SOCIAL FESTIVITIES .

The two ladies' societies connected with
Hope Evangelical Church gave an enter
tainment and supper at the residence of
Mr.. N. Taft on Pennsylvania Avenue last
Friday evening. 1t was of a very inter
esting and pleasing nature.
The entertainment consisted of recita-
tions, tableaux and music, and all did
credit to themselves.
There was large audience present, and
a very nice sum was realized and the soci-
cites tender their thanks to Mr. and Mrs
N Taft for their kind hospitality.
Following is a description of the enter
tainment:
The tableau which represented Mr..
Taft in the character of Uncle Sam astride
bicycle spinning around the world took
the audience by storm; the tableau Lost
and Found Valentine" was very novel
and pleasing, Floyd Fitzpatrick dressed as
darky boy, representing the 4" Lost Val
entine," and Misses Nettie Cory and Jen-
ME Sampson representing them encircled
with flowers and wreaths; the tableau,
Nearer My God to Thee" was represented
by Agnes Wilkin, clinging to the cross,
Floyd Kilpatrick's head resting upon the
stone, and Luella Prescott and Hazel
Hornbeck representing the angels, the
first verse of " Nearer My God to Thee"
was sung at distance by Misses Mary
Cole and Maggie Hilferty.
The entertainment ended with a song,
"The Birthday of Washington, Our Hon
ored.
SUPPER AT EPwoRTH CHURCH.
The annual supper given by the gentle
men, connected with Epworth Church took
place on Tuesday evening The tables
were loaded down with good things to eat.
The gentlemen with their white aprons,
and white caps on their heads, made quit 9
a merry scene. They attended to all the
wants of their friends all attention was
shown them. This supper 1 think was
the finest one ever given by the gentlemen.
Friends from our sister city across the way
were at the church, and enjoyed the sup
per We congratulate the gentlemen of
the church upon giving such fine supper.
A nice sum was realized. Supper was
only 10 cents, and every thing was of the
very best We wish these suppers would
take place quite often.
AN APRON AND NEcKTIE SOCIAL.
The Christian Endeavor Society con
nected with Epworth Church gave an
Apron and Necktie Social on Friday eve
ming, at the residence or Mr.. and Mrs. Irv-
ing Hunt ON Adams street. It was quite
a merry affair and made a great deal OF
amusement. The gentleman that pur-
chased tie had to take lady to supper,
providing she had on the apron correspond
ing with the tie he bought. Sometimes it
happened all right, then again 1t would
not, somebody's girl got the wrong gentle
man and then again the girl would get
some other gentleman that belonged TO
some one else. 1t was quite mixed up
affair all around, but no one got offended
every one was In the best of spirits Re
freshInents were served for the small price
Of 10 cents. A great many were in at

MIR .uANNAs COMMISSION.

When Mr. II. H. Hanna got up the In
dianapols Monetary Convention some six
months back. he had an opportunity 70
do his country a great service. But MT.
Hanna is like the rest of the generation
that has grown up since the war with
the spectacle always before their eyes
OF the United States Government con-
trolling and managing the currency that
the people use. and his mind. like that OF
so many millions OF others. has been
cramped by this potent fact into the no
ton that the United States Government is
the rghtful and appropriate head Of our
currency system. lie organized his con-
vention, therefore. upon the conventional
lines. and had one that represented the
National Government theory, but that
was almost wholly wanting in representa-
ton OF the farmers. who are the people
that clamor FOR an amendment OF our
cursency system. The result was that the
country paid very little attention to the
convention and TO what 1t did. If, how
ever. instead Of bankers and merchants.
he had had his convention composed in
the main Of farmers. they would have told
the country that they were wholly dest-
tute OF media OF exchange, and move
ment might have been started that
promised important amendments in our
system.
Congress having ignored the Presidents
request that provision be made for a Cur
rency Commission. Mr. Hanna has carried
out the resolution OF his convention, that
provided for his appointment OF COM
mission in case Congress failed to make
provision for one and all Of his appointees.

Mr.. Edmunds is thoroughly Identified
with the idea Of the national bank system.

The Indiana HOrrnr.

Governor Mount has promptly met the
duty imposed on him 10y the brutal and
wholesale lynching at Versailles reported
yesterday. He has telegraphed the
sheriff OF the county for particulars OF the
AFFAIR, and has directed him 10 use the
fun extent OF his official power TO bring
10 justice all parties guilty OF partlcipa-
ton i'm the outrage.
IL would be idle 20 suppose that the
authorities Of the State Will not meet
with great II not insuperabIe difficulties
i'm vindlcating the supremacy of the law
I'm this case. Public sentiment I'M the lO-
cality. which is the potent reliance Of our
system Of justice, is undoubtedly on the
side OF the iynchers. The large number
Of the otherwise law-abidug citizens who
took part in the lynchng shows the
strength of this sentiment and the sever
ity of the task which the law imposes on
the authorities.
But I'm spite Of this diseased condition
of public feeling and Of the prOvOcatiOn
given by the prevalence Of unpublished
crime. the stern lesson of retributiOn is
needed. There Us no room I'm Indiana
or I'm any State for any other authority
except the authority Of established Jaw

face value In every quarter OF the Union.
and no man whose mind is blinded by that
deluslon Is ever going to make any sug-
gestion I'm connection with our currency
system that is worth moments atten-
ton.
Mr.. Fairchild IS a man OF different
stamp. lie is essentially Democrat. and
he understands. therefore. the indispensa-
bic need Of the Government having moth
ing whatever 70 do with the local affairs
Of the people. and he understands also
that the matter OF currency notes Is Just
as much a local matter as the terms
upon which deeds shall be admitted TO
record CT the rules under which local
markets are held. Mr.. Fairchiid will.
therefore, treat this subject In very
broad and liberal manner. and we may
expect n valuable contribution 70 IT from
him. But Mr.. Fairchild is at last New
York banker. and his practical view OF II
IS confined 10 his New York surroundings.
His treatment Of II will be right In theory
but he has never travelled through our
agricultural districts and mingled with
the farmers IN their homes, so that he
could learn their absolute restitution IN
the matter Of media OF exchange. We do
not look. therefore. for much that is prac-
teal from Mr.. Fairchild As for tho other
members Of the commission. We know
nothing about them. but It IS safe to say
that. coming upon the commission from
the quarter that appoints them. their
leaning will not be very far away from
the essentials Of national bank currency
as now existing.
We have seen IL stated indeed. that IN
forming his commission Mr.. Hanna has
been governed more by a desire TO get
something through Congress. whatever it
may be. than TO get the right thing
through. We cannot help thinking It very
unfortunate that he has acted upon this
idea, II. indeed he has acted upon #.
Makeshifts and experiments are not go
ing 10 DO the slightest good. The root Of
the owl is in the Government Of the
United States interfering with the subject
at all. and undertaking 20 dictate 20 the
people Of Dickinson or any other county
the terms upon which the people OF means
In Dickinson county shall do a banking
business, and shall afford the people OF
that locality the conveniences that they
need I'm their transactions with each other
for carrying on those transactions. The
trouble lies right there. and nothing will
be done 10 alleviate the trouble in the
least until the hand OF the national Gov
eminent is wholly and entirely withdrawn.
Mr.. Hanna's commission will. therefore
die still-born, because its members do not
recognize this cardinal fact. II they did
they might fail TO get any legislation from
the next session Of Congress. but they
might lay the foundations for the legis-
lation that is needed at no distant day.
