Rescuing the Perishing.

70 the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
1t could have been from no other motive--cer-
tainly from no less morive-that the State
Board of Education, at it's late meeting, ordered
that graduates from the State University, of
the State Normal and of Purdue. after having
taught two years, and bringing certificate Of
scholarship, should be entitled to that highest
token of qualification. known as State certif-
cate, while the graduates from no other college
or university should be so favored. There is a
propriety in all this that those who are not
familiar with the history and standing of
these institutions will fail to see at first
The people, unaided by congressional granite or
legislative appropriations, have, in one volun-
tary association or another, while paying taxes
to keep up at great expense these State institu-
tons, founded some half dozen or more institu-
tons of learning, which have continued to grow
and to turn out upon the world the ripest and
best of scholars. while, with all the aid the pub
lie treasury can afford these institutions con-
tinue to languish, not from the lack of money,
but from the lack of students. 1t is not enough

The Lesson of the Pershing Trial.

Dlspatch.
The Pershing trial is one OF those ecclesiastical
episodes which impress that when man feels
he has call to minister the gospel he should
not consider it genuine call except he is willing
and anxious to devote his attention to it to the
absolute exclusion of all secular employments.
so soon as preacher is tempted beyond resist
ance to engage in business pursuits, that is the
time appointed for him to publicly renounce his
profession as minister. One may go into the
swim of business and do many things within its
limits or prepriety, yet which must be con-
demned if done in connection with pulpit or
pastoral duties near or remote

use of all its advantages in that respect. The
number of railroads branching out in all direc-
tons, communicating with Chicago, Detroit,
Toledo, Cleveland, Columbus. Pittsburg Cincin-
natl Louisville and st. Louis, make this epecu-
liariy desirable point for the location of mill
tary depots This is especially true of that expen
sive part of the sinews of war. denominated or
dnance supplies, stored at arsenals. The in
terror location of Indianapolis possesses the re-
quisite element OF safety; no enemy could reach
it to destroy its quota of junk and military lum-
Der, which, we are informed, was valued at more
than million dollars year ago. True it
is that the arsenal does not seem to be of much
value to the city just now; anything in the mill
tary line is useless in piping peace times unless
dollars can be expressed therefrom.
Let the State authorities trot out the militia reg
ments every summer. and encamp them in the
fair grounds; say month for each of three or
four regiments; pay the men and officers liber-
ally. Have band; shoot (blank cartridges J
to spend shekels than would any regular regi-
ment; relatives and sweethearts would flock here
from Posey county to LaPorte.
1t is stated that few years ago. when some
patriotic Indiauians were trying to get Uncle
Sam to make them present of the arsenal and
its seventy-fye acres, an offer was made from the
city of Lafayette. to donate the same amount of
land, in desirable location, and to erect build
ings fully as good as those now here, if the
United States government would establish its
arsena. there. 1t is the things we have not that
most desire like the boy who could do with
out shoes. but was suffering for bosom pin, we
dispense with the arsenal, but must have a

healthfulness of Indianapolis as station for
troops, it has been noted in New York sanitary
journals that Indianapolis ranks high on the list
of unhealthful stations in the army; sometimes
it is at the head of the list, sometimes second,
again third.
