The President as a Reformer.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. A.-Presdent Cleveland
poses as reformer, indeed. He wouldn't let
General Rosecrans Register of the Treasury,
go on the stump in Ohio because he thought it
would 'look bad" 1t is not probable, however,
that General Rosecrans grieved very much and
lay awake O. nights because he was deprived of
this privilege. The Generals friends say that
he was not very anxious to put himself against
Sherman, and Foster, and Butterworth, and
others, who are talking on the stump in the
Buckeye State Although it was shown that
the President was a reformer, some surprise
was expressed here whom General Rosecrans
gave out as his excuse for not going to Ohio that
the President directed that he should not do SO.
History shows that men who have posed as such
complete reformers as President Cleveland, who
does not believe that the federal employe should
vote, even have failed almost invariably. The
members of his party are very much chagrined
at this new turn he has taken. and heartily dis
approve of it. 1t may be, though that this
course is in direct harmony with the Presidents
views on civil-service reform.

MINOR MATTERS.
Expectation that the Administration Will

Expectation that the Administration Will
Make Itself Felt in Legislation.
Special to tfe Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Sept 24-In congressional cir
cles it is believed that the present administra-
ton will exert more influence to bring about de-
sired legislation than have any of past admins
tratioLs. It is stated that the entire Cabinet
will join with the President in exerting his ut
most endeavors to bring about desired legisla-
tion on the silver question. This is to please
the fnanciers of New York city. Tariff and all
other questions are to be lost sight of in push
ing the end wished for in this direction. 1t is
not the purpose of the administration to divide
its strength by giving attention to anything
else than financial legislation. By concentrating
its full power on money matters, and especially
on the silver question, the belief prevails in ad
ministration ranks, that the coinage of silver
can be stopped. The distribution of Offices, and,
in fact, the granting of all kinds of favors by
the President and his Cabinet, is to be done with
view to catching votes in the House. The bit
is to be drawn firmly on everyone who wants
places. 1t is very likely that the country will
be given exhibition of the power an admins
tration has over Congress, and of how far repre-
sentatives in that body can be influenced by
spoils.

LIMA, Sept. 24-Arrests of persons suspected
of political disaffection to the government still

dressed communication to Senior Nicholas
de Pierot, the ex-dictator, informing him that it
was deemed advisable that he should absent
himself from Peruvian territory for the time
being; and inclosing a passport Eight days
were allowed him in which to leave 1t is be-

possibly, some of his adherents may have
compromised him by a toofree expression of
opinion. The newspapers are silent regarding
the matter, perhaps from fear of sharing his
exile The editors of the Nacional and Conner
cio of Lima, are both in durance and no one is
allowed to visit them. Senor Alyeras. formerly
Minister of Foreign Affairs, is prisoner and
some other citizens, more or less distinguished.
Since the publication of the projects offer of 6.

ton regarding Vaccinations against the govern
ment, a number of informers have appeared
Many of she prisoasxs now confined are persons

General Caceres, at last advices, was quietly
sojourning at Tarma. His forces, now COM

Further south, at Pischa, lea and Chincha. the
Cacerists are more active Those three places
have fallen into their hands, and in consequence
an order has been issued by the treasury de-

Bulgaria It is also inconceivable that Prince

Bulgaria. It is also nconcevable that Prince
Alexander, on his own notion would have
thrown down the glove to Turkey. The country
he has annexed lies between his pr!ncipality and
Constantnople, and stretches almost to the gates
of that capital. Between it and Bulgaria there
are the Balkan mountains which can easily be
made an impossible barrier to hostile army.
Between it and Constantinople there is no
military obstacle. Prince Alexander, before
he was the ruler of Bulgaria, was German sol
dier, and is now Prussian major general. He
knows. and every subaltern in his army knows,
that if Turkey choose to fight, and he were un-
supported, he could no more seize Roumela
than he could seize Stamboul. If it were only
question of driving the Bulgarian pretender
and his army out of Roumeia the Sultan would
not hesitate moment, but he does not know
with how many Of the powers he would have to
reckon, and, therefore, he temporizes and ap-
peals.
As to the attitude of the central European
powers toward Prince Alexander, it may be
summed up in this: NOW that you have gone
and done it, it is all right; but. for Gods sake,
don't say that we told you" The moderation of
the British newspapers in discussing the Rou-
meian affair is source of surprise and great
qualification to the officials at st. Petersburg.
They believe now that Great Britain will never
take up the cudgel against Prince Alexander,
and they are disposed to attribute this partly to
the fact that his next brother, Prince Henry of
Battenburg, has just been admitted TO the
charmed circle of English royalty by his mar
rlage to Princess Beatrice.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator Logan has
been suffering very much during the past two

this, and has been for years, so that at times he
is almost disabled so far as moving about is
concerned. Most of the old war horses who
fought in Mexico and during the rebellion have

HEAVIEST TAXPAYERS


1t has been customary since 1874 to publish
annually in the NEW NORTHWEST list Of
the heaviest tax payers in Deer Lodge
county. In 1875 there were 70 persons paid
over 500 taxes; in 1876 there were 90 persons;
in 1877 there were ITO persons, in 1873 there
were 155 persons; In 1879 there were 165. In
1880 only those who paid s125 or over were
published, and they numbered $40. In 1881,
on account Of the division of the county and
reduction in the rate of taxation to IL mills
on the dollar, we returned to the 500 basis,
and the list that year contained SO names. In
1882 the tax levy was reduced to Is mills, and
the list contained 81 names. This year the
general levy for the county is 16 mills, and
we append below ia names of. those paying
500 taxes or over. While this is as nearly
as they can be presented, it should be re-
membered it is not exact, as many persons,
even aside from the amounts shown, pay in
several different companies or firms, none Of
which may reach 500, and yet which in the
aggregate may exceed that amount.-NEw

DINING CAR BURNED.
A Kitchen Confiagration on the Rail.
Independent, 11h.


j. A. 6eodhue representing the Geneva Nur-
sery, New York, returned last evening from
Townsend and informed the Independent Of
the burning of Northern Pacific dining car
on the delayed Friday mornings train, which
left here yesterday at p. m. The fire was
discovered just this side Of Townsend by a
lady in the coach. who Immediately gave
the alarm, and the train was stopped. The
employees of the dining car, who sleep
there, were awakened and barely got out
with their clothes. The front part Of the
train was Immediately detached and all
hands set TO work to push the sleeper away
from the dining car, which was in front and
all On fire. The flames had already reached
the palace car, and 1t was with some difficult
ty thst they were separated. This being
done, the passengers bearded the front of the
train and were taken to Townsend, and the
engine returned and was attached to the
trucks and all that remained Of the dining
car. The chain that connected the two
broke and in some manner struck the dining
car conductor, Thompson, who was hurled
to the ground and received bad fracture OF
the left leg. The truck of the car was then
pushed over and the. engine coupled to the
Pullman, and the train proceeded, carrying
Mr.. Thompson to St. Paul, where he will be
treated for his broken limb
Nothing was saved from the dining car,
and the origin of the fire is unknown, but Is
supposed 20 have been caused by the explo-
sion Of the furnace. The rear door Of the
car was open and . window in front, and the
breeze through the car helped the fiery ele-
ment to do its work In few minutes.
