TnE Cmuc has no admiration for
John l.. Sullivan, but the champion
bruiser ought to have an equal chance
with other people before tla law. The
Law and Order League of Cleveland
may have been upholding order, but
we do not think that it showed much
respect for the full enforcement of the
law yesterday when it caused the arrest
of Sullivan for engaging in game of
baseball on Sunday and did not also
take into custody the seventeen other
players who were in the game with
him. The League did not even inter
fcrc with the game. 1t waited until
the contest had been ended before Sui
livan was taken in.

OF APPEARS TO be a reasonable and
safe conclusion" says the last monthly
circular of Henry Clews S Co., "that
the recent marked improvement in the
prices of securities betokens a general
improvement in the business Of New
York and the country at large The
recovery is apparent in better de
mand for products Of every class, and
is the beginning of a gradual but cvi-
dcntly genuine advance in prices"
Thisis cheering news, MS grateful as
the refreshing rain after II long
drought and there seems to be ample
warrant for its accuracy, With an
abundance of corn and cereals, the
biggest cotton crop ever raised, rice
and sugar in unwontcd profusion, and
all the staples showing handsome
yield, the prosperity of the country
should be assured beyond all perad-
venture.

THE CHOLERA.

Progress of the Disease at tPaIermo-Distress-
ing Condition Of Affairs.
ROME, Sept 21.-Reports from Palermo re-
garding the progress of the cholera show a dis
tressing state of affairs prevailing there
Three thousand persons have fed the city; all
the shops are closed and the streets are almost
deserted There is great scarcity of food and
water, and the epidemic is increasing with
frightful rapidity. The sanitary officials are at
tackled by the people every time they attempt to
disinfect the houses where the disease exists,
and meet with great difficulty in carrying out
their work.
King Humbert has sent dispatch to Palermo
expressing great sympathy for the suffering pee-
pie. His Majesty has also sent $4,000 to be
distributed among them; places his villa. Favor
ita, at the disposal of the sufferers and exhorts
the people to show their courage and calmness
during the trying ordeal through which they
are now passing.
The cholera is spreading in Sicily, and the
situation is becoming serious. Every town is
cordoned. Conflicts between the populace and
the military continually occurring, and many
persons have been wounded. large military
force is to be dispatched to the island.

PAWN GER SMITH,

His Counsel P' the District Supreme
Court for yrit of Prohibition.
WAsHINGToN, Sept. 2l--Messrs. Hunter and
Chandler, counsel for Paymaster general Joseph
A. Smith, of the Navy Department, this morn
inG filed petition to the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia, asking that writ of pro-
hibition be issued, restraining the Secretary OF
the Navy from further proceedings in relation
to the charge against their client. The Smith
court-martial reassembed at II o'clock to-day,
in compliance with the orders issued by Secretary
Whitney last week, and each member was at
served with notice of the application
made by the counsel to the Supreme Court.
Secretary Whitney served with a similar
notice, in consequence of which he notified the
court to adjourn for two weeks. The application
of counsel sets forth that the Office of paymaster-
general is civil one, the functions of which are
discretionary with the incumbent subject to the
approval of the Secretary of the Navy. and the
court has no jurisdiction in the premises This
proceeding differs from that taken by the coun-
sci of DR.. Wales, in that the latter applied for
writ of habeas corpus to relieve the accused from
military arrest. The court, in the Wales case,
did not decide upon the point of jurisdiction of
the court-martial. Counsel have asked to be
heard upon this application next Wednesday at
10 o'clock. A decision favorable to the accused
would, it is held, have the effect to nulity the
sentence Of the court-martial already pending.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 AS soon as it was an
nounced to-day that Civil-service Commissioner
Dorman B. Eaton had rendered his resignation,
the name of Prof. James FL. Smart. president of
Purdue University. at Lafayette, was mentioned
by Hoosier Democrats as his successor. No
formal steps have been taken in the matter, but
it is understood that Professor Smart's name
will be presented to the President for considera-
tion by all the Indiana Democrats now in this
city, and those in the State who desire his
appointment are expected to exert their influence
to bring it about. While Professor Smarts
work in his present position is very much de-
sired by citizens throughout the State, say his
friends, they believe it would be an honor TO him
self and all who have an interest in him to serve
on the Civil-service Commission. They say his
eminent ability would push him to the head of
the commission on the instant, and that the
credit he would do the people from whom he
came would offset the loss they would sustain in
permitting him to leave them. Professor Smart
has not yet been communicated with, and has in
no way indicated a desire for the position
When he accepted the presidency of Purdue
University he expressed desire to never re-
enter politics. His name has been freely used
here to-day and it is generally believed that he

whether he would get place
or not; but since he had received as
surances from the highest sources he could
not quite believe he would be overlooked.
Time passed and General Meilley continued to
fit himself for the position of Assistant Commis-
sioner Of the General Land Office The Ist OF
August came and with it the announcement that
the President was about going on his summer
vacation. General Meilley hastened to the
White House.
II am sorry" said the President, 'that you
have not received your appointment before this
time | am just leaving the city. and cannot stop
to look into this matter. but it shall have my
attention as soon as I return
General Meilleys temperature fell several de-
grees; but he staid by the guns. The ides Of
September came, and with it the chief executive.
General Meilley waited patiently for several
days to be summoned to the White House, where
he expected to see his commission. The sum-
mons did not comes but General Meiey went
to the White House. The Presid ent looked at
him in blank amazement as he again expressed
his regrets because the Generals appointment
had not been reached. He told him to 60 to the
Interior Department. and see if the appointment
clerk there would not attend to his case at once.
The General went The appointment clerk also
expressed his regret that the appointment had
not been made. He told the General to come
again in day or two. in day or two General
Meilley went back. The appointment clerk was
not there. He had gone away on vacation, to
be absent considerable length of time, and the
ill-abused Ohoan was told that nothing could
be done until the appointment clerk returned
General Meilley plainly now that he was
being trihed with, and he was not slow to ex-
press his feelings to of his intimate friends.
He vowed he would see the President, and that
there would be termination of the affair in very
short order. just how it will terminate is not
known, but this is very fair sample of the way
the ofice-seekers being treated here now.
II seems that the party that has been full of
promises for many years incubates very slowly

THE WOMEN MUST GO.
They Will Have to Give UP Their Places to-
Persons Who Can Cast Ballots.

They Will Have to Give Up Their Places to
Persons Who Can Cast Ballots.
Special to tue Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The women in the
departments must go. The numerical proper
tions of male and female employees in the federal
service have been of sufficient magnitude to be
discussed in Cabinet meeting. The Democratic
party is down on the practice of placing the
widows Of soldiers on the same footing as men
in the federal service. The administration has
suddenly awakened to the fact that there is
very large proportion of federal employees in the
places which can be filled by able bodied Demo-
cratic ballot box suffers and ex-convcts should
not be filled by women. even though they may
be the widows of Union soldiers.
A Western congressman tells your correspond
that he has just had conversation with Presi.
dent Cleveland and was informed that it is the
intention of the administration to reduce, as
materially possible, the list of women in the
departments. The congressman suggested that
many females employed were the wives of dead
Union soldiers, and had to support families.
The President replied that he hoped no one
would be dismissed from the service who was OF
that character, but that it was a fact which
could not be disputed that sympathy had led
former administrations to employ too many
women
AT the Interior Department it is stated that
many women as can be dismissed must go;
that as general rule women cannot assume re-
sponsibiities like men, and cannot be intrusted
to pass upon work involving points Of law aud
money. The Patent o flee and the Pension
Office are to be especial fields OF labor for this
work. Of course whatever is true in one de-
partment must, in a large measure, be true in
other departments, and it is expected that within
few months the finer sex" will be less repre-
sented in ali branches of the government service
