The opening of the big gas well in Pike
county is probably only the beginning of
the development of a large field in that
quarter of the State, and extensive indus
ern half of the State has such a variety
Of mineral wealth that the seeming limi-
tation of the gas field to the northern di-
vision did not suggest an inequality in the
natural apportionments. but every one will
reioise that the lower counties are to
share the advantages of this cheap and
convenient fuel.

Indianapolis is ready to receive the new
street-railway management in a friendly
spirit, and is not at all disposed to indulge
in unreasonable fa~ultfinding. Whether or
not this friendliness continues depends en-
tirely on the management itself. If it car
ries out its reported intention of running
the business for what there is in it," with
5-cent fares and few Improvements for the
next four years, then the public may be
heard from. A disposition to make rea-
sonable concessions and a realization that
the good will of the public will have much
to do with the renewal of it's franchise
should nave a wholesome effect on the char
acter of the service.

POLICE HAVE A MYSTERY.
Singular Disappearance of the Body
of an Infant.

Yesterday morning a young man fishing
in Eagle creek, near where the two Eagle
creeks come together. discovered lying on
the bank the dead body of a newly-born
infant. He told two men whom he met
about it and they agreed to notify the po-
lice. Last night the young man went TO
the police station and finding that no word
of the case had been received, informed the
police himself. Frank Blanchard, the coun-
ty undertaken, sent out for the body. The
Young man accompanied the wage and es-
corted the undertaken to the spot where
he had seen the body. 1t was gone and
the case is now shrouded in mystery. The
police will make an investigation to-day.

The action of the enate in passing the
bill appropriating 81, 100000 for 81 new pub
lie building in this city makes it almost
certain that it will become a law, if not
during the present session of Congress at
the regular one, which will convene in De-
cember. The necessity of the building is
generally conceded. and the appropriation
would have been made before now had the
government finances been in better shape.
The erection of a government building of
that class will add materially to the arch
itectural attractions of the city.

An Ohio judge recently cited an editor
before him for contempt in writing an ar
ticle rejecting upon his court and imposed
a line of 500 with ten days Imprisonment
court held that the article was not con-
temptuous because it. did not relate to a
case pending, and further, that newspaper
publications, however libelous of a judge
they may be, do not constitute contempt of
court so long as they do not relate TIC a
case pending. In other words. contempt of
a judge is not always contempt of court.

The testimony of Bank Examiner Prem
tiss of Illinois regarding the defunct Globe
Savings Bank shows that, first and last, he
wrote more than thirty letters to the State
auditor complaining of the banks methods
and insisting on reforms, but his letters re-
ceived no attention. In one of his reports
he called the attention of the aduitor to
Governor Altgeld's loan from the bank of
more than S45, 600, which was more than
twice the legal limit. The only reply he got
was Governor Altgeld is a friend of the
bank Finally the auditor told the exam
iner that his further connection with the
office would be embarrassing, and that the
Governor did not like him anyhow. AT that
the examiner resigned. There should be
some law for furnishing a state auditor who
would treat the reports of a bank examiner
in that manner.

Now, If the good, kind House will have
the grace to pass the Indianapolis public
building bill which has just gone through
the Senate, this city will rejoice nightly.
The postoffice outgrew its present quarters
years ago, and it's business, which has over
run into adjacent buildings, has been con-
Quoted at a great disadvantage and with
the outlay of extra labor. The pension
office has been crowded out into rented
offices, and the Federal Court and it's Off
GERS are cramped for room. A new build
ing is badly needed, and it is gratifying to
know that the Senate has been convinced
of the fact. A fine public building will add
greatly to the attractions of Indianapolis,
and though this is a minor point compared
with the needs of the various federal
branches of the service, it is proper matter
for local congratulation. The House is an
uncertain quantity on the question of ap-
propriations, and it is not safe to be unduly
joyous at this stage, but with success APP
parently in sight, citizens may be expected
to engage at once in discussions over the
best location for the coming ediice.

Effort Being Made to Have England Re-
open the Indian Minis.
LONDON, July 12.-The American
monetary commissioners are still Ia
boring earnestly to secure some tangi-
BILE concession from the British gov
eminent toward the enlarged use of
silver. The continental powers, as
known all along, except Germany, are
willing to reopen tine question of BIZ
metallism on its merits as a con-
terence Germany will follow the
lead of England. Salisbury will
consent to send delegates to
such a conference, if the United States
and other countries persist in the re-
they can get nothing else, will proba-
bly, seize this empty concession and
make the most of it. Such confer
ence, however. as the British govern
ment plainly intimates, would be a
mere farce, and even more bar
rem of results than the Brussels
fiasco. The British delegates would
have the same instructions as then,
and nothing could be accomplished.
The present efforts of the American
commissioners are devoted to an ell
deavor to secure the consent of Great
Britain to reopen the Indian minis
The silver advocates are confident the
reopening of the Indian minis would
advance the price of the white metal
fully Is per cent. md thus give a big
boom to silver agitation in the United
States. London, of course, is the key
to the whole situation, and no efforts
