SATURDAI, MAY 20, 1893.

UH to the hour of going to press no new bull had been issued by the President of the United States.

THERE are 7,783 driDking places in New York, which are for the moBt part Democratic campaign bureaus. They are the recruiting stations for Tammany Haii.,:

THERE iB no cause for alarm because a number of small banks throughout the State have gone to the wall. Banks that have a good financial basis and which have been doing a legitimate, careful business are just aB strong as they ever were.

THE price of wool is now 20 cents, The prospective reduction of the tariff has brought the price down five cents. The removal of the tariff entirely will cause a further reduction of ten cents. How do wool growers like the outlook?

THE first steps have been taken to reform the modes of recording and transferring real estate in Ohio. Some time this fall a commission appointed for that purpose will prepare a bill to be presented to the next General Assembly which will embody the virtues of the Torrens system of land transfer.

I PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has suspended the Chinese exclusion act. If he has the power to suspend one law, what can prevent him from suspending the operations of any other law He is said to have a great aversion for the Sherman silver act. "Why not suspend thiB law And then there's that "culminuting atrocity," the McKinley law. Why not wipe that out, too, with a ukase?

COL. HENRY WATTERSON says that it cost $1,000,000 to nominate Cleveland and $5,000,000 to elect him. Democrats all over the country are clamoring for the dividends on this $8,000,000 investment. This statement explains why the Crawfordsville contingent is still out on the cold, cold world. Instead of contributors they were beneficiaries of the boodle. ..

IN these days of injunctions against everybody and everything, the Toledo Blade wants to know why don't some impatient Democrat who has his eye on a fat federal oflice get out an injunction to forbid the present Republican incumbent from performing his duties, on the ground that the Republicans were defeated last fall, and that to the victors belong the spoil?

AN attack is to be made on the national banking system by Congress when it meets. An attempt will be made to repeal the ten per cent, tax on State bank issues. ThiB accomplished will ring the death knell of national banks. A currency will then be be issued on State and county securities. Everybody will go to bed at night rioh and get up in the morning poor.

CHARLES C. BROWN haB made a prop osition to the City Council of Frankfort that he will design a complete sewerage system for that city, and get everything in readiness to lot contract, furnishing form of contract, form of proposals, specifications, rules and regulations for governing the syBtem for the

Bum

of

$1,000. Or he will act as consulting engineer for $400. Frankfort is getting down to business on the sewerage ques tion.

THE country is waiting with a good deal of interest to Bee what the Democracy intends to do with the platform which was adopted in Chicago last June. Since that party has been in power no attempt has been made to execute the pledges which were then made. No attention has been paid to anything but the spoils. This does not comport with reform professions, but then Democrats never give much heed to ante-election pledges after the contest is decided.

THE Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis News gives this latest ad. vice concerning Con Cunninghum: "C. "YV. Cunninghum's political future does not seem to be clear since the consul was appointed to Belfast, Ireland, a place he has been so ardently seeking since before the inauguration. Mr. Cunningham is still intheeity, notwithstanding the President's embargo, and has been calling at the State Department since then. It is belie7ed that Cunningham will transfer his official aspirations to some other consulship, al though he says nothing."

"HERE IS RICHNESS."

The above is the heading of an article in this week's Star, in which it makes some vigorous comments on the Indianapolis Sentinel's statement that the '"Indiana Democrats were not spoilsmen,' and that they cared more for the "re sponsibilities of government" than they did for "the office spoils," and so on, in a whole column of

Buch

twaddle. The

Star's comments are raspish but readable: Now this may bo satire in the Sentinel and not humor at all. For most certainly the public has not yet forgotten what, a rueful sheet was the Sentinel prior to the editor landing the Paris consulate. It is plain there are no "soreheads on the corners" and for the very good reason that nobody down this way has gotten himself an office and thereby been made a target for the envy of less luckloss people.UStill itowould not do to say that "it is a secondary matter who fill the offices." Nay, It is a matter of primary and

earnest

import­

ance that the offices be filled by Democrats'. We are tired of having it recited that under Harrison a half dozen spoilsmen went forth from Montgomery county to take office while no Democrat from Here is called to take the places again made vacant. Col. Burford, Col. Quinn Wilhite, Harry Hanley, John Peterson, Chas. Davtdge and all of that ciovd are being succeeded by men who do not hail from Montgomery county. To the victors belong the spoils. The campaign of 1892 was largely fought upon that idoa In both parties and we object to the small wit of the Sentinel from his lofty perch telling the powers that be that "our boys are not a-lookj,n' for something!" Flannigan, of Texas, was not far wrong when he shouted, "If we are not here for offices, what the li are we hero for?" Democratic reform in government cannot be expected with Republicans in office, and the usurpers ought to be kicked out if they won't resign.

The Star should direct its attention to the Chicago platform which called "for the honest enforcement of all laws regulating the reform of the civil service." Mr. Cleveland on November 18, in a speech at New York said: "If we see nothing in our victory but a license to revel in partisan spoils, we shall fail at every point." Again in his inaugural address he referred to the "demoralizing madness for Bpoils," and approved the laws and policy for civil service reform. The Star stood on the Chicago platform and endorsed Mr. Cleveland's utterances. It now goes back on both as did the Indianapolis Sentinel until its editor was appointed to a consulate. Notwithstanding the wail of the Star Mr. Cleveland falls far short of the platform and his own declarations. The President and his Cabinet have spent their entire time of the two months they have been in office in decapitating Republican heads. What hurts the Star is that lightning has not struck in Crawfordsville.

FIFTY CENTS-NO MORE

There is some misconception still existing—arising, no one knows how—as to the cost of admission to the World's Fair, and whether admission really admits. foolish statements have been made that the gate admission is only a part of the total admission. The Chicago Inter-Ocean gives an authoritative, official denial of all these foolish stories. It costs 50 cents to enter the gates, and there is no other charge. The InterOcean says:

The fifty cents admission charge will admit to everything on the grounds for which the $113,000,000 has been paid. In other words, the entrance fee of fifty cents paid at the gates admits the visitor to not only to every buildlug in which there is an exhibit on the fair grounds, but to every part of every building. This includes all the great buildings like the manufactures building, the foreign buildings, the State buildings, art exhibits, floriculture and horticultural displays, etc. The only place where an extra entranco fee is charged are the spccial shows or exhibitions like the Esquimaux village and those on Midway Plaisance, which have never been regarded as part of the World's I •'air.

THE disgraceful proceedings attending the change in the Terre Haute post offioe, brought about, precipitated and carried on by a gang of Democratic politicians will do much to create stronger public Bentiment in favor of the principles of civil cervice reform. Such proceedings are calculated to disgust the respectable portion of every community whose only interest in politics is the administration of good government. Politicians of the Yoorheea and Lamb school may sneer at the law regulating the civil cervice, yet the law has come to stay. Men who run political parties may as well make up their minds to this fact. Overriding and reBieting a law that is on the statute books is criminal, whether it is done by the President of the United States or whether it is done by a tramp.

IT is now stated that Col. C. A. Zollinger, of Ft, Wayne, will be appointed Pension Agent for Indiana. Capt. D. F. Allen, one of the prominent candidates for the position, has been appoined State Tax Commissioner by the Governor, and D. F. Mustard, another man, is a cundi date for United States Treasurer to succeed E. H. Nebeker. This leaves Colonel Zollinger alone in the field.

REV. THOMAS C. HALL, son of the noted Rev. Dr. Hall, pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian church, Chicagb, has arnounced that he will withdraw from tl 6 Presbyterian church if the coming gen eral assembly decides against Professor Briggs, when he comes up before that body for trial. 1

SHEEP AND WOOL PROSPECTS. The Elyria (Ohio) Journal haB a long and excellent article on sheep and wool by R. Baker. Of the prospects of sheep raising for mutton and also for fine wool he makes suggestions worthy the attention of that large class" of farmers who are easily discouraged by a dull year, or too easily frightened by adverse Free Trade Legislation and sell out their flocks at a loss. "Hasten slowly" is the Bum of what Mr. Baker Bays as follows:

Will this'industry be overdone by the growing increase of sheep! This question is often put. Many believe that this will be the result. This Is worthy of inquiry. If we were to judge of the matter, and not have in view the radical change of the American people with regard to the consumption of mutton—we might say that such would be the case, but looking at the change which has been growing for some years, and lias now reached a certainty, that a majority of the American people are lovers of this tender and juicy, nicely flavored meat, and will continue to purchase freely., so long as the best quality can be obtained. The demand for fat lambs increase ing every year, and those who practice raising lambs for the meat market realizing good prices and though thousands of lambs are slaughtered annually the market is never over" stocked, and buyers arc always ready to take all offerings, especially where the carcass is ripe for the block. The prospect for a profitable sheep-breeding industry seems to be assured lor some time co come, more especially for the mutton breeds. Much depends Jon the quality of the sheep as to its being largely profitable.

Many breeders of fine-wooled sheep are discouraged by the prospect of lower prices for wool, and are talking of reducing their (locks, or going out of the business of sheep husbandry entirely. There may be some uncertainty as to the future of the wool-growing industry, but it is not advisable to be too hasty in disposing of the fiock. Better go skiw in this matter, as we may be safe under Protection. Better wait until "free wool" is laid upon our markets. Even then, better to Improve the Hocks, and still wait.

THE death of General Samuel C. Armstrong, the founder of the famous Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute for Negroes and Indians, removes from public life one exceptionally useful and interesting personality, whose unique career has commanded wide and sympathetic attention. After serving through the war with distinction the great work of his life began. He was made a Commissioner of the Freed men's Bureau, and was sent in 1866 to look after the interests of the negroes in southeastern Virginia. He made his headquarters at Hampton, with jurisdiction over ten counties. For two years he was busy adjusting the differences between the two races. In 1868, chiefly sustained by 2rivate aid from the North, and under the auspices of the American Missionary Association, he founded and opened the Hampton Norman and Agricultural Institute. At first only negroes were taken in. But after ten years its success was so great that National Government officially asked him to extend its benefits to the Indians as well. Now the Institute contains nearly 200 Indians and between 500 and (300 negroes. Its graduates go out as teachers of their races, and thus its influence has been immeasurably extended. To this noble work General Armstrong gave the remainder of his life and the forces of his being.

THE reyision of the Presbyterian oreed will fail. The New York Independent says the additional returns from the presbyteries emphasize this fact. Out of twenty-two presbyteries then reported only thirteen approved entire and twenty-eight in .part, while twenty-eight disapproved entire. Since then they have heard from fifty-six presbyteries. Of them seventeen approve entire and eighteen in part, and fourteen disapprove entire. To sum up, the vote of one hundred ana thirty-eight presbyteries shows that forty-two disapprove, twenty take no action, forty-six approve in part, thirty entire, and fifty-seven ask for a new creed. In order to carry the overtures ninety-two of these one hundred and thirty-eight presbyteries should have approved. The vote falls far short of this. "Revision iB doomed," says the Independant, "but the idea of a new creed gains in favor."

THE statements showing the coridi tion of the First National and the Citi zens' National Banks of this city are exhibits that will inspire confidence in the people of their soundness and sol vency. Their surplus reserve is in a most healthy condition. The individual deposits ^subject to check in the two banks are nearly $700,000. The deposits in Elston Bank it is presumed are proportionately large, so that it may be said that the three banks contain nearly, if not quite, a million belonging to the people with ample reserves for any emergency that might arise. The banking institutions of Crawfordsville can challenge comparison with those of our financial centers.

THE Louisiana sugar planters are afraid now that the Democratic party will carry out the tariff pledges of the Chicago and propose to formally protest against such a step. The planters are unnecessarily alarmed.

W

"THE demoralizing madness for spoils," as Mr. Cleveland in his inaugural address characterized the system in vogue of doling out the offices, has a practical illustration in the disgraceful squabble precipitated by Donham, the new postmaster at Terre Haute, a henchman of Senator Yoorhees, to get possession of the postolfice. Greiner, the retiring postmaster, had orders from the Postoffice Department to continue business until Saturday in accordance-with the usual custom. Instead of complying with these instructions Donham broke in on Friday night, as a burglar would break into a bank, and took possession and then in violation of law dismissBed all clerks and letter carriers. This is a case of "demoralizing madness" run to seed. The indications now are that Mr. Donham will not long be the postmaster. If Mr. Cleveland has the backbone that he is credited with by his admirers he will be removed at once. It is not easy to see how Donham canes cape prosecution in the United States courts.

THE Geary act which requires all Chinese who were in this country prior to May 1 to furnish their photographs and to register, failing in which they shall be deported, and excluding all immigrants from the Celestial Empire in the future, has been declared to be constitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States. Should China retaliate with a similar measure] BO far AB the United States is concerned no person should complain. If the Chinese shall have no privileges in this country upon what grounds can Americans ask to be protected in their pursuits in China. The Geary act is an outrage on international comity. If the United States desires to rid the country of an undesirable population other fields can be found that are more fruitful. For example we could get along without the Anarchists and Nihilists which swarm in Chicago, New York and other cities of the Eastern and Middle States, and which area menace to our free institu-

tions. ••"4a®

THE feeling in commercial circles continues feverish, as the financial troubles do not abate to any extent. Until the Administration announces its financial policy and the country knows what Congress intends to do with the tariff and silver questions, there will be a general disposition to go slow. Men who control capital manifest a desire to be in a position to take advantage of any unexpected turn that affairs might take. It may be expected therefore that all institutions that are not financially sound will pass through a crisis and many will go to the wall entirely.

"PBESSUHE of public business will prevent him from attending the Decoration day ceremonies at the Arlington National cemetery," writes Private Secretary Thurber in answer to the committee which invited Presdent Cleveland to join in the exercises of that day. This excuse is only a pretense. He spends as much time every day in driving around Washington as it would require to go to Arlington. He has a realizing sense that he would be out of place at a ceremonial of this kind. A fishing excursion would be more to his taste. f!.i

THE Chicago Inter Ocean Bays the pension policy of the Administration seems to be to evade the execution of laws legally enacted, and send veteran pensioners to death under a cowardly spy oystem that j(^vould

IT'S nigh unto three months since the Democrats took possession of the government and the "unconstitutional fraud and sham" known as the the McKinley law is still on the statute books.
