steadily against the election to the municipal
councils of the best representatives of the
business and taxpaying interests of the city.
The Hour says:
"There was a time when the merchants of
New York were majority OF its councilmen
and aldermen. Whose fault is it that the
persons who sit in the City Hall to-day are,
as rule, persons with whom the mem ers
of the Chamber of Commerce would deem it
disgrace to associate? 1t may be that the
gentlemen who heard themselves so pleas
antly praised at Delmonico's this week are
not entirely to blame for this state of affairs,
but surely they cannot be acquitted of all
responsibility in the matter. They have
handed over the city to those who bank on
their nationality, as General Grant said, and
they must take the consequences Bartholdis
statue of Liberty will soon be erected on one
of the islands of the bay 1t may serve to
remind the merchant who looks out upon it
from his couuting-room that the only liber-
ty he enjoys is the liberty to pay the taxes
which the statesman of the corner liquor
saloon and the politicians of the curbstone
see fit to impose on him."

THE Greensburg Standard essays the task
of providing bill of particulars against In
dianapolis in the matter of federal and State
patronage. Inasmuch as the article credits
this city with General Gresham, of New AL
bany. and Colonel Dudley, of Richmond,
and says that Minister Foster belongs as
much to indianapolis as to any other part of
the State, it will be seen that any reply
would be worse than ridiculous. We are
sill waiting for an honest comparison of In
dianapolis with other quarters of the State
in the matter of State and federal offices.

A Hugo Land Steal.

Interview with f. q. Boudinot
"What is the reason that the proceedings
of the Cherokee Legislature, at Talequah, are
attracting such attention just now, the press
reports from the nation being rather unu-
sual." The Colonel replied:
at means that there is job before that
Legislature which means partially the steal
ing of 6, 900 900 acres of land-all of the Cher
okee territory west OF the ninety-sixth paral-
lei or, to locate it better for general pur-
poses, a tract of land sixty miles wide by 100
miles long, west of the Usage reservation, and
extending clear to the Texas panhandle
have been all over it, and it is hundred to
one better land than that 5000, 000-acre
tract that the Chicago syndicate secured
for building the Texas State-house. II is
now proposed by some spectators to lease
this land for stock-raisug purposes. An
Eastern syndicate has offered 100000 year
for the tract, and the Standard Oil Company,
through its agents, has offered $4,000. The
bill now pending is to lease the tract for five
years, with the privilege of renewal. That
means perpetual lease, il not an actual
deed within a few years. No land in the
Terri tories can be sold for less than 81 All
acre. Rather than fool it away by leasing
with the privilege of renewal, it would be
better to sell it outright. That tract would
bring more than $4,000, 000."

$lO,O000O0 out of it at $4,000 per year. with

DOES ASSASSINATION PAY4

With the hanging. of the first man cons
victed of participation in the Dublin con-
spiracy, which takes place to-day, it would
be well for those encouraging such schemes
to reflect moment and see if they pay.
The assassination of Lord Cavendish and Mfr.
Burke was accomplished by a deliberate
plot. The conspiracy was carried out to
successful and bloody end. The two men
were mercilessly slaughtered, the forme be-
fore he had had time to perform any public
friend or foe of Ireland. The work
was done exactly as contem plated. If any
good was to result it ought to show now.
Cavendish and Burke, condemned in secret
conclave, are both out of the way and for a
year have slept in their graves. But who
can say that any good has resulted? Who
feels that the Irish cause has been advanced?
Or, rather, who but feels that the Irish peo-
pie have suffered more through the murder
of those two men, than they could have
suffered through them had they been

of the popular cause? A conspiracy
of assassins sits in judgment. They decide,
they act, and two men, and only two, are put
out of the way, while in their stead are hun
dreds and thousands prejudiced for the first
time against the Irish revolutionists and
their methods. 1t matters not how free
from completely the leaders of the cause may
be; so long as they fail to condemn these
acts of violence, just that long will the world
at large hold them all morally responsible.
The man who dies in Dublin to-
day, and his fellow conspirators who
will only too surely follow him
soon, have done more to move back the
hands on the dial of Irish progress toward
justice than all the forces combined in its
favor can overcome in years. To-day is
good time to reflect over this question, and
while masses are said for the repose of
Brady's SOUL let prayers go up also that it
may not be long before better counsels
shall prevail, and out of just and righteous
movement in which the Irish people can all
unite, substantial and long-delayed justice
may be done to this foully wronged and OPP
pressed people

Who Is the Hog?

New Albany Republican.
Although indianapolis discaims acting the
"hog' in regard to having her citizens re-
ceive offices of public trust, still there GER
tainly is a hoggishness evinced in northern
Indiana, more especially for State offices. 1t
seldom occurs that nominee for State
office is'selected from southern Indiana.
Plymouth Republican.
1t is fact that the Journal will not, we
think, attempt to deny, that the southern
and central portions of the State get nine
tenths of the offices. We believe that the
best men should be chosen, regardless of To-
cality; we also believe that northern Indiana
has some of the best men in the party, and
when they are ignored year after year in
appointing power, we think locality and
combinations of localities have more to do
with the selection of officers than is best for

THE savants of Germany are getting their
eyeglasses focused on the fact that q very
large per cent. of German youth are short
sighted. This may or may not explain the
short-sighted policy of that government with
regard to excluding American pork But it
remains that out of $4,000 children in schools
of all grades lately examined more than half
were found to be suffering from short sight,
while in some schools the proportion of the
short-sighted was 1880 per cent and in one
the gymnasium at Neutrality-suspicious. was
actually not one scholar with good sight The
eye-glass, once worn for style, is now resorted
to from necessity. 1t may be said that the
same condition of eyes may be found among
American youth, though to much less ex-
tent. The sight of students wearing glasses
once so rare, is now very common.

to the 18th of May. To-day, in accordance
with this tradition, the temperature is sew
eral degrees below that of the last two weeks
In 1884, Nader, by examining the meteoro-
logical records kept at Berlin for eighty-six
years. found that the average temperature of
the days named had been more than two de-
grees below that of the days Immediately
preceding. (See Humboldts Cosmos vol.
~ M. Erman, a distinguished German
physicist, conjectured that such depression
of temperature might be explained by the
passage OF meteoric streams between the
earth and the sum- thus intercepting part
of the solar heat This theory, however,
seems extremely improbable. From what
we know of meteoric streams, it is safe to
conclude that the meteoroids are too sparsely
scattered to intercept any measurable guam
tity of the suns heat. If, therefore, COM
parison of observations should confirm the
existence of cool epoch at the date given
above, its physical cause remains to be dis
