Fourth Presbyterian Church.

Last Sunday was field day. for the Fourth
Presbyterian Church. The pastor, Rev. G. L.
MeNutt, announced that funds had been raised
to reduce the Indebtedness of the church % per
cent, and arrangements made to carry the bal
ance on easy terms until it could be lifted. Fol
lowing this announcement Mr. MeNutt delivered
an address which moved the audience
as it has seldom been moved.
After the sermon the entire congregation re-
manned and gave their hand to the pastor,
pledging themselves, in new covenant, that
they would unite with him and with each other
in building up the interests Of the church With
a new pastor, who is gifted with brains energy
and grace, and who is a worthy successor of
those who have gone before with reduced debt,
and with a congregation heartily in accord with
the pastor. and unanimous in their zeal and their
efforts. the Fourth Church may be counted on as
entering upon new era of prosperity and great
t1safulneSs

In the Cincinnati Enquirer. last week, there
appeared an advertisement stating that upon re-
ceipt of twenty cents, sent to Inez Victoria La
Grande, general delivery, Indianapolis, a recipe
for identifying the complexion would be mailed
to any address. A large number of letters con-
tanning money were received at the postofice here,
but on the suspicious that there was something
wrong, they were held until an investigation in
regard to the matter could be made. request
to forward the letters to 'Lockbox w, Edin-
burg, Indiana" was received by the postmaster.
There was no signature to the communication,
and the request was not complied with. Special
Agent Pulsifer was sent to Edinbure, to inquire
into the matter He reported to the federal OFF,
GERS yesterday, that Postmaster Sims and his
deputy were interested in the scheme with a
woman, who advertised under an assumed name.
None of them had received anything, however.
Two deputies we're sent down to E6inburg last
night by Marshal Hawkins to arrest them.

Lang.s Removal Considered Certain.

A report was in circulation on the streets,
yesterday afternoon. that the Police Commits
sioners had determined to at once depose Super
intendent Lang and it was expected that action
in the matter would be taken at meeting of the
board which had been called for o'clock Short
ly before the hour fixed President Muir
ply announced that the meeting would
not be held, but the reason for the
postponement was not given, and could not be
learned. THERE'S no longer any doubt however,
that Lang win beremoved, and it is hardly prob
able that another week will pass before change
is made. The superintendent will not resign,
and if he is removed he will demand to know the
eause, and if the commissioners cannot show
that they have sufficiently satisfactory reasons
for their action. he will probably make considera-
able trouble for them, asst is understood that he
has determined to carry the matter into the
courts if necessary. Captain Colbert, doubtless,
will be promoted to Lang's position.

The Wire Edge Taken on.

The wire edge has been taken off of the Penn
sylvania railroad benefit scheme by the
telegram of General Manager Pugh. The tele-
gram from Mr. Pugh was to the effect, that
membership in the Beneficial and Relief Asso-
citation would not be made compulsory, and that
employees who had already made applications for
membership under the idea that they were COM
PEELED to, might withdraw them at any time be-
fore March %. For those who continued their
applications, and remained in the association,
and those who shall hereafter join during this or
next month, no February or March dues will be
required, the company making the amount good
without deducting from the March payment
This removes the most Questionable features.
There are those who are of the opinion that the
benefits for accident or sickness should be the
same; that the payments for the deaths of mem
bers shall be the same whether death results
from sickness accident, and that the words
discharge of duty" should be stricken out Of
all the regulations wherein they occur, thus put
ting the man off duty on the same footing with
regard to rates and benefits as the man at work
That there would be objection raised to the es-
tablishment or such an association was expected,
but SO much of q success has the Baltimore d
Ohio Relief Association proved, it was believed
all prejudices could easily be removed. 1t may
be well to remember the B. 81 0. employees did
some vigorous kicking before this association
got well upon its feet, and the greatest DIRECTORS
then are now its warmest supporters.

Superior Court Judgeships.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
With the understanding that full Republic

perior Court judgeships at the approaching
county convention. and that the name of Jacob
B. Julian, an honored member of the Tippecanoe
club, will be presented for nomination. there be-
ing opposition. of course, to the reelection of
Judges Howe and Walker feel authorized to
say that the club, now consisting of over $50
members, formerly of the grand old Wing party,
but now ardent supporters of the Republican
party and it's principles, will be, substantially a
unit in urging his nomination and election.
AS judge of the Circuit Court, Judge Julian
made an excellent and clean record. It is safe
to say that he is, in all respects, at least the
equal of any one else likely to be presented The
Tippecanoe Club has heretofore presented no
candidate-has sought to dictate no ones select
ion, and its members have uniformly been con-
tent to vote unselfshy for the candidate selected
by the party to which they are so unfiincnincly
attached. May they not, therefore. ask and in
sist, with much earnestness. as they will, that
Judge Julian whose worthiness and qualifica-
tions are not to be disputed should have place

The Transcontinental Fight.

NEW YORK, March L-Wall street was we'll
supplied to-day with rumors and gossip about
the transcontinental railway fight and it's prob
able outcome. but most of them could not be
traced to any reliable source. One said that the
the fight and was inclined to
compromise another that the Atchison
had inaugurated the fight to prevent Mr. Hunt
ington from marketing a lot of new bonds for the
terially changed, although there is downward
tendency. The Sunset" continues to meet the
Pacific Mail rates. Authority was received at
some of the Transcontinental Offices this morn
ing to draw orders between San Fran
cisco and the Missouri river at the same
rates as from the Missouri river to San Fran
cisco. good for thirty DAYS. This looks unfavor
able to an early settlement The West Shore
and Lackawanna roads, which are allowed
differential of 81 so on fares between New York
and Chicago claim this differential on the
through business to far West points under the
rate sheet which went into effect to-day. and are
selling at that reduction below the tariff. 1t is
thought that this may cause a disturbance. 1t is
customary. in issuing rate sheets. If any road is
allowed differential, to state so.
SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, March III. G. Stubs,
general trafic manager of the Southern Pacific
Company, has made one general rate Of $40 per
ton on all freight to New York,
regardless of class He has also ordered
two rates to be made from New York
to this point, of 81 per hundred on freight here

Owing to the demand of the Iowa roads that

htgatlon growing out of the Baxter bill. In 1874.
this doctrine was weakened. While the Maize case
never was very sound-for it assumed the very
point In 4ssue-it has never been expressly over
ruled An ingenious lawyer, with the Baxter
bill and its litigation before him, could rarely
draft a local option law that would avoid the
constitutional objections But the practical diff
hcuity remains that while public sentiment In
parts OF the State would sustain local option. in
others 1t would not, but is prepared for and could
sustain high license
g. License, high orlow, is objected toby extreme
temperance people on the ground that It Is
'blood money" As well license, say they,
houses of ill-fame and apply the proceeds to pub
lle schools, as license saloons. But the average
Hoos1er does not take this view, and Is upon
the whole, prepared TO vote for high license and
rigid regulation law holding saloons under
strict police supervision Moderate temperance
men say: ut is no use going faster than public
sentiment First work out temperance educa-
ton through high license and trust to time for
severer measures" This, however does not
suit the radical temperance people, comprising
powerful minority of our very best citizens.
Remembering that practical politics aims
at available and not abstract reforms, it seems
TO me that the Republican party could and
should go before the good people of Indiana this
fall with policy combining local option and
high license Suppose our platform should say,
III substance:
Resolved, That the Republicans are in favor of
such legislation as will give each township, village
town and city the power upon petition of majority
of its qualified voters either fix the price of license
to sell intoxicants at any not less than 800
annum or to refuse such license altogether in their
municipality.
This is, as / understand it, the Georgia idee."
It makes each community the judge of its tenn
perance policy The advanced temperance sem
timent of one locality does not have to carry the
backward sentiment Of another If Lake county
is satisfied with 500 of annual license, that does
not prevent Floyd county from charging $500,
or Orange county from refusing licenses alto
gether. OF course this resolution does not go
into details. That as we'll as the avoidance OF
constitutional objections, together with the in
dispensable police regulations, is the business of
the Legislature of 1887.
The Democratic party-so the signs sav-are
ready for high license. Let as Republicans go
them one better. Besides, this policy expresses
the very essence of Republicanism is local sells
