The Weekly Telephone. - EDITED BY - Waiter S, Bradfule. published Saturday morning One Year, 7" 5 Cyrils. Office: Over ;'Bee Hive"Store SATUBDAY, DEC, 10th, 1881. In a letter printed in the Telephone last week, from D. O. Spencer, there was a temperance lesson that needed no word painting or rhetoric to enforce its meaning. In every sentence and between the lines was written: "Whisky did it!" Bloomington had few men mors intelligent than Mr. Spencer, and there was no place to be found a kinder or truer friend than he when free from intoxicants. The State contained but few better newspaper correspondents, and not many who were his superior in the use of language. He is now in the State's prison to serve out a term of two years, .Whisky did it! m "If Gen. Grnt and Mr. Blaine chanced to be ia the jungles of India at the same hour, and a roval Bengal tiger were to suddenly spring from its covet and seize Mr. Blaine just below ths back suspender button, would Gen. Grant hurry up and cut the savage brute in two?" Cou rier- J ou rnal . Or if Mr. Watterson and Senator Voorhees should some day happen to be strolling in the same woods and Mr. Watterson would see a hugh animal with our Daniel well secured striking for itsr hole just in front of Mr. Watterson, would Mr. W. rush and stop up the fearful den,ror would' he run and blockade it after Daniel had gone, and hoping it was a lion's den. call around next morning? .. m This is an age of improvement, in fact necessity is yet the mother of invention, which accounts for the finding of at least one use for the onion. A ball-headed judge in Kansas, by rubbing his head once a day with ,a raw onion, brought out hair in lesg thai? two months. A , i 9 m Already two of the "Marriage Benefit" associations have "turned up their toes." Let it be said to the honor of Bloomington that it gave birth DO. such organization, The guiteau lectures would draw-

Small Profits DurDiG the week the guiteau trial has proceeded wilh the usual interest. The time is still being consumed by the defense m proving the assassin insanity. Learned and very smart "expert" physicians have been telling what they don't know, and guiteau has. been correcting them when they accidentally strike the truth, then there is "laughter." How different from three mouths ago, when laughiu was sighing and talking was praying that the sufferer of the cottage by the sea might live; tba't he might find health from the winds that soothed the moans of the rolling deep. No laughing then. Smiles were tears of sympathy for the wife that stood between that brave husband and eternity, fighting the deathangel with words of comfort.. When the martyr asked if his namo would find a place in history, and theanswtr told him yes, the artist that woulu have pictured the triak of his murderer as a crowd of jeerers and jneerers wonld have been cried down by an indignant people. Are Ik-publics ungrateful? As this Telephone said weeks ago the Greek societies of Perdue University had no rights the institution were bound to respect, there being a law prohibiting such organizations in that place. The Court has so decided. Monday's Indianapolis Journal says: "Judge Vinton decides that the authorities of Perdue University may make any regulation they please with reference to Greek or any other societies among the students. There was no reasons ble doubt of this eonclusion.from the first. The attempt of a few students to override the fat -ulty in this behalf was very ill-advised." Ihisxs only an interpretation of the , law before the judicial bar, and applies to every Indiana college. The faculties have decided this years ago. Tho authorities have a right to quash any acts of the societies that they deem improper or not in the interest of the institution. - uM' It is but right to ask our readers to say "removed" instead of that awfully horrid word "murder!" It don't sound go terrible flat, and guiteau says lie 1 ikes i 1 1 etter. ; -aThi; now Speaker of tie House is an Ohio. man. When,, if ever, is this thing going to stop.

"We have been running the. Commercial for along lime because we bad to, it was bread and meat for our children. Now we intend to run it because we don't have to. It will be red-hot, you bet." Mitchel Commercial. Money "makes the hoss go," and there is no telling what an editor with $4,000 won't do. The Telephone is always glad to note the success of the Commercial. It was the first regular exchange we received now near five years ago, and its weekly visit has been looked for ever since.

Says the Indianapolis Times:: "The Republicans in the Indiana delegation stuck to' Orth to the last and fell with their faces, to the front. Indi ana men die but never surrender," If there was a little more of this sticking busiaess the Hoosier State would not be w.'thout a Cabinet officer, for it. is well known that could the Iudiana delegation nave aeeiueu on any one per&on Garfield would have will ingly given him on appointment. IIH K- - Only twelve men wore lynched last, month. The average per month during upring and s immer of tlie present year was about twtnt'. The whole number for the year will bardly fall below 175. i .wa-K-Mr. White has received the Repub lican caucus nomination for Senator from Kentucky. It does not seem, however, as if the Republicans down lberc have anv show io' t'jeir waie ally. It is now stated that students who smoke seldom take honors in college classes. This dosen't hold up weli with the fact that "good bovo" names are alwivs in b scribed on tombstones. Guiteau confesses thai he paid lti;v landlady live dollars oa account and boarded two or three weeks longer on the strength of it Thf;t is axi old trick of a boarding house beat. .... .ali-.-B ' " The Republicans have nomint.t'd Hon. J. W. Keili'er, of Ohio, for Speaker of the House of Representtatives;Hon. Edward McPherson, of Pennsylvania, for Clerk; Colonel Geo. W. Hooker, of Vermont, fur Sergeant -at-Arms; Walter P. Brownlow, of Tennessee, for Doorkeeper, and Captain Harry Sherwood, o! Michigan, for Postmaster of the House. The principal contest was over the Speakership, and General Xeifer was nominated on the sixteenth ballot. Hta nomination is ro garded as an administration victory, i it bdi:s understood that he. was ti e Stalwart csndidat3 and the r.linii.u of tiie Prcsider.-t. The conte&t hs been very spirited, but the result will probably be -satisfactory to ail parties. General Keifer represent the eighth Ohio District, lie ia for ty-fivo years old, was born ne. r Springfield,, reared on a i'u-rrn, edu cated at Autioch College, studied bv-v in Springfield and was admitrod 1 practice there. He enlisted at the beginning of the war was coftunisfiouc '. Major on tlie Third. Ohio Regimen , aud promoted by regular grades . brigadier general. His military re' -ord waslirst-chtss. After tho war. i General Kcifor ivKumed th'a j;racticc of law at Spi ingntdd, and after l:ol (iing sf-veraj pofdu'ons of tru-t an-' honor was elect id to Congress in 1 87G. He litis served two terms in !on gross, this being his third teun. Goisera Keifer is a man of excellent- part , solid rather than brilliant, with alh.e physique nnd popubir uiauners. Al I t-1'iif ) ili Tio lioc- ut Ih?wl iirnni'i elu.B iw Con o-re.es, there is everv re son to believe he will inaiici a goo! speaker.

"with a radiant countenance and the step of a conquerer," pausing a mo ment to kiss a negro child held up to him by its mother. From his boy hood days the eouvietion has grown upon John Brown that slavery was an evil of such gigantic proportions and inhuman tendencies, that anv measure to check or over-throw . 3t must be right. This idea became a part of his very existence, and it is not strange that lutt methods were outside the pale of law. The duty; of j iu. i .. . J I M V I Ml 71 iv II IV1I-M I .

Martin Luther felt this, the pilgrim fathers felt it, and John Brown frit it: but to all of them name a time when i their theoru'-s must give way to decided action and the self complaisant world must be shocked by his open declarationFof revolutionary sentiments, and a bold stand against the powers that be. If anybody 'vcr had a direct ca!;l to do a certain thing John Browu bad. When questioned as io his authority fur freviug the slaves at Harper's Ferry, he boldly replied. ''By the authority of God Almighty." His plans ww short-, sighted, and ihiy resulted disastrously to himsob: and his Utile group of faithful followers, hut- his courage never failed him.
