The people of Indiana, without respect to
party, will be deeply panied to hear of the mis-
fortune that has befallen the Attorney gen.
eral, Hon. Francis T. Hord, and their sympa-
thy will be extended to the afflicted family of
this honorable and honored gentleman. 1t is
to be hoped that Mr. Hord may be speedily
and permanently cured Of his distressing
malady, and he be returned to society in COM
plete physical and mental health, to resume
the career which has been crowned with such
distinction in the line Of his chosen profess
sion.

AS a champion of Liberty, with capital
RI" and several "rs," Herr Most is entitled
to the red rag His dauntless spirit can
never be broken. Dragged from under the
bed where he had retired in the still hours of
the afternoon, to mediate upon the oppressive
and cruel laws of the American Republic,
outraged in his tenderest sensibilities by the
police, who, as emissaries of tyrannical gov
eminent, interfered with his privacy, he might
have been excused had he uttered nothing
more than personal protest; silence even
would have been understood to represent the
sorrow of a great man too full for distinct
utterance. But the agitator the enemy of
the monopolist and Of the debased employer
who requires his hired help to work, this
noble being rises to the occasion and shouts
for liberty of his friends to the last. The
picture of Herr Most, with lint in his eyes
and feathers in his tangled hair, waving his
arms aloft, and apotheosizing liberty in the
very faces of heartless minions of the law, is
one which has not been equaled in effective
ness during the labor agitations.

DIR MUSICAI, FESTIVAL.

The high character of the indianapolis must
cal societies and the excellence of individual
performers are well understood and appre-
ciated in circle much wider than can be
properly termed local. The fact that the best
talent the city can boast will be utilized in
the coming June festival is sufficient assur-
ance to the people Of the State that visit to
the capital on that occasion will be well re-
paid. The entertainments given by the sep
arate organizations from time to time are of a
character of which any musical center"
might we'll be proud; and although Indian
apolis has not hitherto claimed that title, it
will probably do so if the we'll warranted ex-
pectations regarding the coming festival are
realized. Should it prove the success antici-
pated it may be regarded as the first of an
annual series of celebrations, and the music
lovers who have found it necessary in past
years to go to other cities to crafty their
tastes will patronize home talent and be salts
fed.
When, in addition to the local concerts, In
dianians are afforded in the same week the
privilege of hearing the new American Opera
Company, the treat is indeed noteworthy.
This company is the outgrowth of general
dissatisfaction with italian opera, and of a
widespread feeling that musical culture in
this country had reached such stage as to
warrant the establishment Of an association of

For refined impudence, under very disad-

recently junketing with his fellows through
the South to escape their duties as lawmakers
Of Ohio In an interview at Covington, KY,
where the Democratic Senators held a caucus
on Tuesday night, he blandly said: eve

or popular government is a farce" This, from
gentleman who had conspired to set aside
the law and the Constitution, and who fed tie
State to avoid doing his duty as legislator,
may be considered pretty bold. No doubt
these gentlemen are very solicitous concern
ing the law and Constitution, but, if they are,
they take very strange way to show it. The
plain duty of Ohio Legislators is to remain at
Columbus during the sessions Of the Legisla-
ture to see that the right kind of laws are
made. This the Democratic Senators, includ-
ing Senator Cable, did not do and it is highly
impudent for them to protest that they have
great respect for the law and the Constitution.
The proper thing to do, were 1t possible.
would be to give them short term of impris

their sworn duties.

THE report that Mr.. Morris Mcdonald had
left the Republican party, based on the state
ment that he voted at a recent Democratic

Another Grand Army Post Speaks.

The following resolutions, offered by Comrade
r. S. Robertson, were unanimously adopted by
Anthony Wayne Post, No. 271, G. A. r., Depart
mept OF Indiana at their meeting May 7, 1886:
Resolved That the recent reasonable and seditous
utterances of Jefferson Davis and the unlimited and
enthusiastic applause with which they received
by almost the whole people OF the Southern States,
should be looked upon with alarm by all lovers of
country and those who desire it's perpetuity, and
deserving the rebuke of all good and loyal citizens
throughout the land.
That, while we do not consider jefferson Davis
capable of much harm, that his utterances are of
any considerable Importance, because they are the ut
terances of old soured and putrid "Reminiscences OF
dead and buried past of tyrant traitor, who was
hated and despised by his subjects while he was in

shortved Confederacy; who played the role OF sneak
and coward during the last days of it's exstence who
merited the of brave by the circumstances
of his capture and by his whining petulance while

fame would be greater had he really died when his

something requiring serious thought and careful
sderaton that large portion of the people of the
South should indorse and applaud mis- resurrected

sentative of the he declares just and holy
one.
That as soldiers we can sympathize with the feeling
which raises monuments to the confederate dead, and
can join in paying honors to the herosm and devotion

the shirt of loyalty and patriotism protest against
the claim and condemn the idea that the war to per-
petuate human slavery and break down the Republic

and Union unjust unholy. The SCARED bodies
of the living and the graves of the dead protest against
such classifying of history.
That believe that question, and all questions
growing out of it, forever settled by the arbtra
ment of the sword to which jefferson Davis appealed
and that is crime against loyalty to try to reverse
that decision.
That by that decision he traitor whose only
deserts short halter and short shrft; and that
he only lives to day example of the most won

Correspondence of the India napolis Journal
GOSHEN, May 1.-THE friends of submission
and local option had two large and interesting
mass-meetings in the courthouse, in this place
-one Sunday afternoon and the other last even
ing. These meetings were addressed in an able
and impressive manner, by E. B. Rev nolds
who is just now the champion of this very prac
ticable method of reaching the given object. His
plea for local option as means to accomplish
the proposed end was indeed eloquent, and made
a most favorable impression upon those who
heard it. Mr. Reynolds is the right man in the
right place, and his visit here has done good.
Put old Ekhart down as solid on local option.
