Unfortunately there is in France very little,
indeed of that spirit which induces thousands of
ladies and of gentlemen in England and Amer
ica to devote their money and time to doing good
for its own sake. Philanthropy is here so gener-
ally regarded as the exclusive business of the
church or the government that people feel as if
they were working against both in attempting
disinterested enterprises. And in quiet but
most effective way the church (most unwisely
for it's own ultimate interesrs and the govern
ment, do all in their power to identify charity
with themselves. The result has been to inter
pose fresh barriers or distances between the
poor and those who would have been their
benefactors. The priest and the prefect say
to the rich man: $50 you would give to the
poor. Do so by all means, but hand your
money over to us to distribute It is our busi-
ness" The money given, it is the priest and
prefect who contrive to get three-fourths of the
credit Now human nature is so constituted that
it likes, when it gives, to get full credit for its
goodness, or at least not to see another get most
of it. So those who are not churchmen slow
to give, and the good people say it is only the
pious who have any humanity. AS [ write,

A Late Season for Politics.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20-The season for poll
tics and business is expected to open very late
in Washington this winter Usually at the be-
ginning of Congress there is a campaign for the
speakership. and good deal of struggling over
the several Offices in the reorganization of the
House. Since the speakership goes by default to
Mr.. Carlisle, the contest for other places will
hardly induce members to come here before De-
cember. The hotels present very barren ap-
pearance, only the office-seekers and very few
legislators being seen. The society season will
not begin until late in January, giving only
about ten weeks of the festivities, as the warm
sunshine of spring closes the season. This state
of things makes dull times for the merchants
and the city unattractive to visitors.

The Senate and the President.

epeclal 20 the inulanapol6 Journal
WAsHINGToN, Sept. 20.-There is but little
doubt that the nominations made by the Presi
dent since the 4th of March last will attract
much attention in the Senate this winter AL
though great many stories have been sent out
about Republican senators intriguing with the
President to trade influences, whereby the nom
nations are to be supported by sufficient Repub
licans to secure prompt confirmation, there
will be pretty firm resistance On the part of all
Republican senators to a number of the nomina-
tions. All these reports about Republican sen
ators trading with the President are denied, and
the senators who have had the finger of sus-
picion pointed at them will undoubtedly be
more anxious to show their Republicanism, so
that where good men have been removed be-
cause they were Republicans, to give places to
Democrats who were offensive politicians and in
capable of performing the duties of the office,
questions will be raised which will be serious.

Texas Congressman Will Not Consent to a
Division of That Great State.

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept 20.-Although the Consti
tuition of Texas under which it was admitted to
the union of States, provides that, by popular
vote and the sanction of Congress, it may be
divided into two or more States, the representa-
tives in both branches of the national legislature
from that State say that they will oppose any
move looking towards division for the purpose
of ofsettng the admission Of Dakota Territory
or anything else. For many years there has
been more or less talk about cutting Texas up
nto two or three States and this has always
been harped upon since it beca me
State when it was proposed
to bring into the Union Republican Territory.
Since the delegation from Texas to Congress will
have more to say about this matter than any
body else, people who are interested one way or
the other in seeing that mighty State cut up
may just AS well disabuse their minds of any
expectations they may possess in that direction.
1t seems to be pretty well settled that when Da-
.kota is admitted, one of the Democratic Terri
Washington, Wyoming, Utah, or New
Mexco-will be admitted as an offset.

cial Governor of Roumela. The Bulgarian
Chamber of Deputies will be convoked on Tues

of 1000 men. Russian officers command the
bulk of the Roumelian militia. Bands of Bull
garians, under the command of Russian officers,
are entering Roumelia. Advices from Berlin and

the tone was weak. except for American rail

exercised depressing influence, and trade re-
ports were less favorable. The rise in Ameri-

dollars in speculative response to the operations

Counterfeit Oil Barrels.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20-The Standard Oil
Company of Cleveland have had their attention
called to the fact that throughout Austria and
the continent their barrels and brands for Pc
troleum are being counterfeited in the sale of
Galician oil. This article of illuminating fluid is
very inferior to the petroleum sold by the Stand
ard Oil Company, and the practice of
counterfeiting is running the American trade on
the continent and some portions of Europe. 1t
is very probable that the Standard Oil Company
will employ attorneys in Austria and other
countries to bring suits for damage.

The Trap the Democrats Expect to Spring
just Before the Election.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20-It leaked out in
Democratic circles here to-day that there is to
be concentrated effort made, during the last
week of the campaign in Ohio, to defeat Senator
Sherman Democrats in every State will con-
tribute to this end. Money is being collected in
New York and all through the South for the
purpose of electing Democratic Legislature.
1t comes here from first hands that special anx
ETY. is felt in the South about Senator Sherman's
campaign. Besides money, other resources are
to be resorted to. For several days there have
been Ohio Democrats here looking up old scan
dals, that were started against Mr.. Sherman in
the spring of 1880, affecting his Secre-
tary of the Treasury. All these old lies, which
were so completely exploded about purchases he
made ont of the contingent fundof the Treasury,
and the way he used his Office to get votes in the
convention that nominated General Garfield, are
being prepared, and it is intended that they shall
be reproduced in a sensational way just day or
two before the election, when it will be too late
to properly refute them. Now that their scheme
has been detected however, it may not be at
tempted. The administration is said to feel d
keen interest in this matter. If Senator Sher-
mans defeat for reelection can be assured, the
Democratic leaders would consider that power
ful blow has been delivered to the Republican
party and that it will have the effect of securing
victory at the approaching elections in other
States. Congressman Warner and Anderson, of
Obio are said to have the rehashng Of the anti
quated scandals against Sherman in charge.
They have been here several days.
