TNDIANA

THE Sunday Inter-Ocean, March 4, gave an extensive write-up of gambling in Chicago. It estimates that there arc from 1,500 to 2,000 professional sports in that city who prey upon the wage-earners and reap a luxurious living without toil. The dens are almost innumerable, and the traps that are laid to catch the unwary are ingenious and varied. Many of the places are magniiicent in their appointments and luxurious in all their surroundings, but the less attractive resorts are quite as successful and are more largely patronized. The authorities are practical!}' powerless to regulate the evil or purposely neglect to attempt to enforce the laws, and the '"'tiger" has. an almost undisputed swa}r. Snide games and barefaced robberies are matters of daily occurrence, and although an occasional arrest and fine follows the discovery of an especially aggravated case, it causes but little comment, and is regarded as a matter of course. People who suspect themselves of any tendency to "greenness" would do well to take a guardian along when visiting the World's Fair city.

PROBABLY the most amusing feature of the long-drawn out discussion of the silver question is the petition now alleged to be in circulation in Colorado mining camps, looking to a secession of the silver producing States from the Union. It is proposed that these disgruntled citizens shall attach themselves and their silver mines to the Republic of Mexico. It seems incredible that sensible men would waste their time in an agitation so utterly foolish, or seriously contemplate an enterprise so absolutely visionary and hopeless. Yet the information that such a movement in contemplated is apparently trustworthy, and there may be a possibility that Uncle Sam may yet have to send a Gatling gun and a squad of artillery out West to suppress this latest venture of unbalanced minds. Seriously, while such a secession movement could never hope to succeed, there is no doubt that a few thousand desperate and determined men, fully acquainted with the mountain fastnesses of Colorado, could give the government at Washington a vast amount of trouble before they could be conquered.

THE entire civilized world will in the near future be joined together in a network of cables, and intelligence from the most remote quarters of the globe will reach us by their sympathetic nerves before our correspondent at Possum Tret has gathered and mailed to us his weekly budget. The latest enterprise of this character is a cable line across the South China Sea from Borneo to Hong Kong. The route has already been surveyed, and the work of cable laying will soon begin. British capital will control the company and the cable will be of English manufacture. Naturally its workings will be manipulated to the advantage of British commerce. British capitalists already control a vast system of Asiatic ocean cables, and Englishmen have taken the lead in all parts of the world in the cable-laying business. Americans, to whose inventive genius the world owes the submarine telegraphic cable, have fallen behind in the competition /or their construction which began fifty years ago. American cables are fully as good as those, manufactured in England, but we can not, it is claimed, compete in price with those of English manufacture. The true explanation, however, of this unsatisfactory state of affairs is our lack of capital to make investments bringing a small percentage of return and extending over a long term of years.

An Ostrich KUCJ.

A gentleman visited pen of tame ostriches in Africa. At his call two beautiful birds came up to him. Beincr desirous of testing' their speed, lis arranged with their keeper that they should run a race. So he caressed the birds avid showed them a handful of figs, of which they ace very fond. The ostriches were held while the visitor walked to a. certain distance. At a signal they were set free and began to run for the figs. They came bounding: along at a terrific rate, taking twelve or fourteen feet at a stride. They ran neck a,rid neck for more lhan half the distance, their wings working1 like arms and making a great sound. Presently one drew ahead, and, looking behind, as you may have noticed a bry in a fool nv,e do t: see where his rival was, and linding him beaten, the winner slackened his p.ieo and gontly trotted up for the prize of figs.

THE CAMPAIGN.

Democratic Infamy and Duplicity.

Extracts from I'ro Opinions on the Questions of the Hour.

Republican Defenders Only Indianapolis Journal. While the bill appropriating $150,000.000 for pensions— a cut down of over $15,000,000 from the first estimates—was under consideration in House the past week the discussion turned upon the present administration of the Pension Bureau. Here in Indiana Democratic soldiers denounce the Cieveland-Hoke-Smith-Lochren policy as bitterly as do Republicans, but not a Democratic Representative from Indiana had a word to say against the pension policy which Deputy Commissioner Ball says will cut down pension disbursements about $25,000,001) the next fiscal year and down to §100,000,000 before the close of the Cleveland administration, instead of $160.000,000 the last fiscal year. ISio pensioners wore hit harder than were the Democratic, soldiers in Indiana who were pensioners under the act of 1800 until Lochren was called off. Indiana soldiers will suffer their full share in the contemplated reduction of one-third of the aggregate expenditure for pensions. Every Indiana Democratic Representative, by his silence, approved this policy. Every one of them is a Cleveland-Hoke-Smith t:cuckoo."

On the other hand,

the two Republican Representatives, Johnson and Waugh, were in the front line of the men denouncing this poiicy of hostility to the Union soldiers. standing with such soldiers as General Sickles, Grosvenor, Henderson, Hepburn and Picklor, and assailed the official conspiracy against pensioners. Judge Waugh. in his remarks last Saturday, showed that during the six months ending last November the Pension Bureau issued 35,755 certificates and rejected 67,283 applications, while during the corresponding period of 1S02, under the Harrison administration, 118,95-1 pension certificates were issued. Judge Waugh went on to say:

Since the Pension Office went into Democratic hands there have been over 16,000 pensioners dropped and suspended from the roll over 12.000 by the action of the pension office, aiid over 4.000 by the operation of the law passed bv the Fifty-second Congress and during the same time the roll has diminished about 2.").(100 by death, and about 8,000 more from other causes. It seems that death and Hoke Smith have been ousv getting their work in on the boys, and in many instances death has dealt more gently with them than Hoke Smith. This administration came into power with a libel upon the pension i*oll by its official utterance that "there were thousands of neighborhoods throughout the country that had their wellknown pension frauds." The administration has been in power a year and has been, as we must believe, more vigilant in hunting fraud than in granting pensions, and it has found just three neighborhoods, Norfolk, New Mexico and Iowa. The frauds in one of these neighborhoods were, as I am informed, discovered during the Republican administration."

When Judge Waugh said that there were far less frauds with pension claims than any other Congress had undertaken to deal with he made an allusion to the Southern war claims, both allowed and pending, which was so well understood that applause followed. Referring to the silence of Indiana Democratic Senators and Representatives, Judge Waugh said: ''Some time ago it was heralded to the country through the public press that certain Democrats, notably from Indiana, were going to commence a war on the administration's pension policy. I have boon listening ever since, but I have fa-iVed up to this fime to hear the opening guns of the conflict. Have they come to the conclusion that they cannot, deceive the old soldier any longer? When the old soldier and the pension roll are assaulted, as is so often done on this floor, why is it that we scarcely ever see a Northern Democrat rise to his feet to rebuke it? If he does he speaks in tones so low that he cannot be heard outside his Congressional district. [Laughter.] Have they come to the conclusion that they cannot fool the old soldier any longer or have the assaulting forces surrendered to the seductive influences of the pie counter?"

ANARCHY IN CONGRESS.

Mr. Reed Is Alarmed at. the Possibilities That Are Ijooming Up.

Washington Letter to New York Sun,

I can see how ex-Speaker Reed is naturally the physical and intellectual leader of the House. His size is tremendous, his mind quick, and he is in dead earnest.

When I asked him what the Senate would do with the Wilson bill he said:

l'I

begin to get alarmed. At first we thought the cooler heads of the Senate would put back on to the tariff a good deal of the $84,000,000 deficit and make a tariff for revenue according to the Democratic platform. But now I see there is Anarchy in the Senate. I am afraid that the Wilson bill will go through the Senate with its worst features retained. The Southern free-traders are in power." "How will this affect the Democratic party?" I asked. "It will destroy it in the North,

Whmm I

but with its destruction will come great damage to the Republic. I should like to see the party wreck itself, but I feel that patriotism should take the place of party now. If I were a Northern Democrat I would put that $84,000,000 deficit back. Then they can go back to the foolish voters and say: 'We have done your bidding. We have made a tariff for revenue and for the whole revenue.' As it is, and as it will be, the voters will say: 'You have not made a tariff for revenue. You have made free trade in some things and destroyed the revenue on others. You have caused our wages to be cut twenty-live per cent, to fit your wage-destroying tariff. You have stopped mills, made workmen paupers. and taken billions of wage money out of circulation, and run the country in debt besides.'" "How can money be made flush again?'" 1 asked, and Mr. Reed answered: "'There is no way to put money in circulation except through wages paid. Issuing Government bonds doesn't make circulation. The laborers must earn it and spend it, and that will make it (lush. The statisticians say the 20,000.000 laboring people in this country earn when they are at work from $30,000,000 to $40'000,000 a day. The Wilson tariff bill will cut these wages from ten to twenty-five per cent. The ten per cent, cut on £40,000,000 will be a loss of $4,000,000 a day to laboring men, or $1,200,000,000 in a year. A twenty-five per cent, cut in wages will take $3,000,000,000 out of circulation. One-third of our labor is idle now. This idleness is costing us probably $10,000,000 a day. I do not wonder that the times arc hard and that money is tight. There is money enough in the banks. They are glutted, but labor isn't getting any of it. It will stay there till labor gets it out." "What will bring money out?" "Why. labor. I say. and nothing else. Set the mills to resuming, keep wages up, and the boys will soon earn money enough and spend enough to make times good again."

GIJIIIVKLAXD AND THK VETEttAXS

The President's Efforts to Discredit the Roll of Pensioners.

Baltimore American.

President Cleveland's pension policy is now under discussion in the House of Representatives, and the Democrats are experiencing considerable difficulty in reconciling their alleged sympathy for the veterans. who saved the country with their loyalty, to the head of their party. They certainly will not convince the soldier of their sincerity by quasi indorsements of Cleveland's policy, such as they gave to his action in the Hawaiian affair. The soldiers are, as rule, among the most intelligent and enterprising of American citizens. It is for this reason that both parties are so anxious to secure their votes. Such men cannot be blinded concerning the attitude of the President toward them. Cleveland's hostility to those whe defended the country when its life was threatened was made notorious during his first term—so notorious as to suggest that he had taken a dislike to them because he had sent a substitute to the war instead ol going himself.

His cynical and satirical vetoes ol pension bills which had been passed by Congress without opposition suggested a malignant motive, and created the impression that in some way he had suffered wrong at- the hands of the soldiers, or imagined he had. and was determined to have revenge when the oportunity offered. His flippant humor was far more offensive to the soldiers than his vetoes which accompanied it, and very soon a'ter he entered on his second term Mr. Cleveland made it apparent that he had thrown away the scabbard in his controversy with the country's defenders. The sudden change of policy in the Pension Bureau could mean nothing else. It was a despicable policy to suspend thousands of pensions upon the pretense of suspicion, but it was an effective policy all the same, for manjrof the soldiers, not a few of whom might be the most meritorious, were unable or unwilling to fight the government.

They had had a tough struggle to get their pensions, and were unable or unwilling to make another fight. It was worse than encountering the enemy on the field of battle. The latter conflict is soon over, but an encounter with red tape is too often prolonged indefinitely. It has thus happened that while the bureau has not exposed as many real frauds as was done during the same time under President Harrison's administration, its pernicious activity has given infinite trouble to the veterans, and entailed heavy additional expense on the government. The difference between the policy of Mr. Cleveland and that of his predecessor can be summed up in a few words. President Harrison aimed to make the pension list a roll of honor, while President Cleveland aims to produce the impression that it was a sham roll, and thus discredit the soldier in the eyes of the country. It is almost unnecessary to say that Mr. Cleveland is himself so seriously discredited in popular estimation that he cannot materially injure the soldier, but until Congress puts a stopper on the extravagance and unfairness of the bureau as now managed he can put many thousands of pensioners to great inconvenience.

INDIANA ASSESSORS.

Seveiity-KIxIit of the Nin«tj--Ttvo CountlM lto ircrtciitcl at the Indiana poll.* Convention.

Seventy-eight counties of Indiana sent their assessors to the conference which convened at Indianapolis, Wednesday. Gov. Matthews called the meeting to order and spoke at length. Upon the subject of tax dodgers he said:

There is another class of property to which I trust you may devote serious attention, that may be. properly put down as the invisible, at least it possesses the wonderful facility of escaping discovery. These are in the forms of notes.mortgages, bonds and other securities held by individuals and corporations as investments. Too often is the enormity of this concealment only revealed by the hand of death, and through the consequent settling of estates do we first learn the extent to which the State, the county, the community and 1 lie honest taxpaver has been defrauded in the just amount of taxes due. Lists should bo carefully gone over, the party questioned upon each item and solemnly sworn to in the presence of the assessor, and not, as too ofti-n, carelessly left to be li 1 led by the. party assessed.

Following the. Governor's address a motion was made for the appointment of live committees to djscuss the assessment of certain personal and troublesome real property with a view of fixing uniform rates of taxation in all the counties. The motion was made to include, seven committees and they were appointed.

Executive business requiring the Governor's attention. Col. I. X. Walker was called to the chair and made a short address, impressing upon the officials present the importance of equalizing assessments. At the afternoon session Attorney-Genera! Smith was present, and answered many questions concerning points of law bearing upon the. duties of assessor. One of the most important point- was the assessment of movable property belonging to persons outside the State or out of the county and stored here for safe keeping or other purposes. The Attorney-General stilted thai all such property was assessable either to t.ho owner or to the person who had it in charge in the county whore it was stored.

The conference, reassemble.!. Thursday morning, and received and adopted the reports of the various committees. The rate of assessment this year will be as follows:

It was decided to leave the assessment of tools, farming implements and machinery to the township assessors. Prepaid building association stock will be assessed to the owner. Mortgage and all other notes will bo listed at their cash value. Private banks will be. assessed on the residue of credit after deducting the amount of indebtedness added to cash on hand, cash on deposit with other banks and the value of fixtures.

Tho committee on household furniture, libraries and musical instruments made a report in which the articles varied, an I the. report was returned to the committee with instructions to change it so that assessments may bo made as the true ish vaiue.

Tho, Attorney-General said that, the statutes required property to be smso sd at its true cash value. Any article t.hre\ years old was of less value than on. two years old. ():ie of the eases now passim through the court was that, of the railroads of Indiana against the State Tax Commission. The Board of Commissioners had made, tho rule that all property, with the exception of railroads, b: assessed at 7.) per cent. of its value. The railroad assessment, was to be for its full value. This was alleged to be a discrimination. and the most serious question of the tax cases now pending. The railroad? have been endeavoring to breakdown the laws of the State relative to taxation and have spent, thousands of dollars to accomplish it. The light was based on discrimination. if it were indulged in by tin assessors, he said, it would iill the court: with tax controversies.
