B hot ii eh Moody asserts that he held Geierala Lee and Stonewall Jackson in high honor as Christiansand gentlemen. TnE rnmor that Senator Johnson, of Tippecanoe, is seriously ill, is not true. He will lake his seat in the Senate next Monday. Ocr Mattoon, III., correspondent telegraphs us that John M. Kelly, the leading grocery dealer of that city, failed yesterday. The alleged Republican disaffection did I not manifest itself at the annual pew-letting of Beecher's church. It was quite as lilent as the burial of Sir John Moore. The sooner the political life is stamped out of the men who prefer cheap whisky and tobacco to cheap articles of necessary consumption to the poor man's family the better. The Hon. Morgan Chandler, of Hancock County, declines the use of his name for Trustee of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum. This is to be regretted. Mr. Chandler would he a valuable addition to our Benevelent DcRiifQ the iMt fiscal year the tax collected I on distilled spirits and fermented liquors vf as $04,000,330. Mr. Randall desires to eee " ' , A, , . , this tax removed and the loss made up by an increase of the tariff tax on articles of necessity to the end of building up in yet grander proportions the profits of th monopolists. The announced determination of Republicans in certain quarters to go for liberal license laws and take to drinking themselves out of revenge upon the St. John men will give no fresh impetus to the liquor traffic .They have always been practieally for free rum, and have, &i a rule, imbibed freely heretofore. While calling attention to the excellent article headed "The Randall Scheme," copied from the Indianapolis News, we are conStrained to ask our neighbor how it ever screwed its admirable tariff hand into writing in support of Blaine for the Presidency? candidate who xaade his campaign almost solely upon the hih protection doctrine. Blaine was the ultra leader of the school which the News declares to be "the most dangerous enemies the country has just now." How must the News have been magnetized to give its support to oae of the most dangerous enemies the country had! Grant drinks ale now. A New York letter says: "One of the most pleasing things, yet touching to see, is old General Grant lame, past sixty, with his faculties sound, his cheerfulness undisturbed facing new methods to mare a living. I happened to meet him for a minute or two some weeks ago. The old man was drinking a bottle of ale. He is an extraordinary triumph of Trill over the animal man. Toward the close of his Presidency he made np his mind to drink no more. He has taken Diss' ale now and then when weak, and that is all. His akin has the healthy look becoming such temperance." That is all right, but wai it jiot vehemently denied during his Fresidsncy that he drank at all? Mr. Moody, the evangelist, denies, unqualifiedly, the charge that he once compared General Robert E. Lee and "atonerall" Jackson to the devil. He arrived in Richmond on Saturday last, and on Sunday morning the press ot that city contained bis mphatlc repudiation ot the story. "How," said he, "such a sentiment could have been attributed to me I can not understand. I have always looked upon these two distinguished sons of the South as the highest type of the Christian and soldier. On the Tory night of the day I am charged with making this uncharitable allusion to those two leaders I left New York for Augusta, Ol, when I preached for two weeks. Is it lUely that if I had used such language as that attributed to me I could have remained in the very heart of the South without having thl matter called to my attention? I luve preached tinea that time In Florida. BU Louis ac4 Taxas without ever hearing of

thl charge. I always aim to preach what I fee), and, as I haye said, I Lira always enterta'ned the highest respect for those two great Southern leaders. No, I can not think of anything that I hare said that anyone could possibly have understood te be an aspersion on Generals Lee and Jackson."

THE DEMOCRATIC EDITOR. "While the laurel Is being wreathed upon the brow of the Democratic statesman for Talor in the long, sanguinary and. finally, successful fight against the Republican party, let not the Democratic editor go undecorated. The statesman is a good fellow as far a3 he goes, but he goes neither as far ror as often ai the editor. The slatesrnan labors during the campaign -the editor toils alwaye. Tai statesman is really the handiwork of the editor; is proportionately great, honest or popular as the editor is pleased to fash'on him. The Statesiran i3 the throne; the editor the power behind it greater than the throne itself. For whatever of good looks, ability and renown the statesman enjoy?, let him give thanks to the editor. The Democratic editor is a "stayer." lie can discount a fighting-cock for gamene.-s and tho mule for endurance. Since 1803 he has been knocked out in six successive encounters in the National ring. But he came to the scratch for the seventh, "just a3 hard," and when the ether fellow p'eked himself up he believed it ws Sillivan who had hit him. He 13 weiring the belt cow-days. But it U 111? 4iIIx siar" editor upon w'-icce bead the Sentinel lays its hand in blessing. He Is with U3 to-day. He has come from his sanctum in the Ea3t border and the W3t, from the river tank and the lake-side, to "resolute" and rejoice on this, St. Jackson's Day. After twenty and five years of lamentation his political church is redeemed from bondage, and having had time for realizing the fact and the glory of its redemption he will now say with the Pfalmi3t: 'When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion we were like them that dream. "Then was our mouth filled with laughter and our tongue with 6iDging; then said thoy among the heathen, The Lord has done great things for them. "The Lord hath done great thing3for U3; whereof wa are glad." The Crusader wa3 not more valiant in his war to redeem the Holy Land from the infidel than has been the Democratic editor in his struggle to wre3t this land of liberty from the domination of the Republican. His long march has, like that of the Crusader, been over Eandy desert, under scorching sun, and in the face of the hot sirocco. He has been by calumny, and had the powers of government arrayed against him. But the fight . , . , . ni,, Ara ai had no terrors for him, nor could defeat dismay When he had rabbed lhe cam' paign dost cut o! his eyes and paid his ele:tion debts to h!s Rjpub'ican cotemporary over the way he would retire to hi3 smctum and read again these consoling words of St. Pail : ,kAnd let na not weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not." To the united labor of the Democratic editors of Indiana is chiefly due the cohesion of the party during the dirk years when tha edds were so overwhelmingly against it. To the editors who will assem ble in Convention in Indianapolis to day is the. country chiefly Indebted for the magnificent rally of the Democratic legions in the la'e campaign, resulting in the placing of Indiana permanently ia theD3mocratic column. Actuated by a lofty sense of patriotism, they have exerted theirenergies and contributed from their substance for achieving the overthrow of corrupt Republican reign and the re-enthronement of the Democratic party, under whose administration tho Republic enjoytd for so many years peace, prosperity and pro gress. Ana these laitniul wcrxers, we submit, should share and share liberally, in the distribution of places ot honor and emolument incident o! cur National They are the peers of to the change administration, any equal num.ber of citizens in respectability and intelligence. They need no written recommendation for business caps city, for a man who ha! shown himself competent to successfully conduct a Democratic paper under Republican administrations might be relied on to I hotel, a savings bank, a railroad, and I certainly a Government revenue office or poatofäce. We notice that several of these, our contemporaries in different parts of the State, will submit their applications for appointments under the incoming administration, and we hope to have the pleasure, in due time, of announcing their preferment. The Sentinel extends a hearty greeting to its brethren of the State press to Indianapolis and to its editorial rooms during their stay in the city. Sixatob Hawlky's defense or President Arthur's course during the summer doei not satisfy the Blaine Republicans in Washington. A Washington special says that a prominent Republican relieved himself as follows: "It ia not a question of what Mr. Arthur said; it is what he did. What could

he fay when any prominent Republican called upon him aik him what he was willing to do? There is nothing go cheap in the world as talk. I think that he might spare himself the trouble of siying anything more about it. E?ery one connected with the management of the campaign knows where Mr. Arthur failed to do what he might. Evidence on that could be piled up mountain high, but it is not worth the trouble. Mr. Arthur is being punished for his treacheiy, and no one more than himself has a better comprehension of that."

CLUBBING THE METROPOLITANS. Our Republican local contemporaries, now that the Legislature is assembling, have armed themselves with billets and ecga?ed :n a vigorous assault upon the Metropolitan police of Indianapolis. This is nothing new, however. Indeed, they organized a war upon the Mets before the latter were in esse. They even fought the bill in the Legislature of which the Mets are the offspring. Having had only enmity for the tree, it is not surprising that they have distaste for its fruit. Well, it i3 hardly to be wondered at that the Republican papers looz with jaundiced tyes upon our Metropolitan polica. Their inttalUtion was a tad blow to the accustomed Republican devices in Indianapolis. As cur contemporaries eyed the Metropolitans on the 4th ot November using their oiii&f s solely for the preservation of good order rather thin in bulldozing timid persons to vote the Republican ticket, their irnprecsttioi.s against the beys must have been vigoroc. But when tho following day they were imr-flltd to record a sleeping Democratic vie'ery ia Marloi Coaay they determined to re?or to outright clubbing o the non-parÜ33n cflicers and the police board. Hencs tha war they are waging. One excu.e i3 as good 83 another for the usa of the38 angered Republican papers against the force whose manly performance of duty on the 4th of November made impossible a repetition of the Republican fraud3 and bnlldczingi which had characterize! former election days. Let our unhappy contemporaries state whatever other grounds ot dissatisfaction they may, the real cause lies in the cue stated. The Metropolitan police administration of Indianapolis need3 no defense. Every fdir-mir.ded citizen recognizes that we have had under it the most raspectable and trustworthy force the city has ever known. Despite the intense excitement of the campaign year, with it3 numerous excursions, political gatherings, processions and parades, the best of order prevailed throughout 1831. The election day forned no exception to the rule. Compared with 18S2 and 1S30, it was Sabbath-like in its quietness. The police have had to contend with hordes of tramps and nomadic thieves more, perhaps, than hai the forc3 of any city of similar eizi in the country, owing to the greater number cf railroadj running to Indianapolis. And yet there is not a city of equal population that has suffered less from depredations from thieves. The excellent order which has prevailed has attracted admiring comment from visitors even from New England towns. The Metropolitan police have done and are doing the city good service. They will not be removed even by the editorial clubs of the dissatisfied Republican papers. SriUir OF THE STATE TUE S3. Fort Wayne Sentinel: Farmers who hold their products for higher prices are mating a great mistake. As scon as thsy sell and place the money thus obtained in circulation there will be not only an advance in the price of their products, but an increisei icnhdfnce with tne people, which will greatly benefit them in the future. Fountain and Warren Democrat: Makinx good resolutions ia akin to "making mone" ia this: Good resolutions do not make a parson better if they fail to keep their promise, any more than making money enriches i person If he fails ta save his earnings. It is r.ot what you promise to do, but what you really do, that brings about a change for the better. Losansport Fharos: Massachusetts, with a population smaller than Indiana, has 1G3 Savings Banks, the deposits in which amounted last year to $2G2,72!14n. It is qnite probable that the incoming Legislature will enact some law during the next session having in view the encouragement of these institutions. Tin average dividends paid on deposits in Massachusetts last year was over 4 per cent. White County Democrat: It is time for America to assert supremacy on this continent, and fully time when the United States should prepare, by rebuilding her navy and building and strengthening her coast de fenses, to give notice to the nations thou sands cf miles away that we are no longer infants in swaddling clothes, but full-grown men, ready, willing and capable of deciding what is best for America. The Winamao Dsmocratic Journal: If civil service reform means that all the Re publicans now in office shall hold the same during the Democratic administration of Mr. Cleveland, and all other Democratic admin istrations until the death of the present In rum bents, then, e opine, there are but few Democrats who favor such civil service re form. We believe, too, that it is an insult to the gr'.at Democratic party to be told that x a a a mere are not enougn oinonesi ana competent men in their organization to fill the public ofSces held to long by the party so recently routed. We do not believe that Mr. Cleveland so understands civil service reform, nor that he will attempt to carry out tms new doctrine. Dslphl Times: Ssnator Zimmerman, who will represent Fulton and Marshall Counties in the Indiana Senate for the coming ses sions, Is destined to become prominent in legislative circles. He is a solid, substantial ftcrman r! H-ron n f I? rvVi oatar mnA in Inn and successful business career has developed qualities and peculiarities tha; always mark a man of prominence foresight, judgment. earnestness and liberal-mindedness.

Township, Benevolent and Reformatory Institutions, etc. Hi associates will not be long in acknowledging his ability. Lafayette Dispatch: Taking a casualglance at the British Queen and her dominion it would seem that she had plenty of work without meddling on this side of tho pond or with our new Nicaraguan CanaL This is taking the correct view of it, and avoiding such complications as may not be agreeable or profitable. The English newspapers, too, appear to be satisfied with that policy. Let us have peace, the reciprocity treaties, the canal, the navy and reform. Crawfordsville Review: And now the late General W. T. Sherman turns up in Philadelphia, begging Drexel, Childs and others to assist in rescuing Grant's mortgaged property from Vanderbilt. Do these sly old foxes imagine the American people have become demented altogether? In the first place, Yanderbilt has no valid mortgage; in the second place, the assumed pledge to secure 200,000 covers nearly $1,000,000 of property, and in the third place it 13 all a mean, dishonest scheme to place U. S. Graut on a life salary of $19,000 an insult to every soldier who wa in the army. liullduztog. To tte Editor cl tho Sentinel: Sir. Does the President of the Dorsey Machine Work?, of Milton, Ind., require a man, seeking employment from the company, to show a substantial statement that he the applicant voted for Blaine and Loaan? If such is the case don't you think the Democratic farmers of the country can get alonar withoutthe labor-saving irachlnery produced by the Dorsey work?, thus giving employment to the men Who are refused employment simply because they exercised the same privilege cf American citizenship that the President cf tho Machine Works did when he voted according to the dictates of his own conscience? D. U. S. New Castle, Ind., Jar. 5, 1S35. Sir. Chandler Declines. To the Editor of the Sentinel: Sir I was surprised at the communica-

in your valuable paper suggesting my name for Trustee of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, signed by "Many Democrats." I thank my friends lor the complimentary mention ot my name, but I respactfully wish to say that I am not a candidate for any oliice, nor can I consent to the use of my name for that position. I am yours, etc., Morgan Chandler. Greenfield, Jan. 7, 18S5. SEXUXEL SPECIALS. Lafayette Notes. Special to the Sentinel. Lafayette, Ind., Jan. 7. Mrs. E. Towae, while passing the alley of J. B.

A large audience assembled last evening in the Plymouth Church to listen to tne joint readings of Mark Twain, the greatest or numonsts, ana tne renowned noveusr, George W. Cable. Ths entertainment was unique and pleasing, and the audience was in a high state of hilarity throughout the evening Air. Cable, an active little man, with a pleasant and intelligent face, attired in a full evening dress suit, stepped out of the vestry room on the rostrum, and without the formality of an introduction began to tell about Narcisse the Creole and John and Mary Richling. The former had one failing, that cf borrowing money, with no intention of ever payiiag it back azain. and Mr. Cable's description of the manner in which he sets about to secure John Richling ?.30 causes uproarious langhterjand applause. Naricisse discovers that John has placed that amount in the hands of Dr. Sevier for sate keeping and feels that he must borrow it. He explains to John and Mary the good re sults of investicg money, and finally con cludes by eayine: "Mistoo Ichlin, ia fact I can baw'that fifty dolta' fom you myself.'' Mr. Cable retires midst great applause. and there is much enthusiasm when the awkward and lanky Mark Twain ambles to the front After razing steadily at the flscr for a few FeconJs the great humorist begins his selection, "Advance Sheats from the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Huckleberry and Jim discuss "King Soliermun" at great length, and the latter can not do inaucea to Deueve mat ne was a wise man. Jim is astonish 8d when Huck informs him that Kings get as much as $1,000 a month part in groceries. Mr. Cable's next selection, "Kate RileylRichling and Ristofalo, ' is well received and Twain's "Tragic Tale of the Fishwife" is the cause of great hilarity. Mr. Cable then sings several Creole songs in a rich voice and is loudly en cored. "A Trying Situation," by Twain, is very ludicrous. "Mary's Mght lüde" is ren deied in a most graphic manner by Mr. Cable, holding bis audience spell-bound to the last word. Twain then tells a little story about "The Golden Arm," and the enter tainment comes to a conclusion. Taken all in all it was the best of the season. Capture of Chicken Thieves. For some time past a gang of local thieves have been making trips to the small towns throughout the State, relieving chickencoops of their feathered occupants and car rg off everything else that wasn't nailed. ing a specialty of the chicken business, were tracked to their homes on Torbet street yes terday by Patrolman Bruce, and locked up in the Central Station, where they cave the nkmes of James Sowders, Jim and George Flora, the two last named being brothers. The authorities claim that they nipped five cozen chickens at Danville on Tuesday night. and at once came home with the birds, which they disposed of at Budd's commission house. It is also understood that thes9 men have worked Brownsburg and Liztown to some extent. Supreme Court, The following decisions were rendered in the Supreme Court yesterday: 11,593.

THE AGRICULTURAL HOARD,

The Governor Criticised In the Mailer of Appointing a Xerr Orleans Commissioner. Several Papers Read Before the Board Nomination and Election of Members. The Delegate State Board ot Agriculture met again yesterday with a large attendance of members and visitors. A draft of an act for the prevention of contagious diseases was preeented by the State Veterinary Association, and Thomas Kelson, C. R. Stuart and S. W, Dungan were appointed a committee to consider the matter. Dr. R. T. Brown, Superintendent of the Geological department of tho State Fair, xnai6 a report of the matters connected with his department. The committee on premium list reported, suggesting numerous changes, including the abolition of sweepstake prizes for bull and cow in diiry breeds, and adding the amounts of the prizes to the dairy herd prizes; also contrib uling the sum of ?150 to each of the dairy breeds. The report was referred to the entire beard. A discussion of the Kew Orleans Expo3ltion led to some lively criticism of the Governor's action in going outside of the Board of Agriculture to find a commissioner. W. W. Seward said that it was indeed strange that the Governor should go out to the very borders of the State to eeek an agricultural representative when there is an organized Board of Agrxuiture. "If the board stands so low as not to be lit to be called upon at a tune like that, it would be better to wipe it out of existence," said he. President Mitchell taid he had taken the liberty to suggest to the Governor the name of a mem ber of the board, but it was not actel upon, lhere was mucn dissatisfaction expressed by the members, and at one time there was a disposition to appoint a cornmission to look after Indiana's agricultural interests at the exposition. General Carnahan was called, and described at length the displays of Indiana products. Indiana stone and coal are prominently displayed, and every species of grain and grass that will grow in Indiana are shown. "We have the finest display of grain that is to be seen there," said the Commissioner, and this was the quoted opinion of disinterested judges. General Carnahan asked the members of the boar to send him samples of the grain. "I display them in glass globes." he said, "and I ran assure you that the globes do not cav.se tho grains to appear shrunken." The General it ported that the &3.000 which had bet n placed at his disposal was about exh. tested. He complained of exorbitant expi fss rates couth of Nashville. The matter wi s then dropped and the threatened commission did not investigate. The nomination of candidates for member ship on the State Board resulted as follows: Fifth District, W. A. Green of Dearborn and T. W. W. öunman of Itipley; Sixth District, Dick Jones of Bartholomew and Will Cumback of Decatur; Seventh District, W. H. Knoling of Henry, J. U. Carson ot Bhelby, W. Jackson and E. 11. Peed, Henry, G. W. Wheeler, Hamilton, Nelson Bradley, Han cock; Ninth District, H. La Tourette of Fountain; Tenth District, j, .

Boges, Tippecanoe; rr j . 1 ta i a i a. vir A , r -3 Tv ruer t ft. n ot. vhir oI Hamilton and Nelson Bradley of Hancock were nominated for membership from the Seventh District. On motion the following resolution was adopted : Resolved. That In view of the great destruction oi agricultural and horticultural products in our State br injurious Insects, and recoKnlzinz the Im portance of a knowledge of their origin, habit. and the best meant oi eradicating taein, tne suie ought to I ave a State Entomologist: we therefore ask that the LeglsiaturpioTide by law for the appointment of such ofilcer, and that adequate means be placed at the disposal of the proper authority for the purpose ot defraying the necessary expenses of such o nicer. During the afternoon the following papers were read: "The Destruction or Crops by Intects," by J. J. Kingsbury; "French Agri culture and Breeding of Norman Horses,'' by J. H.
