1HE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL. WEDNEblmf. AUGUST 22, 1883.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22.

JudoiElack is dead. Obituary elsewhere in this i6 ue. The polka-dot shirt is said to be death in disguise, three cases of biood poisoning h itid occurred from wearing them in Cleveland. The Boston Herald remarks that "Tewksbury spread out too thin for a National issue." That's so. It is just about large enough for Massachusetts. Vsrrtt States Bask Examiver Hay says that beyond all question the First National Hank of Indianapolis is now one of the strongest banks In this country. The way to stop "strikes" is to turn the republican party out of power. The Jay Gouli, monopolists and monopolies of all grades are the legitimate products of Republican legislation. LirE gets oft a good one. It says: "President Arthur has discovered that the mouth of a Yellowstone front is like the question of lst. It is open for debate." Good enough. Let us have another. The Tresident got up early yesterday morning. He arose at 6:20 and was off on a tramp. Sunday morning, too. He usually stay in bed until midday when at home in the Whit He use. Alexander U. Stephens' old homestead is in the market. Price, $10,000, and this include? hia large and splendid library. The Georgians are talking about buying it, and turning it into an educational institution. It is rumored that S. W. Dorsey and S. P. Conner are to be reconciled for the purpose of givinjz to the people of Indiana the real facts connected with the rascalities perpetrated by the bosses in Indianapolis in 18 SO. There is said to be luck in horseshoes. Here is an illustration: A man nailed one up on the fence not long since, and a week afterward his wife, who used to wear out the furniture on him, eloped with a friend to whom he was owing $40. "Erected to Outlast the British Monarchy!" is the inscription on the $23,000 granite monument erected in Calvary Cemetery by Daniel Murphy, a New Yorker who thinks he can see far into the future, although physically he is wholly blind. Ml Schcyler Colfax finds fault with President Arthur tor his failure to pardoa Sergeant Mason. Perhaps it is about time for the Sergeant to get home now and see "Betty and the baby." Mason might make up for lost time if he could get a lecture engsment. A .entlem an had occasion recently to sign certain papers in San Francisco. His name was "Usual." This was thought to be a joke by the Kf sister, but the gentleman gave this explanation of how he happened to receive it: His lather waareatly desirous of haying a daughter, but as child after child was born to him he was disappointed. When the seventh child was born his father was compelled to exclaim: "A boy, as usual. I guess he will have to go through life as Usual." Bach has proved to be the case. Thi Boston Herald confesses itself CDnvinced that Dorsey is a liar, but nevertheless it ad vi es those who are implicated in any way with the purchase of Stanley Mathews, to refute the charges, made by Republicans, "by any means within their power." Not one cf the rascals will utter a word except to deny the charge that Jay Gould paid $1C0,()00 for a Bepublican Judge. Dorsey says $'0,000 of the sum came to Indiana, and Mr. W. P. Fishback says Republican high oiticials "bribed election officials to stuff ballot boxes and falsify election returns." The Canard Steamship Company has cantracted with Messrs. John Elder it Co., of Glasgow, Scotland, to build two steamships. The Scientitic American says: "They are to be ves3el3 of S.OuO tons burden, an i are to have engines of 1:1.000 horse-power indicated, their dimensions being 500 feet long by fiftyseven feet breadth of beam, by forty feet in Iepth of hold; and what is perhaps the most striking fact of all is that they are to be guaranteed to steam at the rate of ninteen knots per hour, thus crossing the Atlantic, between Liverpool and New York, in less than six davs." The Denver News suggests a practical way to stamp Mormon rule out of Utah, and that is for the Gentiles to pour i and out number them. "Let tbe preachers," it says, "call upon their nocks to furnish recruits, and if the feeling against polygamy is as deep as its utterance is loud an army of peaceful invaders can be poured into the Territory within a year that will out vote the Mormonsand till all tbe cilices with Christian statesmen." That is the way Kansas was saved from slavery, and the time will come when the tid6 of general immigration will (low into Utah and revolutionize the Territory, and that without the preaching of a Crusade from the pulpit. "BK A GOOD BOY." Hon. Baylees W. Hanna, in his paper, the Crawfordsville Review, refers to the fate of Buck etout, and speaks of a mother's warning and a mother's love so eloquently that we reproduce his words for the benefit of the boys who may read the Sunday Sentinel: Tne last words poke a by Mrs. Stout to herciadtmaed ion were, "Be a good bo This has been a mother's warsUng from time Immemorial, and no doubt It had fallen on the ear of the criminal awaiting the fulfilment of the law's demands, a thousand times before, bat It was unheeded. What a rush of memories he mutt have had, when he heard for the last time on earth, those words, spokaa only as a mother's tongue can speak them; a broken-hearted mother, bidding a last and lon good bye to her wayward boy, standing under the dangling noose, which In a few hours would support bis lifeless body, and transport his sonl to tbe judgment seat. Bis trembling answer, "I will, metier," suit have seemed to the silent guard, tie cry of a lost sc ul, as it echoed through the din corridors, among the bars, and thea died away. Did not the weeping prisoner In the little wbitewatbed cell think over his past life, and mure on the fact that had he heeded the oft repeated advice, coming from the depths of a he t filed with love for Mm, he could hare tot n a usefi.1 and honored citizen, instead of the rou vkt J felon sitting la bis lonely cell, counting

the hours till he should e ushered Into eternity? It was a time for memory and tor tears. The life and death of Joseph W. 8 tout contains a mwal, and Carta? alius wishes his young readers to profit by it Always heed the counsels of a mother. Tbemovherwho nursed you from Infancy, who watched by your cradle when asleep, who built air-castles and dreamed of the time when the Uay babe in ber arms would be a man and support her aged steps, will not Rive her son bad adrlce. The advice she gives may not be couched in elegant language, yet heed it. Mother's ideas and yours may clash, yet adhere to her teachings In all things tending to make you a better man. She is old and has seen the world, has fought the battle, and her advice Is not to be sneered at Follow the teach in cs of the mother and you will not go wrong. A mother never yet told a son to go astiay. Yousg boys who have outgrown mother and disobeyed her injunctions, come bask and kneeling at herleetak forgiveness. Disobedience Is the first step on the road to the gallows. Take warning from the sad but justly deterred fate of Buck Stout, and be careful never to do anything calculated to rend a mother's heart. Quite likely there are mothers who are not in the habit of saying "be a good boy" when their boys go away, and there are many boys who, like Buck Stout, forget the affectionate advice ot mothers. It will be well for them to reflect and reform. Nothing better could be said to them than to be "good boys." Psd boys are multiplying. Reports in that line are well calculated to make parents anxious, and the advice "be a good boy" can not be too frequently given.

TESTIMONIALS OF KESPfiCT TO DB. E. B. HAWN. As a citizen of Indiana the late Dr. E. R. Hawn stood deservedly hfeh. He was a man of recognized ability, was popular with the Republican party, and contributed as much to its success as any man who was on its State ticket in 18S0, when he was elected Secretary of State. Dr. Hawn was a broad-gauged man a Republican of the better sort. True, he went down with bis party in 1S32, when, by the choice of the Republican Convention, he was the head of the State ticket ami a leading representative of his party. He accepted defeat with royal grace and stepped down and out like one who knows how to bow to the inevitable. Still, Dr. Hawn died in cttice. He was Secretary of the State Foard of Health and its executive officer, a position awarded him as a recognition of his high professional attainments. On Tuesday last Dr. Hawn suddenly died. It so happened that the sal event occurred during Eocauipment week, when the city was full of soldiers, old veterans, men with whom he had served in two Wars. He died at a time when His Excellency, Governor Porter, was in the city, when Lieutenant Governor Hanna, ex-Trcas-nrer of State Hill, ex-Auditor of State Wolf, ex-Clerk of the Supreme Court Gordon, Importer of the 8uprenie Court Dice, and exSupeiintendent of Public In traction Bio, were all in the city. They were all here Kben the death of ex Secretary of State Hawn was announced. He had been the:r associate in office, a comrade, and the peer, measuied by any standard, of the best of the crowd, as dearly beloved by tbe Republican party as any of theia, and yet Governor Torter permitted the Republican ex-Secretary of State to die, to be embalmed and to be wheeled from the city with no more effort to honor him than if he had been a dead rag-picker or a Massachusetts Tewksbury pauper, worth so much t? the State as a stiff. Nor, with one exceptionProfessor Bloss, all honor 'to his name did any of his associates in office pay tbe slightest respect to their dead ccmrade. It was in all regards a hearties i desertion, and is commented upon as an instance of the most shameful neglect upon record. Men say, "Why was it that Governor Torter did not call the ex-Sta:e oilicers together and take some sympathetic action in tbe matter?" Echo answers, why ? Governor Porter grows eloquent when he discusses "Indiana in her dawn." God knows it is to be hoped that Indiana in her midnight, if there was ever such a period in her history, made no record so repulsive to manly men as the Republican ex-S'.ate oilicers, with others still in cilice, have made in tbe case of Dr. Hawn. The Governor could have with eminent propriety led off in the matter. He could have called at the residence, where relatives were "sighing like the night winds and fobbing like the rain," and testified by his presence that a chord of sympathy in his nature had been touched. His ex associates in State offices on Id have done the same. They would have Lcnored themselves by such acts of humanity. They would have added new trophies to the archives of human nature, and they would have stood better with the honorable men of their party than they stand to-day. When Governor Torter again appears before an Indiana audience to lecture on "Indiana in Her Pawn," let him explain, if he can, why it was that he did absolutely nothing to honor Indiana nnl . her lfin n. It is possible that Dr. Hawn, before he died, had learned to eppreciate the hollowness of Republican professions of esteem. 'Posiib'.y his bank account was not sufficiently large to secure any recognition of services to his party by tLoe for whose tnccess he toiled when lirirg. Possibly; but it were folly to indulge in surmis.es when haggard facts invite to discussion and afford ample food for reflection. We know that Dr. Hawn was as well known and as highly honored by his party in Indiana as Governor Porter or any of the Republican ex-cfhcials we have named, aDd we feel warranted in saying if death had less loved a shlniDg mark and had sped his arrows at any one of them Dr. Hawn would have been quick to have acted the part cf trne nobility and would have seen to it that they did not go to their graves unbonored and unannsr. THE LIMITATIONS OF FREE THINKING. In the September number ot tbe North American Review we find a paper by Rev. Dr. D. & Phelan, captioned "The Limitations of Free Thinking." The writer is excessively ornate. The article abounds in pretty rhetorical figures and nourishes, and the reader will find it captivating and possibly convincing. We have read of men so cowardly, so low, vulgar and grovelling, that theydared not claim the custodianship of their own souls. Such men belong to the tribe of craven lickspittles, and when foucd it is always on the bottom roucd of the ladder of human degradation. To talk about the lim'tationa of fre thinking is equivalent to an attempt to measure the universe of God with a yardstick. There, are no limitations of freethinking. The realm of the human mind baa no boundaries. Rev. Dr. Pholan has a

happy faculty of contradicting himself. He sets up theories, beautiful from base to ap;x, and then knocks them down, seemingly for the fun of the thing. Referring to (he triumphs of our civilization, he says: We can demonstrate that we have wrought many and great changes In the social and material conditions of the race: and with evry change we can. point to a corresponding improvement We have w-ntercdon a path of discovery that must eventually lead to the recovery of the lost unities of nature. We bare sol red many of the knottiest problems of society: and among our happiest exploits we can boast of having unearthed the long-lost truth, that humanity is one and Indivisible, bound up in unity of origin and Indivisibility ol destiny. We have broadened and deepened the foundations of socltty, aud upon (he bedrock of nature's postulates hare laid the broad bate of the politic il edifice that grand architectural chef d'vuvre of maahood'a maturity, redeeming the infant promise of Babel, and offering shelter and security to all classes and conditions of men; a structure nobly planned; in conception vast: In proportions, majestic, solid and enduring. We bave re adjusted the social relations, abrogating some that were old and creating others new. Our civilization is a reassertion of manhood's original "bill of rights," and the words master and alare are b ard no more. We have made inhumanity a crime, and substituted for deeds of philanthropy the works of social justice, l-ove and mercy remain, but we have given them the nobler and holier names of right and duty. Such have been the triumpbs of free thinking, but there are more battles to be fought and more victories to be won. Rev. Dr. Phelan is mistaken when he says the "words master and slave are heard no more." They are still heard, and, what is worse, they have as terrible significance now as at any period in the world's history. The necessity for free thought is readily established by the fact that errors exist, not only old errors, antiquated, wrinkled, scarred and xnosvgrown, but modern errors, peculiar to the times, multiply, and it ia the high privilege of free thought to bombard them cut of existence or so weaken them as to render them comparatively powerless, and thus it appears from Rev. Dr. Phelaa's point of observation that .whatever has been gained by civilization over savagery, of mind over matter, of thought over instinct, is to be credited to free thinking. Yet, notwithstanding euch conclusions by the writer, he gets on the following: The war whoop of the intellect! .. savages of our time is "Free Thought." Tbla la tbe most laconic paradox ever uttered. By thought we are to understand the assent cf the mind. Now, conviction Kravitates to truth, when demoustntei. just as infallibly as water 6etks Its level or bodies fall to the earth. It is not In the pow?r of the human mind to le dj a truth once its exist jnce N demonstrated. If freedom of thought mean liberty to impugn tae known truth, then to be mentally free we have but to anotac!ze from reason. If by "Free Thought" we are to understand emancipation from system, we are guilty of greater absurdltj ; for to accept a system, aud, at the same time, to deny what follows from It, Is to believe that a thing can be both true and false In the same resist, if every thinker Is bound at the outset of his career to abjure ail systems and theories and generalizations, we shall never get away from the ABC's of knowledge, if we mean thatwemut not be bound to a system of theory until we have proved its tiuth, we may ask what power can shackle the faculties of tbe mind? What Court fan issue, what minion serve, a writ upon reason? What prison bars can contaia an idea But parhaps, we are to understand freedom of thought to mean that man Is not accountable for his though ta. I have shown that thoughts are the mo3t human of human acts; now I will try to prove tiat they are subject to the common laws of human ethic. Here we find a writer revelling in all the glories of free trought, battling against what he regards as error false theories and fake conclusions, and yet he classifies hia own free thinking, his own courage, his own devotion to the truth as the "war hoop" of an 'intellectual savage," and says: The literary savage, too. lores to Inflict pain. The holiest relatians of life, the fondest conceptions of duty, the dearest creations of philanthropic fancy are the objects of bis malignant destructivenets. In common with all savages, he requires a vat territory to roam over. A Freethinker dibbles in theology, philosophy, politic il economy, history, physics in any and every study tat can be reached by a bullet of blatant; negation. lie Is a slave to a master. No savage Indian ever obeyed his chief with half the alacrity that literary braves il-.ow in fallowing their chosen leaders. They are tbe veriest slaves of certain literary dictators. Tbe Sitting Bull of the political tribe is Plne. The Tecum seh cf the theological tribe is Voltaire. The Logan of the scientific tribe Is elective, tbe Leads and feathers being awarded to the latest God-killer. It may be well to remark just here that those who advocate free thougut and object to setting limitations to "frco thinking," do not, therefore, assert that the conclusions arrived at by free thinkers are nec-esarily correct, but free thinking is the royal roid to truth, which can only be found by investigttion. Error loses much of its pow?r and must eventually succumb if the truth is lei', frie to combat it. Tbe article to which wh have re.'erred is readable, and may, to many, prove instructive.

OLD SKIT Lb. Its' MitEriNQS The season is at hand for the reunion of old settlers pioneers of those far away days when Indiana was "in her dawn;" when farms were mpre r'earings; when highways were blazed through the forests; when the palatial residences of "merchant princes" and "landed aristocrats" were log cabins, and the richest men of the border hid to ririe the lands of their neighbors, tbe dor-tain of their I'ncl? Samuel, or go hungry. It may be true that there are thousands within our borders, recognized as old settlers, who found when they came society well org fa i zed and many evidences of culture and advancement, bit it was long before the star of empire had reached tbe zenith and while the romance of pioneer life waj still fresh in the mind of all. It is always in order, therefore, at old settlers' meetings to talk of the by-gone days primitive limes, when, as compared with the present, society was crude; that is to say, fashion was mild in its sway and its votaries few and far between. In those good and grand old days a full suit of butternut jeacs was royal attire for the uncrowned sovereigns, and the ladies of the household were queenly in their "linsey-woolsey" or "two bit" calico, of which eight yards were sufficient, whether the gown was for Church, ball or reception. Then doctors were few aud far between, and as a consequence, from tbe sugar trough cradle to mature manhood and womanhood, physical development was such that human beings came up to tbe highest standards of stature and strength. In matters of religion there was more faith thin fashion, nor did the people dream of the time coruiDg, when a highercivllization would demonstrate a necessity for a change in creeds and forms of worship as argent as a change in public conveyances a change as great as

that which marks the difference between a wheelbarrow and a palace car. The old settlers in their reunions, in these days of telegraphs, railroads.electric light and telephones, when the old has passed away, and the new is everywhere enthroned, love to come together, recount the scenes of their childhood and exchange reminiscences. These old Bettlers' meetings are steadily moving west. After a few years there will be no old settlers' meetings in Indiana. We shall read of them fax away towards the setting sun, as empire States are mapped out of Territories to take their places in the shining constellation of States. Bit after a few generations more the meetings of old settlers, from the Atlantic to the golden shores of the Pacific, will live only in du it-laden tomes and tradition. ' This sesms to be the view the peDpl? have of the matter, and as a consequence when a meeticg of old settlers is announced anywhere in the 8tate the attendance is large. The young come to greet the old, and as the aged pioneer looks upon the vast assemblage thoughts of the far away Jays come thronging through his brain, and none begrudge him the pleasure he feels in remembering that he helped to lay the foundations of the Commonwealth and contribute, however little, to the wealth, prosperity, power, glory and happiness which he beholds. It is to be hoped that the meeting of the old settlers of the State arranged for the 2;tu of September, in this city, will be in all regards a grand affair a success of magnificent proportionsand this we think will bs the result if the railroads of the State are liberal.

Ex-State Sexatob C. H. Reeve has an excellent article in a late issue of the Plymouth Democrat, in which be discusses the telegraphers' strike, and refers to tbe arguments used by Telegraph Companies as "worthy of demagogues and oppressors." The point made by Mr. Reeve is that men having money deem it wise to combine to promote their interests, while it is all wrong for other men representing skill to form Brotherhoods to guard their lights and welfare. Mr. Reeve says: Now here are thousands of operators, their skill and knowledge is their capital, and tbey Invest it In working for the Company. Their interests are Identical, and they form a company to make that capital most available for themselves. They can not act singly and t Recti vely any more than the uockrolders of the Company can. They call their Cotrpaoy a Brotherhood. Ths TeleKisph Ccmpany calls" Itself a corporation. The Krothethood works by its oilicers or Executive or Special Com mittecx, to speak for tbe whole body. The corporation speaks by its oflicer. its "Directed E lecuii re or s,-cclal Committees. Tbe Brotherhood as employes ot the corporation have Irrportant matters of business to transact with that corporation, vi'ally affecting both Associations. Tbe corporation says: ''We will deal with you only through our officers and Comrxlttecs. That Is our modaof dealing; but we w ill hi t allow you to deal with us through your flic is and Committees; you have no right to (tm bice fcr your, own interests aud have Commltttes and cfiicers. We claim that rieht, but we will not allow you to have it." The rights and privileges which the representatives claim for themselves tbey deny to the representatives of skill, and herein lies the worst feature ot the disagreements between employer and employe. Mr. Resve aJs: Has It come to this, that a man with money may combine with other men with money and act thiough appointees: but a man with skill in labor and with knowledge may not combine with others baviDglike skill and knowledge, and act through appointees in business matters, mutually affacting not only both, but all the business relations of the world? What does the Telegraph Com -any say when they take this position, but this: "We have the money, you have none. You can make our money profitable to us: but you must understand that we will not allow you any privileges we exercise, and as you are helpless you musi let us dici ate the price for your i-klll and knowledge and uso it when and as we like. Otherwise we will make your t kill and knowledge uscles to you." Combinations of capitalists to force skill to accept their edicts are everywhere recognized as an outrage and combinations of labor if tbey demand more than their fair share of tbe wealth they create are also in the wrong. But so far labor has been modest in its exactions. It has been content to live. Day wages has built no colossal fortunes, nor erected on the highways of progress it has hewed out palatial residences. It combines against oppression, and fights famine. Jay Gould and men of his ilk, who are now seeking to reduce telegraph operators to the level of serfs, are entitled to no sympathy from the great body or American citizens. Tbey belong to the patent rat-trap aristocracy, and are the enemies of society. Thk ncfnt trial of army orlicjra for m'.fOD fe?fa thievery aud dupli-atiom of pv acouuU roav lead people to suppone that this kiad oi w ickedne exists onlla tne Army, ü regret to y it for ihe honor of tbe service, but there i ret.;n io believe that ouWal mlscjiiiuo;. to i-u It Uilldiy.fxttts in tbe Navy.

Never was there greater need of a c'iaut. American Register. The fort going tells the story of Republicin corruption, rottenness and demo;al:.i'i n, which ougit to make the people consider. Republicanism has corrupted the Army aud tt eNavy: has gone on with its thieving spoils t-jstem nntil it has reduced the ollictrs of tbe Army and the Navy, in numerous Instances, to the level cf vulgar thieves. Such a party ought to go. It is a disgrace to the country, to the civilization of the times. It has a President who was kicked out of oftics by such burlet ques of humanity as R. B. Haye3 and John Sherman one a Presidential frand and the other who has grown to be a millionaire on $5,000 a year. The Republican party's most illustrious representatives are 8. W. Doney, Jay Hubbell, Uowgate. and possibly the man who created the pus cavity through which Arthur crawled into power. The contemplation of such a party is simply terrible. Spiritualists and non-spiritualists, what think you of this? A Pittsfield (Mass.) corret pendent of the Boston Journal says: "Do you know that the Shakers are above all others piritualisUT They bave had tbe most blazl'g lights in that belief work their manifestations at New Lebanon, and have seen and sainted de-e-Hfed old Shakers from Ann Lee to the last.

He settled in 1810, when but a lad. In that part of Euclid Township which afterward became Lat Cleveland Townthip, and tor seventy-three years has lived on the same farm. He was full of anecdotes of early pioneer life, and loved espcially to tell of hearing Commodore Perry 'a guns on that plcarant September day in 1S13. on Like Erie, neaily seventy miles away. His favorite story of his own achievements was to tbe effect that one day when he was scouring the woods, gun in hand, he heard a iustlins in the thick underbrush near him, and fired both barrels of bis gun without seeing the object at which he shot, and oa parting tbe lntetvening vines and branches found two deer lying Vad as the result of his shot.

He snd Charles Kraccis Adams, Jr., went there together in a y acht. In comparison with former seasons, Saratoga is very dull and quiet. There seems no disposition for gayety, and the hotel people sit around all day as if they had received an invitation to a funeral. Chi ai.o people are not asking for some summer re ort where it ls cool. They want to know some spot where they can get heated up without three blankets and an overcoat. It may or may not be a significant fact that the most elegantly and elaborately dressed ladles at the summer reaorta this year are Jewesses. Their diamonds alone represent about '.M0 National Banks. , Boston ladies at the Isle of Shoals have classes for reading history.

Elock Island has won so secure a place In the affections of the summer pilgrim thst nothing sboitof an Iscbian visitation, one Ls sure, can seriously affect its future. Notwithstanding the exceptionallyfcool summer, the hotels and numerous boarding houses are well filled, while visitors have left the place for lack of desired accommodation. The Island is most popular with that increasing class of far Inland visitors whose only acquaintance with the ocetn is gslne 1 durinr the weeks of their summer vacation. Coming from the shadow of the Rocky Mountaina or the Blue Ridge, one naturally seeks the ocean rather than the Hills. Hence many Southern and Western visitors are at Itlock Island, although New Yora. New Haven, Hartford and Providence are well represented.
