THE heart of the nation should be wrung
with anguish over the prospect that the over
worked department clerk may possibly be
compelled to add another hour to mis- task.
As it is now the department clerk must
work as much as five or six hours, with only
one hour intermission at noon. He must be
at his desk promptly at 8 o'clock in the
morning and cannot leave it before or 4
o'clock in the afternoon, while not oltener
than once a month he has from one to three
days vacation, and then ten days in the sum-
mer time. Workingmen who have to get up
at and clock, and do not get home again
until 7, and people who have to work in their
offices from twelve TO fourteen hours day
should be paralyzed at the awful peril OF the
department clerk.

THE temper and appetite of the Democratic
party were well evidenced in the shameful
and shame IS vote on the bill concerning
the Knightstown institutons-the Soldiers
Orphans Home and the Institute for the
Predetermined. In the unhallowed grab
md greed for Office for party workers, the
Democratic majority has not had the decency
to keep hands off such State charities as the
care for soldiers orphans and feeble-minded
children. The whole purpose and object of
the hungry horde was to raise the salary of
trusteeships from $3.50 to $500 a year. Demo-
Gratis could not be content with what a trus-
tee. on the floor of the Senate, stated was
ample compensation for the work involved,
Senator Spann righteously and Indignantly

IN his speech at the New York protection

or for the advantage of foreign nations"

License Does Not Favor but Controls

Steuben county Journal.
Iuasmuch as prohibition is impossible in
Indiana for several years high license law
will give the most satisfaction. We are
averse to licensing an evil if thereby encour-
agement is given it. But to license the
liquor traffic is not to favor it but merely to
keep it under control, to regulate it. Let us
have a change in the license law, and in all
faith await the time when the people shall
have the privilege of declaring either for CIR
against prohibition.

PART l of the catalogue of the Indianapolis
Public Library, so long in preparation, has been
issued. 1t consists of 224 pages, and embraces
the first five letters of the alphabet. The ar
rangement is admirable, and the Typography
very clear and legible. The entries are made on
the dictionary plan. that is, authors, titles and
subjects are mingled 10 one alphabet, and are to
be sought for as they would be in a dictionary
The various books entered by title, by names
of authors when known, by initials, and in cases
where the nom de plume is well known the
pseudonym will be given. In this manner there
need be little difficulty in finding any work or
the works of any certain author. In addition to
these conveniences, works are entered by sub
ect titles, as for example, there fifteen col
umns of book titles under the title Drama. -
Under the title "Bible" there are thirteen COL
umns of titles, under England" eight columns,
and under Europe" six columns. The new
catalogue will find enthusiastic welcome
awaiting it, and will greatly facilitate the pro-
cess of finding any desired book.
