A GOVERNOR ENDORSED.

The world is plentifully supplied
with queer people and our carbon
ferrous neighbor over the way, Wy
Oming, seems to have her full share,
especially in the legislature. On
Wednesday a Cheyenne telegram
announced that in the legislature
sa resolution expressing confidence
in Governor HOyt and approval of
his course for the past four years,
and requesting of the President his
reappointment, was unanimously
adopted" Now, that is a very
handsome, and doubtless very
proper action on the part of the leg
islature, but when the lawmakers
were recording their votes IN the
affirmative, did not their memories
carry them back two or three years I?
1t wasn't so very long ago that
a Governor Hoyt, Of Wyoming,
was about the most unpopular man
in the territory. 1t was openly
charged that married men in Chey-
enne feared to leave their residences
lest the governor went to their
homes and insulted their wives.
Among other things alleged against
this good governor was the living
with a thick-lipped, black-eyed,
kinky-haired daughter of the
south. Unless we have been dream
ing there was what might almost be
called a riot in Cheyenne, over the
conduct of his excelIency. If we
are not mistaken artillery was
drawn up in front of the executive
mansion, and banners were hoisted
to the breeze not bearing the word
excelsior" but saying the gov
ernor must be protected in
his choice of color at all
hazards. The back files of
Wyoming newspapers contain much
matter bearing in this case, that is
more interesting than consistent
with Wednesdays resolution. The
HERALD admits that it has been
preiudiced against Governor Hoyt.
The stories told concerning him
were not calculated to progresses
one in his favor. Indeed their ten
dency was the reverse. We are glad
now, however, that the legislature
has relieved him from all blame,
and unanimously approved his pc
cul.ar procliyities and strange |
conduct.

THE HALF-BREED organs, when
C0nkIing was nominated to the as
sociate justiceShip, intimated that
he was no lawyer. The importers
of AppollinarisIwater, a telegram
states, employed him to defend
their interests, paying him $5O,Oee.
Other people are also paying him
fees varying from $1,000 to $4,000
Of course they give him this money
because they like him, and not be-
cause he is a lawyer. People who
have legal business to attend to al
ways pick out unskilled lawyers to
do it for them, and always throw
away money in fees.

MUSICAL PRODIGY.
Remarkable Performance OF n Five.
Year-OId hoy at Vfncennes.

VINcENNEs. IND, December 13.-A child
named Ebert Hammsck has been creating a
sensation in local musical circles withiu the
past few days. He is called musical
prodigy" and he certainly does possess
somewhat remarkable talent for music. He
is moi five years old yet, though be success

treatment as surprising as pleasant 10 The
ear. Ebert is the son of Baptist minister,
who formerly was in charge of a congrega-
tion in the neighborhood of Freelandville,
this county. Something over a year ago the
elder Hammack disappeared suddenly from
home, since which time no tidings of him
have been received. He left his family, a
large one, in restitution, and lis necessities
appear to have suggested to kindly neigh

talent in the direction of assisting
the overworked mother to sustain the
heavy burden left to her By her recreant

the idea of bringing him before the public
was conceived. DIR. Freeland, benevolent
old gentleman, friend of the family, being

consent and brought young Ebert to Vim
cennes, introducing him to our musicians
and eniisting the good Offices of q number of
ladies and gentlemen who were captivated
by the child's handsome face and astonishing
proficiency in music. Mics Ellen Hit, her
self a musician of local note, and teacher
of the art, whose success has been we'll estab-

charge, with the purpose OF cultiyating his
talent and drilling him for public appear
ance. The arrangements for his instruction
hsve been settled, and a public entertain
ment at which he will be the chief attraction
is already being planned. Your reporter
has heard the child pay, and he must admit
that among all similar prodigies, Ebert is
entitled to a first place. He has never re-

LaugtFy Coming Over Take Care of
His Wife.

A dispatch from Boston, printed in to-day 3
Tribune, said that John Stetson, the manager
of the Globe Theater in Boston, where Mrs.
LaDgtry is playing, had turned Mr.. Geb-
bardt out of the green-room and out of a pri-
vate box. Mr.. Stetson, when asked about
the matter, said: "Mr. Gebhardt was not
actually turned out of the house. He has
been exceedingly fresh about The theater
however. He walked through the stage en-
trance-the stage doorkeeper admitting him
because he WAS tried friend of Mrs. Lang
ry-went into the green-room, and then
went into box which i had reserved for
Mrs. Langtry's use. The box was arranged
so that she could get into it from the stage
while the performance was going on, and sit
there unseen by the audience. / saw Geb-
hardt in the box, after having seen him go
into the front of the house on a ffty-cent
admission ticket. L asked the usher how
Gebhsrdt came 10 be in the box, and found
he had simply helped himself 10 it.. / or
dered the ushers to give Mr.. Gebhardt no

for them. 1 also ordered the back

vice about her conduct, but it was not well
received. She is headstrons; jim fact, be-
lieve she's cracked. It's not her sister who
is coming over to take care of her, L may
mention, but Mr.. Langtry. She is a very
foolish woman to quarrel with Mrs. La
bouchere." A report has been circulated
that owing to the gossip about Mrs. Langtry
and the consequent injury to her business in
Boston, Mr.. Abbey intended TO discontinue
the engagement with her. Mr.. Abbey is at
present in San Francisco, with Nine. Chris
tine Nilsson, but his business manager at the
Grand Operahouse, w. w. TilIotson, and his
Boston partner, Mr.. Schoeffel, who was in
his city o.day, both denied emphatically
that Mr. Abbey had auy such notion.

HIeH RATES FOR LIaUoR L,CENsEs.

AhAO N IN rs OAA ES
That the moral sense of the country re.
volts more and more each year against the
outrage, for it is no less, of drunkenness. is
Obvious. There are abundance of persons
living who can remember the time when the
custom of drinking intoxicating liquor was
regarded as matter of course. Sensitive and
sensible people, here and there, and families
cursed with drunken habits of one or two of
their members, could be heard lamenting
the prevalence of the liquor-drinking GUS
tom. But, while individual cases excited
attention, there was no popular condemna-
lion OF a custom common even among the
most moral and respected inhabitants of the
community. All this is now changed, and
even sober indulgence in drinking LIQUOR
of an intoxicating nature is getting more and
more into disrepute. Society has become
aware of the evil effects of drink upon the
health and the morals Of toe people, and lis
effect as an engenderer and sustainer of
crime is fully recognized. As the conviction
that inebriating liquor is doing incredible
harm was realized by a strong revulsion
against an enemy 30 insiduous and 30 DOW
erful, sentiment of enmiiy arose sgainst
any use OF liquor at all, and large and in
fuential associations banded together against
the prevalent evil that was carrying sorrow.
and wrong, and crime into every city, town
and village. The pulpit Illuminated i,s
orators raised their voice in every
part OF the country, and in burning words
and with pathetic entreaty painted the hor-
rors of intemperance. The medical faculty
the evil done to the human
organization BY intoxicating drink; Judges
upon the bench declared the results of their
experience, and the very criminals in the
jails denounced strong drink as the principal
agent in their fall. What wonder that such
3 weight of testimony should lead the

THE EIaH4r.FouK.onNr DOLLAR.

=
Snail we go on coming $1,000, 600 of silver
dollars every month when we have already
more of them lying useless in the treasury
than the people require in their transactions?
This is question which must come up for
consideration before Congress, now in ses-
sion, and it ought 10 be disposed of by stop
ping the coinage Of silver dollars without
delay. There is not an intelligent man OF
--Dtrsslsess- IN the united SUITES rnar does nor
know that the silver dollar is danger 10
our commerce and to our national financial
system. The bullion value of the silver is
OS433, slight fraction over eighty-four
cents. We can pay no debts with it outside
our own borders, and when financial panic
once more visits US everybody will want 10
pay them away, and everybody will be
reluctant to take them, because every
body will be aware that while gold,
and notes exchangeable for gold, may be
relied upon to retain their value. silver dol
lars will be liable to come down to an ex-
changeable value of eighty-four cents. Most
people remember what they lost not long ago
by the Mexican dollars that INSCRIPTIONS
money brokers introduced. When gold
must be had to pay foreign debts, and when
everybody wants to get rid of the silver dol
lars they hold, what happened to the Next
can dollars must happen TO the eighty-four-
cent dollar of to-day. When the Mexican
railways are built and the world flooded with
an excess of Mexican silver from the open
ing OF the rich silver mines in that country,
the value of the silver dollar will go down
to less than eighty-four cents, and all trade |
and the national finances will be embar- |
raised by the decline. These things intelli- |
gent business men know, and they should |
call upon Congress to stop the dollar coin |
age now, not wait "to lock the stable door |
after the horse has been stolen"

A RaiIroad baby.

Cspt. John Gee, conductor on the Rich

10 a severe test on his last trip into this city

ton TO the strange conduct of a woman Who
seemed 10 be IN trouble and didn't know
what to do, and finally communicating with
her through an old colored woman who was
fortunately on board, the truth dawned upon
him with staggering effect. He drove all
the men out of The car. and when the next
station was reached he telegraphed to the
station ahead for doctor. When the train
arrived at that station the doctor appe AIRED

BEEUHER ON NUDITY.
Henry Ward Thinks Inward Grace
More Desirable Than Physical
Beauty.

NEW York, December 13.-Only the aisle
chairs IN Plymouth Church were vacant Sun
day morning, in spite of the ince ment weai her.
Mr.. Beecher spoke upon-the beauty OF holt
ness, with incidental references TO earthly
beauty. While beauty, he said, was not to
be desplsed, il was The gift of God, and,
therefore, 10 be recognized. 1t was just as
well to thank God for beauty rs for health
and comfortable surroundings But it was
The custom, ii any one alluded TO a woman's
beauty before her, for her 10 deny it, TO
blush and shipper, "Oh, no, you hstter me-"
As to homely persons, they were themselves
to blame. Toward beauty all could attain
and then it would strike through to the out
side so IS TO show the beautiful soul within.
There was no cosmetic like grace.
Mr.. Beecher went on to say thst the most
bsautifu1 mSu he ever was a black m a H.
But his beauty was not in his skin or his
aforementioned lips, or his kinky hair. He
was fairly redolent with piety, and although
Mr. Bseeher's father was in the pulpit, aud
Smith, the black man, was doing chores, he
respected the latter more than his father, and
believed that he was the best man in the
world. II had something TO do with his
strong abolition sentiments.
Ii some sacred Inner would only come
down and paint things they are, what a
whistliDg and twis ing there would be 10
keep pictures out of the sight of the re-
porters.
Art which painted and gloriied matter
only, was art beastly. The men who painted
what modesty hid and the processes of which
nature herself was ashamed, what language
could fifty characIeriz.? Then the prostitu-
ton OF literature, maxim: love only carnal,
feeding morbid imagiuations was only desc
Grafton. Man called it liberty and worship
of nature, but they had not the first idea as
10 what nature really was. Art should not
peFpetuate forms for mems sensu atty
whether for Partisan salons or boudoirs and
bedrooms at home. Nakedness with the at
tributes not pure and high, as in "The Bath"
and "The Captive Slave" was seductive,
corrupling, abomniable; and whenever so
prOstituted beauty was in the service of the
devil. When things had served their Esep,
I he buzzard, crow and worm gathered to
fatteu on them in rottenness, and il seemed
as if some men had decended in their line,
they 50 rtjoiced in filth, corruption and
nastiness. From earthly beauty and the
beauty of self-sacriice and long suffering we
went up step by step to the beauty OF God,
The highest beauty in the universe.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER IA, 1882
TOBACCO OR SUGAR.

Pig-Iron Kelley has introduced a bill
into Congress to abolish the tax Oh tobacco
in all its forms. The amount of duty tobac-
co pays TO government is about $47, 5000 a
year. To make the chewer, the smoker, and
the snuf-dipper, the dapper young man with
hair parted in the middle, and the boy who
smokes cigarettes present every year OF
S47 100000 is a truly msguifcent and Pig
Kellian idea. Tobacco is a luxury which
everybody can do without if he choose; if he
choose 10 use ii he also chooses 10 pay a vol
unteer offering TO government, and the tax is
paid with less objection on the part of the
tobacco-user than the public entertain toward
probably any other tax except that on inc
briating liquors, which is ALEC a tax nobody
need pay il they object TO it. Sugar, an i'm
porlant material Of the peoples consumption,
also pays about S47,O00,OOO yesr If a
SAT 900, 900 present is to be made to any class
in the population, ought not the sugar users
TO have preference over tobacco -cheWers,
cigar-smokers and unclean snuff-dippers?
Pity but the women could have a vote on the
question-tobacco, or sugar? The voice of
the people, The whole people, would then
soon settle the question and, probably, Pig
Iron Kelley along with it away from the
of the Committee on Ways and
Means.
