HONOR TO WHOM HONOI IS DUE. The People, an Indianapolis paper owned by the "Streight bureau,"under date of April 10th, says: "Do not fail to read Major John A. Simwnon's Recollections of Libbv Prison, published on the seeond page of to day's People. It was taken from the Madison Star, and will be found intensely intering. It shows us what kind of a man Gen. Streight Is under trying circumstances, that he i« one fitted to command, and equal to any and all emergencies. The eitizensof Indiana would 1M? recreant in their duty did they not delight to honor a man like Gen. Streight, who took his life in hi* hands in defense of his country, and proved himself a hero not only In the battle's front but in the gloomy baatile of Libby. Major Simpson, who shared bin captivity, nays that Gen. Streiglit's WHS the master mind in plans for escape, and that great men and great soldiers always looked to Streight to direct them."

One of the meanest things of which a man can be guilty of is to try to steal the honors belonging to another man. The gentleman who planned the escape from Libby Prison was not Gen. Streight but Col. Hoe. And now for Gen. Streight to try to palm olT other men's heroism for bin own on the people of Indiana by such demagoguery is disgraceful. Col. Streight may think the people of IndiAna can be 'gulled by bis "Bureau system "but his "Bureaus" are, happily, not the history of this country, and truth, like murder, will out. We know not whether Col. Hoe has ever received any of Col. Streiglit's circulars, portraying in the most graphic colors Col. Streiglit's inventive genius in planning the escape from that most terrible of all Southern prisons during the war, "Old Libby." But what we do know is, that the "Streight Circulars" have fallen into the hands of a gentleman who was in the prison at the time the trench or tunnel was dug, and who with Col. Streight and several others made his escape, and who says that Col. Streight was not the originator of the tunnel scheme, and that he (Streight) knew nothing of the intention of tunneling or that a tunnel had been dug, until after it had been completed, and he (Streight) was invited to an open tunnel through which he might, make his escape. Now if the Streight "Bureau" men deny this statement of facts it can be substantiated. Thus we see the laurels, like the leaves from the trees, dropping one by one from this would be l§fty crown, 'Streight to the ground."

TIIK

name of a policeman has been

handed lis who is said to be unusually active in pushing the interests and electioneering generally for a certain Republican candidate for Councilman. It. is just sue.li action n*t this on the part of policemen which make it necessary to nave metropolitan police bills. Policemen have no business to spend their time electioneering for anybodr. Their dutv lies in*a totally different direction, and if they attend to it faithfully they will have but little time left for anything else.— /ndianttptli* Sf iitiiH-l of today.

So say we. Amen! Sela! But in the name of the Holy Ghost, Mr. Sentinel, just come over to Terre Haute on next election day and see the Democratic policemen and firemen electioneer and work at the polls for the Democratic ticket. At the hist April election, the dens, slums ami Jjack alleys of New York City could not beat 'em,

General Streight had six columns of his boom yesterday in the News, four columns in thrllb'puhliean. two columns in the People, and one eotutnu in the Sentinel. It is seldom one finds such unity in sentiment in these papers. It is certainly known that he paid for part of them by the column, and it is reasonable to infer that he treated them all alike. Delegates to the Stale convention are hereby notitied that they will receive all these papers thi« week from the Streight hurvau at ltid?anapoH*.»-/fi /»V?

People here are growing disgxisted with the gentleman. Please don't send any more. The "Gem" piuile has died, and we want tteuj»etalion.

NOTWITHSTANDING the "Flop's" linruntrue about Heilmnn for Governor, Gen. A. I). Streight will be the nominee, and don't vou forget it,"Jegde.Indianapolis Ripvhlican.

We would simply say. Mr. Republican, that the Republican party is larger than the "Streight bureau." Although Streight bought the "Republican" for $75, that does signify that the party can be bought so cheap.

Candidates, whether nominated or defeated. are requested to call at this office and settle the accounts contracted during the late county campaign.—Indianapoli* liepublican. "Streight" settles his accounts in advance therefore, old fellow, please don't complain.

IT is calculated that of the young men who have become voters sinch 1876, fourfifths will this year vote the Republican ticket. If this estimate is correct, it will War marked effect upon the result in the close States.
