dents messages:
THE Presidents message has made aremarka-
bly, pleasant Impression upon the country, and
the comments of the Democratic are hardly less
commendatory than those OF the Republican
press. This s due to TWO reasons-that the mes
sage is a simple and clear statement of the con-
dJlon of the country, and that it contains no p0-
lltical or partisan disquisiti"n. The fact that
such message is most Hitting for the sltuatlon
is gratifying tribute to the administration.
There is nothing to defend, or explain, or apollo
message reflects is of the Kind which is always
most satisfactory to the country"
And Frank Leslie's Weekly, with Democratic
instincts, says:
president Arthur's third annual message to
Congress on the business of the nation has been
generally commended by the newspaper press.
can read il through without increased respect
for the good sense and honest intentions of the
author. The Presidents state papers have all
been admirable There is no doubt that they
have done much to raise him in the estimation
of the public. This document, like the regular,
special and veto mtssages which have preceded
it. carries internal evidence of Mr. Arthur's
thorough and Independent study of the leading
questions discussed, not less than OF his prudent
and conservative Judgment. Tue President
thinks for himself ana forms his own con-
illusions, and his iutelli gent, quick appreciation
of the needs of the public service has more than
once surprised those who were disposed to pic

But 1t must not be forgotten that 1t was "eolOr-
less" The English press said so. and that set

TIE New York Times, noting the filing of

execution onght TO follow at once. In no other
civilized country Is such delay practicable as
in this. For the class who most need tile terror
of the death penalty that terror is very much
diminished by being reduced to chance that II

A PAPER WITH A PURE TONE.

PAPER WITH A PURE TONE
Peru Republican.
The Indianapolis Journal stands at the
head of the Indiana State press. Its editori-
ais are terse and trenchant. Its city denart-
ment contai MS all the local news that is
worth printing, emitting scandals and vulgar
sensations The tone OF the paper is pure;
the arrangement of its matter methodcal,
and altogether 1t is such newspaper as may
safely aud probably be read at home.
A SAFE FAMILY PAPER.
Goshen Times.
The Journal is one of those papers that
can be admitted into the family with safety.
It's moral tone is unexceptionable, it is on
the right side of politics, its news embraces
the current events in condensed form, and
editorially it is all that can be desired. In
dianians who want to take weekly in addi-
ton to their county paper, cannot do better
than subscribe for the Journal.
ONLY METROPOLITAN PAPER IN THE STATE
North Manchester Journal.
The indianapolis Journal is the only truly
metropolitan paper published in the State

man.
GOOD WORK FOR DEcENCY AND MORALITY.
New Castle Courier.
The indianapolis Journal is getting in
some good work for decency and morality,
honesty and candor In business When it
gets entirely over the fence and begins to
hammer for prohibition, as it will even
tually, it will be wholly right.
AWAKE AND RELIABLE
Anderson Herald.
That the Indianapolis Journal is the lead

How very, very naughty and tickle the girls
are getting to be. Only last week story came
from Baltimore about young woman who had
agreed to marry two young men the same
day. She took the first who arrived and was
pursued by the other, who came just a little
later-just little too late for his own satisfac-
ton. Baltimore society is again agitated by
similar case. Miss Susie Campbell, daughter of
a wealthy merchant was engaged to marry Mr..
Bolton, of the same city. Mr.. Bolton had built
a house for his expected bride and put SO 800
worth of furniture in 1t; but the young woman
evidently looked upon the house as a cage, for
the day before she TO become Mrs. Bolton
she bolted with another lover and married him.
All the parties, we told, ''move IN the high
est circles which makes it all the gloomier
for the man who is left to swing around alone
The same sort OF affair has happened at st.
Paris, o. Miss Snapp, young heiress of that
town, promised to marry Mr. Weants in year.
Mr. Weants went West and came back the other
day, when the year was up, only TO find that
Miss Snapp had not cared the snap Of her finger
for him and had married another man. Because
he can't get the heiress, Mr.. Weants feels ag-
grieved in his pocket and wants to be soothed
with $4,000, for which amount he has brought
suit.
