There was an election up in Ohio

Tuesday and it is evident that the

Democratic party has carried the

State, thdugh by a small majority. It is also quite as evideut that the

Republicans have suffered a defeat at the hands of the Temperance people again again because a year ago in that State this same temperance element scared a large faction from the Republican ranks, then refused to vote with them th emselves, thus electing the Democratic ticket. It has always been a question with the Telephone what the Temperance people have to gain by placing the Democratic party in power, a party that is their avowed enemy, that has always and always

will uphold the whisky element. Last fall fi Republican Legislature of Ohio passed a license law; at times before they have advocated healthy temperance measures, yet for all this because the Republicans are . not pronounced for absolute prohibition this same Temperance element take out their spite by electing their own enemies the the Democratic candidates. It is on the principle of role or ruin; it is the same principle carried out that will make whisky in Ohio as free as the water in the rivers. j The Telephone is for Temper- j ance it is for Prohibition, but it is not in favor of allowing a few ! fanatics to dictate its course then j help bury it in defeat. The Re- j publican party can take no course to j so insure Democratic success as to! advocate Prohibition. The facts show it. In 1680 Kansas gave a Republican majority of 50,000. In 188?, when prohibition was made the issue, the Democrats carried that State by 10,000 majority. In Iowa the result is the same. In 1880, without prohibition, that State gave a Republican majority of near 60,000. Last Tuesday, with prohibition the issue, the Democrats cut that vote down to 10,000 -majority. In Ohio the Republican majority is not less than 25,000. Then there can bebut one conclusion: If the declaring for prohibition by the Republicans puts in power the Democratic party prohibition's worst enemy, then some other course must be persued. The interest of the Temperance cause demands it; the success of the Republican party demands it. Some of our colored friends have organized a Masonic lodge in this city, there being present quite a number of the brcthern from abroad to give them a, start, among wJb.om were Henry White and Francis Jones of Greencastle and H. A. Roganof Indianapolis. George Elliott was elected Grand Marshal- The lodge lias twelve charter members and is to be known as "Mount Olive lodge," meeting the first Tuesday of each month.

Whatevei: else may stand in the

way, it is a pleasure to know that

the county Commissioners arc going to do their duty towards securing that 10,000 that Lawson E. McKin-

uey borrowed (?) from the tax-payers

of Monroe County. What may become of McKiuuey is not a matter in charsce of the Commissioners

more than any one else. The last

grand" jury fully investigated the matter but what they did has not yet been made public, but they doubtless found a bill against him. If so, for one. the Telephone: believes that

7 justice should be mete1 out to him

what ever may be the result. It lsu

not a fact generally known that unless the indictment was prepared at the first part of the meeting of the last grand jury that the- statute of limitation has expired so, far as a

criminal prosecution against him is

concerned that is if he should swear the default occurred1 in his

first term. For Mclvinney to do this

however, would throw the burden upon his first bond, if his statement would go in evidence. This has

been questioned, for his book ac

counts have been sworn as correct

throughout, and for him to make a statement other wise at this period

would only be a contridiction; to be

taken for what it is worth. It is al

ways with a feeling of regret that the people advocate the payment of the bond from bondsmen that are the victims of misplaced confidence, but when it comes to asking for

justice to one who has stolen from

the people thousands of dollars the Telephone for one has no hesitation.

To let such a notorious thief go free unsensured and unpunished would

be a crime itself of which every tax

payer is in part a guilty party.

It has been truly said the "wages

of sin is, death." There never was a

more apt illustration of this than a recent occurrence at Shelby viBe, this State, where to young girls, in their teens, were burned to death in

a "bango" of damnation and sin, A

year before they were pure and innocent, but they were the victims of their own folly and traveling fast

down the broad road of ruin they met the sad fate of being burned to death to hide the shame of others. The ultimult result of most evils

teach their own lessons. This is one of them.

The City Council has decided to erect a city building at once, a description of Avhich will be found in our local columns. The measure is a wise one and almost the only action that could be taken. Not to build now would only be postponement till next winter, as a building was a necessity to keep th fire engine in order during the winter. A long as publie moneys go for general improvement tax-payers can not complain.

The good people tried to pray the Temperance amendments through in Ohio, and while they were doing that, bold, bad voters elected a Democratic Legislature. The devil has attended so many elections that nothing short of hard work will get ahead of him.

The Temperance people of this country will never be satisfied until they get the Democratic party into power. And in the name of all that is holy, what did the Democratic party ever do for them?

Last Monday the Commissioners of Monroe county voted $50,000 to the State University.. In doing so they have only done their duty, and the investment is- wise and judicious. It insures the- erection in our county of the leading educational institution of the State; further than this, it forever does away with the cry that our citizens- have never done anything toward keeping the University among in.. In proportion to its wealth $50,000 is equal to a million doifars from Marion coumty Indianapolis; in fact 50,000 is a donation to the educational interests of.' Indiana that has not been equaled by any

past action in the history of Indiana.

To the hard-run tax-payeir it ma'

seem like a burden; but wliien once i

paid a monument will stand; ra its place that dollars and cents- can not estimate in value: This $50000 in

money will in addition with other

appropriations expected, boild a University that . will have no surperior in the- west, and that University is to be- located in our midst The Commissioners have had the courage to take- this advanced step in the interests of our citizens; now let the people indorse it by their hearty approval. These

many dollars will be like crumbs of

At a meeting heM Wednesday afternoon, the following was adopted

which' explain itself: By the death of Lida C. Ribble, great sorrow is brought upost us; . and we hereby wish to express: our ; sympathy for the bereaved family and , friends. Bound together, as we j were, for on short vear, by the:

closest tiies, we learned to know and love her.. But she was loved not I

alone be in but by the many friends she made while in Bloomington. When she left us we hoped it would be brat for a short time, and that she would return to take up a new course -of studies, and be among us as one of-'the leading members of Kappa Alpha Theta. But the hand

of death has been placed upon her.; j

and she will we with us no more. Mav God lie with her fnen ds in

their affliction. Heta Chapter of Kappa Alphas Theta. Indiana University The astounding discovery was made Tuesday forenoon that counterfeit postal aotes were in circula-. tion at Indianapolis and at once the banks posted notices of warning and refused to reeaive any notes, spurious or genuine; over their counters.. The discovery was made at the postoffice after four or five had been redeemed. In each instance the notes

called for $4.10 and purported to have been issued from the office at Youngstown, Ohio, E. L. Mills, postmaster. The postmaster at that

point is Gcoroa R. Williams. The

of Monroe county in donating $50,

000 to rebuild the State University is worthy of all praise, and now, having a large investment in that Institution, the citizens of that county will give it a more liberal patronage in the way of students. The greater their financial interest in it, the more they will appreciate it. It is always so. Those tilings that come cheaply are valued accordingly. Terre Haute Express: The- board of Trustees of the Indiana University have been in session at Indianapolis to determine upon a place and plans for the new college buildings to replace those destroyed

by fire, The board has voted in

favor ot the location offered by Mr. Dunn, twenty acres, about half a mile from the ol4 site. The plans for new buildings are drawn for a cost of 50,000 voted by Monroe county. It was reported that such

books as we indispcasible had

been purchased for the library. The trustees are hopeful of replacing the entire library and securing a new cabinet and museum.

Joe Perry, C Johnson and W. B. Harris- There may be more of them afloat, and the public are warned to be on the look-out. From the description given the counterfeiter seems to have-gotten in his work in this city and. then skipped, and it. is likely that he is trying the game at other points. Under the law the note can not a drawn for any sum in excess of five dollars, and it will be noticed that the scoundrel; has gone close t& the margin in each ease.

How soon we are forgotten. Yesterday morning Avas the second anniversary of Garfield's death, and not a morning paper in Indianapolis alluded to it. The News, mentioned the fact in the afternoon; next day one of the morning dailies contained a like mention. Ten years from now very few people will be able to give anything like a current account of the tragedy of his taking off Bloomington Telephone. We think you avc mistaken. Less note may be taken now of the great National tragedy, while it is' so fresh in the minds of everybody, than in after years. Just at this time certain newspapers and politicians are keeping the name of the martyr President firesh in the minds of the people by their dastardly assaults upon the memory. When they get through and have run their race of defanianation, it will be time to weave wreaths of laurel to place upon the shaft erected to his memory in the hearts of all the people of the

Nation. Oun friend Ad. Arnold, of the Columbus Democrat, has just fought a libel suit to the bitter end and come out victorious. Libel suits against newspapers are becoming a joke.

The frost has acted very strangely this season In some instances.. For example, a Monday in Southern

Wisconsin there was a frost that did

considerable damage to eorn,in many cases destroying entire fields. In others a field on one side of a highway would be ruined, anti on the other side the damage would be very slight, if any. In still others it would ent a narrow swath diagonally aeross a field, where the stalks were chilled to the roots, while the remainder of the field would be as fresh- as might be. Considerable loss has resulted, as a whole, but there is a very fair erop of corn in the great belt. One would have thought, to hear the outcry a few weeks ago, that there would not be a bushel. Pick it up carefully, Hide it with zest; Weep o'er it prayerfully, Give it a rest. Tell not its history, Past is the day; Shroud it in mystery, It gives you away. Bury it carefully Quickly at that; Mourn it'uot tearfully Your summer straw hat.

Samuel Wallingford has just shipped south 250 mules, bought in different parts of this State. They were on an average as good lot as Mr. Wallingford has collected.
