New York Times has discarded

its Mugwump clotbes and lias announced that in the future it will be a Democratic newspaper. The newspaper that is most to be admired is the one that is on one side or the other.

As a criminal lawyer Senator Voorlieoe has a distinguished reputation. He is now practicing his profession in the United States Senate in defending Roach, the man who stole $(54,000 while in the capacity of a bank cashier a few years ago.

DR. LESLIE E. KEELEY, who has tilready made a million or more from his famous bichloride of gold cure for drunkenness, lias sold his right, title and interest in all the Keeley institutions of the United States. The price paid is $10,000,000,and a New York syndicate is the purchaser which will undertake the cure of people whose weakness is the cup that cheers and likewise inebriates.

AN election has been ordersd at Lebanon to take place May 2 to vote on the question of putting in water works. The plant will be owned and controlled by the city as it should be. The people all over the country are beginning to realize that a public franchise is largely a device for collecting tribute under cover of public service, and that colossal fortunes have thus been legislated into corporate coffers without adequate returns to the public. ,.

IF THE man is of the right stripe, our good friend, Col. Ell Brown, oi Frankfort, is letting slip a great opportunity to distinguish his town and push a fellow townsman to the fore. Willi Tom Catt, Buck Whiikins, Monk Irish and Gagagag Glgadam, Dink liotts,.Joshua Jump, Nash Buncombe, Plunk llicke.v, Tad Beazely, Pod DiSmuke, lludri Uodds, Poladani Sams, Khinc Opitiz, A^ealoin Milkweed, all in line of Federal promotion, why does Col. Brown allow Dock Stunker to hide his light under a lurniture van? If. as we say, Dock is a Democrat, Stunker is a man to conjure with.—Kohomu Dispatch.

We must insist that Hon. liullfoot Kernoodle, a distinguished citizen of Crawfordsville, shall be embraced in the above liBt eligible for Federal recognition.

IT would-be wTself"our-Agricultural Society would offer premiums based upon results similar to those offered by Purdue University. The statute in providing for Agricultural societies contemplates that premiums shall be offered for increased yields of crops, and provides for the publication of the methods employed, so that the public shall be benefitted. Too little attention is given by the county fairs to the encouragement of enlarged yields of farm products. We trust that many will compete for the Purdue scholarship and demonstrate the possibility of enlarged yields and increased proiits on the farm.

AT the rate that Indianapolis is raising that $50,000 to entertain the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the ltnpufolic it will require live months to accomjjlish the work. The money ought to be in the treasury now. Valuable time is being wasted by the committees in soliciting the people to subscribe. The people should be their own solicitors. Each individual citizen should constitute himself a committee of one and walk around to the treasurer's ofliee and lay down a liberal subscription. Indianapolis must get a move on herself. By this we do not mean that citizens of other parts of the State have no duty to perform. Let HooBiers everywhere imitate the example of one of Crawfordsville's distinguished citizens and plank down.

SENATOR W. D. WASHUUHN, of Minne

Bota,

in commenting on the squeezing of Pardridge in the recent wheut deal in Chicago, said: "It is a complete vindication of the men who favored the passage of my Anti Option bill last winter. Some such measure as that must be passed eventually. Partridge uold millions of bushels of wheat—on paper— and the men who are after him bought millions of bushels the same way. In the entire transaction, involving millions of bushels of wheat, not even a peck of wheat was actually in evidence at any time. It is immaterial whether Pardridge or the other fellows come out on top in the end. The whole system of dealing in futures is wrong. It is an outrage that these fictitious sales and purchases should be permitted to go on. It is gambling pure and simple and should be stopped. The farmers of the country are the real

Bufferers

from it."

HON. JOHN L. WILSON.

To whatever part of the earth Crawfordsvill3 sends her sons THE JOURNAL endeavors to keep track of them and note their progress and advancement in their chosen lines of work. When one of-them becomes distinguished it is with peculiar pleasure that we refer to him and his work. How well Hon. John L. Wileon, one of our boys, has served his people in Congress may be inferred by the following from theOlympia Iribune, a paper published at the capital of Washington:

Hon. John L. Wilson who is visiting in our city, has earned the distinction ol being the most successful Representative in the House of Representatives from the new ritates. W 11son's success in Congress may lie charged to his natural and acquired abilities as a legislator. He is the son of a dihtinguif-lied member of Congress. Wilson knows how and li1! has the energy to turn to good account what he knows. He is a parliamentarian, a tactician in his intercourse with fellow members and a worker who never tires. He now lias the training and experience that fit. him for a Congressional life and if the State kept him in Congress the rest of his days, the State would be the gainer. With the right kind of talent to start with, continued service alone in Congress equips a man for lieolliceof representsitive or senator. Wilson's work in Congress is abundant proof of the claim that he is the right man in the right, place and that he has been an apt pupil, to date, all Washington, irrespective of party, gratelully acknowledge.

THE stars and stripes have been hauled down at Honolulu, but meanwhile the Confederate flag is on all public occasions blossoming out in the South, the section that elected Cleveland and the Democratic majority in both houses of Congress. Here is a dispatch from Richmond, Va., April 11, that appears in the Charleston News and Courier giving an account of the meeting of Southern Governors: "Over the speaker's stand hung the Confederate Hag, which was carried through the war by the Staunton Artillery until the adoption of the battle-flag by the Government. It was then replaced by the latter. Ibis company's Hag. which was furled at Appomattox, was also displayed over the stand. Each of the booths represenst one'of the States that formed the JateConfederacy."

Running up and displaying the Confederate Hag and hauling down the American Hag will be the distinguishing characteristics of this Administration. By these acts it will be stigmatized in the mind and memory of every patriotic American.

SENATOR VOORTIEES must have been drunk the other day when he made the charge against Senator Chandler that while the latter was Secretary of the Navy the four war ships built under his supervision had gone down to the bottom oi the sea and that the contractors had retired wealthy. Mr. Chandler in reply stated that the four vessels built bv him would be in the naval review next week and that one of them would carry the Presidential party. And besides, the contractor, through the machinations of his successor, Mr. Whitney, became bankrupted and died of a broken heart. The trouncing that the Tall Demagogue of the Wabash received was even more complete than that administered by the sharp tongued Ingalls a few years ago.

Tun Fifth Congress of the ScotchIrish Society of America will be held at Springfield, Ohio, May 11 to 14 prox. The society is organized for distinctively historical and social purposes, and is doing good educational work for the intelligent people of the nation. Addresses may be expected fiom Gov. Wm. McKinley, of Ohio llev. l)r. lohn Hall, of New York A. K. McClure, of Philadelphia Senator Wm. Lindsay, of Kentucky. and many other men of prominence and ability. All natives of Ulster, or of any degree of descent, of ScotchIrish stock, are cordially invited to participate in this Congress.

THE question is aelwd and remains unanswered why it was that President Cleveland sent a "personal Commissioner" instead of a representative of the United Stales to Honolulu. In his letter to the Provisional President of the Sandwich Islands Mr. Cleveland says: 11AVK made choice of James It. Blount, one of Ol:H distinguished citizens, AS MY Special Commissioner to visit the Hawaiian Islands to make a report TO MK."

It sounds more like the language of a sovereign or a Czar than the language of the President of a Republic. It id an excessive specimen of royal style. Either that or an effusion of extraordinary egotism.

THE excuse that Congressman Brookshire offers for the failure to appoint Miss Sweeney postmaster at i'ountsville is that she is not '21 years old. We know nothing as to the fact of her age, but it will occur to some people that the Congressman should have known whether she was eligible or not before committing himself in her favor. By making it public through the newspapers that she would receive the appointment and then withdrawing her name with no explanation placed her in a most humiliating position.

IT is significant that the men who have been the loudest in proclaiming "I am a Democrat," are getting no favors from the Administration. If he will inscribe on his hat band, "I am a Renegade Republican" his chances will be improved.

THE JEFFERSON ANNIVERSARY.

Democratic clubs all over the country yesterday celebrated the 150i.li anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson. Why modern Democracy should celebrae the birth of that illustrious American is hard to understand as there is scarcely a principle that was enunciated by Jefferson but has been hotly repudiated by the present Democratic party. Contrasting the difference the New York Press says:

The Chicago platform declares a3 a iuticiamentiil doctrine that protection is unconstitutional. Jefferson asserted that the encouragement of domestic industries was one of the lirsl. duties devolving upon the teileral government. The Democratic party denounces reciprocity its a sham. Jefferson ii'lvlS'-Mt the adoption of retaliatory duties and prohibitions. When Cleveland found a temporary surplus in the Treasury lie clamored lor tree trade to got rid ol it, When threatened with a similar surplus, Jellerson urged that it be used to build schools, roads and canals, rather than expose American industries to the paralj/.ing Inlluenee of lorelgn competition. The Democratic party demands the cieation ol wildcat" banks. Jefferson was opposed to State currency. The Cleveland Administration averages scores ol removals rom office a day. .letlerson did not make 100 removals during the entire eight years lie occupied the Presidency. Jellerson, on his own responsibility and in opposition to his own views as to the strict, mstitutionality of the act, bought. Louisiana for $1 5,000,000, at. that time a foreign terrltoi with indefinite and disputed boundaries, and peopled mainly by savages. Cleveland hesitates on the annexation of lliiv-uii, a great, maritime stionghold that is oilcrcd tons without conditions. In celebrating the birtlid ol Thomas Jellerson the galvanized Mugwump Democracy only the more strongly illustnucs the contrast bet vorn the genuine statesmanship ol Jefferson and the humbug and sham of those who pretend to admire him.

THE NEED OF SEWERAGE •'1 believe it is within the power ol man to drive germ diseases from the lace of the earth" is a dictum of Pasteur's and the city of Munich has made wonderful progress in driving typhoid fever from its precincts. The death rate from this cause alone used to be 24.20lnl0,000. Now that the city has neen provided with water from an unquestionably pure source, and a very costly but complete system of sewers introduced it lias fallen to 1.7") in 10,000.— Um't /.

What is true of large cities in this regard is just as true of small ones. A complete system of sewers is the crying need of Crawfordsville.

THE Stars and Stripes have been hauled down from the Government building at Honolulu, and there remains now nothing indicative of American authority except Minister Stevens and Commissioner Blount. The American flag was lowered by order of Mr. Blount. No doubt he performed the act with a good deal of "ghoulish glee." He spent four years of his life in an effort to lower and keep it lowered, so it is not to be wondered at that he should

haul down o.d

THE other day at Philadelphia an plieant for a liquor license ostentatiously displayed and handled a Maeonic emblem in the presence of the cmni, evidently an effort on the part of the ap­

As the Review of this c:tv recently referred to "one Brown of the Frankfort CresenV and spoke of him in rather uncomplimentary terms it would indicate that we are on the eve of a war among Democratic editors. To the victors belong the spoils, the spoils* in this case being an empty vitriol bottle.

THE following bit of news interest to the literary people of Indiana. The aj:pearance of the new book will be anxiously awaited: "Edward Eggleston will come west the lust of the week, and, with his wife, will occupy the residence of Mrs. Newell, tit Madison, Ind. Dr. Eggleston comes for the purpose of re-writing "The Hoosier Schoolmaster," and will remain near the scene until the work is in satisfactory shape."

IT has been thirty-two years since Ft. Sumter containing 70 men was fired upon by an army of 10,000 rebels. This was the beginning of a four years war in which there were engaged three and a half million men and the loss of five hundred thousand lives.

PUKSIUKNT Ci.KVK.I.ANU )ias decreed that nepotism must go in appointments.—Frankfort Cixsccnt.

Mr. Cleveland vaccinated his administration for the prevention of nepotism but for some cause, either through bad virus or the condition of the blood, it didn't take.

SENATOK ROACH, of North Dakota, the SG4,00U embezzler, is said to be on the blacklist at the White House and at the departments. He can get no officers for his friends. He is politically dead. It shows that the President has some sense of decency even if the Democratic Senators are devoid of it. ,*

WHEN Blount hauled down the American flag at Honolulu it was hailed as a great Democratic victory.

UNDER WHICH FLAG?

"Under the Stary Cross" is the headline of the Charleston News and Courier in writing up the celebration in that city on the 12th inst. of the thirty-sec-ond anniversary of the bombardment of Ft. Sumter. The story opens that the veterans could easily have fancied that the scroll of time had been called back 32 years, and "the magic name of Beauregard was inseparably connected with both events." "The demonstration was more than a success it arose to the height of a triumph," and a "lasting proof of patriotism and loyalty"—"like its predecessor thirty-two years ago, it was a blustering, wintery day, with only brief intervals of sunshine. The roar of artillery thundered upon the ear, but it was the artillerv of peace." "The splendid Fourth Regiment Band, which headed the line, struck up the inspiring music of 'Dixie,' and away went the military escort to the opera house." "The boxes to the right of the stage were canopied with Confederate, English and German Hags, while those opposite were draped with the State and French colors—the Confederate in one and the State Hag in the other instance being given the place of honor next the stage. At the corners of the stage were placed the two famous battle flags from Fort Sumter, on the left that of the Sumter guards, and on the right that of the Washington Light infantry. Each was under a glass in a massive frame, surrounded by garlands of ivy and roses. Slightly behind each of these sacred relics stood full-grown palmetto trees, with their spreading branches festooned with State and Confederate States flags. At the extreme rear of the stage was placed a third graceful palmetto. Hanging above the tree to the left was the battle Hag of the Holcombe Legion, while that to the right was crowned by the headquarters flag, which had once been used by the Great General himself." Comment on this Democratic movement seems to be unnecessary.

THE constitution of the United States, a document which President Cleveland is sworn to obey and uphold, savs: "He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make reaties, provided two-thirds of the Senate concur and he shall nominate, and by and wit lithe advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Cousins: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of su.-h interior officers, as th"y think proper, in the President alone, in the

Has President Cleyeland, in whatever secret instructions he may have given to Commissioner Blount, transgressed the constitutional limits of the power of the Chief Executive? These are some of the ugly questions that the President must answer.

The question arises how can he as Attorney General defend the interests of the United States and at the same time protect the interests of the corporations. It smacks a good deal of the principle of a lawyer accepting a fee on both sides of a case in court. It' some of our one one-horse lawyers should be guilty of such conduct he would be disbarred.
