ton. His sermons are printed and dis
tributed by newspapers throughout the
United States and Canada. Twenty papers
in great Britain, including seven in Lon
don, print them regularly, giving him there
an audience OF nearly 100000. A traveller
through nineteen lands scattered over the
globe says he found Talmage's sermons
wherever he went.
A preacher for millions beyond the hear
ing of his pulpit. DR.. Talmsge has church
membership Of over three thousand and a
congregation averaging six thousand at the
Brooklyn Tabernacle. He Is not one OF the
prophets who Is without honor in his own
country. AT his home reception room he is
the recipient OF deierential calls and tributes
from Thousands OF his own and neighboring
cities. The Monday morning papers flung
in at his door report verbatim his sermons
of the Sunday, which the telegraph have re-
peated to many papers at long distances,
while scores and scores OF weekly and Sun
day papers print them In their nexs issues.
Ii is not difficult to trace the secret OF
the popularity OF Dr. Talmsges sermons.
They are so simple in language that a child
can comprehend them. They are 50 ortho-

prove them. They are so brainy that the
most intellectual find them feast They
are so picturesque in figures that the most
romantic find them delectable In reading.
They are so correct In taste that the most
critical liteTatti read them with satisfaction.
They are so redolent with Divine charity
that the Divine spirit must accord them as

TURN THE RAsCALs OUT.

THE Treasury Department will need a
thorough overhsuling," says Mr.. Crawford,
the observing Washington correspondent of
the New York World. he gives also some
other information of rather startling char
acter, as follows:
The Department OF Justice has for nearly four
years been run in the interests OF the Attorney
General and George Bliss. Theirs was an active
working partnership. Frauds of the most noto-
rious and flaPrant character in the arrangements

been reported to this Office without any

with prosecution by the department until the
facts OF his great theits were brought out by
Congressional investigating Committee. Even
then the prosecution against him was of per-
functory Character, and has thus far resulted IN
nothing.
The same correspondent says that the In

The Land Office has apparently been used as the

for which Teller was responsible, might have been

SPECIAL SESSION.

We think every candid person will admit
that sixty.one days biennially is too short
time to do the legislative work for a great
State like Indiana. The Legislature of Ohio
sits annually, and the sessions lasts from
four to five months. There is not State in
the Union that has as short legislative ses-
sions rs Indiana unless il is some small
Western State like Oregon. Special sessions
have been called by nearly every Governor.
Governor Baker called two. Hendricks, WILL
Jams and Porter each called special sessions.
The situation now and two years ago is very
different. This time not only the general
and specific appropriation bills were not
passed, but the Knightstown bill and the
bill making provision for continuing the
construction OF the State house and other
important measure were Enacted. The State
house bill alone made q special session
necessity. To stop the work on
plicated matters so far as the cor
tract with the state for its construction is
concerned, that ii might have resulted in
loss OF hundreds OF thousands of dollars TO
the people OF the State. The Governor coald
not exercise any discretion about 1.-THE sit.
uation compelled an extra session; besides,
as the Governor says in his proclamation,
This thing OF the State officers disbursing
the public moneys and running the State
government without the authority of law, is
a dangerous practice and bad In precedent"
and II to be continued. the Legislature nigh
Just as well be dispensed with. We do not
think the people OF Indiana are yet willing
to surrender their constitutional right,
through their represen tatives, to control the
government OF the State, and say how and
in what manner the public moneys shall be
expended. Many people who think the
special session ought not to have been called
do not understand the situation.

a Good Word for Judge aOOdiDg.
lCommunicated

The colored people, and especially the
colored Democrats, owe a debt OF gratitude
TO Hon. d. L. Gooding for his able and sue
oessful efforts to pass the Civil Rights bill
through the House on saturdsy last With
all colored people he is entitled to special
remembrance when il is remembered that
by a rule OF the House no bill could be
called up only on call OF counties, and
when Hancock was called he substituted a
bill for one of his own and allowed his bill
TO lie on the table. Fearing thst II such a
course was not pursued the Civil Rights
bill could not be reached he adopted DR..
Thompson's bill as II came from the Senate

A STRONG COMMENTATORS.

1t is gratifying indeed to note with what
unanimity the Republican press of the coun-
try, almost withoutexception, accord Messrs.
Bayard, Garland and Lamar the qualities of
high intellectual ability, scholarly attain
ments and purity of character which distin-
guish these illustrious men. With all the
criticism which has been applied TO these
members of President Cleveland's Cabinet,
who have been in public life so long and so
conspicuously, not one word has been said
or written Of the integrity OF their charac-
ter and greatness Of intellect except in praise,
or at least ia acknowledgement of their
superiority. That our political opponents
admit this is much; that such representative
men are from the South is more, and we
think no better opinion can be formed OF
Mr.. CIevelands far sightedness and good
judgment than from that displayed by him
in the selection of those men from the
Southern States for his Cabinet.
Our President herein has done master
stroke and one that will strengthen him with
the people over the whole Union for while
none are more highly esteemed nor more
dearly beloved in the South, none ara more
respected in the North than are they. What
between two sections of our country which
were engaged in deadly strife two decades
agone!
The bloody shirt has been waved eiectu-
ally for the last time, Never again
can that ensanguined garment
do service in campaign to fire the Northern
heart and engender sectional ill-feeling.
With the disappearance OF the bloody shirt
also fades the glory of the Republican party,
and with the Inauguration OF Cleveland
dswns a new era upon our country.
While we'll known and tried men have
been taken from the South for Cabinet po-
sitions, those from other sections of the
Union were selected from the younger DEM
ocrats who have sprung up since the war;
and although the reputation OF some OF
them had scarcely become national, yet are
they all OF good repute and not without
honor in their own country, they each and
all having made q name and fame
which were not confined within
the borders of their respective States.
II this infusion OF new life and young blood
into the Administration be an experiment,
certain it is that the Republicans look with
favor and trembling upon Mr.. Cleveland's
selection OF men Tor his chief counseleors,
while the Democrats rejoice and are OF ex-
ceeding good cheer.
A week has gone by since the announce
ment OF our new Presidents Cabinet. The
test OF public criticism has been applied
each member weighed in the balance and
none found wanting. The Democratic Adj
ministration starts out we'll under favorable
auspices, and will make for itself record
that will thoroughly reinstate that grand
old party in the hearts of the people and the
control OF our National affairs, for it will be
on the sound Democratic principle so vital
10 our institutions-"a Government by the
people, OF the people, for the people"

THE selection OF Judge Cadwallader, one OF the
blue bloods of Philadelphia. for First Assistant
Secretary of State will rejoice the hearts OF all
good Democrats. IL is almost as cheerful as the
news OF the selection OF Endicott for the War De-
acknowledgements Gazette.
Yes, you might have added that Cadwal-
lader had cousin in the Grant admins
trstion. When you get vein OF blue-blood
from England plus a Republican admins
tration you have reached the ultima thule
of that sort OF thing and should be ready to
anticipate the angel Gabriel at any time.

York Avenue Church, Washington, the
church In which President Cleveland In
tends to worship. The service in his church
last Sunday was particularly interesting, the
pastor preaching one OF his most eloquent

was unusually large, partly owing TO the
fact that the new President was expected to
attend, bat he did not. These facts are made
the occasion to ridicule and unjustly criti-

A Bad Runaway.

Some man whose name could not be
learned, was badly injured yesterday morn
0ng on New Jersey street, near South. His
team ran away and he was thown out. The
wheels passed over one OF his legs, breaking
il and cutting bad cash in bis scalp. The
horses turned and ran on Merrill TO East
where one OF the animals tried 10 enter
saloon while the other wanted to take the
street. In their confusion they tore AWAY
the lamp-post and mail-box, and the door Of
the saloon opened sufficiently TO admit the
wagon through. The team belonged to q
gardener.
