indianapolis, April 19.--Herman
Boyce, a German grocer at Goshen,
Ind, has made a fad of saving pennies
for the last 20 years. The quantity
became so great that Boyce had no
safe place in which to keep them. and
he has deposited them in a bank.
There were 1900 pennies in the ac-
emulation, and the bulk of copper
was so heavy that he had to take it to
the bank on dray.

Bio Jail Break.

The sensation of the week, espe-
cially in this section of the country, is
the escape of eleven convicts from
the United States prison at McNeil's
Island, and that too almost under the
very eyes of the guards. The prison
ers had worked away from day to day
digging a passageway through which
they could escape, and, strange to say,
were not detected by the numerous
guards that are kept around the pri-
son all hours of the day during all
that time. The day before the pris-
oners escaped one of the guards was
detailed by the warden to give the
cells a general shake down, but re-
markable as it may seem, he did not
find the opening in one of the cells,
which was sufficiently large for the
men to crawl through, and which
eleven Of the prisoners did subse-
Quently crawl through. The alarm
was given in about fifteen minutes
after the prisoners had escaped and
a man hunt began at once, which has
resulted in the recapture of all of
the prison birds.

CONGRESS Moves Slowly.

While Congress is constantly ham
mering away, yet it is making haste
slowly on the vital questions at issue
at present. Since the holidays none
of the great questions that Congress
will consider some time within the
present session has been touched on
to any great extent. The Pan
anna canal is the first to be reported
to the House by the committee au-
thorized by Congress to investigate
and look into the proposition. 1t is,
however, hoped by the public in gen
eral that Congress will not waste too
much time or make too much haste
slowly, as it is termed, on these great
questions, and adjourn in the summer
before they have been settled. The
country demands that they be settled
now one way or the other, and give
the people time to think about them
before the next election is on If re
ports be true the ship-subsidy bill has
been favorably reported to the United
States Senate and that measure will
be taken up in the Senate within the
near future. and it is generally sup
posed that it will be passed by a
strong vote.

Real Prince Comma.

Prince Henry, Prussian nobleman,
is booked to arrive in the United
States in the near future for the pur-
pose of looking into our Industrial
progress, and extensive preparations
are being made at Washington City
by the official 400 and the society
swells in general to entertain the
Prince during his stay in this coun-
try. Prince Henry may be a most
excellent type of humanity, but all
this noise is being made about him
simply because he bears a title, which
to the average American should be
no more than if it was Hold Carrier
Brown or Farmer Jenkins in with a
big hod of brick or load of corn for the
market. Nothing derogatory herein
as to Prince Henry, as to his per-
sonnet is meant, but it seems foolish
to the average American to see men
and women bowling and scraping be-
fore some man simply because he is
dubbed Prince, as though that made
the man any better or any worse
High sounding titles do not make men
and there is no man greater than the
honest, hard working toiler, who lives
at home and boards at the same place

PASSING

The Smallpox Scare.

Never in the history of christendom
has there been such a scare of the dis
case known as smallpox The small
pox scare is not confined to this or
that section of the United States. but
to every locality in the country and
hot only the United States, but to
every locality in the country and not
only the United States, but likewise all
Europe and even parts of Asia are
troubled to an alarming extent with
smallpox at present. 1t is reported
that there are in the neighborhod of
1000 cases in London at present and
other European cities are more or less
erected If not so much so as is Lon
don. In the United States the small
pox is raging in most every large city,
and health officers are compelling cit
liens whether they want to or not to
be vaccinated, which is right and
proper Every citizen of this country
should get vaccinated and if he does
not do so of his own free will then the
law should compel him to do so. Go

Wrong OK Gored.

Not long since, so says the Waco
(Texas) News, a young Caucasian
lady with two children were rescued
from the grasp of an assaulting brute
by a young Negro, who was attracted
to the scene of the crime by her
screams. A posse of men followed the
fugitive and WOuld-be assailant. and
when he was captured it was discov-
cred that he was an ex-convict (white)
that had only been released from the
penitentiary few days prior, where
he had served ten years sentence
for outraging two little white girls in
the same neighborhood It took a
standing army almost to save that
wretch from being lynched, but he
was saved because he had a white in
stead of a black face. Now if the
scales had been turned and the brute
had had black face, the same stand
ing army would have assisted in burn
ing him at the stake and the world
would have applauded as being rid of
one more inhuman black brute. It
makes all the difference whose bull
is gored when the nationality of the
bull is found out

The Panama Canal.

Congress has about decided to &C.
cept the proposition of the French
syndicate to buy the Panama Canal
from them instead of taking the Mic
aragua Canal. If Congress finally de-
cides to purchase the Panama Canal it
will cost Uncle Sam $4,000, 900 and
it is said to be bargain even at that
price, if the French syndicate can give
a clear title to it. The Pacific Coast
section of the United States is not
much troubled as to which one of the
locations is selected for the canal Just
so canal is built. If, however, the
Panama proposition can be gotten
hold Of without involving the govern
ment into an international embroglio
it is best to accept it and this seems
to be the way Congress looks at the
matter

BROTHER
IN BLACK
Competitive Examinations.

The results of the civil service ex-
animation held at Atlanta not long
since, wherein ninety-nine whites and
twenty-sfx cOlored people took the ex-
animation, and over forty-five per cent
of the colored men passed and but two
per cent of the whites passed, plainly
shows that the colored man is per-
fectly willing to take his chance with
his white brother in competitive ex-
animation and abide the results of
the final outcome If those Southern
ers maintain that the Caucasian is
the superior race in every respect, and
especially in mental qualifications.
then they should not be afraid to
stand on an equal educational foot
ing with their brother in black. If
the brother in black can pass the re-
Quired examination for such positions
as the government, and even the bust
ness men of this country, have to be
filled, they should be employed the
same as the white brother If, by the
way, it transpires that the brother in
black passes a better examination
than the white brother then, regard
I less of his color, he should be given
the preference of any position of
, trust that either the government or
the business men of this country have
for disposal This paper has never
maintained that this or that position
should go to the black man because
he is black man, but it believes that
| it should go to him if he is peculiarly
qualified for the place, that is to say
after all aspirants have taken a COM
petitive examination and the papers
have been fairly and impartially

interested party, select the success

Bruce Is Chosen.

Speaking about throwing the black
man on his merits reminds the writer
that but recently Harvard University,
one of the leading educational insti-
buttons of the United States, and one
which has turned out more graduates
and supplied the country with more
business men than any similar insti-
tuition of this country, selected as it's
class orator ROsco COnkling Bruce, a
son of the famous colored United
States Senator from Mississippi On
previous occasions Mr. Bruce has
been selected for this honor and he
always equipped himself with such
singular ability that he was the I'M
animous choice of the school for the
present year 1t can thus be seen
that the black man when given an
opportunity will show that he has as
good metal in him as his white
brother 1t was not matter of senti-
ment that prompted Harvard Uni
versity to select Mr.. Bruce as it's class
orator; nor did it do so for the pur-
pose of getting even with any other
section of the country, but it did do
so for the purpose of forging that uni
versity ahead of its competitors. 1t
was not sentiment nor race sympathy
that caused the examining hoard tO
grade those colored boys papers
higher than the white boys, but on
the contrary had they have seen the
actual applicants they probably would
have been inclined to grade up the
white boys papers to the detriment
of the colored boys, but it was a cold
blooded proposition, they did not
know the black mems papers from the
white mems, and they graded them as
they saw them and not as their preju-
dices saw them. 1t was by this means
that the colored boys got fair and
impartial show and succeeded in max
ing their mark. Let that be the rule
throughout and there will be less
clubbing and splitting hairs over
whether white or black men are to
hold certain positions and less bick-
erings about the superiority of the
white people and let it be the survival
of the fittest.

half of it be true, it will mean one
of the greatest emigrations that has
country at one time. The Republican
ever taken place in the history of the
seriously doubts the authenticness of
this statement and it believes that If
the West really gets $4,000 persons
from Eastern points during the pres
ent year it will have done well. How
ever, in this age nothing seems to
he impossible, and it would be no gen
eral surprise if 100000 persons should
come West and settle in the various
states on the Pacific Coast.

Liberals Demand.

According to Hon. w B. Matchett,
who is minister to this country from
the Liberian government, the United
States Congress, April 18th, 1886,
passed an act to the effect that the
United States government shall trans
fer to the Liberian government one of
the gun boats of the navy at some
future time, when in the opinion the
Secretary of the Navy such YES
sci could be spared for that purpose.
This bill was passed under the direct
ing hands of Senator Sumner and Rep
resentative Banks, both of Massachu-
sets. 1t was a measure of the Great
Civil War days and probably has
never been thought of since that time
until recently dug up by the Liberian
minister to this country. Of course
the Secretary of the Navy will never
find it convenient to transfer to the
Liberian government million-dollar
man-of-war and he is not to be blamed
Whatever prompted those gentlemen
to have the measure passed is more
than anyone of this age can explain
unless it was to show a certain amount
of sympathy for the black man, who
was at that time in a most critical
balance, not only in the United States,
but in Liberia as well, but that has
about passed and at this writing the
colored people themselves would not
favor such a useless expenditure of
government funds. Liberia may need
a man-of-war, but if it had few more
men of farms it could utilize them
much better than war vessel.
