We are informed by Mr. Roxby that
he has lost 10 more head of cattle, max
ing in all % head that have died out of
his herd of Y. Also, that others in
the neighborhood where his stock are
being wintered have lost proportionately
of their herds. MIR. Roxby was unable
to determine the cause of the sudden
death Of his stock, although he made as
careful and thorough examination as
possible, finding the stomachs of the
dead animals considerably infamed. He
says that death ensues shortly after the
first symptoms Of the disease are appar-
ent, and that the animals become wild

A Reporter Indignantly Refuses a Bride.

Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Feb 16.-Last evening,
one Brown, areporter for the Little Rock Ca
zette, called at the residence of Frank Flynn to
interview that gentleman relative to the late
tragedy, in which he FLYNN had played SO con
spicuous part While there, Moses Harris
editor of the Horseshoe, and Frank Flynn left
the room a time two to consult Harris fol-
lowed Brown to the gate, and in saying good
bye adroitly showed into his hand large roll of
bills, famiiiarly patting him on the shoulder and
saying
do the fair thing by us, old boy"
Brown Indignantly refused what he recognized
as an offer to bride him, and warned Harris
against the repetition of the oiense. Harris is
editor of the Horse Shoe Hymns organ, and a
reporter for the Western Associated Press. He
is charged by the other two papers of this city
with sending out to the country reports highly
colored in favor of the Flynns.
The examination of the charges against the
parties to the tragedy win probably result in
holding all of them without bail.

Mf1 Tipton he a Cfty?

| To The Editor Of the indianapolis journal:
Don't say any more about si0le NirgiJmys or
Mississippi but come to Upton next Monday 1t
has been proposed to vote upon the question
whether or not Tipton'shal be a city or remain
a town. 1t is probably doubtful whether we
have sufficient inhabitants, but certain very
small portion of the community desire that we
should be a city, therefore it must be. 1t has
been supposed that this was free State and
that man had q right to his individual opin-
ion, but this class think differently. Business
men have been threatened with loss of trade,
poor men with deprivation Of work, and violence
(if we judge from the language used) offered if
men dared express their honest convictions on
the street and say they did not believe it we'll to
have a city charter just yet This being Dem
ocratic stronghold we have plethora of candi-
dates for Office and some, too, who, although
they have been unable to huIldoze their way
into a county Office, think they may do so into
a cltyS soft place Perhaps, but 'allee
samee it would not look well to elect a rough to
Office. When man "daInnsf poor fellow be-
cause he says he will not be able to pay taxes on
the little home he has raked and scraped for
years to acquire; tells him to sell out and go
elsewhere that we don't want him. and says to
business men, you better keep your mouth
shut will hurt your trade all the time us
ing violent language IL IS about time for people
to consider for whom and what they are work
ing. tits doubtful how the election will go, but
unless there is a full vote of the solid citizens
the sluggers will carry the day as there will be
plenty of rotten bourbon to buy the floating
votes.
The Democratic paper here has been alarmed
lately lest the judge should not follow precedent
and appoint Democratic ditch commissioner in
place of the one whose term expires this March
But unless he can find more honest and capa-
bic candidate twill be for the good of the county
to ignore Democratic claims The ditch law is a
good thing in the hands of competent
men, but it is hardly to be supposed
that the Legislature intended the com
missioners to acquire all the benefits
But it begins to look if all public contracts in
this county We're given for the sole benefit of the
contractors In spite of the tremendous efforts
people here are making to get out of the old rut
it is very hard for them to do so, when after
paying their taxes for improvements they must
wait two or three years after the time the con
tract expires before they can get the much need
ed improvement OF course nobody is to blame
How could they be? Other counties can build roads
and have them completed within the specified
time, but we must wait until others see fit to ae-
commodate Suppose this is what is called
good government and working for the interest of
the people. CHAPEAU.

A Defense of Our Schools.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis journal:
There has been of late much adverse criticism
of the public schools of this city. AS member
of the working force of these schools and able
to give internal evidence upon many points about
which the public is exercised, l write.
The public schools are ON the scale of the other
interests of the city; the field is so large that
some details may escape even the most vigilant
eyes that have to overlook the great whole. In
the great mass of work to be done some mistakes
have been made, and individuals, both patrons,
teachers and pupils, may have cause to feel them
selves injured; but / sincerely believe that the
supervision is conducted upon the principle of the
greatest good to the greatest number, and that
calm investigation would show this to be the
fact
also believe that our course Of instruction is,
upon the whole, a good one Like other good
things it is in condition of growth, and is con
stantly becoming better adapted to the ends that
| it is created to serve,
| wish to express my respect for our superin-
tendent l believe that he is faithful to the
interests of the schools. / believe that unpreiu
diced scrutiny into his work. into the course of
study, and into the general supervision and in
struction of our schools, would reveal much
more for the public to take pride in than to hur'
| invective at.
| l speak for myself, and of my own free will
| but | know that / voice the sentiment Of many
| teachers and patrons. TEACHER.

for MIR. Matson.
Special to the indianapolis journal
GREENCAsTLE. Feb. 16.-'The Democratic
county convention met here to-day with light at
tendance, Russell and Mill Creek townships
being wholly unrepreseHted. Captain J. j.
Smiley was chairman and T. A. Arnold and
Howard Briggs, par mobile fratren secretaries.
The convention was smooth enough until mo-
ton was made fixing the time for nominating
county officers ON the first Saturday in March,
which brought about dissension, which was
quelled by compromising ON March % as the
time.
The committee on resolutions reported the
usual stereOtyped platform of a Democratic con
vention, charging corruption and extravaganza
and condemninS the Republican party for all the
ills generally. As soon as Judge D. r.
Eckles finished reading the resolu-
tions Captain H. B. Martin introduced
two resolutions, in substance as follows: The
first indorsing our congressman &C. G. Matson)
and our representative John R. Gordon) the
second. indorsiug 'Hon. Willis G. Neff for Re
porter of the Supreme Court, first, last, and all
the time" A severance was called for, but the
chairman needed it not. Judge Eckles opposed
lle ufSl pdfI OF lne resolution, saying IL was not
fitting to compliment member of Congress,
and not all Captain Martin replied in defense
of Colonel Matson, saying he ought to be in
dorsed. His remarks were bitter, but called
forth enthusiasm for the Colonel. Ecldes
moved to amend by inserting the name of d. W.
Voorhees, and the present Democratic State Off
GERS, and our Democratic county ofFicers-which
motion prevaied-thus breaking the force of the
resolution, so far as RIatson was concerned
His weakness seemed to unnerve his friends.
They followed the example of the honorable
Colonel, and surrendered. This leaves the field
open. for without strong Endorsement at home,
after his promise not to be a candidate he cannot
hope to receive the nomination. Dr. Williams,
Of Owen county, candidate for congressional
honors, was present and addressed the conven-
ton. He is for tariff for revenue only" and
wants to see the fight made on this issue
The convention was spiritless, except in Judge
Eeltles's fight against Matson and little heart
was manifested in successful issue of the cam
paign. Candidates for county officers were
numerous, and their appeals touching

A Hint to Chicaeo Bcnevolencc.

To the Editor of the indianapolis journal:
DR.. Vernon, i'm his sermon yesterday morning,
said: 'There is not a city so wicked that God is
not there" He pointed toward Chicago, though
the movement may have been undersigned and
probably was. Chicago has many churches and
we hope that God is there, and will manifest his
presence by moving the pastors of those
churches to order a collection to be taken for the
benefit of the sufferers by the Ohio flood and
that the members will contribute thereto. The
gross of stove backing and box of pepper-sauce
sent last year have been exhausted. D.

THE character of the testimonials to the mer-

al as the remedy itself is among medicines
They come from conscientious, careful speaking
people, who are not easily deceived, and do not

10 the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
was much gratifed to see you had opened
fire upon the boorishness Of certain shysters in
courts Of justice. whose chief stock in trade is
foolhardiness of savage1y, shown particularly in
a bristling bombarding of witnesses and parties.
Such conduct ought to be made an unfailing
cause for disbarment
There is one very common resort of these
Doors which courts should always annul An
honest witness, embarrassed by his unaccus-
toned situation, finds himself able to testify to
some fact of prominence, but his memory fails
to recall another fact in the same matter, of per
haps equal prominence. This is the shyster's
grand opportunity, and he loftily asks the wit
ness, III laundering tone Of voice: How is it
that you can remember that so well, but you
can t. 1t seems, remembertlis at all, which might
make for our side! Now, sl, recoleetyou are on
OATH The lawyer knows he himself could
not answer such question, any other man.
And yet he knows the fact is very common
mental phenomenon, which cannot be explained.
One OF the judges of the Supreme Court of Hi
no1s once remarked to me that when he on
the Circuit bench he would never suffer such a
question to be answered in any way. Whenever
1t was asked he would say to the witness: THAT
IS question in mental philosophy. You needn't
reply to it." Thus he would save the witness
from becoming confused and impairing his credi-
bility by fruitless efforts at explanation. All
brow beating, superciliousness and dishonest
tricks in the management of a trial should be
sternly prohibited in all courts and all questions
should be tried only on their merits. Judges
could easily have it so, with a little firmness
their part 1t might bear hard ON the buminers
of the profession, who are ignorant of the law
and only skilled in dishonorable tricks; but it
would greatly enhance the interests of justice
and morality. j. G. WELLS.
