THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL.
THE STATE NEVER HAD A BETTER PAPER.

THE STATE NEVER HAD BETTER PAPER.
Warren Republican.
The indianapolis Journal with commenda-
BILE enterprise last Monday morning had q
full report of the hanging of O'Donnell in
London that morning at $780, The Journal
goes to press at O'Clock A. NJ, three and u
half hours before the hour of hanging, but
the difference in time between London and
Indianapolis is about six hours. We know
of other dailes that failed to say anything
about the hanging when their facilities for
getting the news were just good as the
Journals. The men at the head of the Jour
nal understand their business and this is
daily shown in the paper, The State has
never had better paper nor the Republican
party more worthy advocate. The Journal
deserves we'll of the people, and we believe it
grows daily in popularity.
PAPER TO BE PROUD Of
Andrews Express.
The indianapolis Journal has no equal in
the State. and is paper which every Hooser
may well feel pride in. 1t already has quite
a large number of subscribers for its daily
here, but if citizens would consult their own
interest its club would be double what it
now is In the stirring times of the coming
year no Republican can keep posted who does
not take the Journal.
THE DAILY OF ALL DAIL1Es.
Colfax Chronicle.
The daily of all dailies and the paper that

man of ordinary intelligence may peruse its
columns during the spare moments of each
day and keep posted and be educated to fair
degree in the general intelligence of the
world in its most interesting phases to mau-
kind
PURE IN TONE AND ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
The Journal is paper that can safely be
admitted into any family. 1t is pure in
tone, and it is on the right side of politics.
Its news columns embrace all the current
events of the day, while its editorial columns
fairly TEEN with gems from the pens of able
writers. The Journal is one of the bestState
papers we know of.

THE Hon. James N. Tyner has been talk
ing to New York reporter about political
affairs in general and the presidency in par
ticular. Mr.. Tyner says that either Senator
Harrison or Postmaster-general Gresham
would be acceptable to Indiana Republicans,
but thinks the latter will not permit the use
of his name while he remains member of
President Arthur's cabinet. The selection
OF Mr.. Carlisle as Speaker says Mr.. Tyner, is
regarded in the Northwest as a grave mis-
take by the Democracy, and nowhere did he
hear a doubt expressed of Republican sue

"GArH," In a recent special, says:


"Steel rails have during the past week,
sold at $780, which is $1,000 below the lowest
price reached after the panic of 1878, and it
is within S. of the price at which foreign
steel can be sold in this country; or, in other
words, at which any protection whatever
would be necessary to the American manu-
facturer. The price will go up again, but
probably not very much. 1t has occurred
under heavy protective tariff, and in the
twenty-third year of the greatest protection
ist experiment"
If this doesn't prove the theory of protec-
ton, it proves nothing. Under the opera
ton of "thieving protective tariff" the
price of steel rails has declined to within SIS
of the price at which foreign steel can be
sold in this country, The competition en-
couraged between American mills through
the protection afforded by the tariff is now
so great that the price is nearly as low as
that offered by foreign competitors and
everything goes to show that the time is not
far distant when American mills can COM
pete in open market with the world, This
is the object of projections To afford aid to
Americans until they shall SO perfect their
processes as to equal those of countries that
have had the experience of centuries and
have command of armies of cheap and ignor-
ont 1ohor

AMERICANS have little idea OF land mo-
nopoly as it is understood in England. Re-
Gently an entire town, every inch of the
streets, lots, houses, gardens, wharyes and
rents of every property and privilege was
offered at public sale. 1t appears that Lord
Llysmen owns the town of Aberayron,
Cardiganshire, Wales. The inhabitants of
the place have no voice in the matter, but
must accept whatever may come from the
transfer to a new landlord. Twenty-four
thousand pounds was bid but the sale was
not effected.

An offering, to be acceptable in its best
sense, should be laid on the altar by the one
making it. A thank-otfering to mother is
very ungracious thing if sent by mail or

A HOLIDAY INCIDENT.


from the village Of Concord, Staten Island.
Anna Bowald, q. black eyed country girl of
fourteen years, found twenty cents, recently,
a matter of little moment to most people,
but to her an episode. She had heard so
much about the grand things in the great
city near which she lived, about the innu-
merable beautiful presents and toys that
were displayed for the holiday season, that
an irresistible desire possessed her to take a
look at them. AS may be imagined, she was
not able to purchase any of value, but she
felt that she would be happy
even looking at the beautiful
preparations for the delectahon of girls more
richly favored. When she found the twenty
cents it seemed as though providential
way had been opened up to crafty her con-
Stunning desire In the morning she was
sent to deliver some milk at a neighbours,
which she did, and then disappeared. She
took the tin pail with her, and no trace of
girl or pail could be found all day long. At
IL o'clock that light the girls grandfather was
awakened by the dogs barking in the yard.
He looked out and saw milk pail on the front
gate. When he took the pail off the gate he
discovered a child's footprints in the snow.
Following them, he came upon Annie,
nestled in a fence corner. Her face and
hands were purple and swollen from the
cold, He carried her home. She would not
talk about her absence, and would hardly
speak at all. She sat two days with de-
jected face knitting on pair of wristlets.
When she became weary of her needles she
would play with the house cat and dog. At

wicked. l was almost asleep on the snow
when grandpa found me-" How tempting
the rich bright show in the great show
windows must have been to her
hungry eyes. One can almost
see her open-eyed wonder as she walked from
one display to another, edging her way
through the crowded streets, and elbowing
hundreds and thousands intent on possessing
themselves of some of the marvellous articles
so temptngly displayed. Poor little hun
gry-hearted, wistful-eyed girl, self-accused
because she even dared wish to only see
what she could never have. But there is
room for rejoicing that she came back to her
own as pure and simple as she left. 1t may
be that some day good fortune will smile
upon the rustic maiden and fill her lap with
all that heart could wish. She will be rich
without the baubles if she but keep unspot-
ted from the great whirling world that en-
tranced her for one long day. and left her
with an unfuflled wish in her simple,
trusting heart.

1T has been demonstrated that time is money;
in fact, great deal of money. Mr.. Bonner has
offered $4,000 for Anteeo, the California trot-
ter, if he can be put over a mile of track in
2:l7la or better at the age of four years. He
now does it in 2:201a. AS Bonner would not
give twenty cents for the horse with his present
record, it appears that the gentleman values a
difference of three seconds at $4,000, or &c.
666,6623 per second. Time is indeed everything.

Much Indignation is said to be expressed
over the collapse OF the Jones clearinghouse,
at Green Bay, Wis, which occurred last
week. with large liabilities and $4,000 as
assets. Large numbers of poor people had
their earnings deposited there, but the
banker specialized little in margins, and
the poor people can go to work and save
more money if they expect to have any in

FROZEN HOUSE-PLANTS.

Ii is not the freezing that does the
injury. This really renders the frozen
thing warmer, by developing the latent
heat Of the watery parts. The thawing
of the frozen water is what we have to
guard against. In all thawing the solid
substance, as ice, takes up from sur
rounding bodies, or from the air, the
heat necessary to render it liquid, and
as soon as the process is commenced, by
the suns rays or otherwise, it is contin-
ued by obtaining part or whole of the
required heat from neighboring bodies /;
this loss of that heat causes the bad
effect. If we freeze the ear no harm is
necessarily done. If we go near fire,
or in any other way produce rapid
thawing, we are liable to lose the whole
or part of the organ, because the heat
of the flesh is''rapidly extracted. If. on
the contrary, we apply snow TO if, we
render the process SO gradual that the
flesh is not injured blythe loss of heat.
Many other. instances of similar char
actcr might be given were il necessary.
The same rule holds good in the case of
plants. When their leaves or fruit are
frozen, all that is necessary is to apply
snow, cold water, etc., or in some other
way prevent the rapid thawing of the
ice. By attention to this point many
valuable plants may be saved from the
pavages of frost.-Erchange.
