James A. Mount—good!

This is now the state of Ir.dihanna..

The nomination of Mount is tantamount to an election.

It is to be hoped that Cleveland is not nailing into office many Bowlers.

The house said it would adjourn May 18th, but May ISth in the senate falls upon June 8th.

The Hon. John Tanner of Illinois may not know how to spell but he is a great spelUbimder wiien it comes to getting delegates and votes.

Under the extension of civil service it will be a relief for Logan Carlisle to .leave a department in which he can no longer cut off heads.

A new name, invented in Kentucky, is the "gold-bug octopus." The combination is used to scare young Populists to sleep.

While the Democratic party is .splitting the Republican is fceing kept more closely together. It is uniting on one issue and on one man.

Judging from the accusations of buying and selling between the gold and silver Democrats of Michigan, that stale is a sort of Sixth ward.

The Enquirer's head lines, "Thirty thousand more Demmies put under civil service by Grover's sweeping order," aptly descritbe Grover's greedy gra.b.

The Boston Baptists have dedicated a million dollar property to the Lord. These people seem to believe whait they (believe much harder than the IngersollItes do.

Mr. Gladstone is under promise to his physicians never to make another public speech. We are needing some English doctors in this country, right now, to treat Tillman, Allen and others for that talking habit.

Mr. Cleveland's extension of civil service to 30,000 office holders, 90 per cent Democratic, could have a bearing on a third term. Many are under obligations to Mr. Cleveland, bu't cannot be to his successor. But perish the thought of selfishness on the part of Mr. Cleveland, who sits up nights to think about others.

The method of the quack who turned his patient's disease in'to fits and then tried to cure them is being emulated by political quacks who scars their pa•tien'ts into a great horror of Wall street and gold bugs and lead them off to Populism and free silver. They can toe led into Populism without leaving the Democratic party.

A Kentucky "Ibiimetailtc" Jeague 'in u, six teen,-line resoluttion, called Black-Ib-um a giant champion, a, Moses, 'Stonewall Jackson, Wellington, a hero, and summed up a fenv missing terms -in "a man equal to t'be general demands of the age.» This unique oharacter 'is r.ow parading Washington to a broadbrimmed 'hat ind a suit of grey jeans with black velvet trim'miings.

Colonel Hardy, congressman from the Second district, 'is a 'pertinacious man. (He started out to make a president and failing in that has turned this attention to making a vice president. It will be remembered that .thee olonel consecrated himself to the mission of nominatOng General. Harrison. Last 'weeik he boldly attacked vReed irn his lair and tried to •make him come out as vice president on the McKinley ticket. He has all the nerve of a thoroughly acclimated Hoosder. By the way, air. Heed's answer to Mr. Hardy was 'tflu.ii."

Secretary Morton will leave the public service a haggard old man if the seed business is not soon dispensed of. A congressman has made complaints of his assortment of rare flower seeds, and no wonder, for it was composed of sunflowers, castor beans, bartonia, sweet ipeas, nasturtium and ipomea. Prabafoly Morton ordered sunflower seeds and castor-oil beans to make the service ridiculous, but people should not. despise sunflower seeds, as they make goot bait for rat-traps.

The most active man in the senate is Senator Hil, who is fightung single handed .the 'bond resolution. It lis probable that he will fail and that by a vote of Republicans, Populists and antiCleveland Democrats the resolution will pajss. A resolution which has the support of Tollman, Windy Alien, Peffer and Pettxgrew must (be deficient in something to please them. Hill is a bold, bad man who hates humbug and sham, and the good Mr. Cleveland, and .therefore he is waging his solitary figiht agaijist Peffer's resolution, because it and Sts supporters are full of humbug and cant.

The line from the old hymn "The Lord moves in mysterious ways Ms wonders to perform," has received oonrfirmation in politics. If any political reform was repugnant to the nature of Democracy it was civil service reform. The party known as "an orga.nieed greed for office" could not from its very nature and the cause of its prolonged existence sincerely accept civil service reform, but it might make use of it. By a mysterious dispensation, which many could not understand, Democracy was allowed 'to return and fill the offices. "With 'Che prospect of a long retiracy from power toefore it. It ihas made use ot tfo© ctv4 ser­

vice system and endorsed it. Under n? other circumstances could it have been made to see any good in it. It is estimated that about SO per cent, of th. office holders -are Democrats and reliance must be placed upon the •power that converted Democracy to -civil service reform to remove incompetent orfice holders by the slow procseses of superannuation and death.

•Indiana takes her usual place in the great galaxy of states, with high principles inscribed on her banner. Indeed, she stands farther forward for sound, honorable ifinance than four years ago. The state of Morton and Harrison does not falter in proclaiming protection, for labor and safety for labor's wages, protection for industry and safety for investments, whether those investments are the mechanics' deposits in the building and loan or savings ban&s, the merchants' in the national banks or the manufacturers' in the factories. Protection and Prosperity, Sound Money and Solvency are the,Republican watchwords.

North, the rich Englishman who died the other day, leaving a fortune of fabulous amount, or large and uncertain enough to be the subject of fables, was but one of an army of young men sent out from Great Britain to gather riches for the old country. The balance of trade against Great Britain of about $650,000,000 a year includes the incomes and interest from the foreign investment which are not reported in commerce reports. North made a great fortune in South America, while Cecil Rhodes and other Englishmen, with little better start, made great fortunes in Africa. In India, Australia, America and Africa the cadets of fortune developed their own opportunities and found fields for Britain's busy capital to work in In tea, wool, nitrate of soda or diamonds they found something that all the world buys and laid the world under tribute. They have been good sons to the mother country and their mother has taken good care of them. She floats a great navy and builds forts everywhere to protect those of her own household in which she has been wise and right.

Indiana is for IMcKinley. The latent hope in many an Indian'^, mind that by •some unexpected move General Harrison might be placed in nomination honorably has nearly vanished, but while the hope was entertained many from a feeling of loyalty hesitated to declare themselves for any other candidate.

It has not been thought by General Harrison's admirers that he was in any sense a candidate, but It wa-s hoped that in case of a dead-lock he might be brought forward. It never was a very strong hope, because Harrison was bound, in honor to encourage no such hope, and grandly has he borne himself amid great pressure and- temptation. He could not have been named, with honor to avowed candidates, as long as one of them seemed entitled to a majority of the delegate votes.

His best friend would become Harrison's worst enemy 'by using his came to defeat a candidate who is sure of success if Harrison is not introduced and he should not be introduced unless there is a positive "no choice" condition in convention.

McfKinley, Allison, Reed, Morton— each is capable of filling t'he presidential chair, but of these four one has most naturally been selected by the people as the expression of a great idea, and there ifi not much room for doubt that McKinley will receive the nomination under circumstances as exceptional as they are honorable to him.

It is naturally the -first thought that 'the heavy investment by the public in .bi'cycles is a sign of prosperity and plenty of money, 'for t'he ibicycle is an expensive toy, when (bought merely a3 a imeans of pleasure, and few buy sudh articles, worth from $50 to $100, that are not getting along well. The Washington 'Post iin discussing this phase of the aU-prevaiiing subject, said: "It will mot do to conclude that this branch of trade is a fair guage of general business conditions. In the first place, the bicycle is a d'eadly -damper to various other branches of 'business. While it enriches some cittzems it impoverishes others. It has mowed a wide swath in the profits of thousands, and has driven some old and reputable firms into bankruptcy. In the second place, the purchase of a Wheel is inot proof of the purchaser's prosperity. There is a craze for the ibicycle. Everybody, (high and low, rich and poor, is buying it. It is the old story over again of the yokel, who, in mid'wtinter, xemarlke-d' to this fatiher, 'I cam go without boots, dad, but I must have a buzzum pin.'

After making allowances for the busyness and profit diverted from various Hines of enterprise 'there must remain a handsome margin of mefwlyjcreated business that -has increased the avenues of employment for labor. The benefits and profits of the "business may be exaggerated, as many compamies 'in existence, or get-ting ready to exist, iwttll find out but, so far, ft doubtless !has been am activity in dull times that has made money move, wihioh otherwise would have been fcdle.

THE CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR The Republicans have done themselves honor in nominating James A. Mount for governor. A good soldier, good business man, good farmer and ?ood citizen, he meets every demand. ,, and (has to hold frequent meetings

V-

He is an earnest and graceful speaker and will win the respect of all classes upon the platform. In no county will iie receive more hearty support t'han in Vigo, where he is well known and admired. While Mr. Mount will receive the hearty support of his own party, he will have the respect and good will of many in opposing parties, for, while he is a consistent and earnest Republican, he has been too broad, generous and courteous to excite bitterness or invite aPouse from his opponents. For a man chat has not been a self interested politician, he has an unusual number of friends from one end of the state to another, in all classes and parties. Spell the name of the next governor, James A. Mount.

The humor of the American joker, happened to hit the Boer ruler in the right place and he purchased a full set of Mr. Clemens' books.

One of the shortest wills ever filed was offered the o'ther day at the surrogate's office in New York. It was the work of Andrew Wesley Kent, a lawyer, and was written on a sheet of his office paper. It read: "My Will: I give, devise and bequeath unto my-, wife, Nina Kent, all my esate, both real and personal. I appoint her .executrix thereof, and revoke all former, wills."

The widow of the Chinese1' Admiral Ting has committed suicide on the anniversary of her husband's death. It may be remembered that he killed himseif after the surr|nder of his fiag-shiip at Wei-Hai-Wei in, February of last year, and his widow's suicide will be regarded in China as a very fitting and respectful way of showing attachment to his memory.

Heinrich von Treitschke, the famous German historian, whose death was reported a few days ago, was one of the most popular and influential teachers in the University of Berlin. Fully 2,000 students heard the professor regularly and on the days when he gave public lectures ministers of state and princes were glad to be among the great throngs that crowded the auditorium, stood in the aisles or windows a.nd sat on the edge of the platforms in front of his desk.

PARISIAN BICYCLE STOCKINGS.

College Colors and Startling Designs—BrHiiant and Gaudy Effects. Kaleidtosteopic effects 'in bttcyde stockings are the order of the d'ay, says the New York World. The shops are full of hose fearfully and wonderfully made amd bearing o.n their vivid' surfaces the most exciting -deslfgns and scenes.

The plain reds and blues and greens •which flashed aQong the boulevard but a month ago are seen no more. They have given place to bright crimson and yellow affairs embroidered in cowtrastling shades and embellished witih designs' wihic'h range from the wearer's monogram to exciting collisions on the wheel.

Silk ihose are, of course, the most effective and, one need inot add, the most expensive. iFive dollars is a small prl.ee for a pair of the -latest Parisian importations. Strips land checks are among the more modest designs. (Red, whtte and Iblue hose are offered to patriotic young women and, of course, the college stocking is out in large numtbers. The'Priinceton colors, ora/rnge and black, are among 'the most popular.

The ful'l beauty of these hose is supposed to be obscured by modest Skirts and ih'i'gto b'ooits, but many of the kn ckerbookered' women' riders who filled the Long Island amd Staten Island roa-ds last Sunday had apparently forgotten this.

Yotrng men, too, are wearing some astonishing hose with their foiteycle stilts. Bri'lliamt colors and involved patterns are seen, ttooug'h to their everlasting credit be it saM the hose of male bicyclists are less conspicious "than thos^of young women who acoompany them Young1 mem run largely to the college colors of Yale, Harvard and Princeton.

joining hands with, the (German protectorate on the west coast. Freebootiing expeditions set out from the Transvaal and established' in Beehuanaland the republics of 'Stellaalnd and Goschen. The understanding between the Germans and the Boers, of'which ©o muoh has been heard in 'the last few days, really dates from- this time. iA few far seeing believers irn the British imperial idea then perceived what the carryi-ng out of -this design would mean for 'British supremacy in South Africa. It would cut the (Cape Colony entirely off from extension (northward into the 'admi'tedly rich amd promising regions beyond the confines of the colony. Long before this time explorers l?ke Thomas Baines, Hartley, and others had sent home glowing reports of the riches hidden in the soil of Matabeleland, Mashonaland, and the adjoining territories. The one mam who must be credited wit'h the practical frustration, of this scheme is Mr. Cecil Rhodes, Who was then quite a youth, sitting as an unofficial member of the cape assembly, but had ^already aoquired a fortune in the diamond (fields at Kimberley.

The imperial government, having been tarily aroused to the danger, dispatched Sir Charles Warren with a military expedition to protect (British interests 'in (Bechuamaiand, and to settle the tribal disputes which were being fostered by the (Boers a't -the time, the eventful result of which was, thanfks largely to Mr. 'Rhodes, who had been appointed attestant commissioner of the disorganized territories, that the Boers had 'to haul down the flags Which they had hoisted in their petty new republics, and a British protectorate was proclaimed over the whole area.

He Carried Off Her Trousseau. Miss Mamie Young's, marriage to James Korschek, which was to have occurred Friday, has been postponed for two weeks. William McDermott, a former flame of Miss Young's, who caused the postponement, is locked up at the polfce station, charged with larceny. Three weeks ago MoDermott and Miss Young are said to have been engaged. Unit in the midst of McDermott's happiness his fiancee announced that she didn't believe he was the man of her liking. Last Sunday morning McDermott met Miss Young. She earned a large bundle in her arms. "Where are you going, Mamie?** asked McDermott. "Why, haven't you heard?" answered Miss Young sweetly. "I am engaged to Jim Korschek and I am taking some cloth to a dress maker's now for my wedding gown." "Well, it will never g£*t there," exclaimed McDermott, and at the same time he snatched the bundle from Miss Young and fled.

She swore out a warrant agialnst McDermott Monday and Officers Shaughnessy and Harding arrrested him. The wedding cloth has not ye(t been recovared.—Chicago Infter-Ocean.

The "Rustic" Millinery.

The chief idea, in millinery, In addition to the riotous carnival of color on »very ha't, is to make the shapes as rough and fantastic as possible. The low straws may well be called "rus:ic," for they resembel bits of hedge ows, plowed fields, etc., more than mything else in 'terture and lrregukary. Some are simply made of square or ound or rough straw folde dand twist•d in any vagrant way by the officfatng milliner. One heliotrope straw bonet has furrows of straw on the crown, rolled back brim in front and what is mown as a "curtain"—and a very •uckered curtain, too—(behind. The rim in frortt is filled in wSt!h shaded ivet pansies and lea/ves and the uckers of the curtain with pansies and roses. An attgrefte of tea roses and jj-age rises from the furrowed crown one side and paste brooch gleams am Its crevices at the other. Less viously "rustic," but equally eccenrj0

Views as to the Kesnlt of His Machination. When vague rumors (first got about that Germany had formed the conception of establishing colomes in Africa the reports were ridiculed by I^rd Granville, then secretary of state for foreign affairs, on the ground that the Germans were not a colonizing people, and it was evidently felt by himself and his colleagues in Mr. Gladstone's government of that day that Germany was not, and never -would become, & serious competitor of Great Britain in any part of the world outside Europe, says the Contemporary Heview. Owing to the prevalence of this opinion in the mi-nds not only of the government of the day, but of most well informed peopel in'England, -Germany, as a matter of fact, stole a march on Great Britain. About this time the Transvaal, which had a few years before regained its independence, conceived the project of stretching across Bechuanaiand and

WOMEN DOCTORS IN INDIA.

Admirable Resnlts of Kfforts by Lkdy Dufferin and Others. Her majesty the queen empress will receive* with satisfaction last year's report of the National Association for Supplying iFemale Medical Aid to the Women of India, says the Edinburg Scotsman. In eleven years since its organization, -under the name of the Lady iDufferin 'Fund, the number of women and girls annually relieved ad cured, had. risen in 1895 to above 1,000,000 (1,054,387), and in the last three years the number has doubled itself.

The movement has a pathetic history. After suffering for years from native quacks, the (Maharanee of Punna, the •diamond deposit State of Central India, was cured by am English lady—a medical missionary. Her highness wrote to Queen Victoria, inclosed the letter in a gold locket, put the jewel round the •doctor's neck, and charged her not to take it off until she gave it into the queen's hands. (Her majesty sen't a kind answer, and laid on the next new viceroy, when dismissing him, the "special injunction" to launch a scheme for the improvement of the medical treatment of her Indian female subjects.

With Irish impetuosity and Scots

thoroughness combined, Lady DD-uffer-in organized the fund all over India, and in London also for training native women doctors, as well as healing the suffering.' The invested funds amount to £129,000 at pa^ and the income from all sources last calendar year was £15,545. With this a million of suffering women were cared for, in addition to the many wlfo come under the ministrations of the medical missionaries, Americans as well as British.

Were progress more rapid, especially among the high caste ladies, who must be attended in the zanana and harem, •there 'Would mot be women doctors enough. 'Lady Elgin, Lady Bliott, and other governors' wives ihave brought about the 'foundation of the hostels for •native women studying medicine, obstetrics, and mursing. The Hon. Mr. Woodbur.n, an experienced civil servant, declared at ithe 'annual meeting in Calcutta lately that "the rapidly growing and' now enormous attendance at the Dufferin hospitals is the best possible evidence of the -trust of the people in the treatment they receive there."'

As the general education of women in India rises, the number sf female candidates for the higher grades of hospital assistam.ts and a'stetan't surgeons will Increase, however slowly. It Is. six ty years since Dr. Huff induced some of his 'best students to learn to dissect the human body, and now tire Indian Medical -Service has many native •members, while the cities of India are flooded with fully qualified ma'tive practitioners. The same will be true of the women half a century hence.

AGAINST BALL PLAYING.

Patrolmen Ordered to Stop Ball Tossing In Streets and Commons, Superintendent Meagher has issued an order to the patrolman to stop all ball playing in open lots, alleys and streets within the city imits, and from today all boys found playing ball on the street Wiitt be arrested. The order results from the fact that several persons have been struck by throwm balls whtte walking'along-the street and have made complaint. There is also much complaint about bicycle Tid&rs making a Tace track of the sidewalks in the east and south parts of the city. When it Is dark the wheelmen come upon pedestrians without making any noise, and as one cannot see .tihe other In .time 'to get out of the way, mamy collisions have occurred and many have narrowly escaped' serious injury. The superintendent has also ordered the patrolmen to arrest all wttieeimen caugTrt ridto on the sidewalk in any part of the city, and unless the practice is stopped •he says wholesale prosecution will follow. It is said that the women riders monopolize the sidewalks more than •the men, and the polioe have ordered that tihey too be made to obey the order if it is necessary to .place them under arrest amd send them to the station.

Quarreled by the Graveside. Morris R. Harrford was found dead in bed at the Windsor Hotel in Bridgeport, Conn., Monday night. His widow was informed of his death, went there from this city and made all arrangements for the funeral.

Hanford left two Kfe Insurance policies, one for $5,000 and one for $3,500. His pension of $50 a month for injuries received in the war will be paid to Mrs. Hanford, she expects, so long as she remains a widow. iMrs. Hanford and her husband's relatives gathered around Hanford's grave in Lakeview Cemetery. The relatives seemed to think that Hantford's little fortune will revert to them, and they totimated that his death was Strangely sudden.

Mrs. Hanford retorted. The discussion grew so warm that the parties to it hurried from -the .grave before it was closed to seek their lawyers' advice.— New York World.
