THE Cincinnati Enquirer pays doubtful
compliment to Mr.. Holman, of this State,
who addressed the people of Batavia, O., on
Yesterday. 1t announces that ''Mr Breckin-
ridge, of Kentucky would also be there, and
that he YVES zone of the prettiest speakers of
his State, or Of the country" It is possible,
of course that this remark was not intended
to offend; but the suspicion will obtain that it
was the intention of the Enquirer to offset
the proverbial LONELINESS of Indiaua's great

1t was further discovered that he had printed
a little paper during the war, which was not
distributed where published, but was secretly
sent South, where its sentiments were more
popular. For the rebel in arms there is re-
spect of certain kind, but for the copper
head, who had not the courage to fight for
what he believed to be right, there is precious
little sympathy. This is the kind of man the
President has seen fit to put INTO place for
which he is in no wise fitted. Such is an
other instance of civil-service reform as
practiced by the Democratic administration.

ATLANTA evidently aspires to become the
Eden of modern times. Not content with
getting rid of the liquor traffic, the ladies Of
that city are now waging war against the
houses of prostitution. and will not stop until
they are all closed The moving cause of
this reform is that there have been several
disgraceful scandals and fights recently in
more of it. These houses are at perpetual
warfare with womankind everywhere.

THE explanation why Mr.. Benedict was

could be gained in little country printing
Office that could be hauled away in common

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. Z, 1886"

Mr.. p A. WARD, in the indignation he
feels at the way he and his fellowIrishmen
have been treated. gives voice to some very
pertinent criticisms of those who manage the
Democratic party to their own good. It is
about time that men like Mr.. Ward cut loose
from such associations, from those who have
little or no use for an Irshman unless he can
be used as one would tool. 1t is not enough
that sop in the shape Of John E. Lamb and
Thomas Hanlon be thrown these gentlemen.
The day is coming when the Irish voters of
Indiana will not consent to be counted like SO
many sheep, to do the bidding Of their politi-
cal masters. Mr.. Ward has given vent to his
Irish ability to cut deep in way that the
bosses Of the Democratic party will despise.
The picture he paints is so true to nature that
there will be no chance to deny it. He evil
IDENTIFY knows the men he talks about.

TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
"The indianapolis Sentinel has given cur
rency to a statment in which it is asserted that
in 1882 refused to support the nominees of
my party for the Legislature. The statement
is utterly false and without foundation in
fact. l have always supported the ticket of
the Republican party, legislative, congress
sional and presidential and as a man OF con-
victions which have been hardened by long
training could at no time have got my own
consent to break from the ranks of that party,
with which spentamy youth and early man
hood, and whose many triumphs 1 have shared
and enjoyed. The originator of this false
hood has adroitly amplifed the same by as
sorting that, as compensation for such fancied
apostacy, was rewarded by commissioner
ship on the Metropolitan Police Board of Ev-
ansville. This is too contemplate to deserve
attention, and for refutation of this sanoer
can only refer to the present Auditor, Treas
urer and Secretary of State, together with ex-
Governor Porter who made the appointment
at the request of the citizens Of my town,
Democrats and Republicans alike.

An Explicit and Unequivocal Declaration.
Shelbyville Republican.
The Republican State platform is clear. ex-
pliclt unequivocal. There is not obscure
sentence in it. Nothing is left to Interpretation.
Every proposition is stated in clear, concise, I'M
mistakable language. 1t takes bold and manly
stand on all the questions of the day The
greatest interest was very naturally felt in the
temperance plank, which, like all the Others is in
definite and plain language. There is no need
to call for wise man to interpret that plank.
1t is clear statement of the party, but does not
go to extremes. The surest sign that it is wise
and conservative is the opposition of the ex-
tremists. 1t was not designed to please the ex-
treraists but to state principles upon which all
reasonable men can stand and this has been
done The Republican party has never gone
into battle drawer, clearer or more ringing
document than that pat forth by the late con
Yention.

On July the City Council refused to grant Ii
censes to the five saloon-keepers of Macon.
These went out of business, and in their stead
sprang up eight gallon houses. Tonight an or

restraining these gallon-shops. The ordinance
provides that liquor may be sold in quantities of
one gallon or more. in unbroken packages only
not to be used on any premises controlled by
the LIQUOR seller; all billiard and pool tables
must be removed from the room where the liq-

are not allowed. The gallon houses must be
closed at o'clock at night, and heavy penalties
are attached to violations Temperance people

Tn the death of Hon. William Baxter of
Richmond, Indiana loses one of her best citi-
zens. His services in the Legislature were
conspicuous, and always on the side of right.
He came into special prominence by reason of
the fact that he was recognized as the father
of the Baxter bill," of 1873 which was a
local-option measure. He was a well-known
and successful business man.

A Proposition for Complete Reorranixa-
tion of the Knights of Labor
PTTTSBURG, Sept Tt is understood that at
the national convention of the Knights of La
Dor, at Richmond, next month, changes in the
present laws will be made that will amount,
practically, to a complete reorganization of the
order The district plan has not proven 80 sue
cessful as was expected, for the reason that in
many places districts have been formed within
districts, and in consequence the local strength
has been divided. The great number of dis
trict assem- blies also makes it impossible for the
general officers, even with the assistance given
the executive board at the Cleveland meeting,
to keep up with business The result is that i'm
portant matters frequently cannot be investi-
gated promptly enough TO prevent dissatisfao-
ton. To remedy this, 1t is proposed to model
the order upon the government of the United
States-that is TO have State organizations and
supreme or national assembly. State assem-
biles, under the new plan, will have control of
the territory under their Jurisdiction, but the
acts Of their officers will be subject TO reversal
by the general master workman. Thus Mr.
Powderly will retain supreme control, while
gaining relief from the routine work that now
falls on his shoulders. The plan has been thor
oughly canvassed since the adjournment of the
Cleveland convention. and there is little doubt
but that it will be adopted

the State administration wherever it be made
practicable, to the end that the corruption and

public institutions may be done away with, and they

striking union brewers of this city and their
former employers has taken an interesting turn,
and the union men find 1t difficult to supply the
demand for beer which is not bovcotted By some
one or other. The union has boycotted beer
brewed by the firms against which they are
striking, and the latter refuse to sell TO the
saloons who sympathize with the strikers. Beer
made in other cities and by firms popular with
the union is therefore in great demand.
