THE Office Of township trustee is one in
which integrity, business experience and abil-
ity, good accounting skill, and practical
knowledge of men and work are particularly
needed. The people of Center township never
had better qualified man for the place offered
for their suffrages than Charles J. Many, the
Republican candidate. This is the universal
testimony of all who know him, whether po-
litically favorable to him or not. He is a
man who should be elected by so decided a
vote that emphasis will be given to the de-
n1and that in nominations for Office the candi-
date shall fit the place.

the subject of dispute. ]. F. Sutton, who bid
it in swants it distinctly understood that it was
bought for Mr. ". T. Walters, of Baltimore,
who had instructed him to secure it at any price
Mr.. Walters being interviewed, says: ''The idea
that should pay $ls. 900 for the vase is ridicu-
lous. neither bought it myself nor did any one
else buy it for me; nor did l buy it for any one

more sense than the public thought. Another
account says that 1t was bought by the Art So

WASHINGTON, March l2-There is but one
honest and candidly expressed opinion here about
the discussion pending in the Senate over the diff
ference between the majority OF that body and
the President, regarding the latter's refusal to
furnish information of apublic nature concerning
the removal of efficient and honest Republican
officials, and that is that the position assumed
by the majority of the Senate is unimpeachabls.
People throughout the country would be surprised
If they could know just how many Democratic
Senators and Representatives say, in private.
that the President has made mistake, and that
he cannot occupy the ground he has taken very
long without ridicule. The most serious aspect
in which the situation is viewed Is that Of the
inclination of the President to drift away from
the people. and to become imperious, mysterious
and naughty.
The members of the Democratic party who
are farseeing readily discern that IT will not do
to indorse move that proposes exaltation Of the

The New York Advocate, in an editoria

The New York Advocate, in an editorial
article upon the labor disturbances, says:
1--WE regard the elements at work in the
United States to-day as more fraught with
perils to our institutions than all the merely
political and personal discussions conflicts
and agitations which eliminated in the late
war; For that divided the country into two
general contending factions, of which those
desiring the maintenance of the Unien were
the more numerous, more fortunately stu
ated, end the stronger. But these proceed
ings, unchecked, must surely, in the end,
compel radical change in the methods of
preserving ORDER and when that change has
occurred, and the military spirit shall have
crystallized, whether the mind that controls
it be called Governor, President, King, Caesar
or Gar, matters not AS yet, who sees any
light on the horizon? What practicable meth
cd promising better relations is suggested.
Owe are not frightened, for that is not our
besetting sin; but in the darkest hours Of the
civil war we never felt more sober than to-
day, as we contemplate the future of what
our gifted countrywoman. Mrs. Kemble, calls
this great new world of Christian liberty

THE BULL-RUN PANORAMA.

Exciting Scenes Between Ex-Federals and
Ex-Confederates Who View the Painting.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-Some very stormy
scenes are reported to have taken place at the
panorama OF the second battle of Bull Rum or
the battle of Manassas, recently constructed
here. The men who fought for the Confederacy
and those who struggled for the Union on that
memorable field get together here very often and
have friendly chats and pass mutual criticisms,
but few times they have grown excited and hot
words have passed between them. These con-
tention3 have almost invariably grown out Of q
dispute as to which side deserved the most credit
in the fight
Here, more than at any other point In the
country perhaps, do the ex-confederates aud ex-
federals meet in about equal numbers Mary
land and the Virginias and the contiguous Caro-
linas that turned out so many men in the South
ern army, now food Washington with those who
fought under the stars and bars In social in

standing beside man with but one arm or leg
who fought for the preservation Of the Union,
and together they recount their struggles and
point out on the vast canvas, which looks SO
nearly like the natural landscape that one loses
the beginning of the illusion and the ending OF
the real, the courses they followed on that
bloody field.
The other day two Of these manned soldiers who
fought at Manassas in opposing armies were
moving around the railing on the lookout inside
of the panorama, pointing to the different divis-
ions and naming them and their officers as each
came in view, when fence was encountered.
The natural and actual rails were laid on the
solid ground before them, and extending down
to the canvass were joined to the painting so per-
fectly that the real and artificial could not be
distinguished. one from the other just over
the fence, which divided the two armies, and
not, seemingly, more than ten rods distant from
the federals, who were in terrific conflict with
another wing OF the confederate army. sat upon

FREE TRADE papers are circulating the report
that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rail
way Company have sent to England for $1,000
tons of steel rails, and they proceed to de-
nounce the tariff. At the present juncture,
with tens of thousands of laborers out on
strikes, it might be well for free trade papers
to advocate that the tariff on rails be taken of,
so all the rails used in this country could be
bought in England. 1t would help swell the
crowd of disconnected workingmen and add to
the interest in the outcome of the agitation.

yard is the best evidence of the trucking that
has been there to the spirit of the confederate
F. F. VS.. It is utterly unworthy an officer
of the United States navy, even were it's al

as follows:
''On the pumping engine which is located
in brick building some $50 feet distant
from the dry dock, plate containing the in
scription, Built by Messrs Woodruff &
Beach, machinists and engineers, Hartford,
Conn.,, was removed and in its place another
was substituted inscribed thereon, De-
stroyed by the rebels in 1862. Rebuilt by

w. Livingston, commandant; w. Ell. Lyons,
superintendent of machinery searched the
records of this office in vain for the authority
for the removal of the original plate and the
substitution Of the other, and could not find
that the change was made by any authority
whatever. l therefore had it removed"
The searching of the records shows the
spirit Of Commodore Truxton. What was the
necessity for searching the records for the
authority for the existence Of the plate. unless
the inscription was obnoxious and its removal
desiredP That was the reason why the rec
