It is not -wholly a selfish motive that prompts the Journal to remind its Republican readers that now is the timeta get the best results by circulating good Republican papers among the people, and especially among doubtful voters. This is our plan of dealing with floaters. We would take them in Mocks of five, ten, twenty, fifty or a hundred, and put a good weekly Republican paper in their hands every week of the year. The Weekly Indiana State Journal ought to be in the hands of all doubtful voters in (ndiana between ( campaigns, and county committees and Lincoln Leagues could do no better work than to see that this is done. The cost in each county would not bo great to furnish the paper to all 6uch voters for the next two or four years. For this special purpose, we will send the papers at the rate of seventy-five cents per annum to any address. At this figure, the amount necessary to be nsed out of the county campaign fund will not be large, and it can easily be provided for by small voluntary subscriptions from members of the Republican party who are anxious to hold the advantages gained in the great victory of the past campaign. It is hardly necessary to make any argument for the use and expediency of such ; work. The good result that will come from persistent presentation of good Republican literature to wavering voters during the quiet months or years between the great poiitical battles is self-evident. There is no better way to make Republicans than by education of this kind, and w e appeal to all organizations which have the machinery now in good working order to take this matter in hand and push it vigorously. Enough was done prior to the campaign just closed in some counties to make it almost certain that the large gains and increased majorities there were largely due to the efforts of a few men who took the trouble early in the year to hunt out men who were doubtful in their politics, but who would read, and 6end them the Weekly Journal until the election was over. The plan worked so well that the matter is no longer an experiment. It is a sure means of making and keeping Republican votes, and it ought to be the first care of all good Republicans to extend the system into every county in Indiana. Republicans throughout the State who wish to assist in making it safely and permanently Republican cannot do better work in that direction than by acting on this suggestion. This is the way to anchor and hold the State in the Republican line.

Will the grand jury investigate the Whit taker fraud circular! Ms. Btntoi says he never had an interview with a New York Times man in which he denounced Southern Democratic Congressmen. This may bo true; but the point is, did a Times man have I' an interview with him! A word from i the latter is in order before the thing is feettled. J Mr. Btxum is very much aggrieved at being charged with making "sectional' (remarks reflecting on his party brethren in the South. Anybody who knows Mr. Bynum knows that he would rather elandcr his own home, as ho did at Atlanta, than to speak a word in criticism of the sacred "section7 below the Ohio. Both branches of the Legislature made a good beginning at work yesterday. A large number of bills were introduced, including a few of real importance, several worthy of consideration, and many of a meddlesome or vicious nature. The committees will have their hands full in differentiating the good from the bad, getting rid of the latter and perfecting the former. Outside of a few important matters, the less legislation we have the better, and the important measures should bo carefully considered. The meeting of the Republican Editorial Association yesterday was more important and interesting than any similar occasion in its history. The papers read treated of topics of current political interest, and the discussions showed that the directors of the county press are alert and aggressive. The army of newspaper Teaders constantly grows, and with its increase the influence of the press becomes more and more potent. The Republican county papers of Indiana did a splendid work in the campaign that resulted in the election of Harrison and Hovey, and yesterday's proceedings' are an admirable beginning of tho great campaign of 1890, when Indiana's Legislature must be wrested from Democratic control and the State apportioned on a basis of political justice and decency. In this work the county press will be a powerful agency, and it can be relied upon to do its whole duty. TriE Journal calls especial attention to the very able address of Hon. John M. Butler, delivered before tho Republican Editorial Association yesterday, and which is printed in to-day's issue. The gross injustice of the legislative and congressional apportionments is clearly tet forth, as ore also tho violations of

the Constitution by the last and tho present Democratic Senates. His criticism of the conduct of Judge Mitchell in organizing tho Senate is as severe as it is just. If tho present Democratic legislators were only half as much in earnest to have fair and honest elections and to give the people an opportunity to freely express their wishes at the polls as they profess to be, they should at onco make new apportionments for legislative and congressional purposes. It is safe to predict, however, that they will do nothing of the kind. They want neither fair elections nor honest elections; they want the offices, and care nothing for the manner in which they get them.

THE LAW OF THE DUDLEY CASE. Judge Woods's charge to the grand jury yesterday gives a final and definite construction to the law in the Dudley case. The substance of the charge is that the writing and mailing of a letter counseling or advising fraud in elections is not an indictable offense unless it appears that some person received and acted, or attempted to act, on the letter. This throws the Dudley case out of court. It has been conceded for some time that there was no evidence that tho so-called Dudley letter was ever received by any person within the State, much less acted upon, or attempted to bo acted upon. , In tho absence of 6uch evidence, the letter, even admitting it to have been written by Dudley, was like a blank cartridge fired in the air. Judge Woods makes tho law very clear that in order to constitute an indictable offenso there must be evidence that the letter was part of an actual fraud. As a matter of fact there is no evidence that it was ever acted on or received by any person in Indiana, and, of course, no evidence connecting it with the campaign in any way. On this state of facts Judge Woods virtually charges the jury that Dudley cannot be indicted. His charge reveals the fact that the acting district attorney has been trying hard to force a different construction of tho law on tho grand jury, and compel them to find an indictment, evidence or no evidence. The sum of tho whole matter is that whatever tho degree of Dudley's personal or moral delinquency may have been, there is nothing to show that his letter played any part in the campaign. So far as furnishing any ground or justification of the Democratic outcry about fraud, it is the same as if it had never been written. The Republicans carried Indiana fairly, and with an honest election would have carried it by a much larger plurality than they did. A REGISTRATION LAW. The Sentinel, which for some time past has been advocating a more stringent election law, declares against a registration law. Wehavo expected it. Tho Sentinel says whatever advantages there may be in a registry law are largely overbalanced by tho disadvantages. The objections are stated as follows: Th3 registration of voters involves an inouen9 expense to tho State; it puts unnecessai difficulties in the way of exercising the sr.crige; it operates to disfranchise large nun.bers of citizens who are unable, by reason of their occupation or from other causes, to spare the time required for both registering and voting; and, after all, it does not iflord an effectual safeguard against fraud." To this we reply, this is not a question of expense but of securing honest elections. For that consummation no reasonable expense is too great. The assertion that registration "puts unnecessary difficulties in the way of exercising the suffrage" is not sustained by experience in other States. Tho law is proved to work well in all tho States that have it. There may be a question as to the necessity of such a law in tho rural districts, but there can be none as to cities. In Ohio, where tho registry . law now applies only to Cincinnati, Cleveland and ono or two other largo cities, Governor Foraker, in his recent .message, recommends its extension to all cities of 10,000 population or more, A registry law is the natural sequence and complement .of a residence law. The latter is incomplete without the former. Such a law can be so framed that every legal voter who desires to exercise the suffrage can register without inconvenience or loss of time. We admit that registration has not proved a complete safeguard against fraud in the overwhelming Democratic districts of New York, but neither has anything else. Every argument that can be brought against a registry law is equally good against any progressive legislation whatever on the subject. It looks suspicious for an advocate of electoral reform to condemn in advance what is everywhere regarded as an essential feature of an efficient law. We believe a decided majority of the people of Indiana favor a registry law. Governor Porter, in his inaugural address in 1881, said: "At every general election for many years sums of money vastly greater than has ever been suspected by the people havo been expended to prevent invasions of the ballotdox by persons not authorized to vote, which need not have been expended but for the clause in our Constitution that will not allow safeguards against fraud to bo established which our own experience has shown to be necessary, and tho legislation of other States has provided with respect to those States." The first of the five constitutional amendments submitted to tho people at the spring election in 1S80 provided for the enactment of a registry law. The avowed object of the amendment was to remove tho constitutional obstruction to a registry law. Pending tho adoption of the amendment the question was asked of tho Attorney-general whether, if this one were adopted, it would be obligatory on tho Legislature to pass a registry law, or only directory. In his reply he said: "In the event of theso amendments being adopted, it would undoubtedly be the duty of the Legislature to provide for a registration of voters, but the failure to do so, intuy opinion, would not operate to disfranchise the electors otherwise qualified to vote." If it will make this opinion any more binding on tho consciences or judgments of Democrats, wo may say it was given by Democratic Attorney-general Woollen. Tho five amendments were all adopted by the people. Tho Democrats made a fight against the first amendment, and the total vote cast on that ono was larger by several thousand than on any other. It was

adopted by 1G9,4S3 votes for to 152,Col against. The Democratic Supreme Coui t, for political purposes, overruled the election and set aside the amendments. They were, therefore, submitted to tho people again and all adopted a second time. This was a special election, and the aggregate vote was smaller than before, but tho first amendment received 123,73G against 45,975. Tho majority for it at the second election was 77,761, against 17,232 at the first election. After tho adoption of tho amendments tho late Governor Hendricks declared himself opposed to a registry law, on the ground that it would injure the Democratic party. He also said that he thought likely an effort would be made . in a few years to repeal that' part of the amendment which provided for a registry law. It has not been repealed nor has it been made operative, although it is practically mandatory in requiring the enactment of a registry law. The rest of the amendment, that part relating to residence, has been carried into legislation, but that part relating to a registry law has not. It is tho duty of the Legislature to give force and effect to the, amendment twice adopted by the people. .- . FEUITS OP DEMOCRATIC USUEPATION. Now that the Democratic Senate has made itself infamous for the second time by its shameless defiance of law and. justice, it might be worth while for it to pause and consider the benefits to be derived from tho repetition of its outrages, basing its conclusions on theresuits of the first. Two years ago, by! their usurpation tactics and lawlessness, the Democrats in tho Legislature succeeded in preventing the election of General Harrison to the Senate of tho United States. They also succeeded in putting Turpie in that position, giving him, however, a tarnished title and' one which no man of honor would accept or present in tho way of credentials. Whether they feel rewarded for their action in tho consequences tliat havo followed it, directly or indirectly, may be doubted. Tho first and most notable one was the nomination and election of General Harrison to tho presidency of tho United States, an event that in all likelihood would not have occurred had he been a member of the Senate last Juno. Somo of these law-breaking Senators may now feel a sense of State pride in the fact that an Indianian is soon to bo at the head of the Nation, but it will hardly bo urged that "State pride" led to the Green Smith White Cap demonstrations of two years ago. They have Mr. Turpie in the Senate, but, although he has had ample opportunity to display some of tho "brilliancy" then attributed to him, there has not been the faintest scintillation of it. On tho contrary, Mr. Turpie has simply been a nobody in the Senate. He has kept silence when ho might have made a point to party benefit,

and he has spoken only to make' himself ridiculous. His most notable performance was the introduction the bill to print a government dircctoryof skilled laborers; a proposal so absurd' that his fellow Senators felt ashamed to refer to it and made haste to let it drop from sight. Plainly, too, ho has no influence with the administration, as the President's withdrawal of Bailey's name without his knowledge shows. Considered all around, the election of Turpie was not a conspicuous success.' Then, too, there is the election of a Republican Governor and Stato officers a result which there is no doubt tho legislative outrage did much to bring about. Take it all in all, the cost can hardly seem worth, the candle to the Democracy, and considering the consequences of the first illegal act, the outlook since the perpetration of the second can hardly be inspiring. True, there is no Senator to elect this year and no presidential campaign in the near future; but there is a future. Tho inem-' ory of the people is good, and retribution is sure to follow the last outrage as pointedly as upon the first. It may be wqrth while to remark, also, that Republicans look upon the lawless conduct, of their opponents with complacency, feeling that if the Democracy can stand it they can, since the tables will turn. Ex-Governor Bulloc, of Georgia,suggests a definite plan of Congressional j action in regard to fraudulent elections, j Premising that the House is exclusive judge of the election and qualification of its members, he says: "I recommend that tho next House amend this rule by adding to it that the clerk shall receive in addition a certificate that, say 3 per cent, of the number of inhabitants upon which the representation is based, have voted in the election at which tho delegate was chosen. Tho percentage named hero is only suggestive. The proper percentage to be fixed can be easily ascertained bv experience where there are full votes anil fair counts.' " This, of course, would require a change in the present rules of the House, but it is competent for the House to make such change. Governor Bullock thinks the enforcement of such a rule would insure the counting of the Republican vote in tho South, and be a long step toward honest elections. Tho advantage of such a rule would bo that it is not drawn on tho color line, and would apply alike to every congressional district of tho North as well as tho South. The only possible objection that can bo made agaiust it is that it is founded on strict justice, and that is what a great many people do not want. Elleuv M. Brayton, chairman of the Republican State executive committeo of South Carolina, has issued a statement relative to the political situation in that ' State, which reveals a terrible condition of affairs. Of tho present election system there ho says: "Its partisan purpose is not even concealed. It openly violates every principle of right, justice and fairness. It was enacted to enable the few persons required to work its machinery to accomplish all that the masters of the party havo been able to achieve through lawlessness and brutal crime." He characterizes tho recent election as "a miserable farce," and says that "out of a vote of more than 120,000 the Republicans were suffered to have counted only 13,710." Of course these frauds are ostensibly aimed at the negroes, but1 they embrace white Republicans as well, and amount to a practical extinction of

Republican government. The present condition in South Carolina illustrates modern Democracy run to seed. And now the New England preachers are taking their turn in denouncing the inaugural ball and in asking General Harrison to "dispense with it." It seems not to have occurred to any of these good people that the General was not elected for the purpose of presiding over the social affairs of tho Nation. The Sentinel is inclined to criticise the inaugural ball because it was not an exclusive affair. It certainly was not; a great many Democrats were present. "Gubernatoihal" is a word that of necessity figures frequently in speech and in print of late; nevertheless, gubernatorial is a very dreadful word.

KATE KENNEDY'S TASK, Her Attempt to Prove that Her Brother Is Innocent of the Crime of Murder. Louisville Courier Journal. Tlie friends and relatives of William L. Kennedy, a life convict in tho Indiana Prison South, at Jelfersonville, havo of late been interesting themselves greatly in his behalf; and applications for executive clem ency have frequently been made to Gov. Gray. Tho peculiar circumstances surrounding the case have retarded official action, but as this is the last day .of Governor Gray's term, Kennedv's friends believo firmly that a pardon will bo received to-day. The crime for which Kennedy was 6ent to prison occurred at Greensbnrg, Ind.. on the evening of the late Gen. John A. Logan's last speech of the campaign in 18$i, and has been described in detail in tho Courier-Journal. David Baker, a prominent attorney of Greensbnrg, while pursuing a thief who had picked a pocket while standing in the crowd listening to General Logan's speech, was shot and killed. Kennedy, who lived at Cincinnati, was present, and was arrested for ' the crime. He was duly tried and convicted for life, and sent to tho prison where ho is now serving. He was convicted entirely on circumstantial evidence, and although the jury was in deliberation for a short time, it was tho general belief that Kennedy was innocent. Many interested themselves in his behalf, and have been striving almost ever since to secure his pardon. Judges, jurors, witnesses, private citizens and State oflicers signed petitions to the Governor, and of late the officials at the prison havo become interested in the case, declaring that Kennedy is innocent, and pledging themselves to do all they can for him. Among the niauy who believed Kennedy innocent there were none who were more convinced that such was the case than his sister, Miss Kate Kennedy, a handsome woman, about twenty-five years of ago. At the time of her brother's arrest she was a clerk in the dry goods houso of John Shillito, Cincinnati. She at once gave up her position and took a pledge that she would make it her life's work to clear his good name. For four years she has applied herself to her task and has several times, she thought, collected enough evidence to gain his release. After entering upon her mission, her first work was to go to Indiana and look for new evidence. During the time Kennedy was in jail at Greensburg, Sheritt Stout became convinced that he was not guilty. When the officer heard that Miss Kennedy was. at Greensburg, he sent for her and offered to be of any assistance he could. Together they journeyed over the entire county, hunting witnesses and country people who were present at the Logan meeting. One day Sheriff Stout told her he did not know which way to turn next and he thought it better to let the horse go the direction ho pleased and trust to luck. Miss Kennedy assented to the plan and offered a fervent prayer that they be led in tho right way. The next man they met gave a description of the person who fired tho shot that wa9 entirely different from that of Kennedy. Others were found who gave a similar description, and in the end a great sensation was produced by' the county recorder, a man named Moulten. being arrested for the crime. Recorder Moulten had but little trouble in establishing his innocence, but it was developed that he had a double. To find this double was Miss Kennedy's next task. At length she was successful. This person. Recorder Moulten and Kennedy have all been seen by Governor Gray, and he was compelled to admit that the resemblance between tho three was so close that that if they were placed in a room dressed exactly alike he could not tell which was which. It is said by the superstitious that everyone who has been unkind to Miss Kenneuy in her work has met with somo misfortune, while those who have assisted her have prospered. Hon. M. E. Ingalls, president of the C, I., St. L. & C. railway, was one of the first to become interested in her behalf and gave her an unlimited pass over his lines. When her scanty supply of money gave out, he again assisted her. Tho hotel 'keepers at Greensburg furnished her with board free of charge. Her life has been endangered no less than a dozen times during the trips she has made over the country. A . short time ago she was in Jelfersonville to see her brother, full of hope that by this time ho would be a free man. A Courier-Journal reporter saw her and heard her recount the thrilling adventures through which she has passed. She has masqueraded in inen's clothing and gone into low groggeries, thieves' resorts, and all sorts of places where crimes exist and criminals congregate. To Dayton, O., she made several trips in men's attire and unearthed important evidence. As a bootblack, as a newsboy, she has gone from point to point, seeking information, and slie now claims that she has succeeded. bej'ond her expectation. At Indianapolis she found an important clew, and while tJiere was shadowed herself by persons who suspected her of having unlawful designs.' By a ruse employed sometimes by detectives, she became acquainted with thieves who knew the real murderer of Mr. Baker, and became in-, formed of their plans for future robberies. Miss Kennedv said that she recently met a number of Cincinnati sports who were at the Logan meeting, and that they claimed to have an idea who fired the fatal shot. To her they declared time and a gam that an innocent man suffered. On her last visit to Jeffersonvillc, Miss Kennedy told a report erthat she had proved to the satisfaction of every one concerned that her brother was never a thief. That, she said, was the first thing she desired to accomplish. "Now," she said, "I intend to prove who the real murderer is, if I can." It is the impression of every officer about the Jefiersonville prison that Kennedy is innocent. He is a model convict, and his every movement denotes that he is not guilty. One of the most recent sentimental developments in the affair is the statement that money was sent to Greensburg by Dayton crooks to assist in convicting Kennedy. This was learned from a. convict, a few days since, who recently arrived at the prison, and claims to know such to be the case. He, alleges that tho real culprit is now confined in the Indiana Prison xforth for another offense. t The case is attracting very general attention, and some official action will probably be taken before long. What Is Most Needed. . Washington Tost. : Mr. Everett Hayden, U. S. N.. has prepared a monograph on the "Great Storm of the Atlantic Coast of the United States.

It was Mrs. Gould who wanted the mausoleum built, aud tho cemetery people who suggested the idea of its being something after the style of the old Parthenon. "I want this done,'' said Mrs. Gould, as bhe stood upon the site which had been selected as tho new family burial spot. Mr. Gould cheerfully assented, as was his Tvay in all things in t which his wifo was interested. 'Mr. Gould made only three stipulations about the construction of the mausoleum: First, that it should be built as stronglv and as massively as possible; second, that it should not be pretentiously large; third, that as great simplicity as possible in the construction bo observed. It was upon the last point that Mr. Gould laid most stress. The mausoleum is, technically speaking, a Greek hexastyle. peripteral temple, having six columns in front and eleven columns oil each side in single rows, the corner columns being couDed twice; It is nearer like the old Tern' . of Theseus, at Athens, than any other iiu extant. In all its proportions and parts of frieze and cornice, architrave and entablature, entasis and skylobate the old classical measures as they have been handed down, have been rigidly followed. The temple is I aroughout of Westerly (K. I.) granite is 22 feet wide, S3 feet long, and 20 fee, ..igh to the apex of tho roof. The columns are 10 feet 6 inches high and 13 inches in diameter in the widest part, having tho slight swell of the Ionic order. The rows of 6teps, running all around, lead up to tho temple and form the exterior of its base. Between the rows of columns and the walls of the temple proper is a considerable space. The columns and tho walls aro alike unornaruented. The temple fronts the south, and before tho doorway the columns part, or there is a gap, apparently left by taking out the center column. In the doorway are two doors of bronze opening inward. They are eight

ieei nigu ana iwo icet wiac, ana weign a ton each. The lower part of the doors is of solid bronze paneled, and each part is ornamented on tho outside with a dragon's head and a big iron ring swinging in the mouth of each dragon. The upper part of the doors is a fret-work of cherubs and vines. The open spaces in the fret-work are large, comparatively, and through these a perfect view of the interior crypt can be obtained. The interior is twenty feet lone, seven feet wide and thirteen feet high. Tho roof of it is one solidslabof granite, which weighs six tons. The ceiling border is paneled with egg-and-dart moulding. Tho rloor is one plain slab of marble. Along the sides of the interior are the catacombs. There are twenty, ten on each side, in four rows of five each, the rows on each side being separated in the middle by a granite slab. The catacombs arc each seven feet six inches long and two feet six inches wide, and the catacomb walls from the inside of the catacomb to the outside of the mausoleum aro eighteen inches thick. .These walls are granite, of course, but the inner walls, those facing the interior of the crypt, are of light pink and cream-colored Tennessee marble, highly polished, so that the interior of the mausoleum has a warm tint. Theso interior walls are, in fact, simple slabs of marble closely fitting into .the openings of the catacombs, and capable of being removed so as to aBow the coffin to be set in or withdrawn. Upon tho front and at the end of each slab are bronze rings fitted upon the slab by means of bands of bronze, and by these the slab may be lifted out. A stained-glass window at the back lights the crypt. It pictures a heavenly choir of angels. The faces of the choir aro refulgent in the light of grand candelabra. The arched window is six feet high and threo feet wide. The roof of the mausoleum consists of granite slabs thirty-two feet long, each weighing fifteen tons. They are so joined and locked together that they cannot be displaced, and that the water can not trickly through tho scams where they join. The slabs overlap each other in fact, and there are no seams. The whole temple weighs about S00 tons. It rests on a solid concrete foundation, eight feet thick, 'hich was very slowly and carefully laid. The same method of concreting was followed which was afterward adopted for making the foundation of the statue of Liberty, on Bedloe's Island. The contract for the mausoleum was given in January, 1883, and , the entire structuro was completed in December of that year. It was built very 6lowly and cautiouslv. Mr. Gould inspected the progress of tho work, and guarded against what ho thought was any desire on the part of the architect to make the mausoleum at all ostentatious. It is understood that the cost of tho mausoleum was about S0,0)U. Arrangements for Mr. Goald's Funeral. New York, Jan. 15. The arrangements for the funeral of Mrs. Jay Gould are now complete.

New York Sim. Maria Henrietta, Queen of the Belgians, has gone in for editing, like Miss Cleveland and other distinguished women before her. She and her youngest daughter, Clementine, have just started a magazine of an inoffensive type, which is called La Jeune Fille. The idea is to keen young girls t up in household matters. The Queen writes about the way to keep house, and theater criticism, while her daughter, who signs herself "Martha D'Orey," does art and literature. Carmen Sylva, which is the nom de plume of tho Queen of Koumania, has been engaged on the stall to write a poem for every number, and it is expected that Stephanie, the Crown Princess of Austria, will do the pictures. If tho Archduchess Maria Valeria comes into the scheme, as is probable, this paper will be altogether an aristocratic affair. Their chance of journalistic success, however, would have been very much better had they started a society P41" The Public la Satisfied.
