By common consent, not to say as the result
of Cabinet agreement, greater elaboration in
knowing the antecedents and qualifications of
candidates for appointment win hereafter be
observed. The intelligent reader viii not be at
loss to understand this So many serious blum
ders have been committed, deeply injurious to the
appointing power and likely to constitute so
many counts in future indictment by the Re-
publicans, that the President and Cabinet could
not help realizing that better care must
be exercised in the future. What precip-
itated this view was Captain Blackburn's
appointment, following as it did so close
on certain of Mr.. Bayard's selections,
which are not expected to secure the approval of
the Senate. How can such an expectation be
entertained when the President if not Mr..
Bayard himself, would not do it over againa
Postmaster general Villas, in his confidential"
circular, unquestionably refers to these unfor
tunate mistakes when he specially urges prn-
dence in presenting candidates for his favor, in
view of past mistakes, which, he says, have I'M
questionably been fallen into from not exercising
care about the past record of candidates. 1T
is the Department of State that has drawn the
fire of the enemy, and a pretty hot one il is
likely to be when the Senate comes to act said
a prominent Pennsylvania congressman from,
the interior.

Our Indian experience in Arizona has not
been fortunate or creditabe No one has ever
been punished for the murder of Judge McComas
and his wife and his little boy, although the
murderers within grasp and are actually
being fed by the government. And now posi-
bly,, after allowing an opportunity of administer
ing sautary lesson to the Chiricahuas to es-
cape we may be committing gross injustice to
a tribe which has never done us wrong, and
whose members have always obeyed the laws
It is not thus that we can acquire respect or
secure satisfactory relations with the Indians of
Arizona.

When preachers tell him that the be a.

And what will mis- anathemas

To roast in that indefinite Sheoll
And who viii get healthy scare
And shun the place that men should fee all,

Speak of it modestly as Sheoi!

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
VINcENNEs, May 29.-The telephone trouble
in this State is growing. The telephone ex-
change in this section, controlled by Mr.. l..
johnson, who owns several hundred miles of
wires and over half dozen exchanges, sends
out an official notification to-day as follows
vINcENNEs, May %.
You will please take notice that avail myself
of the privilege to terminate your telephone con
tract such termination to take effect on the Goth
day of June, 1885. This act is rendered neces-
sary by recent legislation in Indiana, and the
uncertain future of the telephone business in
this State The course to be pursued after the
above date has not yet been determined, but it
is hoped that your relation to the same, as an
esteemed customer, will not be disturbed
L. JOHNSON.
Telephone proprietors are greatly incensed
over the recent law passed by the Indiana Leg
islature reducing the monthly rental to
$3.50 and 49, The telephone renters here
and elsewhere in this section have been
paying $3.50 per month and twenty-five cents
for message out of the city. Representative
Williams of this county, is the father of the egis-
latve bill reducing the rental price of telephones
The proprietor of the telephone exchange here
declares that there is not enough money in the
business under the new law to pay expenses and
that it would be folly to try and keep up the ex-
change.
Whether the above notification is to be taken
as positive announcement that the telephone
will cease is not fully understood. 1t is set
tied fact, however, that the Legislature has cut
off all prospects of any more telephone wars in
the State, of which there have been so many
during the past winter. 1t is hoped by sensible
business men that some sort of compromise can
be effected and the telephone service continued.
