are prolific causes Of disease, and often
sources of fearful epidemics. The whole
weight OF medical and sanitary authority
is to this effect. The consignment of
human body to the earth to putrefy-per-
haps to become the spoil OF ghouls, or
possibly to revive and suffer the pangs OF
the most horrible death imaginable
is revolving to our finer instincts. To
many minds cremation, although it is free
from the sanitary objections which lie
against burial, is even more revolving, and
the bare suggestion of it is intolerable. It
is Objectionable, too, because it involves
the almost complete destruction of the
body, including OF course. any arse
nical or organic poison that it may
contain. According to Sir HENRY
THOMPSON, "some medical men of
large experience hold the opinion that
the administration of poison causing death
is not so uncommon as the infrequent dis
covery of the act might be held to indi-
cate. He expresses the fear that the
general employment of cremation might
lead to an epidemic OF secret poisoning.
and in a report of the Massachusetts board
of health it is said that 1.-The furnace
stands to the murderer in the relation of
accessory after the fact"
1t is claimed for the "new system"
that il SOLVES the problem Of the DISPOSE
ton OF the dead, combining all the ad-
vantages of burial and cremation without
any of their disadvantages; that it lis
eminently sanitary" that il quickly re-
stores to the atmosphere the elements
which are needed by vegetation for its own
subsistence" that it preserves the form
and particularly the features of the dead
for an indefinite period OF time
that il takes from the last ceremonies all
revolving features = that it ''enables
friends 10 participate in the funeral rites
without detriment TO their own health :"
that il makes it impossible to steal the
dead y that it provides constant evidence
that premature entombment has not oc-
Cured" that it 'fs more economical than
burial or cremation - that it "does not
disturb in the slightest degree the tradi-
tons OF religion :" that it does not destroy
evidence OF secret homicidal crime" that
it " preserves the form and features of the
dead for all time"
Many of the leading physicians and di
vines OF the East are on record in favor of
this project. A company has been organ
lied in New York for the purpose of
building mausoleums throughout the
country. Arrangements have already
been made for their erection in Washing
ton, New Orleans and other cities. The
scheme is so novel, and it seems to be so
practicable and advantageous, that we are
entirely willing to forego It's commercial
aspects and invite public attention to it
through our editorial columns.

THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL WEDNESDAY, JUNE H. 1884,

Is that when during a recess Of the gen.
eral assembly, a vacancy shall happen in
any Office, the appointment to trhich is rested
IN the general assembly, the gov
ernor shall fill such vacancy by appoint
ment," ETC.
Surely. il language has any force or
meaning, the power OF the general assem-
bly, to fill any statutory office, in its dis
cretion, is beyond question. practical
exposition" aside. there is absolutely no
other Interpretation to be put upon the
language OF the constitution. ANY other
construction of the plain terms Of that in
strument would outrage common sense
If language has any exact signifi-
canoe, there is no more doubt of
the appointing power of the legis-
lature within the limits indicated
than of its right to exercise any other
power conferred upon it by the constitu-
ton. And when it is considered that the
uniform authority of practical exposition
throughout the whole history of the state,
under both constitutions, is in harmony
with the only natural and rational read
ings of those instruments, the utter alb
surdity of Gov. HovEY's contention and
OF Justices" bubbles becomes so mani
fest that it is difficult to regard them with
any degree OF patience.

The DisposaI of the Dead.

A movement has been instituted in the
East looking to the introduction of a new
or rather the revival of very old-sys-
tenn Of disposing of the dead. II contem-
plates the erection of great mausoleums in
the large cities, and smaller ones in less
populous centers, where the dead bodies
will undergo a process of dessication,
which will prevent decomposition, and
preserve the form and features Of the dead
for ar indefinite period. A few evenings
since the mausoleum project was set forth
in detail by the Rev. CHARLES i.
Treat, rector of the church of the Arch
angel, New York, before an audience of
representative New Workers at the
academy of medicine in that city. The
SESTISEL has received a handsomely
printed and illustrated pamphlet entitled.
"The New Mausoleum," in which the
arguments in favor of this method of dis
posing of the dead and against interment
and cremation are very forcibly stated.
The objections to burying the dead are
numerous and weighty. They are both
scientific and sentimental. Crowded
cemeteries in or near dense population

AMoxe the latest trusts is a school.slate

AMONG the latest trusts is a school-slate
trust. The slate makers do not, of course,
call it trust, but an arrangement ''for the
purpose of being thereby enabled to offer
their goods TO the trade at uniform and
settled prices" The American news
company has been made the sole agent for
this trust. It's Trade Bulletin, sent us by
one OF our readers, contains the wholesale
price list under the new deal. The two
sizes of states most in use are 5x7 and
Sxl2. The price of the former isadvanced
from % to 80 cents per dozen, and OF the
latter from 80 to GA cents. The average
advance is 2S per cent. These slate man.

WHTELAw REID, the new minister 10
France, has taken the apartments of the
Countess GRASIMoNT in Paris, at an an
nual rent of $4,000. Reds salary as
minister is just 81 800 Diplomatic posts
are rarely given, these days, to any but
very rich men, who can afford to spend
two or three times the salary, and are
willing to do so in return for the social
distinctions and privileges these positions
confer. Our diplomatic establishment
ought to be abolished. 1t is of no possible
utility in these days of ocean cables, rail-
ways and fast steamships, and serves no
other purpose than to give rich American
swells opportunities to spread them
selves before the nobility and royalty of
other lands.

THE Marion Democrat tells how one OF
the republican efforts at reform in the
postal service came to grief:
The old route agent who was on the C., W. &
NJ. line, and who removed by President
CLEVELAND, was reinstated by President HAIR
RIsoN not long since, and took his old run,
while the democratic incumbent was ousted
The newly-appointed chap from Wabash made
but one trip when he threw up the sponge, and
the democrat was asked to take charge OF the
mail until further developments, and will in
all probability now retain the place perma-
nently.
People who use the mails are beginning
to realize that democratic incompetency'
in the postal department meant prompt
and correct service, and that republican
reform" means laundering and delay.
The postal service, at least in this part of
the country, is in frightfully democrat
lied condition. The 'hustlers' who
have been turned loose in our city post
Office and in the postal cars running in
and out of this city are making avery bad
mess of it.

TO be "a Job" connected with every great
measure before Congress which generally
defeats everything but 1.-THE job" This work
would give employment to Thousands of worthy
and needy men, and when completed would
give people from abroad additional confidence
to invest and settle here. II would encourage
trade and commerce, and would soon
place Washington in the front rank of
the great cities Of the world. II should
be commenced at once, that it may be com
pleted in time for the great exposition Of
1892 to have the benefit Of it, for unless the re-
claimed flats are protected by . sea wall it viii
not be prudent to hold the permanent exposi-
ton there. They should be protected by sub
stantial granite wall with pontoon landings for
steamers bringing passengers TO the exposition.
Back OF this wall should be laid out q grand
boulevard with footwalks on either side, lined
with shade trees which, besides being useful
for business, would furnish the most beautiful
drive and walk in the city. From the upper
end Of this embankment should be constructed
the memorial bridge to Arlington. The Presi-
dent who will investigate this great question
intelligently, and recommend to Congress the
necessary improvements, will receive not only
the gratitude Of this generation, but of genera
tions yet unborn. and for this work alone, il
for nothing greater, will live in history with
such benefactors Of the human race as Chris
topher Wren, when time-serving, society-wor-
Shipping kings, presidents, and military heroes
are forgotten. J. h CRANE.

INTERCOLLEGIATE BOAT RACE.
The Yale Crew Defeats That OF the
University of Pennsylvania.

The eight-oared, four-mile straight-away
race between the Yale and the University of
Pennsylvania crews was rowed last evening
over the Thames river course, from Gales
Ferry to Winthrop's Point, and was won by
one half lengths. Official time: Yale, 1850;
Pennsylvania, 1854. A quarter Of mile from
the finish Pennsylvania made tremendous
squirt and cut Yale's lead, which was then
nearly i've lengths, down to half q length, but
then Yale hit her stroke up to "a and crossed
the line with lead estimated at from one-half
to ~ boat-lengths. To the casual observer
the race appeared to have been ono of the
most exciting and evenly contested races ON
record, while a. q matter of fact IL was q walk
over for Yale.
