THE latost caudidsto for Presidential honors on the Republican side of the liouse Is Senator Cullom, of Illinois, who doesn't particularly want it, but would take It If ottered with less formality than on a silver platter.

TnKREare two kinds of saloon licences in Atlanta, Ga. One is general, and costs $1000 peryear. The other is for the sale of beer only, and costs $250 per year. The latter have been vetoed by the mayor, who says they evade the law, and their existence is unfair to the prohibition element and saloon men who pay the higher license. This is one of those rare cases in which the high license saloon people and the temperance element agree, and the mayor who has brought them together without a clash of arms possesses political tact and sagacity of a very high order.iV

Ex SENATOR JOSEPH E. MCDONAI.I died at his home in Indianapolis last Saturday night in the seventy-second year of his age. He commenced life as a saddler's apprentice at the age of twelve years, and fought his way np till at one time it seemed as tbongb the presidency was almost within his grasp. In point of ability be ranked above any member of the democratic party in Indiana of late years, but as he would never sacrifice a principle for success lie failed to Occupy Important positions which have been accorded men of smaller capacity• He was honest in lm conylctions aud ii&d the conrage of them to an

IF all accounts are true it is to be regretted that the Itata did not safely land her cargo of arms and ammunition aud deliver them to the Chilian insurgents. It appears th it in Santiago a reign of terror exists which has seldom been heard of in the history of civilized countries. Balmaceda is ruling with a rod iron ho has tho houses of all suspects marked with a red cross, which entitles his police to entei* when they choose to clubs up to date: do so, the occupants being forbidden to lock their doors. Men are clubbed, a mutilated and subjected to every species Grand Rapids of punishment and iudignity. A reign

of terror prevails, and the persecuted citizens are without any redress. The insurgents are equal in numbers to their oppressors, but being without arms and ammunition they cannot assert their

consequence. It is suld that this conntry is to be appealed to in the hope that will recognize the revolutionists as belligerents, and it their stories are borne out by proof It should certainly do so.

TUK alliance legislature of Nebraska last winter passed a law declaring all elevators public warehouses, so much of this year's grain will be stored to await better pi*fce», and a comparatively small portion of the crop will be placed ou the market at once. The law goes In force next week, aud tLe alliance has been actively encouraging its members to resort to elevators whenever possible, and borrow money for immediate expenses oh warehouse receipts, thus keeping the enormous crop of the state from the market for an indefinite period, or until there is a material advance in prices. In the general nature of things large crops warrant the belief that lower prices will rule this year than last. However, if there is a short crop in Europe the Americaotarmer will profit by it. But in any event the proposed storage system can only innure to the benefit of the elevator operators, and even should prices advance the chances are that the farmer who stores his grain and borrows money on it will have less than had he sold after harvest when his crop was ready for the market.

BASEBALL.

Before Q»e home team came home it distinguished itself by breaking the record and winning a game. It outdid itself this week by winning several more, and would have done still better had the umpire not been leagued with the visitors to do up Terre Haute on every occasion which presented itself. His decisions became so rank that forbearance ceased to be a virtue, and yesterday the police fired him off the grounds, but not before he had given the game to Dayton by a score of 9 to 0, although five innings bad been played, and the score stood 5 to 3 in favor of Terre Haute. The fellow's name is Hays, and so far. as this town is concerned it might be®Dennis. For the action of yesterday there is^no apology to offer. The people wait fair play and are

going

umpire in the league has to be fired from the grounds. If the management will stand the infliction of a fellow like Hays its patrons will not. To-morrow a series of three games with Fort Wayne will commence at the park. The bome team is playing good ball and there should be a large attendance.

On its face this shows a net increase for the whole county, over last year, of $1,247,400. The table does not include the value of railroad and telegraph property for either this or last year, and the statement for the present year does not include the bank assessments or joint stock companies. The assessment of the banks Sn the city will be in the neighborhood of 1700,000, and that of the joint stock companies 1800,000, which, added to the uet increase would swell ibe figures to $2,547,490. But the county assessor says this will be wiped out when the equalization board gets through with it. If, however, it is allowed to remain it will show a net increase of about

almost as small as the soul of many tax payers who annnally perjor# themselves when making their a**&s$m€nt returns.

The question at issue was tJo construction of the law, which provides that whenever the parents or guard tana of twenty-

fire children attending ally school shall petition the board of school commissioners to that effect, the board shall provide for the teaching of German in such school under the system of grading adopted by the Indianapolis school board. ^German was not taught in the first five of the twelve grades into which the public school course is divided. Theodore Sanders and others brought suit to require th^teaching of German in the primary grades, and Circuit Judge Howland issued a mandate in accordance with the petition of the plaintiffs. The school board appealed, and the Supreme court affirmed the decision. Judge Miller, who wrote the opinion, pointed out that German was one among a number of studies specifically provided for by legislative enactment, and held that school commissioners' power of regulating the grading bf schools and tho course of study must be exercised subject to the dominant law of the State. Judges Elliott and Coffey concurred witL Judge Miller. Judre McBride wrote a dissent Ing opinion hich was concurred in by Judge Olde. He held that neither German, French, English or any other foreign languages bad any rights in the public schools that Yhe construction of the law by liis colleagues tended to undermine every vestige of authority on the part of tho school board that the constitution contemplated a school system for American citizens only, and such as will tit them for American citizenship and that any legislation recognizing any langunge as against the pre vailing one v»» VOidt

THIS H'J ATE NORMAL.

The commencement season of the State Normal school was inaugurated Tuesday night by tho Philotnatl.e society, which gave its twentieth an nual entertainment, consisting of a well arranged programme of vocal and instrumental music and literary yxertiises. This was followed on Wednesday by a similar entertainment by the Eclectic Literary society, being its twen-ty-first annual effort in that line. The commencement exercises proper took place onsFriday, beginine at 9 a. m. in the main hall of the building. The graduating class numbered thirty-nine, and was composed of a body of students of which the institution may well be proud. The class has made an excellent record, and goes forth into the world with the best wishes of all the members of the faculty. Many of them have already secured good positions,and none Of them will have any trouble in doing so.

The following will attend the annual convention of the National Teachers' association in Toronto, commencing July 14: Professor Siler, Professor McTaggart, Mi.-s Hill, President Parsons, Miss Auderson and Miss Tarney. The party will be accompanied by Mrs. I. H. C. Royse, Miss Minnie and Mr. Clarence Royse.

Members of the faculty are now osttlin.lng their plans for the summer, aud all, or nearly all, will be out of the city for a time. Miss Long will go to Nebraska to visit for several weeks. Mrs. Byers, President Parsons, Professor Siler, Professor Sandison, Professor Charman and Miss Tarney will spend a number of weeks doing institute work over this and adjnininir states.

ST. MARTS COMMENCEMENT. This has been a memorable week at "St. Mary's of the Woods." In addition to the annual commencement exercises it waa the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of the institution by the Sisters of Providence, under the direction of the venerated Mother Theodore. Preparations for a suitable celebration of the anniversary have been going on for several years. The Jubilee was inaugurated on Sunday morning with service in the little chapel, whioh had been prepared for the occasion and looked beautiful with its lighted tapers and elegant llowers. The service was an address by Rev. E. Bradley, S. J., to the assembled pupils. Owing to the arrival ofta large number of former pupils the chapel was crowded. The singing was very fine and was highly appreciated by all whose good fortune it was to hear it.

The exercises were continued on Monday, and on Tuesday the former pupils of the institute took possession of the buildings. There were about 150 of the old pupils present. In the afternoon they gave a special musical and literary programme in the chapel, and their love feast continued throughout the entire day.

The graduating exercises were held in the conventual chapel on Wednesday, and were attended by a large concourse of people from all portions of the state. There were six graduates, Miss Mary Green, Of Loogootee, Ind. Miss Frances Rager, of Chicago Miss Maud O'Donnell, of Covington, Ky. Miss Mabel Dittemore, of Indianapolis Miss Pauline Goben, of Crawfordsvllle, and Miss Annie Cinne, of Indianapolis. The exercises embraced both musical and literary productions, and were highly creditable to teachers and pupils alike. Senator Turple delivered the commencement oration, which was very enthusiastically received, and on its conclusion Bishop Cbatard presented the premiums. Among the visiting clergymen present

the opening exercises were Bishop Cbatard and Monsignor Bessotiies, Indian»polis Fathers Gu^gnen, Vlnoonnes Sondermann, Lawrer.oefenrg Schnell, McEroy, Ryves and Reich, Terre Haute Doyle, Washington, Ind.
