TIIK JOUUNAI.. with characteristic enterprise proposes to enliven upthedull season by getting out a mammoth souvenir edition, one worthy of the good city of Crnwfordsville and Unfertile and wealthy Montgomery county. There have been special editions and special write-ups before, but noth. ing on so large a scale nor so expensive as this one will be. Money will not be spared to make it fitly represent the community to which TIIK Jo'.'KNAT. has pinned its faith and which has continually expressed its confidence in TIIK JOIUNAI. by liberal and cordial support. In the first place we have engaged the most experienced and able man we could lind the country over to take charge of the work. Mr. F. G. lloagland. lie has been in the work six years and is now just from a tour of the South where he got out special editions for the leading papers in the leading cities. The souvenir edition will consist of twelve pages in addition to the regular four pages of the Daily and the regular twelve pages of the Weekly. It will printed on a fine quality of super-cal-endared paper instead of the usual news print and will be profusely illustrated with the best of half tone cuts or photogravures, true and exact reproductions of photographs of public buildings, college, and school buildings business blocks, residences, and view: and portraits of our leading citizens. There will be a historical sketch of the city and county and no interest will be intentionally overlooked. The whole will make historical-commer-cial souvenir which every citizen will want to read and preserve to show to future generations the condition of our community in ls'.i-l. Mr. lloagland began to secure material for his write up to-day and as he calls on our people any favors shown him will be duty appreciated by us

Out on Bail.

Henjamin Perkins, who was men tioned in Saturday*:-* .IOI H.NAI. as having* been arrested for embezzling 5?20o from the American Express Company, is out on bail. Mr. Perkins is agent for the Express Company ami for the Clover Leaf and Monon railroads at Linden and when Messrs. Fargo and lloagland, of the Express Company, came to eheek up his accounts he was found to be short the sum mentioned. He could give no satisfactory explanation and so was brought to town and placed under arrest. He was placed in jail but was released in a few minutes, James Mahorney having furnished the £."»oo bond placed by Mayor Handel when Perkins waived examination. Mr. Perkins protests his iunoccney of any intentional wrong but acknowledges being accountable for the shortage. He will fare badly at the hands of the American Express Company. The motto of this company is, "Let no one escape who can possibly be stuck." Mr. Perkins can and in all probability will be "stuck" and stuck as hard as the Express Company can do it.

Probably Fatal Accident.

Saturday while working* on a bridge between Waynetown and Hillsboro. Harrv Crtighton. of the latter place, met with a probably fatal accident, lie was digging with a pick in an excavation when a ^arge chunk of dirt dropped from above striking him on the head and shoulders and driving him to the ground. His face was driven against the sharp end of the pick which penetrated his right eye and coming out of his lip. The sight of the eye was destroyed and a terrible wound inflicted on his face. His leg was also broken in two places and the chances '^r his recovery are poor.

A Uood Trade hi Diamond*. People will buy diamonds iu spite of hard times, as C. L. Host, our popular jeweler, will testify. In just one week ending last Saturday, lie sold four diamond rings and one diamond pendant, the buyers being from Crawfordsvillc. Chicago, Indianapolis and a city in Northern Indiana. Mr. Host carries as fine a line of precious stones as can be found in the State and his success in this branch of the trade is due to the confidence the people have in his judgment in regard to stones..,,

No Vault There.

Quite a large crowd assembled at the old town cemetery Saturday to witness the opening of the grave of .lames Cronin. it was supposed that the deceased Mr. Cronin was buried in a sealed vault and there was considerable 'interest manifested to see it opened. The grave diggers, however, proved that there was no vault there and the remains were found to be in about the same condition as others.

Johie Turned I «»ose.

Josie oOneil. charged with having lifted Jim Krown for $14 in cash, was up before Mayor Handel this morning for trial. It was clearly established that James was too much under the influence of good red li«juor when touched to realize exactly who did it. As there was

A FOURTH OF JULY SERMON.

Dr. Cunningham Talkti of the Duties of lit i/oitsliip and lncideutul) BCIUUIKH that Anarchists Ought To

Strung Up,

The subject of Dr. Cunningham's sermon at Center church yesterday morning was, "Another Hirthdav, or Hail Politics. It was a strong and intensely practical sermon, bearing directly on the condition of the country and the remedy. Dr. Cumningham was of the opinion that the hard times, the strikes and the anarchy to which we seem to be drifting were but the symptoms of a disease which could rightlv be called "Had Politics." Improve the politics of the country and these evils will disappear, he said. The way to improve the politics is for each good, Christian citizen to get into politics and not leave the work of governing the..country.,.to,. lowct'.r:ve.lements.

We regret the lack of space wbich prevents us from publishing Dr. Cunningham's remarks iu full, but below we give, without any attempt at continuity, some of the best things he said: "On this auniversary the aspect of our national life is unusually somber and keeps us close upon serious thoughts, and talks to us of repentance and mending of our ways, before the Lord. Almost every day brings to us new occasion of this kind. There is nothing like a cataclysm, but the signs are bad. Two words explain somber colors of this birthday—Had

Politics. It seems to me that it is best for us to acknowledge them so ant1 instead of being anxious to explain them away, make light of them and nurse indifference as we are apt to do. strive to increase our fears, our sense of responsibility and transgression. Our American sin against our country is inditVereut to our patriotic responsibility, and to the value of the single citizen, the single example, the single vote. We hide behind party, government, community, organization and say: 'It is the business of others, not mine.' We are wise to trace shortcoming to our own consciences feel ourselves part of all the evil which is being done ami threatened, say. each one. though in a fardiJTcrent spirit, what the vain Louis- said. *1 am the State.' "The fortune of the republic is involved in the question of the piety and intelligence of those who work with their hands. "We have not time for anything so unimportant as looking up into the blue sky. pasting days out of doors, learning our duties to the State, molding the mind andstoring it with power ind discipline by the primitive and ditbcult process of thinking originally. We must own and operate a plant of some sort or else feel jealous toward the neighbor who does. Our politics, unlike that of the Oreeks, is housekeeping, the business of owning things, making things, dealing in things, possessing things.

A material civilization is sure to be short-lived. When men get to living chielly in the getting and spending of riches they are uear destruction. They will be soon having each other. They will soon be beasts with no regard for for human life. There will be nothing sacred to them. "The party cannot clothe a villain with virtue. You cannot vote for your party and not for the man.

All that a man hath will he give for his life, but his life will he give for the State. This republic is sacred to us. worth life. What we would give life for we will not give common interest and serious attention to. We will trifle and palter with the interests of the republic on ordinary days and on some great day oifer tr.ir lives on its altar. We won't live for what we would die for. Hut this trifling must not go much farther. 1 tell you it is time for citizens to become serious. We must begin to draw from deeper sources the activities of public and private life. The sacredness is going out of things. Politics is place-hunt-ing, with but little regard often for the ideal of honor, manliness, patriotism. Things are discussed. ar»d done on too low a plane. "A ballot is a sacred thing, an American ballot. It represents all that is most triumphant in the history of man on the earth. It is not aimed by the intelligence, and the idea, and the religions conviction that aimed the rifle and the cannon thirty-three years ago and one hundred and eighteen years ago. Ore of the perils of the country is the indilVerentism of the better classes of the country. It is not encouraging to hear one say that he would as soon see his son go into a prison as into polities, or that he would rather pay Tamanny its demanded bribe than not get his work done on the street: that one cannot afford to make a stand against corruption in elections for that would mean defeat of the party: that measure is of more importance than man: that the only safe, and honorable and paying course is to let politics alone. "We are drifting rapidly on anarchy.

Hut the cause to be removed is bad politics. If the anarchist proclaims himself by his stilleto. his conspiracies or even by doctrines he should be destroyed summarily as the only effectual safe-guarding of life and property and existence of society. Summarily. Neither be too careful whether he is a sane or an insane criminal. A dozen men must be killed and another dozen of good killed if needs be. the bottom fact is that life, property and freedom must be obtained. "Who are the strikers, the anarchists, and tin-, tramps'.' They are foreigners, and the low moral elements of society which bad politics have brought over to carry elections with. Why does not the Congress deal set* iously with this root evil? Hecause the Congress is not and has not .been for many years a serious body. The great business of the average Congressman when in Congress is to plan for getting sent back. What the party wants is votes. It is little or no matter who casts them or whether they are really cast or fictitiously. Tin: election is the main thing, llow it is carried is quite subordinate. There is no man who has risen and said: will not accept an election victory which has been bought.' No man has yet risen to this extent better than his party: there an? few who condemn it till their candidate is safely landed or defeated. The foe of the republic is the dishonest voter. There is no other worth to mention beside him. And there are few honest voters in the whole country. One man will sell his vote. Another would not do so meat) a thing but he would buy his neighbor's. Another would do neither of these but he would wink at both if done on his side. Another would not go so far but would contribute money which he is morally certain goes to swell the corruption fund. Another would vote his party ticket for no

other reason than that it is his party and his father's and his friends' party. 1 believe that there are few men in the country who are not guilty of one or other of these charges, and that there, is not one of us who votes with the conviction, the force of his highest moral and patriotic conviction. Our troubles lie rooted in bad polities. And our bad politics spring out of the selfishness, the indift'erentism, the easy political morality of our respectable and Christian people. There is no worse sentimentjthan this: 'My party right or wrong, or my country right or wrong.' It will ruin the countrv."

On next Monday TIIK JOUUNAI.'"will close up the World's Fair Art Portfolio business. After that day it will be impossible to secure back numbers. Orders for binding, however, will be taken at any time. Those who wish to complete their sets should conic in early while we have plenty of each number. To ward the last of the week it is probable that our stock will be considerably broken. About Friday we will make our first shipment of Portfolios to Chicago for binding. The only proper way to keep these valuable souvenirs of the fair so that they can be enjoyed by future generations is to have them substantially bound. We will guarantee our binding to be first-class in every particular. Call at our oflice and see the different styles of binding at ^1.00. SI.50 .and £.'1.00 and we pay the express charges both ways.

We feel completely satisfied with our distribution of these World's Fair Portfolios. During the twenty weeks which the series have been running we have put out about ten thousand books. They have gone into the homes of the rich and poor, bringing pleasure to all. and but for our enterprise in this affair many would never have had an adequate idea of the greatest exhibition the world ever sa.w.
