Why all this pother about the purchase of the
senatorship by Mr.. Payne, of Ohiol There is
nothing new in this. Did not Mr.. Bookwalter, a
lifelong Republican, purchase his nomination
for Governor of Ohio two years agol Did not
Judge Hoadly, another ifa-long Republican
purchase his nomination for Governor last yearl
Such at least were the charges of Democrats at
the time But money makes the mare go in
higher circles No one denies that the money of
Tilden procured his nomination in 1876 at St.
Louis, and his money came near buying enough
electoral votes to give him the Office 1t
is no secret in the party or out of
it. Mr.. Englisha nomination for the Vice-presi-
dency in 1880 made with the understanding
that money in abundance was to follow. 1t does
not detract from the force of the fact that Mr.
English disappointed his party. Mr.. Payne is
only using the ordinary Democratic method of
reaching Democrats. So notorious is this Demo-
cratic weakness that Democratic politicians are
constantly alleging that the Republicans have
found it out, and that they can buy Democratic
voters, and have. in fact done So OF course,
don't know that the Republicans would do such
a thing, but it looks very much as though they
could if they wanted to- If delegates to State
and national conventions and if legislators can

That snow-Cleaning ordinance.

To the Editor of the Indiana polls Journal:
Of all the chimerical schemes that have at any
time disturbed certain editors, and even some
members of the city legislature, the foremost is
the project to require the owners of property to
clean the snow off their sidewalks as fast as it
falls Now this has been tried again and again
in Indianapolis and elsewhere, and it has always
proved burden that could not be borne except in
few cities as to the business streets where front
ages are limited to a few feet and the owners are
wealthy. 1t dies of the very impossibility of en-
forcing it after few have been mulct into costs
by the vigilant police that can see snow on the
Sidewalks, but who can never see a saloon open
on Sunday nor catch burglar in the act.
Now snow upon sidewalk is very inconven
lent, and most of people do the best they can
to mitigate the inconvenience; but, after ALL the
sidewalk is q much better place for it than the
gutter, into which it is usually thrown when
moved at all. Serious damage has resulted in
many cases from overflows when rains have fol-
lowed deep SHOWS, unless the snow is carried
away, as they do in New York and in some
other places. If the ordinance provides for one
1t must for another. There are hundreds of feet
sometimes whole squares without any houses
Now shall the owners of such lots spend half the
value of the lots cleaning off snow! l call to
mind lot on a corner, with an aggregate front
age of some 300 feet. There is a small house on
1t which rents for 81 per month. Last year
inc owner. WIDOW, was taxed $40 Tor
street Improvement. Add to that the cost of
keeping the snow off the sidewalk such % winter
as this, and she had better give her property to
the city,
Instead of such ordinance, better have one
that will punish any man that heaps up the snow
on the sidewalks, or throws it into the gutter
Ne have got along very well this winter without
such an ordinance. If we had had a hundred
they could not have been enforced except in
spots. Let the snow alone and it generally goes
off itself, and we must learn to accommodate
ourselves little to the weather and other things
Moreover, the snow on the sidewalks furnishes
something for editors and old women to growl
about o. L. SEE

A Rennblican Platforn,.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
Allow me through the Journal to intimate to
the readers of Indiana, what seems to me, as a
student of the times necessary to the success of
the Republican party in the future. First, judi
cious tariff, moderate protection, but not too
much. The time has not vet come, and will not
come for several years, when this country will
have free trade. Second. a high liquor license,
but not too high Regulation and not prohibi-
ton is what will win. Third, a consistent sup
port of the civilservice law The country will
now and hereafter support these principles.

The Orphan Asylum Location.

To the EDITOR If T. Indianapolis Journal:
Every now and then some communication APP
pears in print eritieisng the managers of the Or
phan Asylum for having determined to build on
their let's on North Tennessee street, instead of
on the land donated by Ingram Fletcher, which
lies about half mile east of the Atlas Works
The ladies' who manage this institution knew
much better than anyone else can know which
is the best location for the asylum There is
neither gas, water sewerage, street-car con
veniences, nor police protection at the
Fletcher donation, while all are at
the command of the board on Tennessee street
1t is very doubtful whether these conveniences
ever will be had at the Fletcher Place Then his
donation is conditional. If the board should erect
an asylum on his ground and afterward find that
1t was mistake; that it too far out; that it
was inaccessible and the asylum could not be sue
ceSstully carried on there they could not change
their location without FORGETTING to Mr.. Fletcher,
or his heirs, the land, together with all the i'm
provements placed thereon. They know the asy-
lum can be successfully carried on on Tennessee
street, that servants can be procured and kept
much easier in the city than half a mile east
of the Atlas Works. With their knowledge of
the objects of the institution its wants and neces
sltles they believe they would make great
mistake In building Mir. kletchers land At
the time this donation was made it was thought
all the above-named convenences would within
a year or two. extend far beyond it. Indianapo-
lis was booming then; farm lands were being laid
out into town lots, etc The corporate limits of
the city were soon expected to be bounded by
the county lines. / do hope the citizens of In,if-
annapolis will give the board of managers credit
with having acted with sound Judgment and for
the best, in deciding to build on North Tennessee
street. and, instead of discouraging them in their
work connected with this noble charity con
tribute literally to their building fund.

INC Court of woman on One JOHNSON case.

The Court of Woman the johnson Case.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The article headed Marietta Johnson's Let
tiers" written by friend of her girlhood, and
recently copied in your columns met with re
sponslve applause from the hearts of many
women. This deplorable affair has been widely
discussed in womanly circles everywhere and
the unanimous verdict in all such courts has
been one of sympathy and deepest commisera-
ton for the unfortunate Marietta 1t is often
derisively said of women that they do not stand
by each other in times of such trouble, but 1 am
satisfied beyond all doubt that if this unhappy
woman could have known the stout champions
the case would evoke for her among
even entire strangers of her own sex
she would not have felt so utterly forsaken by
the world; and had she had the strength to live
even after the inwardness of the case had been
made known she would have had staunch sup
port from her own sex. She was not a bad
woman; her letters prove this. If she had snned
it was not with malice aforethought; her death
proved this. Compared with the many married
tlrts, who still faunt the foOt-stOol and skill
fully manipulate the baser nature of man to
minister to their own vanity, and yet keep
stainless front to the world this same Marietta
stands pure and sinless. If her nature had been
more evil, she would have lived and dared the
world; as it was, overwhelmed by
the miseries which beset her inwardly
and outwardly, she cried ito whom
shall | so but unto Thee and sped the fatal bul-
let The victim of the injustice of one man and
the justice of anotherl "Alas! for the rarity of
human charity under the sum-" and alas, thrice
alas for the code of morals prescribed by so
ciety, which holds SHINING woman forever
guilty, and takes by the hand an impure man.
Woman will never have her most needed rights
until she, too, can shatter the ten command
mehts and afterwards hold up her head. In the
name of many women, lay on the sad grave of
Marietta Johnson this wreath of sympathy and
deepest sorrow.
