Rev. S. G. Wishard, at the union service held
at the First Presbyterian Church last evening,
delivered his address on christian Progress in
the New South" in which he gave review of
the work done by the Presbyterian denomination
in Kentucky. He prefaced his remarks by read
ing the fourteenth chapter of Joshua, giving the
history of Joshua and Caleb in the land of Ca
naan, and how the Lord had led his people
on. of the wilderness. Going back
to the time when this continent
was discovered. he compared the
history of the United States to that of Canaan,
showing that the history of this country was
just as strongly marked by the hand of God as
the history he had just read. First came the
war with the mother country and then other
minor struggles. With the first slave ship that
landed in the James river the curse of human
slavery had been fastened upon tho country

How Tim Clarke Might Have Been Superin-
tendent of Police Instead of Turnkey.

In speaking of the removal of Superintendent
Lang, State officer said day or two ago that
Tim Clarke, the station house turnkey, would
have been promoted to the command of the po-
lice force instead of Sergeant ODonnell if it had
not been for the intimate relations supposed to
exist between him and Sim Coy. "It is not gen.
rallyknown," added the speaker. ''but as matter
of fact, Clarke would have been given Lang's
position when the force was organized, if he
had not been so modest. When the Commits
sioners were examining the recommendations Of
applicants for positions on the force, they sent
for Clarke to learn from him what he knew about
some OF the men with whom he was acquainted.
he was very candid in giving the desired in
formation, and the Commissioners were
influenced more by what Clarke told them about
the different applicants than by the recon-
mendations which were on ile When they got
down to the position of turnkey, they found that
there was no application for the place on file.
DO you know good man for this position,
Mr. ClarkeP .one of the Democratic Commission
ers asked.
IN take it, myself answered Clarke.
The Commissioners were astounded. None
OF them had supposed that he would accept any
position on the force, as he was engaged in
business which was believed to be satisfactory to
him. He was promptly appointed, but they
would have made him a captain instead of
turnkey if he had intimated that the place
would have been acceptable, and, therefore, in
stead Of Lang becoming superintendent. the
successor of Robbins would have been Clarke

THE LOCAL POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
Effective Fight Being Made Against Rodgers
Marsh Palmer's Insult to Church People.

There is but one week more of the township
election campaign. Thus far the work of both
parties has been quietly conducted, and not
without the most promising results for the sue
cess of Captain Many and the candidate for
assessor, Thomas Quill Republicans every where
have nothing but very cheerful predictions to
Offer Rodgers's friends still act upon the
belief that his nomination is an
absolute guarantee Of Democrats ownership Of
the Knights of Labor vote, but there is no evil
dence that he will get anything more from that
order than what naturally belongs to his party
Efforts were made to have him Endorsed by all
of the assemblies, but they failed to meet the
wishes of many who would have otherwise given
their support to him. The past week has by no
means changed the political situation of the
order in the determination of the members to
vote as they please
There is quiet and effective personal fight
being made against Rodgers by Democrats who
have grievances relating to his past treatment
of them in business matters. And then, again,
there is a soreness among certain candidates
who opposed him in the convention which, to-
gether with the distinctly marked purpose Of in
telligent workingmen, irrespective of party, to
resist further efforts to catch their support be-
cause this or that man claims to be one Of their
number, is really reducing the Rodgers influence
His friends make absurd assertions but when
pinned down to the actual phases of the cam
paign acknowledge that Captain Many is receiv-
ing large support from classes upon whom they
counted in the beginning
Marsh Palmer, the Democratic candidate for
assessor, is also being opposed within his party.
The responsibility of securing the removal of the
veteran soldier and Knight of Labor Jim Car
negie, from petty position because he did not
like him, and further, because he hates the idea
of Union soldier having any reward has con-
siderably lessened Palmer's forces. Last week

phrase, that does not look we'll in print Palmer
claims to be very independent, with no hope or

The Survey of Meridian Street.

In the original survey of indianapolis the mag
netic needle varied from six to seven degrees
east of north. This causes Meridian street to
follow line at slight angle with the cross
streets. The parallel streets. though, above
First were run a corrected line due north, but
Meridian followed the original survey The
cross streets We're arranged to the true meridian
Some trouble has attended this survey in giving
a larger frontage on Meridian street than on any
of its parallel streets, and has caused houses, in
some instances, to be built from a few inches to
several feet beyond the dividing lines Of lots,
