How !o*» the Express and Gaxette stand on the city liquor license question? Do you favor maintaining the present high saloon license, or do you favor reducing tho license? Does the Express and Gazette daro give an unequivocal answer, and without evasion? We pause for reply.
THE state senate was the victim of a practical joke yesterday. It was informed by a bogus teleuram that General Palmer bad been elected senator. The hilarity thereat la reported boundless and action was had in conformity with the good uows. Later, when the fact dawned on the jolly crowd that they had been sold out, a reconsideration ot the action had was taken. ^1 TTTE row between the commissioners Hid the circuit court judge over the running of the elevator at the court house, has become vary Urosoimj. It is a pity that such a small matter should kindle such aflame among great minds. The
NEWS suggests a board of arbitration, or that the legislature enact a law placing the running of the elevator Jo the hands of the state officer*.
OVTSIN* of laws which actually appro* priated money, one of the best acts of congress was the law squeeaUig the life out of the Louisiana lottery by shutting the bloodsucking vampire out of the mails. Great credit is due the postmaster general whoa© indefatigable energies and untiring work secured the enactment of tho legal guillotine by which the many headed monster was decapitated.
Tim people of Muncie are tired of the wide open saloon, and an ordinance has been introduced in council to regulate the business. It provide# ft penalty lot bting in a saloon between the hours of 11 j. m. and 5 a. m» and at any time on 8unday or on legal holidays. It also requires that all curtains, screens, colored or painted glass doors i"h*ll be removed during the hoaraof »lng.

High license, law and order, the improvement of Main street, economical city government.

Jf not to-day, then to-morrow. THE famous (iuttenbuig bible was bought by J. W. Ellsworth, Chicago, for $7,400. Now if he will only profit by becoming acquainted with its con tec is. (LOVKIMOU IIOVKY vetoed both the legislative and congressional apportionment bills yesterday, assigning among other reasons for the veto, that they were unconstitutional. Subsequently, however, both hills were passed over the executive projectile. Of couree.
IT is quite probable that N. T. De t»auw, of Now Albany, will be appointed United States treasurer in place of Houston, as Mr. Lemcko will probably decline it, Mr. Do Pauw's appointment would give eminent satisfaction to Indianians, as would also thatof Mr. Leracke.
tbe farther fact that the state tax levy is increased from twelve to eighteen cents on the $100. We say, notwithstanding these facts, the lower boose of tbe legislature increased the pay of its doorkeepers from $4 to $5 a day, which has the retroactive feature. That is, the increase dates back to the beginning of tbe session. If this is reform and economy, Tn« NEWS does not know what extravagance is. It is simply an out-age on the tax-payers and no honest excuse can be offered for it. It is a mere grab from an already bankrupt treasury.
IJIMAKAPOMS is the happiest city the country, and it has cause to be. Tbe now ity charter has released it from the death grip of a band of looters. On the other band, Terre Haute home rule has been abolished by 8enator Grimes and a
set
of local stranglers and we are to be governed by the state officers at the capital.- But the public voice will not be throttled long. It is for war, and the last ditch fight will be made to tbiow ofT the rule of the stranglers »nd rippers, and the people will win. There is a higher court than the legislature, including Senator Grimes and the local stranglers to which law and order and the home rule people will appeal with confidence in the result. .—
A SHAMEFUL PROPOSITION. The state Benate passed an appropriation of $100,000 fur tbe expense ot an exhibit of the state at the World's Fair, but this was reduced to $45,000 by house, and tbe bill has been hung up in conference. The Terre Haute Gaz-tte declares that $50,000 should be the limit of such an appropriation. An appro priation of that amount will be a shame and a disgrace to a great state like Indiana. The very least sum should £100,000. No less sum wil) enable the state to make a creditable exhibitincluding the cost of a building. Otht states have appropriated a sum ranging from $100,000 to $500,000, and in the face of this an appropriation of the pauper Bum of $50,000 will make Indiana appear small and contemptible. It is better that no pretense of an exhibit be made rather than it should prove a failure as it will under a $50,000 appropriation. Indiana should be made to stand along side of Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin, and other great states, at the fair. But it must take a back seat if only $50,000 is to be expended for tho purpose. Hoosiers attending the fair will be so shamefaced at a comparison with the exhibit of Indiana with that of the states named, that they will take greater pride in concealing their identity as citizens of Indiana, than in making it public. Indiana cannot afford to be thus niggardly with itself. The prime object of a state exhibit is to show and demonstrate its growth, development, products, both natural and artificial, its soil and our possibilities in all respect* the inducements it offers to citizenship, land culture, its mining and manufacturing interests and the long line of its industries of every character its inducements to capital to seek investment within our borders its institutions of every character for the betterment of its 200,000 inhabitants. These and many other matters are to be brought to the attention of the world, and should be done in such a substantial manner as will attract and command the favorable attention of civilization. It is difficult to understand from what stand point tho Gazette views these matters when it declares that $50,000 should be the limit. It is hoped that such narrow minds and sordid views will not prevail. for tho honor and good of the state forbid iL The GazeUo'u proposition should mantle it with shame, if it inindeod, has any sense of shame.

Schiedam, a suburb of New York, boasts of being a very lively town, and of possessing a ccmctery containing some of tbe deadest men in these parts, if seniority of decease counts for any thing- I have some relatives in Schiedam two maiden uunts, not quite so old as tho cemetery, but very interesting relics for all that They promised to make a pleasant little party for us if vie «vould come up for an evening.
We, of course, moanl Maude and myself. We took a vote on the invitation and decided not to attend tho festivities in a body 11 was thought more advisable to send a small sub-committee, consisting of myself, to represent our household. As my relatives had intimated that they would have some of the girls at the house, and playgames, I did not object to being a sub-committee. 1 don't propose to dwell on this party. Tho •'girls'"'were girls when my aunU were, and they haven't been since, which is a great many years, now. Wo didn't play Copenhagen or post-offlco— we amused ourselves more Intellectually, 1 escorted one of the girls to ber home far, far away on the other side of the grave-yard. It was three miles if we went around the cemetery and only a mile and a half if we went through but my companion was a timid young thing and insisted on the long roadBut after I had seen her to her venerable doorstep I needed something to cheer me up, so 1 took the short cut.
I speak of the nature of my entertainment on that evening in order to convince the reader that my experience in the Tombs—I should say among the tombs—w as not tho creation of qincj unbalanced by dissipation. Not a man there waa calmer tban |. As a proof of this 1 mention the fact that I whistled a popular song, entitled "Willie Reilly's White Shirt," as I climbed the grave-yard fence. I had caught the tune in New York, and had long waited an opportunity to whistle it in a solitude that would conceal my degradation. For it was such a bad
ggt

FIEI.DING AJ.ONK WITH THE BONO. tune so shamelessly suggestive of every other bad tune so offensive to a sensitive car in short such a thoroughly typical popular song that I had felt guilty when I carried the remembrance of it home with me. And yet I couldn't shake it off. It had clung to me for days my mouth had been perpetually tn a pucker with it, and every night the silent whistle in my brain had lulled me to sleep with "Willie Reilly's White Shirt." "Young man." said a voice at my elbow, "where did you get that tune?" 1 turned hastily with a cold feeling In my spine, and saw a tall, thin man leaning over his own grave-stone. By the dim moonlight I discerned that it had been erected to the memory of .Edgar Smith in 1865. "1 beg your pardon," said I. "If 1 had any idea it would disturb you—" "Oh! never mind," replied the ghost. "I suppose you intended to bo coropli mentary."
Complimentary?" "Yes in life 1 was repntcd to havo written that tune, ft was a popular war melody and went by tho name of "Johnny Griffin's Retreat.' I had supposed that it was forgotten." "You must be mistaken," I replied •this is, •Willie Reilly's White Shirt,' and was perpetrated by C. A. Jenkins. Perhaps 1 didn't whistle it correctly." "Oh! yes you did, near enough," said tho ghost. "It went this way," and ho finished tho air from the point where he had interrupted me. "That's it," I admitted, "and I consider ycrnr claim established. But may I ask—I don't want to be offensive, you know—may 1 inquire what was done about it when you arrived—that is, did they mn'.eit very hot for you on account of this ving?" "No my claim to its authorship was not allowed, and I escaped. Between you and mc, I didn't compose it I just bashed it up in a hurry ont of one or two old things." "Well, wish you'd let it rest, that all," sakl I, somewhat harshly. "Per* baps. Jf vent bad, it might not have arisen to raj day." "I wish I had,"* he groanea "it haunts me even now. Oh, remorse, remortar*
Be ran his fingers wildly through his hair and then beat his head upon the grave-stooc. "Is there .y thing' I can do for you?** 1 asked, sympathising with hia distress, th ?h I couldn't help thinking that It ».•** comoro than be deserved. "Xo, m» take it away, that's aJt"
I took it nway. Even after this tear fttl warning 1 could»*V keep it oat of my bead, and before I bad gone twenty paces from tbe spot I waa whistling if again. "Star, tny frtead." wto *ok* on my right, ""did that fellow Smith tail yt»

Horse.* My young friend, if you want to go into tbe archeology of that song, just ascribe its authorship to LeviC. Whitcomb, originally of Connecticut." "When were you buried, Whitcomb?" inquired a specter whom I perceived looking down at us from a sparsely populated district up near the brow of the bill. The yoiee had a slightly foreign accent Jshieh suggested sunny Italy "Seventeen eighty-one, answered Whitcomb, shortly. "Fifty years before that date," said the voice, "1 was assassinated by a mob because I played that tuue on a hand organ which I "did not know contained any thing calculated to offend. Believo me. sir 1 am the Count Heppo Spermaceti." "Go back to your cage, old whaleoil," said Whitcomb, sternly "you are trying to ruin my reputation." "And furthermore," eoutinued Count Beppo, "there is a lady of ray country in the third walk to the left who was a member of an operatic chorus and died in 172Q. She remembers that song in her youth in her youth, mind youl"
I looked at Whitcomb and he melted pw$y into thin mist, taking his pretensions with him. "1 am gratified to have the Count Beppo Spermaceti substantiate my claim."
The words were spoken in Dutch of a somewhat antique pattern, but, on the whole, good eqough Dutch for a ghost The speaker stood looking at me over tho gravestone of Peter Yollis, who died in 1639. Of course it was not tho original gravestone it was a comparatively new one erected by the later Yollises. But it was tho samo old Peter there was no mistaking his antiquity. "The late fttynheer Yollis," said I, respectfully, "will pardon mo for presuming while still living (and on a small salary at that) to address the distinguished dead, but if the lady to whom the Count Beppo refers heard the song In her youth it must have been passed in Italy, or considering her profession perhaps 1 should say Latium." "Exactly, my friend," said Yollis, interrupting "I composed tho song while there, before coming to this country. It was republished here, and 1 dedicated it to Hendrick Oodson. Of course I didn't care ft—well, we will say a dike, which means much the samo thing. Of course I didn't care a dike for Hen-

drick, but I thought his name would help sell the song, you understand." "Yes," I admitted, "the same thing1 is done to-day." v, "I was accused, sir—falsely accused of stealing the melody, but It was wholly and entirely original with me." "Strang*,** said I, musing, "that is just what Mr. C. A. Jenkins says." 1 climbed the graveyard wall in a meditative mood. Something in my experience with the departed had cured me of that soogr, and when In New York the next morning-1 heard a man shout in my ear: "All the latest songs of the day—'Willie Reilly's White Shirt,'" etc., was able to restrain my desire for a-eopy.
