THE invitation committee, seconded by
Governor Curtin, urge that the press and pub
lie of Indiana be well represented at Gettys-
burg on the 4th and 5th Of May, when the
veterans who participated in that great battle
will meet to celebrate the, event Tho Sew
enth and Nineteenth Indiana regiments were
engaged on that stubbornly- contested field of
the first day, when the gallant General Rey-
nolds was killed. Buford's Cavalry and the
First and Eleventh corps held the field until
late in the day. and then retired to Cemetery
Hill, which was the key of the field. The
Fourteenth Indiana, as usual distinguished
itself in this memorable battle. The
Twentieth fought in Wards brigade
to the right and in advance of the Devils
Den, where one of the most sanguinary con-
ficts took place. Hoosiers who visit the field
and look from Little Round Top down on that
part of the field vill be proud that one of our

the money appropriated by Congress to the
exposition has not all been turned over to the
managers, this demand is regarded by the
Treasury officials as opening up a troublesome
question. The enterprise is coming out deeply
in debt and call upon the government by

and as that is all that prohibition does
wherever it has been tried, we fail to see the
consistency Of prohibitionist putting himself
against high license when it is the only pos
s;ble thing we can have Let the license, or
tax, upon liquor saloons be made as high as
the State law will allow. That is the demand
of the great body of the people and taxpayers,
who are not represented either by Sim Coy or
by those who oppose the measure as unjust,
unwise and unchristian."

Twenty -seyenth fought on the extreme right
of the line where the confederates attempted
to flank our army and capture the reserve ar
tillery and ammunition. The Third Cavalry
also took conspicuous part, and Indiana's rec
ord there is is one Of which every patriotic
citizen may well be proud. The occasion of
the meeting on the 4th and 9Th Of May will
afford an excellent opportunity to visit this
spot, made memorable by one of the greatest
battles of the world, and classic by the sub
lime words of the immortal Lincoln.

SAME old story. Another explosion of some
kind in a government Office in London, and
the same old American ciock-iace risht-side-
up in the middle OF the floor. With this kind
Of clew, with dynanitards insisting on having
American goods or none and with the name
blown III the bottle in addition to the proprie-
tors signature in fac-simile on the wrapper it
would seem an easy matter to trace the perpe-
traitors of these oatrages right to their head
quarters in Oshkosh. With his customary
energy Colonel Majendie has taken hold Of
the case, aud it is confidently expected
that developments will develop He
has secured wax casts Of several of the splin-
tiers and is having chemical analysis made
of the paint on the clock face, without which
no dynamite explosion is genuine. Photo
graphs of the holes in the floor and ceiling
have been secured, with view to discovering
whether the explosive WIS manufactured IN
the United States or in Hoboken. This done,
the rest will be easy. The Colonel will pro-
ceed to demonstrate that it is twice as easy to
reach London from New York as from Paris
or Brussels. He will likewise prove
that the gentlemen ia France
and Belgium, who periodically hold
dynamite meetings, are not dynamitards at
all, but holy men dcyis;ng ways to raise funds
for the purpose of establishing sunday-schools
and wooden mills in central Africa.
Certain spectators in London, realizing tie
value Of such things, have endeavored to get
corner On splinters, and the prices of photo
graphs of explosions and wrecks have gone up
500 per cent during the past forty-eight
hours. Picked and graded spiinters are now
selling at one pound a splint, with stiff de-
mand and few offers. A No l splinter
passes current over the counter at the Bank of
England, and the company, through Mr. May
the cashier, are negotiating for larger re-
serve 1t is predicted by the bulls on Change
that wooden toothpicks will command
penny each on open board by Monday. We
think the government is making serious
mistake in this business AS the market now
rules, house is worth vastly more in irregu-
lar pieces than in good shape, and there is
every incentive to blow up the few buildings
yet standing. The only possible advantage
we can see is that Colonel Majendie's hired
girl will no longer have occasion to use coal
oil in starting the kitchen fire. Indeed, the
suspicion is already abroad that his aim is
to either bankrupt the government into buy
ing these fragments, or to secure t9rhimself
his supply of winter fuel without cost to him
self. In either case he is the enemy Of his
country, and should be deposed -
