indianapolis merchants lost 4i00,000

anything. for the indianapolis Journal
says: 1.-THE freight line company has
given notice. under the law governing
common carriers, that 1t will not be re.
sponsibe for this loss. The only chance
for the consignees to recover is by q
the issue OF which, to say the least
would be extremely doubtful"

The new Methodist hymn book, pre-.
pared by a committee Of the general
conference, is completed and has been
accepted by the board Of bishops. Il
contains eleven hundred and fifty
hymns, Of which two-thirds were taken
from the old manual. For the selection
of the four hundred new hymns, some
fifteen hundred hymn books were con-
suited and carefully annotated. Livery
hymn in the collection has been traced
back to its original source, and in most
cases the original version has been re-
stored.

incompetent and unfit for any judicial

and while in Florida be had devoted
himself more to applejack than to law.
He said the nominee was time server

He said during the Presidential count
in Florida the Republicans had to keep
the closest watch on MclIinn, and Il
they had not done so he would have

Post dares to speak Of the proposed
restoration Of silver TO its old place in
tho coinage, and to the reinstatement
of the old money character OF that
metal under our laws, as reputation.
The Post is the advocate of the money
sharps who have deprived the people
Of the United States of the silver OPP
tion. This was done when imitation
had caused vast increase of indebt-
edness, public and private, and it was
done with the express purpose OF max
ing the sum OF the debts greater than
they were defined TO be in the con.
matchmaking them payable in one
metal instead of two. The talk that
the President will popularizc himself
by helping the conspiracy to force the
single standard or British gold policy
upon the people OF the United States,
who never were consulted on the sub
Iject, is SIMPLY impotence. The asscr.
ton that there would be breach OF
faith in paying bonds and notes nc.
cording to the letter of the laws under
which they are issued, is equally AFRO
CANT and imbecilc. The Post should
