Dynamiters may threaten her nary, bat for our cwu we baye no fear. The average income of the farmer per capita is quite low, beicg only about ?IG0 in the exclusively agricultural States. Tue Philadelphia Record is led ta remark that Mr. Cleveland Is like the mediums; he insists on doing the cabinet trick ia the dark. It is observed that Mr. Arthur continues to appoint Republicans to office and nary a Democrat. One of these days the tables will be turned. One of the reforms that will be introduced under Cleveland's administration will be that what have been known as "shortages," "discrepancies" and "irregularities" will become plain stealing and will be treated acCO disgly. Grover Cli-yilasd is the child of destiny. All information, say a an esteemed exchange, points to the conclusion that just about the time of his inauguration, along with the brightened political dawn, the sun of commercial prosperity will again bless the land. ErsMARcK proposes to put a tariff on wheat and corn. One by one the cords are being fastened around the- American farmer's for eign market for his grain. Germany says if you prohibit cur manufactured articles we will tax out your grain. The Journal is late "catching on" to an old bloody shirt rumor that the Democrats of Mississippi will send Jeff Davis to the United States Senate. The other organs of the combination wore the rumor thread hare during the early weeks of December. Let us have Bomethinz fresh. More than half of the druggists in New York City, it has b?ea discovered, hive been Eelling adulterated quinine, and several arrests are impending. It must be a difficult thing for physicians to successfully treat patients when druggists fill prescriptions with medicines different from those ordered. The result of the elfctions in the General Assembly was to make Miss Lizzie Callis State Librarian, George Majors Director of 8tate Prison North, Jclm Horn Director of State Prison South, B. II. Burrell, Trustee of Insane Hospital ; J. B. Green, Trustee of Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, and Calvin Stogdall, Trustee of Asylum for the Blind. Owing to the recent eiplosions in London many Englüh employers have discharged their Irish workmen, and it is becoming more and more difficult for Irishmen to obtain work anywnere in Great Britain. The English employers are acting imprudently. Tcere is no justice in punishing the innocent for the crimes of the guilty, and the discrimination against Irishmen is calculated to increase rather than diminish the outrages which the British public so much dreads. Englisn manufacturers and other employers could not adopt a policy more certain to imperil their property than that which they are now pursuing. Ir is affirmed that Mr. Cleveland has always refused free pasaes on railroads and dead-head telegrams sent by himself. A privatejletter to a gentleman of Washington City says: "I was in Albany last Tuesday, and spent an hour or so at the Governor's. He wa3 overrun with callers, but was, as usual, placid and genial. Lamont was busy in üiiDg applications for office ana returning telegraph franks and the like, alio; which (including railroad passes) Governor Cleveland has always refused ainca he became Governor. We are going to have sjms o'd-fashione'l honesty in the Presidential Chair, and present taking and all the abuses which have grown np of late years will be stopped." THE STATE LIBRARY. With several worthy ladies competing before the Legislature for the post of State Librarian, the Sentinel has refrained from camirg a choice. We can, however, extend hert7 congratulations to Miss Lizzie Callis, the excellent little lady who has presided f.ver the libary for the past two years, upon her becoming her own successor. To those who opposed Mise Callis we can say that no discomfiture need be felt at being defeated by her. By improving well her opportunities for pleasing the patrons of the library she has made a host ot warm friends, not only in Indianapolis, but throughout the State. In the charge of Misa Callis and her efficient assistant, Mrs. Hibben, the library has been conducted to the entire satisfaction of the public Ia its present quarters the library cannot be arranged to the best advantage, but should it be moved into its permanent quarters before the expiration of Mies Callis's term, we may expect to see an arrangement of books and museum articles which will please the public eye. But there is also needed a replenishing of boots to give us a State library worthy of the same. A ROMANTIC SUGGESTION. Sheikh Gemel Ed Din, a well-known M hammedan agent, now in Paria, asya: "The Mahdi wonld respect General Gordon as a prisoner, and might be willing to open negotiations for the exchange of General Gordon for Arabi Pasha, whom the Mahdi hoaoi a as a true servant in the cause of Mahomet." There is romance in this proposition. There is a good per cent of those who three years ago read of Arabi Pasha's combats, his capture and exile, who wonld hail with eclat the bringing of Arabi from his Ceylon cottage, where he ia reported to be cow teaching school, and surrendered ia exchange for Gordon all by the demand of the Arabs, of whose forces Arabi waa the leader. What ahumllia-

tion would not that be to England! What gibes would cot ehe receive from other nations! And yet no cartoon, no pasquinade at her expense would be undeserved. Her intermeddling over in the Soudan waa reprehensible, but the ungrateful inattention to Gordon in his dilemma was positively ehamefuL That would be a sight for assembled nat'ona to look upon the English, under compulsion, sending for the exiled Arab Chief, and returning to him his liberty. There ia nothing in modern history that would be comparable to it. If, happily, Gordon is alive and in eaptivity. El Mahdi will make for himself a page in romantic history by making the return of Arabi Pasha to liberty and his native heath the ransom of "Chinese" Gordon.

A REPUBLICAN SCHEME. The bill to separate the Soldier's Orphans' Dome from the Home for the Feeble Mlndea Children, and restore the name of the former, which was abolished by the last General Assembly, will be pressed by the friends of the soldiers and tbeir orphan children. A stizma was placed upon them by tbe consolidation. It was regarded ss a heartless and Infamous proceeding, unworthy the representatives ol a State that made an honorable record la the war for the suppression of the Rebellion. We believe the name and separate management of this Soldiers' Orphans' Home will be restored by tbe present General Assembly. Senator Faulkner, of kipley. one of the eldest Democrat In tbe donate, and one who has bad much legislative experience, says be is satisfied the action of two years ago was a blunder. The association degrades tbe soldiers' children. Iiis humanity and patriotism revolt at it. He authorizes us oaav that he will support the bill to separate the two Hemes, both located at Knlgatstown, no matter if it does cost more to maintain them. Peru Republican. The Republicans of the Legislature of 1S79, headed by a genial, clever tjaaker. C. 8. Hubbard, of Knightstown, conceived the idea of placing tbe Orphans' Home and the Home for the Feeble Minded under one management. The editor of the Pern republican waa a member of that Legislature, and voted with his party with commendable regularity, and whatever "heartless and in famous proceeding, unworthy the representatives of a State," waa the result, it looks very much as if the Republicans were largely responsible. Senator Faulkner, anl all other Democrats of the Legislature, probably agree as to the feasibility of separating the Homes, if it ia deemed advisable after careful council and consideration. JOHN BULL IN THE SOUDAN. Between Eogland's bearing toward Eypt and the Soudan and her bearing toward the American colonies more than a century ago there is considerable similarity. John Ball aspires, as he has ever done, to graze over broad fields. His ambition is for territory. He is a conceited fellow, apparently of the opinion that he is by some extraordinary tit'e the rightful protector of all provinces that appear not to be under any strong protectorate. This insolent spirit got him into a peck of trouble with "Uncle Sam" in 1775 and for yeara thereafter, and again in 1812. Humiliated and driven from American soil, he has ever since, at intervals, been involved in wars, the results, frequently, of hia impertinent meddling. He is now involved in a painful dilemma, in which, if he receives sympathy from other nations, it will be more for the gallant Gordon than for the enterprise he represents. From the firing of the first gun at the bombardment of Alexandria, to the present day, England's interference in Egyptian affairs has been a cruelly selfish one. Bat her neglect of Gordon has been as ungrateful as her treatment of Egypt has been oppressive. Not until six months after he waa known to be in need of help was any action taken for his relief. England moved about the matter as slowly as if believing it imposaible that the "rebels" dare do violence to one of her Generals. Gordon and his command were left to their fate without an effort being put forth to deliver them. Had Wolseley's expedition started three months earlier, It could have reached Gordon, Kahrtoum would not have fallen, nor Its brave defender been captured. If Gordon has lost his life, England has by grass neglect caused his murder. If he ia alive and held as hostags. England is placed in a mcst humiliating attitude, for she will be compelled to at cept whatever terms Gordon's captors may demand. She would be infamous to permit the sacrifice of that hero; she can not afford that. Encouraged by their success the "rebels" (though wherein they deserve to be termed rebels is not apparent to any but England) will wage yet more determined war against the British encrotchers. El Mahdi's influence over his fanatical followers is strengthened, and they are likely to increase in numbers. England has involved herself in a muddle which promises to cost her more than bankrupt and barren Egypt will be worth to her. WAS IT JUST TO THE PARTY? The majority in the Senate, following in the footsteps of the majority in the House, contents itself with the Treasury situation, and refuses to make further investigation. It is a victory for whom? For whomever it waa he can say, in the words of the Macedonian General, after one of hia successful battles: "Another such victory aa this and I am undone." For whomever the victory was won it was not for the Democratic party in Indiana. Our friends of the majority may view the matter differently. Time will tell who judged correctly, the Sentinel or they. We concede to none greater zeal for the success of the Democratic party, National, State or County; we concede to none a more loyal support of the Democracy and its candidates than the Sentinel always gives. We point to the Sentinel'a record in the late campaign when it had to fight through its columns and in the courts the double fight waged against the Indiana Democracy. In the future no less faithfully than in the past will the Sentinel be found laboring to advance the party. Only the good of the party has moved the appeals we have been making for a clear mirroring of the condition of the Treasury. 8urely, if in right condition, (which we have asserted) no amount of investigation could show it in wrong condition; and just in proportion aa investigation wai closer, the Treasurer's character would bave risen higher. If there waa truth in the chargea of the minority, who ao auch interested in the development of the irregularities as the Democrats? Ia the Treasurer of auch consequence that we can afford to imperil the success of the party (the Legislator and a United States

8enator) in 1886, rather than that the touchstone should be applied to his assets when they had been challenged? If those assets are actually what they parport to be, is the Treasurer not asking a good deal of the party which has been ao generoua to him, when begging to be excused from proving the actuality of the assets? Ia the situation of th party as enviable, with its opponents charging it with having shrunk from full investigation, aa it would be bad the investigation into the validity of the assets been allowed so searching that the minority could not have dared to repeat their charge? These are questions which can be answered in only one way. Our party has on its hands, through the mistake that ha3 been made, a fight which might by prompt and full investigation been turned at once into a triumphant Democratic victory.

PUBLIC CONFIDENCE REQUISITE. At no period of the present generation bave productive industries been so depressed as in the recent past. At no other time within the generation have the producing classes, whether of the field or shop, been compelled to accept the small reward for their labor. The 500.000.COO bushels of wheat comprising the crop of 1831 commands less by $00,000,000 than waa received for the 420,000,000 bushels produced in 1833. The corn crop of 18S4, aggregating 1,800,000,000 bushels, does not sell for within $10,000,000 of the price realized for the 1S33 crop of 1,550,000,000 bushels. On these two products alone there has been a shrinkage of 503,000,000 in selling value within a year. Indiana is in the foremost rank of cereal producing States. Indiana farmers who are represented by our present Legislature are losers by this reduction on two grains alone of at least Jti,COO,000. These extraordinarily low prices scarcely, however, illustrate what has been the aggregate shrinkage in values of the full products of producing labor. Itwas dissatisfaction with this condition of unrequited labor which largely contributed to the late political revolution in the Nation, and it was a potent factor in returning the unparalleled large Democratic majority to the present Legislature. The determination of the General Assembly to provide for the completion and conduct of the additional asylums for the insane, together with other commanding calls for appropriations, imposes upon this Democratic majority the necessity of laying upon the already sorely pressed taxpayers the heaviest tax assessment (on State account) they have had laid upon them in almost an age and at a time of inability to pay such as the people have never experienced. This does not present, we submit, the most flattering prcspect for satisfying and holding the people to their late judgment at the polls. To say the least of the situation, it calls for the exercise of the most delicate discretion and the most sober judgment on the part of the responsible majority. An nntoward 'blunder, whether of commission or omission, by our Democratic representatives, would be nothing less than a crime against the lately triumphant Democracy of the State. Already are Republicans attuning their voices for proclaiming: "Behold the fruits of Democratic victory the largest Democratic majority of record followed by the heaviest taxation of record. By their fruits ye shall know them," etc., etc. We would not, however, have the Democratic majority in the slightest degree shirk any responsibility demanded by the humane measures in progress for the Providentially evicted in the State. A straightforward, manly performance of duty in the premises ia the only course worthy of the traditions of the party. If only the taxpayer is satisfied that he is paying for the promotion of these divine charities, and that what he pays will be safely preserved and faithfully distributed to these purposes, he will not repine over his contribution. But we would urge upon the Democratic majority in the Legislature and upon our Democratic administration the paramount need of allaying whatever apprehensions recent agitations may have aroused among any part of the people. We would respectfully urge that nothing be left undone which may assure taxpayers that the large sums of money to be raised will be absolutely safe, so that eyery dollar shall go to the uses for which it is intended. Public confidence on these matters is our strongest assurance of being able to maintaia the majority we have secured. DYNAMITE INCONSISTENCY It is noticeable that the most inflame! press utterances against the dynamitarda today, are from papers which lately were hand in glove with dynamite Irish element in the attempt to make James G.Blaine President. Tbe Tribunes of New York and Chicago, the Commercial Gazette of Cincinnati, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat and the Indianapolis Journal exhorted for Irish votea with implied declarations that Blaine was nothing short of an infernal machine with fuse lighted and timed for an explosion immediately after the 4th of March, which should blow the whole British Government into smithereens. Whatever semblance of justification the English people have for charging that the dynamite crusade is fostered on American soil with American toleration ia found in the filea ot the Blaine papers during the campaign which welcomed the co operation of Patrick Ford and the Irish World in their efforts to elect Blaine. On this aubject the New York Evening Post taya to the Organa: You knew what he was lust as well then as you do now. You knew that the business of his newspaper was the collection of money for dynamite outrages and for tbe protection of assassins. You knew that in the same istaeaof bis paper In which be was supporting Blaine he was announcing every week contributions to his "emergency fund," and was openly avowing the object of that fund to be dynamite warfare on England. Knowing 11 this, you quoted from bis paper with admiring comments. "This waa not mere toleration it was direct encouragment," saya the Post, and it asks: Who can say that these very London outrazes, which are exciting the horror of Christendom, were not planned during the Blaine campaign planned, too, with the expectation that Blaine would be elected and would adopt a roller which would be in sympathy with them? That his Irish supporters believed he would adopt such a policy as President can not be denied. That was the sole ground for their support of him, and the Blaine editors who are now rolling their eyes la horror were doing everything in their power to stiengthen the belief. Blaine kimseli enoourrged that belief, and after the election publicly thanked Ford and tb other dynamite Irish leader, la the words which we quoted yesterday, tor "their strong and valuable support.'' The later talk o! the organs Indicates how much of a "tail twister" of the British lion

Blaise would have proven had he been elected. It shows, too, how deluded were the Irish who were seduced into supporting the Republican ticket The Republican party, aa auch, has never had any sympathy with our Irish friends. It has studiously ridiculed and denounced them until the exigencies of the late campaign compelled it to fawn to them in the hope of wheedling their votes. Even our esteemed contemporary, the Journal, shifted from auch descriptions aa "flanneled mouthed Irish," "with fins on their legs," to all sorts ot honeyed phrases of admiration for Erin's sons. But having failed to seduce enough Irish votes to elezt Blaine, the organs have dropped their aimilated devotion to Ireland and hatred of England, and fallen back into their natural abuse of all things Irish.

Kldd vs. Steel. Kokomo DIf patch. Recognizing the indelicacy as well as bid taste of auch a procedure, the Democratic press of the Eleventh Congressional District baa to this hour refrained from discussing the election contest of Kidd vs. Steele other than to print the allegations of Major Kidd and tbe reply of Major Steele. Had the Republican press preserved silence as to the merits or demerits of the contest, had Major Steele himself not flagrantly attested to manufacture sentiment tor himsalt by charges and statements procured by him to be made by Washington correspondents in the Indianapolis daily press, the Dispatch would not now refer to the matter outside of ita news columns. Major Kidd, tbe Democratio contester of Major Steele's seat in the lower House of Cocgress is aa honorable, high-minded gentleman, u'terly incapable of doing a small or malicious thing. He is a gentleman ot remarkable mentality, positive opinions, and scrupulously hoc est in every relation of life. He is not obuinate but he is immovable when he corsiders himself in the line of duty. He has just enough of the bull-doe ia his nature to never yisld tj a palpable wrong or an acknowledged fraud, whether in the' trial of a cause in court or tbe prosecution of an honest claim in politics. He is neither a hyprocrite nor a dunghill. Occe convinced, upon good evidence, that his cause is just he possesses jast enough thoroughbred blood to prosecute it to the bitter end. In a word, wnile he is as gentle as a maiden, be will not be bullied nor bu Ilde zed out of his jost rights. The face of the returns, last November, gave Major Steele his election to Congress by a plurality of fifty-four out of a total vote of over 4j,000, a margin so narrow, a fraction eo small, as to be scarcely appreciable. As was natural in a contest so close, Major Kidd investigated tbe vote of every cotnty in the district very closely. He scrutinized the returns from every precinct carefully. His friends, both Democrats and Republicans, from almost every county in tbe district wrote him of frauds, irregai&rities, illegal voting, vote buying, etc , and urged him to take steps to contest the election. To this proceeding Major Kidd was loth to give in. but nia friends, ceasing to urge, demanded, in the rame of the party, that he not submit to a üjfeat through fraud. Finally he yielded to the demand of his patty and began steps to contest. This he did in a bold, straightforward manner. He apprcached no man with a corrupt proposition, he suborned no testimony, he bought do witness to swear to a statement of alleged facts that he himself had prepared. His charges were printed entire in tbe Dispatch two months ago and were republished thereafter throughout the district. Major Steele's reply, a very vulminous document, bas been given to the public by bis home oran. That part relating to Howard County is printed elsewhere in the Dispatch of this date. We shall not undertake to pass judgment upon Major Steele's remarkable reply other than to say that, if that portion relating to this county is a fair sample ot the remainder, we have no hesitancy in expressing the belief that Major Kidd will unseat him. Major Steele haa sought to create tbe impression that Major Kidd knows be has no just grounds on which to contest, but relies solely on the friendly action of a Democratio House to seat him, regardless of tbe merits of his cause. This is absolutely false. Major Kidd honestly believes that he has abandant evidence to make out hia case. He would scorn to take a seat to which he did not believe himself fairly entitled by the honest vote of the electors of the district. The Dispatch speaks by tbe card when it declares thai Major Kidd expects nothing but justice from the Democratic House. He does not bank on party kinship to promote his cause, ner does he desire the c Juntenance of the Democratic Congress unless he clearly makes out his case in the law and evidence. Having been placed in possession of all the facta that Major Kidd bas callected in bis behalf, we are of opinion that he will in his cause on genuine merit. Major Kidd has never been charged with the corrupt use of money in his behalf either before or since the election. So much can not be (aid of Major Steele, and we call to witness tie almost united voice of the Republican press of the district immediately following the Republican Congressional Convention tbat renominated Steele at Kckomo last June. On the floor of that convention, the Hon. Calvin Cowgill, of Wabash, denounced Steele as one who had purchased his nomination with money and at the price of his own honor. Oj that occasion, Mr. Cawgill washed his hands of the infamous proceedings and in a thrilling and dramatic manner crnciiied Majir Steele on the cress of public execration. The dugractful scenes of that convention aie yet fresh in tbe memories of all. We all rememler how leading Republican cawspapers charged, openly and with screaming double-leaded editorials, that Major Steele had debauched the delegates and assailed the manhood of the party by his corrupt methods. Reasoning, a priori, we have every argument to sustain the charge that he also used money corruptly in the general election. The testimony of his own party is tbat he bought hia tominatioH, then in like manner it is not difiicult to believe tbat he employed the tame corrupt methods to compass his election at the polls. The testimony of Republicans alone will unseat Major Steele. They have placed the seal of corruption upon hia forehead themselves. They have welded the chain that will fetter him hand and foot bafor any honest investigation. Poisoning; at Letts Corner. Special to the BeatlneL Gkiensbcrg, Ind., Feb. 5. Tho cases ot accidental poisoning at Letts Corner, a village almost ten milea south treat of this city on the V.. O. and R. Railroad, has excited comment, owing to hurried dispatches published in tbe Cincinnati papers. Tbe facta, aa gathered by the Sentinel correspondent who visited the place tday, are: Mr. John Reitling, the proprietor of a "general store, invited Mr. William Tolan, a section hand, to drink with him a glaia of lemonade. In preparing the beverage, a gl a ss was used that had formerly contained a preparation for rata. Mr. Kersting stirred his drink with the sioon used by Mr. Tolan. In a short time ooth were attacked with alaaming symptoms. Dr. Ben White administered proper remedies, and the patients are rapidly recovering. . i Good for the Child. The ailments of childhood need careful attention and wise treatment. 8orae people think "anything ia good enough for a child, and there isn't much the matter with it ar,yhow." But Judicious mothers knowbetWr, and do aa Mrs. H. W. Perry, ot Bichmond, Va., does. She say a: "take Brown's Iron Bitters and give it to my children with the moat satisfactory results.' Seid everywhere.

THZ STATE LE'ilSLATl'RE. Some thirty Senators last Thursday presented petitions from tbe people praying for tbe pasanse of the bill requiring tbe eaects of alcohol oa the human sjRtem to be taugtit la tae public fchool. Mr Akin has introduced a bill making it a misdemeanor to give away or treat or pay for oi a wager or upon any game of chance any splrituotif, vIeou?, malt or other intoxicating liquor. The penalty is fixed at any sum not to exceed 875. Mr. Schley has Introduced a bill requiring th bridges over railroad tracks at the iatewectiua ol the tracks and highways and streets to be erected st a betont of not les than nineteen feet between the under side of the bridge and the railroad track. Every Senator has received a letter and circular f:om the International Workingmen s Association dtj rc eating Foulbe's dynamite bill, and justilyiBK worklngmen in the use of "dicgers and dynamite" against "tjrants, capitalists and monopolists." It is almost impossible to report even the names of the bills tbus far introduced Into the Legislature, our space is so limited. The daily proceedings occupy three or four columns of the Daily sentinel. We will endeavor however to keep oar readers posted on the legislation efiected. The Robinson bill to repeal the law permitting aliens to hoid titles to real estate came up as the special order in the House Friday morning, and was discussed at length. The bill wag finally passed by a vote of 6S to 1. and tbe Kanate bill on the same suject was recommitted for amendment. Mr. iloban's bill to require pavenper trains to stop every two miles provided suitable places for tne reception and delivery of pa-ssengers were erected by the parties benefited, was reported adversely from commute a. but the author uoceeded in having it recommitted to the Committee on Right and Privileges of Inhabitants of the State The bill hxiog: the penalty of the State Treasurer's bond at 1.000,t00 came up again Friday morning. The Senate, it will be remembered, amended the bill, making the penalty SaOO.lOO, but the House refused to concur ia its amendment, and a Conference Committee was appointed. The Conference Committee reror ed Friday, fixing the penalty at $700.000, and the report was adopted and the bill passed. Representative Kelllsou has introduced a bill to amend the law authorizing ounties and towaships to take stock ia and make donations to ra 1road companies and provin? tbat ' if two thirds of the votes cast shall be lu favor of such appropriation the Board ot County Commissioners shall grant the prayer and shall levy a special tax ot at leat one-hall the amount specified, but not exceeding 1 per cent, upon the real and personal property In the county or township." The General Assembly met In joint convention S! or day afternoon and elected the Democratic caucus nominees to the positions chosen some days sgo. These included Lizzie O. Callis, of Mortan. State Librarian: John Horn, Floyd, l'rifon Director fouih; George Majors, Benton, Prison Director Nortii; B H. Burrell, Jackson. Trustee lueane Asylum: John B-Green, Clinton, TruttceDeaf and Dumb Institution, and Calvin btocdill, .Decatur, Trustee Blind Afjium. Sena-

l tor Magee presided, ttud tbe election was by a strict party vote. Governor Gray has thus far signed but six bills patted by the Legislature. They are as follows: Tbe bill appropriating i U5,C00 for the expenses of the General Assembly; the bill fixing the time of hoidiDg Court iu the Thirty sixth Judicial Circuit: the bill appropriating S3.C00 lor the immediate repairs of the female department of the Insane Hospital; tbe bill fixing the bond of the Htate Treasurer at S7C 0,000: tbe bill appropriating t !,9;0 for tbe expenses of the Indiana exhibit at New Orkans: and the bill legalizing the incorporation of the town of Canneltou, Terry County. In both tbe Senate and tbe House last Thursday the reports of the joint committee recently appointed to inquirewhether an investigation of the Treasury is desirable or necessary were p reue a ted. Tbe majority report tbat the manner iu which the Treasurer has the money deposited secures to himself, his bondsmen and the State the least possible risk, in view of the fact that the vaults are notoriously unsafe for tbe deposits of large sums of money.
