FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1894

THE city health authorities should spare no pains in forcing citizens to clean up. A few vigorous prosecutions would have a wholesome effect.

JIM ELMORE'S campaign in Ripley township seems to have subsided. Jim can be depended upon to bob up later on. however, like a fly in the ointment.

IT is interesting to note that the second Democratic house after that of "Czar" Reed, vindicated the much abused rules of Mr. Reed by adopting them,

GEN. HENRY W. SLOCUM, one of the conspicuous figures of the war, died at his home in Brooklyn last Saturday. Thus one by one the heroes of our civil war are passing away.

THE Indiana Democratic delegation is divided on the quorum-counting proposition. Brookshire will vote for the new rule. The Eighth district member is to be credited with some pol itical sense.

CRAAVFORDSVII.I.K should buy the water works or encourage the formation of a new water company by granting a good framcliise. It has been conclusively demonstrated that Crawfordsville and the Stanton-Collin syndicate cannot agree.

VORY BUOOKSIIIKE absented himself from Congress yesterday to avoid voting for an endorsement of "C/.ar' Reed's famous rules. Vory abused Reed too harshly all over this district to have the nerve to vote him an endorsement mow. Vory favored the adoption of the rules just the same.

SOME Republicans suspect a still hunt on the part of the Democratic city candidates. Forewarned is forarmed. Every Republican can do apart toward preventing the success of a still hunt by casting a straight ticket in the ballot box early on the morning of Tuesday. May 1.

FROM every part of the industrial North comes up a popular verdict condemning the party in power as incompetent and untrustworthy. The Republicans of Crawfordsville will be called upon in a couple of weeks to emphasize this verdict. Let it be so emphatic that its meaning cannot be misunderstood.

BEN SWANK, the oracle of Bristle Ridge, has but little faith in the success of the county Democracy this fall. When asked if Coal Creek had any Democratic candidates he replied: "If they air any they air dash damned greenies. I aint heerd of any pantin' like lizards on a rail for nominations. They know too much out in old Coal Creek."

TIIE State election in Oregon will take place June 4, at which time her two members of Congress will be elected. Representatives Hermann and Ellis have been renominated and of course will be re-elected. This will be the first gun in Congressional elections. By the way W. R. Ellis is a Montgomery county boy and was raised in Brown township.

THE Indianapolis Sentinel is hard to please. It read Dan Voorliees out of the Democratic party because he favored the Senate amendments to the Wilson bill and is now busy reading David B. Ilill out of the party because he is opposed to these same amendments. It has not been long since the Sentinel had an uncertain standing in the party and there were Democrats who stood ready to kick it out into' the cold, cold world.

Two significant facts, stated by Senator Hale, of Maine, in his speech in the Senate a few days ago, show most conclusively why the South should not be allowed to impose free trade on this country: 1. New York alone, has more manufactures than the entire 15 Southern States. 2. Of the entire amount of wages paid, the South contributes but oneeighth.

THE trend of sentiment in Congress is shown in the fact that but seven pension bills have been reported to the House, and not all of these favorably, while 262 Southern war claims, once rejected by a commission, and involving millions, have been reported favorably and placed on the calendar. Not a pension hating paper in the country has had a word to say against these trumped war claims. Verily, the South is in the saddle.

SARGENT FOR CONGRESS. Ifrank Sargent, Chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, announces that he will accept the Republican nomination for Congress from the Eighth district if it is tendered to him. The Terre Haute correspondent of the Cincinnati Commcrcial-Oazettc says that this means that he will be nominated for the reason that the party leaders are generally in favor of placing him on the ticket, it being conceded that it would be a strong move to secure his nomination on the Congressional ticket. In reply to a letter sent him by some Republicans of Terre Haute he says: "After a careful consideration of your letter relative to allowing my name to be presented as a possible candidate for Congress in the coming convention, I have concluded to place the matter entirely in the hands of my friends in this city, who best know my qualifications and sentiments. If in their judgment I can represent the people of the district to the end that prosperity may again surround us, and the conditions of wage workers be improved and idleness and want driven from our land, and if the Republican party will be satisfied with a representative whose aim will be to represent the people of the Eighth District honestly and fearlessly, one who makes no pledge except to discharge the duties of the office to the best of his ability, I will allow my name to be presented, if my friends believe it to be the best interest of the district."

The district is Democratic by 1,200 or 1,300 majority. With such a candidate as Frank Sargent the Republicans believe they can carry it by a majority that will run into four figures.

HEWAItE OF OVER CONFIDENCE. The Indianapolis Journal this morning has an excellent article on the pending elections in Indiana. It appeals to the voters of the State to rally to the polls to make their protest against that "culminating- atrocity,'' the Wilson bill, and that the influence of the result will do much to defeat this iniquitous measure. "There is," says the Journal, "one danger and that is over confidence. Republicans may be so confipent of victory and so elated by the victories elsewhere that they may not deem it necessary to poll a full vote. They will make a great mistake if they fail to put forth the same effort now that they would if the vote were close." These are timely words for the Republicans of Crawfordsville. Beware of the still hunt campaign of the Democrats. They may surprise you by the fullness of their vote on May 1. Listen not to the honeyed words of Democratic candidates when they say that they have no sympathy with the Wilson bill or the pension policy of their party in Congress. Let every Republican and every dissatisfied Democrat tile his protest by his ballot."

CHICAGO Intcv-Occnn: General Lew Wallace is correcting history. He makes out a very satisfactory case, and rectifies errors for the guidance of future historians. At a reunion on Shiloli battle-field last Saturday he showed why he could not be held responsible for the calamity overtaking the Federeral troops the first day of the fight. To the charge that he marched but six miles the day he was needed at the front, and that his direction was away from rather than toward the fight, he showed by a survey made April 6 that his division marched over eighteen miles that day, and that every step was toward the battle, and some of it through mud that took the gun wheels to the axles. As for the second day's fight, that, he says, he began, and stopped fighting three-quarters of a mile beyond Sherman's point at the beginning.

CARNEGIE, PHIPPS IT Co. were fined by the Secretary of the Navy §400,000 for furnishing defective armor plates Grover Cleveland reduced the fine to SI 40,000. Thereypon Mr. Carnegie wrote a letter in favor of the Wilson bill. Free trade literature comes high but then to get such a letter from a protectionist Grovet doubtless thought it was worth $200,000.

THE city of Logansport owns its own water works and the rates to consumers there are about one-half of the rates here. The reports show that with these low rates the city derives a handsome income besides the interest on their bonds. Municipal ownership is the correct policy not only for light but for water.

:'?i3

EX-GOVERNOR PORTER once said in a speech in this city that the Republican party might be compared to the front wheels of a wagon and the Democratic party to the hind wheels. It is true to-day even when the Democrats are in power. Witness the adoption of the Reed quorum counting rule.

THERE is an excellent chance for Republicans to elect a lot of school trustees in this county judging from the excellent nominations so far made. Our advice to the Republicans of the various townships who have not yet nominated is to follow the example of those that have.

E. R. MUI.T.ER, of Lafayette, proprietor of the Chicago Steam Dye Works, has established an agency in Crawfordsville at 123 south Green street at the City Laundry in charge of Miss Hattie Miscli.

TRADE UNIONISM AND PROTECTION. THE JOURNAL elsewhere to-day prints an interesting letter from Great Falls, Montana, written by A. T. Kellison, in which he speaks of the powerful influence of trades unions in maintaining a high rate of wages for labor in that city. There could be no stronger argument in favor of the principles of protection as opposed to the principles of free trade than that presented by Mr. Kellison. The free trade theory is that of the let-alone doctrine to the effect that you must "buy in the cheapest and sell in the dearest market," and that everything must be settled by the unrestrained and unqualified economic law of supply and demand. That carried to its logical effect would repeal all our contract labor laws,—laws that were enacted by the demand of the laboring men of the United States that they should be protected against that form of competion. If the free trade doctrine be sound, by what principle do you step in and say to the employer of the United States, "You shall not buy your labor in the cheapest markets." The underlying proposition of the free trader is that it is idle to attempt to modify by legislation the working of immutable economic laws. Apply the let-alone theory to the action of men. Do workingmen wait and rely upon the operation of these so-called economic laws on which free trade rests, to regulate their affairs? They combine to bring about an increase in their wages, to elevate their own conditions, to prevent by artificial means means destructive competition. Every labor union that is formed flies in the face of the doctrine of free trade. But none the less are men going to form them. They wield a vast power, they will keep on 'growing, and they exist because they represent the instincts of human nature to unite for self-protec-tion. Every true trade-unionist, thereforefore, must be a sound protectionist. And it |is to his interest that the imported products of cheap labor shall be shut out by protective duties. This makes it possible for the manufacturer and the employer of labor to pay the wages demanded by trades unions. The law of self-preservation is a higher law than any that political economy has ever invented, and, although it is the outcome of human nature, it is immutable. The workingmen of the United States are the nation's protectors, and as Colonel lngersoll said at one time "the nation that will not protect its protectors should be wiped from the map of the earth."

This vicinity was shocked somewhat last Friday thinking it was an earth quake, but they found out it was Frank Shuey after Joe Abbott's turkeys. Frank had purchased a new buggy a few days before of Houlihan it Quillen of your city and brought it home, run it in the barn and the first thing he knew was Abbott's turkeys standing up by the side of the bed and one of them saw his shadow in the bed. Thinking it was another turkey that wanted a fight out of him began picking the bed and kept on so until the bed is ruined. Boys take warning and when you get anew buggy watch for turkeys.

He patiently waited and wounded and afterward captured what proved to be a water fowl seldom seen in this latitude known as the water loon, or great Northern diver, measuring 4 feet and 4 inches from tip to tip. Its plumage was most beautiful and it was quite a curiosity on the street, but no one could name it until it was sent to Lebanon to be mounted.

About ten good Masons from here visited Linden lodge last Saturday night and enjoyed the work as done by Montgomery lodge, but most of all enjoyed the supper as prepared by the good sisters of the M.
