MILK IND HITTER.

Some years ago Punch had picture of house
holder going TO the door with pitcher IN oach
hand to receive his milk. The miikman asks what
the second pitcher is for, whereupon he meekly re-
ouests that the milk be put in and the water in
the other so that he can mix them to suit himself
Ii appears from a recent report that some mix
dealers have candidly confessed at Albany that
they undertake the mixing themselves, but they
appear TO think that 50 long as they aduterate
their milk with water alone nobody has any Just
ground for complaint. In defence they say hat their
customers insist on having milk cheap, andso they
meet the demand for low prices by selling water at
the same price as milk. Unfortunately the adulter-
alton of milk. even with water alone is not
laughing matter. The water may and probably
does make all the difference between nutrition and
nnutrtion so far as the scores of thousands of
children are concerned. whose chef food this is.
IL bakers were habitually to adulterate their
-four with gypsum or some other non-alimentary
substance so TO deprive the bread of nifty per
cent of it's nutriment. there would be no doubt en-
tertained as to the criminal nature of the fraud
But though it is certain the bills ofinfant mortality
are constantly increased by the difficulty of OBJ
tanning pure and wholesome milk there is a diSpo-
siton on the part of dealers to regard this kind OF
adulteration as almost Legitimate.
No measures too strong however, to convince
such persons OF their mistake TOT tnere IL no "'i
Gle of general consumption the Importance OF
purity in which is greater than in milk. 1t may be
that adnteration with water is not so bad as the
doctoring with calves brains and the long list of
pastinesses which at various times have been EN-
ployed for tins purpose; but adulteration with
water destroys the chief value of the milk as food
and therefore is illegltmate as any other fraud
Water. however can always be detected in milk
hv the nae of the lactOmeter, and, therefore, even
# mch milk escapes the vigilance of the inspectors,
the consumer can, at a slight expense and trouble,
always protect himself against this form of adul-
teration. But no watered milk ought to pass,
neither can it if the most ordinary is exercised
and if such milk is habitually sold the fact midi
Gates that due vigilance has not been employed.

IL Governor Cleveland ever had any claims
Oh the good will of the people of this city, he
has forever forfeited them by his action on the
bills left in his hands by the Legislature. His
veto of the Tenure of Office act is of the
most discreditable things in the history of the
Executive Office. That measure was intended
to prevent the present Mayor and-Board of AL
dermen from filling in the expiring hours of
their terms vacancies in the offices of Corpora
ton Counsel and Commissioner of Public
Works. Ii gave to the next Mayor the power
to appoint two officials who are to serve during
his term, and who are to be his most important
assistants. But Hubert o. Thompson, who has
been condemned by the Grand Jury, by legis-
lative committee and by almost every newspaper
and taxpayer in the city, had no hope of reap
pOintment as Commissioner of Public Works, if
the Tenure of Office bill became law. He sent
lobbyists to Albany to defeat it, but they failed
TO influence the Legislature. As the price of
his support of Mr.. Cleveland as a candidate for
President, Thompson demanded the veto of
this bill. The fact that the Governor acceded

There appears to be considerable room for
doubt as to who will control the Democratic
State Convention at Saratoga. Cleveland and
Flower are the leading candidates; utGeneral
Slocum and others have many friends among
the delegates. Mr.. Flower evidently has a
majority of the delegates outside of NewYOrk
and Brooklyn. But the Governor has shrewd
and INSCRIPTIONS men at work in his behalf,
and is not above using his high Office to further
his prospects, as shown by his action on the
bills left in his hands by the Legisla-
ture. He may overcome Mr.. Flowers
lead. But a delegation secured by such
means will not be likely to do him much good
at Chicago. If Tammany adheres to its deter
mination to accept nothing less than equal rep
resentation in the convention with the County
Democracy, Mr.. Cleveland's prospects of sue
cess will be even less promising than at present.

A Peace Honorable to Both Possible.

McHenry for numerous English papers received
of late, and it must be said that he is making a
bold fight for the parties he represents. The

ment by c. E. Lewis, N. p, in regard to the
protraeted and costly litigation that for three
years past has been in progress with regard to
the affairs of the New York, Pennsylvania g.
Ohio railway The following morning the News
prints a reply by James McHenry. and then
comments as follows: Those who are interested
in the securities of the company. and who have
followed with more or less care the progress of
the suits, must judge between the two state
ments, and form their own conclusions. We

Of all our charitable institutions there is none
that claims our sympathies and should command
our hearty support equal to this. The claims of
orphaned infancy and childhood upon those who
have any of the milk of human kindness" in
their souls must always take the precedence of
the many worthy causes that constantly appeal
to the strong and able for aid. have had more
or less knowledge of the work done by
the Indianapolis Orphans Home during
| the past eighteen years. 1t is an institu-
| ton that every one of our citizens may Justly
| feel proud of. Its affairs have been managed
| by a large board chosen from among the very
! first ladies of our city, which is tantamount to
saying that they have been managed wisely.
These ladies have given quite. one month OF
time each year to this work, which indicates a
| devotion most delightful TO contemplate.
| By their wise management most desirable
| property-the old Butler University buildings
and grounds-has been secured for the Home.
! They have recently had the grounds graded and
| inelosed by good substantial fence.
| They owe SO, 900 on this property. There are
about one hundred in the institution, thirty of
| whom are under three years of age.
| The washing for their large family has all to
be done in room fourteen by sixteen feet
square. 1t will thus be seen that they are great
! ly i'll need of a suitable laundry One thousand
dollars would probably secure this.
NOW, MT EdlUof, II We're aole WouIu lnost
gladly give these ladies $40 900 on Than ksgiving
| Day. But as ana not, am trying to do the
next best thing, viz. get some one, who is able,
to do it. There a score of men
in Indianapolis that could name
who could do this thing easily and
hardly miss the money, who would sleep easier
in their BEDS and for that matter, their graves
for doing it. 1t would cause the hearts of the
devoted managers to bound with joy, and be a
benediction upon the thousands of helpless ones
| yet to be gathered to the shelter of the home.
| Who is the man who will do this generous thingl
The good people of cur city will delight to honor
| him, and many in the future will rise up and
| call him blessed L. w, MUNHALL.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
After the campaign has closed and the Repub-
lican party counted out by the united South,
Mr.. Blaine presents the facts to the people in a
short speech, which, had they been properly pre-
scented during the canvass, would have divided
the South and swept the North The facts pre-
sented in that speech are of more Importance to
the citizens of the United States than
any that entered into the last can
vass The question OF an unterrifed,
unbribed suffrage must be settled before
this great government can boast Of the per
manency of free institutions. The colored man
must be either sovereign or slave. Better would
he be as he was before the rebellion than to
have no means of defending his manhood or of
indicating his rights. The sooner this problem
is solved the better. No one regrets the neces
sity of demanding the rights of the enfranchised
emit 1t must be done. If not
granted without making the demand imperative,
the sooner it is made imperative the better.
Many good men in the South are quite anxious
to see the united South disrupted, and had the
question of suffrage been presented as we think
it should have been, the thinking men in the
South would have seen that the question must
be met, and would have demanded that it be not
delayed So long as this question is unsettled,
so long will the South remain united
against the North. This question being
settled as it must be settled sometime and
in some way, the South cannot 1emain
solid. We attempted to urge the ballot-box issue
before the people, and were anxious that the
Republican party should make it one of its
avowed principles, but we failed to convince its
leaders that there was any wisdom in our eonvic-
tons. The Republican party can bear defeat,
when it is the verdict of public sentiment, fairly
expressed. Without an intelligent unbribed, un-
terrified suffrage the Republican party cannot
control the country, nor the prosperity and hap
piness of the people be insured j. W. H.

DAILY AND WEEKLY EDITIONS.
The Oldest the largest the Best Republican
Newspaper in Indiana,
The DAILY JOURNAL.

The indianapolis Journal is better equipped
than ever in it's history to serve the public
With fine mechanical outfit, not excelled
anywhere, the topographic appearance and
arrangement of the paper will maintain fOF
the journal the deserved reputation of being
one of the best printed papers in the country.
Our arrangements for the collection of news
from all parts of the world were never so COM
plete never involved so large an outlay Of
money while in all departments the paper Is
served with experienced and intelligent direc-
ton. The Journal is, first, Newspaper. 1t
will give all the news of the day, from every
quarter, with fullness entire fairness, and SO
edited as to make its columns free from inn
purities and allow them at all times to be read
with perfect safety by every member of the
family. The Journal is Republican paper,
believing in the principles and general policy
of the Republican party; but it recognizes
that in the work of parties there are and will
be wrongs, possibly frauds and corruptions-
These the Journal proposes to be perfectly free
to criticise and to condemn without stint, but
in spirit and with purpose for good, having
proper regard for personal rights and reputa-
tons. And the right to make this criticism
will be asserted and maintained without detri-
ment to the political character and standing OF
the paper. With no desire to be captious or
fau1t-fnding, in the interest of the people and
of the party, believing that the great glory Of
republicanism is that it permits freedom Of
thought and liberty of expression, the Journal
will endeavor, in its editorial comment and con~
duct, to keep the Republican party the agency
through which and by which the best thought
of the people may find expression and the
highest purpose of the people be executed.
Other than this and less than this, will meet
its most vigorous opposition. We hope to
make the Journal the exponent of the highest
and best thoroughly sincere and earnest in
whatever it says and does; a paper Of the
people and for the people, as welcome to one
class as to another, expecting a continuance
of generous confidence and support by the
people Subscribe at once.
