Let us have the name of the author of the Morey letter. Republican papers have repeatedly asserted that the author was a prominent Democrat. Now we challenge them to prove it. An observing exchange wisely says: ''It is the little things that fret and worry up. A thre-year-oId boy may keep a man in perfect misery, whereas no such trials would accompany the presence of his eighteen-year-old sister Get.rl Brady telephoned Fitzgerald who went on his bond for $-20. 000, to appear when called for at the trial, when it will bo decided whether or not the late Second Assistant Fostniaster General shall wear regulation jacket and trousers. CoMiKEss is likely to be in session all summer. Six months have been spent and only four of the fourteen regular appropriation bills have been disposed of. The danger now is that these important bills will be ru hed through with a speed anything but jut to the taxpayers. So fab Sergeant Mason's imprisonment has netted him $7,000, andcush continues to flow in to Betty and the baby. As soon as Arthur lets him oqt of prison Maon will be employed at a salary of$l.oJ0a year, provided he is not rich enough by that time to run a wheat corner in Chicago. The näe of money in a campaign is being deplored by some Republicans. It depends a gao-i deal, however, on who has it to use. Dorey "soap' has a very pleasing and inTitirjg look to them. It is when Democrats get some to use that the wail of holy horror escapes the lips of the "morai" party. lisEAT efforts are being put forlh to harmonize the Jlepublican factions in Pennsyl vania, but so far little headway has been made. Probabilities favor the complete overthrow of the republican party in the old Keystone State. It has outlived its use fulness, if, indeed, it ever had any, and its disappearance will be hailed with general satisfaction. iiR. Conklisg has at last found it neces sary to come down to the foot-lights and explain. His habit has been never to notice newspaper assaults, but the Kingston Free man piled iton so heavily that Conk couldn't st&i: 1 it. and he broke away from the habit of his life and made a sweeping denial. It is ife to say that Blaine don't believe a word of Conk'3 denial. Taz frequency cf labor troubles is not cal culated to mke people happy. At Cumberland, Mo.j 300 striking miners are on the warpa'.h, and riotare feared whenever men are inrroduced to take their places. Troubles are brewing in Pittsburg among the iron woikers. and one of the most extensive lockouts the iron industry has ever experienced will begin with the 1st of June. Such things are misfortunes. . The indications are that more idle men will tramp the streets this summer than for several summers past. The strike epidemic passing over the country is sure to have the effect of reducing employment, producing idleness and want. The class who will suffer most are day laborers, who have no organisation to draw upon when out of employment. We advise our working friends of all classes to think carefully before voluntarily getting out of employment th:s cummer. James Vies, the noted flower-seed man, die 1 recently at his home in Rochester, N. Y. From his youth up flowers were his passion. He watthe first man in the United States to import flower tcedj from abroad. From final beginnings his business grew to immense pro por; ions a.d 22r.

Browne's reputation is quite abreavt of Mr. Holman's on the line referred to. Browne represents a heavy Republican District, which carries a keg of beer on one shoulder and a quart of water on the other. Whtre

class of drag stores, who do not confine themselves to s strictly drug busines. Repub lican papers can not afford to make any reflections in the direction indicated by the Times. Find us one intemperate Democrat, and we will match him with two drunken Republicans. BEPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS. The third annual report of the Depart ment of Statistics ot the State of Indiana contains a vast amount of valuable informa tion which, unfortunately for the people, is locked up in .a book of more than four hundred pages, and will, therefore, never reach the hands of the great body of the people who are taxed for the support of the Department of Statistics and for the publication of its annual reports. There is no way, therefore, for the people to obtain the information contained in the report unless the press of the State epitomize it for their benefit. The first agricultural tables of the report are devotad to giving the production of the leading crops in the year 1880 by Counties. Totals are as follows:

- Acres. Bushels. Wheat 2.55M6.- 40.W.008 Cora 2.9i6.8iS SI W0.696 v.t. . 6ÜS.076 10.Wl.9VJ Rye a-"0 Birlcy St.911 409.355 Buckwheat 6,115 M.122 Total. 6.U3.175 32,473.3U Irish potatoes- - 72,73" 3,047.726 Sweel potatoes 8.831 119.315 Total - 81.5W 3.167.401

There were 302,011 acres in clover, producing 157,321 bushels of seed, and there were 12.1G3 bushels of blue grass seed produced. There were 10,K4 acres in tobacco, producing 6,752,020 pounds. There were 110,057 acres devoted to flax, with a production of 660,462 bushels of seed and 5,330 tons of lint. One huudred and fifty-two acres of land were planted in hemp, producing 2,001 bushels ot seed and 403 tons of lint. In the way of fruit the statistics are as follows: Apples, bu ..... 6.9"W,6!3 IrVlfs, tU ............. 50,210 lVnohC'8, bu 66'J.3'JS Hiumn, bn H,l'.

According to the Department of Statistics the State maintains 165,335 dogs. There were in 18H0 70,719 stands of bees, asainst 140.327 in 1370. There . were in the State in May, 181, 1.224,065 head of cattle, an increase of 191,957 head as compared with 10. There were 535,251 head of horsas in the State at the same date, showing an in crease of 13,535 heal during the year, and 57,970 head of mules, showing an increase of 3,003 head during the year. There were in May, 1831, 4,104,37d head of hogs and 1,612,865 head of sheep. The number of slaughtered animals for the year ended May, 1S31, is given as follows: ttle l:tt.45 II W .. . ot.1,42I,S75 Sbtep .. 46,720 Total .. , 1.601.5NO We are informed that during the year ended May, 1831, the State produced 6.093,233 gallons of cider. 615,677 gallons of vinegar, 100,773 gallon of wine, 939,000 gallons of sorghum molasses, 220,134 gallons ot maple molasses, 363,876 pounds of maple sugar, 125,815,663 gallons of milk, aad 29.604,467 pounds of butter. There were on hand May, 1831, 011,073 dozens of chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, guineas and, pea fowls. There were consumed, independent of sales to dealers, 17,050,611 dozens of egjjs, and the feathers produced during the year 1335 amounted to 340,631 pounds. We propose to publish the most important information contained in the tables of the report of the Department of 8!.iistici, csnienie.l to suit our columns, as it is valuable and well calculated to interest the general reader. A REMARKABLE MEÄTINQ. A very remarkable Convention met in Greencastle on Riturday. It was remarkable because it was composed of intelligent gentlemen, and being so composed, that it should pass a resolution demanding and insisting upon a measure that has already been settled by the Constitution. The resolution reads as follows: That the people mat be perfectly free to ex press their ceuvlclioiu on this questien. we re suectfa.Ur request the several political parties, at tneir approacuiug uounty uenventions. 10 declare unequivocally tu la vor of submitting the pending constitutional amendments to a vote of the peo ple, una to select caudiiates lor the Legislature pieagea to mo same. Then a Committee was appointed by the meeting "whose duty it shall be to learn definitely of the several Legislative candi dates, what TKisition each will take if elected in regard to submitting the pro posed amendments to a popular vote." The Sentinel has repeatedly published the language of the Constitution on this point. Conventions and resolutions can not affect the question of "submission," simply because the matter is settled by the State Constitution, which provides that' amend ments "mail br' iuhmHtetT' after having been favorably passed upon by two sue cessive Legislatures. If the Geherai As sembly at its next session does not pass the prohibitory Amendment that body Is power less to suomu n to me people. hip stare Constitution stops it nt this point, and the amendment dies. InTiewof this, then, if is almost beyond belief that such intelligent1 gen tlemen aj composed the G reencastle meet ing could franH and pass resolutions of the kind referred to. Not that there is any ob jection to the principle of submitting an amendment to loe people, but because the State Constitution has absolutely settled the q'nstion. A resolution demanding "subnii sion" is quite as effective as one demanding that five and five fcliall make ten. Washington, May 27.

Now let it take a tilt in the other direction. The foregoing dispatch indicates that the Democracy of In-

diana w ill have the United States Treasury

Another shower of new crisp $2 bills may be included with certainty in Yennor's predictions for November. NEWSPAPER POSTAGE. I'ottma ter General Howe, in recommending to Congress the abolition of postage on newspapers and magazines, has takeu a step in the right direction, and has shown himself to be a statesman of broad and enlightened comprehension. We hear much o late about the importance of large appropriations by the Federal Government to aid educational enterprises throughout the country the propriety of which is questioned, but there can be no doubt about the propriety of such action by Congress as will cheapen the CD3ts of newspapers to subscribers, and Mr. Howe in his letter to Congress says that "it may well be doubted if the whole people get as much information of public affairs from the volumes gratuitously thrown at them by the Government as they do from newspapers and magazines which they purchase and pay for. Congress may at the present time safely abrogate all discriminations between subscribers , to newspapers and magazines, and send the same through the mails without charge, whether such subscribes live within the County of publication or out of it." The point i3 well taken, for, except in so far as the newspapers and magazines popularize the volumes gratuitously thrown at the people by the Government, very little of their contents are known. The newspapers and magazines are the great educators of the people, and the postage tax upon them is a tax upon education and information and In favor of ignorance. The Poätoffice Department is not self-sustaining, nor is it required that it should be. In the year 1330 there were 44,512 Postoffie3 against 75 in 1790, an increase .of 44,437. In 1830 there were 314,006 miles of post routes and the revenue of the Department amounted to $36,785,393 and the expenditures were $39,251,736 expenditures in excess of receipts, $2,466,333. We have no means of knowing the amount of revenue derived from postage on newspapers, but however considerable, it was just so much tax upon information which, for the public good. ought to be discontinued. We are satisfied that Postmaster General Howe has acted wisely in recommending the abolition of the newspaper tax, and hope that Congress will not delay action upon his prudent recommendation. It is not unusual to hear complaints wheu a Governor exercises clemency and pardons convict. As a general proposition we think the pardoning power has been pru dently exercised by Indiana Governors. That mistakes are made occasionally we have no doubt, but they are exceptions, and if all the facta were known, we are confident the verdict, in nine cases out of ten, would be that the pardon ought to have been granted. At any rate, the Governor often finds him self in a trying position, requiring the exercise of qualities of head and heart of great importance to society. A case in point recently occurred. A man was convicted of stealing wheat and was sentenced for three years. He served one half the sentence and then an effort was made to obtain a pardon, which Governor Torter granted. As a spec imen of the applications for Executive clemency we are permitted to publish the following letter written by the convict's wife to the Governor: Jonesville, May 6. Pear Governor Wont yon let my husband out of Jail, 'twas bis first offense and he will never do so anymore, lie has served etgnteen months, half the time he has to erve, and as no one lost anything, and 'twas his first otiense aud done through bad Influence, an without a thought of what a sreat wrong be was dotDg. O pieate wont you let him come home ana nein me. I am alone and with a family ot tnree small children, with no homeouly as I find one to work at, and 'tis so hard on account ot the little chil dren. Oh, please let him come and he win never do so any more. He knew not what a great crime he was doing, and he will stay away from such company as got him into the other trouble. 1 he Juoee at Brownstown tola me he wouia writo and for me to write, and that you wonld help me. Please forgive him foi the sake of Him who Is able to forgive even to the uttermost, and I'll pry for you a I do for my husband. My hnnband's name is George Schlecter. and he wss sent from Browoston: Jackson County. Please write to me what you can do. and direct to Sarah Schlecter. Jonesville, Ind. The poor wife presented his case in a way whichk for simple, unadorned pathos, could scarcely be excelled, and in response Governor Torter gave the convict his liberty. He ought to love his wife so well as to keep out of bad company in future, and work for her comfort and happiness. The Administration is rapidly losing caste. It does uot command the confidence or respect of the Republican party or any other party. If it were to ko to the people, as is the custom In En gland. It wonjd not carry a, single State. The decay of its power has been much quicker and mo.e complete than anybody supposed it would be when Arthur was inaugurated. Chicago Tribune. Thus we have it in language not to be misunderstood, that the Republican party i. hopelessly wrecked and why has Arthur power so suddenly decayed? The Tribune goes on to tell, and places first in the list of reasons the improper distribution of spoils. The spoils question is always on top in Re publican affairs. It was spoils that caused the great split in the party when Senator Conkling, followed by "Me too" Piatt, walked out of the Senate iato private life. It was spoils that troubled Guiteau. In fact it is spoils every time. The Tribune says there U revolt in New York, in New Eugland, in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana and still further west. The- Republican, team seems to be running away, and the outlook to the basses and theorgan's is anything but serene. In ah of this there is hope for the country. Tub Columbia City r Post hits the squarely on the head when it says: nail We don't "want a "Legislature" tJ' convene this winter without any knowledge jf the will of the people on the prohibition Issue, and feeling that their constituency,, has beea too cowardly to say what theywanted. We don't want a Legislature to deal with a questloa aflei'tlag the Constitution without haviui tiie question dhtcusscd, and yet the Republican party want to choke down all discussion of the question on their side of the House. Afrell to avow their principles for fear of losing political power! Let us have a full, free fair and dispassionate discussion of the subject. If prohibition Is a good thing, let us not be afraid to say so; it It is a bad thing, let us throttle It in Its Infancy. That is it exactly. The Republican party want to "choke down all discussion," and give out the impiession that the next Leg' islature will have the power to Bubmit the entire matter to the people. This would rid them of all Vouble in handling the ques tion, and let them out of a very ugly

scrape. The Legislature, as we have re peatedly stated, has no power to submit amendments. The Constitution submits them, and then only after two successive Legislatures have pasa-d favorably upon them. We continue to push the point from day to day because the Republican papers of the State, led by the Indianapolis Journal, are in a complete fog of ignorance, or else they are deliberately falsifying the situation.

o e But the opponents of proh!bMon say the matter is before the people now In the selection of members of the Legislature. This is true. Indirectly, but it Is not a sharp, well. defined issue. The above we fiod in the Journal, quoted from a recent editorial of Mr. Murray Briggs, editor of the Sullivan Ueniocrat. Mr. Briggs must certainly know that if the prohibitory matter is not before the people as "a sharp, well defined issue" it is the fault of the Constitution. That instrument submits an amendment to a popular vote only after it has passed two successive Legislatures. The issue need not lack sharpness or dehniteness unless the policy of the Republican leaders to quit talking about it is adopted. The Democracy Invite full aad exhaustive discussion that the people may be thoroughly informed. The Constitution has already settled the question of "submission." Mr. Brigg cays in conclusion: Never let U be said of the Democratic prty of Iudiana that they were afraid to let the people vote on a constitutional amendment. This can never be truthfully said. It is one of a legion of Republican misstatements of the position of the Democratic party, and no matter who it is that is "afraid" or not "afraid" of the popular vote, the State Con stitution has settled the time when an amendment must be passed upon by the people, and to this all good citizens will bow in submission. That time can not come in the matter under consideration until the next Legislature meets and passes favorably upon the amendment 4ft nor cn blind to the fact that the talk anru: biibmitting the amendments to a vote of the people at the next November election is the veriest baMerdi .-'i and rot. Journal. "The balderdash and rot" are just what you are wallowing in. You are endeavoring to make the impiession that no matter if the next Legislature does pass unfavorably upon the amendment, yet it will have the power to submit it to the people, when you know that the Constitution gives it no such right It can only be submitted after the Legis lature has taken a vote upon it and a majority h:i? declared in favor of it. "The balderdash and rot," therefore, lies in the fact that you are trying to make th people believe that the Democratic party is opposed to a submission ot the prohibitory amendment to the people, when you know that the Constitution of the State has put it out of their power to oppose such submission, even if they f:It so disposed. The next best thing to do is to suject tue amendment to a thorough discussion before the people, which you are opposinj, while the democratic party pleads for it, invites it, yea, -in a ii Ii iL Mayor Hakrisox gave the National Liquor Dsalers' Convention good advice in his welcome address wbeo he sal it: "Dju's get Into politics. Go before the cimraun sunse of the people aud you will win. Tell the people that you are golnjj to have jour rights under the flag. Everyman in America has a light to do as he pleases, so long as he doesn't hurt bis neighbors." "Uefore the people" is the place to fight such questions as the one now pending in this and other States, affecting the liquor tariff. They have nothing to do with party politics, aud the effort to inject them into partisan campaigns will meet with rebuke from all fair-minded men. They are not the questions upon which the political parties are divided. Journal. So! Then you think that the prohibitory amendment should not have been forced into politics? Then why did you not so adyiae the last Republican Legislature? Why did that body force the issue upon the people? and now you cry "Shu! shu! Hush! hush! don't let ns talk about it. Let the people go it blind once more, and the amendment can be smuggled through the next Legislature as it was done before." Out upon such hypocrisy. Discuss the question intelligently and fully and let the people know what is goin? on. Men may sneer at temperanca societies, but it can not be doubted that liquor drlakiug and its evils diminish with the growth of tliese societies which put temperance worr in an organized lorm aud concentrate the opposition to lu temperance and shield its victims. Indianapolis Sentinel. And yet the Sentinel as the bead of the Demo cratic party of Indianapolis Indorsed by a unani mous vote mat "we- are unconditionally opposed to any law prohibiting the manufacture and sale of spirituous liquors, and particularly to the pro posed nmendments to the State Constitution in favor of such prohibition." This is true Democracy ! Bioymington Telephone. Yes; true Democracy is in favor of tern-, perance and opposed to prohibition. There i3 just where we stand. "We favor a submission to a vote of the people the Constitutional amendments passed by the last Legislature." From platform of the Clinton County Republicans. That's right The Constitution says that they MM.ff be submitted, in case they arefayorably passed upon by the next Legislature, but in case they are not favorably passed upon the Constitution kills them, and of course our Republican friends do not pro pose to force them illegally forward that would smack of Jacobinism and revolution. The Indianapolis Journal, however, con tinues foggy. Thk Sentinel is prepared to furnish all Books, Blanks, etc., necessary for Township Trustees. Send for circular.
