lage have formed what they call starvation
Club" but which is in reality temperance
club, though they object to that name. These
young men, some of them farmers sons and
lumbermen, with little to do in the winter,
have been accustomed to spend most of their
years earnings during the winter season in
ways neither physically nor morally profitable.
This season they considered the matter. and
agreeing that their fun was costing too much
entered into contract with each other that
for one year they would totally abstain from
using any intoxicating liquors whatever, and
in case of violation, the one guilty should
pay into the club the sum of $25 Without
any noise or flourish they have established a
reading room where they can spend their even

suits of their enterprise beneficial and salts

JUDGE GREsHAM's temporary release of the
Chicago scoundrels, who, after enormous
efforts were brought to punishment for their
election frauds, is arousing apprehension, as
well it may, that again legal jugglery and re-
fined notions of the weight and worth Of tech
nical points may overthrow substantial
justice. indianapolis News.
There appears to have been no doubt as to
the guilt of the defendants, under the law.
1t is only a question as to whether they
should have been arraigned under an indict-
ment or proceeded against upon information.
This is a technical question and one not en-
tering into the gravamen of the offense. If
the defendants were guilty, might they not
very properly have been sentenced to the pun
ishment prescribed by the district courtg And
pending the investigation of this technical
question, rather than let them 60 free, with the
question of even guilt in allegiance, as it is by
this ruling of Judge Gresham, would it not
have been we'll to let them enter upon their
richly deserved punishment

friends. Hendricks, the vice-president, was
notorious for his s'copperheadism" during
the war and hostility to the Union cause.
Nor does it appear that President Cleveland
during those awful years ever rendered a word
Of sympathy or encouragement to the soldiers
of the Union.
This, some are pleased to say is sthe era of
reconciliation We heartily wish that in
truth it was; that the soldier who wore the
uniform Of. his country would be
as free to speak of his service
as he who went off into rebellion:
We wish the time were at hand when the
Union soldier might refer to his services with
out being rebuked by those protesting de-
cent respect for loyalty. The day should
come when impudent upstairs should be COM
PEELED to keep their hands off the name and
fame of dead and dying servants of the
country. The day should come, in this
glorious ftera of reconciliation when paper
may demonstrate against the ghouls who raw
ish the Nations dead without being publicly
threatened with violence. The day
should come when patriotic legisla-
tors shall have the moral courage to rise
in their seats and rebuke partisan scoundrel-
ism every time it shows it's ugly head. In
stead of an 'era of reconciliation" we have an
age of whining. 1t would seem that under a
Democratic administration no man can afford
to lay claim to patriotic instincts or decent
self-respect We need in our halls Of legisla-
ton, State and national, men with courage
enough to stand up for the right-men like
the men Of 81, who took their lives in their
hands to go forth to the defense Of their coun-
try. We want papers with the nerve
abuse Of Union soldiers is infamous. The
Journal believes that only by the main
tenance Of such doctrines is the perpetuity Of
the Union and our beloved institutions as
sured. There is no spleen in line we have
here written. It is only feeble attempt to
point out the danger that threatens the
American people. When the time shall have
come that it is a shame to defend loyalty, and
glory to be possessed of reasonable record,
then is patriotism farce and the badge of
loyalty confession Of shame. And then
comes the end.

THE wrath of some good folk over the an
nouncement of the closing of the Interior De-
partment at Washington, in memory of the
death of Jacob Thompson, who was once the
Secretary thereof, and afterward turned rebel,
is righteous. Of all the men who went into
rebellion none were meaner, and no one played
a more dastardly part.-News.
1t is an unspeakable outrage that should be
resented by many more than the ''some good
folk" alluded to by the News. The closing of
the Interior Department to-day in honor of
the memory of the most cowardly, bastard
traitor who ever disgraced his citizenship-a
man who hired assassins and fire-bugs, and
was connected with conspiracy to introduce
smallpox and yellow fever into the cities of
the North-is a national shame and humilia-
ton. 1t sho Id be rebuked by an indignant
protest that even the inert lump of stolidity
in the White House would be made to hear
and understand.

The general understanding Is that
this is likely to be Mr.. Stephen
W. Morgan, brother of Mrs. Hen
bricks; SO that by this pleasing arrangement
the vice-president not only pays debt, butat
the same time provides for member of the
household, while personally avoiding the aw-
full charge of 'snepotism," of which he was
afraid should he recommend Mr.. William
Henderson, who is a cousin by marriage. But
there is still another view of the case
Mr.. Cleveland evidently did not feel like
breaking with Mr.. Hendricks over so small a
matter as postmastership, and so gave way;
but it is plain that the price of it is
that Mr. Hendricks must ask no more. It
is at very great cost of personal and official
dignity that Mr.. Hendricks has purchased the
indianapolis postoffice for four years, and we
give warning now to Indiana Democrats that
this crumb given the vice-president does not
mean that he is the power behind the throne,
so far as this State is concerned. There could
be no worse mistake than to suppose that Mr.
Hendricks is ION top" He is in the condition

THE whole question involved was whether
Viee-president Hendricks should be allowed to
pay off an old debt to an old friend and an old
citizen with the postmastership, or whether
Congressman Bynum should be permitted to
pay off recent debt to a recent friend and a
recent citizen, whom nobody knows, and who
has had no Identification with the city The
twaddle about principle being involved in
the contest is the sheerest idiocy. The only

service or the rights of the public.

CONGRESSMAN w. D. BYNUM has s'busted
his boom before it really got well under way.
There is no deader man in the Democratic
party just now than Bynum. Had he sue
ceeded in forcing his man into Office, he would
have been in better shape; but to have ignored
all the old workers Of the party, and "gone his
full length" for presumptuous stranger, only
to be beaten, leaves him in very bad shape.
Mr.. Bynum will not be troubled with the
question of denomination.

scarcely to be expected that our citizens would

was contemplate, and unworthy both the

THE MAN WHO rs HONORED,

Colonel L. Q. G. Lamar, Of the late C. s. A..
United States, has ordered the flag of the In
terror Department to be displayed at half
mast, and the department and its bureaus,
which includes the Bureau Of Pensions, to be
closed, because of the death of Jacob Thomp-
son, once his predecessor in the same office.
This is the same Jacob Thompson under
whose rule as Secretary Of the Interior, several
millions of the Indian trust fund bonds we're
stolen.
This is the same Jacob Thompson who left
his place as Secretary Of the Interior to enter
the service of the Southern Confederacy.
This is the same Jacob Thompson who acted
as the agent Of the rebellious States in trying
to organize force in Canada to liberate the
confederate prisoners at Johnson's island.
This is the same Jacob Thompson who tried
to organize party of rebels and assassins in
Canada to liberate the prisoners of war at
Camp Morton, and then to assassinate Gov
e-nor Morton, and seize upon the United
States Armory and supplies in the city of In
dianapolis, and burn the city.
This is the same Jacob Thompson who was
part and parcel of the conspiracy to spread
smallpox in the cities of the North.
This is the same Jacob Thompson who was
part and parcel Of the conspiracy to distribute
ellow-fever-infected rags into the hospitals
and armies Of the Union.
And yet, within twenty days after Demo
cratic President enters into the White House,
a man of~such infamous character is honored
by having the one department of the govern
ment having in especial charge the care of the
Union soldiers disabled by war, and their
widows and orphans, closed in Difference to his
memory.
If the confederates can, within twenty days
from the Inauguration Of their first President
after the close of the war, so honor such a
man as Jacob Thompson, what may not be
done in few short years of their rule?
