entirely case of mistaken id entity. He
claims to be able to prove complete ALT at

HEARD NOTHING OF IT
GRESHAM NOT INFORMED ON THE
ISAAC p. GRAY STORY.
Cleveland's Chief Cabinet Omcer In
the ~City-TariR Bill Out of Sem
ate on Saturday.

Secretary of State Gresham arrived in
the city yesterday from a visit to his
mother, in Harrison county, and is the
guest of Addison C. Harris. at the latter's
residence on North Meridian street. He has
been taking things rather easily for a week
or so, and said last evening that he had
not read a newspaper to-day, and did not
even know what was going on at Wash
ington. He believed, however, that the
tariff bill would be out Of the Senate by
Saturday, and, in a iocular conversation
regarding the workings of the income tax,
said that feature affected the incomes of
Cabinet officers the same as those of peo-
pie in private life.
When asked concerning a report that Min
lister Isaac Pussy Gray was in bad odor
down in Mexico. the Secretary said he had
heard nothing of ii. He added that there
was nothing in the story. so far as he
knew Secretary Gresham leaves at 8 o'clock
this afternoon for Washington.
A. 4. Manning, who is employed in Coun-
ty Clerk Wilson's office, was hunting him
yesterday. Manning, who is colored, wants
to be minister to Liberia, and visited Wash
ington some time ago in mis- own interest.
He saw Secretary Gresham at that time,
and will probably take an opportunity to
press his claims for the office before the
Secretary gets away from Indianapolis To-
day. The latter remarked last evening that
he really had very little to do with these
appointments.

to get almost anything she would ask for
In the convention. But we have no oandi-

the convention next year. Indianapolis
could have secured the league convention
last year by asking for ii, as the State has
always taken an active interest in the

THE RETURN OF THE MILITIA.

AS Governor Matthews did not hesitate to
requested hin to do so and the situation
plainly required it, so he loses no time in
ordering them home as soon rs circum-
stances justify 1T. The force in the field
was considerably reduced during the past
fortnight, but it was not till yesterday that
the Governor felt justified in ordering the
last of the troops home. All organized OPP
position to law having disappeared and
danger of violence having passed, this can
now be done with safety, and it was right
that it should be done without delay.
The experience has been valuable and in
structive. 1t has demonstrated the loyalty
Of the militia, their good organization and
the excellence of the arrangements for
mobilizing them in case Of need. 1t Is to be
hoped that such necessity may occur very
rarely. but when it does occur it is neces-
sary to be prepared for IT. The question o:
expense is not TO be considered for a mo-
ment in comparison with the enforcement
of law. Suppose ii has cost the State $4,000
to nip in the bud the violent outbreaks thar
threatened to override the law and dis
grace the commonwealth. The State would
better have spent 500, 600 or 100000 in en-
forcing the law than TO let it go abroad
that there was no power in the State to dc
so. The next outbreak would probably have
been more serious and defiant. Now every
body throughout the length and breadth
of the State. and. indeed. throughout the
country. knows that there is a power be-
hind the law in Indiana that insures its
enforcement. The moral effect of this DEM
onstration will be worth far more TO the
State than il has cost.
The conduct of the. militis has been such
as to bring credit upon themselves and the
State, and IT is eminently fitting that they
should receive some token of public APP
proval.

AFTER REILLEY,s JOB.
Democratic Committee Meeting Called

Date of the Convention.
The Democratic State central committee
will make an attempt next Tuesday to
pull itself out of the lethargy which has
seized Ii and the party generally. A meet
ing Of the committee has been called for
that day. Part of the work before the
committee will be to persuade candidates
to allow their names to go before the State
convention, which is to be held Aug. Is.
The main trouble, however. which the
committee will confront will be that which
Joseph l.. Reilley's true Democratic greed
has saddled on the committee. Kelley has
a two-thousand-dolar job in the pSnsi0n
office, good for several years yet. and at
the same time is drawing a salary of
N,S00 a year as secretary Of the State com
m to be the eI par fSnle cand Mdln ' foS A ne wan of
State. Kelley has practically done no
work as secretary. and as the party will be
loud howl against paying Kelley such a
salary. There is also a clamor for his job
as secretary. 1t pays more than is usually
paid State secretaries.
An effort will also be made to have the
date of the convention changed to Septem-
Der so that 1t will come at least a month
after Congress adjourns. The leaders OF
the party see the absolute Righteousness Of
drafting a platform on what the party has
a month to find some small plank left from
Chairman Taggart and his confreres haVe
been vainly trying to scare candidates out
of the woods, and it is expected that the
committee will take some drastic measure
to just make 'em run. No one has, as yet,
been found willing to make the race for
Secretary of State. but the committee is
insisting that w. r. Myers. the present
Secretary, must take the nomination. else
he will be turned down in his -gubernatorial
aspirations two years from now. e
The other candidates found so far are:
For Auditor of State. Joseph p. Tanning
and Joseph l.. Kelley, of indianapolis, and
John l.. Cohen, of Crawfordsville; Attor-
ney-general, Marion Griffith, Of Veyay;
Clerk of the Supreme Court, c. w. Well
man. of Sullivan, Jerome Herf, of Peru.
and S. NJ. Briscoe, OF Hartford City; SUI
perintendent of Public Instruction, w. III.
Glascock, of Greenfield; State Geologist, w.
j. S. Jordan. of S~helbyville.
TIL committee was relying upon Henry
Berghoff, of Fort Wayne, TO accept the
nomination for State Treasurer, but since
he has declared that the only remedy for
hard times is the return of the Republican
party to power it is hardly probable he will
be placed on the ticket.

Supreme Court of Alabama with a decision
that the human soul has no legal existence.
The case was that of a person who died In
Mobile and bequeathed $1,000 to be expend-
ed in masses for his soul by a certain
church. His heirs contested the will and
were beaten in the lower court, but the
Supreme Court holds that the bequest was
void in that there was no living beneficiary
of the trust intended to be created; that
the soul of a dead person could not be a
beneficiary. being a nonenity in the con-
temptation of the law. That would have
been a great point for the dialecticians OF
the middle ages to wrangle over. 1t is to
be observed. however. that the Georgia

grounds.
