WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Persons on the inside say that Senator Evarts' speech win strike consternation in the hearts of President Cleveland and his colleagues, and that it will be the most brilliant effort of his life; he will undertake to demonstrate the fact that the President and his Cabinet, in pursuing the course marked out by them, are liable to im- peachment by the House sf Represen- tatives. Evarts is an aspjrant for the Presidency, and it now seems probable that after the speech he will be the most prominent candidate for that position while the excitement lasts. Great inter. est is aroused in the coming effort to be made by the New York Senator, and the crowd which will be in attendance is ex. pected to be very great. Aside from be. ing one of the finest orators of the day, Evarts is one of the best informed mem. bers of the Senate, and his speech will undoubtedly be worthy of that body.

 WASHINGTON, Jan o.-Conkling is strongly in favor of silver coinage. Sen. ator Evarts also stands firm on the same side. There is consternation in the camp of the gold bugs, and public sen'i. ment in the East is undergoing a radi- cal change on the question. The silver people have prepared petitions to Con- gress which they are scattering broad- cast over the country for signatures, praying for Congress to place coinage of silver on an equality with gold; that there be issued coin certificates of one, two and five dollars; that the same be made legal tender; that one and two dol lar legal notes be i,'ned, and that the public debt be paid as qaickly as possi- ble by applying for this purpose the idle surplus now in the treasury. These pe- titions are coming back m large num- bers and are being presented in the Senate and the House.

Mark Twain g Difficulties in Becom.
 ing a Confederate.

In his paper in the December Century, 1.-The Private History oi a Campaign that Failed" Mark Twain says:
 ''Out West there was good deal of confusion in mems minds during the first months of the great trouble--a good deal of unsettledness. of leaning first this way, then that, then the other way. It was hard for us to get our bearings. l call to mind an instance of this. was piloting on the Mississippi when the news came that South Carolina had gone out of the Union on the 10th of December, 1860. My pilot-mate was a New Yorker. He was strong for the Union; SO was l. But he would not lis- ten to me with any patience; my loyalty was smirched, to his eye, because my father had owned slaves. I said, in palliation of this dark fact, that had heard my father say, some years before he died, that slavery was 8 great wrong, and that he would free the solitary negro he then owned if he could think 1t right to give away the property of the family when he was so strengthened in means. My mate retOrted that mere impulse was nothing--anybody could pretend to good impulse; and went on decrying my Unionism and libeling my ancestry. A month later the secession atmosphere had considerably thickened on the Lower Mississippi. and became rebel; so did he. We were together in New Orleans, the 26th of January, when Louis- jana went out of the Union. He did his full share of the rebel shouting, but was bitterly opposed to letting me do mine. He said that 1 came of bad stock-of father who had been willing to set slaves free. In the following summer he was piloting Federal gun-boat and shouting for the Union again, and was in the Confederate army. I held his note for some borrowed money. He was one of the most upright men l ever knew; but he repudiated that note with. out hesitation, because was rebel, and the son of a man who owned slaves"

How She Fixed It.

The three of us had been tramping over the battlefield of Malvern Hill all day long, and as night came on there was every evidence of steady, soaking rain-storm. We had to get shelter right away, and we found it in farmhouse owned by widow. She was willing enough to furnish us supper, but when it came to lodgings she seemed greatly embarrassed
 You see," she said, "my house is very small. Indeed, have only this room, with bedroom off.
 But can't we sleep in the barnp" said the Colonel.
 '1 have no barn."
 'But you can go to bed and let us sleep on the floor in this room, can't youp"
 ''Y-e-s, but-but--"
 ''Oh, you needn't have any fear of us, madam" protested the Colonel.
 ''lt isn't that, sir, but"
 She blushed like & rose, but none of us could understand until she said:
 '.Well, to tell the truth, my beau will be here tonight"
 "ln this stOrmp" 70, yes. William would come if 1t rained pitchforks.
 "Well, we won't hurt William"
 ''No, sir, but we-that is, he will ex- pect to spark me, and-and-"
 Exactly" said the Colonel. '.I see the situation. You don't want to disap- point WilliamP"
 '.No, sir; and I don't want to turn you gentlemen out either. You see, sir, it's probably my only chance to get married and it won't do to offend William. This is his sparkling night and he's got to come five miles.
 ''Well, we won't stand in his way; we will hunt some other place."
 ''No, sir, you shall stay; but you see how it is. think can fix it I'll take this room and you three can have the bedroom"
 What! Deprive you of sleepp"
 "Oh, no, sir. William and always spark till daylight. If you would only fix it that way. sir"
 We did. After supper we locked our selves into the bedroom, and taking the pillows from the bed laid down on the floor and slept like bricks until call ed to breakfast. When we went out the Colonel asked:
 Well, did William show upp"
 "Y-yes, sir" she stammered, land he asked me to m-marry him! If we hadn't fixed things maybe he'd have waited a whole year longer. B-breakfast is ready and I'll never forget your kindness to a poor widow!"--Detrot Free Press.

THE Nogales Frontier, in writing of the Stars apologetic article on General Crook, says: "If the Star repre-. sents the sentiments of the people of Tucson (and it certainly does not represent those of the people any other where), the lons-suff ring settlers of this Territory will soon come to regard that place as on par with the hellish hatch. cry known as the San Carlos reserva. tion." Had the editor of the Frontier resided little longer in Arizona, he would know that the editor of the Star expresses nobody's opinions, on any sub. jec,, except his own.

Irish AHnIra.

LONDON, Jan. 9.-It is learned, on trustworthy authority, that Lord Ran. dolph Churchill's scheme for Irish home rule does not include a Parliament for Ireland, but proposes to abolish the vice royalty and the whole system of castle government, substituting therefor com. plete set of administrative officers, to be elected by the people, and to hold office during fixed ,Aerms. It also proposes a loan of q 100000 on the easiest possi. ble terms as to interest and payment, to defray the cost of certain needed public works Tn Ireland. This and other schemes of modified home rule will be discussed at special council

THE complaints of bondholders tha.

THE complaints of bondholders that they are being ill-treated by the Govern. ment, in having to accept payment in silver, will not stand investigation. Many of these men bought their bonds with greenbaoks when the latter were at more than 50 per cent discount. The bonds were then payable in greenbacks. They afterwards succeeded in having them made payable m coin. Now they want payments to be made in gold. What de. mand these leeches will next make, it is not easy to say, but it is sincerely to be hoped that the friends of the people at Washington will be able to defeat the at. tempt of capitalists to enslave the wage earnsys.

THE EPITAPH has always favored civil control on the reservation, and with an active and experienced agent like Mir. Cum in charge at San Carlos, who thoroughly understands the Indians and the situation, and who we know will earnestly cooperate with the Governor, rangers, sheriffs, etc., we would have the management of the Apaches completely within our own power and permanent peace would be assured.

Cieverness in Girls,

should say, observes a writer in AW the Year Round, that to young girls gen. erally-to clever young girls certainly cleverness seems to be an unmixed ad- vantage. How delightful to a clever girl of l5 or 16, who then perhaps enters upon regular school work for the first time--how delightful it is for her to find herself at the gates of new world of thought, to feel the thrill of proud eXultatiOn which runs through her as she gazes at it, and exclaims with pardonable enthusiasm, "l can, at least, oe monarch of all I surveyr' How pleasant to see the qualification with which her masters gradually discover that one eager mind is drinking in all they say, and what trouble they will take to answer and even to anticipate her difficulties! How pleasant, again albeit somewhat dangcrous-to receive the respect and admiration which her schoolfellows will lavish upon her, so long, at least, as she is sweet-tempered as well as clever-to respond to the many demands made upon her for "Just one thought, dear, to put into my essay on 'Procrastination'; I've put in all the dictionary says, but that only fills up half my paper!" hear the in variable, 70, Ida will tell you that-she knows everything!" And then at the prize giving, how stimulating is the sense, not only that she is the observed of all observers, but that she is receiving the reward of work well and earnestly done as she bears away prize after prize only tempered by the regretful wish that poor Melissa. who is so sweet, but any, thing rather than clever--and other kindred spirits-could have had some thing more to rejoice In than the suc- cess ot their friend!

THE CIyIL-sERvICE LAW.

The House Appropriations Committee Tries
to Impair It's Usefulness.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON May 20-The attempt of the
House committee on appropriations to add
rider on their bill in regard to payment Of sal
aries of the Civilservice Commissioners, it is
thought. will not avail much. The rider is in
the shape of new legislation, and under the new
rules is not admissible on an appropriation bill.
Besides as it is thought to be an attack on civil
service reform, it stands very little show of pas
sage. The rider proposes that no part of the ap-
preparation shall be paid until the commission
certify to the entire list of eligibles who have
passed, and also that the age limitation shall be
removed. Civil-service Commissioner Edgerton,
speaking about the rider, said tonight that
he was greatly surprised at the great
ignorance shown by large number of members
in regard to the civilservice law. "The opposi-
tion to it came from the failure to receive an ap-
pointment for some friend or cons situent. whose
appointment would be disgrace to the govern
ment" said he. 'They will not be reasonable
and listen to the right of the question, but oppose
tie law because they do not get what they wish
A cure for this would be to have the papers. let
ters, etc, of their friend or candidate for exam
ination photographed and shown as a subject
did not make the members ashamed. shall be
greatly mistaken. The certifying of all the
names of all those who passed as eligible for ap-
pointment is contrary to all rules and laws of
competitive examination" Mr. Edgerton does
not think the rider will pass.

SAN Francisco, May 20.-A dispatch from
Mcgales. A. t., says: 1.-TWO sons Of Captain
Audrade, while on the way to their home at
Aqua Ranch. were murdered yesterday By In
aians, seven miles south of here The horses,
with bloody saddles ran into Blanch Platte this
morning. Captain Lawton is in close pursuit of
the Indians, who have a number of wounded in
the Hua Coma mountains and it is expected that
Lawton will overtake them there"
Frederick Luttrel was killed by Indians yes
terday on ranch short distance from Tomb
Etone. A Mexican from the MILESTONE mount
aims has notified the sheriff that the Apaches
killed three Mexicans this morning
The number of persons murdered by Apa ches
within gunshot of Nogales, A. IT,, during the
past four weeks now numbers forty two The
lize Of raiding bands and their boldness leave no
doubt that they have been recruited from the
discharged scouts. There are wel-founded reports
Of further departures from the San Carlos
reservation and old settlers believe that If this
outbreak is not quelled within thirty days Ari
zona will witness this summer some of the
bloodiest depredations by Apaches ever known.
There Is q strong feeling that the government
should let frontiersmen show what they can do
by organizing body of volunteers.
