’J’he Indianapolis Journal asks what’s the matter with Jeff Davis for Democratic Secretary of War. I t would be a much fitter appointment than Dan Manning for Secretary of the Treasury. The Senate high license bill was killed in the State Senate last week by a vote of 27 to 14. We are unable to find .Mr. Hoovers name in either the list of those who favored the bill or those who opposed it. ' i " To Senator Hoover belongs the honor of being one of the three Democratic Senators who voted, for the State Civil Service Bill, m the Senate. We regret that lie failed to vote on the High License Bill, and on the right side. Now that, Senator Harrison lias voted foi the Texas Pacific landforfeiture bill and "Senator Yoorhees has voted against it, our Democratic exchanges will let up on their endeavors to prove that ’ Harrison bill- -which’ he never did. ■WI * 1 ■■■■WliriMMllWi The claim of Mrs. Sarah May, for SIO,OOO for her deceased husband’s services in preparing the plans for the new State House, was just, and the State was in honor bound to pay it The vote by which it finally passed the Senate, last Friday, was 28 to 18. Senator Hoover, of this district, voted against the bill, h W- x The Democratic Legislature of Indiana yesterday defeated a high license (S3OO and 500) bill. Owing to the St. John Prohibition vote, the Republicans were defeated in November, and the defeat of high license in the Legislature followed as a matter of course. The thirdparty Prohibition voters did more iast Fall for whisky, than wnisky has been able to do for itself in twenty years.— Chicago Evening "Journal.

A full account of the dreadful malady which is killing General Grant, may be found on one of our inside pages. The grand old herd’s days seem surely numbered, and he is eying as he has lived, calm, patieiit, invincible of soul; The -greatest captain of his age, and the greatest of living Americans, the feeble malice of those who have denied to himUie slight recognition of placing him upon the retired list of the army, will detract nothing from his true fajne but will reflect dishonor upon ‘them anddiscreditjapon'the Nation, The only man in the Legislature or out of it who, so far as we have heard, has venturned to defend the apportionment outrages, was one mau who said he favored-them on account of his undying hatred of the Republican party. Base and wicked as such a motive is, it is nobler than tW most of his fellow partizans can urge. Pure partizan hoggishness is their sole motive, and that, earned to shell lengths as m the cases of the apportionment bills, is more dishonoiabie than a rancorous and fanatical hatred. “ The State Senate found the same defect ns Senator Hoover’s life time sentence bill, that was pointed out by The Republican ' and in ordering it engrossed for the third reading, it was. amended ‘so as «o make the time of life sentences of convicts thirty years, less time earned by good behavior, instead of twenty-five years as ■at first. Thfe bill, however, was . drilled at the third rending by a TBotion to indefinitely postpone, by a vote of 24 to 20! X motion jo reconsider the lust vote was deflated 1 .

The infamous gerrymandering bills give to the 237,000 Republican votes of the state, only two con* gressmen, while the Democratic party, with a plurality of less than 7000, reserves to itself the privilege of electing eleven. In other words 16,000 Democrats can elect a congressman, in Indiana,* but it requires 118,000 Republicans to accomplish the same thing. The legislative bill is even worse if possible, than-the congressional bill. It binds the voters of the state hand and foot, and a popular majority of 20,000 in the state will not be sufficient to wrest it from their hands. Under its provision s the Republicans of the state can not elect more than 25 out of the 100 representatives, and 15 out of the 50 senators. More utterly unjust*and infamous apportionment bills were never passed m a northern state, and the districts they croate rival even tire famous shoe string district, of the Mississippi Bourbons. The Republican party may not always have been wholly guiltless in tlie way of partisan apportionment legislation, but for anyone to assert that they ever perpetrated anything in undiluted villisny with these bills is to belie The facts of history? and to insult the intelligence of their hearers.

The New Districts.

The j Oongi’essional apportionment bill was amended in the Sthte Senate, last Monday, but not improved, in fact the changes made it worse, if possible than before. The bill now masses the Republican vote in the Sixth and Ninth Districts instead of the Sixth and Tenth. Warren and Benton bounties with their heavy Republican majorities are given to the Ninth. It will be seen that these Changes are expected to make the Tenth District Democratic, by a small majority. The Senatorial district of which Jasper county forms a part, now consists of BeUton. Jasper, Newton and Pulaski. The addition of Pulaski will greatly reduce the Republican majority in the district. This Legislative district remains Unaltered, Jasper and Newton forming the district. Benton county is no longer connected with White county, but is joined with Warden to form a single district. L—— -1 y": -

The County Commissioners.

The County Commissioners met in their regular March session last Monday.—Hons. Way mi re, Prevo and Nichols all being present. The Saloon license applications occupied the greater part of Monday's session. Ti mothy O'Connor, of 'Remington and Frederick W. Rowe, of De Motte, were the only .applicants. O’Connor is an old timer but this is Rowe’s first venture, and DeMotte’s first saloon. There was no opposition in either case, and of course the applicant had no trouble in establishing better characters than the common run of Divinity students, and the Commissioners had no ‘choice but to giant the licenses. A number of miscellaneous Claims against the county were dls posed of on Monday afternoon. Tuesday was largely t&ken tip ia considering the claims of a number of citizens of Keener township, who asked the Board to pay them for time and money expended in working.up the late murder case, in that township, and brmg.Bg the guilty man to justice. The 80.4 rd examined %ito the matter Very fully and finally allowed to the v.iriotis claimants sudhlieut to re-etnbdrsu uoe 91 for the money .they Lac expended. Various oilier claims were considered and passed upon. Wednesday was devoted mainly to Wd aftd bridge mattfeW.

The Times refers to the new appointment bill in the following vigorous language: The animus -is plain, the jintended result palpable, the disgrace infinite. Of course, the measure went through by the application of the ‘‘gag” the natural incident of any despotic act, and the only thing needful to place the indcliable stamp of infamy on the whole transaction. This pervjision of justice thus stands naked and unclean before the world. But betore the re-appor-tionment bill passes the Senate would it not be well for the [Democratic leaders to consider whether their own inconceivable greed may not overreach itself? The; present misrepresentation is bad enough, anc| it is not to tho interest of the Democratic politicians to call attention-4o it. Last year the Democratic party cast forty-nine and seventy-one hundredths per cent, of the whole vote, and yet they elected nine congressmen and will seat ten, who constitute nearly seventy-eight per cent, of the delegation. There seem to be a hiatus, as it were, between thirty-nine and seventy-one hundredths, and seventy-eight which can not be satisfactorily explained by any equitable standard. We presume, however, tnat'if the bill is approved by both Houses the Governor will sign it, since, according to Fronde’s rellectidh, “where all are selfish,' the sage is no better than the fool, and only rather more dangerous”. It now remains for the Republicans to do all they can to defeat this iniquitous usurp atmn, ’ar)Kt If unsuccessful, to go forth to the peopie with a protest oh their bps.

—The head and heart are bothsickened to read the ieporfof the committee charged with the duty of investigating the Knightstown Home; The condition of affairs shown is revolting; and is a blistering commentary upon the partisan management introduced into the benevolent institutions of the Sta te by the last Democratic Legislature, of infamous memory. With this report to add to the sum of villainies justly and properly chargeable against it, the offense of the Democratic party is so rank that it would smell to heaven. The people of Indiana cannot easily measure the shame and disgrace that have come to the State through Democratic ascendency, to say nothing of the actual cost in dollars and cents, of its imbecile, corrupt and extravagant rule.— Indianapolis Journal.

New York Sun: '“There is no money in base ball nowadays, ” said Joh nE. Allen, one of the directors of the Providence Club, at the recent base ball meeting in this city, “The time was when a man who put his money into a club was quite sure of coming out more or less ahead; but that is past. When the National League had control of all the best players in the country a few years ago, and had no opposition, salaries were low, and a player who received $1,500 for his season’s work did well. In 1881, when the American Association was organized in opposition to the league, the players’ salaries at once began to go up, as each side tried to outbid the bther. When the two organizations formed what is known as the national agreement the clubs .retained their players at the same salaries. Several other associations were then organized in different parts of the country and were admitted under the protection of the national agreement. This served to make good ballplayers, especially pitchers, scarce, and forced salaries up still higher, until at the present time a first-class pitcher will not look at a manager for Tela than fS.bOO for a season. Radbourn, of last year’s Providence Club, received the largest amount of money that has ever been paid to a ball-player. His wonderful pitching, which won the championship for the club, cost about $5,000, as he did the work of two pitchers and received the pay of two. Some of the salaries which base-ball players will get * next season are : O’Rourke, Gerhardt, Deaslev, Ewing, and Ward, °f the New York Club, $3,000 each*. Mnllane was to have played with the Cincinnati Club for $4,000. Dunlap , has a contract with the new league club of St. Louis for $3,400. These .are ouly a few of the higher prices paid, while the number of men who get from $2,000 to $3,000 is large. At these prices a club with a team costing only from $15,000 to $20,000 is lucky; but it has not much 1 chance of winning the championship. To this expense rnuit be added the ground rent, the salaries of gate-keep-ers, and the traveling expenses, which Vill be as much more: ”

They were caught by a policeman after they had reached the river with the baby in a basket and were looking for a hole in the ice: There are now 450 deer in Gen. Harding’s park, six miles from Nashville, Tenn. Notwithstanding the Harding family’s love for venison, and the large number of friends frequently supplied with the delicacy, the herd increases rapidly. At the close of the war it numbered but sixty heed. The park has 425 acres, and lias many fores within its bounds. Gen. Harding, now 90 years old, possess a grand farm of 4,700 acres.— Ex.

The Tichborne claimant has taken up pigeon-shooting since his "release. He took part in two matches for £SO a aside at twenty-five birds each at Leeds the other day against Mr. \V. Graham, of London, and Mr. G. H. Fowler, both well-known shots, In the first match Mr.. Fowler was declared the wfirner ‘itt the nineteenth bird, having killed thirteen birds to the claimant’s seven. In the second match the claimant shot much better, Mr. Graham winning by only one bird. “Sri: Eos a” writes m the Washington Capital: “ Several weeks ago Richard T. Greener and Robert H. Terrell, both colored and both graduates of Howard University, Were "proposed for membership in the Howard Club in this city. At its meeting last week these gentlemen were blackballed. -Gteenor simply - said,' when' asked abbut it, that the members of the Howard Club, did not represent Howard University, the first college to graduate a colored, man. Greener is a lawyer; Terrell a teacher in the colored liighscliool.

And now comes forward another one of those gloomy pessimists foreboding terrible lames for the human race. “If T tell yon my honest opinion,” said 1 rof. Richard T. Ely, of Johns Hopkins University, in a recent interview, “I musTsay frankly that >1 believe we are just beginning to enter on a terrible era in the w'orld’s history—an era of internal and domestic warfare such as has never been seen, and the end of which ofily the Almighty can foretell. What has just happened in England is a local manifestation of an international devil. I will not attempt to say what .remedies should be adopted in England. I will simply say that under fai' more favorable circumstances Bismarck has tried repression with an iron hand, only to see his enemies daily grow in .number and in strength. I believe love is stronger than hate. ” It has been about two years sines Bismarck excluded American pork from Germany on the fraudulent pretense that it was infected with trichinae. The most conclusive evidence of the falsity of this charge was furnished by the report of Mr. Hately, of Chicago, to the National Board of Trade recently in session in Washington. The official Provision Inspector of the Chicago Board of Trade has examined, during the last four years, 514,975,160 pounds of cured meats, and neither he nor any of the other official or private inspectors throughout the' country has ever found a single piece of hog meat infected with trichina?,*', nor is there a single authenticated cash of sickness arising from meat inspected by them during the same period. Tt is not surprising, under these circumstances, that the National Board of Trade requests Congress to take vigorous action to remove unjust foreign discriminations.
