INDIANAPOLIS has had the annual May festival thia week, and the people of the capita] city will not land on earth for ten days yet.
THE man who claims to be able to keep track of the tariff schedules in the bills before the present congress should have a pension, on the ground of total disability.
"GENERAL" HOOAN, theCoxeyite, who captured a Northern Pacific train, was given six months in jail for bis offense. This is not the kind of rest these soldiers are looking for.
THE United States Marshals are not losing anything by the commonweal movement. Their bill for extra services and help, now before congress, amounts to $50,000, and the end is not yet..
THE story of attempted bribery of Senators in behalf of the sugar trusts amendment to the tariff bill reads very much like an attempt to prevent Senators selling out. It is an old trick at Washington. It serves to scare the vulnerable legislator into being honest with himself and, sometimes, it scares the already corrupted legislator from delivering bis vote as he had been paid to do.
"AIUY, fairy Lillian" Kussell, having obtained all the advertising possible out of her 'steenth marriage to Signor Perugini, is now getting a little additional notoriety by the announcement that she has left him permanently. She will, of course, insist on an increased salary on account of her added drawing powers. Marriage, separation and divorce are more valuable to Lillian in the way of advertising than oven lost diamonds.
THE Supreme court of the State has declined a rehearing in the fee and salary case affecting sheriffs, thus strengthening the belief that the law will be upheld by the court in the diff«ront oujjah nrtootinar th« ntl»ar nffioaraIf it were known positively that the law would be held good, there would not be as many candidates for county offices as are reported from every county. Many a man is anxious to bo a candidate this fall in the belief that the new law will be upset, either by court or legislature:
IT takes all kinds .^people to make a World. On aiH'outit tif the small-pox epidemic in Chicago Mayor Hopkins ordermi the city collector to refuse license to nil ragpickers, rags being considered a good medium for the spread of the disease. The wholesale rag dealers thereupon entered a protest, and said that the refusal to grant license had thrown 5,000 ,iuen of thatoity out of work, who are unable to earn a living in any other way than by picking rags. Hag picking is not looked upon as a very ennobling occupation, but it is quite an important industry when it. gives employment to five thousand men, even in Chicago in such times HS theve.
BUA/IL ban severed all diplomatic relations with Portugal, and sent the latter'* representatives, bag and baggage, out of the country, because of the protection given the insurgent admiral, De Gatna, l\v the Portugese war vessels in the harbor of Kio Janeiro. Ordinarily (mob an act is equivalent to a declaration of war, but it is thought that the hot blood of the tropics will not be aroused to sueh an extent that they cannot kiss aud make up after the necessary amount of bluster and swagger has been indulged in. They me so accustomed to war and rumors of war in South America that they count that day wasted that doesn't develop a warcUmd.
IT seems a long time ahead to be figuring on the presidential nomination in 1000, yet that is what William C. Whitney, ex-sooretary of the navy, is doing. He has been agreed upon as the likeliest candidate for governor in New York next year, and his candidacy is looked upon as something that will reconcile the Democratic factions in York state, and lu the event of success he will be a formidable candidate for the presidency. Hia nomination woald be a severe setback to Senator Hi^l, but as Mr. Whitney is just bad enough as a politician to be solld with Tammany, and just good enough to be on familiar terms with the goody goody mugwump*, his candidacy is likely to be quite popular.
IT la no pleasant thing to be a judge Ht. Clair county, Missouri, where the holder ot that important office can make up hla mind to spend hia term in jail. For more than ten years the county court of St. Clair has resisted the process

In resisting any recognition of the debt. County judge after county judge has been sentenced to jail, and neither side shows the least disposition to yield. One of the judges died recently in jail, having been driven insane by his loop confinement, and now the others have resigned. When their successors are appointed they too will go to jail. We often hear of men who are willing to sacrifice themselves on the altar of duty, but this is certainly tte most exaggerated example of self sacrifice on record.
IT is not an enviable piece of advertising the town of Fulton, Ills., is trying to obtain in the effort to secure Congressman Breckenridge as its Fourth of July orator. He is without principle or honor, is being repudiated by the majority of the decent people of his own home, and the great national holiday is the last day of all that be should face an audience to dwell upon national honor, pride and patriotism. Mr. Breckenridge says he will probably accept the invitation on account of the five hundred dollars offered, as he is a "poor man" and needs it. He is right aboutoue thing, he is a "poor" man—a very poor one and it is to be hoped that if he does make his speech in Fulton his only auditors will be the oommittee that invited him.
Now that several Colorado towns have clt clerkesses and city treasureressess following up the Kansas idea of Mayoresses, the Populists of the latter state are talking of making Mrs. Lease con gresswoman-at-large. So far as heard from, there is no crying demand for an iucrease in thp talking abilities of congress, in fact there is general complaint of too much talk for theamount of work done, and Mrs. Lease's presence there, even if permissible, would not tend to lessen the complaint. If Mrs. Lease's husband, earlier in life, had seen to it that her babies kept her out of politics, the community would at least have been no worse off, while his peace of mind would perhaps have been more notaable. It is his fault that she occupies her present position, and he isn't entitled to very much credit for being a very small tail to the kite.
A NEW business enterprise has been inaugurated in the east, a corporation to loan money on household goods at reasonable rates of interest. Recent investigations in the east show that the usurers rob the poor in this way, and it was shown that many householders who had mortgaged their furniture for $100 had been paying |6 interest on the loan every month for years, and still owed the original $100, with no prospect of ever getting enough money together to cancel the debt. The mouey lenders were cast out of the temple for their nefarious practices, but they have plied tiieir vocation notwithstanding. There are laws and laws against usury, but the poor people who are compelled to borrow money on their household goods are not in a position to force the punishment of those who indulge in it. This nev enterprise affords a practical remedy for the abuse, and it cannot proved anything but a success, a success that can be duplicated in every community.
IT is asserted that if the new tariff measure known as the "Gorman bill" should become a law with Its present sugar schedule, the sugar trust will make from four to five million dollars. The new bill provides that the duty shall not take effect until January 1st, 1S96. Thia provision was inserted for the benefit of the Louisiana planters

THE "model industrial town" of Pull man is being put to a te8t that is likely to shatter all hopes that one of the great problems in the welfare of labor had been solved. Pullman has been described, extolled and declared to be perfoct in ita plan, but All thin was befdrtJ It had been tested in the boiling down process of "hard times." There had been no national "panic," until the present one, since Pullman was estab lished. The company ownership of the town with the rental scheme for all employes worked well so long as the com pany was making enormous profits. The men received good wages and the town prospered. With the coming of hard times the situation at Pullman quickly resolved itself into what it is elsewhere. Wages were reduced, and the men reduced to a hand-to-mouth existence. The Pullman Company's dividends did not diminish, however, but right now while the strike is on the stockholders are receiving $600,000, the aggregate of a 2 per cent, quarterly divi dend. So the story is no different with Pullman from what it is in other indus trial centers. If anything it is a trifle worse for the men, because their house rent is withheld by the company from the wages, thereby lessening the amount of cash with which to buy a scant supply of food, that the company's dividend may not be skipped. The men also say that the day after Mr. Pullman sub scribed $100,000 to the Field museum, some months ago, there wa^a reduction in wages. Altogether it will be seen that the "model industrial town" is only a model plan when all conditions are so favorable that the workingman is permitted to have a fair living for his share of the earnings, aud that when the business is dull the workingman and not the company feels the effect of the shrinkage.
JUDGE CAT.DWKLT, will receive another boom for the presidency when a bill Is introduced into Congress, as It will be, to incorporate into law his ruling in the Union Pacific receivership question, which was looked upon by labor people as the greatest victory for organised labor ever sanctioned by law. The bill is to be fathered by one of the members of the committee that investigated Judge Jenkins. The bill is designed to reform the practice by which federal courts are practically engaging in the railroad business through the appoint-

and to enable them to collect another year's bounty from the government, but the effect it would have upon the trust was not taken into consideration. It now appears that the trust has bought up from the planters in advance the entire crop of Cuba, Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbadoes and other sugar-growing islands in the West Indies which have usually shipped to the United States, with the understanding that it shall be delivered in New York before January 1st next. After January 1st, when this duty goes into effect, the trust will have a perfect right to add 40 per cent, to the price of sugar to represent the duty imposed upon the raw article, which will be clear gain to them. This sugar schedule will doubtless lead to the defeat of the bill, for it is known that the four Populist Senators will vote against the bill as at present constituted. On the other hand, if the sugar schedule is stricken out the Louisiana Senators will defeat the bill. With these faots in view it looks as if Senator Brice's assertion that the bill will become a law by June 15th is rather premature.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby de stroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

ment of receivers. The courts thus secure absolute authority over r&ilroads, and as the receiverships run from year to year the courts succeed the railroad officials in conducting the business of the road. These receivers, as a rule, cut off*all debts except those due the bondholders, and the laborers and those who have furnished materials and supplies are left to hold the bag. Judge Caldwell was the first to recognize this abuse and attempt to correct it, and he made a proviso in the Union Pacific receivership that the receivers should pay debts due from the railroad for work, labor, materials, machinery, fixtures and supplies of every kind, including damages to persons or property whieh accrued after the execution of the mortgage under which the receiver was appointed. In the present state of the public mind a movement to deprive corporations of some of their power, even in this roundabout way, is not likely to prove unpopular.
