MES in New York. These companies do
not take gold on deposit and never have, and
there is no more private boarding now
than there always is.
We do not mean to say that Wall street
with the gold bugs cannot make panic. 1t
has often started a movement for gain,
which to its own surprise and dismay,
outgrew it and brought panic about its
ears; but we do mean to say that if Presi-
dent Cleveland's new Secretary of the
Treasury will steer clear of the Sherman
Windom-F olger- McCuiloch collision with
the New York Clearing House, and treat
silrer eractly as he does gold. which is the
law, he will avert all panicky tendencies
and show to the world that the best way
to avoid contraction is not by choking off
from the currency of the country COIN
stream of 100000 a month pouring into
it. The panic threat is the curb with which
Wall street always rides the nation to its
own profit. We are not certain if it would
not be better that the national steed should
run off for once and throw these financiers
| out of the saddle. Every panic that has
| happened in this country in the last thirty
! five years have been the direct, open, and
plain result of Wall street gambling in
stocks. Depression comes from stagnated
! but legitimate trade, but panics are the
exclusive fruit of the New York idea. -

The PEABODY NORMAL SCHOOL.-A
determined effort is being made in Wood
stock to secure the Peabody Normal School
there (instead of Staunton) this summer.
A committee of citizens is waiting On the
town and securing the names of those who
can accommodate some of the 300 teach
ers. Stanton will have to act more liber-
ally than she is doing-offers have been
made here to take about 200 teachers, but
in nearly every case the price fixed is SIS
a month, which is higher figure than the
teachers have paid elsewhere. The citf-
zens of Fredericksburg will hold a meeting
next Tuesday night to take steps to get the
school held in that town,

mildly, no small degree of disappointment

Liquor Cases Dis missed.

The Hedderich liquor case decision that went
to the Supreme Court on the question of the
quantity of liquor sold being essential allega-
ton has led to the quashing of the proceedings
againt the following saoon-keepers: Stephen
Mattler, two cases; Scott Baker, three; James
Connors Frank Weber, Henry Langenberg
and William Sextro, one each. Motions to ouash
have been made in the cases against James Nc
Bride and Lon Regius. The Supreme Court
held that the quantity sold must be alleged, and
as the atfidavits were defective in this respect,
they are now upon the Criminal Court record as
having been quashed Next week the following
cases will be heard, and as they are like those
cited, the same result no doubt will occur: John
Sanders, Henry Smith. John W. Borne, Simon

All About q Hog.

Ed Harris sold Nathan Richardson lot of
hogs and not being present at the time the pur-
chaser took them away, alleges that he got one
moro animal than he bought. Richardson claimed
that he drove away only what he was entitled
to, and if Harris had lost hog it was not
through him. They went to court about it, Har-
ris suing to recover the value of the animal,
which he identified in the lot Richardson took to
the stockyards. The trial came on before Judge
Walker, yesterday, and it was in testimony, two
prominent attorneys contesting little by little
for their respective clients, that this particular
hog had reached an age of decrepitude The
defense said it was humpbacked, ate ducks, was
lean and always hungry; that it had snout Of
considerable length and thinness. and could,
through the rails of fence, turn
up the second row of potatoes
therefrom. Attorney Elan appeared against
the animal, and asked witness: 'Of all
the thousands of hogs you have seen at the
stockyards did you ever see one as bad as this2'
mo. 1t is the worst hog ever saw"
Harris wants the animal or Judgment for SI4.

Drinking-Saloons in Kansas.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
Perhaps the writer is as great friend to the
cause of temperance as ''El Perkins," and most
certainly would do nothing to impede its prog
ress. But when Eli tries to make the public
believe that there is not a saloon in Kansas. he
either went through the State with his eyes
shut, does not know saloon when he sees it, or
was very badly informed Speaking of prohibi-
ton. Eli says: at has grown in favor from the
CONNIE ncement. until now every saloon in the
State is absolutely sealed up" Had Mr.. Perkins
taken the trouble to stop off at Cherryvale, In
dependence, Kiowa, Kingman, Saratoga, Lake
City, Medicine Lodge and numerous other
places, he would have found saloons in abuud-
ance, and all doing thriving business Then,
when Eli works off the old chestnut that there is
no social drinking. and that no man can treat
another, he shows his misinformation
again. Any man that wants a drink
of whisky in Kansas can get it in any town by
saying he has the toothache. earache stomach
ache, or any other kind of ache from his toe up
The drug stores are there for that business, and
supply the demand without fear favor or appre-
hension OF future proceedings. Many who do
not want to be bothered by buying by the
small send to Kansas City for their supply, and
the picture is not overdrawn when it is said
that intoxicants are shipped to towns Of not
over 1000 inhabitants in haif-car lots, all being
consigned to individuals ''for family use" In
Kansas, as in Kentucky, Georgia and other
States where the sentiment of the general public
favors temperance, local option prevailed long
before the prohibitory law was enacted In such
communities there are no open saloons but the
drug store" is there in all its pride and glory.
the constitutional amendment was to 90 before
the people for another vote it would be defeated.

To read some Of the Boston papers one might
be led into the belief that President Watrous, of

man. He is likely, therefore, to be replaced
within few years by Receiver Clark, of the

bany is expected to sit quietly by and allow the

Company was filed in the United States Court

company entered into a contract to furnish 500

in sixty equal monthly payments. The car

claimed, aggregate 4S.060 and the liability of
the car company, therefore. is $240. 800. Judg-

penalty of imprisonment was made light in con-

case. He was stricken with remorse after COM
hitting the crime, and voluntarily came to Indi-
annapolis to surrender himself to the government
officers. He has paid the fine.
