Aa to Inconsistency. Upon the publication of Judge Thnrman’s letter ot aeeopUaoo wo said: "It ia a simple, straightforward document that states the Democratic doctrine as embodied in the question of tariff reform ia its strongest way. Ha makes of tho tariff what it it, simply taxation. He then effectively declares that a poople can not get rich by taxing themselves, and urges that ia tha Democratic party lies tha only ra> lief." This strikes our esteemed contempo rary, the Lebanon Pioneer, in suctfa way aa to cease it to print it with this introduotion: "The following item from Tha Indianapolis News shows tho inconsistency ot that paper when it supports General Harrison on a high protective platform.” Thera era in that utterance of Tha News two opinion*? One that tho tariff i* a tax; tha other that people can not set rich by taxing themselves. Those opinion* Wo have ever bald, and never surrendered. Tli* inconsistency which our contemporary sees in a reaffirmation of these principle*, while in its language wa “support General Harrison on a high protective platform” exiata only, if it will pardon ns, ia its own party prejudice. Because after four years the Democratic party has declared for a doctrine which The News has held (or many times four year*, our contemporary put* the alternative that on account of ^is coincidence in one thing we are inconsistent tn not accepting the Democratic party in all and becoming its advocate. If there ia freedom ot opinion in this country we have exactly the ammo right to a quarrel with the Democratic party *beoanse It doe* not agree with The Newe in other things; civil lervice reform, for instance; high licensa and local option; an honest and pure management of onr State benevolent institutions. Are you there, neighbor? By what right do yen accuse Tha News of inoonsistenoy, whan it ia to-day with more urganey than aver, standing for the things it long has stood for, and ia proving its fidelity nnd independence by supporting those things ia tbs advocacy of the eleetioa of candidates from both parties, thus foregoing the encomiums of any party. S pacifically aa to car con temporary'a statement that The News ia supporting Harriaon upon a high protective platform, it i* doing nothing of the kind, in evidenca of which we refer to the reasons of this sup* port, which we gave the day after Harri* eon’s nomination and to many itarationa thereof which wo have given since. On the contrary to supporting Harrison on a high protective platform w* are sapporting Bynum on a tariff-reform platform. VV* are supporting Harriaon oa h civil service plattorm ia the assurance that hi* election would mtere au ending of spoils debauchery whin tha Democrat* have wrought with the eivil service. Wa are supporting Harrison as a nuftter of state advantage. Wa are supporting him in a the knowledge of his eminent fitness nnd ability. With this support w* go further to tha Republican state cause for bare w* also find that we can attain the same consummation of civil service reform; that with a Republican triumph there wa shall have onr State institutions token out of polities and established upon a non partisan basis, that thus our state may rank in deeency nnd efficiency concerning . the** things with nil tbs best state* In the Union. We find too ia the triumph of this advocacy an overturning of tha unjust Democratic gerryatandgr by which so many oittaens an robbed of a right whioh ia snppoaad to be theire inalienable. W* can also hereby saonre a high license and local option law. AD tbeee things are thinga that The Haws has advocated early sad often. Bceaas* it hap pans to be the Republican party that has declared for moot ol these thinge, matter! aa litti* to ns aa does tha fact that ia urging car belief apon tariff quaatiooa wa fiad them upheld by a Democrat. In each and every case we have declared for tha candidate and party that baa raft-, resented lb* priaoiplaa w* believe ia. ^ This is at ones the privilege and doty of independence in polities—a position that wa glory ia. Wa fiad no source of mi*undarstendinar in it aaseng our reader*, and have not found from the beginning through all those years during whioh these readers have so multiplied tha t bow they outnumber those of aovaral other papers ia tha State combined. Wo do find miannderalanding or mtyudgmsnt among party newspapers, at sundry times. Aa w* took oecaaioa to aay tho othar day, it. ia a common thing whoa Tho Now* expresses one or more princiolo* of a party to bo arraigaed by tha organa ot that party for not espousing all. Wa have not yet, within oar recollection, seen a justification of such arraignment by a party newspaper whenever it baa laid off its party armor and addressed itself to the situation, aa aa indapendent newspaper constantly addresses ilseif to all eitnatioaa, namely, by giving the reason*. And aa think that if our esteemed contemporary ot Boone County will thus reconsider its statement, that it will have tha grace to any that Tha Haw* ia iaoeasistent ia nothing hat that, at whatever coat, it has stood by its priaoiplaa.

fame years tha Congress becomes a President•taking Congress. The Democrats pushed the Hills bill to the front ter thair effort a President-making, and the Republicans seem to have fait it necessary to bring In the Senate Mil a* their effort. Bat before cither, the f people had taracd away from congressional definition and began to rend their newspapers aad economic documents and books. The iasus was long ago jAaed that there should be tariff reduction as against tariff aretotenanee. Partieslars amount to not a»eb. The people at once began to read aad think upon that statement. Current literature bps bean for months most largely made up ef eeonomio publications. Tb* book store* have especially advertised sack pabiiceuens. Popular qnariaa have conearned themselves ia vast majority with eoonetaic qeeatioca There have been great ehaogsa, eon versiom on both sides, bet we aay, to this Congress has counted for next to nothing. It is what tha “vague theorists” have written: what able man have uttered to have printed in the shape of a speech—bat it hue been the distribution of the dooameat, not the nadienee to the speech that counted, ^t boo been what newspapers have discussed. Those bnv* bean the manna by which popular instruction baa been made, and not the fact of < 'ongreas in aaasion, nor anything that it baa, done, Tha great general causa ot this ia act, doubtless, that Congress has deteriorated. We have little patience with the stock nonsense that is jeered and gibed in this way by meat newspapers, ft is donbtles* tha ehsnge in tha force of thincs that the age ef newspapers, and wider diffused education has wrought; the change which ia apparent in Congress itself from the old speech-making era to the era of bosinan* discussion and execution. This Congress could have better lived np to this state ef things and adjourned long age.

TCorrespondence of The Indianapolis Itewa] Fi.vevii.lk, Ky., October 15. — I did not get foiriy awake Thursday morning till nearly 8 o’eloek. A gentle down-pour of rein played snch a lullaby on the shingles and on tha broad drooping leaves of the cucumber trees growing on the mountain aide next oar window aa to bold as both under its watery spell. For two hours I had laid half aaleep, half awake, with senses so ■tnpefied by the soothing ‘‘susura” that I never onee thought d| the Cumberland River nor of Pine G ip. The view that wot me aa I stepped npoatbsPineville Hotel veranda, was, to pat it mildly, sarprieiag in a high degree. Monntains! mountain!! mountains! to the right and to the left, before and i*ehind, east,west, north, south, look whieh way I would, they closed in aronad me almost an

unbroken wall.

A triangular plot of low, level land, containing a hundred acres, mayba more, maybe lass, on the east and north sides ot whieh the Cumberland sent its clear waters rippling among jagged blocks of saffilston* nnd limestone, was tha site of Pineville— New Pineville—and here and there stood a smart, half-finished cottage, and down in tha right angle, formed by tbs sharp bend of the river, were n dozen cheap stores and cheaper hotels, bat cottage, store nor hotel had any charm* for me on that rainy Thursday morning. The deads were ploying hide nnd seek amid the trees growing npou tho mountains. Their torn and bedraggled edges clang to the oaks, tbeir limp folds enveloped the crags, and Joe nnd I forget our breakfasts in tbe enjoyment of the novel sight. How it did rate all that Thursday and all of Thursday aight and all of Friday and all of Friday night; not hard, like it usually rains at home, bat gently, softly, sotkiogly, sleepily, just enough to k**p us in-door* end make him yawn end wish fora aight of the aun; unless, as was tha case with ns. necessity compels him to go forth aad take the shower. There are few readers ef Tha New* to whom tha word Pinevifte has any sigeifi - canoe, but thare are many to whom Cumberland Ford means much. * In the early days thousands of families came down through the CamberJaud Gap and crossed at the Cumberland Ford on their way to find homes in tbe aaw State ot IndieaA The piece is historical. The first emigrants to Kentncky following the great Indian trail that, coming np from tha Holston and Clinch River Valievs, passed through the Cumberla nd and Pine gaps and over the river at this place, went on by the way of Crab Orchard to take possession ef Kentncky, and from that day to this the ford has belonged to

history.

There are two Pinevllles, the old and tha new, bat the old itself is of comparatively recent origin, it being only about fifteen or sixteen years ainoa it was first known as a mountain town. It is a quaint, queer looking place, one that a stranger could as easily believe to be 100 years old as fitteen. Perhaps its mountain projectors knew why they locnled it as their county aite in the gorge mad* by the rirer breaking through Pine Mountain and forming Pine Gap. The road ran* down through the gorge, and on either aide of that road, extending back from its northern end between one two-eigbtbs of n mile, is a row of log cebias and frame bonses standing flush with tne road, whioh varies ia width irom twenty to thirty feet. Th* new town, adjoining the old on the north, occupies the valley between Pine Mountain and the bend in tbe Cumberland, and up to ten months ago waa a farm—"The beat farm,” said an old settler, “in tbe county." The new town Waa laid ont by the Pine Mountain Iron and Coal Company, a Loniavilie corporation organised for the purpose of mining and utilising the coal and iron of the region, of which there aeams to be no end. The Louisville A Nashville Railroad is extending a branch line through tha Cumberiaoil Gap to aome point beyond, and already the ears have reached Pineville. Tqp projectors are making the most of their oppor-

on the 29th day of this month they will sell lota in Went Pineville, Whieh lies, or ia to lie,

I don’t know where.

Bat all this by the way. We came to make a voyage down the Cumberland and flab and shoot, not to speculate in town lots, and the first thing wa did was" to hnnt np Jake Shack, tbe local ship carpenter, and set him to work on n Kentueky Joe boat, with which to dare tbe navigation of the Cnmberlaad. This was Thursday forenoon, Bind Jake said he won|d have our craft ready by tbe next day evening. Then, in spite of the soft, insidious rain. We waded around in the soapy Ptnavilie mad to see tbe people end learn what we might expeot for our rods

and guns.

It did not take long to discover a difference ‘ between the old town nnd the new greater then that whioh the esrneeters had mads. In the new the people who wear store clothes live, while in the old are the men ia homemade apparel. In th* new the residents are recent importations, mainly from Louisville nnd the Bine Grew region, while in the old the mountain men live. In the new ia the foundation for the new Court House, whieh is to be, when completed, an imposing atrnctare of brick nnd stone; in the old stands the old Court House on n Dig, flat rock up against the very foot ot th* mountain, and a modest frame structure it ia, not much, if any, larger than an Indiana frame school house of the pattern moat ia vogn* tweaty years age. Climbing the elippery rock, Jee aad I followed the crowd into tbe court house one day to witneaa the proceedings ot a Bell County Court. Aa we pawed in out of the fog and drizzle tha Judge ordered his bailiff to "set oat th* obeera,” and w* took seats inside the bar. Th* cause on trial was between th* "old and the new” one, wherein the new railroad company was waking to settle a question of damages for running its track through an old mountaineer's farm. Four lawyer* stood in the breach on the one •Ida and two on the other, nnd loch another snapping and snarling and growling and barking 1 never heard. They were evidently mountain lawyers, four at the least living right hare in Pineville, and whatever they may have lacked in learning they more than made np in vigilance. The .1 adgs, a tali, gray massed old follow, had a way of bringing the im petnous barristers to order that was truly refreshing. He waa a mu of few words aad gave no reason* for his raliags. All moot points ware argued from the spliut-bottom chairs ia whieh the six lawyers aat, aad tha lour oa tbe ooe aide usually talked at ones. In tha midst of the clatter the Judge weald smite th* unpninted poplar board in front with bia beuy knuckles, aad, after deriding tha question at imae in the fewest words aa peasibte, ended by saying: "That's the law. Now go on." Quit* an amusing episode occurred when the railroad’s attorneys began on th* rebatml. They called tor Jack Adser, whereupon thair antagonists as on* man raised a mighty outcry. Adzer’s very name seamed to sot thom wild. It was the red flag tor their anger. The gist of their objection, as I gathered it, waa that Adser had been oa the witnees stand in chief, aad since then had talked to »bo lawyer* on th* opposite side, whieh last seemed to bo against tha rales ia this court. After the outburst was Over th* Judge decided that Adser should coma bank. H* said ha had talked with tha witaasa himself, and that th* witaasa wanted to make a correction. So Adser earns bask, and ha began by saying: "If 1 testified yesterday that tha damnge wna $50.0001 meant $500,000.” Tbe fear lawyers quivered andgrineed. The two railroad lawyer* war* disconcerted and aqnirraad. One of them began: “Do vou mean to any " "Hugh! Oaghl Hold oa!” began the four, bat the court rapped hia bony ku tickles oa tho poplar board aa<i thare wa* silanes. ’Til aak a question myself,’’ said be. “Mr. Adser, do yon mean $50, $500, $5,000, $50,000 or $500,000?” Mr. Adser came to himself at once. Hte Honor had

VvVj,,

emphasised the five thousand nnd th* witBern said “fiv* thousand” aad thra stopped aside. At the clooa of th* evidence the railroad attorneys naked for further iaatraotiooa. I remember when at law school hearing Judge Hughes, who waa at th* head of that department, tell a story of an Indiana Judga’s instruction to his jury. “Gentlemen of tha jnry. yen must decide this ease oa tbe law aad the aridoace. if you find the plaintiff has the most avid^ca on hia aid* you must find for litm; aud if yon find th* defendant has the most on his side, why find for him, ■wear a bailiff." I have since learned that tha Judge’s story was a Joe Miliar, aud I hava since heard it la one form or other told on a good many Indiana Judge*. Judge Hughes waa a good hater and never spared a man he did not like. Yet his story may have been true for storia* are like history in this, that they repeat theaserivee. Now here was this grizzly old County Court Judge instructing hia jury in substantially these words: "You must taka a survey of the whole case aud if after considering nil the advantages and disadvantage* to the land from tha batiding of the road you come to the eonelusion there wili be a damage you must aay by your verdiet what that damage ia.” The. railroad iawyara insisted on further and more specific instructions bat Jndex said "no,” nnd Mount Occident, whose treegrown summit overshadowed hia little temple of justioa, was not more firmly fixed in her ■eat than he in hia mind when it wa* one* made up. One of tbe thinga that struck me at I looked at these Pineville people was the predominance of tall men. Of the twelve men oonstitntiag the jnry in the railroad case, eight at least were six feet in tbeir stockings or more. Here at the hotel 1 am coutinuallv being reminded of this elongated phase of Kentncky humanity. Oa* follow stalks around six feel six inehee high and there is said to be running loose in these monntains somewhere ateliow who measure* seven feet and a half from heel to crown. This ia tb* land of long aud alender legs and erect bodies and if there was only a hula more muscle, a litti* more filling cat both before end behind, and in fact all around, it woold be tbe land of the finest physical, manly development in the world. Both Joe and I have been doing onr beat to learn something of the kind of sport we may expect on our voyage doom the Cumberland. The first one who claimed knowledge was an eighteen-year-old lad who carried an old Kentncky rifle almost as long as a typical man of tbe mountains. He assured us that the hunting had been spoiled, but the fishieg was superb. "There are a good uieny squirrels, n good many pheasants, some turkeys, now and then a dear, once in a while a bear and one or two painter* in the mountains. It is most too late,” he said, "for jumpers, but cat fishin’ beats all. Down at tbe mouth of the creek two men put in dynamite and stunned a eat six feet and a half long.

"Fiahin’ tor jumpers is first rate np where I lire when you have good minnera.” "Well, can’t yon get good minnows np there?” "No, there used to be lots of ’em 'fore tbe jumper* came, but they've swallowed almost all of 'em.” It is not many years since the black bass waa planted in tbe Cumberland River above the Falls, and, according to all the testimony, they bare made a fairly oleau sweep ot tbe minnow inhabitants of the river and its tribatarie*.

fWashington Post.)

The proposition that all the world loves a lover probably does not hold good in Jacksonville now. Tide whole yellow fever bnainess is n love affair, or the result of a love affair. McCormick, the man who brought the yellow fever to Jacksonville, is a lover. His sweetheart waa in Tampa, and Tampa was isolated on account ot yellow fever. Bat yellow fever or no yellow fever, McCormick wanted to see hie girl, so he managed to ness the cordon and steal au interview with hie love. Then he came back to Jacksonville nnd brought yellow fever with him. Surgeon General Hamilton is authority for this short history ot tbe spread of yellow lever. It ie another confirmation of the wisdom of the ■age who oooa declared there woe a woman at the bottom of every mischief. The Sweet Use* of Advertising.

Tbe Best Remedy For Dyspepsia is Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Other medicines may give temporary relief ; bat Ayer’s Sarsaparilla makes a positive and permanent coro, ae thousands can testify all over tha country. " My stomach. liver, and kidneye were in a disordered condition for yearn," arritea R. Wild, of Hatto, Texas, "and I never found any medicine to relieve me, until I began to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Less than six bottles of this remedy cured me.” Mr*. Joseph Anbin, of Holyoke, Mass., was for a long time a severe sufferer from Dyspepsia, trying, in vain, all the usual remedies. At feat she began to taka Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and only three bottles restored her to perfect health. " Phare gone through terrible suffering from Dyspepsia and Indigestion," writes C. J. Bodemer, 140 Columbia st., Cambridge port, Mass., “and can truly say Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has cared me." Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, Prepared by Dr. J. C. Aver fc Co., Lorell, Maaa.
