An Enterprising Reporter.

There was picnic in Eby's Grove, near
Dayton, Ohio, one day Some of the young
men wandered down the river. In Sc
cluded nook they discovered a pile of female
clothing They looked into the river for
signs of life or death, but saw nothing. A
newspaper reporter of the party took down
all the surroundings, rummaged among the
clothes, and found there were several sets or
suits of them, little and big. In on pocket
love letter was found. written by Hal to
Julia. The clothing was tenderly bundled
up and taken to the picnic camp, stuffed un-
der buggy seat, and the party started home
feeling very sad. 1t did not occur to them
at once that it was little strange q young
woman and two or three little girls should
commit suicide all at once. 1t was perhaps
Julia and her little sisters who had thus
plunged into eternity. 1t was a very sad
case all agreed-disappointed love perhaps
and on the theory of suicide the love let
ter would be good thing for the account.
The clothes were taken to the police office.
The reporter was satisfied that he had good
thing. The account was read evidently,
for early in the morning an angry father
came raging into police quarters demanding
the clothes. His daughter had taken walk
on the river bank with two or three little
neighbor girls, and the place being secluded
and the temperature warm and the water in
viting, they concluded to take bath. Soon
they heard voices in the woods, and hid
themselves in the bushes. They huddled
together as quiet as mice until the intruding
young men had come and gone-gone with
their clothes. The only thing they could do
was to remain quietly where they were until
after dark and then steal to their homes in
the kindly shadows of nght-M Y San.

1t is little curious to notice that Ger
many has outstripped Ireland in the work of
filling up the empty places in this country.
The official statistics of immigration for the
last thirty years show that those countries
have furnished more than 1000, 900 immi-
grants each, but that Germany is more than
100000 ahead OF Ireland. 1t is estimated
that each adult emigrant is worth to the
country at least one thousand dollars.

MODEST HEROES.

There died lately at the Russian head
quarters, at San Stefano, one of those ex-
amples of modest heroes whose worth is
made known and appreciated only after
death has stamped his seal on them and
claimed them for his own. He was
known only as newspaper
correspondent whose letters served TO while
away the time and afford entertainment and
information. His name was McGahan. an
American. He was employed on the New
York Herald till an act of the management
disclosed clearly a want of appreciation of
his ability and services. A self-expatiated
man, he sought that recognition of his ability
and remuneration for his services denit d
him at home at the hands of foreign paper.
As correspondent of the London Daily News
he has furnished delightful entertainment
and impaired information of the most valu-
able kind concerning the eastern countries.
As war correspondent of the same
paper, actuated by the one idea
that was the controlling sentiment
of his life-a sense of duty his facile pen,
guided by the love of the truth, and ami
mated by sympathy for the oppressed and
hatred of the oppressor, recounted the
barbarites of the Turks and influenced the
English people to leave them to the fate
their cruelty invited. AS a war correspond
ent his letters are accepted as the truth; and
neither friend nor foe question their sincerity.
HIS duty prompted him to remain at his
post when one could say, 'all but him had
fed" His death gives occasion for his
friends to speak of the many, traits of charac-
ter that stamped him hero, whose modesty
shrank from the mention of deeds that have
stamped other men with the appreciation
and applause of the world. Prominent in
his character was his sense of duty to his en-
ployers and the public. 1t made him careless
of self, indifferent to danger aud hardships,
true to humanity and just in all his posi-
tons. 1t is well for an exacting public in
criticizing those who cater to its fancies and
prejudices, who spend weary, weary hours in
contentious endeavors to gratifyit, to pause
and picture TO themselves the drudgery and
the haTdships, the unceasing work, the
ften fruitless efforts, though conscien-
tiously made, that are attempted to
anuse and instruct them. The midnight
oil burns while they sleep that the morning
may find something that will entertain
them. Success is as small in this profession
as in others, when to the hard work, both
mental and physical, is added the conscien-
tious desire 10 do ones duty; and when that
involves priyations, dangers and the exercise
of genius that would reward a soldier with
the baton of a marshal, let justice crown
alike the modest hero with the martial sol
der, and reward him with the well done,
good and faithful servant"

want to see the Hon. ID. w. VOORHEES, elected
to fill that Office for six years from the 4th
of March, 1879. The Journal is continually
bowling about Mr.. Voorhees,, his record, etc.
At no period i'm the public career of Mr..
Voorhees, has he been so thoroughly en-
deared 20 the democratic party and to honest
men of all parties as now. His course in the
senate has won for him an enduring name
and national applause. While the Journal
was denouncing the silver bill and
the repeal of the resumption laws
the people in every state in the Union
were asking for the great speech of Senator
Voorhees,, and none were more anxious to
obtain the speech than men who for year.
had been identified with the radical party,
The Journal is very careful about naming
radical candidates for the United
States senatorship. General Ben
Harrison Is mentioned, and some
body says that Judge Martindale is
fixing things. Judge Gresham it is thought
wants to go, and still others could be In
duced to accept the Office, but the Journal
keeps mum on the subject. If the Journal
will trot out its candidates we will guaran-
tee, by faithful analysis, to show that the
entire company, few or many, if resolved
into one man, would be, in point of
every essential of craftsmanship, as
much beneath the Hon. ID. w. Voorhees, as
John Sherman is beneath an honest man.
So far as we are advised, the radicals will
put forward no man who was not in full
sympathy with the Florida and Louisiana
frauds, and who was not in favor of utiliz-
ing forgery and perjury for the purpose of
making Hayes president. The Journal dare
not mention the names of the radical as
pirants for the URited States senatorship.
1t dare not permit the people to let daylight
into their record. We challenge the Jour
nal to trot out its candidates, or confess that
their record is SO vulnerable that prudence
demands that their names should not be
made public.

We think that in the present condition of
affairs, when the state is building large ad-
dItion to the insane asylum, and has not yet
begun the foundation of the new
state house, that the people should
not seriously consider the project
of building another asylum, as suggested by
Ben Harrison, for fat money idiots. The
taxpayers now complain of hard times. and
the difficulty in paying their taxes and any
fresh burdens would distress them very
much. III Mr.. Harrison was a
jokist we would pay no attention
to his suggestions. Bat it is we'll known to
the people that ne is 1.-The man who never
laughs, and we are compelled to treat his
declarations with the seriousness they de-
serve. We therefore most solemnly protest
against his scheme, and call upon ''the or
gan" to assure the people of Indiana whether
this question will come before the people in
the coming canvass Mr.. Harrison has not
the reputation of being a silly man, or we
would treat his utterance as a joke. His
speech was on an occasion where the assem-
bled wisdom and the loaves and fishes were
ably represented. He was to sound the key
note, and all the little reed organs, from the
Journal down, were to re-echo it over the
state. We want to know.if this is the polit-
ical gospel they will all preach.

board OF county commissioners would never

PEELED to do so, we favored the enactment of
law limiting taxation to thirty cents, and
asked the democracy to nominate men for
the legislature pledged to the passage
of such a law. We have the sat
isfaction OF knowing that our suggestions
were needed, for the late democratic comfy

our county affairs are extravagantly con-
Quoted, but II the revenue is cut off which
permits such extravaganza our county
commissioners and courts will be compelled
to take in their horns A law should be
passed and made applicable to this county
similar to the one which was enacted by the
last legislature for limiting taxation in this
city. If this be done the courts and county
commissioners will be forced to confine their
appropriations to their receipts. This will
insure curtailment of expenses, for ex-
penses will not be incurred if there be no
money with which to pay them. If the peo-
pie will elect the democratic candidates for
the legislature law will be passed which
will cause lessening of their expenses ana
a curtailment of their taxes. Surely these
things are worth striving for, and we expect
many men this fall who are not democrats
to break away from their party fealty and
vote the democratic ticket. If our ticket is
elected we can promise the people reduc-
ton OF their county taxes.
