Of q permanent benefit. a lasting damage to the
commerce of the Mississippi.
Mr.. E. B. Taylor. OF Ohio. favored the bill,
ignored the harbor of Ashtabula, in his district.
The main fault he found with these bills was
that they ignored what were called small, but
which were really important rivers and harbors.
Mr.. Springer gave notice of an amendment
which he purposed to offer, providing that no
money shall be paid for Improvement Of Calves
ton harbor until the person or corporation own
ing or controlling the wharf in that harbor shall
file with the Secretary of War an agreement in
writing to the effect that only such sums will be
charged for wharfage, etc., as may be Just
and reasonable.
Mr.. Gibsoni opposed that portion of the bill
which creates the office of advisory engineer of
the Mississippi River Commission, and recon-
mends the appointment of James b. Eads. He
looked upon this provision as an unconstitutional
encroachment upon the appointing power of the
President. and as a provision which would invite
an executive veto Of the whole bill. Besides,
the adoption of this provision would be, virtually,
to set aside the commission and turn its work
over to the control of one man, and that a man
whose plans for the improvement of the Missis-
sippi required an estimated appropriation of
800, 900. 900.
Mr.. Reagan earnestly supported the appropri-
alton for improvement Of Galveston harbor, ar
euing that it would prove a great benefit to the
whole country.
Pending further debate the committe rose and
the House adjourned

coroner's jury rendered the following verdict to-
day: Bennett Parsons came to his death by be,

ufacturers of this district, including five mills in
Wheeling and five across the river, met to-day
and adopted a card rate of s.. 20 for cut nails, an

sentatives were present from Maryland, Vir-

New England. The card price was advanced to

THE JOURNALISTS

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL Is recog-
nized everywhere as the leading newspaper Of
indiana No proper expense will be spared in
the future to maintain this undisputed excel
lence and to increase the value and interest Of
the paper. THE JOURNAL was never so well
equipped to serve the public. Our arrangements
for the collection of the news of the day are
more complete than ever, and we are adding
some special features for 1885 which must en-
nance the popularity of the paper.
THE JOURNAL is the only paper in Indians
that prints regularly the full reports Of the
Western Associated Press, which are now
more comprehensive than ever, covering the
whole world. These dispatches are supple.
mented by the work Of special correspondents
at all the principal cities and towns Of the
State apd of the country at large. We have q
special resident representative at Washington
City, who looks after the news of the national
capital with vigilance, paying particular atten-
ton to that which most nearly concerns THE
JOURNALS constituency. The national admin
~istration will soon pass into the control of the
Democratic party, and the fullest and most re-
liable intelligence from Washington will DO
presented in our news columns, free from party
bias, impartially, and without restraint.
The new State administration takes charge o.
affairs with the beginning of the new year. The
Democratic Legislature will be in session. Tho
Journal will pay unusual attention to the daily
presentation of such a report of its doings thas
any citizen of the State may know all that Is 60.
ing on affecting the public interests, accompa-
MED with such comment as may be needed to ex-
plain the possible political, social and economie
effects of the proposed legislation.
Editorially THE JOURNAL is a Republican
paper, believing in the principles aud general
policy of the Republican party; but it recognizes
that the day of blind party organising has passed.
and it proposes to be perfectly free to criticiss
and condemn, but in a spirit and with a pur-
pose for good, having a proper regard
for personal rights and regulations
The citizen, whatever his political faith, can be
assured of seeing in the columns of TIE
JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation
of the news, and in its editorial columns such
comment and structures as will command his re-
spect if they do not meet his approval. 1t may
also be said that THE JOURNAL is published
as a FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 1t recognizes
that the women and the children are to be in
structed and entertained. They will always find
in its columns matter specially prepared for
them, while the paper will be so conducted as to
prove a welcome visitor in the household. The
news will be presented in such shape as 20 min
imize the evil, and it's editorial and local columns
will be kept free from moral faint.
The Railroad News of THE JOURNAL is ad-
mittedly the freshest. fullest and most accurate
printed by any newspaper in the country.

THE MISSING EDITOR.
No News as to the Whereabouts of s.. S. Con-
ant-Interview with His Associate.

NEW YORK. Jan. 29-The assistant editor of
Harperis Weekly said, to day, that no light had
yet been thrown on the mysterious disappear
ance of S. S. Conant, managing editor of that
periodical. Pinkerton's detectives are working
on the case, but up to noon had made no report.
1t is understood they are working on a clew
which indicates that Conant has gone South.
The wife of Mr.. Conant says her husband has
gone South for the benefit of his health. She
said she was not at all alarmed because of his alb
sence, and that he would soon be back. Further
than this she declined to speak on the subject.
X. II. Sinclair. who is associated with Mr..
Conant in the m engagement of Harper's Weekly,
said this morning he was sure there was no truth
in the report that Mrs. Conant had received a
letter from her husband saying he would be
home Friday. The search for Conant has been
carried on by his son and detectives. II am
utterly at a loss to account for Commits disap-
p%earance, said Sinclair, except on the theory
that he wandered away while suffering from
temporary insanity. On the day he disappeared
he was at the Office attending to work as usual,
and there was no evidence that he was not all
right. He left the Office saying that
he would be back early on Monday morning,
as he intended to go to Albany with his son on
Saturday. He carried very little money. and
had no expensive jewelry. Mr.. Conant was ac-
customed to walk from the Office to his nome in
Brooklyn. crossing the Fulton ferry. If any
mishap had befallen MIN on the way we should
have received some word ere this, for he carried
cards and papers which would at once lead to
Identification, unless, indeed, he was assaulted
and his body thrown into the river; but this
theory | do not consider tenable. because such
an assault could scarcely have been committed
in the streets through which he was accustomed
to pass on his way home.

There was dearth of attractions last week.

opera house, and on Tuesday evening ''Ten
Nights in Bar Room was presented at the
same place by amateurs. On Thursday even
ing the dance under the auspices of Company
took place at the armory and was we'll at
tended. On Friday evening the last of the
series of entertainments in connection with
the Presbyterian church was successu lly
held. In addition there were two or three
card parties and sociables.
This week the program will be still more
meager so far as reports at the present time
warrant. On Monday evening the band
has benefit at the roller skating rink, at
which there will be mile race for prizes On
Friday evening The High School Literary So
ciety has an entertain ment at the High schOo
for the benefit of its library, and it will
present one of the finest programs it has
yet had. The scenes will be from the Mer-
chant OF Venice, and in addition to the vari-
Gus characters, it will be illustrated by the
stereopticon. The Glee club will also take
part. There will also be few euchre and
social parties,- but it is too near Easter for
much in the way of entertainments.
