FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1869.

THE wicked Dingley tariff is working havoc. In the fiscal year just cloaed all the countries of the world, with the exception of four which reduced their imports of brer-dstuifs, largely increased their purchases in the United States. The sales of manufactured articles to all parts of the world has been beyorsd all precedent. Democratic leaders h».\ gotten beyond trying to "explain."

ASSISTANT SKCKETARY VASDKRI.TVP, of the treasury, thinks that the Dewey homo fund, which now amounts to about SI5,000, contributed by more than 25,000 persons, will be swelled to at least §100,000 by the time the admiral reaches the United States. He thinks tiiero ure quite a number of persons who will soon make large contributions. Treasurer Roberts and other members of the committee ate eqaally confident.

THE country has the utmost confidence in Governor Roosevelt and when he endorses in terms of unqualified approval the selection of Elihu Root as secretary of war the peoplo may rest assured that the President baa made no mistake in choosing Alger's successor. Roosevelt says: "Like every man who wishes success to the administration and to the American people and the great work now before it, I am overjoyed at the appointment of Mr. Root. He is disinterested, of singularly keen intelligence, absolutely conscientious, incapable of. a mean or ungenerous act, possessing great tact and judgment and entire fearlessness in standing up for the right. We can guarantee that under him no shadow of wrongdoing will be allowed to exist. He haB always sacrificed his time and means to his sense of public duty, wholly without thought of reward."

Tnutrv dollars for a piano, five dollars for a billiard table, twenty-five dollars for four watches and clocks, ninety dollars for three horsee and three carriages, five dollars for a sewing machine, and household goods to the total amount of $250, are the values placed upon his personal belongings by Mr. Wm. J. Bryan in answer to the tax assessor of Lincoln, Neb. A casual examination of these figures creates the pleasing impression among his admirers that Mr. Bryan is really one of the people and lives most modestly. A little closer scrutiny, however, discloses the unpleasant fact that Mr. Bryan has either driven exceedingly hard bargains in the acquisition fit all the necessities and Bome of the luxuries of life and has used dollars of exceedingly great purchasing power, or else he has, like 'ordinary mortals, simply been telling the tax assessor a good sized fairy tale, toiavoid contributing too much to the support of the state.

INDIANAPOLIS News: The Orawfordsville JOUKNATJ notes with approval the resolutions adopted by the state bar association against political assessments of candidates for judicial positions. The next step, says Tins JOURNAL, should be to limit to a reasonable sum the political expenses of all candidates. What is much needed in Indiana is an act concerning the purity of elections which shall make every candidate furnish a sworn statement of every expenditure for every purposo in hi6 campaign. Our campaigns, as conducted, are now to a certain extent in the nature of blackmailing schemes. We made progress by adopting the Australian ballot system, and we shall make further progress by using the voting machine. But slill the assessment cf candidates-for campaign purposes goes on. There is no secret about it. Parties do not nominate men that won't pay.i Large sums are given in a campaign that are not spent for advertising, for the hiring of halls, for railroad fares, for the paying of speakers, mu6ic, office work and things that may be called legitimate: but for political strikers and heelers: men who "hang on" from one campaign to another, and whose "influence" is bought by a few dollars or a lew hundred.men: to whom money is given, it is understood, for the control of the vote of some gang, some certain coterie, some crowd of loafers. It is impossible to trace these sums, just as it may be impossible to trace the viruB of a disease. But the fttct in both cases is manifest. The way to get at it is by a bill, compelling a sworn

statement by every candidate, political committee or manager of every cent of money expended by him for political purposes. Where there is a will there is & way, and we ought to be in earnest to purify our elections.

A NEW ISSUE.

During the last four or five national campaigns, excepting that of 189G, the Democratic pferty took free trade as its issue. They carried their point in 1890 and 1892 and a general panic followed. In 1894, on account of this great national calamity, they were swept from power almost unanimously. Knowing they could not regain their hold upon this fallen issue, in 1896 a new one was presented—free silver at the coinage ratio of sixteen to one. Again they met defeat, aB all parties have that advocated cheap money, and repudiation of honest dobts. Even the heretofore staunchost advocates of this cheap money theory are now afraid of it and at the national Democratic powwow held at Circago last week presided over by W. J. Bryan, John P. Altgeld and "Pitchfork" Tillman, a new issue was sprung. In the langu^ro of Ailgeld, the anarchist, "the declaration of independence is being sneered at." They expect to go before the people in 3900 upon the issue that the present administration is attempting to repeal that sacred instrument. They are most, certainly hard up for an issue wbea they resolve against the prosecution of a war of their own making. It is fre6h in the memory of all that McKinley was opposed to the war at the time it was brought about. Democrats, both in senate and houre of representative, high in their party, worked day and night to avenge the sinking of the Maine. The ad minis-' tration was finally compelled to declare war, and since it has bsen so grandly fought and won will any reasonable Democrat say we should be met with the false issue of attempting to repeal tho declaration of independenca.

THE Democratic assembly at Chicago Thursday wiggled through at last without any knock-downs and dragoute. The regular Democracy, headed by Mayor Harrison, wrote letters refusing to address the meeting, giving as reasons that the particular brand of Democracy represented there was not their sort. Nothing, however, could prevent the vociferous Brjan from Bpeaking his piece. He had traveled many miles i.a order to say it and a ..uttle itiing like offending three or four hundred thousand regular Democrats by carrying out the desires of Altgeld, the anarchist, would not

slay

him.

He had to say his piece or burt,t. At intervals he would preface his fin-lher remarks by "My' friends," to distinguish his audience from the crowd who refused to attend. Having been so short a time since he left the Populist party and joined the Democracy he is not yet quite conversant with the' late history of the latter, or else he would not have referred to the following, viz: "My friends, when toe declaration of independence is repealed there will nevermore be a Democratic party in this country or a need of one." This was a fling at the Republican party and the administration's attitude in the Spanish-American war, but it served a more appropriate purpose in refreshing the memories of all of us in regard to the time the Democratic party sought to repeal that same instrument, and solemnly declared that "all men" did not include the negro. The only attempt that was ever made to repeal the declaration of independence was made by Mr. Bryan's own party, and their utter failure and demoralization over the attempt has tempted him to try to get the present administration into the same hole. But he will fail, as his party did. Mr. Bryan's party in congress voted to a man to bring about the present war and even fought to bring it to a fighting head, against the wishes of the President. Now that it has come and Bryan's partjtis sorelv in need ot an issue, they will not be allowed to distort a war of their own making into capital to fight those who patriotically assisted them in bringing it about,

Indianapolis Ncxvs: Governor Mount occupied once more the big chair in his ofiice to-day, and he found the heavy upholstering of red leather worn smoother than it waB a week ago. In the course of the Epworth League convention there were hundreds of visitors in the executive department at the state house. Governor Mount was out of his private office much of the time on account of the meetings of the state tax commission and the callers "had the run of the office, being free to walk through it and on to the parlors.

Supervisors For Cuba, Porto Kico and Hawaii Soon to He N'amed. Washington, July 20.-—Tho supervisors who are to have charge of taking the census in Cuba, Porto Rico and Hawaii will be named soon. Seven districts are to be organized in Cuba, and the president, it. is understood, already has selected the men who will have charge of them. The work in Porto Rico will not be so difficult nor require so large a force as in Cuba. The utilizing of soldiers as enumerators is among the possibilities in Porto Rico and Cuba, while in all three groups interpreters will bo essential. The forms and instructions doubtless will be issued from Washington, where in turn the returns probably will be sent ou account of the superior facilities for counting.

Instructions to supervisors will go out next week, and all of them will be appointed aud at work before December, while the appointments of the thousands of enumerators will bo well in hand by midwinter.
