Ex- Gov William Ii. English, of
Indiana, who ran on the National
Democratic ticket with the late Gen.
Hancock in 1850, is In Washington
searching among tie archives Of the
government for materials to be used in
a history of Indiana upon which lie is
engaged at the request of The surviv-
ing members of the convention which
was held in 1850, to revise the stake
constitution. Mr. English looks little
if amy older than he did ten years ago,
and it is certain that his history OF In
diana viii prove Il valuable addition to
political literature. Mr. English is no
stranger. i'll Washington. having bt Ell
i department clerk here during the
Folk administration.
Mr.. Blaine has again gbt himself
into hot water. 1t has been all. along
expected by his party workers i!iat he
would go to Representative Mckinley 5
district and make several speeches in
that &c gcn.leman's behalf, but "a day or
two ago Mr.. Blaine stated that he re-
GREETED that pressing business would
prevent his leaving Washington, as
much as lie would like TO help Mir. Me-
kinley, etc. This heated the blood of
tie Mckinley Republicans, and they
have ever since been standing ON end
and hurting ugly epithets at Mr..
Blaine's head. They ask how could
Mr.. Blaine leave Washington for
three months with Congress in session
as he did this summer without en-
dangering the welfare of the govern
ment, if he cannot now get away for a
single week? They charge that Mr..
Blaine wishes to see Mr. Mckinley de-
feated, fearing that if he is elected he
will be his rival for the Presidential
nomination in 1892. In fact they are
charging so much against Mr.. Blaine
| that he will probably he glad to re-
consider his determination about 60
ling to Ohio in order TO stop it; but
that isn't going 10 stop it. The Reed
and Mckinley Republicans have enter
ed into an offensive and defensive alli-
fance against Mr.. Blaine, which makes
the latter gentleman's chances of be-
ing nominated for President exceed
ingly slim.
Democrats and honest people gener-
| ally are mad, as they have right to
be, because the Republican United
| States District Attorney for this dis
| trict has taken no steps TO arrest
Wheat, the Republican eX-postmaster
of the House of Representatives, not
| withstauding his acknowledgement
when his attention was called to the
matter, that the crimes committed by
Wheat were punishable under the
| United States statutes by both fine
| and imprisonment No one was
tgreatly surprised when the facts leak
ed out about Speaker Reed having ad-
/ vised Wheat to return the money,
which he had crookedly obtained, 10
1.-The United States treasury, and hav-
ing helped him to keep the matter
quiet, but now that the crime has
been fastened upon Wheat and he has
lbeen dismissed i'll disgrace by the
| House of Representatives, it does eX-
cite surprise that the District Attorney
| should be derelict in performing the
duties which his oath of office entailed
upon him. Shall Il mans politics pre-
vent his being tried and punished for
having willfully violated the Laws OF
the land? It looks most decidedly
that way in this case.
I According to the annual report of
fthe Commissioners of Pensions there
are 537, ,9if pensions on the rolls of the
hgovernment, now, and more than a
half million additional applications
are ON file in his Office, and they are
4 SUN ill- k3tOtl.
of more than Il million pensioners!

The Count of Paris, vino fondly i'm

kEfance, and who was for time at
tached to Gen. -McClclland's staff dur
ing the late civil war, of which he has
written an interesting and voiumihOus
history, favored Washington with Z
Ivisit the past week. Gen. Schofieid
gave Linn Il dinner, and some of hi:
old eomFads took him down to Mt

will ''do'' him and the titled French
men who compose his party.

are trusting too much to providene'
