Cu1oAdo, Sept. S.-From the action OF
local banks, and the number OF complaints
flied at the .post-oilice, IL appears that the
postal notes issued to the public last Mon
day are already deemed failure in this
city. A great many began to arrive mere
within day or two after the first issue,
sent in lieu Of drafts for small amounts ana
were al once deposited, the same as checks

the banks TO refuse TO accept them, and
tbls action Ia deemed tantamount to de-
stroying their usefulness. The post -oiiice,

rors has entailed an unusual amount oil az
ditional labor on the working force.

grading of officers fees The present Legis-
lature should not adjourn without making
the provisions of this amendment available.
AS we said in a previous article, it would be
we'll TO provide that persons now in Office
should not be effected by the amended law.
And, as we have also said, it seems to us that
the most equitable way to compensate county
officers for their services would be by fixed
salaries These could be graduated according
to population, thus insuring justice to all.
The Legislature owes it to itself as we'll as
to the people to pass law which, while ade
quately compensating county officers for
their work, will prevent them from getting
rich in year or two of public service. When
such law is passed corruption in elections
will have received staggering blow

government.

Hon JOHN w. FOSTER has been appointed
Minister to Spain, to succeed Hon. Hannibal
Hamln. Col. Fosters name had not been
mentioned in connection with this or with
any other public employment, and the an
nouncement was a perfect surprise to his
friends in this city and State. Only few
days ago Mr.. Foster, in an extended inter
view, announced that he had resigned the
Russian mission, after nine years of foreign
service, because he found he was losing
identity with his own country, and felt it to
be an injustice to his own future and that of
his family. lie has been living in Washing
ton, where he is acting as counsel for the
Mexican government and it has been his
intention to make the capital his permanent
residence for the practice Of law. But if he
has concluded to again enter the diplo-
matte service, his past career is ample guar
antee for the fidelity with which he will rep
resent the United States at Madrid.
From later dispatches it appears that Mr..
Fosters mission is undertaken at the request
of the President, and covers some special
points of disagreement, after the settlement
of which he will return home,

''THE Republican National House of Repre-
sentatives propose to pass what is known as
the KassOn bill to amend the rules of the
House so as to shut off all debate, and the In
danapolis Journal commends the proposed
legislation as wise, necessary and expedient,
but when the Democrats of our Legislature
move the previous question, and thus get a
bill passed, the same journal characterizes it
as working under the gag law" What
difference it makes in the eyes of the Jour-
nal which party does thing as to whether il
is wise or otherwise. "-Crawfordsville Times
In the first place, the indianapolis Journal
has never approved the proposed Kasson
rule, though we do believe there should be
some regulation whereby the majority in
legislative body can have fair command of
business. Legislation should not be in the
control of the minority though the right of
the minority should always be respected, and
the opportunity given for them to make fair
opposition, present their objections and
make the proper record. 1t is the ignoring
of this latter right we have objected to in the
Legislature. Under the pressure of the pre-
vious question bills have been passed with
out allowing the minority a word of de-
bate or a member the opportunity to
even explain his vote. This is brute
force, pure and simple, and no such outrage
is ever perpetrated in the House of Repre-
sentatives whether it be under the presenter
under the proposed Kasson rule. When the
previous question is ordered there is speci-
fed time for debate, which is usually par
celed out among the opponents of the meas
ure, so that the minority can be heard.
This is all we have ever demanded at the
hands of the majority of the Legislature
We recognize their power to pass such legis-
lation as they please and have advised the
Republicans to make no factious opposition
but if they are not to be permitted the OPP
portunity to make a fair opposition, then we
think the Republicans would be justified IN
any course which would bring the bulldozers
and DULLES to their senses.

THE people demand reduction and equal
ization of the fees of county officers, but they
do not want them reduced to starvation
point. They are willing to pay those who
transact the public business fair price for
what they do. Heretofore the Legislature of
Indiana has made efforts to reduce and equal
ize officers fees, but on account of constitu-
tional impediments, the work proved
Abortive. This difficulty, however is now
out of the way. The people of the State, by
large majority, have adopted constitu-
ional amendment expressly authorizing the

A FEW days since Gath reported an inter-
tervew with Colonel John w. Foster with ref
ence to the We'll Mexican claim, in which it
is stated that General Schenck was employed
by General Boynton, of New York, TO inhu-
ance the judgment of Sir Edward Thornton,
who was the umpire of the commission.
General Schenck has written Hon John ].
Key a letter in which he says: Il can hardly
believe that Mr.. Foster has given utterance
or countenance to such a falsehood. Who
ever may be the author of the report, pro-
nounce it, in all its relation to me, base
and unfounded lie. never knew there was
such a case as Wells before the Mexican COM
mission until long after the award was made.
and | have no recollection of having ever
spoken one word to Sir Edward Thornton in
regard to the matter. Certainly never did
while the subject was before him." Colonel
Foster has written letter in which he dis
claims arraigning the motives of any of the
counsel in the case, but reiterates that the
We'll claim is one of the most shameless and
baseless frauds ever perpetrated upon any
government.

IT is believed that Senator Edmunds, of
Vermont, will be elected President pro tenn.
of the Senate, to succeed David Davis. The
selection would be most admirable one,
and in possible contingency, which it is to
be hoped may not happen, the presidential
succession would be satisfactorily provided
for. The only objection to be urged is thu
loss of Mr.. Edmunds from the floor. He is

SENATOR VEST recently presented in the
Senate memorial from prominent citizens
of St. Louis asking that the act retiring
General Sherman be so amended as to retire
him with the rank and pay of general. Mr..
Vest has since received letter from General
Sherman in which he returns thanks for
this expression of interest and respect, and
informs the petitioners that Congress has
already done the very thing they petition for.
The letter concludes by saying Gas long
as my strength and life are spared 1 will en-
deavor to assist in the great work of making
every foot of the land we claim as our own
the fit abode of virtuous, refined and in
dustrious people" The respect and conf
dence of the American people will follow
General Sherman in his retiracy from public
life, and the hope will be universal that he
may be spared for many years to take part
in the commendable work indicated by his
letter.

1T is almost beyond comprehension that so
plain and commanding a necessity as the
passage of some law which shall not permit
the farms of Indiana to be made the prey of
predatory animals, especially in the present
condition of affairs, when hundreds and thou
sands of miles of fence have beenswept away,
cannot receive the support of a majority in
either of the branches of the General Assem-
bly,. But the poor mans cow" that sacred
god which kept indianapolis cow-pasture
for so many years, seems to be potent
throughout the State, and in the House of
Representatives a bill to keep stock from
running at large has failed by a vote of
yeas Al, nays So. The Camden Expositor,
discussing the question, says:
Among the many poor laws with which
Indiana is afflicted, probably one of the
worst is that which requires each individual
freeholder to fence against the ravages of the
combined stock of all othef residents. TAX
ing into consideration the fact that nearly all
fences within the recently-hooded districts
have been swept away, and remembering the
utter inability of the unfortunate ones to
replace them in time for a crop this season,
if the present Legislature will promptly en-
act law forbidding stock to run at large,
and then adjourn, many of its sins of omis-
sion and commission will be forgiven"
This certainly seems to be plain common
sense. With a somewhat complete run of
the newspapers of the State, which we think
give a fairer index of the public sentiment
of their respective communities than any
other agency, we have yet to see single
word or paragraph against the passage of the
law we have repeatedly urged in the interests
of the farming community of the State, and
particularly of that portion OF the farming
community which needs the fostering care
of the General Assembly But, on the con-
trary, we have noticed from many quarters
the strongest appeals for the enactment of
such statute. We are satisfied that few
more popular measures could be passed than
one which should prevent farms from being
made the pasture-grounds OF the thriftless
owners of domestic animals.
On this same subject the Warsaw Times
says:
"A law 10 prevent tne running al ldrge Vi
live stock would have enabled the farmers
in the crushed districts spoken of to have
raised their spring crops without first provid-
ing fences. and it should have passed. If the
farmers alluded to will first have to provide
fences in thesubmerged portion OF the State,
they will have no time to put in crops, and it
was for the amelioration of this terribly
afflicted class of people that such law n was
asked for. If the people of the north part OF
the State and who will receive no benefit
from the passage of such law, are willing.to
bear the burdens imposed for the aid of
their sorely tried brethren-and we have not
heard word OF oppositon-we think that
the Legislature might have acted in more
liberal manner in this particular"

REV. DIR. MORGAN DIX is delivering what he
calls Lenten talks in trinity Chapel, New York.
On Friday evening he took strong ground
against "woman's rights" as that phrase is
popularity construed, Elm the course of his re-
marks be said "there was not society to-day
any more dangerous public enemy than the
woman who, under the pretext OF lifting herself
up to higher plane of public rights, not only
deliberately untitled herself for social and do
mestic duties. but persuaded others to follow in
the same course" The speaker also attacked
co-educatiOn of the sexes, and said "young
women could not be trained in company with
young men except at the sacrifice of all those
modest, delicate qualities that formed the Pc
culiar and essential charm of womanhOod. De-
cency, propriety and delicacy were the elements
that should be chiefly considered in any plan of
relationship between the sexes, aud those ele-
ments dema nded for young woman the watch
full presence of her mother. Any man who
would want to have his daughter educated in
exactly the same manner his would
deserve to be stamped fool. No parent in his
right mind could be so misguided to the
respective duties he owed to a son and daugh-
ter to desire them to be trained exactly alike,
as if they were both boys" The Doctor urged
this view at considerable length, contendng that
II man is to be the bread winner, woman should
be the home-maEer.

THE Daily News of Saturday says:

SIT is an arbitrary and high-handed pro-
cedure to deny Purdue University an APP
preparation because of the faculty's decision
concerning secret societies. That decision
it seems to us is unwise, but it is no concern
of able senators, one way or another. A
faculty of college must be permitted the
right to judge what is best for the welfare of
the institution and to take exception to
some such regulation and make an appro-
priation hinge upon its abolition, is piece
of impertnent tyranny"

REPORT is current that ex-Collector Murphy,
of New York, was recently severely snubbed at
the White House. Mrs. McElroy, the Presidents
sister, is a lady whose presence is much sought
after, ana 1t is considered high privilege TO en-
JOY the honor of her acquaintance. The story
going the rounds is that Mr.. Murphy called at
the White House with several ladies whom he
had promised to introduce to Mrs McElrOy. Mr..
Murphy and his fair charges seated themselves
in the waltingro and sent their cards to the
President For some reason the President was
not pleased at the array OF names, ana the ladies
were quite closely questioned to who they
were, and. according to one report, to what
they had been. AT any rate the answers were
not satisfactory, and President Arthur informed
them in his blandest and most polite manner
that they could not be presented to his sister

THE majority report favoring the passage
of the metropolitan police bill has been
adopted in the Senate, by vote of % to Is,
and it is IN position to be taken up and
passed at any time. 1t is very probable the
Democratic majority will consummate this
outrage but if they do they will doubtless
find their game blocked by the City Coun-
ellis refusal to vote any money to pay their
party bummers. If State police are wanted,
the State must pay for them.

reason possibly for its stiffnecked perverse
ness. We think the ordinance should be
amended so as to provide that if TO seat is
given on demand, no fare can be collected.
The ordinance saves all the legal rights of
the old company, so that the questions arising
between the two organizations can go to the
courts for settlement. We earnestly hope
the Council will charter the new company,
carefully guarding all public and private
rights and conveniences.
