COUNTY RUNS ITSELF

coniTiiorsB adaxdosed iiy democratic OFFICIALS. All Out Campaigning More Rottenness of the County- Commlsaloners Expoied-rurrhniea of Whisky. The effect of long possession of political offices by the Democratic party is nowhere better illustrated than In the courthouse at the present time. Having succeeded In keeping themselves in office for several years, the members of the ring display an utter disregard for the duties of their respective offices, and while drawing salaries for performing these duties, spend their entire time trying to secure re-election to the very positions which they are neglecting. Their boldness and audacity woull be less subject to criticism were It not so expensive to the taxpayers. The Journal showed In yesterday morning's issue how the taxpayers were paying for two Judges of the Criminal Court Not only In the Criminal Court is the business of the county neglected, but In almost every office In the courthouse the same state of affairs exists. Ed Little, clerk of the Criminal Court, la a candidate for County Commissioner. He la now making bis canvass for that place and drawing his 6alary as clerk of the Criminal Court. Deputy Auditor Johnson Is also putting In his entire time soliciting votes, and appears at the auditor's office only occasionally. It is only on rare occasions indeed that Auditor Taggart is seen at his office. ruring almost his entire time he has permitted his official duties to occupy but little of his time, wnlch he has spent attending to private enterprises. John "ft. Holtzxnan has not given one moment of his time to his official duties since the Democratic county committee opened its headquarters. While there are scores of appealed liquor cases on the docket In the Criminal Court room. Prosecutor Holtzman, chairman of the Democratic committee, is ostensibly directing the campaign for his party. He says the liquor cases are not tried because of the lack of time. The direction of the Democratic party' sampalgn la of greater Importance than the business of the county. While Prosecutor Holtzman is not attending to the duties of his office, he is receiving the salary and fees connected with it. His deputy, a brother to the Judge of the court, prosecutes a case once in a long while. The recorder's office Is another of the offices under Democratic control which Is permitted to Just drift along as It will. Beer agent Maurice Donnelly comes Into the ofllce sometimes. When he does come In it is only to sit down for a few minutes and glance over a newspaper. After reading the paper for a few minutes he will get up and saunter about the office in an aimless sort of way and then leave. Sometimes this is done every day for a week and sometimes he does not appear at the ofllce at all. The office is permitted to run Itself as best It can. The same is true of the county clerk's office. John R. Wilson spend3 Just enough time in his office to enable him to realize, at other times than when he draws hl3 salary and receives his fees, that he is county clerk. RELATIVES OF JUDGD BROWS Favored by County Commissioners Matter of Appeals. A few days ago the Journal showed the amount of drugs purchased from Charles W. Elchrodt, a retail druggist at the corner of West and First streets, for; use at tie poor farm. It wa3 also shovn that drugs for the Institution were not pur chased under contract, but paid for accord ing to the bill rendered by Elchrodt. In not a single Instance was there any difference in the amount of the bill presented and the amount allowed. The O. K. of Superintendent Yeager was all the guaranty the commissioners required as to the reasonableness of the bills. Superintendent Yeager was given unlimited discretion in the manner of making purchases and the place of purchase. Eichrodt is a brother-in-law to Judge Brown, of the Circuit Court, and in case cf an appeal from the commissioners' allowance the question would come before the Circuit Court. The purchasing of drugs in Quantities at retail prices is not the only way In which the relatives o Judge Brown are favored by the Democratic courthouse ring. He has another brother-in-law in the assessor's office and another relative employed In another part of the building. GREAT QUANTITIES OF WJIISKY. Commissioners Day Enough for a County Asylum Barroom. Whisky and live stock Insurance are Items of no small expense to the county in the maintenance cf the county asylum. There Is a "gray mule" at the county asylum which figures a great deal in the expenses of the institution. This animal, emblematic of the party in control, seems to be an object of special solicitude on the part of the County Commissioners, for they have constantly kept Its life insured, to do which they have paid Sol Leopold $22.70 at different times. The animal seems to have first become on object of solicitude about Sept 6, 1821 At that time It was Insured and Sol Leopold received $7 as the premium on the policy. Then, on Sept 14, 1SD3, the commissioners allowed a bill from Leopold for $3.75 for Insurance on the old gray mule. On Sept. 19. 1S94, the commissioners again allowed Leopold $7 for insurance on the animal. In addition to the Items for the gray mule's insurance there appears on the commissioners' records the following items of expenditures fcr insurance: March 7, 1531, $14 for insurance on mules; March 17, 1S33. $7 for Insurance on horse; March 17, 1&J2. $7 for insurance on horse. All of these payments for insurance were made to Sol Leopold. His most handsome present, however, was given him on Oct. 31, 1SJ2, when he was given $73.50 for insurance on live Stock. At that time he was paid the price of a good horse for insuring: the lives of the stock at the poor farm and workhouse. Of that amount 136 was for Insurance on stock at the poor farm and the balance on stock at the workhouse. Just what the taxpayers might think of buying whisky for consumption at the poor farm is hard to tell, but Koepper & Waterman, wholesale whisky dealers, have furnished the stuff to the county asylum in large quantities. When it comes to purchasing whisky It is bought at a wholesale house, where the retailer's profit, it is presume!, is saved. In the purchase of drugs, however, the retailer Is sought and given the profit to be derived from large purchases. The County Commissioners have paid whisky bills, on the order of the superintendent of the poor farm, amounting to $72.50. The purchases have been made at different times, and vary in quantity ;rom six to eighteen gallons at a time. There is a method of allowing bills in vogue with the County Commissioners that practically prevents the discovery of willful extravagance. A bill comes to the County Commissioners for their approval, and If it is approved It is numbered and tiled away. These original bills are preserved for future reference. They are Intended to show specincally what the money was expended for. The most casual examination of the files containing these bills, however, will show that they do not show this. It often happens that a ptrson from whom goods have teen purchased renders a bill that 13 almost Pure Biood CIves Perfect Health-Hood's SarsapariMa Maxes Puro Blood.

unintelligible so far as showing whether the price charged is a reasonable one or not. This Is the eaf in some of the bills al

lowed Sol Leopold for insurance on live stock, in several Instances the bilLs are rendered for '"insurance on horses" or "insurance on horses and mules." There is no specification to indicate the number of horses or mules that were insured. In referring to the accounts after the bills are rendered the original bills are all there are to Indicate what the expenditures were made frr. and when these fail to give def inite information there is no source from I County Commissioners partially cover up this rottenness. MR. FAIIlfJAMtS'S VIEWS. The Republican State Majority Will Not He Inder 15,000. Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks was asked yesterday as to the political outlook. Mr. Fairbanks said: "I have been In every part of the State since my first appointment in August. I have seen scores of county and local committees and have availed ' myself of every opportunity to gather Information and to inquire into the conditions. It is now my Judgment that we shall carry Indiana by at least 15,000. It may be much more, but I do not believe that our majority over the Democracy can be les3. We shall elect seven Representatives to Congress, and possibly two more. We shall have a majority in the Legislature on a joint ballot. "My meetings," continued Mr. Fairbanks, "have been large and the people have paid the closest attention; In fact, I have had but three small meetings. In Jeffersonville, the other night, the Democrats had two popular speakers and had a hall, while I had the rink holding twice as many as the hall. The rink was full, and the hall, I was told by reliable parties, was not over two-thirds full. My audience was made up largely of wage earners. I never tell stories, but state facts; but that audience listened Intently. At Anderson, recently, the courthouse was crammed with people before the procession started which was to parade the streets. Half the people could not get in. I mention these as indications of the rising tide. "As soon as I fill, my appointments in one place I go to the next and spend the hours with committees and others Interested in the work, getting and giving points." Mr. Falrbanks's voice is as clear as if he had not made a speech this season. In fact, ! seems in better physical condition for ilie forty or fifty speeches he has made. AT ENGLISH'S OPERA HOUSE. Hon. John 31. Butler AVI 11 Speak There To-Mght. The meeting to be addressed by Hon. John M. Butler at English's Opera House to-night, will be one of the largest of the campaign. Mr. Butler will be Introduced by ex-Qovemor Porter, who Is to preside over the meeting. In his address the speaker will devote considerable attention to the reckless and corrupt extravagance of the Democratic commissioners of Marion county. An hour before Mr. Butler begins his address, at 8 o'clock, the Progress Band' will give a concert in the Opera House. A number of Republican clubs will attend the meeting in a body. Not Vote for All Ex-Sollicrs. At a meeting of the Marion County Veteran Union, last night, a motion to recommend that the members vote for ex-soldiers on both tickets, after full discussion, was tabled by a vote of 20 to 3. It was voted that the names of the ex-soldlers on all the county tickets be published for the general Information. - Speaking at Castleton. Thursday night J. C. Adams and others will speak at Castleton, Lawrence township. J. W. Fesler and W. W. Thornton will cneak the same night at the corner of Fourth street and Columbia avenue. At Antloou Church. There will be a Republican rally tonight at Antioch Church, corner of Howard and Fourth streets. Mr. Henry Next Tuesday. Hon. Charles L. Henry will speak Friday night at the Junction of Ohio street and Arsenal avenue. A NEW FEDERATION 3ICTAL WORKERS UNITED IXTO ONE IlIO ORGANIZATION. Lee Johnson, of Kansas City, Kits., Chosen President Why the Xevr Alliance Was Made. The result of the deliberations of the metal workers, which were practically concluded at the English Hotel yesterday, was the organization of the Federated Metal Trades of America. Thfe new body will include every branch of the Iron, brass and steel industries in America. The purpose of the promoters is to bring Into a closer relationship all of the national organizations in this branch of labor. The officers of the new association are as follows: President Lee Johnson, of Kansas City, Kan. Vice President James O'Connell, of Richmond. Va. Secretary-treasurer William Anderson, of St. Louis. The delegates to the metal workers' convention which convened Monday for the purpose of forming a federation of their trades heard the report of a committee on plan3 yesterday morning, and proceeded at once to draw up a constitution, xne entire day was devoted to this task, and the convention adjourned last night, highly satisfled with Its work. The constitution is to be submitted to the heads of the various unions for approval. It is believed by those who had a hand in the formation of the Federated Trades of America, that the organization will rapidly develop Into one of the strongest of national labor unions. The organizers Bay that It Is not the purpose to antagonize any other organization and that it has no desire to recruit from the ranks of the American Federation of Labor. On the contrary, its membership will be Instructed to continue Its affiliation with the American federation. President Johnson says that for the last twelve months the iron workers of America have been subjected to heavy reductions. Their wages are unsatisfactory and there is a general feeling among iron workers that unless their conditions are bettered a bitter strife between employers and men must be the end. It is with the feeling that the national organizations were not sufficiently allied to make a strong fight in case of emergency that the Federated Metal Trades of America was organized yesterday. Metal Worlcer Open Meeting;. - 1 There will be an open meeting at Machln-1 ists' Hall. No. 33 South Illinois street, tonight, of machinists, blacksmiths, boiler makers, iron molders, pattern makers and brass workers,, which will be addressed by the executive officers of the international bodies having Jurisdiction over the several local unions of the trades mentioned. The purpose of the meeting is to strengthen the local unions and establish a closer relationship between them. V. I. S. C. E. Business Session. The executive committee of the local union Y. P. S. C. E. held a business session Monday night at the Meridian-street church. The chief business of the meeting was the reports of committees appointed to look at is-r the State delegates. Miss Alice Somerville was elected secretary of the committee In place of Miss Alice Taylor, who recently resigned. "Mm.

WOMEN AND MISSIONS

TWELFTH AXXCAL MEETING OF INDIANA SYNODICAL. SOCIETIES. Money Contributed for Support of Foreign Missions A Lecture by Mr Jessnp, of Syria. .The twelfth annual meeting of the Woman's Synodical Societies of Home and Foreign Missions of Indiana opened yesterday at the Second Presbyterian Church. The morning and afternoon sessions were held by the presbyterlal and synodical officers, who conferred on the subject of what the two branches should take up during the meeting. This plan of work as a whole or In part will be accepted or rejected by the meeting. The first general meeting was held last evening In the audience room, and there was a large attendance of the delegates and members of city churches. There were about three hundred women from all parts of the State present to attend the meeting. On the platform were Mrs. D. B. Wells, of Fort Wayne, president of the Synodical Society of Foreign Mission's; Rev. M. L. Haines, Rev. George Knox and Rev. Henry IL Jessup, D. D., of Beirut, Syria. Mr: Haines led the devotional exercises, assisted by Rev. Knox. The singing of the hymns was led by Mr. Allison. Special musical numbers were given on the organ by Mr. Oliver Willard Pierce, and on the violin by Mr. Constantine Riegger. Mrs. O. W. Conner, of Wabash, made her report as synodical secretary. There are 170 missionary societies In the State, an increase of eight. Sixty C. E. societies have contributed to the missionary fund. The presbyteries have paid $1,126 into the fund. The work has lost ground in the young ladles societies on account of so many of them Joining the C. E. society. Twentyfive Sunday schools have contributed. There are 616 woman's societies in the State, and the total membership is 6,-iGl. in 1893 there were $18,453 and in $12,711 contributed. The latter was augmented by the generous gift of Mr. Culbertson, of New Albany. .Mrs. Conner Kave a brief renort of the mission aries which some of the different churcnes are supporting in the foreign field. Indian apolis supports six. This is the largest num ber by any one place. Tnis city aiso gives the greatest amount and has the greatest number of societies. After a Violin solo by Mr. Riegger, Mrs. Wells introduced Rev. Mr. Jessup, who made the address of the evening. Mr. Jessup has been a missionary In Syria for thirty-nine years, lie gave a description of how he had heard the cry from Macedonia when he was a small child, and how he had determined to be one to answer the call. In December of he left New York and In February of the next year he reached isyria. 1th the exception 01 a short time he has been stationed in Beirut all of the time since he went over. The actual field of Syria, he said, is wherever the Arabic language is spoken, and this Is the speech of seven million people. There are only five American stations in byria. in one part of the country is a people which the speaker believes to be descendants of the Canaanltes. Among them the women are treated like cattle. He described Beirut as beautifully situated, with never a frost. There are four women's schools In Syria. The city has grown from a pop ulation of eight thousand, which it had when he went there, to one of lio.uoo. There is a railroad from Jaffa to Jeruralem. This he calls a sentimental railroad, as there is no money to be made -from - It. In . the schools there are 15,000 children. The con dition of women is low. Miss Mary Eddy wanted to practice medicine and was grad uated from colleges in Xevr York, l'ennsyl vanla and Massachusetts, but she was not allowed to do so. Finally the Imperial faculty consented to give her an examina tion. They made it very difficult, but she was well qualified ana passed It successfully. The faculty then gave her a Turkish diplo ma and she can now practice anywhere m the country. The diploma was signed v by every member of the imperial faculty. Mr. Jessup said the vulnerable point in, the Mohammedan faith was in the homes' .'and. -if the missionaries could gain access to them and to the ears of the women of the nation they might make great headway. He described at length the pilgrimage to Mecca and the practices of the pilgrims. He gave the five points of faith of the Mohammedan to pray five times a day,' to fast a month, to give alms to the poor, to go to Mecca and to know the creed. The close of the talk was an account of the conversation of a young Mohammedan, who afterwards became a teacher, and whom the missionaries thought was to be a great . power among his people. He became ill, however, and died. A letter showing the faith of a young convert was read by Mr. Jessup. Mr. Haines made a few remarks and then a collection was taken for the mission work. To-day the general work of the convention will begin. There will be communion at 9, conducted by Rev. J. A. Milburn, assisted by other ministers. Mrs. O. W. Conner will tell of the Denver meeting.

COLBERT WAS THE MAN REPORT I.EAICS OUT THAT HE TIPPED TUB GOOD-E CITIZENS. A Tempestuous Row On In the Demo cratic Cnmp Hotv the Scheme Was Planned. The scheme which the Democratic county committee set on foot to have the Good-e citizenship committee make a tour of saloons on Sunday, with a guide .who was able to persuade the saloon ' men to sell the party liquor. Is increasing every day in its boomerang effects. There is the warmest sort of internecine war on at Democratic headquarters as a result of the leaking of the report from headquarters that ex-Su-perlntendent of Police Colbert was the man who gave the Good-e committee its pointers. The plot was carefully hatcned In the committee rooms and unusual precautions were taken to prevent it from every becoming known, for it was readily foreseen that the saloon keepers would be highly incensed . that they should suffer for the sake of such dubious political capital. It was necessary to secure a trusted man to convey the inform?tlon (?) to Mr. Goode, and it was also necessary that Mr. Goode should not know, presumably, that the tip came from any one. connected with the Democratic committee. The scheme worked admirably In so far as the alleged Inspection tour was carried out, and if Mr. Goode were asked to-day he would probably say that he did not know positively that the Democratic committee was furnishing him information through its agents. Colbert has been taking an active part In the present campaign, and it has been stated that he is the one who looks after collection of assessments from Democratic members of the police and fire departments. He is known among the Democratic leaders as a man who can be trusted with confidential political missions, but the statement that he was the man selected by the Demo cratic committee to steer the Goode committee against Hagerdorn was inadvertently allowed to pass from the inner circles of "the Democratic committee rooms.. It was not supposed for a moment by the managers that the saloon keepers would ever know that Colbert acted in this capacity, or, in fact, that the committee had anything to do with the tour. So when it became noised about that Colbert was the man who furnished the Good-e committee its information, the saloon keeners set un a howl that could be heard all along the line, rrom the ena or Madison avenue to Thompson's road house, north of Fall creek. The saloon keepers could not com prehend this double treachery on the part of the committee which It was supplying with the sinews or war. ah sorts of ven geance were sworn at Colbert, whom they had looked upon as their faithful friend. Colbert is employed by the brewery syndicate, and this fact ha3 further alarmed the committee, for it is feared that the Llebers and others will also take umbrace at thi3 bad piece of politics. Hagerdorn, who acted a3 guide for Goode's committee. and coaxed bartenders to sell Goode, Hit ter and others liquors ln violation of law. was a favorite of Colbert's when the latter was at the head of the police department. and Colbert knew him to be a man who could take the committee around and after wards keep his mouth shut Hagerdorn, however, little dreamed that - he would become known publicly as the pilot of the party. As a result of this publicity, it is stated that he has been dismissed from the emoloy of Joseph Gent's cereallne works. Albert Lleber purchases a large part of the output of Gent's plant for brewery uses, and it is claimed that he Insisted that Htgerdorn be discharged from his position on account of the part he took in the tour. Yesterday men were sent out by the Democratic committee to try to explain the affair to the saloon keepers, but met little success. It is said that a conference Is to be held between Albert Lleber, some of the leading saloon keepers and the committee very shortly in order to patch up some sort of peace. Those Good Citizens. To the IMitor of the Indianapolis Journal : It was refreshing to read in the Journal this morning the remarks of the Itev. Joseph A. Milburn In denunciation of the sneaking methods of Mr. Goode and others to get men to become law breakers so that they might show their good (?) citizenship by having them prosecuted. In my opinion the first business of a good citizen is to keep his fellows from becoming vio lators of the law and when he "sets up a game" on them, and that on Sunday, too, he simply becomes contemptible and an accessory before the fact to the crime. In the case of the German whlen you relate in your local columns I should think that Goode and .Hagerdorn would feel every time they meet a decent man on the streets like bowing their heads in shame at the recollection of the dirty trick. I hope Judse Stubbs will not be a party to any such work and will promptly discharge the old German when he learns the facts. I have no doubt it was a "set-up Job" on the part of some one with Goode and Hagerdorn to carry it out. Make the saloon keepers obey the law, but make them do it in an honorable way. Indianapolis, Oct. 22. ODSCRVEH. Has the Sympathy of the Church. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: It Is to be regretted that the "prominent member" of the Tabernacle Church, who Is quoted in this morning's paper, should have been so ill informed. The writer has an. extensive acquaintance in the church and this word is the first that has been heard against the Good Citizenship movement as at present constituted. When a similar movement came up a year ago ever forty persons signed the constitution the first night, showing entire sympathy in the movement. The gentleman could not have been present at the prayer meeting referred to in the article or he would have seen that at least eight or ten voters, to say nothing of others, all prominent members of the church, gave their indorsement to the work of the committee through. Mr. Goode, and no one had anything to the contrary to say or hint. Another statement in the same article that should be corrected is that there are no Republicans on the committee, when there are two such persons. e nt e. Indianapolis, Oct 21 Uu tier's Exhibition Games. The football team of Butler University will go to Kokomo to-day to engage in an exhibition game with the glassblowers. There is a strong team at Kokomo and a smart game is anticipated. Thursday the Hutler team will go to Danville for a game, and Saturday will measure Its strength with the Hose Polytechnic Institute team at Terre Haute. The faculty of that institution refuses to permit their team to play away from Terre Haute, and their games In the State association have been forfeited. The game with Hutler was scheduled for Oct. 20. and Saturday' game will only be for exhibition.
