The President has nominated Leon O. Bailey, of Indianapolis, to be United State district attorney, to succeed E. B. Sellers, resigned. Bailey is not only unfit for the position from a professional point of view, but he is one of the dirtiest and most unscrupulous political sculldudgers to be found in the state of Indiana, — and that is saying a great deal. He is especially offensive to Republicans from the leading part he took during the late campaign, in compiling and circulating the dol-lar-a-day and similar campaign slanders —which no decent democrat could be found to endorse. It is safe to to say that the Senate will make short work of rejecting this unworthy appointment.

The Goodland Herald is badly off in censuring Senator Ingalls for an alleged coarse attack upon the private character of President Cleveland. Senator Ingalls has made no such an attack, but, on the contrary, he has made a very dear and positive denial of Mrs. Whitney’s implied charges that he had been concerned in circulating the scandalous stories in regard to Mr. Cleveland’s private life, which were first given publicity by democrats, at the St. Louis convention. While making his reply to Mrs. Whitney, Mr. Ingalls took occasion to pay the finest tribute to the many excellencies and graces of the President's wife that she has ever received. But he said nothing for or against the President’s pri-

For several years the usual state tax has been 12 cents on each SIOO valuation to meet the ordinary expenses. —The next legislature will be confronted with expenses not ordinary for which they must provide. To finish and furnish three new insane asylums will require $165,000. To complete the payment for the State House $125,000. The school for the feeble minded and Soldiers’ Orphans’ Home will both on a low estimate take $300,000. There are outstanding orders against new asylums for SSO- - Orphans’ Home $25,000 institution for feebed-minded $32,000, and the December collections overdrawn SIOO,OOO. These items are but a sample of what the next legislature will be called upon to look after. It is thought the needed appropriations wi ll exceed by $2,000,000 what a 12 per cent levy will meet

The custom which has long prevailed in pur town, to a greater or less extent, of keeping business houses open on Sundays is one that is almost universally reprehended by the people of the town, and regretted by most of those who have felt obliged, in order to protect their business, to follow the example of their competitors, in this respect. The fact is, so long as two or three business men

selling goodswSunday, the same line of trade >w the example, in defense >wn business. It is thus that if this Sunday s to be diminished to any it extent it must be stopcly. A movement lookrds this result is now on

foot in the town, with good prospects for success. A paper expressing the wish of its subscribers for the cessation of Bunday trading has been circulated and has been signed by nearly all the business men and firms in the town, and of the few who have not signed the paper, several have endorsed the movement and will not stand in the way of its adoption. It is a good move and should, and we believe will, be pressed to a successful termination. Every person is entitled to one day of rest in the week, and for that reason the civil observance of the Sabbath should be insisted upon and enforced.

Figuring and forecasting on the make-up of Mr. Harrison’s cabinet is a very common and at the same time a very harmless amusement among the newspaper brethren, just at this time. It is a pastime in which The Republic can does not teel called upon to indulge extensively. We will say, rnwever, that if Mr. Harrison fol-

ows the exam pl jof -most of his predecessors since Lincoln’s time, and selects one of his advisors rom among his true and long ried friends in his own state, then Ex-governor A. G. Porter is the man who will be chosen. Surely here is no man in the state better fitted than Mr. Porter to occupy a cabinet position, and no one whose choice would call forth so little of jealousy and unfavorable criticism. Neither is there any public man in the state who enjoys in so high a degree the confidence and esteem of people of all parties, nor one whose

add more strength and dignity to that body. Gbv- Porter deserves well of his party, too, and especially for his great and efficient labors in its behalf, during the-late campaign. In short, the more the matter is reflected upon the stronger is the conviction that in no one act can the President-Elect add greater strength to his administration nor do more to please and Strengthen his party in Indiana, than by calling'Gov. Porter to a place in his cabinet.

THE GOVERNOR'S DISCOURTESY.

. There are a good many mighty mean men among the Democratic of them are mean enough and at the same time small and petty enough to have conducted themselves in so spiteful and yet cowardly a manner as did Gov.’ Gray, when asked for the use of the room in the State House, known as the Governor’s parlor, for the public reception to Vice-president elect Morton and wife. The following account of the incident is condensed from the Indianapolis Journal: When the idea of a public reception to Mr. and Mrs. Morton was first broached, it was determined that it should be distinctly nqnpartisan. Mr. Morton was,o no longer a Republican candidate; he was the Vice-president elect of the United’States, so far as the action of the people of the States could invest him with that dignity. The committee appointed at the Board of Trade meeting, with the Mayor at its head, and with two prominent and courteous Democrats as members, worked faithfully and successfully to make the reception at once a fitting compliment to Mr. Morton and a credit to the people of Indianapolis. This committee thought it better that the reception should be held in the State Capitol, if possible; and it being feared that to have the receiving party, with Mr. Morton, who was already suffering from a cold, stand in the corridor during the whole evening might expose them to drafts, the use of the Governor’s parlor, simply for Mr. Moi ton and party, was deemed wise, the people to* pass into the room from the corridor through

one door and out through the other. Governor Gray was waited on by the committee, and presented with the request The Governor received it churlishly, tapped his fingers bn the rim of his chair, and said that the matter had come to him so “suddently” that he could not make up t his mind at once. He would have to think about it There were prop-

rieties that would have to be observed; Mr. Morton was not in office yet, etc. Governor Gray said he would think over the matter and give the committee an answer next day, an hour being agreed upon for the second visit This gives substantially the language m which Governor Gray received the committee at the first meeting, and shows the manner in which he understood and treated the request for the use of the executive parlors. The next day the committee waited upon him again, according to the engagement he had himself made, only to find that he gone to Logansport, leaving no word with his private secretary. At first Mr. Pierre Gray gave the impression that he knew nothing of the matter, but it soon became evident that he and his rather had ialked together, and a line of aciion agreed upon, which was simpy non-action —saying neither yes nor no. The committee thereupon withdrew, and the reception was ixed for Tomlinson Hall, where it was so handsomely successfully carried out.

These are the facts, and they tell their own story, There was no question raised of the eligibility of the Governor’s rooms for the purpose; none about the size of the doois; none as to the sacredness of the executive ink-stand and paper weights, which Governor Gray now fears might have been broken or stolen in the throng. None of these things were hinted at. Had the Governor frankly and courteously offered the use of the rooms, discussion of details would have been proper and necessary, and, after all, it might have been found better not o have attempted their use. But jnvernor Gray received the request in a boorish spirit, and the evident purpose of treating the Republican Vice-presiden-elect with a discourtesy which some Indiana democrats alone can display. The incident was ’ a fitting sequel to the disgraceful campaign proceeding the election, conducted under the nominal direction of “Si” Sheerin, Charles L. Jewett and Ed Gould, but which was really managed and directed by Gov. Isaac P. Gray. The Democratic' canvass in Indiana was a Gray canvass, and the refusal of of the use of the parlors for a reception of the Republican Vice-president-elect, in company with the President-elect, was an exhibition of Gray Democracy.

A Prophet at Discount.

Boston Traveller: Grady, of the Atlanta Constitution, in the latter part of the National campaign, went into the propecy business for all he was worth. He foretold that the defeat of Cleveland would cause the South “to be led through sorrows compared with which the woes of reconstruction will be as the fading dews of morning to the roaring flood. ” His direful forecast has proved a roaring farce. The journals of the South especially devoted to business, record the most astonishing revival of business confidence in that section. Capital is being invested to an unheard-of extent in Texas, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana. Bailroad projects, coaltracts, cotton, wool, and iron, in dustries, bagging factories, are in process of development; in one word Southern enterprise is humming. Not the first woe has put in an appearance since Cleveland’s defeat, unless the wail of the officeholder comes under that head. As a prophet Brother Grady must take a back seat.

A Master of Vituperative Rhetoric.

Chicago Journal. Mr. Cleveland is the best master of vituperative rhetoric that ever occupied the Presidency. His command of terms is limited, but they are .strong. His invective is coarse; repetition is freq uent; there is an evidence of labor and lack of skill in forming the sentences, but they come out like brick-bats thrown by a mob at a street-car with a “scab” driver. “Selfish greed,” “selfishness” “extorton,” •‘personal interests,” “grasping avarice,” “inordinately burdened,” “sordid disregard” of others, “selfish advantages,” beneficiaries of unjust discrimination,” etc., etc. In the eloquence of a chronic scold, the President has few equals and no superiors. To get rid of that “too much turkey” take one of Rinehart’s Pills: 1 a dose.

All schools in the county, town as well as country, will be dosed next week. > Seventy-five of the teachers in the county are taking the course of the Teachers' Beading Circle, this winter. After Jan. Ist two new books will be added to the list from which teachers may choose for reviews or essays, for examination. They are Hawthorn’s “Marble Faun” and Carlyle’s “Heroes and Hero Worship.” These two volumes are included in this year’s course] in |the Teachers’ Reading Circle. Superintendent Warren has been very active in visiting schools and Township Institutes, this season. Up to last Saturday, he had visited-61 schools and attended 8 Institutes.

The teachers of Eastern Jasper and Western Pulaski are arranging for a joint institute, to be held at Medaryville, the third Saturday n January. The superintendents Tom both counties will probably >e present, and also a large numjer of teachers. \ The State Teachers’ Association will meet in Plymouth Church, Indianapolis, Dec., 26, and coninue 3 days. Tickets will be sold on all railroads at one and onehirdfare for round trip. Arrangements have also been made for reduced rates at hotels in the city. This will give the teachers a good opportunity to visit the places of interest at our capital and to hear and see the leading teachers and educators of the state.

Smaller towns throughout the State are complaining of an ingenious soap swindle which is being worked. Female agents claiming to be from Chieago, canvagb from house to house, leaving a cake of soap as a sample. Then then they return and ask the lady to sign a printed “testimonial,” the same to be presented to the grocers to influence the latter to handle the trade. These testimonials afterward turn up as “orders,” calling for soap in various quantities at fancy prices. The wording of the so-called “testimonial” is very ingenious.

The second trial of Patrick McGuire, for the murder of Michael Kain, was to have begun in Rochester, last Monday, but when the case was called McGuire failed to to appear and his bail of $2,000 was declared forfeited. It is supposed that he has left the country. It is also believed that a wealthy brother of McGuire’s, from Cincinnati, has made good to the bondsmen what they have had to pay for McGuire’s non-appear-ance.

The Western Bubal, published at Chicago by Milton George, a practical Western farmer, is the largest farm, family ann reform journal published in the United States. It has proficiently edited departments for every branch of farming, and is a faithful record of every step of progress that is being made in agriculture. It indulges in no theories, but deals only in plain, practical facts and methods that will aid the farmer in making in making the farm more profitable. A large part of its matter is composed of practical questions asked by farmers and answered by practical men. It answers all questions and prescribes for sick animals free of charge. It exposes all swindlers who seek to prey upon the farming community, and admits to its advertising columns none but reliable advertisements. For thirteen years it has been an unflinching champion of the farmer in his with the rings and monopolies that have been robbing him.

In a word, it is a pa per for the farmer, his wife and children, for the man who believes in justice between class and for all who believe that a pure. praitical farm literature and advocate of farmers' rights should be encouraged.

My Poor Back! Tint’s the common exclamation of those suffering with rheumatism or kidney troubles. Tn cither disease Paine’s Celery Compound will surely effect a cure, and there will no longer be any cause to complain of “poor backs.” Hundreds of testimonials like the fallowing confirm our claims far that grand old remedy, Paines’s Celery Compound: • Two weeks ago I could not sleep more than an hour at a time any night, was constipated and kidneys did not act, /j “nd had a good deal of pain in the back. Since I took Paine’s Celery vJSS&Cr Compound the pain has left my back, and I can sleep like a child.” Zenas Sanders, West Wipdaor, Vermont. “ Having been troubled with rheumatism for five years, I was almost unable to get around, and was very often con Aj-LJI fined to my bed for weeks at a time. I * have used nearhr all medicines imaginable, besides outside advices, but to no advantage. Having* seen Paine’s Celery Com pound advertised, I gave it a trial.

What Is being done for the Orphans.

Rev. L. B. Payne, superin tendeht of the Orphan Home, Macon, Ga. writes: We have had a great improvement in the health of our children by the use of Swift’s Specific. We had among the children some who had scrofula—notably one case in which it was unmistakably hereditary. We got some of Swift’s Specific and gave it to this case> and in a short while it was cured sound and well. It was as bad a case, I think, as I ever saw, and it haddbeea under excellent physicians with no permanent benefit We have been giving it to all the children as a health tonic. We have tour children and one sea mstress. who for years, have suffe red intensely every spring with erysipelas, and though they hav e been taking Swift’s Specific only in small doses as a health tonic, they all, without exception,..pass ed through this spring without a touch of this complaint. A youug lady of the institution, who has been with us for year s, has been troubled with a most aggravated rash ever since she was a child. She tried all known remedies that are prescribed for it with no benefit; but she has been cure d by taking Swift’s Specific, and has had no return of the trouble.
