KOKOMO has had a great temperance revival, conducted by Jimmy Dunn, and lasting for several weeks. There was no hall in the plaoe large enough to accommodate the meetings, the court house being packed every evening and many unable to gam admittance. Seventeen hundred persons signed the pledge and donned the blue ribbon. The Blue Ribbon club will continue the crusade.fil

WHAT must Europeans think of a government that gets more money than it can spend? That is the condition of the United States to-day. Annual receipts, $398,287,581.95 annual expenses, 9265.408,127.54 annual surplus, $132,000,000. How to get rid of this large excess seems to be one of the most troublesome questions our national law-makers have to deal with. Taxes must be reduced in some way, but it is not easy to tell just how much and where.

R. J. CUMMINOS, of Conneant, O., is endeavoring to form a stock company in Erie, Pa., to erect a crematory. He is not meeting with muoh snocess although he has offered to each stockholder the privilege of burning one body. If they were allowed to select the body and put it in the crematory alive, some men would take several shares of stock to get rid of their enemies, but there is not much satisfaction in burning a man after he is dead, especially when you feel pretty certain that will be his fitte anyhow. ^4,1

AN epidemic of typhoid and malarial fevers among the students of Yale College is puzzling the faculty. They declare that the sewerage and drainage are perfect and are at a loss to account for the unusual prevalence of these diseases. It is the old puzzle which medical and sanitary science have ftdled to solve in the past and are not. likely to solve in the near future. Like the wind, these diseases come and go as they list and we sannot tell from whence they originate. In tact we know much more about the wind now than we do abont diseases.

THE Uftited States has 1634 doctors to every 10,000 persons. What becomes of that one-fourth of a physician? Nobody, when sick, wants a fraction of a dootor fooling around, although it would be very convenient to have him collect the fees. Perhaps it means that he is a fourth-rate practitioner, or is he a homeopathist? We give it up and will depend upon onr share of the other sixteen.

A LEADING physician of Cincinnati has invented what he calls, "the moral stove pipe, an auxilary of the T. M. C. A." It un joints, telescopes, etc., in such a manner that the head of the family cannot find any excuse whatever for pitching it across the room, slamming the front door and leaving his wife to get out of the difficulty the best way she aan. A few more such inventions as" this and we shall have no further use for evangelists.

SENATOR EDMUNDS, who perhaps more than any other may de said to be the Republican leader in the Senate, is described by a correspondent as "taH, stoop-shouldered, bald-headed, with every hair on bis head and in his beard as white as snow. He has a piercing eye, and with a very stern demeanor. He speaks slowly, firmly, plainly and incisively." He is wealthy and has an in some from his law practice of from $30,000 to 50,000 a year.

VANDERBILT'S grand party with its thousand guests and fabulous extravagance, has come and gone without turning the world upside down. It was doubtless "a snorter," as Mr. Vanderbilt predicted it would be, but outside the New York papers there was very lfttle Jenkinsism exhibited by the preesF It is oreditable to American journalism that it doesn't gush over the social exploits of such people as the Goulds and Vanderbilts.

"IT is humiliating," says the Evansville Journal, "to think that the immensely wealthy city of New York is passing the hat around the country, taking up a collection to pay the paltry expense of constructing a pedestal for the Bartholdi statue of Liberty enlightening the World." The statue is the gift of the French government and it does seem that the great city of New York with its scores of millionoires, might provide a pedestal for the statue.

IT is not possible to see where President Arthur would make any political capital by interfering in the O'Donnell atfair. It is strictly a Democratic movement and if Arthur had the power to obtain a pardon, even, for O'Donnell, the Democrats would not re-elect him. It is a well-known fact that a Democrat votes for a Democrat, and if His Satanic Majesty were put at the head of that ticket, it is safe to say he would reoeive the undivided support of the party.

WITH her swells adopting "coats of arms" after the English fashion, and her millionaires giving parties which oost |100,000 each, New York does not present an imposing figure of republican simplicity. After all, human nature is mueh the same the world over and the snobs of new America can always outsnob those of old Europe. For one thing, however, we can all be profoundly grateful and that is the snobs form but a small part of the body politic

THE universal reign of crime in New York can not be more vividly pictured than by the statement of Warden O'Rourke, of Bellevue Hospital. He was censured for not sending the "dead wagon" more promptly to police stations and hospitals. He replied that "it was kept so busy running around poking up dead bodiee all over town that the kind indulgence of the public had to be asked if a tew oorpses were left over till the next day 1" New York is verily afield of carnage in times of peace.

A LONDON paper says, "TJp Prince of Wales is in very poor health but be takes excellent care of himself, with the intention of living as long as possible." Like a good many other men, the Prince waited too long before he began taking care of himself. Men cannot indulge in dissipation till they are forty yean old and then expect to gain their lost vigor by a sudden reformation. The Prince will probably die before 'he reaohee the throne but, like these other men, he can say, I have lost the Kingdom but think of the fan I have had!

PERHAPS the most phenomenal thing in the political world of late is the call coming from various quarters for Geo. Grant to head the Republican ticket next year. This call oomea from, or is joined in, by prominent politicians and editors who were Utterly hostile to Grant in 1880. Commenting on the fact, the Chicago Inter Ocean says: "Should he be nominated for the Presidency next year It wilfbe because there to a need of him, and not because he aspires to farther honors. Th« fact that his old opponents are pointing to him as theman for the emergency cannot hot be gratifying, sad it demonstrated that hew not what they have sometimes represented him to be."

As WAS to have been expected, the Mormons are muoh stirred up over the President's message. The News, their organ, declares in defiant language that the destruction of the Territorial government would not affect polygamy tw the validity of the institution is not recognized by and does not depend upon the laws of the Territory and cannot be destroyed by "commissions, edicts, armies or other earthly powers," to* canae they are "ecclesiastical, perpetual, eternal." That question remains to be determined. If the United States government once takes hold of polygamy In earnest itwill shake the bead off it as quick aa it ahoogythe shackles from the alaves by the pi Wis mat ton of emandpatiouu

iT^is said that "out of forty-eight young ladies studying in one art school, in .New York, only one knows hew to bake a loaf of bread, three cata broil a sjbak and two can fry oysters. The young4fnen feel very much worried at the prospect." There is no reason why they should. Such knowledge on the part of the girls would probably be superfluous. Not half of the young men will ever be able to buy the beafsteak' and oysters for the girls to took, and they prefer to learn something that may be of some advantage to them.

AN Indianapolis lady writes a vigorous letter to the News on the disgnsting habit of spitting, so common among Americans. The editor of the News comes to the rescue and lays the blame upon our national disease—catarrh. But this does not explain why the habit is alipost exclusively confined to men. We scarcely ever see a woman spit, either in company or out on the street, while a man prefaces his remarks and finishes up his bow with an expectoration. If it is catarrh, whence this distinction between the two sexes? If it ia very largely habit, let us correct it.

THE Chicago Inter Ocean thinks Mr. Blaine's letter on the distribution of the surplus revenue is to be construed as notice that he is still a candidate for the presidency, not in the stirring sense of *76 and '80, but in a waiting, willing and expectant senbe. He has a strong hold on the popular mind and would probably have less opposition in 1884, than ever before, but, as the Inter Ocean well says, the controlling question in the next national convention will not bo who is most beloved by bis friends and admirers, but who can command the largest electoral vote. It will be a question of "availability" simply and solely.

WRITING from Washington Territory a correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal warns people who are looking in that direction with longing eyes, that if they expect to see and realire half the great things of which they have read, they will be doomed to disappointment. As usually happens the new-comers pour into the towns which are as full in the various professions as the old towns of the east. There is a great deal of bustle and going and coming and wild speculation but little that is solid and enduring. The farming industryfis neglected and this really offers the best inducemen ts for profitable investmen t. In the towns residence and business property is about as high as it is ever likely to to go, while the chances are that there will be reactions and heavy losses before a solid foundation is reached. A'ssra,

THE series of letters written for the New York Tribune by Robert P. Porter, from various manufacturing cities in Europe, have attracted much interest. In his recent .letter from Rheims Mr. Porter shows that the average rate on wages paid in woolen factories in this country is 180'per cent, greater than in any of the European countries and that to abolish the duties that secure this advantage to the United States would result in a leveling of wages, a process that has been going on in England for years. France and Germany, with their protective tariffs, have largely increased their manufacturing industries and benefited their .work-people, at the expensejof Great Britain. What is true of the woollen trade applies also to other industries. If these are facts the working classes of the country will note with no little uneasiness any proposed legislation of Congress looking in the direction of free trade. 'O1'

THERE is a world of wisdom in the suggestion ot Frank Leslie's Weekly that if workingmen, instead of drowning their earnings in intoxicating liquors, or burning tbem up along with vile-smell-ing tobacco, would learn to follow the example of Peter Cooper, who began life at the very lowest round of the ladder, and worked bis way to oompetenoe by industry, frugality and virtue, they would soon find that their condition in life is not so hopeless as they now think it ts. The fact has numerous illustrations in every community that the attainment of comfortable circumstances in life depends more on good management and economy of expenditure than on the amount of one's earnings. Men of large income but extravagant habits frequently remain poor to the day of their death, while the thrifty and economical mechanic gets a home of his own and provides for his family all the real comforts of life, merely through his dally earnings.

THE National committee has selected Chicago as the plaee and designated June & as the time for holding the next Republican National convention. And so Indianapolis did not get it after all. It is perhaps as well that she did not. In spite of all that has been said as to the ample hotel accommodations of Indianapolis, the fact cannot be disguised that she oould not gracefully take care of a National convention. Even a State convention of either of the great parties taxes her hotel facilities aeveely, and this Is bat a patch compared with a National convention. Everything considered, Chicago la the beet place that could have been selected. It is large and cool «id central. Its inter-oceaniq location mm*** it equally accessible from the east and west, while it is not so very far from the south. It is a dty well worth seeing and can of course handle any sized crowd that may choose to go there. It fs also near Indiana and the statesmen of this commonwealth will be appeased for the loss of the convention by finding it at tbeir next door neighbor. The time and an fixed and now for the candidate! Where la the iamb thatis ready

THE law has been amended so that a man can no longer advertise that, as his wife has left his bed and board, he will pay no debts of her contracting. He is now required to furnish her with such support as his means and station will allow. It looks very much as if the law would, in time, compel men to treat women fairly, justly and honorably, something they have not always done in the past. Disagreeable, abusive, drunken husbands will find, atter awhile, that they cannot force a respectable woman to share their "bed and board" because she has no alternative except starvation.

MRS. SCHOFIBLD, of Kokomo, in the Saturday Tribune of that city, takes issue with Mrs. Helen P. Jenkins in her paper on "The Nude in Art," which was noticed by The Mail recently. Mrs. Schofield says: "Individuals who are troubled with unholy thoughts at the sight of painted beauty no doubt have the same feelings aroused at the sight of living moving beauty with uncover ed face and the undulations of the form visible. Shall we, like some Orientals, cover the face of beauty and clothe the body in the robes of nuns lest tho passions of men be aroused?"

No, because that would be to go to the opposite extremo. What the opponents of the nude insist upon is that there shall be SOME clothing not much perhaps, but a little, at least a fig leaf.

More follows, considerably worse. It would seem to be about as dangerous to have one of these poets around as an electric wire. So slight a thing as a kiss makes them see flashes of fire, and the electricity runs down their spinal cord lik'e a streak of lightning, ending iu a regular fit of green apple stomach ache. Story is old enough to have gotten over these attacks, but Miss Wheeler would better hire some able bodied young man to kiss her till the novelty wears off and then when one strikes her accidentally i^ won'V bave such a stunning effect. ilYvF?

Two distressing cases of suicide are reported—one of Mrs. Rial, at Cincinnati the other of Mrs. Johnson, at Indianapolis. Both were refined and highly educated and both were insane. Their insanity took tbe form of deep melancholy, and from letters left by each, it seems that this depression was caused by the absence of their husbands who were engaged in businebs which kept tbem away from home most of the time. Comment seems unnecessary. If the wife does not lose her reason through being so much alone, she Is always discontented and gyhappy. If she does not care for her husband she often forms habits that, to the least, are detrimental to dopeac». The effect of continued absence is equally injurious to the husband. It is not the proper way for married people to live.

AND now comes the story that George Eliot's union with Mr. G. H. Lewes was a very unhappy one. A gentleman who affirms that he knows whereof he speaks, says that the separation of Lewes and bis first wife was owing more to the dissipations and bad conduct of Lewes himself than of his wife. He says further that George Eliot was deceived into forming the connection which she did with him, and that while her life was rendered very unhappy by reason of it. She tried to make the best' of her great misfortune. According to this writer tbe true story of the great novelist's life has not yet been told and will be a very touching and Interesting one when it is. If these statements, which are the opposite of what is generally understood to be tbe truth, are facts, it seems rather singular that the world has never heard anything of it before. siafe#

SINCE his last message tbe Irate Mormons do not refer to President Arthur by bis title of President but simply as Arthur, without showing even the common respect of using tbe prefix Mr. The Mormons may think this is very "crushing" but they are mistaking they role terribly. An attitude of long suffering injured Innocence would be far more taking than the defiant and haughty one which they have assumed. Defiance of tbe United State* authority is not a strong card for them to play. Salt is only |a pin's point on the map of the country. So, at least, it appears at this distance, but a correspondent writing from Idaho says that in regard to numbers the Mormons are not so wesk as is generally supposed in the east and that in an open outbreak against the government they could put Into the field an army of 100,000 men fully armed anil equipped and desperate With fanaticism. Tbe writer adds: "From Montana, extending sooth through Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Hew Mexico and Arizona, the Mormons have a complete chain —... the of these- territories," extending the entire distance through chains of mountains that would affiHd tbem peculiar protection in time of war. With every mountain pass in their pomesston an army of 100/)00 Mormons oould fir a long time, successfully repel an army of many times that number. In perfecting this chain of settlements in the fastnessesof high, rugged mountain*, the Mormons have ever had in view the possibility of a ww with the Government atrf their GACCEM in «ocb n^xmtest out-spokes one«pn open boast ft may be regarded as an idle boast, bat a war with the

POSTAL TELEGRAPHY. Already several bill have been duced in Congress for the establish of a system of postal telegraphy, differing in details the various pla propose the establishment of lines necting the principal cities of the try, but be under the supervision of postoffice department. Offices won' established in tbe postoffices and ments be made in stamps simil those used for letter postage. One provides that the rate for sending sages shall be one cent per word. would seem to be no inherent dlffl in the matter of postal telegraphy more than in that of transmitting mails. Indeed, as between tbe things, the latter is certainly much more laborious and complicated, ik ving as it does the conveyance dai: thousauds of tons of matter for sands of miles by land and sea. the postoffice department performs more than Herculien labor with the most safety, despatch and economy, it is hard to see why it could not act the far simpler work of the teleg ic service with equal satisfaction to public. The subject is one that merits the careful consideration of national law makers and an experi tal trial If no insuperable obstaoles be found In Us path. And along the postal telegraph should come postal savings bank, also located iu postoffice and under the manageme the post-master, whore our wor inen and women, widows, orphans all others, could deposit any sum, a penny upward, and feel absol certain that their hard earned would n6t be swept from them ons unlucky day by the failure of the savi bank. Such a system of safe dej toi ies for small earnings would dot to encourage and stimulate habit thrift and economy among the wor" classes than anything else could do. matters now stand, between the of burglars and the breaking of a' savings-banks, the safest thing with ond's money seems to bo to it, and under this belief it is often when it would be kept were the co tions for safekeeping more favoral

As 1b well known for several past the Mormon church has been ing up the choicest lands in the Ter riesof Utah, Idaho and Arizona an more recently begun the same thi Montana, Wyoming and Ne^ Me Iu many places the lands are wort for stock or farming purposes, where thay can be irrigated, and Mormons have deliberately taken session of the water Bources wher they have been able to do so. menting on this fact the Inter says: 4MVhen a ship load of pauper immie arnves in Utah they are token to the lug House," and from there distrlbuS various parts of the cou try. Them eeh are sent to tho towns, and the farm? sent to the locations (hut have been by the agents of ihe church. From the ury these settlers are furnished witli cessltles of life, a team, a plow, a wagoi a few cattle, and supported until the comc self sustaining, when the "grubs as thevcall it, 1r repaid to the enure interest. The richest pastures, them tile valleys, the springs and streams western slope of the Rocky mountal already occupied to a large extent Mormon people, and their clanship is that they prevent Gentile settlers from, ing among them."

The Inter Ooean further says tba the purpose of the Mormons ^to control of a vast strip of count tween the great plains and the slope and divide the United Sta two sections. It is hardly credible their plans are so audacious as tl whether so or not, the Mormon qu has certainly assumed large proportions already and ought not permitted to go on without every that can legally be put upon it. Iti of these facts, Gov. Crosby, of Mo recommends that hereafter Mo shall be debarred from entering steads or premptions upon the lands. The suggestion would api be a very sensible one.

JUDOE BALDWIN, ex-Attorney eral of Indiana, has recently re' from a five months' visit to Euro travels extended through England many, France, Italy, Holland ar gium. Speaking of tariff and free the Judge says that be wa« ama find, after crossing a bit of water twenty-five miles wide, a success splendid countries just as prospe as free-trade England and all wo under a high protective tariff, adds: "One thing is very significant: the living and all the necessaries of Hf' in the nations of the continent tha protective tariflls than in fiee-irade E and the condition of their working infinitely better.
