eve have not had any Civil Ser
vice Reform in Indiana" is the en-
phatic statement made yesterday be-
fore Senator Hale's committee by
Mr.. William Dudley Foulke, presi-
dent of the Civil Service Reform
Association of that state. The de-
tailed testimony and figures given by
Mr.. Foulke confirm this sweeping
condemnation of "reform" as it is
practiced under President Cleveland.
The most significant part of Mr..
Foulke's evidence is that after max
ing full Investigations and ascertain
ing that republicans by the score were
being turned out of office to make
room for democrats, when no charges
had been made against them, he
went to Washington and laid the
facts before the president; only to
find that what had been done met
with Mr.. Cleveland's full approval.
The Administrations disregard of
solemn pledges is notorious; but af-
ter this we ought to hear very little
about Civil Service Reform being up
held by the party now in power.
Civil Service Reform, in fact, has be-
come a farce of the broadest variety.
The name of Hon. b. d. Harris
of this place having been often men
toned in the lists of candidates sug-
gested for delegates to the republi-
can national convention at Chicago,
Mr.. Harris authorizes us to say that
he is not a candidate for the place
and does not wish an election as a
member of the delegation. He be-
lieves it to be both unnecessary and
unwise, as a matter of good party
policy, to give The office repeatedly
to any one man, and having enjoyed
the honor four years ago, he thinks
it should now 90 to some other rep
sentative republican from this sec
ton of the state. Mr.. Harris would
be glad to see the choice fall on Col.
j. j. Els ey, whose name has been
favorably mentioned in this connec-
ton. On our own part we feel sure
that no more judicious selection than
that of Col. Estey could be made.
| Should he be named either as del
egate at large OF as one of the dele
gates from this district, the choice
would be cordially approved by all
the republicans in Windham county.

and prominent politicians III various
states frankly admit his claims and
fitness for the office and name HIM
as their preference. Not the least
significant is the hearty support given
General Harrison by the colored peo-
pie, and should he be nominated the
republican party can count upon the
heaviest colored vote both North and
South, ever polled. That General
Harrison can carry Indiana by a larg-
er majority than any presidential can
didate in the field no one doubts.
With other states fast falling into

m de which was based upon the argu-
ment which Sir. Fuller is said to have
made, or upon an opinion which he fur
nished in some case, the title of which
has not become accessible to those who
we're not behind the closed doors. That
argument or opinion relates to the prin-
ciples upon which the legal tender act
was founded, and it is assumed went to
show that if the legal tender act should
again be brought in review before the
United States Supreme Court Mr.. Fuller
might decide that the act was uncon-
stitutional, This was perhaps the
strongest political point that was made
against Mr.. Fuller by his opponents

latter that the average value of farm
lands is less than $500. They have
no home market and must produce a
crop which can be exported. If you
follow this theory into the far West
you will find the same result. Mr..
Miller then went ON to show that home
markets were better than foreign, and
reviewed the tariff in general.
These speeches were followed by
those of Senator Edmunds and others.

GENERAL NEWS.

Kilgore of Texas, by his brutal refer
ence to disabled Union veterans as
'paupersn in the House on Friday over
the Soldiers Home. bill, wrote himself
down as about the most wretched speci-
men of unreconstructed rebel who has
been heard from at this session of Con-
gress. 1t was this man Kilgore who,
with one other Southern Democrat, vo-
ted against making Phil Sheridan Cen
eral of the Army when he lay on what
was supposed to be his death-bed. Kill
gore on Friday was very effectually re-
buked and silenced by good Northern
Democrat, SpinOla of New York, as
well as by Republican, Laird of Ne
braska, himself Union veteran. But
Kilgore's blackguardly language is deep
ly significant, nevertheless, and some
thing which old soldiers will do well to
ponder, for Kilgore and his kind, and
not Spinola, represent the influence
which rules the Democratic party. The
Southern Bourbons are on top in this
Administration, and they are not going
to let the North and Northern veterans
forget it,
Mr.. Chas. S. Higgins, a prominent
Democrat, and a leading citizen of
Brooklyn has come out sQuarely against

oCrat, and is the head of one of the lar

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted?
If you will remember few years ago
the word Malaria was com p aratively un
known, to day it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning of an
other word used by our forefathers in
time past. SO it is with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to
cover what our grandfathers called
Biliousness, and all are cause by troubles
that arise from diseased condition OF
the Liver which in performing Its func-
tons finding it cannot dispose of the
bile through the ordinary channels is
compelled to pass it off through the sys-
tenn, causing nervous troubles Malaria,
Bilious Fever, etc. You who are suffer-
ing can well appreciate a cure. We
recommend Green's August Flower.
It's cures are marvellous.

THE LIMIT OF SPEED,

The speed of locomotive has not in
creased with their weight and size
There is natural law which stands in
the way of this. five double the weight
on the driving-wheels, the adhesion
and consequent capacity for drawing
loads is also doubled. Reasoning in an
analogous way, it might be said that if
we double the circumference of the
wheels the distance they will travel in
one revolution, and consequently the
speed of the engine, will be in like pro-
portion. But, if this be done, it will
require twice as much power to turn
the wheels as was needed for the small
ones and we then encOnter the natural
law that the resistance increases as the
square of the speed, and probably at
even greater ratio at very high We
locities. At go miles an hour the re-
sistance is four times as great as at 30
miles. That is, the pull on the draw bar
of the engine must be four times as
great in the one case as in the other.
But at 60 miles an hour this pull
must be exerted for given dis
lance in half the time that it is at 30
miles, so that the amount Of power eX-
erted and steam generated in a given
period of time must be eight times as
great in the one case as in the other.
This means that the capacity of the
boiler, cylinders, and the other parts
must be greater, with corresponding
greater addition to the weight of the
machine. Obviously, if the weight per
wheel is limited, we soon reach pc mt
at which the size of the driving-wheels
and other parts cannot be enlarged;
which means that there is a certain pro-
portion of wheels, cylinders and boiler
which will give maximum speed
