Our neighbor of the Republican seeks to establish the truth of his statement concerning the appointment of a successor to Dr. Harrison of the Insane Hospital, by giving the opinion of the Indianapolis News on that act. The honest reader will pref rto accept the controlling reasons as expressed by Gov. Gr y himself, and publish 'd in our Sectinel last week.

Our neighbor has fallen deeply in love with John Sherman’s tariff reduction theory, to-wit: Reduce the tax on sugar to the extent of about 52 millions yearly, and give the sugar producers $lO,000,000 yearly out of the national treasury as a bounty. And how about our other infant industries. Does Mr. Sherman propes- to reduce the tariff and establish tke bounty theory in the cases of all? The “wisest and most statesman-like plan will never make John Sherman President. The Rensselaer epublican is exasperated over the indictment of the high-toned Carnahan, chairman of the Marion county Republican Committee, by the Renublican grand jury of the Federal Court. It says: “There is not only absolutely nothing criminal in the circular, but nothing, even censurable.in it. Th* indictment ot General Carnahan was an outrage and his trial will be a farce.” The indicted democrats are held on charges similar to those against the lamertea Carnahan, and not for forging tally-sheets. The proof will have to be forthcoming in the cases of the Democrats, while Carnahan’s tell-tale circular is in possession of the t ourt. At present Sim ( oy is happy, and jocosely remarks thst he and General Carnahan are paired. Not so cith Carnahan and his sympathizers—there seems to be no t cur ds t > their inc ignation. The Rensselaer Sentinel says that Stanton was a coward and a tyrant. That’s the way Voorhees used to talk about Lincoln, who was Stanton’s chief. The Sentinel is resurrecting the copperhead sentiment of t•>enty-five years ago. Monticello Herald. And, Billy, here is a sentiment expressed by Stanton about the time you ref -r to. He declared President Lincoln to I e the — “Original Gorilla. Du Chaillu was a fool to wander all the way to Africa in search of what he co’d so easily have found at Springfield, Illinois.” Billy, how do you like the above coarse, insulting sentiment of Stanton, the suboidinate, towaid Pr sident Lincoln, his chief? This was the same Stanton whose inhuman conduct and references to the brave “boys in blue” suffering in southern prison pens, drew from the Republican Governor of Penns.lvania (Curtin) his most bitter execrations accompanied with the request that he “resign as Secretary of war, and go to hell where ; ou ought to have gone thirty years ago.” There is plenty of correct record now coming to light in the publication of the papers of the cabinet and other officials of MrLincoln’s administration which go to substantially prove that the President and the people were misled and deceived by these men in their efforts to brush aside the e ecnfive and est bl r sh themrelves i. power. The papers left by Sec-

retary of the Treasury Chase, Secretary of the Navy Welles, Postmaster General Blair, and others, confirm many of the surmises and charges of the Democratic press, dur ng the war, and are anything but complimentary to theiability the wisdom, the patriotism, the humanity and th v loyalty of E. M. Stanton.

It is now reported that the drive well case recently decided by the Supreme Court, authorizing the collection of a roy; ity on all drivewells put in previous to 1885, was not a test case, but a “straw” case, and that the case on trial th at was expected to settle the question, has not yet been decided. Hence it may be well for those receiving the circular letters demanding the immed : ate payment of the $lO royal y to investigate a little before paying the amount demanded. — Michigan City Dispatch.

For several weeks past the Sentinel has been reiterating the charges against Secretary o< State Griffin of willfully violating the saw in omitting to publish an abstract of the Treasurer’s report in connection with the acts of the Legislature. The conclusive answer to the charge was that no report of the State Treasurer was submitted to the General Assembly as required by law. —Indianapolis Journal It is not a conclusive answer. — The Secretary of State has nothing whatever to do with the State Treasurer’s report so far as the publication of the acts are concerned. The financial statement required by the Constitution is to be obtained from the State Auditor’s report. Will the Secretary of State and the Journal never learn that the Auditor is the State’s book keeper. —Indianapolis Sentinel.

T e Goshen News stops its press to announce the following stubborn fact: “It is extremely difficult for newspapers to build up a town when th* 4 town does nothing to build up the newspapers. Every boast made by a newspaper that business is booming when it hasn’t the advertisements to back up the assertion is a dead give away.” S I QB I 6 Indianapolis Sentinel: “If the Carnahan secret circular to Republican election officials was such a harmless piece of paper as the Journal endeavors to prove why was it that one of those officials, in his frantic efforts to carry out the instructions of his chief, was forced to hide the tally-sheet upon his person, jump from the window of the polling place and run like a quart, r horse to elude the Democrats on the watch for Republican rascalities.” “Democracy and ignorance always go hand in hand.”—John Shermax.. Shades of ’Lize Pinkston and other prominent Black Republicans! “Advertise by the year,” said an old experienced business man. — “It is cheaper a) d yields a better return in proportion to the money invested. An advertisement sho’d always be b fore the public. If it disappears it is som forgotten.Those who remain before the public have the advantage and superiority in the way of competition. There is only one excuse for the discontinuance of an advertisement, and that is retirement from busin es -. John Sherman has one set of opinions for th north and another for south.
