NJ AND OPINION.

THE Mormon should suffer the utmost
reasonable penalty of the law if he be
guilty of bigamy or polygamy. but the fact
that he is a member of the Mormon Church
should not be held sufficient to deprive Ill
of the right to vOte.-New York Times.
The civi1-service law as now admins
tered is q humbug. 1t cures no evils. 1t is
a kindergarten for political. hypocrites.
Amend it and put some sense into 1T or re-
peal it entirely. 1t is time to change the
ure.-WashingtOn Post.
THERE is no longer union or harmony in
the Anarchist ranks, but the more they
divide and fall upon each other the better
it is for society and the less danger there
will be of public outbreak. 1t is a hopeful
sign that there is anarchy among. the An
| archists themselves.-Chicago Tribune.
WE must extend the same protection to
shipping and the shipping industry as to
other industries. We must follow the
and with the same protection that we &C
cord to the manufacturing industries.
Unless this is done there is no hope for
American shipping.-New York Press.
! THE SIX States in which the percentage
of votes is lowest, the percentage of litter
acy highest, n the rates of wealth to
representation lowest are the States in
which fraud and violence prevail at cleo,
tiOns. ACHIEVEMENT of the people, by and
for the people produces better results than
a government of the people by a refined"
Oligarchy Of ignorant colonies and inflated
judges and generals.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
To put q straw in the way of the Sioux
commission now is a crime against c%iviliza-
ton. 1t is almost impossible to conceive
of a man who pretends to have a particle
of patriotism in his bosom conspiring to
and barbarism and dwarting a magnificent
State for the sake of a senile and false
theory that the Indian is always ruined by
contact with white men.-New York
| Herald.
THE same spirit which has forbidden the
comparatively powerless railroad pools
would be far more easily aroused to pre-
vent organizations of more permanence and
power, such as are now contemplated. Thus
it does not seem probable that the railroad
companies, which fail to agree or to keep a
voluntary agreement of a legally admissa-
bic nature, will more easily enter into COM
pacts that involve more or less antagonism
to law, and a complete surrender of the
freedom and the rights of stockholders and
managers.-New York Tribune.

THE PRESIDENTS VACATION.

The people will not begrudge the Pres
ident the two or three weeks of absolute
rest from official cares which it is an
nOunced he will take during August,
having accepted the invitation of Mr..
Blaine to spend this time at Bar HarbOr.
He is fully entitled to at least this much
of q vacation, and if his own health does
not demand that he take it, the public
interests do. Congress will probably
meet in special session in October and
continue till the regular session in De-
cember, making a continuous session of
unusual length. The business before it
will be important, and it will devolve on
the President to call many new matters
to its attention. The annual reports of
the heads of departments will soon be in
his hands, with a mass of tabulated de-
tails, and he will want to give them
careful and thorough study. His own
annual message, covering the entire
field of government operations, will
soon have to be prepared. There is a
great deal of hard work ahead for the
President, not to speak of the never
ceasing offi~ce-seeking pressure, and
justice to the public, as well as to him
self, requires that he should 60 into
training and get in condition for it by
at least a few weeks of genuine rest
ana recreation. The President has been
under a continued strain for more than
a year. Since the day of his nomination
the demands upon him nave been inces-
SAINT and exacting. The pressing duties
of the campaign, the more weighty mes
of the po~st-election period, and the still
more exacting and memorable demands
since his Inauguration make a long rec
ord of uninterrupted hard work. The
Presidents friends and the people gen.
orally have reason to be thankful that
he has been able to meet every demand
of public duty without sighting any
public interest or losing u day from

THE official report showing the enor-
nous amount of stationery disposed of
by the late Legislature should do some
thing to dispel the general impression
that few Democratic Legislators of Indi-
ana are able to read and write. Still, if
they couldn't use those thousands Oflead
pencils, pens and pads of paper them
selves, the things would be handy for
the rising generation when they come to
cipher out their lessons from the new
syndicate school books.

ingmen, who insist upon laboring less,
and the capitalists and economists, who
lament overproduction and suggest vari-
GUS industrial reforms, it looks as if a
revolution of some sort in the laboring
world was inevitable sooner or later. 1t
will be q bloodless revolution and a
gradual one when it comes. Those who
find themselves Cooking backward"
like Edward Bellamy, from the year
1900, will hardly be able to tell when the
change came about.

THE Washington correspondent of the
Louisville COurier-JOurnal telegraphs
that paper that Indiana Democrats at
the capital say Governor Gray will be a
candidate to succeed Senator Voorhees,"
Indiana Democrats are a long way be-
hind the times if they have just found
this out. Gray has been a candidate
ever since last winter. and is working
like a beaver to secure his election.
Senator Voorhees, has the hardest fight
on his hands to secure his reelection he
has ever had. Gray controls the Demo-
cratic machine, and has got the organ
izatiOn and the young Democracy solid.
While he has been tightening his grip
on the party, that of Voorhees, has been
l~cosening. Both hope to carry the Leg
i~slature by virtue of the infamous gerry
mander, and if they succeed there will
be a great fight for the senatorship.
But there is q large If in the case.

THE encampment of the State militia,
to be held here next week, beginning
Monday, will probably mark the begin
ming of a new era in the history of our
militia organization. Hitherto the State
has had none worthy of the name, be-
cause it had no militia law worth any
thing. Now it has a good law, an eff
fcient head in Adjutant- general Ruckle,
and can begin to build up a volunteer
militia which will be a credit and honor
to the State. The coming encampment
will be- a beginning in that direction.
AS the Acknowledgment has secured
1-cent rates on all the railroads for all
organized companies attending the en-
campment, there ought to be a good
turnout.

The Democratic convention of Missis-
sippi, which has just been held to nomi-
nate State officers, heartily indorsed
the administration of Governor Lowry,
and especially commended his efforts to
arrest prize-fighters and their abettOrs,
and then nominated another man for
Governor. OF course that is not the
kind of an Endorsement Governor Lowry
wanted. Having failed to secure a re-
nomination he will doubtless end his
pursuit of the sluggers.

CITIZENS of Indianapolis should ex-
ind hearty support to the Soldiers
Monument Commissioners in their effort
TO make a notable event of the corner
stone ceremonies on the 22d of August.
This monument is the greatest work of
the sort yet undertaken in the country,
and the ceremonies of the ed should be
conducted on a scale commensurate
with the part Indiana played in the
great drama that made such a monu-
ment possible. Reduced railway fares
will be secured, and III probabili-
ties are that the city will be called upon
to entertain a great throng of visitors.

1t may be hoped that Senator Sherman's
friends are right in saying that the distin-
guished Ohio statesman will take the
stump for Foraker in the autumn. Such a
course would settle irrevocably the various
rumors alleging hostility between these
leaders. and prove that whatever may be
their personal differences they are big
enough to sink them for the party good.
1t may also be hoped that the Ohio papers
are right in saying that Mr.. Cleveland will
take the stump against Foraker. Indeed,
we would be glad to have him meet Mr..
Sherman in joint debate. A meeting of
that kind would be interesting in the ex-
freme.

Little Peterkiu.

And he before his cottage door
Wa sitting in the sun:
And va him sported in the cool
Two children from the public school.
One was the little Peterkin;
His reader near him lay,
And Caspar took the volume up
To read the time away;
Meanwhile the children, little dears,
Continued at their play.

The boy stood, silent, by,
And then the old man shook his head
And heaved a natural sigh.
