FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15,1895.

MAYOR TAGGART has given notice that gambling in Indianapolis must cease. And now the gamblers want to know where they are at.

THE Louisville Post, Democratic paper which refused to place the name of Hardin at the head of the ticket in its columns, is as happy as a clam at high tide over the election of Bradley. It doubtless thinks that he laughs best who laughs last.

SENATOR BLACKBURN is still claiming the Kentucky Legislature. The Louisville Times flippantly and unfeelingly says that "as a claimant the Roaring Wind of the Bluegrass can discount his brother Tichborne fraud." Joseph seems to be a dead water fowl on the political mill pond.

EVERYTHING that Grover Cleveland stands for, his Hawaiian policy, his Venezuelan policy, his Cuban policy, his Samoan policy, his deflcit-produc-ing tariff policy, his sale of bonds policy, his free trade policy, his hard times policy, in short his whole un-Ameri-can policy, was stamped out at the polls November 5th.

THE Louisville Times philosophically observes: Three years ago Democrats with more zeal than sense busied themselves burying the dead Republican party, and now Republicans of like ilk are performing the same absurd service for the dead Democratic party. In a republic two parties are inevitable and immortal. The corpse of to-day is the undertaker of to-morrow.

OF Dan Voorhees' conversion and his new departure in the lecture field the Indianapolis Sun flippantly remarks:

Dan Voorhees, that dear old swashbuckler, has taken to the lecture platform, with a subject something about a lawyer's idea of heaven. For several years, you know, he's been doing nothing but raising hades, and his conversion is a notable one—one that ought to go down on the books.

SENATOR SHERMAN, in his book, says when he was secretary of the Treasury he found a contract existing for the sale of bonds which "gave a monopoly to the sydicate," and he immediately gave notice of a change in that respect. The result of this action on his part, he points out, "was to so popularize the loan that within a brief period I was able to terminate the contract according to its terms, and to sell the 4 per cent, bonds directly to the people at par, without commission or the aid of a syndicate."

NEW YORK Sun: If, outside of New York City and a few other places, the Democrats fared badly on Tuesday, it is a consolation to know they were not the only victims of the day's fusillade. In the neighborhood of Washington, D. C., within, so'to speak, the shadow of the White House, in the meres of the Virginia shooting preserve, the squirrels fared badly on Tuesday. A lynx-eyed nimrod, gun in hand, made short work, during voting hours, of "the squirrels who came within fire. Thus chipmunks and Democratic majorities fell fast on Tuesday.

THE result of the election last Tuesday was largely a protest against bossism. While the policy of the Democratic administration, both domestic and foreign, cut considerable of a figure, yet in Maryland and Ohio it was a notification to bosses Gorman and Brice that their services were no longer required. And as it has been with Democratic bosses, so it will be with Republican bosses. Piatt, Quay and Clarkson may as well take warning. The masses of the Republican party .will see to it that they will not dictate the nomination for the next Presidency. vH

A DRIVE about the city now will convince the most skeptical that the road roller is a good thing for the streets, On every street where the roller has been used the roadway is smooth, dry and hard, while on the streets where it has not been used the roadway is rough, full of chuck holes, and in manj places positively muddy. As winter nears these chuckholes will become deeper and larger. The roller should have be^n used on every graveled street in the city during the summer months. Our streets would mw be in good condition had the machine been put to the use intended. Tiy all means let us have more rolled streets

PATRIOTISM AND PENSIONS. The Commissioner of Pensions observes in his annualreport that "those who enlisted early and fought in the battles of the war were not moved by mercenary considerations, and, unless actually disabled, did not show the haste in applying for pensions manifested by those who enlisted ner.r the close of the war for large bounties and did little actual service, and who are now the nosiest in clamoring for more pensions." This, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, is equivalent to charging fraud and perjury upon a large number of those who have obtained pensions and in that respect, he is entirely consistent with his own record and with the policy of his party. He has made it his business to discredit the pension system as much as possible and to create a public feeling of suspicion against all applicants for pensions. It is not true, as his statement implies, that only those who enlisted in the early part of the war were actuated by patriotic and unselfish motives. Tens of thousands joined the army after bounties began to be offered who would have done the same if there had been no bounty. The Government bounty-paying was inaugurated in the summer of 1861— under an act of Congress passed July 22 of that year, to be exact—and all recruits after that time secured an advantage of that sort. It is manifestly absurd to say, as the Commissioner practically does, that the principal fighting of the war was done by the comparatively small number of soldiers who enlisted before any bounties were paid. It is no part of his province to pass upon the motives of the men who rallied to the support of the Government at different times during the war. The law prescribes what shall he done in the matter of granting or refusing pensions to them, and this is as far as his functions extend. It is not for him to determine their relative degrees of patriotism, but simply to adjudicate their claims in a just and fair spirit and when he goes out of his way to insult any class or element of them, he deserves severe reprobation from all good citizens.

EFFECT OF THE TARIFF LAW. The London Financial News of October 8 gives clear proof of the Republican position that a low tariff promotes the prosperity of foreign manufacturers and commerce at the expense of our own. It declares that the reduction of duties under the Wilson-Gor-man tariff law has been "the salvation of British trade," and that this has not beep followed by anyaincrease of purchases for England from America, but rather that England has bought less from us than before. The News then says:

Practically every penny that was subscribed here toward the recent Anferican loan has been got back through the expansion in the exports of woolens and worsteds but the United States has not confined her increased purchases to those articles. Last month she bought less raw wool than in Septembr, 1804, but had to pay more for it. She took more cotton pieces, more iron, more alkali, and more of sundry articles which need not be specified. In some instances the rapid growth of the preceding months resulted in a slight check in September, but in all these cases the figures of the nine months show a big advance in 1894. On the other hand, we have paid a good deal less for American wheat, fivur, bacon, hams, cheese, tallow and cotton, to mention only, those articles in which the contraction is most apparent. The fact that the Argentine Republic heads the United States in respect to maize is not without significance. Thus the trade balance between the States and this coun^ try is moving* rapidly against the former, and it would require a large and regular transference of securities from New York to London to redresss this tendency and restore the former position. And with India, Argentina and Australia keeping up and even improving their position as purveyors of wheat to this country, with Argentina sending more as the United States sends less tallow, it will not be easy for the Americans to regain their old footing in our market. Last month India and Argentina sent us more wheat than the United States, and Russia and Roumania together also topped the American figures. These are all factors that must be borne in mind in judging the outlook in the United States, and it is unfortunate that that they are so consistently overlooked in that country itself.

SUMMING it all up in a few words the result of the recent elections is about as follows:

Ohio—Republican by 95,000. Kentucky—Republican by 18,000. Pennsylvania—Republican by 170,C00.

New Jersey—Republican by 26,960. Maryland—Republican by 19,000. Iowa—Republican by 70,000. Kansas—Republican by 30,000. Nebraska—Republican by 25.000. Massachusetts—Republican by 63,444.

New York—Republican by 85,000. Utah—Republican by 2,000. Against these States is to be placed Mississippi with 30,000 on the other side, and then there is Tammany with 20,000.

REPORTS from all parts of the gas field show that the earthquake of last week has increased the natural gas pressure srom ten to sixty per cent in different parts of the gas belt. It had the effect to open up the pores so to speak.

WHY THE RESUIiT.

IF all those who voted against the Democratic ticket at the elections which occurred November 5th, were asked why they so voted, it is likely that a very large proportion of them would give no more specific answer than that they believed the leaders of the Democratic party incompetent to deal with the great affairs of the nation. And it would be a very satisfactory reason for their cause. In all periods of our history since that party came into existence, its statesmanship has led the country into troubles of the most serious kind. It is a fact with which every reader of our political history is well aware, that the great statesmen of this country have never taken up with the ideas and methods of the Democratic party. Its leaders have nearly always been me.n of inferior ability and notwithstanding the party has, at many times, and for long periods, had complete control of the government, no one can point to-day to any policy, measure or principal avowed and advocated by its leaders, that proved beneficial to the country. Disaster has always followed in the wake of our ship of State when a Democratic captain was at the helm. All the great troubles that have vexed the nation, retarded its prosperity, and threatened its existence were of Democratic origin. The results of last Tuesday's elections, and the elections of last year, are, therefore, nothing to marvel at. Many men who have been life-long Democrats have been convinced by the last few years' experience that the party is not the one to direct and control the affairs of the Nation successfully. The great national and individual prosperity that was to follow the election of Mr. Cleveland and a Democratic Congress in lS92,has not been seen by any mortal eye. On the contrary the National treasury is bankrupt, our business affairs are all not only deranged, but in chaOs and the elections of this year and last clearly demonstrate that the people are not looking to the leaders of the Democratic party to remove these troubles. They are looking again to the -Republican party to restore the tariff of protection and a full treasury—the tariff that brings abundant labor at good wages, and feeds all the hungry in the land. And it is now as certain as any future event can be that after the 4th of March, 1897, the Republican party will again assume control of the government, and that a new period of prosperity for the. Nation will then be inaugurated.

THE Rev. Mr. Hinshaw, sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife, has entered upon his term of service to the State in the Jeffersonville penitentiary. The men who committed the frightful crime are at large. It is to be hoped that they will be driven to early confession, or if not that, then that their crime will speedily find them out. Mr. Hinshaw is an innocent man.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

There area good many people who believe with the Sentinel that Mr. HmshaW is innocent of the awful crime of wife murder. The books are full of instances where persons have been convicted of crime upon much stronger circumstantial evidence than that which convicted Hinshaw but4 afterwards shown that they were clearly, innocent. It is the professional business of the average detective to construct a theory and make all the circumstances dovetail. A big reward is a strong incentive for some monumental lying.

CONCERNING the duty of the incoming Congress the New York Tribune says:

Republican statesmen agree that it is disgraceful for this rich and powerful Nation not to raise money enough to meet its expenses. They agree that it is shameless for such a Nation, in times of peace, to borrow money merely to meet current necessities, because its rulers have not the sense nor the patriotism to raise sufficient revenue. That question will have to be met at the very threshold of the next Congress. Veteran Senator Sherman says that Congress can only propose a remedy "along Republican lines." In the same direetion Warner Miller says that Congress will have to provide a better defense for American industries, while providing a larger revenue. It would be false to Republican principles if it did not endeavor without needless delay to apply those piinciples to the National emergency-

A CLEVELAND dispatch says: "The tin-plate manufacturers are talking of making a concerted move to get Congress to increase the tariff on imported plate. George A. Laughlin, of this city, president of the Irondale Steel & lion Company, of Middletown, Pa. says: 'There is no use talking, we have either got to get an increase in the tariff or the manufacturers will have to throw up the sponge. The reduction made by the Wilson bill and the recent advance in the raw materials have eaten up our profits. Foreign manufacturers, with their cheap labor, are underselling us] We will ask Congress to raise the tariff to 12£c. a pound. It is now 1 l-5c.'"

THE Populist party in Indiana is going to pieces. E. B. Cummings, Secretary of the State Committee, has tendered his resignation. It has not yet been accepted by Chairman Butts, but it will be. The other officers and members of the State Committee will, it is said, follow the example set by

Mayor Wing says: "I have used Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy in my family, with marked and decided benefit. "Especially has it been useful in insomnia, arising from indigestion and its attendant evils. I think well of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and freely grant permission to use this letter in advertising it."

the Secretary. The men who have been leading the party have information that the members of the Executive Committee of the National Committee have decided to resign. The party received its first blow three weeks ago, when the Farmers' Mutual Benefit Association of the State cut loose from it.

THE official returns from Pennsylvania show that the State gave a Republican plurality of 174,441.
