Lounge Manufacturers Busy.

Thomas Madden, president of the Madden
G. Sons Lounge Manufacturing Company,
states that they are now very busy, work.
ing more men than last year. and in some
departments working overtime. 1t really
begins to seem like old times the way Or
ders are coming in. as for years Indian
apolis has stood at the head as a lounge
manufacturing point The establishment
now has fully 100 on it's pay rolls. The
greatest drawbacks to the business are the
close margin on which such goods must
be manufactured and the troublesome times
to collect bills, even from the heretofore
promptest paying buyers. Mr.. Madden
thinks, except for the last-named condi-
tions, the outlook for this branch of BUSH
ness is more promising than at any time in
the last three years.

A Big Week at the stock Yards.

One Of the surprises at the indianapolis
stock yards is the large increase of late
in the number of cattle sold on this mar
ket. For years the number handled at these
yards has been favorably commented on,
but until this year the handling Of cattle
has not been up to the expectations. of the
founders of the yards or to the stock deal
ers. But of late a decided change for the
better has taken place In former years
Wednesday has been the big cattle day of
the week, and but little was done on any
other days. and cattle buyers had come to
lock upon this as the only cattle day of the
week. Now every day is cattle day, and
prices as are paid in any other Western
market. On Friday of last week over 1000
head of cattle were received, and 400 shipped
to Eastern markets on the same day.

Fa.lts Of Author.

Editorial from the Daily Nit: Our
quarrel with Marion Crawford, il We
ever do quarrel with that author, WIN
be based upon his provoking unWill-
ingness to write and publish an occa-
sional book. Having given US in the past
a-taste Of his quality, We deem 1t unfair
for Mr.. Crawford to withhold from the
reading public the fruits OF a genius
that he clearly possesses. What Mr..
Crawford ought to dove speak :s q
friend to American letters-is to write
an occasional novel. We admit that he
has done this, but the occasions have
been SO remote as to create an impress
sion that our author is lazy. With the
creative ability that Mr.. Crawford pos
sesses. with good health and . leisure
that wealth affords, why should he not
give to us more books? We brush aside
as unworthy of notice an intimation
that already he is putting forth two
volumes q year. What the American
public demands is not less than q book
q month. What is Mr.. Crawford doing
that he should play second in this re-
spect to Capt. Charles King, or that
great emotional writer, Laura Jean
Libbey?

One ON the King.

The King of Jurli Jugg smiled as he
read the message and then gazed
thoughtfully at the scrap of yellow
paper. 1t was a telegram from Grym
Deth. his Minister of War. He read
the message again:
I'VE have routed the enemy without
the loss of single man.
Two days later he found that one
thousand of his troops had been slain.
When questioned, the Minister Of War
explained that his telegram was true.
Every soldier in the army was mar
ried, and still there was surplus OF
women that had been captured from
other tribes in previous battles.

A Natural InfOrence.

Little George A paid his first Jisit
to the country short time ago, and as
was natural was much interested in
the farm and all its belongings. One
day his uncle took him to the barn to
see some chickens that were just
hatched. The process of incubation was
something which had never before come
under his observation, and he looked
with open-eyed wonder at the fluffy
chicks while his unt& tried to explain
the Matching process. All at once he
turned and rushed into the house to
his mother, exclaiming:
"Oh, mamma! come out to the barn.

fuse to do so any more. | will not be a
party to such shameful display Of low
demagogy as will be perpetrated on the
people of this country by mob styling
itself the Democracy of the nation. | do
not believe this mob is entitled to the re-
spect of any Democrat in the nation, and
do not believe that respect will be accorded
it or its action
Such was the language used by General
Bragg, veteran Democrat of Wisconsin,
on the floor of the Chicago convention on
Wednesday after careful reading of the
platform to be enuncated by the conven-
ton, and which was prepared beforehand
by Altgeld and his Populistic associates.
Now the question is very timely-will
Maryland Democrats endorse this platform
and vote for the candidates who stand on it?
The Democratic party of Maryland has
declared itself in favor of the gold standard
and sound money, and has endorsed Mr..
Cleveland's administration.
Altgeld's platform just adopted at Chi
cago, declares for free silver and free trade,
repudiates Mr.. Cleveland and his financial
policy, and practically reads him and his
followers out of the Democratic party, for
ordering the Federal troops to the defence
of Chicago, when Altgeld's friends, law
less mob of Anarchists, thugs and murder
ers, were endeavoring to destroy it,
Can Democrats in Maryland or elsewhere,
who are such from principle, endorse such
platform, or vote for the men who stand
ON it?
As the Baltimore sum- an eminently re-
spectacle and undoubtedly influential
Democratic Journal forcibly declares; at
is truly pitiable spectacle to see a ma
tional convention purporting to represent
the democratic party repudiating not only
its principles, but the greatest leader that
party has had for many years. If this is
democracy, it is a new version that is not
likely to commend itself to old fashioned
democrats. "
