Indiana.


Financially regarded Indiana is bad egg.
Both political parties hold erroneous views
on the money question, and the struggle be-
tween them is which can go farthest into
financial heresy. In that struggle the Indi-
ana Republicans will be beaten, for they lack
that great capacity for error, amounting to
genius in wrong-doing, which is a distinguish
ing characteristic of the Democracy. The
Republicans in that State do show indica-
tions Of betterment. A few years ago they were
infationists; they now content themselves
with taking position against further contrac-
tion of the currency. The Indiana Demo-
Gratis are, if one may judge by the u.terances
OF Messrs Landers and Holman, rank infa-
tionists and will be satisfied with nothing less
than great additional issues of greenbacks.
Both are in the wrong, but the Democrats are
entirely wrong. The Republicans, as in the
past, ev;nce capacity for improvement, and is
it safe to say that when the Indiana heresy is
denounced by the Republican national con-
vention, as it will be, it will be heard of no
more in the Republican ranks. The Indiana
men will submit to the sounder reason of the
majority of the party. The anti-resumption
doctrine in the Republican party is local and
is in effect confined to single state. In the
Democratic party it is widespread 1t has
even made its appearance in New England,
the very stronghold of hard-money, and the
Connecticut Democracy, in convention as
sembled, call for repeal of the resumption
act. The difference in the position of the
two parties is this: A great majority of Re
publicans favor resumption in 1879, and the
small minority will yield; great majority Of
Democrats favor the repeal of the resumption
act, and the small minority will yield. In

81. R. STEVENS, ESQ.,: - - - - :.
Dear Sir--I have had considerable experience with
the VEGETINE. For dyspepsia, general debility and
impure blood, the VEGETNE is superior to anything
which have ever used. / commenced taking VEGF-
TINE about the middle of last winter and after using
few bottles it entirely cured me of dyspepsia and
my blood never was in so good condition as at the
present time. 1t will afford pleasure to give any
further particulars relative to what know about
this good medicine to any one who will call or ad-
dress me at my residence, 1856 Athens street.

APPARENTLY the argus thinks that Con-
gress at one session passes the appropriation
bills for two years, for that paper talks of the
advantage coming to the last Congress, in
considering these bills, of previous long
session. The statement that the work ac-
complished this session is less than that ac-
complished in other sessions before the holi-
day recess is correct, as the records to which
the argus appeals but which it has not con-
suited, will show. Our complaint is not that
the seventy bills passed by the House have
not become laws. 1t is fortunate that most
of them have not. The complaint is that
the House has FILTERED away the time it
should have devoted to public interests in the
consideration and passage of many unim-
portant private bills. We judge by the quail
ity of the work, not By the argus standard
Of quantity. The House has now passed
four appropriation bills, and has succeeded in
Gripping the Departments and the Military
Academy, and preparing the way for great
deficiency bills next session. That is the
record of its work. We did not say that the
two thousand bills and over, chiefly raids on
the Treasury, had been introduced by Demo-
Gratis; but we do say now that over eighteen
hundred of them were introduced by Demo-
Gratis, and of these the great majority were
claims from the South, aggregating tenfold
the amount which the Honse pretends to
save by cutting down appropriation bills. So
long, too, as the Democrats are pushing the
Pacific railway scheme involving an expendi.
ture of $400, 100000, and the refunding of the
cotton tax, calling for $6S,OOO,0OO, they will
do well to make no pretences Of economy.
The man guilty of dishonest practices is he
who suspects the honesty of others, and the in
sinuation of the Argus in regard to ''inspira-
ton" leads to the conclusion that it is in the
habit of receiving instructions from Colonel
Lamar and his committee. 1t is pity that
Lamar can't send some of his brains along
with his instructions. aW
OUT in Colorado they celebrated Washing
TONS Birthday by driving the last nail spik-
ing down the last rail in new division of
the Denver and Rio Grande Railway, extend
ing it from Pueblo to Cucharas. The build
ing of this road, which, by the way, is
another narrow-gauge triumph, in itself was
something of railroad exploit, the entire
distance of fifty-two miles having been laid in
thirty days. As financial achievement,
| however, it was still greater exploit, being,
the first railway enterprise in toto projected,
organized, and executed on the ground since
the panic. Every dollar expended has been
subscribed and paid since the crash, and in
the midst of the protraeted depression of
these gloomy times.

Behold that pale, emaciated figure, with
downcast eye, like some criminal about to
meet her fate! See that nervous, distrust-
full look, as she walks along with a'slow and

and the cherry her lips. The once sparkling
dancing eyes are now dull! and expressions
less. The once warm, dimplcd hands are
now thin and cold. Her beauty has fed.

What is that which is lurking beneath tho
surface of that once lovely form? Does she
realize her terrible condition? Is she aware

eight miles an hour, hit him and caused
