Miss SARAH ALTHEA HILL who has been fig
uring as the dear wife" in the Sharon divorce
suit has undertaken the task of vindicating her
self in the eyes of the community by literally
and metaphorically backing the eyes of certain
witnesses who failed to testify to her liking
Miss Bracket, the young girl who first appeared
as Miss Hills confidential friend, and afterward
confessed in court that she had been offered a
large sum of money to testify in her behalf to
things which had never happened, is now re-
ported to be temporarily disabled from an en-
counter with the irate Althea Another witness
large and muscular matron, whose evidence
went to show that the alleged Mrs. Sharon was
not lady" was met on the street by the ag-
grieved young woman. Although arrayed like
the Queen of Sheba, she hesitated not, but
sought to punish her slanderer then and there
and prove by single blow that she was lady.
The offending matron, though unused to street
brawls, and taken by surprise, was equal to the
OCCASION and proceeded without mercy to tear
her assailant's bonnet to pieces, wrecked her
lace overskirt, and damaged her dolman, until
in the picturesque language of the San Francisco
reporter, Althea looked like the relic of hood
lum ball at 5 o'clock in the morning" A divorce
suit in California is usually a comedy in several
acts and this is no exception

Mr.. W. f. STOREY, proprietor of the Chi
cage Times, is reported by his wife to be so
rapidly improving in strength that the doctors
hold out the hope Of the entire restoration of
his physical and mental powers This pros
pect will probably cause CONSERVATION among
the cormorants who have sought to gain pos
session of his estate before his death. When
the old autocrat is himself again, an earth
quake may be looked for in the neighborhood
of the Times office.

WHAT DEMOCRATS DID.

Just 154 days ago 1872 Democratic Congress
men voted for the Morrison bill, reducing
wages by 20 per cent
Just 104 days ago the unanimous Democratic
vote of the Senate was cast in favor of repeal
ing section 47l6 of the Revised Statutes,
which excludes from the pension roll all who
participated in the rebellion.
Just ninety-fve days ago a Democratic
House refused to pass bill pensioning Mexi-
can veterans, and increasing the pensions of
widows and orphans, because ex-rebels were
not included.
Just eighty eight days ago the Democratic
national convention formally declared in favor
of free trade, or ga tariff for public purposes
exclusively" and nominated a ibertine and
a secession sympathizer as its candidates.
just eighty-seven days ago Thomas A. Hen
bricks declared that not less than So 900 fed
eral officials would be instantly discharged
to make room for that number of Democrats.

A MINISTER'S DUTY.

The public and the Rev. Dr. Alabaster are
to be congratulated upon the clear and positive
definition made in the Meridian-street Church,
on Sunday night, of the relations the Chris
tan minister and pulpit sustain to society.
In view of the malicious attacks made by the
Sentinel upon DR.. Alabaster, because he had
dared to utter few true and honest words OF
indignation and protest against the nomina-
ton by one of the great political parties of a
notorious and confessed libertine-a man
whose criminal conduct has been kept up I'M
til very lately, if not until the
present time-left the Doctor no
alternative than to defend the pre-
rogative of his sacred calling in the way
he did Dignifed yet decided, without the
bias of political feeling but with the right
eous vim of moral principle and courage, Dr.
Alabaster gave correct definition of the
proper, legitimate and much needed function
of the Christian pulpit. What the church
and society are suffering from to-day more
than all else, perhaps, is vertebrateless
pulpit. If it were possible to unite the
Christian pulpit and people of the land as a
unit against the infarny of nominating for
President of the United States a man
with the life and character of Grover
Cleveland, he would be buried under a
majority so overwhelming that no party would
ever again dare afTront the moral sense of the
people by repeating the experiment Are we
to understand that the Christian pulpit and
Christian people have nothing to do with civil
affairs7 That is altogether too much the
prevalent notion. The Head of the church
said: eye are the salt Of the earth; but if the
salt has lost its SAVIOR it is good for nothing
but to be cast out and trodden under the foot
of men," Is not the purity and preservation
of our civil government worth the earnest eff
fort of the church, Does the duty of a
Christian minister stop at the threshold of
civil affaiis7

Did the Mexican pension bill, as passed by the
House of Representatives, place x-rebel soldiers
generally on an equality with Union soldiers, as
regards pensions or did it simply pension Mexi-
can war soldiers without regard to whether they
had served in the rebel armiesl SOLDIER
DANvILLE, Ind, Oct 6.
Soldiers who had served in Mexico or been in
the army or navy during the war with Mexico
AS passed by the House, the bill only applied to
such soldiers. When amended by the Senate so
as to increase the pensions of Union soldiers.
and to prevent ex-rebel Mexican soldiers from
going on the pension rolls, the House repeatedly
refused to consider the BILL and compelled its
death by the expiration of the session.

BETTING in New York is said to be ten to
nine in favor of Blaine, indicating that gam
blers regard the result as very doubtful
There have been instances, however, of large
odds being given-50, 900 majority in New
York for Blaine, and in other instances as
many for Cleveland. Fortunately for the
good of the country, gamblers will not de-
termine the question. Laboring men are
most interested in the result.

WE call attention to an extract from a
speech made by Hon. Charles l.. Holstein, of
this city, in which is discussed the question
whether the Democratic party is favorable to
the pensioning of rebel soldiers The subject
has been treated before in the columns Of the
journal, but the manner in which Mr.. Hol-
stein has collected and presents the evidence
is worthy the careful consideration of every
voter, particularly of the ex-soldiers of the
State and country.

THE Democrats are making desperate eff
fort to keep the tariff question out of the
campaign. From the time it was agreed
that Cleveland and Hendricks should dodge
the tariff issue until now it has been studious-
ly slurred over, in the hope that Republicans
would not take it up Democratic hostility to the
tariff for the protection of American indus
tries is going to do more to defeat that party
than even its known antipathy to ciyilserYice

"GATH" has a number of interviews in yes
t9rdays Cincinnati Enquirer with leading
Democratic campaign managers, particularly
with Mr.. German, the chairman of the ma
tional executive committee. The instructive
and suggestive point about them all is that
the Democrats are relying almost solely upon
the possible diversion Of Prohibition votes
from the Republican party for success "E.
G. D." has two letters in the New York Times,
of Sunday, giving the political situation in
Indiana, and here, as elsewhere, the Demo
Gratis rely almost exclusively upon their Pro
hibition third term allies for victory.
Now, when we say of Prohi-
bitionist voter that he is Demo
cratic annex, he gets very angry, and, like the
little, nalrow-minded st. John, 'tflies off the
handle into TRADE of abuse that better be-
fits a Billingsgate ishwoman than one who
claims to be holier than anybody else, And
yet that is precisely the truth. The greatest
strength of the Democratic canvass lies in the
hope that enough Prohibition votes can be
diverted from the Republican party to give
victory to the defiant Democratic Liquor
League combination, the mbald insulters Of
all that pretends to do anything in the way Of
temperance reform.

THE Protestant Episcopal Church of In
diana is to be congratulated upon having for
its head such man as Bishop Knickerbacker.
For reasons that are well known, and which
do not affect either the conservation of its mem
bership OF the ability and devotion of its la
mented bishops, the Episcopal Church in this
State for years has suffered if not declension
in strength, at least the disadvantage of non
aggressiveness. The protracted illness of DR..
Uphold and of Dr. Talbot sufficiently explains
the reason for this. But it is plain to everybody
that with the induction of Dr. Knickerbacker
into his high office, the church has felt the
thrill Of life throughout all parts of the State;
and that it has taken heart and courage to not
only devise, but to confidently believe in the
certainty of, liberal things in the near future.
Bishop Knickerbacker has come to Indiana
with heart full of charity and zeal, with a
record of almost unparalleled success in work,
and with grace of spirit and an untiring
devotion that have already won not only the
heart of his immediate church, but have com
manded the respect and sympathy of all good
people. With no little interest the Journal
has watched the advent of the Bishop, and
it is a matter Of the sincerest pleasure to note
the increasing evidences of the success which
is already following his prudent, unostenta-
tious and earnest labors.

AN ordinance was introduced into the Coun-
Gil last night by Mr. Newcomb prohibiting
smoking in the street cars. 1t was referred to
the committee on railroads. Weeks ago a
motion to ask the street car management to
stop smoking in the cars was referred to that
committee, and there it sleeps There was
great anxiety manifested among council
men, we are informed, at the time
of the formation Of the committees
to get upon the railroad and some other par
ticular committees. There will come time
when this extraordinary anxiety will be better
understood, as well as why it is that some
men will spend years of time and hundreds of
dollars to obtain a seat in the Council. We
shall wait with some anxiety to see whether
Mr. Newcombs ordinance will fare any
better at the hands of the com
mittee than did the motion to which
we have referred A few nights ago one of
our city clergymen, who cannot bear the smell
of tobacco smoke, was driven from a street
car by 'hog" who stood upon the front plat
form and pulled the vile smoke so that it
percolated all through the car. On Friday
night last an elderly gentleman was driven
from car by a smoking "hog' sitting
next to him. The street car man
agement of Indianapolis is disgrace
and outrage, but the deeper disgrace and out
rage is. that change could be effected in

the good will Of the street railway magnates.
