RIVE CAN GO 1T ALONE"

Club of Independent Maids Threatened
with Dissolution Because of "Pa's."
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-There is great excite
ment at White Plains and New Rochelle, just
above this city. The merry maidens of that To-
cality are driving their single blessedness for all
it is worth-perhaps for more than it is worth.
Last year they organized clubs, under the de-
fant and soulstrring name of the "We-can-so-
it-alone Club" whose members hunt in gangs,
so to speak. They issued declaration of inde-
pendence of the male men," as Mrs Stanton
used to call the clothes wearing, bifurcated ami
NAL Since that they go on picnics and steam
boat excursions in couples, and trios, and quin-
tetes, and dozens, and ignore the beaux and pay
their own bills and ask no odds of any man.
They regard young men exactly as they do mem
bers of their own sex, and if Billy asks Mlly to
''go and get some ice cream" she boldly answers
eyes, sir! with all my heart; but my oath re-
quires me to pay for my own dish. remember"
The question being up in the W. G. G. I. A.
lodge how the rebels ought to treat young men.
one of the emancipated damsels spoke up and
said, 'We are not to treat them at all-and they
are not to treat US. either!" In summer and fall
they agglomerate and go to agricultural fairs
and to Coney Island without any beaux; iu win
ter they similarly invade the theaters of the
metropolis in furbeowed focks.
The insurrection fourished for time. The
maidens were happy in their war-like attitude
Few of them married. There was fun in get
ting up shoe parties, and every girl paying her
own livery bill and buying her own dinner
But alas! there was fly in the ointment. There
arose murmurs of fdiscontent-not from the girls.
not from their beaux, but from their pas. and
those paternal murmers have now swelled into
dapason of wrath-a fierce, deep, concentrated
growl The formal protest of the fathers was
presented at the last lodge meeting: Hang 1t !
high minded and independent citizenesses, it
said in substance. lit is our money you are
spending! We footing your theater, banquet
and livery bills You tire US. We would like
rest if you please! Either 60 to work. like a
man, or fall in with the heaven ordained order
of things, like woman. We decline longer to
be broiled on the griddle of your caprice-to be
inundated on the altar of your dependent inde-
pendence." The remonstrance was voted to be
''quite uncalled for, but was referred to the
committee on ways and means. So the sublime
movement threatens to perish. The arrange
ment threatens to become disarrangement
Meantime, it is understood that the former
beaux are ready to forgive all. and even an
nounce that they are more forehanded and
eligible than ever.

An Aggregation of Vice.

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
NEW YORK. Sept. 26-The house that holds
more vice than any other in the world stands in
West Twenty seventh street. 1t is one hundred
feet by eighty in ground area, and seven stories
high. The lower floor is occupied by drinking
resorts and the rest of the big building is
divided into fifty-six tenements of six rooms
each, making $50 apartments, and the police
say that there is full complement of at least
one wicked woman to each room. The site is
that on which the once infamous and gorgeous
Buckingham Palace burned. The new
structure is equally immoral in its occupants
and they are of much lower type, being
the negresses and such white women as will as
sociate with them. So vast quantity of degra-
dation has never before been massed under one
New York roof. The rent-roll is figured on
basis Of just double the market prices for tene
ments of corresponding kind if decently used,
and the yield to the owner is said to be Is per
cent. clear on the investment. A Business Mems
Association composed of merchants in business
near enough to these astonishing premises to be
annoyed by the loungers therefrom, has set
about abating the nuisance which the police re-
fuse to touch. The first development is that
the agent who takes in the dreadful tenants is a
Presbyterian deacon.

THE WARNER BILL.

The Thorough Canvass Made by the Author
in Preparing the Measure.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON Sept 26-"General Warner told
me, just before leaving town the other day, that
there had never been as complete canvass for a
bill before its introduction into Congress as he
had made on his silver bill" said Western con-
gresham to your correspondent to-day. "The
General told me in patient detail the canvass he
had made in preparing his bill, and if he incor-
porates iudiciously the information he must
have obtained i'll his researches, he will surely
cover about all the wishes the commercial popu-
lation possess The trouble is that he may have
procured too many ideas and tried to comply with
them in preparing his bill, and it will prove so
complicated and SO indefinite that it will be use
less"
What do you think of the Warner bill~ I
asked.
"Well, to my mind, and believe to the mind
of majority of those who have looked into the
measure, the greatest merit it possesses is its
provision for the issuance of silver certificates
in small denominations. While both parties are
pledged to curtail the coinage of silver dollars,
the localities sending members to Congress and
AOPAoSoAeliiS Vic Ictdll tTdO6 are against Sup6u-
sion of the coinage of the silver dollar, and
think the Bland act will be kept intact; so that
any measure looking towards relief for this
money, like General Warner proposes in
his issuance of certificates of the denom-
ination of one, two and five dollars, will
be accepted as advisable I do not think
the country is ready to recon all of its silver
money and put hundred cents worth of bullion
in its silver dollar, and inasmuch as the coinage
will continue as heretofore. the Warner bill is
garded as possessing but the one merit mentioned
find that there is feeling among members and
senator's that there should not be any agitation
of the financial question. 1t must shake and
injure the business of the country if conducted
even for few weeks only. 1t would be ruinous,
almost. to get up the silver question and after
discussing it several months suspend it or leave
it in any position where it would be likely to
come up in the second session of this Congress
Whatever is done should be done in hurry
We all have minds matured on this subject
and can act as well in a week as in six months
or two years. 1t is very unfortunate that we
must bring up money issue biennially or
Quadrennially"

THE NEW YORK NOMINATIONS.

Republicans and Democrats Well Pleased
with the Work of the Conventions.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept 26.-Entire satisfaction
is expressed here by Republicans and Democrats
from New York with the tickets nominated this
week at Saratoga So far as the outward ele-
ments are concerned it looks rs though the fight
would be a clear, strag ght-forward one. Neither
party has advantage over the other by the head of
its ticket being the choice of the minority alone.
Special qualification is expressed by the Repub-
licans over the nomination of Davenport, be-
cause he brings to the ticket the full strength of
the supporters of the party, including the mug
wumps and the temperance people. The Half
breeds and Stalwarts are a unit now, and the
issue will grow out of national issues respective
OF the parties. OF course, Governor St John.
the Prohibition apostate, is expected to enter the
campaign and do what he can for the Demo
cratic ticket as he is said to have pledged him
self to the President when here recently; but the
soundness of the Republican platform and the
harmony that must exist on account of the nom
nations WILL it is believed by representative Re-
publicans here, outweigh all of the sneaking
work hypocrites may do The government of the
city of New York was never SO healthful and
free from crime and vice as when under control
Of Republican State administrations. and the
good people of New York will support
the party that stands by them Tho Demo
cratic management in the cities and the State
have been SO iagrantly corrupt, and the morals
have run so loose at both ends that it will hardly
be necessary TO exhort the better element to sup
port the party which will be in sympathy with
it. Owing to the very short period between
now and the election, excitement, it is thought
will run at very high pitch. Since both parties
have virtually adopted the same financial plank,
which always figures so powerfully in New York
politics, naturally the issue will hinge more
upon civilservice reform and other questions
with which the administration is dealing We
will now see what the President and two mem
bers of his Cabinet can do in debating to the
party in their own State

No Strike on Union Pacific.

RAwLINs. Wy. T., Sept 26.-It is learned
from what is believed to be an official source that
there will be no strike on the Union Pacific rail

cally indorse the killing of the Chinese at Rock
Springs so they have determined to settle the
trouble there by more suitable means The
Chinese are all at work at the Rock Springs

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
New YORK, Sept. 26.-The Sp;ritualists have
convinced themselves of case of more remark
able mediumship than any heretofore discovered.
That they are sincere in the belief is shown by
the fact that there is no money in it, the sup
posed medium being dead, and not believer
when alive. She was Mrs. Helen Hunt jackson,
the authoress, and the remarkable theory,
originated by our ex-School Superintendent Kid
der is that she wrote entirely under spirit nfiu-
ence Her novel illustrating the injustices done
to the Indians, called Ramona" was said by
her. in letter to Roberts Brothers, the pub
fishers, to have been written through not by
her," and she used to make many such
assertions. Kidder says that Indian spirits
abound among the controls of mediums, and
that they employed Mrs Jackson to 60 to Cali
fornia; investigate the to her strange subject of
Indian wrongs and write the story. Some of
her poems she declared to have been composed
during sleep, which the Spiritualists construe as
trance. Andrew jackson Davis is positive about
this. He declares that he knew it before her
death, aud talked with her on the subject She
admitted to him that she wrote on impulses that
seemed to come from without her own conscious
ness, but she wouldn't be convinced of her me.
