There is some reason to hope that Jacob Sharp's health will begin to mend, now that his sentence has been pronounced. Mb. Simeon Coy says it is very comfortable in jail. We mention this for the benefit of persons who are seeking a cool place. The future oi Indianapolis depends on the development of its manufacturing interests. That is the objective point v& must work to. There never wis a better time to advertise the advantages of Indianapolis than the present. An organized effort in that direction might bring astonishing results. ' ? The tally-sheet forgery cases will be argued before J ustice Ilarlan, to-day, on Simeon Coy's application for a writ of habeas corpus. His decision will probably be rendered soon. THE jubilee fun in England seems to have but fairly begun. It is not likely to be ended until the Queen has paid the piper, and if she knows herself she won't settle until there is a big rebate in the bills. - ' Mr, Cleveland desires the people of h: United States to watch the high office' ot President. , Mr. Cleveland is doing a pretty good job in that line himself, but the office is likely to get away from him for all that. Mr. Cleveland confessed to the people of Clinton, N. Y., that he was subject to human frailty and error.- There is nothing in the dispatches to show - that they were overwhelmed by the alarming disclosure. The strength of the Anti-poverty Society will soon be demonstrated when it is shown whether or not members of .the Catholic Church, who have flocked after McGlyun, will themselves risk excommunication by continuing to associate with him. Mr. Cleveland assures a listening people that if they will watch well the high office of President-and its incumbent, they will be performing a . sacred duty to themselves and to those who come after them. Mr. Cleveland needn't feel at all worried about this. The country has its eye on him and will not neglect its sacred duty. THE topics of the papers to which the 8,000 achool teachers at Chicago are listening this week are enough to cause the average citizen to gasp for breath this warm weather. . If school ma'ams were not fitted with intellects warranted not to droop in any climate, the combined effects of so much philosophy and science might be fatal. This is an age of intense competition. No benefit or advantage is secured without great effort backed by great intelligence. This applies to cities as well as to corporations and individuals. Other cities are pressing forward in the race to secure new manufacturing enterprises and other advantages. Indianapolis must be moving or 6he will get left in the race. Sam Jones, the so-called revivalist, is preaching in Kentucky at the rate of fifty and seventy-five cents for each hearer. When business is poor he abuses his audience. At New Castle,, be is .reported as saying: "The people here have disappointed me, and I intend to tell you that, as for any good the Lord is likely to receive, you are not worth hell room." Very few actors, dare to abure their audiences like that. Mr. Carter, the Hawaiian minister at Washington, says concerning the late revolution: "There are no public meetings in Hawaii, and the King has no way of telling the feeling of the people; but when he saw 3,000 men march up, on the 1st of July, and demand a change in the Cabinet, he recognized that the public had lost confidence in it, and Immediately ordered a new Ministry." That teems like rather a crude way of ascertaining public opinion. The King ought to have a man like Col. Dau Latnont to keep a scrapbook, and let him know what the people are laying. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Professor Tyndall, attacking Mr. Gladstone, says he Las received numerous letters from all parts of America on the Irish homerule question end they all recommend the utmost resistance of Mr. Gladstone's policy, lie refers to Mr. Gladstone as "a" desperate gamester, miscalled statesman," and intimates that Intelligent Americans do not support Mr. Gladstone and the policy of home rule. In order to give any force or weight to this statement Trof. Tyndall should givo the names of his American correspondents. If there are any intelligent Americans who oppose Mr. Gladstone and the policy of home Jul let us know who they are. In tho matter of choosing a successor to Iltnry Ward Beecher Plymouth Church will be hard to plea. While the members will not expect to find another like him they will unconsciously measure the qualifications of every candidate for their favor by those of their lamented pat tor, and ono who seems to pproach nearest to that standud will be most

likely to meet with their approval. In all the country there is, perhaps, no minister who resembles Mr. Beecher in so many particulars as does the Rev. Myron W. Reed, who is now

on his way to Brooklyn, where he will preach two sermons in Plymouth Church. In no sense an imitator , of the great preacher, he has many characteristics similar to those which were the Plymouth pastor's distinguishing peculiarities. He is an independent think er, he is original in thought and style of argumept; he is eloquent, he is unconventional, and he has the happy faculty of inspiring his hearers with a warm personal regard for him self. There may be some question in the minds of his friends 83 to whether, after so long a residence in Western cities, he would find Brooklyn altogether suited to his tastes as a place of reaidence, but there is no ques tion that if he should go there as the succes sor of Mr. Beecher the pulpit would be well filled. , THE PUNISHMENT OF SHAfiP. The scene at the sentencing of Jacob Sharp yesterday was dramatic. A man of seventy, broken and tottering under the weight of years and of a merited conviction for crime, surrounded by his grieving and devoted family and cowering before the gaze of a curious multitude while the court pronounces the penalty of the law, is a strong and moving picture. It is evident that the judge and the district attorney were touched by the solem nity of the scene, but they did not shrink from their duty. The sentence of four years in the penitentiary and a fine of $5,000 is none too severe for Sharp's crime. A strong effort has been made to get him off on the score of his age and feeble health, but it failed as it deserved to. There is a suspicion in some quarters ' that Sharp was not as sick as he pretended to be. District Attorney Martine said two or three days ago that he did not believe he was. "Of course," added the district attorney, "he is an old man, and his nerves have had a terrible shaking up and the prospect of Sing Sing is not conducive to health. But I'll be bound that were he not under the shadow of a prison he would be playing poker in the Blossom Club as of yore. I consider myself a humane man, and if it could be shown that there were any real reason for the exercise of clemency in his case I should be first to ask the court to be lenient. But if he is sick he will be better cared for in Sing Sing than in Lmdlow-street jaiL As to his age, is it less pitiful to see a young man just starting out in life, fallen into vicious ways and sent to pass the prime of his manhood in a convict's cell than it is for this man who has been notoriously courting one all his life?" This is spoken like a man who .places duty higher than maudlin sympathy, and District Attorney Martine has shown himself that kind of a ' man. Judge Barrett has also done his duty in this celebrated case in a thoroughly satisfactory manner. In spite of the utmost efforts of a powerful opposition, aided by unlimited means and corrupt instrumentalities of every kind, the law has been fully vindicated and a great criminal has received his deserts. Bribery has been made odious in , New York as it ought to be everywhere. . There seems to have been an expectation on the part of Sharp's friends and sympathizers" that the court would relent and inflict a merely nominal punishment. It is easy to see how this feeling has arisen. Mr. Sharp has occupied a different position in society from that held by the men now in Sing Sing for having accepted the bribes which he offered them. He was not only wealthy, but he was, for many years, a respectable citizen of New York, as respectability is rated in these days. He had money, and if he was not too scrupulous about his methods of aocummulating it no one of his associates investigated too closely or thought the worse of him, apparently, when his ways came casually to their knowledge. It was only when his "offenses against law and morals became so glaring that the courts had to take cognizance of them that public attention was called to consider the heinousness of the acts with which he was charged. Even then the sentiment aroused was not of the same character as that excited by the doings of the aldermen who were his partners in the crime. It Is unquestionably the case that the average conscience is not educated up to the point of regarding the bribe-giver with the same measure of indignation as that bestowed upon the bribe-taker, and for this reason, perhaps, as much as the advanced age and the illness of the accused, an impression that he would be treated with lenience prevailed in many quarters. But little serious thought was necessary to show that this hope rested upon slight foundations. Judge Barrett has shown himself to be an official of sternly judicial mind, and not to be moved by sentiment when justice is to be considered. Ill or well, young or old, Sharp had been proved guilty of a crime, for participation in which other men were serving terms in prison. To have discriminated in his favor by imposing a fine and no imprisonment, or by sending him to the penitentiary for a few months only, as it was hoped would be done, would have been a travesty upon justice. It would not only have nullified the excellent effect upon the community which was produced by the conviction of the aldermen, but would have strengthened the impression that bribegiving is a comparatively venial fault. Four years to a man of Jacob Sharp's age is as great a punishment, in point of time, as ten years to a younger man. In the actual suffering which the disgrace of imprisonment entails, his punishment is probably greater than that of the aldermen, inasmuch as he is a man of somewhat finer grain, and, so far as that is to be considered, he is entitled to a greater measure of pity. The effect upon the community, however, is the most important matter to be considered, and there is no question but that it will bo salutary. The lesson taught by the Jacob Sharp case will not soon be forgotten. Gov. Martin's pooclamation booming Kansas in general and Atchison in particular is something new In that line. It is the first time, we believe, that any Governor has issued a proclamation setting forth the advantages of his State and advertising its progress In material, moral, intellectual and spiritual

respects. If we venture to remark that the

Governor's letter was somewhat lacking in definite information concerning this year's blackberry crop in Kansas and failed to make any reference to the outlook for perimmons, it is because we wish to , avoid a spirit of captious criticism. Any deficiency rn general statistics of this nature . is more than compensated by the very comprehensive and detailed statement of the improvements of Atchison, the . Governor's home. We doubt if the Board of Trade of that city or a committee of its most intelligent real estate agents could have furnished a more complete inventory of its improvements, present and prospective. Some might wish that the Governor had been a little more explicit in regard to "the largest lumber-yard of: the West, recently located" there, and also con cernine: tne Kin a or new street improve ments of which he says so many miles are being built. But these are minor defects and are more than compensated by the fullness of his statement in other respects. Gov. Martin has struck out on a new line, and as guber natorial duties are pretty dull just now, it is possible that the Governors of other States will hasten to imitate his example. In that event we trust Gov. Gray will try and make as captivating a schedule of Indiana s resources and advantages as possible. If it is to be a race among the Governors as to which shall blow the biggest horn and blow it the loudest and longest, we don't want Indiana to be left behind. Meanwhile we do not ad vise any citizen of Indiana to sell out at a sacrifice and incontinently remove to Kansas on the strength of Gov. Martins proclamation Wait till the'returns are all in. What may be called the Sherman issue continues to be the general theme of discus sion among Ohio Republicans. The question is whether he should be formally indorsed for the Presidency by the Republican convention soon to meet. The authoritative statement of Mr. Sherman's own views and wishes in the matter seems to have greatly weakened the opposition and the indications are that by the time the convention meets there will be very little of it left. The general feeling evidently is that if he desires the indorsement of the convention he is fairly entitled to it. In the face of his direct and manly state ment on the subject the question whether it is good politics or not has taken a secondary place. Thu3 Governor Foraker, while preferring not to be interviewed on the subject added, "however, now that it .has been definitely decided to introduce the resolution of indorsement it is all right, but I still retain my opinion, as previously expressed, that it is not well advised. I am for Sherman, and be lieve that as he is the most, interested he is entitled to decide whether to have it done or not." The Cincinnati Commercial of yesterday says: "The convention will be called upon to in-' dorse Sherman or refuse. The time has come-1 to sett' this matter. An overwhelming ma-: jority of the Republicans of Ohio favor Sher man as a candidate for the Presidency. Ibis is generally believed. We believe it. If it is not so, let it be proclaimed, and eherman s , friends will see that he withdraws from the. field. This issue has been forced upon the party by a faction, and the time has come to settle it. Neither Sherman nor his friends have forced it. The professed friends of Blaine are, in opposing the indorsement of Sherman, doing what Blaine would not advise and what he cannot afford. Let-it be under stood, therefore, that this opposition to John Sherman in Ohio is not in favor of Blaine. It is something more and something outside of that, and it has a deeper and more far-reaching meaning. The Republicans cannot afford to ignore Sherman at Toledo They must either indorse him or refuse to do so, and take the conse quences, ihe mends or onerman are reaay to meet the issue, and if we are not misininformed the real friends of Blaine and the true friends of the Republican party are. entirely agreed with the friends of Sherman." SOME defect in the law prevents the criminal prosecution of the Philadelphia bakers whose cakes, mixed with chrome-yellow, have caused the death of several people, but there is nothing to prevent the bringing of civil suits for damages against them by surviving members of the several afflicted families, or by those who have themselves suffered from the effects of the drug, and this is being done in a number of cases. Suits for damages have also been brought against the druggists who supplied the bakers with chrome-yellow, and these have a prospect of being successful. The termination of these suits will be watched with interest, and should damages , be awarded, dealers in food adulterations everywhere will be more cautious in their sales and will at least limit the quantity of deadly drugs which they keep for such purposes. ' The Journal's anxiety for honest elections, for fair trials, ' is well understood in this community, and has about the same value as old Bill Henderson's professions as a reformer. Sentinel. Thanks. We are quite willing tobeassociated with "old Bill Henderson." Anyhow, he has managed to keep out of jail, thus far. A concern In Montreal calling itself the "Grand Legal Lottery" has been broken up by the police, who found among current piles several thousand letters from dupes in all parts of the United States. The breed of fools who invest in lottery tickets never dies out The habit springs partly from an irresistible desire to beat somebody out of money, petting something for nothing, and partly from the (rambling instinct. The man who invests "in a lottery is at heart part thief and part gambler. The proprietors of the lottery are the same, only more so. The circular of this Montreal concern set forth that "Our drawings are conducted on the same honorable principles as banking institutions, and are perfectly legal, being protected by the laws of the v province." But the financial scents were not strong enough in their faith to wait and test the truth of their statements, for the police, though they searched far and near, could find no trace of them.

An Albany physician has made a singular discovery. He say be has noticed a failing in the muscular power of many business men, and on inquiry found that they had been using typewriters or stenographers instead of writing their own letters. This, strange as it may appear, has deprived, the physician says, business men of a little very desirable mmeular exercise of the right arm, and has to some extent affected their general health. The observation of the physician seems to have been extraordinarily acute. William Gibson, M.

New York Tribune. It is claimed by the Henry George people that they have 75.000 voters enrolled in New York city. This does not signify that they can elect a President; but it does imply that they probably have it in their power to put several worms in the lettuce of Grover Cleveland, should he be a candidate for a second term. St Louis GlobeDemocrat - . John Sherman is no rag baby to be kicked about by aspiring politicians. He is the foremost Republican not only in Ohio, but in the Nation, and can not be remanded to a back seat by anybody, young or old, inBideor outside of the State.

The State of Maine is still struggling for the enforcement of the liquor lawsfthat are not en forced. There was a new batch passed in the session of last winter, but these do not achieve a bit more ot results than did the lot that preceded them. There is one point that, it seems, the men who make temperauoe legislation there have not comprehended, and it is that the operation of law has been stretched to its extreme ' limit It cannot be carried further; indeed, the tendency is rather in the other direction. It is only in primitive communities that the enforcement of the prohibitory law is possible, and the further the march of population takes communi ties out of them, the greater are the difficulties encountered. Boston Herald. Everywhere the collapse of arbitration, es pecially of the kind provided by State interfer ence, is noted by the press and by students of industrial and social problems. The labor organizations seem to be eveu less disposed to invoke its aid and abide by its results than are employers of labor. The feeling is evidently almost universal that no third person can be so. well qualified to decide questions of wages and employment as the parties most directly concerned, and the general unwillingness to accept the decisions of arbitors is largely due to the fact that both sides usually feel that they have ,bi ?n cheated by the incompetence of the supposedly neutral members of the arbitration committee.

JACOB SHARP'S PUNISHMENT!

The Big Bribe-Giver Sentenced to Serv Four If ears in the State Prison, And Ordered to Pay a Fine of $5,000 Hit Connsel Apply for a Stay of Proceedings, . Which Judffe Potter Finally Grants. New York, July 14. Jacob Sharp slept b tte last night than for some nights previous, but it seemed to be the sleep of utter exhaustion, and he appeared to be but little refreshed by if when he arose this morning at 9 o'clock. Hit wife sat by bis bedside through the night, fanning him wnile he was ' asleep and giving him cooling drinks when he woke at intervals. After he arose from bed she assisted him to dress for his second trip to the Court of Oyei and Terminer to receive sentence. He bore the same listless, Indifferent almost dazed manner noticeable in him since his conviction. He appeared almost unconscious of the attention his wife lavished on him, and scarcely exchanged a word with her. ; Sharp remained sitting in hit reclining chair, with his wife beside him fanning him, until the hour came at whioh he was to start for the court-house. He had been able to take but little nourishment, and was very weak.' - " It was 11:30 o'clock wheu the carriage drovo away from the jail, and just twenty miuutes later it stopped before the county court-house. The party alighted and passed through the lane made for them by the police through the waitin) wd of curious spectators to? the sheriffs offt f i thence to the court-room. Sharp was so v. i that in going, to the carriage from the jail and on leaving it on his way into the courthouse, and up the stairs to-the court-room, it. was necessary for the officers guardiug him to support his tottering form. Judge Barrett, whose illness yesterday compelled a postponement of the sentence of the convicted man, had recovered sufficiently to-day to be-present in court Ha arrived at the court house aff almost the same moment as the prisoner. The clock was indicating almost noon when Sharp was carried into? the court-room. His suffering wife and son-in-law were close J behind blm, and' deep lines of weariness and sorrow over spread their' faces as they seated, themselves beside the convicted man and fanned his livid face without bringing anything like a aemblanee o color back to it His grandson took the same seat he occupied during the long trial, and lawyers Nelson,: Stickney and Parsons seated themselves on the righ of their client, opposite his wife and relatives. ; . Sharp sat with clasped hands and bowed -head at the foot of the table facing the benocul ' His face, almost buried in his chest, became flushed and sickly looking, under the riveted." gaze of all present, who were silently staring at' the convicted railroad king. Mrs. Sharp and the rst of his family, like the prisoner himself, were silent The excitement was! becoming quite feverish when a sudden hush came over the room as three raps on the door announced the entrance of Judge Barrett After calling the court to order Mr. Martine got up and ,statel that as he beard the defense had some re marks to make, he wished to hear them. Mr. Mitchell responded, saying that ha had no application to put in for delay, but would move for a new trial, and wished the stenographer to make a note of the fact, Judge Barrett said that it . the document , contained nothing new he would dony the application for a new 'trial. - ' Mr. Mitchell then read" a paper stating that the trial was an nnfair one in several ways: tht jury was prejudiced against the client and gave, an unfair verdict Moreover, tht juage s cnarge was an unjust one. Several other points were raised, but of the sterotyped variety. Judge Barrett stated that the motion would be denied. - . " ' District Attorney Martine then stood up to move the court to sentence the prisoner. He stated he considered it his dnty to ask the court to appoint physicians to look into the pr -onsr a condition of health, and read soma certificates from Doctors Allen, Hamilton, and Janeway to the effect that the prisoner's health was very bad, and that he was suffering from diabetes, inflammation of the kidneys, and organic disease of the heart, which were of serious import to a man of seventy years. He then read Doctor Hamilton's report on the condition of Sing Sing, and the arrangements for the care of the sick. . which, be said, were of a most excellent character all around, and the place was most healthily situated. "In view of these facts," concluded Mr. Martine, "there is nothing left for me to do bnt to BDove for the sentencing of the prisoner." Mr. Mitchell then stood up to make a last appeal for the defense. He said he did not wish, to delay the court, but would . ask the judge tc temper justice with merey. Judge Barrett then proceeded to deliver : the sentence. He said that he had never performed so delicate a task in his whole professional career. He had received many letters from many people pleading for merey and otherwise, but a eourt was not appointed to be merciful any more than was dictated by the laws of justice. A judge is appointed to award penalty in accordance to the offense when all ,tba circumstances connected with the commission of the offense have ' been, duly .weighed and considered. The defendant here is asking for mercy, but can give nothing as a plea for clemency but age and sickness. On the merits of the case he certainly is entitled to none. It is absurd to state that he was not guilty of giving the bribes, as he wae unmistakably the leader of the whole affair. We have not here, as in the ease of the aldermen, any attempts to prove the defendant's good character. The crime itself was an enormous one the raising of half a million dollars to corrupt half a legislature. Judge Barrett reviewed the corrupt action of the defendant in forming a bogus company to contract with the Seventh-avenue Railway, ot which he was a director, and referred to the defendant's securing a million of dollars of profit by sheer larceny, for which he could have been indicted just as well for bribery. "What is there to excite pity or mercy except the age and ill- , health of the prisoner and the mourning condi- . tlon of his family! With over $1,000,000 in his I pocket he clamors for mercy without offering to 1 pay back a penny stolen. Should be die in prison, his family has a vast fortune to rail back upon." ' . At this Mrs. Sharp buried her face in her hand kerchief and wept silently, while the prisoner himself did not lift his face from the table. "The Legislature does not allow us to go below the minlraun penalty in such a grave offense ae the present is," continued Judge Barrett; "all cannot be satisfied those who clamor for tbe prisoner's receiving the full penalty of the law and those calling for a reprimand. All thinge have been considered, and tbe judgment of this court is that the prisoner be eon fined four years at hard labor, and that he pay a fine of $5,000," An attempt at applause was made in one corner of the court as tbe sentence was pronounced, but it was quickly suppressed. As some of the spectators moved out of court. Mr. Mitchell stood up to ask for a delay in tbe removal of Sharp to Sing Sing until he had settled . some affairs in the city. Judge Barrett denied the motion, as there was no provision of law for such a course of action, and he did not think it would be deserved by the prisoner if there waa At that moment a cheer was beard outside as the sentence was announced by those who had left the court-room. The audience then began to melt away quickly. The sentence had ben pronounced at 1:04 o'clock. At 1:10 nearly ell tbe mere curiosity-seekers bad Itft the courtroom. At 1:13 there was another excitement of momentary duration as the prisoner was led out of the court-room, still 5 followed by h'.s faithful wife, soo-in-law and grandson. He was half led, half carried from the eourt-room by Mr. Selmet, his coachman. Warden Keating, Deputy Curren, and Undr Sheriff Sexton keeping close to his side, lie was taken to Sheriff Grant's office, in the bas ment of the court bouse. It was decided, atter Sharp had left the court-room, that he was t be returned to Ludlow-street JaiL Ae it wae for one nlebt only, the court considered it would not be anything too great in the way of a concession to allow him to stay in that place rather than to send him to the Tombs.
