near Irwin Grove Wednesday morn

health has been very poor for several
months, but he was confined to his
bed only about a week. His death
was not from disease, but seemed to
be from general debility Of his
physical organization. He was one
of the earliest settlers in the county,
having moved here in 1866. He
was a man esteemed by his neighbors
and respected by all favored with
his acquaintance. The funeral will

IRVING O. WHITING chairman Of the finance
committee Of the Boston, Mass, Y. NJ. G. A.,
in his report makes the following statement.
eve are more and more impressed with the
claims such institutions as ours have for sup
port from business men. Of the enormous
amounts the community are compelled to pay
annually for State and municipal taxes, moro
than half are for reformatory and punitive
purposes.
Whatever tends to diminish idleness and
crime directly lessons the amount thus need
ed. By furnishing young men with employ
ment, by equipping them for business posi-
tons, by stimulating their mental faculties
by giving them healthful amusements, by in
MIGRATING their physical power and elevating
their moral character we are preventing the
possibility Of their joining the classes that
burden society. This is what we have done
the past year for more than three thousand
young men; and it is not the religious and
charitable alone who sustains u.s. but the pru-
dent business man, who desires to see his
taxes reduced and his property made safer"

after October 4, 1885, will not have the right

The Nominating Convention.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis journal:
can see many reasons why the central COM.
mittes should not Ak an early date for holding
the convention can see no possible reason fog
fixing an early date, only to benefit certain can
didates, and believe the welfare of the party is
of much more Importance than the interest Of
any candidate. The people ana the Republican
party have much more at stake than have the
candidates These long campaigns of seven or
eight months have always resulted disastrously
to the party. The papers of the opposition have
ample time in the seven or eight months TO dis
sect the records of all the nominees, to villify
and nisrepresent and to heap abuse
unrelenting upon the ticket Many people read
these false statements and believe them, and de-
feat comes in this way. Republicans read Demo
cratic papers. The majority of Democrats read no
paper. and those who do read them read the
most ultra Democratic paper they can obtain
do not want to pattern after the Democratic
party, but they nominate their ticket on the eve
of election and the people have not time TO look
mn the record or Judge of the merit OF the differ
emit nominees. Democrats support their ticket.
Republicans scratch and vote for Democrat
whom they have no knowledge OF, simply
part of the ticket, and defeat is the
result long campaign wears out
the workers, the nominees, and cause much
oyerwork. unnecessary work and unnecessary
expense A short. spirited campaign of two
months is long enough for any purpose. Inere
is no tagging behind, but everybody goes to
| work with animation and feeling of duty, ana
| a fnll vote ia brought out Let the committee,
| on Saturday fix late date IL they NIX oase az
| ali. and when the time does come nominate the
/ hest men. and we shall undoubtedly WIN gort-
| Gus victory this fall. T. v a.

Rev. JOSEPH Cook, of Boston, alludes. ia
Sunday newspapers as "crawfshes in the dies

urges printers to refuse to break the Sabbath
by working on them. Up in Chicago, ON the

AN examination Of the poll-books discloses
the fact that great number of dead men
were allowed to vote at tho recent city cleo
ton in st. Louis. There is disposition in
some quarters to blame the judges and other
election officials for this irregularity, but
these gentlemen should be excused on the
ground that as citizens of st. Louis they are
not familiar with the sight of real live men.
and might therefore easily overlook the fact
that few voters were entirely lifeless ~.

BIsMARCK's decree-for it practically
amounts to that-of expulsion against the
Poles means that 100000 people are to be
compelled to seek homes in some other coun-
try, if they can find power that will consent
to receive them. It were as though the entire
population of Indiana were forced to leave
their holdings and migrate from the land of
their nativity. 1t would involve old and
young alike; the aged, the decrepit, the inno-
cent-ali must 60. With no thought of quit
ting their fresides, the grip of the tyrant
fastens upon them and ban;;shment is decreed.
The day is coming when these enormities can-
not be practiced without an uprising of the
people.

claims. Congress, as now constituted, is
made up largely Of men who. at the time
General Porter's offense was committed, profit
ed by it. and appreciated the "favor.' The
war is long since passed, but the feeling of
gratitude manifested itself in the vote taken
on this question in the House yesterday. It
will be in the nature of surprise if it be
found that any ex-confederate has failed to re-
cord his vote in favor of his acquital, or
rather to restore him the honors he forfeited.
An Endorsement received under such circum-
stances may be better than none, but it will
be ons with which no high-bred gentleman
would be satisfied.

The Austrian government is in frame Of
mind because of the mysterious disappearance
OF one OF its army rifles. 1t is remarkable
that so small thing as an army rifle should
provoke the attention it has, but the explana-
ton is made that the government did not want
Its pattern to get into the possession Of any
other power Unless war be imminent, such
precaution is well-nigh useless, as in this age
OF invention it is likely that the Austrian arm
will be improved on before it comes into use.
And in the very first engagement fought it is
certain that some of them would fall into the
hands of the enemy. Six weeks later they
would be reproduced by the ten thousand.

Preventing Tornado Destruction.


To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
According to official reports OF the Signal
Service, 1874 people were killed by a tornado on
July 26, 1875. near Erie, Pa, and sixty five were
killed by another at Marshfeld, No.. April Ii.
1880. Some of the 600 tornadoes reported from
1874 to 1881, were almost as destructive.
In the bill now before the House of Represent
atives favoring the extension of the Signal
Service reports for the relief of farmers. 1t 10
proposed to forecast cold waves, rains, storms
and marked inclemencies of the weather. The
proposed system of prediction involves only the
usual methods.
Tornadoes require special attention and g
high degree of scientific accuracy for their pre-
diction.
Danger signals ought to be established at tele-
graph stations not later than April !. 1886, other
wise many lives will be unnecessarily lost.

A CoNcEITED idiot named A. z. Foster, of
Terre Haute, has written and sent to newspa-
pers throughout the State asking publication
of what he denominates an "open letter" to
Judges Gresham and Woods, Of the United
States Courts, in which he insultingly and
Extensively takes them to task for recommend
ing the confirmation of John E. Lamb as
district attorney for the State Mr.. Foster
demands that these judges shall explain to
him why they did SO. Who this old grey
ass is that assumes such Importance we do
not know, nor does it appear who constituted
him the censor of the acts and opinions of the
federal judges. He must be nondescript
or mugwump. His impudence and assurance
are beyond calculation. He is certainly the
only man in the State who would assume so
much sef-importance, and lis assumptions Of
importance and demands for information are
only exceeded by his malice and his ignorance
Judge Woods will be astonished to find that
his name is Thomas j. and not William A., as
he has been writing it for years. It will also
be revelation to the judges to learn that
they must consult "Foster, A. n before
they write letters or deliver opinions
The administration should place Foster,
A. a., in charge of the department of Indiana
with power to declare martial law, and with
instructions to supersede the federal judges
when, in his opinion-that is Of Foster, A.
Z.-they do not coincide with his notions and
opinions in matters Of law, propriety or de-
pertinent. Mr.. Foster also takes whack at
Mr.. John G. New, Of the Journal, and by a
skillful maneuvering Of the words tells as
many lies as they can make. No judgment
was ever rendered against Messrs. New and
Wright in the case he refers to- nor is there a
motion for a new trial now pending in any
court; and the case is not now and never was
in the federal court; nor has Mr.. New per-
sonal interest in any case pending in the court
to which Mr.. Lamb seeks confirmation as an
officer or attorney Mr.. Foster probably sought
a new device to advertise his virtues or his
wares; but if they be as fimsy and rotten as
his statements, they would be dear as a gift.
If Mr.. Foster is specimen of the character
for truth and veracity of those making charges
against Mr.. Lamb, their statements are emit
tied to little weight, and his reputation how
ever bad, will stand far above that of such as
sailants. 1t will require more skin or less ears
to conceal the character Of the animal answer
ing to the name Of A. T. Foster.

GENERAL SHERMAN, with soldierly candor,
makes the amende honorable, saying he had for
gotten writing the sentiment ascribed to him;
and now, that his attention is called to it, says
that it does not mean what he intended. This is
but reasonable. A man writing private letter,
such as that was, with no idea of it ever being
thought of again after being read, would not be
very careful in his verbal discrimination. With
wishes the letter to go on record. 1t is not to
his discredit
