WANING BARBARISM.

In the New Year’s day dispatches was the following from Chicago: j The customary wild orgies were pulled off in Some of the cases anti ■hot. Is, bin, details were sternly suppressed by the proprietors and will not be learned until the witnesses sober up. The fact stands out boldly that Chicago is growing weary of the New Year orgies. The revelry and debauchery are no longer fashionable. There war marked diminution this year in the number of persons renting evening clothes and installment jewelry, standing off the butcher and grocer in order to make a splurge in some case. The whole thing is. of course, barbarous, and should be diseontenanced by civilized people. The jollity, is forced, and sentiment - fithere be any—-manufactured. The custom originated in the eating places of "dear old Broadway,” so greatly loved by' Mr. Gorge Cohan. From there it spread to little imitation Broadways all over the land, and to other classes thdn that—made up of stage folk;J

sports, t male and female; men about town, and visitors out for "a time," who. had left their consciences at home—which at first adopted it. It is all, o's course, veriy vulgar. There is about it none of that spirit —whether it be a solemn or a joyous one—that should mark the passring of the year. The only motive is the desire to “cut loose," and have "a devil of a time.” And nothing can be worse than to fix a definite time for it, and to ex'alt the debauch —or try to —to the dignity of a ceremony. There can be no poorer sort of "fun.” There is, it must be confessed. a certain-naturalness about the festivities when they are staged on "The Great Way,” for itself is nothing but a show place, with its parish restaurants and their still more garish custoriiers. But even there the thing is 'unreal —a mere performance.

Many who would not be influenced by moral argument are, one is glad to believe, coming to see the folly and stupidity of the Broadway type of New Year celebration. Perhaps it is just as well to allow the custom to wear itself out, as it seems to be doing in Chicago. Mdstmen prefer to be rational even in their pleasuers. Even the true “sport” must look with a pitying contempt at some of the things that are seen at these New Year’s eve riots. We trust that the disgust, with its 'accompanying reaction, now seen at Chicago, may spread throughout the country. The time has come to "reform it altogether.”—lndianapolis News.

Opposition Io Murphy Even in His Own County.

Notwithstanding the backing of the democratic state committee, Congressman Peterson, the TaggartFairbanks machine, the special interests, etc., if a little more effort had been put forth ‘‘Boss’’ Murphy of the Tenth district might have been retired as district chairman and . a more acceptable man put in his place. Owing to the activity of the people behind Murphy no one else cared to let his name go before the convention, but. had another name been presented the strength of the opposition would probably have been much greater than generally repo rted. . I he. Democrat is reliably informed that on a ‘.show down." half of the delegates from W hite county would have been against the re-elpetion of M n roily. and the White Comity Democrat; says of the delegates from that county: "Wtiile tlf ere was undoubtedly a considerable undercur.rent of oppoSition to Mr. Alurphy. over the district, the opposition was unorganized and had no candidate around whom to rally. In Tippecanoe county the democrats elected mostly anti-Murphy delegates, their delegation standing •'> for Murphy and 24 against him. Outside of Tippecanoe the only successful opposition to the selection of Murphy delegates was in White county. In Cass and Liberty townships men were selected who were said to be opposed to Mr. Murphy’s selection, and here in Monticello the local Murphy ticket was beaten and men selected who more nearly represented the sentiment of a large majority of our local people.”
