Ta-ta, John M. McGee ! Good-bye, Brother Feltus !

Bye-bye, Deacon McGinnis !

The Government at Washington still lives. Gxx. Bkxjamfx Hareisox, president of the United. States, if you please! Yesterday it was His Excellency, President Grover Cleveland; to-day it is ''Dennis."

Gekvink civil service reform will put marny Democrats in search of a job in the next six weeks. Brother Feltus should be thankful for small favors and devote his attention 1.0 the Courier in the future.

Benjamin Harrison will be sixty years old when be is re-elected to the presidency. He will be 57 years old the 20th of August next Next Saturday is the last day for the passage of bills by the legislature. Gov. Hovey will not give that crowd an opportunity to get together in extra session. If the Telephone were writing President Harrison's inaugural the closing paragraph would indicate that Democratic office holders might retire without further notice.

Not as a matter of news, but by way of comment, it may be stated that the Democratic party in the legislature has voted against every bill that looked toward temperance legislation. Both houses of Congress held sessions Sunday afternoon, this being'the first time since the war that business was transacted on the Sabbath. Almost auythiug was excusable to assist the Democratic party out of power. Several notices have been handed the Telephone complimentary to vaiious person as candidates for the post office. All the persons who are mentioned are qualified for the position, but unfortunately all can not get it? The applicants have the good wisheb of this paper, and on jthis account it will not advocate much less disparage the claims of any one. Such a course would only cause hard feelings and could do no possible good. The B loortitield JVetca savs "the editor of the Telephone wants an office and wants it bad, for even now he is talking mugwumpish." The Telephone is not talking "mugwumpish," but does not hesitate to express an honest opinion freely for the reason that the editor does not want an office. If so, it would be policy to do just as the News is doing, tagging to the coat-tail of a lot of politicians with the hope of getting their influence. The power of the "solid south" is

at an end. Evidently the Republican party is entering npon a lease of life that will last as long as the party deserves the confidence of the people. With the four new stars added to the constellation and, soon others to follow the future of the Republican party can be measured by another quarter of a century of honest rule. South Dakota is to have two representatives in congress, North Dakota one,Montaua one and W ashington one; and each will have two United States Senators.

quiring De nocrat, that the Republicans intend bearing this expense and gladly, too. If the Democrats think that Mr. Carson will be allowed to take care of himself as best he can, they will find that the Republicans of Monroe county are "not built that way." It is generally believed that the following gentlemen will compose the cabinet of President Harrison: Blaine, Secretary of State. Windom, Secretary of the Treas

ury. Noble, Secretary of the Interior. Wanamaker, Postmaster-General. Miller (Indiana), Attorney-Gener

al. Proctor, Secretary of War. Rusk, Secretary of Agriculture Tracy, Secretary of the Navy. W, II. Miller, of Indiana, is Gen. Harrison's law partner and confidential friend. Considering all the circumstances a better selection from this State could not have been made. In the way of a "joak" the petition sent to the legislature from the Democratic part of the Bloomington bar, was very good- It said a new

judicial circuit was imperative because, as matters now stand, the

term's work could not be completed by the Judge. The facts were that the work of the present term had been completed Tuesday at noon, whereas the time was not out until Saturday evening, and this notwithstanding the week used in the trial of the white cap case an unusual occurrence. The work is general! finished in three weeks, and the records show it. As a political job this new circuit business exceeds them all.

Lon D. Rogers went to Indianapolis yesterday to attend to some private business. Soft and Stiff Hats in extraordinary varieties Eaulk Clothing House.

The Telephone has it from good authority that Senator Duncan is opposed to the outrage of forming a judical circuit of Monroe and Brown counties. So will end one of the slickest little jobs that has come before the present legislature. The bill was uncalled for and should never have been introduced. In defeating such a scheme, Senator Duncan will sare the tax-payers just $3,000 each year fot six years; or in all $18,000. No small amount to expend to "feather tbe nest" of some aspiring Democrats, as the Uroirn coiii'tif Democrat declares was the only purpose of the bill.

The kcj-note of the temperance issue was struck by Kev. W. R. Halstead, Sunday night, when he said that if children were taughf in their school days the evils of intoxicating liquors on the human system, it would go far towauls bupprossing the traffic. It is an old idea, but a fast. Teach a child the harm that results from anv evil, and it creates j. orejuuice. By teaching is not meant

telling the little one it is wron, and

The Republicans of Bloomington rang in the new president by keeping the court house bell going from 12 to 1 o'clock, while Republicans went from place to place congratulating each other. As a parting shot it maybe added that Monroe county contributed its full share to brine;

about that glorious result Prot. James F. May, one of the oldest teachers in Indiana, died on the 27th at Kossuth, Ind., of pneumonia, aged 84 years. Thirteen years fifteen days and live hours of his life had been actually spent in the school room :y the over W years he was a teacher.

He is left with quite a family of small children, Be it said to the great credit of the good ladies of Harrodsburg, that they Mere untiring in their efforts to minister to Mrs. Royer in her sickness.

The Courier, referring to the statement of the Telephone, that the "Republicans propose to stand by Mr. Carson to the last man with money if necessary' asks "how with money?" In a legitimate way, sir! His indictment was only a matter of spite, and tbe C mirier knows it. It also krows that for him to go to Indianapolis to prove this matter is only persecution, as it requires some money,and Mr. Carson is a poor man. It is no secret to inform Mr. Courier or any other in

only one way to prohibit this evil,

and that is to stop the demand for it. If there are twice as many saloons in Bloomington as twenty years ago, it is because there are just twice as many boys, now men, who want something to drink.

The name of this line has become familiar in every part of the country. Since its establishment thousands of people have been carried safely and comfortably, and its record is written in the experience of travelers representing every State m the Union. The "Bee-line" is a link in the great Vanderbuilt system of railroads which reach every important citv in the East and West, and is t ie only line with a depot in the city of New York It is the route of the famous New York "Limited," the fastest train in the world. No other line in America can oiler the facilities and advantages to the business man for travel equal to that of fered by the popular "Bee-line.1' Connecting as it does with the New York Central road, it lauds the business man in the heart of New York city, thus saving him the annoyance of a ferry transfer and many hours' time, which is quite valuable to the average man ol today, as utime is money," The rates of fare are as low as via inferior lines, and its train appointments surpassed by none.
