yorable change occurs Immediately. No pre-

appearance. Physicians have arrived from sew
eral of the surrounding towns, and are render

fecting is still progressing. During last week
six cholera deaths occurred in Evansville. Two
new cases were reported to-day but no deaths.

FREE STREET CHURCH.

The pastor being absent yesterday morning
the pulpit was supplied by the Rev. DIR. Shailer
of the First Baptist church, who chose for his
text Rev. vii, 14-'These are they which came
out of great tribulation, and have washed their
robes and made them white in the blood of the
Lamb What little we should we know Of
heaven were it not for these graphic descrip-
tons that John has given in the book of Reve-
lations. These were not angels, but redeemed
ones that had come up out of great tribulations.
The righteous are subject to tribulations. No
WORD now in use in any language expresses so
much as does tribulation; it signifies in this
phase the various trials that Gods people are
subject TO IN this life, This is part of the ar
rangement that Infinite love has provided and
it is useless for any to try to pass through this
world without tribulation of some kind. Could
we comprehend every trial and affiction and
see them as God sees them, we should feel very
different about them; but if this was SO we
should be apt to lose that conhding faith in our
Father that we now enjoy. Affection often
comes as chastisement. Paul was not sufficient
in himself to control his pride at his great sue
cess not as a chaStisement, but as ne expressed
it. 'that should not be too highly exalted"
No character is truly strong that has not been
tested; we know not the power that is IN us m
til we have had it tried in various ways. Inc
best sensibilities of the soul cannot be SHOWN
without aff1ictIon. The world looks upon the
accomplishing sufferer who has its faith in
Christ. 1t is telling argument that even skep-
tics dare not deny. The day is beautiful, but it is
night that enables us to look beyond the sun.
Tribulations close with the earthly life of the
Christian. Those that are spoken of in the
text are not now in tribulation, as those that

ONE WORD ABOUT PUBLISHING
SHERIEFS SALES.

When the title to the State Prison
grounds was made an object of forced
sale under execution, the principal
reason way nobody was on hand to
make bid for the State was that no.
body had been notified of the sale.
except in 81 far as notification was
made by sticking up bit of legal
writing onone of the door posts OF
the county building. Had due no.
tice besh given, and the thing been
ventilated by the newspapers. the
State would not now be between a
chill and sweat over its title to the
penitentiary. This should prove a
hint as effective as a kick on the
Legislative shin, and act as one of
the needed clinchers in favor of Cas-
sidy's wise and timely bill.

The Slsw Dailn Appn''
LET THE BONDSMEN BE RELIEVED
OF RESPONSIBILITY.

The cheapest as we'll AS the most
graceful way out of the Rhoades
business is for the State to just enter,
by act Of Legislature, a noNe prosequi
in the matter of its suit against the
bondsmen. The so doing would not,
necessarily, set a dangerous rrece
dent; on the contrary, the precedent
would be q good one, inasmuch as it
would convey the dictum that the
State, in order to be entitled to re-
cover damages from the bondsmen of
default;ng officers, must first exer-
else through its agents, a reasonable
degree of surveillance over the acts
Of its fiduciary officers. When a
State takes no steps either to protect
itself or those who are the endorsers
of its financial officers, it pretty effec
tually valves its right to collect any
thing from those endorsers. And
this IS the light in which nineteen
jurors in every twenty would look at
the matter and for this very reason,
If for no other. the State had better
abandon its annoying and probably
fruitless prosecution of Rhoades'
bondsmen. Moreover, when an ex
pert who has been wading through
the Treasurer's and Controllers &C
counts for six weary months, like a
very book wor.l. swears that he is
Just as much in the dark in the end
as he was at the outset as to when
the detalcation occurred, it is simply
nonsense to attempt to fasten the re-
sponsibiiity for the Treasurers short
comings upon any of his bondsmen
either those of the first or those OF
the second term of his office. These
are some of the reasons why Senator
Hobart's bill should pass and we
feel quite sure that the majority in
either branch of the Legislature will
look at the matter just as we do and
as nearly everybody else does.
