THE campaign can now proceed. Prohibition candidate Levering has been officially notified of his nomination.
WITH the mercury coquetting with the one hundred mark on the average thermometer it is interesting to read in the Indianapolis papers that anew fur store has been established there.
THEY haven't killed an umpire over in Indianapolis this week, but they stand ready to do so, led by the newspapers. The reason is that the Indianapolis club has lost several games at home, and to the Indianapolis people it does not seem possible that their club can lose unless it is the fault of the umpire.
MR. BRYAN is the most numerously nominated candidate for the presidency that has ever invited the suffrages of the people. Being the choice of the Democrats, Populists and Free Silver party, he has nominations to burn. He is going to be kept busy if he tries to stand on three platforms at one and the Maine time.
A SIX-WHEKI.KD cycle, a sextupl^, has succeeded in beating the Empire state ex press, the fastest train in the world, in a half-mile race near Syracuse, N. Y. The sextuple riders were under full headway when the railroad train reached them, and In a quarter mile the odds were even. In the next quarter the six riders were able to defeat the trhin by four lengths. There seems to be nothing impossible for the riders of the cycles of to-day, but the man who would have prophecied two or three years ago that any sort of a wheel ridden by men would be able to defeat a railroad train would have been laughed to scorn as a fool.
TIIK Transvaal flllibusters, who sought to annex the Boer republic to the PJnglish possessions in South Africa early this year, were convicted in the Londou courts this week of armed invasion of a country at peace with England, and were sentenced to terms ranging from ten to fifteen months without labor. This ends, for the time being, an episode that for a time threatened the peace of South Africa. For. the time being, only, however, for the desire of the British government, as shown by the testimony taken in this trial, to own the valuable gold fields of the peaceful South African republic will lead to further complications in the course of time. This wily diplomat, President Krueger, of the Transvaal republic knows this, too, and is pre paring to defend his people at any cost.
IT would seem that free speech is pro hlbited in some parts of this country, particularly in Delaware, where a number of the advocates of single tax are in jail for daring to give utterance to their views in addressing crowds on the public streets. In one city, Dover, this right is refused them, and the city council refused to pass resolution to permit them to make public speeches in this manner, although the right is given to others for public speaking In other lines. The single taxers are going to fight the matter through the courts, and it is to be hoped that they will win. Whether the single tax is a good thing or not, those who believe in it should be allowed to express their views in public if they so choose, and in passing it may be remarked that the sure way to render any measure, good or bad, popular is for those charged with the enforcement of the law to use the law to suppress it.
SOMK of the officials of the Chicago police department haw been advising citisens to Ket guns and shoot tytrglars and highwaymen on sight. These officials even went, so far as to severely criticise victims of robbers for not having killed the criminals who are able to escape the officers of the law. A few nights ago a citixen shot at a supposed burglar and killed his aged father-in-law. In all its history Chicago never before was so severely infected with criminals. They seem to have lost all aense of fear of the law or its officers. The police are arresting thieves and robbers right and left on suspicion and thereby demonstrating the fact that the city has been harboring known thieves and robbers. In the discussion of the situation that fact should be considered as the foremost one. These criminals have been permitted. through one influence or another, to be at liberty and In idleness and now the people are paying the penalty. It will not do to say the suspects oould not be arrested unless accused of a crime the police know full well how to rid a city of the presence of a crook when he has no pull and has incxirml their displeasure.
"To the average person the tactics pursued in the annual encampments of the militia of the several states seem like horee play Indulged in to give a lot of gold braided people a chance to show off. Kor instance i» the en imj «t of the Indian* militia this wwi tlu was a project attack by a portion of the militia, co posed of young men and mere boy* had marched through a hard rain the preceding afternoon, and camp «*ui with only a blanket between them a*t 4 ti -i wet ground.

shown on were the volunteers of the late rebellion, and forced marches and midnight or daylight attacks were unknown to them when they enlisted. It did not require long, however, for them to become familiar with the stern duties of the soldier, and it is doubtful if the present militia were called on for service whether their experiences in these
camps
for instructions would
make them any better soldiers than were their fathers before them. The young men of to-day are just as patriotic as their recent ancestors, and if called on for service for their country they would be abl to render just as effective service. They would risk their lives just as readily for their country as did their predecessors, but it does not seem reasonable that they should be called on to risk them by un-
necessary exposure just to gratify a whim »|f| /VI ^lofl of some maKe believe soldiers. I
THE "middle of the road" Populists seem to be in control of the party in this state, as shown by the results of their state convention this week. They put a full ticket in the field, and then appointed a commit tee to arrange with the Democrats for fusion on the electoral ticket. There seems to be a great deal of feeling between the '^middle of the road" faction and the Democratic managers, and although the latter were in Indianapolis during the convention trying to arrange for an indorsement at least of Shively, the Democratic candidate for governor, they could effect no such arrangement. The following is the Populist ticket nominated:
Governor—The Rev. Thomas Wadsworth, of Daviess county. Lieutenant-Governor—A. P. Hanna, of Montgomery.
Auditor—N. M. Jennings, of Johnson. Secretary of State—Silas M. Holcomb, of Gibson.
Treasurer of State—F. J. S. Robinson, of Putnam. Attorney-General—D. H. Fernandes, of Madison.
Reporter of the Supreme Court—Thomas W. Force, of Martin. Statistician—J. S. McKeever, of Clark.
Superintendent of Public Instruction—J. B. Freeman, of Howard. Judges of the Appellate Court—A. J. Padgett, of Daviess Adam Stockinger, of Ripley I. N. Pierce, of Vigo Jonn R. Thornburgh, of Madison Nelson J. Bosard, of Porter.
THE good that can be done by a rich man whose heart is in the right place is shown by the action of a Brooklyn man this week. The health commissioner of that city gave notice that the liberality of a gentleman who refused to give his name enabled him to supply the children of the Brooklyn poor with 1,000 bottles of sterilized milk daily through the heated term. The death rate among the children of the poorer classes in Brooklyn has been very high this summer, and it is the opinion of the health department that this is caused by the poor quality of milk supplied. The unostentatious-generosity of one man will thus no doubt save many little lives that otherwise might be lost. The practical good resulting from such gifts as this far outweighs all the million dollar benefactions to colleges and schools, gifts that are always accompanied by the greatest ostentation. If the rich men were a little more inclined to soften the pathway of their less fortunate brothers in practical ways like the Brooklyn man, and show that they were willing to devote a portion of their wealth for the benefit of mankind, and were willing, like the Brooklyn man, to do their giving quietly, therg would not be such a feeling of unrest in this country, a feeling that manifests itself in the taking up of every ism and fad that presents itself.
HOKK SMITH, Secretary of the Interior, has through his paper, the Atlanta Journal, espoused the cause of free silver, and advocates the election of Bryan and Sewall, although he has been devoting his time to fighting the free silver craze throughout Georgia. It places him in a peculiar position with the administration, and it is said that he will retire from his place in the cabinet. Others members of the cabinct have announced publicly that they cannot support Bryan, and it said that Secretary Carlisle made the statement some time ago that if his party adopted a free silver platform he would vote for the Republican candidate. He denies this, but if he should vote for the candidate of his party he has at the same time furnished the most convincing argument, briefly stated, that has been formulated against the adoption of free silver for this country. Here is the unanswerable reasons he gives why free silver should not prevail: First—That there is not a free-coinage country in the world to-day that is not on a silver basis. Second—That there is' not a gold-standard country in the world to-day that does not use silver as money along with gold. Third—That there is not a silver-standard oountry in the world to-day that uses any gold as money along with silver. Fourth
That there is not a silver-standard country in the world to-day that has more than one-third as much money in circulation per capita as the United States have, and Fifth—-That there is not a silver-standard country in the world to-day where the laboring man receives fair pay for his day's work.
