As permanent chairman Senator D. M. Sabin, of Minnesota, was unanimously chosen. For the honor of holding the convention, five places were put in nomination, Chicago, Cin cinnati, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, and Saratoga. On the fourth ballot Chicago was chosen.

The date of the convention was made for Tuesday, June 3, 1884. While Indiana would have been to entertain the Republican national convention at her capitol city. because it was not selected will make no great difference to Republicans in the earnest work they do for the party In the next campaign. Give us good nominations on a square platform, and our people will go in and win a victory fully as glorious as that in the cam paign of 1880. The people are ready for the contest, and the leaders of the Democratic party who are insisting upon a course detrimental in the ex treme to American industries will be rebuked in the most surprising manner.

A dispatch from Washington states that the Postmaster general has directed postmasters to exchange for the public, as application i are made, three and six cent denominations of postage stamps and stamped envelopes for others of different denominations, the stamped envelopes to be exchanged at the full current rate.

In conversation with Jap Turpin, fifniself a Democrat and a man as well posted in political affairs as any one ln the Stale, we were informed that the general sentiment among Democrats of prominence throughout the State is for the nomination of the "old ticket."

Mr. Turpin does not look upon the McDonald rboom" as being of any but claims that it is rather confined to a few persons wbo have no great following in Demo cratlc circles either as leaders or men of prominence. This must be a crushing blow to certain Democrats who think themselves high in the councils of the party, and imagine they see in the future bright visions of a congressional seat or a lucrative State office i vi rnir Wa nn ttt i i No cause for complaint, only a few niggers killed.

The Dohce of New York are all practical Democrats. An Iowa editor retires from the journalistic field, and ends his vale dictory by saving, "No true Christian can edit a newspaper." He probably spoke from experience, but one shouldn't judge others by himself. He is rather hard upon the brethren of the quill.

It is suggested that, as the State of Pennsylvania is overrun with coun terfeit half dollars, it would be a good plan to use this money in paying of the members of the Legislature. There would be an eternal fitness in such a proceeding. Both being bogus, they would well correspond. The temperance movement in the South is quite active and widespread. The prohibitionists in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and other States are making war against the liquor sellers under the local option law, and are successful beyond the most sanguine expectations.

The col ored people are almost solid in favor of temperance. The Danville (Ya.) Democrats held aa inquest over the dead and wounded negroes by a jary composed of forty Bourbons "tried and true," and have discovered the whole affair of the tragedy recently perpetrated in that city was due to the insolence of the negroes, who showed a determination to rule the roost, and the insolence had to be rebuked and chastised. This was the finding of the Bourbon jury. should end the matter forever. it may oe a small matter, but since it is not probable that our Democrat! exchanges will note the fact, we will state that on the 1 1th insL, Gen.

But thev were as nothing to the old' Bour bon free trader who had determined to carry everything with a high hand. regardless of consequences. Intelli gence is In the minority in the party. Mb. Vandebbilt gave a ball at his residence, in New York city on the 11th.

This is not so startling in itself but he had determined to excel any thing ever given in that line at court circles in Europe.

If Carlisle election to the speaker ship, by the Democrats, does not mean that the party believes strongly'in ree iraae, wny is it tnat nia choice is a source of such gratification to free traders and free trade clubs The Iowa State Free Trade League, at a State meeting held in' Des Moines, in structed its secretary; to prepare an address of congratulation upon the election of Carlise.

If Mr. Carlisle is such a friend to American industries, how can it be possible for him also to have such intimate and affectionate relations with those directly opposed? The speaker is the exponent and, head of the Democratic party, it is fair tg be supposed that he represents, the in terests of that party, and taking this to be tbetrue view, the. pretensions of that party in favor of workingmen come with exceedingly bad Another Glimpse of the Actions of the i Democratio City Council. It has come to' be pretty generally known that in order for auy person to be favored 'by the Democratic city council, all that is necessary Is for him to vote the Democratic ticket, and it is also pretty clearly established that there are no lengths which will not be reached in an effort to impose trouble and expense upon people of an opposite political faith. Money and "pap" are freely voted for the party man, no matter if the council may have prop ositions before it, by accepting which would be monev in the pockets of the workingmen and taxpayers.

Within the last few days we have had another exhibition of this narrow. partisan policy indulged in. At the last meeting of the council, a long list of sidewalks were ordered to be built along various streets. In this list, we notice advertised for sale the lots on the south side of Fort Wayne avenue. as far eastward as the old cemetery, where the walk is to cease, and in front of property for two squares there is to be no walk, but the place where such should be is allowed to be taken up for the purpose of piling lumber and other obstructions.

We would like to know whv this is the case? The property owners alongthat side of the street are as much entitled to walks along said mentioned places as at any point either east or west thereof, and they are just as much needed. They are compelled to construct and mam tain good walks, while these places are allowed to remain, and why? Can it be possible that, because a mem ber of the city council has an inter est in the property spoken of, it is ex empt? It would seem that way, and in no other manner can the matter be explained. To the public in general. however, it would seem that there is but little justice in such proceeding, but a vast amount of favoritism. Again, a board sidewalk has been ordered in front of the Methodist par sonage property, on the same street.

wbile in front of this property, there is even now a first class gravel walk. about eight feet in width, and which answers every purpose. On this mat ter there might be some difference of opinion, and it might not look so bad on its face, did the council not permit any gravel walks to be made, but such course has not been pursued. Not long ago through these columns at tention was called to the fact that on East Market street, a property owner. a Kepuoitcan, by tne way, was com pelled to tear up a good gravel walk, and replace it by a board walk, six feet in width, while on the same street, only one square further east, a Democrat was allowed to put down a walk.

me greater part or which was com posed of gravel. It remains there to day, and the probability is that it will still remain, while men with less means will be compelled to replace their good gravel walks with board ones at the dictation of the council. It will not do for the members of the council to plead ignorance of these things, for we know that the atten tion of at least one member of that body was called directly to them, and be gave no satisfactory answer as to why it was done. The fact of the matter is it is nothing but a species of favoritism, and a discrimination against the poorer people, men who have toiled early and late to secure for themselves a little home. This is the class upon which the burdens are placed, and it is done simply and solely because those in power think this class have no means in their power to re sist the oppression.

Dtjbinq the year ending June SO. 1883, our'American exports of corn, leather, kerosene, bacon and hams, butter and cheese, lard and pork, fell off materially, especially provisions; but the increase in cotton was over fortv seven millions, and in wheat and flour, twenty five millions. The increase exceeds the decrease by over seventy millions. It would seem that the country is in a thrifty condition, when weighed in the balances of the balance of trade, the excess of exports over imports being over hundred mill ions. CAicao Inter Ocean.

Tho Clerk of the House of Representatives today superseded W. B. Smith, who has been librarian or the House library for the oast twenty years, by. appointing William Butler. Smith was a colored man, and was emcient tn tne discnarge of bis duties.

His. familiarity with public documents and their contents made him a particularly valuable man. and when the Democrats gained con trol of the House, in 1875, the oldest and most prominent members united in demanding his retention. The present cMk lias decided that the col ored man must go. The above shows what mean Demo cratic pretensions for friendship of the colored man.

It is but a milder form of the practices indulged in the shot gun policy of the South. The party shibboleth is to be a "white man's govern uient," and the 'nigger must go. Indecent Literature.

A Court Decision. The following is the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Lucas vs Hendrix, mentioned yesterday: 10.014. Thomas Lucas vs. Henry A. Heudrix, IluiitingtouC.

C. Hammond. J. Action by appellant against the heirs of Isaac Hendrix to review a judgment in favor of the decedent his life time. The com plaint in the origiual action was by the decedent upon a deed executed by him to his son Benj.

Hendrix. The deed contained a condition requiring said Benjamin to pay said Isaac $440 a year forfi ve years, upon tailure to pay which the payment might en forced by the grantor. It was alleged that default hail been made in such payment, and the pr.tyer was that the deed be canceled and the plaintiffs title quieted. The reservation was not a condition subsequent, but was in le gal effect a mortgage. (1 Mo.

140; 27 416; Jones MorU. sec 223; 4 Ind, 101 30 id 495.) Although the prayer was not for facts stated entitled the plaintiff to such relief. A defective prayer for relief is not reach ed by demurrer but by motion to strike out or to make more specific. (25 IndU 473 45 355 1 Work's Pr sec 224.) Appellant answered the complaint by alleging that he held a mortgage and certificate of sale on the premises; that the annuity in the deed was an ad vancement to Benjamin Hendrix and that contemporaneous with the deed a receipt for such sum was signed by Benjamin, which contained an agree ment that said annuity was only to be paid in the event of the grantor be coming needy, and that he bad always been and remained in affluent circum stances op to the time of said suit, and that there was nothing due him. The receipt and deed are to be construed as one contract.

(23 502 17 in 14; 15 id 339.) Benjamin could have availed himself of this defense had he chosen to do so, and there is no good reason why one who had acquired rights in the land under him might not Interpose the same defence. (59 Ind 656.) The answer was good, and for the error in sustaining the demur rer to it, the judgment in the original cause ought to be reviewed. Judg ment reverse i. We should have been glad to see the country spared the struggle between protection and free tr tde in a year when much else exists to depress busi ness; but since it has come, let it come.

Fbrb Traders tell us that living is so much cheaper in England than in this country, and that it is all owing to the free trade policy of that countrv and the protective tariff of this. Will some of those wise men tell us how It happens that living is very much cheaper in protective Germany and France than It is In free trade Eng land? All reports go to show that the laboring classes in Germany and France live much better, too, than their fellows in England. And while they are at it they might also explain why it is that the foreign trade of England, is falling off many millions each year, while that of Fiance and; Germany, under, a protective tariff, is rapidly increasing, inaianapoits 1 1 mes.

Washington, Dec llth, The meeting; of Congress has a significance beyond the impulse it gives to politics and the effect it bason the business pf the country. It calls forth from the various departments of the Government a summary of our national affairs. The various reports show what.

has been accomplished dur ing the fiscal year, and indicate bow the country is growing in wealth and power. Computations based on those reports have been made with astonishing results. It is shown that one fifth ot the wealth of the seventeen princi pal countries of the globe is credited to this Republic, only a century. old. The wealth of the United States equals the combined valuation of Italy, Spain, Portugal, India, South America, Turkey, Egypt, Sweeden, Norway, Canada, Australia, Denmark and South Africa.

It exceeds the wealth of Germany and Russia combined. It is equal to the riches of Great Britain, Canada and Australia. Agriculture has been the main factor in this marvellous increase of wealth. And yet the agricultural interest secures smaller consideration from Congress than any other. Perhaps it needs less.

but with a revenue so large that there is a strong temptation to waste money, it does seem that there should be no miserly objections to protecting and encouraging agricultural interests. How many millions are lost by cattle diseases which might be prevented. How much might be saved by raising our owu sugar, conee, tea ana otner products susceptible of cultivation, is almost beyond estimate. I learn that the agricultural societies are going to take more earnest measures than ever before to demand Congressional action in half of agriculture and kindred interests. Among other matters the President recommends a commission to arrange with Germany if possible for aa mis sion of American swine products.

I have had access some figures which show the exports of oik last year as compared with 1882, and notwith standing the German embargo there has been little decrease.

Concerning the latter an appropia tion of 8100.000 failed last winter, it is said, through the efforts of the rail road companies which do not want i water route from the Mississippi to the Atlantic. The Hennepin canal project is to connect tne great river and the great lakes.

To drop into politics for a moment, it is claimed by the Democrats that one advantage in haying Carlisle for Speaker is found in the fact that he has no Presidential aspirations. Randall, they say. was so strongly inoculated with the virus that he would have fashioned things to help his candidature. McDonald of Indiana confesses to great' elation over the victory of Carlisle, and those who pretend to know say that McDonald is the Speaker's candidate. I think this is true, but Mr.

Carlisle will not be apt to let it belcnown as a fact outside the circle of bis intimates. The Democrats in the House think of caucusing next week to come to an understanding as. to party policy for the winter. Such a meeting would not i entirely harmonious, and for that reason it may not be held. There exists a broad divergence of views on tariff and other important matters.

and it is doubtful if the party could be induced to act as a unit on several of these subjects. It is certain that any radical changes in existing tariff duties will be strenuously resisted by one wing of the party, even at the expense of their fealty to the organization. The difference in views held by leading eastern and western Democrats on financial questions is also, in some cases, radical. The Democratic ma jority on certain controverted points is not so large as It looks. a.
