CO., Indianapolis, Ind. Statesmen and politicians must remember the people are in earnest for reform. Tu a Democracy of the Eighth Congressional District will bold their convention at liockville, July 7. Every Michigan Democrat and Fusionist voted for tariff reform. ETery Republican toted against it 5 to 4. The West wants tariff" reform. Thibe were four thinking statesmen among the Republicans who vote! for reform. Only four; barely enough to have saved Sodom .and Gomorrah from destruction. Tug Ppie'a party is the anti-monopoly "party, and the first and greatest monopoly is the taxiS. The Demoeratic party, with all its faults, is yet the party of reform. No ONK has any idea what a wheat crop Indiana is going to harrest. Eren at the current rate it will add $33,000,000 to her wealth. Everywhere it is close, stocky and heavy headed. Evert Democratic Representative in Congress from this State voted for tariff reform. Erery Republican Representative from this State voted against reform. Don't forget it The West wants tariff reform. Th Democratic party is still the reform party, made so by force of circumstance lore than the intelligence of some of IU leaders. The Republicans cast) nearly a solid vote for monopoly. The Democrats have thirty-five Representatives to consign to private life. The importation of German and French wines ought to be prohibited in order to make those Governments open their ports to American pork. Denver Tribune. They ought to be prohibited on a broader principle a well, that is, a very large portion of them, because they are notoriously and abominably adulterated. The civil service reform humbug is up ajaln in Congress. We do not want to see it made into a second-hand attachment on some other bill, but either let alone or boldly taken up and as boldly taken from the statute books. The "reform" was an insane conception of a few political mystics, who had dreamed a dream of certain millenniums out of an impossible human nature. The parade of this reform was a piece of claptrap. It involred no teal reform, but qinplf

implied a dangerous innovation. The country Democrats and Republicans alike mistrust it It is a dangerous departure from democracy to beaureauocracy, and fiaally to the hereditary system. Whatever of good it contains Is overbalanced by thrice as much evil. If Congress touches it at all it should be lo eliminate it from American politics, for tuck would be the result of decisive action by the House of Representatives. A Mr. DxLacy, of Nottingham, England, has invented a remarkable automatic lifesize figure in the semblance of a Turk. Item. Why could not Mr. De Lacy have shown originality enough to have adopted some ether figure than that of a Turk for his automaton? DeKempelen adopted that figure for his celebrated automaton, "Chess riayer," a hundred years ago or near it. After traveling all over the civilized world, mainly with Maelzel, ana beating the great

Napoleon more than once, the "Chess Player" sunk out of sight finally in the attic of some old warehouse in this country, probably in Philadelphia. GLADSTONE GAINING. It is astonishing, so soon after a parliamentary decision that destroyed a ministry and apparently rended the English Liberal party In twain, how rapidly the tables are turning against the Tories. Already they hare weakened themselves by attempting a measure of Irish home rule, and stultified the position upon which the dissolution was based. The reason for this is the awakened sentiment of the British peasant and artisan classes, with whom a land question, similar in its feature to the underlying cause of the Irish agitation, has placed in sympathy with the Gladstone programme. The enthusiasm with which the Premier has been received indicates that the Tories did not understand the drift of public opinion, and their retreat upon a partial compromise shows the insincerity of their professions. The condition of British industry is the animus of the awakening of the British masses. That a British tenant farmer views a land question in the same libt as an Irish tenant farmer follows naturally, as the former has been reduced to the same straits through identical causes that produced the Irish agitation. British farmers are prostrated by India competition, and are no longer able to pay the rents and taxation that is as burdensome in Enrland as in Ireland. Manchester cotton-spinners are threatened with destruction through India and American competition, and they, too, have been led by the force of necessity to question the methods of taxation required for the support of the landlord and classfavored system that is peculiar to British feudal institutions. The action of these cause?, although produced in different ways, is visibly productive of a rapid growth of more democratic ideas, which, as they are formulated by the Irish leaders, represent closely the wishes of English classes of simi-. lar social status. It has been apparent to American eyes for Tears that the Irish had opened a question as vital to England, to Scotland, as to Ireland. Indeed, it is questionable if some phases of the question do not spread throughout the world. But it certainly has affected the English and Scotch, and seemingly to a degree that puts a new phase to the question that but two weeks ago looked so dark for the fortune of Gladstone's programme and party. That the Tories in this short time haTe seen their unity melt away into various shades of belief that range from a watery reduction of Gladstone's solution to the extreme of coercion, while Gladstone's policy, by toning down some asperities in his bill, approaches, if it does not nullify, the Tory Liberals and conciliates the Conservative Whigs, Las put a new aspect upon the possibilities of the question that is in the highest sense complimentary to the political sagacity of this remarkable leader of modern popular thought and the dexterity by which his very niütakes are turned to his benefit. THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK. The increase of imports for the nine months ended April 1, of more than $3:000,000, as compared with the same period of the preceding year, is a pretty sure indication of increasing domestic prosperity. JThe closing months of 1881 were the gloomiest in our history, and since the spring of 13S3 a slow, but certain, improvement has been noticeable. That the improvement was disappointingly slow has been due to the utter absence of speculative fever, and what gains we have made are solid, legitimate and enduring. The ''bucket-shop" has disappeared from our cities where formerly they thrived. Real estate, with a few exceptions, produced by abnormal local causes, has invited sales on its intrinsic worth; and never perhapi have more cottages been built by small proprietors than during the past two years. The growth of building and loan associations among the working and middle classes has somewhat changed the usual distribution of money that is now by a natural process of selection seeking profitable channels for employment upon non-speculative basis and individual economies, rather than in hasty investments. It is unquestionable that these have severely disturbed iacomes of large fiscal corporations who have depended upon a hieh rental value of their properties, which again depended upon the much higher cost which the investments represented when they were made. In truth, the abnormal dullness has been due to a wringing out process which has eliminated the "water" which the gradual nhancement of money and of shrinkage of property values represent, and until this could reach its level investments upon a large scale will certainly be postponed. From various symptoms in various parts of the world there is apparent a reaction in the artificial methods that have been applied to enhance money values, and it is clear that this great reaction means that this great disturbing eause has passed its maximum. In fact, there is increasing evidence that France and England will reverse, in part at least, their policy toward silver, in which case we may expect, with considerable confidence, that the price of gold will decline somewhat and a reaction in the values of products set in. The moment such a reaction becomes apparent as a reasonably permanent tendency, the long inaction will cease. Capital will invest with confidence that by induction will impart a constant acceleration of in duitry. With this will come an equal in crease of purchasing power and a period of greater commercial activity magog fill

classee. The long inaction has caused abnormal economies. People have applied all their energies to debt-paying, and have limited themselves to the plainest necessities In so doing. Where debts have not been extinguished through payment, they have been compounded and extinguished through process of bankruptcy, that while it has added to the prevailing dullness, has paved the way to a far greater individual solvency, and people are now ready to begin again upon the new level. We do not draw all the dismal conclusions from the increase In our imports that would flow from viewing the fact from a single standpoint. It is at least an indication that we are buying more luxuries, and in which conclusion we are confirmed from the slow but general increase in domestic activity; and together they indicate that people have more surplus to expend, and they all indicate that the tendency has passed the commercial dead point and is tending upward. Neither do we draw dismal conclusions from thejecent labor unrest. That it has succeeded largely in raising the wages of the us skilled, and consequently unduly depressed classes without the skilled and protected classes being reduced, is to our mind further evidence of an increased activity. It may broadly be taken as a natural reaction from the abnormal pressure ot lSSt-5 that bore most heavily on those classes. It is notoriously impossible that any general increase of wages could follow without an increase in the power to pay them, and the two are complementary conditions to a real and decided improvement in our general business activities, that without the element of chance will still be slowly upward, and with it, as from an increased demand from Europe for the enormous surpluses of agricultural crops now distinctly foreshadowed, would expand into a "boom." The dead wood is largely cleared away, and we are now ready for business.

A DEMAND FOR POLITICAL FUNERALS. The Republicans, assisted by thirty-five C- ngressmen representing Democratic const uencies, defeated the tariff issue for this aion of Congress, and it will go over uatil ti c political funerals of a few RepublicanDemocrats are decreed by their constituents. Of this thirty-five but eleven were from the Western and Southern States, and if the vote represented the true sentiment of the people, it would reduce the question to a sectional issue, with the East representing the tariff monopoly interests. But we do not believe that democrat's of the Eastern and Middle States countenance the actio of their representatives, who were subjerte4 to the persuasive influences of the powerful lobby that far months h3 been laboring to under mine the issrj. The vote indicates that the Republican party is substantially a unit against any redaction of the tariff" or any change in the policy of the Government in the protection doctrine, as but four out of 122 Republicaas voted in favor of the Morrison bilL We would not consider this ia any way abnormal or significant if the Democrats had taken equally as decided positioa on the pledges upon which the party was intrusted to powei, but it postpones a question to which the party stands committed, and upon which the populrvr voice is decided and urgent, and at a time when our prostrated industries require the broadest, most energetic statesmanship. The latter phase of the question embraces its vitality, and if this vitality does not cover the recalcitrant Democrats with well deserved obscurity it will be because the Republican party will lack the perception to take advantage of it. The great mass of population are demanding freedom from the imposition of taxation for the benefit of a few Eastern manufacturing interests. The power of this country lies west of the Alleghaniea, and yet in all fiaancial and econo mic measures this majority has been made subordinate to the Eastern oligarchy now, as during the past twenty years, solely as tax-paying elements to enrich the few, whese influence is so deeply rooted as to defy all popular efforts to overthrow it. Whatever vitality the protection idea ever had in the development of home industries has long since gone through inter-state com petition, and its retention now is only a colossal job through which a few bonded interests can enrich themselves from the productive classes, who are compelled to restrict their purchases to this chosen few, who in return demand the utmost free trade in labor and raw material. But there is a glimpse of hope in the gradually declining strength of the protec tion factionists. The bill was defeated only on the narrow majority of seventeen. A change of ten votes will suffice to defeat the protectionists, and the country may rely upon the increasing firmness and urgency of the masses to decisively settle this üsue in the next Congress. INJUDICIOUS STRIKES. The evil effects of injudicious strikes are forcibly presented in a recent sermon of Professor Swing, of Chicago, in which he says "the money which the Knights of Labor have poured out in contests with railroads would have colonized a whole State in the Northwest with men who would earn good wages and whose absence would cause those left behind to get good wages also. lie believed that the plan of colonizing labor in the undeveloped sections of the country was tha which promised the best solution to the labor question." Whether this be tVe best solution of the great problem of labor and the condition of laborers or not, it is very certain that the Professor does not overestimate the evils of unwarranted or illconducted strikes, of the magnitude of that on the Southwestern railroads recently. It involved the commerce of rjialf the continent. It obstructed the business of thousands of manufacturers, merchants, and general producers. It crippled labor at a thousand sources. The loss from these causes, if it could be fairly aggregated, would be appalling. It is hardly possible to ascertain it, even by a reasonable approximation. For the individual loss of a dollar must be taken Into the account as well as the larger losses of business houses obstructed, railways crippled, and manufactures delayed or damaged. Theee losses too were often cumulative. That of to-day was made greater the next day. And it went progressively to the end. Millions of dollars were thus sunk as fatally as if their value had been burned in a large CvBÜsgraUoa, IX it couia be 01 cvli?a?i

into a fund, as Professor Swing suggests, the mere interest or income of it would provide for much poverty and arrest much Oering. And all this vast mischief was done on a mere "punctilio." There was no grievance, no wrong, no oppression. The leader of the Knights of Labor said so. He admitted that there was no adequate ground for it. The best pretense, and the only one, was that the "Knights must be recognized." Their power must be assorted and demonstrated. A Knight had been dismissed from his place and a hundred thousand other Knights "must know the reason why," and that is all of it. It beats the old ballad of "Trelawney Far Away." The worst of the effects, after all, are those that strike back, like the fabled boomerang, and Lit the men who did the mischief. The workingman, the laborer, is always the first and the worst to suffer when business is blocked and industry crippled. We don't argue against the principle of strikes. It often happens that the on'y way to force a mean or malignant employer to reason and just action is' by stopping his business till he "squeals." But there must be a distinction taken between private business that concerns one man, or a few only, and such operations as affect the thousand individuals and interests all over the country. These have no part in the grievance that is made the basis of the strike, but they have a big part in the mischief it does. They have to bear ills for which no blame lies at their door. For cases of this kind there is a law needed, it seems to us. If the emplyes of a railway, for instance, are ill-paid r ill-used, an appeal to some legal tribunal should be allowed where the power lies to compel a correction of the abuse. It is not in human nature to bear hard usage and poor pay without resentment or resistance, whatever may be the effect on innocent parties of the measures taken to resist. And that these measures need not be resorted to, unoffending parties escape mischief, and illused workingmen be saved from wrong, a law should provide for a proper tribunal of correction. Something of that kind will come sooner or later, for its necessity is obvious always and urgent often.

A REPUBLICAN "ISSUE" GONE. It is a poor gun that shoots in both directions. Possibly this will be evident to some of the Republican contemporaries who hare been straining to prove that the sixteen months administration of Government by Democracy had at last failed to mend the business prostration, if, indeed, it had not increased it. But the cold logic of fact has put this poverty-stricken argument into the catagory of buncomb that, if it could have any result, would be to impair confidence in that nervous class of business men who pin their faith in the lies of Republican Anarchists. The following comparison of exchanges at the larger and the smaller cities, for five months of this year and last year, presents the result: ix6. im Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago 13.756.2SS.U0 $1,M2,02 1,273 St. Leu is, .Baltimore. iNew Orleans and Milwaukee SO9.039.922 Twenty other cities 1,301,079,17 7'.W,483.l:U 1.163,!U0,ei6 This makes a gain over the year 1S35 for identical periods of $812,507,808 the reverse of bad business. We think force of habit durirg these years past has prevented a proper application of the fact that our business stagnation has ended and reversed into a movement of advance. To this may be added an absence of feverish speculation that adds excitement to trade, and perhaps the lower prices tb at prevail has obscured the prime fact that for a year and a half the tendency has been steadily upward. The result is extremely gratifying, and if the great labor unrest had not operated during this last interval of five months it would have be n striking. When the increased purchasing power of this added $812,'0,W0 is considered, it expands the volume of exchanged products to an equivalent of a billion compared with the preceding year, and when we consider the enormous increase in agricultural products foreshadowed for this reason against the indications of one year ago, and the advance in the value of labor secured by the unskilled classes, and the settlement for a couple of years at least of the question of labor values, there is indicated for this and for two or three years following, a constantly accelerating improvement in business. There is a tendency to dwell upon the reduced value of products as indicating the reverse of prosperity. It will require time, no doubt, to accustom capital to smaller returns in investments. They are small only by comparison with the abnormal interests and profits that the rapid expansion of this country during the past twenty years has made possible. But the capitalist who compares his profits with the profits of capital in Europe, will see that he Is yet far in advance. To the country as a whole the question of profits vs. quantity produced is only comparative, and would not be obscured except by the confusion of money with trade. If the profits should decline onehalf, it would not indicate distress as a whole, but advance as a whole, for it would mean by that much an addition to the comforts, the luxuries of life, to the people. PRISON REFORM. Michael Dunn's address before the Prison Chaplains' Association in this city was in teresting, and met with hearty response from most who heard him. He said he was for thirty-five years a con vict, being imprisoned at different times at "Old Bailey," Manchester, England; at Van Dieman's Land, Western Australia; Gibralta, Philadelphia, Montreal, South Boston, Sing Sing, and other places. He is a native of Manchester, EDgland, and is now sixty-six years old, and was twenty-five before he knew the alphabet. He was first sent to prison when eight years old for pilfering, and had led the life of a thief until ten years ago. when, upon being released from Sing Sing, was induced by Christion people to reform, which he tried and felt that he had accom plished. Shortly after the beginning of this change in himself, by the aid of philanthropic people he began the establishment of a Home for Discharged Convicts in New York City, which has proved very successful, and is one of the model institutions of the coun try. Two more are now in existence one at San Francisco and the other at Chicago Mr. Dunn being in charge of the last one. The object of the institutions is to furnish home for ex-convicts who are willing to work. Düna U strongly 9PP9ttd to the ertragt

system of convict labor. In the course of an

interview he said: "The needed reforms in prisons rests by no means alone with the chaplains. They can accomplish nothing of a reformatory nature except through becoming better acquainted with the men than has heretofore appeared to be their disposition. Very much of this reform work must be accomplished by legislation. One of the most important changes to be made in prison discipline is in regard to the placing of two men in the same cell. This should never be done for any number of reasons. A young convict, serving his first term, is made far worse by the constant association with a convict who has become thoroughly deparved. Instead of becoming attached to each other cell mates are apt to become bitter enemies. The ugly spirit with which they become possessed grows habitual and remains with them when they are liberated. Then there are serious reasons why the system of placing two men in one ceil should be abolished that can hardly be ap proached. If the public understood, even in part, how stupendous are the evils of this plan and the crimes enacted constantly within prison walls there would arise a unanimous demand for wider prison accommodations. The best reformatory method for the convict is to place him in solitary confinement until he begs for work. The hardest punishment in the world for a man to endure is a solitary existence and idle ness. I was in Sing Sing nine months without work, and it seemed to me I would become insane. We know men to actually become "leony'' through the pressure of prison idleness. Then, when a man is set to work, he should not for months see any one but the instructor who teaches him his occupation and the Chaplain. By keeping a man idle for a time he is so anxious to work that he will try his best to learn whatever is told him to do, and to do it well. "Night schools shouli be established in every jail and prison, to give those who have had no opportunity to obtain the elements of education a chance to learn, at least, how to read and write correctly. All men who can read should be allowed to have a book once a week from the prison library, instead of once a month. No one can have an idea how eager men in prison are for reading matter; but they seldom get the best books in the' libraries, for all the keepers and other officers in the institutions take the pick themselves. I've seen men lying flat on the floor of their cells, face downward, reading by the little crack of light that crept in under the door. No man but the Warden should have authority to punish the prisoners, and flogging or other physical punishments should never be employed. Flogging never made a man better, but always irorse." TnE use of the word "old" in the sense of the frequent grumbling of the porter in "Macbeth, "if a man were porter of hell gate he should have old turning the key," as dd as it seems to us now it was not uncommon in this city and county fifty years ago among the North Carolina settlers. The writer has heard it often, and it may possibly be used still by some remnant of the last generation. There are many local idioms aad oddities of England preserved in certain localities in this country, probably after they have become obsolete at home. Should the paper rail, now on trial on Russian railroads, prove the success in tme it has so far indicated, it would create a revolution in disposition of tiade as complete as the introduction of the locomiotive over the farm wagon. We imagine that a great deal of the world's depression has been due to the destruction of capital through changes in the methods o' applied industry. A successful and durable paper rail would mean a large substitution of this substance for Iron and steel, and turn every farm into a productive mine. Canada will not retreat from her absurd position on the fisheries question. It may become necessary to drive her. She will by some overt act, committed by some unduly enthusiastic citizens of the North, place the question where diplomacy will be unable to extricate it. When they kill a few America citizens, they will arouse the sentiment of another Sumter. Our people are waiting just now for something to turn up. If the Canucks are wise, they will not do the log rolling. Secretary Whitney's project for the creation of an auxiliary navy by enrolling properly constructed merchant vessels, is a good one. It would be eminently practical had we more merchant vessels. Formerly our naval strength, officially always Weak, was immeasurably strengthened from the merchant marine. Our miserable policy of isolation has destroyed our only resource. The Louisville Post reflects a general sentiment in the following: "The President stated to a gentleman yesterday that he deeply regretted the result on the Morrison Tariff bill Thursday. There are some other people in the party who will regret their votes more deeply than he about the time their political careers close, which, please God, most of them will do next November." The progress of the Grand Old Man from London to his Mialothian constituency was an "ovation." Great crowds greeted him, and none would be satisfied until Mr. Gladstone had spoken on the greatest issue of his life. There is a grandeur in the enthusiasm of this old man, bound up in the humanitarian sentiment that is so fitly closing his eventful life. The war on "Indian doctors" recalls to an old resident that away off in the last generation, early in the forties, an "Indian doctor" figured prominently in this city for a time by the euphonious name of "William Kelly Frowhawk Fryer," and he '.lived on South Illinois street, near the Catholic school 0 Georgia. If Blaine had as much honesty as enthusi asm, as much depth as brilliance if he were anything but an exposed charlatan and bribe-taker be would make formidable Presidential timber. As be has none of the good and all of the bad attributes he will simply stand aside and watch the procession move. His Jay Gould alliance was his last. Gi.adftose has thrown a bomb into the camp in Ubter by promising to disestablish the English Church if the dissenters will enable him to settle the Irish trouble. "Dissenter" ia cQtla,acl aad Ireland are a.boa(

divided in their hatred of the English and Roman Church, and the dissenters of Scotland at least who have not imbibed the political hatred engendered between the Orange and Catholic factions, will be prone to accept the statesman's advice.

L,ire of Hendricks. "Life and Public Services of Thomas A. Hendricks," with selected writings and speeches, by John W. Holcombe and Hubert W. Skinner, is the title of a new book soon to be ready for the reader. This book will be sold by subscription, to be delivered after September 1. Upon the subject chosen a dull book could not be written, but the reputation of the authors and their recognized literary attainments give assurance of a book for which there is a strong demand at this time; a comprehensive and well written study of the career of one of our great men. The specimen pages which have been submitted to us promise an exceedingly interesting book, independent in its views, and impartial in its treatment of men and measures. Externally it is to be made up in the finest style, and illustrated with steel portraits and fine wood cuts. POLITICAL NOTES. Senator Looan's drooping boom has been given an Indorsement by another Chicajo club. Things are getting so now, says the Philadelphia Times, that Mr. Blaine makes a speech whenever a mackerel gapes or a dog howls at night. , Advices from Fittsburg, Ta., say that the State Convention of liquor dealers, tobe held in this city July 13, will be very largely attended, every city and town ia the State doubtless being represented. "IT might be a good plan," says the Philadelphia Times (Independent) "for Congress to go further than it has yet done by submitting a Constitutional amendment making it impossible for legislative riders to be attached to appropriation bills in the future." W. D. Bickham, editor of the Dayton Journal, one of the brightest and most stalwart Republican papers in Ohio, confesses great admiration for Blaine, but thinks the party would "run a serious risk" by nominating him again. It Is a "risk" which the most reckless insurance company would scarcely dare assume. John P. Irish, editor of the San Francisco Alta, having been mentioned as a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, responds through his paper in this eminent Irish fashion: "He feels to much respect for an office great enough to have been filled by John Daggett to wish that it should fall to a fellow about whom he knows so many things that won't bear discussion. Therefore he wishes to say he is not a candidate." A Washington correspondent asserts that Fiesident Cleveland is sharpeniag his official scythe with the intention of ousting all the Republican officeholders. His inactivity up to the present time is excused upon the ground that: "The civilj service inherited by the administration has been the growth of twenty-four years of Republican rule, and can not be dismissed in a day tr a year. The workef removing Republicans necessarily require i time." Tue liauor business liability bill reporte 1 in the Massachusetts Legislature recently is a noteworthy departure from customary lines of liquor legislation. It proposes to make all the parties profiting by the traffic, from the seller to the real estate owner, jointly and severally liable for some of its consequences. An action is authorized against any or all of these parties for the recovery of damages, not to exceed $5,000, for the loss of life through intoxication. The Boston Herald (Ind.) says: The Republicans who are laying in a great store of campaign thunder in regard to the extravagance of the Democratic House should prepare some able explanation of the fact that every bill yet passed by that body has been increased by the Republican Senate, while the original extravagance of the Upper House, in the $77,009,009 Blair bill, and the new pension bill, greatly surpasses that of the popular branch. It is "six of one and half a dozen of the other," with the odds against the Senate. The State of Maine has enjoyed a prohibitory liquor law for more than a generation. Liquor legislation of additional stringency has been put upon the statute book from time to time, and the principle of prohibition has been incorporated into the State Constitution. Yet there has never been any great difficulty in obtaining liquor in Maine, except in the small rural communities, and in the larger towns liquor shops flourish as if the traffic were free and not forbidden. Instead of recognizing the fact that prohibition is a failure, and must necessarily be such until human nature is very much changed, the Maine Prohibitionists go on clamoring for more law and more enforcement, although they ought to know that a law which impertinently interfers with a man's personal and private concerns can not be enforced, and must defeat itself. New York Sun. PERSONALS. General Simon Bolivar Bdckner, who distinguished hiaiself in the Confederate army, may be the next Governor of Kentucky. The Providence Journal hears that Attorney General Garland will lesign before thirty days have passed. The same thing was heard by other journals six months ago.
