What a blooming ignoramus it is, to ba sure. Delaware happens to be the only Southern State never under Republican rule. All the others were plundered and devastated as if by Goth and Vandal. One of the biggest brains of tbe period ceased its functions yesterday, when the great Hugo died. An outline of His lifework will be found eke where in this issue of the Sentinel. Perhaps his most powerful work wa3 "Lea Missrables," and its most vivid pages are tho3S which tell the stcry of "Waterloo It has rarely been equaled. The volume will rank among tho morf striking creations of the cantury. NATIONAL UNITY AT LAST. Ore objection the Sentinel has urged against the Republican party is that its teachings tend to de nationalize public sentiment. Its sole claim to merit has teen its war record. If it was convicted of robbing the people by its tariff, its reply was, "We saved the Union." When its Freedman'a Savings Bank stole millions from the freedmen, it justified If self by the plea, "We emancipated the slaves." When its leaders were detected in jobs by which they filched millions from Southern State treasuries and from the National Treasury, the Republican party said: "That is nothing; we crushed the rebellion.1' Its defences were all unfair, for the achievements it claimed sole credit for were largely due to a Democratic soldiery. Jf it had Grant, Sherman and Logan in the field, the Democratic party had Hancock, Slocum and Rose cr an 3. The Republican party haa maintained a long ascendency by keeping alive sectional animosity over a war ended twenty years ago. Meantime tho Democratic party has been pleading for the full fruits of the triumph or the Union armies, towit: The complete- restoration of the Union, in spirit as well as in letter. The Sentinel has claimed that the ascendency of the Democracy to power wonld secure this desired end. Our claim is proven to haye been well founded. Here, within three months after the inauguration of the Democratic administration, we are beyond the breakers of distrust and out upon the smooth sea of national trust and sectional good will for the first time in more than thirty years. For it is a fact as apparent as that the Republic still ex is cs, that tho North and South are in closer bonds of unity to day than at any time since the springing up of agitation over the Kansas bill in 1S50. With the continuation o! Democratic rule this fusion will grow in firmne3. The younger thinners and voters of this country may be relied on to countenance no party whose first and only claim to preferment is its record in a war a quarter-century past, While all will join in honoring the heroes of tbat war, we are best fulfilling the mission for which they fought when working with that party which looks to the promotion of national unity and prospsrity. ' SECRETARY MANNING. When Secretary Manning was first selected lor the Cabinet, the mud batteries ot the opposition opened upon him all along the line. He was charged with being nothing but a "political ward bummer," a 'boss" and a wire-puller." He has demonstrated to this mad-spattering gang that they know nothing about him. He will rank among the foremost of his predecessors in office. A striking indication of his wideawake Tray of looking efUr the interests of the Government ia told by tho Courier -Journal, and we Invito the cpsdal and careful attention of opposition editors to tho point xnida. Tho paper refirud to cays: 'The keenwitted statesman

w horn Mr. Cleveland has wisely installed at the head of the Treasury Department failed to make tbe usual purchase of silver bullion last week at the customary interval, and it leaked out cum officially that be hid found abundant reason for the omission. In point of fact ho had arrived at tbe conclusion tbat the silver market was cornered and manipulated by a bullion ring, and he also discovered presumptive evidence that a similar manipulation was a thing of periodical recunence a speculation based on tbe knowledge of the exact date at which guch purchases were 'regularly made, and that tie Secretaries of tbe Treasury and the Mlat officials were in the habit of practicing only a perfunctory and careless dlcharge of their public duty in such purchases Mr.. Manning took upon himself personally the details cf this last purchase, and the result is a striking proof of his sagacity. He effected on Wednesday last the purchase of COO.CO ounces of silver at a price two cents per ounce bslow tbe lowejt tender of tho combination last week, when he declined to buy. It is credibly reported that the present Superintendent cf the Mint ;s soon to be removed, acd that ex-Mayor Fox, of Philadelphia, will be appointed to that office."

THE GOVERNOR AND THE PRESIDENT. Governor Gray called upon the President and met with a warm, cordial recsption. In alluding to his visit the Governor said: "I have not a shadow of doubt as to the President's Democracy. He is all right, and intends to do right by his party friends. The Democrats should not expect him to revolutionize the Government immediately. It takes time and wisdom to make important changes and at the same time not disturb the harmony and system that characterizes the running of a Government like ours. The people should remember that things are different now from what they were in 1SG1, when the Republicans took the Govern ment from the Democrats. Then tbe great question of the war was up, and nearly all of the civil service force of the Government sympathized with tho administration in its do :Iarationo to suppress the rebellion. The result of this was that party lines in the North were not drawn, and only in raro instances were changes necessary. Then again the whole civil foic9 of the country had to be largely increased. These things should be remembered by Democrats. I feel satisfied in my own mind that within a year the entire Government will be practically in the hands of D nice rata. Mr. Cleveland will make changes in all important civil positions as toon as he can do so with safety and prudence. I had no difficulty in cleaning out the Republican officeholders in Indiana and putting Democrats in their places fcr there were very few left to clean out after the peoile got through with them at the polls in November, and I experienced no trouble in finding good men of my own party faith to take their places. But atill I have only about gotten through with the job, and the President has ia the same time turned out fifty Republicans where I had one. The time consumed is net sirht ly the act of writing a commission, but bnt it is hearing the claims of tho applicants and their friends. One-ba'f of all the President's time ia devoted to that duty." CHOLERA INOCULATION. Microbic inoculation as a preventive against cholera is attracting considerable attention, especially in Europe. Tho correspondent of the New York Herald now in Spain has already been inoculated, and he informs that paper in a recent cable dispatch from Madrid that cf 5,000 cases subjected to microbic inoculation, not a single death has occurred, while the cases cf two unfortunate hospital patients "who refused to ba inoculated and who were the ony persons who were afterward at'acked by the cholera and died," had greatly increased confidence in Dr. Fenan's work. A London cable dispatch says that the London newspapers devote much attention to Dr. Fenan's system cf microbic inoculation at Valencia for cholera. They are nearly a month behind the Herald with information on the subject. The Pall Mall Gazette, however, referring to the subject, says: "Dr. Cameron, Member of Parliament, sends some interesting figures to the Standard about the experiments with inoculation for cholera ie-4 cently made at Valencia, but, after all, statistics in mas3 generally prove nothing. What an individual wants to convince him is to see the experiment for himself. The public want to see eome one offer himself for inoculation, and this ia exactly what the correspondent of the New York Herald has been doing on his countrymen's behalf. That the proceeding really reflects credit on the enterprise of the modern prc-s may be eeen from his description ot the symptoms." Here the Pall Mall Gazette quotes from the Herald at length and concludes: "Journalists have always been the public's eyes and cars, but the Herald's correspondent is one of the first to have been the public's arms and spine." The Sentinel published an account cf tbe inoculation cf tne Herald's correspondent come two or three weeks ego. "The real test will be," as an English authority esys, "when an epidemic of tree Asiatic cholera breaks out. If then it ia found that inoculated persons either escape altogether or have tho disease very mildly, Dr. Ferran will merit the reputation which Jenner obtained in the last century.'1 Of course the Journal's Washington young man saw through the diabolical intention ot Governor Gray's visit to Washington instantly. It was to form a sort of a combination with Governor Hendricks to blow exSenator McDonald out of the water to swim out, as it were, into the great political sea, and a la Boy ton tie a torpedo to the McDonald ship. It made no sort of difference to the aforesaid young man that the Vice President was about ready to start home at the time Governor Gray arrived in Washington. He will be home to-morrow. The Governor might haye eared himself a long

and expensive trip. Washington is growing dull, perhaps, and the correspondents must beat the bush for sensation acd lies.

CURRENT OPINION. Six years rxoie of Logan! What a weary and disbeartenicg sense of time that hideous thought produces! Chicago Times. The Bureau of Agriculture does not sesrn to have been g9ltlng along very well for a year or two. It appears to have been chiefly engaged in planting appropriations and raising Cain. Phlledelphla Press. That circular if sued by Postmaster General VÜas makes Republican officeholders squirm like eels in a pot A taste of what the Dsmccrats got twenty-four years ago will do them gocd. Too steady a diet of sweetmeats is injurious. Boston Globe. We tender our compliments to Major General John A I eiauder Legan, of Illinois, on his election as Senator cf the United States for six years more. It has been a hard fight, and Logan has won it by superior generalship. If the Democrats had put up Lyman Trumbull against him they might have met with better success. New York San. Not tbat General Logan Is an ideal representative of this great State of Illinois in the higher branch of the National Asernbly. Far from it. "But he was fairly entitled to the election in the light of all the attendant circumstances, and nothing but the most disgraceful corruption could haye accomplished his defeat. Chicago News. It was in the power of the Dsmocrata to defeat Logan, but bad managemsnt, petty jealousies and general demoralization prevented a consummation devoutly wished for by the whole country. After all, Logan is a splendid representative of the Republicanism of Illinois. HaviDg endured him all these years, we presume that the country can withstand another six year3 of his forcible feebleness. New York World. Wni:k President Cleveland selected Dr. Sunderland's church at Washington at which to attend services, the comment was made that the congregation was more solidly Republican than that of sny other church in the city. But that fact does not Beem to have prevented the congregation from becoming so shocked and Indignant because Fred Dougiesj, a colored man, occupied one of the pews last Sunday that he felt compelled to write a card to the newspapers, explaining tbat he had not rented a pew in the church, and defending his right to worship Gcd where he pleases. Courier-Journal. As between him and his immediate rival, it is safe to say that even in the minds of his own party Mr. Legan is not the equal of Mr. Morrison. Mr. L6gan represents very little except a sturdy Republican partisanship and a clcsely organized political machine. In personal character he Is above the rather low average of favorite politicians. He is hardly the ideal Senator, The struggle has been a purely partisan one. Considering some cf the features cf Mr. Morrison's canvass it is clear that the interests of the country will be better subserved by Mr, Logan as a Republican than they would have been by Mr.Morrison as a Democrat. The point of most significance in the affair ;s that the Senate has beccme a bedy to which men are chosen by such a partisan struggle and has almost ceased to be one in which men are chesen for distinguished character and ability. The first condition to the elevation of the Ssnate will ba the radical reform of the civil service and tho absolute withdrawal of the great body of offices from political control. New York Times. The Commercial Gazette says: The summer has come. Do not keep little children penned up in doors, fearing fresh air will giro tbem colds or the sunshine spoil their comcomplexions. Turn the rascals ont. The Philadelphia North American says: It is the sinners who find the least satisfaction in the revised version. The Boston Post says: A Chelsea bachelor says that the RirafTe is a great improvement over woman, as that auiaal has never been known to utter a sound. A Mnry Anderson' Farewell to London, I London Post. A scene of unwonted enthusiasm, generous outbursts of public feeling, calling forth the warmest response, marked the farewell performance of Miss Mary Anderson in London. There was no element of novelty in the programme, but Mr. W. 8 Gllbsrt's "Pygmaion and Galatea" and "Conudy and Trag edv" afforded the charming American actress an opportunity of repeating twa performances which have won the greatest fa vor here. Out of the half dozsn parts in which Miss Anderson has been Eeen, dilate a and Clarice, exhibiting such opposite phases of tenderness and sudden passion, wiJl probably leave the most distinct impression. Both impersonations were on Saturday night distinguished by a nervons energy that seemed to touch a sympathetic chord, and the cordiality of the applaui e at the conclusion of the mythological comedy was redoubted after the final fall of the curtain on Clar.'ce'a tragic efforts. Again and again Miss Anderson appeared, the cheers becoming louder and more general until at length she stepped forward toward the centre of the stage. Lyceum audiences are notable for their appreciation ot a little speech, and Miss Anderson's intention was no sooner understood than there came an instantaneous hush. In earnest and touching tones she said that the last night, so long dreaded, had at length arrived, and she must part ith those who had been so kind to her. The delight shs naturally felt at the prospect of returning to her native country was miied with a great regret at having to leave her London audiences. She little thought, when she came as a stranger to make her first appearance before them, tremblingly wondering what would be their verdict on her poor efforts, how soon she would win friends among them. Nor did she dream of the pain it wculd be to say ' Good by." The simple words, "You have been very, very gcod to me, and I have tried hard to deserve it; please do not quite forget me," called forth a burst of applause, which was renewed after tbe next appeal, "I hope I am not saying gocd-by for ever. I want to come back to you again. Dare I hope you will be a little glad to see me? ' The closing sentence. "I know I shill be glad to see yon; until I do, good-by," was delivered with deep emotion; and then, with lingering steps and tearful eyes, Mia Anderson retired. Before

tbe audience dispersed further calls were raised for Mr. Terriss, Mr. Abbey, and Mr. Abod, end these gentlemen having bowed their acknowledgments, the house rung with English "Hurrahs'' as a parting tribute to our fair asd accomplished visitor, who thus bears away with her the recollection cf an exceptionally cordial and ardent leave-tak-iDg.

lie Tell the Troth. IN'ew York Sun. Ore preat cause of tbe failure of General Garfield's administration was that he did not keep bis promises. If he had kept the pledges which the Stalwarts got from him before they went to work for him, and throu2ü which alone his election was rendered pcssible, the Republican party wculd not have been split up. Garfield was good humored to weakness, vacllliatlng, utterly untrustworthy. He made promises that he could not keep, and so he made enemies that did cot even hate him; they despised him. And jet, perhaps, he did not usually mean t be a liar. He simply had no force of character. He would promise office to one man and give it to another; promise to follow cne line of policy and take exactly the Teverse. Garfield's predecessor had not the courage nor would his managers allow him to repudiate any of tbe promises he had made for the benefit of the gang of rascals who stole him into office. To decant men his word was a good deal brittler. He would promise one thing and do another. It was this habit of his, along with his fraudulent origin, that made so many prominent Republican politicians despise him. If authentic history is not at fault, Hon. Hannibal Hamlin at a very early period in the Hajes administration remarked tbat Hayes was "a damned liar." and Mr. Hamlin knew what he was talking about. Mr. Cleveland, on the other, band, seems destitute of any disposition to make prouiisfs without being certain tbat he can fulfil them. He is slow to make up his mind about the offices and everything else, but, as far 83 we have observed, when it is made up it is made up. He doesn't weakly try to plesss several people by promising all of them what only one can pessibly get. He sticks to tbe truth as he saes it, and thi3 is a very much rarer and even more difficult virtue for men in high political place than it ought to bs. Let the President have full credit for this: He tells the truth! Mrs. VnndeTbllt'a Diamonds. INew Yoik Herald, j Three years ago Reilly was employed as a driver for a florist's establishment up town. One day he saw a junkman driving through Fortieth street with an old trunk bouncing cn the top of his wagon. Reilly wanted a trunk ar d he asked the junkman how much he wculd tako for this one. "Twenty-five cents," said the junkman. "I'll give you fifteen," said Reilly. "Done," said the junkman, "take the trunk." Reilly carted the trunk to the shop where he was employed, where it lay for some days before be emptied out the waste paper with which it seemed to be partly filled. When he did so he found a beautiful diamond earring, flashing amid the rubbish. Then he mado a more careful search and found a diamond riDg. Tho two were worth $300. There seemed to be nothing about the trunk to show to whom it belonged. It was all pasted over with express companies' labels and was evidently an old traveler. When Reilly washed off some of these tags he uncovered the letters 'W. H. V." painted on the side cf the trunk. He went to Mr. "William H. Vanderbili's house and learned that the diamonds had beenlo3t by Mrs.' Vanderbilt upon returnlne from Saratoga. and tbat the circumstantHl evideace of theft had pointed so strongly to a servant that she had been dismissed. Reilly was hardeomelv rewarded by Mr. Yauderbilt. 8nd was afterward employed as a driver on the Fourth avenue cars, where he remained until a 5 ear azo. SEX IIS EL SPECIALS. A Conscience Stricken Lady. Special to the Sentinel. Marion, Ind., May 22. A very singular case cf remorse cf conscience for wrongdoing occurred here to-day. A very well dressed lady, of respectable parentage, came into the dry roods store of Goldthaite & Sons, and taid to Mr. Goldthaite, one of the proprietors, she was owing him a small bill of eighty cents. He went to his book, and could not find her charged with any amount. She remarked he would not likely find it on the book, for she had stolen four yards of ribbon off the counter, four year3 ago, end marked ten cents per yard, and that she was so conscience stricken that she could no longer keep the crime a secret and must be permitted to pay for the ribbon, and that sho had read in her Bible that she must pay two fold for goods stolen before she could be pardoned. Mr. Goldthaite declined at first to receive that amount, or any amount, and said he was willing to accept hsr confession for the pay, but she insisted on paying, and Mr. Goldthaite accepted the eighty cents. She then remarked that she felt mach better. Many more should go and do likewise, and then they would oleep better. Grand Sham Battle. Special to the Sentinel. Geeencastle, Ind., May 22. The annual military commencement of DePauw University closing with a shaai battle between the csdet corps representing the Union forces, and the Grand Army bovs and other old soldiers the Rebel force?, took place to day. The day was all that could have been desired fcr such an occasion. About 6 000 persons witnessed the battle. The ground selected for the battle was north of the Observatory, on the Durham farm, running one mile north. The cadets wore commandad by General James B. Yoe, United States Army, and tbe Rebel forces by Major John G. Dunbar. Majors. R. Fletcher, Major Ross and tbe Adjutant General were present as spectators. Captain Charles Wegener and Private James Vanlandiagham were severely burnt in the face with powder. No other casualties. A shocking Death Special to tbe Sentinel. Wabash, Ind., May 22. To-night William Fry, a farmer, residing two miles from Claypool, on the Cincinnati, Wabash and Michigan Railroad,ttempted to walk a trestle in tbe face of an approaching passenger traia. When half way o?er he was struck by the lecomotive, and being draxrn beneath the wheels was so mangled that he died in an hour. Both legs were cutoff and his head was horribly crushed. No blame attaches to the engineer. A Bloomlngton Student Drowned. Special to the Sentinel. Bloomikgton, Ind., May 22 College circles were thrown into great excitement this afternoon by the announcement ot the drowning of E. A. Hall, a member of the sophomore class. Some twenty or thirty of the botany class went on a jaunt yesterday to Salt Creek, and this afternoon Hall and two others separated from the rest for the purpose of bathing, none of the tare knowing how to l Wim Hall got over his depth,

and his comrades being unable to assist him he was drowned. His body has not yet been recovered, and a party cf students is now organizing to go to the" assistance of the party searching for it Hall is from Kentiand, Newton County, Indiana.

The Address of tbe Democratic Members of the I-eglelatare. Ai.isaky, N. Y., May 22 The Democratic members of the Legislature have issued an address to the people in which they say: The Democracy is the majority party of New York. M&l-aistricting or counties has mide it impossible lor the party to control the Legislature without a popular verdict of the magnitude of a revolution at the polls. The minority in the Legislature represeiing more than a minority of the people, owes it to itself and to the people to render an account of its stewardship and to relate tbe flagrant disregard cf right and the constitution practised by Its opponents with whom is the repo3sibiiity lor the action of the Senate and Assembly. The takinc of such an enumeration at periods of ten years Is prescribed by the Constitution. The act and tbe time of the requirement are aosolutely commanded. Enumeration is the basis of the sacred, vital and inalienable right of representation. It is prescribed each ten years so as to enable the representation to be intelligently and justly based on fact?. The Democratic Executive, tasing the tarne obligation, has been unremitting In his endeavor to hare the Legislature respsci and effect tbe duty imposed in the Constitution. The Democratic members ol the Legislature have unanimously sought tbe same object. That object has been defeated by the action of the Republicans of the Legislature. The Presbyterian Assembly. Cincinnati May 22 At the morning ses sion of the Presbyterian Assembly the standing committees were announced. R6V. H. E. Niles, of New York, presented a report on miaisterial support, which was laid over for discussion. Dr. Butler, of Brooklyn, Chairman of the Special Committee appointed by the late General Assembly to report upon the work of tho Baard of Publication, made a very exhaustive report. So far as the criticisms upon the management of the board, which gave rise ta the appointment of tbe committee, were coDcerodd. the report exonerated the board f ullv. It found its business affairs properly conducted. But the committee, while connecting the business department, inoludiDg the publication of periodicals, had not bad opportunity to examine the missionary department. This report gave rise to discussion, and the feeling developed was that, as there was some conflict between the business and the missionary departments, it would be unfair to adopt the report commending one, and to that extent forestalling judgment on tbe other. Hence the report was recommitted. A resolution to open another book depcstlorv in New York, in a more convenient locality than ths pres sent one, was referred to the committee. B shop Waiden, of the Methodist EpiscoDtl Choren, was invited to a s:at with the mcderator. The Cincinnati Fire. Cincinnati, May 22. Late last night the boy who could give an authentio account of the origin of the Sullivan fire ysterday on Sixth street, was found by the Coroner's clerk at his home in the extreme eastern portion of the city. Tue boy, whose name is John Meyers, it appears ran from the building at the very beginning of the fire, and went to a drug store, where his wounds were

dressed, acd he then went home. He tan be was sent down to the first floor vesteriay afternoon to get a two-gallon can of bsnzlne. He pot it from Orth Wissel, who keep a dye hocse on the first floor. Going up to the second floor be was passing along a narrow past age beside the presses in the direction of the elevator shaft, when in the dark he stumbled, streck the can against a pren aui broke the glass. The benzine flowed oil, and as tbe presrman bad agds light barniaz there tb light gas almost instantly exploded. Meyers' feet, saturated with benzine.

tcck re, and he ran toward the stairway, 9 where he extinguished the fire on his person ' and ran down to the drus: store as before stated. The Coroner will begin the inquest to-morrow. Miss Nannie Shepherd, who jumped from the third story of Sullivan printing establishment and was caught on a tarrautin and wa thought not to be fatally injured, died to-day. Miss Emma Pinchba;k, who was saved by the rope, had her hands so horribly burned that it is thought she must lose her right fore arm. The other injured are doing well. General Grant's Condition. New York, May 22. There was 83me undue irritation in General Giant's threat last night, attended by frequent attempts to clear tho surface of muccs. These efforts farther irritated the parts and the General bsing apprehensive of a wakeful nleht, suggested tbat Dr. Douglas remain through the night, which he did. When the Doctor left this morning he said the General's apprehensions proved groundless, for he slept at 11:30 last night and continued to sleep at intervals until S:S0 this forenoon. At that time he awoke with little if any pain. The Doctor thought the cast winl and raw, chilly weather affected the General unfavorably. Disappearance of a Pilot. Evansvillz, May 22. Pilot Brown, of the steamer Fulton, disappeared from that boat on Wednesday night, whilo she was aground at Three Miles, and is supposed to have fal- ' len into the river and drowned. He was a single man and lived at Louisville. Every exertion is being made to ascertain hi fat, but up to dark nothing had been ascertained of him. Another Ulan Jumps OfT the llrooklyn Itrldge. Nev York, May 22. It was rumored tonight that Frank Livingston, an acrobat employed at Harry Hill's Theater, had jumped from the Bro klyn bridge. In imitation of Professor Odium, and like Odium, was killed. PERSONAL lEMlOX. JudC D. D.
