The Twain-Cable Entertainment.

A large audience N last evening
in the Plymouth Church to listen to the
joint readings of Mark Twain, the greatest
of humorists. and the renowned novelist,
George W. Gable. Ths entertainment was
unique and pleasing, and the audience
was in a high state of hilarity throughout the
evening Mr.. Cable, an active little man,
with q pleasant and intelligent face, attired
in a full evening dress suit, stepped out of
the vestry room on the rostrum, n without
the f0rmality OF an introduction began to
tell about Narcisse the Creole and John and
Mary Richling. The former had one fail
ing, that CT borrowing money, with no in
tention of ever paying 1t back again,
and Mr.. Cables description of the manner in
which he sets about to secure John Richling
$50 causes uproarious laughterand applause.
Naricisse discovers that ohm has placed that
amount in the hands OF DR.. Sewer for safe
keeping and feels that he must borrow it.
He explains to John and Mary the good re.
suits OF investing money, and finally con-
cludes by saying: "Mistoo Ichlin, in fact L
can baw that fifty dolla' fom you myself
Mr.. Cable retires midst great applause,
and there is much cath usiasm when
the awkward and lanky Mark Twain ambles
to the front. After gazing steadily at the
hscr for q few seconds the great humorist
begins his selection, Advance Sheets from
the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. :"
Huckle berry and Jim discuss "King Soller-
nun" at great length, and the latter can
not be induced to believe that he was
q wise man. Jim is ~astonishad when
Huck informs him that Kings get as much IS
1000 a month-part in groceries. Mr..
Cables next selection, kate Rlley.Richling
and Ristofalo," is well received and Twain's
Tragic Tale of the Fishwlfe'' is the cause OF
great hilarity. Mr.. Gable then sings several
creole songs in q rich voice and is loudly en-.
cored. "a Trying Situation" By Twain, is
very ludicrous. 'Mary's Night Ride" is rem.
deIed in a most graphic manner by Mr..
Cable, holding bis audience spell-bound to

CLUBBING THE MErRoPoLIrANs.

Our Republican local contemporaries, now
that the Legislature is assembling, have
armed themselves with billets and engaged
N a vigorous assault upon the Metropolitan
police of Indianapolis. This is nothing new,
however. Indeed, they organized a war
upon the Mets before the latter were in
esse. They even fought the bill in the
Legislature of which the Nets are the Off
spring. Having had only enmity for the
tree, it is not surprising that they have dis
taste for its fruit.
Well, il is hardly to be wondered at that
the Republican papers LOOK with jaundiced
eyes upon our Metropolitan police. Their
installation was a sad blow TO the eccus-
toned Republican devices in indianapolis.
As our contemporaries eyed the Metropoli-
tsns on the 4th OF November using their
offices solely for the preservation OF good or
der rather than ia bulldozing timid persons
TO vote the Republican ticket, their imprecs-
tons against the boys must have been vigor-
Gus. But when the following daY they were
impelled TO record q sweeping Democratic
victory IA Marion Costly they dsterm-
ined to resort to outright clubbing o
the ~non-psrtissn officers and the police
board. Henes the war they are waging. One
excuse is as good as another for the use of
these angered Republican papers against the
force whose manly performance of duty on
the Attn Of November made impossible a repe.
tition of the Republican frauds and bull
dozings which had characterized former
election days. Let our unhappy contem-
poraries state whatever other grounds OF dis
satisfaction they may, the real cause lies in
the one stated.
The Metropolitan police administration
of Indianapolis needs no defense. Every
fsir-mizded citizen recognizes that we have
had under it the most respectable
and trustworthy force the city has
ever known. Despite the intense excite.
ment of the campaign year, with Its numer
Gus excursions, political gatherings, pro
c~essions and parsdes, the best of order pre-
vailed throughout 1884. The election day
formed no exception to the rule. Compared
with 1882 aud 1880, it was Sabbath-like in it:
quietness. The police have had to contend
with hordes of tramps and nomadic thieve:
more, perhaps, than has the force of any
city of similar siza in the country, owing tc
the greater number of railroads running Il
Indianapolis. And yet there is not a city
of equal population that has suffered les
from Expectations from thieves. The excel
lent order which has prevailed has attracted
admiring comment from visitors even from
New England towns.
The Metropolitan police have done and
are doing the city good service. They will
not be removed even by the editorial clubs
of the dissatisfied Republican papers.

SPIRIT OF THE STATE PRESS.

Fort Wayne Sentinel: Farmers who hold
their products for higher prices are making
a great mistake. As soon as they sell and
place the money thus obtained Ia circula-
ton there will be not only an advance in the
price of their products, but an increased
confidence with the OeOple, which will great
ly benefit them in the future.

good resolutions is akin TO making money"

a population smaller than Indiana, has 16S
Savings Banks, the deposits in which

session having in view the encouragement
of these institutions. Thu average dividends
paid OF deposits in Massachusetts, last year
was over 4 per cent.
White County Democrat: 1t is time for
America TO assert supremacy on this CONT

should prepare, by rebuilding her navy and
