LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

A Prohibitions Advocates High License.
To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journar
[ think a high license would be of great
service to both the cause of taxpayers and
temperance. Nowhere are the evils and dis
gushing features of intemperance so plainly
seen as in the villages where there are no po-
lice regulations to hold the hoodlums in
check, and where doggeries under the name
OF drugstore" or ''pool-room" flourish on
every street. In the villages throughout the
State there can be found from two to six of
these dens, doing great evil and maintaining
such a nuisance that TO reside in the villages
is often anything but pleasant to moral
families. On Saturdays the streets are often
lined with drunken men and boys, whose
vulgarity and indecency is a shame to civili-
cation. These drunken fellows buy whisky
and beer of men who pay neither State nor
county taxes to help maintain the paupers
they create. Though these sellers break the
law every day, yea numbers of times every
hour in the day, it is exceedingly rare that
they pay even the smallest fine. Ny obser-
far nearer being respectable than the So
called drug stores of the villages,
but there are some drug stores
that are in all respects honorable
places of business, but it is to be regretted
that they are rather scarce in villages.
NOW, q nlgn license WOulQ QrlV0 tnoSe
death-traps out of the villages and close them
up for good, and leave in a village not to ex-
coed one place where whisky could be found,
and there it would be sold with great care,
lest the license be forfeited. Should other
places open to sell without license the man
who paid the license, for self-protection,
would soon prosecute them for infringing on
his purchased right.
There can be no doubt that a high license
would greatly lessen the sale of whisky, and
thus lessen drunkenness and crime, and at the
same time bear some of the burden that it
puts upon the ~hard-pushed taxpayer. 1t
would also greatly aid the cause OF temper
ance, as anything will that lessons the sale
of whisky. A license does not make the
traffic honorable; it rather recognizes it as an
evil to be taxed and restricted. To make a
rimiual in prison work to pay some of the
expenses he has caused does not make his
crime honorable.
New Orleans to the masthead" but find it
necessary to land at Havana for water,
so we may mail prohibition to our mast
head," and yet greatly shorten the journey
by landing at a high-license port. Whisky
restricted and taxed is not so bad as whisky
free. One drunkard kept in the back room
is not so bad as a dozen vulgar, profane
drunkards on the street. .
AS an advocate of prohibition for fifteen
years, l would rather have high license than
nothing, and think the Journal expresses the
will of three-fourths of the people of Indiana
when it advocates that measure.

The speaker,s Clerk.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Somebody is trying to make a little cheap
capital for Speaker Bynum. A city paper
says editorially: se-e
Speaker Bynum has i~naugurated an era
of economy by doing without a private sec
rotary. He is the first Speaker who has dis
pensed with this expensive luxury for many
year," t"N '
If Mr.. Bynum has himself made this an
nouncement, or authorized any one else to
make it for him, he is either very iGnorant OF
the facts, or a very great demogogue. Never,
within our recollection, has there been such
ali office as the Speakers private secretary"
Prior to 1869, there was an officer called
'tthe Speakers clerk' 1t was his duty.
among other things, to Keep the accounts
of members and officers of the House with
the State, and to issue warrants for their pay.
His duties were public and not private" in
any sense of the word.
Judge John S. Duncan was Speakers clerk
to Mr.. Speaker Petit in 1865, and Samuel IL.
Cobb was Speakers clerk to Mr.. Speaker
Branham in 1867. In 1869 the Republicans
abolished the office and provided by law that
sit shall be the duty of the Assistant Clerk
of the House of Representatives to act as
warrant clerk to the Speaker of the House
of Representatives." This is the law now,
and has been since 1869. Republican Speak
ers Edwards, Overmeyer and Ridpath had
no private secretaries" and if
Democratic Speakers-Mock, .Turpie, Cau-
thorne and ~Bynum-have had such an Off
Ger paid out of the public treasury, it has
been without warrant of law.
Perhaps Mr.. Bynum and his friends had
better try again. He might make some po-
litical capital by announcing from the chair
that, in the interest of economy and re-
FORM" he ha9 dismissed his coachmaf,
turned his washerwoman out of doors and
refused to pay his milkman, but the private
secretary" business is light weight, and will
not yield very profitable returns.

RECENT Iron FAILURES.
Brown, BonDen & Co.'S Works Attached-A
Mortgage Filed.

CLEVELAND, o., Feb. 19-Herbert Aver, of
Chicago, did not come to Cleveland as it was
reported he would. No meeting of the di-
rectors OF Brown, Bonnell & Co., of Youngs-
town, has been called. Amasa Stone, a heavy
stakeholder, said to-day he can give no opin-
ion whether their mills will shut down.
MIR. Matthews, representing J. V. Ayers
Sons, is here, but secluded. Mr.. Griffin, re-
ceiver of the Union Iron and Steel Works, of
Chicago, is here on business of that concern.
The Republic Iron Mining Company to-day
attached Brown, Bonnell & Co.'S works at
Youngstown for $35, 900.
A Youngstown, o., telegram says: The
News-Register, in speaking of the Aver iron
failure this afternoon, says: Joseph Colwell,
cashier OF the Commercial National Bank of
Cleveland, came to the city Saturday after
noon, and had a mortgage filed in the record
er's office for $4,000. The mortgage is dated
April 3, 1882, made by Brown, Bonnet & Co.
to Daniel o. Eells and John Hay, of Cleve-
land, as trustees, to secure the payment of
100 bonds of $500 each. 1t is signed by Her
as secretary of Brown, Bonnet &
Co. The signature of Mr., Aver
was affixed in New York and
certified to by S. B.. Goodal. By the terms
of the mortgage it covers all the property
owned by Brown, Bonnet & Co. in this city.
MIR. Hay, who is one of the trustees, is a SON
in-law of Amasa Stone, of Cleveland. A
further search of the records failed to reveal
any other mortgage given by Brown, Bonnet
d Co. to anyone" This indicates that Cleve-
land gentlemen OF great wealth really own
the larger part of the stock in Brown, Bon
nell & Co., and, if this be true, the wheels in
the mills here will continue to revolve.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Conslderable in
dignation is felt here at the action of Judge
Malott in granting John Hunter, the muir
derer, a new trial at Vincennes yesterday
evening. Hunter has killed two men in this
county. For the first offense he was sent to
the penitentiary for two years. The last
killing took place ON the 18th of last August
at a picnic in TINS county. He shot William
A. Lents, who died the next day. Being
afraid to stand trial here, he took a change
of venue, and on Nov. 16 a Knox county
jury said he ought to be hung. Judge Malott
ruled on the motion for a new trial yester-
day evening, and fixed March 2 as the day
for his second trial for killing Lents.

THE BULL DOGa BARKS

am the dog that gained a fame .
Guarding the goods that bear my NAME.
And watching out the whole year through
That puresr goods may be sold TO you.
Where | am present the dealers show
The finest Plug that the chewers know,
For the Bull Dog tag is proof complete
That chewers are able to have a treat.
I look from my place on the wall or shelf,
But say not a word save to myself,
While watching the people come and go,
Though many friends I've learned to know;
But | look at the dealer and wink my eye
When n greenhorn comes some plug to BUY
For l know too much to need be told
The Bull Dog to him will not be sold,
Aud | never grOwl as he pays his dime
And lakes some plug that was almost crimo
For a man to make or IA man to sell,
Made up of stock with an impure smell
And soaked in sweet of the vilest kind
Cheap john make could ever find
But 1 say to myself, if he wasn't green,
He might have looked about and seen
That here for sale was the Bull Dog" brand,
The choicest chew in all the land.
You can easily see where the laugh comes in
For mong the dozens OF tags of tin
The dealer, of course, pays most for mine,
For he knows my goods are always iue;
And IT'S natural, too, l must confess,
He should try to sell what costs him less,
Whenever the chewerf fails to call
For "Bull Dog Plug"

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE, Feb. 19.-About noon to-
day Elias Mac Wick, living on North Ninth
street, this city, made an attempt to kill his
wife and then himself. His wife is not
dangerously wounded, but Wick, who was
removed to Jail, cannot live until morning.
He shot his wife in the neck and the arm,
and when a policeman entered the yard shot
at him, but missed his mark. He then
locked the door of his room and shot himself
in the temple. When arrested he was able
to walk, but has since become unconscious,
and the physicians pronounce the wound
fatal. Since he shot himself it has been dis
covered that within a year past Wick was
married in st. Louis to Florence Shautz,
formerly a waiter girl in this city, and later
keeper of a clearinghouse in Caron6elet.
The wife in Terre Haute knew nothing of
this, and it is supposed hat in brooding over
the injustice he was doing her, he thought to
end it all by killing himself and her. He
went away from home the early part of last
week, and the family knew nothing of his
whereabouts till he made his appearance at
home a few minutes before the shooting, and
announced that he had come to carry out
the threats before made that he would kill
his wife
