Call and see me or a end for circular. Alfred t. Sinker. 74 s. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis ind. Mayl71c4p6m so far As the City is concerned than the Belt Road and Stock Yard. The mayor made it the subject of a special message and probably the Ablest document new sent by a City officer to a City legislature. But the mayor s admirable exhibit of the advantages of a Transfer Road and a Stock Yard could not overcome the objection of making the City a debtor to help it. And the news opposed it then and when the legalizing Bill was in the legislature. It thought then As it does now and always has that if the Enterprise was a Good one it was Good enough to command private help and would get it. Yet when the matter was settled and it was determined to give the City s credit to the project and resistance could do no Good no paper and no person did so much As the news to keep the Public notified of the Progress of the work and the Belt men will Tell anybody that asks that no paper did so much to disabuse the Public mind of the impression that it was to be conducted in the interest of any person or combination. A reporter followed up every step of the work and his descriptions More than any other one influence broke Down the pre Dju Dice which had strengthened against the Road to a pitch that at one time would have done it a mischief Llie news is of the same disposition now. It does t believe in Public subsidy to promote private enterprises. It does t believe that a Good Enterprise will command its own Means of Success and it believes if private Means Are timid and hold off the Public has no business to come in to do the work that belongs to private Enterprise. All that the City was asked to do in the Case of the Belt Road and Stock Yards was to loan to the company the City s credit the City being amply protected age inst loss. The news bitterly opposed this together with citizens of note who have since with the news become heartily ashamed of their opposition. The City was never asked As ii the proposed Coal Road to donate Money out right to the Belt Road and Stock Yards authorities. The news takes great credit to itself in keeping the Public informed of the Success of the Belt Road and Stock Yards after it had discovered that its asinine opposition had been futile. It should be patted on the backs so it should for giving in so gracefully and floating with the current of popular opinion. It pretends to think in its silly egotism that it saved the project from a prejudice that would have worked it ill by following the building of the Road and the Stock Yards to completion with fulsom notes of an Enterprise it had vainly tried to smother in its Borning what a Simpleton of a Little new As it is to be sure society notes.

The zealous opposition of the Cincinnati commercial to Grant is driving it in the direction of a distinct committal to another candidate for 1880. This does not indicate a level head. Truly Wise newspapers do not commit themselves so Long . And yet the journal which everybody admits is a truly Wise newspaper committed itself some time since to Grant when the Quot Boom Quot for a third term was in the ascendant.

Whilst engaged in this interesting occupation the front door Bell rang. The Man was out with the Carriage the maid was out with the Market Basket the Young lady answered the Bell herself notwithstanding a Negligee toilet that is. Her hair was arranged in a purely grecian knot and her dress in grecian drapery and the wet Earth clinging to her fingers had been touched Here and there to her face. Upon opening the door a Young gentleman standing there presented a letter which contained an introduction from the professor at the Art school to one of his student artists and a request that the Young lady would sit for a portrait. The artist preferred that his Model should Quot pose Quot at once in this romantic Guise but this purely artistic Conception was another Good thing which had to be sacrificed to female vanity.

Vance the alleged Illinois murderer was arrested by officer Temple last evening and placed in the station House. It is certain that Vance was not with the thieves that had the fight with the officers on fall Creek on last wednesday. A shooting scrape Henry Sweatland yesterday afternoon had a air coloured Man William and put a Load of Bird quarrel with another coloured Man William Baldwin about a Dos and put a Load of Bird shot into Baldwin s breast. It is thought no Wen up. Inge Rons results win Rouhow. Sweatland to the station House and gave himself or. George new we regret to hear is still dangerously ill. And now it is said that the West is to have a Cardinal s hat with a head in it. Quot Modoc Quot has probably returned to the lava Sentinel. Good most excellent the thieves were not satisfied with getting away with the police but got away from them. The adage few die and none resign Quot is violated by the resignation of l. H. Russell West Market Wood measurer. He probably finds there is Quot nothing in Butler University was re organized upon a sectarian basis last week the pure and undefiled christians having come it Over their less sectarian Brethren. Christians Are up to Shaip tricks As Well As wordings. This is the season for mowing and reaping machines to get in their perfect work the papers Are full of horrid accidents. These machines seem to be like old time with his scythe Quot they Cut Down All both great and the longest Day of the year was saturday june 21st. As yet however the Days have not perceptibly shortened and we have had no extreme heat. So far As we have heard there have been no cases of Sun stroke in this Vicinity. There seems to be a slight Between judge Julian and that Legal statistician and stump orator or. Bradbury. The journal declined to let them card each other through columns. The columns of the people Are open we never like to spoil fun. They Are now talking about improving North Meridian Street with blocks to a Width of thirty feet in the Center the property ers to Bear one half the expense and the City the other half. There is a Little More in this than saddling the entire Cost upon the City As the big feeling residents of North Meridian Street attempted to do. There seems to be a sort of passion among our citizens for those Large Arm chairs so frequently seen on porches Etc. They Are very inviting and look exceedingly comfortable. There is one thing about them that puzzles us Why should they always be painted red would t Blue or yellow or any other color answer we suppose it s the fashion Quot any color so it s a writer in the news of wednesday in railing against letting the water out of the canal permits his fear to get the better of his judgment. He thinks that disease must certainly follow such a suicidal act. The water was not let out of the canal to any alarming extent and the writer doubtless will experience no ill effects from the partial letting off of the water of the canal for a single Day or two. The i. D. Amp s. Railway wants the $60,000 do. Rated to the i. Life i. C., now supposed to be in the hands of the county commissioners the same that the Coal readers Are hankering after. We reckon want will be their master. The i. D. Amp s. Claims that it is the National successor of the i. Amp i. C., and As such entitled to the Spond licks. As the conditions consequent upon the donation were unfulfilled by the i. Amp i. Road the i., d. Amp s. Have no claim in court. Don t you see it s As Clear As mud the Sentinel we Are pleased to say is of the people s Way of thinking in relation to prodigies a boy orators for instance and the Uke. It said last sunday Quot the oratorical utterances of Pitt Emmett or Webster do not fit or become a child any More than the clothing of these great orators artist a. E. Sinks says he takes it All backs his signing the Quot Call Quot for the boy orator was a Little of color. If forgiven this time he promises never to do the like again. Artist sinks has a soul that cannot relish infant prodigies and suck like Small Deer. You cannot make a mistake in investing a few dollars in the Purchase of a policy or Security against fire. It must be poor Consolation to the Man who stands mournfully looking on the burning ruins of his once Happy Home to have said to him Quot now if if you had Only insured Quot yet such is the ease every Day of the world somewhere and the people Are beginning to learn it is the very quintessence of Wisdom to keep their property insured in some Good company. It is the pleasure of the people to recommend to a suffering Public As a Safe and reliable company the Franklin fire insurance co., of this City. They Are Square. There is some one on the news who has got a Little sense. We can hardly guess who it is but he certainly deserves credit. For the following utterances on base Ball we could almost take the Quot writer to our heart of hearts although we must confess that we Are not enamoured of the news or its editors Indianapolis need not Grieve that she has dropped out from among those who patronize the blackguard who make their living at the Noble game. She got out just in time. The game is on the Wane everywhere. Receipts at the Gate Are growing smaller by degrees and beautifully less and base Ball the professional article can last but a season or two longer. A news reporter who wondered what became of the boys Quot when they dropped out made inquiry of a once deluded Man who formerly patronized the game. He said that they for the most part did anything but work. They become Quot Beer perkers Quot Quot bouncers Quot at dance houses and Low variety Heaters billiard Sharks and ropers in at various gambling games. Their ideas ,------�?.�?�_i----Aboutas from or. Evarts has his office in the St. Cloud building on the Southeast Comer of Market and Illinois streets. We Are sincerely glad that he has located in the Day. Such men have a tendency to raise the Standard of both private and professional life Lis great ability joined with Hir solid culture and blameless manhood will be sure to soon secure him a Large practice. Captain Albert Gau and his spirited Cavaliers were exceedingly discriminating in their attentions on the fourth after the procession. They paid their respects to the daily press with Quot three cheers and a Tiger Quot entirely ignoring the offices of the weekly journals. But then we guess the weeklies can stand it if the Gay and festive Cavaliers can. Pump Merrill who was made to take Down his obstructing sign has filed against Arthur l. Wright Henry Colum James t. Layman Peter f. Bryce and Harrvey. Drew for having obstructing signs. He very correctly thinks if aldermen and councilmen make Laws they should be compelled to observe them. We Are reliably informed there is no truth in the report that the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals is seriously thinking of prosecuting All persons making use of Fly paper and yet if not Why not it certainly kills the flies. Ben c. Wright is the last individual named in connection with the office of sheriff of Marion county. The list is swelling to exceedingly fair proportions and some of the aspiring gentlemen Are bound to be left out in the cold. The trouble Between the Brethren about running sunday trains to Camp meeting is coming to a boil. Quot a methodist Quot and a member of the numerous Reed family Are carding each other through the daily press. The Sentinel s reporter has a theory in relation to the thieves who did t quite capture All the police on fall Creek on last wednesday when reporters commence having theories look out for them. They Are dangerous the jail prisoners and their guards Are the Best of friends they Bathe together when weary of working in Smith King s and Darnell s Extension of North Meridian Street.

The fourth opened out Bright and cheerful and bade fair to be a swelter re butt about 7 o clock a Welcome Breeze sprang up the sky was overcast with indications of a to come. The City particularly Down to in looked exceedingly Gay although there was not As much Bunting exhibited As it was generally thought there would be. In but few instances were banners thro in across the streets and what were mingled patriotism with Trade. About every boy m the City had a pistol and every other boy a gun with which they did an immense amount of celebrating while the fire Cracker and Quot Sich Quot got in its perfect work. If there were no Acci dents the wonder will be great. Lemonade stands with probably Ruthin stronger for the asking sprung up As if by magic direction two enterprising dealers established on the Circle directly under the noses of the gifted orators. Ont of compliment to the people no doubt the oratorical stand was erected immediately opposite the people s editorial Sanctum so that when the distinguished orators let the Bird soar vre had no difficulty in marking its flight away up into the Blue empyrean. The procession in some respects was a grand sue Cess. In an artistic Point of View it was a failure. There were no particular characters represented. It was an aggregated botch Potch leaving out Albert Gall s Cavaliers. The Industrial part was with the exception of the Beer Industry. Milt Pouder s clean meat Market.

The old original George Washington Hatchet will be on exhibition and under the imme Diate control of the goddess of Liberty see see see see a certain Law firm in Moore s Block undertakes to distinguish itself by covering that Altimu Dingus edifice All Over with huge Quot wholesale Quot signs and extraordinary announcements professional and unprofessional. If unable to distinguish itself Ira the practice this display acts As a substitute and it is a reminder of one of the Best double in tenders of the witty Theodore Tilton. A dozen years ago the City of Chicago was represented in Congress by a Silver haired and dignified old fellow the extreme Antipode of his colleague. Long John Wentworth. The old gentleman was a veritable Beau and occupied much statesman time ogling ladies in the House galleries. On one occasion Tilton was sitting on the floor of the hous alongside the sex Diplomat and Gallant m. C., when the latter turned to the Quot then Brilliant editor of the new York Independent and inquired Quot what is a fellow to do when he cannot distinguish his lady Friend in the gallery Quot Quot i word suggest that he had better distinguish himself on the floor Quot naively responded Tilton. The Adt Ioe was a water. Emale band would have been better out of the procession it was almost if not quite disgusting. Quot the want of decency s the want of the representations of the female band were entirely too loud. So also one or two other characters Burles Quing the female form divine to particularized More pointedly Charity forbids. Among the most notable features of the hew i turn out were saw Bones in a Wagon sawing o limb but who were particularly Cut was not at All apparent. A City Alderman had a representative in a Humpback cuss in red with three or four red capes. Tolje when clothing store is deserving of credit for turning out a number of horsemen labelled Quot when pushers Quot in the character of punchinello. A mining party from Leadville was thought to be exceedingly Tunny. The fire department made a most creditable display. And Pendergast looked exceedingly Tony in yellow kid gloves. The procession reached the Circle in due time without let or hindrance. Brother Bayliss made a patriotic prayer after Beissenherz s band had prefaced delightfully according to programme the Hon. John Finch eloquently read the declaration of Independence when the Young barrister John l. Griffiths of Griffiths amp Potts made a most eloquent oration mounting the Bird a deftly and with exquisite Grace and agility. W. W. Herod declined to speak though present. His Honor mayor Caven presided. A a coloured troop of horsemen went it alone and swung around the Circle about 11 o clock they were fantastically arrayed and led by a Captain on a mule and a band. They generally were masked. One carried a great blood red sword on which was inscribed Quot what i kill i he had an immense poppy in his hat. They marched to the Corner of Meridian and then retracing their Steps marched up Meridian. They subsequently appeared in the procession. The Light infantry won the first prize of $100 in the competitive Drill yesterday afternoon there being no second. The Chicago Lackey zouave gave an exhibition Drill after the infantry had finished. They did not compete for the prize. The Richmond guards and the military generally made an excellent display. The water works display was entirely Satis Fae Fory. The display of fire works was simply gorgeous. Our country cousins came in by scores and hundreds in every possible conveyance while trains rolled in their hundreds of human live Stock throughout the Day. Heavy on horse flesh. The fourth always is. A train got in from Chicago at 7 o clock with seven passenger coaches loaded. The zouave were on Board and As soon As they landed they made a grand Rush for Chapin amp Gores it s a Legal Holiday and the Law expressly says that saloons must be closed on Jeral holidays. But the people themselves determined to get on a High old lonesome and the authorities dared not enforce the Law. Of consistency thou Art indeed a jewel. The grand stand was decorated with the flags of All nations and Bunting generally under direction of or. Christian of Shover amp Christian. It presented a Gay appearance. A picnic for the Benefit of St. Joseph s Catholic Church is was held at Greenwood reached by excursion trains. The Beer wagons generally were most gorgeously decorated both on and off Parade. Quot old White Quot was a feature of the procession As old rip Van Winkle. A Good card. The i. Amp l.
