The dramatic entertainment given by the colored folks two nights last week was a remarkable occurrence. It was not remarkable that there was any unusual interest in the play, or in the manner in which it was produced, but it was perhaps the first drama ever given in Indiana by local colored talent. It was the best evidence that in Indiana the old Bourbon race prejudice has almost if not entirely disappeared. In proof of this it may be stated that there have been but few larger audiences in the opera house, and regardless of race the people were promiscuously seated. Thirty years ago the Lovejoys or the Beechers or the Garrisons, with all their enthusiasm for abolition would hardly have prophesied such a gathering as that of Thursdav night. In the southern States the most intelligent gentleman and lady if their skins show African descent when on the trains are only allowed to ride in the smoker, or a car provided for their especial use, but at the regular fare. In the place of amusements they

are given inferior seats or none at

At the house where God is

worshipped He who created all men to he free and equal, the man or woman with African blood must take a back seat or stay at home. Are these southern people better than their northern kinsmen, or will it require another thirty years for them to look upon a scene at their own home like that in our opera house a few nights ago? Instead of treating the colored race as outcasts, and refusing them a christian education and the christian izing influences that accompany it, the people of the north have thrown about this unfortunate people every possible influence that goes to elevate and build up the race. The schools aud the churches have brought about this wonderful revolution and like any other great reform, Christian education, pure and simple, is the only remedy.

Thkocuh the persistent efforts of ;

Gov. Hovt-y and the Republican members of the legislature, the public is at last learning something about the condition of affairs at the insane asylums. That it has been

V 1 1 a 1 I. 1 1 i JM I

me nucleus auout which uasumsiercu the most corrupt ring eA-er in Indiana, there is no longer auy doubt. It wjb developed by competent testimony that grease that could be bought for 2 cents a pound was sent out to the asylums by John E. Sullivan and paid for at tho rate of the best creamery butter. For the sin

gle item of potatoes in the last year ! $12,000 was expended, and all re- j

ported as used in feeding 1,300 people. Other facts equally as startling are produced. Yet the Democratic leaders of the fttate, knowing that this corruption existed, have ro only allowed it to go on undisturbed, but rather encouraged it. la 'the two campaigns Just passed they denounced Republicans fur attempting to ex

pose this rascality, and now thousands of dollars have been stolen from the State, simply that the Democratic party might escape the scan dal for which it is atone responsible. But there is another side to this infamous outrage of much more importance thau dollars and cents. Few are they who have not some relative or close frteud so unfortunate as to be necessarily an inmate of those institutions. Unable to make their own complaints aud disbelieved if they did, they have for half a dozen years been the victims of not only maggoty butter and cholera hogs,but of most outrageous personal treatment as the te&timony very plainly ahows. People seem only to begin to realize the terrible state of affairs. If we mistake not whan the facts become thoroughly known, a revolution in feeling will follow that will sweep from power the party that permitted rack a rinjj of corruptionist to grow and floirinh under its protection. ! Already buttled: It will not be a mngwump administration,

A numb'Rk of persons went to Greencastlc Friday night to see the celebrated work of Gen. Lew Wallace, '"Ben Hur,'1 produced on the stage. It wa,stnfe of a spectacular performance than a drama, as generally supposed. A lady reader of special fitness for the part, gave descriptions from the book, when the scenes are shifted and before the eye is a tableau representing the times and circumstances so vividly pictured by the author, presenting a magnificient sight. The chariot race, so vividly described by Gen. Wallace, seems like a reality upon thestr.p. The Arabian steeds come plunging around the curve in the seventh round, and the Jews salute the victor Ben Hur from their seats in the theatre, all pictured so artfully as to almost deceive the eye.

House bill No. 14, which reduces the rate of interest on the school

! fund from h percent, to 6 per cent.,

has passed. It had evidentlv been well considered previously, f jv little disposition to dobaie its provisions was shown. It passed on a vote of 30 to 3, and will now go to th:1 Governor for the last requirement necessary to make it a law. Ii: is thought tbi will save counties over the State many thousand dollars annually, as much of the school fund lies idle under the present law and 8 per cent interest on it must be paid into lite State Treasury from ine tax revenues.

W. II. fl. Miller, the new attorney general, is a typical Indiana lawyer of high standing. He has been a member of Gen. Harrison's firm in Indianapolis for about ten years, having left a large practice at Fori Wayne, Ind., to join it. Ho is a man on whom t he president has beon accustomed to rely. Mr. Miller has never held a prominent public office, and will enter upon an entirely new experience in Washington, but tie is a worker and will soon become masierof the business before him. Though he is as little kuown outside of his Stale, perhaps, as any of the president's advisers, he will exert a strong, if quiet, and conservative influence. Mr. Miller is rather tinder the medium highi. of average build and about fifty year. of age. lie is in the full vigor of bis mental powers. He is a western man by birth and education and American in every fiber. Tnoujrh he is named after the first President Harrison, the grandfather of his chief, it i$ nowhere stated that there is auy family connection between them. Indianapolis yew: "The deeper the insane hospital management is probed the fouler it appears. A total disregard for law, an entire assumption in treatment as if the institution was the private propeny of trustee$,a gros misuse of the Slate's money to aid a scoundrel in his private business, cruelty we know there has been; rotten food which was bought at extortionate prices all this is fixed beyond dispute. Are we to have such things remedied? Do partisans think the people of Indiana are going to submit to such a Ti e disgrace ad monstrous wrong as this? Do they suppose that the system which has engendered these things in the past aud will continue

to engender them, is going to be allowed to stand? The madness of partisanism, the abuse of the spoils

system, is going to be remecied. cause. General Harrison said that

Indiana isgomg to hare her chant- after he had listened to his talk for

able system divorced from politics

and have capable and honest nim at the head ol it."

All were soon affected with the disease and were killed, and the earcauses placed in a huge pile and set on fire. The smell of the burning meat attracted dogs from the entiie neighborhood, aad they feasted on the carcasses all night. Nearly ali the dogs in the township are now showing unmistakable signs of hydrophobia and are being killed. Much of the stock of the farmers in the vicinity has been bitten.

The house bill amending the law concerning the removal of qounty seats passed the senate on the Txh. It prov ides that when 0 0 J per cent of leil voters petition the county commissioners to re-locate the county seat it shall be done. Such county seats cannot be removed to any point within four miles of the county lines. The bill does not apply to county seats with court-houses valued at more than $5,000. The object is for the removal of the courthouse from Leavenworth to iinghsh, in Crawford county. 0.xe thing may be put down as certain, President Harrison will not be the hypocritical civil service reformer h is predecessor has bee n Shortly before the election a "distinguished reformer" paid tho General a visit and said that he had come to argue with him that in the

awhile he finally interrupted him and said, "My friend can you name

tome a single one of Mr. Cleveland s appointees to office in this State

whom l could attora to Keep in oilice, if 1 should be so fortunate as to be elected?" Said the civil service reformer, scratching his head, "Well General, I was not expecting to be asked such a question as that, and just upon the spur of the moment I am not prepared to give you a name.M And thereupon General Harrison remarked to him, "Very well, when you can name one we will resume conversation."
