THE DEFICIT IN THE SOLDIERS HOME
FUNp.-One OF the managers of the Ma
tional Soldiers Home stated that the board
is now engaged in preparing its facts rela'
tive to the deficit claimed to be found by
the House military committee in General
Buffers accounts while treasurer of that
body-amounting to over S21l, 200. When
they are arranged the board will take steps
to recover this amount, bringing suit
therefor, but in just what way Is not yet
determined. General Rosecrans suggested
when preparing the report of the military
committee that the managers, being cor
porate body, should sue for the alleged de-
ncit, and that plan they expect to follow.

The Higgins Case.

The flrstI act to cause embarrassment to
President Cleveland was the appointment
Of Mr.. Higgins of Baltimore. by Secretary
Manning, as chief, or appointment CLERK
This is a confidential position and there IS
no reason why the secretary should not
have the man he wants for the place pro-
yidiug he Is man of character and adapt
ed to the office. Here is where the trouble
arises. 1t appears that Mr.. Higgins is
bad lot.
It is charged that during that war he was
in Richmond and became deputy 10 the
prisop pens under Winder, where his cruel
ty to Union prisoners is matter OF hlsto-
ty. He returned to Baltimore after the
war and became prominent In the corrupt
ION which has robbed that city. He was
also interested In gambling places. In
1888 he was sued to recover certain sums
lost at q faro 10 his place, apd 1t Is also al
legged that his interest in VIGOROUSLY low
concert saloon has protected 1t from the
police 1t is also alleged that In 1879 he
led the Baltimore gang which went to In
dianapolis to stuff ballot boxes. These
are samples Of the charges made against
the man, which are enough to condemn
any one II the changes are sustained.
Secretary Manning appointed him at
the special request of Secretary German,
of Maryland, and on his recommendations
He appeared to have been very anxious to
take good care of this particular political
follower very promptly.
The Maryland Civil Service Association
are greatly exercised at the appointment,
protest against his being retained, and his
tenure may be considered uncertain to say
the least.

tion at the Capital.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l-A disciple of Oscar
Wilde has been doing" Washington for several
days. His name is Edmund RUSSELL his home
New York, and he is known locally as the
American Esthete" He is about thirty years
old, but does not wear knee breeches or bangs.
He is here delivering series of lectures on
estheticism. Joaquin Miller, the "Poet of the
Sierras,' and the most slouchy man of literary
associations in all the country. has undertanke
to chaperone the aesthetic, and so far has been
unable to create much of sensation.
Russell carries with him on his lecturing tour
samples of aesthetic brio -brac and household
decorations of almost every description. He
tells people how to make their homes attractive,
how to live happily, how to dress, and how to
act He is himself not model for the tailors,
but is neat and pleasant in his address He
taxes his auditors dollar each to hear his ad-
vice, but has been unable, it is said to draw
large houses except by distribution of compli-
men taries.
Washington is the home of the dude and the
dudine; thes is indigenous of this growth of
humanity; but they are not given to taking sug-
gestons from outside parties. They are prone
to create their own peculiar notions Russell
will probably visit the West this winter.

The Home Rule-Tory Alliance.

made overtures to the Parnellites The
Irish party had becn courted so eagerli
and we'll by the Conservatives that people
had concluded that an understanding had been
arranged between them. But such, it now
transpires was not the fact Mr. Parnell had
secured all the promises he desired from the
Tories. He used this fact to induce the Liberals
to offer him the same pledges. He preferred to
trade with the Liberal leaders to trading
with those of the Conservative party. be-
cause the former were in a much better con-
troll of their party than were the Tories. but
Mr.. Gladstone for reasons best known TO him
self. declined 20 make the same pied -cs which
the Conservatives had made and offered very
evasive compromise Parnell thereupon decided
to seal the alliance with the Tories He felt
himself master of the situation. He calculates
upon certain possession of secure balance of
power In the next Parllament and feels sure OF
being able to command enough RadcaI
votes upon most of the questions relating
to home rule which may come up. to give his sido
of the question power to pass all reasonable
measures relating to Ireland. 1t was these con-
siderations which induced the National League
to bring to an issue its remarkable campaign
manifesto The decision to issue it was arrived
at in special meeting held by Mr.. Parnell and
his colleagues Dublin. There were nraSnnt tat
this conclave all the Irish Home
Rule candidates who could possibly attend. The
call for the meeting stated that its object
was to have final conference upon the plans
for electoral work, with a special view to equip
ping those now candidates who have not yet had
any parliamentary experience The meeting
was not long in deciding to reject the overtures
Of the Liberals and to openly ally
Conservatives. Accordingly the manifesto, the
issued by the Parnellites, was uttered Its
effect, according to Irish calculations, will be to
prevent Mr.. Gladstone from return to power by
making it impossible for the Liberals to gain the
requisite majority of members of the next House

they will not resign tho conduct of

BOYCOTTING POSTMASTERS.
The Plan Adopted by Dissatisfied Patrons of
Offices to Get Even.

The Plan Adopted by Dissatisfied Patrons of
Offices to Get Even.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Nov. Acknowledgement
Villas, in his forthcoming annual report, will
treat new and unique subject in postoffice af-
fairs. It will be that of boycotting
Democratic postmasters. 1t seems that as
intimated in the Journal special some
time ago, some of the new men lately appointed
to fill fourth class postofces are 80 distatestful
to patrons of offices, and old oficers were re-
moved by such unfair means, that g determined
effort is being made by patrons to show their
disapproval. This they do by reducing the
revenues of the Office, and therefore
decreasing the salary of the new
postmaster. This boycottng is not confined to
any particular locality, but is reported from
nearly every section of the country Indiana
and Ohio have been very prolific of this work.
At one office a report of special agent re-
ceived at the department states that man
has erected boxes keeps stamps, and persuades
everybody he can to mail his letters there, which
he hands to the postal clerk on the train, thereby
doing more than one third Of the legitimate bust
ness. He has regular carrier to carry letters
-
to take fourth-class matter.
AT Stair City, Pulaski county, the political
opponents of the postmaster use every exertion
to have all mail handled on the train They have
established their headquarters at the old post
Office building and go all over town every day
collect all the matter they and have it mailed
on the train.
Inspector Kirkwood of Muncie, reports sim
liar state of affairs at Middlefork Clinton coun-
ty. The old postmaster has obtained orders
from large number of his old patrons, gets
their mail and distributes it, and large mum.
Der have collected together to send their letters
by mail-carrier to the next postofice on his
route
In Planfield the superintendent of the Reform
School deprives the postmaster of $500 per
year by having his mail carried to the cars He
has spite against the postmaster, says the in
spector
Quite number of these complaints
come from Ohio. At East Pales-
tine, in that State, large portion
OF the postmaster's patrons have erected post
office box near the station, in which they de-
posit mail matter, and have it mailed on the
cars thus depriv;ng him of very considerable
portion of his cancellation. 1t would seem that
this Palestine is not holy land.
At Shanks, an outside party began collecting
and forwarding mail with the avowed purpose of
lessening the compensation of the postmaster

ly elected.
Suffolk Herald 1t has been said
that Malone is not sentimental, but
that hugging and kissing scene on the
stage at that noisy meeting of the late
convention in Richmond proves that
sentiment is reserved power with him.
1t was enough to make (fallen) angel
weep.
Hohfog Record In word, self
abnegation must and will control the
Convention. Selfish purposes and am
billions must and will be allowed to
sleep, and the great public interests at
stake will demand ready, loyal,
loving, and patriotic consideration
first, last, and all the time.
Lynchburg Adoance: The fact that
there were some 200 negro delegates in
the Malone Convention controlled and
led, as Riddleberger intimsted, by Ma
hone, is sufficient to show the people Of
Virginia what this coming canvass is to
be. Mahone's idea is to have the negro
to rule his party and then to rule the
State, and he will hesitate at no
promises to them, stop at nothing to ex-
cite, deceive, and influence them, and
would sacrifice the whole race if neces-
sary to his ambition.
