THE SILVER BILL.

At five o'clock last Saturday morning the silver bill passed tbe Senate. The bill, as passed, is not tbe plain, simple Bland bill, which plainly and directly provided for tbe complete restoration of the old silver dollar, making it a full legal tender, and bestowiug on silver free and unlimited coinage, such as is given to gold. Tbe bill, as amended in the Senate, does not give .free coinage to silver, and it limits the amount which may be coined per month. It provides for the coinage of silver dollars of Ai2\4 grains standard, and makes tbem legal tender for all dues, pnblio and private, except where something ^else is specific ally stipulated by contract authorizes the coinage of not less than two millions and not more than four millions per month of said dollars. This is tbe essence of the first section of the bill The third section authorizes the Presi dent to invite foreign governments to confer with tbe United States for tbe purpose of establishing an international, bi-metallio money, and of fixing tbe relative values of the same. This is harmless, as it is only an invitation for consultation, and has no binding force In law. The last seotlon enables any kolder of tbe coin authorized by this act to deposit the same in the ITreasury In sums not less than ten dollars and receive certificates tberefor.whioh shall be receivable for customs, taxes, all public does, and reissued when so received. This is an excellent feature of tbe bill, an important Improvement upon the bill as it passed the House. It will add two millions per month of silver-oertifioate money to the circulating medium of the country.

Since tbe above was in type' for* the first edition, tbe House has concurred in tbe Senate amendments, and tbe measure goes to tbo President for his consideration. It is believed that be will sign it, although it matters little whether he does or not, a* Congress can and will pass it over bis veto. It is now to be hoped that Congress will cease currency tinkering, and allow trade to settle in some regular channel. Even a poor channel Is belter than one that is continually shifting with every freshet.

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONE N I O N

The Democratic State Conventioowth held at Indianapolis, on Wednesday of this week. It was a large and unusually spirited convention and for the offices of Secretary and Treasurer of State there was a bitter contest. Tbe struggle for nomination was inereased by the almost certain success to which tbe party is looking forward to In October. The bright prospects for election brought out too, abetter class of men than are ordinarily found in Democratic conventions. This was a noticeable foot and frequently reinarkel upon. The Con* vention, when assembled in the Metro poll tan theatre, was really a fine looking, spirited and enthusiastic body of men. Gov. Hendricks was made Presi* dent of the Convention.

The nominations made were as follows: For Secretary of State, John 3. Shanklin, of Evansvilie for Auditor of State, M. D. Maoeon, of Crawfordsvllle for Treasurer of State,William Fleming, of Fort Wayne for Attorney General, Thomas W. Woolen, of Franklin and for Superintendent of Public Instruction, James H. Smart, of Fort Wayne, the present Incumbent.

Ti«e principal points In the platform area demand for the unlimited oolnage of silver dollars of 412& grains, with full legal tender quality, the retirement of the national bank notes by treasury notes or full legal tender, the taxation of United State's bonds, Immediate and unconditional repeal of tbe resumption act, repeal of the bankrupt act, that the wages of employ** of corporation* be made a first lien on the property, receipts and earnings thereof, pensions for soldiers of the Mexican war, together with tbe usual amount of vague and in-

definite declarations about matters and things in general, thrown In to catch the populace. The ticket is a good one, well distributed throughout the State, and, notwithstanding a good deal of present soreness on the part of some of tbe defeated candidates, tbe prospects of its success are certainly very flatteriug.

The Republican' Convention will be beld early in Juna.

WITH the confession of John Beavers, tbe murderer recently banged at Madi eon, before him, one does not find it very hard to be reconciled to the idea of capital punishment. As we follow the guilty wretch enticing bis victim from place to place, on journeys through lonely fields and woods, which occupied several nights, seeking for a suitable place and opportunity to execute bis fiendish purpose, it is impossible that a single spark of sympathy or mercy should remain unquenched. He was going to kill the old man with a piece of iron about fourteen inches long which he had picked up for the purpose on the railroad and carried concealed in his clothes. Sometimes, as they journeyed through tbe woods, he was on the point of dealing his victim the fatal blow, "but the fear that in the darkness he might not make sure work stayed his arm. At one time be bad taken Sewell into a field to murder him, but an acquaintance joined them and he was frustrated. Sometimes his companion, being lame and tired out, would stumble and fall down, and tbe murderer bethought him that this would be a favorable moment to execute the dastardly deed, but be did not do it. At last they came to an old log hut in an isofated spot, in tbe night time, and, dragging himself into it, tbe old man lay down and fell into a heavy slumber. The cowardly murderer could hope for no better time than this, and, seizing a heavy piece of wood, he ended bis victim's life as he slept. It is revolting story, and while such wretches continue to infest tbe world, who can argue that the gibbet should be abolished

EARLY RISING, ETC.

A writer in the March number of Harper, in an article entitled "A Triad of Superstitions," vigorously denounces the favorite doctrine of our forefathers, of "rising with the sun," etc. He pleade for later morning naps in bed and insists that, as a nation, we are doing tbe best we can to work ourselves into early graves. We rise too early, work too hard and amuse ourselves too little. Of course there is truth in this and the warning may well be heeded. But there may be danger of going to the other extreme, if not as a nation, yet in individual cases. Perhaps it is not so much their early rising or the amount of work they do, that sends so many men to»premature graves, as it is irregular habits, dissipation and a constant fretting and worrying. Hale old Walter Soott was au early riser and we are not told that bis health suffered any from this cause. And we all know ex amples, within the range of our own acquaintance, of men who lived to the ripest and rosiest old age who met the sun coming up the eastern horizon, daily, for three score years and ten. It is not so much early rising or late rising that hurts us as it is irregular rising, or rather irregular lying down. We are inclined to believe that the old rule of "early to bed and early to rise," was a good one in its day and .would be good one yet, if faithfully practiced at both ends. Going to bed late and getting up early, is a modern perversion of it. If we look into nature we will find ali her processes to be constant and reg ular. The sun rises early but he rises at tbe same time each day. Some people hold that the principal 'meal should be eaten in the middle of the day, and others, at its close. Well, it makes no great difference, so that it be eaten at the same time every day. Regularity in eating and sleeping and in all our habits, is tbe first mid greatest law of health.

And so of working. It matters far lees how much we do than how we do it. The man who frets and worries and carries a burden of oare and anxiety always on his back, soon gets crow's feet and gray hairs, whether be does much or little work. It is the friotion which wears so sadly. It Is often said of a mau that "he has done enough work to break down a dozen men," while he is yet hale and ruddy. Such men work without friction. They bend their ener gies for awhile in Intense strain, but then they relax them. It is not drawing the bow many times and hard,that takes the spring out of it, but keeping it bent when not in use. Provided a man eats well and sleeps well it is of littlo oonsequenoe that he works hard. He can stand bard work then. What we waut to get rid of is needless and vseless worry and anxiety to do the thing in hand as well as we know how and then have done with it to be honest and straightforward, having a conscience void of offense, so that when we lie down to sleep we can sleep soundly, have a good healthy appetite and go to our daily work with a light and cheerful heart. When we live that way we will not be likely either to rise too early or work too hard.

A WASHINGTON correspondent says of tbe doting houra of tbe silver struggle In tbe Senate: *'A large proportion of the Senators were aa drunk as 'bUed owls' some time before tbe final vote was taken at 5 o'clock this morning. But they were, nevertheless, as every observing spectator will testify. An alt-night session with plenty of wine and brandy in the cloak rooms was too much for many of them. Speeches were made by men whose utterance was thick, and replied to bv men who had to grasp the hacks of t&eir chairs for support."

THE late Democratic convention must have been "more terrible than an army with banners," of which we read in tbe Bible. Tbe State Sentinel says of the delegates, "each man was thunderbolt, ^invincible, aggressive, and poised." We^ don't believe this. It is an infamoiii slander. We know that our Shannon delegates were not that kind of men—that is, they didn't look like such when they came back,

THE absorption of Alsace and Lorraine into Germany made France look as if an arm had been amputated, and it took the geographical eye sometime to become reoonoiled to the mutilation Now Turkey in Europe and Turkey in Asia are to undergo such great territorial alterations that geographers may brush the dust from their spectacles and begin the propagation of maps. If Europe would only "stay put," it would save an immense deal of trouble for map makers, students and gentlemen who fight battles and partition nations on paper. _________

THB conferences of tbe Methodist Church, according to Bishop Foster, are crowded with applioatlons*from young paen anxious to enter its ministry. This is tbe case'more especially in the New England States where the salaries are larger than In any other section of the country. It is also a noticeable liact that the religious papers of all denominations have ceased their urgent calls to young men to chaoee the clerical profession All of which would seem to indicate that young, unemployed church members have resolved to try preaching as a means of livelihood, and they are seek ing the places which pay the best.

AT a recent dinner of the Illinois Bar Association, Judge Gillespie, one of the pioneer lawyers of that State, gave some interesting reminiscenoee ef the olden times. Fun was a large ingredient in ali forensic efforts of that day, and Lincoln and Under, he says, habitually convulsed tbe judge, jury.andHudience with laughter. Books were few and elementary and so little did reports figure in the practice that Adolpbus Hubbard once convinced the jury that Johnson's Reports, from which the opposing oonnsel had read, was nothing but a collection of rumors and traditions which Johnson had picked up while going about the country as a clock peddler and had published in a book! Of course Hubbard gained his ease before the jury. Perhaps few tilings have changed more than the practice of law slnos those times.

THE body of Mrs. Ben. Pitman, wife of the phonographer, was cremated at Washington, Pa., on the 15tb, in the same retort in which the body of Baron de Palm was consumed. The process occupied one hour and fifty one minutes, and tbe highest degree of heat reached was 2,200*.

THERE are loud murmurlngs in the Democratic camp over the surface indication that Dan "Voorhees allowed his friend Pat Shannon to be slaughtered at Indianapolis this week when the presence and influence of the Senator would have produced a different result.

THE noted temperance reformer, Neal Dow, of Maine, has just introduced into the Legislature of that State a liquor law which punishes "drummers" for liquor houses by a fine of $1,000 and one year's imprisonment. The other clauses in the bill are as severe as this. Statistics show that the number of arrests for drunkenness in Bangor, Dow's home, have increased from 220 at' the passage of the Maine law, to 770.

AT West port, New York, they have "kissing bees" to clear chnrch debts. Kisses, ten cents each or three for a quarter, usually cause enough revenue to raise any eburcb debt in a short time. But the young ladies of this city would hardly be willing to allow themselves kissed for any debt. However, it might be tried. If tbe church debt was heavy, and tbe young men agreeable, and the old folks would go out of.tbe room, perhaps some of our best and most self sacrificing girls would not strennously object

WE really regret to record the defeat of our townsman, Hon. Pat. Shannon, in his race for tbe Democratic nomination for State Treasurer, because, if Democrat is to be elected, we know of no one we bad rather see step into that fat office than our friend Shannon. And yet we have seen so much of the dirty work of politicians, that we ought to congratulate him on bis defeat, and tbe privilege of remaining in private life, to attend to his legitimate business. This thing of office seeking has become costly luxury, and no man who is fitted for and established in business should waste his time and money in the race for office. It is a hard road, at best, one has to crawl through a vast amount of filth, and after all it is very mush of lottery. The race is not always to the swift, and it is not always that the best man wins.

FRANCIS MURPHY.

The wonderful temperance revival going on all over tbe country, and es pecially in this city, oauses unusual interest in tbe man who started this peculiar phase of the great work. In the Editor's Table of the Sunday Afternoon for March, we find the following readable sk itch under the heading of

Our New St. Francis His other name is Murphy. He be longs to tbe HToly Catholic Church, tbe Methodist wing of it and be has been canonized in his lifetime by tbe blessings and the prayers of thousands of tbe poor.

The other Saint Francis was something of a scamp in early life. His escapades are carefully narrated by his biographers as a good background for bis later sanctity. Finally he was flogged and thrown into prison for his offences, and while in prison he was converted and devoted himself to the service of the poor.

Mu?h of this is true of the modern Saint Francis. He, too, found Christ in Prison (for the prisou is a place where men sometimes find Christ in more senses than one)—and gave himself up to a service whose demands aqd whose rewards be did not then at all forecast. "Mediaeval Europe," says the historian, "owes much to the Franciscans. They went every where and were like flames of fire wherever they went. First of all they rouspd the masses. Poor men, weating nothing but brown frocks girded about the waist by bits of tape, they brought the gospel home to the poor. By and by hey made themselves felt In every walk of life." It begins to look as if modern America were going to be a large debtor to the new order of Franciscans—to Murphy's men. If "the masses," of mediaeval Europe were any more thoroughly loused than the inassf or some of out American cities andtowns have been by tbe preaching of Murphy it must have been a sight to see them.

It is to the poor that Francis Murphy preaches—tbe poorest of the poor—the men who have lost manhood and honor and self respect in tbe bondage of strong drink. And when be preaches they listen. No doubt about that. Night after night tbe largest balls are crowded to suffocation hundreds stand for hours or cling to tbe edges of platforms and tbe railings of galleries, listening to bis proclamation of liberty to the captives and the opening of tbe prison doors to them that are bound.

He is a study—this man Murphy. Get a seat on tbe platform if you can, where you can watch his movements. Tbe great or6wd, orderly and cheery, is waiting for his appearance. Suddenly there is a brightening of faces and a clap ping of hands and Murphy walks for ward, bowing to tbe audience, shaking bands right and left and beaming on everybody. He is a short man, aoont as tail as Moody but not quite so stout, though his chest is full and his limbs are muscular. Tbe face is Celtic but shapely, the bright eyes look ont from under heavy eyebrows,tbe clean shaven aw is firm, ana th 9 generous mouth is curtained by a black moustache. A good-natured man beyond a doubt and on the best of terms with his environment.

The service begins with singing. The great choir lead in two or three of tbe 'gospel melodies" of Bliss and Sankey, tbe congregation joining in the chorus and there are one or two sacred songs of a more pretentious character by singers who go about with tbe apostle of temperance to sing tbe gospel, after tbe manner of Sankey. Then Murphy rises, Bible in hand, and reads a few verses, commenting on tbem in a homely and pointed fashion. His exegesis is some* '.lines queer, but never mind about that! Bad exegesis often yields good doctrine. If the sacred writer does not say just what tbe expounder represents him saying, he might well have said it. Then there is a short prayer and the orator naturally passes along ways of familiar and informal talk into the speech of the evening.

The story of bis own life makes up a good part of all bis speeches. If he stays onlv a day or two in a place you get an abridgement of it if be tarries longer he gives it to you at length in installments, with more of less of discursive moralizing and description and appeal thrown in evening by evening. The story is well told. You would not tell so much of it if you were in his place but you do not feel, after all, like oensnring bis frankness. You can see in bis experience the depths of degradation and woe into which drink plunges men and be evidently thinks he has a better right to show yon the dark side of his own life than that of any other man's. Often aa he ha* told tbe tele it is far from being mere recitation. His heart swells with emotions that are not simulated, and the tears start from bis own eves be speaks of the woes of "mother* a

and

tbe children in the days when drink wa* cursing hi* home. Now and then be strikes off into dlsrrensiona. humorous, descriptive, draraaUc—some of wbhA are very telling. Tbe storyof the Irish girl, who felt ao grand tiding in her mistress's carriage that she wished she could stand on (he sidewalk ar.d see herself drive by Is capitally told and always when be drops into his native brogue the Irishman that he give* us is a genuine bit of character. Some of his more tragic passages are

simply tremendous. His description Sheridan's Ride, for example, or hi* imaginative portrayal of the "upas tree" of intemperance, are astounding performances. 8uch rhetoric, such elocution, such acting are not often beard or seen.

He races back and forth across the

feaps,

latforaa

be roars like a caged tiger be at tbe climax of his passion, three or four feet into the air.

Of oonrse you do not approve all this it is not your way of doing it Neither do you approve all of Murphy's orthoepy or syntax. But it does tbe business. Crude though the performance may be, in spots, it is a telling performance. Tbe acting is immense, but it is scarcely more excessive than is often seen upon the classic stage, The rhetoric may be faulty, but it is a big hearted man that is talking and tbe people do not stop to measure nis words by critical standards. And now and then comes a passage of natural description or a touch of human nature that mark tbe real orator.

What is better the spirit of the man and his methods of works are so wholly Christian that tbev disarm criticism "You can't querl with me," be says every day, '-for I won't querl.' If the Catholic priest forbids bis people to attend Murphy's meetings, Murphy eulogizes Father Matthew, and says not a word about the priest except in kindness. For "the rumseller," so long the black dragon of the temperance reformer, he has nothing but sympathy. And if the prohibitionist denounces him for his gentle treatment of the liquor dealers he only says to the prohibitionist, "God bless you! we are going to get everybody to stop drinking liquor, and then nobody will want to sell it!" Not a word of censure or denunciation falls from his lips.

Better still, bis whole relianoe is on the divine power. All his meetings are intensely religious meetings. All the songp that are sung are sacred songs. The pledge includes the phrase, "God helping me." Every man who signs it is told that be will need God's help in keeping it. And almost all of those who are reclaimed iu bis meetings confess their sense of need and their purpose to seek this help.

There is nothing to say in the view of all this, except to heap Murpty's oftrepeated benediction upon bis own bead and cry "God bless him!" May the new Franciscan order grow faster and live longer than the old one! May tbe boys with the badges of blue like tbe Gray Friars of old go everywhere, and be wherever they go "like flames of fire," kindling a new hope in tbe heart ol the drunkard, and lighting the way by which be may escape from degradation and woe!

About four years ago he retired fj^om active farm life, and took op his residence at the piaoe of his death, on Eleventh street. He was converted at 18 yeara of age, and Joined the Lutheran church, in which he remained, a consistent member, fora period of fifty-four years, when, owing to the fact that there was no Lutheran church near him, and not wishing to bo deprived of church fellowship, he jeiued the Methodist Epi-copal church, in Otter Creek township. A short time before his death he expressed a desire, should he be spare-1 to do so, to jo^n the Christian church, but was called to leep with his fathers" before he had an opportunity. His life was that of an earnest, humbleand unassuming follower of his Lord.

He bad a woiftlerfulty strong constitution and in his younger manhood was possessed of very great physical strength, having rarely, if ever, met his superior in that respect.
