Indiana Republicans.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. THE hotel
lobbies are filled to OVERLOOKING to night
with delegates and visitors in attendance
on the Republican state convention which
convenes tomorrow morning at l0o'clock.
The chief interest centers in the struggle
for the gubernatorial nomination AID the
busy %caucuslng to night between the dele
gates indicates the zeal and confidence of
several aspiring candidates. Ex-Governor
Porter, in view of his emphatic refusal to
permit his name to go before the conven-
ton, is no longer considered by the ma
jorlty of the leading politicians in attend
ance as among the possible nominees for
the governorship. All doubts upon this
point were seemingly swept aside by Gov
ernor Porter yesterday and to day by his
reiterated public declarations to the
friends Of the other candidates that there
were no circumstance or contingencies
under which he could now accept the
nomination.
The candidates aud aspiriants for the
gubernatorial nomination are Col. Ii. S.
Robertson, of Fort Wayne. the present
lieutenant governor; Major George w.
Steele, of Marion, congressman OF the
llth district; Col. VIM. Cumbock, of
Greensburg, ex-governor; General A. T..
Hovey, of Mount Vernon, congressman
first district; Rev. Ira j.. Chase, of Dan
vile, department commander Of the
Grand Army of the Republic, and Hon.
j. W. Butler, of indianapolis. The name
Of Chairman j. w. Huston. Republican
state committee, is frequently mentioned
as a possible dark horse, but Huston de-
clares that he is not a candidate in any
sense of the word.

Individuality of various States.

When we study a state at its center,
its political action, its organization, its
spirit, the management of its institutions
of learning and of charity, the tenden-
cies, restrictive or liberal, of its legisla-
ton, eve the tone of social life and the
code of manners, we discover distinctions,
individualities, almost as many differ
ences as resemblances. And we see-the
saving truth in our national life-that
each State is a well nigh indestructible
entity, an empire in itself, proud and
conscious of its peculiarities, and Jealous
of its rights. We see that state bound
aries are not imaginary lines, made by
the geographers, which could be easily
altered by the central power. Nothing,
indeed, in our whole national develop
ment, considering the ommon influences
hat have made us, is SO remarkable as
the difference Of the several states. Even
on the lines of q common settlement, say
from New England and New York, note
the difference between northern Ohio,
northern Indiana, northern Illinois, Wis
consin and Minnesota. Or take another
line and see the difference between
southern Ohio, southern Indiana, south
ern Illinois and northern Missouri.
But each state, with its diverse D
%lation, has a certain homogeneity and
character Of its own. We can under
stand this where there are great differ
ences of climate, or when one is noun
famous and the other is flat. But why
should Indiana be so totally unlike the
two states that flank it in 30 many of the
developments Of civilized life or in re-
tarded action; and why should Iowa, in
its entire temper and spirit, be SO unlike
Illinois? One state copies the institutions
of another, but there is always some
thing in its life that it does not copy from
any other.-Harper's Magazine.

STANDING ROLK AGENCY, OAK, Aug.
In council this morning there was no
favorable change in the minds of the In
dams. John Grass reiterated the deter
mination of the Indians to refuse to sign
either paper. Gall said that his people
would go home to-day. They started to
leave when Agent Mclaughlin rose and
ordered them to remain, which they did.
The commissioners then finally adjourned
the council and told the Indians to go
homo and attend to their crops and the
commissioners would proceed to other
agencies, and when the Standing Rock
people were wanted again notice would be
given. They then dispersed quietly and
set out for their homes.
The Cheyenne River agency will be
visited next.

Turning now to Arithmetic. How fair
a building it is; how strong its founda-
tons; how well proportioned its parts;
how admirably fitted each to each; how
every following part grows naturally and
necessarily out of that which precedes it,.
What a triumph of mans intellectual
powerl What a demonstration that
there is spirit mani What an instrument
for drawing out, developing, in the child
his rational powers-so severe yet so sim
pie in its logic; so satisfying IN its demon
STATIONS that he who follows them has
continual triumph. In this branch
land but voice the sentiments of those
who have the best opportunity of know
ing), there lisa lamentable falling off. In
deed, mental arithmetic seems to be one
of the lost arts. The ability to hold the
data of the problem in mind, to carry on
the logical processes, to make the neces-
sary computations of even a very simple
problem, is altogether beyond them.
There is no mental muscularity. Give
them a question of any complexity, and
it is like putting a five pound fiat-iron
into the hands of a baby. Now, it is not
because the arithmetic is waning that
we deplore this: it is the lack of mental
power it indicates that makes the sting.
The multiplicity of studies with high
sounding names, the stack of books that
the child brings home, which so pleases
the ignorant patron, cannot but make
the judicious grieve." The shallowness
of their knowledge and power in their
many studies takes from the scholars all
sense of joyous power; and markings and
percentages have to be administered to
keep their courage up. Missing the de-
delights of mental mastery, they seek and
find a substitute in the silly vanities.
Much more may be said, and | think
truly, in the same strain, but forbear.
Many will think have said too much,
that it is harsh and unjust impeaCh-
ment. / should be all too clad to know

protest against the murder of the inno-
cents by an overlooking of studies. And

dicious amount of seed and proper condi-
tons give success. Boys that work on

quently excel those who are deemed
more fortunate. A.F.N.

A farmer in Illinois insured his
stock against fire and lightning. In
the policy the animals were described
as ''all contained in his new barn,
and there was a further clause pro-
viding that the policy should be void
if the insured property was removed
to any other place than the one de-
scribed. One morning, after a thund-
er storm, pet mare of the farmers.
and one of the animals expressly COW
cred by the insurance policy, was
ound dead in a field about 400 yards
from the barn. When payment was
demanded of the company, the agent
refused to recognize the claim because
the mare was not in the barn at the
time of her death. In the suit that
followed, the farmer was successful
and tn company had to pay. for al
though not in the barn at the moment,
she had not been permanently remOv-
ed therefrom.
