Goverxor GrAY is not to be found napping. -In passing the bill to-reor—-ganize the State Board of Health the enacting clause- was left off in some manner by the late legislature. This of course killed the bill and the appointments made by Gov. Gray were null. But he, in looking over the matter, found that neither of the two republican members of the old board had qualified according tolaw, having omitted the taking the oath of office, and filing the required bond. As soon as this was discovered Gov. Gray at once ‘declaréd the places vacant and appointed two Democrats to the pesitions. The republican press and the medical fraternity are in. arms.

THE MEDICAL BILL.

The followihg.are among the provisions of the new imedical bill which has passed the Legislature and was made a law by the signature of the Governor: All medical practitioners in Indiana shall, upon exhibiting a diploma from any reputable medical college, and making affidavit of having graduated, be’ entitled to a license from the clerk of the county where they desire to practice. Practitioners of ten years standing in other states, and of three years'standing in this state, who have also attended one full course of lectures in a reputable medical college, shall al--50, upon proof of thesame’ on their ewn affidavit, receive a license to practice in like manner. The issuance of alicense to any - person who has not complied with the requirements of the act is to subject the county clerk to from $25 to $lOO fine and the licence is to be forfeited. Persons practicing without a license are to be judged guilty of a misdemeanor ahd subject to a fine of $lO to $2OO, but the act does not apply to women practicing obsteterics. The bill provides ‘that practitioners who have not taken out a license shall be prohibited from suing or recoyering for any services rendered, and persons paying them may recover the amount paid or property delivered. - :

.+ 'ADVICE TO SMOKERS. ¢ “The deadly illness of Gen. Grant is ascribed to cancer, and is said that the curious growth was caused by excessive smoking: The distinguished. character of the patient has made the case conspicuous, and many veteran smokers have already discarded the ui?' of tobacco. - : iy

‘We believe that the poison of cancer is distinct from the poison of nicotine: There are, however, a few simple rules commending themselves to every physician which will tend to make the use of the weed less injurious, and which it is well to inculcate at this particular time, . '

In the first place, smoke light colored cigars. They are less strong than the darker shades. Select the boxes markClaro and Colorado Claro, and avoid those marked Maduro and Colorado Maduro. . :

Secondly, never smoke on'an empty stomach. Smoke after luncheon, or after dinner or supper, but do’ not smoke long after taking feod, or early in the morning. A light cigar after a hearty meal frequently aids digestion, but. if one smokes just before eating, the appetite will be lessened and food will not be relished. Thirdly do not smoke the whole of the cigar. Saecrifice a fourth or fifth, because in tae stump the poisonous oil or nicetine of tabacco becomes concentrated. Fourthly, do not smoke more than four cigars a day.. And in the last place, after smoking cleanse the teeth and thus avoid the discoloration and impregnation with the fumes of the tobacco. A moderate and careful use of tebacco does not harm the teeth, . but when excessive it causes the gums to receed, and covers the teeth with the. blackening oil of the leaf. : ; ~These rules are few and simple but if followed they can not help but be of lasting benefit to every smoker.—[New York Sun. . bl

WHAT MAKES THE BAD TIMES.

’ The New York Sun has a notable ed- ‘ itorial under thecaption, “What makes ‘the Bad Times,” in reply toa - corres‘pondent who attributes the depression to the withdrawal of the national bank ‘notes from circulation. The Sun shows ‘that money was never so.cheap as now and that as the depression extends ‘throughout Europe as well as the United States, it can not be attributed to a gold standard or to the tariff laws, nor to anything in the condition of our shipping and ocean transportation, “for it exists in Ergland, where there is an unprecedented extension of the merchant marine, just as severely or even more 80 than in this country, where for ‘'years our merchant marine has been declining ;nor yet is it caused by the failure af the crops, or by wars or famines in any part of the world: The erops have been generally goed for seyeral years, and no wars or faminesof any account have existed, yet we may say, in a general way, that. the depression is the result of overproduction. That is to say of spending money and labor in ways that, are not profitable, and that give no return.” Thearticle concludes us follows:. ‘“Yet while this great collapse is undisputablé,'we may be well contented over the fact that it is not so destruetive as it might be, and that business is quite 38 good and the situation of the country quite asencouraging as we ought to expect.

Under the republican %o.}icy the total of ligluor revenue has been $1,159,263.907, Now what has the republican party given in return fog all this?, Just whatit gives to any industry which it taxes and from whieh it derives a revenue—immunity, protection, respectability: and legislation. Need it be stated that the right of government te tax rests upon the tacit agreement of the tax.ing authority to protect the person or industry taxed? Whenever a tax receipt is given or a license certificate issued it isa guarantee of legal protection. X If the dominant party has formulated a gigantic reyenue scheme to tax each gallon of liquor manufactured and then sell a tax receipt to each saloon keeger authorizing him to vend his wet goods, it clothes the business with protection, surrounds it with the strong arm of the law, establishes a police force to guard lit, gliyes it gtm{)efix}cmental sanction and legal respectablity. it In [tfe gays of the crusaders when the American matron assembled at the saloon doers to sing and pray and besedch the saloonist to quit the accursed husiness and 'spare their husbands and Sons; the proprietor of this business caﬂmly,pointeg those christian ladies to the tax certificates hanging over his decanter, one from the United States

The brewer in the New York Tribune %uts at exa.ctg as the republican ‘flatfo mand My Bliine wished them o understand it, wished them, the liguor interests, not the gullible temper‘ance republicans, to- understand it. Hear him, “eur; national organization is twenty-four years old,” just the time ‘the republicans were -in power. The ‘National - Brewers' ‘Association was ‘Lformed to Hpush their interests into ‘politics. ow well they succeeded let this brewer say for none know better ‘than they, and let the N. Y. Tribune be the month piece for it is accredited re‘publican authority. “During all these \years the republicans have been in pow‘er in" national affairs and I submit to ‘every candid brewer, be he der%crat or republican, if the brewing intérests of this country have not grown to immense 1' {)roportions.” Yes, from 50,496,923 gal- “ ons in 1863 to 525,925,65 in 1884 and this the brewing interests alone, the distilling intérests are not included.

This fact that the republican party has “always treated fhe brewer’s interests fair ly;:"ﬂn “uwhose policy 1 to fos-

Irish are with us and the saloon keep - ers have returned,” and for the other fact stated by the immaculate Commer-cial-Gazette that “republican saloon keedpers have returned to their firstlove and will henceforth be republicans,” and it will further account for the large German support to the republican national .ticket as stated by Mr. ‘Blaine to a correspondent of the associ -ated press immediately after election: “All through the west the Germans supported me nobly. How else could ‘ I have carried Chicago by 9,000, Cincinnati by 5,000, Cleveland by 5,000? Ohio, ‘Wisconsin, 'fllinois, and {owa have the largest German population in the west, and I carried them by splendid majorities. Such able and influential German editors as Markfreit, in Cincinnati; Kauffman, in Cleveland; Praetorious, in St. Louis; and many others, bro't great strength to the republican cause. There was an immense effort made to prejudice the Germans against me, but it failed. They are a wonderfully coolheaded people, inflexibly honest in their conclusions and just in their judgments, and I have abundant reason te thank them for their generoussupport. I shall not soon forget it. At diﬂgarent foints in the west I found German and Irish clubscordially uniting in public

demonstrations.” jh : This shows how shrewd Mr. Blaine was when he wished to show that he was in strict harmony with the record of his party in its “policy to foster, protect and encourage the home industries,” “every American industry.” This explains the motive of his plan for a ‘permanent liquor revenue. - - The Commercial-Gazette of Cincinnati after election says: “We have further tosay to them that the glorious ‘German. republicans, who stood up so firmly for their principles, and saved the-States in whic}l)x they were strong to the republican ticket —who came to the front %ere in Cincinnati with 5,000 ma{grity for Blaine and Logan—are the Republican’ Old Guard of Ohio, and with their moderation and liberality of sentiment and clearness of judgment, are likely to be very influential counseJors when the republicans have lines of policy to determine.” How thoroughly in accord with Mr. Blaine is the Com.-Gazette in appreciating theiinfluence of the liquor Interests in their support of the republican party. They appreciate past favors. , - Ande the Albany Evening Journal chimes in heartily to the same key in the following words: ‘“The wonderful popularity of Mr. Blaine with the masses is shown by his success in New York city, where he received 30,000 more votes than the republican alderman The peovle gge for Blame.” Next to the N. Y. Tribune the Albany Evening, Journal! was the leading republican ‘ Faper in the State. The cause for the arge Blaine vote in New York city is the same as in all- saloon centers. "The brewing, distilling and saloon interests | had been protected by the republican‘ F_arty as their policy in relation to the iquor question. L ‘ In . this connection 1 wish to say a word in regard to Mr. Blaine's preposition to make the liquor tax a perma - | ient revenue, as set forth in his letter of Nov. 22d, 1883, from which I have made the foregcing extract. As Mr. Blaine shrewdly calculated the sequel showed that the liquor interests were pleased with it and regarded it as *‘a sop! thrown to them. The liquormmen rallied around him, brewers, gistillers, and saloonists with a fervor and a unanimity unknown befoxe in their support of the republican party. The thing} they feired was prohibition and they wel{ understood that a mild revenue as Mr, Blaine proposed would be their greatest barrier againt prohibition The tendency had always been under the =liquor revenue system, that the revenue received into the treasury would debauch the public conscience, and it would do thatin the future. National parties would stand by the liguor business as its protectr, gecause it paid to do it; it brought enormous streams of revenue into the treasury by

which they could run the government and make a good financial showing tor their party. While the lic%uor interests fayored this proposition of Blaine fora permanent liquor revenue, the idea of I%er-manency was what captured them. ow did the tax-payer look on the proposition? He sai(fy “this will pay my taxes.” See how diabolically Blae proposes this bribe to every tax-payer. Tt makes the taxes ($86,000,000) on spirituous and malt liquors a permanent resource to all the states, enabling, them thereby definitely to readjust and reduce their own taxation. - This then -is the compact he proposes to ratify between the tax-payers and the lighor interests. Those interesss should pay the taxes and in return those interests shounld be perpetuated. This revenue that should 'go to pay the taxes would ayerage $1.75 per capita to the ordinary tax-payer. Reckoning five persong for every vote it would be $8.75 of taxes for each voter per annum and for the state of Indiana $3,461.000. Now this $8.75 to each and every ta,x-ﬁayer wo'd serve as hush money. ' He should keep hands off of the lignor business, stifle his sentiments, “put his conscience in his pocket,” and this definite, permanent tax should be his reward. What else is this than a deliberate bribe to the tax-payer? Never. was a bigger devil with longest tail and hoofs and ‘horns coiled upunder the garb of an angel of light than was couched in these bland words of the presidential candidate of the republican party in his grand scheme for a final and permanent settlement of the troublesome liguor guestion, which proposition he says, “I have ver{l. carefully. considered f‘cv)r several months past.” - Revenues and taxes derived from crimes and sins debauch the moral sentiment of all recipients of such receipts. The tendency necessarily is to palliate the evil and protect it and perpetuate it for the pay there is in it. : 3 :

- The Leader says “Mr. Monroe ought not-object to the liguor revenue for it pays his pension.” Precisely so! who can consistently conderan the liguor crime when he accepts profits derived from it? So it acts upon me as hush }money. This liquor-crime money runs | the government, builds navies, supports the army, pays -the officials, builds school houses and government buildings and so long as the dominant party, so long as the pensioner and the school teacher receives this blood money let them have the consistency to admit that th%y are particellas_ eriminijs, - Logically and morally, so long as the government receives $91,000,00§ per annum from the liquor business 1t is bound to do what [%he. republican parfy has done, viz: protect tfle traffic. T{e policy of the republican party, the proteetion of the liquor traffic,is money amd the poliicy of the republican schemer of liquor revenues 1s money. . - ; « The prohibition party say cease to protect this traffic oFdea,th cease to accept its bribes, .cﬁase‘t%be debauched by it, prohibit the accurséd thing.

THE COUKSE OF POLITICS. ~_The Administration of President Cleveland has to an unusual degree secured the confidence of the people irrespective of party. Neither ignoring nor disdaining the political methods which has paralyzed many aninspiring dictator. : i i : His appointments _haye been in accordance with no rule which has heretofore governed in such matters, but they have been all the stronger on that account. The idea is gaining ground that the President is following out after his own manner a purpose most clearly defined in his -own mind. In this there is every reason for' confidence and congratulations among 'Democrats. ‘ :

Spoils do not constitute the whole of politics The influence of public gatronage has Dbeen far teo strong eretofore, far too commanding, and it 1s well and prudent to begin a reform in this direction. 3 ¢

The people have demanded something more than a change of parties; they have sought achange of methods —a change in the tone and temper in public life —a new spirit of devetion to the public wellfare. " All this must be secured. The Administration of Mr. Cleveland must give to the nation unguestionable assurance that these radical changes can be had under the guidance of the Democratic party, or its time of service will be short. :

There is something much more important, much more serious, much more engrossing than the distribution of offices. The policy of the administration, embodying the principles of the fpart:y' platform, must . commend itself alike to the intelligence and conscience of the people. - Necessarily it will be aggressive, for the days for negations have passed. To the Democratic,party is- intrusted the conduct of the Government, and the methods of an oppositon party must be abandoned. Pledges given in the past, pledges of administrative reform, of civilservice reform, of tariff reform, lare now to be redeemed, or forever abandoned.

It is well to carry these things in mind at this time, Those who look only to office-.giving to determine whether or not thisis to be-a Democratic Administration, are making a grievous orror. Those who impatiently demand some daclaration from the President concerning all the disturbing questions of the hourare also blundering. All these declarations will come in due time, we doubt not. This is to, be a Democratic -‘Administration or it’ is to be nothing. There is no need for ‘anxiety; no cause for discontent. The future is bright enough, and it will justify all the patriotic hopes based on : Democratic success. There is wisdom “1n waiting, and no General under any clamor, will move until his army is in readiness and his-plans are completed. The president has always in the past confounded his enemies; there is no ground to fear he will now disappoint his friends. He has surounded himself with the representative leaders of the party, with whom party interests and public interests are entirely safe.

Interesting Figures,

The annnal report of the Indiana bureau of statistics for 1884, says a ¢orrespondent of the Chicago Times, shows gratifying progress The agricultutal statistics., he says, show ‘thdt while the acreage of wheat was less by 58,398 acres than in 1883, the yield was 9,125,629 bushels more, the average yield per acreincreasing from 10.3 bushels in 1883 to 12.50 in 1884, The total wheat crop for 1884 was 40, 531,200 bushels. The highest average was in Noble county, which was 18.17 bushels per acre. The yield of corn 18 not so gratifying. With an ‘increase of 12,564 acres over the eorn ‘area of 1883, there was a decrease of 539,438 bushels in the product; the @average yield per acre in the State being reduced. Theoat ecrop yislded 23.581,108 bushels, as against 19,567, 789 bushels in 1883. The total value of farm pieducts including increase in live stock, for 1884 is given at $155,085,763. The value of coal and stone products, $2,500,000, manufacturing products, $153,851,872. ° Total value of products of Indiara, for the year 1884, $321,437,5685. ‘ The+ Statistics of manufacturers gshow 12,229 estiblishments, a decrease -of 22 from the number reported in 1883. The capital invested has, however, increased $587,994 during the year, being now $53,041,649. While ;the, number of establishments has thus decreased by 5,016, the capital invested has increased by $363,603, and the value of manufactured products increased by $3,824,590 over 1883. The totals for 1883 are as follows.,

The chief of the bureau in a chap ter on pauperism, considers this concentration of capital into fewer workshops, employing fewer men at a re. duced wages, as one great cause of the increase in pauperism. “Our pauper plantation,” he says, “to a very larga extent recruits from our mechanics, who are either out of employment or have to work a$ starvation wages.” The number of acres of land cleared for cultivation during the year is given as 144,400, Oaly 189 miles of railroad were constructed during the year, making the total number of miles in the State 5,429. The number of real estate mortgages giver, and the amount of the same, increased somewhat during the year.

Much trouble and ill-feeling has ! een caused bg rival n;txslicants learning thecontents o paﬁers iled at the department by one another. Friends of the Administration say that | the reason wh% the New York World attacks the State Department is that its progrietor made one request of the President. hat was that Charles Gibson, of St. Louis, should be appointed Minister to Berlinj that the President had decided to make the appointment, but that Mr. Bayard interferedand secured the place for iis favorite, - The Commissioner of Agriculture havin% ‘ had his attention directed to the fact tha various States and Territories have prohibited the introduetion of Texas cattle because of the alleged danger that they will communicate ‘a fatal discase to the native caltle of such States and Territories, has requested the Texas cattlemen to forward him reliable information on the subject. Rumors were current here, Thursdaf to the effect that gross frauds and irregularities had been discovered in the treasulay' department, that Secretary Manning and Assistant Secretary Fairchild had been in consultation with reference thereto, and-that a geneml and thorough investigation would egin at once.

It is understood that the policy of this administration with regard to appointments toplaces in the Southern States that are now held by colored republicans will not be to substitute white men for colored, but to replace incompetent or dishonest colored repablicans with colored democrats who are worthy and capable. In accordance, it is said, with this policy, the Postmaster-Gen-eral has just appointed ex-Representative Tom Hamilton, of Beaufort, route afent from Beaufort to Jacksonboro, 8. C. Hamilton was the leader of a small band of colored men who supgorted the Hampton government in South Carolina in 1876, Secretary Lamar has furnished the accounting officers of the Treasury Depart‘ment a computation of the Mgroportions of the $916,704 recently award to- the Government in the suit of the Union Pacific

By this order no right of the Southern Pacific to these lands was .vreeognized, and the matter will be heard by Secretary Lamar on ‘~aplpeal from the commissioner’s decsion. It is asserted that when the facts are fully presented and eonsidered by Secretary uLx\mar there can hardly be a doubt that the claim of the Southern Pacific to these lands will be recoghized. . "7 ¢ L i % * SEORETARY MANNING'S PORTFOLIQ.

The friends of Secretary Manning state that while there is 1o truth whatever in the report that he intends to resign the troasury portfolio to aceekt the collectorship of ¢nstoms at New York city, there is a possibility of his retiring from the eabinet at some period in the future, when -he shall have fully accomplished his mission of strengthening the democratic Fartv by his reor%anlzatloni gt treasury affairs, He made great sacrificesin abanclonlm(zl his business connections at Albany and entering the Cabinet in compliance with the President’s _wishes, Rt&t) he ‘came to Washington fully prerare Ito remain until he eould safely withdraw in favor of some other acceptable incumbent of the treasury portfolio.

'During the gast ten days “‘the number of these %risoners as been considerably augmented by the receiptof stragg!jng rebels captured 'in surrounding disicts. It isnot known now just how many rebels were thus held prisoners at Colon but good authorities place the number at about four' hundred. = Authentic information has reached this city that the officers of the Colombian Govetnment selected one hundred of the worst rebels imprisoned at Colon, and Placing them on board a steamer carried them out into the bay, where the entire one hundred were thrown overboard and drowned. :

CLAMORING FOR OFFICE.

Secretary Manning’s return to Washington after an absence of two weeks, was the signal for a siege of callers, most -of them R‘olitl‘cians, at the Treasury Department. he number of persons cilling on him reached groportmns scarcely equalled since the first days of his adwinistration, It is now generally conceded that his visit to his native State had something to do with New York state and city apßolmments. Delegations from various Demoe:atic organizations in New York State are expected here soon, and they will probably devote ‘more attention to Secretary Manning than to the executive mans:on. Besides tlre New York appointments the Secrctary will have a number of other important alppointments to dispose of, among them the Collector« shi%at New Orleans; a successor to Register Bruce, of the Treasury, and perhaps the removal of a number of internal revenue agents, which it is said Commissioner Miller has recommended. ’ :

THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

Thursday’s Cabinet-meeting was one of anusual imgortance. Tie three principal sne!()fect.s under consideration were the allied questions of the invasion of the Winne-' bago lands in Dakota and :the Oklahoma tract and the unauthorized occupation of public¢ lands and erection of fences. Decisions asto the action to be taken in each of these ‘cases were virtnally co cluded. In the Winnebago matter a proclamation will be issued at once notifying settlers that the lands were illegaily oPencd. to settlement. This proclamation will recite the fact that the landshave been decid: d to. be Indian lands, and that their occupation Dy settlers is illegal. Under the terms of the proclamation the land will have to be vacated at an early day. On the Oklahoma question the decision reached was, to take stepsto ascertain the exact facts as to the present occupation of the Territory by cattlemen. The recent )proclamatiml warned all invaders of Oklahoma to vacate, dnd the President believes that a sufficient:time in which to comply has already veen allowed. The steps to be taken to secure the expulsion of the cattlemen are not-fully determined uponh, and may embrace another proclamation. Whether this is decied necessar{lm not, Cabinet officers say the Dresident has determined upon cle iring the ‘T'erritory before many weeks have passed.
