THE Washington Post is grieved because

turning out its subordinate officers who are
Democrats, and replacing them with Repub-
leans The Post closes its exhortation to
senators to pause and beware before assuming
such responsibility, with the melancholy
truism that it is a simple thing to leap the
Rubicon, but very difficult thing to recross
it. Yes, it is undoubtedly sad fact that
these Democratic officers will have a sorry
time in trying to get back.

THERE is a rebellion among the telephone
subscribers at Terre Haute. They demand
reduction in the terms to So a month for
ousiness-houses, aud So for residences. If
this concession is not granted nearly all the
users have signed an agreement to throw
their phones out on the 1st of January next.
The telephone company offers a compromise
at 81 a month for business houses and So for
residences. In indianapolis the charge
is So a month, whether for business
or private houses The inquiry is provoked
how Terre Haute can be profitably served at
81 and So a month, while Indianapolis with
a much larger number of instruments, and
presumably reduced ratio oil expenses is
charged S. month all around. The te1e-
phone is but in its infancy as a convenience,
but it is very full grown as to cost.

THE romanoes of the war are not all ended
yet. Over twenty years ago Margaret Zrh
lived with her husband and six sons in little
New Jersey town. The husband aud four of the
sons enlisted In the army, the fifth went away
from home to seek work, and the youngest was
left with his mother. He did not remain long,
but ran away, after ward sending word to his
brothers that their mother was dead The father
was killed soon after his enlistment, and after
the war closed the boys became scattered far
and wide. Mrs. Il, unable to hear from her
sons, and not knowing that any were alive,
came to Jersey City, where for years she has
earned a scanty livelihood by sewing. She
seemed wrapped up in her own affairs and sor-
rows, and her neighbors knew litt'e about her.
Last week middle-aged man, with the appear
ance of being respectable aud we'll to do came
in search of her. and proved to be one of the six
sons The youngest one, who had told the story
of her death, had written from the West, in a
fit of repentance, that she was probably living,
and search for the lost m otberwas at once 1Oe-
gun. The other sons are all alive and prosp per-

We find the following paragraph in the
Shelbyville Democrat

WE md the following paragraph In the
Shelbyville Democrat:
Every few days we see n foolish statement
in the Indianapolis papers that the police
commissioners have met to consider a policy
to be adopted touching the saloons. This is
supreme nonsense, as we have a statute on
the subject which cannot be amended by the
board. We have seen enough of this higher
law tomfoolery. If the liquor law, for pru-
Dental reasons, is not to be strictly enforced,
the superintendent should say so without
these nightly meetings being called. The
liquor law never was enforced in that city,
and it never will be-; then why all these
meetings, unless they are for the purpose OF
putting clubs into the hands of the Repu Bill
can pa pers to beat Democrats over the head
with. We would advise the superintendent
to pay less attention to saloons and more to
thieves and criminals who infest that city,"
The comment of. the Democrat is wise
one, from party point of view, as well as
upon general principles. 1t is to the last de-
gree demoraizing to see the police board
composed of three of our very best
and most prominent citizens and business
men, men who have registered oaths that, so
far as they may be able, they will see the laws
executed, meet solemnly together for con-
sultation as to how the statutes may be
evaded with the greatest ease and certainty
by persons engaged in the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors. There is no law that we
know of that compels liquor saloon to
close at II O'Clock or on Sunday; the prohi-
bition is against the sale of liquor after IL
o'clock and on Sundays. We appreciate the
great difficulty any police force would meet
in a city like Indianapolis. with four
hundred saloons, in preventing the sale
OF liquor after II O'Clock, and we recog-
nize the difficulty there is in making case
against saloon man for violation OF the
law, in view of the decisions of courts which
have construed every possible doubt and
technicality in favor of the aw-breaker and
against society. But the point we make is
that there is absolutely no color OF law what
ever for the ~ o'clock order, or the "higher
law" OF the ex-superintendent of police,
which is still in vogue by permission of the
board. This regulation means that saloon
keepers may not only keep their saloons
open, but tbat7they may sell liquor until ~
o'clock, which is a square, unequiyocal vio-

MRS. KILGoRE, a lawyer of Philadelphia, has
been refused permission to practice in one of lhe
courts OF that city on the ground as stated by
the Judge, that married women under the laws
of that State are permitted to carry many
frauds in ordinary life that it is inadvisable to
extend their privileges by making lawyers of
them. This ruling probably exasperates Mrs.
Kgore. but she may congratulate herself that
none of tho extraordinary arguments were
brought against her wlMeh prevailed to exclude
Miss Lydia Poet from the italian bar Miss
Poet was duly qualified, but was refused admit

fashion often imposes npon womea would i'm

balance of justice leaned to the side of prisoner
defended by pretty female advocate the judges
would be exposed to suspicion and -oaumny."

Spectators have contributed one million
dollars to the Chicago gamblers since last
spring, and, with clipper air, says:
"A at must have been futures by which our
Indianapolis friends were bitten. 1t is rep
resented that in consequence of the local
failures incident to this kind of deal the
money market around Indianapolis is tight,
and it is even intimated that 81 900, 600 has
been left in Chicago by Indiana spectators.
The best advice we can give to our Indiana
friends, under the circumstances, is that
which the matured matron gave to her
charming daughter on the interesting ques-
ton whether the former would allow the
latter to go out to swim:
Oh yes, my charming daughter;
just hang Your clothes a hickory limb.
Butdon't go near the water.
eff the people of Indiana want to speculate
in grain they had better come to Chicago
and get an inside knowledge of the markets.
By knowing in advance exactly how the
price will go they will avoid these petty dis
comftures."
1t is not uncommon, we believe, for gam
blers who play with marked cards and loaded
dice to laugh at the men they have willfully
and criminally robbed. So we might very
properly expect just such brutal comment
as this from Chicago The Inter Ocean ae-
knowledges that the Chicago "dealers" know
in advance how the prices will go, which is
the same knowledge in kind as is possessed
by the dealer in brace faro, the
dealer of loaded dice and the dealer
in three-card monte. This fact is what we
have endeavored to impress upon the minds
of the silly fools who buy Chicago futures"
on margins They are dealing with dishon-
orable scoundrels, in no whit more honest
than the brace faro man and the monte gam
bers, and the Inter Ocean furnishes proof of
it. The time is coming, and is not far dis
tant, when Indianians will heed the
advice of the matron, and will not go
near the disreputable hell-holes in which
Chicago futures" are sold, be they the pala-
tial Board of Trade or the less pretentious
Exchanges" and bucket-shops.
But it might be we'll for the Inter Ocean to
save some of its sneers for its own default
ing city treasurers who have stolen hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. and for the
presidents of banks and the vice-presidents
of the Board of Trade, who have died by
their own hands because of disgrace and
ruin growing out of futures and margin
gambling. Not all the losses, or the misery
and the crime OF this infamous thievery
called Cuisines" in Chicago is confined to
outsiders There are victims by the scores
and hundreds in Chicago itself. We COM
mend to the Inter Ocean the task OF looking
them up. 80

One Great Secret Of Health and
Happiness.

For forty years l have been interested in
health subjects. My conviction that our
earthly happiness depends on health grows
stronger every year. Riches and fame give
a momentary thrill, but substantial happiness
depends upon the health Of our bodies.
This platitude few persons will challenge.
Ill health is well nigh universal in Amer
lea. We possess working force, but we lack
tone and vitality; our stomachs and nerves
are "little off, We should look long TO
find one person whose health is perfect,
whose breath is sweet, whose tone is as quiet
ami complete as the animals enjoy. The
birds. the squirrels, the cows, are well; we
are sick. In company of the persons of
ordinary intelligence, ask the cause of this
unsatisfactory condition of our bodies. The
answers will be many and various. One will
say think it comes of this mad pursuit of
wealth." Another will contend that we are
sick and unhappy because of our wickedness
and lack of faith; another will attribute our
nervousness to tobacco, coffee, tea and late
hours; another will trace our lack Of health
to overwork. have no doubt these all hurt
us, but after many years Of observation and
thought, believe the great source Of i'll
health is to be found in our food. II could
prescribe the food of the people, I could
greatly lesson the bills of mortality add
more than ten years to the length OF life, and
contribute immeasurably to our happiness.
