THE si!k-fla handkerchief knotted around tbe girl of the period's neck is much more becoming than a red and yellow bandanna, as many of them have already discovered. THE Sentinel ia very chipper in denying things it knows nothing about, but is discreetly silent aa to its own editorial advice to American workingmen to copy the economical habits of the Chinese. Gekehal. Harrison's residence is inconveniently small for the reception of the crowds of friends who come to pay their respects. After the 4th of March next he will occupy a larger bouae. The Sentinel has discovered at least two Democratic railroad men who will not vote for General Harrison. The Sentinel is doing the best it knows how, and, like the organist out West, should not be shot. The Democratic platform adopted at St Louis says the exclusion from our shores of .Chinese laborers has been effectually secured by treaty. That is so; and it is about the only truthf al declaration in the platform. King Milan, of Servia, wants a divorce from Queen Natalie on the ground that he has an Insuperable aversion to her. King Milan sould give points to the makers of the freein d -easy Illinois and Pennsylvania divorce 'aws. General Harrison is winning praise, even in Democratic quarters, for the grace and fitness of his little speeches to visiting delegations. As the Journal has before remarked, the Republican candidate is a man who will grow in favor the better he is known. The New York Star, easily the stupidest paper in the country at all times, is making Itself abnormally stupid by long editorials demonstrating the difference between the Caucasian and Mongolian races, and the necessity of excluding Chinese immigration. The Star seems to have an idea that the question has some relation to current politics. Mator Hewitt's recommendation that an American flag be placed on every school-house was a good one; but the present Republican campaign is likely to instill more patriotism and love of his country's banner into the American small boy than could be learned in an entire school course. The educational valoe of the campaign to the rising generation will be great. THE Providence Journal, about whose alleged "change" so much is said, opposed Mr. Blaine In 1884, and for some time has been in control of a Democrat, who was a delegate to the St. Louis convention, and a member of the committee to notify Grover Cleveland of his renomination. The Democracy is welcome to all the comfort it can extract from th is "change. n A "well-known Republican journalist," who has just returned to New York from Chicago and Indianapolis, is quoted as saying that, in his opinion, Harrison will not carry Indiana. Journalists from the Last did not distinguish themselves by the accuracy of their predictions during the ante-convention period, and if the "distinguied journalist" quoted will take care of New York, which he is kind enough to say will give a majority for Harrison and Morton, the Hoouer Republicans will look out for Indiana, as they did at Chicago. THE Minneapolis Tribune admits that it can find no fault with General Harrison's speeches o far; but rather impertinently advises him to remember that "for him there is much wisdom in dignified silence pending a national . campaign," and adds: "Thus far in American history Mr. Blaine is the only man who has demonstrated his capacity to open his mouth without putting his foot in it." The esteemed Tribune is so blinded by hero-worship that a tlear page of history is blurred to its vision, (t has not been the custom in any Republican :ampaign for the presidential candidate to go on a stumping tour, as is common when seekIng minor offices; but there is no candidate who has cot ben obliged to express himself in public with some frequency in the interval between the nomination and election. Mr. Lincoln, for instance, made a number of speech, and made no mistake in so doing. General Grant never acquired the'art of public speaking until after his tour around the v world, but oreu he could and did give utterance to his thoughts in public without comriittinj fatal blunders. General GtrfUU u

famous for the felicity of his speeches made during his campaign. It is not on record, so far as the Journal is aware, that one of these gentlemen put their foot in It, as the Tribune elegantly asserts, on any occasion, when they opened their mouths. Mr. Blaine did well, but so did Lincoln, and so did Garfield, and so will Harrison. The Tribune may dismiss its fears.

Ton eannot sell any but the choicest cuts of baef, the superfine flour and the choicest coffee toN a miner or mechanic. The American laborer would do well to study the policy of the Chinaman in his poltey of economy as well s of cheap labor." INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL, 'The simple fact is. many things are made and sold now too cheap, for I hold it to be true that whenever the market price is so low that the man or the woman who makes it eannot get a fair living out of the making of it, it is too low." BENJAMIN HARRISON. H02T. JOHN M. BUTLER' 8 SPEECH. The Journal prints, this morning, the full text of the great speech delivered by Hon. John M. Butler, of this city, at a ratification meeting held In Kokomo, on the evening of the 26th of June, just after the nominations at Chicago. "We have said a great speech; and that is just what it is. It is a comprehensive examination of the political situation, a thorough and masterly analysis, a forcible grouping of facts and principles. It will serve as a storehouse of argument through the whole campaign. A great lawyer, Mr. Butler has brought to his task all his acumen and learning, bis professional skill and logic, and builded a speech which will not be excelled anywhere in the country during the present canvass. We commend it to the careful reading of all classes of people. "Tee American laborer would do well to tody the policy of tbe Chinaman in bis policy of economy as wU as of cheap labor." INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL "The simple fact is. many things are made and told now too cheap, for I hold it to be true that whenever the market price is so low that the man or tbe woman who rnakrs it eannot get a fair livine ont of -the making of it, it is too low." BENJAMIN HARRISON. MB. CUETI8 AHD THE BALLOT. Mr. George William Curtis in his scholarly address at the Gettysburg reunion, discussed briefly the suffrage question, which he rightly characterized as "the main spring; the heart of our national life' We quote a few sontences: "No community politically founded upon the legal equality of the suffrage can babitu ally disregard that equality without moral deterioration, growing indifference to the'authority of law, and destruction of t the democraticrepublican principle. If ignorance and semi-barbarous dominance be fatal to civilized communities, not less so is constant and deliberate defiance of law. In a national union of States where fair elections are assumed, systematic fraud or violence, or suppression of votes, in tbe event of a closely contested poll, would inevitably destroy the conviction that the apparent result represented the actual will of the legal voters, and that result would be challenged amid violent disorder. It is not enough that a national election be fair, it must be the national conviction that it is fair." This is well said, and in good form, as what Mr. Curtis says always is, but it seems to lack sincerity, and to stop a little short of conviction. Mr. Curtis was addressing an audience partly composed of Southern Democrats. The sentences above quoted evidently refer in a polite and distant way, to the condition of things in some of the Southern States, where Mr. Curtis, in common with all persons even tolerably well informed, knows that the Constitution and laws in regard to suffrage are flagrantly and habitually disregarded. Would it have been a violation of the proprieties of the occasion for him to have given, in addition to his glittering generalities and political maxims, a few facts and figures proving systematic fraud and violence in the suppression of votes? He could in a very few minutes have demonstrated that such a thing as a fair election is unknown in several Southern States, and that the suppressed Republican majorities in any one of them is many times greater than the majority by which Mr. Cleveland carried New York in 18S4. Perhaps a demonstration of this kind by Mr. Curtis would have been distasteful to his Southern hearers, but it would have been a good logical sequence to the carefully-worded sentences by which he skillfully avoided a conclusion, and left his convictions floating in mid air. Mr. Curtis's trouble grows out of the fact that he is a Republican who votes the Democratic ticket As an old-time Republican he has not yet got entirely rid of his convictions, nor out of the habit of denouncing wholesale and systematic fraud upon tbe suffrage; but as a supporter of Mr. Cleveland he cannot afford to denounce in plain terms the practices by which the Democratic party maintains its power in the South and to which Mr. Cleveland owes his present position, and the only hope he has of retaining it. Mr. Curtis labors under the difficulty of a man who is trying to face one way and walk the other. As a Republican backslider, once firm in the faith but now consorting with those who practice all that he used to condemn, Mr. Curtis can sadly say: I know the right and I apnrove it too, AbLor the wronr and yet the wrong partus. AS OBGAN OF MOBS AHD BI0T3. The Sentinel has been examining the files of the Indianapolis Journal for July, 1577, during the great railroad strike, and reprints several extracts from Journal editorials, among them, the following: July 27 In this city the indications are that the embargo will be completely removed to-day. The better judgment of the intelligent men engaged in the strike has shown that only disaster can come from the lawless course they have been pursuing, while the vicious and enruly element, who would have been giad to have precipitated violence, have been warned by the display of force now organized for the protection of the city and the enforcement of the law. July 23 Some of the leaders of the mob in Chicago have been arrested and will be made an example of. This should be done in all cities where riots havti occurred. It is a good time now to emphasize the fact that the law cannot be trampled upon with impunity. A score or so of communists should be tried, convicted and punished without unnecessary delay. That is what the Journal said then, what it indorsee now; and what it would say ag ain under similar circumstances. Fortunately the intelligent, law-abiding, conservative men among the strikers ' of IS77 saw the folly and dxaer of the tituatiyn, &d under their bound,

conservative influence and advice, aided by

the citizens' committee, of which General Harrison was one, together with Governor Porter, Mr. McDonald, Franklin Landers and the late Governor Baker, the strike ended, the tension was relieved, danger of riot and violence ceased, aud the militia, called outty a Democratic Governor the strikers themselres forming one company with the same purpose for the sole object of preserving the public peace and protecting life and property against tbe dangers of possible riot, dissolved, and that wa3 the end of the whole matter. The Journal said "Some of the leaders of the mob in Chicago had been arrested and will be made an example of. n This should be done in all cities where riots have occurred. Who objecis to thisT Does the Sentinel? Do the so-called "labor" tricksters and traders for whom the Sentinel speaks? If they do, then they are just what the Jour nal said they are house-burners, assassins and Anarchists at heart, lacking , only the courage and the opportunity 'to become such in fact. Let the Sentinel and Vits so-called "labor" allies continue to stand for mobs and riots if they desire to do so. Not many workingmen, and certainly no intelligent, honora ble, law-abiding workingman, will side with them in favor of lawlessness, anarchy, th destruction of property, and tbe overthrow of the social order and public peace in the reckless crimes of riotous mobs. American workingmen are not that kind of people. They stand for law, and for the protection of law. They know the value of protection to themselves, their labor, their homes, and their families. Those have their labor for their pains who endeavor to turn them into apologists for mobs and riots. He the American laborerl calls constantly for higher wares, and does not see that his high wage increase the cose of everything, lifting everybody higher and higher above ground, to fail further at th crah by and by." INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL "The simple fact is, many things are made and sold now too cheap, for I bold it to be true that whenever the market price is so low that tbe man or the woman who makes it cannot get a fair livine out of the making of it, it is too low." BENJAMIN HARRISON. DEMOCRATIC EDITORIALS. We. scorn any political association with any protectionist. No protectionist can be a Democrat at all. Our hope is in making the Democracy an out-and-out, thick and thin, aggrejsive, intolerant free-trade party, subordinating all issues to this, aqd thereby drawing to itself all citizens who have a true appreciation of this grand principle. New York World. No doubt this expresses the purpose and intention of the leaders of the Democratic party. American workingmen whose wages are largely dependent on the protection of American industry, and all who favor that policy, will take notice that the World says the Democratic party must be made "an out-and-out, thick and thin, aggressive, intolerant free-trade party." In such a party as that there is no standing-room for a patriotic American citizen. Tbe Sentinel, with its usual recklessness, asserts that the above extract from the World is "a mean, dirty, vicious contemptible, barefaced, characteristic Journal lie," and for good measure adds that "the New York World has said nothing of the kind nothing faintly approaching or resembling it." The Sentinel's reputation for truth and veracity is not good, and its violent asseverations do not affect the facts. The extract quoted at the head of this article is from an editorial in the New York World. By the way, if the Sentinel has any more adjectives left it might use a few in -denying the following editorial extract from its own columns: "High wages, high prices and a constant effort to make them all higher, is the mistake of the times. A rebellion against Chinese labor is impending in California, because the Chinaman can learn tbe trade and make shoes, or anything else, at half price, and get rich into the bargain. What is the secret of this? The Chinaman's policy is to live on next to nothing. He outflanks the American by cheap living. But the idea of anything cheap is repudiated by your American laborer. He looks at the stylo and luxury of the rich and works himself into a fury to live the same way. You cannot sell any b'lt the choicest of beef, the superfine flour and the choicest coffee to a miner or mechanic. He will have not the best in reality, but the most costly. He calls constantly for higher wages, and does not eee that his high wages increases the cost of everything, lifting everybody higher and higher above ground to fall farther at the crash, by and by. Tbe American laborer would do well to study tho policy of the Chinaman in his policy of economy as well as of cheap labor. "The Chinaman's policy is to live on next to nothing.

"The simnle fact 1?. many things are made and sold now too cheap, for I hold it to be true that whenever the market price is so low that tbe man or the woman who makes it cannot get a fair livine out of the makineof it. it is too low." BENJAMIN HARRISON. THE PROHIBITION FRAUDRev. (?) Adam Scott, the circuit-rider of Paris, Jennings county, who finds much time to abuse the Republican party, winces under the exposure of his old record, which he has evoked. Mr. Scott has a right to be a Prohibition partisan, and the Journal has no inclination to meddle with the exercise of that right; but when he poses aa a great patriot, and too pure to vote the Republican ticket because the position of the party on the temperance question does not suit him, the Journal takes occasion to show that the Republican party never did please him, and that he was just as bitter against it in war times as now. No one denies that he . had a right, in the trying days of 1SG4 and later, to cohabit with such patriots as Horsey and Heffren, and to ornament his album with the photo of J. Wilkes Booth, and to make speeches of which he is now ashamed; but the people have a right to know that his zeal against the Republican party is not new-born. The reverend (?) gentleman parades, in a card, with much delight, the fact that he was recently invited to preach a memorial sermon by a G. A. R. post What of that? Twenty-five years from now, if alive and wall, he may be invited to preach a temperance sermon, and laud the workings of wholesome temperance legislation, which others have made in spite of his present hostility. Brave men, such as the G. A. R., do not treasure cp animosities; but this has nothing to do with the fact that twenty -five ytira o ho wts a copperhead

of the most venomous type. . With a bluster that at once condemn:! him, he publishes in his card that he can produce 500 testimonials that the charges made by the Journal are false. So could Sim Coy prove by 500 cronies that he had nothing to do with the tally-sheet matter. Mr. Scott might as well have said 5,000. And then he proceeds to confess the only serious accusation made against him by the Journal, but apologizes by saying the photo of J. Wilkes Booth came to him from 6ome friends. Just so. Some friend knew what he would like, and sent him the photo. That is Mr. Scott's version of the story, but his old neighbors remember it differently. But no matter; twenty-five years ago he was, by his own confession, the owner of the photo in question. We have other recollections of the reverend (?) gentleman's politics twenty-five years ago, quite as damaging as this, but thoy are not needed now. He confesses that he was all that we have said of him.

"The idea of anything cheap is repudiated by yonr American laborer. He looks at the style and luxury of tbe rich and works himself into a fury to live the same way. Tbe American laborer would do well to study the policy of the Chinaman in his policy of economy, as well as of cheap labor." LNDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL. 'The simple fact is, man7 things are made and sold now too cheap, for I hold it to be true that whenever the market priie is ao low that the man or the woman who makes it eanoot get a fair living oat of the making of it, it is too low." BENJAMIN HARRISON. t CAMPAIGN LYRICS. Far be it from the Journal to check the tide of enthusiasm that leads to the writing of campaign poetry, but in its own behalf it is obliged to say that the exigencies of newspaper publishing forbid the giving of seven pages of its space each morning to verses of this character. There are people so curiously constituted as to be insensible to the charms of the most "jingly" verse, and these persons demand a certain amount of news and a portion of prose relating to the political situation and the Republican candidate with . their morning coffee. On this account the space devoted to poetry is necessarily limited, and many rhymes of the most inspiring and patriotic nature are unavoidably crowded out. In this condition of affairs the only advice the Journal can offer to its gifted contributors .13 to cut their productions short, say to four or eight lines, and then not to permit soaring ambition to be crushed or their patriotism to be chilled if the lines fail to appear in print Such disappointments have been the lot of all great poets, and in this case no one sympathizes with such pangs more deeply than the Journal, as it feeds the ever-growing waste-basket with the unavailable effusions. PEOPLE who make the American flag either for their own use or to sell should try and make it according to law. The national colors are always pretty, but the flag must conform to certain rules. The number of stripes must be thirteen, no more and no less, alternately red and white, which brings a red stripe at each outer edge. The Union con sists of a blue field, with a star for each State, the number at present being thirty-eight Originally the flag contained thirteen stars, then fifteen, and it was not till ISIS that a law was passed making the number of stars equal to the number of States. By the' way, it was the admission of Indiana to the Union in 1S1G that led to this change. The law does not designate the manner in which the stars shall be arranged. In the flags used by the army and War Department they are generally arranged in one large star, while in the navy flags they are set in parallel lines. The arrangement, however, is optional. Of the cheap flags now sold some contain more than the proper number of stars, and others less. In I860 the number of States and stars was thirty-three, in 1864 it was thirty-six, and in 186S thirty-seven, and since 1876 it has been thirty-eight. The law requires the addition of a star on the 4th of July following the admission of a new State. State Senator O'Brien, of New York, a Democrat, writes a letter in which he deprecates . the free-trade tendencies of the Democratic party, and warns Mr. Cleveland that American workingmen, whose bread and batter depend on the protection of American industries, will not vote in favor of a party that would ruin them. He says that already, in some of the manufacturing districts, Democratic workingmen are forming protection leagues, and adds: "A few hours ago a friend and a Democrat, now working in a factory on First avenue, where over two hundred voters are employed, said to me that if the Democrats succeeded in doing what the majority of thoso in Congress seemed determined to do, the mill where he was working would have to stop, and then he would be idle, and that, if he could not get other employment in a reasonable length of time, his family would be without the necessaries of life; and he turned-to me and said, with an earnestness that could not be mistaken: 'Mr. O'Brien, I am not going to be diverted from protecting my home and family by any such humbng as the cry "You want whisky free, and you want to tax the necesaries of life' Nor will 1 said he, vote for a candidate for Congress who will vote as Texas and Kentucky want him to vote. There they have black labor, fed on hog and hominy, and I am not willing to help men into office who want to force me and my family to their level.' " The Buffalo News, which supported Mr. Ctoteland four years ago, now. comes out for Harrison. Among ten reasons assigned for this change of base is the following: "Mr. Cleveland is not the man he was four years ago. Then he was an honest, simpleminded man, with no apparent purpose but to serve the people and make himself an honored name. He has developed what the boys call 'the big head' since then, and makes the same mistake Louis XIV is said to have made when he sat for a picture of the Creator of the world." Opinions may differ as to the correctness of the diagnosis of four years ago, but there is no question as to the gen ui nets of American contempt for sham and pretense when they are once discovered. The News has tho courage of its convictions. Hon. Levi P. Morton, Republican candidate for Vice-president, performed a service for American farmers, while minister to e France, which ought to win him many friends. particularly among Western farmers. This was getting American pork admitted into Franca. Whea h went thtro, and for teas time be

fore, it had been excluded. His predecessor had tried to have the order repealed, but without success. Mr. Morton madd it his first object to cultivate friendly relations with the French government, and soon obtained a personal prombs from the Premier that the American hog should have a showing in France, and shortly afterward ' the obnoxious order was repealed.

Unkind persons are pulling Mr. Thurman's speeches on him, and showing how they fail to fit into the plan of campaign as laid down by the mugwump end of the Democracy. Said Mr. Thurman, in 1872. when advocating Horace Greeley's election to the presidency: "My friends, you will never have any genuine reform in the civil service until yon can adopt the one-term principle in reference to the presidency. As long as the incumbent can hope for a second term, he will use tbe im mense patronage of the government to procure his renomination and secure re-election.. The presidential office is no longer, in the estima tion of many, a great public trust, but is merely a personal privilege and a means of re warding parasites and partisans and maintaining a party." This does not agree with the hypocritical mugwump claim that President Cleveland has observed the civil-service laws "as well as could be expected," and ought to be sup ported on account of his reform record; but it agtees mighty well with the facts in the case, and is in exact harmony with Mr. Cleveland's own celebrated remarks made four years ago in regard to a second term. From a Democratic stand-point it is a great pity Mr. Thur man ever made this speech. We adopt for ourselves the following clear definitions from the New York Sun, a Dem ocratic newspaper: "A protectionist is a revenue reformer. who proposes first to take of the internal revenue taxes and to bring tbe government br.ck to the sources of revenue which were relied upon previous to the civil war; and after that he would revise the tariff, always with the principle of protection uppermost ' ' "A free-trader is a revenue reformer who proposes first of all to reduce the taiiff duties on foreign goods and to maintain the internal revenue taxes untouched. The revision of the tariff he would put through with the principle of free trade with foreign nations uppermost. By steadily pursuing this policy, all strictly protective duties would be swept away in the course of. about twenty years, and the country brought substantially to in ternal taxation as its permanent mode of revenue. This would be equivalent to free trade' The movement started a few weeks ago for a national convention of colored people, to decide what course to pursue in the presidential campaign, has been abandoned. One of the leaders in the movement, Mr. Walter Brown, of Pittsburg, gives the following as the reason why it has been abandoned: "The Republican candidates are so acceptable to the people of my race that there is . no trouble to determine how to vote. We are thoroughly, pleased with Harrison and Morton, and will support them almost to a man. I have letter from colored people in all parts of the country, saying the Iapublican ticket suits them, and they will vote for it. In the South, particularly, Harrison is strong, and if the colored people be allowed to. vote they will carry at least three States for the Republicans. With this feeling prevailing tbere is no need, to hold a national or any other kind of a convention. We see our duty, -and are ready to do it." Of the art of advertising, the Philadelphia J Press says: "Advertising is evidently becoming an art and its development may yet lead to the establishment of special courses of training in business colleges. Already nearly $25,000,000 are spent annually iu the United States in newspaper advertising, every dollar of which, if used judiciously, has returned a large interest to the inventor. One feature of the advertisements of to-day forms an agreeable contrast to the advertisement of a generation M ago. It is the evident sincerity in which they are written, and the consequently greater confidence the searcher after information can repose ia them. That the advertising page is becoming one of the most interesting pares of the daily newspaper ia one of the striking proofs of the growth cf intelligence and refiaement among the people." An exchange exclaims, "How things are getting mixed! Here is an uncle of President Cleveland president of a Harrison campaign club in Buffalo.'1 Well, not so badly mixed, either, when you come to think of it . With Mr. Cleveland's relatives arranging to vote for Harrison, and Mr. Harrison's relatives, many of whom are Democrats, promising to do the same thing, things appear to be quite clear, and all on one side. The annual meeting of the National Prison Association of the United States will be held in Boston this Tear, beginning July 14 and lasting four dayi. This is a philanthropic organization, whose purpose is to recure tbe .improvement of criminal law wherever necessary to ameliorate the condition of prisoners where they are not properly treated and to look after tbe education and reform or the criminals themselves, both durinc and after the expiration of their terms pf imprisonment A large number of prominent persona, both in this country and abroad, are interested in this work, and a number of important papers and reports will be read. Hon. Rutherford B. Hayes ia president cf the association. A very lare attendance ia looked for. and the proceedings will be of more than usnal interest. It is hoped that every prison and reformatory in the United States and Canada will be represented. The Governors of tbe several States have been tequetted to send official delegates, and several have already signified their intention so to do. But any person, of either eex, interested in the prevention and repression of crime, is entitled by tbe constitution of the association to become a member on payment of $5, which may be handed to - the secretary at the meeting at Boston. The Kingston (N. Y.) Freeman, replying to the Courier-Journals charge that Gen. Harrison is an aristocrat, livinr ia a palace and drinking champagne from cut-class, tells the truth as to the General's modest Lome and manner of living, and then adds: 'It is not often tbe good fortune of a party to liebt upon a candidate possessing the peculiarly, we may say. excesifely. democratic character iatics cf Grover Cleveland.
