Effective Work of Judge Hughes in the Sup

Effective Work of Judge Hughes in the Sup
preston of Lottery Schemes.
Special to the Indiana polls Journal.
NATION, Dec. 22.-The pernicious gift enter
prise schemes have entirely disappeared from
Coles. Macon, Moultrie, Edgar, Douglas and
other counties composing the Sixth judicial cir
cult of Illinois. This action has been brought
about principally by the stand taken by Judge
James f. Hughes of this city, who, year ago,
at Charleston, gave the grand jury special in
structions to investigate all lottery gift enter
prize schemes operated separately or in connec-
ton with legitimate business. the tempting
prizes offered by numerous merchants, to be dis
trbuted by grand drawings or otherwise had
q strong tendency to cultivate the
habit of gambling and the grand jury
found bills against violators. Because
among merchants, the judge and juries assessed
q nominal fine Oh those convicted, and the result
has been that the lottery schemes. both great and
small, have been entirely abandoned.
A month ago, when Judge Hughes opened
court in Decatur, there were about twenty lot
terry advertising schemes being worked by Ma
con county merchants, but they were promptly
dropped when the strict charge of the judge to
the grand jury was made public In Moultr;s
county Judge Hughess charge to the grand jury
had the same effect and IL Is safe to say that
merchants will adhere strictly to legitimate ad-
vertising and business methods in the future.
Judge Hughes had near 5000 majority when
elected. two years ago, and his action against
gam bers, lotteries and all violators is cordially
approved by all law abiding citizens.

Peculiar Case of Illness.

Speclai TO the 1nuianADoLb JOurnai
WABASH, Dec. 22-Two weeks ago John
Lynn, a prominent young farmer, residing four
miles southeast of this city. observed that his
arms face and neck had begun to swell. The
Inflammation was accompanied by high
fever, and progressed so rapidly
that within twenty-four hours he
hardly recognizable. Soon after his wife
and child were similarly attacked and local
physician, DR.. Dunn. summoned. The
Doctor was unable to diagnose the cases, as
all three of the patients were apparently In
excellent health otherwise. Treatment seemed
to be without avail, and the disease having run
it's course, Mr. and Mrs. Lynn are recovering
The only explanation Of this peculiar visitation
offered by DR.. Dunn, and indorsed by Mr.
Lynn is that the illness resulted from
inhaliug the poisonous gases from the burning
of number of hogs which died of cholera, the
animals having been cremated near the house
The fact that Mr.. Lynn, who superintendent the
incarceration, suffered most severely, lends color
to this theory.

Insanity Caused by Religious Excitement.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
COLUMBUS, Dec. 22.-Brison Armstrong, of
this county. was yesterday sent to the Insane
Asylum. His trouble is caused by religious ex-
element. The other day he attempted to offer
up his little children as a sacrifice, but was
prevented. He imagines that he is
Christ, and that his mission on earth is to har
monize the churches and bring about an era of
peace and good will. On the way to the asylum
he politely informed the conductor that he
would dispense with the latter's services, as he
iChrst) had run the world for 1886 years and
would be able to run that train without con-
ductor
Mrs Laura Robinson. an old lady between
sixty and seventy years of age, was also sent to
the asylum day. her insanity being from the
same cause, religious excitement.

Saturday, February 10, 1886.

THE American is the person whose
allegiance is to this county and not
to another, whether born in Kentucky,
Vermont, Ireland or Austria. The
land Of this country aught to he own
ed by the Americans. Alien owner
ship is already an evil of considerable
proportions and il must be prohibited
promptly, before its evils grow more
extended and serious. The new issue
of the North American Review has
some rather startling figure ON this sub
ject, and the Chicago Tribune, which
has Of late been making valiant as
saults upon the alien ownership Of
large aud choice tracts in Illinois,
adds to these figures. Mr.. Desmond's
review article shows that twenty-nine
aliens now own 20,647, 900 acres of
land, principally in the states of Kan
sas, Wisconsin, Florida, Colorado,
Mississippi, and in the territories of
New Mexico and Wyoming, and the
iiipuhS ANUS that WtIe tHt posses-
sions of Scully, Moreton, Frewen, j.
w. Barclay, and other Irish, English,
and Scotch owners included i'm the
computation of Mr.. Desmond the total
would come much nearer 10000, 900
acres, equal in extent to the state of
Ohio. Some of these alien owners
have acquired bad reputation at
their own home. The Duke Of Suther-
land, who owns 49,, 900 acres of Amer
lean land, is a notorious scotch evjcter.
He almost "clerred" whole shire
(Sutherland) in Scotland in order 10
turn his estate into grouse moors and
deer forests. His countryman, the
Marquis Of Tweeddale, has possessed
himself Of 1905 900 acres of American
land; Holland company owns $780,
900 acres in New Mexico. including a
portion Of TIE celebrated Maxwell
land grant; an English syndicate owns
5000, 900 acres Ia Texas, and another
1000, 600 acres in Florida, and third
GO, 600 acresin Wisconsin. Mr.. Desmond
obtained his figures from the Con-
gressionsl Record. So far as they go
they are perhaps correct, but they do
not give an adequate idea of the extent
of the alien land.holding evil. No ac-
count is taken of the large pieces of
territory which have been gobbled up
by lords and syndicates since the sum-
mer Of 1854. As the Tribune calls to |
mind, both political parties, in their
platforms of 1884, pledged themselves
to support bill prohibiting the ac-
QUESTION and holding Of landed prop
erty in the United States by aliens,
ana Mr.. Blaine In his letter of accept
ance endorsed the resolution of the
Republican convention. Two bills
have been introduced in this session
having this object in view. There
should be no further time lost in get
ting such measure on the statute
book. There is no intolerance or mar
rowness in the proposition to prevent
foreign acquisition of our soil.-Min-
neapolis Tribune.

To HAVE a husband killed in battle
seems to have surprising tendency
to prolong woman's life. According
to the report Of the commissioners Of
pensions there were on the rolls, al
the close Of the last fiscal year, the
names of 2,945 survivors of the war OF
1872 and II, liz widows of those who
served in the war. Over seventeen
thousand widows of men who served
in war which closed more than sew
enty years ago! Surely there is room
here for something in the nature of an
Investigation?

A regular system OF fencing practice

present day among Russians generally,
although they have their schools, or z M
nasia, which exercise the young mind
almost to imbecility, there is not yet the
faintest notion of the necessity Of any

felt. Indeed, one OF their own country

CIVILIZATION is failure after all.
The Hindoos are talking of rioting as

of such cheap goods that when the

Members of congress, journalists, and
professional men OF Oregon are about to
petition the president TO set apart Crater
lake as public domain. The surface Of
the lake is $500 feet above sea level, and
II is about eight miles long and six miles
wide. II contains a circular island 800
feet high, on which is found an extinct
crater which is 10 feet deep and 40 feet in
diameter.
In another portion Of the lake is-found
a conical-shaped rock, which is perpcn-
dicular, and rises to an altitude Of 600
feet above the waters surface. Other
rocks Of remarkable form ana elevation
tower hi',h above the lake The lake walls
are nearly perpendicular, and vary in alti-
tude from 1000 to 1000 feet. Adjoining
the lake and guarding its approaches, the
mountains are rugged and of great alti-
tides-one summit being $3.50 feet above
sea level.-Chicago Herald.

A stream OF Lava In Hawaii.

An advancing lava flow makes a consid-
siderable ado rs il goes on-especially IL
It's line Of advance is through jungle OF
forest. The noise accompanying its move
ment, under these circumstances, resem.
bles the roar Of the battlefield. The ears
OF the person who visits the scene are
greeted by the cracking Of BLAZING
foliage, the Kissing Of hot air and steam
the falling Of trees, and the bursting OF
bombs, all comningled in one tumult.
Traversing a lava stream while il Is yet
running, may be compared TO traversine
a river in winter by walking on the ice.
A pair of thick shoes and stockings il
needed TO protect the feet from the heat,
as on the lee TO protect them from the
cold. Vent holes, too, will be ever and
anon encountered in the solid crust
covering the liquid stream, down which
the spectator can look and behold the fiery
river below, and fire falls, which are usu.
ally without any covering of solid lava
over them, just as water falls in winter,
be the weather never so cold or without
any covering Of ice.-Overland Monthly.

Partisan Parsoua.

Rev. DIR. Edward McGlynn, pastor OF
St. Stephens Roman Catholic Church,
New York. who took so active part IN
behalf of Henry George, the anarchist
candidate for Mayor, has been summoned
to Rome by the Pope to explain certain
utterances and acts of his during the late
mayoralty campaign, touching the right
and ownership Of land, and other commu-
nistic sentiments not approved by his su-
periors in the church. Now let the Rey
DIR. Kreamer, of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, who took a similar part and was
associated with DIR. McGlynn in that cam
paign, be disciplined by the proper au-
thorities also. The Rev. Drs. McGlynn
and Kreamer have both been guilty
of the same unclerical, dangerous and dis
turbing conduct, and their example, If al
lowed to pass unrebuked, will exert most
pernicious influence. A partisan priest
hood is a thing to be condemned by all
right-thinking people. A Baptist clergy
man was also associated with these gentle
men in the same communistic crusade.
Neither of this precious trio should go I'M
whipt of justice Their conduct is danger
GUS and revolutionary, calculated to upturn
the very foundations of society.
