Advertise™ will make a note of this fart! Thursday, Dec. 18,1884. Bro. J. I). Armstrong has sold the Rock port. Sentinel to Mr. John Wyttenbaeh. - _' Wm. M. Moss is a candidate for assistant Secretary of the State Senate. Mr. Moss deserves it and we hope he will “get there.” "We venture, the prediction that there will he a grand Republican backdown on the -taritTquestion before tiic next election.

The coming' of a Democratic administration seems to liave encouraged Secretary McCullough to suggest a number of useful reform^. Head the Sentinel prospectus. If a subscriber to that excellent paper you will find it a free lancedn polities, as well as a faithful chronicler of news. Riddlebeiuier, the “readjuster” member of the U. S. Senate from Virginia, is “readjusting" himself, it is said, preparatory to making a flop over to the Democratic party. t hi — The employment of deputy marshals to assist the Republicans to carry Cincinnati, last October, cost the government $1S,322, exclusive, of the amount paid for hull dog revolvers. It would be a good thing for the legislature to abolish the State library and give what hooks there are to one of the State colleges. The library is ef no earthly use to anybody except tine librarian. As compared with 1880, Georgia, Maine, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Vermont all show a decrease of vote. Texas gave the largest-increase of any of the other States. The Indianapolis Journal's Washington correspondent, says that the entire Democratic delegation from this State iu Congress are pushiug. Secretary of State Myers for Commissioner of Pensions. The aggregate of the votes c3jst at the recent election for President is Id,016,073, distributed as follows: Blaine, 4,84J,659 : Cleveland, 4,913,-' 901; Bulled 133,880; St. John, 150,633; Cleveland’s plurality is66,242. The whole number of Post-office in the United States June 30, 1884, was 50,071. The number' filled by Presidential appointment, was 3,332. The number tilled by appointment by the Postmaster General, was 47,695. It is gratifying to know lhat Gen. Grant is astute enough-to kuow what is good for him. If he is a" failure as a business man, he is not fool enough to accept a pension of $5,000 as long as there is a prospect of being placed ion the retired general’s list at $18,000 per year. Mr.-Grant uuderstanda4he tricks of political trade if he is a sfilure as a banker. Mu. Hendricks’ definition of civil service reform is a good one and to the point. In his Brooklyn speech he arid “As it was in the days of Andrew Jackson, let a true man eomc to be President of the United States, and let true men he called around him to ard him in the public service, and let these men resolve that the only test of qualification for office under them shall be honesty and fitness for the service, and you hare civil service reform.” ' ' ‘

It is good to note that a measure of t4riff reduction upon some medium articles of clothing will be introduced by Sunset Cox as a “feeler,” and an effort made to utilize it as a nucelus for the reduction upon certain other articles of common use. We should like to see this attempted and succeed. - A hole must be made in this wall and the'greatest effort is to dislodge the first stone. A little here, a little there, and soon the beneficent effeet will he so felt that like Oliver Twist the country will cry “more.”

Tiie Evansville Journal complains that the President and the Secretary of the treasury desert the Republican party, on the tariff question. What of it? Hundreds of men did so be* ' ~~fore the election. Thousands-will do the same before two years. There will-be no free trade, because nobody favors such a thing, but tariff-reform • is coming—and it is coming soon. If the opposition to Democracy is' foolish enough to endorse the Blaine idea of tariff-tor-monopoly-ouly in 1888, as it did in 1884, its candidate won’t carry half a dozen States.' A bill was introduced in the House by Mr. Warner to prevent the contraction of the eurienoy. It provides when the volume of National Bank currency falls below 88!ld.318,984 by thesur render and cancellation of National Bank notes, the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and direc- ^ ted to issue United States notes in denominations as uear as may be of the bank notes surrendered and cancelled, redeemable in coin in the same mnu•itef as United States notes are now redeemable, to a sufficient amount to maintain tho volume of paper currency, including National Bank notes greenbacks, and notes, authorized by ;thi* |tc t to a total of fS50,GOO,QQO.

The §4. Louis Republican says: “Time’s ^whirligig has spun out a pretty thread of poetic justice in the vote by which the Democratic parly takes its revenge for the great fraud of 1876. It has elected a President from Samuel J. Tilden’s Slate aud elevated to the Vice Presidency the Indiana statesman who was defrauded of that office eight years ago. The victory, too, is won'by carrying indeuticatly the same Stotcs which cast their electoral votes for Tilden and Hendricks. It was New York, New Jersey, Connecticut aud Indiana, with the States of the South, which elected Tilden and Hendricks aud which n#w elect Cleveland and Hendricks. The talk about Jbuying a house for the governor or raising his salary is we trust “all talk.’’ The duties of the governor are not enormous, Indianapolis is a cheap place to live iu aud the $5,000 per year which lie gets for four years is' splendid remuneration. There are but three States in the Union which pay their governors more than Indiana pays hers; onejjis California, $0,000, and the other two New York and Pennsylvania, $10,000 each, and for obvious reasons. There are but five States other than Indiana which pay as much as $5 000. Michigan pays but $1,000 and the others range from that to. $4,500. Indiana’s rate of pay is not merely ample but generous and we trust the people will not allow an increase.

Mr. Robert J. Burdette, after a pleasant connection which began on New Years day, 1872, lias retired from the Burlington Hawkeye. The silken cord is severed with mutual regret, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Tlie man who has tilled the world with laughter drops a tear as he steps over the threshold of the newspaper he has made famous, and the llawkeve throws theold shoe after him for luck. Mr. Burdette’s lecture engagements have so grown upon him that they now absorb all his time. We believe there is no lecturer w.ho is more in demand than Mr. Burdette. Two years ago he left the rostrum, but was induced to return to it by an offer of $100 a night. Even at these figures the demand for his services is such that he is nb\v forced to relinquish newspaper work entirely. Although lie forsakes the pleasant paths of journalism for the golden apples which grow in other fields we love him still, hut have to confess that such mercenary motives in a brother shock and paiu us. When he gets ready to return to the fold, whether proud or penitent, he will find the latch-string out. , An income tax is perhaps the most equitable form of raising a Governs rnent revenue that could be devised. If honestly carried out, it imposes the load of taxation upon the shoulders of those who can best afford to bear if. More than this, it brings home to eaeli tax-payer .a distinct appreciation of the advantage of legislative and administrative economy, advantages which are frequently lost sight of under an indirect system of taxation. It is certainly strange that in what is called an aristocratic government such as that of Great Britain, taxes are imposed upon wealth as such, While in a Democratic Republic, such as the United States, a distinct tax which calls upon wealth rather than poverty is looked upon as highly objectionable. Given the two fprma of government, a stranger to the methods in use in plther would certainly draw the conclusion that an income tax would be looked upon as desirable by the great mass of the people of the United States, while the wealthy controlling class in Great Britain would use their influence to prevent the adoption of any such form of assessment.—Boston Herald. A Washington correspondent gives the following interesting information : Few people are aware that in the vaults of the national treasury.are deposited a large quantity of diamonds and numerous other precious stones. Among them is a bottle four or five inches long filled with diamonds. There are many different kinds of precious stoues set in gold ornaments intended for personal wear. The first collection of which there is any authentic account lias been in the custody of the treasury department for over forty-five years. They were sent to President VanBuren bylhe Imanm of Oman, whose- capital city, Muscat, on the Persian gulf, is the most widely known of all Arabian cities. The Imaum having found that Van Buren was daiulier than himself sent these diamonds and pearls to him, hut as our Constitution prohibits' any per

80116 connected with the government accepting presents from foreign powers or potentates without special act of Congress they were stowed away in the treasury-safe, where they now are. But the Ipnaumfs gift is not all. | There are in the collection superb jewels received at other times and in various ways. Torquoises, blue as Syrian summer skies; emeralds like the reflection of Ireland's green turf in her crystal-wared lakes; rubies, Oriental rubies that flash a world of liquid crimson light until the eye grows dim with gazing; pearls as white as the foam of the seas; opals that shimmer in resinous radiance as only the precious- opal can ; and sapphires—all these are there. There are also many beautiful and many quaint ornaments’, jeweled brooches, rings,- Jsword-hilts, he-diamonded creeses brought from the Malay islands, and oilier useless trinkets of precious material. They have no definite owners, and are placed where they are because they were to valuable to bo thrown away,'and nobody can claim them because nobody lias any right to them. The whole collection should be sold at once, and the money he put some use for the j benefit (.f the country at large. j

IIow much it costs to run the government of the United States, is not understood by the people. It is a vast sum, as the following estimate which has been presented to the House Committee ou Appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30,18SG'; Pensions $6,000,000; military action, $3,73,344; forfeitures $7,303,000; consular and diplomatic expenses $1.625,176; Navy $30,651,600; Post Office Department $56,099,1.61; Indian Bureau,$7,323,016; Army, $26,110,389 legislative, Executive and Judicial expenses$22,366,500;; Agricultural Department $699,110; sundry civil expenses $32,826,402; District of Columbia $1,761,073, improvement of rivers and harbors $8,171,400 ; total $254,820,707. The estimates for the present fiscal year were $213,269,659; and appropriations $177,776,450; increase of the estimates over the present year $43,402,051 ami over the appropriations for the present year $82,816,0S7.

We find the following concerning the extension of the I. & E. railroad in the Daviess County Democrat: While in Evansville Thursday a reporter of the Democrat had a bri,ef conversation with President Mackey regarding tho building of the Evansville, Washington and Brazil railroad north from this city. Mr. Maekjjy said that the reason the road was not completed through Daviess county this year was because of the stringency in money matters. “Men interested in railroads this year,” said he, “have been considered fortunate to he enabled to hold on to what they now have, without building any new lines. Some of the moneyed men interested in the extension of the I. & E. have had business misfortunes, and others will have to be found to take their places. We confidently hope, however, to be able to complete the road to Worthington, Greene county, during 1885. This will give your .people a northern outlet to Indianapolis and the eastern lines of railway. We have acquired considerable property along the line of the road north from Washington, and have made many valuable improvements in the shape of depots, sidetracks, etc., on the line between Washington and Evansville, and the road bed is being very greatly improved. In regard to the tax voted in Washington, Steele and Elmore township in Daviess county,” he continued, in answer to a question, “we have not made up our miuds what action to take. It is probable, I think, that our folks will ask your people only onehalf tho amount of tho tax voted to aid the building of the road.” It appears that the world produces more than it is able to buy. It does not produce more than it desires, but simply more than it has money with which to buy what it desires.—San Francisco Call. In this the Call is certainly correct. The farmer produces more than he can sell, the manufacturer produces more than he can sell, the business man filishis stores with more than he can sell and so on throughout the whole curriculum of business occupations. The farmers cannot buy what he would like to have, and in many cases cannot buy what he actually needs, because he'cannot sell his produce. The manufacturer can not continue his business and is compelled to suspend because he cannot find sale for his ware. Both are compelled to do without the products of many other legitimate businesses which they need to make them happy and prosperous. •] Republicans call this overproduction, which means that the country produces more of everything than it needs. We call it a lack of (trade, which has been destroyed by tiie want of markets. The lack of markets is another progeny of high tarifi'. The avenues of commerce are practically closed to us by the imposition of high protective tarifi’ on all imports. Exports are measured, in a great degree, by the imports, and if we make it unprofitable for foreign countries to trade with us by imposing jau almost prohibitory duty upon the articles imported the exports which they demand in exchange mtist'be reduced in a corresponding ratio. Throw off the impediment to imports and the products of other countries Which we need to better our condition wdl flow in to us and the surplus produce of this country will be gladly taken iu exchange. Thus we will be made doubly happy by having a market created for our surplus, and by receiving in exchange for that which we need for our comfort and convenience. The times would then change from good to better, till the whole human family would be able, by industry aud economy, to enjoy’ the blessings of life as they should, and the whole social structure would be thus elevated to a moral and intellectual standard.

Mr. Ingersoll’s Plagiarism. To the Editor of the GIobe-Democrt: Mal»e>, Mo., Dec. 3 188-1—I have just seen in your enterprising paper an editorial on Mr. Ingersoll’s late lecture delivered in Kansas City. I wish to call your attention to his rioted lecture delivered in Cincinnati in the year 1879 or 18S0. At that time I was reading a very old and excellent work entitled “Evidences Against Christianity, ’by llittell, an Englishman. I recognized at once Mr. Ilittell’s style ami Mr. Ingersod’s Mistakes of Moses, as reported by the Truthsceker (I think of Boston) and upon examination I found a chapter of Mr. Ilittell’s book entitled also “Mistakes of Moses," which, upon comparison, prove to be word for word the entire chapter, identical with the lecture of Ingorsoll. \ Shortly afterward Mr. Ingersoll publish his lecture “Mistakes of Moses," which I obtained, and I there find he has re-written Mr. Hittell’s chapter, but has retained the facts, figures and thought of that author. In this hook, over his own signature, he says that his lecture has beeu erroneously reported, and in orler to have it appear as ho desired it ho has taken that method of publishing it. Ho nowhere alludes to Mr. HitteU’s work but claims the whole asoriginal with himself. You will find the above statement correct if you care to obtain a copy of Hittcll. . Otto Kochtitzki'.

COURTS AN1) LAWYERS. An Indiana colored lawyer, in trying to get his client out of custody, exclaimed : “Dar is a iaw dai's called ‘hah his carcass,’ and 1’ae going to hah do carcass oh dat client o’ mine, dca’ o’ alive." A lawyersays that a convenient way of testing the aiiectiou of your intended is to marry another woman. If she don’t love you, you will find it out immediately. Judge T-, who is now a very able Judge of the Supreme Court, when he first came to the bar was a very blundering Speaker. On one occasion, when he was trying a case involving a right of property to a lot of hogs, he said: “Gentlemen of the jury there were just twenty-four, exactly twice as many as there are in that jury-box."
