BBOOKSHIRE AND THE COPYBIGHT BILL. Tlio (Jrawfordavillo JOUHNAIJ is ouo of tbo ablest Republican papers in tlie district, and lias roasted Brookshire about failing to keep liis promise to Maurice Thompson on the international opyright bill. Tbia being the case will the JOUHNAIJ tell us how Mr. Mount stands on the question?—llockville Tribune.

The point TIIK JOURNAL made was the failure of Sir. JBrookshire to fulfill his ante eleotion promises. We do not know how Mr. Mount would vote on the question, but one thing we do know, and that is, whatever Mr. Mount promises to do he will faithfully perform. So far us Tnii JOURNAL'S position is concerned it is in favor of the bill. We think it as great a crime for a Canadian publisher to steal Ben Hur, the Tallehasse Girl, or Snatched From the Poor House as it is for an American publisher to steal them. The authors are protected from a thief at home but are at his mercy abroad. Besides the proposed law is not retroactive. It only proposes to make it apply to the authors of future books. We do not believe that the public conscienca is entirely seared, or that even there is a general desire among the people to reap tlie benellts of stolen property. A street gamin oun steal a copy of the Eockville Tribune left at the door of a subscriber by an honest newsboy and sell it for half price and make money. And if complaint should be made the

Tribune would grow righteously indignant. The patron of the gamin says that neither the Tribune editor nor anybody else should interfere, as he is enabled by this means to get his newspaper olieaper. The same principle is applicable. As well uphold the thief who steals the work of men's hands as to uphold the thief who steals the work of men's brains. The United States constitution provides that Congress may secure to inventors and authors, for a limited timo, the exclusive right to their writings and discoveries. Congress fiom the foundation of the government exercised the power granted, and no one has ever complained of it. But what good will the constitutional provision, and the laws made under it, do, if foreign nations are permitted to nullify them?

OUR PLATFOBM.

One of the ablest documents ever endorsed by a political convention is the platform adopted by the Republicans of Indiana at Indianapolis last Wednesday. It is an ideal one and Bhould be thoroughly considered by every voter before the election next November. A summary is as follows:

It indorses the administration of President Earrison. It approves of the conduct of Speaker Reed.

It oondemns the Democratic doctrine of Free Trade. It favors reciprocity.

It approves the pension legislation of the present Congress. It approves the Silver bill.

It opposes child labor. It favors the Lodgo bill. It opposes alien ownerships of land. It demands laws to oppose food adulteration.

It denounces trusts and combinations. It favors reasonable river and harbor improvements.

It endorses Governor Hovey's administration. It demands nonpartisan control of benevolent institutions.

It denounces White Cap outrages. It demands local option and approves of the "original" package bill.

It demands the election of United States Senator by the popular vote. It demands public improvement wards for oitieb.

It demands the regulation of foreign building associations. It condems the last Legislature for filling offices with partisans.

It denounoes the Democratic platform for making oharges against the State and federal judiciary.

It favors free text books for the public schools. It oondems the financial administration of the State's finances.

It opposes any inoreasa in State taxation. It condemns tlie legislative gerrymander.

THE friends of John L. Goben are busy circulating the report that John C. Wingate has written numerous letters to all ports of the county in whioli the person to whom the letter was addressed is urged to 'do all in his interest independent of the rest of the ticket." The impression intended to be created was that Mr. Wingate was attempting to sacrifice the balance of the Republican ticket for his own benefit. The facts are that immediately following his nomination Mr. Wingate was comjislleii to owe the State with the expectation of being gone Bix weeks. He realized that he would not be able to see any of the delegates for that length of tiara aud deemed it but matter of courtesy that he should tender his thanks for the cordial support he had received at their hands. He therefore sent a letter to each of the delegates tho following of which is an exact copy:

DEAR SIB:—I want to thank you for your kindness to me in our late convention and say that anything you can do for me without neglecting either of the other candidates will be greatly appreciated. I will gladly listen to any suggestion that you have to make at any time. With best wishes I am yours,

JOHN C. WINGATE.

THE JotJBNAii has seen a number of these letters and there is nothing in any to suggest the idea that Mr. Wingate desired to sacrifice any portion of the tioket for his own benefit. Mr. Wingate is not conducting that kind of a campaign. It is merely a stop thief cry of the friends of Goben. Many Democrats know that he will sacrifice the entire Democratic ticket in his own behalf.

J. J. W. BILLING SLY, a brother of Oapt. H. M. Billingsly, has been nominated for Congress by the Republicans of the Seventh district. Mr. Billingsly is the editor of the Drainage and Tile Journal and his nomination is regarded as peculiarly strong. It is expected that he will tile the district and drain it of its Democratic majority.

TWENTY-TWO members of the Demo era tic Central Committee of Tippecanoe county have been bounced from their positions for the alleged reason that they were not loyal to tho ticket. And now harmony in the Democratic ranks of the Battle Ground county is spelled with a big H.

TIPPECANOE county has fifty voting precincts under the new law and the Courier estimates the expenses of holding the oleotions this Fall at $5,000 Montgomery county has forty-three pre oinote and by the same estimate it will cost this county 84,300.

ASSAULTED IN THE DAKK.

Shot Guns Used to Scare Thomas Ward Jr.—Bad Blood in Madison Township, Special to tho Journal:

LINDEN, Sept. 23.—"And now comes one Thos. Ward, Jr., who on his oath says that on the night of the 21st inst near the hour of 10 p. m., one C. V, Burke, Ed. Burke et al., on the public highway, in the county of Montgomery State of Indiana, met him on the said public highwuy, and then and there, having tho ability to do so, assaulted him and threatened to do him bodily injury, having in their possession one double barrel gun and one siugle barrel gun said guns being loaded that they then and there did shoot at him and snap caps at him, and otherwise make him sore afraid, inasmuch that he did not know whether he would live."

The above was the substance of a complaint filed in and before our worthy squire, Walter Jones, upon the strength of which suit was had to-day, and after all the evidence was in, and the attorney for tho prosecution, one Ben Swank, from the confines of Coal Creek, had aired himself to his heart's content, tlie Squire dismissed the case as to all of the prisoners, except C. V. Burk. Him he fined iiye dollars and tho costs, from whioh decision Mr. Burk took an appeal, giving bond immediately and before leaving tho court room a warrant was served on Thomas Ward, Jr., for malicious trespass, C. V. Burk bringing the suit. The trial was set for next Friday when the pure cus sedness that lias been carried on in that neighborhood for a year or two will be made public property.

Important Testimony.

The Sunday Leader announces that the State has had another analysis made of parts of Mrs. Pettit's body in the possession of Expert Chemist Peters, by Prosessor Haines, of Rush Medical College, Chicago, and that tue result is to entirely confirm the correctness of the work of Dr. Peters, and show, as before, the presence of strychnine. It is supposed that Professor Haines will be put on the stand on the trial of Pettit at Crawfordsville next month.—Lafayette Call.

Dr. Haines is one of the greates chemical experts in the country, and his analyses are taken as authority everywhere. His being placed upon the stand will make the task of Col. DeHart in shattering the expert testimony greater than he at first bargained for.

PROSPECTS OP A QUOftUM THIS SESSION.

Congressman Anxious to Get Away—A Democratio Leader in Trouble.

(Special Corrcsp. of Tlie Journul,) WASHINGTON, D. O., Sept. 2 0.—'Hi

Republican managers have given up olU hopes of securing tlie presence oi quorum of their own members in the House for the remainder of the session It is recognized that it is almost an impossibility to drag members away from nominating conventions, either in existence or in prospective, or to lead them from a close fight in which their political existence is imperiled. Hence, no Republican quorum can be depended upon and the organization of the House at least, so far as business is involved is at the mercy of the Democrats who' "git up and git" to break a quorum whenever they oatch a snilT of so-called political legislation. This, of course, settles the fate of many measures which meet with Democratio opposition, such as the bill to prevent tho (futrageous

Ohio gerrymander. In the opinion of everybody the session is rapidly drawing to a close. Nothing now remains for action of the legislation classed as "indispensable,' but the tariff and the last appropriation bill, the general deficiency which gathers up all the odds and ends and pays the remaining debts of the fiscal year just doad. But a few days will be required to dispose of these measures, and then the first session of the fiftyfirst Congress will have become

history

its many good and striking acts marred somewhat by personal episodes which it were well had they never happened

When Congress does adjourn Speaker Reed and other leading Republican orators will bo hurried into the close States and districts, politically speaking where they will go to work with willing and confident hearts. The Speaker will aid Major McKinley to out into that Democratio majority which the Ohio legislature so sneakingly devised to remove a brilliant man from public life. And it can be said that Republican managers have the strongest kind of hopes that Major McKinley will wage a winning fight. As a man he is most aggressive and fights to win, but more than all the Republican committeemen say that they have strong faith in the fairness of Ohio men who will not be a party to the unfortunate plan to retire this brilliant man from legislative life. The truth is Ohio is beooming weaker in national legislation instead of stronger as it should be, and local interests will not permit the withdrawal of such efficient men as MoKinley and Butterworth, not to mention others, irrespective of political faith. With such champions as these the material interests of the State are always safe, and therefore, Belf interest and local pride dictate that in danger be run through their expulsion from Congress.

Another Democratic leader here has got into trouble, but this time it is a man of no consequence to the country. He is a local politician, though, in a city without a vote and his name is Thompson, with a p. The cause of his trouble is an attack of Louisiana lottery he having been counsel, agent, tioket distributor and what not in this swindle upon the people. But the postal agents have laid vile hands upon liim and the chanoes are that tho lottery people will have to engage other counsel at least temporarily and to employ lawyers to keep Lawyer Thompson from leading the life of a reoluse at Albany. Handling lottery tiokets is ticklish business new it being almost a crime to even ead one, AHMET,
