The Sarsfelds had very large attendance
last night at the Union armory. The mar
ried men of Company @ overcame the single
in tug-of-war. Forepaugh's white elephant
was fully as good as the original. Mr.. Willis
Bunnell, on account of iHdisposition, was
obliged to postpone his walk against time.
Tonight, if pleasant, there will be a parade
by the Ligh! Guard, and drill at the armory
by the Light Guard zouaves. St. Joseph's
Glee club, led by Mr.. J. P. Landre, consist
ing of thirteen pieces, twelve gentlemen and
one lady, Will give selections. In addition
there will be cunning little CREASED pig and
handsomely decorated who will be let loose
in an enclosure and will be followed by half
a dozen young men, which will undoubtedly
create much sport. The voting last night
closed as follows:

The silk hat is to be awarded to the wick
eldest man who receives the largest number
of votes, and it is quite likely from present
appearances, psrsdoxical as it may seem,
that the contest will be quite spirited Prob
ably the winning man will not be considered
very wicked after all by the Sarsfeld Guard,
especially If he secures large vote.

A CoNsTANTINoPLE letter in the New York
Tribune pays deserved tribute to General
Lew Wallace, American minister to Turkey,
for the manner in which he forced the atten-
ton of the sublime Porte to the just com
plants of the United States. The palavering
and prevaricating Turk attempted to put on
airs with the General and to stand him off at
arms length; but, after exhausting q reason
able time in delay, General Wallace pushed
things and made the Grand Vizier under
stand that he was talking for nation that
meant business, and that he meant business
himself

Irishmen do not realize these facts,
and realizing them they would stul-
tify themselves by voting with the party
that favors a like condition of affairs in
America. It is the fear of arousing the OPP
position of Irish laborers that keeps the Dem
ocratic party from coming out fairly and une
quivocally in favor of the British idea of free
trade, So that party resorts to its usual
tactics of blowing hot and cold, so as to de-
ceive those who favor protection and the few
who would like to try the free trade experiment.
Watterson and Morrison and Carlisle are ex-
pected to stir up the latter and
enlist their cooperation, while Ran
dali and other men of larger caliber
make great pretense of showing down these
windy fellows, by this means calculating to
allay the fears of the laboring classes. Hence
it is that the question of tariff reform is made
the shuttle-c cock between these adroit players,
and the on-lookers are greatly puzzled to de-
eide which clique has the advantage in the
amusement. But the game must be played
at once for all it is worth. The public are
daily becoming better educated in the merits
of this issue, and cannot be hoodwinked by
specious arguments or cheap demagogy.

the people, who, in this country, are above
courts, and who, if they felt like it, could soon
put an end to the abuses and outrages perpe-
tlated in the name of justice. In this in
stance the fault is clearly with the jury, taken
from the body of the people Their concep-
ton of their duty to society was lower than
their conception of duty toward the cowardly
and brutal murderer. Taking refuge
in some fne-spun theories of the de-
tense urged upon them by able "crim-
inal lawyers" the twelve men came to a
finding which was so clearly a travesty as to
evoke the derision of those who had listened
to the case and to draw from the presiding
judge a severe rebuke. When the people
determine that the law shall be enforced, and
proper public sentiment is developed and
maintained, courts lawyers and juries will be
under such a wholesome influence that the
rights of society against criminals will be
naramOunt

THE Presbytery of Indianapolis yesterday
dissolved the pastoral relation existing be-
tween Rev. Myron W. Reed and the First
Presbyterian Church. and, in accordance with
its order at the close of service next Sun
day night, the pulpit will be declared vacant.
This is the last step preparatory to Mr.. Reeds
departure for Denver, and in noting the event
the Journal can but iterate the words used at
the time Mr.. Reed announced his resignation
of the pastorate he has filed with such distin-
guished acceptance for seven years. In seven
years a man may do much; it is the old cycle,
in the turn of which the physical structure is
totally changed, and in some respects is COM
plete life in itself During that period Mr.
Reed has woven himself into the life of Indi-
annapolis, quietly, it may be, but effec
lively, and his leaving is felt severely
in all the departments and phases
Of the citys social, intellectual, moral and re-
ligious work. 1t is not too much to say, also,
that Mr. Reed has gained somewhat by his
contact with Indianapolis; so that, while we
shall always retain the flavor and influence of
his labors, he will carry with him memories
that will keep indianapolis and Myron W.
Reed warm and sincere friends.

THE Christian brethren and sisters of Port
Jefferson, L. l., are all torn up and the mischief
is to pay generally A certain Mrs. Bayles, of
the NJ. E. Church. has been charged with the alb
ducton of a certain colored girl formerly en-
ployed by her. 1t appears that the abduction of
colored girls is not popular diversion at Port
Jefferson, and as consequence Mrs Bayles
passed under cloud. But she still kept up her
attendance at the church of her choice, much to
the disgust and scandal of her fellow members.
The other night it came her turn to formally petit
ton the throne of grace, which she proceeded to
do with an JUNCTION at once earnest and energetic.
In fact, she 'led' in prayer This was too much;
and those more holy than She at least in their
own esteem, got up and made for the door.
though it does not appear why, since one SO
wicked as Mrs. Bayles could hardly prevail upon
heaven to do anything. The preacher ordered
the sexton to close the door. but he failed to do
So and the recalcitrant Christians escaped
Then the praying lady's husband took hand
and sought warrant for the arrest of those
who fled 1t is to be hoped that he will sue
coed in landing the offenders in the peniten-
tiary. Let the precedent once be established
that people can get up and leave a meeting
while in session, and how are free-trade Demo
Gratis to secure auditors?

FREE TRADE AND THE IRISH.

The Morrison Carlisle Watterson cabal is
the great majority prefer not to flush the
quarry until after it is in the net They
want to wait until after the November cleo
tons. Somehow they don't like to face the
strong prejudice against adopting British
ideas of how affairs should be managed. The
workingmen of America, hundreds of thou
sands of whom have come here from England
and Ireland, don't favor the idea of introduce
ing in America policy that has succeeded
in impoverishing and depopulating Ireland.
Recurring failures of crops was not enough to
crush that people. There were hundreds of
thrifty manufactures that gave employment to
the people and furnished home market for all
that could be raised The free trade that
England forced upon that people has changed
all this, and scores of mills at Dublin and
Limerick, and Waterford have been closed and
are fallen into ruins. The8, 000 900 of people of
a generation ago now number but 5000, 900,
and the starving-ou process is still doing its
work Hundreds of holdings, once 50 thorough
lycultiyated, are abandoned. The loss of home
markets consequent upon the strangling
of its manufactures has done more
to impoverish Ireland than have
all other adverse circumstances combined
With the improved methods of cultivation
now in vogue ireland should be more pro-
ductive to-day than ever. If half century ago
the fertile soil of that island could support g.
OO0 900 people, there is no good reason why
-, 100000 might not find subsistence there
now. As it is, with no defense against ruin
Gus competition from across the channel, the
barely s, 000 900 inhabitants of Ireland are ever
on the verge of starvation.

Referring to the great battle of Fredericks-
burg the historian says the Yankees" sent a
flag of truce, asking permission to bury their
dead. "'The application being granted, and
while the white flag was floating and the dead
being borne off, the enemy commenced to re-
cross the river On Tuesday morning they
were gone, and on the vast plain only dead
bodies remained, arranged neatly in long rows
and-left for us to bury"

Speaking of the early movements of 1861, the
writer says:
ut was not thought prudent to advance,
leaving federal garrison in our rear at Cum
berland, where Colonel Lew Wallace was sta
toned with an Indiana regiment. Had as
much then been known of Wallaces soldierly
qualities as was afterward brought to view in
the summer of 1864 during his splendid cam
paign to the Monocacy and back again at
double-quick, all covered with mud and not
with laurels, his presence at Cumberland might
have been ignored"
On page 129 of this book is an extract from
the Lynchburg Republican, stating that a
confederate prisoner, released from Johnson's
island, being without money, attempted to
walk to his home in Virginia, and in passing
through an Indiana town he was shot three
times by Union officer, while standing I'M
armed and helpless. These extracts from
"history as she is wrote and taught" in the
South can but be of interest up here, where
the war is but dim memory, growing dim
mer every day, under constantly increasing
opinion that to emphasize the government
side of that great contest is to ''wave the
bloody shirt"

THE simple cost of maintaining the county
Courthouse is shown by the figures to be in
the neighborhood of $4,000 year. This
expense is only for keeping the Courthouse in
proper condition for the occupancy of the Of
ticers. 1t includes the heating and lighting and
janitoring, ice water in the summer months,
and such repairs as are needful to properly
preserve the building There are telephones
provided, and, besides the cost of the electric
light, the gas bills amount to 1915 quarter.
The expenditures for the month ending Feb.
Is last amounted to 81, 992 49, Marion county
has fine court house. 1t is palatial, and
credit to the city and county; but as with
private housekeeping, when projected on so
elaborate a plan as is the county housekeep-
ing the tendency is constant and imperious
toward extravagant expenditures. In private
life the instances of sudden and peremptory
stoppage are not infrequent, and fine houses
and fine furniture sometimes pass into the
custody of the sheriff It is always a hard
matter to retrench and to hold expenses down,
and it is evident that the county commission
ers have no easy task in the work of supervis-
ing the many expenses that come under their
control But the necessity steadily presses,
and the taxpayers of the county, in view of
the facts that have been and are being pre-
sented, will expect of, and will uphold the
commissioners in, course of carefulness that
to some may have the appearance of parsi-
mOny 1t is the little foxes that spoil the
vines, and it is in the small matters that econ
omy may be practiced

PROTECTION AND COMPETITION.

Free trade papers have frequent occasion to
point out the fact that pig-iron can be made
in East Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia at a
cost of about $40 less than the same can be
manufactured in the iron regions of Pennsyl-
vania. The figures as given are 1851 for the
former to $500 for the latter, an exact diff
ference of $1,000 in favor of the latter To-
cality. From this they argue that the tariff
is maintained for the benefit of Pennsylvania.
1t does not seem to have occurred to the adj
vocates of free trade that the tariff does
Southern States in which pig-iron can
be made so cheaply. There is absolutely
nothing in the tariff laws to prevent Ten
nessee, Alabama and Georgia from undersell-
ing Pennsylvania and securing the entire
market to themselves. According to the
figures above quoted from free trade authority,
it is apparent that the Southern furnaces can
underbid Northern by $40 ton, and still
have margin of nine cents in their favor
The logic of trade is that this undertaking
will take place, and that unless the Pennsyl-
vania furnace men meet the cut they
must lose that much trade. In other
words, behind the walls of protection from
outsiders we have encouraged healthy and
active competition. The South, so long de-
void of enterprise and business energy, has
been melted to activity, and now has a good
grip ON the iron market. This is exactly what
was contemplated when protective tariff was
urged. The country wants low prices and
competition, but those low prices and that
competition are more desirable coming from
within than from without. If the tariff were
to be built as high as the moon it would not
protect Pennsylvania from other portions of
the country. If the coal regions of Indiana
can make pig iron cheaper than can those of
Pennsylvania, Indiana will be sure to cut on
Missouri can produce the article at rate
still lower than Indiana, lower cut will be
made in order to command business This is
the unerring tendency of the protective policy.
The competition is the same as it would be I'M
derfree trade, except that we compete with each
other instead of with the underpsid labor of
Europe. And if we wish to compete with the
latter in the markets of the world, the tariff
offers not one feathers weight III obstruction.
We may sell at as small profit as we will, and
we may even give away products if we see fit,
the only question being whether American
labor can be bought as cheaply as it is in Eng
land and in other countries where the condi-
ton of the laboring classes is less favorable
than in America. All this is based upon the
idea that the figures quoted by the free-traders
are correct. 1t is matter of public knowledge
that in the cotton industries, for instance the
Georgia factories, so recently started, have be-
come serious competitors with those of New
England.

THE st. Louis Republican is greatly dis
tressed because the present tariff does not
protect the American farmers conveniently
ignoring the wellknown fact that they are
protected, and that during the last past year
duties to the amount of 500, 600, 600 were col
lected on imported farm products, Five years
will not elapse till the American agriculturist
will stand more in need of protection than do,
OF ever did, the iron or cotton industries
With the ryots of India living at
an expense of fifteen cents day, and able to
sell wheat at twenty cents bushel, there is
danger ahead Once in the hold of vessel
Indian wheat can be transported to New York
as cheaply as American wheat from Iowa is

farmers can raise twenty-cent wheat with the
crude appliances now in use there, what may
be expected of them when better implements
are Employed The American farmer is more
interested in the immediate future of the tariff

THE tyrant man seems to be losing his grip,
and the weaker sex is asserting herself in man
ner to challenge consideration if not admiration.
There is Mrs. Charles Chamberlain of Wilkes
barre, Pa, who firing OF the society of her hus-
band sought to rid herself of his company by
means of poison. First she took fifteen drops of
''the acid used in soldering tin" This she mixed
with his coffee. But he absorbed it without visi-
bic effect, so she then tried rat-poison on him,
but that did not work. She followed this with a
dose of sugar of lead which she administered in
some candy and cakes. This, too, failed,
and last resort she used
Paris green with him, which he likewise
survived, when the law CROPPED around that way
and took the loving lady in. At Yorkshire in
the same State, a young lawyer named Edward
Ellis attempted to act as peace maker between
two irate women, when one of them shot and
killed him. In Cleveland dwarfish man named
Carpenter with a wife and five children was
forcibly eloped with by the young and handsome
wife of his neighbor. And at Syracuse, n, Y,
Mrs. Ransier shot and killed Adam Sutler
Mankind in general will naturally conclude that
these are parlous times, and will urge that the
danger signal be run up.
