THE principal reason women dislike night keys is that they are mostly used for unlocking tbo door at alatehour of the night. ___________

ONE more cause of domestic broils is removod. A Louisiana woman has in vented a button that can be put on all sorts of garments without needle and thread.

IN China the ladies wear upon their broasts tiny sprigs of the fir tree, as symbols of everlasting love. In this country we should regard them as ambloma of the greenness of the sprig wh? sent them.

THK Electrical Review describea most remarkable invention, boing a device for photographing in a telephone exchange all persons using the telephone connected with theexchange. Thephotograph appears on a ribbon which runs under the eye of the operator.

PNEUMONIA is making sad havoc among prominent men of late. Within a few months five Governors and exGovernors have died from it, together with nearly a hundred other prominent men. The latest prominent cases wore Postmaater-Oenoral Howo and Peter Cooper.

THKKK women have been elected to School Board of Flint, Michigan. Isn't lndiaua behind the times, and can't we have a lady upon our School Board at the next election? Let us have one Democrat, one Republican and one woman, and thus remove all possibility of political influence.

APROPOS of a similar case in our own city, Gov. Blackburn of Kentucky, has just pardoned thlrtoen women indicted for keepingdisordorly houses in Lexington. Cause, the beat citizens objected to tho sensational trials. It ofteu happens in such cases that our "best citizens" take a lively interest in sparing tho public the "sensation" of a trial.

THE report that Murat Halstead will take up his residence in New York atan efcrly day, in connection with the Commercial Gazettefcnd perhaps a New York journal, calls attention to the large number of western men who are in control bf the leading newspapers in the city. The Times is in the charge of Reed, who went east from Wisconsin the Herald is managed by Nordhoff, formerly of Indiana, and Smith of Kentucky the Tribune, by Ried of Ohio the Sun, by Dana, who went from Chicago the Post, by Schura, of Missouri, and White of Illinois and the Associated Press is represented by William Henry Smith, late of Chicago. Other changes are in prospect. The Express, it is understood will soon pass out of the hands of its present owners into those of Melville Stone, of Chicago, and the World is also likely to pass under a new ownership, perhaps that of Pulitzer, of St. Louis, at an early day. It would seem from this that no part of the country can produce ournalists but tho West but if the fer

Evidently the reading public will have to be educated as well as the talented reporters, before the journalistic millenium can be reached.

IT is "greatly to the credit" of Judge Gresham, the new Postmaster General, that he declined the use of a special car which was tendered him from Indianapolis to Washington. These special cars are constantly being tendered* to persons in high places, and are often accepted without question of propriety but it is possibly not the best custom. Of course it is not to be charged that such favors tend directly to corrupt legislation or to improperly influence the execution of the laws, but they can scarcely fail to exert an indefinable influence upon the recipients, or at least to create a suspicion of something that in not altogether right, and a public man would do better to decline uniformly all special accomodations thus extended, freely and with whatever pure intentions offered, and that they are thus offered in many cases there can be no room for doubt. But the custom is liable to run into abuse, and should be discountenanced. Judge Gresham going to Washington as a common citizen, and at his own expense to accept a high position under the government, set an example that is in accord with American idea of Democratic government.

IN the State oratorial contest at Indianapolis on Wednesday evening, W. R. Asher, of Bloomingtou, took the first honors, and W. L.Fisher,of Hanover college, the second honors. Asher had been accused of plagarisra in the subject matter of his address but had been vindicated by a committee appointed to investigate the charges. The fact that both the winners belong to the same Sigma Chi fraternity suggests the inquiry how many members of that fraternity were on the committee of judges.

THE wheat outlook for the present season Is not encouraging. Ohio promises the poorest crop for eight years, while in Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Wisconsin. California and Minnesota it is thought the loes will reach thirty per cent. Theseevil prophecies are apt to come, however, at tbe first of tbe season, and it is not safe to be discouraged too soon. The spring showers and summer sunshine are yet to be heard from.

THE comments of tbe press upon the appointment of Judge Gresham to the office of Postmaster General continue to be of the mo*t complimentary character. Possibly the judge did not know how popular be was throughout the country until this unexpected honor was thrust upon him. At all events he has just cause to feel gratified at tbe response which the country has made to his appointment. ___________ yj|'

THE terrible murder of Judge McComas, his wife and little son, and the recent Apache outbreak, bring up again the everlasting Indian question and even the most benevolent of philanthropists are tempted to advocate extermination. Kill off tbe old ones and educate the young ones seems about the only possible solution of this terrible problem.

DIFFERENT opinions prevail in regard to tbehangiug of Mrs. Meeker, in Vermont, a few days ago. Sentimentalists object to the hanging because the victim was a woman. Justice says that if a woman deliberately plans and executes a murder, she should suffer the penalty for it. Practical common sense asserts that a woman should be met with her own weapons. If she sees fit to attack a man through the courts, let him take what protection the law affords, and if she chooses to avenge herself with a revolver or a whip a man is fully justified in defending himself.

To a Washington reporter Col. John C. New has expressed the opinion that hereafter Senator Harrison will play but a subordinate part in Indiana politics, General Gresham taking the leading role. Col. John has been unusually free of speech recently and has not at all remembered Polonious' advice to Laertes to "give every man thine earl but few thy voice." On the contrary he seems to have reversed the rule and given every man his voice who has asked for it. We fear the Colonel is hardly close mouthed enough for a successful politician. ____________
