Mr.. SPRAGUE, who is trying to become
Governor of Rhode Island, is receiving the
support of an element on which he had
hardly counted. The depositors in the saw
ings banks wrecked by the Sprague failure
are, it is said, intending to vote for him.
They have only received 10 per cent. of their
deposits, and do not expect to get any more
by making Sprague Governor, but they pro-
pose by electing him to defeat certain Re-
publican candidates who had something to
do with settling the Sprague estate and the
affairs of the banks. Suffrage is limited in
Rhode Island, and it would seem that there
is still too much of the kind

GOVERNOR Buffers fast day, announced
in his remarkable proclamation published in
the Journal at the time, is due tomorrow.
The doughty general nightly besouyht the
preachers and the people that on this day
they should array themselves in sackcloth
and ashes, and piously avoid references to
political subjects in their worship. On Sun
day last the proclamation was referred to in
many of the pulpits of the Commonwealth,
and the prevalent feeling among the clergy
men seemed to be that never was there a
greater necessity to cry aloud and spare not.
Butler is very liable to have the hair rubbed
the wrong way tomorrow.

coinage of our silver dollar, which must, by the

Mr.. Cox for laying duties for public revenue, or
for protecting the home manufacturer from COM

ticles that will pay revenue without raising the
prices of home articles that pay no revenue2 Or
is he for laying duties TO exclude the foreign
article, in order that the home manufacturer
may add them to his price while paying nothing
to the revenuel This is the question between
protective tariff and revenue tariff, and there

was far more urgent than the public generally
understood Whenever a congressman wished

The fact 1s, for every language or country
there is a literary center, determined by wealth,
population, culture and the facilities for pub

any sentimental considerations. Paris is the

that have made London the literary center of

THE Columbus Republican has the follow
ing to say, which we commend to careful
attention. The Republican party of Indiana
does not propose to so off after strange gods
on the question of protection to industry
as it was forced to do on the greenback ques-
ton BY Enwise leaders. The Republicans
words are timely anG sound:
''The Republican leaders of Indiana once
covered before the greenback craze, and for
years pandered to a theory that they knew
to be false because itappeared to be popular.
Just so long as this lasted the party lacked
unity and aggressiveness and was defeated.
Wheni it finally took high ground on the fiuan-
cial question and had principle to contend
the leaders are now beginning to pander
party is as firmly committed to the principle
of protection to American industry as to any
other that it has ever sustained. and any
weakening now would have the same effect
as to pander to the false greenback idea. Re-
publicans generally recognize the fact that it
is necessary to modify the law from time to
time to correspond with the changing condi-
ton of the country, and duties may be light
ened as industries become older and better
able to compete with those of older coun-
tries, but the principle remains the same.
ANY departure from that principle will bring
bankruptcy and ruin alike to the capitalist
and laborer. and the Republican party as the
friend of both should stand squarely by its
record without any fear of its becoming I'M
popular"

The National Journal of Education, pub
lished in Boston, speaks as follows about the
action of the late Legislature with reference
to Purdue University:
THE Indiana Legislature has evidently
been stricken by an educational blizzard.
With stupidity unparalleled, even in the
records of school legislation, it has interfered
with the government of Purdue University,
and made its annual appropriation to this,
the agricultural and mechanical college of
the State, conditional on the repeal of sem
sible act of the university trustees. forbid
ding the establishment of the
Greek letter secret societies among the
students How many of these
conscript fathers would know Greek let
ter by sight, we are not informed. The act
is in the same line as the policy of our LII.
ID. Governor in Massachusetts,. In the one
case refractory students are exalted over
the heads of the government; in the other,
States prison pupils are taken into council
in the election of warden. President E. Il.
White has very properly resigned, and, if his
retirement is accepted, the people OF Indiana
may thank their Legislature for ousting one
OF the foremost educational men in America.
In true logical sequence the same enlightened
body has changed the heads of the charitable
institutions, and adjourned without voting
the ordinary appropriations for education.
Truly did General Grant in the White House
say: There seems to be too much reading
and writing now for some of these people
up at the Capitol.

IT is said OF Mile. Finger, the Russian Nj
hilist recently captured after years evasion
of the police though actively engaged in
political conspiracies and plots to assassinate
the Car, that she is so dangerously beautiful
and OF such fascinating manners that til
next to impossible to resist her in any of her
schemes. In addition to her physical beauty
she has mental qualities and culture that
give her strange power over all with whom
she comes in contact. To see her is to be
enlisted in sympathy for her. To hear her
talk is to be persuaded. Her eyes make con-
verts for conspiracy, while her eloquence
makes treason glorious. From all accounts
she is the most dangerous Nihlist yet appre-
hended, and now that she has at last been
liar charms of form and mind will soon be
sent to grace the cherries solitudes of
Siberia. By a strange contradiction, the
woman leader of Communists in the land of
beautiful women is verv homely, so much so
as to impress the beholder at once that she Is
a creature of iron nerve and utterly devoid
of conscience. She, too, is eloquent, but her
appeals are rugged with invective, which,
instead of making anarchy glorious, simply
moves the canaille to irrepressible riot and
slaughter. Such are the two women whose
influence is so fraught with dam
ger to the peace of Europe. Louise Michel
was in the forefront of the riots of 1871. She
it was who inspired the petroleuses to deeds
of desperation and destruction before which
the desperate men of Montmartre with
reason stood appalled,. But for Michel the
Palais de Quai dOrsay, the Tuilleries and
the Hotel de Vile would not have been given
to the flames. But for her frenzy half the
slaughter might have been avoided. When
the streets of Paris were blocked with num-
beress barricades and the pavements were
slippery with human blood she, and others
only less powerful, urged the Commune to
its fearful work. A brief period in ban1sh-
ment and Michel is again a moving force in
French politics. In the case of Mile. Finger,
she has been busy for years. She was with
those who directed the mining OF railway
tracks to blow up the late Gar, but so

THE Macon Telegraph says that "the State
of Georgia cannot be carried by any party
under any leadership in 1884 upon a free

for free trade it will break up" Georgia is
one of the strongest Democratic States in the
Union, giving from $4,000 to 60, 900 majority
Georgia and Indiana are the two States, above
