How often we complain of our government
without reaSonl Great Britain has a territory
of 13l 900 square miles TO guard and watch;
the United States, 5000, 900 square miles. To
collect the internal revenue over these areas
Great Britain employs 3, 965 officials and other
persons, at a cost of about $40, 000 600 yearly.
We employ, to watch territory thirty times
as large. only T. 098 persons, and the total cost
of collecting the internal revenue is $5,113,
$50. For the current year the number of
persons employed will be still smaller and
the expense less. To watch its little
coast line and collect duties
on imports, Great Britain employs 5 223
officials and other persons, and the cost of
collection is about $4,000 600. To watch
coast-line many times as long, our govern
ment spends in collection of customs only
Sc, 100000. We collect $214, 700, 600 from Gus
toms, at a cost of about cents for every dol
lar collected. Great Britain collects $9S 30O,-
900 from customs, at a cost of about cents
for every dollar collected. We collect $144,-
700, 900 internal revenue, at a cost of only 81
cents on the dollar, though the territory to
be guarded is thirty times that of Great Brit
ain. but the British internal revenue is $267,-
$4,000, collected at cost of 81 cents on the
dollar. Perhaps it would be as well not to
abuse our own administration of affairs so
often.

THE GRAPHIC TROUBLES.

New York Mail and Express.

Eeged True lnwardness,
New York Mail and Express
The service of a winding-up order on the
New York Graphic Company, and the levy
ing OF an attachment for $25 900 damages has
caused slight Hurry in newspaper circles.
A reporter for the Mail and Express called
upon Mr. James w. Hinckey the managing
director OF the company, this morning. and
found him in conference with three other di-
rectors. Neither the order nor the attach
ment will affect the paper to the extent of
stopping the publication of single edition"
he said. I'VE do not owe the amount claimed
by those who obtained the attachment, and
will have no difficulty in setting it aside.
An attachment against a foreign corpora
ton the head office of this paper being in
Montreal, is easily obtanable by any one
willing to swear to claim, whether he has
one or not. As to Brown, who claims S25,-
900 for services and damages, he was our Chi
cago agent and we dismissed him. He has
not yet rendered an accounting, and de-
ticency of $4,000 or 1900 remains uneK-
planned by him. l have no doubt that this
thing is the outcome of his dismissal. He
will have trouble proving a claim of twenty
five cents against u.s. We have no other liza
bilities We cannot meet. Our affairs are in
healthy condition"
At this juncture gentleman present I'M
qualifedy exclaimed The secret of this
whole business is that Brown and the Good
sells have joined issue to recover control of

The Republican Party and Protection.

Northern Indanian- Republican.
Both General Tom Browne and Major VIM.
H Calkins, both Republican members of
Congress from this State, did on one occasion
take stand on the tariff question directly
opposite to that occupied by the Republican
party not only of the country, but of In
diana in particular. No one question is
more definitely settled, we think, than that
at the last moment the Republican party
carried the last election in this State from
the position it took on the important tariff
question. y The Republican party is
a protective party, and this is so well under
stood that those who place themselves in OPP
position to this great principle are occupy
ing position hostile to that party and its
plainly expressed views in the country.
This the Indianian- Republican firmly be-
lieves, and it is matter of necessity in the
approaching election that this plain point be
we'll understood.

other unfortunate countries which have fall

will not plead in vain, but will come back
loaded with blood money with which to de-
feat the tin-bucket brigade of the North by
the purchase of "mules" and cattle, while the
chivalry of the South will undertake to sup
press the riotous negro and carry the polls
by the shotgun and six-shooter.

The Government and the Telegraph.

The day is not far distant when the gov
eminent will control a few if not all the tele-
graph lines in the country. The treatment
which the employees of the Western Union
received at the hands of'that company in the
recent strike created a feeling against this
the most grinding monopoly in the land. 1t
and the people, we dare say, will soon rise
in the might of their power and say thus far
shalt thou come but no farther, Jay Gould
and his cohorts to the contrary notwith-
standing.

No prudent man is going to venture his

The possibility of Democratic success next

to dispute, that nearly every criminal sent
from this county to the penitentary during
the past twenty years was led to his crime
by strong drink. OF course the law tolerates

it must be sold, but we trust that the people
will consider that they are not obliged to
starve their children and murder their fell
lowctizens in order to support the liquor

Even looking at the subject as presenting
the "paternal" and "centralizine" phases OF
the question in their most obnoxious form
and this is all there is in the argument OF the

a cheap, easy and rapid method of communi
cation would vastly outweigh all such OBJ

John Anderson and His Postal Telegraph
DeKalb Republican

John Anderson, of Kansas will again be
heard from this session in regard to postal
telegraph. He will not concern himself
about the opinions of the Postmaster-general
on the subject; he thinks he is right and will
fight it out on that line. We wish him sue
cess. 1t is time that a person can go to the
postoffice and choose his mode of sending a
message. It will require TO more help in
the postal service TO give the public this priv
ilege, and will take the lines out of the
hands of an INSCRIPTIONS monopoly.

81, 900 reward to any mob who
will lynch a white man for murder
ing a negro in the south, or for
outraging negro woman in the
south. The daily lynching of
negroes in the south is like the
handle of a jug-all on one side
and Just to vary the monotony,
and for a refreshing change, | will
send the above amount to any en-
terprising southern mon who will
change the programe for once, and
give one Of their white murderers
a piece of rope. | would suggest
that the county sheriff where the
mob operates, should be elected
captain of the mob, and authorized
to draw on me for 81, 900.

The blood Is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
Of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the oniy sure and quick way to drive
n out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.

What Voices Indicate.

There are light, quick surface
voices that seem involuntarily to !
utter the slang 81 don't want to |
tie to-" This mans word may as
sure you of his strength of pur-
pose and reliability; his tone con-
tradicts his speech.
Then there is the low, strong,
deep voice, where the words seem
ground as if the man owed human
ity grudge and meant to pay 1t
some day. The mans opponents
may well tremble, and his friends
may trust his strength Of purpose
and ability to act.
There Is the course, boisterous,
dictatorial tone, invariably adopted
by vulgar persons who have not
cultivation sufficient To understand
their own insignifcsuce.
There is the incredulouS voice
that is full of a covert sneer or a
"You-can't-dupe-me-sir" air.
There is the whining, beseech-
ing voice that says "sycophant' as
plainly as if it uttered the word.
1t ssjoles and 6atters you, its words
say, 81 love you, ] admire you;
you are everything that you should
be-"
There is the tender, musical,
compassionate voice, that some
times goes with sharp features (as
they indicate merely intensity OF
feeling) and sometimes blunt fea-
lures, but always with genuine
benevolence.
If you are full Of affection
and pretense, your voice procialms
it.
If you are full of honesty.
strength and purpose, your voice
proclaims it.
If you are cold, calm, firm and
consistent, or foolish, tickle snC
deceptive, your voice will il
either case be equally truth-tell
ing.
You cannot change your voice
from a natural tone without it:
being known you are doing so.
