President Cleveland’s plurality is 164,721. ■— - The trial of Ed. Chamberlain at Logansport, was brought to a sudden close by his hanging himself. Bro. Marshall, not having read the President’s message, gives his readers the comments of the Indianapolis Journal thereon. — 83,156,990 acres of the public domain has been restt red and opened to settlement by Mr. Cleveland’s administration. On another page of this “Sentinel” will be found a comprehensive synopsis of the President’s message. We bespeak for it a ealm, careful perusal. On Wednesday last Senator Harris, of Tennessee, threw a bomb mto the .Liepublie m ranks by moving to table the Senate tariff bill on the ground that it was wrongly named, being in fact a measure to increase taxation.— The motion was defeated by a strict party vote.

The importance of publishing a dissolution notice in any case of a change of firm is shown by a case recently decided at Erie, Pa. A note of $2,500 was given by a former member of the firm and the firm’s lame signed to it. It was discounte d at the baak, and the maker of the note appropriated the proceeds to his own use* Being unable to collect it when due, the bank sued the firm for the amount They showed his connection with the firqi had ceased when he made the note, and aa they had not pub* lished th* dissolution notice previow to that time, as required bv judgment was rendered against them. - The Republican s will revise the tariff on the lines of the Senate bill,” says Senator Allison, of lowa, in a recent interview at Indianapolis. As Senator .Allison is near the throne and is a prospective member of the Cabinet, we may take his assertion as authoritative. And as the Senate bill increases the tariff on cotton and woolen goods, and all othe ' necessaries of life, and is therefore in direct line with the policy of the trusts end corporations, we have ho doubt but that he speass from the card.

An exchange says: “The communism of capital,” as Grover Cleveland calls it, is a aentence that grates harshly on the ears of the monied men of the country. Gov. Alger is one of the first to raise his voice against it, and now Steve Elkins, the notorious 1 andgrabber, is positively shocked by the message of the president.— Mr. Cleveland toldfthe truth, and the truth no doubt is dangerous, as the money kings assert in this case. It is dangerous to the men who form trusts, who build up monopolies, who rob the people by e.ifianced, outrageous and unwarranted prices, who override the law of supply and demand, wha put at defiance all the statutes of the country. Yes, it is dangerous to speak in behalf of the people as against the men who build np the trusts and defend them as private affairs; but it is to be hoped that other men in exalted stations will have the courage to utter language equally dangerctn.’

Referring to President Cleveland's message, the Indianapolis News, Republican, says: President Cleveland’s last annual message is worthy to rank with the great document which he put forth a year ago. Though general, where that was particular, it is imbued with the same lofty tone, clear expression, sou id reasoning, and that ring of honesty and earnestness tnat is the last appeal of eloquence and the conclusion of argument. * * * * The restatement of the principle of tariff reform is in the last degree admirable, both in substance and in form. The President has laid bate the central truth of the system of tariff taxati n of all for the benefit of the few, and put. the inevitable and logical meaning and result of its constitution in these words, worthy of remembrance: “Communism is a hateful thing, and a menace to peace and organized government, but the communism of combined wealth and capital, the outgrowth of overweening cupidity and selfishness, which insidiously undermines the justice and integrity of free institutions, is not less dangerous than the communism of oppressed poverty and toil, which, exasperated by injustice and disconten , attacks with wil 1 disorder the citadel of rule.” With n) less certainty of aim do s t’.e President strike the fallacy that a disposal ot th. surplus is a remedy for over-taxation, or a shifting of the burden a relief from the load. He shows the costliness of buying bonds at a premium—what an absolute throwing away of money it is. He points out precisely that reduction of revenue may be such as in nowise to ease the exactions on the tax-payer. As avoiding all these things and justly compassing the righteous object of government is that reform of the tariff tax such as, with freer ra materials, will not only lighten the general load, but give added impulse to the general prosperity. This is still the great question in National affairs. President Cleveland has, in cur opinion, restated the true principle of its solution. The remainder of the message is devoted to a detailed review of the executive business of the Government As the heart of tie message—the reform of the revenue and disposal of the surplus—will hardly be dealt with by this Congress, these other matters ought to be: An overhauling of the consular business; the adjustment es the condition of the public lands; the amelioration of the condition of the Indians; the reform of the status of naturalization, and the reform es the pension laws and the general relations of that subject.

TAKE YOUR MEDICINE.

Labor Signal: Harrison was elected President on the 6th of November; on the 13th Caruth’s cotton mills, in Philadelphia, reduced the wages of employes 10 per cent. Kerr’s cotton mills in the same city on the same day started up with a reduction of 10 per cen<- on the wage scale. Leak’s Star mills, manufacturing Terry towelsjand cloth, on the same day cut wages 20 per cent. But the unkindest cut of all was Hall’s Safe and Lock Co., of Cincinnati. This company gave their men to understand that it would be unhealthy for them if they didn’t vote for Harrison. 1 large majority of them obediently done so. On the Saturday following the election the fillers were cut down 30 per cent., and the woodworkmen 15 percent. November 17, the Atlantic cotton mills cut their we *.v—ers 20 percent., and two of the largest currier firas in the United States made a cut of $2 per week. We can congrat date the workingmen who voted for Harrison and high taxes that they or their brotners and sisters are reaping the legitimate crop from the seed sown on Nov. 6. We congratulate the farmers of Indiana who voted for a high tariff and a home market that six thous and es their customers were put on a snowball diet in the coal mines in and around Pittsburgh last weak. Take your medicine, gentlemen; take your medicine. It is hard to swallow, but fools will only learn by experience.—Labor Signal. Geo. K. Hollingsworth accompanied Elmer Dwiggins to Mexico and will probably spend the winter there.

A Story for Workingmen.

CHAPTER I — BH-H-h! Tribune’s account of the Republican parade on Nov. 2: The carpet men filled in the time with crjes and songs. Every man who had not a cane and flag when he reached the street was immediately supplied from the big storehouse of Joseph Wild, at No. 11. Every man wore on his coat lai.el a miniature imitation of the bigban r er of the club, a piece of blue carpet with gold braid at the top. To the carpet was pinm d a piece of white silk, with the words, ’‘Carpet Trades, Harrison & Morton.” There was wild cheering all along Tnomas street when 400 carpet workers came marching into th street, a solid body of voters, and all from Higgiu’s carpet works, at the foot of West Forty-third street. At the head of this splendid turnout was Supe intendent Joseph Ferguson. CHAPTER II— boom!! ' New York Press, Nov. 9. Boom! boom! business boom! Listen to the rattle of the spindle and the loom!

CHAPTER III-AH-H-H!!!

New York Herald, Nov. 9. Notices were put up in Higgin’s carpet factory, West Forty-third street, last night, that the force is to be reduced one-half on Saturday, throwing about 600 people out of work. The factory ha been running with a two-third force since last June, and next week it will necessarily be run by one-third of its original force. The notice has caused a good deal of consternation among the hands, as it is not known yet who will have to face the winter without work.

LINCOLN’S PREDICTION.

President Lincoln, m answer to a letter from a friend in Illinois, used the following language: “Yes, we may all congratulate om selves that this cruel war is nearing a close. It has cost a vast amount of treasure and bleod. — The best blood of the flower of the American youth has been offered upon our country’s altar that the nation might live. It has been a trying hour for the republic; but I see in the near future a crisis arising that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of mv country. As a result of the war corporations have been enthroned, and an era of corruption in h gh places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavto prolong its reign by working on the prejudices es the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the country is destroyed. 1 feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever bes ore in the midst of war. God grant that my fears may prove groundless.”
