor? Shall I knock 'em down?" And he Jumped around like an Indian in his excitement. I5y this time the men had slid off the sill and the doorkeepers had arrived. "Git the old governor a good seat," said the veteran a.s h? pulled out a large roil of greenbacks. "Git hLm the best, seat in thj house." he continued In a voice that silofuvd Mr. Irvlng's on the stage. There was a private box not yet occupied, and the manager of th? theater, was glad to irush Mr. Curtin into it and end a scene that was not on the pngram. "One of the boys." as h? called himself, then stationed himself in the middle aisle, and for the rest cf the evening gazed intently into the private box at the- old war governor, who ! during th-? mele' was unable to avoid the attention he was receiving. It created mi .ire amusement and applause than any sevne In the play. Mr. Curtin nude futile effi .-Us to ascertain the name of his gallant protector. Philadelphia Times. Several months ago Ocn. McCook paid a visit to Santa Fe with some railroad officials. On arriving at Santa Fe his first inquiry was for one Lucian Stewart. He was t !J that Stewart was in the hospital awaiting death from old age. "Then h may die tonight, and I will Lsee him first." the general quiet'." re marked. And then, with h!s aide, he went directly to the hospital and was quickly by the cot of th? old man. "Stewart, don't you know me?" he inquired in a tender way, at the same time extending his hand. Stewart did not reply for fully one minute, all tho tim holding the general's hind and scanning his features. At last a ray of light broke over his countenance, and with a smile he said: "Yes. I remember you. You are the young lieutenant who never smoked before breakfast." IIre the two broke into a laugh, the heartiest laugh perhaps the old invalid had enj i.Vtd for a decade. Stewart had been the chief of scouts, when, forty years ago, McCook was lighting Apaches on the frontier. The general had not seen him since that war. but showed his deep regard f or his old friends by remembering so humble a comrade. The remark of the old scout referred to a time when McCook. then a lieutenant, and a detail under Col. St. Vraln were chasing the Apaches. They had struck a hot triil and had been on it thirty-six hour3 without food. Fearing to wait to prepare a meal, for every minute was then precious, so close was the trail. Col. St. Vrain determined to keep on the march. Realizing the condition of his men and officers, he had given permission for the men to partake of such rations as they could in the saddle, and turning to his lieutenant, he remarked: "McCook. have a cigar?" "No. thank you, sir," was the quick response. "I never smokfi before breakfast." Gen. McCook has been in command of the department of the Colorado for twelve months past. The new orders do not change his station. Harper's Weekly. William Rogers of Oak Tark has a cat tht has made a strange choice of a play-m.-.te. He is a large cat of the tortoise shell order and about a year old. Every morning he goes out to the barn and roams about till a queer gray rat emerges from the rubbish and joins him. The rat is not just what he should be in the mattor of appearance. He seems to have met adversity of some kind or other and never to have gotten over it. His tail is shorter than nature intended it to be and he goes lame. He is evidently blind of one eye, for he runs against things on his left, while his right seems good ns ever. Put tho cat takes care of him. Perhaps he considers that the rat would not be especially toothsome, at the best. Whatever the cause, he goes out of the barn in company with the lame gray rodent, and makes the tour of the barnyard and the lumber yard, and then across to the railroad water tank, and then back to the barn. They are never more than five feet apart, the cat walking steadily along, as a cat should, the rat running forward a little way at a time and then waiting, crouching and snifling, as is the way of rats. They get a drink from the pools at the- water tank and then stroll back in the same manner. If t-ny one disturbs them both run, though the cat Is not so shy at other times. For a long time Mr. Rogers thought the rat was quite blind and that the cat simply took him out and treated him. as a man might take a disabled and unfortunate friend. Put he is now assured the rat can see with one eye, at least. Chicago Herald. We were all telling mosquito stories at a New Jersey summer resort, when one particularly audacious man said: "Oh, that's nothing. I was off th? coast at Barnegat last summer or a fishing trip, and while we were out on ieck early in the evening, smoking and chatting, a great cloud of mosquitoes, all of them monstrous birds, came out from shore and pealed on the boat; and do you know, in fifteen minutes they had stripped It of every inch of c-ar.vas, and left the masts bare as beanpoles!" We held up our hands in deprecation at this tale, when another of the party exclaimed: "Well. don''t be astonished. I can vouch fcr that. It was only a week after that I was on, a trip along the coast. and the sam.-' swarm of mosquitoes came out after us." The first speaker didn't seem to appreciate this unexpected support, for he muttered: "Humph! They did. eh? Well, how did lyou know they were the same mosquitoes, eh?" "How did I know?" repeated tha other, with a chuckle. "How did I know? Why, they all had on canvas overalls." Ilarpetr's Drawei. "One of the funniest experiences I remember of my boyhood times was that of a couple in our neighborhood who ran away and got married," said Newt Moore at he Union depot last evening. "After the bridal tour was over the couple went to the young lady's home to make peace with the old folks. The youns lady'a father met them at the door, and, taking his daughter by the arm, thrust her into a room and locked her up and gathering up the shotgun ordered his son-in-law off the place and threatened bis life if he ever

If one were to ask 311 th? nervou, fretted, jaded, fagged-out 'women who work day after day, hirdly able to keep on th;4r feet If a p?rson were to ask them what their trouble wis, one would sty dyspepsia, another nervous prostration, another female weakness, and so on. The fact Is. however, that they neirly all have the sime disease, and that disease is chronic catarrh. Thousands of people have chronic catarrh and do not know It. They realize that they are sick, but they do not euspect that their disease Is chronic catarrh. If they have catarrh of the stomach, they call it dyspepsia; If they have general catarrhal debility, they call It nervous prostration; if they have catarrh of the liver or kidneys, th:y say they are bilious or have kidney disease; and If they have catarrh of the pelvic organs, they name it female weakness. The truth 13 all th?se organs are subject to catarrh, and the land Is full of toiling men and women half invalids, who have chronic catarrh In some stage or form of some of these organs. It is only when the catarrh happens ta be located in the head that it Is recognized as catarrh, while catarrh cf the stomach, bowels, kidneys, liver and pelvic organs Is very likely to be mi.-taken for some other disease. T o s.iy that Pe-ru-na cures catarrh, wherever located, i? not only to state a fact, but It Is the statement of a very important fact. There is no doubt whatever that Pe-ru-na would save everyone cf the vast multitudes of women, and men aDo. who hive became miserable from chronic catarrh of s me internal orgm or orgins. Pe-m-na strikes at the source, removes the cause, cleanses the fount, rids the system of the contaminating influences of chronic catarrh, and thus mikes permanent cures.

He was too modest to' be a successful lover, and ha had let fcrty years of his life go by without ever coming to an emotional point. He was In love with a fair being of suitable age, but he would not tell her so, and though she knew it she could not very well give him a tip on the situation. She was willing, because she had arrived at that time of life when a woman is not nearly so hard to please as she might have been at some other time, but he was stupid and went away without a word. He was gone a long, long time, and when he came back he found her still ready. "I hive come back after many years." he said to her as he took her hand in greeting. She had learned something in the years since she had seen him last. "Well, for goodness sake, Henry," she exclaimed fervidly, "why don't you take them?

"On what ground?" asked his lordship. The man approached him with his hand to his ear and said: "I'm deaf, my lord, and cannot hear the evidence " "You can go." said Lord Russell in a whisper. "Thank you. my lord." replied the juryman, taken off his guard. Put the learned judge had not finished his sentence, and he sternly added, "into the box and do your duty!" The man quailed and obeyed in some confusion at the failure of his ruse. Westminster Gazette. BRUTALITY ,N FOOT BAU. Brutal tactics at Springfield were without excuse and without reason. Boston Transcript. To countenance an exhibition like that of Saturday is discreditable to a civilized people. Philadelphia Bulletin. The running record of a foot ball game is about as interesting reading as the recital of a railway rear-end collision. Philadelphia Press. The Yale-Harvard game was "universally pronounced the most brutal exhibition of any sport ever given outside of the most vicious prize ring." Where Is the governor of Florida? Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle. It is a pity that so manly and so good a game a3 foot ball should be marred by the brutalities which mike the accounts of Saturday's contest between Yale and Harvard read like the story of a battle. Chicago Times. Saturday's foot ball game between Yale end Harvard was characterized not simply bv rough and injurious play, but by malicious brutality. This is most unfortunate for the sport and an Inexcusable blow to the popularity of the game In the house of its friends. Chicago Record. It is time that the attraction which allures students to Yale and Harvard should be their educational advantages and the opportunities to fit a man for his battle with life, and not their facilities for the encouragement of slugging, beating, bruising and maiming in the battle of the pigskin.

What we want to see ,,r:r f irmers in Georgia and Carolina do !.s to divide up their land and plant or ps uj.on it suitable to the land. A certain patch of ground will make excellent put:-toes, another fine oats, another sugarcane, another i suited to fruit tree.?, another to grapes, another should be fenced in for the chicken range, another for th e pasture for cows and hogs and not all planted in cotton indiscriminately whether suited to it or not. Augusta Chronicle (dem.). Even under cur present adverse conditions It wmild be possible to ship cotton from southern ports to Japan and offer our customers there better terms than they can Ret in Liverpool. Tho thing needed, however, is to push our Nicaragua canal en'orprise, and then, with the advantage of that short route to Japan, England would be unable to compete with us. When we Kvt this waterway between the Atlantic and the Pacific 0.000.000 consumers' In So ith America who now give the bulk of their trade to l-:n gland will find it more convenient to seek our southern ports and markets, and Japan. China and India will turn away from England and deal with us -in nruei to reap the advantage of quick transit, low freights and cheap raw material. Atlanta Constitution (dem.). There are now no partisan issues to distract the country for two yeirs to come, and the question of a sound financial policy should enlist the interest of every pood citizen regardless of his political faith. It is the paramount duty cf all to turn partisan prejudices behind them and come to tho front to create an Impregnable national credit, and give to our people a circulation that is not only ample for all the varied requirements of industry and trade, but that shall b absolutely safe in the hands of the holder. That this can be done is not doubted by those who look at the subject dispassionately, and in th. present lull In political storms we appeal to leaders of all parties who regard the prosperity of our people a the first duty of statesmen, to make common cause to give the United States the hlzh measure of credit to which it is entitled, and which would give to all classes and conditions enduring prosperity. Philadelphia Times (dem.). Levi P. Morton has a fellow-feeling for millionaires, lie knows that their lives are filled with hardships and that for men In hard luck nothing is so acceptable as a good, fat oflice. He knows that many of them are not given ollic? because it is generally understood that they do not need rh1 cheap salaries attached and for the further fact that they are likely to neglect public business in order to attend to their own interests. He has decided, however, to appoint Col. K. A. McAlpln adjutant-gercral. Col. McAlpin has not been connected with the militia for six or sevcn years, he has not kept pace with the improvements which have been Introduced into the service, he Is not regarded with favor by military men of experience. Col. McAlpin is a mil'.ionalro and has a wealthy wife. Probably Mr. Morton makes this appointment because he thinks the salary of $3.000 will be pleasant picking for Col. McAlpin and because he thinks that millionaires have just as much right to office as other people, even if It is certain thab they will neglect the- public business. Puffalo (N. Y.) Enquirer (dem.).

DOMESTIC POINTERS. What Ls the matten at Blue-fields? Is it not about time for Brother Jonathan to call time on Johnnie Bull's interference in Central American affairs? Ft. Wayne Gazette. We do not want any more dickering with the populists. Republicans can stand, alono and be better off than when sidetracked with the populists. Judge Marshall, once while making a speech, said: "But if it has no bottom?" asked one of his auditors. "Then." said the judge, "I: Ls n.i tub." Same way with the republican party. Muneie News. There will be fun when th? legislature meets. The salm men have organized and intend asking favors, among them the privilege of keeping open until 12 o'clock (midnight), while, on the other hand, the W. C. T. U. will ask that the liquor law be made m ore stringent and that no concasslons whatever be made to the liquor interests. When these questions come up the republican party will be between the devil and the deep sea. Noblesville Democrat. It is hard to tell what the next legislature will 3o in the matter of fees and salaries. A large majority of the county officers are now, or soon will be, republican. They have accepted officer under the salaries fixed by the new law, but a powerful effort will b? put forth to prevent the enactment of a law similar to the on? which has been declared void. The retiring ollicers who have beert conducting their offices under the new law will profit by the decision, as they will be entitled to the emoluments fixed by the old law. Logansport Pharos. It Ls a matter of gratification to the public in general and to newspaper men in particular that a smart young man wno imposed falsrt information upon the Daily Times of Wilksbarre, Pa.. Ls now languishing in Jail because for once the long-suf-frring editor refused to meekly bear th brunt of public criticism and had the real offender arrested. Every town has its young men, and women, too, whoi occasionally get just too smart for anything anl forthwith impose or the editor's confidence In their honesty and intelligence in getting him toi publish s me apparently innocent item which proves to be loaded, and the experience of the Keystone state youth ought to bo an example to thm. Crreensburg New Era. Dr. Miles F. Porter, In 'the current number of the Ft. Wayna Modical Magazine, has an article on emasculation as a preventive of a prevalent crime, anil of the propagation of the species that indulge therein. The doctor urges with force the necessity of legislation irt thLs direction, and claims that laws to this effect would also prevent lha numerous lynchings that are now so freouently recorded. Several years ago Dr. Everett of Cincinnati issued a pamphlet In which he strongly and ably advocated a similar method. Ex-Senator Charles II. Reeve, who has given the subject of crime and its prevention consLdrable thought, is understood to regard the emasculation process1 with soma degree- of favor. Some day, after public sentiment shall have beert thoroughly aroused, legislative bodies will, in all probability, bestow some 'thought on the subject. South Bend Times. - The republican victory is not a month old before the Indianapolis Journal nprns the campalgri for the repeal of the school book law and the restoration of th? bounty to the school book . octopus. In a long editorial Monday is rehashed all its old arguments against the law, and boldly proclaimed its desire to ago in have the xvr people of the; state subjected to the pandcring of thLs gigantic trust. From time imnmorial. the people hod been between tho jaws of this devil fih until a democratic legislature released them from Its power. Th? monopolistic republican press of th3 state, led by the Indianapolis Journal, fought like demons to preserve for the benefit of the trust, iis ar.cient prerogatives of plunder; but the( democracy was ' inexorable and the mon.-ter wa-? fio.red. When the school book law is rc pealed, together with others enacted by the dtmocratlc party for the benefit of the common people, thoy may rca ize th? extent of thfllr b'.urxiar in restoring to power in this state the stockholders of monopoly.
