A Clever Nun.


New YORK IhHtNVuAthIs
When Mohammed Ahmed made his tyi-
umphant entry into FL Obeid, he called on tho
Christians to change their religion and acknawi=
edge him as the Messiah whose coming was
foretold in holy writ 9ae of the French Sisters
of Mercy, stepping forward. replied that it Was
said in the Bible that the Messiah would make
himself known by his miracles, and he would ~
move all doabts as to his identity by kindly pos-
forming one for the benefit of herself and her
colleagues. The Mahdi answered that her IA
quest was perfectly reasonable, but that the time
for the working of miracles had not yet eoEs.e
Meanwhile. however, he would take the mis-
sonaries under his proteetion, with view TO
preparing them for conversion pending the day
when he would dazzle them all by his exploits
The courageous nun, in all probability, saved
herself aud her fellow Christians by this clever
reply which placed Mohammed Ahmed in an
awkward dilemma

More of DIR. Glenn's Mismanagement.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
find the following in this mornings Sentinel
Milton II. Geyer has been appointed steward of the
Deaf and Dumb Asylum. Mr.. Geyer has long been
acquainted with all the details of the institution and
brings to the position fine executive ability and expe
rience in mercantile life The appointment gives
surance that the institution is to be conducted
business principles.
The facts are these. On the LIST Of September
1883, this man Geyer and his family were
brought here from a little place called Laurel,
in Franklin county by Mr.. Winston, the present
trustee. do not think Mr. Geyer was ever in
side of this institution before he came here to
get the place. He formerly kept restaurant
and ice cream saloon. He was first appointed
Waterman and his wife as house
keeper. This give him double
lever, and the two combined to run the institu-
ton by hoodwinking DIR. Glenn into their ways
of doing things The result is that about twenty
eight good aud faithful persons have been dis
charged just because they dared to speak their
opinions AS Waterman Mr.. Geyer was the
worst the institution ever had. Complaints
going to the office all the time from differ
ent employees, but no notice was taken Of them.
The second month Geyer got his wages raised.
At the same time his daughter is boarded in the
institution at the expense of the State, which is
contrary to law. He and his wife have
become an element of discord and worked con
luSlOn through Dne INSTITUTION, DOtn dElOllS Vic
teachers and employees They make laws and
rules for the government of the institution, and
DIR. Glenn signs them. At last Geyer is APP
pointed to the stewardship of the institution
great mistake. He is totally ignorant of the
duties of this Office he is ignorant of the sign"
language; he knows nothing about farming, or
even producing farm products He knows moth
ing about governing or controlling the children.
Windows are broken by wholesale, and other
depredatons are committed too numerous to
mo- nd xqtr M IS sill He
does not know the difference between dead
steer and a cow. He says he never har-
messed or embarrassed horse in his
life-using his own language He has
said he was as ignorant a mule as to the duties
of the steward There is not a sixteen year-old
boy in the institution but what would make a
better steward, and yet the Sentinel would have
its party and readers believe this man Geyer was
efficient person for the Office he now disgraces.
The State of Indiana has no use for such men
as manager of any of her interests and unless
he steps down and out you will hear from me
again. OBSERVER.

A New Plan to Reduce the Revenue.

To tho Editor Of the indianapolis journal:
Now that the sober common sense of Congress
has defeated the infamous Morrison tariff bill,
would it not be well to try another plan for re-
ducing the revenuel 1t is found that the reduc-
ton in the tariff, as made in 1883, has made but
little reduction in the revenue, because of the in
creased importations growing out of that redue-
ton. Suppose we now try reducing the revenue
by increasing the tariff on everything we can
produce in this country. until we reduce impor-
tatiens to that point which will produce only the
amount of revenue needed. This plan while re-
ducing the revenue of the government, increases
the wealth of the people by keeping our money

This has always been the Comstoek notion.
Meadow Lake was the only mining town on the
Pacific coast that stuck up for the finger bowl.
The town is now dead. 1t may be that the finger
bowl killed it. 1t is said that in early days a
few finger bowls were in use in Johntown. Wen,

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Prohibition Question.

To the Editor NJ the indianapolis Journal:
notice that much is being said just now on
the above subject in its relation TO politics.
believe prohibition is political question, for it
has much to do with government; but do not
believe 1t should be made party question. To
make it such, is, / think, to degrade both Ques
ton and party. l am most emphatcally a pro
hibitionist, but to force prohibition as party
measure is not only to degrade the question, but
retard the cause of temperance But Mr.. Editor,
the thing wish to say is this: The Republican
party of Indiana has always been a temperance
party, and has consequently very few whiskyites
in its ranks. The consequence is the people have
generally come to regard the Republican party
as the friend of temperance and the Democratic
party as its enemy. SO truly does this hold
good, in southern Indiana, at least, that when
ever man gets drunk here the word is: He
has gone Democratic" Now, the thing to be
feared is this: The party has already said
enough and done enough TO drive nearly every
whisky vote into the Democratic party, but
has not done enough to satisfy the ardent
friends of prohibition, nnetenths of whom are
Republicans. Now, if the prohibition element
in the Republican party would view this matter
right they would certainly see that the Repub-
llean party is the only political organization
SFSA uiu "ih Vohhptlstifcc Ia tiAo t0uhRy'
Of course / am aware that the Greenback party
in this State comes squarely out for prohibition,
and think in so doing, they hope to get q
large slice of the Republican loaf. Now, if the
State convention could, in some way, satisfy
the element in the party who clanror Tor pro
hibition plank without committing the party in
the State to prohibition, it would, in my
opinion, give the party a majority of twenty
thousand this fall l do not believe in falling
back one inch so far as real opposition
to whisky is concerned and, j with
Mr.. Cumback. do not believe in cowardice; but
generalship is not eowardiee. For one | am in
favor of an amendment to the State Constitution,
prohibiting the manufacture and sale Of all in
toxicants. Let us elect men to the Legislature
who believe in the right of the people to decide
this matter for themselves If majority shall
say no" well and good. if Eyes" still better.
Let the convention simply reitefate that old Re
publican watehword 1.-The viii of the people is

at this thing, and ] think every reasonable Re
publican will be satisfied
