Write it 1885 HAPPY NEW YEAR Let everybody rejoice. Now make your good resolutions. The day of whereases and new resolutions has come. Close up the holiday season in good form. "Business!" to-morrow Our friends one and all have our cordial wishes for a very happy New Year. The French Chamber of Commerce has declared itself in favor of free trade. In the iron trade in Great Britain, wages have been reduced 30 per cent in the last year. The very same papers that were blowing for the Jim Blaine processions over the North are now tooting for the Sam Randall precessions in the South. The Indianapolis Herald does itself credit by saying: "Judge Turple is the ablest Democrat in the State. His logic is clear and strong, and he is master of a fine literary style. Why does the Democratic party neglect him?'' Now that John Roach has reduced the wages of his ship-yard employees below the wages paid by English ship builders he will, of course, no longer ask for Government subsidies to enable him to compete with foreign builders. The Connersville Examiner well says: "The delinquents are what embarrass the publisher, and we now say to all who owe us any amount on subscription, that we need the money and earnestly solicit all to pay without further delay. If there are any persons taking oar paper who do not intend to pay, we will take it as a favor if they will let us know. If there be any who are too poor to pay and who still want the paper they shall have it, for we know the number who are too poor is very small." The Republican Court House ring built the temple of justice. If any vaults had been put in it the rings could not steal the ballots from time to time and manipulate them in the interest of the Republican candidates. They are stored away in an upper room, with an open transom over the doer, so as not to give the ballot burglar any trouble. If there were vaults to secure the tickets the poor burglar might fall to get them, or he might get caught, which would be a very sad affair. - Sentinel The Judge of the Criminal Court is a Democrat. The Grand Jury is under his control. If Judge Nerton has moved a finger toward the discovery and indictment of the scoundrels who stole the ballots wa have not heard of it. -Journal. Don't fly the track. The Judge needs no defense. He looms up monumental in comparison with several Republicans who preceded him. That is not the point, however. The Republican rings built the Court House and if there are no vaults it is their fault. , HON> GEORGE W. JULIAN Thre is perhaps no man in Indiana, formerly a member of the so-called Republican party, who has done more to accomplish its overthrow than the distinguished gentleman whose name appears above, jr'resh from the halls of Congress, where ha had deservedly achieved a National reputation, he came to H3 In 1S72, aud has ever since, through every vicissitude of political fortune, adhered faithfully to the Democratic cause, and strenuously advocated it3 succ?s3 in the State and Nation. Thoroughly imbued at tho time he left public life with a profound distrust of those modern leader who falsely claimed t be the successors in policy and principle of Lincoln, 'Chase, Savra:i and Steven3, the former Lead3 of the great political organization with whom ho u filiated. Lb has spared no pains, has etintod no labor, to impress upon the people at large hij own ideas of the niter worthlersr.e's and thorough dishonesty of the?e latter day saints cf Recblicinisai. He ka3 bcrne aa active, proa;!nent and efficient part, upon th.3 sida Of right, in the successive Presidential canvass of 1S72. IST;, 1330 and 15SI. Fourteen years of steady, earnest advocacy, both with the voice and pen, of Democratic tenets do merit some reward, do de:ervo snb-tislial racDgiiition, and we trust, whether asked or unasked, that it will b? accorded. Wholly honest and independent, endowed with rare gifts R3 a popular canvasser, Mr. Julian's course in the abandonment by him of his former party fellowships h3 not only made him an exile from any hope of public preferment, bat has also subjected him. continuously to the lowest and yilert species of proscription and persecution. The opposition press and platform, in the face of the undeniable fact that hi3 change cf course, at the time it occurred, must Lave been to his individual disadvantage, have teemed with imputations upon hi3 personal motives and character. In the conflicts of the subsequent campaiens, respecting this matter, we frankly say we thine the subject of thi3 article does not remain a debtor. He has returned blows as hard as any of t.ose given, and in some notable instances which wa might recall has achieved a ru?nifest triumph over his a3sailant3. Cut this only entitles him the more to ome acknowledgment of the services so rendered. Ve do not know of any citizen Eastthere i3 certainly no one in the West who Las ai thorough an acquaintance and exact knowledge as he of the system of public lands and land grants; the legislation, rules, regulations and decisions of Congress and the departments respecting them. Indeed, tefore leaving the Houss of Representatives, in which he served so long, he had become a

re' ognTzed authority with all parties on this fubject His occupancy of some official position in relation to these affairs would be a pledge to the people of a wise, un;elfish and thoroughly pure management of the trust committed to his care. Mr. Julian i3 Dct rich in this world's goods; a great part of the prime labor of his life has been devoted to the advocacy of those great measares the discussion of which has at last given us tie advantages and opportunities of power. At such time he should not bo forgotten. We have written th;3 in all candor to other aspirants, with the wish that he may be remembered.

ANNO DOUONI 1835. The Sentinel extends the compliments o! the Nw Year to its patrons. There ia a sentiment belonging to the day which takes hold of every heart a secret summoning of hepe, resolution, zsal, to have the New Year witness worthy performances by etch of us. The weak would faiu demonstrate strength; the erring would be pood; the rtocd be better. To all it should be a day of good feeling. Vhatever of asperities between frienis that have marred the passage cf tho ratired yeei, Ehcnld be fprgotten amicUt the cheerful ?reetiig3 over the advent oi the cc v. The resources for successful work and contentment in life will be strengthened by clearing away even the shadows of d:sjgreeicent3 with associates. Tceah.-enceof political turmoil during 15 13 cause for congratulation. The mluds and hands of the peopl3 will be given to industry. A ye&rof such abnormal excitement as the part has been is not promotive of prosperity. Now too the country is free trorn the uncertainty cf administration in which it wa3 involved during ten months of 1S1. It may ba said too, that, rezardlesa of party, the country h33 coniilmce in both tho honesty and ability of the administration Mr. Cleveland is to give us. There is no rc33on why the Nation may not settle down to labor, which earnestly followol, must insure plenty, even if not plethora, of the stafTof lif for all. One boon lb3" holds out to the Republic in a measure not known since is that of peace and prosperity between the North and the South. Of course a whirling and shouting political devnsh will now and then be found in both the North and the South to break upon the serenity with his orgies I'-ut the peaceful public will only cb3?rva him asit would any ether crank and then pasahimby. The grefct masses of each section have the utmoit respect and good feeling for the sreat m&sses of the ether section, and do demagogical newspapers nor men en mar the unity tnat has come to the country. We heartily wish and confide ntly expect the new year to be far the mc:t admirable of any prcdeces3or within a quarter of a century. MB. RANDALL'S MISSIONARY V70RK. Mr. Samuel RauduU iuay now be considered the Republican leader in Congress. The Republican Idea comprised two ambitions: The offices and protection. The othces being lost to the Republican, thoir interest now settles undiyidedly on protection. Mr. RanrTa'.l represents a Republican district. No other Democrat could be elects i from it. Mr. Rindall could not but for the ;hr?wd perception of his Republican constituents that it is to their interests to hive him in Congre23. He has brains, spacious delivery and poses as a Democrat. In the atter role he i3 more likely to influenca Democratic votes tban w?re he, ostensibly, a Republican. For all that the Republican party has at stake during Democratic administrations Sam Kiudall is an uitr.4 Republican. Tberraisesof tin people cf the United States recognize that the co'itinu-j-.r.crt of high protection ia solely for the benefit of capital engaged In manufacturing. Ir wes largely in recognition of this that J3rres 0. Rlaine's unparrallekd campaign resulted in grief. Toe majority of the people have had their eyes opened to the fact that the boattvt protection of American labor is a delusion and a anare. All that is left ot tb.9 Republican party to day i3 a compact band cf capitalists with the politicians they own and the foll jr.ers t'uey caa d3ceive. Mr. Randall is a3 completely the tool of that Republican ba-id aa m Mr. Kelly of the 83u,8 State, llu protectionist supporters ar9 the men and the money composing the monopoly corporations that grew rich'on a protection which doubled, thribbled and quadruped the wages paid their operatives. Mr. Rand.ill reprenla an idea which ha3 throttled the warkinpjmen of Pennsylvania and ether protected States, and grcund them in poverty while making miilicnaires cf the owners of ths mills. Mr. Randall is telling the people of the South that protection will beneSt their sectier. Will it? Doss be point them to his own State for illustration of his proposition? There protection hs.3 had sway ; almost every iudestry ha3 been under Its sheltering wing; and yet, in what Stste of the thirty eight is there more dire poverty among its laboring clarses? There are thousands and scores of thousands of miners and iron werken who, year in and year out, are paid barely a sufii;lcncy to feed aod clothe them, even when cot shut out entirely from work, as multituhsof them now are. Unlettered colored laborers in the most barren regions of the cotton States are better assured of bread than are white worken in manufacturing districts of Pennsylvania. But Mr. Randall will omit mention of these people when talking cf bis "great and wealthy" State. He can point to his own sleekly-attired person; to P. F.Jones, Chairman of the Republican National Committee (who could contribute thousands to the campaign fand, which, hs will now make bck from hi3 working people by the reduction he haa made in their wages); to the millionaire heads of the great iron corporations, whose interests he ia seeking to subserve by his tour of the South. Tte truth is the oath does not need protection. 8he has beds of coal and iron and limestone grouped in the same localitea;

cotton growing on the banks of water courses with power to turn the cotton mill?. The South can compete with Great Britain in the production of pig-iron and cotton fabrics, and If she 13 wise enough to repudiate the selfish Republican measures Samuel J. Randall I3 championing she can have the skilled artisans of Pennsylvania come to b?r, and supply the North with ere and cotton goods, and snap h?r finger3 in thj face of Great Britain in the markets of the world. Mr. Randall and bis Republican allies havt had their fea3t from high protection at the expense of ths American people, cow let them retire from the boards while the psople take a turn at theru.

The Journal rinds in the crowds and processions greeting Mr. Rindall in the South prco! that Mr. lUndall will impose himself and hi Repnblicm do?trins npou the South. A few months ao Mr. Blaine w?s met by infinitely greater crcwJs and pro-c-fs-'iorfr in Indiana, bat failed to impose himself or his Republican doctrines or: Iudisnh. And Blaine was magnetic!

At an early hear thij morning Captain Miller, ntght turnkey at the Jail, went into the main body cf the building, where the mofct darjerou3 prisoners are kept, to release from his ceil a man who complained that he was very Eick. He had no tconer opened the door than a gans of prl3csers five or six in number jumped on bim nnd bean beating bim in a most unniercifr.l manner. They ccaüy tock his sun away frcm bim and threw bim into the cell which be bad just opened. They then marched up to the d.oor leadicg to the office, and commanded a trust to pull back the lever by which the door is opened and thut and re!eae them, but be refused.

who socn came, and released the turnkey from his predicament, locking the refractory prisoners in their cells again. T II E POLICE IiOAU i).
