Entered at the Postofflce at Crawfordsville, Indiana, as second-class matter.

FRIDAY, MAY 3. 1895.

THE true Republican policy at present is to give the Democrats plenty of rope, and they will do the rest.

Ur to this date there are only seven postoffices named Trilby in the United States, with thirty-seven States to hear from.

ST. LOUIS Globe-Democrat: In ©rder to facilitate business in Congress a leading member of the House proposes that the chairs be removed and benches substituted. The people have a better plan than that to facilitate business, and they applied it last fall when they removed the occupants of the chairs.

A FLOATING item is going the rounds of the press that Gen. Lew Wallace had delivered 120 lectures and has thereby increased his bank account §12,000. THE JOURNAL has not kept tab on the number of his lectures nor has it seen his bank book, but is inclined to be incredulous as to the correctness of both statements.

ST. PAUL Call: If instead of starting anew paper in Chicago the Democrats will take the Tribune for free trade doctrine and the Tnter-Occan for free silver, they will have it all. It will be cheaper for them to take two papers at an expense of 4 cents per day rather than to expend hundreds of thousands in establishing one of their own.

SENATOR VOOKIIEE has fulminated on the silver question, and declares in favor of free and unlimited coinage. You can't tell where he will be by the time Congress convenes. He has been on every side of the currency question, as he has been on the tariff. As a political mountebank the Senior Senator from Indiana takes not only the cake but the entire bakery.

BIG sleeves are not a new thing, as will be seen by the following ordinance in regard to them, adopted by the town of Dedham, Mass., in 1039: "And be it further enacted, that hereafter no person whatsoever shall make a garment for women or any other sex with sleeves more than half an ell wide in the widest part, and so proportionate for bigger or smaller persons. And for present reformation of immoderate great sleeves and some other superfluities which may easily be redressed without much prejudice or spoil of garments, it is ordered," etc.

TERRE HAUTE Express: We are beginning to learn that the great men of the early republic covered a subject very fully. Jefferson and Hamilton are quoted with great satisfaction hy the silver monometallist, the gold monometallist and the bimetallist, each one finding something said by these leaders of two opposing political parties so prove that his own position is the only Jacob Townsend blown in the bottle. Jefferson has been used as an authority to prove that gold alone, silver alone or both together should be used in the unit of value and one writer that devotes his time to teach ing finance to the workingmen quotes Jefferson as an advocate of national paper money.

THE Cincinnati Cminncrcial-Gazcttc states the whole currency history of the country in a nutshell when it says: "Some of the Republican papers are saying the party must declare in favor of a sound currency, as if there ever was a time when the party did not stand for sound currency. On that question it lias never wabbled. Democracy is the only political party in this country that has been for an unsound currency. The Federalists stood for good money, and established the old United States Bank. The Democrats, under Jackson, destroyed the bank and opened the doors for a flood of wildcat banks. Under Democratic rule merchants, millers, bakers, barbers and blacksmiths issued shinplasters to circulate as money. The Republicans got rid of the whole pestiferous brood of Democratic wildcats and created the National banks, and issued greenbacks."

Sfi®

"AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP." Archbishop Ireland recently delivered a lecture in Boston for the benefit of the Working Boys' Home. His sub ject was "American Citizenship" and it contained so much patriotism that it should be read and re-read by every native and foreign born American. In part he said: "American citizenship is American .manhood, the manhood of all born or adopted into the American nation The creation of the Republic of America was the boldest political act re­

corded in history. But I am afraid that patriotism with some who profess to be the stanchest Americans is in practice made subservient to business claims or to a false sentiment of self-respect. Among the misfortunes of America I must make mention of the caucus and primary. By these a few men are able to impose upon the whole party their own candidates. Wire-pullers and slat.e-malters take the place of the people. The liquor power must be totally eliminated from politics if we respect the institutions of American democracy and desire their permanence. The aims of the saloons are selfish, its methods are slimy and criminal. The work of the patriot is so to elevate among the whole people the standard of citizenship that none shall permit malign agencies to influence them in the exercise of their franchise.

Immigration must be restricted so as to exclude criminals and paupers. Nor should immigrants in any State of the Union be prematurely authorized to vote. A due respect for American citizenship guards against a reckless extension of it to men coming from other lands. No encouragement must be given to social or political organizations or methods which perpetuate in this country foreign ideas or customs. An Irish-American, a German-Ameri-can or French-Ameican vote is an intolerable anomaly.

German Kitual Can't Be Used. EVAXSVII.LE, Ind., May 1.—-Judge Foster in the supreme courj, handed down an opinion in the action of St. George lodge, Knights of Pythias, vs. Henry Rosenthal et al. The suit was to enjoin the defendants from printing and distributing a certain ritual of the improved order of Knights of Pythias on the ground that the rituals being printed were copies of the plaintiff's ritual. A temporary restraining order was issued some days ago by Judge Foster. Following this the defendant filed a motion to have the order overruled. It was agreed that the two rituals be submitted to Judge Foster for inspection. After the arguments were heard the judge handed down his decision. The court was of the opinion that the use of the defendant's ritual would constitute a violation of the restraining order heretofore issued, and the motion to dissolve the restraining order was accordingly overruled. The German rituals are in the hands of the sheriff.

lJiirnesd to Death.

SorTn BEND, Ind., May 2.—A sickening tale of the frightful fate of two small children, the 3-year-old twins of Mr. and Mrs. George Lowskowski, has just reached here from a Polish settlement in the woods several miles from this city. The children were playing around a bonfire built by the father to burn up the brush and stumps he had cleared up in endeavoring to cut from the forest a farm. Their clothing became ignited when no one was near but a 9-vear-old brother. He fought bravely to extinguish the flames, but did not succeed until both children were nearly burned to a crisp and he had received injuries from which he may die.
