THE MONUMENTS CORNERSTONE.
President Harrison Wishes to Be Here at the
Ceremonies When the Stone Is Laid

Preparations for laying the cornerstone
of the soldiers and sailors monument here
Oh the odd prox. progress favorably. Presi-
dent Langsdale, of the commission. re-
ceived a letter from Private Secretary Hal
ford, saying that it was the sincere desirc
of President Harrison to be present during
that ceremony, and that the President was
trying to bend his engagements to that
end. There is little doubt that he will be
here to take part in the exercises, and,
while it is not expected that he will de-
liver any formal address, 1t is likely the
occasion will furnish material for i'm
promptu remarks. His old regiment, the
SEVENTEEN Indiana, holds a reunion here
on the day following the laying of
the cornerstone. and it is probable
that many other military organizations
will take advantage of the opportunity to
visit the city on the 22d. Concerning the
regular orators of the day. Generals Man.
son. Packard and Coburn, it is an interest
ing fact that the latter made the first
speech in favor of the monument project
at the soldiers reunion here, in 1875, and the
surplus of 81 900 which was left over from
that reunion was the nucleus around which
subsequent subscriptions gathered. That
sum was turned over to the Grand Army of
the Republic. through the efforts of Mr..
Langsuaie, nNe years later, Wnen Tie mem-
bers of the Grand Army undertook the task
of raising subscriptions, and it was in
creased to $4,000 by efforts of the mOnu-
mental committee of that organization.
1t has been decided to change the pro-
posed inscription so that no mention of
the cost of the work shall be inscribed upon
the stone. The eight volumes of Adjutant-
general TerrelPs report, presented by James
Z. Ross. of Wabash for insertion, with
other matters. in the cornerstone, are sub
stantially bound. and contain probably
the fullest account extant of the heroic
contributions of loyal Indianians TO pre-
serve the Union.

DISTRIBUTION OF SCHOOL-BOOKS.
Under the New Law the State Will Be Put to
Expense No Matter How 1t Is Interpreted.

One of the peculiarities of the new school
book law is that its terms provide for the
Shipment of books to the county school SUI
perintendents by the contractors, instead
of to the township trustees who are charged
with their distribution. Some of the coun-
ty superintendent have indicated their in
tention of making their acquisitions upon
the Superintendent of Public instruction
in such manner that the latter shall make
his requisition on the contractors to deliver
the books to the various township trustees
offices direct. instead of TO the county SUI
perintendent. 1t is very doubtful whether
the contractors will assume the expense of
the additional freights required by this
plan. but whether they do or not.
the ,o expense apeaea to a., the State will
liver books to any other persons than those
to whom they are directed to deliver by
the statute. they will deliver to the county
superintendent, and the township trustees
Will have to come to the county officer for
the books. On the other hand, should the
contractors agree to deliver the books at
the township trustees offices, the county
superintendents would have to visit these
offices to receipt for them, and as his per
diem is twice that of the township trustee,
the expense would be correspondingly in
creased. In other words, four times
year there will be visitation
to county superintendent offices by 1000
township trustees at 81 per diem, or four
times year there will De 1900 visitations
TO township trustees offices by county SUI
perintendcnts at 81 per diem. Another de-
feet in the law is found in the use of the
word superintendent" instead of trustee
In the third line of Section Q. of the
printed act a mistake which is likely to
cause trouble should it become necessary to
enforce the act by suits on bonds.

The Powers of NIayora.

Attorney general Kitchener has filed an
opinion in reply to information asked for
by DIR. G. L. Wright, superintendent of
the Insane Hospital. The question asked
by the superintendent was: us the Mayor
of any city in Indiana qualified to act in
the capacity of justice of the peace in in
sanity inquestsw The answer of the At
torney general is that Mayors are SO quail
fed Section u of the act of Jan. ID, 1852.
prescribe that commitments in such cases
must be made by two justices of the peace.
and Section IL. of the general act concerning
cities, passed March ii. 1861. gives to Mayors
the powers of justices of the peace within
the limits of their cities in civil and Grim
inal matters. Insanity inqnests are. it is
thought. included in the civil matters re-
ferTed to, and Mayors may serve as part of

The Riches of the East

A letter from India describes carpet

was about 10x6 feet, made entirely of
pure and colored pearls, with great
central and corner circles of diamonds.
This carpet took three years to make,
and cost 81, 900, 900. 1t was intended to
be sent to Mecca to please a Mohamme-
dan lady who had fascinated the Ma
harajah. We can't match this, we will
frankly confess. But we affirm our en-
tire belief that in the new carpets for
the coming season we have many that
will fascinate ladies many times more
fascinating than this Mohammedan
belle.

Lewin,s SANITY.

Abe Levin, the crank who has been
tormenting the newspaper offices with
articles and alleged contracts for adver-
tising for the last two weeks, was arrested
yesterday and taken to the county jail.
His brother, who is employed in Levy q
clothing house, complained that the
young mans insanity had taken violent
form, and that he had make a fierce at
tack upon him. levin was taken before
the Commission of Insanity several days
ago. and was committed to the care OF the
Sisters Hospital. He managed to make
his escape, and was more annoying than
ever in the reporters rooms at the va
rious papers. He was frequently thrown
out in the street, but this seemed to have
no effect upon his persistency. He will
be examined again for insanity, and will
probably be put under the charge of the
authorities at Stockton.
