THURSDAY. OCTOBER 6, 1887. By ALL opps the best feature of President Cleveland’s speech at Indianapolis was his tribute to the memory of Thomas A. Hendricks. It was both appropriate and just. _ L

- WHILE we¢ do not presume to know anything about the probable outcome of the Indianapolis election, next week, it occurs to us that gigns of an’ ominous republican scare are plainly visible on the political sky. ; -

NexT Tuespay the city election at Indianapolis takes place. . The democratic candidate for mayor is Dr. Edenharter; the republican nominee is the present incumbent, Mr., Denny, who was elected two years ago by a very small majority. - .

THE BAD WEATHER last week played sad havoc with the sanguine expectations of the managers of the Fort Wayne Fair. The attendance on Thursday, the only favorable day, was quite large, being estimated at something like 15,000. Unfavorable weather s vexatiously severe on agricultural exhibitions. o o

THE ELECTION of city officers at Indianapolis takes place next week. As the day of election approaches, the proverbial nastiness: of the partisan press of that city increases in degree and extent. It is doubtful whether in the whole United: States may be found a meaner set of politicians than those infesting the city of Indianapolis. -

THE COMMITTEE appointed by the democratic state central committee of Massachusetts to investigate ‘the matter, reports that the 3,828 Massachusetts republican office-holders, from the Secretary of War down to the lowest Charlestown gavj'-yard laborer, draw from the public treasury not less than five million dollars per year, in salaries. ' '

For YEARs the colored voteis of Indianapolis were the main-stay of the republican party. This prop is about to be knocked as high as Gilderoy's kite. = The colored people are becoming decidedly independent in, their political action. A colored democratic club has been organized at Indianapolis,' and its mempbership is assuming’ formidable diméensions. -

THE TRIAL and.conviction of the New York aldermanic boodlers including Jake Sharpe, the boss briber. is not only a great triumph for the law, but is also a great vicgory for. the New York World—the greatest evev achieved by a newspaper. - The laud‘able efforts of the World to wipe out boodleism ought to,meet the appreciation of eyery honest man throughout the country. - :

THE Michigan City Dispatch now thinks that Gen. Mahlon D. Manson, the hero of two wars, should be nominated for Governor by the Democracy next éyear.. The Dispatch thinks it is in the air that the old General is to be the coming man. Well, go ahead. The Democrats of Indiana have been voting for him with periodical regularity_for about twenty-six years, and we guess tley can stand it a few years longer. I‘ie is.a mighty good man and a Democrat of the stalwart type. ,

It 1s saip that the crowd at.the preésidential reception in Indianapolis last Saturday numbered 50,000 people. A'goodly number of democratic politicians from various parts of the state were in attendance. Everything passed off very pleasantly. The address of welcdbme by Gov. Gray was of an exceedingly happy and felicitous character. He said neither toc much nor too little. While appropriitely complimentary in his allusions to the President, he carefully guarded against the gush and slush that so often mars oratorical efforts on such oceasions.

Mgs. ANNIE E. WiLsoxn, one of the recently appeinted Custom Inspectresses of New York, distinguished herself in 1872 by taking command of a disabled ship, and after battling with the elements twenty-four days arrived safely at St. Thomas. Sheis a widow, with one child. Some friends appealed to General Arthur for a custom house appointment for her, but as there was no vacancy she had to wait, Secretary Fairchild, hearing of her heroism, decided te confirm her appointment, and Collector Merrit accordingly sent it in. Both deserve credit for thus recognizing this heroic woman. ;

It is a noticeable fact that doctors now give much smaller doses of medicine than they were in the habit of giving ten, fifteen and twenty years ago. This departure simply signifies that the doctors, like other professions, are keeping step with the progress of the times. The next step in the right .direction will be for the family physician to apply his watchfulness and skill to the prevention of disease, as much as to effect a cure. There is no good reason why a family physician, after hav{ing become familiar with the physical make-up. and peculiarities of those whom he is expected to treat in case of sickness, should not give regular directions as to the best course whereby illness may be avoided. In other words, he should be employed to keep the patient well, instead of being depended on solely-for the purpose of again putting him on his feet after being taken down. :

' TWELVE MoRMON FAMILIES have already settled at Alberta, in the Dominjon of Canada, and others will soon settle at Medicine Hat. The Toronto Globe has heard that the Mormon rulers have been in correspondence with the Canadian Government on the subject of colonizing in Canada, and that the answers they received were not such as to prevent their endeavoring to effect their purpose. Canada is welcome to every Mormon within the boundaries of the United States. We shall be only too glad to get rid of them. , »

Scort RAY, who spent the past two weeks in New York and Washington, says the Hill sentiment is very stong in New York, and that there is no truth in the statement- that Gov. Hill has entered into an alliance with Mr. Cleveland regarding the next Presidency. The Hill men are simply passive, for the time being. They propose to let the administration wing of the party have full sway in the present campaign. If they are successful at the polls, the credit shall be theirs; if otherwise, it will be time enough two lonths from now to détermine upon a ?ourse of action. . »

l SincE the national treasury is averl(lowin’g with surplus revenue, andthere is ho.immediate prospect for a remedy, he administration is probably doing he best that can be done under the Jircumstances—buying: up eutstanding onds. Just now'thisis perhaps the est way to relieve the money stringncy. If fifty millions can’ be safely put out that way, and the debt 10Wered correspondingly, Uncle Sam is only at the disadvantage of paying a bonus for the privilege of taking up his notes before they are due. - If this course will avert a financial crash, the public will in all probability give it cheerful approval. L :

JupGE GrEsHAM doesn’t believe in beat ing around the bush. With commendable candor he admits that he would like to become President of these glorious United States. Thes} are his own words, as spoken to a reporter in New 'York: ‘Ambition to fill the presidential chair is not a thing to be ashamed of, and any man who has that ambition may express it with perfect honor and credit. - Besides, I believe that if a man wants anything in this world he will more surely’ get it by a frank avowal that he wants it and by working for it than by beating around the bush.” P. S:;Judge Gresham says he never said anything of -the kind—that he was’'nt interviewed at all on the subs ject of the. Presidency. L .

Gov. DorsHEIMER calls attention fo the fact that the 200,000,000 acres of public domain granted to railroad corporations were all voted away by acts of Congress passed by the Republicans. This policy JWas first initiated on July 1, 1862, and the amount of land donated. first and last under Republican auspices is 200,000,000 of acres. The purpose of democratic administration has been to recover for the use of actual settlers, not the railroad lands properly taken up in conformity with law, but those‘upon which the monopolists have fastened, in disregard. of the rights of residents or of the necessity of leaving the unsettled portions open to the occupancy of those who desire to found homesteads upon them.

TeE BEAUTIFUL little city of York, Pa., celebrated its municipal centennial last week. It is a thriving town, lying in a fertile country between Harrisburg and Baltimore, and is the seat of large and varied manufacturers. Possibly some of our readers may not know that York was the seat of government for several months during the Revolution, when the British drove congress out of Philadelphia. This is an interesting fact, but this centennial has brought to light two other interesting factg in the history of material development. One is that the first iron steamboat was built there abont sixty years ago, and that the first American locomotive was built there by Phineas Davis, a Quaker of great imventive ability. - Of these things York certainly has reason to be proud. In the adjoining county of Elkhart may be found quite a number of former residents of ““Little York.”. A

.~ A COMPLETE TRIUMPH. New York World : . The Saratoga Convention was an administration body, If the resolutions and the composition of the new State Committee left any doubt on this subject, the World’s canvass of the members settled it o : The campaign thus starts with a conclusive test of the strength of the adminjstration within the democratic organization in the President’s own State. The election will furnish the test which this Convention invited of the President’s strength with the voters. It is better that this test should come now in the pivotal State upon whose vote everything depends, rather than next year. Any miscalculation made now could be remedied. = A mistake then would be fatal, ' Inasmuch as Gov. Hill carried New York two years ago by 11,000 plumlity with all the Mugwump organs and leaders bitterly against him and the National Administration lukewarm, it would seem that with a ticket and platform and candidates and the State. Committee satisfactory to the administration, with Gov. Hill earnestly supporting the nominations, and with the Times, the Herald, the Post and other Mugwump organs giving their hearty approval to the work of the Convention, there ought to be no difficulty in

electing the ticket. Such a fortuitous combination of circumstances could hardly have been looked for a short time ago. sk The result of this- test, boldly challenged on the skirmish-line of the Presidential contest, will be awaited with interest throughout the Union. -

~ JOHANN MOST. There is so much truth and force in the following - article, which appeared originally in the Lancaster (Pa.) Examiner, that we cannot resist the temptation of reproducing it in these columns: . . '

“The impudence of the men of the stamp of Johann Most is only equalled by their depravity. This scoundrel has been chased out of Europe and came here tolive upon the earnings of American idiots and to advocate murder and lawlessness in return for the tithes which kindred scamps or cranks may pay him. He is not satisfied with the mistaken tolerance so far accorded him, but has preached blood and flame until some poo? half-witted dupes have been led into the commission of crimes for which they should and doubtless will be hung. ' ~’ “Most is not satisfied with the notoriety he has already profited by. He realizes that he will be entirely torgotten if he does not continue doing something- to provoke comment and excite attention. So he has made application to be naturalized in New York. In answer to the usuall questions of the clerk he said he believed in the Constitution of the United States (which was a great piece of condescension) and *‘in laws passed by the proper authority, if they were good laws. If he believed laws interfered with the rights of the people he would resist them by force.”” In other words, he would constitute himself the judge of the quality and propriety of all laws and obey what he thought good and resist with forceé such "as did| not suit him. b

“For cool impudence, this takes'the. cake. Of course he was refused naturalization and will doubtless urge his friends to threw dynamite catridges at the police ' and election officers in revenge. . The man was refused naturalization, but there should be some way of disposing more effectually of such blusterers as. he. “This. man and his associates are engaged already in a conspiracy to overthrow and destroy the government under which ‘he e¢laims protection. He makes his living by ineciting to riot and urging men to crimeé. He should long ago have been ‘sent back to'‘the place whence he came. - And yet'he has the impudence to come forward and ask us to make him a citizen, so-that he can be more of a fire brand—seeking to be naturalized that he may pervert citizenship to the destruction of the goyernment. @ . - : :

““Notonly has a good precedent been set in denying him the opportunity to abuse and disgrace our citizenship, but a closer scrutiny upon naturalization should be kept up until Congress can elevate the standard of qualifications requisite to invest new comers with the elective franchise. Itisthe avowed purpose of this man and it is the known purpose of men like him, to abuse the ballot and turn it into public injury—apply it to treasonable purposes. For this reason it should be firmly denied him.

“But there is another reason why suchi professional rascals should not be allowed to become citizens. They are engaged in the business of creating disorder and encouraging and abetting crime. If they can be made citizens of the United States they will soon be slipping into foreign states on pefarious missions and if arrested will want to cover themselves with the shield of American citizenship. They could thus pursue their schemes with impunity or involve this country with her neighbors. Nothing would please such people better, and either we should be soon involved in all sorts of controversies, if not wars, with our neighbors over this vagabond crew, or American citizenship be degraded in the eyes of all mankind. What would hinder Most from running back to some country where he is wanted and flaunt his citizenskip in the face of the authorities? And why should this avowed enemy of government and civilization have a vote to kill that of a loyal and useful citizen? 1t should not be, and all like him should be denied.”’” = :

¢ That Latin Course Again. In the recent discussion concerning the Latin Course, the fact seems to e ignored by the Leader that different colleges do not all require the same preparatory course. Oberlin requires more Latin than Bloomington. The University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, as well as the older colleges in the eastern states, requires for admission some knowledge of Greek in addition to Latin. Haryard also requires an'elementary knowledge of either French or German. A certificate admitting a student to the University of Indiana will not necessarily admit him to any college in the land. A certificate issued in accordance with the disputed commission will admit the holder to either the State University or Purdue. The course is adopted to those two schools and those only. If the editor of the Leader will refer to a copy of that paper of Aug. 26th, 1886, he will find there the statement of the former superintendent of the schools in regard to the Latin course in connection with his annual report. e On page eighteen, of the Septemnial report occurs the following statement: “Should any pupil enter the school who wishes to prepare for a college course, he will be given the benefit of classical studies to fit him for his college course.”’ - Aside from this, if the work has been by some pupils,superficially performed, (I do not say that it has or has not,) is it just to judge all by a part? If diplomas have been granted to some pupils who were not fairly entitled to them, isit just to conclude that there have been no thorough or conscientious students among “‘the ninety and nine?’ If the Ligonier schools have been improperly conducted, during the past ten years, are not the patrons of the schools to blame for so long tolerating such a state of affairs? In finding fault with the work which has been done, do they not speak to their own condemnation? s Let us welcome the new teachers and endeavor to encourage them in their efforts for the imiprovement of the schools. There is aﬁ’ways ‘‘room higher up,” for schools as well as indjviduals, but no good can be done by assailing former teachers and pupils. _ - ALUMNUS.
