THE father of young Trenck, who
was recently hanged by mob in Jack
san county. proposes to offer areward of
$500 for the arrest of the murderers of
his son, but is advised that it would not
be safe for him to 90 to Jackson county
to post tho bills. This is a fine illustra-
ton of the lawless condition that exists
down there. So far as known, the local
authorities have not lifted finger to-
wards arresting any of the mob that did
the lynching. They should have offered
q reward and set the machinery of local
justice actively at work to arrest the
murderers, but instead of that they do
nothing, and when the father of the
murdered man proposes to post bills Of
fering a reward for the murderers he is
warned that it would not be safe for
him to go there. Is jackson county in
Indiana or Dahomey?

A "REMINISCENCES.

The Washington dispatch announc-
ing that President Cleveland has APP
proved the deeds of the leased lands in
the Indian Territory formerly occupied
by the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians
recalls the contest in the House which
ended in the incorporation of the claim
in the Indian appropriation bill. When
the matter came up in the House. Mr..
Cannon sent to the Secretary of the In
terror for his views regarding the just
ness of the claim. He wrote a long let
ter, in which he gave the opinion that
the claim was not a good one. and also
reasons for his belief. 1t was claimed
that number of lobbyists had taken
the claim to prosecute upon an agree
ment that they should have % per cent.
of the face of the claim If it
should be carried through Congress. As
the amount of 1t was nearly three mil
lion dollars, the fee was large one.
AS chairman of the appropriations
committee, Mr.. Cannon protested
against the measure ard read the letter
taken when the House was thin and
when the friends of the scheme were
all present. it was carried. General
Harrison had to sign the Indian appro-
priation bill with the clause in it to pre-
vent a special session, but when the
matter of the transfer came up he re-
fused to sign the papers. Thus the
matter rested from the summer of 1891
until q few days ago. when Mr.. Cleve-
land complied with the demand of the
lobby and signed the papers, which
will enable the lobby TO get nearly S4,-
100000 on a claim which is regarded by
men who are thoroughly familiar with
the transaction as no better than an
out-and-out steal. And yet this is her

A TIMELY SANITARY SUGGESTION.

The State Board of Health, at ITS meet
ing of Thursday, recommended city
councils to pass an ordinance by which
it shall be unlawful for any person to
throw garbage of any kind into any
street, alley or other public place, or to
permit the accumulation of filth upon
any lot or the flow into any lot of any
kind of noxious liquids; and, further.
that any health officer or marshal shall
have power TO enter any private lot for
the purpose of examining its condition.
and if il is found to contain n nuisance
the owner must at once abate it. but
should he neglect to do SO it shall be
abated at the expense of the owner of
the property. This suggestion to city
and town councils is timely one. Tho
ordinance which the State Board of
Health hns suggested should be adopted
at once, not for the present season, but
for all time. In this city there are
hundreds of just such nuisances as are
specified. They are not only offensive
to people who reside in the vicinity. but
are disease breeders. Scores of such
nuisances have been complained Of to
the city Board of Health, but its officers
explain nonaction on the ground that
the ordinances do not authorize them to
proceed against filthy stables and like
nuisances which are SO near to houses
that they are not only disagreeable. but

story that extortionate prices were be-
ing charged for all accommodations has
had ITS Effect, the quarrels OF the local
directory and board of national commits
sloners have created bad impression:
but. after all, these are mere incidents,
and should not be considered for more
than they are really worth. The fact
remains that the fair is there. that it is
open and in running order, and that,
even though all exhibits are not in
place. there is so much to be seen that
eyes and mind become weary and
the sightseer becomes Indifferent to adj
ditional displays. The weather, cool as
1t is, has its advantages, as visitors who
wait till July will discover; the "extor-
tions" are mostly imaginary, and the
quarrels of the managers do not con-
Germ the people outside. All they have
to do is to look at t.ne great exhibit that
mas been prepared for them and to
profit by it IN a thousand ways, as they
cannot fail to do. They will never. in
al probability. see again so great n col
lection of the worlds riches in SO
artistic setting.

a menace 10 the health of tho occupants.
Local boards of health, if they have not
power to abate such nuisances, are of
comparatively little use. The larger
part OF indianapolis has outgrown the
struggling village era of development,
and for that reason it's sanitary rceula-
tions should be made to conform to such
as are found necessary for the health of
thickly If not densely populated COM
munities. IL what the health officers
give as reasons for not suppressing
nuisances on private premises are valid.
then the City Council should enact the
ordinance suggested by the State Board
of Health. If there are matters so i'm
portant as to demand midnight meetings
this filth nuisance ia one of them.

THE Liverpool journal of Commerce
contains a handsome editorial notice of
Mr.. Il. III. Sherman, who, after serving
as United States consul there for four
years. has had to give way to Demo-
crat. "When it is considered says the
paper referred to, "that about one third
of the total foreign trade of the. United
States is transacted with the United
Kingdom, and that Liverpool is by far
the most important port in this country
as far as the trade with the great Re-
public is concerned. the value of an
able, courteous and painstaking United
States consul at Liverpool will be rccog-
nized to be very great indeed, and to
say that Mr.. Sherman entirely fulfilled
all the conditions which business men
wished for in q consul is bnt to state in
the bnrest language what Is a, generally
admitted fact" Of course, the Demo-
Gratis are entitled to the place, but they
ought not to pretend that in removing
such officials as Mr.. Sherman TO make
places for Inexpe rienced persons they
are reforming the consular service.

MONEY LOST BY HAsTY ACTION.

Yesterday morning the Journal stated
should prove the judgment of Controller
Woollen right or wrong in pushing the
six.hundred- and-twenty- one thousand
dollar refunding bonds of the city to a
hasty sale after one days advertising,
and expressed the belief that he was
making mistake in doing so. One
days time has been sufficient to demon
strate that it was O mistake. At least
two propositions better than the best
one offered and accepted would have
been put in had sufficient time for prep
aration and sufficient publicity been
given to tho event.
Hon. w. III. English declares that he
would have offered premium, while
the offer accepted was par. and Mr..
English is q man of his word. Mr..
English appeared at the Controllers
Office a few minutes late, and his
effort to put in bid was de-
clared out of order. 1t usually requires
u day or two to arrange to produce as
uuCH Us GUVO,VVU cdSii, cNcu iOT mau
of Mr.. English's ample resources. and it
seems to the Journal that the city au-
thorities should have given every pos
sible opportunity for competition in
matter of such Importance.
But Mr.. English was not the only bid
der cut off by the undue haste of the au-
thorities. One of the strongest banking
houses in the East heard of the offer
only yesterday, and telegraphed here
an assurance that if the sale could
be postponed day or two it
would put in q more liberal bid
than any other in the field. APP
parently. the Controller has been
i'll advised about "a panicky money
market" that does not exist. There
seems to have been q heap of unfortu-
nate laundering on these bonds all the
way through. Some months ago. when
the Controller had a proposition for
them at less than per cent. it was de-
feated in the Council by bit of trick
cry. Had it been accepted the city
would have been ahead several thousand
