The democrats Of Indiana are using
their partisan advantage in that state to
porpetuate their power two years hence.
There is abundant necessity for II. The
legislature of that state has proved even
more incompetent than the house of the

even pass appropriation bills. An extra
session is now necessary. TO add TO
their troubles, there Is bitter fight

THE recent decision of the commits.

Invention to Alexander Graham Bell in
respect to tho electric speaking telephone,
as against the claims of McDonough, Ir-

now the only contestant whose claims as
against Bell the patent Office has not yot

APPEARANCES indicate that Senator
Blair, who was recently appointed to the
vacancy caused by the expiration of his
term, and the inability of the legislature
last elected before the expiration Of that
torn to choose his successor because II
does not meet until June, will be
speedily admitted to the senate. In
doing so tho senate will follow the prec-
odent set six years ago in the admission
of Senator Bell. who was appointed under
similar circumstances by the governor of
New Hampshire. The matter was fully
considered then, and does not require
my discussion now.

1T can be said for President Cleveland
already that he shows a commendable
disposition to conduct the ordinary busi
ness Of his high office without any great
display Of fuss and feathers. If he can
maintain the position he has taken in re.
quiring all applications for office to go at
once to the heads of the various depart
ments under whose domains they properly
come, he will have relieved the presi.
dency of one Of its greatest burdens, and
earned a just title to the grateful remem-
brance of his successors. But it must not
be forgotten that other presidents have
tried to bring about the same reform aud
failed. Whatever his success may be in
that regard the people will appreciate his
evident disposition to transact executive
business with simplicity and American
directness
