B1sHop IRELAND, of ST. Paul, produced a
deep impression in Chicago by his recent
temperance lecture there. The Chicago
papers are full of it. The point was that
unless the king alcohol is forced to surren-
der his scepter the republic will be mem
ory of the past. The immediate political
reform in dealing with this question, Is to
restrict within due limits by a high license
system. the sale of alcohol. He hoped
that it would become questionable to
drink or tempt others to drink, and that in
an especial measure it would become a dis
grace for an Irishman to enter saloon or
keep a saloon. OF all men in America,
the Irishman should hate whisky the
most; six months total abstinence would
pay the debts Of all the churches in
America. But it is not Irishmen alone that
need to practice temperance in America.
No people need so much to cultivate So
briefly as Americans, yet America took
rank among the Incorporate nations of
the world.
An old and curious oath is the following:
Mr.. B. E. Hoffman, while searching the
records at Chester, H., found on the Gree
ord Book of John Todd, County Lieuten-
ant and Commandant of Illinois, at

oath taken by Capt. James Moore: Il
do swear on the holy evangelists of Al
mighty God that 1 renounce all fidelity to
George the third, king of Great Britain,
his heirs and successors, and that will bear
true allegiance to the United States of
America, as free and independent as de-
clared by congress, and that Twill not do
nor cause to be done any matter or thing
that may be injurious or prejudicial to the
of said states, and that 1
will make known to some one justice OF
the peace, for the United States, all trea-
sons, all treacherous conspiracies which

them. So help me God.

An Unusually Brilliant Round of Dinner
Parties and Receptions.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 2S.-The week Just past
has been such a brilliant one in the society
world, and SO crowded with social events,
that even the jewellers themselves can scarce
keep account of them. Three and four en-
tertainments in single evening taxed the
strength of even the most active society men,
and both maids and matrons, when Satur-
day night came. had assumed an appearance
suggestive of rest needed. Quiet residents in
fashionable neighborhoods look forward to
the Lenten season with a sense of relief.
During the past week but little rest has been
accorded them. The rattling of carriages
driven rapidly through the streets, the slam
ming OF carriage doors and the bawling of
peoples names by the Jehus has been enough
to cause all pious citizens who are mot in
society" to anathematize all who are
Among the notable events have been the
following: On Tuesday evening, Mrs. Sena-
tor Hill entertained guests at dinner; on
Wednesday evening, General and Mrs. Ha-
zen gave handsome dinner in honor of Mr.
and Mrs. Mclean, of Cincinnati; Hon. John
B. Alley gave dinner to Senator Hoar and
the Massachusetts delegation in Congress-
and the President gave his an
nual dinner TO the diplomatic corps; on
Thursday evening, Senator Hoar returned
the compliment of his friend by a grand
banquet at Wormley's, and Senator Bayard
entertained a Boston wedding party at din
ner. On Friday Mrs. Frelinghuyseu gave q
several members OF the diplomatic corps and
few ladies; Senator Miller gave dinner to
the President and cabinet, and Judge Ban
croft Davis entertained large dinner COM
pauy. The weeks record of dinners was
closed by the grand banquet to the Marquis
OF Lorne at the White House last evening
and the entertainment given by the Chinese
minister at the Chinese legation, which lat
ter in all its Details is said to have been one
of the most elaborate and costly of all the
entertainments OF the present exceptionally
social season. The reception which the Mar
quis of Lorne has met has been q fiatterng
one, and His Lordship is said to be highly
impressed. Tomorrow evening he will be
entertained at dinner by General Sherman,
the guests including President Arthur and

The Whole of the Coming Week to Be De-
voted Tariff Discussion.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The coming week
in Congress bids fair to be turning point in
the legislation of Congress. Both houses
have determined to devote the entire week
to the tariff discussion, and the Republicans
are now thoroughly in earnest and more
nearly in harmony with each other than at
any previous time since the discussion
began. In the House. the Republicans have
planted themselves fairly, squarely and
manfully on true Republican ground-the
dignity of American labor and the protec-
tion of American industries. The speeches
of the past two days have in them the true
ring and are bristling with arguments that
should go to the people.
Wednesday next is assigned for the deliv-
cry of eulogies upon the late Godlove S. Orth.
Representatives Browne, Peelle, Peirce,
and others will take part. Several of the
Indiana representatives are also preparing to
take an active part in the tariff discussion
with which the week will be enlivened.

The Coming Trial of the Ashland Murderers

FRANKFoRT, KY, Jan. 27.-Though this
statement is not official, still it may be
considered authority in the announcement
that troops will be sent to Carter county next
Monday week to protect the prisoners, Neal
and Craft 1t is not known what companies
will be called into service but as the division
soon to be organized into the second regi-
ment has been greatly augmented in num-
bers since the Catlettsburg expedition, it is
thought the Louisville boys will not be
needed. A section of the artillery, however.
is likely to be called for, and may be part
of the infantry, if sufficient force can not
be obtained from the second regiment. AS
the Governor has always said, it is his inten-
ton to see that the law is not violated, and
that Neal and Craft have a fair trial by jury
ii it requires the usiering of 1000 men
into active service. Ammunition has ar
rived, and other supplies are now being
looked after preparatory to request from
Judge Brown.

he bought number of bills of goods, to the

he was not the man of that name whom he
represented himself to be, and who has a
store in Minneapolis. He is held without a
definite charge, pending discovery as to the
value of the checks given. A telegram was
received from Milwaukee asking the police
to hold him, as it is believed he is a man
who fraudulently collected money there as
a Newhall House sufferer. The prisoner
says he did not intend to take the goods, but
played merchant in order to get drummers to
take him around the city and show him the

BEER AND ROUND DANCES.
A Letter from Catholic Bishop Forbidding
Indulgence In These Luxuries.

WHEELING. W. Va, JAN 2S.-A letter of
condemnation from Right Rev. John ]. Kahn,
Bishop of Wheeling, against the knights of
st. John, a German Catholic society, was
read in all Catholic churches to-day, ordering
all Catholics to withdraw from the society
before March 1st, under pain of excommuni-
cation.
Last September the diocesan synod, at a
meeting in this city passed a statute forbid
ding round dances and the sale of beer at
entertainments given by Catholic societies
and pastoral letter was issued ordering all
Catholic societies to enroll themselves as
such and submit their constitutions for ap-
proyal by JAM 1; and it was ordered that all
societies not doing SO be denied the privileges
accorded regular Catholic societies. The
Knights of St John did not obey the order
and on last Tuesday night gave ball, at
which beer was sold, and round dancing in
dulged in, to test the matter, as much ex-
element had been created among German
Catholics. The reading of the letter today
was the result. Whether the members of the
order wllgwithdraw or defy the Episcopal au-
thority is mooted question. Many OF them
talk defantly now, and the German press
characterizes the action of the Bishop as an
outrage upon the freedom of the German
members of this church.

Washington Star, Saturday.
The defendants in the star-route trial have
suddenly ceased to be amused at the charac-
ter Of the testimony presented. 1t has be-
come entirely too serious for forced jokes
In laying the foundation of their case, the
prosecution necessarily had to so over much
of the ground covered in the former trial.
The reading and indentiication of documents
was monotonous and tedious. The counsel
for the defense seemed to take courage from
this continued repetition of the old evidence,
and apparently sought to make the jury be-
lieve that they regarded the case of the gov
ernment as so weak that it was only fit to be
laughed out of court. But the evidence of
the last few days has had SOLDERING effect
upon these hilarious gentlemen. The prose-
cuton is no longer 'threshing over old
straw" 1t has laid substantial foundation
for the proof that the conspiracy which it
has all along contended existed-a conspir-
acy between postoffice officials and contrae-
tors to rob the government The assertions
of the government counsel at different times
dul sng the progress of this trial, that s. w.
Dorsey was one of the central figures and
guiding hands of the conspiracy, are being
made good by the most direct proof This
testimony comes from men who were en-
ployed by the ring in the execution of its
scheme, and who in the performance of the
duties assigned to them, had necessarily to
be let into the secret methods of working
up the contracts and obtaining expedition.
The defense again resort to the tactics en-
ployed by them in the former trial of de-
nouncing the witnf sses who expose the con-
spiracy as black kmalers, unworthy of belief
They seem to lose sight of the point they
make against themselves in pursuing this
ing out dishonest men to serve them. Moore
and Boone have correlated each other upon
all essential points, and their evidence make
the case of the government already much
stronger than it was at the close of the for
mer trial.
