The Blind Man.

That a man may oe blind IN more
ways than one is conceded by almost
everybody. The man who is physical
ly blind, whose eyes have been de-
stroyed by disease or the sight re-
moved by some accident, is to be
pitied and he should have the sympa-
thy and share the charity OF every
good citizen. But the man who ls
blind intellectually or spiritually. who
at this day and age does not post HIM
self as to his immediate surroundings,
does not make himself acquainted with
the general topics of the day, does not
know whether he is Presbyterian or
Methodist, a. Republican or Demo
crat. is to he censured rather than
pitied, because in these days of cheap
literature, and the world is full OF it,
a man need not go to the expense of
travelling, he can stay right at his own
fireside and make himself fully &C
quainted with everything that is going
on in the world, and thus become a
good Judge of the principles and char
acters which are best calculated to ad-
vance the interests of every country
and better the condition OF every indi'
vidual. 1t may be we'll perhaps, to
state right here for the benefit OF those
who may not be acquainted OF the fact,
that Saur makes specially Of keeping
constantly on hand all the best and
choicest literature of the day at his
large drug and book store, and any
\ book, paper or magazine published
anywhere in the world will be fur
nished On the shortest possible notice,
in any language desired. And we will
say further that you will not only find
Saur's drugs and medicines is always
complete, and will compare favoraoly
in quantity: variety, price and quality
with that of any other drug house any
where east or west, north or south. 1t
has become a byword, and deservedly
too, that when you fail to find any spe-
cial or particular kind of medicine
everywhere else, that by going to
Saur's drug and book store you will be
sure to find it.
In the line of holiday goods, Saur
is always up with the times and has
everything that is beautiful as we'll as
useful at prices which are within the
reach of everv one. In fact low prices
on all kinds of goods sold at this house
have ever been the mottos which have
given this house reputation which is
not excelled and which every one is
proud to speak of. Saur has always
recognized this fact in all his dealings,
that honest square dealing, represent
ing your goods none other than that
which they are, is the only true road
to success, and he who prospers by any
other is sooner or later, either in this
world or the next, hound to retrace
his steps, make right what he has
made wrong, or else forever suffer the
penalty which attaches to all that is
bad.

week adopted the following platform:
Resolved, That we repeat and affirm

State Conventions of the Prohibition
Reform party of Ohio. y,
Resolved, That we denounce the doc
trine of personal liberty in relation to
the liquor crime declared by the. Demo-
cratic party of Ohio, as subverting the
foundations of free government and
tending only to universal corruption,
anarchy and despotism.
ResOlUed, That we condemn the policy
of the Republican party avowed by its
platform at its recent State convention
and by acts of the present Legislature,
with its two-thirds Republican majori-
ty, in the Pond and Scott laws, and the
first proposition of the Constitutional
amendment, in making the State OF
Ohio partner by taxation, in the per-
petration and prostitution of the giant
"crime of crimes,n and in repeating the
State law for the protection of the Sab
bath and the prohibitory law enacted
over twenty-nine years ago for the sup
preston of dram shops for sale of dis.

The farm boys, old and young, up at
Caldwell's Prairie, Wisconsin, have
been having grand old hunting season,
lasting two weeks. They organized two
companies of thirty each and went for
the .woodchucks, gophers, chipmunks,
and rats. The aggregate loss ofthe enc
my was 126,520 scalps, one company
taking 64,47O and the other 62,05O.
Which tribe of the "varmints'' suffered
most is not given in any report We have
seen, but one account says upward OF
100 woodchucks were taken ON single
farm. This is a kind of sporting that
will be found to pay Itwould have
cost the farmers round sum to keep
this Jumbo of q menagarie, though the
season. It took 720 days works, or say
a thousand dollars in time, ammunition,
ETC., but it will save more than that
amount to the crops, and the amount
of fun can hardly be estimated in dol
lars and cents.

THE PARTY FUTURE.
The Broad Basis Upon Which Future Re-
publicanism Must Rest.
National Renulican

The Broad Basis Upon Which Future Re-
publicanism Must Rest.
National Republican.
The recent past has seen Republicans
giving themselves too much to the work of
fighting Republicans. This was because
they saw no other foe to contend with. AS
a result of their struggle with each other the
enemy has now appeared The tramp of his
legions is heard on the march to the White
House. The result will be that the Repub-
lican cause will itself lead its old leaders to
the work of staying the political revolution.
The party can command the services
of all who have fought its bat
ties and won them in the past.
1t cannot and will not allow any of them
to be omitted on the roll call or to pull back
on the rest. 1t will be no quarrel for prece-
dence nor yet for seclusion. The party will
have the best services of all on whom it calls,
and it will call on all. There must be room
in the party for those who opposed the force
bill in 1875 and for those who opposed the
nomination of their leader in 1876 room for
those who upheld the soothing strip treat
ment of Democracy from 1877 to 1881, and
those who wanted to emphasize the depart
ure from it by again electing General Grant;
room for those who stood by the Conkling
leadership in New York in 1881, and
those who took part in its overthrow;
room for those Republicans who voted the
Republican ticket last fail, and those who
did not; room for those who have never voted
the Republican ticket, well as Tor those
who have never voted any other.
Whether the Republican party will be the
majority must depend on whether its man.
ayers and advisers will agree that the major
ity of the whole people shall be the party.
When the spokesman of delegation Of cer-
gymen said to Mr.. Lincoln, during the war,
Mr.. President, the Lord is on our SIDE" the
ready reply was, 'If there is any doubt about
it, hadn we better get on the Lords side"'
And so it may be said, that if the people are
not on the side of the Republican party, the
party had better get on the peoples side, pro-
yided that in doing so it leaves behind it no
principle for which valor fought or which
justice and patriotism demand.

A BALTIMORE SENSATION.
Sunday Laws and Temperance Advocates
Denounced by Minister.

Baltimore Special, oath.
Rev. DR.. William Kirkus, rector of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of st. Michael s
and All Angels, the wealthiest church in the
city, created profound sensation last even
ing by delivering lecture at the Academy OF
Music, in which he expressed his opposition
not only to the passage OF an additional Sun
day law, but also denounced the temperance
advocates as fanatics, who were endeayoring
to take away all personal liberty. The con-
sentative element in this city has accordingly
been terribly shocked. 1t is said that DIR.
Kirkus is the first clergyman of any stand
ing in the country who has placed himself
on record as being opposed to the passage of
prohibition laws, or additional laws for the
observance of the Sabbath. Already the sa-
looms, theaters and places of business have
been CLOSED on Sundays, and now it is pro-
posed to stop the street-cars and place an en-
barge on railroad trains and steamboats,. 1t
is understood that strong effort will be
made to force Mr.. Kirkus out of his pulpit

Political Notes and Suggestions.

indianapolis Saturday Herald.
The Journal again feels authorized" to
say that there will be no extra session of the
Legislature. Such determination on the
part of the Governor would be generally in
dorsed.
This Legislature is costing the State about
81, It's per day. The State is paying, at that
rate at least $1,000 more than value received
1t is not strange that Governor Porter has
determined not to call an extra session. One
of the best acts of his administration will be
Legislature of 1888.
AS soon as possible Governor Porter should
visit the prisons, North and South, talk pri-
vately with Them and receive sealed letters
letting the prisoners know that they can
write freely and confidentially to him on
their own treatment and on all matters per-
tanning to the prison. BY this method abuses
will be detected, extravagances will be
pointed out, cruelty will be exposed. Upon
this basis the governor can go forward and
do Justice.

General sherman's Presidential Boom.

New YORK sun.
The movement started several months ago
to promote General Sherman's aspirations
for the Presidency, so far from having been
abandoned, is in active operation. Not only
has it the warm support of public characters
like Colonel Ingersoll, who are well known
friends and followers of Mr.. Blaine, but the
ex-Secretary himself in various ways gives
it encouragement. 1t would be an error to
conclude that when Colonel Ingersoll flung
General Sherman's flag to the breeze it was
simply casting chip on the water to test
the current. 1t means much more than that.
1t was the first actual step in plan, deliber-
ately devised and proceeding chiefly from
the brain of Mr.. Blaine. Mr. Blaine while
saying that he has given up the race, and
probably having convinced himself that he
has done so, is yet toying with the presiden-
CIV without being a candidate himself. There
Is little reserve about his intention to con-
troll the nomination 1t is caused to be I'M
derstood that General Grants favor has been
enlisted, and 1.-The boys" as General Sherman
delights to call the soldiers, it is believed can
be rallied for him as they were for Grant.

The New street-Car Company.

indianapolis Saturday Review
The merchants of South Meridian street
are said to be in mutiny against the laying of
tracks on that street, on the ground that it
will interfere with their business. We have
looked down that thoroughfare several times
during the past week, and must say that it
has never been so crowded with vehicles
but that one could see daylight and the
Union Depot through it at any time. Indi-
annapolis has the fuss, and snarl and littleness
of village 1t always gets its back up at
any innovation. 1t lacks the breadth and
business cleverness that invites capital and
builds up cities. Its trade is cut off at the
north by Chicago. Cleveland and Detroit
swoop down on the northeast Cincinnati
takes eastern and southern Indiana, and ST.
Louis comes up on the southwest and west
There's only little patch of country about
the waist of Indianapolis that Indianapolis
still retains. This new street-car company,
which would add within few months $780,
900 to our wealth, and in three or four years
perhaps $4,000 and give employment to a
considerable number of men, must be frozen
out.

A DiscreditabIe Performance.

Michigan City Dispatch (Dem)
The State Senate again on yesterday made
a set of jackasses of themselves by reinstat-
ing Vincent Kirk and deposing Secretary A.
J. Kelly and substituting in his place Cyrus
T. Nixon a Republican. Neither Kirk nor
Kelly should ever have been removed, and
the action of certain Democratic senators
would be even discreditable to set of the
smallest kind of small school boys.

enables them to make themselves conspicu-
Gus, that the best serAice they can render
