growing reading for rational Sunday
recreation. Newspapers thst have bad IN
fuence are only read BY people who never
pay any respect to Sunday" Rev. JAMES
FREEMAN CLARKE speaks on the subject
with his usual breadth and good sense.
He saws: II see no more harm in e good
newspaper Sunday than Monday or Tues
day. do not think that going to church
or reading the Bible is enough to occupy
the time of hsrd,working people Sunday
Thew need rest, recreation, refreshment for
body and mind" DR.. FUsNEss, of Phila-
deIphia, says: Whatever tends towards
refreshment of body and mind on the SAB
bath is in harmony with its purpose, and
adds that mo respectable newspaper can
fail to contein something which will have
the effect to enliVen the mind. DIR.
WARD, editor Of the Independent, says;
~ do not see any Gin in innocent secular
conversation on the Sabbath, and equally
not in innocent secular reading in book or
newspaper"
These opinions give an idea of what
many Of the most thoughtful ministers Of
our land think on this subject. The main
question OF issue is, is the Sunday news
paper OF itself bad or good? II it Is bad
it isn't 6t to read on any day. If tits good,
it may do good mission on Sunday as
well rs on Monday.
But may the good Sunday newspaper
not DO more good on Sunday than on any
other day since larger class Of readers
are reached and since they have more leis
ure than on other days?

A SPECIAL to the Chicago News from Wa

though he is federal officer. The account
says he believes his relationship to the Gov.

But even that much is not needed, for the

P. T. BARNUM, the great Snowman, is man

that he is total abstainer from all intoxicants
and that he has ever urged the same upon 9th.
ers. Speaking of the ''third party" movement,
he recently declared himself as follows, which is
enough to set candid men to thinking:
II have been total abstainer for thirty eight
years, have spent thousands on thousands of dol
lars for the cause on temperance lectures from
Maine to New Orleans, for which | never did nor

party outside of and clashing with national poll
tics the most absurd and suicidal plan that could
be conceived. Every such political temperance
vote helps the rum-Seller and strengthens the
political party with which m-selers and too
many deluded drinkers always vote To nv

joice over the threats OF this new hedged and

THE decision rendered yesterday by the
United States Supreme Court affecting the
reach of authority of States on interstate
commerce, written by Justice Miller, and
concurred in by all except the Chief justice
and Justice Bradley indicates chat legislation
on this point must be confined to the federal
government. This is a ruling not at all in
consonance with the idea of Statesovereignty,
but one that must commend itself to all that
the United States is essentially one govern
ment, undivided and indivisible. Legislation
affecting interstate commerce must be the
work of the general government. There is
nothing vicious in this, nothing unjust. The
law that is good for one State and locality may
be made equally good for another.

UNLESS the people elect Legislature that
will permit an examination into the Infamous
practices that have obtained in the manage
ment of the Indiana Hospital for the Insane,
it need not be expected that the outrages there
perpetrated against the patients will be given
up. The man who has made money by selling
grease butter to be fed to the insane will contn-
ue to do SO and to charge for it the full market
price asked for good butter. 1.-THE people of this
State do not care whether they are plundered
by these spectators, they should at least step
between them and the unfortunates who are
not able to take care of themselves. 1t is a
blot on the fair name of Indiana that it elected
q Legislature that that would permit such things
without interfering or allowing any one else
to 40 so.

WE entirely agree with our esteemed con-

WE entirely agree with our esteemed con-
temporary, the Sentinel, in what it says about
the county clerkshipi in the following:
"The Sentinel is satisfied that the tax
payers do not want a man in any Office vino
would take advantage of his relatives and
neighbours; who would forsake his nearest and
dearest friends to satisfy his low, mean and
grasping disposition; who would sacrifice prin-
ciple and honor for self-agrandizement. The
taxpayers do not want him"
Believing this, the Journal is satisfied that
the taxpayers of Marion county will never
elect a man clerk who sold butter-grease to
be eaten by the inmates of the Insane Asylum,
and received the price of good creamery butter,
nor man who attempted to cheat the thou
sands of small creditors of Ritzingers Bank by
trying to settle his debt at so cents on the
dollar, when he swore he was worth $780, 00
