Soldiers Orphans and Feeble Minded CT
dren. e.

TO the Editor o. the Indianapolis journal:
AS two OF the most important cities of our
State-Logansport and Evansville-are striv-
ing for one of our benevolent institutions,
and as Evansville seems to be in the lead in
the race, would suggest the Asylum for Fee
ble-minded be taken to Logansport. The
large building known as Smithson College
could be purchased for much less than it
would cost to erect new building, and could
easily be made very suitable for that pur-
pose. D...
1t is not the orphans who ought to be re-
moved, but the feeble-minded. What are
the reasons for removing the orphans to some
other place and giving up their old home to
the feeble-minded ? 1t would be adding in
suit to injury Besides the good
people of this State did not
contribute their money to purchase
this ground for a feeble minded asylum, but
for the soldiers and seamen and their Or
phans. General Ben. Harrison, our United
States senator, has this to say on the subject:
81 think that the State of Indiana can well
afford to provide separate institution for
feeble-minded children. There seems to be
something very incongruous in uniting such
an institution with the Soldiers Orphans
Home. l think the necessity for an orphans
home will continue for many years yet Sol
diers having minor children are still numer-
ous and the work of death is going on among
them with more than average rapidity.'
Hon. William S. Holman says: The two in
stitutions ought to be separate, and there
is no doubt that the orphans have the oldest
and best claim to the old home uear Knights
town. The soldiers orphans have high
claim on the State and Nation"

about the way the thing went 1 know a

one who says his prayers, and if it were not
treason to temperance, l would believe him
sincere. Let us who are of the Lords aris-

The Liquor Side of the Question.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Jouruar
Much has been said, both editorially and
by correspondents, in the columns of the
Journal on the vexed question of the liquor
traffic, For the most part what has been
said has been ably said but perhaps not
wisely or with full understanding of the
issue. There are at least two sides to every
question, and as one who has been engaged
for nearly quarter of century in the sale
of intoxicants, 1 wonld beg to suggest few
ideas from my side of the position.
1t appears to me that the first
necessity is to SO amend the laws and so
educate the people, as to make the sale OF
liquor to the two classes who are themselves
most dangerously affected, and who in turn
must affect others, penal, and severely penal;
| allude, of course. to minors and habtual
drunkards. No fine should be inflicted on
the saloonist who knowingly sells to these
dangerous customers. The first offense should
! be punished by Imprisonment OF not less
than thirty days duration, and the second
should result in the revocation of license,
with perpetual inability to renew. Let the
liquor traffic be confined to sales to those
who can drink with safety and in modera-
ton and it would soon become as respecta-
Bile and innocuous as any other business, and
the passage of law with such penal clauses
as have indicated would meet with the ap-
proval of most, if not all, the liquor inter
ests of the State. High license will not ac
complish the ends desired or expected by its
advocates Many saloons would be closed by
it, but for every closed saloon new drug
store, with gilded prescription case, behind
which a bottle of whisky and bottle of
simple syrup" and an empty tumbler
would be found, and for dime the patient
might fill his own prescription. Most of the
initiatOrV drinking of the younp the t'DiOuS"
and the respectable is done in such places
too many OF whom exist even now and the
mischief done in them is credited with re-
markable liberality to the saloons. Drug
stores ought to pay the same license for the
sale of whisky that saloons pay, and they
ought to be subject to the same police reg
ulations. But admitting and it hardly adj
mts of question, that the classes dangerous
ly affected by the sale of intoxicants are
minors and drunkards, it seems to me that
all laws ought to be made with regard to
their protection. Us

To the Editor OF the INDIANAPOLIS journal:
In your editorial department you express
the singular idea that the State-house investi-
CATION has developed the fact that the 'peo-
pie have no interest in the contract or the
contractors
Permit me space in your paper to say that,
as the matter presents itself to my mind, the
investigation of State.house affairs by the
House committee so far, Judging from the
testimony published, looks to an outsider
more like an investigation to suppress mate
rial facts rather than to shed light on the
subject
If the contractors have lost money on this
huge work let us know it, and how much,
and if their present attitude and claims for
losses are merely schemes to extort more
money out of the State than is affair price
for the work done, and yet to be DONE let us
know that fact also 1t is facts we want, and
when they are fully known there is and can
be but one position taken by the State in re-
gard to the matter, and that is to require a
full dollars worth of work done for every
dollar she pays the contractors, and not to
require the contractors to do one dollars
worth of work that the State does not
pay them for. 1t is no matter
whether the contractors erred in
judgment by taking the work too low or not.
The State cannot afford to take advantage of
errors of this kind. If the contract had been
let at excessively high prices, this, under the
law, would have been Just ground for an
nuling the contract by the Legislature; and
if it was let at exceedingly low figures. with
equal justice these figures should be cor
rected.
The State cannot afford to take a position
like an individual who tries to drive q sharp
bargain with every one he does business with.
She cannot ask something for nothing from
any one, nor can she afford to give something
for nothing to any one. Then the whole
matter should hinge on the facts
as to whether or not the contractors have
lost money in an honest endeavor to COM
plete their contracts. If the facts show that
they have lost money, the State can we'll af
ford to see that no further losses occur, even
though it may not make good the past loss.
1t is expected that this committee will find
out how much, if any, the loss to the con-
tractors has been up to this time, and
whether the unexpended balance of the ap-
preparation is sufficient to complete the
building. There certainly can be no great
difficulty in arriving at these facts and as
the end of the session is drawing near, but
little time is left for the Legislature to act
after the report is made to them. And, be-
sides, an anxious pnblic wants to know not
only the true inwardness of the whole sub
ject. but also the remedy to be applied
whereby the building may be completed
without delay, and to the best interests of
the State. CITIZEN.

Commercial and General Notes.

The committee appointed by the
New Orleans Produce Exchange, with
view to unite the sugar, rice and pro-
duce interests of the Crescent City,
have issued a circular to factors, re-
ceivers, brokers and dealers in sugar,
molasses and rice, setting forth the
mutual advantages aimed to be de-
rived from such union. A conference
of the representatives of these special
interests was held in New Orleans on
the 9th of January, but no action
looking to the proposed combination
was taken. The conference was adj
journed to reconvene on the 25th inst,
when the subject will be thoroughly
canvassed and decisive proceedings are
expected. Should the sentiment favor
union, an elegant and commodious
exchange will be erected at central
point in the city.
The Mexican Tinoncicr, in noticing
the Worlds Centennial Cotton Expo
sition, intended to he held in some
American city in 1884, endeavors to
awaken the people of that country to
appreciation of the advantages of their
soil, and says that the exposition Twill
afford Mexico an opportunity such as
is seldom offered, and adds that there
is scarcely state in the republic in
which there are not large tracts Of
land adapted to cotton culture,
and that Mexican cotton is known
abroad as being particularly fine in
color and an extremely fine and silky
| fibre, which renders it suitable for fine
machinery. The FJauncicr believes
that with ordinary effort Mexico, in
stead of importing her raw cotton, as
at present, ut enormous expense, could
\ readily become II large exporter. Ma
| tive growers, it continues, should show
their confidence in this matter and
take immediate steps TO give practical
demonstration of its feasibility. They
should first help themselves, and then
ii would be a Question of only a short
time when foreign capital would be
abundantly offered to increase and
facilitate the production.
Fairbanks circular gives the total
stock of lard in the United States De
cember 80, 1882, as l35, $40 tierces,
against 275,291 tierces in 1851 and 223,
154 tierces in 1850. Ofthese totals the
amount of prime steam deliverable on
contracts was 1l2,56l tierccs at the
close of 1882, against 236, 454 the pre-
vious year and lS4, $50 same time in
1880. The estimated stock in Europe
December 80 was ST 500 tierces against
$500 tierces the corresponding period
in 1882. From this it would APP
pear that the calendar year 1888
started off with the worlds supply
about $50, 600 tierces short of what il
was at the opening of 1882. So far as
the statistical standpoint is concerned
then making allowance for present
liberal proportion, there is apparently
some basis for the belief that prices are
not comparatively high at present
Still, it is "a not unusual circumstance
for the values to rule quite the reverse
of what the statistical position is mos,
favorable to.

unusually dead on both sides of the
Atlantic at present. Many think that
old will be touched, and this Is
quite possible. but IL will he a very
low Price looking at the past few years,
and will not last long. England will
not get a heavy supply at such prices;
the Continent will buy largely; Amer
lean spinners will replenish stocks, and
1t will be found as the spring advances
that Liverpool will never accumulate
very heavy stock. Our own spin
ners will wish tn keep large supply
in view OF autumn contingencies, and
1t will be surprising to see how the
crop will melt away. We therefore
incline to think that the opening
months of the year will be the cheap
est, and that the average price of the
season will be higher than now rules.
The average price of middling uplands
this last year was 6sd., the year
before 7-16d., and the one
before that 8 l5-l6d. We shall be
surprised il the coming year is not
over Cd. per pound. The crops in
India promise TO be large,
and if prices were as
high the supply from that quar-
ter might be as heavy as last season,
but the difference in prices will tell
upon exports, rs it always does, and
we expect some decrease. From Egypt
there will BET large decrease, perhaps
one-third of last crop, and the fact
that Egyptian cotton is I'D. dearer
than American is not without its
bearing on the prospects of the latter.
No doubt in Russia and elsewhere
American cotton will to a considerable
extent fill the place of long staples.
We therefore incline to look some
what hopefully to the coming year.
