The Democratic sentinel.

Stand Bv Your Guns

in the midst of these conditions a studied attempt is made on the part of the opposition to create in the minds of the weak and timorous belief that the unfortunate situation of the past year was brought about by the return of the democracy to power and the legislation which it proposes to enact. Let no tho’tful citizen be deceived by such statements or be frightened through such assertions. Nothing could be further from the tiuth or less in accord with the facts. The Sherman silver bill was not of democratic origin, but found its birth with the opposition, its sanction in their caucuses, its enactments through their votes, and*its vitality through the approval of it by their executive. Only in the erasement from the statute books and its removal as a source of weakness to the financial interests of the country has any democrat had aught to do with it. So, too, the McKinley measure, yet the law of the land, the resultant effect of whose operation has been but to increase the ruin wrought by the Sherman law.

The late administration found a treasury full to overflowing; they left it almost barren. They found gold oomin? into the country; their aet sent it out.— They found business confidence complete; they left it shaken and uncertain. In fine, that administration, and not the present one, must stand sponsor for the record of disasters of the year closed. If, as the junior senator from Massachusetts stated in his speech of Tuesday, “There is darkness before, and danger’s voice behind,” it finds its source in the legislation which he prompted, and, which, because of hope for partisan advantage, he is unwilling to have speedily repealed. Democrats may well feel solicitous for the party’s future, and ask of the party’s leadership such consecratiOcjto its interests as will meet the emergency which confronts it. Never was it in greater need of harmony of action or unity of purpose. It is now within the power of the democracy to crystalize into law the great reform to which its leaders and its rank and file have given so much of time, so much of energv, so*much of thought If it but accomplish this reform, none need doubt the glory of its future. Its return to the full control of the government will then have been of substantial benefit to the American people, and upon its acts will be placed the stamp of popular approval. It cannot afford to hesitate or fail in accomplishing the desired end. If there be those who have Jost heart because of the reverses of the past months lei them remember that no great reform has ever yet been freed of strenuous opposition and willful misrepresentation; no f avoi ed cl asshas ever yielded the bounties and immunities granted without a strugle, and none ever will. Seeming darkness may crowd upon us and the cause we represent, but so long as the democracy shall have the wisdom, the courage, and the honesty “to a k for nothing which is not cleaily right, and yield to nothing which is wrong," it cannot forfeit the confidence of the American people,—Comptroller Eckels at Boston, April 12.

DEMOCRATIC EDITORS.

Executive Committee of the Editorial Association in Session, The executive committee of the Indiana democratic editorial as ociation met Friday fternoon of last week at the >fficeof State Auditor Henderson, at Indianapolis. There were present as members of the committee: A. 8. Chapman of the Madison Herald, Louis Holtman, of the Brazil Democrat, J. M Keeney of the Crawfordsville Star and B. A. Eaton of this city. There wer also present. Mr. O. A. Welman of the Sullivan Democrat, F. D. Haimbaoh of the Muncie Herald and J. O. Henderson of the Kokomo Dispatch. A program was arranged for the summer meeting of the association, which is to be held at West Baden on the Bth and 9th of June The main feature of the program will consist of five short addresses on practical newspaper subjects and the discussion theieof. J. O. Henderson was appointed a committee to arrange for railroad and hotel accommodations, etc. After considerable discussion the following! resolution was adopted by a vote of 3 to 1:

“Whereas, The democratic party, thro’ its representatives in the congress of th? United States, is now engaged in a struggle to empneipate the people from the infamous system of tariff taxation and favoritism, of which the McKinley law, now in force, is the culmination, be it “Resolved, That we, the executive committee of the democratic editorial assocition of Indiana, have watched with pleas: ure and approval the course of both the senators and all the democratic members of congress from our state, in their heroic efforts to redeem the pledges of the democratic party on the subjeet of tariff reform, and we hereby pledgelthem our loyal support in the contest now being waged in the interest of th laboring and producing masses of tbe people, under the leadership of our honored senat rs, D. W. Voorhees and David Turpie.” The gentlemen presentali reported the democracy in their re? peotive localities active and becoming more and more aggressive and united everyday. The ft el. ing was thatlbefore the campaign is fairly on the party throughout the state will be in good fighting condition with an excellent chance for success at the November election-

HAMMOND ISOUTOFIT.

A special to the Indianapolis News, Washington, D. C., April 14, says: Representative Hammond has written to M. M. Hathaway, member of the State committee from the I Tenth district of Indiana, saying that he will not be a candidate for renomination to Congress.— This need not be surprising to the readeis of The Indiauapolis News, who were app.ised in these dispatches of Mr. Hammond’s intentions several weeks ago, but it is rather inconsistent with his prompt denial at that time of the truth of’the dispatches. Mr. Hammond is wise in this action.— Hundreds of those who voted for him before had resolved if he should be the congressional candidate to turn him down. Thoy are opposed to his accepting and acting in accordance with the advice of assumed leaders, and in opposition to the clearly expressed wishes of the people who are directly interested. Tolharmonize the situation and enable the democracy to enter the congressional contest united, this action of Mr. Hammond will h ve the desired effect. LATER. Delphi Times, April 20th. Speaking of Mr. Hammond he has set all doubts as to his candidacy for renemination and re-election 1 at rest by addressing a few letters over the district

asking for the support of his friends.— Mr. Hammond will have no opposition. His record is in accord with democratic ideas and pleasing to his constituents. If Mr. Hau mond will be a candidate for renomination he should not give out to the Indianapolis News Washington correspondent that he has notified congressional chairman Hathaway that he will not be a candidate, and at the same time “addressing a few letters over the district asking for the support of his friends,’’ as stated by the Delphi Times. It don’t look equate.

APERY IN POLITICS.

The Chicago Herald. Results of local elections in various parts of the country recently confirm what was plain enough in the contests of last year, that an alliance, offensive and defensive as been entered into between the republican party and the A.P.A.— the know-nothing—party of the time. It may reasonably be expected that this alliance will continue for tbe present, and that it will exhaust its resources in an effort to carry state and congressional elections next fall.

While the more ruffianly of the A. P. A. leaders exploit their vicious propaganda openly, inciting to violence and exasperating intended objects of their malice for the purpose of making them break the laws, the more dastardly work of the organization is done in secret, where collusion with republican leaders may be prudently effected. It is not yet in the ann ale of this un-American and nefarious body that the democracy in any part of the United States has accepted favor from it or consented to have anything to do with it except to protest against its motives and resist its progress. It is a treasonable organization. It deliberately aims at infraction of the constitution of the United States. While that instrument separates church and state, > nd places all creeds on an equality of rights and responsibilities the A. P. A. society plus the republican party seeks to unite the state with one form of religious bel es and to exclude from a portion of their political rights a part of the citizenship of the country on creed account. The republican party has entered into an unholy alliance with this treasonable body. It is perfectly willing to trample upon the constitutionlwherever and whenever by doing so it can get one more office. Proscriptive of all traditions but its own. narrow and biggoted at heart, it plays ape to the A. P. A. and imitates ts conduct with only the modification of cowardice and greater secrecy. I "J need not be alarmed by this epoch of ap ry in American politics.— They may lose a little here and there while the corrupt combination lasts. It is bound in time to perish. Its life must be brief. Its principle is too abhorrent to the deep sense of justice and fair play implanted in the real American mind. Its organizers are men of scant intelligence, slight reading, contracted sight and debased hearts. The republican politicians who are abetting them would form an alliance With Satan or Judas if by doing so they could make even slight and temporary gain. Their profligacy will bring its own reWard. This combination of brutishness and political greed will in due tUne revolt intelligent and law-respecting Americans who nave been in the habit of vot ing With the republican party. That tainted organization will lose far more from among this class of voters ultimately than it is now gaining from the set it is consorting with. Men of many creeds laid the foundations of our government. Men of manv creeds cemented its foundations with their blood. Men of many creeds have stood side by side again and again in its defense. Every battlefield of the nation contains the ashes of patriots belong! g to almost every known form of religious preference. Without their common sacrifice, without their cordial and unfalter ing brotherhood, we would not exist as a republic to-day. To seek io rob any portion of our people of their political rights on creed account is' ungrateful, is brutish, is treasonable. Let the republicans beware of the alliance they have made. They will yet be hoist with their own oatapult. y Already some of their organs realize the danger in the distance. If republican papers had not voiced this brutish organization and by cunning flattery helped it into growth, it would not be a factor in American politics. They kuew that the apery it engendered would naturally tend to help them, especially jin local contests. With its aid they have won in some places where on high political brlnciples they bad honestly lost in Wisconsin for example . But they foresee already that as rapidly as the I igots get the upper hand they will use their . ower to proscribe others as they are now proscribing one creed. They will turn igom religious proscription to race proscription. They will become nativistio and puritan. Then the partnership must break. The Germans, whom the republican party and the Apes have for an hour lured nto their despicable company, will revolt the moment their peculiar tastes are threatened. It is a crowning disgrace to the Germans wherever they have followed this brutal leadership that they should abandon the only national party on which they have safely relied in the past for their personal rights. It is a shame to them that, having suffered at times themselves from; proscription, they should become proscribers of their fellow citizens of any creed or race. They will bitterly repent their treachery and lolly. They will be whippe t with tbe scourge they are helping turnon other naturalized citizens. They will deserve the whip. Political apery will not last long.

The Delphi Times, booming Mr. Hammond for renomination, says: ‘His record is in accord with Demo cratic ideas and pleasing to his oonstitu ents.” We believe no Democrat is finding fault with Mr. Hammond’s record in the House, but we also believe that thelargest pro portion of his constituents are bitterly opposed to his making recommendations at the dictation of a coterie of self as Burned leaders inside and outside the dis triot. His actions in this regard, louder than words, has sad, “the public be d—d!“ and, while we always abide the action of our conventions, we cannot ignore the declarations of scores of Democratic vot ers, more numerous than the few so called leaders, that they will resent Mr. Ham inond’s insult to them. It will be wise in the De mooratio Congressional Conven tion foi this district to heed the disoon tent extant and not invite defeat. A lawyer said to a witness: “You’re a nice fellow, ain’t yon?" Witness replied: “I am, sir, and if I was not on my oath I’d say tho same of you.’—Oakland Enquirer.

IROQUOIS DITCH.

Mr. Editor: —Those owning land tributary to the Iroquois above the foot of the rapids are summoned for April 30th, 1894. It is incumbent on each land boluei to give the matter the b?st thought he can. The viewers' res port is on fi e and the Board of Commissioners meet to ine1, Whether due notice has been given. 2. To ascertain whether the up portioument is fair a id just Any persoi who receives notice may file exceptions to tne apportionment of benefits or damages by seating frrth his grievances in writing and filing a bond con ditional to pay costs if the exceptions are overruled. This right is common, the petitioners and others stand exactly on an equality in this regard. The statute authorizes benefits to be assessed for proposed direct drainage and the vaiue of a more convenient outlet. This outlet has been adj udged suf ficient and this judgment is our protection. -

The route of the drains was des termined before the viewers commenced the investigations neces» sary to make the report now up ior hearing. As I understand tlx.-i report the viewers anportioned to each one whose land is traversed by the ditch a portion for construction on such laud. That portion of the work below the mouth of Lateral 26 is estimated separately. 1 would like to see this improvement made on a just and a fair basis. The ditches should have such a grade of bottom, slope of sides, smoothness of water perimeter, depth and capacity as will make it permanent and effective. They should be made at the least possible expense and hat expense as fairly adjusted as is practicable. This wirk can only be done bv a public proceeding. Ditching under nublic law naturally awakens in our minds theories of justice that will tax the other fellow and leave us out. Who among us but would be willing to deal with benefits so that to him that hath shall be given 9 Some of jus owning lands in the regions remote from the common outlet have almost persuaded ourselves that wc have a right to spill our surplus waters upon a Irwer surface and that such rights “none dare to dispute Courts and legislatures living in the hill countries where every rill, rivulet, stream, brook an-1 river ruus like i torr-.nt,, make laws ta the effect that water has a right to run.

This rale where the current is swift ma’ work little hardship, for the additional capacity will c -rue by attrition. A swamp lying as oars do can not be redeemed on the line of sack a water maxim. Confiscation would not excavate the capacity needed in the. lower part of an artificial channel in a level country. The courts and legislatures of this country lay down a ru’.e which we all ought to try to understand and apply each fairly to his own environment before .warming up to fightmgjheat and getting involved in a law suit. I quote the exact language of our supreme coart in Lipes vs. Hand 104 Ind.; 503-507: ‘-Whatever gives more value to the parcel of land is a special benefit * .** * * Suppose * * • * the person assessed, owns a tract of land situated on a knoll and well drained in every part, but that on all sides of it are * * • * ponds rendering access difficult and isolating from highways. The drainage of the ponds would benefit the land owner although it might not carry any water at all from his lat d, and such benefit would be a special one. W here a land owner obtains an outlet for the lateral ditches constructed for the drainage of his lands * * * he receives a special benefit. There may be a benefit to a.tract of land altho’ its drainage facilities may not be increased.”

Under the existing condition of affairs we can lead our ditches into worthless lower swamps and ponds without appreciable benefit The mam channel below lateral 26 is estimated to cost $50,000, and the view rs think |my lands situated above should pay SI,OOO of this fiity, and he only question is whether my special benefits are too high. Th 3 word benefits mean increase of market value. The same influence as to drainage or the light of outlet per acre varies according to the market value of

the land before and after. The quality, its nearness to market, are matters to be considered. Tht lands near 'he channel, draining directly, should pay dollars while those more remote pay cents Those lands which are rich and fat and capable of becoming worth $75 dollars per acre oho’d pay five Vines as much asthoe? ’n like situation which can not be made to be worth more than fifteen dollars

per acre. A greater fall in any latter 1 carries more silt into the new channel, and ‘he lands tnbu> tary to the lateral, whether made or to be made, should contribute to keep the main channel open and in good repair. These benefits, like boils, are more agreeable on some one else. While 4 he owners of the marshes upon which the surplus water from my lands is now discharged are in the notion of draining, and admit a benefit of ten dollars per acre, I concede that I should pay something as my share toward the one common ob - ject. The viewers an 1 the Bo %rd are tnbu ials under the law to investigate and report, and it seems to me we ought to confine our attention to the land, its relation to the improvement, its present va’ue, what it would be worth if the improvement was completed, and that difference is the measure of each one’s just contribution. It may not be practicable to do exact justice, but I, for the present as in the past, will stand firm for the improvement of my home, my town, my to vnship and county, and for a fair adjustment of the expenses there f, looking to all the elements of benefit touching an increase of market value. Would it not be better to coolly talk this whole matter over between ourselves in a spirit of fairness and try our best to cheapen the work by having it let at the lowest possible price. In case of grossjinjustice let one more fortunate assume a part of the less fortunate, and he’p the Board to make a just decision as cheaply and quickly as practicable. Simon P. Thompson.

Mr. Editor: The comments of the Republican of last week seem to call ior a few farther remarks on land and water rights. The question of whether the lower land is bound to receive water from the uppei, has vexed neighbors, lawyers, and courts ever since the dawn of civilization. The Supreme Court of this State have tried to define and adjust these rights. If the hi her land hath an out let by a well defined natural water course with a sufficient channel and banks to protect the lower from overflow, or the upper hath procured the right to keep a chan-> nel op m by purchase, by ditch proceedings, or by long usage on a claim of right, then the lower must take the water. See Reed vs Cheney lii Ind. 387. The upper owner can not gather the water from iris land into ditches and discharge it upon lands without aeons tract or a dit< h proceeding. See Weddell et>d vs Hapner 124 i_nd. 315.

A ditch improvement settles the vexed question. Is it not better to ditch than to law? An / man may, iu the absence of a right secured by purchase or gift, erect on his own land such barriers as he pleases to ward off the surface water and floods. The object and purj ose of making a public ditch is to settle cheaply the rights of land owners touching drainage and a direct outlet. Above the rapids it is questionble whether the Iroquois hath had a l«gal channel. Above Alter’s mill it is an artificial ditch. Above the Groom’s bridge there was no chan - nel before the mill dam was removed. The law of 1891 required the court to find a sufficient outlet. The judgment of the court will protect land owners. The payment of any sum however small fixes one’s rights to use the ditches constructed from the nearest available poi nt to the outlet. The costs of locatibn have been incurred; the ditches described; the whole cost ba? been estimated; the land owners havi b?en notified, and they have a right to be heaid and be bound by the court’s decision. It seems to methatnowistbeacoei ted time to order the work done. Each should pay prorata for the {irobable effect on the value of his and. The county commissioners

have decreed that the improvement ought to be made. I believe that > each mrmber of that court desires ■ that justice be metrd to each of us. I The levels show that my land in tojvnship 30, rapge 7 west is on a much higher plain thanltbe Loughridge marsh in township 29,(range 6.

and Piukamink will be greatly msreaeed in value. The cheap, thin sandy lands can not bear the assessment as well. Put yourself in the other fellow’s place and do as you would have him do. The stoppage of this improves ment will sound a retreat in our march toward a better condition. I am not in favor of taking the backward step. It is as easy to lessen or cheapen the excavat ; on now as at any time in the future. Under the statute we can have twenty-two years to pay our share of the net cost. 1 wish we could all proceed in mu* tual peace and harmony to “a consummation so devoutly to be wished.” Simon P.
