THE CONFEDERATE FATHERS. The editor of the Crnwfordsville JOCHNAII haa made the startling discovery that the Confederate Constitution is a part of the Democratic National platform on the tariff question. If the Confederates were wise enough to adopt the wisdom of the fathers who framed the Constitution of the United States, that no warrant lies in Congress to tax the people for anv other purposes than to raise revenue, then wero they wise in 'their day.—Frankfort Cresccnl.

The Crescent having the courage to admit that the Confederate Constitution and the Democratic platform on the tariff question are identical, it ought to have the courage to say that Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Adams, Monroe, and in fact sill the fathers were in favor of a tariff for the protection of manufactures and agriculture, Jefferson being in favor of a tariff so high as to make it prohibitory. In both of his inaugural addresses and in each of his eight annual messages to Co-.^ress Mr. -Jefferson emphasized lii'j in favor of high duties. In his ^htb and last message he used wordii that even the

Crescent cannot misunderstand. Said he: The situation into which we have thus been forced has impelled us to apply a portion of our industry and capital to internal manufactures and improvements. The extent jf this conversion is daily increasing, and little doubt remains that the establishments formed and forming will, under the auspices of cheaper materials and subsistence, the freedom of labor from taxation with ue, and of prutectimj duties ami jjrohibitions, become jiermanent.^f j.

So when the Crescent exalts tue Confederate constitution and commends it for its wisdom it does it without any authority of the fathers. The Constitution of the United States authorizes levying tariff duties, and the First Congress within seventy hours after iLs organization adopted a resolution declaring "that duties ought to be levied on »goods, wares and merchandise imported into the United States." This resolution was introduced in the House by

James Madison. And the second measure adopted by both Houses was a tariff act, and its preamble distinctly declared that the imports were "necessary" among other things "for the encouragement and protection of manufacturers.'''' The Crescent must seek elsewhere than from the fathers for comfort in its free trade views.

THE STATE TICKET.

The State ticket nominated at Ft. "Wayne on Tuesday is received everywhere with the greatest enthusiasm and $ the approval of the Republican voters.

Individually and collectively it is composed of first clasB men. It is not only strong as a whole but in all its parts. Different interests are represented and geographically a better distribution could not have been made. The campaign has been inaugurated under the most favorable auspices. With both State and National tickets in the field satisfactory to every voter an 3 platforms of principles in accord with public sen timent there Bhould be no doubt as to how Indiana will stand in November. THE JOURNAL believes that with Harrison and Eeid, and Chase and Shockney as our leaders, the State, with proper organization and diligent work, is safe for from 5,000 to 10.000 majority.

SECRETARY ELKINS is justl regarded as one of the shrewdest political observers in the country, and his opinions are always given careful consideration, even by his political opponents. He says of the situation: "The Republican party is entitled to and will succeed on the platform of the Democratic convention and the action of tho convention leading up to it. The platform in itself as adopted is the nearest approach to free trade this country hns ever seen except the out and out declaration for free trade in the Confederate constitution.

'P-.1

The business public will take no chances it will prefer to be satisfied with a sure thing which is a good enough thing. I am confident there are surprises in store for the Democracy. With an horest count we would carry several of the southern States. In 1888 Cleveland only had majority of one thousand five hundred in Virginia, and less than four hundred in West Virginia. It will require a good deal of bloody shirt howl about the election bill and kindred stuff and, perhaps, some cheating to beat Harrison in those States, and even with those means I doubt if it can be done."

THE last plank in the Democratic platform is ridiculous. Heretofore it has always been believed that if you wanted to continue a state of affairs the best way to do it is to continue the conditions that cause it. But the Democratic party has discovered that the reverse is true. Admitting that our country has grown great and powerful under Republican rule it demands a change in order that it may continue that way. But just re-.! the plank itself. It asks a change oi administration and a change of party in order that there may be a change of system and a change of methods, thus assuring the maintenance unimpaired of institutions under which the republic has grown great and powerful.

BOCRKE COCHRAN in his great speech in the Chicago convention protesting against the nomination of Grover Cleveland said there were 20,000 Democratic soluiers who would never vote for their ene^ny, whereapon that brave one-legged soldier, Gen. Dan Sickles, shouted out, "No, never, never." And so it will be all over the country. The Union Eoldiers regardless of party will place a "veto" on Mr. Cleveland's aspirations.

FOURTH of July celebrations may not be exactly recherche affairs but they denote enterprise and keep mon^y in the city as well as bring it in. L. st year several thousands of dollars were brought in and this year nearly as much will nro out.

IT appears that Montgomery county wt-s not in it at the State convention, luere were entirely too many candidates from thiB section cf the State and all could not be nomic uod.

Russia in.a Fair Way for Invasion by Cholera.

IT CROSSES THE EASTERN FROSTIER.

Many Deaths llavo Already Been Heported, and Hundred* Are Strieken with the Dreiul iVst—Juarantine of No Avail.

^•'^'^••^UNF0RTRNATK RUSSIA. ST. PETUKSHrim, June no.—A number of doctors sent by the government have arrived at liaku to aid the physicians there in combating the ravages of cholera- The Russian ilotilla in the Caspian sea has been ordered to watch all ships leaving Persian ports. The quarantine sliillonf, in the transCaspian territory have been increased in number, and a week has been added to the time in which individuals are subjected to quarantine. All imports of food are subjected to a strict medical examination and everything known to medical science will be done to stamp out the dreaded scourge.

In Dzisak in Turkestan, 130 of the inhabitants have died with the disease in four days. The epidemic prevails in a more virulent form at Kaahka, in the trans-Caspian territory.

The fears that the disease would invade European Russia have been realized, and already several hundred eases have been reported on this side of the frontier. The inhabitants and th troops stationed along the frontier are panic-stricken. The wealthier classes are seeking safety in flight from the infected towns and villages.

In the Famine-StrieUcn Provinces. LONDON, June 30.—The ChronieUs's St. Petersburg correspondent says: "It is reported that cholera has appeared at Tsaritzin, on the Volga. If the report is true the scourge is almost certain to ravage the famine-stricken provinces."

The Teheran correspondent of the Times says that the news from Meshed, capital of the province of Kliorassan, is that there is a continued decrease in the number of deaths from cholera at that place. The average death rate In Meshed is now officially stated to be twenty-five daily. The previous official report placed the average number of deaths per day at eighty-five, this being a very large decrease from the number given in the preceding report.

The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Gazette, detailing the spread of the cholera epidemic, says: "On June 2(3 thirty-five more patients entered the hospital at liaku. Of these persons eighteen died and two recovered. There are eighty-four persons still affected with the disease."

A census bulletin issued gives the number of industrial establishments ir. Canada at 75.7(y, an increase of 51 pel cent, in ten years capital invested. 8353,000,000, an increase of 114 percent.

HE RETIRES.

Olarkson Quits the Republican Committee Chairmanship.

A REELECTION DECLINED BY HIM.

Hi* Action Tafccn In Deference to the President's Wishes—lion. William J. Campbell, of Illinois, Chosen as Ills Successor.

A SEW CHAIRMAN.

WASHINGTON*, June 2S.—Illinois was honored Monday at the Arlington hotel conference of representative republicans of the United States

l3r

tho

choice of W. J. Campbell to be chairman of the national and executive committees during the presidential campaign of 1S92. This result was reached after a lengthy conference at the white house between President Harrison, ex-Gov. Cheney, of New Hampshire, and Henry C. Payne, who represents Wisconsin on the national republican committee. Both the latter had been suggested as chairman of the committee, but they felt that they could not give the necessary time to the work and consequently were excused from such a duty. Meanwhile a growing boom was being inaugurated for Mr. Campbell, and at the bare incution of his name there was an expression of opinion that lie would fill the bill in every particular. "Tell Mr. Campbell for me," remarked the president to Messrs. Cheney and Payne, "that it is my sincere wish that he should accept this position.'' When this message was ronveyed to the committeeman froui Illinois he was for a time undecided whether to accept or not, but a telegram to Chicago fixed all business complications and an affirmative reply was promptly returned to the president's request.

Sir. Fnssett's Tribal e.

It was 11:30 a. m. when the meeting of the national republican committee was called to order by Chairman J. S. Clarkson. After the roll was called, which showed the presence, either in person or by proxy, of all of the members of the committee, except those from Nevada, Wyoming and Oklahoma, J. Sloat Fassett, of New York, took the flcor and placed in nomination Gen. Clarkson as permanent chairman of the committor lie said that when the. doors flowed on the Minneapolis contention

Key closed on a united party. That ie friends of Mr. Waine were disappointed every one knew, but to-day they were the earnest supporters of the nominees of the convention and would be at the /ront until the close of the campaign. "We are entering," he said, "upon a campaign with no holiday excursion. The democrats have nominated their strongest man and while the situation is desperate every republican who is really a republican will do everything in his po.ver to win the fight in November." Mr. Fassett paid an eloquent tribute to Gen. Clarkson, and said that the days and nights had not been long enough for him to do what he wanted to do for the republican party. With him at the head of the national committee, there could be no doubt of success.

Cliirkson Declines.

Geh.'Clarkson took the floor as Mr. Fassett concluded his speech, and said in substance that he wished to say to the members of the committee that he fully appreciated what had been said by Mr. Fassett. and that he felt more grateful to him and to the others of the committee for their kind words than he could express. He had received the personal, individual tender of the support for the chairmanship of the committee of forty-two members of the committee, yet he had learned that the candidate for the presidency preferred another man. lie therefore cheerfully declined to be considered a candidate.

At noon the committee took a recess until 3 o'clock, in order that President Harrison might indicate his preference for chairman of the national committee.

Campbell Chosen.

1

The committee assembled at 3 o'clock and Mr. Payne, of Wisconsin, placed in nomination as chairman of the republican national committee William J. Campbell, of Illinois. Representatives of several other states seconded the nomination as one eminently lit and proper and predicting under his leadership complete success for the republican party in November. Air. Campbell was elected by acclamation.

Other Olllcers,

M. II. De Young*, of California, was made vice chairman Thomas Carter, of Alontana, secretary: Cornelius N. Bliss, of New York, treasurer, and F. L. Swords, of Iowa, sergeant-at-: rms. A resolution was adopted authorizing the appointment of an executive committee of nine, composed of members of the n'ational committee or others not members thereof, to have

4,he

conduct

and management of the campaign of 1892. Resolutions commendatory of the efficient work performed by Hon. James S. Clarkson during his' term as chairman was unanimously adopted, and Air. Clarkson spoke briefly I in response thereto. Similar action was taken with regard to J. Sloat Fassett and his work as secretary. The committee then adiourned to meet at 7 p. m. and proceed in a body to the white house to pay their respects to the president.

Visited President Harrison. At a little after 7 o'clock the committee met at the Arlington and went in a body to the white house to call upon the president. The committee was conducted to the blue room, where they were joined by the president. Chairman Campbell introduced each member and explained that the committee had effected an organization and had called to pay their respects. The president in few words expressed his appreciation of the courtesy, and after shaking hands with all who were present the committee withdrew.

Saved by Her Corset.

RICHMOND, Ind., June 20.—The residence of J. M. Townsend, the colored man whom President Harrison made commissioner of deeds, was the scene of a big t-care and an almost miraculous escape from death Monday night. There was a church fete on his lawn and Hal Burden was having great fun making the girls scream' by pointing at them a revolver from which Frank Bass had takeu the cylinder. At length some one took the revolver from Burden and was looking at it. whereupon Bass produced the cylinder and put it in its proper place, the lun supposedly being over. The pistol was handed back to Burden, who did not know the cylinder was in it, and he playfully snapped the trigger at Aliss Banks. There was a loud report and an agonizing scream and then general consternation, for the ball had entered the girl's bosom and she was thought to have been killed, but she wasn't. The bullet had struck a steel in her corset.
