A Word About the srurphys.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
If numerous quotations from the Muir
phys, father and sons, which are going the
rounds of the press are correct. and / be-
ieve they are, from what / have myself
heard from them, then should Prohibition
lists of every school give them a wide berth.
There are thousands who are now Prohibi-
tionists, who, forty years ago and more,
labored as earnestly and effectively to per-
suade men to wholly abstain from the use
of intoxicants as the Murphys ever can.
These men long since learned that while a
saloon confronts the reformed man of every
step. there is little hope of his remaining
sober; not to speak of the saloon as the
chief agency in the destruction of the young.
There are 10000 voters in Indiana
who believe in prohibition, straight.
cultured of our citizens, nor fanatics either,
and there is more thar another 10000 who
believe in very stringent regulations for
the traffic. bordering on prohibition. All Of
these will go hand in hand with the Muir
phys In reforming the drunkard. Some of
them have spent long life. largely devoted
to this work. and among them all there are
not probably a score who have followed it
for living. But when the Murphys assail
prohibition with only the arguments of the
saloon. and in the face of its fruits. where

we are more than willing to work with

thousands of MS believe to be the most inn

people. Il. A. GOODWIN.

months ago, the following interesting item
of Indiana history, and hope some of your
readers con locate the scene and give rs the
names of those early Indiana editors. The
article is as follows:
If there Is any branch OF industry which has
made great progress II is surely the art OF print

tons, the fncaculable number, SO to speak, Of
journals and OF reviews which are published,

ing astonished in reading this description of a
printing Office fifty years ago. In the state of
Indiana persons who exercised the trade OF
printer had assortment OF wooden type.
When the paper was set up ready to
be printed the subscribers came, each with q
white napkin. The form was linked (plugged) by
means of a certain moist. blackish mud, with
which, fortunately for literature, the country
abounded, and by the aid OF a hammer they OBJ
tanned upon each napkin copy OF the journal,
with which the subscriber withdrew without fear
of having anything to do with the stamp Office

its primitive lustrc and prepared IL for receiving

gray parrot that belonged to family
living near Prospect Park was the marvel
OF the neighborho6d last summer. 1t could
sing whistle and talk dazzling miscellany
of sentences and sentiments. Its talking
was so finished that listeners could readily
determine whom in the household it was
imi tating 1t had also reached that enter
tanning stage of bird education when it
picked up new ideas with amazing rapidity.
The owner had occasion to visit Mica
raeua recently. and took the parrot along.
1t was left with the steward of the vessel.
and the crew used to take turns in the fore
castle in petting the bird and teaching it
new accomplishments. 1t returned with
its owner on the same steamer a month
later, and was installed in great state at
it's former quarters in the Brooklyn home
The first time it's owner entertained neigh
bOrs after his return the invited guests
were shocked to hear the parrot fire off a
violent vocabulary of oaths. The bird had
picked the naughty accomplishment up
from the sailors in the forecastle of the
Nicaragua steamer. 1t seemed to get
huge delight in swearing with great vio-
lenee. and laughed in glee when It's master
scolded it soundIy. The owner hurried to q
bird fancier in dismay, when he discovered
that he could not break the parrot of its
new propensity to use bad language

from the consultation. The owner dashed
at the cage. and shook it as hard as he
could, while his wife and servant seized
fans and famed the cage violently The
moment the cOmmotion began the parrot

bottom of the cage.

words out of Polly" said the birds owner,
as he set the cage down again. The parrot
lay motionless on the bottom of the cage
SO long that the owner thought he had
killed his pet. The bird paid no attention
to his calls. and the Brooklynite opened
the cage door to lift the bird out, when it
suddenly opened its eyes and few up on
the perch again.

The owner sank back on tho sofa in dis
may, ana his wife looked thunderstruck.
The punishment was repeated next day
when the bird swore at the grocer boy. but
it was no use. He kept the bad language
up so persistently that the discouraged
owner finally sold him to the faucier for a
mere song. He said. sorrowfully. to the
purchaser that the parrot was a striking
example of the powerful truth of the Bibli-
cal proverb that evil communications cor

Thst Suit Against Captain Hurley.

g. Thst Suit Against Captain Hurley.
To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
With marked disregard for truth. and in
spired by the venom of partisan malice, the
Sentinel is engaged in attacking the APP
pointments of President Harrison. Lately
it has charged that Captain Hurley, recent
ly appointed to the third authorship, was
short in his final account as postmaster at
New Albany. and points to the fact that
suit is now pending against him in evidence
to substantiate its SANDER. Our citizens
are acquainted with all the facts, and there
is not one who does not believe that the
government, in its arbitrary and unfair
ruling, has done Captain Hurley injustice.
The amount IN controversy Is S22l .9S and is
for brp, rent paid Rar to the late W. c:
postoffice purposes. under contract made
between duly accredited official and Mr..
DePauw. When Mr.. Hurley vacated the
Office he placed the amount, $22l .93. in the
men of his action. Since Sept. g. 1885. it has
renamed there. Mr.. Hurley, under the ad-
vice Of his bondsmen. refused to permit the
government to keep S221.93 of his money,
which he had paid for rent, assuming that
either Mr.. DePauw or the government
should pay him the money he advanced un-
der contract to pay rent for building oc-
cupied for postoffice. The records on file
at Washington will show that Mr.. Hur-
ley invited the Postoffice Depart
ment to bring suit. in order to settle the
question as to who was responsible tor the
money he had paid. This is all there is in
the matter. The bondsmen of Mr.. Hurley
are Messrs. Brown, Culbertson, and De
PAW. all of whom are warm personal
friends of Mr.. Hurley, and approve his
course, as do also citizens conversant with
the facts. The case will soon be called, and,
whichever way it may be decided. there
will be no reproach upon the character of
Captain Hurley. ".

so very essential TO save from ruin the
over-taxed millions whose fate he so
generously bewails. We have slight
recollection of the Senator's war record
during the late rebellion, and it is well
known that he was as full of fight then
against the Lincoln dogs" as he called the
Union soldiers. as he is now against capt.

years since, paraded the streets of Cincin-

They rushed out and as they ran away re-
