THE acquittal of Daniel Coughlin, charged with the murder of Dr. Cronin, is almost universally condemned by the press of Chicago, and the leading papers throughout the country, that have followed the testimony closely. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat calls the verdict absurd, and intimates that the same line of reasoning would probably demonstrate that Dr. Cronin was not killed at all. In the meantime Coughlin is free and has left Chicago for permanent residence in Michigan, while the plotters who killed, or helped to kill Dr. Croniu, remain to carry out the behest of the Clan-na-Gael when it becomes necessary to further their ends, and to again put forth the secret and far-reaching influences, to protect their tools of vengeance, as they have done in the case of Coughlin, so recently brought to a successful termination.

CONSTABLE ISAAC TALIJOT—"may his tribe increase"—-of Easton, Mo., has attained prominence and a certain fame by reason of his resignation, which was tendered within fifteen minutes after he was sworn in. He had made great efforts to secure the office, filed his bond, took the oath, and having attained the object of his solicitude and ambition, suddenly changed liis mind and returned to the Court House and shed the responsibilities and cares of his great office from his shoulders. Psychologists have failed to account for the peculiar mental processes involved in the whole proceeding. His motives have remained hidden and his case is likel.y to remain unique, solitary, and a shining example of what a man can do and undo. Should the practice become epidemic many little "booms," that are to-day apparently intangible and "baseless fabrics of a vision" may yet materialize into solid realities.

SPRIXO in eighteen ninetv-four it has before—as and flow so the go, and the earth hurled and the

comes much like the tides do ebb seasons come and through space is weather is unfurled like a string from spinning top that the small boy throws ker-flop seed time and the gentle rain followed by the golden gran, stubble and the fallowfields, orchards with their juicy yields, autumn's sere and yellow :leaf and cold winter's storm and grief—then again comes April's tears in the rushing tide of years.

Man looks on and vainly sighs for the vanished years and tries to recall the joys long fled and the faces of the dead—but each whirl of this old ball wafts him on beyond recall, and at last the Reaper grim with his scythe reaches for him, and he falls like stalk of grain meets its length upon the plain. So the seasons come and go, so man's lot is here below—time and change and joy and sorrow, luck to day and fate to-morrow, follow as a string's unfurled as old earth through space is hurled.

THE phenomenal production oi harvesting machinery is one of the most remarkable phases of the wonderful progress that has marked the industrial development of the United States. America leads the world in this, as in nearly all other kinds ol agricultural machinery. Vast factories are constantly in operation, whose output cannot be absorbed by the home market, but is sent to the Antipodes, bringing to our shores the gold and products of a foreign soil. Perhaps the largest of all these great enterprises is the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company's works at Chicago. This great firm has just issued a beautiful pamphlet describing their various machines, which can be had on application to any agent of the company. To give the reader a comprehensive idea of the number of machines made by them in 1893 a diagram is given, representing a tract of land one mile wide by one and onethird miles long, equal to a farm of 853 acres, divided into square rods. Each square rod is supposed to hold a McCormick machine, sold in 1893. To count these machines, taking one row at a time, would require more than seventeen days, and a walk of more than 42G miles. A field large enough to accommodate all these machines, cutting in a continuous line, would be equal to one-half the State of Indiana. Human enterprise and ingenuity has seldom achieved a nr.rn.tor triumph than this.

THE CAMPAIGN.

Politics "Warms Up.

Republicans of Indiana Enthmcil rs They Never Before Have Been.

Indianpolis Journal.

People in Indiana usually ta their politics pretty hard, and they are taking political affairs more to heart this year than they have at anytime since the period jnst before the war. Never in the memory of the present generation has there been an» '.hing like the Republican activity displayed this yenr. In ever -ou. ty rf the State, not excci_ tii ou-"U Democratic Gibraltars as Allen and o.dlivan counties, the Republic- :. find numbers of men who ait nc, only willing but anxious to accept \ublican nominations, and the general feeling pervades the party that Indiana's November election will be simply a repetition of the landslides in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Chairman Gowdy, of the Republican State committee, has just completed a tour of the State by districts, meeting in turn the county chairmen and secretaries of each congressional district and talking over with them the question of organization. The party is now very completely organized throughout the State upon what is probably the best system ever devised. It is so complete and compact that the voters of the State are divided up into very small neighborhoods in the country and half squares in the city, with a reliable man whose business it is to look after each of these. The reports gathered from these district meetings arc of the most encouraging character. Two thorough trouncings have had the effect of uniting and harmonizing the Republicans of Indiana. while one year of the Cleveland administration has brought to the Republicans accessions that may be fairly estimated at an average of five to the voting precinct.

At these district meetings the time and places of the Congressional conventions were fixed as follows:

First district., Evansville. April 10 Second district, Mitchell, April 17 Third. New Albany. June 7 Fourth. Greensburg, date left open Fifth, Grgencastle, May 10: Sixth, Muncie. April 12 Seventh, Indianapolis, April 24 Eighth.Terre Haute, date.left open Ninth, Kokomo, June

Tenth, Hammond, May 24 Eleventh. Hartford City, May 10 Twelfth. Fort Wayne, June 23 Thirteenth, Warsaw, June

The Republicans feel certain of carrying nine of these districts and believe they have even chances of carrying the other four. Even in the strong Democratic districts, like the Second, Third, Fourth and Twelfth, there are anywhere from two to six candidates hustling for the Republican nomination. The most hotly contested fights for nominations, however, will be in the First, Fifth Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Thirteenth districts. In all these except the Tenth there are no less than half a dozen strong candidates, and the fact that the Tenth has but three is by no means to be taken as an indication that the contest there is alight one. On the contrary, the sharpest ante-convention fight in the whole State is in that district between Hon. Charles B. Landis and Judge William Johnston, of Valparaiso. The lines have to some extent been drawn there between the young and the older men, and the way the young men of the district are rallying to Mr. Landis' support is something remarkable. Leading politicians from Logansport, Winamac and other points in the district interviewed here recently express the opinion that the younger element has somewhat the best of it. Carroll count}', at its convention last week, instructed for Mr. Landis, and it is said that he has Newton and Jasper solid.

The contest for places on the State ticket is right now at fever heat, as the county convention period is on, and scarcely a day passes that some county does not convene for the purpose of electing delegates. There are thirty-nine candidates for the offices at the disposal of the convention, and nearly half of them turn up at almost every county convention. Never in the history of the party has such an array of strong men come before a convention in Indiana as will be proposed for nominations in this city on April 25. It is a matter of current comment that the convention might go through the whole list, select the weakest men running for each nomination and still have a strong ticket. oThe perigrinations of these candidates for State offices and the activity of those who are hustling for countj' nominations keep politics in the Republican party at fever heat just now, and the State committee is taking ad vantage of the general activity not only to put together an invincible party organization, but as well to push the organization of Republican clubs. This latter work is well under way, and by the time the State convention rolls around it will be a mighty small hamlet in Indiana that does not boast of at least one Republican club.

WhoOanAnswcr It?

Indianapolis Sentinel.

1

It is not often that our neighbor, the Journal, has anything to say in the way of politi.-s that The Sentinel cannot answer, or at'least believe it can answer. We therefore print, as an unusual specimen of the charac-ter,-the following Jrom its issue of yesterday.:

White, jialf a den:on democratic senators.Ri'e clamoring for protection /to the,interests of their constituents, .ft'ad .whil,c .!the -Senate finance com­

mittee is trying to decide just how much protection it will give this, that and the other interest, it may be well enpugh to recall the tariff resolution of the Chicago platform. It says: "We denounce Republican protection as a fraud, a robbery of the great majority of the Americau people for the benefit of the few. We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the Democratic pa'*ty that the federal government has no constitutional power to impose and collect tariff duties except for the purpose of revenue only."

If Republican protection is a fraud and robbery of the great majority of the people for the benefit of the few, what is Democrat protection?

How can any Democrat answer that? If our platform means anything, if our repeated declaration of principle mean an}'thing what is "Democratic protection" or any other kind of protection but a fraud and a robbery? No man can draw any distinction. No sensible man would attempt to draw any distinction. Democratic protection would be not only a fraud and a robbery, but it would be barefaced and shameless, because it is in direct conflict with all Democratic professions. Republicans can make softie show of excuse for it because they have maintained that i^ was right, but Democrats can ale none whatever. There is not a Democratic paper in the country that has not denounced the McKinlcy bill donation to the sugar trust, and now comes this Senate report with a bonus quite as great in any event, and probabty three times as great. There is not a Democratic paper that has not denounced Attor-ney-General Miller's failure to prosecute the whisky trust, or failed to rebuke the dismissal of the prosecutions instituted against it under Cleveland's former administration, yet here comes this Senate report with an unheard of, inexcusable, unjustifiable grant of live years' time to this trust on its taxes. There is not a Democratic newspaper that has not denounced the infamous iron-coal--rail road combine, yet here comes this Senate report with special, useless, unwarranted donations to this band of thieves. There is not a Democratic paper that has denounced the oppressions of the cigarmakers by the absurd McKinlev duty on Sumatra leaf, yet here comes this report with a duty of $1 per pound on Sumatra leaf and an increased internal revenue tax of $2 per thousand.

What answer can be made when Republicans point to these violations of our declared principles? How can any Democrat face an audience and say anything about trusts and combines? How can he meet the jibes and jeers that will be hurled at him? How can he talk about the iniquities of Republican legislation with any such open iniquity as this confronting him? If Republicans were dictating this legislation they could not more completely put the Democratic party in the hole than, the adoption of this report would.

A Belated Discovery.

Indianapolis Journal.

There are some thinsrs which make hibits a table of

one very weary, and one of those things which may be said to "tire" the intelligent citizen is the holy horror of New York too-goods and Tammany deserters expressed at the discovery of the ballot box frauds committed by Tammany last fall. A few nights ago Representative Dunphy, who has just thrown off his allegiance to Tammany, but who yet holds his seat by the grace of Bos-s Croker, related at a meeting in New York city a few facts regarding Tammany's frauds last fall. He said:

Tammany registered 13,000 men in the second assembly district last year when the district contained only 8,000 legal voters. More than 13,000 men were voted so that the workers might be sure that none would be lost in the final count. Before the election I saw long lines of men waiting to register. "Who are they?" I asked. "They are the tin soldiers," one of the politicians answered, who are paid to register." "How much do they get?" "The price was $1. but there are so many of them now that we get four for a quarter." On election day I found two polling places where the ballots were prepared and handed out in a hallway, and another where only one booth was in use, and in the back of that there was a slit in the canvas through which the willing voter found a' p{iir of hands protruding which prepared his ballot for him. At another .place I saw one man come.out of the booth and fall into line three times and vote each time. "Oh, that's nothing," said one of the watchers, when I spoke of it. "He voted seven or eight times before you came."

Representative Dunphv taUied as if this, were a new discovery, and yet the same thing, in one form or another, has been going on since 1868, Only in a less degree was the same fraud perpetrated in 1SD2. The Second Assembly District gave May-, hard, Dem.. 11,040 and Bartlett, Rep.. 1.351 in November, 1893, while in 1892 it crave Cleveland 9,130 and Harrison 2,224. There was a total of 11,742 votes polled in the Second District in 1892 by 8.000 voters and 18,928 by the same 8.000 in 1S93. In the district, in 1892, the candidates for President other than Mr. Cleveland received 2,370 votes. Deduct these from the 8,000 which is the whole number of voters, in the district, and there were 5,024 left to vote for Mr. Cleveland, supposing that every man voted. These zealous 5,024 Democrats gave Mr.

Cleveland 9,130 votes—1,130 mori than there were voters in the district, or 3,500 more than 5,624 Democrats having a right to vote for one candidate in one day. Why did not Mr. Dunphv make this discovery regarding the vote for 1892? Becausc he and Mr. Cleveland were elected by such frauds. And now the Cleveland organs like the Times and NewYork Evening Post and the truly good men about the office of Harper's Weekly listen with seeming astonishment to the story of Representative Dunphv, and exclaim: '"My. but how wicked And yet just such frauds elected Mr. Cloveland in 18S4 and created ""the great popular revolt against protection in 1892." Still, these highly moral journals and those •who worshiped the Consecrated One with them in 1892 pretend that Dunphy's discovery was the first hint they had ever had of this thirty-j-ears'-qld ballotbox fraud of Tammany.

An Impregnable Organization. Marcus 11. Sulzer. president of the State Lincoln League, says that before next October the Republican party will be so compactly organized in this State that it will be wholly impregnable. Since the annual meeting in February he has spoken in ten cities in the State,and has engagements that will occupy his time all of next month.

A HOOSIEii GENIUS.

Wonderful Indiana Clonic Now at the California Midwinter Fair.

A Portland, Ind., special Feb. G, to the Indianapolis News, says: One day last week there was shipped tc the Midwinter Fair from this place a specimen of Hoosier work which will excite the admiration of all who may see it, for the patieuce and ingenuity manifested in its construction. It was the one-hundred-3'ear astronomical, historical and scriptural clock made by Robert H, Sipes, in constructing which he challenges the world for originality, unique features and number of scenes and moving figures.

The clock is thirteen feet high and nine feet wide, with a case of polished walnut. The main dial is two feet in diameter and gives both sun and standv.nl time, also the days of the month. On its face is a number of smaller dials. One gives the day of the week, another shows the origin of the days by the planets appearing as they were named in thn second century, when the'mode reckoning time by weeks was adopted. On Saturday Saturn appears, Sunday the sun, Monday tho moon, etc. Another points out important past events, fixed days that are most observed by the chm'chcs, and the so-called unlucky days each mouth, as the ancients respected them. Other small dials show the time of the rising and setting of the sun the four cardinal points the moon's phases, increasing and decreasing, and the moon's age in days and quarters. An ocean scene, with indicator attached, gives the tides, and their proportional hight can be seen at any time the clock is in operation. The large dial exmortality, showing

the proportion of deaths based on a calculation of ten thousand persons. Two more diminutive dials are yet to be mentioned, both on the large one. The first is a key to set the clock for leap year, or in case it loses time by being stopped, and the other is the one from which the name is taken, and points out the ruling planets from 187G to 1975.

Below the large dial is a small one giving the difference in time at the principal cities of the world when it is 12 o'clock at Washington, D. C. The solar system is represented by the earth, sun and moon, the center being a fixed sun, the larger ball the earth, and the smaller one by its side the moon. The earth revolves around the sun. keeping pace with the solar time dial on the large dial, and the moon revolves around the earth in unison with the moon dial, showing the months of the year, winter, spring, summer and autumn and the solstices.

On top of the clock is a figure representing Sir Isaac Newton taking views through his telescope, which changes position on the quarter of the hour. Upon either band are the battleinented towers of an am ient castle. To the right of the dial are three sets of moving figures. The first is General Washington reviewing his army the sccond the Presidents of the United States in the order in which they were elected, and the third the ancient mode ol punishment is shown by the death ol Mary Stuart by the ax. ... On the left are also three sets of figures. The first, or uppermost, shows the flight of time, with tht four seasons of the year in the second the heroes of 177G pass before and are honored by a bow and wave of the hand by the Goddess of Liberty, with the exception of the traitor, Benedict Arnold, who goes unnoticed. The lower one is a tableau sqenq picturing the fondness of the elephant for children.. There arc two other sets of figures, above and below the main dial, which arc scriptural in character in one an upright figure keeps time to the music with its hands, while Vulcan, kneeling down, strikes the hours on an anvil with his hammer.

This clock has one hundred moving figures and characters, and it? music boxes play eighteen d'fferont pieces. Robert H. Sipes, its builder, is forty-nine years old. He spent seven years working on his great masterpiece. He was brought into the trades of sculpturing and wood-carving. ...

Jeannio's Bonnie Dream.

They sat together on the warm, sp-irk-

The mother watched beside her sleeping- child, and she—scarce more than a child herself—murmured a mother's prayer, "Lord Jesus, save ray little girl." Again and again she repeated it, "Save my little girl." That was all.

O God! why are the poor born to bo so unhappy? hoftly she drew the threadbare tartan .shawl softly round the slender frame. Gentle as was the motion it roused the sleeper. The great blue eyes opened. "Did I wake ye. Jeannie?" "No, no, mither, ye diuna wake me I woke my ainsel. I had a bonnie dream, mither." "Ay. dearie: what was it?"

The mother looked down anxiously. "Afore I went to sleep I was watchin' the ships wi' their white sails llittin' owrc the water, an' I wondered whar they "were a' gaun. I looked, mi' looked, an' looked, an1 then thought I was in' a wee boatie, wi" white sails, too. nnthe -. They said it was g.-um to heav'n. The sky was black owi-e my hcid, an' great waves tossed my boatio to an' fro. But far away tho sun was glintin' 011 the water, an' there were steps of gowtl gaun up, up, up. They said that was the way to heav'n. Is't so, mither? Are ye list'11 in'?11

"My wee lamb," was all the mother could say. .She pressed the frail form 1o her. The golden head sank bad drowsily. "Tho next time."

My clothes hung to my bony frame like a bag"

MR. SILAS GALIMORE, OF SPENCER, OWEN COUNTY, INDIANA, As he appeared before using Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.

Almost every pei son is familiar with the hardships to which a Farmer's life is exposed. Mr. Galimore was a man of iron constitution and stalwart frame, but hard work and a series of colds, brought on by repeated exposure, developed into

A Very Bad Case of Kidney Trouble

and a general derangement of the urinary organs, which finally broke him down, and from a giant in strength he became in less than a year a weak, trembling and almost a helpless man. Mr. Galimore tells the interesting story in

his own way. Pausing a moment, he said: "My v/hole trouble seemed to have settled on my kidneys and in my urinary organs, and continued to distress mo more or less for about eight years. I went to a number of different doctors of good repute, but kept getting*worse all ther time my appetite became very badand my strength all deserted me. I got so weak that.I could walk but a few rods without resting. I used to be a big, heavy, strong man, weighing 200 Pounds, but I Ran Down to 133 Pounds, was weak and pale, my clothing hung to my bony form like a bag and lookedjaa if they were twice too large for me. After having been treated by tho best physicians, receiving only temporary relief, I lost all hope and thought there was no cure. One day my son was in Frank Lawson's Drug Store, your agent at Spencer, when I was feeling more dead than alive. He persuaded him to have me try a bottle of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy. I did so and soon began to got relief, and steadily improved in every way, gaining in strength and weight until

Wow I Tip the Scales at 202 Pounds.

I am at tho present time a vigorous old man of 74 years, and feel that I have a new lease of life. I can only say to those who have loft all hopes on account of the failure of physicians and medicines, that they.'will not, havo performed every duty they owe to themselves and those who may. bo dependent upon them, until they nave made ono more effort and tried Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. =Jata. 15th, 1891. Sincerely yours, SILAS GALIMORE.

Every testimonial of SWAMP-ROOT is absolutely true. The name and addross is correctly given. If you have any doubt, write and find out.
