eagerness. The November victories democrat
lied discipline The faithful broke ranks
to make grand rush upon the rich fields
of the promised land. The Pendleton bill
came up in the regular order of bust
ness, but the 'hurrah boys" of the party
handicapping themselves by civil-servce
laws intended to govern Republicans. Pen
dleton had to stand by it, of course, for it
was his measure, and other consistent Demo-
Gratis could not disown it, for they had long
been crying in the wilderness for just such
legislation. Republicans favored Il, as they
favor anything looking to the practical puri-
fication of the public service. 1t was the
chance of a political party's lifetime to at
test its sincerity of purpose, and this meas
ure should have received the solid support
of the Democratic party. 1t would I'M
doubtedly have received nearly or quite
such Endorsement had the vote been taken
before the fall elections. As it was,
with no desire to hamper their own sweet
in 1885, large majority of that party attested
l-er disapproval of reformatory measures
by voting against the Pendleton bill, while
the Republicans voted almost solidiy for it.
Il is not to be wondered that the tidal wave
of 1882 is already receding. Minor elections
everywhere have given unmistakable evil
dence that the people are satisfied that they
must look to the Republican party for all re-
forms in legislation and in the civil service.
In the same manner that Democrats in Con-
gress have belied their professions of a desire
for civil-service reform has the Democratic
Legislature of Indiana proved itself
recreant to its partys professed principles
Once in control, it forgets It's pledges to the
people and employs the public offices to re-
ward Its supporting bummers and ward
politicians. Even the public institutions of
the State-the asylums and hospitals-are
made to serve party ends. Fitness for the
various positions is not thought OF, and the
control of these great interests is to be
farmed out to party retainers with utter dis
regard of qualification. Such is Democracy
ascendant-in Washington, in indianapolis,
everywhere. The pledges in their platforms
and professions of their speakers are simply
a shrewdly-devised system of false pretenses
by which to gain votes. The characteristics
of Democracy are insincerity greed and in
capacity. 1t has been so from the beginning.
1t will be so to the end.

THE support which the nominees of the next
national convention will get will depend far

terms OF the call of the commttee.-New York

MIR. HEFFREN's QUESTION,

Response to the Senator's Inquiry "What
Are You Going to Do About IT,"
Saturday People
We look upon the above as an exceedingly
lame and impotent conclusion on the part of
Horace Heffren. The man that robs your
hen-roost might with great deal more pro-
priety ask you, "What are you going to do
ABOUT ltF' Here is man, one of our law
makers, who, according to the Warsaw
Times, confessed before court that he was
one of ten deputed to take the life Governor
Morton when our soldiers were battling for
the preservation of the Union, and when he
is charged Herewith and other reasonable
offenses, wants to know what are you going
to do about it?'
He is not only charged with being traitor
to his country, but also traitor to traitors
He ''peached' on his fellows, and in order
to save his own neck, put the necks of others
in jeopardy by disclosing their plans for an
uprising, the seizure of Camp Morton and
the murder of the Governor. And when he
is charged with thus being double traitor
he wants to know What are you going to do
about it?" In other countries, his head
would probably pay the penalty for such in
discretion, to call it by no harsher term.
Mr.. Heffren boasts that the Democracy was
so ground in him by his Imprisonment that
| it permeated his whole system, and caused
him to increase his weight from $50 pounds
to 800. If conspiring to overthrow this gov
eminent to seize Union camp and murder
a Governor-and he. too a Northern man
is what he calls Democracy, we don't want
any of it,
Talk about Stealeys rebel yell that was to
be given at the Marion county two-million-
dollar courthouse in case the Democratic
ticket was successful-why, it ISM patchin'
to this "What are you going to about it?'i
of Horace Heffren. The Democracy did
very foolish thing when they sent
Heffren to make laws for us, His What
are you going to do about it?" will lose the
State thousands of Democratic votes at the
next election as Stealeys "rebel yell' lost it
thousands at the late elections. Though
nearly two decades have passed since the
successful close of the war for the Union the
time has not yet come when a Northern
traitor who conspired to murder and rapine
can stand in the halls of legislation and, adj
hitting the charges against him to be true,
defiantly ask, What are you going to do
about it@' Such a man should be turned
out neck and heels, his 800 pounds weight OF
Democracy and ALL from the halls of legisla-
| ton.
The Democratic members of the Legisla.
ture owe it to themselves to condemn in no
stinted terms Horace Hefrens utterance.
and if they do not do this we wouldn't give
nickel for their chances at the next State or
presidential election, while the Mcdonald
boom will have gone glimmering before it has
got fairly under way.

NEEDED LEGISLATION.

As yet the Legislature has taken no steps
offices of this city with those of Marion
county. There is more unanimity upon this
subject among our citizens than upon any
other which will probably come before the
Legislature. 1t may be said that our people
are almost to a man for it. The Board of
Trade-a body composed of our leading
business men-has resolved in its favor, and
the city press, for once, is agreed. The few
persons opposed to such legislation are not
found among those who pay taxes to any
amount.
1t seems to us hardly necessary to argue
this question, as but little, if anything, can
be urged against it. We will, however, give
some of the reasons why we favor consolida-
ting the offices named.
There is no sense in paying twice for the
same work. The city and township assess.
ments are practically the same. The city as
SCISSOR appoints the deputies of the township
assessor his deputies, and vice versa. At least
suppose it still is. The deputy comes along
about the LIST of April and leaves couple of
blanks. just alike-except the heading
one of them being for the city
and the other for the county.
After awhile he returns and gathers the
blanks, taking one of them to the city as
SCISSORS Office aud the other to the Office of
the township assessor. The city pays him
for one and the county for the other
| double pay for the same work. Two tax
duplicates are made from these returns
double work again, and consequently double
pay And then, when taxpaying comes, the
trouble of the present law is painfully APP
parent The taxpayer must run the gauntlet
twice-oncc at the office OF the city treasurer,
and once at that of the county treasurer. If
he has lived elsewhere, and been in the habit
of paying all his taxes at one place, he is apt,
after paying once to go away, thinking he
has discharged all his public dues. But
after awhile he sees his property advertised
for sale, and is forced to pay not only the
original taxes, but also costs and damages.
Could he. have paid all his taxes at one
Office he would have saved these onerous
charges, and the city and State had their
money at the proper time.
We hope the Legislature will take cog
/! nizance of this matter at once and give the
people this much-needed relief
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1883-01-22

The Cooperative Dress Association, of New
York, under the direction of Kate Field, went
to the wall but that was no evidence that
women are not good managers or competent
to do for themselves. Last spring an associa-
ton OF manufact urers and male operatives,
members of unions il shoe factories, was
formed at Cincinnati for the purpose of arbi-
trating the labor and wages question. This
organization fixed the prices at an advance
for the first six months OF the current year,
by which arrangement some 1000 female EN-
ployes were left out in the cold. This was
more than they proposed to submit to- so
they have now perfected an association Of
their own, and demand corresponding in
crease of wages, naming strike as the alter
native. There is something like business in
this, and it is to be hoped that justice will be
accorded them. When the women of
America learn how to cooperate to compel
fair treatment at the hands Of their employ
ers, one grave feature of the woman question
will have been solved. The male employees
who ''flocked to themselves in forming their
association ought to be obliged to flock"
alone all their natural days.

PREACHER, CLOWN AND LIAR.



the Pastor and u Trustee.
Troy IN. Y } Special.
In the Baptist Church at Hartford village
near Troy, there were some very exciting
scenes yesterday afternoon. A meeting OF
the congregation was in progress and among
those present were the pastor, the Rev. A. A.
Watson, and Ephraim Northrop a trustee.
The question of paying the church debt
was under consideration; when Northrup
suddenly exclaimed ''If subscribe anything
it will be for the support of a Baptist minis
ter" The pastor Immediately inquired:
What do you call me? A Methodist minis
ter?" Northrup replied: II call you no
minister at all. You do not conduct
yourself like one. If want to see clown
l will go to a circus" Watson angrily
shouted, "You can see a good clown any day
by facing a looking-glass." The meeting was
in an uproar, and the disorder was intensified
by Northrup saying when Watson is taken
from that pulpit | will bear my share of the
expense. A man who takes another mans
wife out riding after dark l don't want to
hear preach" The congregation was dis
missed, and Watson and Northrup continued
the alteration in the church. Northrup
called Watson a liar, and Watson called
Northrup a liar. Both proceeded to the door
of the edifce, shaking their fists in each
others faces. Just as blows were about to
be dealt the men were separated 1t is al
legged that both used the vilest of language,
and the community is indignant

outside the secret counsels of the party can
guess. 1t may not be assassination but il
must be something of great moment. To
make the case more marked the Senate is
listening or pretending to listen to a contest
for the seat of Mr. Overstreet, man hon

near New York, and all on board but one
lost. On Saturday a passenger train
on the Southern Pacific became I'M
manageable, and ran with great speed down
a grade TO the distance of several miles,
when five of the cars were derailed and
totally wrecked and burned, entailing a loss
of about twenty lives. During the three
weeks that have elapsed since New Years it
is safe to say that nearly or quite a thousand
lives have been lost by accident in various
parts OF the world. Among the more noted
catastrophes are the burning of three hotels,
the partial burning of another, the sinking
of two large steamships, the burning of a
circus, the explosion of a powder manufac-
tory, and other minor accidents that swell
the list to dreadful proportions. What with
numerous earthquakes beneath our feet and
meteors flying through the air, the outlook
for 1888 if portentous
