THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL"- TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17. 1874.

TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 17.

The Tribune seems to think that there is plenty of money in the market, and it is by no mean patient over the supposed defection ol Grant to the Inflationists: Never In the history of the country wev e bo many millons laying Idle mi now. . Money ding in the market la this busiest easpn t the yea?.

There is nothing 10 ms prions disadvantage. He has dignity, grace, ahiiitv. reputation, aptitude and popularity His chances are the best to-day of any 01 i candidates suggested. Washington Star. Well It looks as if he was in for it, ana the Sentinel will gracefully recede from its rw-5tinn in favor of makinz him chairman of the committee on way i and means. It is said that Augustin Daly, of the Fifth Avenue Theater, New York, has quarreled with George Clarke because that actor refuser! tr out nfT his mustache to take the part of Charles Surface in Sheridan's Schoo lor Scandal. As a rule actors ought to be barefaced, literally and metaphorically, but when one of them.has a pet mustache it is asking too much to require its sacrifice for the 6ake of costume in a play. It is hinted however.that the quarrel between Daly and Clarke is due to an entirely different canse, and the papers generally attack the former for his overbearing and unbearable manners with hi fliinnloves. It would be a misr fortune if Daly's personal unpopularity should affect his theater, as it has done more to bring forward American artists and American plays than all the other theaters in the country. The press of the state is certainly abusing the Sentinel as heartily as it it was paid tor the job. And now numberless -Journals in quire with a sneer: "What is a low caste democrat?" The Sentinel does not recollect emnlovins that term, but remembers making use of the correlative phrase which implies the existence of it, first in referring to republicans and afterward in referring to democrats. However, if these papers are anxious for the opinion of the Sentinel on a subject which seems to interest them con. siderably, they shall have it. The Sentinel thinks a man who voted for Breckenridge against Douglas who opposed the war for the Union who bawled for gold when the country could not maintain specie payment save at the risk of ruin, and who now bawls for paper when the use of it will bring national dishonor who is ready to sacrifice every time-honored principle pf the democratic party for the take of a petty annoyance to the administration who voted for O'Conor against Greeley and who fought for the salary grab and took back pay and defended Credit Mobilier any, man who has done all these things, or the most ot them, and is perpetually snapping at the heels of the men who did none of them, is, in the judgment of the Sentinel, a low caste democrat. That is as plain as this paper knows how to talk. Furthermore, democracy of this stripe will never get the control of the United States government, and never'ought to. A petition, or rather a memorial, will be presented to Congress as soon as that body assembles, asking that the metric system of weights and measures ba adopted in all the operations of the government and its departraents. It is the opinion of the American Metrological Society, which held a meeting at Cooper Institute in New York on Monday, that this is the only effective method of bringing a uniform system into general use. The members of this society are gentlemen of learning, who appreciate the urgent importance of reform in the system of weights and measures. In nothing else are we so slow, and so much behind Improvement, as in the irregular and complicated modes of weights and measures, which have come down from past generations. The decimal system should be applied in all estimates and calculations. It would be as ad van tag?ou8 in weighing sugar and measuring lumber as it is in the denominations of money used instead of the English pounds, shillings and pence. The difficulty lies in making the change. An attempt was made to introduce the cental system into the grain tmde a few yearn ago. but failed, be cause of the trouble attending the reform, The government can accomplish it, and to that the effort will now be directed. The society, hold their annual meeting Decern berZ). . The third assistant postmaster general, the Hon". E. M. Barber, baa just completed his annual report. It shows that during the last fiscal year there were issued to post masters, for sale to the public, 632,733,000 adhesive postage stamps of the value of 117,273,242; of plain stamped envelopes, about C3,tXX,000, valued at f 1,927,952; of stamped en velopes bearing a return request, 52.000,000, valued at 1,733, 738; of newspaper wrappers, some 19,000,000, valued at 220,000, and of postal cards 91,000,000. The number of stamps issued each year is shown to increase at a uniform rate of about ten per .cent, per annum. In the "dead lettr" division there are 4,601,773 Utters reported as received representing an actual or nominal value of $4,637,429, exclusive of jewelry, etc The third assistant earnestly recom mends the use by postmasters throughout thje country of indelible ink, for the effectual cancelling cf postage stamps and for post marking. Under this head tie stimate? that (be number of "washed" fetamp usecf a second timq throughout tho country is ivqual to five per cent, of tho value of all the stamps sold, thus causing an annual loss to the revenue of the department of $1,000,000. On the first of January the new plaJ devised by Gen. Barber fcr. the collection of DOwspaper postage goes into effect. Thig aystem provides for the nse

of a stub or stamp affixed to a book to be kept by the postmaster at the mailing office. To this stub Is to be 1olned a receipt Bhowing the weight of the matter and the amount paid, the stamps being cancelled by .punching the stubs. These stubs represent all values of stamps, and thus is secured the prompt and certain payment of the true newspaper posttge. It is confidently expected that this system will yield a larger revenue than ever before obtained notwithstanding the reduction in rates. This plan, however, does not affect

circulating In the counties in. which they are printed. The Jfew Key Vote. It is not very safe to trust the rumors from Washington just now, but there is one re cently set afloat which bears someemblance of probability. It is said that the repumi cans intend to retrieve their fallen fortunes by making vast appropriations fer internal improvements, and tnus setting enterprise. speculation and labor in full and vigorous operation once more. Reckless politicians calculate that if the people can secure a short and feverish season of prosperity, they wil not pause to consider the means by which it is attained or the uncertainty of its tenure, That a vast system of national improvements Khonld be Ditched upon as the best plan for the salvation cf the admlnistra tion is natural enough, and without doubt it will meet with the almost unanimous sup port of the republican leaders. The presi uenthas been continually urging such i noliev. The congressional address issued m - w last spring plainly indicated that the opinion of the signers seconded that of the exeeu tive. Now that the pet schemes for a cana around Niagara Falls, a canal across the Vir ginia mountains from the Kanawha to the James, a canal across the Southern states to Savannah, a canal at the mouth of the Mississippi, and a double track freight railroad from St. Louis to New "York can be made to save the party, very few good republicans will hesitate to vote for them. The idea of throwing into the control of the government a system of great works employing as many men as war, and costing almost as much money, is a bold one. The administration with the management of such grand projects in its hands will be virtually as supreme as it would be with a foreign foe on our borders. And all the time the work can be carried on with enthusiastic declarations that the na tion is engaged in the conquests of peace; that our victories are those of industry and enterprise: and that the vast resources of the nation are alone capable of winning for the countrv those triumphs over nature which were beyond the reach of individual capital. Will the party now in power ven ture to play such a desperate game? The history of the Eacifie Railroad shows what it has done. Let the following extract from the national manifesto of the republican senators and congressmen, issued at the be ginning of the canvass, prove what its leaders contemplate doing. Speaking of cheapening transportation they say: Another expedient i to build a double track railway between the Mississippi and the Atlantic over which any party may run trains, and all trains to run with the same rate of speed. This is worthy of careful consideration. The practicability of relief through governmental action is being ascertained by an able commis sion constituted by a recent act of Congress. A third expedient, and the most Important of all, is that proposed by the Senate committee on transportation routes to the seaboard. That proposes to open or enlarge several different water channels between the Mississippi and t he Atlantic. We invite your earnest and careful consideration of that proposal. It is asserted that by an expenditure of iD,U),00U per year for six or seven years, new channels may be opened which will lessen the cost of transporting the grain produce of the Mississippi valley alone in ine snm or si.uxmx) annually. The tleures are startling, but are far from improbable. The ex penditure proposed seems large, but compared with the resources of the people it is trifling. The wealth ol the nation is not Jess than $;),uou.000,000. lie who has an estate of t JO.Otu can not be distressed by paying siu a year for six years Besides, a nation which has spent .WU.000.ouo of treasure aud an ocean of life for peace, will not hesitate to spend iL ,000,000 for prosperity. Notwithstanding the way in which this statement is made, and the rose-colored view which is presented of the expenditures nvolved, it is plain that the men who put their hands to this manifesto did not shrink from the contemplation of a series of public works whose costliness would make the nation, overburdened as it now is with debt, stagger. If such a scheme could be coolly announced in spring, in the confidence of victory, how much more likely is it to be pushed forward in the fall in the hope ot recovering from defeat. The peculiar beauty of the design, in addition to the vast poorer and patronage which it throws into tho hands of the administration, lies in the fact that the undertaking of a By stem of public Improvements will give an opportunity for an inflation of tbecurrency, and not a lew of the shrewd politicians of the republican party are now grasping after : the inflation - Idea with the : convulsive grip ( of a drowning man. The immense expenses caused by the internal Improvements can be met with new issues of green-J backs just as the expenses of the war were ! met by the issue of legal tender notes. We should have another period of riot, ex travagance and vicious indulgence, such as tbe past ten years have been, followed by a general collapse into national and individual bankruptcy. At the end of that era the people might have learned finally there is but little difference between a community borrowing money to squander it and a single merchant raising cash by discounting his notes and losing the proceeds in speculation. They would be aware that the day of reck oning comes for both; but in the meanwhile the politicians wonld have enjoyed their brief season of glory and profit. The Sentinel has heretofore declared Its hostility to all schemes involving subsidies from the government for works that ought to be carried on by private enterprise for private profit. It takes this opportunity to warn the people tobe vigilant in their watch fulness over tbe desperate schemers who will make a last effort at Washington this winter to recover their fallen fortunes. Remember the truo principle just now In re gard to all great schemes of. improvement, excepting those afTocting natural harbors and water courses, Is for government to keep Its hands oft Whea tbe national re publican committee closed its address last spring with tbe following ensure of the

democracy, the administration pronounced virtually the highest possible eulogy of the opposition: . , If the national government is to do anything whatever to cheapen transportation, only the republican party can be relied upon to do it. The democratic party haa forsworn all such labors. Long ago they determined the eonstjtuUon would not permit the government to remove an obstruction from a harbor or a river, it is vain to suppose they will find now authority to build canals or construct railways.

Ihe Scape Goat. , The Chicago Tribune signalizes the first day of its return to republicanism by an editorial on the temperance issue, entitled "Prohibition a Ruinous Policy." This phrase ia significant of the purpose of the article, but a few extracts will make its spirit and design clear enongh. Almost at the outset the Tribune attributes the recent defeat of the republican party to ita temperance policy. It says: More than third-term prattle.tnore than Butlerism, more than press-gag and CrediUMobiller party, and placed its opponents in power in every state where it was made a political issue. Its mischievous influences commenced in the October elections. For some time previous, the states of Ohio and Indiana nad been the center of the most active efforts of the prohibitionists. which resolved themselves into the shape of woman crusades, and were attended with the most reckless Invasions of private rights. The Tiibune goes on to tell how the ex citement increased, and how the temperance people, by threats ot a third party move ment, got control of the republican organization. The result was the defection of large numbers of republicans, while temperance democrats stood firm : Thousands of republican sa'oon-keepers. re Dublican brewers and venders, and renubiican consumers of beer and wines, of foreign descent, regarded this unwise action of tbe party as a direct personal blow at them, and they at once leaguel tnemseives witn tne democracy in a contest for personal rights, -which they con sldered as of more consequence than the triumph or tne repuoucan party in me "on-year." uweuing wim eloquent indignation on tbe woes of this class of people who were not only cut off from their liquor on Sun day but on every day and night in the week, the Tribune asserts that the overwhelming defeat of the republicans became inevitable. All the saloon influences organized against them, and even in Massachusetts the great party of moral ideas went down under tbe weight of its excessive goodness. This is a rather strange confession to make, to-wit, that the party has won by alliance with the beer saloons and has lost by its war upon them. Certainly politics have fallen to a low state if this be so. The conclusion of the Tribune's article is worth quoting at full length: It is almost superfluous to moralize upon these facts. The election taDiesoi octooer and .No vember are silent, but suggestive proof of the reckless and egregious blunder which the republican leaders have permitted themselves to be dragooned into maklcg, and if any further pruui Ol Luis Bui ii ia uccucui a. w iuuuu m abundance in the political records of Chicago durintr the past two or three years. The only safety for the partv is to let sumptuary legislation alone. Prohibition is not and can not be made a party principle. If it is made a law,' it can not be enforced. In Wisconsin, Iowa, Ver mont, Rhode Island, Nebraska, wherever the republican party has ignored and refused to have anything to do with this lony, it has re tained its power. To persist in bolstering up this mischievous, and Insane movement any longer is simniv suicidal rroniomon rausi oe nroiiibited in the republican party, u it seeks lor sue cess. And now the Sentinel wishes to present briefly and bitterly its own criticism on this stuff which may be taken as a sample of the comment of the vhole republican press on the late election, me uoctrine of the re publican party on prohibition was unsound; but the party leaders adopted it because they supposed it was popular; and now after the contest is over they come out and acknowl edge with unparalleled effrontery that they were hypocrites all along in the advocacy ol temperance. To protect tho many political villainies of the party they mate a scapegoat of an attempted reform. They have for months denounced the honest advocates of a license system as "apostles ot free rum," panderers to vicious appetites" and "chain pions of the vilest classes of society," and now, after wearing these airs of mora! supe riority so long as they had anything to gain by them, these pious gentlemen come down coolly to the level of those whom they have i been denouncing. There has been about enough of this kind of thing. It is time for republican journals to fling off all puritan leal pretense about being better than their neighbors, or else stand to their pretense in foul weather as well as fair. If they are going to enlist in what they have been calling the service of the devil, let them put off the livery of heaven at once. Let them as a preliminary step throw aside all that counterfeit temperance, piety, and morality with which they have wrapped themselves aa with a cloak during the past six months Let these pseudo saints moreover beg the pardon of the sinners whom they have been maliciously lying about in tneir role as Pharisees. The Sentinel is perfectly -willing that these journals should assume a proper position In regard to sumptuary legislation, but it wants it understood that thev change their base like a set of hypo-1 crites and liars, unless they make ample apologies for their past slanders upon contemporaries that were either wiser or honester than themselves prohibition question. in dealing with the . One subject has been under discussion this week at Philadelphia which Is in no daDger of being overdone. It is the public health considered with reference to the influences of a general character which affect it. The American Public Health Association, which closed its session on yesterday, is composed of men thoroughly intelligent and scientific. Hence their proceedings do not partake of the character of visionary Bocial and moral reformers. While the discussions are scien tific they are at the same time eminently practical. The Journal of Commerce aptly remarks that the subject named is "really very new and fresh, which ought to be one of the oldest and most - hackneyed in the world." The popular study of individual health and (some of ita plainest laws was a thing unknown thirty years ago. It was first introduced to the public by Df Calvin Cutter, of New Hampshire, a man in no respect remarkable except his boldness in forcing ' upon the people the study of physiology and hygiene, and his success in so presenting the subject in his admirable Bchool books, that it "took," as the saying is, with the people. He is justly entitled to the credit of successfully inaugurating a

new line of popular thought, and one oi the

greatest possible importance. Other men and abler ones followed him into the field, wrote better books, scientifically considered, and poshed forward the educa At t f 1 . uon wnicn ne negan. ii at no man can take away the rightful honor of Calvin Cut ter. His text books, despite a certain su perfidality and looseness, have surpassed all others in making the subject fascinating to th? unscientific, and by revision and improvements, have held their ground against all competition, and are to-day the adopted authority In tbe schools of this country. The study of sanitary principles, A mm . in ineir general enect, has probably grown out of this first impulse of physiology in the rchools. It is true that the medical proles eion are ready enough to talk about it now, but. tip . to the last quarter century' it was not so, Previous to that, the motto of the profession was like St. Paul's on the Trinity, "Great is the mystery of health and disease," especially of the latter. Instead of mystery, the truth is, great is the stupidity which fails to detect the causes which slay the people like sheep and make tbe solemn and "skeery" old funeral hymn literally true: Bangers stand thick throngh all the ground, To hurry mortal's home, Or vaway from home where they ought to stav to a good old age and then die with decency and com posure. The joke is, if one can call it a joke, that the dangers which stand so thick are largely created and most reprehensibly tolerated by the very people who lay the blame of their dead children and friends upon a kind and beneücent Providence, who is fighting, as it were, continually, by the purifying and restorative energies of nature to counteract tbe mischief ot man. But we are gradually getting out of tbe woods. Intelligent discussions, con veying to the people undoubted information of tbe causes which kill them will by and by produce a reformation which will be in reality, salvation. It will not be found even in" peverse human nature to fight against itself long after it is truly en lightened. Men will complain of expense, to do sure, Decause some wouia almost as soon die as to pay taxes, in fact.would much rather see their neighbors die than to do it. But when law enlightened, takes hold, they may squeal but can't get away. The discussions of the Association have taken a pretty broad range, and the theorists have managed (probably it is Inev itable) like every other class who see that a good thing needs to be done, to run their heads against the rock of the federal gov ernment. They want the general government to have its uniformed grandmas to put all the children to bed and see to it that everybody is properly cared for. This is the familiar streak of nonsense which ran through the otherwise sensible deliberations of tho association. No matter.the government papa business will soon be exploded in so public a manner as to scatter ita advocates. But that boards of health properly organ ized and clothed with necessary powers, will be provided to enforce regulations for the defense of the people .gainst sweeping epidemics, is not to be doubted. The work of the convention alluded to is directed to this end, and will hasten it. There should be sanitary laws, and officers to enforce them, such as will protect society from the fatal consequences of carelessness, ignorance and criminal disregard of the public safety. The Senator sulp Again. The declaration of the Sentinel against making the party platform of the last campaign a test to measure the qualifications of a senator from Indiana has created a great deal of disturbance. This is well. It is clear from the amount of commotion which the shot has caused that it was pretty effective. Leaving the clique of Ohio politicians over the border at Cincinnati to dictate to the people of Indiana who ahall be their next senator, the Sentinel proposes to con tinue the discussion ot the principles that ought to control his election. Again this journal reiterates its opinion that the platform adopted for the last canvass has served its purpose and that it was not Intended to be the Infallible standard of democracy for all future time. It is just as unreasonable , to demand abso lute adherence to that declaration of princi pies and policy as it would be to demand adherence to the state and national plat forms of two years ago.which differ from it in so many essential points. In truth no able and original politician can swear implicit faith in each item of any party creed. His party reputation must be estimated by his political action and the general drift of his prejudices and opinions, while his fitness for office should be measured by his honesty, ability and steadiness of character. Let us apply the test ot the repudiation resolution in the last platform as the touch stone in the choice of a senator: It is urged that no man is fit to represent the state of Indiana who is not ready to endorse the declaration in favor of repealing the act of March, 1S69 and willing to pledge himself to take measures to secure such a repeal. The Sentinel is willing to maintain that no man should be made sena tor who either proresses to lavor such a repeal or pledges himself to work for it. The reason is very simple. No man of ability and political experience can come before the people of the State claiming an election at their hands on such grounds except he comes as a hypocrite and a dema gogue. In the first place he is holding out as a lure a hope of getting satisfaction out of the money lenders who speculated on the necessities of tbe nation; while he knows perfectly well that such ascheme is deceptive. The men who bought bonds early in the war hare got rid of them long since, and those who purchased in times of depreciated currency exacted the express condition of specie payment. Therefore, if there be any malice in this movement it must fail of its design. The punishment of repudiation must fall on innocent men, who may be made to lose in compensation for the gains of others. Again, the repeal of the act in the present condition of politics is scarcely a

live issue. It is a project which is utterly impracticable. Tbe democratic house meets

next year, and supposing that its members were maa enough, to pass an act repealing the law oflSG9,yet it would fall dead, as the republican senate would refuse to sanction such a measure, and a republican president would set the seal of his veto upon it. Beiore the class of bonds to be affected can be pronounced payable In greenbacks tney wui doubtless be out of the market. Moreover, it must De remembered that these

oonas, aitnougn originally sold to our own counties; D. signifies democrat; R, repubcitlzens, eventually went to foreign markets. Ucau nd I independent.

The silence, which meant to Americans dur ing the era of our trouble that the bonds were redeemable in currency, meant abroad the simple legal principle of in terpreting a contract against the maker that they were redeemable in tbe money of the world. Thera mftrTit Via tt a Kn-t i. ... , icu a niiirciuaps, wnen, wnn Que regard to national honesty and national honor, we cuum cave reaeemea the 5-20' in err Mr, . backs, but the law of 1869 settled that doubt forever. Tbe nation, by its authorized airent made therein a deliberate pledge, m the face oi tne world, as a guide in future business transactions and a guarantee for past ones. . m Minsiaer ior a moment what the forfeiture of this pledge means. It Implies that the government intends tn rnir in nin.. .t. i. t . . . proposes to lift its own paper bear ing interest with new demand notes, not bearing interest, and not good on demand : and that it desiens to snhmitnt a fnr minn tary loan.valaable &S a bnsines, lntmnL a forced loan made comparatively worthless by the mere fact of its creation. It signifies that the word of the United States is good for nothing; that the nation Is a cheat and a swindler. Thus the whole bonded and cur reney duDt of tbe country is 'at a single stroke deprived of the main element of its value; for the value of paper, either as bonds fi uiuuey, uuranas cuienv on tne in tegrity of him who issues it. When tne first step In the path of dishonor was taken by the repudiation of a commercial obligation deliberately as sumed, no man holding United States paper could be certain that the next step would not result in the utter disregard of all honest debts. What kind of a credit would we have abroad? what kind of a currency at home? inns he who counsels this course of action deliberately advises the nation to break all moral law, all business law, sim ply on tne ground that the government is too powerful a swindler to be called to ac count. The Sentinel therefore repeats that one thus believing that dishonesty is the rest poncy, or not oeiievlngit. out prolessing to believe it in the hope of office, is not fit to be senator of Indiana. This arerument ia is made purely impersonal, for there is so much at stake on tbe use which the democ racy makes of its new-found power that these things should be coollv considered mainly with reference to the principles invoivea in tnem. A $40,000 HAUL. EXPRESS SAFE ROBBERY. The American Express Cincinnati. - Robbery at CAPTURE OF ONE OP THE ALLEGED THIEVES. ESCAPE OP HIS ACCOMPLICE. Superintendent Sloan of the American Express Company received a tele gram from Cincinnati Sunday eveni telling him of one of the most daring robberies ever committed, and to arrest Abe Monroe and his accomplice. The former is one of the company's messengers. The telegram stated that they were on the train that arrives here at midnight over the I. C; ana Jj. roaa. Accordingly the police were notified and all precautions taken to pro vent the escape pf the two men. Messengers ana agents oi me company boarded the train at different places and kept watch of the two men. At Greens burg the ene who is a stranger to the managers ot the express company got up from the seat in which he and Monroe were sitting and left the car. From that time h6 has not been seen. Capt, Hennessey, of tbe police force, boarded the train at the Indianapolis, Cincinnati x La fayette shops, and soon dis covered Monroe sitting quietly in one of the seats. He immediately took hold of him, and held on to him and his satchel until the (rain arrived in the depot. where the officers of the company at this point were in waiting. Monroe was very paie ana repeatedly askea what tne arrest was for. He was taken into the express office at the depot where he was confronted by Mr. Sloan. He again asked for tbe cause of his arrest, and hesitatingly shook the proffered hand of Mr. Sloan. He was taken into tho private room to one side and searched. Nothing ot a guilty nature was found in his satchel or anywhere about his person. A search of the baggage car tailed to give any cine to tue MISSING 8 A FE AND TRCJfK. He was then taken to the station bouse by . the police, at the direction of Mr. . Sloan, and . held until further orders. Of course there is room for doubt as to his guilt. He has been in the employ ot the American l-Jipreas company ior eight or ten years, part or me time as a messenger on the I. C. & L. road and of late in tbe same capacity on the Great Eastern road running out of Cincin nati. Several persons who know Monroe were confident that he is not gnilty. Others say that he used to bear a bad character and at one time had the reputation of a gambler while he was traveling with a circus. As it is, however, the evidence is strong against him. Just what was done with Sale is not known. After developments seem to show that It was one of the boldest operations ever known. The day watchman at the general office in Cincinnati says that yesterday afternoon he Baw two men come into the office carrying a trunk. As she knew at least one of the parties he paid no attention to them and, as he stated to a messenger of the company, let them go about without asking them any question. It seems that after they carried the trunk into the room, and very deliberately took up the safe of the messenger who runs on the Great Eastern railroad, and putting the safe, which was a small one, into the trunk, walked out with it. As the man Monroe was a messenger on this line, the watchman supposed it was all ncht. When the messenger who used this safe came to the office he conld not find it. and assed the watchman if he knew anything about it, and was then told what had been seen. This was tola to the reporter by one of tbe messengers on the run from Cincinnati to Chicago, and may be a mistake, but it is given as it was re ported.
