THE appointment of Mr.. Aquilla Jones, ST.,
to be postmaster of Indianapolis, is personal
triumph for Vice-president Hendricks, but it
is purchased at very heavy cost. When Mr..
Hendricks first essayed to come into public
life, Mr.. Jones brought to him the vote of
Bartholomew county, and thereby secured his
nomination as a candidate for Congress. It is
this debt Of gratitude which Mr.. Hendricks
has paid off. There has been no concealment
about the matter; it is purely and openly e
personal appointment, and to square off this
ancient political obligation. That Mr. Hen
bricks has remembered it for so long time
nearly third of century-is to
his credit as grateful friend;
but it is questionable plane
upon which to put the full force of his official
influence. Mr. Hendricks, for the first time
in his life, as a close personal and political
friend Of his said yesterday, has actually ex-
pended himself upon this postoffce nomina.
ton. Mr.. Jones is an old and estimable citi-
zen, but it is nothing but truth to say that il
thousand people had been asked to name a
postmaster, Mr.. Jones would probably neve,
have been mentioned. Beyond the age Of
seventy-two years, with all his active bust
ness life behind him, he is incapacitated fol
the hard work Of the Office, and must, in the
nature of the case, be largely igurehead,
while some one else will DO the real postmaster

MINISTER PHELPS, who goes to represent the
country at the court of ST. James, is an aris-
tocrat of the bluest blue. He has no SYM
patty in common with ordinary men, and his
appointment is extremely offensive to the
Irish. Dir. Phelps will take the highest pos
sible ground for an Anglicized American.

The total expenses OF the Montana Territori-
al Legislature, just ended, amount to but $6,
500. Indianians who want to go West to
grow up will turn their footsteps to the far
Northwest without delay. No State or Terri
tory could offer greater recommendations to
immigrants than this; unless, indeed, one
more enterprising than the rest should abolish
its legislature entirely.

fashioned virtue of the same name.

Our of an estate worth 50, 600, 900 the late Mr.
Gordon Burnham bequeathed his affianced bride
$4,000. Fifty thousand dollars is better than
nothing, and perhaps better than more with the

to have been really a liberal old man. Perhaps
too, he was not so madly in love as he was rep
resented.

Mr.. Hurd's demonstration against the Senate
yesterday showed in striking cOlOrs his power as an
orator and his originality and courage as a public
man. a more timid legislator would not have
identified the abstract principle OF the rights OF the
House with the fortunes OF pending bIll In which
many representatives are deeply interested. But
nnesSe Is not leading feature In Mr. HurG's policy
Instead, therefore, OF carefully disassOCiatng the
principle OF Senate aggression from any particular
measure, he selected very important bin recently
passed by the Senate and now before the House, as
the text for his onslaught. When, he said, the
Senate passes bill Ike the Blair educatonc! bill,
Treasury, tt is time 10 enforce the principle that
the power OF originating money bills belongs TO tie
House Of Representatives.
1t is the habit OF our constitutional lawyers TO
construe that gtterfng and elastic instrument to
square with their desires on the particular bin that
may be under consideration. Hence, although the
House might have been practically a unit against
Senate aggression in the abstract, there was a
strong feeling against declaring war against that
body just at this time and in that precise shape.
Mr.. Hurs had to fight his cause almost single
handed. and that so many followed his lead when
the roil-ca was taken Is a tribute TO his powers In
which he may well take pride.
In its practical bearings the vote was universally
Interpreted 10 mean that a small majority or the
House favors not Senate aggression, but the Blair
educational bill. The majority is much less than
two-thirds however, and it IS very doubtful there

Tho Treasury Department has a
curious claim awaiting its action
It is that of a man who claims boun-
ty and pay as g. soldier during near
lv the entire war. He alleges that
he started out in 1862 to join a GER
tain regiment. Just before he reach
cd the camp he was captured and
made a prisoner of war. taker
toe Confederate prison and detain.
ed as a prisoner until few weeks
before the end Of the war, when he
got away and did about two week s
actual service in the Federal army
He claims as a prisoner of war he
was serving the Government anf
that he ought to be paid from the
date he intended to join his regi-
ment. His name, 1t is said, cannot
be found on the records of the Con
federatc prison. All his statements
however, are fully supported by tes-
timony of persons who were faml'
lar with the circumstances, and
bill was pa ssed restoring his name
to the muster roll back to 1863
The bill failed, however, to fix his
status or provide that he should be
paid. Consequently the claimant
will probably not get his money un
tilssanother bill is passed for his ben
eft
