A Severe Criticism.

CHICAGO, June 2.--In addition to the re-
turning OF an indictment against the county
undertaken for trafficking in the bodies of
the pauper dead, the grand jury to-day sub
mitted final report to the court in which a
very severe criticism was passed upon the
board of Cook county commissioners. The
report declares that the board caused the
compensation of the county undertaken to
be placed SO low as to be coifc usively inconsis-
tent, not only with the observance of the rules
of common decency, but also with the State
law. and the letting of the contract at these
rates for the burial of paupers amounted
merely to license to traffic in the dead The
reporteoncludes by asserting that this course
OF policy has made the board the object of
contempt in the eyes of its honorable con-
stituencyn

A Criticism of the journal.


To the Editor of the Indianapolis JOprnsa:
what is the matter with the JOurnalT'
This is the question asked by many old and
stanch friends of our home paper. We are
accustomed to expect of the Journal due
moderation as well as marked enterprise
We are therefore, little surprised to hear
that Anthony Comstock has 'swelled
head" but neither good sense nor ordinary
discretion" and is altogether possessed by
"the idea that he is fourth person in the
trinity" Joseph Cook gets his full share of
criticism for his mistakes, and it is well that
he is nobodys oracle. His assertions re-
garding newspapers will be received
simply as assertions as will also the
assertions of the Journal in the
ill-humOred editorials of June l and
June 3. implications regarding newspap ers
quite as damaging as Mr.. Cooks assertions
have recently appeared in the North Ameri-
can Review without provoking any such
rate deliverances. Possibly Mr.. Cook, by
his unqualified and unsupported assertions,
has put himself outside the pale of honora-
BILE controversy" but he has scarcely match
ed the Journals wholesale denunciation of
the New York Press as full of TIMETABLE
snobbery, ignorance and conceit" and con-
Quoted by "dudes" who are ''contemptibly
bigoted and selfish, marvelously ignorant,
conceited and impairment" This is almost
enough to prepare us to hear prohibitionsts
(including a large majority OF the ministers
of the State) characterized as marrow and
intolerant fanatics" J.N.B.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Presbyterianism and Prohibition.


To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
In yesterdays Journal you speak Of the
Presbyterian General Assembly declaring
against prohibition nsa distinctive measure"
etc., and call it wise and significant action"
You refer to it as "hailing with Joy and
thanks the efforts to check intemperance.
The resolution as passed by the Assembly is
as follows; 'In view of the evils wrought
by this scourge of our race, this Assembly
would hail with acclamations of joy and
thanksgiving the utter determination OF the
traffic in intoxicating liquors as a beverage
by the power of Christian conscience, public
opinion and the strong arm OF the civil law"
So far from declaring against prohibition"
was the Assembly that it declared for exter-
mination. If prohibition does not prohibit"
there need be no question as to the probable
effect OF northumberland this is what the
General Assembly wants, works for and would
welcome.
You were led to say that "the action of
the General Assembly is whole
some rebuke to narrow and intol-
Grant fanaticism which binders true
temperance reform more than any other one
thing. The "only narrow and intolerant
fanaticism" lebuked is that fanaticism dis
played by the opponents of temperance. We
admit its baneful influence in hindering true
temperance reform. Fanaticism is much
more frequently met with on the wrong
than on the right side. If temperance people
had little of the fanaticism displayed by
the liquor leagues there might soon be ex-
termination of the rum traffic.
The Assembly chose a good word. 1t is
better than prohibition. determination
does exterminate, The Assembly says IN its
| report not one word against prohibition.
You seek for it in vain. 1t had prolonged
discussion and came out with as strong res
olution as could well be written. The or
ganization of its permanent committee on
temperance two years ago was, as said in the
report adopted by this Assembly, the devel-
opment of sentiment Into determination
to organize her forces for final onset on
these powers of darkness"
Desiring that the General Assembly be not
misunderstood, L am, with great respect,
