Paw as You Go.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
Corporations, as well as individuals, are
endangered by debts, and therefore should
guard against them. The first are even
more in danger, because there are con-
stantly springing up plans that necessitate
disbursements, which are agreed to by some
members of the various boards having
charge of public affairs. The history of
permanent debts shows that they are
hardly ever paid, but frequently Cancelled
and sometimes repudiated. The current
wants should be paid Immediately, and the
tax levy should be made accordingly.
h0ani nte snssnds and Ss sar Interest,"
from six to, ten years, according to
its rate, devours the amount of
the principal without releasing the debt.
Taxation, being always most burdensome ON
not to be prolonged, but shortened.
The continually growing loans of States
and cities are drifting us toward the
lamentable condition of England, where
everything is owned by capitalists and the
great mass of the people are condemned to
starvation wages, working like machines
These loans will, of course, increase the
business of brokers. banks and capitalists,
and the great mass Of the people will not
notice their danger until they are trapped.
Therefore, the tax levies should be suffi-
GENTLY large to pay running expenses. and.
gradually. the debts, which feature should
be a proviso of the enactment. 1t should
never be forgotten that the system of taxa
ton should be so modified as to fall less ON
the income of the needy classes than on the
surplus of the wealthy. Taxation on in
numbered property to its full value. with
out regard to the incumbrance, is unjust.
and equal taxation on small possessions
with that on large possessions is inhuman.

Archdeacon Mackay Smith, in Harper's Monthly
He would sacrifice his life, we hope and
believe, rather than 'sell the truth to serve
the hour" but the social ties which bind
him to his people, his intimacy with the
men who called him and sustain him, his
desire to justify the hopes of a successful
pastorate, all operate insensibly to dull
that realization of being "a prophet of
God" which the pastor needs at times keen
ly to feel if he would do his noblest work.
1t is indeed true that if one
were to walk down Broadway
to Wall street, and call everything
he saw ny its direct and plain name, he
would. notwithstanding all that raw en-
thusiasm or hot-headed zeal may say, work
more harm than good. But it is also true
that we sorely need in this country and
age more of that martyr spirit which
the blood" which compels and drives man
TO stand up. regardless of consequences
and cry, The Lord God before whom
stand will surely visit this thing" Signs
are not wanting that such spirit is gath
ering force among lie clergy.

of seventy-five men made descent on Homer
vile, yesterday, during the absence of the cOun-
ty officials at McCOOk, disarmed the citizens who
were guarding the court-hO with Winchester
rifles, and brought back portion of the county

of the county-seat of Gosper county

sary two-thirds vote for its removal from Homer
vile to ElwOod was secured. bonneville, how
ever. refused to give up the records. The latest
development, of course, divides the records be-
tween the two towns and broadens the chasm
between their respective citizens, with excellent
prospects of further hostities in the nearfuture.

Force in Moral Reforms.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Force is the word uppermost in the
thought of some people who ought to know
better, and do know and act better in most
things. The splendid lessons taught by
Francis Murphy in his late work in this
city, and the results, ought to have lasted
longer than they have on some people.
There are those who seem to think that the
world can be set going very rapidly in re-
form by vigorously kicking all who differ
from them. Christ would have had poor
show in these days associating with pub
leans and sinners, and though only
chided gently by the broad phylactery
gentry while plucking corn ON the Sabbath
day, this same crowd now would hustle
Him off to the first statiOn-house. Force is
now the watchwOrd for reform and the con-
version of the world, or else nothing goes.
If anybody thinks there ought to be a
better way for the Inauguration ceremony
than the old one, Washington is a free
city, and it has lots of great halls that
could be rented cheaply for aday and night
Displacement by friendly and fraternal
world. Whoever has better way for any
thing will win the public in this enlight-
ened day by going about it without any
flourish or advance courier with bugle.
The fact is, the malice that couldn't de-
feat General Harrison by the Fisk diver
sion in behalf of Cleveland would now
like to bring him a bit of en-
barrassment at the inaugural. To-
day / heard one of this crowd say
angrily that he hoped all the worry would
be made that could be, but that he danced
himself when he pleased. do not believe
that the few ministerial representatives of
force in moral reform will be able to de-
bauch great church with a nonsensical
declaration to govern the world outside of
its pales, and to crafty the malice of the
third-par high jincks who are using them
for Interior purposes. METHODIST.

Too Demonstrative i'm Their LOYALTY.

BERLIN, Jan. 5.-The loyalty of the Ber-
liners toward the Emperor has led to a eau
ton from the North German Gazette against
crowding upon the carriages of the imperial
party when out driving. The Gazette says:
THE repeated ovatiOns recently given to
their Majesties while out driving has more
than once given rise to Inconvenience.
Crowding too near the carriage, and espe-
cially running before them, is apt TO make
the horses FESTIVE; moreover, when per-
sons incautiOusly approach the car
Apart from the incidents arising from these
causes too impetuous crowding upon their
Majesties is incompatible with that feeling
of respect which ought to be shown to them,

demonstrations of the character of gen
uine ovation. With regard to the throwing
of letters and petitions into the Emperor's
carriage, it should be known that it is bet
