County Expenses.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The publication of the expenses of the sherih's
Office creates momentary surprise in some
quarters and little talk; but it will all be for
gotten in a few days and the world will wag on
it wagged before, with other sheriffs to follow,
enjoying the same blessing, onlya little more of
it, if elected on the special plea of reform. The
biggest peculators that this world ever saw are
the men who went bowling around about fraud,
with many pious promises of reform While
there may be few items not authorized by law,
the bulk Of all these expenses are specially pro-
vided for by law. The big thing in this county
is the board of prisoners and it is big chiefly be-
cause there are so many boarders, but still too
large because of the price paid. Forty
especially when one meal or one nights lodging
counts whole day. is huge price where there
IS no rent to pay or furniture or fuel to buy.
The Friendly Inn pays its rent furnishes its
bedding, and its furniture and fuel and charges
only ten cents Il meal and ten cents for a bed.
But the fault is not in the sheriff, but in the law
which allows it, through the commissioners. But
what are you going to do about it, The people
a few years ago amended the Constitution so as
to allow the Legislature to adapt the fees to the
work done in each county, but there it lies a
monument to the folly of those who believe that
constitutions enforce themselves. Nothing has
been done under it, or ever will be while the
Constitution limits the session of Legislature to
sixty days. The powerful official lobby that
meets with every Legislature finds no serious
difficulty in STAYING off all such legislation until
the sixty days are out, and perpetual postpone
ment of any reform in the law may be expected
for the mkt hundred years, if our present Con
stitution remains. There is in history no more
striking example of penny-wise pound-foolish-
ness than is found in the clause which limits the
sessions of a legislature to sixty days This
State has suffered more in money value alone
every year for the last thirty years, than would
have kept legislature in perpetual session. Let
US have constitutional convention, and let us
select a lot OF delegates who do not know enough
Ny own opinion is that the Legislature should
meet every year, and remain in session until the
business is finished, if it takes all summer; and
it sh0uld be composed of men whom the people
can trust There will be no reform in county
expenses until something like this is done.

favor of prohibition direct I know of but one
such man in Vigo county He is Internationally
in favor of a Prohibition party He would not
sign the petition to the Legislature asking the
submission of the amendments, for the reason
the amendments excepted spurious liquors for
medicinal, scientific and sacramento purposes.
The Republican party should not declare in
favor of local option or high license; for the very
same reasons it should not declare for prohibi-
tion-and that is, it would be making a party
question of temperance-and for the further
reason that the Temperance people of the State
are not asking for local option or high license.
They are asking for the one great central prin-
eiple, that the people be heard on constitutional
prohibition. So far. by mere pretext, or other
WISE the people have been denied that right.
A well-regulated local-option or high-license law
would be far better than our present laws. A
local-option law would be a great means of edu-
eating the people on prohibition, and would Sc
cure prohibition in large part of the State; but
it would not take the question of temperance
out of party politics. Such law might be
passed by one LEGISLATURE and be repealed by the
next 1t would not be so with constitutional
prohibition. J. D. MITCHELL.

Lost in the Blizzard.

ST. PAUL, Feb 25-Near SanborD, D. T., Mr.
Nelson and his two daughters, aged ten and
twelve years. left home about an hour before
the storm burst, for the purpose Of getting some
hay, which they had been burning as fuel The
haystack was about half mile from the house.
A searching party of neighbors went out on
Tuesday and found that Mr.. Nelson had been at
the haystack and had secured the hay, which
was tied in bundles for convenience in carrying,
'and that the two smaller bundles, designed fol
the children, were found about ten rods from
the point of starting, and still larger bundle
could be found Of either girls or their father.
Search has proved fruitess. The mother and
three surviving children are destitute, theiI
crops having been destroyed by fire after the
harvest
The body of Nelson was found five miles from
the place where he started in the blizzard. His
two children have not yet been found.

Ex-Postal Clerk King.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Jou rnal:
have read in the Commercial Gazette of this
date where G. Jay French, now on trial in your
city for misdeeds committed, falsely informed
the commission that 1 was discharged for drunk
enness. Let him not think to excuse himself by
trying to blacken the character of others. The
truth would make much better witness touch
ing my own failings than this new apostle of
temperance and heavy mail-weighing, and the
facts would also furnish deal of information in
regard to the habits of his chosen pets, who
drink not wisely but too much. ."Let the CALLED
jade vince" his faults are his, and mine are my
own-willingly confessed when guilty, firmly de
MED when innocent, without the aid or use of an
investigating commission If French were
treated as he treated me, he would have been,
ere this, summarily dismissed from the service
without such hearing as is now given him, and
before which cannot go because unable to pay
the expenses of the journey to Indianapolis, but
if personally present and before French would
like to state in detail all l know.

The Usual Choir Trouble.

New YORK Feb. 25.-The choir of the Fifth
avenue Baptist Church, in Forty sixth street,
which is known the best choir in the city, have
resolved to leave the church in May, and the con-
gregation is very gloomy. The reason for their
leaving is that at the recent annual meeting of
the board of trustees the appropriation for music
was cut down one-half. Mr.. William Rockefeller
and other prominent members resigned from the
board of trustees on account of the reduction,
which was carried by the persistency of some of
the other members of the board.

Two Old Men Fighting.

NEwBURNE, N. c., July 28.-Robert
Floor and Stiles Sanders, two white
haired farmers, aged respectively seven
ty-four and seventy seven, had harsh
words a few days ago, it is said, about
their crops. They had been warm friends
and were memb ers of the same church.
The two together have thirty-nine de-
scendants.
They parted bitter enemies, but the
advanced ages and recognized pacific
natures of the two men led their friends
to believe that their i'll feeling would
end in words merely. This morning
Mr.. Thomas Stanley, a young man OF
this place, happened to be up at day
break and was Mortified at seeing the
two old men armed to the teeth and
standing facing each other, ready Ia
onter into deadly duel.
| At the risk of his life and ~ their
weapons were raised he rushed between
them. At first one of them warned
him off, but he managed to seize San.
ders' pistol and then tenderly reminded
them that they had but few more days
to spend on earth. Some passers-by
attracted by his speaking came to his
assistance and the two old men were
ldisarmed.
Had Mr.. Stanley been two minutes
later the com batants would have begun
firing. They were but eight pacei
apart. This is the first instance In the
history of the code where two such oil,
men have resorted to it for the arbitra
ment of their disputes. Fears are enter
tanned that the grandsons of the would
be duelists will take up the affair anl
pursue it to a bloody termination.

which they are subjected from tramps
A gentleman who works hard twelve
hours out of the twenty-four each day,
was waiting one morning last week
while his wife prepared breakfast, when
a tramp, whose brogue indicated his
native land. stepped up to tho back
door, and after bidding all hands good
morning, asked If they would give him
his breakfast.
"Why don't you go to work land earn
your living the same as / have to do ?"
inquired the gentleman.
"And sure, but would, could I get

The tramp turned to 20, but the smel
