The statement by Mr.. Bynum of Mr.. Hen
dricks's relations to the Indianapolis postoffice
appointment will be read with interest. 1t
shows the Vice president at his best as a
Machiayellian politician. The words of his
private secretary, "Col." Hughes East, respect
ing Mr.. William Henderson, may be revela-
ton to many people, but they will be no sur
prise to those who know the utter and complete
selfshness and treachery Of Mr.. Hendricks
political character and conduct. Take his
own statement Of the case-that Mr.. Jones
was to be appointed, and any other candidate
for the office was unnecessary-and place ii
alongside of his request to Mr.. Henderson to
send him Endorsements, which Mr. Henderson
did, and the double-dealing of the man is
fully displayed. Mr.. Bynum's relations to
the affair are altogether more creditable than
those of Mr.. Hendricks, which are unquali-
fiedly discreditable

GENE HIGGINS, the great civil-service re-
former, serving as chief of staff to that other
apostle of reform, dan" Manning has de-
veloped scheme whereby the civil-seryice
law may be effectually evaded, and large
number of places bestowed upon the hungry
and thirsty partisan hordes. The next few
weeks and months will be full of interest po-
litically. The appointment of postmaster
to pay off the mugwump debt does not neces-
sarily imply the noontide blaze of the civil

CRY and very thirsty partisan There is
nothing safe from the lustful grasp of Indiana

AN ordinance was introduced into the City
Council last night increasing the license, or
tax, upon liquor saloons from $50 to 500 a
year. Pending the discussion the sHon. Sim
Coy the Democratic boss, gave notice that
all who dared to vote in its favor would
be remembered, he evidently being under the
impression that the whiskyites are in the ma
jority in the city Of Indianapolis. BY vote
of IL to 10 the ordinance was postponed for
two weeks. In the meantime there should be
such an expression of public sentiment upon
the question that weak-minded councilmen
would not be able to hesitate upon their vote
when the occasion comes. Tax payers, you have
just paid your taxes; they are per cent
higher than last year. Unless the revenue is
increased from the liquor saloons the taxes
will continue to grow heavier every year.
Will you go on quietly paying upon your
houses, and property, and business while the
whisky-sellers escape with little or nothingg
That is the question.

Mr.. HENDRICKS has been talking again,
and with his usual success. He addressed
himself to national politics, and he is reported
as saying: 'This is the formative period of
the Democratic party, restored to power 1t is
very important to get things in good running
order. The administration will have plenty

ing after the appointment of persons to Offices

and support" Won't some kindly disposed
person take the vice-president by the ear and
tell him that Eve have nothing whatever to do
with presenting measures" The Constitu-
ton nowhere imposes that duty upon the
Vice president. It is the President whose
business it is to ''present measures The
Vice president is still laboring under the de-
fusion that he is holding the country UP by
the tail. This is distressing mania with our
distinguished fellow ownsman. He never
opens his mouth but to make humiiating
exhibition of his vanity and self-conceit.

POLICE COMMISSIo NER CoTTRELL made
another exhibition of himself, yesterday at
the board meeting, which is fully given in
our city columns. It is fortunate for the re-
spectacle people of Indianapolis that there are
two such men on the board with Mr.. Cottrell
as Mr. Murphy and Mr.. Morrison; but it is
also very plainly shown what the metropolitan
system would be were it allowed to be devel-
oped fully on the line upon which it was
conceived by the bruisers and bummers at
whose instance the law was passed two years
ago. Mr. Cottrell very properly and
.truthfully says he better represents
the people who placed him in the
board than does Mr.. Murphy. This cannot be
gainsaid; neither can it be questioned that, in
declining to represent the Sim Coys Of the
Democratic party, Mr.. Murphy does honor to
his citizenship and increases the respect in
which he is held by the law-abiding, respecta-

and his friends fearlessly challenged the
closest scrutiny and investigation of his
official acts and department. the most per-

INDIANAPOLIS, April 90
The new union depot enterprise seems to have
been taken in for repairs. The railroad people
made every demonstration that ground would be
broken at once if only the Legislature would pass
the bill enabling them to condemn property
wherever they might determine to build; but
since that bill passed. there has been no public
announcement Of the purpose of the union de-
pot authorities. We understand there is hitch
as to the future relations of one company to the
new structure, and that this misunderstanding
is the cause of the delay.

A NEW YORK court has rendered decision

A NEW YORK court has rendered decision
of interest to ''deadheads' on railways. A
free pass is generally issued with q proyiso
that the person receiving it travels at his own
risk, and cannot ask damages from the rail
way company for any injury that may be re-
ceived during the trip. The prosecutor in
this case was awarded damages by the court,
because at the time he was injured he was
travelling in a drawing room car for
which privilege he had paid dol
lar. The court held that it knew
nothing Of the arrangement between the
railway company and the company owning
the car; but, as no one without leave Of the
former can run cars ON its track, it was as
sumed that the drawing room cars were run
for the benefit of the railway. The court
held that in such car the plaintiff was not a
free but paying passenger. for whose injury
the railway company was liable. Under this
ruling railway companies will have to attach
coupons for the drawing room and sleeping
cars to the free pass if they would escape suits
for damages.
