MOUNT VS. BROOKSHIRE.

To tho Editor of The Journal.

•Tames A. Mount, Republic an candidate for Congress will soon visit tbis oounty to make speeches in favor of the infamous MoKinley tariff law. Every farmer and laboring »nan should vote against Mr. Mount. Down with the robber tariff.—Sullivan Times.

James A. Mount was a prallant Union soldier and is a farmer. He has made speeches all over Sullivan county in the interest of the farmers and the soldiers. In hi: speech at Merom, Oct. 11, 1890, he said: "Every Union soldier should have a service pension." Contrast this patriotic sentiment with the sentiments of Voorheos Brookshire as expressed at Farmersburg, Sullivan county, in 1888. He said: "1 uphold all of Grover Cleveland's vetoes. These vetoes were pension bills gotten up by old soldier bums that lost their limbs in coupling cars, street brawls and 4th of July explosions ten years after the war closed." In 1890 in his speeches in Sullivan county he didn't even mention the question of pensions. Scldiers. choose between the two whom you will support.

WM, E. REID.

SULLIVAN, IND.. Oct. 25. The above extract and letter need no further comment. Doubtless Mr. Brookshire expressed his honest sentiments in his Farmersburg speech in 1888, while in 1890 in the hope of securing some soldier votes he ignores the question and apologizes afterward by saying that he forgot to mention the subjeot. So far as we have heard has he mentioned the subject in a single speeoh he has made during the campaign.

CANNOT BE REPEALED.

The McKinley bill cannot be repealed till the Democracy shall obtain control of both the Senate and the Bouse, and there is no possibility of such a thing coming about short of the next ten years. With the new States safely in the Uniou, there will be a Republican majorityin the Senate for ten years, in spite of all that the Democracy can do. The merits of the McKinley bill are therefore to be thoroughly tried before it can be repealed. What then, have business men to gain by further agitation of the question at present. The business of the country requires repose, and it will be to the interest of all our enterprises of every kind to let experience determine whether the McKinley bill is a good or bad thing. If it should turn out disastrously it can be repealed.

Let experience determine its good and bad features, and then we shall know what amendments to make to it.

ELOQUENT FACTS.

UNDER the infamous gerrymander 259,85 Democrats are represent in Congress by ten Congressmen, while 265,165 Republicans have only three representatives. In other words, on the congressional tioket, two years ago, the Republican Congressional ticket carried the State by a majority of 5,180, and yet the State is represented in Congress by ten Democrats and three Republicans. And this is the way the Democratic party oarnes on free representative government. They are not satisfied with disfranchising the colored Republicans of the South, but resort to disfranehise the white Republicans of the North. Will honest people longer tolerate this kind of dishonesty in politics

THE FUTURE.

The belief is becoming quite general that we are entering in an era of a very great material development and prosperity. Tnere is undoubtedly a tendency everywhere toward better times. Wheat is again over $1,00 p.r bushel in Chicago, and the judgment of competent men is that trom this time forward all kinds of farm products are going to command better prices. The manufacturing and mining industries are experiencing an aotivity they have not known for years and altogether the outlook is most encouraging for long years of growth and prosperity in all our industries. Whether it is to be attributed to the late legislation of Con gress or to other causes, there is no doubt that "tbe good times coming have begun to come.

Ir the soldier will stop and reflect a moment he will see what all this talk about the tariff means. It means that the Democrats wish to reduce the revenue by reducing tbe tariff so there will be nothing to pay pensions with. Then they can pose aa the soldier's friend and fall back upon the excuse that there is no money in the treasury to pay pensions. Thus they hope to hold the soldier's vote and at the Bame time oheat him out of his pension. Any soldier voting ti. Democratic ticket votes to rob himself.

DEMOOKATS

are repeating the charge

that the Republicans "have oreated a deficit in the Treasury," wherein there was a surplus of $100,000,000 when Cleveland went out of the office." There is no defioit the debt statement of October 1 shows a surplus of over §59,000, 000, and during Harrison's administration the Treasury has bought and canceled $205,714,410 in bonds, that is it has paid that much of the debt, and stopped the interest th-areon.

THERE has been an increase in the circulation to the extent of §93,000,000 since October 1,1889. This fact is obtained from a comparison of official figures at that date with those of the same month this year. The man who says the volume of the currency is being contracted is either needlessly and inexcusably ignorant of the situation or is a mischief-maker who ought to be exposed.

IF you have been in the State six months, in the township 60 days and in the precinct 30 days you area legal voter. Watch for strange characters and persons not entitled to vote and see that they are challenged on election day.

JEALOUS LOT."'

[COXTIXI'BH FROM IA (i.L

there is no evidence of a conspiracy to commit the act charged in the indict mout."

Judge Snyder first made aph'.iu statement of what tho state wished to prove by the statement Mrs. Whitehead made to G. W. Switzer. The question to be decided was whether these facts were admissible in evidence against Fettit. Generally speaking statements or admissions made by a third party in the absence of the defendant are not admissible. Thero are exceptions, however. Tho Judge then gave a number of these exceptions which were nearest the case in hand,proved conclusively by able authorities that this case could not come under them. Coming to the point he quoted his rules and authorities for action and said:

A conspiracy Is a combination of two or more persons by some concerted action to accomplish some criminal or unlawful purpose or to accomplish some purpose not. in itsell' criminal or unlawful, by criminal or unlawful means.

It is claimed by the State if I correctly understand counsel, that the evidence belore the jury tends to establish a conspiracy, ou tho part of the defendant and Elma C. Whitehead to (jet married, ami as a means to this end murder Huttie Pettit. Conceding, but uot deciding that there can be such a thing- as conspiracy between a married man and an unmarried woman to marry each other, and that there is evidence before the jury tending- to establish such a conspiracy, let us test the question before us by the rules above quoted:

The conspiracy. If there was one, was a conspiracy to do a lawful act, and to resort to unlawful means to accomplish the design. When did the conspiracy eudV It seems to me very clear that ti.e unlawful act is the gist of tho conspiracy, and when that was consummated the conspiracy was at an end for what remained to be done was perfectly lawful. There can, certainly, be nothing unlawful In an unmarried man and an unmarried woman, marrying. After tho death of Hattie Pettit tho defendant was free to marry Mrs. Whitehead and there would be nothing unlawful in the act, or in tho doing of those things necessary to accomplish it, and it is of the very essence of a conspiracy thct the act to be done must be unlawl til,or the means to accomplish it must be unlawful, and it follows in the latter case that when the unlawful means are at an end, the conspiracy Is at end, and the parties may do what they have a lawful right to do. When tho unlawful act was consummated the agency of each for both terminated aud statements thereafter made by one in the absence of the other are not admissible as evidence against the absent one. There is however, another test upon which I prefer to rest my decision. It is this: The acts, declarations, or adinissi ns to be admissible must be lu furtherance ol the common illegal design. That is they must, in some way indicate an lutentiou or purpose to reach the desired cud, and in their nature be calculated to promote thatend. Now what Is there in the facts referred to or in the relation of them by Mrs. Whitehead that is calculated to do this, lain wholly unable to discover anything. It was simply a confession prompted by the pangs of a guilty conscience, or a fabrication of a weak, designing, disappointed, or perhaps jealous woman, lu cither case it was not intended or calculated to further any unlawful design. If she were present her testimony as to the facts sought to be proved by her unsworn statements would be admissible, but her statements above referred to, made to a third party cannot be admitted. The objection of the deiense Is sustained.

—On the cross-exsmination of Rev. Switzer nothing new was elicited. JOHNW. GRAVES,

Deputy Sheriff, of Tippecanoe, said Pettit was arrested the 5th of December last by the witness as an agent for the State of Indiana carrying a|rcquisition from the Governor. Did not arrest Pettit but Detective Murphy did Haywood then handed out a private detective's ttar which Graves identified as one taken from the under side of the lapel of Pettit'o vest. Brought Pettit to ^Lafayette on D-JO. 6. Before leaving Columbus saw Pettit gather up a lot of papers in his room. Haywood then offered the badge in evidence and it was entered over the objections of the defense.

REV. J. H. WILSON,

of South Bend, has known Pettit since '82' also Mrs. Pettit visited them in Juno 89' at Shawnee talked with Pettit and told him that Mrs Pettit said he was neglecting her by being absent sev eral days at a time without her knowing wnere he was Pettit said he would do better. At conference after Pettit's withdrawal said to Pettit, "Have you awakened to the enormity of the crime with which you are charged. Look me in the eye aud tell me you are innocent and I will go back to the conference and die but that I see you get justice." Pettit replied, "you had better let it drop, Wilson."

DARL.INUTON

Campbell's Hall was packed to its utmost capacity Saturday night, when Committee man Butler called the house to order and introduced as the speaker of the evening James A. Mount. Mr. Mount first congrat ulated himself, that alter weeks of active campaigning he was now at home among friends and neighbors, those whom he knew and those who knew him, as he had first saw the light of day in this township. He then reviewed the acts of the last Congress showing the audience wherein the Repub lican party had made some wholesome law and was now as ever in the lead on the side of right. He then explained the workings of the late McKinley bill showing one and all the benefits derived therefrom, especial ly the farming part of the community. He then took up our State issues, and explained the workings of the last legislature, whereby with strict Democratic economy they had managed to get along with just a few more doorkeepers than members—thereby in the real practice of economy increasing the State dobt annually $400,000. He then appealed to his late comrades in arms to stand firm for their rights, that while we had not as yet received our just dues the prospects was bright for a service pension, and if ever granted it would be by the Republican and not by the Democratic party. His audience

was mostly farmers with quite a number of Democrats all of whom paid close attention and his speech will certainly do much good here. As one Democrat said on leaving the hall, ".litn is one of us and what is good for Jim Mount is good enough for me."

E- viewofOo. E, 72d Regiment. Tin members of Co. K, 72d Regiment Indian:! Volunteers, held a reunion last Thuiv-BY JU tho home of Ambrose Rem ley, ii'-ar Wesley last night. There were ten of the boys present and the occasion was a most enjoyable one in every respect. A most bountiful feast was spread by Mr. and Mrs. Remlev which was relished with an appetite peculiar to an old soldier. After disposing of the elegant repast an organization was effected by electing Ambrose Remloy Piesldent and L. 13. McClamroclc Secretary. The boys then presented their host and comrade a fine gold headed cane, the presentation speech being made by A.

Back Taxes Paid In Full. The Roudabusli estate has paid into the county treasury in the way of baok taxes the sum of $1,000 and will receive 8400 more next Spring. The cases of the State to reoover penalty were oom-pro-.nised for about naif the amount, but the county and State taxes were paid in full.

Judge Sellars at Darlington.

To the Editor of The Journal: JudgeJ.M.SeJlars spoke here the other night. He introduced himself as coming to Instruct the farmers, because he know more than they did had more sense than they had because he was a lawyer and less profligate, In tho struggle for bread, butter and clothing, his wife would make farmers wives ashamed of themselves In the matter of economy In cutting, fitting, arranging, making something new out of something old, saving everything, intimating that farmers' wives were wasteful and improvident. He then tackled Senator Mount's speech and after a half hour's hard pounding with the democratic sledge failed to make an impression on a single propossltion of Mount's. He failed to prove a single thing he said himself or disprove a single thing Mount had said. Figures of any denomination flowed readily from his tongue frequently proving the same proposition, but each time with different amy of figures. He made the assertion that the r,-.ason salt, calico and groceries were so high in 1810 was because it was all home market scarcity of some things and a surplus of others, proving that the law of supply and demand govern prices. He then discussed the tariff, c'alming that it enhanced values in ev» rything we had to buy, but ridiculed the idea of a protection on farm products, enhancing the value of farm commodities intimating that it reduced prices on stock, grain, fruits, etc. If protection stiffens prices in one department, why not the same protection in any other department, or vice versa, lower them. He claimed that Brookshire voted for the Sei vice Pension

Bill, a bill that never got further than the House commitee. It was a splendid Republican campaign speech. Pity that there is no more of him. Tho Republicans should spread him all over tho district. X.
