"The Courier of yesterday, processes
tobe proud that but wo papers-;he Evans
uIle Journal and the Tribune-in Indiana,
shave defeuded' Consul Owen.
The creature of the Courier, perhaps. is
incapable of preceiving what was the pur-
port of our articles on this subject. Cod did
not gift him with brains, in quantity or quail
tp, over-much, and the fellow may have blum
dered, in innocent ignorance, as he does, al
most daily, on every other subject, into the
supposltion that we really did defend the
Consul.
Our readers know this is entirely gra-
tuitous charge-that the full extent OF our
meaning and expressions, was that the Pres
ident ought moi TO be censurcd for the act oil
a Consul. or until all the facts were known.
We have more than once said the Consul
was highly culpable, if guilty of negligence,
as charged Madison Tribune.
And that is precisely the position occupied
by the Evansville Journal. We have never
defended Consul Owen. We only occupied
the position we should have done were it
urged that CARRIER of the Courier should be
turned out Of his office for stealing chickens.
We should have said, il is more than likely
tllut NsHluCt utb citui VIZ 'iiithtbc' uiIu W uC
dill, the public should turn him out Of his office
but inrestigdte the matter first-hedr him
give him The night Of an American citizen,
sey;defence, before you Judge and Disgrace
him. Thus, we have occupied the position,
that if Consul Owen has been guilty of what
has been charged against him. turn him out
o. olfice--but first investigate the matter.
Now, either CARRIER had not the bri s TO
tell the purPort of our articles, or eIss he will
fully perverted their meaning Ii he gave
their meaning rightly. then every other read
er OF The Journal was wanting in brains TO
have formed an entirely different idea OF
the opinions We therein expressed. We can
more readily believe that CARRIER was either
the ignorant man, or that he malIcously per
verted our meaning. five ever sink so low
that the editor OF the Madison Courier may
blush for us. heaven help our poor, pitiiul
degraded condition, and so ele ate us thai
we may occupy CARRIERS position. which only
calls lor the b ush Of honest men.

Death OF Daniel ID. Zones.

The Madison Qa,) Banner, of the 3Oth.
comes 10 Us IN the garb oil ,.nourning it's senior
editor. Daniel ID. Jones. having expired IN
that city on Sunday afternoon. His disease
was congestive fever, of which he was attack
ed on Thursday the 18th all, He dedIin
the iIiieth year oil his age.
The Madison Courier pays the following
beautiiuI and just tribute to the memory OF
MIR. Jones:
Mr. Jones was a native of Wales. and emf
grated to the United States with his father
about 1913. He settled in Baltimore, and
was for time employed, we believe, as a
Custom House clerk. Afterwards, as an ap-
prentice, he entered the office Of the Balti-
more American, where he learned the print
ing business, and in process of time became
an assistant in the editorial conduct Of the pa
per. In 1925 he came to Indiana, with his
father who located and now lives in Jennings
County. Shortly afterwards he went TO
Bardstown, KY, and embarked in the publ
cation of the Bardstown Herald, and then. in
the same town, Of the Presbyterian Herald
In 1871, he came to Madison and with J. w.
Simrall, until 1S43 then with John Lodge
till 1913, and then until his death with w.
w. Grail, published the Republic Banner.
Mr. Jones was, perhaps the Oldest printer
and most experienced editor. aud published
the oldest newspaper, with the exception OF
the Vincennes Sun, now extinct) and the
ablest Of It's politics, in the State. His well
informed and intelligent mind was Thoroughly
indoctrinated in the principles of his party, TO
which he was warmly attached, and especi-
ally with the history of the country for the
last twenty years was he perfectly familiar.
With vigorous and ready pen did he faith
fully do battle i'm the cause in which his heart
was enlisted. And as his political opponents
willIlong remember his power, so will The mem
DRY of his many and sell:denyng services be
gratefully cherished by his political friends
upon whom his loss will most severely fall.
But his greatest worth remains untold
OF the warmest and most generous and even
childliSe nature, those who were daily
brought in personal contact with him must
weep that they shall see him no more. But
when whole community-nay. the people OF I,
great State, whose advancement lac WI
daily laboring TO promote, feel the loss of a
man. 1T is not the time 10 give expression TO pri-
vaie grief Whatever Of evil then that he
did, aud 10 err is human IL, il be forgotten
The good that lee III l. and the good that
every other maa IKE him may, do cannot 90
down 10 the grave.

Cure for nrnnkenness.

The following singular means Of curing ha-
bitual drunkenness, is employed by Russian
physician, DIR. Scrieber, Of Brzese Litewski. 1t
consists in combining drunkard in room, and
furnishing him at discretion with brandy diluted
with two-thirds of water; as much wine, beer,
coffee, he desires, but containing one-third of
brandy; and the feed, the bread, the meat, &C.,
are stepped IN brandy and water. On the fifth
day Of this regimen he has disgust FOR brandy,
and earnestly requests other diet /; but his dis
case must mot be yielded TO, until the poor
wretch no longer desires TO eat or drink. He
is then certainly cured Of his penchant f6r
drunkenness He acquires such disgust for
brandy that he is ready to vomit at the very
sight Of it.
