HATE CHANGED THEIR TONE

For SomeReason Democrats HaveQaieily Stopped Howling for Free Tin. Secretary Blaine Attacked with Nausea While Attending a Cabinet Meeting Cleveland Dropped by the Texas Statesman. NOT EAGER FOR FREE TIN. Itemarkable Change of Sentiment Among the Democrats In the House. f jcrial to the Icdisnapo'.ls Journal. Washington, Jan. 19. It will be remembered that one of the issues of the last presidential campaign was freo tin-plates. The Democrats wailed themselves hoarse over the "misery ' and "suffering' of the workingman because thrro was a duty of 1 cent per pound on tin-plate, and free tin-plate was a leading feature of the Mills bill. The last Republican Congress raised the duty on tiu-plato to 2 210 cents. It is noticeable that among all the bills which are being introduced by members of the ways and means committee of the present House under Mr. Springer's motbod of attacking the McKinley law by specitio bills, there has as vet been no free tin-plate bill introduced by any one authorized to do so by the committee, and, incredible as it may appear, it Is not at all certain that the Fifty-second Congress will show itself as eager for freo tin-plate as were the Democrats in the Fiftieth Congress. Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska, who seems to represent better than any other member the Western tariff sentiments of the committee on ways and means, said to-day that the question of tin-plate had B&en under discussion in the committee several times, and that it seemed to be tho (feeling of the committee that free tin-plate was not practicable and that the committee would confine itself to a specitio tin-plate bill, restoring the duty to what it had been when the McKinley bill was passed. Mr. Bryan was asked if this was not absnrdly inconsistent with every argument made in the Fiftieth Congress. He merely replied that "we must have some revenue and we will tax tin-plate 1 per cent, to get that revenue." No comment is necessary on the policy of a party which announces this as its probable course of action. By their attitude now the Democrats acknowledge that the tin-plate industry is getting a foothold in tnis country. Mr. Bunting, of New York, is understood to be preparing a tin-plate bill. He has just returned from New York city, where a tinplate consumers' association has been in session, and is. therefore, thoroughly posted on what legislation the tin-plate consumers desire. It is said that as Bunting's bill will separate tin-plate from terne, and that while be will let the present duty of 2 2-10 cents stand on tome-plates he will advocate the reduction on tin-plat to the old rate. . MR. BLAINE ILL AGAIN. Seized with Nausea While at a Cabinet Meeting and Compelled to Go Home. Washington, Jan. 19. There was some little excitement about the White House during the Cabinet meeting this afternoon, by reason of the sudden illness of Secretary Blaine. He came to the White House about 11:45 o'clock and seemed to be in good health, but he had not been there more than half an hour when he complained of nausea and said be felt weak aud faint. He suggested that he better go home and Secretary Elkins agreed to go with him. They drove to Mr. Blaine's house In the Postmaster-general's carriage, which happened to be the most convenient at the time, Mr. Blaine's not being there. His regular physician was soon in attendance and Mr. Blaine was relieved of all feeling of nausea. The attack was somewhat similar to tho ono of a fortnight ago, but was not nearly so serious and yielded much more readily to treatment. To-day's attack was a mild one and it is not likely to have any serious or permanent effect.. It was stated this afternoon that as an indication that there is nothing serious in Secretary Blaine's attack, it may be stated that when be and Secretary Elkins left the Cabinet meeting it was for the purpose of calling on Dr. Hyatt, Mr. Blaine's physician, and that a brief examination showed that there was no occasion for any alarm. As a matter of prudence, however, Mr. Blaine did not return to the Cabinet meeting, but went to his houso for the purpose of securing quiet and rest. Secretary Elkins reported to the Cabinet that Mr. Blaine's illness was thought to be temporary only, and was not of a character to justify an adjournment of the meeting. The result was that the session continued nntil 2 o'clock. A reporter of the United Press was informed at the Blame mansion, this evening, that the Secretary was all right, and was ensaged with his mail. --4 MILLS'S CHANGE OP HEART. . The Texan nas Thrown Cleveland Overboard for "horlsontal Bill Slorrlson. f eclal to the Indianapolis JmaraaL Washington, Jan. 19. Mr. Mills, who has generally been regarded as Mr. Cleveland'slientenant in Congress, and who was undoubtedly the Cleveland candidate in the late speakership light, has evidently concluded that he will break his allegiance to the ex-President and row his own boat. The interview which was sent out from Corsicana not long ago, in which Mr. Mills came out for "some Western man" as the proper candidate, created general confusion among Democrats at first, since it plainly meant the desertion of Cleveland. Since his return to the House, yesterday morning, Mr. Mills has been almost overrun with inquiries as to the correctness of the interviow. To all inquirers ho reported that the interview was absolutely correct, and to those who were in his confidence Mr. Mills stated that the "Western man" whom he looked npon as the most available man for the presidency was the Hon. "Bill" Morrison, of Illinois. He believes that Mr. Morrison would be tho best compromise candidate 'for all men who, while loyal to tho great tariff-reform issue, still believe that the Democratic party should look elsewhere than to Mr. Cleveland as the proper exponent of that issue.

PUREST AND BEST LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE: OP OTHER BRANDS ' P0UNDS,2tH 4r. HALVES,I0 QUARTERS! SOLD IN CANS ONLY INDIANA HUMANE SOCIETY Showing of Good Accomplished Dur ingtho Year atthe Annual Meeting. Interesting Points from President Dennjs Address Reports on the Work New Corps of Officers Elected. The fourth annual meeting of the Indiana Humane Society was held at the Hebrew Synagogue last night, and the audlenoe-room of the pretty little temple was almost filled with tbe lovers of humanity and defenders of the dumb brute and abused children. Conspicuous among the number there were about one hundred of the children of the Bands of Mercy, made up of the school children of the city. They occupied the front seats of the middle block of pews, and were bedecked in the neatest frock and tippets. President Caleb 8. Denny called the meeting to order at 8 o'clock and, after a prayer, began his annual address, of which the following is an extract: president denny's address. Ten years ago to-day the Indiana Humane Society was incorporated. It was entirely accidental, however, that this anniversary of its organization was selected for the holding of our yearly meeting. Prior to 1887 no reports of the society's work were preserved. The history of the society before that time only remains in the memory of the few faithful persons who have been connected with it since the beginning. During the past year the society has had, for the lirst time in its history, a regular headquarters and a superintendent in charge of the work. Tbe room at Mo. 77 l$ast Market street Is well located, bnt is not otherwise very desirable. It has served a good purpose, however, and until the society is able to rent a better one it should be retained. Mo backward step should be taken in this matter of keeping a superintendent in charge of a central office to look after and direct tbe work. Very satisfactory results have been accomplished by the society during the past lew years, though we yet have much to learn, and, no doubt, will always have plenty to do. Thoughtless people are being taught to think of the consequences of their careless cruelties mliicted on their weaker fellow-beings and helpless dumb brutes, and the willtnlly oruel aro being reminded that there are penal statutes that can be brought into requisition when good advice goes unheeded and kind words fail. It is the policy of tho society to first argue kindly with an offender against his cruelty and use every means possible to induce him to desist by gentle words. If this fails he is then arrested and dealt with as unmercifully by the law as he dealt with his victim. Continuing, Mr. Denny said: "Twenty years ago Heury Bergh was called a 'crank' by half- the people of New York city. He was jeered at on the streets as he went - about - bis work of relieving suffering and preventing cruelty. But he lived to put many of his sco Hers to scorn. He lived to see the Legislature and Uovernor of his State indorse his ideas by placing, on the statute books rigid laws for the proteotion of dumb animals from man's cruelties and to receive the encomiums of his fellow-citizens. We may none of us live to nee the day when all unnecessary cruelty will cease. Very likely not, for there will always be found some , whose baser instincts will gain the mastery over1 their better natures. Even the penalties of the law will not deter them. But I firmly believe that the day is not far distant when, in this enlightened land, at least.it will be considered as mean and disgraceful for a man to be found guilty of wantonly torturing a dumb brute as it now is to be caught robbing one's neighbor or setting fire to his house. Education is all tho world needs on this subject, and it is get ting it very rapidly." Mr. Denny dwelt upon the great valuo of a liberal and lavish circulation of books and leaflets on humane subjects In furthering the advances of tho cause. They should be given plentifully to every hackman, and scattered broadcast through livery barns, blacksmith-shops, stock-yards and other places where horses and cattle are kept, and. as a rule, neglected. In conclusion, he said: "Tho society also needs the .moral support of all good citizens to enable it to successfully fight down the many strong prejudices which exist against any interference with a man for doing as he pleases with his own child or his horse. We ask tbe active support of all who are enrolled as members of the society, and their assistance in increasing the membership. The only source of income is from membership fees. There is no reason why our city may not become celebrated in humane work, both at home and abroad, as it has in scores of other good works. I appeal to all good men and women in our community to assist the society in accomplishing the work it has undertaken." WORK OP THE YEAR. Mrs. Ella D. Zinn, the society's superintendent, then presented her report, which is as follows: - "On Feb. 18, 1891, the society opened at No. 77V4 East Market street. Since that time there have been 1,079 oases reported and investigated, involving 147 children and 982 animals, and classified thus: Children Returned to homes. 14; sent to reform schools and orphan asylums, 14; prosecuted parents or anardians. 4; bettered conditions of 119. A number of cases have been brought to tha attention of the society that really belonged to the Board of Children's Guardians, and which were turned over to it. "Of the Animals Horseslooked after. 7CA; ordered out of service, 277; working with sores, SS; working without proper feed and care. 54; working whiio lame, ldo; horses overworked, 18; prosecutions for ill treatment, 4: overdriven or cruelly punished, 41; working with broken shoes or none at all. oC The society's official agent, 11 A. Orlopp. has found fifty-nine teams which were being compelled to haul excessive loads, and which he cansed to be immediately relieved. He has also caused to be humanely killed ninety-two Morses that were too old and feeblo or sick to work. The owners of 241 horses have been admonished to take better and kinder care of their animals with good results. "Cattle are given as much attention at horses, and this is what has been done for them during 191: Number looked after, cows suffering for need of being -milked, and calves tied away from mothers and not fed. f; calves tied in wagons, 5; cows cruelly tied to graze, 4: cattle killed, 15: condition bettered by admonishing inhuman owners, 88. The agent has visited twelve dairies, with good results, as he has also several poultry-houses. There have been twenty-six coops of poultry relieved

and tbe locking of wings of fowls by the hucksters and dealers is practically a thing of the past. "Dogs bavo also neon cared for with dno consideration where, tbe case demanded aotion. Tbe number looked after who were injured on the street was four, while a number were shot that were fatally hurt. "In all the agent bas made 478 visits." Mr. W. H. Hobbs urged the necessity of an agent or the society being placed at the stock-yards, and notice is hereby given to all humanitarians and persons who believe in fair play to the dumb animals, that subscriptions to pay the salary of snch an officer will be cheerfully received at the society's office. 77Mt East Market street. Mrs. Anna Prettyman. tha very capable and worthy solicitor, read an excellent roport, brief as to words, bat golden in its sentiment and expression. Tho facts and figures in this are as follows: The clase of 18y0 showed a membership of 517, and that of 1891, 703. These persons vary in age from eighty-four years to the school-girl and boy in their teens. Of this list eighteen fare ministers, 162 ladies, twenty-seven of whom are teachers in the publio schools of this city. The money contributions vary from 10 cents to f 10. Six persons contributed 10, thirty-one gave 5. one gave $8, others $4 and 83. The majority, however, adhere to the regular membership dues of 2 and Si The literature distributed during the State fair consisted of tbe following: "Black Beauty," 180 copies; Indiana Humane Society's annual reports, 5!0 copies; folders of same society, 1,700; miscellaneous leaflets on ''Cattle Transportation," "Service of Mercy," 'Our Dumb Animals," illustrated cards for children, "Protection of Animals," 3.040. The supply of such literature was wbolly inadequate for tho great demand, many persons returning twice to get more copies. Additional copies hare been ordered and may be had on application. In conclusion, Mrs. Prettyman says: "If the theory is correct in moral as in physical life that prevention is more cr? mendable than remedial efforts, then 1 strongly nrge that the educational work in the public schools and community be vigorously carried forward by means of an increased supply of humane literature for the coming year. Prevention leaves no scar npon the moral nature of a community; dsfacement must precede the need of remedy." Mrs. Prettyman said that there were one thousand children of the city schools who belong to the Bands of Mercy. One day during the year was celebrated by eaoh sehool-houso in the city as "dumb-animal day," and on that day exercises bearing on this work were held. The songs and recitations were in keeping with the occasion, and interesting essays were prepared and read by the children and addresses made by persons of the city interested in the work. At one of the schools a crayon portrait of Henry Bergb, executed by akboy of eleven years, hung upon the wall. NKW OFFICERS ELECTED, Treasurer O. H.-Shover's report showed that there is a balance of $j0.73 in tho treasury, which is far too little to properly carry on tbe work of the society for the current year. The expenses for 1W1 were 400 more than for 1890, while the receipts were only $300 more. Mr. Hobbs introduced a resolution looking toward the increase of the active membership fee from 8ito$ and the deferring of the change until the next annual meeting. Many thought that 5 was too much, bat the resolution was adopted. Prof. W. V. Grant. Mrs. John Coburn and Dr. John M. Gaston were appointed a committee on nomination of otlicers, and reported the following: " President-D. W. Coffin. Vice-president Mrs. Thomas A. Hendricks. Secretary D. K. Hnyder. Treasurer (1. II. Suover. Attorney George Carter. Veterinary Surceon Dr. McCaulay. Memtrs ol Board of Directors Mrs. H A. Blaker, C. 8. Denny, Mrs. Dr. Harvey, A. C hortrldce, Father Bessonies, Herman Bamberger, v. H. Ilobbs. Tnese gentlemen and ladies were declared duly elected for the ensuing year upon the adoption of the report as a whole. The superintendent, solicitor and agent of the society are appointed by the board of directors, but there will be no change from the present excellent corps. Mrs. Knowlton and Mrs. Davis, of school No. 10, had a Band of Mercy chorus of fifty boys and girls, of all colors and nationalities, standing up side by side singing their songs. After a vote of thanks bad been tendered these ladies and the congregation of the synagogue, for its kindness In donating the free use of the hail, the meeting adjourned. mm ' Increase of State Taxes. Lafayeits Cctirlcr. Under the Democratic reassessment bill the taxes to be collected from citizens of Tippecanoe county for the year lM'l. for State purposes alone, will amount to !V 653,42, a net increase of $3l,V43.3o over 1K, or a sure equivalent to 40.207 per cent! These figures are taken directly from the tax duplicates, and art unquestionably correct. They cannot be denied nor ex plained away. A Republican Board of County Commissioners has reduced the levy for the count fund, but a Democratic Legislature has increased its peremptory demand enormously and outrageously. That Much Certain. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telrirrayb. Whether Hill or Cleveland be the Democratic nominee for President, and whether Harrison or Blame bo tbe Republican nominee, there can be no question that the preponderance of merit will be on the Republican aide.
