FRIDAY, MARCH 10,1894.

"TIIE LATEST 1XF.VMV." The majority of the Finance Committee of the United States Senate, composed entirely of Democrats, has succumed to all the big-trusts of the country- In fact some of these Senators seem to have g'one into the bucketshop business. Their hands are sticky with sugar. They denied all hearing's to the Western farmer who asked protection on wool and other agricultural products, but when Ilavemeyer, the head of the sugar trust, went down to Washington, these same Senators fairly tumbled over each other in making calls on him at his hotel. These same men prate from year's end to year's end about reform and the evils of corruption. and have the audacity to stand in high places and denounce as public robbers the manufacturers and business men who ask for protection. And a .Justice of the Supreme Court, taken from the Senate, declines to take his place on the bench until the sugar lobby gives the word that he can be spared. The Indianapolis Sentinel rips up this Senatorial bucket-shop in the following vigorous English:

The Senate committee has made its report on the Wilson bill, and the report is simply infamous. It shows that the sugar trust, the whisky trust, the railroad and coal combine, and the iron mine combine have had their way with the committee, and the whisky man from Troy has had his demands granted as to collars and cuffs. The sugar trust is given a donation of four-tenths of a cent per pound, which is, in fact, a greater donation than the McKinley donation of five-tenths with one-tenth additional as against countries which pay an ex. port bounty, bceause the duty of one cent per pound in raw sugar added to this gives the trust absolute command of our market, as against any outside competition. If Mr. Ilavemeyer did not dictate tli is section-he dictated it to some one who did dictate it. It is simply an outrage on the people and on the Democratic party. It is a thing that cannot be explained or justified to any intelligent man. or to many who are not intelligent. And the bounty of two cents a gallon on refined molasses is equally indefensible. If it be Democracy to give such favors as these to notorious, lawless trusts we know of no way in which Democracy can be distinguished from Republicanism.

The extension of the bonded period of whisky from three to eight years is an even worse concession to one of the worst trusts in the country. The man who is responsible for it is an enemy to the Democratic party, and we may add in this connection that we do not believe that llill. or Murphy, or Gorman, or Hrice. or Morgan, or White, or Caffery is in any way responsible for it. There will be some pretty close guessing at who is -responsible if this scandalous favor to the whisky trust goes into the law.

The duties on coal and iron cannot be defended even on the principle of protection. They are imposed solely for the benefit of the railroads of the country, which own most of the coal and iron mines and want to force every one to use their product. The increase of duties an collars and euft's is a concession to the vile New York influence which has long been held in detestation by the people of the country at large, and which at length ssems to have turned the stomachs of the people of New York.

These amendments will not do. They must be stopped. If the Senate does not stop them the House must. So far as political effect is concerned Congress can better afford to pass no tariff bill at all than to permit any such sale and delivery of the party as this, for the party will not be delivered.

In the face of this arraignment of the Senate Finance Committee by a newspaper of its own partisan faith the Virtuous Voorhees stands in his place and hypocritically announces that 815.000.000 has been wrung from the trusts and placed in the United States treasury. This Senatorial bucket-shop business is a national scandal.

WILL the capacious maw of Alonzo Green Smith, the Attorney General for the great State of Indiana, never be satisfied? Having made a successful raid through legislation enacted by a Democratic General Assembly on the school funds of the State which will put 310,000 into his capacious pockets, he is now asking for a redistribution of the road funds of the several counties, which will still further swell his plethoric purse. Do the people of Indiana propose to fold their hands and sit down without any protest? Will they approve this kind of highway robbery at the polls next November? If they do, God save the Commonwealth of Indiana!

ONK thing at least may be said in defense of th«- repeated Democratic assaults now being made on Senator Hrice he is representing the wishes of 81,000 majority of his constituents, and this ought to be Democratic. liut it is not.

LAHOH THE Fill ST TO SITFFKH. Speaking against the tariff on coal in the present tariff bill, the Indianapolis Naes says: "The protection is principally for the benefit of the mine owners and railroads of Maryland and West Virginia. Surely the digging of coal out of the hills of Maryland and West Virginia needs no protection." livery industry, in every State, of this Union needs protection, if it cannot stand and pay good wages without protection. The digging and transportation of coal in Maryland and West Virginia, if it cannot be done without protection, needs it. just the same as the manufacturer of tin plate in Indiana needs it, if it cannot stand and support its laborers without protection. If the mining and transportation of coal in these two Eastern States is threatened by the free coal from Nova Scotia, then for the sake of all those engaged in the digging- and transportation of it, a tariff should be placed on the foreign article to stop the invasion and the evil effect of its importation. This proposition will not be denied except by those who know but little about the principle of a protective tariff. So many people have the mistaken idea that the protection mentioned above is for the side benefit of those who own the mines and the railroads of Maryland and West Virginia. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Newts overlooks the thousands of laborers who labor in these two great industries. If the tariff should be taken off' coal and all all our Eastern supply furnished by Nova Scotia, what would become of all those men now engaged in mining and shipping coal from these two States? An '•independent" view of facts by a newspaper will never convince anybody that the owners of mines and railroads are the only people interested in their successful operation. A fact never changes, no matter how it is looked at. When a great industry stops, the whole community is crippled as well as the owners.

THK March Social Economist treats of three advances toward sound economics, viz., Thomas 15. Reed's great argument in Congress that national prosperity must be founded on the consuming power or living- standard of the wage class: the Uritisli Government's adoption of the eight-hour law at an advanced rate of wages in its war shops, and Professor Adams' recognition of the fact that the highest consuming power of the masses could alone justify the leisure of the classes. The distribution of wealth, productive and consumable, is more exhaustively discussed than has ever been done by Mallock, and in a manner which socials should study. The tendency of a financial crisis to send people from the towns to the land is treated in an interesting article on "From Desert Herding to Intensive Farming." The Social l-Ji'oiiiim ixl is the chief of economic magazines.

TIIK Wilson bill after being- cut and kicked and jumped upon, and trampled in the mud and ripped and torn and covered all over with disgust and desecration has been reported, bruised and tattered to the full Senate committee. Poor thing! This unadulterated emblem of tariff reform will be cussed and discussed for the next three months with its fate suspended between the heavens and the earth. In the meantime certain Democratic Senators are lining their pockets with their speculations on sugar stocks in Wall street. No wonder the people are becoming disgusted with Democracy.

LOCHKKX is carrying things with a high hand in the Pension bureau. In the deficiency bill passed last December, a proviso was inserted declaring a pension to be a vested right so far that it cannot be suspended or taken away without thirty days' notice to the pensioner and information of the nature of the charges against him. Hut Lochren has paid no sort of attention to it. lie has arbitrarily suspended pensioners without a hearing, despite this provision of law. The veterans will find out after awhile that Democratic control means injustice and oppression to them.

TIIK manner and method of selecting delegates different from that herefore in vogue is receiving considerable discussion sinee the suggestion made by TIIK JOURNAL last week. The plan similar to that of drawing jurors seems to meet with popular favor. The general expression is in favor of some plan that will break up prearranged slates or combinations. The average nonoffice seeking voter demands fair play.

NOTWITHSTANDING the verdict of the jury acquitting Dan Couglilm of the murder of Dr. Cronin the public at large believe that he is guilty. Dr. Cronin was murdered and Dan Couglilin was one of the murderers. The "reasonable doubt" theory saved Dan Coughlin from the penitentiary or the gallows.

THK net increase in the public debt during February was $40,004,215. The rule for the past twenty years or more, under Republican administration, was to report monthly a substantial decrease. This is one of the effects of the "change" for which the people voted in the fall of 189:.'.•

VOTING I5V MACHINEltV. The Myers ballot machine for voting is gradually supplanting the old method of voting in New York. At the local elections held the other day mention is made of this machine being used at several places. At Leroy it is stated that two machines were used, and over 1,000 votes were polled before o'clock. At Phelps 1.05!i votes were polled with one machine. Not a mistake was made, and the canvass was complete within twenty minutes after the polls closed. At Genoa four machines were used, six districts voting in one room, replacing forty Australian booths used in the town meeting last year, and saved four-fifths of the former expenses. At Wliileboro the working of the machine was above criticism. The total results were known in just thirty-eight minutes after the polls closed. The probabilities are that in a few years they will be in general use throughout the State, and like all improvement in doing things they will be introduced everywhere and the people will wonder how they could get along without them. The ballot machine is one of the coming reforms.

HOW TO IIIVOHCI! POLITICS AND TIIK Mtjl.'OH TKAI FIC. The Gothenburg system of regulating the liquor tratlic, says E. It. L. Gould in the March I'oi'mn, would help wonderfully to accomplish a reformation of politics. The divorce would be absolute and permanent. Politicians of modern .stamp do not concern themselves very much with things out of which they cannot make money. A large revenue now comes to them from the liquor interest, and with this cut off they would leave the system to run itself, upon finding that they could not exploit it for private gain. If an American adaptation of the Gothenburg plan can succeed in breaking up the alliance between liquor and politics, besides abolishing the saloon as we know it to-day. it will have rendered two such supreme services that little else need be demanded.

CHICAGO Jnicr-Occan: If Congress should adopt General Lew Wallace's idea of "An Academy of Forty Immortals," and leave it to the President to name, he would likely mark the hero of the present administration as "thir-ty-nine of them,", and only want one more. Two to one he would not mention D. 15. Hill.

of Ota Hiitu]'oii.

Ota Cromwell, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Hampton, died Saturday. March 10. lS'.il, at her home on east Spring- street. She had been an invalid for eight years. She was born at Gosport, Ind..

She was a kind and affectionate child and loved by all who knew her. bearing- her aillictions with great patience. It was always her desire to become a member of the Christian church, but on account of her afflictions the matter was postponed. The remains were taken to Gosport Monday for interment.

An Appeal for the Y. M. C. A. Dr. R. .1. Cunningham made a strongappeal Sunday morning at Center church in behalf of the Y.M.C.A. He said that the city could not do without it. The good that it had done was incalculable. The good that it could do and would in the future made necessary that the Christian people of Crawfordsville should maintain it. It will require §2,000 to pay the rent and defray the running expenses until .luly. 181»5. This sum must be provided for at once.

E. church.

Todd having moved out last Thursday. The origin of the blaze is unknown.

Col. Sillowaye resides at at 8 Pine St.. Boston. Mass.. where in an interview with him he talked very interestingly: "On the 19th of April, 1S01, I enlisted in the army of the North. I weighed 102 pounds. After servingfour years and eight months in the Army and Navy, and suffering from wounds aud rheumatism, 1 was discharged. I weighed the day I was discharged 1 OH pounds. Every year 1 had attacks of nervous prostration: shortness of breath and the loss of appetite were not the least of my misfortunes. I tried numberless things. Nothing did me any good. ••While employed in Boston I was compelled to resign my position on account of ill-health. I consulted several eminent physicians, and took their medicines. No use—I grew worse day after day. They told me I could not live. I could not walk alone in the street without falling or clinging to the railings. At times 1 would shake and twitch. Had spells of falling down in the office and on the street. "In the house 1 had to lie down or drop down several times I believed I was at death's door. I had been commander of three different G. A. R. Posts, and my comrades advised me to try Dr. Greene Ner-
