GRAY; F«ir Next (lov. of Indiana, Wm. e. niblack. • A broken sceptre—that once wielded by “Czar” Reed. t It is * waste of space to say noth* * nig of being very unkind for the “newspajurS lo remind “me-too"'Platt •olf the part he took in nominating ’Harrison. Success cau be achieved in any business by Uuiiritrg Industry, Care* ‘fill Economy and judicious Advertising. The road lo opulence lies 'knee-deep through printer’s ink. It it customary lo speak well of the dead, hut the custom Is more honored in the breach Ilian in the observance, as far as it relates to the 'Fifty-first Congress. Ohio has had only seventeen postmasters holding over from Cleveland's administration. Kentucky fhas only seven, and Indiana only two. And yet Harrison would not violate a law, not even the civil service idea. The Fifty-first Congress approoria led nearly <200,000,000 more than ■t lie Fiftieth Congress but it couldn’t stand the small amount necessary to give the people one cent letter post-j Age. All right, wait until the people’s Cougress takes hold. No wonder Quay got disgusted with his republican colleagues and went j 'fishing. The beginning of the republican Congress was had enough, but *ltie ending was worse. Well, the people will see the country isn’t burdened wijii-another soon. fiiE death of Senator Hearst was a double misfortune to the country and 'the democratic party. The party loses the services of an honest, level Leaded Senator, and owing to the governor of California being a Republican, that party will gain the .yo«e of his successor for the unexrm. which ends March 3,1803.; eat majority of the republit’- have a double edged snick - tlieir trousers leg to be used Ilarrlson boom, and none of |ave st sharper or heavier than Mr. Huston, of Indi--U. S3. Treasurer, who says he resigned because of t*personal, social, And political dissatisfaction” with -the administration. -t Nobody seems lo have heard of Mr, Harrison having tendered his triend, ex-Senatoi Ingalls, a plum in the ■shape ol an appointment, nor has any one heard that the vitriolic Kansan •proposed employ ing any of his spare time during the ensuing year in coralHng delega tes for the present occupant of the White House, to the next .Republican national convention.

The “dog bill” did pass both houses of the legislature. It provides ^h»t all dogs must be registered in •: he township trustee’s office, and taxed accordingly, and that it shall -- ?>c unlawful fbrdogs to go roaming hreond wihotit a “chaperone” i. e., when not accompanied by its owner or the agent of the owner; and ifany dog is caught defying the authorities in this way, he may be shot full ot large irregular holes so that the wind can blow through him.*—JLew Albany Ledger. Amoxg the last things done by the Indiana Legislature was the passing of the fee and salary bill and the bill lor re-districting tlie State for congressional, legislative, and judicial purposes. As to congressional and legislative purposes, Pike county has no changes. A small change was made for judicial purposes. Hereafter court will be held in Pike coonly bn the second Mondays of March, July, and October. The July term of court will be presided over by Judge Heffernan, of Washington. This is done to give Judge Wclborn a needed relief, as his work was rather too burdensome. * Wf. should suggest to ^-Buffalo Bill” that he might add a new feature to his “Wild West” show, which is now in Europe, by employing the exmeinber* of Congress to repeat daily, for the edification .of the adherents of the “effete tnonarehhl systems”, the «*rioi act”, which they have enacted so often during the lifetime ofthe unlamented Fifty-first Congress. The expense would nonbe great, as most ofthe repudiated politicians would be glad to go for their expenses, in order to avoid having to return to their constituents before time shall have kindly glossed over some of their most glaring misdeeds. The books haven’t been balanced yet, but as nearly as can be ascertained without the aid of an expert, it the outgoing Congress has disposed Of pretty much everytl I g in sight in the shape of Available cash, and the Democratic party,-which for several years past haa been “viewing with alarm” the accumulations of an enormous snrplua in the Treasury, need give Itself mo more uneddneeson that It ie now more then likely to be confronted with-a'deficiency thaw a surplus. • The ea*e with which a iy be got rid of 'has been it by -t he late Congress, thing. How to make a will devetope upon This is quite aneasv a thing.

Fees and Salaries. This is no ioitger a 'disputed questions. A bill to regulate fees and salaries has at last become a law. i For a long lime the bill was in very bad shape, bat it finally got in better shape and, though uot without objectionable featu res, it will be upon us after June 1,1892.. You will find the salaries for t he first congressional district of Indiana to be the following: COCKTISS. Gibson ...... Ferry. Pike. Posey . Spencer. \ antlerburgli Warrick ... 19U0 1900 £ *2400 52000*1 1200 12ic ■two 2200' 24001 13001 2100 2200 5100 (WOO 3000 4900 2100 2300 1300 19(0 1900 JB H ■900 1900 1900 4900 1900 Gibson, the only reliable Republican connty in the District, heads the list with salaries larger than any of the Democratic counties (except Vanderburgh). And so it is all over the State, all officials being placed on fair salaries, according to the population of the counties, and the work required. The law was made to effect only officers hereafter elected, on account of the partisan Republican Supreme Court declaring a similar law unconstitutional, which was passed by the Democratic Legislature two years ago, reducing the salary and fees of the Reporter of the Supreme Court— his election under the old law being considered in the nature of a contract. As all officers elected in the future will clearly understand the provisions of the new law, this objection cannot be offered. In l:he large counties, like Marion, Vanderburgh, Vigo and Allen, the reductions will be great. It is estimated that the total saving in the whole State will bo over $700,000 per year, and if the fees are collected by the officials, as the law requires, this immense amount will be turned into the county treasuries, instead of going into the pockets of private individuals. The reductions will amount to about |7,000 a year on an average to each connty, or about that sum, -One trouble in getting a first-class law on fees and slaries was the Republican opposition which was met on every hand. They were not satisfied unless they could get big salaries for Republican couuties, and when they got them still complained. The provision making the population govern the salary was about the best that could be done, considering that there was such a damaud for a reduction as could not be ignored. The law will be well studid by the people of the Slate before it goes into effect, and, shoe Id they be dissatisfied, there may be an appeal to the next Legislature to have it repealed and something substituted therefor. The people should therefore study the present law amt the one to come into effect very closely, and should be sure they have something better to offer, if anything is offered at all.

Skipped Oat. A couple of young girls arrived in Oakland City Inst Monday night and purchased tickets for Princeton, telling the ticket agent that they would procure tickets there for Terre Haute. Soon after the departure of the midnight train, Dr. Clifford, father of one of the girls, and residing between Augusta and Stendal, Pike county, accompanied by a neighbor, arrived, and from these parties the following particulars were obtained: A servant girl from Mt. Carmel, III., engaged to do house work in the family of Dr. Clifford some time since, from all appearance, was a quiet, inoffensive young woman, attending to the domestic affairs of the house faithfully and satisfactorily. No suspicion of anything wrong was aroused in the family until late Monday evening, when the girls were missing. The Doctor, becoming uneasy, proceeded to search the premises, and not finding the girls after deli gent search, went to the stable, and there discovered that his horse was also gone. Returning to the house, he found that his pocket-book was missing. It was thon that the idea entered his mind that the girls had left for good, and by the aid of a lantern, discovered the direction in which the horse traveled. He followed the tracks within a short distance of Oakland, where they were lost. He then harried to the eitv and learned that two girls, answering to las description, had purchased tickets, as before stated, lie is of the impression that the servant girl enticed the innocent country girl of the farm to go to the city and engage in debauchery and vice.—Evansville Courier. '» t>-- rThe Oakland City marshal telegraphed to Terre Haute to arrest the girls, which was done aud the doctor went aflei his daughter and brought her home. _' Senator Palmar. The election of John M. Palmer to the U. S. Senate by the Illinois Legislature last week was hailed with aproval elsewhere as well as In Illiuois. The people last Fall decided by their vole in lavor of General Palmer, and the Legislature knew it. Streeter, the F. M. B. A. candidate, had gone to the Republicans and had agreed to support certain measures which are a curse to the farmers aud laborer* of this country, and which are a stench in the nostrils of true Democracy and fully as obnoxious to the alliance and the F. M. B. A. Thus he had prepared, before his election was to take place, to violate his trust, to be a Judas in the hour of his country’s need, while Palmer, since before last Fall’s elections, lias stood by the demands of the masses who cast a vole in his favor last Fall. Moore and Cockrell fcnaw all this, and in a conference decided to rote for Genet al Palmer. Representative Tobeneck, another F. M. B. A. mat*, yoled Ihe 154th time for Streeter. Theeolored member, and Republican, of. course, Morris, voted Mr Cicero J. Lind lev, as did all the Republicans; The result, gratifying it is. had one sadfeature—the. traitorous conduct of Streeter, who, at the last, had almost secured the Republican vote; bnt bis stiaiegy was discovered and a good mail wa* elected.

THE GIRL ABOUT TOWN. I have had enough experience the past week to last me for a month. I took a look into the church andjfound that, in this town, much is being done for humanity. But poor humanity lives on the same, in many cases, as if nothing were being done. These are they who do not attend the churches: who never hear a sermon, never go to Sunday school, never attend a lecture; and, in short, know nothing of the untiring efforts of the many good men and women who labor, not only to make themselves an honest living, but to teach a stiff-necked and peryerse portion of our people, here and elsewhere, how to live happily and sumptuously. I suppose that, all over this moral heritage in this land of of plenty, there is not a vast difference between the manners and customs of these who occupy the stage on which all the people are the players. I grow disgusted with most of them. Many who labor most have the least, while the most idle and useless often fair sumptuously every day. Who is to blame for this? Is the man who spends thirty or forty cents a day for a beverage to blame the more, or the less, than the man who gets that thirty or forty cents? If a man labor all week, and on Saturday night spend his earnings for some* thing to intoxicate his brain and ; damn his soul, he is to blame a good deal? And when, on Monday morning, his wife or mother must go to the^ieighbor’s wash tub to earn clotting and food, ought not there come to him an argument sufficient to convince him of , his error? .But, does there? It would seem that there comes no warning, for many go on until an ignoble death calls them to ah account that none can escape. To such a man, I have only to say, go on, if you want misery; but, let me admonish you that you have no moral right to render yourself and others miserable by your conduct. What is your feeling when, on Sunday morning, after you have spent your week’s wages on Saturday night, you see your wife and children sit at a scanty board while the man who got your money lives sumptuously at his table with his family on the luxuries of life which your hard earned money has bought, and for which you got only injury to body and souL Go on! You will live just so! It is your nature! But, if you want to be happy and want to make your family and yourself happy, be wise and reform I your ways. Let the Girl About Town admonish you, whether you live here or elsewhere, in the name | of God, and Home, and Native | Land, to be wise and reform your ways. Attend Moral School and thereby learn how happy people live and prosper.

Passing down street the other day unobserved, as the respectable girl usually is, I heard a country gentleman remark to one I supposed to be his friend, that he did not like some of the restrictive laws of this State, because it took his natural'rights from him. The question came up in my mind whether he knows what ^“natural right” is. That man, no doubt, had neverJ thought that, when the “natural right” to sow evils broad-cast is indulged, the injured has a natural right to legislate that evjl out of existance by the “natural right” of self-defense. He should have remembered that men have no “natural right” to be anything that will interfere with the happiness and peace of their neighbors. If you tread on a serpent it becomes, not your enemy, but more your enemy that it was. Docs this siginfy that it was not already your enemy? That serpent was a serpent before you angered it, and so should have been killed at the begining. Just so with an evil. Your opposition maks it no more an evil. It is only placed in a better condtion for you to see its enormity. Begin to eradicated evils of a community and you will soon see how bad a people may be. Show me a neighborhood where no stir is made between the good and the bad, and I will show you a community that is not keeping up with the moral advancement of these modern times. Therefore do not discourage, but go forth with a two edged sword, and hack the bottom out of some one else with the edge from you, and every time you draw the sword back to hack again, let the edge next to you hack tha^rotton out of yourself: such will Hjive a wonder*, fully good effect from the moralist to the free-booter and the mounter bank.

W. C. T. u. coLumn ED1TID BT (luliii X. Cabe’s Dream of IugersollTille. I bad a dream which was not all a dream. I thought I was on a long journey through a beautiful country when snddeuly I came to a great city with walls fifteen feet high. At the gate stood a sentinel whose shining armor reflected back ihe rays of the morning sun. As I was about to salute him and pass into the city, he stopped me and said: “Do you believe in the Lord Jesns Christ 7* I answered: “Yes, with all my heart.’ “Then,” said he, “you can not enter here. No man or woman who acknowledges that name can pass in here. Stand aside I” said he, “they are coming.’' I looked down the road, and saw a vast multitude approaching. It was led by a military officer. “Who is that?” 1 asked of the sentinel. “That,” he replied, “is the great Colonel Robert I—the founder of the City of Ingersollville.” “Who is he ?” I ventured to inquire. “He is a great and mighty warrior, who fought in many bloody battles for the Union during the great war.” 1 felt ashamed of my ignorance of history, and stood silently watching ’the procession. I had heard of a Colonel I— * * * but, of course, this could not be the man. The procession came near enough for me to recognize some of the faces. I noted two infidel editors ot national celebrity, followed by great wagons containing stram presses. There were aho five members of Congress. All the noted infidels and scoffers of the country seemed to be there. Most of them passed in unchallenged by the sentinel, but at last a meek looking individual with a white necktie approached, and he was stopped.j I saw at a glance it was a well-known “liberal” preacher of New York. “Do you believe in the Lord Jesns Christ ?” said the sentinel: “Not much!” said the doctor. Everybody laughed and * he was allowed to pass in. There were artists there, with glorious pictures, singers with ravishing voices: tragedians and comedians, \rbose names have a world wide fame. Then came another divissiou ot the infidel host—saloou-keepet s by thousands, proprietors of gambling hells, and theatres. Still another divission swept by; burglars, thieves, thugs, incendiaries, highwaymen, murderers—all— all marching in. My vission grew keener. 1 beheld, and lo! Satan himself brought up the rear. High afloat above the mass was a banner on which was inscribed: “What has Christianity done for the country?” Another—“Down with the churches,” “Away with Christianity—it interferes with our happiness.” Aud then came a murmur ot voices, that grew louder and' louder until a shout went up like the roar of Niagara: “Away with Him! Crucify Him, Crucify Him!" I felt no desire now to euler lugorsollviile. As tbe last of the procession entered, a few men and womeu with broad-brimmed hats and plain bonuets, made their appearance, and wanted to go iu as missionaries, but they were, turned rudely away. A zealous young Methodist exhorter, with a bible under bis arm, asked permission to enter, but the sentinel swore at him amjulljf. Theu I thought I saw Brother Moody applyihg for admission, but be was tefused. I could not help smiting lo hear Moody say, as he turned sadly awir:

“Well: they let me live end work in Chicaao; it is very strange they won’t let me into Ingersolivilie,” The sentinel went inside the gate and shut it with a bang; and I thought, as soon as it was closed, a mighty argot cauiedown with a great iron bar, and barred the gate* on the outside, and wrote upon it in letters of fire, “Doomed to live together six months.” Then he weut away, and ail was silent, except the noise of the revelry and shouting that came from within the city wails. I went away, and as 1 journeyed throifgh to land, I could uot believe my eyes, i’eagie and plenty smiled everywhere. ” The jails were all empty, the penitentiaries were without occupants. The police of great cities were idle. Judges sat in court-rooms with nothing to do. Business was brisk. Many great buildings, formerlycrowded with criminals, were turned into manufacturing establishments. Just about this time the President of the United States called for a Day of Thanksgiving. I attended services in a Presbyterian Church. The preacher dwelt upon the changed condition of affairs. As he went on, and depicted the great prosperity that had come to the country, and gave reasons for devout fbauksgiving. I saw one old deacon clap bis handkerchief over his mouth to keep from shouting right out. An ancient spinster, who never did like the “noisy” Methodists—a regular 0 1 d blue-stocking Presbyterian couldn’t hold in. She expressed the thought of every heart by shouting with all her might, “Glory to God for Ingersolivilie 1” A young theological student liften up his hand and devotedly added “Esto-perpetua ” Everybody smiled. The country was almost delirious with joy. Great processsons of children swept along the highways, singing: “We’ll net give up the Bible God’s blessed word of Truth.” Vast assemblies of reformed inebriates, with their wives and children, gathered in the open air. No building would bold them. I thought I was iu one meeting where Bishop Simpson made an address, and as he closed it. a mighty shout went up till the earth rang again. O, it was wonderful! and then we all stood up and sang with tears of joy, * “All hall the power of Jesus’ name! Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown him Lord of all.” The six months had well nigh gone. 1 made my way hack again to the gate of Ingersolivilie. A dreadinl silence reigned over the city, broken only by the sharp crack of a revolver uow and then. I saw a man trying to get in at the gate, and I said to him, “My friend,whereareyou from T* “I live iu Chicago,” said he, “and they’ve taxed us to death; and I’ve heard of this city, and I want to go in to buy some real estate in this new and growing place.” He failed utterly to remove the bar, but by some means be got a ladder about twelve feet long aud with its aid, he ciimed up upon the wail. With an eye te business, he shouted to the first person he saw: “Hallo, there!—whsts the price of real estate in Ingersolivilie T* “Nothing!” shouted a voice;you can have ail.you want if you’ll just take it ami pay tie taxes.” “What made your taxes so high ?

said the Chicago man, I noted the answer eareftally: I shall never forget it: “We’ve had to build forty new jails and fourteen penitentiaries—a lunatic asylum and an orphan asylum in every ward; we’re had to disband the public schools and it takes "all the city revenue to keep up the police force.” “Where’s my old friend I— ?” said tbe Chicago man. “O, he’s going about to-day with a subscription paper to build a church. Theyhave gotten np a petition to send out for a lot of preachers to come and hold revival services. It we can only get them over the wall, we hope there’s a future for Ingersollville yet.” The six months ended. Instead of opening the door, however, a tunnel was dug under the wall big enough for one person to crawl through at a time. first came two bankrupt editors, followed by Colonel I—himself; and then the whole pope 1st ion crawled through. Then I thought, somehow, great crowds of Christianssurrounded the city. There was Moody, and Hammond, and Earle, and hundreds of Methodist preachers aud exhorters, and they struck up, singing together, “Come, ye sinners, poor and needy.” A needier crowd never was seen on earth before. I conversed with some of _ the inhabitants of the abandoned city, and asked a few ot them this question: ‘'Do yon believe in Hell?” I cannot record the answer; they were terribly orthodox. One old man said, “Iv’e been there on probation six months and I don’t want to join.” I knew by that he was an old Methodist backslider. The sequel of it all was a great revival, that gathered in a mighty harvest from the rained city of Ingersollville. Blaine’s Surrender, No doubt Mr.- Blaine has read a good deal of Democratic literature tbe last few years. Though a Republican leader, he is not just iu line with his party. He wants to adopt Democratic ideas; bnt, test he should lose Republican support, he seeks to disguise it in a term he calls “reciprocity.” It seems like he is a long time finding out the meaning'of the word. Anyhow, he has learned that free trade is a necessity, but he seeks it only where it will do his New England friends good at the expense of the*Western people. He would open free trade with too many agricultural eonntries for the good of home agriculturalists. He wants to be a. freetrader and protectionist at the same time. Probably no man ever in public life has faced two ways on as many questions as has Mr. Blaine. But the letters he a few years or months ago wrote on the subject of the tariff, and some of which took issue with Cleveland’s message of 1888, afiord the most consplcioos illustration of the readiness with which he swaps horses^ In one of his letters he uses this language: “I would seriously object to the duty on wool. To repeal that would Beriously discourage what we should earnestly encourage, namely, the sheep culture among tarmers throughout the union. To break down wool growing and to depend on roreign countries for tbe blanket under which we sleep and the coat that covers our backs is not a wise policy tor the government to adopt.” Now, Blaine’s reciprocity ideas are in conflict with this opinion. Even in the other protected countries, raw materials are admitted free. . Of course a coat will be cheaper tbe ■cheaper yon can buy the material to make it from. This the Plumed Knight knows very well, and in another letter which Mr. Blaine wrote ' he shows evidence of having had a | great “change of heart.” In discussI ing the Pan-American Conference he : said:

“It wag not strictly urged by the delegates. who bad carefully studied this subject, that the free admission of course wools from these countries could not prove injurious to the wool growers of the United States, because the great profit derixed from the higher grades discourages, if it does not actually prohibit, tbeir production. On the contrary, they mantained that the free importation of the coarse wool results in large reductions of the cost of the cheaper grades of carpets, and enable the manufacturers of the United states to secure an enormous export trade in these fabrics.” As about three-fourths of the wool imported lo this country-is of a class that Blaine suggested should be admitted free, Mr. Blaine almost reached the Democratic position on the Wool : Tariff as set forth in the Mills Bill, and struck a blow ®t the whole system of protection. Can any one say ; that this and other such admissions | had nothing to do with the last election which showed the people’s _in- : dignation at the old line protectionist ? The Democratic party will, in our judgment, run a man for President in 1882 on a Free Trade platform, restricted, as may be necessary' to produce revenue for the support of the Government economically adminis- : tered. “Citizen-” in last week’s Petersburg Brest, makes a good point ou a plan for the redemption of the wayward. Properly managed, a reading room as a pass-lime resort would be a success. But just you establish suth a resort and let the idea prevail that it is .a place for the redemption and reformation of drunkards and men and women of other immoral and wicked inclinations and practices, aud it will be shunned as a place, wiiihh, to enter would be considered a confession of gnilt to which most people would not want to be considered a party of. More we study these things, more we sec the necessity of doing everything in exactly the right way. When a reading room is to be established, those interested should not wait until the vices of the young impel them to it. Yet, better late than never! So let there be a resort established and all the good accomplished possible. Notice te Deg Owners.
