THE DANGER oP THE TRUST.

Twenty per cent. of the second assessment
upon the Trust subscriptions has not been
paid, according to unofficial newspaper state
ments. Within ten minutes, on Saturday,
several gentlemen came SUCCESSFULLY into
store on Pennsylvania street and, upon being
questioned, said they were subscribers to the
Trust, had paid their first assessments but
not the second. One of the largest subscrib-
ers said to Journal representative, on Satur-
day afternoon, that he had paid his first as
sessment but not the second, and
should pay no more until the present
conditions were changed. Other gen.
tlemen have said the same thing,
they being among the best and most repre-
sentative citizens of Indianapolis. In each
case the reason was the same: the Trust had
been diverted from its original purpose. and
was now being used stubbornly and selfshly
to prevent other companies from coming into
sthe city with gas. and they had no sympathy
with such a purpose, and did not propose to
aid it by their money or influence. These
are but symptomatic cases. The Journal is
positive that the vast majority Of
the 400 subscribers have no pa
thence or sympathy with the present
attitude of the officers and special representa-
tives of the Trust. The meeting on Friday
night demonstrated that. Where were 1.-THE
people9" They were not at the meeting, be-
cause they do not believe their interests are
imperiled by the proposed amendments to
the gas ordinance, and are not IN sympathy
with the effort to prevent Council from max
ing them merely to delay the introduction of
gas until the Trust is ready to be-
gin operations itself. If the people had
believed their interests were in danger they
would have responded to the call in respecta-
BILE numbers. As it was, outside of those
who favored the amendments, there was mo-
body present except few of the Trust repre-
sentatives, who were ashamed of the handful
of fools and communists that captured and
controlled the mobocratic demonstration.
The Journal has before called attention to
the danger Of the Trust, and repeats it in all
kindness and sincerity. We want the
Trust to succeed, and TO begin the work of
supplying gas to the city as soon possible;
but it is endangering its future by the posi-
ton it Is now made to occupy by professed
friends, but who are, in reality, its worst en-

viii. and that unless private companies
forced to pipe the city, at the arbitrary order
of the Council, it will be left without gas
THE Washington correspondent of the

The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier-Journa1 says:
"a great deal of work has been done by
Indiana Democrats to bring Holman, Bynum
and others into the party-line against White.
Numerous kilograms were received today
from Indiana by the members from that
State, and Joe Mcdonald was GA the floor
doing what he could to change them. To-
night, however, the Democratic managers
give up the fight and admit they cannot I'M
seat White"
Importuning the President to preserve from
punishment the vote-stealers, and Emporium
ing Congressman to join the band of seat
stealers under the lead of rebel-fraud- elected
representatives, is pitiable sort of work for a
man with SO honorable reputation as Joseph
E. Mcdonald has enjoyed.

We know there is room enough for them all,
and patronage for them all We would not
put all the eggs in the Trust basket, but
welcome the Trust, the Indianapolis, the
Broad Ripple and the Capital City companies.
They are made up of our own citizens; their
capital is local. their enterprise is local. their
interests are all local. Indianapolis wants
them ALL with all their enterprise and all their
public spirit. It is for the Councils to say
whether another policy shall prevail.

Mr.. o. O. STEALEY, correspondent Of the
Louisville Courier-Journal. the private secretary
of Speaker Carlisle, thus tells the truth and la
meuts over it:
s'Mr White. of the Fort Wayne district. will
keep his seat in the Fiftieth Congress. That
which was regarded as most probable yesterday
was made certainty to-day by Mr.. Cochran, of
New York. and Mr.. Mcdonald, of Minnesota,
making speeches against the report Of tho COM
m;ttee and in favor of the Republican sitting
member. The discussion will close Monday and
a vote be taken. The indications to night are
that fifteen twenty members on the Demo
cratic side will vote with the Republicans and
Mr. White will be allowed to keep his seat by a
decided majority. Twas ever thus, and ever
will be in ali bodies where there is no leader
ship or party discipline. To save the time of
the House. hereafter, the proper thing for the
Democrats the elections committee to do
now is to bring in a resolution allowing all the
Republicans who have contests. to have or
keep their seats. It is clearly evident that the
Democratic side has not the courage to sustain
its own committees

THE abuse heaped on Judge Woods did not
deter him from giving the tally-sheet forgers
a fair trial nor from treating them with
leniency. By his permission they have been
permitted to remain here a few days in the
custody of officers, pending further efforts of
counsel in their behalf, when he would have
been quite justified in sending them to prison
at once Meanwhile they seem to have been
holding a reception at the hotel where they
are temporarily abiding. The Sentinel says
'.their rooms have been crowded ever since
they took apartments at the hotel" The
local Democracy seem determined to identify
themselves with this crime as far as they
possibly can and to follow the convicts to the
very door of the penitentiary. After that
their rooms will not be so crowded.

The News says that Mr.. Tallman, the rep
resentative of the Bellaire glass manufactures,
who is waiting to see what the Council will do
regarding gas before decision is made upon
the question of removing here, can get bond
for $780, 900 that gas will be ready for him by
the time he is ready for gas. The conclusive
answer to the News is, that what Mr.. Taliman
wants is the absolute certainty of gas, not the
possibility of bond, upon which he might
have to sue for recovery of damages He
wants gas, not bond. Besides, it might
be bond something like the $4,000 bond
filed by the Trust, which is not a $50, 900
bond at all, but a bond of fifty gentlemen for
81, 900 each. If ore should die the bond is
reduced in amount, and if any accident or
incident should render any of the bondsmen
Irresponsible those who are left are held only
for ST. 900 each. Imagine the howl that
would have been raised if the indianapolis
company had attempted to present a bond of
that kind to the Council!

Liberty AND ITS RESTRAINT.

Events of the past few days have brought
the thoughts Of prison life forcibly before
many minds. Men conscious of their own
deserts have shivered at the reflection that
retribution in that shape may yet overtake
them, and citize MS guiltless of harning living
creature have endeavored to picture the
possibilities of years deprivation of freedom
Livery becomes precious when it is about to
be lost, and the worst feature Of the punish
IN emit, aside from the disgrace, that presents
itself to any consciousness is the fact that
liberty is restrained and that imprisonment
means absolute subservience to the will OF
another. No dread of hunger, of cold, OF
instrument of torture, of moldy dungeon, Of
physical suffering of any sort is involved in
contemplation Of existence in an Indiana
prison. IF there are no Sullivans and Harri-
sons among the purveyors, the food IS whole
some in quality; if there are no economical
stewards, it is sufficient in quantity; if the
wardens obey the law, nocruelty to inmates is
tolerated. These are three important "ifs''
under the present condition of political affairs
it is true; but the disagreeable possibilities
contained in them do not materially influence
the prospect when considered from the outside.
Brutality and cruelty are the exception rather
than the rule in American prisons, and the
mere confinement is the worst punishment the
convict has to endure To know what prison
life may mean one has but to read the tales
told by Russian political offenders. The
earlier article from the pen of George KEENAN,
described horrors which it seemed could hardly
be surpassed, but the latest chapter Of his
history portrays even greater miseries. The
filth, the poor food, the vermin, the cold, the
inhumanity of the keepers. formed an appall-
ing picture; but more refined fortunes, inflicted
upon the better class of prisoners, must
have been far more difficult to endure.
Total isolation, absolute silence--even
the prisoners own footsteps making
no sound, and his voice not being
permitted to rise above whisper-no occu-
patton for the hands or the mind except an
occasional book brought and taken away at
the pleasure of the guard, no communication
with the outside world, no certainty that he
would not be forgotten by the authorities and
left in prison without trial-nothing but
hopelessness and the prospect of insanity or
death confronted the unfortunate in these
bastiles.
IMPRISONMENT in its most favorable aspect
is punishment, and no comparison of condi-
tons will make the prospect of entering even
gilded cage pleasing one; but the fact new.
ertheless remains that the convict in an
American penitentiary spends season that
is simply one of luxury and pleasure when
compared with the existence of his Russian
brother. From American prisons men often
come forth to lead honest and peaceable lives;
from Russian prisons. however they may
have gone in, the inmates come out Nihilists.

An Attempt to ESCAPE.

An attempt was made THE morning
by the prisoners in the county Jail to
make their escape. but a timely dis
coVery Of their plans was made and
frustrated. The facts in the case are as
follows:
This morning Mr.. Booher happened
to be in the rear Of the Jail and be de-
tected an unusual scratching noise
within which excited his curiosity. He
immediat ~ informed Deputy Sheriff
Taber that he thought there was some
thing wrong going on. Mr.. Taber
Immediately went inside and walking
to the rear he saw John Dolau, one of
the Carlin prisoners, come hastily from
the water closet. He went into that
department but it being dark he saw
nothing suspicious. When Sheriff
Atwell came to the Office he was in
formed Of the suspicious circumstances
and taking light they went into the
water closet where they found one
oAAS0 iouOhOu lEOul Lue wall ana the
mortar out of several seams surrounding
it. polan was charged with the offense
which he stoutly denied. but his knees
being covered with dust aud his being
seen coming hastily out proved him to
be the right man, and he, with three
others, was locked up in the cells. The
instrument used to remove the brick
was case knife which had been con-
cealed when the meals we're brought in.
While the work was going on the other
prisoners were near the front of the
Jail talking and making quite a racket
to prevent the Sheriff from detecting
the noise made in removing the bricks.
In their present quarters there is little
danger that the attempt will be re-
pea.sd.

Scored Heart Academy.

One OF the noblest educational insti-
tutions in the country is that located in
Ogden, and known as Sacred Heart
Academy.
The Object Of this academy is to pre-
pare young ladies for any sphere OF lie
to which they may be called; to give o
thorough knowledge Of letters, science
and art, based Upon q solid, moral and
Christian education. As a true educa-
ton consists in the harmonious de-
velopment of tho moral, intellectual and
physical qualities, any system that neg
lects or ignores the triple culture of the
heart. mind and body must be radically
defective. Hence the care taken at
Sacred Heart Academy to prepare
pupils to take their place in society with
honor to themselves and benefit to their
fellow .crentures.
Besides the thorough methods of in
strnction in the English branches and
the languages, music and the Gpe arts
receive so much attention that the
classes in each were larger this year
than any preceding one.
