Our neighbor is terribly worked up over t e Buine scandal. But, then, how l e did chuckle ov r “A Terrible Tale" on Cleveland l It makes a sight of difference whose ox is gored. — «<4» » Cleveland defended the Fenian raiders in 1866. Blaine let McSweeuy languish in jail in 1881. Irishmen are aware of both circumstiuices, and will discriminate between them at the ballot box. Blaine directed his libel suit to be brought in the United Sta'es Court where it couid not possibly be reached before the v ovetuber election. — This action on bis part explains tha*' he is more anxious to make his election sure than to secure a'“vindication.” Calkins don’t dispute iris letter to the poor widow, Mrs D’-nenn, asking a contribution of twelve dollars from her to aid In securing his election to Congress. Had she forked over the amount demanded ib« reasons assigned by Calkins for her removal Would ntver have been heard of The statement of the LaPorte Argus concerning Calkins’ school fund speculation shows that repeated es forts to sell the mortgaged lands have failed, and the substance of the LaPorte HeraldsChroniole ivply is hat the gallant Majah smilingly insists that continued efforts be made to secure a sale while be jingles the school money In his pocket. The Republican dubs Bluiue’s libel uit against the Indianapolis Sentinel Bruising A Serpent’s Head.” On lading toe Scnti r el however, one lied to believe that Blaine’s head is RUgbt in & fly-wheel, and when gain brought r to face the realities he will be ready to down on his knees as lio did on another occasion in the presence of his friend Mulligan.

Cleveland says—“ Tell the truth .* Blaine says—“ Sue the Sentinel in -the United States Court.” The Republican terms Blaine’s ae» tion—“Bruising A Serpent’s Head.* There can be no difficulty in dis* corning the manhood of Cleveland; the demagoguery of Blaine, aud the “damphoolisin” of Gentle George. And now comes that old tadical po litical trickster. Johunie Davenport and says that after four years unremitting search and toil he has Hacked to his lair the author of the “Morey Lett r.” Johnnie is a celebrated concocter of campaign lies- The masses of the people, notwithstanding the denials, are fully satisfied in their own minds that Garfield wrote that letter, and that Davenport is an unmitigated liar and a fraud. ■ - ■ m • ■ wmOne of the funniest things in our rent politics is the spectacle of Ben. B ler Dosing as tbe candidate or the anti-monopolists and working• men. At the Chicago Conve. tionßenjamin was the only delegate who appeared in the full evening dress commonly worn by wonting swallow tailed coat and kid gloves. As an anti-monopolist Butler is a daisy. He owns the culy bunting mill in the United States, and has a complete monopoly of the American flag Of course his voice is for “the old flag and an appropriation-”

The corporation or business man who would permit his clerks and business manager to have absolute control of his affairs for tw»*nty»-flve years without overhauling the books, wo’d be unanimously voted an idiot. The United States Government is tbe greatest corpoiation On this continent, doing business for more than fifty millions of people. The Republican party has had undisputed control of the ontire business for twentyfour years. The time has come for an accounting. Let us have the books opened and a balance sheet made out. It is impossible that nmong the army of office-uolders there has not been a vast amount of rascality. It is equally unlinely that the truth will ever be known till the opposition come into power. The hour and the man have come Let us opea the books. Is a lie more potent than the truth? It would seem so. For instance. th°re is the alleged Reverend of Buffalo. He had been preaching the supposed truth nobody knows how many years, and had never beer heard of outside of his congregation. All at once he era Darks in the wholesale lie business, and immediately spiings into a notoriety as extensive as it is infamous. Ball wears the belt 8S the champion liar of the United States, having knocked out all competitors on the first round. But he has a very able and muscular set of imitators among Republican editors. If they don’t “get thore” it is from lack of ability, not lack of inclination.

The polltica’ preacher is the most bigoted, nartow-mlnded and pestiferous of politicians, Bu» when it comes to constructing a four story political Jie with wansard roof and completely furnished throughout fhey can give the professional politician points in the game and beat him every time. The radicals certainly show a dramatic ph use In their efforts and olans to manufacture sympathy for James Guano Blaine- When the “Terrible Tale” against Mr. Cleveland was con cocted and set afloat, i* began to be discussed that a “Terrible Tale; and O'er True.” could be rep roc!uce d that would overwhelm the radical bantiiDg and come back like a boomerang upon the half-breed loaders . It was then no doubt determined by the worshipper of Mulligan and his 'ools that in the event of the scandal be ing reproduced and circulated they would endeavor to obtain an injuncs . tion against such proceedings by entering suits for libel—in other words, they would seek to muzzle the press This course has been pursued, and close upon its heels comes the announcement that some vandal has defaced the torab-atone of his little boy by erusing the dates thereon.— No opponent of Blaine would do such a thing. It wo Id but advance the ns: ira ions of the “sun-struck’ statesman!. Who more likely ro perpetrate such an outrage than the tools of your Davenports? The campaign of detraction and slander inaugurated by the Republicans immediately upon the nomination of Cleveland has reacted upon their own candidate. The villianous falsehoods concerning Gov, Cleveland’s private life have been matched by equally viie and probably true as sertions in relation to Blaine’s conduct in his earlier years. Men and

women who sboald be ashamed to soil tbeir Ups with the detestable stuff roll the lecherous Mesas a sweet mor* sel under their tongues, and compound with tbeir consciences by tbe reflection that tb<* slandered candidate belongs to the opposite party I People win want to be considered leaders in politics and society roll up tbeir sleeves and ftmgihi? filth about witb a vim and vigor which would be amusing were it not disgusting, ard from their ardor one would suppose that the truth or falsity of these nasty stories were the only question involved in the pre. ecs campaign All this is utterly detectable and infinitely degrading. It is merely the old trick of the Rt publican cuitie £Ub. They seek to blm-ken the waters, hoping that in the confusion attention may be diveneJ from the record of themselves and their candidate, and they may again get uway with the boodle.” Prof. G, P. Brown., president of the State Normal School, at Terre Haute Prof. H' P. Brown, president and founder of the Yalpar iso Normal school, Prof. E. E. Smith, Professor of English in Purdue University, at Lafayette, Prof. W. A. Bell, editor Of the Indiana State Journal of Education, and Prof. J. W. Holcomb, State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion, have ali visited the institute or will before its close. The Chigago and Atlantic have served an injunction on the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago against tneir crossing the “Y” and side truck. This will probably delay them a month or more,—Hammond Tribune.
