WHAT will the tariff bill be like by the time the tinkers get through with it?

No man or body of men will get into trouble if they obey the laws of the land.

THE present session of the Senate is the first under Democratic control for thirty-five years. How do you like it?

THE JOURNAL, is in favor of that man for the vacancy in the City Council who will vote for a system of sewerage.

THAT debt statement issued by the Secretary of the Treasury and proving a deficit of §75,000.000 for the fiscal year would seem to argue, the necessity for "a change."

THE loss to fruit raisers, gardeners, and canners by the strike will be up in the millions. The finest of fruits are all over the country being fed to the hogs, or allowed to rot on the vines and in the orchards.

IT is a mistaken policy to stop all public improvements in the city in order to hoard up the taxes. The men who labor need the money, and it is nuch better that they should earn it work than that it should be doled v, it in the name of charity.

THE two newspaper correspondents, Shriver and Edwards, who told the truth concerning certain Senators and the sugar trust, have been indicted by the grand jury for refusing to reveal the source of their information. Ilavermeyer, wh® is the head of the trust, declined to say how much money he contributed to the Democratic campaign fund goes scot free. The offense, refusing to answer questions pat by the committee, was the same in both instances. Why this discrimination?

THE Anarchist Governor of Illinois has sent along protest to President Cleveland against the United States sending troops to the sacred soil of Illinois and demands their immediate withdrawal. The President replied to the effect that Federal troops were sent to Chicago in strict accordance with the constitution and laws and upon the demand of the Post Office Department as well as by the United States Courts. The President said the presence of troops by his authority was not only proper but necessary. The President's course is to be commended.

WHEN Senator Davis, of Minnesota, was asked by a constituent to vote for a resolution introduced by Populist Kyle designed to discountenance Federal interference with strikes Senator Davis, with fine spirit and independence, replied that his constituent might as well ask him to vote to dissolve the government. This declaration was courageous, manly. and patriotic. It has evoked the applause of law-abiding citizens throughout the country. It should run like iron thi'ough the blood of timid, halting, demagogic members of Congress.

BY the Senate tariff bill the internal ^ax on whisky lias been increased from 00 cents to §1.10 per gallon, but that already manufactured and in bond is not to be effected, and the holders are to have eight years, instead of three years as a present, in which to take it out and pay the tax. As there are 200,000,000 gallons in bond, or enough to supply the country for two years, this means an out-and-out present to the whisky trust of 340,000,000, and the loss to the Government of all revenue from that source for two years. The champion of the whisky trust was Senator Daniel W. Voorliees.

THE Washington correspondent of the Chicago Inter-Oecan says now this Senate tariff bill, burdened with its load of infamy and bargains, and labeled a bill of sale, goes to await its fate in the House. The sugar trust has, if not all it asks, all it needs. The sugar producer loses his bounty in Louisiana and Nebraska. TheJ'opulist is denied free barb wire. Free traders like Mills are outraged by the duty on iron ore and coal. Protectionists must be aghast at the low rates on every industry but cotton, fortunate in having a Southern home. Such industrial interests as have such a home have been protected. The rest have been slaughtered. Out of the medley of contradictory enactments the sugar trust emerges triumphant.

WHICH W1T,L, IT UK*

A HIGH protective tariff has always lowered the price of wool. The higher the tariff the lower went the price. THE JOURNAL has dropped the wool question, evidently satisfied that free wool is the proper thing.—Aryus-News.

With all respect that is due the writer of the above paragraph, we are still constrained to say that there is about as much twaddle in it as one would hear from a lot of ducks about a mud puddle on a rainy day. The Aryus-Ncws and the Democracy in general, have always insisted that we should have cheap wool in order to have cheap clothing. If wool gets cheaper the higher the tariff goes, why does not the Anjus-Newc advocate a high tariff on it in order to make it "heap? A week ago we asked the --jus-Neivs what a person had to advocate in order to be a "representative" Democrat. We got no answer. We now ask it if it is in favor of cheap wool, and whether it will favor, in the coming camDaign, a high tariff on it in order to make it cheap. We await the answer with pleasure. We want to know whether we are to have cheap wool made so by free trade, or made cheap by a high tariff. If the position of the Aryus-News is true what becomes of 'the Democratic axiom that the tariff is a tax paid by the consumer?

I'l iiu DEMA( O( Y.

The Aryus-News takes a tilt at Pullman, his town and his industrial plant and denounces the man as a "protection prince," the town as the "best example of protection in this country" and the plant as only "another protected industry with a strike on its hands," and makes the demagogic statement that the men who work there are "human cattle, white slaves.1' George M. Pullman may be a protectionist and -probably is, but so far as his industrial plant is concerned it cannot be classed with the so called "tariff taxed industries." The product of the Pullman shops is not on the tariff list. The shops at Pullman are among those "unprotected industries" which Democrats have so long pointed to as examples of the uselessness of protection. In common with thousands of others of like industries they have shared in the indirect benefits of the protective policy. The fact that the 5,816 laborers at Pullman until the commencement of the very serious depression of last year were receiving 8305,000 a month, an average of over $52, and had on deposit in the Pullman Savings Bank §4S8,000, is ample evidence to show the falsity and the demagogy of the statement that Pullman owns them body and soul or that they are human cattle or white :1a

POLITICAL. CAI'ITAL.

JJIKE a fish at a worm, a few papers are grabbing at the Pullman strike for political capital. The Aryus-News sa.y a this unfortunate condition of affairs is all caused by protection. If there is a tariff placed on passenger, freight or street cars it has thus far escaped our notice. If the Aryus-News believes the ctrines it announces why don't it go into the business and make money as it claims Pullman has done. He started into the business about as poor as one can be and has done as much for the country as any man in it. He has built a town of many thousands and furnishes labor for several thousands of laborers who were idle before. If they are idle now, they are in no worse condition than they were before, and many hundreds of them have homes paid for during the time they have worked for Pullman. Will any one say that anything that will build a town like Pullman, is not a good thing to have?

No, THE JOURNAL hast not given up the wool question as intimated by the Aryus-Nev:s. We have always advocated the idea of buying nothing abroad the like of which we can make or raise in this country. Even though it might in a few cases enhance the price for a time, we agree with Jefferson, and insist on giving that additional employment to our own people and keeping that amount of money at home. If wool was selling at 10 cents per pound to-day and every farmer had a llock of sheep, as he would have at that price for wool, the value of a suit of clothes would be enhanced only a dollar, while at the same time the income of every farmer would be enhanced from S100 to 8300. This amount of money distributed uniformly among the farmers of Indiana would be considered a godsend at the present time.

WE have heard the story of the old woman who was telling her neighbor how to distinguish good eggs from bad ones. She said to put them in water and the bad ones would sink or swim, she had forgotten which. The ArgunNews thinks that either a tariff or free trade lessens the price of .wool, it not certain which.

IT is a great pity that the workingmen of this country did not see in 1893 that a vote for a change when the highest prosperity existed was a vote to take bread from their own mouths.

MARTIN IRONS who engineered a big railroad strike a few years ago is now peddling peanuts down in Missouri somewhere. This will be the future of Debs.

STAND BY TIIE PHESIDEXT. It is gratifying to note the general condemnation by the Democratic press of the State's rights and anarchistic utterances of Governor Altgeld, of Illinois. Even Secretary Gresliam came down from his "biggest-Demo-crat-of-them-all" perch to say that Altgeld's arguments were "State's rights run to seed." However, if Grover Cleveland had not previously rebuked Altgeld Gresham would not have dared to say so much on his own account. But the firmness exhibited by Mr. Cleveland in the pending strikes, and the stand which he has taken for the supremacy, of the National Government as against the State's rights doctrine of the anarchist Governor of Illinois are patriotic and worthy the position he holds. It is a complete vindication by a Democratic President of the principle which was held to and fought for by the Republican party as against the State's rights and secession branch of the Democratic party thirtytwo years ago.

The question should have been forever settled in our Nation by the surrender of Lee at Appomattox. The one great result of the war of the Rebellion was the firm establishment in our Republic of the principle that the National Government, is and must be suircmc. But what do we see to-day? Twenty-nine years after the surrender of an armed rebellion which had waged a sanguinary war for over four years to establish the supremacy of the State over the National Government, the miserable Governor of Illinois rises up like a copperhead from the grass and darting forth the forked tongue of State's rights, hissed a protest against the President of the United States exercising the authority vested in him by the constitution and the law of the land. It would, indeed, be a sad condition of things if the President had no power to act. The Governor of Illinois being in sympathy with anarchy, a mob of strikers organizes in his State and interferes with the transmission of the United States mails, interrupts interstate commerce, burns and destroys property and paralyzes all the industries of the country. Yet the Governor refuses to recognize the necessity of calling sut the militia, but declares that if it becomes necessary he will do so and so. Suppose the President had no authority to intervene and use the military force of the National Government to protect property and lives and suppress the lawlessness, what would be the result? It would, indeed, be the culmination of State's rights—the right of a State to destroy itself and the National Government as well. It would be Altgeld, anarchy and ruin.

The constitution declares that "the President shall be'commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several States when called into the service of the United States." It is his duty to "insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promove the general welfare." "The statute of 1S07. rchapter 39, said Judge Sprague, of Massachusetts, when the war powers of the President were called in question by proslavery advocates in 18G3, "provides that whenever it is lawful for the President to call forth the militia to suppress an insurrection, he may employ the land and naval forces for that purpose. The power to use the army is thus expressly confirmed, but the manner in which they are to be used is prescribed. That is left to the discretion of the President.'''

If a Democrat of the backbone and patriotism of Claude Matthews, Governor of Indiana, had been President in stead of Cleveland, he would not only have rebuked the anarchist Governor of Illinois, but would have declared martial law for the State of Illinois, called the militia of that State into the service of the United States throttled the State's rights viper and suppressed the mob at once.

CHAS. M. TRAVIS.

DKHS appears to be beginning to realize the serious condition of affairs which his American Railway Union has brought about. At all events lie has begun to make statements and issue manifestoes and write proclamations with truly alarming frequency and fiuencv.

TJIE two tariff bills are now in the hands of a conference committee. The probabilities are that the Wilson bill howlers in the House will surrender to the trust besmeared Senators and that the Senate bill will become a law in the course of jtime.

DEIIS says so far as injunctions are concerned: "We are not troubling ourselves about that part of the managers' game." John Y. McKane said: "Injunctions don't go here." John Y. McKane is now in Sing Sing."

"My little boy was very bad off for two months with diarrhoea. We used various medicines, also called in two doctors, but nothing done him any good until we used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarhoea Remedy, which gave immediate relief and soon cured him. I consider it the best medicine made and can conscientiously recommend it to all who need a diarrhoea or colic medicine. J. E.

AFRAID OF THE WOMEN.

Deputy Agnew, at Gnrret, Waiting for An Outbreak.

Indianapolis Journal: Grant Agnew, one of the gallant deputies on the staff of the United States marshal, is in a quandary at Garret, where the Baltimore & Ohio is hourly expected to be in the hands of the strikers. Agnew went to Garret on Friday with a half bushel of restraining orders, which he was instructed to serve at the slightest indication of a revolt. Yesterday evening he wired Marshal Hawkins that he needed badges and commissions worse than orders. He said that the women of the town were holding a meeting, and had resolved that the men must come out. The deputy feared that if the campaign of the ladies resulted successfully he would have something like two hundred strikers to contend with. His coinmissions were promptly forwarded and will be tacked to the law-abiding citizens of the town.

A GRAVE HAD BEEN ROBBED.

l'rojjreHS of tlie Work iit tlio Old Town Cemetery—The Former Owner of die Land.

Up to last Saturday evening 134 bodies had been taken up in the old graveyard. In several instances persons had been buried over other persons, a and sometimes the grave of one body would lap over that of another. It one place two children had been buried and their mother had been placed directly over them. In nearly every instance there remains nothing but bones. One skeleton was taken up that must have belonged to a man nearlj' seven feet high. A startling discovery was made last week when one grave was opened. The coffin was there, only a little bit decayed, but when the lid was removed there were no bones inside, nor any remains of a body. The grave had doubtless been robbed. There was no name to indicate who had been buried there, and for over twenty years the friends of the deceased had supposed that the body was in the grave, when, in fact, it had doubtless been taken to some medical college and cut up in the interest of science, and the bones to-day are scattered to the four winds, and nothing can ever get them together again until the appearance of the angel Gabriel. We know not how many graves contain not the bodies supposed to be buried therein. This vacant grave at the old town cemetery is still open and the coffin remains in the bottom.

The land occupied by the old town cemetery was formerly owned by Williamson Dunn and if it is ever vacated it will revert to his heirs. A much better plan would have been to re-in-terred the bodies in other cemeteries, as it would save another removal which must be done in the course of time.

THOMAS HESTER ON TRIAL.

Trying to Find Out Who Trespassed AV lien Chas. J'eim Got Knocked Down.

The trial of Thomas Hester on charge of assault and battery with intent to kill Chas. Penn, of Brown's Valley, took place before the Mayor Monday. White & Reeves represented Hester. The trouble occurred on June 25 in a blacksmith shop. The two principals in the affair contradicted each other as to liow Hester came to go back into the shop where Penn got knocked down. Penn says Hester followed him in, and Hester says Penn invited him in to "hear something that lie least expected." When Hester got in the shop he says Penn struck him twice, and rther substantiate this he took off his coat and showed the bruises and scabs upon his elbows caused by the blows. Yet he did not know with what Penn had struck him. Hester then says he 'Struck Penn with his left hand uncler the chin and followed this up with a blow with his right hand. This knocked Penn down into some scrap iron, and when he was atliered up he looked like a Chicago rioter. Witnesses were introduced to prove the general good character of

Hester and the case rested. The prosecutor then made a motion to strike oul that part of the indictment charging the defendant with an intent to kill Penn. The Mayor fined Hester §5 but an appeal may be taken.

A Successor For Prof. Smith. The committee on instruction of Wabash college are on the hunt for a successor to Prof. Alex. Smith, who resigned the chair of Chemistry last June. Another Prof. Smith, who has spent two years in Chicago University, was in the city a few days ago to confer with the trustees but he was not engaged. Prof. Howe, of Louisville, will be here next week to consult

about the position.

Dr. Cunningham's livening Services. Next September Dr. R. J. Cunningham will begin to deliver a series of Sunday evening addresses on sociological questions pertinent to the times. The subjects will be announced each week and it is needless to say that they will be bandied in an interesting, patriotic and thoroughly able manner

FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP REPUBLICANS.

They Place a Tleket In the Field Last Saturday—First Class Material.

The Republicans of Franklin township met in convention at Campbell's hall Saturday, July 7, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the various township offices. The convention was called to order by S. S. Martin, the township chairman. W. II. H. Smith was chosen chairman of the convention and C. E. Butler secretary, after which the following ticket was put in the field:

Trustee—Daniel Lewis. Assessor—W. T. Coleman. Justices--Wm. Armstrong, I). V. Pittman and .T. II. .Stewart.

Constables—S. M. Miller, Charlie Cook and W. J. Booher. But one ballot was taken and that for assessor, there being three cand: dates 109 ballots were cast and Cole man received a majority on first ballot. The ticket is a good one and will undoubtedly be elected. The conven tion was harmonious from start to finish and the crowd in attendance showed the Republicans to be in to win. Yet from now until the last vote is in the box let every Republican stay in the harness and remember that we are not to have a walk away but only by hard work can we expect the victorv.

A WOMAN'S BACK.

THE MAINSPRING OF HER LIFE.

:[SPECIAL TO OCR LAD* HEADERS.]

Few people realize this. What can she do, where can she go, so long as that dreadful backache saps both strength and ambition? :She cannot walk or stand, her duties are heavy burdens, and she is utterlymiserable. The cause is some derangement of the uterus or womb. Backache is the sure symptom.

^ARRH HOLS

For years Sarah Holstein, who lives at 7 Perry Street, in Lowell, Mass., suffered with falling of the womb. The best doctors failed to relieve her, and as a last resort she purchased six bottles of Lydia E. Pinkhairi's Vegetable Compound. Now she is a well woman.

The dreadful pain in her back stopped after taking the second bottle. She Wishes she had taken it sooner, and saved both money and years of suffering.

This Vegetable Compound is the one unfailing remedy for such troubles. A. woman discovered it and gave it to woman.
