THERE are more would-be borrowers than lenders now, but a month or two hence the lenders will catch up.

IT seems to be the intention ot tlie Administration to cancel two or three existing pensions for every new one that is granted.

THE West and South will soon be as sound on the financial question as the East is. The days of the silver lunacy are numbered.

CLEVELAND is a man of courage, but he hesitates to call a special session of CoDgress when it involves the risk of serious disaster to his party.

OF course the Republicans will defend that sugar bounty for Louisiana, but the party which Louisiana supports will probably repeal it.

THE tariff issue is temporarily sidetracked, but, it will come to the front again in due time, and the Democratic party will be rent by it beyond chance of reconciliation.

IN the scramble for tho offices the Chicago platform seems to have been lost in the shuffle. You can scarcely get a Democrat to even mention the question of smashing the tariff.

A YERMONT editor who can hear nothing from his delinquent subscribers is publishing their obituaries, on the theory that they must be dead. It invariably brings them to life, with the cash.

MCKINLEY is unquestionably the strongest man whom the Ohio Republicans could have nominated for Governor, and his majority will show that he is even more popular than he was when he defeatedCamphell.

INDIANAPOLIS Joumal: When Joshua Jump gets his commission as internal revenue collector, the senior Senator's attitude in regard to the Sherman Bilver law will be so much in harmony with that of the President that he will find eloquent words in which to denounce the measure.

IF Bishop Merrill, of the Methodist church, thinks he can induce any of his flock from attending the World's Fair by withdrawing the church exhibit and issuing a boycott proclamation, he is greatly mistaken. The Methodists of Crawfordsville are not built on such a narrow foundation.

EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON says that every man, woman and child in the country should be encouraged to visit the World's Fair, "for there will not be in a generation to come, and perhaps never again, such a scene." Now let the railroads reduce their rates, and the people will do the rest.

A THE

police force of Fall River, Mass.,

comsumed a whole year, not to find out who murdered Mr. and Mrs. Borden, but to prove that Lizzie Borden was the murderer. They invented a theory and sought the discovery of facts to fit. They permitted all other clews as to the real murderer to

Blip

through their fin­

gers, and the result is that the tragedy will forever remain a mystery.

MCHDGH, of Tippecanoe, must be a bad bird when even the Indianapolis Sentinel hasn't the stomach to swallow him. Here area couple of squibs from that paper which indicate its state of mind:

Oh Lafayette! Lafayette! |Tliou who stonest the cranks, and sendest McHugh to the legislature! Thou are a lulu bird with a long tall.

We would 6uggest to the State printing board that the proper title for the volume containing tho acts ol 1893 would be "The Acts of McHugh."

A CHALLENGE QUICKLY ACCEPTED.

The New York Evening Post chal lenged the Press' declaration that "the return of the Democratic party to complete control of the government meant ruin for American industries and de basement for Amerisan currencv." The Press answers in forcible language saying: "Apparently the Post believes that the people have forgotten what the cardinal points of the Democratic platform were. One of them was this:

We denounce Republican protection as a fraud, a robbery of the great majority of tlie American people for the benefit of the few. We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the federal government has no constitutional power to impose and collect tariff duties, except for tlie purpose of revenue only.

Another reads as follows: We recommend that the prohibitory 10 per cent, tax on State bank issues be repealed.

The first of these two clauses demanded in explicit terms the overthrow of the conditions on which the prosperity of American industries depends, and the exposure of American workingmen to direct competition with the cheap labor of Europe and the serf labor of Asia. The second clause demanded the destruction of one of the most vital safeguards of the integrity of our currency and a return to the unspeakably disastrous system of the issue of the socalled money by State banks. Unless the Democratic party was lying when it proclaimed those doctrines the return of that party to power means exactly what the Pi'css said it meant.

The collapse of enterprise, the crippling of industry, the multiplication of failures and the loss of credit since Cleveland's inauguration show how the business interests of the nation regard the Democratic party and its programme of destruction. The Press declared repeatedly before the election of last November that Democratic success meant national disaster. The disaster has come with startling swiftness and the hope of the country to-day rests almost solely on what the resolute Republican minority in the next Congress can accomplish in the defense of American industries and sound money."

PURGING THE PENSION LIST.

The heads of pensioners are beginning to drop and they will soon fall as rapidly as the heads of fourth class postmasters. Cases like that of Andrew J. Huffman, of Hamilton county, will be of frequent occurrence. Huffman served from the breaking out of the war until July, 18G5, and while with the Eighth Indiana Cavalry, under Gen. Stonemru-|, he had four horses shot under him. Near Columbia, Tenn., one horse was shot from under him, and in the fall Huffman was pinned to the ground and was stepped on by the horse in the rear, one hoof striking him on the left groin and the other in the center of his abdomen. The injurv resulted in double hernia, one complete. He now wears a support at all times for the complete hernia and a truss for the incomplete when he has any lifting to do. On the 15th inst. he was notified that his pension bad been cut off, and on the 19th inst., at Noblesville, he was again ex-' amined, the examining board telling him that the marks left by the corks of the horse's shoeB were plainly visible. The board made a reportthat the injury still existed. Mr. Huffaaan made no application for pension until 1874, when he was rated at $4 per month, dating back to 1865. And this is the way the Cleveland administration has begun to "purge the pension list."

A RELIGIOUS paper speaking of the Sunday opening of the World's Fair says:

Sunday opening of the World's Fair is beyond doubt. The end has been reached. The white city, as it is named, will'be as noisy on Sunday as on a week day.

This is what might be oalled zeal without knowledge,to speak of it in no harsher terms. The quietest place in Chicago is on the World's Fair grounds. And when the machinery is silent in the Manufacturers' building, as it will be on Sunday, the quiet and good order that will reign there, even with 100,000 people on the grounds, will be a lesson to the most exacting churchman.

THE main lack of the present administration is lack of statesmanship.

SHE IS FREE.

The Jury Has Acquitted. Miss Lizzie Borden.

SHE IS FOUND SOT GUILTY OF MURDER.

Their Verdict Arrived at in a Very Short Time It Is Heeeivoil in tho Crowded Court room with

KloRing Cheers.

CLOSE OF A NOTABLE TRIAL. NEW BEDFOIUJ, Mass., June 21.—Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the charge of murder Tuesday afternoon. It was just 4:30 o'clock when the spectators, who had kept their seats patiently during the retirement of the jury, noticed a movement indicating their return. A moment later the twelve men filed into their seats and were polled.

Miss Borden was asked to stand up, and the foreman was asked to return the verdict, which he announced: "Not guilty."

Then all the dignity and decorum of the courtroom vanished. A clieer went up which might have been heard half a mile away through the open windows and there was no attempt to check it. The stately justices looked straight ahead at the bare walls during the tremendous excitement, which lasted fully a minute.

Miss Borden's head went down upon the rail in front of her and tears came where they had refused to come for many a long day as she heard the sweetest words ever poured into her willing ears. Mr. Jennings was almost crying and his voice broke as he put his hand out to Mr. Adams, who sat next to him, and said: "Thank God," while Mr. Adams returned tho pressure of the hand and seehied incapable of speech.

Gov. Robinson turned to the rapidly dissolving jury as they filed out of their seats and gleamed on them with a fatherly interest in his kindly eye and stood up as Mr. Knowlton and Mr. Moody came over to shake hands with the counsel for the defense.

As soon as possible the room was cleared, although it was a hard task since everybody wanted to shake hands with Miss Borden. When the spectators had finally gone she was taken to the room of the justices and allowed to recover her composure with only the eyes of friends upon her and the caress of devoted admirers. At the expiration of an hour she was placed in a carriage and driven to the station, where she took the train for Fall River.

The Concluding Scencs»

At the opening of court there were as many people in the room as at any time during the session. Miss Borden entered the room at 8:55. Ex-Gov. Robinson took a seat beside her and the two engaged in conversation until court opened at 9 o'clock. The jury was polled and the district attorney concluded his argument.

The chief justice then addressed Miss Borden by name, telling her that she now had a voice and could say to the jury what she choose to say. She arose, somewhat agitated, and said to the jury: "I am innocent, but I will leave my case in your hands and in the hands of my counsel."

Given to the Jury.

Judge Dewey then charged the jury. At the conclusion of the charge, at 3:15, the attorneys consulted a few moments. The jury was allowed to retire and counsel agreed upon what exhibits were to be put in the case, after which they were brought in again, the oath administered by the clerk of the court and the jury took the case.

The Verdict Caused a Cheer. It was just 4:30 o'clock when the spectators, who had kept their seats patiently during the retirement of the jury, noticed a movement indicating their return. A moment later the twelve men filed into their seats and were polled.

Miss Bordsn was asked to stand up, and the foreman was asked to return the verdict, which he announced: "Not guilty."

Then all the dignity and decorum oi the court room vanished. A cheer went up which might have been hear half a mile away through the open windows, and there was no attempt to check it.

will give a grand enter­

tainment in T. C. Shanklin's grove Sunday, June 25, at 3 o'clock p. m. Everybody invited. This is their Children's Day exercise, and as the children of Linden never half way do anything all who attend may expect a treat. "IT haa cured others and will cure you," is true only of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. The motto suits the medicine and the medicine the motto. What better assurance could yon haue that a remedy will cure you, than the fact that it has cured eucli multitudes of others.

THH PEESS 0LUB BENEFIT.

Gen. Lew Wallace Heads a Chapter from His "Princ9 of India.'' The Indianapolis Press Club gave a benefit entertainment at the Grand Opera House Wednesday which consisted of readings by Hoosier authors from their own works. Among those who read was Gen. Lew Wallace, of this city. The Indianapolis Journal has this report:

General Lew Wallace was greeted with loud applause as his well known figure and face appeared from the wing of the stage. He read from his forthcoming work a sketch containing the sermon of Sergius, a Russian monk, delivered in the year 1452 in the Saucta Sophia, a celebrated church in Constantinople. This church was a wonderful work of architecture and the pride, the reader said, of the Byzantine world. It was indescribably beautiful, and on the occasion upon which the eloquent words of the Russian heretic were delivered, was filled with such an audience as the world perhaps will never see again. Here followed a description of the graycowlecJ monks, with raiment of untaDned Bkins, with uncovered necks and bared feet, kneeling upon the stone floor ready to receive the sacrament. The picture was drawn with the same masterful success which marks that of the race in "Ben Hur." There two branches of the church represented among the communion nts—the Latin and the Greek—between whom .there was a radical and bitter controversey as to whether the bread in the holy rite Bhould be leavened or unleavened. The c5ntroversey arose to such a pitch as the sacred elements were about to be offered, that the monks forgot their priestly character and fell to lighting in the sanctuary. The celebrant sought to quell the strife with a signal to the choir to sing, but it was in vain. Then a vision appeared from above, and Sergius, being a man resembling the earthly conception of Christ was taken in the illusion for the Saviour himself. This he disclaimed, and then, as if touched with the divine fire of truth, he preached to the assembled multitude the doctrine of the "Lord's Creed of Two Articles in Nine Words," namely, "I believe in God and Jesus Christ His Son." He denounced the council of bishops who had not been content with the creed laid down by the Saviour on earth, but had added to it. The sermon put into the mouth of the heretic monk was particularly apt for these days of ecclesiastical contentions, and when the work is published and r?ad this portion of it will undoubtedly meet with much discussion. The audience was constantly made to feel that the truth as then preached by the monk is needed to-day. For hiB brave utterance Sergius was condemned and put to death for heresy. The narration of this story occupied nearly an hour, but was received with profound admiration. The theme, aa well as the literary execution, fully sustained the reader's high reputation and sharpened the eagerness of lovers of good literature who were present for an early opportunity to read the work.
