FRIDAY, APRIL 26. 1895.
THE Washington Post calls the condition of the Tennessee Democracy over the gubernatorial muddle "ossification of the conscience.
UNDER the Democratic tariff the importation of luxuries under the free list have increased nearly 300 per cent, over the same importations under the Republican tariff. This proves that the Democratic tariff was not framed in the interest of the people.
THE Democratic tariff is following out English principles in taxing goods everybody must consume and in letting in free of duty those articles which the people of this country could produce profitably but must now produce in competition with «cheap labor and cheap lands of other countries.
THE importations during the first six months of the Wilson tariff law were 8357,000,000 in value against 8305,000,000 in the corresponding sixmonths of last year under the McKinley tariff law, showing an increase of 81,000,000 worth a week of foreign productions added to the stock against which American manufacturers and workmen must compete.
NEW YORK Tribune: The spectacle of Mr. Cleveland and his associates engaging in a campaign to educate the southern Democracy out of its free silver ignorance is an evidence that the circus season is wide open. Nothing more picturesque in its way has been seen since Colonel Don Quixote committed his unprovoked but ineffective assault and battery upon the windmill.
CINCINNATI Commerclal-Qazcttc: In discussing the President's late financial letter, the Washington News asks: "What will Indiana do?" An easy conundrum. The Indiana Democrats will do as they always have done, resolute one way and vote another, but scramble for the offices all the time. In the creed of the Indiana Democracy there are many resolutions but only one article. The Arkansas father told hn3 son to get money honestly if he could, but get money. Transpose money into office, and you have the whole creed of the Indiana Democracy.
IT is estimated, and moderately, that we are paying 8150,000,000 a year to other nations to carry our ocean freight for us. This money goes out of the country, scarcely any of it being spent here in ship repairs. We are carrying about one-eighth of our own trade, and almost nothing for the rest of the world. Once upon a time the American flag floated over three-fourths of our foreign commerce. This situation should not be needlessly prolonged. Subsidies are an agency of relief. Protect our shipping. We are getting good results from subsidizing a fast trans-At-lantic mail line—an accomplishment of the Harrison administration. Push the practice further. In four years we have increased our exports in steam vessels under the American flag between 87,000,000 and 88,000,000.
SENATOR TUJII'IE is now engaged in raising a rumpus over the Nicholson temperance law. Senator Turpie has perhaps forgotten that in 1853 he was a member of the Legislature and advocated and voted for one of the most radical temperance laws ever enacted in the State. It embodied these features: 1. Local option, license or no license to be determined by vote at the
April election. 2. Civil damages, giving the wife and children damages to means of support, growing out of sales whether lawful or unlawful. 3. Requiring saloon keepers to board and take care of all persons they made drunk till they became sober.
The law furthermore discarded all license fees, on the theory that the State ought to be a partner in the unholy" business. It was stringent in the extreme throughout. It was passed by a Democratic Legislature and approved by Joseph A. Wright, a Democratic Governor. After all this it is a little "cheeky" in Mr. Turpie to try to make Democratic capital out of the Nicholson law. The law which Senator Turpie advocated may be found in the Acts of 1853, p. 87.
THE Baltimore Sun commenting on the fearfully and wonderfully con structed income tax law and the rulings concerning the income of gamblers says the best feature of the ruling is that Republican capitalists will have to pay two per cent on the pots they won from Democrats last fall at
the election. Revenues from the earning table or' the crack-a-loo platform are taxable, but losses there can not be deducted. So the same sum may be taxed a hundred or a thousand times in the course of a year. It is said that among those who pursue the gaming industry money circulates with considerable activity. Mr. Smith wins 81,000 at a game of poker, which is subject to taxation. Mr. Jones wins it from him the same night, but that loss can not be deducted from Mr. Smith's income, and he must pay tax on it, though it did not reach his pocket. Mr. Brown wins it from Mr. Jones, but Mr. Jones for the same reason must pay tax on it, and so on all along the line. There are several complications about this ruling, such as compelling men to accuse themselves of violations of law, which lead some to fear that here, as at Balaklava, some one has blundered. Especially if it interferes with Senatorial poker, we may expect to hear more about thin ruling later on.

The article in THE JOURNAL from here some two* weeks [ago with reference to some of our young folks cutting up at church no doubt caused the grand jury to investigate and found indictments against four of them. The parents seemed to be very badly wrought up over the indictments. We dare say there is not a town in Indiana that has tolerated as much disturbance in the last two years as has Darlington. It looks now as if the churches has turned over a new leaf in this respect.

FRANKI.IN, Ind., April25.—Motion for a new trial was argued in the case of James Trulock, Edward Kirk, of Indianapolis, and Lee Martin, of Greenwood, who were found guilty last term of court of robbing the grave of James M. Curry, ex-slieriff of Johnson county, at Greenwood last Christmas night. The defendants claim that Dr. W. M. Wright, of Indiana medical college, will now testify that he was at the college Christmas night and that the defendants did not deliver the body. The case attracted much attention at the last term of court, at which time the jury returned a verdict of guilty and fixed their punishment atsixyeara in state's prison.
Banging fo a Tree.
BRAZIT,. Ind., April 25.—The body of a man was found hanging to a limb of a tree 5 miles south of the city. The discovery was made by some farmers, and by noon hundreds of persons were on the scene viewing the c6rpse. It was evident that the body had swung from the old worm-eaten limb all night, as it was stiff and cold, and it remained hanging until the afternoon, when it was cut down by the coroner. A close examination proved fruitless as to the identification of the man.
