INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
The Week Begins with an Active Trade
Collections Satisfactory.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. Il.
The week begins with brisk trade in progress
in nearly all departments. Merchants report
collections all things considered, as quite salts
factory. Country merchants show good judg-
ment in purchases, and are buying only what
they can readily pay for. This is an eneourag-
ing feature of trade at the present time. The
Indianapolis Grocer, in its last issue, says: mo
people seem to understand better than ourselves
the value of money. None have better incomes;
none are better supplied with schools and
churches. and in no other land is the cost of
living SO cheap. Yet, with all these blessings
in favor are the poorest debt paying
people on the face of the globe. Out

books in this city, not to exceed wentv-fve
will, without notice, come up promptly, ay-ddy
after payday, to the last, and settle. The
next twenty five will wait to be dunned once at
least; the next will require constant dunning
and coaxing to get the money out of them
while the last twenty five will wind up by leav-
ing big bills altogether unpaid. Nor is this
shameful practice of not paying confined to any
particular class station in life The widowed
washerwoman on the back alley may pay her little

aristocratic dress maker on fashionable street
may refuse outright to pay at all. The recently
advanced prices in dry goods are being mai n

and cotton goods. the demand for wooens
seems to have been unusual at this season of
the year and especially with domestic fannels,
yarns and blankets Jobbers in these lines are
sold ahead, and the mills are being crowded
to keep up with their orders There was a
steady movement in brown, bleached and colored
cottons. In fancy dress prints there has been a
steady demand. Dress ginghams continue
active and especially with staple checks. In
dress goods better class seems to be in demand,

:. REFOPun IND ITS PRACTICAL RESULTS.
Reform begins to bear fruit 10 the post o1ice
at Nvack. The good citizens OF that place.
whether Republicans or Democrats, are hftlng
m their voices in complaint because the post
office, under its new Democratic management is
dilatory and inefficient, and serves the peopio
much less satisfactorily than under the man
agement of the Republican who was removed
Thus the question comes home, TO those Denio-
Gratis of Nyack who really care something 1or
practical efficiency in the administration,
whether It is well to remove experienced ana
capable Republicans who have performed their
duties greatly to the satisfaction OF tho people,
and to appoint In their stead Democrats who
are conspicuously incompetent or neglect1u',
and who do not perform their duty satis,
factorily. There seems to be no doubt aoOu.
the tendency of public opinion in Nyack. bu'
the game ouestjon presents itself in thousands
of other towns.
All over the country, the President has been
removing Republicans from places In the pup
lie service 1t would be within the mark to say
that not one in ten thousand OF the persons re-
moved has been found inefficient or dishonest
or has been removed because of public dissatis-
faction with his performance OF official duties
These officials were all experienced and framed
and had under them experienced subordinates'
and knew Just what tho public convenience re-
ouired. and had studied for years to serve the
public satisfactorily, so that if possible they
might retain their places. In their stead have
been appointed an army of men who nave
absolutely no experience whatever, either III
the Offices which they are called upon to FILL or
in any other branch Of public service. These
men have come In because they are partlsans.
They represent a great party which. by the
voice of nine tenths of its members, demands
that the public offices shall be given to repre-
sentatives and workers of the party IN power
1t is in the nature of things inevitable that such
men will seek to serve the party, to which they
owe their office, and not the people. In any
case, however excellent their motives may he,
they inevitably fail to give satisfaction because
they lack experience and training They do not
know what the public needs. and have never
studied the requirements of the public service
With the best intentions conceivable, they
must continually come short in great majority
of cases, and compare unfavoraby as 10
efficiency in the performance of duty with the
officials whom they have displaced. The ques-
ton comes to the good citizens In every town
where such changes have been made, whether
they like the Democratic idea, - to the victors
belong the spoils." and will uphold it.

THE PROSTITUTES OF TAM&ANY.

A colored man-and-a- brother once com
plained that while he rich and prosperous
person he was known in his village as Squire
Johnsing, that when adversely overlook him he
was hailed as - Mr.. Johnsing, that as troubles
thickened around him he was referred TO
simply as Johnsing, until finally when poverty
stared him III the face he was disposed of as
q old niger Johnsing.
For a number of years Tamniany Hall has
had a similar variegated experience. AS the
time approaches for the Democrats OF New
York State to hold their annual conventions
the leaders OF the County Democracy take good
care to call the great Tamnany brave Squire T"
Kelly. And the rest of the regular party
leaders do likewise. They not only Squire
him, but they publicly express the opinion that
Tammany Hall, sir, contains the bone and
sinew of the Democracy, and on election day,
sir will roll up an immense majority for the
ticket. After election the party's fires of alice
ton for Tammany commonly are banked, not
to say quenched. Kelly is only a" Mr." with
the County DEMOCRACY people, while other
regulars shake their heads and remark that
they hope Tammany can be relied upon, but
they are not sure. Later on, Kelly is neither
esquire nor "Mr." at Democracys head
quarters. He is simply Kelly, and Tanmany is
stigmatzed by Hubert o. Thompson, Dan
Manning and the rest as a nuisance. Still
later, Kelly. in the words of that time honored
Democratic organ, The Boston Post, is piloried
rs bullet headed traitor and his followers
as slumgulions."
An important election is now approaching.
Governor and other leading State officers are
to be chosen as well as new Senate and
Assembly. Accordingly Kelly is esquire"
Not Democrat can be found from Lake Eric to
Long Island to even insinuate that he is not
well-beoved, thoroughly trusted and entirely
orthodox political brother. The Albany Argus
refrains from speaking as it once spoke
between canvasses-of the Tammanyism that
betrayed Lucius Robinson and Winfield Scott
Hancock Here in the metropolis the report is
being circulated that the County Democracy
has presented the Squire with sweet olive
branch with the request that he will pick out q
Tammanyite for Sheriff. The election takes
place early in November. BY Christmas or say
New-Year Kelly will be bullet-headed
traitor" again. and Tammany Hall an organiza-
ton of slumgullipns," in the candid opinion Of
Democratic brethren. Yes, it Is a changeful
and deceitful world.

TILE SCHOOL YEAR.

This is time OF year when heads of families
are sorely perplexed. The children's vacation
Is drawing to u close and arrangements are to
be made for q long season OF schooling"
Where can they be educated to tho best ID
yantagei Where can the boys be brought
under proper restraint, thoroughly equipped
for college or prepared for the practical require
ments OF business life Where can the girls
receive not only sound course of instruction,
but be also taught special mpishments
that will at once promote their chances OF
achieving social success and possibly give them
resources for supporting themselves in a work
aday world These are difficult questions for
those who are responsible for the future OF the
young people to decide. Their perplexity is
increased by the caprices and prcjudiccs of the
children themselves. The rising generation
knows only too well what 1t wants and il over
anxious to dispose of the school problem In its
own way. The girls are critical and ready TO
condemn their teachers for being hOpclessly be-
hind the times, and are often importunate in
their demands for q change of scene and fresl,
start in finishing school" The boys like
wise are willing to take matters into their own
hands and too often are In hot haste TO cut
short their period of educational apprentice
ship, confident that they already know all that
Is requisite for business life and that they
will only waste time in continuing their studies.
But with judicous parents and guardians these
precipitate appeals have little weight. They
have no disposition to ovade the responsibility
for a decision on which the success of their
children in this busy world 80 largely depends.
At the same time their minds are often swayed
by conflicting opinions and they know of no
more harassing period during the year than the
early weeks of September when the school
question has 10 be settled.
Advice to those who are considering this inn
pOrtant matter must necessarily be general in
character when it Is offered in these columns.
But there are two points on which we have no
hesitation In laying great stress In the first
place, there can be 40 more serious mistake
than that of taking children out Of school
prematurely. Boys ought not to be allowed to
leave their studies on the strength of their as
sumption that higher mathematics the classics,
languages or English studies are Of no practical
use ito business man. When n boy begins to
ask, @What Is algebra good for in the import

Gates for convenient use In the payment OF
duties was the strong reason for tnls measure
which was at the time great public accommo'
dation. Before this order was modified. In NO
vember, 1881, about SOL, 100000 more OF inc
silver certificates had been issued, and after IL
was modified only $4,4O0,O00 more were
issued In nine months until the issue under this
order was stopped, October Is, 1882. The act
of July, 1882, authorizing gold certificates IT,
moved the reason for using OF desiring the use
of silver certificates, and rendered their ISSUE
of no practical advantage to the country ouv
only source of danger to the treasury. IL
was stoned as soon as the gold certificates had
gone into general use, and during the next four
months. November February inclusive, the
proportion of silver certificates received at
New York was only 16.5 per cent. Inc order
was renewed, March 2, 1888. and from that
time until the close of the last Administration,
March l. 1885, the additional issue OF silver
certificates was S43, 400, 900. The payments
in silver increased but little for two months
after the renewal of the order, and averaged
only 10 per cent for the first four months Oh
1882, but rose to Is per cent in August TWO
wears ago, to 32.4 per cent in August one year
ago. and to Al per cent in December 1884.
This order was a convenience to individuals,
but it operated badly for the Treasury after the
amount in circulation became large, and there
was no justification for it in public needs after
the issue of gold certificates had been author
lied by Congress.
Since Mr.. Manning has been Secretary, the
amount of silver certificates outstanding has
been reduced only about $16,OOO,OOo. But
the receipts at New-York alone show that the
reduction might have been much larger OF
more rapid, if the Secretary had chosen 70
strictly enforce the law, under which he is not
authorized to issue silver certificates excepting
upon the actual deposit Of standard silver dol.
lars at the point of issue. Large amounts OF
these notes have been scattered over the
country in circulation, so that it was some time
before the mere limitation of their issue ac-
complished much. But it is row evident that
the Treasury can avoid the payment of duties
otherwise than in gold or its equivalent If 1t
chooses. The fact that it has the ability to do
so is good reason for not borrowing money
from the banks of NewYork on fractional
silver coins which have been rejected from cir
culotion

4 LITTLE MORE TRUTH.

The Ercning Post, having waited forty-eight
hours In order to catch its breath, publishes the
bank directors letter which appeared in Satur-
davis TRIBUNE on the subject of Mr.. ROach's
failure. 1t admits that this letter implies that
- a certain director, or a whole bank, refused to
discount Mr. Roachs notes after the Attorney
Generals opinion was published but It con-
tends that il is purely matter of conjecture
how far the action of that bank, or OF other
banks. contributed to tho failure, and that the
effect of this disclosure is eilcctnally offset by
Mr. Roacl's own statement in The TRIBUNE
that his failure was caused by the free trade
press and the prospect of cheap fOreign-bu
ships. awe presume" IL adds, that Mr.
Roach knows as much about the causes of his
own failure as any bank director" We readily
concede that he does, and take pleasure in re-
ferrIng The Euoaing Post TO tho following
massage in Mr. Roach's statement in our
columns, which il has apparently overlooked:
The Dolphin, strong. substantial. excellent vosse,
was condemned the most puerie technioaities and
10 add TO this Injustice Mr. Garland has repudaiod the
contracts and practically said that there exists bnd-
ing agreement between and the Government. That
capped the climax. Business stagnant, $4,000 Of

tho result the good faith OF the people But men who
had money did not lend with tho prospec; that
the Government would reject tho work. Nv credit too
had been badly hurt by the wicked representations OF
the newspapers
Mr.. Roach, instead Of upsetting the bank
directors statement. confirms II in the very in
tervew in which The Ercning Post discovers
the complete @offset" lie says that the re-
pudiation of the contracts by the Attorney
General "capped the climax y" still he per
severed and made a desperate effort to raise
money to finish the cruisers, but capitalists
who had never refused his paper before Z" did
not wish 10 lend with the prospect that the
Government would reject the WORK." This is
precisely in accord with the bank directors &C
count of the failure. and since Mr.. Roach knows
as much about the causes of his business re-
verses as anybody else. The Erening Post ought
now to be convinced that Senator Sherman told
the truth when he said that tho Government
had forced him into bankruptcy.
