The Daily News has the largest circulation of nny paper in Indiana, and is read In nearly every town and village tribut*-' ry to Indianapolis. It wes a case of the tail wagging the dog.

Th£ pnbliflher of the Sunday Journal has apologized.

Why should floor be so high with wheat at its present price?

Timn strikes and out! The Journal went out at the third effort.

It is dangerous for a paper to tell The News that it will not apologize. The News forthwith proceeds to make it apologize.

John Phosnxx, late of the Sunday Journal, had a severe tussle with public opinion, but won, as John Phoenix always does.

Tm discontinuance of the Sunday issue of the Journal, is the most effective apology the proprietor could make for its publication.

Tng report from all parts of the state is that the crops are immense. From present appearances Indiana will raise 1 er greatest corn crop this year. Tn* Chicago Journal says there Is not the least foundation for the report that Judge Davis is fatally ill with cancer in the stomach. It says he*is perfectly well.

Tub Maine republicans agree with their Ohio brethren in opposing grants of public lands, money subsidies or extension of the government credit in the construction of railroads.

Joshua Chamberlain, of Maine, is a true penny, on the right side every time. He tried to push the endorsement of President Hayes through the convention yesterday, but the Philistines were “too much for him.”

Thkrk is about as much significance in the meeting of the German and Austrian emperors as the rubbing of noses by two kings of cannibal islands—men whose principle is selLJnterest and whose policy is a question of success. The spectacle of Franz Joseph and "Wilhelm at Icchil yesterday recalls the frantic journey of the French ambassador to F.ms, several years ago, to get insulted by the German emperor in order that France might have a cause for declaring war.

The disaffected wing of Ohio republicans are reported a* bitterly denouncing the resolution endorsing President Hayes and as taking measures to secure organized co-operation in their opposition. It amounts to just this: A republican victory in Ohio is of signiflcance as an endorsement ‘ of President Hayes. They are short sighted politicians who do not see this. Let it become apparent that the republican victory, is not such endorsement and there will be no republican victory. The main body, who passed the resolution of confidence at Cleveland, are already handicapped with a candidate who has identified himself with communism; and let this little “opposition” element attempt to gratify its. malice and both sections will be .left ho'ding the bag while the democrats walk off with the candle.

“Blissed are the peace-makers.” That is the latest attitude in which the public finds the adroit Mr. Blaine of Maine. He makes a virtue of necessity. He carries h’S point without incurring the odinm that attaches to it A resolution is offered in the republican state convention endorsing President Hayes. Mr. Blaine would rather see him damned. So we see some man springing up with a counter-resolution endorsing that precious pair of knaves, Chamberlain and Packard, anda wrangle ensues, and Mr. Blaine, urifjHint of the convention, becomes thtrolessed peace-maker by stepping down and having both resolute u tabled. This is done. So Mr. B'aindfrarries the Maine republicans past Pre-ident Hayes without an endorsement, and at the same rime does not incur the odium which will fall on any politician of whatever party who condemns the policy of the president, which has been simply a policy of good morals and honesty.

THE INDIANAPOLIS DAILY NEWS: FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10. 18T7.

Iowa’s anathama has not yet found j an echo. Since the Hawkeyes con« demced President Hayes’s policy they have been going around on tip-toe that they might hear the thunders of their voice given back all over the north. At last accounts they had a hand behind each ear, and had stopped still. Perhaps it may yet dawn on them that their resolution was something like the rats’ abolition of the cat. It ought to dawn on them since the convention of Maine republicans. In Mr. Blaine’s rock-rooted diocese they refused to condemn the president, and this, too, in the face of Mr. Blaine’s efforts. Yesterday, in reiterating his sentiments on this subject, he virtually declared his inability to bring about this condemnation, and pleaded that in the interests of harmony the subject •hould be dropped. That matters should have reached this sta<je at this time shows how steadily and swiftly President Hayes is winning his way. Five months in the presidential chair and fronia declaration of open war by the Blaine faction there is not force enough left to tire off a paper resolution. In the meantime the south is at peace for the first time in nearly a score of years. No soldiery within her borders. No outlawry or murder either. Can not the fanatics of tbe republican party see the signs of the time? Can they not look back on the five months’ work of President Hayes, in the face of greater obstacles than ever surrounded a president, and recognise that the force which has accomplished these great things is baeed on the will of the people? That without that nothing could have'been dene, and that the penny whistle opposition to such a force is as futile as Canute’s order to the sea? When Mr. Blaine can not muster sufficient following in his own state to fire a paper wad at the president, we think the implacables had better follow the example of the “ex-rebels” and acknowledge the truth of the old saw, “handsome is as handsome does.” It is little short of insanity for a body of men to say President Hayes’s policy is a failure in tbe face of the brilliant success it has achieved, and to say that it is wrong when the fruits of it have been peace and good will.

THE BATTLE OF BENNINGTON.

There has been a very pretty lesson in journalism taught ip this community within the last fortnight. It is a lesson that has two sides to it, and might instruct the public also as to what they can accomplish when they will. The sole proprietor of the Journal three weeks ago ‘published his intention of starting a Sunday paper, in a very defiant notice'briatliog with finality. It was reasonable to suppose that the example of the man who is to build a house, spoken of in the scriptures, had been well weighed, and that the Sunday Journal would be here when Gabriel came. The de-

Preparatiositt for (ke Grand Centennial Celebration—Tke President and Ollier Dignitarlea to be There. On the 15th, 16th and 17th of this month the battle of Bennington will be celebrated together with commemorative exercise* of Vermont’a one hundredth anniversary its a state. The president will arrive on Tuesday the 14th inat, occompa nied by Vice President Wheeler. Secretary Erarls (* bo is now at his Vermont farm, in WindtorX Attorney General Devtr s, Postmaster General Key and Vice Admiral Brown, of the navy! Among others who have given assurance of their presence are Governor Luddingtoa of VViscensin, Governor Prescott of New Hampshire, Governor Van Zmndt of Rheae Island; Governor Rice, of Massachusetts; Governor Cnlien, of Hl.nois, and Governor Drew, of Florida It is quite likely that the occasion will also be graced by the presence of Chief Justice Waite, Carl Schurz, Governor Matthews, of West Virginia, and Governor Williams, of Indiana Wednesday, the 15'b, is for tbe celebration of tbe state’s indepand ente. There will bs a salute at sunrise by the Fuller battery of Brattleboro, and rirging of bells; at ft a m. the procession will form and maren through the principal streets to the pavilion on the grounds, whtre there will be tbe usual address At 2 p. m. there will he a review of the Vermont veterans by Governor Fairbanks and staff, and President Hayes will hold a reception with the governor for the veterans after the exercises at the pavilion. A public reception by President Hayes will be held from 3 to 6 p m. In tbe evening there will be an ill imination. On Thursday, the 16th, will come the grand celebration of tbe week, which will involve a monster procession, an oration, a poem, a banquet and a general illumination of the town in the evening by torchlights and fireworks. President Bartlett, of Dartmouth college, Hanover, New Hampshire, is to deliver the oration, this selection being made, it Is said, on at count of the highest honors of the day belonging to New Hampshire; for it was Stark's brigade, with help from Berkshire county, in Masescknsetta, which defeated Burgoyne’s troops. Dr. Bartlett is a descendant of Josiab Bartlett, who fought in the battle to be commemorated and who signt'd the declaration of independence, ai d was at one time governor of the state. William Cullen Bryant, of New York, but a native of Berkshire county, Mass., is to be tbe poet of the occasion. The procession will include about all tbe militia and civic organisations in Vermont, the rear being brought up probably by tbe stalwart legislators of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, both of which bodies are coming in full force at the expense of their respective commonwealths. A large tent for tbe banquet will be erec.ed and plates will be laid for 4,000 persens; and in the tent where the oration is to be delivered there will b-i accommodations for a concourse of 15,000. Friday, tbe 17tb, will be given up to a parade and review of the Vermont militia. The battle of Bennington was a most timely victory by the raw militiamen of New England over the regular English troops. The cause for which our brave forefathers were shedding their blood seemed to be sadly on the wane everywhere, and it seemed as if all that had been gained at Banker Hill two years before was to be lost, and that the whole American army was to be annihilated. Burgoyne and hisconfident army bad marched down from Quebec, con pelled .early in July 1777,by the evacaation of Ticonderoga, acknowledged to be the key to New England and New York, and was proceeding to unite with Sir William Howe on the lower Hudson, and thus cut off from the rest of the colonies and capture and subjugate this whole eattem counlry. All this would have been accomplished but for tbe defeats at Bennington and in the Mohawk valley, ending in the surrender st Sarat >ga.

fiance in this notice was flung at public opinion. It was evident that the Journal’s patrons were opposed for moral reasons to such a publication, out public opinion and private interest were to lie down together and the press was to lead them. Here was a fine chance to demonstrate the “power of the “press.” It was an issue fairly joined ; power of the press vs. public opiniou. In two weeks there was a verdict for the defendant. The plaintiff was knocked out of time so to speak as completely as the ambitious young steer who joined issue with the locomotive—there was some hide and tallow for sale. In this there is this truth demonstrated, something all journalists know or ought to know and something the public ought to know too, viz: That a newspaper has great influence as long as it leads public opinion and none at all when it opposes it. Tuis is meant in the broad general sense, in those things which are based on the very bed rock of public determination, tbe deliberate conviction of the intelligence among the people. Against this laws are powerless, governments go down and the “power of the press” is a rope of sand. There are minor things, matters of surface direction, in which the press is a teacher and jjuide, but its appreciable influence is measured by the extent to which it works in unison with the public conviction. It is this that assigns newspapers their relative places, of great influence, little influence or no influence. The latter are the papers withoat char-acter-pirates, vagrants, hangers on just within the verge of decency and law. They are almost without weight on any question, and as a paper rises above this low plane and comes into harmony with the great enlightened mind of public opinion, which with us is in the main correctly attuned to questions of morals and government, to that extent has a paper influence. Some times this public opinion t>ecomes debauched or prejudiced on certain things. Public opinion in the north was turned awry on the “bloody shirt” business, but it neoded only the example of one brave man in the president’s chair to carry not only the north but the south clear of the mania. In this the press aided. Had it not been in the right it would have gone down. That is the test in every question. When the press is in opposition to public opinion, if that opinion does not turn in unison with the press, the press has to go down. Witness the Sunday Journal.

SITTING Bl/LL. lie is Well Fixed, but Wants to renderThe minister of the interior of the Dominion of Canada is in Washington conferring with the president and cabinet concerning the return of Sitting Bull and his people from the British possessions to the United States. „.T.:e commissioner of Indian atiairs says that by last accounts Bitting Bull is not more than one hundred milts from Fort Buford and the mouth of the Yellowstone, and if he has a thousand warriors, which is the lowest estimate of his forces, be can come down into Montana and Dakota, doidg great damage and giving a great deal of trouble even if he dots not effect a junction with Joseph’s band of Nez Perces. There are besidts in the section to the northwest of that point a great number of disaffected Indians scattered along the section bordering the British possessions, who can easily join with the hostile Sioux. It is stated that Sitting Bull is anxious to surrender to the United States before winter comes on, and the proposition to send a commissioner to him will be considered by the cabinet.

CHICAGO LETTER. How Her. Joseph Cook Escaped from the Rioters. Ccmspomlence of The Evening News. Chicago, August 8. Our journey hither was plowed through efetes by the Peru mate. A friend to# seme day essayed the Kankakee route. When com pari ig notes in this city he was compelled to admit that the ride was one of tbe most fearfully unpleasant ha be had made in forty years. As to the boasted purity of Chicago air on account of the everlasting prairie winds, we demur mofet emphatically. Whetoer it be the immortal smells of Bridgeport, outvieing the forty-nine of Cologne according to Coleridge, or whether from the scores of miles of uusewered streets or Lorn the vast amount of bilge water standing around the square miles of shanties, we aver not, but if any sane dweller in Indianapolis and who keeps up with the race of this fast age by reading The Daily News decides that the air of the garden city is as pure as his own we will vote him a writ of lunacy. Our day like that of Joppa has its Jonahs. The world wide reputation of the Rev. Joseph Cook will not be tarnished we believe,by the relation of the following incident in his peregrination in the west. As his mission in Breton was to teach the cultured hubbites that their famous say ing is not true, “One born in Boston need not be bom again,” so his visit among ns, the Hoosieis and Wolverines ought to have made him more bold than Jonah, who refused to peach, by running away and puttii-g out to sea. But the Rev. Cook perhaps made due regard to his health, and did- not venture to follow the steps of him of Joppa. His lecture was due here just as the riot culminated, and the mayor wisely forbade it, and all other large public gatherings. The waves of the angry crowd, excited by either real or fancied wrongs, surged through the great arteries of living humanity m this city. Their roar and fierceness were felt in'the Palmer house, in the avenne, where his family were staying. Mr. Cook had a princelyhearted friend in the north, and for quitfs sake, gathered bis duds together, and rushed through Wisconsin into the north of Iowa, where hie friend’s mansion was located, near his immense saw mills, where quite an army was in his employ. All was ttrene when he arrived. He thanked his stare that the angry, surging mob of Chicago conld not reach that peaceful habitation, hundreds of miles d-stsnt. But hark! What means that army of 6C0meu rushing down tbe road? They are the employes of Rev. Cook’s friend, ' mine host.” Their dlstqrbed, riotous bearing bodes no good. With fierce countenances and loud threatening words they surround the noble mansion. Their employer has been kind and has done all that reasonable men could demand, during the fierce financial storm so long racing But passion knows no argument They demand extortionate advance of wages and threaten to burn his elegant villa and all his splendid furniture. Poor Mr. Cook did not relish the aspect of things He began to doubt if he had not made a very poor exchange. He c irtainly had tbs prospect of tenting out among tbe pineries of the north. By fa'r promisee the angry rising was quelled, and our Jonah, we opine, concluded wisely never again to run from danger or duty. Alerkd,

The yiaine Convention. Upon the reassf-mblin^ of the Maine convention yssterday afternoon Governor Conner was nominated unanimously and by acc’amation.

We can not take action either way without offending good men and creating needless heart burnings and dissensions.”

Evidenee of its efiicacy is constantly muHtplyins, and this relates not only to cases of dyspepsia, bat also liver complaint, constipation, urinary and uterine troubles and malarial disorders.

But. so familiar is the public with the real elixir, that these nefarious attempts are rarely successful. Neither imitation or competition affect the popularity of the standard article. so?
