PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES. Although it is year yet before nomination1" for president mi! vU-e president by i-tn* political parties are to lie made, the business of newspiper nominations is going on nil the lime iu various parts of the country. In the republican party it seems very t^ennraily conceded that Harrison will lie re-nominated without much struggle, distasteful as the Ideals among a large Class of his party. Blaine is a much Btronirer man in every respect with the rank and file of his party thau Harrison, and if there were any certainty of his health the noininat'on would tie forced upon him in spite of any protestations ho might make, but it is considered by many that his lease 011 life at best is hut short, and in consequence he is out of the question. So far as Alger, Gresham,
Del'ew or any others meiuioued it may be said they have no show for the nomination whatever. The thousauris of oflke holders under Harrison would at the convention cut short any boom, big or little, that might be started for them. It looks at this time as if there were little or nothing to prevent Harrison's re-nomination in 1892, and we believe it will be made.
On the part of the democracy it, In ""New York, is Cleveland or Hill, and in the west, (5ray of Indiana, Black of Illinois, while the name of Gorman, of Maryland is occasionally mentioned iu connection with the oflice. We do not believe, as heretofore expressed, that any New York man can be elected if nominated and the democracy everywhere should look at this matter seriously and in its true light. The next convention should at once take the matter of nomination away from the New York factions which seem heretofore to have usurped that important position and act for the interest of the democracy of the whole country. So long as there are two wings of the democracy in that state warring on each other, as they seem continually to do, so long will the nomination, if made, of any man from th
1
state be iu jeopardy at the elec
tion. It has been so heretofore and it will be again. Whoever is strongest with the people, outside the state of New York, whether he hail from Maryland, Illinois, Indiana, or elsewhere, should be nominated by the democracy at their next national convention for president. We consider that the nomination of either Cleveland or Hill would be a fine illustration of political toin-foolery, and the final counting up of election returns in November would assuredly prove it.
The third party, a combination of agriculturalists in the western nnd southern states, will nominate candidates for president and vice president. The men comprising it are republicans and democrats but will support the third party nominees, whoever they may be. The third party will injure the republicans greatly in Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas, and the democrats in North Carolina, Florida and one or two other southern states. Their uominee may be from present indications Weaver, of Iowa, for president. Of course it does not expect to elect its national nominees, but may be able to complicate things very much and secure several positions of prominence for leaders belonging to it.
THE "SPOILS" SYSTEM.
It may be, as many believe, that those who may prefer Hill to Cleveland as a candidate for president, do so solely because they see in it, in tho event of a triumph for the party, a better opportunity for spoils aud self emolument, than they would have under Cleveland. Cleveland's well remembered word, "A public office is a public trust," grates harshly on the ears of dishonest politicians. It means thai competency aud honesty must be the requirements of him favored with official position, and that he i? not chosen especially for any special political instincts he may possess, It means if he has nothing but these he has little to recommend liini, and those who look upon political positions merely for the money to be made, regardless of the responsibility attached snould have little to do with governmental affairs. It was uoticed that many who were loudest in their denunciation of Cleveland were the fellows that failed to secure oOlce under him. We believe this man, Scott Hay, who is seeking a little cheap notoriety just now by visiting and interviewing Hill, was one of the disappointed during Cleveland's administration. He probably sees a better opening for his talents were Hill elected in 1S92. Neither the party nor the country has any use for these "spoils" seeking democrats. They should go over and cast their fortunes with the republicans, which is constituted almost solely of spoilsmen and men leagued together by the cohesive power of public plunder. The civil service business may be a farce and a fraud, but the spoils system of politics is much more so. Cleveland had a high appreciation of the duties of the oflice holder and sought to impress those under him with the importance of them. Wo do not know but what Gov. Hill would be equally as zealous, if president, but taking the class of men into consideration that are advocating his election it would seem quite doubtful.
DECIDEDLY PEESURIPTIVE.
Over in Hendrick couuty the Farmers' Alliance propose to carry things their own way and seem decidedly puritanical in their ideas, A young farmer in that couuty had a large amount of wheat to thresh, and called ou several machine owners and neighbors to help him. At evtry place he was refused assistance because lie would not join the Alliance. This was the suin and substance of his offending, He was a good enough farmer and neighbor, but would not j«in the organization, and at the last accounts the wheat remaius in the stacks. We do not know whether this is the system or n«t on which the Alliance works, but if so its demise canaot be far off. The right to think and act for tne's self is a principle accorded every citizen and he is not to be intimidat ed, prosecuted or bull-doeed in so doing. The sensible men of the organization we do not believe favor any such short sighted policy as this in Hendricks county.
THE OKA VV fXjilUS iLdjE W'E&iu/i
THE SUMMER RESORT HUMBUG. There is no greater humbug now and lias not been for years past in this country than wh.it is known as the summer health resort, and there is no sham more freely patronized. Any man having a spring of water on his place with an alkali, al imn, sweet, bitter or 110 taste at all in it, can make a fortune if he t'ets imo the right channel and booms it properly, gives it some high sounding name or has some cheap chemist to "analyze'" the water, giving its component paits a sufficient number of seven syllable foreign words aud terms that mystify. There are springs iu this country now warrauted to cure rheumatism, neuralgia, lefective hearing, dyspepsia, to make the lame walk erect, the deaf to hear and about every other infirmity with which mankind is troubled, and most of which a good physician could aid iu removing just as quick as auy of ttie alleged "waters with medicinal qualities"
I. Many persons actually believe they are benefitted by drinking and bathing in these waters. Some may be, but let any person drop busiiiSBS, take a change or air and food, not going over ten miles from home, and the same revived feeling will come over him. In nine ca«es out of ten a jaunt on the banks of Sugar Creek will do him as much physical benefit as any of the "French Lick," "Cameron," or "Alunin Spriugs" will, besides saving him much money. Had Elder Vancleave's springs been properly boomed a few years ago Crawfordsville would now be a fashionable summer '•resort," and tt:e virtues of these waters for curing all disease? would have been marvelous and astonishing—to people away from heie. But the American people love a good healthy humbug, and it is probable that the "resorts" for cure of all diseases will continue for a long time to come.
FACTS ABOUT TAXES.
iuter-
The Washington Post presents some esting tax figures: For the next two years our Government will spend annually more than $500,000,000.
To pay one year's expenses of the Government it will take nearly the combined wheat and oat crop.
Our annual output of gold, silver, copper, iron, coal, petroleum and lead will not foot our tax bill for twelve months.
Nor can we do it with a year's product of cotton, wool, rye,'barley, wine, potatoes and tobacco.
The combined capitalization of our national banks is $599,000,000. Oue year's taxes will lit arly swallow it up.
Now, all this is a Federal tax. We have also to pay city, couuty, and State taxes, We pretend to be a nation of plain people, with no aristocracy, no Princes, no stauding army and no expensive frills, and yet our taxes are more numerous than those of Austria, Germany or Great Britain.
When we calmly consider these facts and figures it must be admitted that the outlook is not very encouraging. But such evils always lead to a reaction. The people will be forced by stern necessity to demand reform or revo lution, and in a country like ours such a state of public sentiment is bound to crystalize into reform.
TIN YS. FOREIGN LABOR.
Owen, ex-Congressman, who holds a position under this administration, has lately given his party some trouble. Owen, when appealed to by anothor ex-congreesman from St. Louis to allow him to import labor from Wales to start a tin-plate factory, promptly allowed it. One of the reasons for imposing a tax 011 tiu plate was that employment would be given to American labor. When, however, the tin plate came to be made it was found that men from Wales must do the work, and Commissioner Owen promptly ruled that men from Wales might come. He very kindly assisted his protection friend. Thereat the republican newspaper applauded Mr. Owen for straining a construction so as to admit foreign labor to compete with native labor. In one breath the whole theory of protection, by making taxes higher, thereby putting more money into smithereens, But Secretary Foster had something to say. He differs with Commissioner
Owen, and uow the republican editors will have to revise their leaders. They will have to rec 11 their praises of Commissioner Owen, and the commissioner himself will have to confess that he can do other things better than interpret laws. All evouts, both he and Lis brother ex-congressman will learn that by importing foreign labor they cannot lessen the odium of the tin-plate tax, which was sufficiently high before McKiuley took hold of it.
THE New York Evening Post exposes a trick which the McKinleyitea are preparing to play in Ohio. This is nothing else than the flooding of the state, in the rural districts, with cheap tinware. Wherever there is a Republican merchant keeping a cross-roads store it is proposed to guarantee him against loss in selling all the tinware the farmers need for their family supplies at reduced prices, anil "booming" this as one of the effects of the McKinley tariff on the old Republican plea that protection, so far from Increasing popular taxation, cheapens the common necessaries. The tinware will be sold as ail American product, or as imported goods on which the price has been forced down by competition with the American product. This trick would cost a rather pretty penny, but the Republican are playing for high stakes iu Ohio this year.
Dnusr. the long continued sickness of Hon. B. W. Hauna, and which terminated in his death on Sunday last, no more attentive, faithful aud kindly assistance was ever bestowed upon any husband than that constantly given him by his wife. Hers has been indeed for two years past a sad lot, yet everything that a devoted wife could do has been given to ameliorate the condition of him who had been for HO long an indulgent husband. Tho sympathy of everyone will be extended to Mrs. Hanna in these hours of sadness, aud the hope expressed that sunshine may illuminate her pathway through the remaining days of life.
THE cheekiest piece of business was that of two or three managers of the farmers' picnic at the fair ground on Saturday soliciting some of our business men for funds to pay the oxpense of the entertainment. As it was exclusively a farmers' picnic, gotten up for their own pleasure and enjoyment, it wa3' certainly out of place to ask outsiders for aid. If they could not pay their own way they should not have undertaken the scheme at ail. They were not called upon for a cent to secure the 4th of July entertainment, but citizens paid all bills.
ilk liii W.
I THE state legislature, it should be remembered, is not responsible for auy increase in taxes iu creating the new law aside from the cents on each huudreil dollars for stato purposes. Any one can soon figure up from his assessment just what that will be. If auy county is engaged in buildiug a new court house, poor infirmary, gravel roads or making auy internal improvements, requiring increased taxation to pay for them, this should not ue lain at the door of the legislature, but to the county commissioners. The maledictions must be heaped upon the county authorities, not the state.
ANOTHER TRUST.
The leading barb wire manufactures of the United States have formed a trust, aud hoieafter those using their goods must pay higher prices or do without them. The barb wire men have capitalized uuder the name of Columbia patent Company, and the royalty on on the manufacture of wire is to be advanced from $1 to $8 per ton. Farmers are the principal users of barb wire fence. It is order now, we suppose, to urge the formation of a wheat trust, although the existence of one evil does not justify the creation of another.
THE democracy of Indianapolis appear to have done a very wise act iu re-nominating Mitchell for mayor. His administration has been clean, energetic and for the best interests of that growing city. That he will be elected there seems to be no doubt the best class of citizens will give him their support among both parties.
HARRISON starts ou an eastern electioneering tour in a few days. He is to assist the ceremony of unveiling a soldiers' monument at Bennington, Yt., next week, and from there he will go to New York to remaiu for a time. As the nomination will be made iu less than a year it stauds him iu hand to move around often now.
STATE TAX COMMISSIONER WALKER.au ironclad republican aud Governor Hovey's appointee, says the new tax law is a good oue. He is in a position to understand its practical operations, and his testimony will carry a good deal more weight with fair minded people than the ravings of the tax dodgers and their organs,
THE flood of "complimentary" fair tickets from neighboring counties has set iu, all of them expecting about $5.00 worth of advertising iu payment for one ticket. The best way is to enclose the money and retain the coinpli* mentary, as it would be much the most popular with publishers.
THE grasshoppers, which a few years ago were the curse of Kansas, seem lately to have come east. Iu the eastern part of Indiana, in Jay aud neighboring counties, they are represented as playing ^haroc with the growing crops,
PRESIDENT HARRISON invested $20,000 last week in Indianapolis real estate. A public office is a private snap, aud Harrison has determined likewise that all his salary shall not be spent in receptions and fishing excursions.
