Tnz Sunday Sentinel leads everything in the line. Maklgx Rogers, cf Greencistle, dropped dead yeaierday. Monopolies came with the Republican party. Let them go with it. Tnz four Senators from south Carolina and Arkansas hare only five legs under them. Look out for a big Bunday Sentinel to morrow. It ia the be3t paper published In the West. Another Republican overboird! Daniel Overman yesterday secured the Marion, Indiana, pest-office. Cuaelis Reade's great story, "Love or Uoney," will be continued in to morrow' Sentinel. It began last Sunday. Moxoiolies never found a lodgment in this country until Republicanism created and protected them by legislation. ili:. Hensy George has inadaamost pleas ant impression upon the rxaoy citizens here who haye heard his lectures and met him in person. Miss Sweet's income, as computed by a correspondent elsewhere in these columns, for the eleven years that she has held the offlce foots up the startling total of $333,000! The people demand tbas the Legislature so 'modify" the eDjojment of the telephone monopoly as to meet the exigencies cf the business public. Give us a reduction lot rates. The senior morning and the senior even ing organs are quarreling again. One day they hug and spoon and the next fight like cats. We sit smiling on the fence hoping both will Ilea:. Coloxel Jons S. Williams, of Lafayette, ayatbf.the will receive his appointment next Tuesday. It is understood that he will succetd Mr. Alexander, of this city, as fifth Auditor of the Treasury. If the Central Union Telephone Company is not a ccg wheel in the machinery of the American Bell Company, why are the at torneys of the latter company here from Boston seeking to defeat the Williams Telephone bill? Wheek was Representative Copeland when that distingushed rebel Republican guerrilla General, Moseby, ''unconverted and unhung," went on a foreign mission, with credentials in his pocket from a Republican administration? Whese was that, representative of the "loil" sentiment of Indiana, Mr. Copeland, when that distinguished Rebel, General Key, 'unconverted and unhung," took his seat in the fraudulent Republican Cabinet of R. B. Hayes? Mr. Copeland, "read up." Grateful wo are that we are not compromised by belonging to the Republican party. The utter devoidance of pride of the Republicans, in whining for retention of employes of their ilk under a Democratic administration, is simply donating. Why Digger Indians would have more eel f respect A 9CB5CRIBEB in Vermillion County to the Sentinel says in renewing his subscription: 'I am old now and I served in the late war. I like the sentiments of the Sentinel and propose to stand by you as long as the pipsr strikes for the right of the American citizen." Colosel William E. McLekn, of Teire Haute, was yetetdy appolntei First Deputy Commissioner cf Tensions. lie wis a Union toldier, and succeeded a Republican who was not In ths army, as far as we know. We shall bDfc for prjmpt confircia tion by the organs of the Grand American Order cf the Bloody Shirt. Snail it ba taken by consent, gentlemen? or will you want time to "pel Ij fox" a little? Rikkriuno to the fraud yelp of the Republican press, the Chicago Times paralyzoslt as follows: "It is an old trick of the pickpocket to yell 'stop, thief!' The Republicans here seem to appreciate the usefulness of that method of diverting public attention from their own frauds. Ii half a dozen wire's where they have the control they kept their vote in the spring election nearly up to the f cures cf last November, though there was only SO per cent, of the whole November vote cast. In one precinct where

they return about 200 more votes than their proper proportion in the ward, the ballotbox has mysteriously disappeared. The Democratic vote in the city fell on" about 10,000, while fine work or something of the kind made the Republican loss only half that. Yet all the time the Republican organs yell 'fraud!' and ask the public to believe that the cheating has been the work of Democrats. It is time now to hunt down the real criminals the fellows who are trying to escape in the crowd by shouting 'stop, thief!' " THE TELEPHONE MONOPOLY AND THE LAW. The Williams Telephone bill was taken up in the Senate yesterday, end adjournment left the discussion of it unfinished. Senator Fculke, Republican, delivered an argument, which Las been days under preparation, against the constitutionality of the mewure. So thorough a lawyer ia Mr. Foalke. and so conversant with the pleadings and authorities on which corporations rely to impose upon the public, that he was Justly relied on by the monopolist opponents cf the Williams bill to say every word that might be strained, to unhold their side. His discourse was a coldblooded presentation of the legal pretensions of soulless corporations, always against the people. We submit that in this matter and in any question between monopolies and the people, wherein the constitutionality or .unconstitutionality of it is the issue, the people should be given the benefit of the legislation, for the monopolies have then the Supreme Court of the State and Nation to fall back upon to decide upon the issne. The Legislature is not tho body to pass upon questions ef constitutionality, nor is Mr. Senator Foulke, in his capacity of legislator, a jurist whose opinions are to bo taken for judicial decisions. It the telephone monopolists and their champions in the Senate are so thoroughly satisfied that the Williams bill is unconstitutional, why make such strenuous eiForts to defeat it? Why not allow its passage, and then promply remit the question of its constitutionality to the courts? Why are lawyers and lobbyists from the four points of the compass employed to work: against the bill, and capitalists cf the American Bell Telephone and Western Union Telegraph Companies flocked here to use money to secure its dsfeat? This wordy opposition to the bill by Senator Foulke and those on his side is costing the State thousands of dollars. It would have cost the monopolists far lets than they are paying out to have permitted the bill to pass bnd then to have secured the decision of the Court against its constitutionality, If unconstitutional it be. But the monopolists know they dare not submit to that test. The v kr 077 that in a long line cf cases the Sapreme Court of this State lays down the rule that "it ruust appear very clearly that the legislation is repugnant to or in conflict with some expres? provision of the Constitution or the statute will be upheld. "It is not enough that the constitutionality of tho legislation may seem doubtful; for in such case the benefit of the doubt must be given in favor of the constitutionality of the statute." In other words, if there is in a question between a grasping monopoly and the people a seeming doubt, the people must in the hair-splitting have the benefit cf tho doubt The case of Patterson ys. Kentucky, 7; U. S. Reports, page f01, fully and clearly disposes of the pretended opposition to the Williams Telephone bill. It was claimed yesterday by the special pleader for the monopoly that the State had no power to regulate the property or business of a corporation in using an article protected by letters patent frcm the United States, beyond a mere police regulation. But fortunately for the people the Supreme Court has ecttled the question the other way in the case above referred to. Chief Justice Harlan says: 'The right of property in the physical substance, which is the fruit of tho discovery, is altogether distinct from the right in the discovery itself. . Its employment may ba secured and protected by National authority against all interference; but the use of the tangible property which comes into existence by the application of the discovery is not beyond the control of State legislation, simply because the patentee acquires a monopoly in his dis:overy. . There remains in him, as in every other citizen, the power to manage his property, or give direction to his laben, at his pleasure, subject enly to the paramount claims of so ciety, which requires that his enjoyment may be modified by the exigencies of the community to which he belongs, and regulated by laws which render It subservient to the general public, if held subject to State control." We quote only e part of the decision. Senators should, however, read the case in full. The State has the clear and well defined right to regulate hack?, street cars, railroads, telegraph and telephone companies, and all corporations and companies that hold themselves out to tbe public as common carriers of freighter passengers for hire, or for the transmission for pay of news or information. Tbe use of a patent vehicle or appliance in no vray charges or abrogates this rule, Senator Fonlke cm hardly lead anybody to believe that a corporation ism organlzs under the laws cf this State, and proceed to use and cccupy streets, highways and pub! c and private property, and yet remain exempt from taxation and be above and beyond legislative regulation or control. How is it thus? The Chicago ballot-box was stolen in a Republican warJ. The ward gave a heavy majority for the Republican cindidate the record of the vote was made and he receive the full benefit of whatever majority was recorded, whether the box ia found or not. There is some other reason for the theft, then, other than putting the pickets out of the way. As the vote shows

a heavy Republican majority, psrbaps it was obtained by bogus and illegal affidavits, and it is to the interest of these Republican swindlers to destroy all evidence against them. There is a tradition of this same sort that hovers around the box that was stolen in Indianapolis from the Twelfth Ward two or three years ago. The box held a large Republican majority which was recorded and credited properly, notwithstanding the theft of the tickets, but it was suspected at tho time that certain papers in the box could tell a very damaging story if allowed to. Therefore they were stolen and destroyed.

THE AMERICAN BELL AND THE SUBTELEPHONE COMPANIES. Superintendent Hocket cards the dear people through the columns of the Journal, with the intention of trying to contradict our editorial of the G:h inst He says that the Western Union Telegraph Company dees not own a cent in the Central Union Telephone Company, and that there is absolutely no relationship between them, and, further, that the Telegraph Company does not receive a percentage from the Telephone Company. He forgets to Inform the public that the Western Union Telegraph Company gets a large per cent, from the American Ball Telephone Company. Mr. Hocket acknowledges that the Bell Company own percent, of tbe Central Union. He dees not inform the pub'.ic that the Western Union Telegraph Company own 7." per cent of the American Bell Telephone Company. The latter owning ."" per cent, cf the Central Union ! lendtiB the Western Union Telegraph Company a stockholder to the amount of 2f per cent. We scknowledge that the Central Union does not pay a cent to the Western Union, but pay Zö per cent, to the American Bell, of which 75 per cent, is then given to the Western Union. No contracts exist between the Western Union Telegraph Company and the Central Union Telephone Company; they are agreements involving the Bell Telephone Company, and the Bell Company have contracts with the Central Union which renders them subordinate and holds them to a strict account for violation of contracts between the Bell Company and the Western Union Telegraph Ccmpany. He states that the Central Union Telephone Company nevr refused to grant an instrument to a competing telegraph company. We are aware of this. The Central Union did not, but the American Bell Telephone Company did. The latter have a contract with the former prohibiting them from allowing telephones to be established I'm opposition telegraph odices, where they would operate detrimental to tne Western Union, except by order of a court. Mr. Hoctett acknowledges this, but etates that the objecting party .ia the patentee. This is true to a certain extent, as the patentee and tha American Bell Telephone Company are one, except the interest owned by the Western Union Telegraph Company. The royalty paid by tbe Central Union Telephone Company, is s'mrly a transfer of money from one pecket to another in the same piece of goods. This explains the situation under a stronger focus than the Central Un'on Telephone officials dared to use, and shows the complicated manner in which the various telephone companies are related to each other; and, also, their alliance with the Western Unicn Telegraph Company. This tangled up system of incorporating is adopted to defeat legislation against them, and to obtain certain privileges not otherwise available, one principle objestjbeing to deceive the public and solicit sympathy. It was upon this technical featurs of organisation that rendered a decision in their favor by the Senate Judiciary Committee on last Wednesday. THE CHICAGO PENSION AGENT. Tne name cf Miss Ada Sweet is dulcet, but it appears her temper is not so. She is the Pension Agent at Chicago. An occupancy of the oflice for eleven years has paid her in salary and perquisites not less than $100,000. A correspondent informs ns that the sum for eleven years runs to S33S.000. Surely such an income for eo long a time should have sweetened Miss Sweet into most perfect amiability. But not so. Upon a polite request from General Black, Commissioner of Pensions, that she send in her resignation, Misi Sweet wrote to that ofScer a vinegary, peppery, insulting letter. On tha same day she penned a whining letter to the President, abounding in self-praise and appealing to him to be permitted to remain in her office. General Black's well-known advocacy of civil service reform is of itssif evidence that he did not call for Mis3 Sweet's resignation without having adequate reason therefor. It is admitted that Mis Sweet has conducted her efiice efficiently. No charge of any dishonesty ia made aatnst her. Bat it is notoriously known in Chicago that she has permitted her oflice to be used by the leading Republican politicians of Illinois as a political machine. It is understood that Miss Sweet, in retnrn for the powerful influencs that has kept her in p'ace, has yielded to them the control of the patronage of her place. These facts bring Miss Sweet as fully under the non-partisan requhements cf the civil service law as if she had been herself a stump orator evtry day of the campaign. If ehe has not psrson ally pet at deliince that law, she has permitted others to do so. Bat, claim tbe virtuously indignant and newly converted civil service organs the Republican paters Mis3 8weet Is the daughter of a Union Veteran. Well, the person General B'ack wishes to substitute in her p?ace is ihe widow of the gallant Colonel Mull'gan, whoss famors reply to a Confederate demand that he surrender the post of Lexington, Mo , will long be remembered. Now we can see r.o good reason why the spinster daughter of a veteran, who has already drawn $100.000 from the Chicago Tension Office, should not be made to give tha widow of the lamented Union Colonel a

chance. Yerily Miss 8weet is selfish. We trust the adralnistation will do the right thing, which is to give her place to another not quite as ill tempered. MIS3 SWEET'S INCOME. If the following from a correspondent is correct, the income of Miss Sweet, the Chicago Pension Agenthas been something enormous. The I correspondent addre33ing the Sentinel, says: According to your editorial you are sjreitly mis Informed as to the salary and fees of illss Ada C. bweet, the Tension Acent at Chicago. Yon state It at H.0C0 per annum for eieren years mfixicgltJU.Ov'J. There are about C0.C03 pensioners on tbe rolls at Chicago, each of whom are paid four times a year, making UO.GoQ individual payments. For escl Individual payment she received twenty-nTe cent3 for eizht years of the time besiies her regular salary ol Sl.uQO per year, and for about three years at tne rate of iifieen cests and her 51.000 i alary, fo you will see that for the tirst eight years she pot for paying SO.CüU penslonersa-i fee) Jt3.UO and salary $:2,C03 making s21,CJQ for the first eight year?. Add to this what ? he ha received at tee rate of iilteen cents for each individual payment yon wil Fee that the fees are SlS.000 per year and thefalary SI, COO, making per year or St-C.CCO for the three past years mäkln; a grand total received by Mise Sweet for the eleven years In fees and palary of J33S.OC0. Qnite "A (C) Sweet" plum. i5e Idea tho foreoins Bhe is allowed fo Liuch for clerk hire and expenses. So you will tee that the above is clear money to her except what (he may bave had to pay to the corruption fana of the Republican party. Retresestative Copeland reared np yesterday and kicked the harness to pieces and the desh-boerd clear out cf sight Here is the resolution that he offered, with the exception of a change of names that we have taken tha liberty to make: Ee it resolved by the Ifou-a of Kenresentattve, tbe Senate concurring, that we, the represent 1tlves of the loyal people of tue tstate of Indiana, hinrerely deprecate the position t!ie ad mi nutrition of K.

General Longstreet was relieved of his disdisabilities and so was General Lawton. The latter was pardoned by President Johnson, and the Attorney General of the United States has decided that the action of President Johnson was legal and proper, and that he stands to day f ally as "loyal" ai Longstreet rehabilitated with all the rights of a citizen. Mr. Copeland, when ho gets np another pyrotechnic display, should have hi3 ammunition in better condition it was a bad fizzle yesterday. Why dosen't Mr Cleveland nominate a Union foldier or two to foreign, missions.' Thus far all the ex-soldiers selected lor such positions are exrebels. Does honoraole servica in the Union armies disqualify a man from representing the Kation abroad T 1'ittaburj Commercial Gazttte.

How many Union soldiers are to be found among the following appointees cf tas last Republican administration? England, Mr. Lowell; France, Mr. -Morton; Germany, Mr. Kasson; Russia, Alfonso Taft; Japan, Mr. Bingham; China, Mr. Young; Brazil, Mr. Osborn; I Lily. Mr. Astor; The Netherlands, Mr. Dayton. Thero ia not a soldier among them. In short, there were v&ry few Union soldiers who received foreign appointments under Mr. Garfield or Mr. Arthur. The Telephone lUil. I Communicated. 1 Seeing tbat your columns are extensively used for discussing the "Williams Telephone'' bill regulating rentals and tolls in the telephone service, please permit me a small space for a few practical remarks on tbe subject As to the Evansville Exchange, which is carried cn under the same rule governing other exchanges throughout tha State, it is managed "with too little regard for the wishe3 of its subscribers. Some two years ago an order was irsucd, emenating from tha President of the company at Chicago, instructing the local manager here to demand thres months rental in advance, and to remove all telephones from aub3Cribera opposing this demand. Tue subscribers louuly objected to thia sadden demand?. Many could not spare iheir telephones upon such short not'ee, and would snllermuch inconvenience by tbe removal of the irstruments. Under these circumstances n; any acceded to the demands ot the intimidating telephone company, however. Folly ."U per cent cf the instrumenta were withdrawn and yetjthe telephone company thrived, end were no more humiliating than btfore. They are discourteous to their customers, compelling them to surrender telephones without giving rea30as, and threat ening the removal of instruments if their unreasonable terms are not strictly complied with. It is on this account that the subscription list of the telephone company is less than half what it should be. It is theirown fault if their income on the tolls prescribed in the Williams bill is insufficient If they would serve the public with a reasonable degree of decency they would be substantially snpported. The reason why sudden action is taken when unreasonable measures are resorted to, IS for the purpose of cramping tbe victim when unprepared for the emergency, as was the cae when the 'pulling1' affray took place, in order that eubmisjion might be cbtained. From all I can learn, other telephone exchanges throughout the entire svetem are managed very similar to this, under these circumstances. It is a great wonder they obtain snßioient pitronsse to continue business. Oar legielatrs should support the Williams bill with a courage that can not meet with defeat Oar cit:.TD9 are jubilant over the possibility c! it becoming a law. Should it fail, a very glooruy countenance will character!:, the ciiizeusRt Evansville and surrounding towns, all cf whom join me in good wishes to the Sentinel for the bold stand it has taken in tb n atter. Tel-imion - Sl-kscribkr, Eracsville, Ind., April 'J. Attempted Jail. Delivery. Another attempt was made Isji night by a nu-xber of tue prisoners at tbe jail to escape. The same p!an which has teen 33 successfully worked heretofore, that of sawing off the bars in the too of the building, was adopted. The jailer learned ot the plan in time to prevent a loss of prisoners. There weie eighteen in tbe hull when th attempt was iLade.

Nkw Castle, Ind., April 10.- The Conference met at 8:.';0 a. m. and engaged in a seaeon ef song and prayer. At the clo?e of the devotional exercises the Bishop said that God not only raised up a great organizer in the person of John Wesley, but that He sent out a valuable helper in the person of Charles Wesley, the singer. Preached truth and the truth sung have gone hand in hind in the march cf Methodism. He slid this lessen ought to teach pastors to develop the Einging powers of the church. Chaplaim McCabe addressed the conference in his unique and captivating manner. He related how he once went into a town, stepped cn the street and commenced singin?. A woman stopped near him. He handed her a book, said "page 52," and sang on. A man stopped. He handed hiuia bcok, said "paqe ö2," and sang on. The man joined. A crowd collected.

Vau Slyke were granted superannuated relations. At the close of the call of tne Goshen District tho Bishop addreaed the conference. He said he felt that God had wrought wondir3 by and through Methodism in leadiüg souls to Christ, and wove the thought into a reference to the completion of Mr. Mendenhall'a term as Elder of the Gcshen District concluding by presenting to the Elder, on behalf cf h'.s friecd3 in the district, a handsome callgraph. Mr. Mendenhall was taken by surprise, and at tirst could tcarcely command laDgnage to acknowledge his pleasure at being so handsomely remembered, and that, too, by tbe gift of an implement he had really wished he mieht ba able to owa. He stated that his experience in the Goshen District was all on the bright side. His relations with pastors and laity had been uniformly pleasant, hnd he should ever remember with thankfalness and feeling? of his service with them. The Bishop referred to the organization of the Church Extension Society and the great work it had done, and introduced Dr. Spencer, cf Rock River Conference, the representative of the society. Dr. Spencer made known the preient condition of the society, showing that there are rl applications on file for aid and no money to send. He begged the ministers to consider the necessity for helping in this cause. In connection with Dr. 8p9ncer's work, the Bishop referred to a letter he had received while here from a minister in Teanecsee, who stated that he and his family were liviügon 1Ö0 a year, everything ehe being turned into a fund for a church edifice.
