THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL.
DEMOLISHED THE HUB.

3 DEMOLISHED THE HUB.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
A Boston correspondent Of the Indianap-
oils Journal demolished the Hub in a single
column. He declares that Boston's reputa-
ton for culture above other cities is hum
bug; that its baked beans are detestable; that
the women are impolite when riding on the
horse-cars; that its newspapers publish moro
stuff and less news than the journals of any
other city in the land, and that, notwith-
standing its temperance character, it abounds
in drunkenness.
OUR FULL FLOOD REPORTS.
Madison Star.
The indianapolis Journals reports of the
flood in the Ohio valley have been through.
out full and reliable as is possible for a great
newspaper depending upon correspondents
can be. Its subscription list in this city has
largely increased, and we do not wonder.
The Journal, as a family paper, is most excel.
lent, and should go to every home.
IT'S EXPOSURE OF HEFFREN.
Muncie News.
The indianapolis Journal continues to de-
serve the hanks OF the Republicans of the
State for the able and persistent course it is
pursuing relative to Heffrenism. 1t is skill
fully portraying the inner life of the Demo.
cratic party in this State.

The New York Times, discussing the ques-
ton of local self-government for that city,
says:
THE obvious alternative is to make the
chief executive officer of the city the depos-
itary of the peoples trust, and hold him Ill
rectly responsible for its exercise. \ n
Power and responsibility must be united
somewhere, if we are ever to have this city
raised from its present level of municipal
degradation, and they can be nowhere so
fifty united as in the mayor. That principle
conceded, all the rest is detail"
This is in harmony with the views adyo-
Gated by the Journal for this city. The best
municipal government we can have is where
the mayor, elected for a short term, is the
supreme executive head. All executive
boards should be Internationally abolished,
and the mayor held responsible for the exc
cution of the laws. Will the Legislature do
this instead of passing the metropolitan ,pe3
lice bill?

'THE worst of our political scandals have
originated in senatorial elections. 1t is high
time for the sovereigns to take these cleo
tons into their own hands."-Washington
Post.
And yet, if we are to believe Democratic
sources, there is never a popular election
which results in Democratic defeat in which
the poor, weak, venal Democratic voters are
not bought up by wholesale. Where shall
we fee for refuge?

THE Chicago Tribune says:

There is no disposition in the Republican

showing up the meanness and treachery Of

AN OIBN LETTER.

Dear Parker-Ah, but let me call
You "Ben"-it sounds moro jovial
And jus,, and hollis with sacred love
The Rare Ben" you remind me of.
And, come to think, the ~gentlest names
That ever ,iingled in with Fame's
Were "Dan" and "WilP' and "Rob" and TOM
The genesis your own is from!
And so | hail you thus. Dear Benz
1t seems that Fortune, now and then,
FOrgets her fickleness, and makes
Amends to those she first fOrsakes,
And often winds her arms about
The very chap she used to flout.
So now L see, by THE REVIEW,
The goddess making up to you;
And, standing by, as one who may
Seem looking just the other way,
I watch her take the hand that 1
Have thrilled to grasp in days gone by
Half jealous, as 1 see her press
1t with the selfsame tenderness,
Yet glad and proud to know the hand
Is hers, at last, to understand;
The hand that has so often crepr
Along the page while others slept,
And all the night tor you held naught so-.
But wakefulness and weary thought; VIZ,
The hand that wavered and grew wan
On its long journey toward the dawn
That still must break upon your sight
As drear and barren as the night;
Tho hand that wrote Of smiling skies,
Pressing the lids of rainy eyes
Between the lines of joy and glee
Born out OF gloom and agony.
But 10, the hand that wrote the song
otis Morning and the Days are Long"
Is white, from inger-tip to wrist,
For purest kisses ever kissed!
May Fortunes kisses-those of Fame,
And those of every singers name
Most dear. swarm round your pencil-tip,
With this one from my loving lip!
And now-if your new love agrees
Spare me the palm I want to squeeze
An instant yet, the while l call
YOU "Bcn"-it seems so just withal!

the dissenting opinion of Judge Beck-that
whatever the technical defects of the amend
ment may have been, they had been cured
by the ratifying action of the people, and
that q substantial right of the people could
not be taken from them by a purely techni-
cal and immaterial error. If the Supreme
Court of Iowa had found themselves and
their case in the State of Indiana they would
have been compelled to adopt that line of
reasoning, or else invalidate all the
amendments incorporated into our constitu-
ton. II they were not to do this, then they
would be driven to the ground occupied by
the dissenters from their opinion, that there
had been substantial compliance with the
constitution in the matter of enrolling the
amendments.

In the presence of a great calamity such as
the Ohio food, the usual jeremiah comes out
strong. For instance: The food was the
theme OF a great many sermons on Sunday
last, some of them good, and ranging all the
way from that to Indifferent, bad, and posi-
preached in a n%eighboring city by a divine,
who shall be nameless out of regard for his
family, said the food was a direct judgment
Of God upon the nation for its wickedness,
and this lie advocated and embellished at
length. The report says further:
1.-The other lessons which Rev. Mr.. -
drew from the fiood were, first. that it is an
expression of Gods displeasure and wrath
against US for rebelling against Him and a
declaration of the inevitable ruin that awaits
us except we repent; second, it is Gods voice
calling this nation to her duty as the divine
" appointed keeper of the moral laws; and
third, it reaffirms the fact that nothing but
the moral law can secure a free republican
government"
Another minister in the same city, preach
ing upon the same topic, said: .
Surely none will be so puerile as to see
in the present natural result of heavy rains,
melting SHOWS and contributory water
courses any evidence that God had vindictiye
emotions against this particular section oil
country, this city, and such as may be inhu-
enced by the flood, nor that they who suf
fered most were morally the most culpable
of all the jewellers in our land. We are to
disabuse our minds of all notions save that
Gods care is equally near US; that the flood
is natural; that after all, we have but lost
what q few years gave and will reproduce.

ANTHONY CoMsToCK has been awarded 81 900
in a libel suit brought against a man whom he
had prosecuted for sending Objectionable matter
through the mails, and who had retaliated by
calling .Comstock hard names. This neat little
sum will enable the enemy of vile literature TO
carry on his campaign with more ease. He
would, perhaps, not object to being libeled to the
same extent again.

"a DECISION of the Supreme Court of the

Sir-I have the honor to acknowledge the re-

of War, as | understand his annual report ana

signal officer to ask for a court of inquiry, be-
cause lie desires a fuller investigation than such
a court can give. He is surprised to learn that

charges or with .heir true character should deem
any inquiry necessary except for the inforIna-
