Col. Jones, One of the Newspaper Publishers,
Gives His Impression OF indianapolis.
Editorial Letter In Florida Times Union.
The annual convention of tho American News
paper Publishers Association came to close
yesterday afternoon, and last night the members
entertained at grand banquet at the
Denison Hotel, at which ex-senator Harrison,
Judge Martindale and other distinguished citi-
zens were present. Tho meeting was, on the
whole, a very successful and interesting one,
and the Newspaper Publishers Association may
be looked upon as permanently established.
For two days the convention was kept very
hard at work by the chairman, and the only
offered was . trip, yesterday afternoon around
the city on the Bedtime railway, . natural-gas
display by the Indianapolis Natural-gas Compa-
ny last night, and the banquet already referred
The exhibition of natural gas was wonderfully
striking The gas is brought in pipes distance
of about twenty miles, and the supply is prac-
exhibition iron pipes about two inches in diam
eter. were connected with the gas mains. and
placed at intervals OF twenty or thirty feet
around space about fifty feet square In the
center of this square space Was largo
pipe about thirty feet high. The
visitors were driven out in car
riages, and before their arrival the gas
escaping from the top of the pipes was ignited
and famed up to . height OF from ten to thirty
feet. The Kissing Of the gas as it escaped, the
ing, the lurid glare which seemed to be con-
sciousiy engaged in forcing back the envelopiIg
darkness, all made spectacle never TO be for
gotten. 1t wss like a scene from Dantes Inferno
as conceived by the imagination OF Gustave
Dore.
With the introduction of natural gas it is ex-
pected that Indianapolis will enter upon new

HARPER's Weekly says definitely that it
makes no difference what the Republicans do
pendents propose to stick to Cleveland. That
fact has been pate mt for long time. If the
Republican convention should nominate Mr..
Edmunds, FOR whom Mr. Curtis and his asso-

suppose that the Republicans will now select
a candidate with special reference to his
acceptability to class whose votes no man
would receive. The candidate to be chosen

SENSITIVE natures are indignant over Gen.
sral Sherman's recent remark concerning the
Southerner's habit of "blowing" about his
estates" and plantations" when all he has
are "few measly acres worth S. an acre"
Nevertheless, General Sherman was right, as
he usually is. Nothing has ever caused such
surprise and disappointment to the Northern
tourist as the vain search for the traditional
Southern plantation with it's broad and TEEN
ing acres and luxurious accessories which has
,ong been pictured in his minds eye.

THE decision of the Appellate Court, in the
Chicago boodler cases, is another distinct tri-
umph for justice. There have been some
instructive instances of this kind lately, and
it is to be hoped there may be more. The
administration of law has been going too
have come for courts to brace up. But this
must be no spasmodic reform. Criminals
and wrong-doers of all kinds should be given to
understand that they are to be given "the hot
end of the poker" ali the time, and that they
can no longer afford to take the risk OF escap-
ing the penalties of violated law through it's
hnicalties. The course pursued by Coy
and Bernhamer has been strikingly similar to
that of the Chicago boodlers. In both cases
the proof of guilt was clear and over
whelming, the trial was fair and impair
tial and the verdict of the jury
was such as to command the approval of all
honest men. The Chicago Inter Ocean says
of the verdict in the boodler case: 'Never
was punishment more merited than that or
dained by the verdict of the trial court.
Never was the finding of the jury in closer
accord with the judgment OF. society" This
was literally true in the tally-sheet case. But
in both cases there followed the usual dilatory
motions and appeals, framed in the interest Of
crime. The law provides or permits too many
of these, but if they cannot be prevented,
courts should at least give them the least
possible consideration and override them with
promptpess and dispatch. The Appellate
Court at Chicago, in sustaining the decision
of the lower court, concludes by saying:
"After patient consideration of the whole
record it appears that the plaintiffs in error
have had a fair and impartial trial, and that
they have been convicted upon sufficient and
competent evidence. We find no errors in
the rulings of the court which should entitle
them to new trial" We hope to see the
ends of justice and the interests of society
similarly sustained by the final decision in
the Coy -Bernhamer case. It is time that
crime should be made odious.

THE greatest surprise in connection with
the fisheries treaty is that any has been made.
The impression has been given out from
Washington that the commission was a fail
ure, that no common basis of agreement
could be reached, and that the whole question
would be left in statu quo. The able CORE
spondents have all united in this statement of
the case, and it has seemed to receive some
confirmation from the reticence of the State
Department and the commissioners >thena
selves. Now it appears that treaty has been
formulated that covers all the points in dis
pute and settles the whole controversy. It's
details are not yet made known, and will not
greatly interest the public when they are.
The main point of interest is that it settles
an irritating dispute of very long standing on
a basis satisfactory to the commissioners of
both countries and presumably to both
governments. The real interests involved
are not very important, but they were large
enough to furnish material for chronic con-
ate bad blood and dangerous conditions. The
manner of its settlement was not SO impor-
tant as that it should be settled in some way.
The fact that the Canadians are Clicking
about what they understand to be the basis
of settlement indicates that it is not unfavor-
able to the claims of the United States. The
impression prevails in Canada that the treaty
is surrender on their part. It is quite like
4 hat do hot =
sides which the people most directly interest
ed would not approve, but both govern
ments and the masses of both peoples are
interested in having the matter settled. OF
course the treaty has yet to be approved by
the Senate, and there may be hitch there.

MCGUIRE.-On Dec. Sth, 1887, of heart dis
ease, PATRICK MCGUIRE.
Beneath the silent shades of home,
In the narrow casket bed,
They have placed my dearest husband
With the calm and peaceful dead.
When wntry storms are over,
And spring comes fresh and fair,
will meekly kneel beside his grave
And plant a flower there.
With the lilies wreathed about him
And the laurels on his breast
Wake him not the Saviour called him
SVeetly, calmly, let him rest.
Rest in peace. Amen.

MARTIN.-.On the 18th instant, ELIZABETH,
youngest child of John aud Catherine Martin, In
her 10Th year.
Weep not that her tolls are ever;
Weep not that her race is run;
God grant that we may rest as calmly
When our work, like hers. is done.
Till then we will yield in gladness
Our treasure to Him to keep,
And ever rejoice in our sadness,
To know He gives his loved ones sleep.
Then shed not a tear when her grave you
shall SEQ;
shehas broken sins fetters-from sorrow
is free.
Now the angels watch over her narrow bed
And whisper, she sleopeth, your sisters Is
not dead.
