THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL. TUESDAY,. JUNE 2, - 187V

TUESDAY, JUNE 2.

Indiana independents uiusb bear iu uiiutl that the tenth of June has been selected bj the Illinois farmers and independent for the assemblage of the hoste in that state. 'When von come together by thouaads here re member that over the border there ft. .another body watching and waitinp to beed and to nelp in the work oi reformation. To those iu cities and towns who cannot see the fist u prising o! this movement would b? a revelation and probably it wiL not be until the lines are drawn and - the t attle eet that its full extent is seen. It is especially stated uy the 'officers that everybody interested in the manufacture and hsndline o batter in the United State is invited to the butter convention, June 17 in this city. There is an organization undei whose auspices the convention is held." 'The name of it is too long to put ia writing oftener than semi-annually. It, may be well to Rive it once more as a mark of respevt. The name is the "Association o Manufacturers and Dealeis in Factory and Creamery Bntter." Let that suffice for writing the name. The society itself probably less formidable. There are twe motives which should lead the farmers o: this täte and their good wiyes to attend th proposed meeting. The first is to cbtait useful hints on the practical work of buttei making, and the seond is that a new interest may be created in this branch of industn and profit. Indiana is disposed to be a litlli slow in striking out into new paths, and sb will bear some spurring up. It is her goot fortnne that her possession of the best rail road renter in tho country brings tin mating to the state. Now wouldn't it Im lnortiiying after the convention comes ben to see It ignored or neglected by our owi folks? The people should be remin Je. 01 this bv the press, that they may be duh advised and not forget the meeting. One of the best journalists of Iudiana whose paper is a credit to its locality, write in a friendly private note of the Jim 1( convention. We shall certainly snd a delegation from here rerertable not alone in n ambers, but in mora strength and political influence al4 l'eriull roe to cocsrratnlate you and the Sentinel upon the success already assured of the movement you have so-ably championed.- If the conven tion hall make a free trade and hard or honest money platform it will sweep the state. Xolhtag ca n prevail against it. If the Sentinel's advice weighs with the people who meet here on the loth of June sound currency aDd free tiade shall be ex plicitly stipulated in the platform. There has been a good deal of misunderstand ing among the farmers as to tlx actnai eneet ot expansiou. but thereto of the president, and the sober maturer thought ot the business community hav wroujrnt a most wnoiesotne revolution in 11 . . me sentiment oi toe country as well as the eitle. The farmers are not given to the heresies of finance implied in the incoherent teaching of the inflation school, and it is hardly possible to rush any thing like a doubtful resolution through them which would tend to impair the public vredit. The Sentinel has an abiding hope it the sound action of the convention, and that hope shall inspire it to the energeticsupport of the reformers, until they shall prove by unwise measures, or uncertain speech, unfit to be trusted. The controller or the curreucy has lately ent to the house a comprehensive report in replv to the resolution of Mr. Merriaui. It appears irom tms report mat the currency circulation has been distributed among 671 banks in thirty different states, f 16,000, 000 of which have been distributed among banks organized prior to July, 170, and f &J.000.000 to banks organized since that time. The number of applicants for the organization of national banks is sixtyeven, representing a capital ot about $40.000.000 of these 175, representing $12.000ihh capital were granted but the applicants never completed their organizations. The controller also incloses a list of the banks in the states of New York, Massachuse.Vr, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont and Maryland, from which the ?i,000.000 will hy withdrawn under the operation of section six of the act of July 12, 1S70. The controller states that within the year following the passage of the act an amount of circulation bad been assigned to Ohio, Indiana, Kansas and other states, which bad ao far exhausted the apportionment that it became bis duty to decline many applications from these states aad to give a preference to other states which had a deficiency as the laws and the act both required : Of the $54,4h,000 authorized by the actof July, 1, 1870, 1 24 ,73,000 had been Issued on Nov. 4, 1871, 1.20,210 during the year ending Nov. 1, 1ST?, f7,3.r7,479 a tbe year ending Nov. 4, 173, leaving at that date $5,649,051 unissued, and the controller gives it aa his opinion that the whole of the remaining circulation would have been issued during the year except for the monetary crisis of 1873. All the commercial papers of New York are sounding the note of warning that the city is about to lose her commerce, or a large part of it. The cost and difficulty ot exporting produce and importing merchandise through New York have suggested as the surest measure of reform not to go there at all. Chicago is moving with accustomed spirit and energy, to export the grain directly irom her warehouses to Europe. It is held thai sea going vessels ot light draught can be loaded with grain and taken out to sea through the Weiland canal and the St. Lawrence river and the tbiug is no sooner said than done. The vessels thus far loaded carry about 25,000 bushels of grain, and it is believed they can make a profitable lusips in tlds mode of transportation. The -New Yorkers are waking up to the necessity of improving facilities for shipments by enlarging the canals, and especially by more perfect arrangements for loading grain from cars and canal boats upon ocean steamers. Herein lies the solution of the question of transportation ; The.

ambition of Chicago is backed by executive p -omptitude. She aspires to become prac tically a seaport town," to carry on her traffic directly with foreign countries. Already she has an established trade by direct importations in coffees, teas, pepper and spices. She is rapidly unshackling from dependence on New York. The export of grain and pork will soon follow. Then it will speedily come to pas- that ways and means will be provided for cheaper transportation to New York and other seaboard cities. As the commerce of tho West Increases, its value will will create the competition necessary for reasonable prices. Business interests will easily do what it is exceedingly hard to enforce by legal proce. aaaapaaaaWaaMMBBS aaaaaaaa aaaaaS Michigan has lelt the reform impulse. A ..all has been issued by a legislative committee signed by members of both parties. This document sets forth these generali; recognized truths: - The organization of a new party Is clearly demanded. While Incompetency and corruption are rapidly multiplying; our burdens and disgracing the nation, the inability and unwillingnessni all existing partus to abate those ai d other evils, by themselves created, are becoming daily mora. and more plain. There is everywhere niaoifest a confident expectation that a new party will be formed. That many newspnpers of all shades of politics, as well as the people, demand that a new party shall bt formed, and that In some states where misrule has been conspicuously rampant, a new and succem-ful party bss been formed, are fact that significantly indicate what a tax-ridden and cheated people have decided to be their :talv and roller. In obedience to manifest

nnblic sentiment, and at the request of many men of aU parties, the undersigned, members of the state Kgisiaiure ana or ooin panics, unite In calling the electors of Michigan who are in favor of organizing a national reform party, to meet in mass convention at Lansing, on Thursday, Angust 8, ls74, at 10 P. M., to take r.nch steps as may be deemed advisable to secure the orfacization of a party on a bas's of live isrnes. and for a restoration of purity and statesman hlD tothehleh daces of our state and national government. An election of a state legislature, .täte officers and of a United State senator rapidly approaches. It Is fall time for action. Let us meet and take council together, and lay the foundation of a party thai shall be dedi cated to liberty, purity in office and reform in the administration of the government. There you have about the same thing that the tax-ridden and party-detesting people of this state have done. Indiana, Illinois Michigan, Kansas.Wisconsin, California and Iowa now stand in the same line of open opposition to party rule. In California, Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa, the reformers have carried the first battle, and Indiana 'will make - that result sure bv the work of June 10. Every sign by which the results of popular sentiment are forecasted, point to an overwhelming triumph of the independent voters in the autumn elections. Day by day, as the movement inaugurated by the farmers in this state, becomes bettor known,' it strengthens and increases in volume. Men who were at first hopeless and despondent of any escape from partisan misrule now look eagerly to this popular uprising as the sign on the sky. With discreet counsel and and determined work the highest hopes of the friends of reform may be fulfilled. By timidity, or divided counsels, the enemy may separate and emasculate the best elements of the convention, and render its work a delusion and a snare. When the contemplative patriot feels dis posed t.i enter the vale of despond because of the political degeneracy of the day and generation, there are some compensations which may tend to lift the bur den . of gloom and uphold the ancient pride of Americans in being sons and citizens of the great republic. Though we are not so great in the arts as France, nor so learned and thorough as the German, ror so commercially thrifty as the English, we have certain possessions that these - countries do not enjoy. General George B. McClellan is atpresent contributing a series of papers upon army organization, to Harper's Magazine,! aud some interesting facts are given in regard to national conscription. In England the term of enlistment is for ten or twelve, while in the United States it is only five years in limes or peace, conscription is divided into two classes: First, that under which all able-bodied men are called upon to render military service during pea as well as in war. The second includes only a rot tion of the able-bodied men, and oi those drawn the greater part are allowed substitutes. Russia and Austria come under the first class. n the former, the term oi service is fifteen years, of which a portion is on a leave of ab sence. In Austria the term is limited to eight years in the active service, with two years in the reserve. In France every man fit for service is liable for duty in the regular army, or the reserves from that of forty, for duty befor four years, the age of twenty to All Frenchmen liable long to the active army to the territorial army for five years, and to the reserve of' the 'territorial ' army - for six years, making a total of fifteen years. It is only in German? that the idea of universal obligation Is strictly' carried out. "" Only members of royal families, men physically incapable, and men con victed of crimes are exempt from service. This rigor, however, has only been in force since the reorganization in 1859-60. Every German, therefore, becomes a member of the standing army on completing his twentieth year and so continues seven years, n peace serving three years with the colors and four with the reserves. For the follow ing five years he belongs to the celebrated andwehr and no substitute are allowed. Hanging and kiudred "hideosities," of modern practice are in a fair way to be swept aside by the general discussion car ried on against them. The question, unfortunately, is not one that excites the earnest sympathies ot the general public, and the reform is likely to be slower than those that affect all clashes. Miss Mary Carpenter, the English philanthropist, has recently offered some practical suggestions to the New York rison Association. She condemns in the strongest - terms the - prison system of this country, especially that which finds acceptance at Sing Sing; and expresses a hope that the three stages of seclusion, association and comparative liberty which characterize the Irish or Croften system of discipline may be adopted in this county. She would provide for every prisoner a light, warm and wellventilated sleeping cell ; the offering of moral

intellectual and religious instruction to each prisoner,-and aU v jail -buildings ahouloj be commodious, healthy and provide accommodations for . physical exercise and recreation. Prisons for women should be entirely separate, and ander the control of women keepers only. AU prisoners on entering are to be kept In strict solitary confinement for not less than six months. Miss Carpenter is strongly opposed to the contract system lor making profitable the labor of the convicts. All these suggestions recommend themselves as eminently practical and humane and no good reason can be assigned why they should

not receive Immediate adoption in all the prisons and reformatories of this country, If, instead of paying off a large class of employes in cash at the week's end, they were obliged to receive their compensation in orders on the dealers whom they patron ize, there would probably be hoard some pretty loud complaints. Suppose half the week's wages were paid in greenbacks and the other half in tickets labelled "Good for one Drink," Deliver three cigars on presen tation," "Admit the Bearer," (severs places ot admission might be named where youRg men seem anxious to go), "This en titles to ten chances poker," and other rights and privileges of a kindred nature, how would hard working men regard that sort of currency as compensation for toil and skill rendered in their best days for laying the foundation of a fortune? Wculd they not say indignantly, these things are of no value at all, worse than worthless? Are we to be paid for work in this trash? We wil not receive it. We want our pay in some thing that is ot value, we work fcr money and can't afford to take half our earnings in stuff that only promotes vices, degrades our respectability and chains us to poverty and hard work for life. Yet is it not a tact that naif the- aggregate weekly salaries paid for hard and faithful work are changed within forty-eight hours for the equivalent of what has been suggested above? Money is useful only as it is exchanged, for such really valuable things as we need. If it be not so ex changed.or laid up.it is just exactly as wel not to come into the possession oi it. Of what use to work hard, earn good wages and when paid at the end of a week turn around fend burn up the greenbacks in the fire, or what is equally foolish, in reality far more foolish, baud it over for the support ot a class of men who live eff the follies and vices of their fellows, and in return for their support destroy the characters of their silly benefactors . When a young man pays out his cash, it might be well to ask who it is that be is working for. When the money is gone, earned by much sacrifice, wno has got it? Now, what man would be fool enough to contract his early life service gratuitously to the class ot pimps who get a large share of the fruits of labor? It may be answered and conceded that a partial indemnity is had in the act of using the money and the pleas ure ot givirg il away to indulge in personal vices and passions. But in a business light. there is no force in the argument. It is respectfully commended to the attention oi young working men, that there is a possi bility of certain independence before every one. If you look at men ot wealth and con sider their situation desirable, you can reach the same position; the road is open Rut you can not doit without saving your wages. Throw away your money and you can keep poor. There is nothing easier in this world than to act tbeibol. The begin ings of fortune are made only by self denial, fixed purpose and definite rules of ac tion, indexible rules that admit ot doing nothing by impulse, but which bring all transactions to figures put on paper and books of accounts. When the foundation is laid on money earned hy work and saved by will, the building up is easy A great many are very particular about large wages, but wholly indifferent to savings, either large or small. These are old and very common truths; but plain aud truoas they are, few seem to understand them. If any young worker reads them, and has anything in bis head answering to brains, he will see the point and act on it. There is money enough paid out, bard as the times seem to be, to enable single men to command their own capital within ten years and be independent, if they will do so From some quarter the Lafayette Courier claims to have obtained the key-note oi the republican campaign of the fall. It contains this authoritative statement: There 1 to be a fair, square fight this fall. Ihe republican party In county and state will endorse the Baxter bill and give no uncertain sound on finance, monopoly and all the great questions of the hour. How near to the throne the Courier may beto enabloiUto speak for the state, can be only a matter of conjecture. The tone implies a positive knowledge on the subject and a policy settled and agreed upon beyond contingency. Whether the decaying party in the state will accept this platform may be a little uncertain. As to the "fair, square fight" on the issues named, it is not so clear. Other i e.iple besides, the Courier and the republican party stand on very similar principle?. In seme counties ot the state, the democrats proclaim a championship of the same doctrines. Clinton and Johnson counties, at least, both democratic in the past by large majorities, put the Baxter plank into their platform. How will the Courier make a "square fight" with these democratic brethren? As to monopolies, reform of expenses, taxation and corruption in office, it will be hard to get up a fight with any body outside the republican party on those issues. It the Courier makes a square fight against those sins in the republican lines, the great party will certainly be a bouse divided against it self and will fall. The evils against which the fight is proposed are the sole property and attributes of the republican party. It is possible that the Courier to fight with advantage on the issues proposed will find it convenient to get out of the republican party. It will find by consulting the organs of the great lights in that party that they contemplate a policy diametrically the reverse of that proposed. The head-center of all the organs ia ferociously hostile

to the Courier's temperance plank, and expects to make a fair and square fight on the other side of. the question. How will that work T '

Oliver hasn't given up the ship of Inflation by any means. While the country is laughing at his late . letter, which virtually makes him a foe of inflation, it has come to pass that the offlce-hok'ers in the state are working to get delegates sent to the republican convention, instructed to endorse Senators Morton and Pratt in their financial floundering. It is hard to say what a republican convention will not endorse, if directed by Morton, but how his followers can consistently endorse him as the champion of expansion when his letter puts him in opposition, is incomprehensible. Mr. Morton' in that letter actually declares himself opposed to any inflation which really inflates, and shows bow the president's reasons for the veto were Impossible to be ignored. Yet here are the chief government officers in the state, appointed at Mr, Morton's solicitation writing to subordiuato officials in all parts of the state,' to ha e delegates "fixed" to endorse Morton and Pratt and the Indiana representatives. It don't matter much what the republican convention does to be sure, and probably General Grant will cause a stirring of things when be finds what Mr. Supervisor Poweil is engaged in, but it is just as well to unsover the tricK by which Mr. Morton has heretofore ept himself anoat as a leader of the "great party." The whole clamor for inflation was like the Cuban war furore bred in a week and obliterated iu an hour. Business men are few and far between now who take any stock in such a delusion, and the sooner the discussion ot the shadow of the possibility of such a thing is dropped, the sooner Indiana will take rank among the sound business commonwealths of the country. This state has suffered almost irreparaoly by the figure which Morton and his satellites have been making in congress, and we need some sounding word of disavowal, such as the convention of the 10th suould utter, if it is guided by wisdom and intelligence. The re formers must make it plain to the trembling trimmers or Dotn parties that courage is demanded in the discussion of this ques tion, and those who feared to utter their un changiug convictions lecause they thought heresy popular, are no longer needed to di rect affairs. Missouri farmers are giving the loyal par tisan mind trouble. The state, it may be remembered, is strongly democratic, and gave Greeley its electoral vote. The party has not been wise in its legislative action nor indeed in any of its action. The stain of corruption hashung over the party lead ers, and as a conscience there is a re for u spirit making itself visible, which somewhat discomposes the ' part folks. In many counties there are contentions o! farmers called, and if the thing goes on there is no knowing but state convention may be undertaken as in this state. It is noted by the St. Louis Republican that the counties moving in this direction are not, as might be suspected, re publican, but, on the contrary, five to ore democratic, and and the members of the granges stand five to one as compared with the republicans. So you see they have discovered over there that parties too old and too strong are not to be trusted. When the republicans have been in control for a term, and fastened themselves in power, a reign of unchecked corruption is the conse quence, w hen the democrats come to what seems unrestrained power, precisely the same thing is seen. So to check this we must erect carties whose mission shall end so soon as the abuses of confidence and strength make thettselves visible. Chastened by rebukes of this sort, the old parties may be trusted again, but under more repntable names those of the past are offensive. That was a signal piec of common sense, as well as legal well doing, which came from the Pittsburg judge in deciding on the crusade ouestion. The case desorveä per petual reminder to warn other officious magistrates that decency in the long run tri umphs over lawlessness. Three women, Mrs, Black, Mrs. Van Horn and Mrs. Youngson, were lined f'i each and costs by Acting Mayor McMasters for singing and prajing on the streets. The cases were carried up on a writ of certiorari, to the court of Com mon Plea, and last Thursday a hearing was had before three judges, Sterrett, Collierand Stowe. As may be supposed great interest was manifested, some two hundred and fifty adies being present in the court room, and every other nook and corner being tilled with the curious crowd. Lawyer Jennings opened the case on tight exceptions, of which five were technical defects in the record and three denying the charges on which the women had been fined by the mayor. The only point of prac tical interest is that which declares that "collecting upon the sidewalk, singing and praying, attracting a large crowd, obstructing the street and sidewalk and refusing to move on, is not disorderly cond Jet, nor does it tend to a breach of the peace." The "learned counsel" had evi dently prepared for windy words on the occasion which were sum marily collapsed by Judge Stowe. The issue being found In the record, the court evidently considered itself competent to decide the points without the enlight ening aid of arguments by the lawyers Some spicy colloquy between ihe latter and the court will be found in another place. The judges promptly decided that singing and praying on the street was not disorderly conduct, nor did It tend to a breach of the peace. If crowds collected and became disorderly, ihey, not the persons praying, were the criminals. Judge Stowe very pointedly remarked that you might just as well hang a man for assault and battery as attempt to convict the women under the charge contained in the record . The singing and praying on the sidewalk might be held a nuisance, but that was not the charge, and such a charge, if made, would come before the court of quar er sessions, and not before the mayor. The inexorable dignity of the law was happily '

iilusrtrsUtd bv the court which had vindicated

the csvse? Oihe women, promptly suppressing their expressions of joy, and silencing the suggestion oi a -prayer meeting in the court room with a warning that it would be an act of contempt, - making them liable to bo sent to jail. Jeremiah Wilson of this state is a man of a thousand good works and but one conspic uous error. lie fell Into tbe crime ot the grab; before and since that fatal error, be built himself up in the respect and admira won ot every man wbo loves an incorruptible public official. Tbe elected of a party running to rottenness, h6 has kept bimoelf unspotted from the world of political jobbery a member of the ma jority in congress; he has criticised with even more freedom than the minority the sense of his Kssociates. He has dealt without prejudice, and judged without favor the crimes and corruptions of bis own party ad ministration, and, as a consequence, the men who manage and control that vile body are frowning him down, and excluding him from their confidence. Judge Wilson's record in, Indiana will make it ratner difficult for him to remain out of the public service for any length of time. When bis sin in the salary grab has been atoned, he will meet he hearty support of of the state without regard to party in any office which requites absolute fidelity to the proper interests, large experience in affairs, and perfect mastery of tbe laws of the country. Comment ing on the telegraphic announcement of Judge Wilson's refusal to take a nomination for Congress again, the St. Louis Republl can, tbe leading independent paper in the Southwest, makes this compliment, which Indiana endorse: In the case of ordinary chronic office-seekers it is always lair to consider an announcement of this kind as an intimation that the perron making it is particularly desirous ot avoiding retirement from public lite. But in the case ot Judge Wilson it must be taken literally, for he Is ii man altogether above subterfuges and one who means always exactly w hat he sa vs. The country has cause to hope that the public life of this man will not terminate with the 4th of March, 1875. He is of a cla.ss of public servants whose number is not so laige that any of them can well be spared. In the last two sessions of congress he has been the Instrument of more justice to evil-doers, the avenger of more wrongs against the bnly politic, the patient, earnest director of more salutary investigations than any other member of either house of congress. It has become understood at least In Washington that Judge Wilson is the man at whose hands any complaints against an omfrer of the government is certain to receive most thorough consideration and the most searching In estimation. Heposses es that rare and in these -imes invaluable quality, a perfectly judicial miud, incapable of bias for the saka of party, sections or personal feeling. In short, la these days', when the Investigation of official misdoing and the punUbmentoi official evil-doers is the u.ont Important branch of congressional service. Judge Wilson is the most valuable man In congress. It makes no difference upon what ticket he is elected, or who has to be Deaten to secure hin election, he fhould remain In congress fcr the timple reason that lie is the right man in the right place ana at tne right time. General Coburn did a masterful work in the army bill. To appreciate the prodigious proportions ot tbe thing you should understand the forces in opposition. To achieve a single step in economy he has had to face . tbe administration, which is notoriously opposed to a reduction of any kind and .or strong reasons. All the high places in tbe army as well as the fat places are filled by the president's friends, or tbe irienos of his friends. To work toward the cutting a single lieutenant off the roll, brings a clamor from tbe whole administration lobby, which generally smothers weak members into discreet silence. (Jeneral Coburn has relished this. He is, therefore, like Mr, Holcaan, a very unpopular man with the lobby. He is not invited to army "doings' of any kind and not much iu favor at tbe White House. His work in the armyabill reduces the present force of 30,000 to 25,000 men. It abolishes one superfluous major in all tha cavalry and artillery regi ments. ''Also the regimental quartermas- ' ter and adjutant and company wagoner, ' and three of the aids of the general. In the 1 adjutant-general's department the permacent staff is cut down nine, and the bill 4 provides for details of eight officers of the line into the staff. The inspector's departmentis reduced from eight to five; the 4 bureau of military justice is reduced from ten to five; quartermaster-general's de partment from r7 to 40, with a detail of 10 'from tbe line; subsistence department from to 17, with a detail of eight officers from the line. In the 4 medical - department the. officers are in'creased from 15T to 200. The number of ' contract surgeons is reduced Irom 173 to 75. ' The pay department is reduced from 47 to ' 34, and tbe new feature introduced of pay- ' ing troops by direct drafts on the treasury, 'with the promise that where this is found ' inconvenient the secretary of war may or der currency to be paid. The ordinance ' department la reduced'from i7 to 43 perma- ' nent officers, and 16 details from the line. Tbe engineer corps is left untouched. . Pro- ' motions are open to all the corps of tbe Btaff. When a vacancy occurs in tbe staff. 4 which is to be filled by detail, the officer is 4 to be selected by a board of five after competitlve Examination'.- The officers thus detailed are to serve four years, and cannot be detailed until after four years previous ser4 vice with the troops. Provision is also 4 made for a board to retire officers fouud to be incompefent, and officers wbo have 4 served thirty years are to be put on the retired list." A furious opposition met tbe bill on every stage, and General Co born was denounced as demagogue catering to vulgar popular prejudices. The fight against it will be re doubled in the Senate and we shall see how much power the lobby has then. The saving to tbe country by its passsge will be not less than 6,000,000 or 7,000,000 and tbe best of tbe republican profession to economy may very well be made in this measure of economy. A combination of artists and journalists has been formed in Paris lor tbe purpose o hissing the immoral drama oft the ttage. The three county commissioners of Barn well county, South Carolina, convicted of corruption, have been sentenced respectively o ten years, nine years, and thirteen months n the penitentiary.
