Charges Against a Police Captain.

Special to the indianapolis journal.
BLOOMINGTON, Jan. Capt A. H. Cook, in
charge of the night police OF the city, is under
investigation with closed doors to-day. He is
the subject of six serious charges, outlined as
follows:
First-Giving to gamblers poker chips taken
from gamblers by the police.
Second-Using improper language regarding
aldermen in reference to the latter's official
actions.
Third-Attempting to coerce female prisoners
to his desires.
Fourth-Being in houses of prostitution un-

frai inmates.
Fifth-Returning to gamblers money deposited

The feud between the captain and his men is no
new affair. In fact, the greatest discord has pre-
vailed between them for months.

IMPUDENr, AT LEAST.

The Turner's who are holding their
annual convention in Boston, have
adopted, by vote of 81 to 80, a propo-
sition TO recommend the abolition Of the
Presidency and Senate of the United
States. Doubtless the sixty-four who
voted for abolition think there should
be neither President nor Senate, and as
a consequence they will hold them
selves aggrieved when nobody pays any
more attention to them and their propc-
sition than TO laugh at both. But wont
it strike people as somewhat impudent,
to say the least, that these German.
should make the cheeky demand?
Americans submit TO this sort of thing
because il is harmless, and the men who
do it are little else than cranks; but all
the same it is impudent, and is an evil
dence that the great freedom of express
sion and action permitted does not al
ways inspire in the people proper re-
spect for the government; indeed, it is
not clear that it does not inspire
q degree Of contempt for the sys-
TEN Of government, and causes
people to look upon the Republic
as an inefficient, unstable sort of
an affair that can be changed or trifled
with at pleasure. The Presidency and
Senate may occasionally be occupied
by unworthy men, but how the offices
could be abolished without providing
something a good deal worse only the |
Turner's know. Perhaps our German
friends are simply Anarchists sailing
under false colors, in which event they |
are unable to understand why there
should be any semblAnce of govern
ment.

REPEATING HISTORY.

Utah TO day is suffering in con-
sequence of the misrepresentation OF
the sentiments and actions OF her
people. Those who have been sent
among US to dminister the laws. have
considered it to their interest to advo.
cate the continuance OF Territorial vas
salage for Utah, well knowing that If
the people of this Territory had the
power to elect their own officers they
would not be thought of in connection
with the positions they now OCCUPY.
And the general government is making
the same blunder that Great Britain
made over hundred years ago. when
the American colonies were pleading
for an acknowledgement of their rights:
and which she has repeated in her deal
ings with Ireland. The blunder re-
ferred to is this: Great Britain ap-
pointed for the imperial positions in
her colonies, such men as would be
jealous for The maintenance of
the royal prerogadves, and this
very fact made them not IN
frequently the enemies of the people;
as the maintenance OF the prerogatives
said OF right to belong TO the king led
to the oppression of the people. These
officers OF the king watched with sus-
picion the every act of the people; the
people had little or no confidence in the
ministers of the crown. Dislike was en-
gendered; hatred soon followed. The
people said the kings ministers were
tyrants; the ministers reported the
people to be rebels, unfit to be trusted
with the affairs of government, as they
we're strangers to every sentiment of
loyalty aud patriotism, and who couli
only be controlled by the strong arm
Of the imperial power. When govern
nent desired information about the

applied to her own appointed Cover
lors, and persistently closed her
ars to the petitions. memorials and
prayers of her colonists. Down TO the |
