AVhat would a business man do with agents who paid a third more money for work than competent men had offered to do it for? Mr. Bvnum Is beginning to realize the difference between Htrung political ingratitudeto others and experiencing1 it himself. 4 ' The Sentinel's nerlury mill at Anderron has been prematurely phut down. i'ree raw material cannot help It. Its .workmen have struck. It took Mr. John II. Wilson Just one' 'flay to shatter the reputation which he had spent years In trying to build up of being better than his party. The Journal hopes that no Republican Will be Induced to vote for one of Tag-. Cart's county candidates In exchange for a Democrat voting for Henry. Do not waste words on the County Commissioners who hav? permitted Marlon county to be plundered, but place the responsibility where It belongs and hame It Taggartism. The trick of the Democratic election commissioners in turning Eynum down Is a little like that of a person who tries to pass a punched coin by holding his finger over the hole. How much of the $23,000 paid to the foreign bridge-builder over the bids of home competitors has gone into the Democratic fund necessary to get their heelers Into line once more? No intelligent ' man can give himself ne good reason why he should vote to continue the wastefulness and corruption of the present Democratic courthouse gang of tax-eaters longer in office. When such men as General McGinnls declare that the Republican ticket in f r a J . A 1 m i m A. a. vuonuu luuhij, (.atitru :rum iifuu 10 iun, is the best he has ever seen, there should be no doubt about stamping the casle." Mr. Henry's majority in Madison tounty was estimated at 500 four weeks ago, but the uprising of labor In every gas town in the county during the past three weeks against Bynum may raise the Henry lead to 1,000 votes. Having exhausted the language In eulogizing the English people. Embassador Bayard is now devoting himself to abuse of that portion of the American people who do not unite with hlrh In favoring free trade. ... What do the tax-paying mechanics In Mario"n county think of having ;the county's iron bridges built in a 'distant city for a price 30 per cent, higher-than a home competitor would have done, it? That is a part of the Taggart policy., Elect the Republican ticket and all materials used by the county institutions will be purchased from the lowest xesponsible bidders. There will be no favorites to whom a third more than the market price will be paid, as under the present conscienceless and greedy regime. -t The election warrants Issued by County Clerk Wilson'and posted by the sheriff have the ofllcers to be voted for in the same order as was agreed upon by the heads of the two State committees. The change was not made until the managers had learned how heavy a load Bynum is. One of the reasons why the candidates for county clerk have been put at the head of the ticket is that Maculre counts on two or three hundred Republican votes on personal grounds, and that some Republicans, or so-called Republicans, who vote for him may conclude to vote the whole ticket, fome time since, it may be remarked, a man claiming to represent Mr. Macire approached a Republican candidate for another office with a proposition to pwap Democratic votes for Republican votes for Maguire. It is plain from Attorney-general Olney's letter to J. Adam Bede that the administration objects only to that variety of pernicious political activity on the part of government officials that may leave biood stains on its lily white robes. Mr. Olney intimates his belief that J. Adam's activity was of the sort likely to lead to gore, and as youns Mr. Eckels and other administration attaches who go about making Democratic speeches of a Iofs ferocious brand are not Interfered with, gore must be accepted as the measure of perniciousness. A distinctive feature of th political campaign this year is speaking from railroad cars. There has been come tling of this before, but never nearly as much as this year. General HarrlFm, Governor McKInley and Vice President Stevenson have all made speaking tours, end now It Is announced that 11 z. C:unc?y Dersw will ilve two

days next week on a special train to i speaking. The advantage of this kind of campaigning is that a tptaker can cover much ground and address so many audiences in a comparatively short time; but, on the other hand, as it gives no opportunity for handshaking or min

gling with the people, it is not likely to become generally popular, at least with candidates. Besides, special trains cost money, and somebody must foot the bill. iviiicii is tiii: fiu::mj of i.Aiioiif . The following is an extract from an editorial Jn the Sentinel addressed To Organized Labor:" r"upjoe, for example, ' that Mr. Henry ?houid be elected to Congress from this district, wrilch is peculiarly the labor district of Indiana, and organized labor should ask other Congressmen to aid in securing needed labor laws. Would they not answer, "We will do what we like. You fellows elected Henry to Congress. Yoa will vote for people that fight you Just as soon a3 for people that help you." One hardly knows whether to wonder most at the "gall" which affects to contrast the labor records of Messrs. Henry and Bynum to the credit of the latter, or at the stupidity which imagines that intelligent worklngmen can be fooled by that kind of talk. In these practical days men are Judged by acts, not by words. Platforms and stump speeches do not go for much against a man's acts and votes. Judged by this standard, what has Mr. Bynum ever done for workinsmen or -the cause of labor? Mr. Henry has assisted in locating many industries in his city and In giving employment to a great many worklngmen. What has Mr. Bynum done? For years past he has been professing friendship for the cause of labor and of worklngmen, but what has he done? Nothing. He has never built a house, barn or fence; he has never given a day's employment to skilled labor; he has never assisted in the location of a factory; h has never been the means of procuring a Job for any man who needed one, unless it may be an office for some political henchman; he has never attended any rneetlns in favor of public Improvements or private enterprise; he has never signed a guaranty fund or contributed to a bonus to, encourage the establishment of u new industry; in short, he has never been the means of putting a stroke of work in the hands or a cent' in the pocket of any workingman. Worse than this, for years past he has been a rampant advocate of a policy which has thrown thousands of worklngmen out of employment and brought a reduction of wages to thousands of others. When a committee of workingmenof this district wrote him a respectful letter urging him to oppose the repeal of protection he replied Insultingly that he would do nothing of the kind, and intimated that they were ignorant or paid tools of their employers. What organized labor wants now is employment. It- wants a chance to work. That Is Its first need. When a man Is starving he does not yearn after an illustrated newspap?r or a new neck tie. He wants something to eat. Or ganized labor wants to see factory chimneys smoking and factory wheels turning as they were three years ago. It wants an end of the policy that has prostrated business and deprived so many; thousand . worklngmen of an opportunity to earn wages. ;If Mr Henry should be elected to Congress from this district, which, as the Sentinel rightly says "Is peculiarly the labor district of Indiana," he will go there as a representative of the policy of protection to American industries, and when organ ized labor urges him to favor its interests he will be In a position to ask and obtain the co-operation of his political friends in that behalf. That Is something as far beyond the power of Mr. Bynum to do as it is beyond his dis position. , OXB OP IIOKI2 SMITH'S1 FOOTPADS. On Sept. 22, 1894. the following letter, signed "William Lochren, Commissioner of 4 Pensions." was received by the at torney of Nelson W. Pepper, formerly of Company C, Eighth Illinois Infantry: Sir Relative to the above cited claim, you are advised that it awaits the testimony Indicated In the accompanying circular let ter. .Ths testimony of A. H. Garver and W. A. Snider, now on file, is not satisfac tory, by reason of their alleged unreliability. .... Mr. Pepper has ' been a resident of Weslfield, 111., for years, and that city is the residence of his former comrades. Garver and Snider, whose testimony was rejected because of "alleged un reliability." When the Lochren letter was made public, the following staterr.ent was prepared and signed by seventy-eight of'the first citizens of the piace, ' ' representing the Republican, Democratic antf Prohibition parties: Whereas. W. A. Snider and yv. II. Garver. of Westfield, county of Clark, and State of Illinois, appear to have been reported to the l'ens!on llureau at Washington as unreliable in their sworn statement in a certiin pension claim, we, the undersigned. business men and citizens of the town and State aforesaid, having known W. A. Sni der as a trusted and competent govern ment officer, as postmaster at Westfleld. for near twenty years, as a merchant and an honored citizen, and A. H. Garver for nearly the sime time, as a public school teacher, merchant and citizen of the highest moral character, like this opportunity to etrresa over our signatures our disappro bation of this vile iiar.der. and our entire confidence in their integrity, and declare th.U in our opinion their testimony Is 'above suspicion and competent in any court or under any circumstances. The foregoihg is signed by several clergymen, four physicians, three of whom are Democrats, the principal of the high school, two Justices of the peace and the leading business men of the city. Who furnished the Commissioner the statements upon which the evidence of these two men was rejected for "al leged unreliability?" Commissioner Lochren, in letters like the following sent to postmasters, answers the ques tion: WASHINGTON. D. C. June 3, 1894. Postmaster. . Ohio: Pear SirCommunications in reject to pensions will be held as confidential if re quester, or ir me nature oi ine commumc.ttlon is such that it oueht to be so held. Yours very truly. WM. LOCHRK.n. Commissioner. Some postmaster, incited by this notice, and thinking that it would make him friends in the Cleveland adminis tration, has. under the protection ten dered by Commissioner Lochren, cow ardly assailed these witnesses and there by defeated the claims of a veteran for a pension. It was because the Hoke Smith coterie in "the Pension Bureau desired to make use of such footpads that Augustus N. Martin. Democrat, representing the Eleventh Indiana di5trlct. chairman of the pension committee, suppressed the resolution offered by Representative Waugh, vhich provided that the applicant shall be furnished the names of the persons who have informed the burtau that he is not en-

titled to a pension. That resolution would have put an end to the Hoke Smith policy of footpadism. WHERE THE MOXEV T.OES. In every speech that Governor Matthews has made during the present canvass he has pointed with pride to the fact that during his term $710,000 of the State debt has been paid off. This sounds like a very large sum to his audiences, and they applaud the statement as evidence of Democratic honesty and good financiering. But the Governor never tells how much money has been handled during his term. Beginning with 1S01. the revenues of which year were handled during his term, the report of the Auditor of State shows that the cash receipts to the treasury for the fiscal year ending Oct. 31, 1S91. were $4,943,465. The reports for 1S02 and 1SD3 show that the receipts during those years, respectively, were $3,833,434 and $6,603,447, making a grand total during three years of $17,CSS,346. The revenue for 18S4 will be larger than that of 1SS3, but, counting it the same, we have an aggregate for four years of $23,937,793. These figures, taken from the annual reports of Democratic State Auditors, represent the cash receipts to thfe State

treasury during the years 1S91 to 1S94, inclusive! and it has all been handled during Governor Matthews's term. If the Governor would inform his audi ences that during his term there has been handled very nearly $21,000,000 of the people's money, perhaps they would not be surprised that $710,000 had been paid on the State debt. And he should inform them that even 'that amount could not have been paid but for the receipt during his administration of about $719,000 from the national govern ment on account of an old war claim. The sum which he says has been paid on the State debt is about one-twenty fourth part of the total State revenue during . Governor Matthews's term. Where have the other twenty-three twenty-fourths gone? The Journal does not say they have been stolen, but it does assert that large sums have gone to support a reckless and extravagant Democratic administration. Among the itemized disbursements in the Auditor's report for 1893 appear: Attorney-general's salary .$5,000.00 Attorney-general a deputy and clerk salaries 2.6.ff) Attorney-general's office expenses.. Attorney-generals fees lo,811.S7 Attorney-general's messenger, salary iJO-J.OJ Here is a total of $24,197.15 paid out in 1893 on account of the Attorney-gen eral's office, of which $20,811.87 went Into his pocket, and he pocketed much more in 1894 than he did in 1SS3. The next time Governor Matthews points with pride to the -fact that the State debt has been reduced $710,000 during his term let him inform his audience at the same time that during his term the State revenues have amounted to nearly $24,000,000, of which a Democratic Attorneygeneral has pocketed more than $50,000, while much of the remainder has gone to support a Democratic administration. UtTLEH'S KXPOSB OF TAOCJ ARTISM. That portion of Hon. John M. Butler's speech last night devoted to the finances of Marion county rhould be care fully read by every taxpayer within its borders. The high character of Mr. Butler entitles his statements to the fullest credence, while the clear and candid manner in which they are made must carry conviction. The financial condition of Marion county is not as ,bad as it could be, but it will be as bad as can be in a few years if the present courthouse ring is permitted to continue its career of wastefulness and corruption, la five years expenditure has increased 45 per cent.; and, while expenditure has, thus Increased, the debt has kept pace with increased output. Expenditure and debt-incurring are run ning a race under the Taggart-Wilson regime. And while the debt is rapidly increasing, taxation has also, increased. In 1890 the tax assessed on the property of the county was $237,8S8.73, while in 1S93 it was $337,048.75 an increase of over 20 per cent. It is time there should be a change. The' army of tax-eaters is being too rapidly increased, and public interests are sacrificed to fill the pockets of as disreputable a band as, for the same number, the Tammany of Tweed and Crokcr can muster. If the affairs of Marlon county should be investigated by a committee such as is investigating Tammany's Infamies now. it would re veal very little but wastefulness, favoritism and rottenness to the core. Mr. Butler makes the' first clear state ment of what appears from the records of the Marlon Tammany. It is a startling one. Read it and ask your neighbor who is a taxpayer to read It." The Journal is informed that one Cullop, who cut quite a figure in the last Legislature, is saying in his speeches that the sugar schedule of the present tariff law was adopted by the votes of 34 Republicans and 4 renegade Democrats. The vote on the present sugar schedule, known as the Jones amend ment, stood 35 to 2S. The 33 votes in favor of the bill were those of Z'l Demo crats, 2 Populists and 1 Republican. The 28 votes against tha bill were those of 20 Republicans, 1 Democrat and 1 Populist. In other words, Cullop was as far from the truth as he could be. But he is in accord "with most of his party in that respect. The prompt identification of a suspected train robber In Cincinnati by his voice, by an express messenger who had never heard him speak but once, was unusual but not incredible. Every voice has a distinct individuality, and the blind, who are com pelled by their condition to maks a study of voices, recognize their acquaintances by that means quite as readily as others do by sltfht. A. F. W.: The demand notes, of which only J60.COO.0Oi) were Issued, were author ized before the suspension of specie pay ments, and while not legal tender, were receivable for customs, which was the case with no other issues of United States paper money. For this reason they were destroyed as fa?t as the treasury couU get hold of thc-rn after the issue of the green back?. At the close of the war, July 1, Kl, only JI72.GC5 of demand notes were outstanaing. In other words, they were as good as coin because, whenever presented to the treasury tr.ey were redeemed with go!J and canceled. Much useless and braln!ess chatter has been made for years about the demand notes. 2. The silver certificates represent an equal amount of silver dollars which are legal tender at their face. The number of these dollars is limited because coinage Is now restricted to a llmitei quantity of silver. With the present volume of sold and vlth the using of sliver dollars the same gold the silver dollar, not because of its legal tender power, but because gold team it ux. has the our-

I chasing power of the cold dollar, as Is the

case with the silver money of France. In Mexico there is free coinage for eilver; that is, the owners of silver bullion can take It to the mints and have it coined Into Mexi?an legal-tender dollars. Just as they can sold bullion here. As the result, nothing but silver is coined in Mexico. Its gold dollar, worth nearly twice as much as the silver In intrinsic value, has left the country, while the purchasing power of the silver dollar, which is uiillmlted.in quantity, is only a little more' than half as great as that of gold in Mexico. That is because silver ha3 practically become the money of the country, and is worth no more, when unsustained by gold or unlimited In the amount of coinage, than It is worth as bullion In the market. The coin certificates with which silver bullion was purchased under the Sherman law was kept at par because the government redeems them with gold. J. T. N, Harrodsburg: 1. The Republican Congress of 1S89-91 passed the bill refunding to the States the direct tax paid by them during the war, and Benjamin Harrison approved the bill March 2, 1S91. 2. The money was obtained by the State authorities a few months later, turned into the general funds of the treasury, and resulted in a decrease of the State debt to the amount of the refund ($719,144.03) that fiscal year. But for it. the debt of Indiana would be that amount greater than it is. 3. Cheadie and Owen, Republicans, and ' Jason Brown, Cooper, Holman, Martin, McClellan, O'Neall and Parrett, Democrats, voted for it, while Bynum, Brookshire and Shively, Democrats, voted against It. General Browne, now dead, was paired in favor of the bill. Dl'IlDLCS IX THZ2 AIR. '' Exact Beliuitlon. Minnie What do you understand by the term "platonic affection?"

Intlino Preacher Fleeced In WlcltcU Chicago and Wickeder Gotham. NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Rev. James Sotle. a full-blooded Indian, who ministers to his race in Manitoba, started from his Northern home a week ago to visit Archdeacon Kirkley. of Rye; X. Y., whom he met when the archdeacon was missionary in China. Mr. Sotle Is seventy-four years old. On the way to Chicago he met a stranger who relieved him of his cash and left him penni less in that wicked city. The Indian preacher ran across the Rev. Mr. Rawson, whom he had met before, and was supplied with money enough to get to this city. When he reached New York he did not know how to get to the Grand Central depot. te asked a policeman and was directed to the station house, where he says he was promptly locked up until morning. The next day a man accompanied the guileless preacher to the depot, bought him a ticket and gave him 50 cents, taking his watch as security. The man promised to return the watcn to me itye rectory, dui nas not uone so yet. MISSIONARIES' WORK WHAT TUB PILOTS OF CIVILIZATION HAVE UOXB IN A YEA II. Report Submitted to the Forty Elfilifli Annunl Con von I low of the American Missionary Association. LOWELL. Mass., Oct. 24. The attendance of the delegates to the forty-eighth annual meeting of the American Missionary Association was largely augmented by the arrival of a number of clergymen and delegates from the West and Southwest to-day. After the opening religious service by President Cates, the "greetings" from the national benevolent societies were received. Rev. W. B. Barton, of Boston, responded for the colleges, and gave an address on the work of the colleges. Rev. Dr. Stokes, of New York, spoke on "The Home Mission Work;" Rev. Dr. Cobb, of New York, on "Church Building," and Dr. Judson Sllth, of Boston, addressed the delegates on Liquor." All reports were of a highly encouraging nature and were received with much satisfaction by the delegates. The report of the executive committee for ' the year ending Sept. SO, 18D4, was presented by President Gates, of Amherst College. It related mainly to the work among the negroes of the South, the Southern mountain whites or American hlghlanders, the Indians and the Chinese. The field of the association extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from Florida, to Alaska, and Includes in the South the negroes and the whites, and especially in the mountains; in the West, the Indians; on the Pacific coast, the Chinese and Japanese, and in Alaska the Eskimos. Through its pupils it reaches Africa, China, Japan, Cuba and Mexico. In the South there are ninety-two common schools, mostly located in rural districts. The educational work in the mountains has kept equal pace with that of lowlands of the South. The summary of educational work in the friouth Is as follows: Chartered Institutions, 6; normal and graded schools, 36; common schools, 42; Instructors, 40J; pupils. 12,0')4. The statistics of church work show: Churches, 150; missionaries, 134; church- members, 9.38$: added during the year, 1.318; added by profession of faith, 1,086; scholars in church and mission bunaayschools, 15,335. Work among the Alaskan Indians is progressing favorably. There are now 14 churches, 243 church members, 11 schools, 86 missionaries and teachers, 417 pupils and 1,301 Sunday-school scholars. On the Pacillc coast there are 21 Chinese schools, with 31 teachers and 1,201 pupils, while 197 of the heathen have been turned from Idolatry. The society has now under its charge 110 schools and 14,222 pupils, 64G missionaries. 170 churches. 1J,237 church members and 17,015 Sunday-school scholars. The receipts for the current year were $240,649.80 and expenditures $?.81,SC2.SG, a deficit of $21,322.8t, making, the present indebtedness of the society $tG,3tf.97. As a whole the report is considered encouraging. Rev. Dsvight M. Pratt, of Portland. Me., reported from the committee on Indian work. He said that the churches in more civilized communities could find Inspiration in the rapid growth in membership of the Indan churches of Nebraska and the Dakota. He held that the association made no mistake in refusing government aid for 'its schools, as Christian enterprise cannot be hampered by alliance with the State or by being in any way subject to political patronage. The report closes with an appeal for liberal contributions. Rev. A. B. Dunning. D. D., reported on Chinese missions on the Pacific coast. He spoke of the encouraging growth of Christian belief among the Chinese in this country and asserted that they are sincere and do not Join the church from selfish and worldly motives. The number of Chinese in this country, he said,, was steadily decreasing until now there are not 100,000 In the United States. Kev. Dwight M. Pratt made an address on mission work, in which he said that Christianity is to-day proving the Inaian to be a man capable of grand expansion and achievement. He declared that the redemntlon of the Indian race, as a whole. must begin with the children and that the Indian schools must have enlarged and adenuate sunort.- He closed by saylnc: "Let no one despise the Indian any more, for he. has given us an Lllot. a Bralnard. a Mor gan and a Riggs. These apostles to the red men stana as me noDiesc representa tives of Christian zeal and consecration." CABLE TO HAWAII. Further Regarding: the Work of Ilrltti ln's Commissioners. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 24. News has been received of Great Britain's attempt to lay a cable to Hawaii. The Hrltlsh com missioners now in Honolulu .anford Fleming, of Canada, and J. Mercker. from the Colonial Office have submitted their propo sition to the government of the Republic of Hawaii asking for a lease of Necker Island and a subsidy of 1350,000 per year for fifteen years. In return for these grants they promise a cable and to make the charge for messages one shilling a word, with a reduction for messages sent by the government and for press dispatches. The commissioners ask also a condition from the government that Xeckar island shall be ceded to Great Britain in the event of the annexation of Hawaii to the United Slates. The government of Hawaii Is anx ious for cable connection, but is not satis fied with the conditions offered by the com missioners. The proposition for the condi tional cession of Neckar island to Great Britain will not be considered. This condi tion must be omitted altogether. The subsidy asked is also deemed too large. The Hawaiian government would not consider the proposition at all if any prospect for a cable to the united btates was in slcht. As the government of . this country seems to be taking no action, the otters of the Hrltl?h commissioners, if amended to suit the ideas of the Hawaiian government. may te accepxeu.

MADAM" BEDE'S RESIGNATION attorxey-gem:hal olnevs rk PLY AXD THE PRESIDENTS OltHEU. Letter from Postmaster-General Illssell Regarding Campaign Contributions and the Civil-Service Lair. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The old saw regarding the rule that won't work both ways was evidently intended to fit one of President Cleveland's rules. In an executive ord-;r, issued July 14, 18S6, Mr. Cleveland say3: "I deem this a proper time to especially warn all subordinates in the several departments and all officeholders under the general government against the use cr their ofikial positions in attempts to control political movements in their localities. Officeholders are the agents of the people; not their masters. Not only is their time and labor due to the government, but they should scrupulously avoid in their political action, as well as In the discharge of their official duty, offending by a display of obtrutilve partisanship, their neighbors, who have relations with them as public officials. They should also constantly remember that their -party . friends from whom they have received preferment have not Invented them with the power of arbitrarily managing their political affairs; Individual interest and activity in political affairs are by no means condemned. Officeholders are neither disfranchised nor forbidden the exercise of political privileges, but their privileges are not enlarged, nor is their duty to party Increased to pernicious activity by olhceholding." . ' ' The above order was Intended for mugwump consumption, and has never been enforced, except In a few cases, when the President wished to make a virtuous dis play or wanted to punish somebody. In Maryland, where Gorman's lieutenants hold office, the-Senator's friends were compelled to resign the management of party affairs after the Maryland "boss" had antagonized the President. In the South, a federal mar shal was forced, through public sentiment. to step out of office, because he was indicted for murder committed at a political meeting. In Minnesota, Marshal J. Adam Bede, or 'Madam" Rede, as he Is better known, desired to take the stump for a personal friend, but some of the admlnistrationists objected, and "Jadam's" resig nation followed. There has been no attempt to enforce the order among the hundreds of really "officious partisans" who are neg lecting their official duties and devoting most of their time to the election of Dem ocratic Congressmen and State and county officers. Even if the order was carried out. it would be regarded as the rankest of discrimination. It is intended as a warning to "subordinates"' and "officeholders under the general government." Under this order Hoke Smith was peitnltted to take an active part lh the political fight in Georgia on the administration side of the money and tariff questions. Embassador Bayard was granted leave of absence to come home and blank the Republican party to his heart's cou lent. Carlisle was. given opportunity to prepare forthcoming political speeches, and Controller Eckels is allowed to be "per nicious at Pittsburg and in his own State. In fact, the order works whichever way the President wants it. It may be enforced on some Democrats, but may remain a dead letter in the cases of others. - The publication. In St. Paul, of Mr. Bede's letter of resignation as United States marshal, is regarded at the Department of Justice as a sumclent occasion for the publication of the Attorney-general's letter of acceptance. In the course of his letter Marshal Beae, after unconditionally ten dering his resignation because he cannot con scientiously obey the President s order for bidding federal appointees doing campaign work, says: "I do this because the party to which I have ever Riven my allegiance and in the principles of which I have an abiding faith is this vear being maligned by know-nothings . and mountebanks, and charged with evils mat come from other's crimes. When I must choose between public office and my friends I. shall take my friends and nothing shall stand between my best efforts and their best interests." Mr. Rede speaks in eulogistic terms of his friend Major Baldwin, who is making the canvass for re-election to Congress,. of his record during the war and during his term as Representative in Congress and speaks with extreme bitterness of the fight that is being made by those in opposition, and concludes as follows: "Once more the dogs nre baying on his trail but there is a God in Israel who takes care of his own." ' The Attorney-general's letter accepting Marshal Bede's resignation is as follows: "I have yours of the 16th- Inst. In which you tender your resignation of the office of United States marshal on the ground that you cannot consistently or conscientiously govern yourself by an order of President Clevelind of 1SS5, which forbids federal officeholders from engaging in political campaign worn, l have just been obliged to call for the resignation of a United States marshal who, beginning a political campaign with speech-making, ended by shooting and is now under indictment for murder. From the tone and temper of your letter It would not be surprising to find you in the like predicament should you undertake to be a political worker and United States marshal at the same time. Undue excitement and recklessness are almost inevitable when to the ordinary political partisanship is added the personal Interest Inseparable from ofllceholdlng. Your resignation as marshal is accepted, to take effect upon the appointment and qualification of your successor." IlIsMell to I'ostinnst-r. WASHINGTON. Oct. 21. Postmaster-general Blssell'has addressed a circular letter to all free delivery postoffices In the country relative to forced campaign contributions. He cites two sections of the clvllservice law which provide that no federal employ shall solicit or receive money for political purposes, also that no officer shall discharge, promote, or degrade, or (n any manner change the official rank or compensation of officer or employe, or promise or threaten so to do, for giving or withholding or neglecting to make any. contribution of money or other valuable thing for any political purpose. Mr. Bissell then adds: "The foregoing provisions apply to your office, it being a free delivery postoffice, and must be strictly complied with. It also must be clearly understood thit no clerk, carrier or other employe of your office will be jeopardized in his position for a refusal to comply with a request for a political contribution. Upon receipt of this letter you will prepare a number of copies thereof and post the same conspicuously In each division of your office." The Postmaster-general, epeaklnr of this order, said that it was in compliance with the law and he intended to have It enforced in all offices In the department. "The Postoffice Department." he sai l. "Is a business, not a political Institution. It has been my endeavor to conduct it on business principles so as to give the people the best possible mall facilities. We do not want the service crippled or Interrupted for political advantages." ' TO PREVENT L A W LI J S S E S S. I!okr smltlt'ii I'lnn for CJovtrnlnif Inillit.t Territory. WASHINGTON. Oct. 21. Secretary Smith was asked to-day what he should recommend to prevent permanently the lawlessness and reign of terror that now exists In the Indian Territory. "Abrogate the treaties, ahoilsh the tribal relations, establish a terrItorli.. government and extend the Jurisdiction of the United States over the whole Territory," he replied promptly. The Secretary expressed the opinion that the local self-government of the civilized tribes was a failure thus far. Their legislatures make laws but there seems to be no way of enforcing them. Men who had all along Inen opposed to the course he suggested now saw that there was no other wuy out of th dimcully. 1U would &

that the Indians were protected In all their property rights, but r.e wouli' have the United States control sumcir.tly to rid the Territory of. the out lawn, if a terrltorI?.l .government were entablUhel Jjlea would be sent there to administer the laws and the Governor who was appointed could see that hey were enforced.The report of Governor Kenfrow. of Oklahoma, advises the consolidation of the two Territories, saying that the whites would then predominate. This being called to tht Secretary's attention he said that the whit people m the Indian Territory now largeiy predominated, but the)' had no voice m the affairs of tho government. It was true that in this white population there were many persons who vere now causing trouble, but if the United States had complete territorial jurisdiction over the country they could be driven out and the better element would prevail. The tv-crctary sail that the intruders now in th Cherokee country should be driven out.

A SLGAR TRUST CASE. Argument on the Government' .!- pent from an Adverse Decision. WASHINGTON, Oct 24. Argument was begun In the United States Supreme Court to-day on the appeal of the government from the decision of the United States Circuit Court for the eastern Pennsylvania district in favor of the American Sugar Refining Company. C C. Knight and the Spreckels and Franklin refineries, against which the government! brought suit under the Sherman anti-trust law. nx-SoIicitor-general Phillips opened for the government and John Johnson for the refiners. The present suit was brought originally with the Intention of having the sale of property and business of the Knight, the Spreckels. the Franklin and the Delaware sugar house companies to the American Sugar Refining Company declared void anl illegal under the Sherman anti-trust liw. The attorneys lor the government in their argument sought to show that the loar Philadelphia companies, prior to March, l$y2, manufactured independently .of the American Susar Company 33 1-3 por cent, of the total su;ar manufactured in the United States, competing with the American com- 1 pany, and that by obtaining control of the stock of these companitw the American Refining Company obtaliud a virtual monojoly of the sugar refining business of the United Platen, and wrre thus enabled lo limit the production anl.lncreae the price of refined sugar. The consolidation was claimed to have been a combination and conspiracy to effect an illegal object. It was represented on bthalf of the defendents that there was no Joint scheme for consolidation the part of the defendant companies, the owners of the shares of the different companies selling entlrely independently of . each other ana without any concert of, action. It was also represented that the transaction did not involve any contract except that to buy unii ell shares, and no effort to prevent the venders from engaging in the independent manufacture of suKar; nor that other perkuim should be restrained from engaging upon this business, or that production should be restrained or prices erdianced. They alto claimed that none of the manufactories had been dismantled, and asserted that more ( sugar had been manufactured In Phlladelphia since the sale than before. Furthermore they declared that each corporation continued to run under its own organization. . Condition of Inillnun Ilnnks. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Chances. In Our Money Fuvored by uiulsniutlsts iind ArchiicologlHts. NEW YORK, Oct. 24. The joint committee for the improvement of the United States coinage met lat evening at the rooms of the American Numismatic and Archaeological Society. The committee has for Its object the periodical adoption of artistic designs for the coins of the country, symbolic of historical events. Daniel Parish, of the American Numismatic and Archaeological Society, presided at the meeting In the absence of Husell Sturgis. George F. Kunse. of the same society, secretary, stated that he had called upon Mr. Preston, superintendent, of the mint at Philadelphia, who ss.id he was of the opinion that an open competition would secure the best results. Mr. Kunse advocated that the committee use its influence to have ii.OuO appropriated for equal division for the ten bent awards, tne successful design to be chosen from among the ten. The susKestior.s made lait April by the subcommittee were approved with some changes. The plan of the committee is to make a selection of ancient sna current coins for the purpose of drawing comparison between them and tne government coins anl to submit the result to a United .State. Senator. After the necessary enactment, and appropriations a Jury, composed of tea sculptors, two numif mat iiits and a government official. Is to be selected to pss Judrm;nt upon the designs submitted. T.ic competition will be open to every artist in the v world. The committee recommended that changes in the designs be made at eaca change in the a lminiitration or every ten years. Mr. Kunse believes that the cost of producing artistic designs upon the coins would not amount to more than f"J.ori for every change. Tne following societies and institutions are represented in the work: The American Numismatic anl Arcnaeoloicii Society, the Archicecuiral Iaue of New York.
