"What is the population of La
Beau. D. t., now?" we asked. "Well,
the first lumber was received two
weeks ago last Sunday. Now there
are six general stores, one dry goods
store, one hardware store, five sa-
looms. one meat market, three lumber
yards, one bank. one newspaper, one
telegraph Office, a post Office, with
$50 call and so lock boxes of the Yale
pattern, in a building 20x30, two
stories high, two hotels, and some
other structures" Since then there
has been started another bank, fifty
room hotel, hardware store, and a
Presbyterian church.-S. Paul Pho

err in the Christian world but to my
mind this work is not las some would
have it, to be attributed to the itin-
eracy but to her theology and the
apostolic zeal of her ministry and the
earnest devoted lives of her members.
The writer believes that with the
time limit removed from the pastoral
term she has the best plan of minis
terlal appointment in the world. No
vacant pulpits - no unemployed
preachers. The efficiency of the itin-
eracy would be increased instead of
diminished by the proposed change.
1t would relieve the church of that
class of inefficient preachers that
hang as a dead weight upon her, and
can only keep their places in the
ministry by virtue of this rotary pas
torate. They could not live in the
ministry of any other church; but
the itineracy takes care of them.
They are sent as an affiiction on this
church for one year; the patience of
church exhausted long before the
year expires makes it necessary that
new victim be furnished these min
isterial drOnes.
Take off the timely circuit, appoint
man for year at time, making
his success and adoption to a given
church the limit of his pastorate OF
that church. Why compel church
to give up man who has demo1-
strated himself success, for nan
no may, as is often the case, DEM
Onstrate himself a failure Why
take a man away from a church
where he is succeeding, to appoint
him to church where he may fail,
as is not unfrequently the case ? Why
let a man remain in a community
until he has secured the respect and
friendship of large portion of the
people-and that influence that can
only come to minister after years
of faithful work and holy living, and
then send him away to givehis place
to total stranger-and Introduce
him as stranger in some other COM
munity There are many other
reasons that are present to the mind
of the writer which at some future
time he may present to the readers
of the hatelligencer.
One thing is certain, this is ques-
ton of vital Importance. 1t will
come before the next general Confer
ence, which meets in the month of
May next, in the city OF Philadel-
phia. Its adjustment may be push
ed off, but it cannot be pushed down.
Already some of the most talented of
the ministers of the church rather
than obey this cast iron rule have
withdrawn and entered the ministry
of other churches. And Methodism
feels this loss and cOnfesses it through
her press. Besides this, people are
weary of this everlasting change
one preacher to- day and another to-
morrow. The age certainly demands
a modification of some kind of this
memorable rule. 1t has been the
boast of Methodism from the begin
ming that her machinery was fexi-
BILE enough to be adjusted to meet
every emergency that may arise.
Here is an opportunity to make good
that boast. DION.

single pair of saddlebags, and when
the quantity increased so that two
pair had to be used the carriers re-
monstrated so loudly that the matter
became of considerable consequence.
To receive letter then was a great
event in neighborhood, since years
sometimes passed without a letter
being brought to country town, and
when one came it was signal for all
the neighborhood to come in and hear
it read. Letters often took six weeks
to 60 from Philadelphia to the couu-
try towns of Massachusetts, and dur
ing this time the carriers had abun-
dance of leisure to read them and get
their contents by heart, an opportu-
nifty they were not slow to use. There
was no law forbidding them to do
this, and as they enjoyed telling the
news they bore, and the people liked
to listen to them, this arrangement
was very satisfactory. This practice,
so abominable to those who CORE
sponded, continued for many years
until the number of letters and great
er expedition in their carriage pre-
vented the carriers from reading
them. For this reason the majority
of the public men correspondent in
cipher of some kind or other, a habit

1t is gratifying to read of there be-
ing less intemperance nearly every
where now than ever before. Lon
don used to be noticed for her drunk
enness. A correspondent now writes:
"It is estimated that at no previous
time have there been so many teeto-
tai divines in London. The recent
rapid strides of temperance move
ments are felt in various forms. 1
hear, for instance, that at the cafes
and dining-rooms the manages have
remarked that there has been less
alchoholic drink asked for during the
present month than in former years
at the same period"

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

NEW YORK, June Goth, 1883.
Judge Foraker's first speech in
the campaign has made him many
friends. He has been looked upon as
sort of man Friday of Charley
Fosters even by Republicans, but
his clear ideas and plain statements
have convinced both his own party
and the Democrats that in him the
Republicans have a good man, and
Judge Hoadley may we'll look to
himself. In his speech he did not
mince matters but openly expressed
himself in favor of protection to home
industries and of taxing the liquor
trade. The Republicans mean to
make an aggressive fight of it and as
both their platform and their ticket
are strong, there can scarcely be any
doubt of the result.
The tariff plank in the Democratic
platform of Ohio is a puzzler to
everybody. 1t says nothing and is
evidently intended to be construed
as something to suit all tastes. There
is scarcely doubt that the Demo,
Gratis are themselves getting afraid of
the free trade monster which they
have summoned and are now trying
to dodge the issue.
The Kentucky Republican State
Committee has issued vigorous adj
dress to the public in which the re-
suits of years of Democratic misrule
are scathingly reviewed. 1t is too
soon to expect a Republican victory
this year, but the plain facts which
are now being put before the people
of the Blue Grass State. can have but
one effect, heavy reduction of the
usual Democratic majority.
The Democrats in this State are at
it again. The different factions have
coalessed against Tammany Hall,
and they will unite with the party
throughout the State against the
wigwam. All that is necessary now
to make the fight general is that Tllden
60 to the front and openly announce
that he is a candidate for the Presi-
dency. Then we will see the fur fly
among the Democratic Kilkenny
cats.
The fight against the Trade Dollar
has broken out again, and wholesale
dealers are determined to force it out
of circulation. Grocers and other re-
tail dealers will be the heaviest suf-
ferers from this at first, because the
middle and lower classes with whom
they deal as a rule pay with trade
dollars. Factories and other large
concerns which employ a great num-
bers of men as rule pay with trade
dollars which they frequently buy at
discount and thus make money.
Now however working men are
growing awe 10 tnelr-lntereStS ana
declare that they will not in future
accept trade dollars in payment for
their wages. The hands of two lead
Ing cigar making firms notified their
employers on Thursday of this inten-
ton. and at other large places the men
will follow suit before the end of the
week.
Barrooms having exhausted every
other device to attract trade have hit
upon new one. In addition to the
free lunch and a fancy card they now
give you a button hole bouquet, for
which you have to pay five cents on
the street. People will soon come to
expect suit of clothes and a hat with
every drink.

The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1883-09-19

The account gwen elsewhere of the posi-
ton end views of eX Governor Hendricks
will be read with eager interest. He occu-
pies leading place in the Democratic party
he is one of the first statesmen in the cum
try. He rose to eminence in his profession
in Indiana, served the late with distinction
in Congress, was one of its most popular
Governors. aud as Senator gained Nation
al distinction. He was strongly urged as
candidate for President in 1868 and was the
first choice of a large proportion of the dele
gates al ST Lous in 1876, where hs was nomi
mated for Vics President against his wishes
ard Was with difficulty prevailed upon to &C.
cept the nomination. And elected by the
people BY quarter Of million votes, h.
shared the fsle of the head of the ticket by
being trsudulsntly robbed of the Office by a
series of Republican crimes without parallel
in history.
Mr.. Hendricks while on his way to attend
to al important law case in Connecticut, was
invited by Mr.. Tilden to visit Greystons.
Two or three points in their long and pleas
ant interview are made public. They are not
candidates for President and Vice President
They make no claim upon the American
Democracy. But they are bo' h mindful of
the TACT that there is a pronounced sentiment
in favor of the denomination of the old
ticket. TO right the great wrong done to the
people by the Republican managers en- 1876
q. And should this demand assume CON-
handing proportions and approach uniyer-
salty, Mr. Hendricks, for one. will not fee
free to decline his part of the burden and
responsibility and it is quite likely that Mr.
Tlden, though reluctant to serve as
candidate, would yield his preferences for
retirement and privacy. However that may
be there is no uncertainty in the position of
Nh Hendricks. who will take the stump in
Iowa week after next, and set forth in the
most emphatic terms the principles on which
the Den Ocratic campaign of 1854 is to be
wBged. These principles are fundamen 'al
Democracy of the Empire State responed
last year with majority of 1913 coo. They
strike the chords of true Democratic feeling
throughout the Union. And whether the
Democracy decide to make the crime of
1867 one OF the leading issues of the cam
paign or not, certainly no ADLER, worthier
lesder and champion of great party and
superlative cause can be found or desired
than Thomas q. Hendricks, of Indiana.
