THE great picture sale at New York closed
on Friday night two hundred and forty pict-
ures bringing the enormous total of 1886, 900,
an average of So, 270. The average ON Friday
nights sales was over $4,000, eighty canvases
bringing $467, 925, nearly half million. It
was expected that the painting bringing the
highest price would be Viberts "Missionary's
Story" which sold for $25, 500; but this did
not prove true--Jules Bretons '9The First
Communion bringing $45, 800 This picture
cost its gullible owner $4,000, and it, at
least, was not bad bargain. It measured TAX
48 inches, and the sum paid for it was at the
rate of nearly $l3 per square inch of canvas.

giving for their ill-advised and hasty Ian
guage. Mr. Forbes has served for years on
the police force Of indianapolis with
credit to himself and to the city; never was
his honesty questioned, nor his manhood
doubted. He has always been a warm and
earnest Republican, working honestly and
faithfully for the best interests of the party,
commanding the complete confidence of those
with whom he was associated, and who knew
intimately the methods and purpose of his
service. He retires from the Republican
ticket in obedience to circumstances, the
force of which the Journal could but recog-
nize both before and after the convention,
and of which Mr.. Forbes is now satisfied; but
his withdrawal leaves him stronger in public
and party regard than ever before"
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1886-03-08

The nomination of Mr.. Charles j. Many as
the Republican candidate for township trus-
tee, by the central committee, is choice that
can be heartily and cheerfully commended.
The nomination came to him entirely unso
licited, and with unanimlty and enthusiasm
that give the best promise for successful
issue of his candidacy. Not the least crafty
ing feature of the nomination is the manly
and sincere manner in which Captain Forbes
conducted himself throughout the affair,
and the evident candor and earnestness
with which he gave his unqualified
Endorsement to Captain Many. Captain Many
has grown up in Indianapolis. His character
and business qualifications and experience are
known to every citizen and taxpayer. He is
prominently and personally identified with
the industrial interests of the city. He is a
working man-that is, he works with his
hands, and not exclusively with his lungs and
mouth. We are certain that his nomination
viii be received with universal favor, and will
prove to be the strongest that could have
been made in opposition to the ring
candidate of the Democratic convention, who
was nominated distinctively through the lid
Of an influence that is directly opposed % all
that is orderly and economical in goyernin 1T.
and in contemptuous defiance of the sent
mens of decency and of law and order that
vainly sought to express ITSELF
In this connection We desire to repro
auce what we said yesterday respecting the
withdrawal of Captain Forbes:
AS the Journal said, on Wednesday last.
there IS nothing affecting the integrity Of Mr.
Forbes IN the disappointment that ensued after
his nomination. The reasons for that feeling
we're entirely distinct from any fault of Mr.
Forbes; but, however ill-founded thew NAV
have been, the feeling nevertheless existed.
and must be recognized The manner in which
Mr.. Forbes has done this will win him the closer
regard OF his friends and the respect of all the
people. We know Mr.. Forbes well. He is an
honest, sincere, earnest man, and his honesty
and sincerity was never better shown than in
hisletter to the central committee. Some of the
things said about him by those who did not
know him, and who have confessed that they

IT is represented that Democratic Con-
gressmen are uneasy about the elections to be
held next fall. 1t arises from the fact that
the Democratic party is so torn up over the
chief questions of the day-on the tariff and
silver questions, and on civil-service reform,
which latter is more an aggravation than a
cause of division Of sentiment. AS usual the
party does not know its own sentiment; it has
no fixed policy, and its Western wing differs
from the Eastern, and the Southern from both.
Democracy in one part of the country aims
for unlimited silver, just as it demanded un-
limited greenbacks a few years ago. In an
other portion Of the country it is for gold
standard, while Southern Democracy has not
shown its desires on this point. As to the
tariff, Democracy is as spotted as leopard.
In Pennsylvania it demands high tariff; in
Kentucky, no tariff in the South generally it
is free trade, but is solicitous about the du-
ties on sugar and rice. Approaching
Democracy is like the blind men
approached an elephant. One declared it was
like rope; he felt its tail. To another it
was like wall; he explored its massive
TANKS. The third regarded it as a monster
serpent, for he grasped its prehensile trunk.
Democracy is for free coinage or for a gold
standard, owing to where you meet it; for pro-
lection or free trade according to geographical
location. Hence it has no settled policy, and
deserves no support.

bic men have lost their places through some
misconduct when, in point Of fact their
record is absolutely without flaw. When
this feature Of the Presidents official career
is contemplated it can but be admitted that
he has acted in cowardly and dishonorable
manner, to the scandal and shame of the
high Office he occupies. Thus, while he alien
ates friends, he does not make Roadway with
his political opposers. It is already evident
that unless marked change is made in his
official conduct, he will leave the presidency
apolitical pariah, unable to find friends and
defenders in any direction.

NEW YORK physicians. who have interes ted
themselves in the orphan asylums of that city,
report an alarming prevalence OF contagious
ophthalmia half the children in some institutions
suffering from the disease a remarkable feat
ure of the malady is that, in many cases ex-
amined. neither the children nor their teachers
knew that their eyes were affected. The doctors
explain this, by the statement that the disease
first manifests itself in graduation of the inner
eyelid. and may cause no inconvenience for
months or even years. cold or other irritating
cause may. however, develop the trouble at any
time, and cause total or partial loss of sight.
An effort will be made to have diseases of the
eye placed within the scope of the law relating
to such contagious diseases as fevers and
measles, and then to isolate the sufferers.
