THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL" WEDNESDAY-' JULY 6 1Q87.

BY XT. J. CHAIQ. WEDNESDAY, JULY, C. TER9L3 FEB TEAR. Single Copy, without Pre ml am si 00 Club of six for, 5 00 We ask Democrats to t ear in iilnd and select their own Bute paper when they come to take subscriptions and make up clubs. Agent making np data send lor any Information desired. A J dress INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL, Indianapolis, Ind. After this issue Colonel J. B. May d aid becomes the principal editorial writer on the Sentinel. His former connection with this paper is bo widely known that he seeds no introduction to the people of Indiana as a versatile writer and thorough Democrat. Mr. G. C. Matthews who has been with us daring the past year, goes to the Mem phis Appeal as its managing editor. Together with the people of this city and Elate we commend him to his new field as a thorough gentleman, a scholar, and a most graceful writer ons to whom the people of Tennessee may generously ex" tend the hand of welcome and good fellow ship.

Tuisk of a party once officered by Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner, Horace Greeley and Henry Wilson now being prepared for battle onjer the lead of such men as Tom Piatt, of New York, and Bill Chandler, of New Hampshire. Rowas, known as "the bloody county" 01 Kentucky, haying recently lost so many prominent Republicans, will not give its usual Republican majority at the coming State election. Mr. Blaine beat Mr. Cleveland forty-seven votes in the county at the last presidential election. ÄIr. Blaine is seeing all "the lions' of the old country. He called to Bee the Queen a day or two ago. He should look np the dungeon that the gallant Irishman, McSweeney, occupied, and from which he made heart-rending appeals for redress to Mr. Blaine while the latter was Secretary of State under a Republican administration. A reporter accompanies Mr. Blaine abroad and telegraphs any good points that may be made available for that gentleman's last desperate clutch for the presidency. A distinguished London editor remarked after hearing Mr. Blaine air his high protective theories, "Well, he surpasses any man I ever heard in brilliantly displaying sophisms," That is Jim's fort. Theee has been considerable talk sbout an extra session of Congress within tne last few months, but the conviction teems to be very general that the President will not order one. Senator Vest, in a very recent Interview, said : "There will be no necessity for an extra session. The Fiftieth Con gress, I think, will do what it can to relieve the country of the odious war taxes that hang over us. There is a general disposition to legislate in that direction. I feel very sure that Mr. Carlisle will be elected Speaker again." The Greensboro, N. C, Star, a Republican paper, regrets the course of Senator Sherman in his public utterances, and says that there is a tree national spirit pervading the opinions of the Southern people which is not chained to the bitter memories of the war. It adds: 'They know all about the meaning of intimidation, bull dozing, ostracism, etc. If they are willing to forgive and anxious to forget, why should public men in the North seek to perpetuate the animosities which have controlled the Southland?" Thet say that Colonel Robertson is actually hugging the delusive phantasy that he will be the next Governor of Indiana. The Republican bo sses are giving him this sort of taffy, but, privately, they are arrargirg the pins for forcing Ben Harrison to the front and then allowing Robertion to catch on to the lieutenantgovernorship, if he can. They say that the little Colonel's guns are of light caliber, and that he carries a very limited quantity even of these. In the rugged contest of a presidential year such men as Robertson Will b8 buried clear out of sight All that's needful to insure his defeat will be to give sufficient opportunity for the people to size him up. "Tueee has been much interest displayed recently a to the course of Dr. McGlynn in relation to uniting himself to the Knights of Labor. Here is some direct and authentic information on the point. When asked if the report was true. Dr. McGlynn emiled and replied: "While in Chicago the Knightr, who treated me with great kir.dness, suggested that I should join their order. They seemed to think that I could do a great deal of good by becoming a member. I told them I would consider the matter when I got back to New York and let them know the result of my deliberation. I am not yet prepared to say whether I shall join or not. All that was said in addition to this was by the newspapers, not by me. The invitation wai extended to me by Sir. Tarnbull, secretary of the District Assembly, No. 21, of Chicago." Thk editor of the St Paul Pioneer Press seems built up much like the esteemed friends of the Indianapolis Journal. A recent "Washington special tells the story: On the 18th of this month the Pioneer Press uttered an editorial wail about the decadence of the fast mail service from St Taul to New York. It recalled that under Republican administrations letters used to travel between those points In a little more than forty-eight hours, whereas now it took from four to six days, and that complaints were numerous and widespread. An agent of the railway mail service was sent to investigate. He called on the able Republican editor and asked him for evidence of bis charges of delay or for any of the complaints that he said had been made to him. The editor had to confess that he Lad no evidence and no formal complaints, ' and no complaints that indicated how long it did take letters to reach New York. IndeSnit com pli. lata of delay had been

made to him, but all of them wtie made

more than a month before his editorial howl at the inefficiency ot the Democratic administration of the postofSce. It happens that more than a month ag3 there was some trouble in the distribution-room of the St. Faul postoffice, and letters were left over from one night till the following daj. This had been remedied without any peblic complaint, the distribution-room reconstructed, and, after that was done, the Republican editor had heard of no delays in the mails, although he had waited a month after the trouble had been removed before he explained to the public how utter the Democratic incapacity was.

PATRIOTISM. The indications are that the celebration of the Fourth of July to-morrow will be more general and hearty than for many years past. This is a cheerful sign, and indicates that true patriotism is growing among the people, both young and old, native and foreign. Of late years the old-fashioned manner of celebrating has fallen into disfavor, or, rather, has not been very generally followed. The booming of cannoB, the grand parade, the strains of martial music, called ail the people of the city, town and country together, and the Fourth of July orator found an audience beyond the limits of his voice. This, of course, made the day one of noise and excitement, and, too frequently, one of dissipation. But notwithstanding tberc may have been some objectionable features connected with this style of celebration, it would be well to encourage a return to the old fashioned way. The day should be celebrated by all the people as citizens, as the Fourth of July orator wonld say, of "a great and glorious country." The rich and the poor the young and the old, the Z native and the foreign born, the white and the black, should meet on common ground and celebrate the day from which is dated a new era in the world's history. The Fourth of July is the people's day, and an exclusive celebration by any one class, society or clique falls very short of a proper appreciation of the day. A general celebration by all the people of the city, town or neighborhood, in one assemblage, will arouse a public spirit of patriotism, and will stimulate the young to an increased love for the study of the history and institutions of our country and assist them to a realization of the duties of citizenship. The Fourth of July orators of the past 100 years have dwelt very largely on the noble deeds of the revolutionary soldiers. This was eminently proper, but the statesmen who formed the Constitution have never received a very large amount of laudation on this anniversary. They were true patriots, and should not be forgotten by the Fourth of July orator. One hundred years ago to-day it was very questionable if the rich fruits of the revolutionary war would be gathered. The constitutional convention was in session at Philadelphia, and the diSerences of opinion among the members were so radical that the prospect of an agreement were very slim indeed. Bat the members of that convention were patriots, and the 5th of July, 17S7, compromised their differences and substantially agreed upon the Constitution as it was finally adopted. Had not these men been actuated by the very highest patriotic impulses, a national government would not have been formed, and the Declaration of Independence would not have become such an important event had each State remained in independent government. It is the unity, growth and prosperity ot the people under the Constitution that adds to the importance of the declaration which was the foundation of the Government that was afterward established, and without which the declaration would have lost much of its importance. At the close of this 100 years since the Constitution was formed, it will be well for the Fourth of July orator to dwell upon the patriotism of the men who made the Constitution. Rut who is a patriot? Webster says it is "a person who loves bis country, and zealously supports and defends it and its interests." A man, then, can not be a patriot who defies the laws of the land and habitually violates them. A man can not be a patriot whose selfish action leads in opposition to best intents and is in conflict with the public good. The patriotic citizen must obey the laws and uphold the institutions of the Government And that man is the most patriotic who devotes all his energies to the building up and development of a great, prosperous and happy Government which shall be a blessing to all the people. The humblest citizen can do his part in the everyday walks of life. We need a revival of true patriotism, and the commencement of the second one hundred years of our existence as a Government is an auspicious time to study what true patriotism is and Inculcate the law for it among all citizens of the great republic The Fourth-of-July orator will please take a hint and vary the monotony of his speech by pointing out the duty of the true patriot in obeying the laws and being zealous in the promotion of every good work that will make the people happy and advance the general welfare of all. Xx the list of current topics which have received the attention of the press for sev eral weeks past m7 be mentioned the Chicago wheat deal, the collapse of the Fidelity Bank and labor Btrikes here and there throughout the country. In numer ous Instances there hsve been expressions of chuckling and gratification that the labor strikes were not successful, and fig nres more or less fabulous have been pub lished, showing the amount workingmen have lost while trying to improve their condition. Bat we have not been permit ted to see in print any approximation of the increased cost of bread to the working men of the country, brought about by the piratic1, villains In Chicago and else where, who sought to corner wheat The workingmen of the country had several causes for dissatisfaction. In on case they demanded pay for their work at the end of the week. In other cases they were dissatisfied with the nam ber of hours they were required to work. There were Instances when the working mea demanded an advance in wages, and still others when they resisted a decline in wages. It is not required that we should discuss, the cause of these labor, di.tur

anees, but where the facts are known, the workingmen had just cause for complaint, and if they did not succeed In obtaining justice it by no means follows that they were in the wrong. But, with regard to the eflorts to corner wheat, there is not one redeeming feature. The scheme, the purpose, the proceeditg, was unadulterated Econndrelism without one redeeming element It advanced the price of bread and reduced the buying power of the workingman's hard earned dollar, made it more difficult for him to live, deepened the shadows of poverty, added gloom to the poor man's home, and the rascals who engaged in the business were unable to command the funds of banking institutions not only the funds of the Fidelity Bank, but other banks in all parts of the country, the Fidelity concern being the most conspicuous in this particular case. True, there is a demand that such a bold pirate as Harper should be punished, but no demand is made that a hundred others equally infamous shall be sent to the penitentiary; nor is there any healthy denunciation of food cornering schemes, which ought to be treated as felonies. In such things a new departure in journalism is demanded, and will at no distant day be inaugurated.

THE MISSION OF THE BLOODY SHIKT ENDED. One significant feature of the recent discussion concerning the rebel flag matter was the total absence of any ill feeling on the part of the South. The time was when the Republican bosses could produce politcal capital very readily simply by irritatng a few Southern editors, and then in flame the Northern heart by repeat ing their illy considered utter ances. This time has passed, and one reason why the south will not be drawn into sectional controversies with Republican agitators; is that it is too busy building up new industries and increasing the general business of that section of the country. A very recent review of the industrial growth of the South demonstrates that the people have been earnestly at work within the last two decades, and that the fruits of this earnest work have been most marked during the last six months of the present year. The Manufacturers' Record, published in Baltimore, in its issue of this eek, gives the following encouraging nures: -First six months of -, 1SS7. Namber.

The building of cotton mills is again attracting much interest and capital. In nearly all the Southern States new mills are being erected, and especially In Sauth Carolina is this activity noticeable. Several very large mills are being put up and the older and smaller ones are being enlarged and otherwise improved. At Greenville a cotton mill to coBt $500,000 will soon be built Texas is also becoming largely Inerested in cotton manufacturing. The amount of capital (including capital stock of incorporated companies) represented by be new enterprises organized or chartered in the South, and in the enlargement of old plants and rebuilding of mills de stroyed by fire during the six months of 1837, as compared with the same time in 1S7G, was as follows:. .For kIx months of 1SS7. 18S6.

They are no idle tales invented by boom-makers, and they demonstrate the vastness of the recent revolution that has been quietly going on in the Southern States. The bloody shirt may flap and flutter for the Republican agitator, but it can be used no longer to retard the progress of the Southern States. The. New York World's Washington dis patch reports a Democratic Congressman as saying: "John Sherman, I see, is now an earnest adyocate of clyil service reformaccording to his speeches. I do not believe he is sincere. When he was Secretary of the Treasury I went to him and asked for the appointment of a friend to a clerkship as a personal favor. I knew Sherman very well, and he received me very cordially. When I spoke of the appointment how ever, he said: I would like to accommo date you, but this man is a Democrat I owe my position to the Republican party. That party has supported me, and I do not believe that I can appoint a Democrat to any office. You will understand and ap preciate my position, I think.'" John Sherman's position in civil service matters la that of every other prominent Republic an in the land, and that is, to keep Republicans in office and Democrats out of office. Whenever a Republican Is dismissed from office, fidelity to the Constitution is asserted and honored, and the in tegrity of the people spplanded. Thi Washington 8tar, of late date, re lates that a West Yireinian by the name of Brown had been in the city upon business connected with the Pension Bureau. It acnears that Mrs. Brown Wf9 the mother of thirty-six children, twenty of whom were boys and sixteen girls. Of the twenty boys, sixteen went Into the Union Army. Two were killed, and the remaining f iurtrea are pensioners. The two boys who

were killed entitle the mother to a pen

sion. General Black says the files of the office fall to show another record where the sixteen sons of one father and mother served as soldiers In the late war. Yes, or any other war.'ancient or modern. But without regard to war, any woman who can boast of having given birth to thirty-six children should be entitle to a pension, and a big one at that NATURAL GAS. The discussions relating to natural gas in Indiana are, in future, to relate to mere details its utilization, drilling, piping, cost etc The area of the "gas belt" is now pretty sharply defined, though the drill may enlarge it somewhat But as it is, the continuous gas area of Indiana, 3,000 square miles, is the largest In the world. In an interview with Professor S. S.Gorbey, of the State Department of Geolcfgy, we obtained the following data in re gard to the "paying" wells of Indiana up to the present, which is about as follows, the flow, in nearly every Instance, being the result of actual measurement. We give the number of wells, total and aver age product daily: Average No. Total prod-No. cu. ft wella. nrtrnhWt rr a!i lsner s station, uams f Arm l 2,000.000 S5,000,OOJ 10.000,000 1,000,000 2,000.300 20,000,000 6,000.090 11,503,003 6,000,030 1,000,000 2,000.0.0 2,500,000 25.000.C00 5,030,000 500.0JO 7,500,000 2.000,000 2,500,000 1,200,000 100,000 6,000,000 1.000,000 20,000,003 2,000,000 4.000,000 2,000.000 3,8s3,HsS 2,01,000 1,000 000 2.000,000 4,000,000 6,000,000 11,500,000 5,003,OJ0 1.000,000 1000,000 2,500 0 0 6,2S0,000 6,000,000 500,000 1,250.000 2.003,000 2.500.0UO 159,000 59,06.000.000 1,000,000 10.010,000 2,000,090 4,000,003 Koble&rille 9 s 1 KOEomo Xenia LaF outaine .

Such figures, however, are somewhat misleading, as in no instance where gas has been struck has the well giving the largest flow been duplicated in that locality. The wells at Anderson furnish a fair illustra tion of the correctness of this proposition. Anderson has four paying wells, the pro duct being respectively 11,000,000, 8,000, 000, 5,000,000 and 3.000,000 cubic feet Riving an average per well of 6,250,000 cubic feet per well; and in other localities where a number of wells have been drilled the same results follow. There are now, as will be observed, fifty-nine paying wells in the State, and about the same number are being drilled. It may be safe to say that four wells to the square mile of gas territory may be prudently drilled. This would give for an area of 3.000 square miles, 12.. C00 wells. If the average flow per well should be maintained, then it follows that the capacity of the Indiana gas belt is equal to 3G.O0O,0O0,0OO cubic feet every twenty-four hours. With such facta and figures in full view the question of supply ing Indianapolis with gas need not create uneasiness. It is to come in due time and in ample supply. Wasted: A Democratic phrase moncer who can come well recommended to preSare a platform for the use of the coming few York Democratic State convention. New York Tribune. About the last thing the Tribune, and papers of its ilk, want in this world, is a fully equipped "Democratic phrase mon ger." The duty of such a phrase monger would be to properly inform the Democratic State convention of New York, ai nearly as words could perform the task, what has been and what are now the distinguishing characteristics of the Republican party and the Democratic phrase monger could, we think, with great propriety, judging from the past end the present cull from the vocabularies of the world a few phrases indicative of what the Republican party is very certain to be in the near fut ure. The Democratic phrase monger, In selecting phrases, should be familiar with the birth of the Republican party, provided it was born. If the monstrosity was not born, then the phrase monger should offer some satisfactory explanation of the whys and wherefores of its existence. The coun try is humiliatingly familiar with the record the Republican party has made, and conclueded after a long trial that it was too monstrously corrupt to, be en trusted with iurther control of the Government, and booted it out of power. The people are all familiar with the facti relat ing to the power, corrcption and general cussedneBS of the Republican party, and yet a well-posted phrase monger might be of great service to the Tsew York Demo cratic convention, and to the country, by selecting such phrases as would embody a volume in a word or a sentence. As for instance, the Republican party Is a "bad egg." Thi New York World felicitates its readers upon the conviction ot Sharp, the boodle briber, and demands a sentence of ten years for the old corrnptlonist "Such a punishment," says the World, "will do much to kill the bold corruptions of the Washington lobbies, and will make the Huntingtons, Goulds, Fanchots and Sherrills less bold and defiant. It whl e'eanse the Slate Capital and scatter the lobby rascals, who this year held the Legislature in their grasp." Possibly, but we take a less rosy view of the case. If the law reached the entire gang, those who offer the bribes, those who accept bribes and those who go in on the "ground floor" In concocting the swindling schemes, there would be more hopefulness. But if we can't have a cloud burst of reform we must be content with a gentle shower. Bebator BnKRXAR is one of the mildest and gentlest of men when the occasion calls for amiability. Journal. .
