The funeral of the late Secretary Folger will take place on Tuesday next, at Genova, New York. The Democratic party “told the truth” about Cleveland three weeks before any Republican repeated it. Up to this dat* independent Republicans have never made much success in selecting Democratic candidates. Mr. Hendricks, who has lately made the acquaintance of Mr. Cleveland, does not think it advisable to take him off the ticket “now.” Tre fool is still abroad in the land. A orank tried to assassinate Sitting Bull, at St. Paul, to’ avenge the murder of General Custer. The Democrats are now fixing it up that unless Maine gives 20,000 Republican majority. it will be a great Democratic gain. The Democrats are rum creatures. Pour years ago next week the Democrats tarried Maine, and the election of Hancock was claimed beyond a doubt. Maine will hardly go Democratic on Monday next. Neither will Cleveland be elected. Independent Republicans once before selected the candidate for the Democratic party, with what result let tho election returns of 1872 attest. Horace Greeley was incomparably superior to Cleveland, but was the worstbeaten man that ever ran. Mr. Burke, of Wayne, was the temporary President of the State Senate in 1857, when tho Democrat (Leroy Woods, of Clarke,) was roted out of his seat for holding two “lucrative offices," with tho help of his party, against \he Constitution. It was printed "Bender." It won’t serve as a campaign document to photographs of Blaine’s Washington residence.

royalty from his book, is not more than sufficient to allow him to live comfortably. It is false, also, that he owns any interest in the Hocking valley coal mines, though such ownership would not affect his character if he did. The following correspondence will explain itself: ‘ The Indianapolis Journal, 1 Indianapolis, Sept. 2, 18S4. > “Hon. E. B. Martindale, Indianapolis, Ind.: “Dear Sir—lt is charged in a newspaper in this city that as chairman of the State Central committee, in 1880,1 bought up ‘trumpedup accounts against the committee at twentyfive cents on the dollar, paying myself in full therefdr.’ i‘lnasmuch as the only account or bill that I purchased against said committee was the one held by you against said committee, as proprietor of the Journal, for the sum of sl,910, at the time that the present proprietors purchased the Journal, its assets and franchises of you, will you please say whether said account was a just or a ‘trumped-up’ one, and whether we paid you the full face value thereof, or whether we bought it at twentyfive cents on the dollar. Yours truly, , “Jno. C. New ~ MR. MARTINDALE’S REPLY. “E. B. Martindale & Sons, f Insurance. > Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 3, 1884. ) “Hon. John 0. New, Indianapolis, Ind.: “Dear Sir—ln reply to your favor of the 2d inst., I would say that when I sold you the Journal, in May, 1880, the Republican State central committee owed me $1,910. The account was for supplements, advertising appointments, and for extra papers purchased by the committee during the canvass of 1878, and the canvass on the constitutional amendments in the winter of 1879 and 1880. The prices charged were very low, and the account was a iust one. “When you purchased the Journal you purchased this account, and paid me the full face value of the same. There never was any question raised by any member of the committee as to the correctness of the account, and bad the committee refused to-pay it to you it would have been base repudiation. These facts can be established by the sworn testimony of a dozen witnesses. Yours truly, “E. B. Martindale.”

The Indianapolis Sentinel deliberately and knowingly falsifies the well-known facts of the case when it says that the Journal was one of the first papers to publish the truth concerning Cleveland’s lechery. The Sentinel quotes a reference to it made in the Joumal of July 12. On the 23d day of June, or nearly three weeks previous to that date, the Rochester Union, then, as now, a reliably Democratic paper, accused Mr. Cleveland of haring had a concubine, and of being the father of illegitimate progeny. This charge it repeated and emphasized in the hope that the party, being enlightened as to his character, would not make the mistake of nominating him over worthier men. Despite this warning, however, the nomination was made. Soon after the convention, Mr. William Purcell, the editor of the Union, and who was a candidate for presidential elector on the Democratic ticket, resigned from both, pleading that he could not conscientiously cast his vote for a libertine, and he did not want to stand in the way of the paper supporting the Democratic nominees if its management saw fit. As these charges were made by the Union two weeks before the Journal made any reference to them, and as the Journal on several occasions called attention to the facts as shown above, we can but feel that tho Sentinel has maliciously and purposely lied in intimating that Republican papers were the first to publish the scandal. The Sentinel should turn its attention to the Rochester Union, Democratic, and to William Purcell, Democrat, to the Buffalo Telegraph, independent, and to the preachers of Buffalo, regardless of party, before it seeks to fix the responsibility on the Republican party or any of its papers. If this is not enough, it might occupy itself for a time with Mr. Hendricks, Mr. Cleveland's co-candidate, the New York Post, now championing tho “reform” candidate, Adjutant-general King, of Governor Cleveland’s staff, the report of the investigating committee, none of whom make any pretense of denying that the charge, as originally the Rochester Union, Democratic, is true. No Republican has had more to do with the Cleveland nastiness than to republish matter from Democratic sources. If this be damaging, the Democratic party has but itself to blame for making such a disgraceful nomination.

Calkins, the Republican candidate for Governor of Indiana, will address the citizens of Indianapolis to-night at the Park Theater. The bare announcement of this fact is sufficient to draw an audience three or four times as large as the theater will accommmodate. Previous to the meeting there will be a street parade and demonstration of organized and uniformed clubs of various kinds. The line of inarch is published in our city columns. If the night shall be propitious, the meeting and the street parade will show that Indianapolis is awake and “marching on.” Hon. Stanton J. Peelle, candidate for Congress from this district, will also be present at the meeting. Calkins and Peelle: the Capital City will give them a taste of simon-pure Republican enthusiasm. When I was defeated in my own district, at Shelbyville, it was because I would not be a Know-nothing.—Gov. Hendricks's Connersville speech. Governor Hendricks must have known when he uttered the above that it was untrue. He was defeated, as he well knows, because of his vote for the repeal of the Missouri compromise. He knows that when that measure was pending in Congress a caucus of leading Dem-

ocrats of this city was held, and he was by said caucus requested not to vote for said bill. He further knows that his father, Major Hendricks, and his mother wrote him not to do so, and thal if he did he would fail of re-election. To their letter he answered, in substance, as we are informed: “The administration wants my vote for the bill. If I vote for it, and the people refuse to re-elect me, the adjninistration will take care of me. I prefer to stand with the administration.” It was not Mr. Hendricks’s failure to be a Know-nothing that defeated him, but his vote for the repeal of that old compromise measure, at the dictation of the solid South, against the protests of his home political friends, as well as of his own father and mother.

WOULD IT PAY 7 flbe tariff has paralyzed the industries of the Nation, and thousands and tens of thousands of workingmen are idle because of it. If Morrison’s bill reducing the tariff had passed, new markets would have been found for American products, and fewer workingmen would have been idle to-day.—Louisville Courier-J ournaL Let it be admitted that not only tens of thousands but jnillions of workingmen are idle because of the tariff, how is it going to help matters to remove the tariff and open the American market to English goods, which, made by cheaper labor, must undersell *and run out goods of American make? In tearing down the fence to get at fictitious new markets, we simply expose American men and mills to British competition. The American market of 55,000,000 would be worth to the British manufacturer ten times over what any remote and uncertain market might be to us. Better leave well enough alone. We are rapidly approaching the pricro that will enable us to compete with all the world, without stripping ourselves of our defenses and exposing ourselves to a very dangerous rival. The tariff has so encouraged competition among American manufacturers that prices of manufactured goods are lower than evor before. It is but another step in the regular line of trade to that point where we shall meet the world on its own footing. But there is no need of running risks. We have trebled our manufactures under protection; we employ twice as many hands and pay better wages by 30 percent.; we buy the products of the mills at a lower rate than ever. What more do we want! Would it be wise to upset our national polity to enter on a wild-goose chase for the trade of the tribes of central Africa!

Read the Sunday Journal to-morrow—Price three cents. OUR IHSANITY LAWS. The Journal has maintained and still believes that William C. Rhinelander, on trial to prove his mental soundness, is one of the sanest members of his purse-proud, aristocratic family. Realizing the danger he is in of being committed as a lunatic because of the influence of his father’s family, who want to get rid of his plebeian wife, he makes the following appeal, which speaks for itself. It is a remarkable document, and strongly exposes one of the most dangerous and disgraceful features of our laws—that a sane man may so easily be adjudged a lunatic in spite of all he can do to disprove it: "A monstrous outrage is about to be consummated. A citizen of the United States is liable to be deprived, of his civil rights and privileges by a commission of three men, in whose hands his destinies have been placed, who need not even be unanimous in reporting his insanity. Is not this a peculiar case in which the interference of the powers and people may be expected! A man commits an act which makes necessary an issue between himself and the people. An opulent family interposes at the time of his arraignment aud pleads his indictment, and the people are disconnected with the case. Then the issue is not the people’s but Rhinelander vs. Rhinelander. The indictment for felonious assault is displaced and the issue becomes insanity. No man can be incarcerated for an extended period of time save by trial by jury. Infamous, indeed, is the statute by which a citizen of this Republic can lose all his rights of citizenship, be confined for an unlimited period, and legally killed by a commission. I think I may ask that this great wrong may be brought through the press, that has always been conservative of liberty, to the notice of the people, that it may be’ by them righted. America protects the liberties of her citizens abroad. Will she not protect their liberties at home! When a man is about to be cut off from all social and civil and legal existence, may he not call upon his fellow-citizens to take measures to prevent the outrage!”

Nineteen murderers in the Cincinnati jail. Six have been sentenced to be hanged, beginning with Ben Johnson, the burker, who swings next Friday. Five have been sentenced to the and eight remain to be tried. If it could be arranged to have one hanged Nov. 21, Cincinnati would enjoy the sensation of having an official hanging every two weeks from now until Christmas. Mrs. Parnell, while of opinion that Irishmen should vote for Cleveland, is free to oon fess that “the members of the Irish national party are mostly in favor'of Blaine." She thinks, too, that were her son, Charles Stewart Parnell, a resident of this country he would be neutral. Hardly; the pluck and push of the Plumed Knight would be sure to win his admiratiou. 'Maine votes on Monday next. Four years ago at this election the State was carried against the Republicans by a majority of 651. Two years ago the Republicans earned the State by 6,886. From these figures it will be seen how absurd it is for Democrats to argue that the Republicans must carry the State on

Monday next by 10,000 or 12,000. Maine will give a majority that will “stun” those who think Mr. Blaine isn’t popular in his own State.

Lord Rayleigh, president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, is recognized as one of the most eminent mathematicians now living. His address at the opening of the Montreal meeting, on the 27th ult., was a clear and admirable sketch of the progress made within the last few years in the several departments of physical science. The main subjects presented were the various applications of electricity, the mechanical theory of heat, the dissipation of energy, the nature of gageous viscosity, the telephone, the phonograph, the scientific work of J. Clerk Maxwell, the true character of science and the relative value of classical and scientific studies. The distinguished speaker closed his address with the following remarks on the question—often referred to with interest in recent years—whether the study of physical science naturally tends to materialism: “There Is one objection often felt to a modernized education, as to which a word may not be without use. Many excellent people are hfiuid of science as tending towards materialism. That such apprehension should exist is not surprising, for unfortunately there are writers, speaking in the name of science, who have set themselves to foster it. It is true that among scientific men, as in other classes, crude views are to be met with as to the deeper things of nature; but that the lifelong beliefs of Newton, of Faraday, and of Maxwell, are inconsistent with the scientific habit of mind, is surelv a proposition which I need not pause to refute. It would be easy, however, to lay too much stress upon the opinions of even such distinguished workers as these. Men who devote their lives to investigation, cultivate a love of truth for its own sake, and endeavor instinctively to clear up, and not, as is too often the object in -business and politics, to obscure a difficult question. So far the opinion of a scientific worker may have a special value; but I do not think that he has a claim, superior to that of other educated men, to assume the attitude of a prophet. In his heart he knows that underneath the theories that he constructs there lie contradictions which he cannot reconcile. The higher mysteries of being, if penetrable at all by human intellect, require other weapons than those of calculation and experiment “Without encroaching upon grounds appertaining to the theologian and the philosopher, the domain of natural science is surely broad enough to satisfy the wildest ambition of its devotees. In other departments of human life and interest, true progress is rather an article of faith than a rational belief; but in scienoe a retrograde movement is, from the nature of the case, almost impossible. Increasing knowledge brings with it increasing power, and great as are the triumphs of the present century, we may well believe that they are but a foretaste of wnat discovery and invention have yet in store for mankind. Encouraged by the thought that our labors cannot be thrown away, let us redouble our efforts in the noble struggle.”

The committee appointed by the Indiana Editorial Association at a special meeting held in the Lahr House, LafAyette, on Thursday, Sept 4, 1884, while in that city to attend the funeral of the late W. S. Lingle, for so long a member and president of the association, submits the following minute: The Indiana Editorial Association sorrowfully records its deep sense of loss in the death of William Summerfield Lingle. The oldest editor of the State in continuous service.he was the oldest in membership in this association, foremost in the fidelity of his attendance upon its meetings, in the warm interest he ever manifested in its work, and in the efforts he contributed to its efficiency and success. In his career as an editor he followed an advanced and advancing standard of professional honor; in his personal friendships aud associations with his fellow-members he was always scrupulously courteous and helpful, and with rare grace and amiability wore the white flower of a stainless life. No member could be more missed from our counsels than he, none more sincerely mourned, none whose memory oould be more tenderly cherished and honored, With a keen sense of our own loss, mourning the seemingly untimely death of a stalwart,courageous, accomplished, yet, withal, singularly genial and kindly editor, we venture to offer the warmest personal sympathy to the bereaved family of our beloved associate and friend.

Tbat this minute be spread on record by the secretary, and a certified copy furnished Mrs. Lingle, and that it be published in all the papers of the State. That at the next meeting of the Editorial Association a memorial be prepared and read as a part of the regular programme of proceedings. E. W. Halford, ) A. F. Philips, t Committee. S. Metcalf. } The committee also, by order of the association, desire to make special acknowledgment of the courtesy of Mr. Joseph W. Sherwood, superintendent of the C., L St. L. &C. railway, for the special train which carried the members of the association to Lafayette and return on the day of Mr. Lingle’s funeral; also to Mr. J. F. Wallick, superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Company, for favors in telegraphy. Thanks are also due for the varied attentions received by the members of the association from the press and citizens of Lafayette, especial mention being made of the kindness of Mr. H. L. Wilson, of the Journal, chairman of the local press committee. The Butler campaign badge is a red rose upon a green leaf. The managers of the boom are hereby given permission to issue, in connection with the badge, the following refrain adapted from Swinburne —tho same to be sung by voters: If Ben were what the rose is, And we were like the leaf, “We alls" might hang together Till gray November weather; And Blaine chills had nipped our Moses, And Blled him full of grief; If Ben were that sweet thing the rose is And we voters green, like the leaf. ’ They do these things better in Spain, if not In France. Petitions for reprieves and pardons don’t seem to be popular. During the twentyfour hours preceding the execution of the officers lately convicted of mutinous conspiracy in Spain, all the stores were closed and the balconies draped in black. The venerable archbishop went in full canonicals, followed by thousands, to the Governor's residence to im-

plore mercy for them. Large placards hung everywhere inscribed: “Pardon for Major Ferrandez and Lieutenant Valles. ” The extraordinary interest their case excited consisted in the fact that the court-martial had condemned them to prison for life in chains, but the government objected to the sentence as too lenient, sent all the judges (officers) who composed the court to prison for two months in a fortress for pronouncing such an inadequate (!) sentence, and had the men executed. The Omaha Republican says: “As was to be expected, the dirty Indianapolis Journal comes into court and asks for more time before proceeding to trial.” This is a sad blunder. The Indianapolis Sentinel is the paper the Omaha Republican undoubtedly refers to. The Journal is a stanch Blaine organ, and will never be seen in any court short of the court of St James. We think our Omaha contemporary will have to tender Col. John C. New a humble apology. —Chicago News. The mistake doubtless arose from the fact that the Journal is the only Indianapolis paper that is known outside the State. At a recent fashionable London wedding the bride and groom were so youthful that, according to an English paper, guests were heard to express a wonder whether they would like each other “when they grew up.” On this side the water the wonder in similar cases is supplemented by the assurance that if they shouldn't it will be easy enough to get a divorce. *The current number of Harper's Weekly gets in its accustomed, "dig” at the Irish. Hoping to still further hurt Blaine in the esteem of ‘independent Republicans,” he Is represented as an Irishman, clothed in the costume of the peasantry of that laud. The artist, with more discretion than the publishers, omits to subscribe his name.

Shielville, Ind. “Waving the bloody shirt” was a Democratic cry, started to sneer the discussion of the issues of the war out of political debates. Buchanan's Cabinet was composed as follows: Lewis Cass, Michigan, Secretary of State; Howell Cobb, Georgia, Secretary of the Treasury; Jacob Thompson, Mississippi, Secretary of the Interior; Isaac Toucey, Connecticut, Secretary of the Navy; John B. Floyd, Virginia, Secretary of War; Jeremiah S. Black, Pennsylvania, At torney-general, and Aaron V. Brown, Tennessee, Postmaster-general. Cobb, Thompson, Floyd and Brown joined their fortunes with the Confederacy and went into rebellion.

To the Editor of tho Indianapolis Journal: Please name the first newspaper published in Indianapolis; or name several of the earliest newspapers, with the time they were started and the names of the editors and publishers. Daleville, Ind. A Reader. The Indianapolis Gazette was the first paper published here, and it made its appearance on Jan. 28, 1822. The publishers were George Smith and Nathaniel Bolton. In the spring of 1830 the Indiana Democrat was started by Alexander F. Morrison. The two were consolidated, and in 1841 the name was changed to the Sentinel. Oh the 7th of March, 1823, the first number d£' the Western Censor and Emigrants’ Guide appeared, by Harvey Gregg and Douglass Maguire. The name was soon changed to the Journal, which it has since borne. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: L Has anybody been convicted and sent to the penitentiary who was in any way connected with the Morey letter. 2.

The Buffalo Express thinks that Hendricks is trying to crowd Cleveland off the ticket His boldness in taking the stump, and his letter to a Dubuque. Democrat, certainly favor that view. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: If the Democratic national committee oould persuade Hendricks that silence is golden, the Democrats might have some chance of carrying Indiana in November. The plan of making an appeal to the party for a popular oampaign fund has been adopted by the lowa Republicans, and every farmer, mechanic and professional man is to be asked to contribute. Blaine's letter: It is not in the interest of the Republic that any eoonomic system should be adopted which involves the reduction of wages to the hard standard prevailing elsewhere. The Republican party aims to elevate aud dignify labor—not to degrade it The Chicago Times remarks that it “has been the persistent misfortune of Mr. Hendricks's career of politician that his ambition to be President has transcended his fidelity to the principles of morality that ought to guide even professional politicians in their relations of mutual confidence and trust"

It is charged by the Boston Pilot that General Bragg, the Wisconsin congressman, said at the Democratic national convention that “the Irish might go to h—and that he has repeatedly advised his party to cut loose from this race. It looks as if the Irish were cutting loose from Democracy, at any rato. Oodknsburo (N. Y.) Journal: That Mr. Cleveland is in some respects and places a strong candidate cannot be dented. He is making a splendid run in Canada, and his popularity in London continues unabated. He is also developing unexpected strength in the West Indies, and is regarded with considerably more favor in the City of Mexico than is Mr. Blaine. New York Tribune: The dependents who have yearned unutterably to have ex-President Woolsey, of Yale, decline to act as an elector on the Republican electoral ticket, will have to pull through with that yearning unsatisfied. The venerable ex-president declares tbat he shall vote for Blaine of course; and he does not see how any one can support Cleveland. Gone to join the other “riff raff" that surrounds Blaine! New York Tribune: The struggle in Maine is nearly over. The Democrats are spending money, as they did four years ago. Failing to convince the people by argument, they are trying to corrupt them by bribery. The free trade bolters hnve organized, scattered circulars and slanders all over the State, and pretend to have a support amounting to thousands of votes. If with a full vote they fail to give tho Stato to the Democrats, it will be a proof that their boasts are false and their slanders vain and fruitless. Not since 1872 has there been such activity among tho Republicans and tho Liberals of North Carolina as this year. The enthusiasm for Blaine is simply wonderful, even iu the west em counties, whore ttaf' population is mostly white. Tho two candid-, -a for Governor, York

and Scales, have already had twenty joint debates in public. The tariff, internal revenue taxes and the education bill are the chief topics of discussion. Senator Plumb, who has visited the State recently, and is particularly conversant with the situation, would not be surprised to see Blaine receive 20,000 majority there.
