The Papers in MIR. Lambs Case.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, May 1O-The story that the
Democratic press is circulating in Indiana, to
the effect that Senator Harrison had decided to
not present to the judiciary committee papers
which may be sent to him i'll relation to the con-
irmation of United States District Attorney
Lamb, Is wholly false. Senator Harrison has,
at all times, been ready and willing and is now
to properly refer to the committees and depart
ments all papers sent to him from reputable con-
stituents upon any subject.
Reckless Expenditures for Public Printing
Washington Special.
The result of tho extravagant and useless
amount of printing ordered by Congress this

the governments expense is getting to be such q

THE DIVISION OF PARTIES.

Formerly there were party divisions

resentative Weaver, Of Iowa. gave utter
ance the other day TO a rather correct
statement Of the general commingling Of
party lines in these words: "There is no
policy or purpose 10 this House to-day
in either one OF the great political parties
represented upon this floor. You may
be a high protective tariff man or a free
trader, and still be either q Democrat or
a Republican, Just as you choose. You
can be an anti. bank man or a bank man
and be a member Of either OF the parties
represented on this floor. except the
Greenback party. You can be a monop.
oiist or an anti.monopolist; you can be
a mono-metallist or a bimetalIist; you
can be a Blair bill man or an anti Blair
bill man and still be an acceptable mem.

ship. There is no policy here in either
party. nothing, | fear. but death and dis
indignation. Evils are rampant, but
Congress is deaf and blind. The remedy
must come from a purpose on the part of
the majority of the House; the remedy
must come from those having power,
from this Democratic House, taking hold
of these questions with courage and
pressing them for consideration and
passage. We must have a purpose. We
must have tests of membership. Every
organization in the world that is worth
anything has tests of membership. The
Masons have them; the Odd Fellows
have them; the Knights of Labor have
them; but here the great political parties
of this country have none, and a man
may believe anything about heaven. hell.

A Brave Kansas Girl,


A healthy Kansas girl has discovered 3
way to prevent ~hydrophobia which is
guaranteed never to miss fire, and is so
simple that il will be sure to recommend
itself 10 the civilized nations Of the world.
1t appears that q little dog belonging 20
the Kansas young woman went mad, and
with Q look in his eyes as green as an early
cucumber. commenced bowling and snap
ping at everything III sight. Instead OF
following the example Of the other mem
bers of the family, and hurriedly bunting
for q high roost. the brave and buxom
Kansas lass picked up g large washtub
and stood her ground. and when the in
furiated dog came raging toward her she
quietly clapped the tub over him and then
sat down on The bottom of IL, allowed the
mad canine to whirl around inside while
she cody arranged her front hair. The
Kansas girl was Of solid weight and broad
Of beam, and the smo,hered bowls and
constant humping inside the tub did not
make her the least bit nervous, because
she knew that as long as she kept her seat
there was no earthly hope for the dog.
She continued 10 sit On the tub until SONS
Of the neighbors came to her assistance.
when a hole was bored in the side, q pistol
barrel inserted and the dog killed. The
admirable nerve and presence of mind OF
the Kansas girl has enabled her to demon
strate in a very satisfactory manner the
efficacy OF a washtub as q preventive oil
hydrophobia, and the world should profit
by her discovery.

POSTAL sAvTNGs Backs.

The postal savings bank system is
being discussed in the Southern journals.
Opinion does not seem TO be unanimous
in favor Of the plan, though sone Of the
most influential journals have given their
adhesion 10 it. Among these is the
New Orleans Times democrat, which re-
CARDS the scheme as one peculiarly in the
interest Of the Sca.h and Southwestern
States. This journal declares that nine
teen-twentieths Of the population are to
day out Of the reach Of any savings
bank, and have no place where they can
pot their savings except places Of conceal
ment Of the most primitive kind. OF
course, the want Of places Of security for
savings develops an ~improyiden. habit
and thus operates directly to discourage
accumulation. One Of the chief adyan-
tages TO be derived from the postal saw.
ing system will be the encouragement
which it will give to habits of providence,
q feature upon which the journals adj
vocatiDg the measure do well to lay
special stress On.
The feasibility and value Of the system
have been SO fully demonstrated in Eng
land. and its convenience and desirability
here in this country are SO clear. that the
House Committee on Postofices have
recommended the passage Of a carefully
prepared bill establishing such banks, TO
pay interest at two per cent. to be paid
from the investment in United States
bonds, or guaranteed by the United
States. The interest should be low, SO
as TO promote withdrawal Of proper sums
to be invested elsewhere. When, in the
course Of paying of the national obliga-
tions, interest could be paid no longer,
there would remain absolute security
for the depositor. 1t is not a scheme to
supercede private savings banks. On
the contrary, in England the private
banks held on deposit in 1876 about Sl0,-
600. 600 more than in the year before the
opening Of the postal savings banks.
The scheme conflicts with private banks
only as the postal carriage OF merchan-
disc conflicts with the express companies.
Both have plenty Of business. The postal
banks have been urgently recommended
by the Postmaster General and commit
tees of Congress, and it is understood
that the present committee is fayorably
inclined 10 the bill. The system is SO
convenient and excellent that its friends
will not be ~disheartened by any disap-
pointment, and the plan will be pushed
until its usefulness secures it's adoption.

an Apology-The Grant Memorials.
WASHINGTON Cry. March 3 The
Critic Thursday publishes a column explana-
tory of the circumstances which led 10 the
PRONUNCIATION of the Chinese message by the
president The Investigations of Col Bee,
consul general OF China at San Francisco,
into the Rock Springs massacre, convinced
that officer that it was cruel outrage, per
petrated by white men, whom he supposed
to be Americans, upon an inotfensive peo-
pie He so reported to his home govern
ment His report was forwarded to the i'm
peIial Chinese legation here and 10 China
through the proper official channels
The instructions the Chinese min
lister received from his govern
ment were startling He was directel
TO demand from the United States the total
disavowal of the affair; the condign punish
ment-capitally-w killing could be
proven against individuals, and recuniary
indemnity to the sufferers for their losses,
to be paid by the United States This was
the ultimatum. Ii the United States re-
fused to comply with the demands the presi-
dent was to he informed that the Chinese
government would Immediately proceed to
collect the indemnity from American citI
2ens in business in the imperial territory, and
withdraw its protection from them, which
meant that they would he notified to leave
China at once. simultaneously with this,
unfortunately, came to the state depart
ment from semi-othcial source in London
that the Marquis Tseng, Chinese ambassl-
dor to the court of st james and st Cloud,
was about TO return home to take high
position in the imperial council OF the state,
and that he would insist upon stern meas
ures being taken against the United States
to mark its displeasure at the outrages
which the American authorities permitted
its citizens to commit against bis people
without any attempt being made to prevent
or punish those who openly avowei. their
participation i'll them.
This was the situation when the president
sent the message to congress on Tuesday
last 1t will be seen that he denies the
right of the Chinese government To demand
an indemnity for property destroyed. This
is point upon which the instructions at
the imperial council to the minister
admit of no concessions 1t has been known
for a month past that the Chinese minister
here is to return home very soon 1t is
learned that he viii take with him the
final conclusions of the president in regard
to this matter
These are the simple facts The Critic says
