HE STRUCK.

Seated on the extreme end Of tne
Ringo House curb stone yesterday
was a boy who seemed to have made
up his mind that life was a sham and
happiness a myth. He "a solmnly
and intently gazing at a collection of
four cabbage-heads, six beets, peck
of onions and three cucumbers out at
Fowlers, when along we came and
asked:
What ails you?"
"Struck :" was the solemn an
swcr.
"Have, eh?" How'd you come
out?"
Il was working for dad at fifty
cents a day" sadly explained the
boy on the bench. II was the only
hand, and l thought if l struck for a
dollar q day he'd have to shut up
shop and be busted or come to my
terms"
"And did it turn out that wayE'
''Not quite. The old man didn't
seem u bit terror-stricken, but he
bounced me through a window and
hired another boy to do my work al
three shillings a day."
''What'Il / do?"
"Well, 1 s'posc I'll have to &c
around telling the boys that capita

the fearful reply.

But he was near, and the birds sang

A MAN WHO NEVER SAW A
WOMAN.

A Chinaman who had been disap-
pointed in marriage, and had griev-
onsly suffered by women in various
other ways, retired with his infant son
to the peaks of a mountain range in
Kweichoe, to a spot quite inaccessible
to the little-footed Chinese women.
He trained the boy to worship the
gods and stand in 1--WE and adherence
of the devils; but he never mentioned
women to him, always descending the
mountains alone to buy food.
Atlength the iLirmities of age com
PEELED him to take the young mar with
him to carry the heavy bags Of rice.
AS they we're leaving the market
town together, the son suddenly stop

approaching objects, cried: q.
Father, what are these things?
Look, look! what are they?'' :.
The father instantly answered with
a peremptory tone: Turn away
your head; they are devils, 1 tell
ye.''
The son in some alarm turned away,
seeing the evil things were gazing at
him with some surprise behind their
fans.
He walked to the mountain in 81.

day lost his appetite, and was afflicted
with melancholy. For some time his

INDIANA AND INDIANAPOLIS FIRST

The workingman who owns home will
not be paid by a few days work for loading it
with heavy taxation for twenty years, or de-
preciating its value on account of excessive
taxation. 1t Is the poor men who will have to
pay the most of this debt, and il is the Door
men who can least afford IL. Three-fifths Of
the property is owned by the poor men. The

ation.-News.
The workingmen will do well to remem-
Der that the News helped to fix upon their
shoulders debt of $4,000; that it advo-
Gated the issue of bonds bearing per cent
interest, to run twenty years, and that, when
bebt and interest are paid, the swindle will
amount to 1851 900. This swindle. the most
infamous ever saddled upon Indianapolis,
was for the purchase of park-now a mis-
one dollar of benefit to the workingmen of
the city. This swindle was pet enterprise
of the News There was no reasonable ex-
cuse for il. The debt created to carry it out
is an incubus. The workingmen of
Indianapolis according to the estimate of
the News, which championed the job,
is three-ffths of the debt, which
would be $156, $50. The cow-pen park swim
die has had the effect TO depress the value
OF real estate, and in this way the working.
men who own homes have been injured,
not because debt was created, but because
of the worthlessness of the investment. In
the case of the Belt road and stock yards
the situation is changed In the first place
thousands of dollars are to be expended
for labor and still more thousands for mate
rial. The road and stock yard are TO be
built, houses are to be erected, new indus
tries created, commerce extended, new mar.
kets opened, capital attracted and business
revived, and of this every dollar expended
and every days work done will contribute
directly to the advantage of indianapolis and
TO her working and her business men
II is believed. and the opinion is eminently
rational, that real estate will appreciate in
value, industries will revive and bushes:
expand. To assume that laboring men will
not be benefited is simply species of dam
phoolism of which the News is guilty every
day. It's TRADES are in the inter
est of Cincinnati, and the charge
that some Of its articles are
written in that city is most plausible, for
unless II Is subsidized we can see no reason

the moral sense of the people, and accord
ingly the joint commission was proposed.
The democracy, being in the condition of
a man whose money has been stolen by one
stronger than himself, consented to submit
the question of title to that which was their
own to arbitration. just as the man would
agree to put himself upon an equality with
the thief when he knew that his only chance
to recover his property was by 50 doing.
Besides, it had some hope-faint though 1t
was-that the radical judges would,
for the nonce, rise above party
and decide questions of SO great moment
according to the law and the facts. But in
this, as in everything else where radical jus
tice is trusted, its hopes are turned to ashes.
No Justice can be had where radicalism is to
suffer if radicals are to be the adjudicators.
Now, when the plan of the conspirators is
consummated and Hayes counted in, what
will the people do about it? Without an
swering the question it is safe to aver that
they will have no respect for him, either as
a man or as an official. They will think of
him Just as they would of man who is a re-
ceiver of stolen goods-one who would take
his neighbOr's coat from thief and put 1t
on his back, knowing it was stolen. Should
he put on the stolen garment it will burn
him like the shirt of Nessus, and the infamy
of the act will be to him a consuming fire.

why it should continually array its columns
against Indianapolis. We do not know why
the News favored the cow-pen park swindle
possibly its ignorance was the cause-at
any rate it has sufficiently demonstrated It's
hostility to the interests of the city to make
people doubt its ability or sincerity, or both.
We do not pretend to know what action
the legislature will take in regard to the
Belt road and stock yard enterprise. We
have not sought to instruct that body, or to
warp the opinions of Legislators for or
against the enterprise. 1t is a fact, how
ever, that a majority of the tax
payers of indianapolis asked for the
action of the council. the subject was
thoroughly discussed in all of its bear
ings, and would long since have been an &C
cOmplished fact except for legal techni-
cality which the legislature is asked to
overcome. This is the whole story, and the
News, in its efforts to benefit Cincinnati
by pleading with the legislature to disre-
regard the wishes Of the people of Indianap-
oils, that rival city may reap the advan-
tages of its apostacy, is duplicating its
championship of the cow-pen park job by
which the city is impoverished to the
amount of something more than a quarter
of million dollars.

The radicals are giving out that some of
the southern congressman will come over
to the support of Hayes, If he is declared
elected. Purman, of Florida, made a change
on Tuesday, but he seems to have left the
radicals and changed over 10 the democrats.
Now the radical organs are calling him
''poor Purman," and little Purman," and
say he is ION the make, and ''ain't any ac-
count anyhow" etc, etc. Purman says
that Tilden carried Florida fairly. We add
his exact language:
The Tilden electors were truly elected In
Florida, and only by ways that are dark"
and tricks that In this case have not proved
to be vain, were these electors and a majority
out of their fair and lawful victory.
