TELEPHONE. ' among the callers. It must indeed
be a curiouu mind that would long to see a wretch, who after living with the family for twelve years, would go to the house when none but the daughter was at home and murder her in cold blood, using a knife, with which he made twenty-seven distinct gashes. There is something wrong somewhere; and it is this kind of gush that is taking from murder its horrors and urges uprincipled men to be murderers. The character of a large amount of literature published and circulated of the sensational kind is also doing its full' share in
f this direction.
The past five years has noted more improvement in Monroe coun
ty than the twenty years proceed
ing.
A week, from next Tuesday the people will vote in several eastern States. likely the Republicans will not feel any worse than they did after the Ohio election; we fear not much better. In different parts of the State we notice Morman elders are about trying to establish their nefarious eusftomes. A good time to stop such business is right at the start; and there is nothing that will go farther at it than a coat of tar and feathers well applied. At their last meeting of Synod, the United 1 resbyterians resolved that they were in favor ' of Prohibition or nothing." If you can't be just a moderate drinker,' be a brawling drunkard. Without claiming to be a prophet, we predict hat less than two years will prove the falasy of the position. How. would it do to have an intcrCounty Agricultural fair say Monroe, Lawrence and Greene counties unite. There is nothing that so adds to the experience of farmers as rood agricultural shows; and since it is impossible for a single county to make this a success, by two or more uniting an exhibition well worth seeing would be the result.
The action of our County Commissioners in voting Fifty Thousand dollars to the building of a new University has been most highly commended in every portion of the State; and wo are glad to know will go far toward hushing up that false old complain that Monroe county has done nothing to deserve the location of such an institution. As the Telephone has before stated, it is a gift that has never before been equaled by the people of Indiana. As citizens, that glyy in the suecsses and achievements of Monroe County, we are proud of it. Amejrioaxs are given to a kind of sentimental curiosity that is doing a deal to make criminals. A stronger illustration of this is not, needed than in the case of Neeling, now in the LaFayettc jail for confessing to have murdered an innocent farmer's ughter, where citizens are paying five cents to get a peep at this man; and the same account says ladies are
From an item by our University editor it will be noticed that Mr Young, the Colored student attending the 'University, has been elected as associate orator at the dedication of one of the Society halls, tlw exercises to be held in the chapel. This is an important item in the
history of the University, being as
it is,he first Colored student that
ever appeared on its rostrum. It is an event that not only recalls the
flight of. time, but shows conclusively that the race prejudice is fast
passing away A Uolored man as
a representative or the .Societies
tventy years ago would have been a
Aonder; but to-day he is chosen
as a matter-of-fact. 'I hL kind actions
by fellow students speaks of itself. It shows a grand principle.
When a,paper as long estabilshcd

with principles too pure for its sur roundings. Born on the 9th day of January, A. D., 1883, under extremely unfavorable circumstances and with meager encouragement. Lived to occupy a field which demamded attention; its principles were pure; its credits good; its pocket book full, its support unsatisfactory and its deaths honorable. Died the l!th day of October, A. D., 3 SS3, from, a mortal wound inflicted by base ingratitude, also afflicted "by limited support, .small profits, impatient proprietors and the disinterestedness of the high magnates of the Republican party toward its success. Slowly and tenderly we lower its remains to its last resting place, and sincerely we mourn the sad taking off of one so good, honest and true, whose hands were never soiled by gain dishonorably secured and whose credit and character remain pure and unsullied from the tongue of the base slanderer."

mil i. jliiow, too, uai nououy regrets more than Republicans that the eiv-il-rjghts act has been pronounced unconstitutional. It is by no means certain that any harm will result
' from the decision. Hut, in event of
colored men Buffering unjustly, it is morally certain that the Republican party will be first to come to their aid. As the matter now stands, it is the plain duty of colored citizens to show that they deserve every right enjoyed by white men. They still stand as equals before the law. If prejudice and violence rob them of their poetical or civil-rights a remedy will be found, and the Republican party will be active in their aid,, and it is the ly party to which they can j
look.

its ! court decis on is the tap of the drum
that is to call tege her the Republican party to complete that mission for which it was organized. Let not the Colored man be discouraged; the party that saw him out of bondage and placed the ballot in hisbaud, will give him protection. The I itdiaunpidtti Sentinel, theDemocratic organ of Indiana, says: "'f he Temperance men from the Republicans, and there wouldn't be enough voters left to form a Greenback party." Where is that man w ho mud tJuat the Republican party wasn't ai;y more for Temperance than the Democratic? Whore is the man who. rejoices in the Prohibition (?) victory in Ohio where the entire Democratic ticket was elected?
I'hk Indianapolis .Journal, in speaking of tjie recent repeal of the Civil Rights bill, says truthfully: In the excitement and indignation of some on account of the decision of the Supreme Court relative to the civil rights act, it has been wildly charged that the act was passed originally by the Republican party as a means to catch the votes of the colored rage, and that it is repealed now because the need is no longer felt. The inconsistency of such a charge will be apparent to all who think twice,- At the time the act was passed, the Republican party had little need of the colored vote, while at this time it is a necessary factor in political estimates. The intelligent colored men of this country know only too well that the only

November nth Monday a week -Richard A. Fulk will give up the Audilo'rs office to his predecessor, Capt. Alexander. During the four years that Mr, Fulk has had charge of this office he has administered its affairs with credit to the county, and the Telephone believes it expresses the sentiment of our citizens regardless of party when it says he has made an excellent county Auditor. Mr. Fulk will likely go into the law again in the near future.
