Bilious symptoms invariably arise from indigestion, such as furred tongue, vomiting of bile, giddiness, sick headache, irregular bowels. The liver secPetes the bile and acts like a filter OF sieve, to cleanse i'm pupities Of the blood.

Rev. pr. William F. Warren, president of Boston university, has convinced himself that the Garden of Eden was at the north pole. Among his arguments he mentions the advantages in the way of illumination enjoyed by that favored region: 'tAt the north pole less than one fifth of the time is spent in darkness, and more than four hfths in light. It is easy to believe this region to be the one referred to as the land of light and beauty. Such land before the Deluge might we'll have been the abode of men of extraordinary strength and stature and longevity

 In your issue of this morning appears 8 communication signed HI, in which the writer, with much vehemence. proclaims his faith in high tariffs, as che causes and cradles of industries in this country. as the one stay on which the American mechanic must de- pend.
 May venture to send you word or two in reply, that those most interested may hear both sides? 'sTarif" is in itself an un- pleasant word; it comes from Tariffa, the name of town near the Straits of Gibraltar, whence the pirate inhabitants sailed forth and plundered what they could from passing vessels.

An architectural novelty in New York city is the duplex apartment house. It's pecufari- ty consists in having twice as many stories in front, so far as the arrangement of the different flats is concerned, as it has at the back. This device gives very high ceilings for the parlors and dining rooms and econ c mixes space by means of low ones for the kitchen and sleeping rooms. But this in wolves some eccsntricity as to levels. Each suite of apartments has half of the house's front, while the rears of each pair overlap. One family has to go down half . story to get into the bedrooms or kitchen, while the next go short flight up stairs to accom- plish the same purpose.

The Washington National Republican, in an article which some think was 'tinspired, ? says that neither the president, nor any person by his authority in his behalf, has attempted in the slightest degree to influence the course of government officials or to make use of them in manipulating conventions or selecting delegates. If this is true the presi- dent has acted wisely.

DEMOCRATIC NIGeARDLINEss,

The Democratic majority knows no mean
ness to which it will not descend to make po-
litical capital. 1t is now engaged in the work
of ''cutting down expenses" and one of the
first items in the programme is reduction of
several hundred thousand dollars to come off
the salaries of railway postal clerks and mail
carriers in free delivery cities, two classes of
public servants as hard worked as any in the
government. Take instances here in Indiana,
familiar to every reader of the Journal. A
crew of clerks running to st. Louis
from this city did thirteen hours
continuous and arduous work, and after
having done this went to sleep from sheer
exhaustion, and were promptly and heavily
fined by the efficient disciplinarian of this
division. This fact is in evidence in the
French investigation. As to the letter-calriers
there are some in this city who daily walk
over twenty miles, carrying heavy sacks of
mail matter, and for this they are paid 5000
per year. One man, at least during the last
past year, walked in his rounds twenty-three
miles daily, and put in 1854 of the 1865 days
1t is simply an indefensible out
rage to cut the pay of these faithful servants.
To make campaign capital at the expense of
these men is infamous, and deserving the I'M
qualified condemnation of all fair-minded men.
The schemers who originate such ideas of false
economy know, as everybody knows, that it
will not pay to cripple the public service.
They know, too, that deficiency bills will be
as sure to follow as the years roll round, so
that not one dollar will be saved in
the end and the only possible good
will 1nure to Democratic place hunters. Let
the pressure be placed first on the officers of
the Democratic House and upon the salaries
of congressman, and then and not until then,
will the public be deluded into the belief
that the Democratic majority is sincere in its
professions of economy in the management of
public affairs. The aim is by any and all
means to manufacture sentiment to help
them through the pending campaign. Let the
effort begin, but it were better to practice on
men better paid and not so severely handled
as are those of the classes named.

LOWELL Courier Amid all the uncertainties
of the presidential canvass there is one thing
sure, and that is that one candidate for Presi-
dent will be Benjamin F. Butler, Of Massachu-
sets. Whether he will continue in the field
after the Sth of July will depend on two things
first, whether the Democratic party will think
1t necessary to adopt him as its candidate; and.
second, whether, falling to do so, 1t makes IL
worth while for him to adopt the Democratic
party. The situation is interesting and is grow
ing more so.
THE Journals Muncie correspondent yesterday
called upon A c. Stouder, editor of the Adver-
tiser of that city, in order to learn from him
whether OF not he had really changed the poll;
tics of his paper. Mr. Stouder is very indignant
that such report should have gained currency.
be says his paper has never been the organ of
any particular party, sect or creed but that he
has always been and is now a Republican, run
ming his paper in the interest of the business men
of the city. He says he has not espoused the
cause of Democracy, and has not the faintest
idea of so doing.
The Lafayette Courier says of the governor
ship: Among the dark horses, Riley McKeen, of
Terre Haute, is not only possibility, but strong
probability. He is good one, and is conceded
to combine many elements of availability. He
has never sought the position, but the position
has most persistently sought him. 1t is. con
coded that he is a good deal stronger than his
party, and the fact that the Bourbon Democracy
have always regarded any mention of his name
in this connection with ill-concealed apprehen
sion, tells the whole story. He could i'll afford
to make the race, but if he should shy his castor
into the ring and get the Republican nomination.
he would knock Holman out on the first round.

MAIL FACILITIES.

The patent humbug of the Chicago fast
mail is being recognized sooner than could
have been reasonably anticipated, consider
ing the dust kicked up as the train thun-
dered over the country carrying its precious
burden of morning Chicago newspapers,
These papers themselves appreciate the losing
game they are playing. and each day their ed
itoral columns are filled with specious argu-
ments landing the enterprise and blowing
themselves red in the face over the great ad
vantage the fast mail" is to the Cuisines in
terests" 1t is not an unusual thing for ego
tism to confound itself with public opinion.
The three tailors of Tooley street styled them
selves ''The People of England" and it is no
special wonder that three or four morning
newspapers are distended with the idea that
they are "the business interests and fail to
see anything wrong in the expenditure of pub
lie money, raised by general taxation, for
their exclusive benefit. But the real ''busi-
ness interests" are being heard, and it will not

hour farce is played out The Chicago Even
ing Journal says of this much-vaunted fast
mail:
business men can't see any sense in keep
ing letters here until o'clock in the morning,
so that they can't reach st. Paul until $3.50
P. M. and Minneapolis until a p NJ, after
business in those cities has closed for the day.
All business letters are mailed here before 6
p. NJ, and if a train started at p NJ. and
ran at the same speed as the 3 a. NJ. train, it
would reach st. Paul and Minneapolis between
and 9 the next morning, just in time for
business SO far as accommodating the bust
ness public is concerned, the g in the morn

And the journal publishes interviews with
men who represent the actual business in
terests" that thoroughly expose the hollow
pretense of the EAST mail" The general
manager of the firm of Marshall Field & Co
says; 'The fast train just put on is Of no
earthly use to the business of Chicago, so far

of John V. Farwell g. Co. states that the old
arrangement is preferable for Chicago. The

Two convicts were caught on Monday last in
the act of escaping from Sing Sing, and had
nearly succeeded when overhauled and placed
in their cells. When searched they were found
in possion of ''two saws, large and small one,
several screw-drivers, two jimmies, one foot
and a half and the other a foot long. a large
brace, and several bits several augers, a long
rope with which they had intended to lower
themselves to the ground, and piece of board
with six screws in it. Their purpose was to tie
the rope around this, and then screw it tightly to
the roof" 1t was further discovered that both
prisoners had on citizens clothes under their
stripes and that they had provided themselves
with stout gloves to keep the rope from cutting
their hands while descending TO the ground.
They were locked up in dark rooms and visit
paid to their cells. Here half dozen lock-
picks and skeleton keys were found. With the
brace and bits and jimmies they had cut off the
boiler-iron back Of the locks to their cells, and
then easily opened the doors with the skeleton
keys at the proper time. The absence of the
step-ladders upon their persons shows that they
were tyros in the business.

PITZ John PORTER.

1t requires degree of self sufficiency not
possessed by everybody to be able to say of
the Fitz John Porter case, as the News of yes
terday did, that it sis not question of law or
policy, or opinion, but one of fact purely, and
of fact never yet controverted." 1t has been
the understanding among gentlemen who have
passed for persons of ability and character in
this country hitherto, that the Porter case was
a case of both fact and law, and also as to the
facts, that they had been controverted in the
opinion of great many people whose facilities
and experience to judge of facts, and whose
conscientiousness to reach an honest judg-
ment, can scarcely be impeached or overthrow
by puff of wind, even of editorial wind,
powerful and conclusive as that ought to be.
AS to the question of fact: the evidence before
the Schofeld board was carefully read by the
late President Garfield, and he was not moved
from the judgment of the court-maltial which
cashiered Porter. Major general Jacob D.
Cox has read the new evidence carefully,
and in an elaborate address stated his convic-
ton that the sentence against Porter was a
just one, and should be adhered to. General
John A. Logan, who certainly served his
country well in the army, seems to have
studied the evidence, and adheres to the con-
clusion of the first court martial. Such SEN
ators and soldiers as General Ben Harrison,
General Joseph R. Hawley, General Miller, of
California; General Henderson of Nebraska,
and such honorable men as Senator Edmunds,
Dr. Taylor, Garfeld's successor; Senator
Mitchell, of Pennsylvania General Thomas
NJ. Browne, Major Steele and Major Calkins,
of this State, on their oaths as members of
Congress, voted against the relief of General
Porter from the sentence under which he was
dismissed the army in disgrace. 1t
is possible all these men are wrong, and yet
we say they cannot be bowled down by dog
matte sentence, oven when uttered by the In
dianapolis News. The only important person
changed by the new evidence in the Fitz John
Porter case has been General Grant. 1t is a
been eontroverted-that no resolution has ever
passed a single organized Grand Army post,
or military society of ex-soldiers of the Union
army, asking for the restoration of General
Porter His strength almost exclusively, has
been, through all these years, among confed
crate soldiers and the Democratic
party. We have not yet reached
that state of mind necessary to
believe that no one but a confederate officer or
a member of the party which put itself dog
gedlyin the way of the Union cause through
out the entire war, can be trusted for an hon
est and conscientious judgment in the Fitz
John Porter case. We still believe there is
as much honor, ability and conscience to be
found among the Republican members of
Congress and federal soldiers as among Demo
cratic congressman and cOnfederates. Whether
wrong or not, is not the question; the charge is
that their judgment and their votes were par
tsan and dishonest This we will not sub
scribe TO, even though the great military critic
of the News asserts it.
