A LOST interesting dispute has arisen
between Ohioa and Indiana over the state
line. 1t is reported that a surveying
party sent out by the government for
the purpose of locating the boundary
line, will report that the true line makes
a strip of Indiana 2G0 miles long and on
an average Of six miles wide within the
boundaries Of Ohio. In this strip are
the cities Of Fort Wayne, Richmond and
Union City, and a population of about
100000. The story is that when Ohio
was made a state the post traders were
doing a very lucrative business with the
Indians at Fort Wayne and Richmond.
They found that the line would place
these posts IN Ohio and thus destroy
their trade, so they quietly bribed the
survey party to leave them on the Indi-
ana side.

BERLIN bankers seem to be endowed
With many of the qualifications of their
brethren of Philadelphia Late disclos-
ures, reported by telegraph, are of pro-
ceedings very similar to those INDUCED
in by some Quaker city iinanciers, who
were, if not exactly protected in their
crooked ways by treasury officials, at
least permitted to carry on their crimi-
nal speculations under the noses of bank
examiners. For q long time the Berlin
bankers, whose operations seem to have
precipitated the recent panic in that
city, have been guilty of the crosses,
mismanagement Of funds entrusted tc
their care. The information is giyer
that they had been practically bank
rupt for more than a score of years anl
yet were not called TO an accounting by
constituted authority. They were per.
mitted to accept money on deposit anC
squander it for personal qualification
until the crisis came.

Missionary Efforts In Africa

Islam and Christianity, or Arab and
European rule and their attendant evils.
namely, the slave trade and the traffic in
drink respectively, have resulted in the
adoption of very much the same methods of
propagandism and conquest. But, in their
effect on the pagan populations, Islam and
Arab rule have succeeded in places where
Christianity and European rule have failed.
The main reason of such relative SUCCESS
ana failure appear to be: a. because
Islam, now so long established as to be viz
tually an indigenous force, has been able
to rapidly assimilate the conquered peo-
pleB and raise them up to it's standard,
whilst Christianity, an alien force, with
insufficient material power behind it, de-
mnnds of the natives IN impossible stand
ard: and C2) because Arab rule is suited to
the conditions Of life in Tropical Africa,
whilst European rule, which has been in
consistent with the teaching of ia pioneer
missionaries, has introduced social
revolutions, followed by moral degra-
dation OF the most far-reaching
character. AT the same time it is evident

WITH a majority of $50 in the. next
house of representatives the democrats
should exercise more than usual discre-
ton in the choice Of a speaker. The
man who presides over that body
should be thoroughly experienced in
parliamentary proceedings, a tariff re.
former, and one possessed of a COO
temperament and firm decision. The
odious record left by ex-Speaker Reed
makes it additionally important that
the next speaker should carry out the
provisions of the office in the fairest
sense.

THE high-fenced dignity surrounding
a militiaman over in Washington, is
even more ridiculously absurd than the
recent parade of Gen. Grubb's New Jer-

Sometime ago n feathered dignitary

The campaign just closed was quite
prolific of libel suits. Not to mention
one near at home, there was the suit Of
%Ignatius Donnelly against the Pioneer
Press; Gov. Campbell, of Ohio, is also
credited with having ordered the insti-
tuition Of suits against newspapers who
maliciously wronged him, and now
comes a New York senator, Vedder by
name, who proposes to bring suits for
SANDER and defamation of character
against Gov. Hill, of New York, for ut
terances while the contest was raging at
its height. Libel suits growing out of
the animosities Of politics are seldom
profitable.

Tall Girls,

II lie the fashion for girls to be tall. This
ia much more than saying that tall girls are
the fashion. 1t means not only that the
tall girl has come in, but that girls are tall.
and are becoming tall, because 1t is the
fashion, and because there is a demand for
that sort of girl. There is no hint of stout-
ness, indeed the willowy pattern is pre-
ferred, but neither is leanness suggested;
the women of the period have get hold of
the poets idea, tall and most divinely
fair" and are living up to it. Perhaps this
change in fashion is more noticeable in
England and on the continent than in
America, but that may be because there
is less room for change in America, our
girls being always of an aspiring turn.
Very marked the phenomenon 10 in Eu-
rope this year; on the street, at any
concert or reception, the number of tall
girls il so large as to occasion remark, espe-
oially among the young girls just coming
into the conspicuousness of ~womanhood.
Tho tendency of the new generation is
towards unusual height and gracious slim
ness. The situation would be embarrass-
ing to thousands of men who have been too
busy to think about growing upward, were
it not for the fact Chat the tall girl. who
must be looked up to. is almost invariably
benignant, and bears her height with a
sweet timidity that disarms fear. Besides,
the tall girl has now come on in such force
that confidence is infused into the growing
army, and there is q sense OF support in
this survival of the tallest that is very en-
couraging to the young.-Charles Dudley
Warner, in the Editors Drawer, in Harper's
Magazine for November. #f

for the best candidates without reference

cast their votes for the Democratic
ticket.
BY whatever standard Of excellence

honest, decent and patriotic citizens
must be in favor of the Democratic
ticket. The character, standing, intelT

commissioners Of police are a sufficient
guarantee that the force retained an,
appointed by them will be efficient an,

DISEASED THROUGHOUT.

AS the Republican party has promised
and betrayed the negroes, so it has
promised and betrayed the white people
Of this city.
The present city administration is tbs
product Of the reforms promised by tbs
Republican managers three years ago
when the managers included better
material than they include now.
OF what advantage has it been to the
city to defeat DOugherty and put in
Harrington
OF what advantage has it been to the
city TO put out the former police force
and put in lot OF Republican workers.
II is thus that the Republican party
always reforms. It's best men have
left II, It has lost it's virtue, outlived its
usefulness, Is dead at the top and rotten
throughout it's whole decrepid body II
cannot cure others because it Is tainted
with corruption.
The Republican party was formed as
an anti. slavery party and continued as q
war party That work being done. it
became a spoils party.
Like the magnificent phslanxes OF
triumphant Rome, who, after conquering
the world, came back to idleness,
rRpine, plumber, disgraceful and enervat-
ing camp life to set up q Nero and q
Heliogsbalus, the Republican party ia
corrupted by public debauchery. Having
no war and no issue, the Republican
party like the PretOrian guard, exists
only by the cohesive power of public
plunder. As the Pretorian guard de.
msnded sss ertium for the 'Emperorship,
so the Republican party now demands
high tariffs, subsidies, pensions, offices,
anything and everything that will give
them money rewards for patriotism.
The party here is no worse ane no
better than the party anywhere and
everywhere else.
1t Is no different from any other body
Of men started by such men as Lincoln,
Sumner, Chase, Greeley, Curtis and Pal
mer, which after accomplishing its aims
has fallen into the hands of Quay, Dud
ley, Harrison, Tanner, Raum, Wana
maker and men whose purposes are at
best selfish and avarlcious, II not dis
gusting and dangerous.
As it Is in national affairs so it is in
local affairs. There are Bach and
Colquhoun to do actual work; Hastings
and Sperry to stand off and pray while

fellows to distribute.
