wonder that htigants get disguised with our
courts and call them farces. 1t would require
the patience of a Job to regard them otherwise.
The celebrated case of 'Jarndyce and
Jarndyce' presents a striking example
of what the people of Indiana may
look forward to who are so rash as to resort to
our courts to secure their rights, if the present
judicial system remains unaltered. Judges and
prosecuting attorneys shonld be appointed by
the Governor, subject to the approval of the
Senate, mode of selection, though not new,
that would undoubtedly secure a much higher
order of talent for these important positions. In
Massachusetts, State where the laws are better
administered than in any other State in the
Union, the judges are appointed by the execu-
tive The office of justice of the peace should
either be abolished and a county judge with pro-
bate jurisdiction, substituted in lieu Of these
numerous functionaries, else the office should
be raised to the proper standard of
dignity by some means, so that men of ability
and fitness could be induced to accept the Office.
1t is not the intention of the writer to outline
Judicial system that would answer all the needs
OF the people but simply to call attention to the
necessity Of reform in this matter, and to ex-
press hope that the journal will continue to

Christmas Gifts.


To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The days of Christmas tide produce such no.
tees as the following in the daily papers, ''Sac-
charine Jones, the grocer on South Aristocrat
street, was handsomely caned by his cerks'
Dives Mercutor, manager of Plutus's establish
ment on Wanderers street, received a valuable
seal ring from the attaches Or Pangloss
Alienus, of the Insane Asylum, Prof Mutus, of
the Deaf and Dumb Institute, Rev. Caccus, of
the Blind Asylum, Major Galnipper McSquirter,
OF the State prison. We're the recipients Of elegant
presents at the hands of the employees of their
respective institutions" and so on ad nauseam
OF course all of these worthy gentlemen were
completely taken by surprise, and were too full
of emotion to respond. Now, Mr.. Editor, doesn't
it make you sick at the stomach to print such
thlngss l am sure the old typo who sets them
up has to leave the case during the operation
and get glass of beer.
Figure this down and cipher it ont, sir and
the product is an internal sham. Do these pre-
sensations prove the sincerity of the donors or
establish the popularity of the recipientl l can
answer truthfully in the negative There is this
kind of a feeling if such donations are not made
we may not retain the good will of the manager or
official
For example, presentation was to be made to
manager; one employee was assessed $40 as his
share. He did not dare refuse it, and the amount
which he had saved for his wife to use for Christ
mas gifts had to go to a man who had no need of
it, and the wife and children were not remem
bered by st. Nicholas that year young girl,
called upon for subscription fearing her refusal
would be detrimental to her, gave what she had
saved to purchase a, Christmas gift for her
mother.
1t may be said these kind of contributions are
voluntary, and that the action of people in
making such presents is the business Of the
donors and not mine or yours. They are voun-
tary in the same sense that political assessments
are. 4 hope that we may see every year these
kind of presentations becoming more infrequent
The influence is pernicious. know some pub
lie officials and business men who have set their
countenances against such. Let their numbers
increase and multiply
When hear of rich man presenting to each
of his employees something which makes the life
of those individuals happier and brighter for
that day at least, then and you and our dearly
beloved brethren and sisters can lift up our
hearts and voices and sing ''Gaudeamus igitur"
with more fervor and deeper feeling than when
marched around the University campus on
class day. NICoDEMUs NoGGs.

LETTERS TO TILE EDITOR.
The Election Of Bad Men to High ONCE

To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
In James Anthony Froude's Caesar page 90
Harpers Franklin-square edition), chap. XII, are
found these words:
HE EAntoniusl had been expelled by the cen
sors from the senate for general worthlessness;
but public disgrace seems to have had no effect
whatever on the chances of a candidate for the
consulship in this singular age"
This quotation suggests the strange career of
the late leader of the Indiana Legislature. One
dislikes to speak evil of the dead but in this case
those who committed that great wrong are still
on the stage of action. The men who made him
their leader, who fawned at his feet still live 1t
is as you say; the spirit of slavery still lifts its
head; the Republican party still has great re-
sponsibility to meet. As in Caesars time aris-
tocracy will not yield the reins of power; it still
RACES to Cypress the poor. -.,.
In the example alluded to the case at Rome is
not so fragrant as is the case in Indiana. There
is strange parallel between the political situa-
ton at Rome during the era that eliminated with
the Caesars and that of the United States during
the slavery agitation, the end of which has not
yet come.
We recommend to all who feel an interest in
the philosophy of the present political situation
of our country to read and study Mr.. Froudes
book. sci ,rie w. W. NJ.

Relief for Our Courts.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
judicial reforms, the subject of the editorial
in the Journal recently, is one that the people of
the State of Indiana should be more interested
in than, perhaps, any other. Something must
be done to relieve our now overburdened courts
and that, too, soon, else the clause in our State
constitution which says that Justice shall be
administered freely and without purchase; COM
pletely, and without denial; speedily, and with
out delay" will become the object of ridicue. To
afford the needed relief in this matter will proba-
bly, require change in our, State consti-
tuition, and furnishes an additional rea-
son for calling a constitutional convention
at an early day. In the county where the
writer resdes-Fayette-i requires at least year
from the time suit is commenced, if it be of any
Importance, to get it tried, so oyerburdened is
the Circuit Court with accumulated business
Then the case has to be ground through 'the,-Su-
preme Court which takes another year, possibly
longer, and quite likely comes back reversed on

THE discovery of Athlophoros as a specific for
rheumatism and neuralgia was not an accident,
but the result of inquiry into his own case by a
gentleman of wealth, leisure and scientific ac-

rheumatism. His own cure proved his theories
as to the nature of the disease, and the merits Of
Athophoros as a specific for it, Then his friends

State as the surest remedy for rheumatism and
neuralgia that has ever been discovered

Outdoor Jackets.
New York Evening Post.

In new jackets for outdoor wear are shown
some very trim and jaunty shapes made of heavy
Indian cloth, in olive, maroon myrtle, green,
Burgundy-red and seal-hrown, trimmed with
bands of Astrakhan deeper shade. Very heavy
wooden Jerseys are also exhibited trimmed with
fur or netherlands, the fronts decorated with
silk cords arrayed Hussar-fashion across the
bust The ribs of the stockinette goods are
coarser than was formerly the case, and it is
quite admissible to wear wooden Jerseys of this
description in the streets without any additional
covering, although on severe days a fur pelerine
certainly looks more sensible and comfortable.

Harvesting Potatoes.
BY JOHN NJ. STAHL.

As soon as the vines are completely
dead, the tubers should be taken out
of the ground; and often it is desirable
to harvest the tubers before the vines
are entirely dead, as in the case of a
wet season. | co not consider it a good
plan to allow potatoes to remain in the
ground for weeks after they have ma.
tured. | know that this is often done,
but | think it generally arises from a
fear that the tubers will not keep if
dug at once. | have found the keep.
ing Of the potato better subseryed by
early digging.
plant potatoes in drills and use a
one.horse diamond, or bar.share pillow,
in digging. The hoe, spade or fork is
TOO slow when any considerable crop is
to be harvested; and none of the pota>
to diggers which | have tried have pro.
ven satisfactory, which, however, is
not saying that there are no good ones.
The plow must be sharp and have a
gentle horse attached to it. I make a
iurow on each side of the drill, Just
cutting up to the potatoes; then two
more burrows will turn the drill upside
down and throw the tubers on top Of
the ground. The pillow must be set
deep enough to pass under all the pc.
tatoes, else it will cut some. When
rightly managed there will be less tu-
bers cut in digging when a pillow j:
used than when hoe, spade or fork i:
employed III is feared that any
of tie potatoes have been missed, the
