Arrangements for Tickets to the Chicago
| Convention.


From Mr.. John G. News card, given to the
Associated Press last Friday evening, we learn
that the labor of issuing cards of admission to
the national Republican convention hall has
increased to such extent as to render it i'm
possible for Mr. New to attend to it all Very
wisely, therefore Mr.. New has created certain
geographical divisions by which the work
Of distributing these tickets will be given
to persons who will be able to issue
them intelligently and promptly. Mr. New
will issue to that part of the country lying
east of the Mississippi and north Of the Ohio;
Mississippi will be served by Colonel Murat
Halstead of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette,
end Mr.. Young e. Allison of the Louisville
Commercial. Mr. J. B. McCullagh, of the st.
Louis Globe Democrat is authorized to issue
convention tickets to residents of the country
lying west of the Mississippi and east Of the
western border of Kansas, while Colonel K. G.
Cooper, of the Denver Republican, and Colonel
Frank Pixley, of the San Francisco Argonaut,
will attend to the wants of the Rocky mountain
and Pacific coast interests respectively. First
Assistant Postmaster general Hatton is the only
travelling ticket agent recognized by tho national
committee, and no general admissions will be
honored unless countersigned by him and prop
erly stamped

THE Sentinel can give no authority to sup
port the statement that both the Republicans
and Democrats each elected the same number
of trustees at the last election as in 1882 The Of
fetal returns of thelast three township elections
in Indiana show that the number of trustees
elected by the different parties were as follows:
In 1880, Democrats, 500; Republicans, 466,
and Independents 80; Democratic plurality
over the Republicans, 40. In 1882, Demo
Gratis, $50; Republicans, 444, and Independ-
ents, 35.; Democratic plurality, Sc. In 1884
Democrats, 516 Republicans, 478; and indie
pendents, II; Democratic plurality, 38. The
Republicans, it will be seen, have gained for
ty-eight townships over the election of 1882,
and are in a slightly better way for carrying
the State next November than they were in
the spring of 1880.

Local Option and Temperance Reform.

Wabash Plaindealer.
Local option is the most effective prohibition"
good blessing to Ohio. 1t is temperance leg
islation, coupled with high license that would
prove salutary everywhere. But Democrats and
the advocates of ''idealn prohibition oppose it,
though from far different reasons. Between
the two extremes temperance falls and free
whisky is supreme. Keep the Republican party
in power and it will give the country such sensi-
BILE legislation as was contained in the Scott law
but let Democracy come on deck and down go all
barriers. This has been the history of the par
ties in the matter of temperance legislation in
Indiana and Ohio for more than a quarter of
century How much longer it will continue is
for the friends of temperance who insist on only
one kind of temperance legislation, and that
their kind, to say.

Now on the eve of departure it develops that
the Alert is unseaworthy and that it would be
folly to attempt an arctic voyage with that YES
sci in its present condition. 1t seems strange
that this fact has been overlooked by those in
charge and it is all the more remarkable when
the necessary items of repairs are recounted.
The Alert will have to be cleansed, reftted and
painted and her masts and spars overhauledr
The spare rudder does not fit, and a new one
will have to be made Berths for the crew will
have to be provided and the bulkheads changed
to facilitate storage Changes will also have to
be made to allow the carrying of steam launches
and whale boats. A change in the chart room is
necessary and a crow'snest must be built in the
mainmast-head. The equipment will be i'm
proved by the addition of five new whale-boats,
three sledges and two toboggans. The officers
when asked what they thought of the Alert,
shrugged their shoulders and said nothing. The
estimated cost of these repairs is $4,000, sum
worth about dozen north poles in the regular
way

CHARLES RUGG, the negro who, last fall,
killed Mrs and Miss Maybee, on Long Island,
and seriously injured another member of the
same family, is under sentence of death for
his crime. Notwithstanding the fact that it
was one Of the most cold -blooded and unpro-
voked murders on record, Mr.. Rugg is over
whelmed with flowers, and fruits, and baskets
of delicacies, sent to him by brainless women,
who "feel sorry for the poor fellow" These
offerings, which, as the jailer testifes, are
nearly all from women of the aristocratic class,
have become so numerous and the attentions
of the donors so devoted, that Mr. Rugg has
been forced to ask that in future they be kept
out of his cell. "They torture me with their
sympathy" says the black wretch. 1t is very
evident that when Mr.. Rugg was out a-mur-
dering he might have found women whom the
community could well spare.

A PRESBYTERIAN minister of Hampstead, L. l.,
says that young men and women addicted to
dancing and who will not dance in separate
rooms, are on the straight road to perdition. As
the congregation is largely composed of young
people of both sexes who dance together, great
CONSERVATION and disgust results from the minis
ters remarks. AS is apt to be the case in such
instances, the good man does not get the credit
of the pure and pious sentiments with which he
is doubtless inspired, the aggrieved young w0r
men declaring that he is instigated by envy be-
ing himself single man, who has never learned
to dance. They threaten to boycott him,
which mode of retaliation in the case of a young
and susceptible pastor would doubtless prove
satisfactory and effective

PEOPLE expecting to have the ague next fall
should attend to the laying in ofsupplies now. Tho
combination of American and European manu-
facturies, which has controlled the entire mar
ket of the world, has gone to pieces, and the eff

pills about ten or fifteen cents dozen. This
will have tho effect of placing these delicaeies
within the reach of all classes. During the first

sold in New York city at 81 an ounce.

About the strongest evidence found that Mr.
Tilden is mentally deranged is his inability to
comprehend what his friends want with him.
From the manner he strikes up and down and
out, stamps his feet, runs up and down three
flights of stairs, slings his Indian clubs, and
turns somersaults when called on, he must
think that committees are hunting an athlete
instead of a statesman. In getting the old mans
feet and hands all right his friends have got his
head all wrong.

One Strong Means for Social Reform.

on the favor of pure women because they are Of

while woman who would be guilty of these
sins would be spurned and denied admission to
respectable homes, the men who do these dis
honorable things are fawried upon and fattered,

dissolute in their habits while both mothers and
daughters seem to make no distinction as to

standard of high morality for men and women,
and condemnation of each alike who fall below
that standard.

The Inefficient Democratic Congress.

Fetersburg Fress.
The Republican Senate goes right on passing
important bills and sending them over to the
Democratic House. The Democratic House lays
them upon the Speakers table or puts them
away in the pigeon hole of some committee
room. and goes right on trying to determine
whether the Democratic platform shall be free
trade or protection. The Republicans attend to
the business of the country, the House to that
of Democratic candidates for the presidency.

insane through the tangle he made of spiritual

named Jones persuaded Pettis that he

spirits Of Elisha, Moses, Abraham and other
