General sheridan,s Renort,

A grand total of 26, ,066 commissioned
officers and enlisted men is certainly
not formidable showing for n country
with 50, 1000, 900 inhabitants. Should an
emergency arise we would once more
find the advantage of n corps of we'll
instructed officers, now numbering
., ,102, large in proportion to the strength
of our regular army. General Sher-
idan's report is mostly devoted to recon-
mendations regarding Improvements
in some details of service, the campaign
against the Montana Indians being the
only military operation referred to of
interest to the general public.
General Sherdan's proposition to
"indelibly mark with India ink' men
apprehended for deserting from the
United States Army is shocking and
barbar0us one. 1t is the sentiment of
modern civilization, as well of Christ
ian charity, that no human being should
be put beyond the chance of self-re-
demption. and that while there is life
there is hope of reformation for the
reprobate. Deserti0n in time of peace
is not an offense Of extreme infamy or
without palliation; nor does it inflict
up'll UllC LCUhIC uIIN HCl'uS INJURY 40 IL
does during actual war. It is true that
the percentage of desertions from our
regular army has been large, but it is
also true that care for the comfort and
reasonable respect for the personal pride
of enlisted men are the best means OF
decreasing it. General Phil Sheridan
has the reputation of u large-hearted
man, and it is regrettable that he should
diminish it by so needless and cruel q
suggestion.
IL has been claimed by some high mill
tary authorities, and denied by others
that a disposition inclining to cruelty
and callousness to the sufferings of 9th
ers is an essential characteristic Of grea
military commanders. We prefer tc
believe that
''The brayest are the gentlest,
The noble ure the daring,'
and that, on reflection, our principa
officer in active service will regret hi
hasty thought of branding erring mel
like beasts.-N Y. Star.

Bismarck as a Hero.

While he was serving in the Uhlan
cavalry, in 1842, his groom, who was
the son of forester on his estate, rode
into the lake to give the horse bath.
Missing his footing, the rider was
thrown, and disappeared in the water
Bismarck was standing with n group of
officers on the bridge and saw his sink
ing groom. In an instant his sword
and uniform were on the ground, and
he leaped into the lake. He found the
struggling man, and seized HIM. But
in the blind agony of drowning man
he clung so tight to his master that Bis
marck, helpless, was obliged to dive
with his burden to loosen the hold. 1t
seemed both were lost, but soon after
bubbles rose to the surface, followed by
Bismarck, who in the depths had de-
tached the grip of the man and now APP
peared, dragging his groom with him,
and swan to the shore. The inanimate
form was restored to life, and the fol-
lowing day to duty. For this act he re-
ceived the Prussian medal for "rescue
from peril" which was his first decora-
ton, and he proudly wore it when he
had no other. Nor has he since ahan-
doned it, for it finds its place still
amidst the highest orders which Euro
pean monarchs have since showered
upon his breast. His friends are fond
of telling his answer to much deco
rated diplomatist who, seeing this lone
ly medal on his young colleagues coat,
inquired what decoration it was. Herr
Won Bismarck. who, at that time, had
no title and had earned no courtly deco
ration, looked him hard in the eye and
said: Il am in the habit sometimes of
saving q mans life. John 4. KGSSOn,

One of those smart Alexanders who

public to change 800 bills for glass of
soda or four tobies got on u Penn
avenue car the other day and rendered
the aforesaid 500 for his fare. Of
course the conductor could not change
it, and so he got his ride free. This
was repeated until the conductor got
tired of it, and after the fourth Or fifth
time of its repetition he determined to
get even with the fellow. By visiting
the toll-houses, and by other means un-
known, the manipulation of the bell
punch managed to scrape up 1885 in
pennies.
Placing these in 4 little bucket he
quietly awaited the appearance of his
victim, having posted the driver and
some other intimate friends who hap
pened to be on board. When the un-
suspecting young man with the plethoric
pocketbook put in an appearance and
promptly produced the "20" with many
apologies the conductor pocketed the
bill and produced his little bucket, and
amid the grins of the spectators pre-
sented it to his customer. The young
man looked pretty cheap, and, after
feeling the heft of the bucket, thought.
fully got off the car and disappeared
around a corner. Then the conductor
took the bill from his pocket and pro
ceeded to fold it up nicely, so that il
would fit into a convenient corner of his
pocketbook. Something in the appear

crease in the Business of indianapolis.

Yesterday afternoon Journal reporter, meet
ing William Wesley Woollen, manager of the
the Indianapolis clearing house, inquired as to
the outlook. ~ think an examination of the
clearances for the past four years will answer
that question. Take the week in October, 1888,
corresponding with the week just closed The
clearances of that week were ST, 6l5, 91O "a; for
the same week in 1884. 81, 800 394 26; for the
same week in 1885, 1870, O740 CO. The week Just
closed figures up $2,976, 100. 96, an increase
over the corresponding week of 1885 of 81. $685.
04687 The clearances yesterday amounted to
$57l 1928, which will probably make this week
figure up moro than $4,000, 900. Our clearances
now considerably exceed those of Cleveland a
city more than two and half times as large as
Indianapolis. There has been steady swelling
in the clearances this fall. Everybody is doing
more business and feeling better Meridian
street never had tho business it now has. and
grain men are doing more. While there has
been nothing Ike boom, there has been great

PREFERRED DEATH TO PRISON LIFE.
Negro Convicted of Murder Cuts His Throat
While En- Route to the Penitentiary.

Nearly two years ago, William Harris, col
ored murdered in cold blood Miss Jane Mitch
ell yourg colored woman living at Thorntown.
His trial Sas delayed from one court session to
another, out his case finally had a hearing last
term. and after long and exciting trial he was
sentenced to Imprisonment in the penirentiary
for life. Yesterday morning Sheriff Cobb, of
Boone county, arrived in this city with the pris
oner, and took the IL o'clock train on the Air
line for Michigan City. The prisoner was Sc
curely handcufed.
After the train had pulled out from Broad Rip
pie, the prisoner manifested desire to visit the
closet, and the sheriff accompanied him to the
door. Several minutes elapsed and the prisoner
did not come out. The sheriff opened the door
to see what the trouble was, and discovered
Harris lying on the floor with his throat cut,
and blood stained knife grasped in both hands.
He had cut cash across his neck
that had completely severed the windpipe.
and was aimostdea The train by this time had
reached Carmel, where it halted until DR.. j. T.
McShane was summoned. who dressed the wound
as best he could under the circumstances, and,
after he was through, the prisoner was able to
speak in a whisper and requested that no efforts
should be made to save his life. as he would
rather die than 60 to the prison. The Doctor
thought that the wound would prove fatal, and
did not believe that the prisoner could live until
he reached the prison
Sheriff Cobb is unable to account for the knife
which Harris used, as he carefully searched the
prisoner before starting with him. There was
on the train and in an adjoining seat another
prisoner on his way to the penitentiary 1t is
presumed he slipped the knife to Harris.
On the person of Harris was found letter
written in the Lebanon Jail on Sunday. showing
that the attempted sef-murder had been
premeditated. 1t stated that he was to
he taken to the prison to spend his
life fer crime of which he was limo
cent and expressed his purpose to end his life
before he reached Michigan City. He also init
mated in the letter that his wife had committed
the crime of which he had been convicted. Harris
is about forty years of age. and always bore a
very good reputatian until he was charged with
numbering the Mitchell girl.
