THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 10. iWi.

WEDNESDAY, SEITEMBER 10.

OFFICE: 71 and 73 West Market Street. Eeccetaey Foloer is dead. IIoecoe Cosklixu will not TOte lor Blaine. The crjrans over the way h?e dropped Maria for a day or two. f The Republican organs seem to rejoice with, eiceeding great joy that the Democrats failed to get away with Vermont. Ex-Senator CosKLixGsajs: "If Clevelan-3 vas a good enough man for Mr. Blaine's friends to make Governor of New York, parhaps some Kepublicans may think he is a good man to make President." The Democratic and Independent Committees will do well to deal oat fresher ammunition than the Mulligan letters. Bo3ton Herald. "Well, how will Mrs. Morrill's letter do? It reads very "fresh" for 80 late in the canvass. As ocr esteemed contemporary, the Indianapolis Independent, remarks, "Oh, no. It is not the "Widow Halpin. It is the "Widow Duncan, formerly Tostmistress of Westville, Laporte County, who h&n the floor. Mr. Calkins, the lady U speatia to you." Mn. Blaise's personal intimacies have been few, limited so far as known to Fisher and Mulligan, but there is abaadnt evidence from the Machiavellian machinations that he is one of a silent political partnership, the other member being his Satanic majesty. The best thing the Republican Committee can do would be to take Calkins off the ticket. In the light of his utterances Saturday night his election would be a disgrace to the State. We begin to think that Eugene Bandy runs more machinery with his little boier than Calkins does. Coveksor Wailer will make the race again for the Governorship of Connecticut. He says: "The action of the convention today was neither anticipated nor desired, but there is in my opinion only one thing I can in honor do I must obey the command of my party and accept the nomination." Ts" Republican scandal mongers are dry Ing up their tirade of lies concerning the personal character of Governor Cleveland. It has required but a very brief reference to the Tulnerable character of James G. Blaine to bring them to a proper realization of the actual situation on that score, and to com' mend to them the wisdom of the policy to stop short, lie down and squeel "enough. It is beginning to be very generally understood by the Republican party that candidate Calkins is about the thinnest specimen of humanity that ever wanted to be Governor of Indiana. Gentlemen, he won't do. Hettands defeated to-day 1", 000 votes. It may run a few hundred over. The exact number can not be determined until the votes are counted. The colored brother is certainly deserving of something handsome at the hands of his white brother Republican. On Saturday night at least one-half of the procession wa3 composed of colored men, and they marched, teile J. and sweated for what? Simply to swell an ovation to a man by the name of Calkins, who in coarse language declared, in voting against the claims of two colored men to seats In Congress, that " was opposed to seating niggers a iiihuir." Now, colored men, do you propose to vote for Mr. Calkins for you neit Governor? Gold L3 a coy maid. A Kansas City special of September 3 says that a most extraordinary reaction has set in in the West in Cleveland's favor within the past week. la a club room in this city yesterday a bet o j 51,000 even was offered that Cleveland wil be the next President. Another bet was ?150 that Cleveland will carry New York, and a similar amount that he will be successful in Indiana. Until that day betting had all been the other way, the confidence in Democratic success which has sprung up within the past day or two beins presumably due to the Irish meeting in New York and the belief that Tammany is about to swing into line. Four thousand dollars in all was wagered on Cleveland's election. Major Edwards, editor of the St. Jo3eph, Mo., Gazette, does not agree with the Louisville Courier-Journal, which demands that the Democratic party shall publicly disclaim sympathy with the Sentinel in its tussle with the Plumed Knight. Here is a sentiment from Major Edwards' pen: 'The time has come to carry the war into Africa. Mr. Elaine's lioel suit is simply another sun stroke on paper. Suffering long, and enduring much, and putting ort' the hateful work until, if it did not begin to .fumigate it would have to perish of the cholera, the Democratic party has at last begun to stir. If it don't stand by the Indianapolis Sentinel it is a foresworn thing, forfeited on lolly-pop, and unfit to take a dung-fork in its nervelm hands and right those devils of blackguards who first begun this campaign with daDg forks. There may come a time in this contest yet when even cannibalism worse than the cannibalism of the Greely expedition will become glorified." "PUT IT IN BLACK TYPE." Secretary Michener, hello! hello! When you make up your next budget for your rural editorial friends, and especially that part of it which calls for the heaviest black type, do not forget that recent letter of the Widow Morrill, the honored relict of a dis tinguished ex-Senator of the United States, and who was at one time Secretary of the Treasury. She thanks God that Mr. Morrill died before the nomination of "so wicked and corrvpt avian as 1 know and vty hatband knew James G. Blaine to le." Mr. Michener, it will bear very heavy black type. FACE THE MUSIC. The Sentinel's counsel in the Blaine libel suit, on Saturday, filed a written motion to compel the plaintiff to answer the interroga tories filed with the pleadings of the defend ant in the cause. We are very much surprised utterly as tounded that auch a motion should have become necessary in the case. We sincerely thought that a plain tiff who had been so swift

in his assertion of the sanctity of home and

the honor of womanhood, would have voluntarily entered his appearance to such interrogatories, and would have, without waitinz for a rule, willingly and readily consented to

answer within the briefest possible time necessary for communication between Indianapolis and Augusta. It seems the plaint iff is seeking to avail himself of technicalities with which he charged the defendant a few days ago. Judge Woods, the counsel for the plaintiff being present, said he wo jli hear argument on the motion to compell the plaintiff to answer the interrogatories as soon as he returned from Fort Wayne, which would be some day this week. WILL MR. BLAINE EXPLAINE? Bar Habbou, Aug. 14, 1331. Colonel W. R. Hoiloway: I have this moment received the atrocious libel of the Indianapolis Sentinel. It is vtt'fhiaad abominably false in every statement and every impliertion. Political slanders I do not stop to notice, but this editor assails tne honor of bit wife and my children. I desire you, without an hour's delay, to employ a proper attorney ana nave tne responsible publisher of the Sentinel sued for libel in the United States District Court of Indiana. It is my only remedy. I am sure that honorable Democrats, alike with honorable Republicans, will justifiy me iii defending the honor of my family if need be uith vvj life. (Signed) James G. Blaine. "It was not supposed that Mr. Blaine would leave Maine during the canvass, but a journey through the country in defense of my wife and children will not De a trip tor rhieh Mr. Blaine need ask the permission either of propriety or custom. The sympathy of the country will go with him." Lewiston Journal. "It was while Blaine was a professor at Bine Lick Springs that be met Miss Harriet Stanwood, of Augusta, Me. She was living with her sister, and was a teacher at Miss Thornton's Female Seminary. Miss Stanwood was a descendant from the old runtan stock in a direct line from the Stanwood family of Ipswich, Mass , and ia March, 1351, became his v ife at J'ittsbvrg, I'a." Life and Services of James G. Blaine, by Russell H. Conwell; With an Introduction by His Excellency Frederick Robie, Governor of Maine. Published by E. C. Allen & Co., Augusta, Me. i'age sixty-eight. The publishers of the work in sending it forth to the public say of it, that it has the impress of the broadest information and the most careful attention on every page. That it is the biography that secured the inesti mable benefit of the advice, cooperation and assistance of Mr. Blaine, his relatives and friends. This is the volume that is recommended by the family and private secretary of the distinguished candidate. The New York Tribüne of Saturday, August 23, 1S31, says: ''In the cemetery at Augusta has stood for nearly thirty years a little white stone erected to the memory of Mr. Blaine's son, Stanwood Blaine. That grave has been secretly visited, the last figure in the record of the child's birth has been chiselled feway and defaced and the dateJnnelS, lSöl, has been made to read June 13, 13-." Here is a record of facts from the highest Republican authority, for stating which the Sentinel has been sued, and $.:0,u00 de manded. The exhibit has been denounced by Mr. Blaine as utterly and abominably false in every statement and in every Implication, and here now we have the statement of the eame facta in Conwell's "Campaign Life of Mr. Blaine," published vnder his very rye at his heme in Augusta, ami, as the pbh'-t.er states, uns trpcrrised by Mr. JUaine him s'lf, and in a leading editorial of the New York Tribune, Mr. Blaine's metropolitan campaign organ. Put the statements of these two prominent near friends of Mr. Blaine together and the truthfulness of the Sentinel is completely vindicated marriage in March, 1331, and birth of son June IS, 1851. What will be the outcome of the Kentucky part of the aßair can readily be an ticipated after reading a letter from thatend of the line in another column. We respectfully commend this record to the prayerful attention of the few reverends and all others who have commended Mr. Blaine to the public as a pure man, the champion of chastity, the defender of the virtue of homes. MAJOR CALKINS. In swinging around the ci rele Maj or Calkins touched Indianapolis Saturday night, and, of course, made a speech. In fact, his coming had been liberally advertised, and nothing was left undone that would in any way create enthusiasm and bring out the people. But as the local department viewed the landscape o'er from several points of observation, we respect fully refer our readers to its account of the procession and the other demonstrations in honor of Mrs. Duncan's persecutor. It will be found to be a clear, graphic and truthful report of an outpouring of a peo ple who did not outpour as liberally as was calculated upon, It was, however, a very respectable appearing and well behaved gathering, the sprinkle of Democrats there mixed in giving the affair tone and standing. As a dramatic effort Maior Calkins' speech was a success, but in ail els9 it was the worst kind of rhetorical rubbish. He submitted no proposition pertaininz to the science of government, nor argued none. He made broad assertions, but furnished no proof to substantiate them. He gave credit to the Republican party for the natural increase in individual and national wealth in the past quarter of a century, and claimed it as the source of every good and perfect gift that the people enjoy. The civ ilization of the age in which wa live, and almost the credit of establishing the Christian religion upon the earth, were also put down bv this great and good man as having been bora of the party to which he belongs, and but for it and himself the people of In diana must now be in a state of semi-barbar ism. It is amazing that a man of such feeble temper, and one who has drank only shallow draughts from the spring of political economy and historical events, should so get the start of better men In his party. and bear the palm alone. Yet he has done it, and to-day he stands upon the high pinacle of party leadership and commands his followers to go to battle under his flag. How true are the lines: "Man, vain man, dressed in a little brief authority, plays euch fantastic tricks before high Heaven as make the angels weep." It is evident that Major Calkins reads nothing, hears nothing, learns nothing, knows nothing of the theory of this or any other Government. He is in short the most superficial individual in those things which go to make statesmen that ever demanded political preferment at the hands of any party. A fanny story well told is, in

his estimation, unanswerable argument, ani

the applause over a bit of clownish acting indorsement of his political record and pledges of further support. The intelligence of this State demands something higher than that, Major Calkins. You may amuse the people, but you do not convince them that you should be elevated to the highest office within their gift, neither do you im press them that your range of thought goes much beyond the relni of comedy and the ludicrous. The Major is very fond of liking toe Dem ocratic party to the children of Israel in their wanderings in the wiiuerness, and he is especially fond of telling his hearers how the Democracy have been wandering for twenty-four years, and how they have sixteen mors years of weary wandering in the wilderness before the alloted forty years i3 ended. It is a most happy illus tration, comparing the Democracy to the children of Israel, and we desire to thank the Major for it, and we also desire to remind him that the wanderers were the Lord's own chosen people ; that He chose them out of all the people of the earth, because they could be relied upon in a far greater degree than any other party or sect, and that, although He felt obliged to chastise them for their sins of omission and commission, He ever held them in the hol low of His hand and never abandoned them for even the fractional part of a moment. We also desire to call the Major's attention to the historical fact that although the Lord permitted the Canaanites to occupy the Promised Land longer than was first intended, that He might discipline his beloved chosen children. His contempt and hatred for the inhabitants cf Canaan and their thieving propensities, their protective tariff laws, which gave a few wool and grape raisers an iron-clad monopoly of those branches of the industry of the country, their vile, dishonest, and rascally political methods which kept the party in power the masters of the people and the people's Interests in opposition to and in violation ol every principle oCright; that His contempt and hatred for the Canaanitish Republican party, we say, never abated or cooled off in the slightest degree in all the years He wai leading His beloved Democrats slowly but surely toward the Promised Land. We also desire to say to the Major that the head of the column of the chosen people, namely, the Democracy, has reached the Jordan, and the passage of the river has begun, and on the 4th day of November next both Jericho and Ai will fall, and on the 4th day of March next the wanlerers will take full possession of the whole land, even that which was promised to their fathers, and the Canaanitish Republicans will be driven out to return no more forever. Major, search the Scriptures, then turn and see the handwriting on the wall. PLUMED KNOW-NOTHINGS. It has come to light that if you scratch the backs of some of the "Plumed Knights" of the country you will find Know-Nothings beneath. This is true concerning the boss Plumed Knight undoubtedly. Blaine is an old Know-Nothing, and s j are many of his followers. Quite a revelation in this line has been made recently at Elmira, X. Y. The expose has been made by the Gazette ef that city. It says that from careful investigation by its reporters it has ascertained that th order is simply a revival of the old KnowNothings, but that many even of the Flumed Knights themselves do not know this, as the body is composed of two degrees or circles, an inner and an outer circle. The outer circle is a mere political club, to which foreigners are admitted, and is kept up mainly as & blind to hide the real object of the order. The inner circle is composed entirely of Americans who favor Know-Nothingism. The oath administered to candidates of the outer circle merely pledges those who take it to vote and work for Blaine and L gan. The oath of initiation to the inner circle is materially different and is an abbreviated form of the old Know-Xothing oath. It is as follows : "You, of your own free will and accord, in presence of these witinesses, do solemnly promise and swear that you will not make known to any person any of the signs, mysteries, secrets or members of this order: that you will support James G. Blaine, of Maine, for President of the United States, and John A. Logan, of Illinois, for Vice President of the United States, in the coming contest and election, and that you will use every means to have them elected, no matter to what end you may be compelled to resort, and that you will use every endeavor to perpetuate the power ol the grand old Republican party, and that you will not vote for any man for any ottico unless he be an American-bom citizen in favor of American-born citizens ruling America. Do you solemnly swear?" DOXEY. Hetrodoxy has been defined as "not our doxy." This Doxey that we are going to talk about is not our Doxey either that is, he is not a Democrat. We are pleased to state that he is a Republican full blooded and one of the leading members of that church sitting in the amen corner and apparently the "slickest" and mo3t devout lamb in the fold. Doxey is a daisy. It is meet that he should be running on the sama ticket with Calkins, Blaine, Bruce Carr and Engene Eundy. He would trot well in double harness with any one of them. Doxey is running for Congress in the Ninth District. His opponent, Judge Ward, is so immeasurably his superior that they should net be named together during the same hour. This district contains a splendid population, and the Republican portion of it is first-class in every respect. Their leaders, however, are terrors. They inflicted Doxey on the ticket. The better class "kicked." Poor Lingle one of the best men in the State a week ago a personal and valued friend of the writer laid away yesterday in his grave until the resurrection morn what had he to say of Doxey and the clique which forced him to the front? Mr. Lingle said a few weeks ago: "Mr. Doxey and his friends exaggerate their importance exceedingly, much so. if they think we lie awake of nights to take counsel of our revenge. When in a low-down conspiracy, while our son lay dying, they sought not only to remove us from office, but to degrade and dishonor, we had been more than human to have felt no resentment, but content with their humiliation and our simple vindication, we put all this behind us. When months ago we were reliably informed that Doxey, in violation of his word of honor to Senator

Graham, Hon. Joe Gray and others, had de

termined to run a second time, and to this end had called a meeting at Indianapolis, and then and there bought the nomination for a price (naming the sum he would place in each county), we felt like entering a pro test against the whole thing as unclean. But absorbed in the busy activities of a busy life, and broken down in spirit by an unspeakable sorrow, we had no inclination even for protesting against this great wrong, and but little courage to lead a forlorn hope against a set up job." A Republican has this to say of Doxey: And v 7 is this man? What great service has he rendered that the succesi of the party should be placed in peril by his nomination? We know him through and through. 'He deceived us before. Is thy servant a dj that he should do this thing?' As a s Adier we honor him, but he is not a greater soldier than Grant, and Grant, be it said, would not be at all times the most available candidate on his war record alone. Our best soldiers here are not for Doxey.", Another Republican writing from Ander son says: "We must fight the barrel now not Doxey, but the barrel. Mr. Metcalf, our editor and Postmaster, did not support Doxey before. He will not support him now. The best men in our county are against him. The Republican managers of our little machine were weak enough to give him a nom ination in this county, where as a general thing we have had to resort to a draft to get anybody to run, and he bought a victory with big money, but the Democrats have dropped on his little game, and we hope he will never get a majority again. There will be no more vest-pocket tickets. He can not be elected. He voted for Myers, the Demo cratic Secretary of State, when at the same time ho was Chairman of the Republican County Central Committee. Colonel Milt Robinson will verify this charge." An old Republican farmer of Tippecanoe County says: "I will never vote for Doxey. 1 have never scratched a ticket; I don't want to, but I 'went back' on my note of hand once, and am liable to do it again if a swin dler gets it I y fraud on the wind-pump dodge, as he did in this case. I thought I W83 signing a contract, and found it was a note. This primary election of ours, and all the job, was the Eame kind of a swindle." The Noblesvllle Republican-Ledger, published in Hamilton County, says: "Indeed, we did not then believe that there existed any serious intention to nominate Mr. Dox ey again, while it is so well known that his bucket-shop methods, when brought into politics, evoke the earnest opposition and condemnation of the honest masses of the people Democrats a3 well as Republicans. But recent developments in Tippecinoa County and elsewhere in the district, oa the part of Mr. Doxey and his hired agents, make it necessary to speak forcibly, it seems. Let it be remsmbered that whea Mr, Doxey was foisted upon the party in the special election, by a majority of only a committee of Bix . men, (and while he was wholly unknown in our district poll tics), it was openly charged and never denied, because it was true, that he obtained, the place by the corrupt use of his bucket-shop br'l. Let it be remembered that that nom ination, under the circumstances, fell like a black pall upon the Republicans of this country so much so that honest men looked each other in the face in grim silence, as to say, 'Has it come to this? Is there no longer honor in men?' " We are indebted to our esteemed friends of the Tipton Times for much of this data We trust that the Republicans of the Ninth District may read and ponder over it. Doxey's election would be a disgrace to the State of Indiana. Let decent Republicans vote for Judge Ward. He is a gentleman of ability and culture, with a clean record. At all events "scratch" Doxey. Let it be such a "scratch" as he will remember all the days of his life. TARIFF TAXATION. One of the most interesting signs of the times is that the people have concluded that they will no longer be swindled by a tariff made in the interest of monopolists. The people of the United States are willing to be honestly and justly taxed for the support of the Government, but they are not willing to be taxed for the further enrichment of mo nopolists, and protectionists begin to com prehend the fact, and will put forth their mightiest energies to retain their hold upon the hard earnings of the people. Money will flow like water. At the recent Tariff Con vention in New York, a monopolist by the name of Ricketson became so overwhelmed with the protection idea it foreshadowed such princely fortunes to the favored few, such boundless luxuries and palatial resi dences, purple and fine linen, ctiamoads and delights that he broke forth as follows: From Uampsnire's lev mountains, 1 rem Florida's coral s rand, Jo wr.oe the Kocky ran. es Roll adown their sand. Protection! O, protestlon! The joyful ouii't proclaim Till each remotest Jtin lias learned the tariff's name. But, says the Buffalo Express (Rep.), the people do net worship protection a3 an ever lasting principle. They .do not regard it as a fetich. Reasonable men will cot assemble merely to hear it preached and its praises sung, and they will have very little respect for those who do. It is a purely business question, and should not be treated in rhyming verses, but in the light of facts and tig ureB. When a duty is placed on any important article it should be placed there be cause the prosperity of the country will be increased by it, and it should be no higher and no lower than all the facts in the case warrant. It is a question for economists,not for politicians and song-makers. It is well said that the people de not worship protec tion, and a tariff framed like the present for spoils will not be tolerated. In the State of Indiana the estimate is that there are now 500,000 houses. The further estimate is that the annual increase of houses is equal to 5 per cent, of the entire number, and that the wear and tear of houses is equal to 5 per cent, a year. Leaving out of the calculation the estimate of rebuilding worn out houses, and assuming that the entire number of houses built each year is equivalent to 5 per cent, of the 500,000 houses already built, we have the fact that 25,000 houses have been erected in Indiana during the past year. It will be conceded by all that it is important to the property of Indiana that houses, the homes of our people, should be taxe.t as lightly as possible. The cost of a housa is taken into consideration when the price of rent Is under consideration, and hence, every renter in the State has a direct interest

ia the cost of building houses the mechanic, the day laborer in fact all who pay rent

With this statement of the case we proceed to consider the tariff taxed articles that enter into the construction of the houses of Indi ana, i or each of the 2-j.OOO houses annually erected, the average cost of glass will be not less than $40, upon which the tax is 53 per cent. The average cost for locks, bolts, binges, sash-locks, eash-weights and nails will be $15. These articles are taxed per cent The cost of white lead and paints will average per home $20. Tnese are taxed 51 per cent. And the tin required for each house will average $15, and this is taxed 21 percent. And the average cost cf galvanized iron per house is estimated at 10, which is taxed 35 per cent. To enable our readers to comprehend the amount of tariff tax pail annually by the people cf Indiana on the houses erected, we introduce the following tabulated recapitulation: a "a era c ARTICLES. H s ... I........... Wim Locks, bolts, hinges, ashlocks, sash-weights and White lead and paints......... Tin........ ... Galvanized iron - 10 001 W t 23 20 4 00 20 00 15 03 10 DO; l r 75 10 80 3 60 3 50 hi 2 S5 IS 130 CO, Total tax per house . .. SjS 85 Here we have for articles which cost 130 a tariff tax of $56.SG; a tar which, when laid upon the 25,000 houses annually built in the State of Indiana amounts to the sum of $1,421,250 a year. In these estimates we have studiously kept largely within the limit of fact indeed we have omitted such articles as mantles and chandeliers as also all reference to repairs and rebuilding. We have also omitted the expenditure annually for plate-glass, which reaches in Indiana about $500,000 a year, upon which the tax ranges from C3 to 111 per cent Were these items included, the annual tariff tax paid by the people of Indiana in the one item of building houses would come well up to $2,0C0,0C0. Protectionists and monopolists are In favor of perpetuating this enormous burden of taxation, which goes to enrich the few. The demand is that this burden shall be reduced; that the tax col lected shall go into the Treasury, and not into the pockets of monopolists. Tne people cf Indiana are becoming earnest in their protests. Those who want protection will be required to come out baldly with their scheme. They will be required to state the character of the monopoly they propose to protect. Glittering generalities won't do; quoting from ancient history won't answer the demand. The Constitution provides for a tariff for revenue, not for protection, and the time has come for facts; fiction has hai its day. BISHOP PIERCE. This distinguished prelate cf the Methodist Church died Monday last at his home in Sparta, Ga. The deceased had been ill for sometime, but last Tuesday his physicians pave up all hope of his recovery. Bishop Pierce was the son of the late Rev. Dr. Lovick Tierce the Nestor of Methodism in Georgia, who died at the ripe age of ninetysix, about three years ago and was born in Green County, Georgia, February 3, 1811. At a very early age he gave evidences of unusual strength and sprightliness of mind. He was graduated at the age of eighteen years from Franklin College, and after a short course of law study entered the Georgia Conference of the Methodist Church, fourteen years before the division of that body. He was the first President of the Georgia Wesleyan Female College, at Macon, the first female college established in this country, and occupied that position until ISIS, when he accepted the Presidency of Emory College. In 1S31 he was elected Bishop, with the late Bishops Early and Eavanaugh, of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Bishop Pierce was noted for gentleness of spirit, combined with great manliness. He was very companionable, and took great delight in the society of the young, one of his closest friends being Rev. Dr. Haygood, who was twenty years his junior. Ingenuous and frank, he detested shams of all kinds. As a pulpit orator he was perhaps unsurpassed. As a Bishop, he was wise in counsel, prompt in action, conservative, yet firm, in his teachings, and unswerving in his devotion to the church, in whose service he battled long and manfully. Bishop Pierce was a man of superb physique, and was gifted with a deep, mellow voice. He preached invariably without notes, lie was a very ardent Southerner, and his exceeding love for the people among whom he had been bora and reared was a part of his very life. His name is a household word among all classes and denominations in Georgia, and thousands of her people to day are mournin? their great loss. It will be remembered that the fiftieth anniversary of Bishop Tierce's marriage was celebrated last winter an occasion which called forth congratulations and expressions of kindness from friends throughout the entire country. The deceased leaves a devoted wife, several children, and a large number of grandchildren to mourn his death. We are indebted to the Times Democrat for the foregoing information regarding this distinguished Bishop. A Savannah (Ga.) special'says that just before his death he requested all to leave the room except his wife and son, and after the request had been complied with arranged all his temporal affairs. Asking for his pencil and spectacles, his last words were: "Rest, happiness and peace for evermore." He had said a few minutes previously: "Brethren, we might have a glorious love feast here this morning, but my strength is almost spent, and if I don't talk as much as you think I ought, don't think my Heavenly Father is angry with me, for He is not Everything is perfectly clear and bright." He died with an expression of glory and triumph. Mr. Cleveland On American Citizenship, f New York Heraid.1 Mr. Cleveland's recorded sentiments on the rights of American citizens in foreign lands, and the duty of the Government to protect those rights, present a striking contrast to the indifference and neglect shown by Mr. Blaine when Secretary of State. The more Blaine's record is probed the more discreditable and inexcusable it is found to be. The British Coercion act was the most despotic legislation in its bearing upon citizens of the United States that has been adopted by any foreign government in recent years. It clothed one British officer

with autocratic power over the liberty of very American citizen who might happen to be sojourning or traveling in Ireland. Thisirbitrary law was repugnant to the American theory of personal liberty. It was hostile to the express provision of the National Constitution which guarantees every accused iereon "the riht to a speedy and a public trial" and "to be informed of the nature and cause cf the accusation." Neither our Constitution nor our statutes shield frcm punishment a citizen who has violated the laws of a foreign ration. Bat the principles embodied in the Constitution, the theory of our institutions and the doctrines of international law give to this country the right to demand that an American citizen arrested in a foreign land j-hall promptly be informed of the charges against him and Er.ee dily tried. The ("oercion act went into force March 2, 1881. Three days afterward James G. Blaine became Secretary of State. Had he been imbued with the true American spirit, had he been duly mindful of the rights of American citizens had be observed the law which he was s wem to obey, his first orhcial act would have been a protest cabled to London warnirg the British Government in advance against the arbitrary arrest of American citizens and. their protracted imprisonment without trial; and when the first citizen of the United States was arrested on suspicion he would have demanded of ine British Gov

ernment a speedy trial of the accusad. Yet three months after the Coercion act had gone into operation Blaine coolly contessed that he had not read the law, and during the time he had charge of the foreign affairs of the Nation naturalized citizens of Irish birth were arbitrarily arrested on mere suspicion and cast into British jails for long terms of imprisonment by the dictum of one man, while Blaine continuel his shameful policy of inactivity, indifference and neglect. What would Mr. Cleveland have done had he then been Tresident or in Blaine's place? What would he do under like circumstances in the future? Fortunately we are not left to guess. Mr. Cleveland has defined his position on this important question of American citizenship. At a mass meeting called at Buffalo when he was Mayor of that city to protest against the policy of indifference to the rights of our naturalized citizens imprisoned in Ireland, Mr. Cleveland, who was chosen to preside over the meeting, made one of the most admirable and statesmanlike speeches to be found anywhere on this subject. No higher estimate than has been put upon the true meaning and value of Americau citizenship and the sacred obligation of the Nation to protect citizen, native born or naturalized, at home or abroad. We invite, he said, the people of foreign lands to become our citi.zene, and what should be given them ia return? "Manifestly, good faith and every dictate of honor demand that we eive them the tame liberty and protection here and elsewhere which we vouchsafe to our native-born citizens." The following excellent passage is well worthy of repetition here: "In all lands where the semblance of liberty is preserved the ritrbtof a person arrested to a speedy accusation and trial 1. or ought to be, a fundamental law, as it ij a rule of civilization. "At any rate, we bold it to be eo, and this is one of the rights which we undertaken guarantee to any native-born or naturalize 1 citizen of ours, whether he ba imprisoned by order of the Czar of Russia or under the pretext of a law administered for the benent Of the landed aristocracy of Kngland. "We do not claim to ruake ljw; or cotmlries, büt we do insist that whatever those laws may be they shall, in the interest of human freedom and the rights of mankind so far as tbey involve the liberty of oar citizens, be speedily administered. We have a right to say and do say, that mere suspicion, without examination or trial, is not sufficient to justify the long imprisonment of a citizen of America. Other nations may permit their citizens to be thus imprisoneX Ours will not. And thi3. in edect, has been solemnlyjdeclared by statute." Unlike Blaine, Governor Cleveland is a man whosays just what he means and means jnst what he says. Asa public officer he has always lived up to the sentime nts he has publicly avowed and performed the promises he has made. The principles of citizenship which he has declared would govern his policy as Chief Magistrate of the Nation; his manly assertion of the rights of our naturalized citizens abroad, would put to shame Blaine's cold indifference and neglect.

It is not a "cure-all," bat invaluable for sore throat, bronchitis, asthina, catarrh, consumption, and all diseases of the pulmonary and other organs, caused by scrofula or "bad bloed."

DYSPEPSIA Causes its victims to be miserable, hopeless, confused, and depressed in mind, very irritable, languid, and drowsy. It is a disease which does not get well of itself. It requires careful, persistent attention, and a remedy to throw off the causes and tone up the digestive organs till they perform their duties willingly.
