The Earl of Aberdeen, although COM
paratively Young man, having been
born In 1847. possesses many qualities
which fitted him for the position which
he had to resign when the Gladstone
Ministry resigned. He Ia close per
son Al friend of Gladstone, and knows as
much of his purposes as any other OF his
followers.
he held the cffi,e Of VicarOy about five
months. He took serious view of his
duties during that time, and won the
good will Of many Of the people, and
when he left it was with SORROW. He
YVES much feted and to the last the peo-
ple made much of him.
The Earl was five years in succession
Her Majesty's Lord High Commissioner
to the Church of Scotland, and for q fort
night in each wear took up his residence
at Hollywood Palace, presided over the
General Assembly, held levees, and with
Lady Aberdeen's grace ul and gracious
support, gave great entertainments and
held drawing rooms more numerous, Il
Ia said, than those of Buckingham Pal
ace. 1t was thought In Edinburgh tina
all these ceremODies-and there wert
many Others-had never been performed
with more Significance than by the Aber
deems. That no Lord High Commits
sioner and coDsOrt had ever been NOR
popular was agreed on all hands.

MASKED ROBBERS.
They CoOlly Go Through the House Of
Holmes County Farmer.

They COolIy Go Through the House of a
Holmes County Farmer.
MILLERsBURG, O., August 16.-A very
daring robbery was committed In Ripley
township last night about 8 o'clock, the
Victim being Robert Post, a wealthy
farmer. Mr.. Post, his wife, and daught-
or were lifting reading, when suddenly
there arresred at the door five masked
men, ty lf whom took charge OF the
women while the other three tied Mr.
Post anu then riff d his pockets, getting
800. They advised the family to keep
quiet with the usual threats. They de
msnded the key 10 the bureau, and secur-
ing 1t they found $500 more. They then
said to Pos that he had drawn $500
from the bank at Millersburg recently
and demanded to know where 1t was.
Post entered denial, and to convince
them he showed them the certificate of
deposit, which they did not take. They
then deliberately went to table in the
room and divided the money and then
left, the whole time of the transaction
being less than a half hour. Mr.. Post
has no opinion as to their Identity as
they we're heavily masked.

Vacation rorahe PolIcc mer.

At the next council meeting the
policemen will present petition pray
ing for the allowance OF an annual vaca.
tiOn of one week for each member of the
force. They back their request with the
statement that other public servants are
similarly treated, such as mall carriers,
who are granted a three weeks vaca-
tion each year. When 1t Is considered
that policemen are on duty twelve hours
each day for the full quota Of days In
the year their prayer does not seem un.
reasonable.

passed by the village council Of ALI
ance, Is being argued this afternoon be-
fore Judge Dsy In Common Pleas Court

will greatly depreciste the value Of hia
property. He therefore filed an appli-
cation for q temporary injunction re-

RISING STATESMEN.

New& Members with Schemes for Solving
Great ProDlems-Mr. Tarsncy's Case.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.-An amusing feature
of the present Congress is the number of brill
liant statesmen that have thus far developed
themselves Scarcely a day passes that some
man, heretofore unheard of, does not introduce
bill or resolution which has for its object the
solution Of the financial problem to the entire
satisfaction of said member A glance at the
measures introduced thus far shows that the
brilliant statesmen, who were hidden from the
eyes of the coun try in some rural district until
the political change of two years ago, wore
hatched none too soon. Ten or fifteen Of these
new men have already proven that they were
loaded with brilliant ideas which would certainly
have carried them off prematurely had they not
been sent to Congress, where they have had an
opportunity to develope them to some extent.
'Tim" Tarsney. of Michigan, is a case in
cessful fireman on tugboat. and has been re-
garded bright lawyer of local repute for some
years past. Two years ago he ran against Roswell
Horr, aud, as Horr was looking after other
mems interests, Tarsney defeated him. Tars-
ney has introduced resolution calling upon the
Secretary of the Treasury to inform the House
just exactly the status of the surplus of which
we heard much last fall, and he proposes to
follow this resolution with bill which will wipe
out this surplus peremptorily as soon as an
swer is received.

; ARREARS OF PENSION.

General Brownies Effort To Secure Repeal of
the Limitation Clause.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2L-General Browne, Of
Indiana, has made gallant fight in the House,
during the past two days, for repeal of the limi
tation of the arrears of pension act. He offered
an amendment to this effect yesterday, while the
Matson bill, which increases the pension of SOL
diers' widows from SO to $l2 a month, was under
discussion, and he has since combatted all op-
ponents to it
To-day, Mr.. Rogers, of Arkansas, made a
point of order against General Brownies amend
ment He held that there were before the
House, or in committee, bills which had the same
object In view as the amendment, and that there
fore it was in conflict and could not be accepted.
1t took General Browne but a few minutes to
demonstrate to the best lawyers Of the House
that Mr.. Rogers was wrong, but, before vote
could be reached, the House adjourned over till
tomorrow. 1t is generally believed tonight,
and this belief is shared by General Browne.
that the amendment will be adopted. if it is not
ruled out on Mr.. Rogers's point of order.
There have been several bills introduced to re-
peal the limitation of arrearages of pensions, but
not none touch the vital point so well as Gen.
Brownies, and it is not likely that any Of them
can be brought before the House for considera-
ton, even if they should be reported from COM
mittee. This has been the experience in the
last Congress. The Democrats have made q
point of order against this amendment on purely
technical grounds, and for the sole purpose of
defeating the object of it, because they ordi-
narily have not the courage to vote fairly and
squarely against bill to repeal the Limitation
of arrearages of PENSIONS but will stab it in the
back. browbeat it. and finally, if the worst come
to the worst vote against liz.
