The report recommends the passage Ct an
act providing that every newspaper contain
ing lottery advertisement shall be ruled out
of the mails. Although it is commended that lot
teries are not necessarily fraudulent" in the
legal sense, the postmaster general says:
estate laws cannot change the inherent
character of lottery, nor render that
mode of gambling less injurious 10 the public
morals, nor entitle its aiders and abettors to
use the mails as a means of promoting an en-
terprise which nearly every state IN the union
prohibits as criminal aAd the moral sense of
the nation condemns"
The question of postal telegraph he also
considers at length, setting forth the three
plans proposed The first two contemplate
thatthe government shall own and operate
the lines, including ali the necessary appaT-
atus; and the third that q company shall be
employed TO perform the required
service at a stipulated compensation.
Congress, he thinks. has the constitutional
power, in providing for the postal service of
the country, to avail itself of all the facili
ties devised by the inventive genins of mod
ern times for transmitting messages and in
telligencc, and that it has full authority tC
adopt either of the first two plans By what.
ever means the facilities are acquired,
full compensation, he says, must be made for
them But, as To congress having the power
to establish q company, lie thinks aeknowl-
edgement Of such power would imply the
right to build railroads. and, in view of the
immense political prestige which such cor
porations would beget, he hesitates to recon-
mend them.

BLAINE'S SCHEME.
What Is Thought OF it in Indiana-.-
Popular Among the Common
People, - Hendricks
aud Porter.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 4-The Blaine scheme
to distribute the whisky and tobacco tax to
the states has struck a popular chord hc"e
Two classes oppose it: his party enemies, be-
cause it did not originate with them, and
the free-taaders, who think they see in it
a covert scheme to continue tariff in some
shape. But the masses know that the tax is
paid by the consumers, and that all parts Of
the country contribute in about the Same
ratio based upon population The division
would obviate the collection of any S. ate tax
in Indiana, and would leave a sufficient sur

leading politician, and asked what he thought
of it.
''If there are no constitutional objections,
the scheme is the best which has ever been
offered. 1t will make the liquor and tobacco
pay for the schools the courts and prisoners,
and care for our unfortuRates in the asylums,
and after building the state house viii leave
state The tax is entirely voluntary, because
it is paid by the consumers, and the articles
taxed are Injuries. 1t has been practically
demonstrated that the removal of the tariff
on sugar, coffee and tea would not cheaper
those articles to consumers. The criminal
expenses resulting from the manufacture and
use of intoxicating liquors now fab upon the
states, and the general government now reaps
all the revenue This is not just think
this is a practical application of the Ohio
Scott law to every state in the Union. fany
state should prohibit tke manufacture and
sale of liquors, its per cent Of the revenue de
rived from that source could be given to the
other states. | like the scheme and
am certain the more it is discussed the more
practical and popular it will appear. / am
sorry it started with Blaine, because men viii
be apt to associate with his political aspifa-
tons. As | am Democrat, 1 can IN ior9e
the scheme and then find plenty of good
reasons why l should not vote for its
author"
Gov. Porter is opposed to the scheme on
the ground that at tends to centralization
and deprives the people of local self-govern-
ment' and u,tiInately destroys popular
liberty.
Gov Hendricks laughed when asked his
opinion of the scheme, and said
81 would like to know what Mr. Blaine is
driving at-would like to see his oh festive
point | thinl; it an adroit move on his part
to make the tariff and internal rerenue sys-
tenn leading questions in the next campaign,
and set trap for his unslEpecting enemies.
The proposition has its popular features, but
thinl, the sober sense of the people is not in
favor of the government enforcing a loan to
give away. l think we should not collect in
taxes any more money than we need
Among the business men, the farmers and
the middle classes, and poor people the idea
is popular, and if the question was submitted
to a popular vote now, it would receive an
| immense n8jortty here.

is caused in the village of Odessa by tho at
tempted abduction Of a young daughter of
Rev T. H. Macdonald, of the Methodist
church, by young man named Samuel Hill
Miss Macdonald was at church. but
was sent by the chorister to OBJ

parsonage. As she was returning Hill
stopped her, and by threats Of violence caused
her to accompany him a short distance up the
road where he had buggy waiting to drive
her off. He left her a moment to get the
horse, and she ran home and gave
an alarm. The service was broken
Off and the young man was followed
and arrested by the indignant father,
and five parishioners. A previous intimacy
had sprung up between the parties when Hill
was taking music lessons from Miss Macdon-
aid Her parents had forbidden him to CON
tinue his visits and he planned the abduc-
ton. Hill has been in trouble before, on
charges of perjury and theft He was corr

conventions at Chicago are most excellent"
How soon will you be able to say def

II think we shall be able to tell some time

pushed along as fast as possible, and a great

parties are favorable to Chicago All of
those we have heard from by letter
are convinced that Chicago is the very
best place for the purpose, not only pos
sessing all the advantages and accom-
modations, but being also more centrally
located. My private opinion rs that the
committee will succeed with all its plans
