INDIANAPOLIS has reason to feel more
than proud of the display made yester-
day by organized labor. The spectacle
of thousands of young men, well dressed,
fine looking, quiet and orderly, march
ing in line to do honor to toll, to honest,
every day work. was one to be remem-
bered for years. They sometimes call
Indianapolis an "overgrOwn village"
Let us be thankful it is like village in
the one respect that there is less of So
cial caste, less of the pride of wealth,
more of equality and mutual respect
among the people here than in any other
large city in the country. There was no
class in indianapolis to whom the mag
nifcent demonstration yesterday struck
terror, nobody to fear that it meant a
Social uprising" or a revolution"
Nearly everybody who viewed the long
procession saw in the ranks familiar
faces of men he is in the habit of meet
ing in everyday life, men he knows to
be as good and loyal citizens as he can
possibly be, men who have families and
homes to protect-in short, men who
have as much at stake in maintaining
law and order as any man in the city.
Is it any wonder that organized labor
has been able to accomplish SO much in
Indianapolis when it is made up of men
of this character? The people know
them and have confidence in them as an
element of strength and safety. instead
of regarding them as sign of discon-
tent and vague danger.

UNDER the law the Postmaster general
has the power to fix the fee on regis
tered letters. The present fee is ten
cents. With a view of ascertaining
<.Aether it can safely be reduced, Post
master general Wanamaker has written
every postmaster in the country asking
him to forward q statement showing the
number of letters registered ut each Of
fec during the year. When this infor-
nation has been collected and tabulated
it will serve as basis for figuring on q
reduction. Dir. Wanamaker seems to be
man of ideas.

THE idea of General Malone that the
Republicans of Virginia should make
no effort in that State next year, because
the Democrats. have the election ma
chinery and can count them out, is criti-
csed by Republicans in as we'll as out of
the State. There are as many Repub-
licans as Democrats in Virginia. and, on
the question of protection, they could
carry the State if fair election could
be secured. If it cannot, the fight
should be made, all the same.

There is another fact about the recent
action of the German government that
should be borne in mind. The resembling
order has not come in spite OF the McKin-
ley bill. but mainly on account of il.
The negotiations were expedited by the
fact that the administration had tho
power TO retaliate if Germany should refuse
TO recognize the rights OF American farm
ers. That country finds in the United
States q market for SIC 0O00O0 worth of
beet sugar every year. and the prospect
of losing that or any part of il. no doubt
made the kaiser's government more ready
To accede tn the just requests of the Amer
ican government. Looked at from every
stand point. the resembling order is a vie
tory for the farmers and for the Republican
party. IL IS only one of the many victories
won by the Republican party IN the inter-
est of the producing classes OF the United
States.

nothing else. The Journal, at the outset,
said the board was far from an ideal
one. and added that it was disappoint-
ing, but it was so much in favor of the
new system that it determined to sustain
it in all that it did which had any pos
sible merit. 1t was silent while it met,
week after week, doing nothing, and
even when its dilly -dallying lost the
city the possible advantage of a Compel
ing street-railway company for part of
the city. and when it failed to make
contracts for the cheap lighting of the
city. In fact, it stood by the board I'M
til it showed that it had no other capaci-
ty than to insult citizens, ignore the ap-
peals of those who had a right to be
heard, and had become the plant tool of
the street-railway nagnates. In this
regard the action of the Journal has been
like that of hundreds of citizens, as the
Sentinel will learn when the votes shall
be counted. People have no confidence
in its capacity to serve the public.

fiation of the circulation has caused money
TO flow TO this city from the interior in
liberal volume for some weeks past, whilst,
judging from the continued high premium

Still, considering the probabilities to be in
favor of an early end Of exports
of gold and of continued receipts of
money from other cities, the nom
realization of these probabilities would pro-
duce disappointment which might seri-
ously affect the money market and cause a
free selling of securities. The "bears" are
perhaps over-djscounting that adverse
chance, and the consequent over-solid oon-
dition Of the stock market is the mainstay
OF prices at the moment. Prudent opera
tors, however. will defer large transactions
on slim margins until the future drift of
market influences becomes more apparent.
In the meantime there is no abatement of
the splendid prospects of our crops, and all

tional traffic for the railroads, so that the
intrinsic value of au important range Of

ONE KISS BEFORE PAR TING.

ess Astonished a Shopman.
From the Sheffield Telegraph
A lady of fashion had been lettering for
nearly an hour in q fashionable music shop
recently. She had purchased copy of
nearly every piece of music that had q
sentimental title and had sent out 70 her
carriage a whole portmanteau full Of "love"
going through every mood of the feeling,
their example when she paused upon the
step as If meditating whether she should
take it or some other step that was evidently
turning itself over in her mind.
The shopmau, who had been somewhat
moved by the tender tone of voice in which
she had asked him, "Wilt thou love me
then as nowp watched her with an anxiety
that betrayed itself too plainly in the ad-
justment Of his shirt collar and the arrange
ment of his hair. Suddenly the lady seemed
resolved. as with one bound she cleared the
pavement, and breathless, pale, her auburn
ringlets fiuttering in the wind, stood once
more before the admiring shopman.
II had nearly forgotten" she said, in a
voice that seemed to veil her blushing
words; dear dear 1 cannot tell where my
head is today l come back to ask you il
new courage; whilst the trembling shopman
posted his two thumbs elegantly on the
mahogany counter, and leant his body in
quiringly forward-'to ask you to be kind
enough to give me one kiss before part
ing"
"M,a-a-d-a-mp exclaimed the astonished
shop man.
81 want you" repeated the marchioness,
''to let me have one kiss before parting
one will do, if you please"
She raised her beautiful blue eyes full
upon his, and uet them boldly and I'M
blushingly. She then, without betraying
any emotion, repeated her question, adding,
as calmly as possible. eff you cannot give
| it me now, | will call some other time"
He could doubt no longerl Springing
over the counter, he seized hold of the lady's
fair form, and then and there gave the kiss
she SO earnestly begged for previous to de-
parture. To his great establishment, the
only return the lady gave was box on the
ears This was followed by a volley OF
blows dealt by her parasol over bis head
which was accompanied with an equal num-
Der of shrieks, that never terminated till
the police came into the shop.
The affair was carried to the nearest
| police court, but was soon dismissed upon
| its being explained that zone Kiss Before
| Parting" was the name of a song which the
unsophisticated shopman, blisefully green
| from his native fields, and nevsr heard Of
before. 1t is favorite joke afterward &C
ask the lady whenever she was at the piano
il she would mind giving just Zone Kiss

FIGHT WITH AN EAGLE
That Eas Been Making Serious II
roads on Farmers Flock.

MECHANICsBURG, o., June 7.-Ebon
Legge, farmer of this township, had an
exciting battle with monster bald eagle
to-day. For quite awhile there has been a
continual disappearance of lambs. This
morning while the farmer was out among
his herds his attention was called to
the frightened actions Of the sheep,
which were running in all direc-
tions. Presently he noticed a monster
bald eagle swoop down and seize a
large lamb and attempt to fly away with it.
The eagle arose to quite a hight, but its bur
den was so heavy that it gradually settled
back to the earth, still clutching Its prey.
The farmer attacked the eagle with a club
and dispatched it. 1t fought him madly,
using its claws freely. 1t is the largest ever
killed in this section and measured eight
and a half feet from tip to tip.
