He proposes to have i .sus of all candidates printed on one ticket, the signs to be adopted starting at the top of each list and indicating to which party the candidates belonged. The voter could then, by one mark, indicate his intention to vote for all the candidates of his party. In other words, Mr. Cleveland advocates the Indiana election law We are con vinced that our law is the one that avoids ail objections and that secures absolutely honest elections, and we do not envy the party or the agency that seeks to throw obstacles in the way of that law. If ever the people of any State were in earnest in their intention tc put a stop to vete-buying and stealing it is the people of Indiana. They have made the beginning in one of the best laws, we feel sure trial will prove, that ha's been adopted. Where, if any place, trial shows that it can be improved it will be, it won’t be changed except to better it, and the enemies of honest elections, the trtends of the power of spoils and corruption to carry elections, might as well reckon this in their calculations Indianapolis News.

It is both edifying and amusing to see the tariff-fat-tened quarrelling among themselves. Thedron interest and the wool interest want the sugar tariff reduced and the sugar interest is fighting the two in a way “sweet” to see. And no long time ago a member of the great quinine mak ing firm of Powers & Weightman told the Philadelphia Drug Exchange: There is no argument whatever that you can bring to bear on quinine that does not apply to other commodities. I tell you I am either a protec tionist or a free trader. It is going to be a duty on quinine and on everything else, or we are going to have the British system if I can do anything toward it, that’s sure. That isit — some of the “stuff” or fight! There is an old proverb about how some people get their dues when some other fall out Yorily, it looks much as if that Donnybrook Fair condition—when tney all fall out and hit a head when They s. j e it —was coming’mong the tariff-fattened folk Su gar, wool, iron-each is after reducing the other fellow’s perquisites, while quinine, which is already out, and has become envious and tired, de clares that there has got to be a “divy.” or a fight If he can’t getsome of those rich pickings, which he once enjoyed under the famous or infamous, “blood-tax,” the other fellows shan’t have any. (xo it! anybody . everybody! More power to his arm; to everybody’s arm! When the bounty-fed classes to falling out about their privileges the masses will get a # chance of relief. —Indianapo lis News.
