THE White House cook, considered the best in
Washington, receives a salary of 81 800 year.

recorded in the recentlypublished biography of F.

Mr.. ANDREW LANG, one of the most cultivated and
agreeable of the English ~essayists who have come into
prominence during the last few years, has accepted
the editorship of the English edition of Harper's
Magazine.
Mrs. SToNEwALL JACKSON told a friend in Chatta-
nooga the other day that she had talked with numbers
of old Southern soldiers who had fought the war
through, and she knew they would respond as quickly
/ to the call to arms to protect the Union as they did in
1861 to sever it.
Mr. HOLMAN HUNTS beautiful picture of the Holy
Family, which received a cruel injury, has been so
skillfully repaired that, now it is painted over, no
trace of the break is left. As Mr.. Hunt, believing
it entirely spoiled, had reproduced the picture on
another canvas, there are now two perfect paint
ings.
LADY DUDLY, sister of the even more famous Lady
Mansfield, has the fortune to be considered the
handsomest woman in London, and the misfortune to
have a weak-minded, h~alfcrazy husband, to whom,
nevertheless, she is devoted, and is often seen driving
with him in a turnout that is unsurpassed in Hyde
Park.

out of the doleful cry for "White hus-
bands or none" The voice Of the Demo
cratic party is as the voice of one crying in
the wilderness, eight miles from the nearest
settlement and no path blazed. If this is to
continue a g government of the people, for the
people, by the people, Congress will let go
all other holds and attend to this matter at
once. Let Mr.. Cobb, who introduced the pc
tition, draft a bill to behead, draw and quar-
ter any and all Chinese approaching within
one hundred miles of the coasts of Knox,
Sullivan and Daviess counties, and if any
should attempt to set up a wash-house within
the limits of these Democratic strongholds
let them be burned and their ashes scattered
as fertilizers. The Democrats of those
ties must be saved at any cost.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1884-04-08

THE sturdy Democratic yeomanry of Sulli-
van, Knox and Daviess counties, Indiana, nave
formally forwarded a petition to Congress
praying that laws be passed ~forbidding Chi
nese immigration. In view of the fact that
no Chinese has yet been found ~benighted
enough to wander off into such Democratic
Businesses, and of the further fact that Demo
Gratis have a constitutional ~antipathy to wash
ing, this petition would seem to be a work of
supererogation. However, since the Demo
cratic majority has failed to do anything to-

that 'it is the sense Of this union that mem
bership in the State militia is inconsistent
with the duties and obligations of trades
unionists, and members of this union who are
also members of the Ohio National Guard are
hereby requested to withdraw from the latter
organization at the earliest day practicable"
No more outrageous insult to workingmen was
ever penned than this, and by an organiza-
ton assuming to represent workingmen! 1t
is tantamount to saying that the %riotous,
property-destroying mobs, against which the
militia is called out at times when the civil
peace officers are unable to restore order, are
composed of workingmen. 'Past experience"
demonstrates that the assertion is a wanton
libel. Mobs are not composed of w~Orkingmen.
They are composed of hoodlunls, idlers, dead
beats, petty thieves. This is the "demonstra-
tion" of ''past experience" time and again, and
it was the demonstration" of the recent Gin
cinnati riots, as all unbiased reports corrobo-
rate. The property of the country, the pub
lie order, the lives of the community are safe
if it be left for the ~workingmen to imperil and
destroy them. Society does not suffer from
~workingmen. Workingmen are honest men;
they are good citizens; they do not kill people
wantonly, nor pillage stores, nor burn public
property. They are in favor of law and order,
the resolutions of the Cincinnati Topographic
cal Union to the contrary Notwithstanding.

COLONEL JOHN S., WILLIAMS, of the La
fayette Sunday Times, who has been spend
ing some time in Washington City, writes in
the last issue of his paper:
THE great want of the Democratic party
to-day is a leader-a man with the ability
and the nerve to lay down a policy, and around
whom the party will rally. Why, every Demo
cratic popinjay in Congressman there are
quite a number of them-has a tariff bill of
his own! Fact. A Democratic mutton-head
from the north part of the State, who doesn't
know a tariff from abuz-saw, has introduced
two or three tariff bills in the shape of amend
ments to the present law. And 30 it goes
along the whole line, every fellow on his W
hook"
This remark must refer to the Hon. Thomas
Jefferson Wood, of the Tenth district. Com
pliments of Colonel Williams to the great
Democratic statesman from Crown Point.

methods to seeure acquittal, but rather for
his shrewdness in d%evising and executing
methods for the defeat of law. The criminal
lawyer is an expert in cajoling, bully-ragging
and ho~Odwinking "intelligent j%uries." ASH
the case of Berner, at Cincinnati, he makes
out cold-blooded murder to be but man
slaughter, and could, in his own words, have
brought about acqpittal had he so desired.
Law and justice will be better and stronger
without the criminal lawyer. Society can
readily spare him. There need be no con-
fusion between reputable attorneys and the
criminal lawyer. The former has respect for
law, and is honorable. The latter is devoid
of both.

THE widow of Prince Leopold will not take
in plain sewing just yet. She has an assured
income of $40, 900 a year. 1t pays to be born
into the royal family, p~ensioned, as it is, by
taxes laid on the people. There is little
wonder that Irishmen are uneasy. The time
will come when Englishmen will repudiate the
idea of keeping a lot of royal good-for-nothings
in luxury at the expense of honest and indus
trious people.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1884-04-08

THE term criminal lawyer" as generally
understood, has a well-defned meaning about
which there can be no mistake. His peculiar
methods, so full of trickery and questionable
articles, have won an %unenviable fame for
him. There is such a thing as an honorable
defense of even the worst classes of criminals,
and there are honorable lawyers who accept
fees in defense of even notorious offenders
against the law. But the Criminal lawyer
does not belong to this class. He has built up
a reputation for clearing murderers and other
desperate men, by tricks known but to
himself and in utter defiance of
law and justice. The men who en-
ploy him do SO not for what he knows of legal
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1884-04-08

A WILD correspondent has started the re-
port that the authorities will not dare investi-
gate the late riots at Cincinnati; that there
was no need of military, nor for them to open
fire; that they fired on unoffending people;
that such of the policemen and militia as
were shot were shot by the military, etc. If
this be so, there is that much greater reason
for investigation. 1t may yet be proved that
there was no mob at all. Investigation will
do no harm.

Hon. JOHN JAY KNOX, Comptroller of the
Currency, has resigned his position to accept
the presidency of a New York banking house.
Mr.. Knox has been in the Currency Bureau
for seventeen years, entering it as a minor
officer, being made chief about twelve years
since, during which time he has aided
greatly in the work of systematizing and
making permanent the national banking sys-
tenn. Mr.. Knox's retirement takes a COM

THE loss of the Daniel Steinmann, with
five score lives, is a terrible disaster, and cal
culated to deter timid people who had con-
templated an ocean voyage. But when it is
borne in mind that there are Is, 1000 steamships
on the high seas, and not less than 100, 900
sailing vessels, it is not strange that wrecks
should occur. Human life is about as safe
aboard ship as on the cars, though the terrors
of an ocean disaster are more appalling than a
smash-up by c~olliding coaches.
