THEIR TROUBLES END

Qaiet TOimg of Kr. Rsjnclis isd Miis Pirki it Jeusraonvills. Tragic and rlUBmmbred Inciileuta Connected With the Lives or Uoih ltride and Grooui-An Interesting; Story. lConrier-Joumal . It. Bowen Reynolds and Miss Era Parts, both residents of Jefiarsonville, were married by the Rav. It. Roberts, pastor of "Wall st, methodist episcopal church, la that city, at the parsonage, Thursday night. While the eUair was not a secret one it waa eo quietly conducted that it did not sain publicity until jesterday morning. The marriage cf the couple bring? tD K emery two tragedies that occurred in Clark county, Indiana one the bloodiest butchery ever enacted there, and the other one of the most mysterious assassinations. One was partially solved, while the other remains a mystery. The bride is the only survivor of the Parks faniily.who resided between Charlestown and Ilenrjvilie, Ind., and on a Saturday night in October, 1S71, while asleep in their teds, were ail except cue brained wnb tn ax. The family consisted of a father, mother, two daughters and one bt,y. The head cf the household was a hifiLly itspectcd farmer, and owned a smhll place on which he lived, but was rot reputed to be very well c'X Parks and his family were faithfal attendants at a little country Sunday school located near their home, which met at I) o'clock in the morning. When the ParkB household did not put in an appearance oa the rnornirgf olio xiog the tragedy suspicion was aroused that something was wtoD?, and a neighbor or two went to the house to investigate; The doors in tae front part cf the house were found" to be locked, but through a torn place ia a window curtain the searchers could see the members of the Iamily ljln dead. A beck door was open and when the investigating party entered the dwelling they fsund 1'arks. his wife, one dangat-r, and the oa cold in death. ilissEvawas alive, but unconscious. Each one of the live had been ttracfe in the head with the pole of an axe, which was found saor-ly afterwards near the scene of the killing. In remarkably short time the new-of the horrible affair spread over the entire country, and the country roads leadiDg to the Park residence were lined with every kind of vehicle loaded with men, women and children bound for the home of the murdered family. An amateur detective asioclation was organized on the spot, and a vigorous t llort made to discover the persons who committed the crime. The crowd around the houie had grown until it numbered hundreds cf persons. In it was a negro named Johnson, who resided Close by. His actions were looked upon as suspicious, and he was placed under arrest. A confession was made by him which Implicated a negro preaahcr by the name of Taylor, and Charles Davis, another colored man, whe followed the occupation of a farmer, ana wfs always looked upoa as a quia'., inoffensive man. well liked In the commanlty. The mob, for that is what the ciowd bad formed itself into when Johnson was ar lested, started with him for Man'.phis. While on the road there Johnson stid thitt he had not told the truth and insis.ed that he knew nothing about, the killing. At Memphis he was hanged to a tel??raph pole nntil he was nearly dead, and when cut down he again reiterated his first confession. Johnson was detained until his alleged companions could be captured, when they were all taken to Jellarsonville, and thence to Charlestown, the county seat, for trial. Johnson again denied having anything to do with the crime. Excitement in the county was higher than ever before, and it was only a few nights until a party of a hundred lynchers rode into the quiet little town for the purpose of hanging the three suspected negroes. G. W. Baxter was then Bherifi, but W. H. Long was acting as jailor, and had possession of the keys to the prison. A demand was made for them, and refused. Time was precious to the mob, and three sturdy members were called out by number and made an attack on the jail door with sledge hammers and cold chissels. In a short time the lock gave way, and the prisoners, who were praying for mercy, were taken from the iail. Jobnson and Davis were placed in a wagon, but Taylor refused to submit to the orders of tne lynchers, and was carried to the vehicle, tied to it with a rope and dragged through the streets of the town. The site selected for the hanging was a dense forest two miles north of Charlestown on the Lexington road. To this place the men were taken and hanged. Johnson and Davis were suspended to one tree in a ravine, while Taylor was taken to another, a few feet away, in plain view of the road, but some distance from it. Taylor, on account of his religious views, was held in greater contempt than his companions, and he was stripped nearly naked and bia flesh burned in many places with are brands. It waa never known who composed the mob, as they were all masked, nor was it ever found out whether or not the negroes confessed to the crime. It is known that no evidence was afterward found that tended to show that they were tbe guilty persons, and it is the belief of hundreds of people that three innocent, harmless men were executed. Miss - Eva Parks, after months of sneering, at lat recovered, and waa the bride of Thursday night. The groom has a bloody tragedy attached to his history also. In September. 1 "(31, he was a conductor on the J., M. & I. railroad, and resided la what is known as the IVeema property, north of Jeffersonviile. While he was out on hia run one Saturday night in that month his wife was ahot while at her home and died the next day. The shooting has always been a mystery that the best detective talent in the country has been unable to solve. Mrs. Reynolds' statement before ehe died waa that some one had attempted to climb in her room through a window for the purpose of robbing the housa. Bhe detected the burglar, arose from her bed and was ia the act of securing a revolver, when aha waa ahot by the man in the window, whom aha described. Convicts and ex-con victs have given alleged clews to tbe perpetrators of the crime, but nothing ever came from them. There has, until the present time, never bees the slightest thread of evidence to warrant the-arrest of anv one. Ä'ter the death of hia first wife Keyno! . remained a widowernntll December, 1SS, when he married a Miss Bbadrich, of hhelby county, this state. When the wedding took place the bride was in the laat stages of consumption. 8ne went with the husband to Jeftersonvllle and in three wmii died. Royaolda purchased within the past 'week a neat little cottage in JeiTersonvlle, to which he took hia bride yesterday.

The Diabolical Pillow-Sbam. 1 Boston TransciptThe pillow sham! Who hu not been confronted by. this j ghostly, ghastly, starched nuisance, at he wearily aeught hit pillow In the lata boon of the night? Ia it aoggeairve of a prayer of ibankBgirlng? What ahaU he do with It, IfbtrfPUt U: mUii maj. mil

When did a pillow become objectionable to tbe eye by day or night? What honest, clranly motive can there be for its con ceslment? None, while soap and water are obtainable. Is it tbe sham merely to conceal rum t ied pillows, which are yet unsoiled?. Grant it but where is the man that ever touched a sham and left it less rumpled th&ii the pillow oa which he tossed ia hiph fever, after vainly trying to find a place of depoeit for the great starched thing with its stiff fancy edging? Vainly he tries to fold, or hang, or lay it over or npon anything within the room. Wrestle with it in his weary solicitude as he may, it crackles and cracks throughout its length and breadth, and accusingly meets hia dismayed aze in the morning a limp, wrinkled, unsightly mass. Who W23 the superfluous woman that invected that sham? What her race, na tionality, and social status Was it the cur.nicg device of a man hater? Surely it is a truly feminine Instrument of real torture so innocent, so Immaculate, yet so diabolical!

THE NATHAN MURDER. Ihe True Story Told at Last-"Billy" Forrekter Committed the Crime. The friends of the late John Jourdan, ex superintendent of police, are exceedingly indignant at some of the statements made inex-8upt. falling's book of "Recollections," says the New York Tribnr. Without charging it directly, Mr. Walling makes the broad insinuation that J -urdan had a guilty knowledge of tbe Nathan murder, and tbat his death, which occurred a few moiiths after that fearful crime wes committed, was ctnstd by mental excitement and nervousness. He gives a loog account of the murder and of the subsequent unsuccessful flort3 to hunt down and pnnieh its perpetrators, and concludes by leavirp grave doubts upon the came of '"Wash" Nathan, and by declaring toatthe rxurder "remains the greatest mystery of the fge." This Is all very extraordinary to come from SupL Walling. It is true that the public generally ooes not know vibo murdered Henjannn Nathan, and I doubt if the facts 1 shall relate, which have never been in print before, are known to more than a round dozen of men in New York, but I certainly supposed that Supt. Wallir g was one of the dozen. The fact that he isn't simply shows how zealously that astue detective. Inspector Byrne, keeps his owu counsel. The Nathan murder occurred in July, 1T. A few wee it s before George Kllis, a burglar, was anested by Sergt. McCullagh, now the captain of. the 5;xth precinct. McCul'.sph was a great favorite of Commodore Vanderbilt and had especial chargs of the Grand Central depot, lie charged Ellis with Koine sort of petty burglary. At this time Kllis was under sentence in Pennsylvania for twenty years, lie had escaped, and when McCullagh captured him requisition papers were got out for hia return to tt at state and officers were sent out here to arrest him and take him there in case be was acquitted of the charge pending. It was detmed best by his counsel to let bim take the shorter sentence, and accordingly fce was husiled o2 to Sing Sing, where he was in confinement when the Nathan murder was accomplished. Three das after the murder he wrote a letter to Jourdan, stating tbat he knew who had committed the crime and declaring tbat to show he knew be could pick out the "dog"' with which Nathan was etiuck. Jude Caroozo was a brother-in-law of tbe murdered man and Jourdan took tbe letter to him. He iued a rfuifiticn for Ellis and the convict was brought down from Sing Sing. lie promised to pick out the "dog" and to teii a I he knew it Jourdan wou'l ue his i tluence to secure for the burglar a pardun. Jcurdan promid. Then be colli f.ed about Efty "doss," new, old, bloodtitaii ed and battered, and among them he p!:ed the Iron bar, besmeared with blood, Fl; ch was found by Fred Nathan the morning after tne murder at the front door of Ids father's bouse. Ellis gave a glance at the array before him and laid his linger on thtt identical "d0." "This is the one," be raid. TLen he told bis tale, lie said that "Billy"' Forrester, ' Johnny" Irvinz, and himcelfhed arrang;d lo crick tbe safe in Mr. .Nathan's room. Young Kelly, the Bon of the housekeeper, was to let them into the house. Kilis' arrest by Sergt. McCuüah had prevented his participation in the jub, but, of course, Forrester and Irving hod f.jus oa wun it. Jourdan made desperata eüerts to capture thesrasca's, but r'tLr of them could be found high or low. Tte superintendent was already a eick nun, and bis work and worry undoubtedly did much to hasten the ecd. lie died before t ither was caught. Finally Irving was heard of in California, wbe nre he went on a so called confession. But Irvim was not tbe murderer, and his confession simply eerved, as he meant that itsLould, to protect him, while it implicated no one else. Nearly two years after the crime Forrester was found in Florida. It is tirgular tbat in his account of the a3a!r Mr. Walling makes no mention whatever of Forrester. He was brought on to New York. At that time he wss wearing a mustache and goatee. The only evider ce egainst him waa tbat of an honest, sincere servent girl, who saw him come out of the home early cn the morning Nathan's body was found. Forrester waa put among a crowd of men, and she was asked to id r'ify the one she saw. "I should say," she replied, "that waa the ir an. Hut I cannot swear to it, lit the man I saw had no beard at all." Tfc identification being incomplete, he was ..'wed to go, and he was promptly taken to Joliet prison, where he was waD- d to serve an unexpired sentence, and where, I think, he died. It ia known, howev r, that he confessed his guilt to his count ri. and none of the Nathans suspect "Wash." These facts are all in tbe possession of Inspector Byrnes, to whom they descended as a legacy, and one would suppose that Mr. Walling could not be ignorant of them. A Sad Case. I Courier-Journal.

This book contains a chronological dramatic record of every day in the year 1837, also a chronology for the year, a catalogue of books and dramatic articles; the text of the interstate commerce law, together with some account of its effect upon theatrical business; a complete list of all recognized traveling and resident organizations in the United States, and a directory of the theatrical profession in America, The illustrations are portraits of John T. Raymond, Jenny Lind, Marie Aimee, Alice Gates and William F. Sheridan, and a picture of the actors' memorial monument, unveiled last June in New York. The book is valuable to managers, actors, dramatic critics, play-writers and all who take an interest in theatrical matters. A valuable treatise on physical culture bss recently been published by Fowler & Wells of New fork. The book is written in a direct, popular style, and the exercise advised can be taken in one's house. It aims at symmetry of development, beauty, health and longevity. The system proposed extends to all parts of the body. It demonstrates the good and bad results to be gained from participating in various exercises, euch as rowing, horse-back riding, walking, etc.; the injurious eflects from the use of heavy weights, benefits to be derived from the use of light weights, and athletic sports in generaL The author answers gTeat many questions that are constantly being asked, such as "Does maseage develop and strengthen tbe muscle? "Is there a limit to muscular development?" "Is it possible to gain an abnormal development?" "What is meant by being muscle-bound ?" "How should a person, breatha while racing?'!, Wb.at

kind of food is beet for us to eat?" "What form of bathing is best?" "How can I beet reduce my weight, or how increase it?" with many other similar questions. Advice is included regarding the voice, for the care of the complexion, how to walk gracefully, etc. The full title of the volume is "Physical Culture for Home and School, Scientific and Practical." Tne volume Includes SCO pages, neatly bound in cloth. "Home Aeain" is & characteristic story by George MacDonald. That is to say it is quite innocent of plot, scant of adventur a, smooth and even in style, and altogether to be recommended to those who are in need of a literary sedative. The story is of a country bred youth, who bethought that he was a poet, and went down to Locdcn to sing his song to tha world. Bat the world refused to listen; indeed the editors refused to give it a chance totsten; at d our hero.af ter many struggles and much tribulation, turned critic and didsuprficial end unjust criticism after the macrjer of hia kind. In due time be renounced this a vo datier, went back to the country, turned farmer , again and proved h'.mself a philosopher by abandoning cheerfully the hope of a literary career, because he had learned that he had no message to deliver to the world. There is a Jenson in tbe story which tbe grand army of poetasters, who are tbe baoa of the editor's life, would do well to heed. Here it is. as our hero works it up, while merrily following his plow: How fchall he sing who hath no son?, He lauRh who hatU no mtrth? Will strongest cannot wake a song! it Is no use to strive or long To Birg with them that have a song And mirthless lauga wiih mirtti! Though sa l, no must confront the wrou?, And for the right face any thror.g, Waiting, with patier e Kweet and strong. Until God g'oty fills the earth ; Then shall he sing who bad no son;. He laugh who hal no mirth. (New York D. Appleton t Co. Indianapolis Bowen-Merrill Co ) "California of thT"iöuth," by Walter Lindley, M. D. and J. P. Widney, M.

All the advantages of the couutry are presented in gloving color5,andthere'is nothing to icd'cite that it has any disadvantages at all. It is not to oe believed that Southern California is qui'e such a paradise as our authors would have it appear. New York: (D. Appleton A Co. Indianapolis: Bowen-Merrill Co.)

SHE SAW WASHINGTON. Mie. Nancy MiMer ot Cumberland Died at the ,lgef 10. Cumberland (Md.) Letter. The death rt Mrs. Nancy Miller of this city, SaEdayYioVhe lOsth year of he a?e, removes tbe; oldest living resident of Allrgheny county, and the last one of its citizens who saw George Washington at Ft. Cumberland, Oct. 10. 1701. Mrs. Miller died at the home of hereon, Henry Millr. She was born at Greencastle, Pa., Jane 17, 1780, and came here with her parent3When ehe was abont five years of age. Her husband, Abraham Miller, died in 13:0. Mrs. Miller's memory was clear and wonderful, and in conversation she was lively, readily answering every question and supplying incidents contemporary with her girlhood to establish any statement that she made. Mrs. Miller's husband was a tinner, and she was the mother of eleven children. She has two eons living, one of tbem, her eldett, being in the West, where she vitited him a few years ago. Mrs. Miller was a witness to the farewell icsptction of the troops stationed in Cumberland by Gen. Washington in tha year 1791. He had his headquarters at old Ft. Cumberland, on the beautiful site now occupied by Kmanuel Protestant episcopal church, which overlooks the Knobly and Wills niounta'cs. the Potomac river, and the Chesapeake A. Ohio canBl. These troops had been conrentrsted at this point on the occasion of tho whisky riot in Pennsylvania, and it is more than probable that they occupied old Fu Cumberland, for Mrs. Miller spoke of its occupancy about that period, had a distinct remembrance of the large garrison flag and tbe stern sentinels on duty, who relused her and the other children with her admlttanca into tbe military bounds. The building in which Washington had bia headquarters near Ft. Cumberland, is still standing, having been removed by Christian leaner, a farmer, some years ago, a short distance from Cumberland. It waa in this locality that George Washington obtained hia first lessons in the art of war, and for the first time beheld a body of troops systematically encamped. There be spent weeks In education of the camp drill and familiarizing himself with those duties which were to become so prominent a part of bis struggle for freedom. The most important day of all, which Mrs. Miller treasured in her memory to the day of her death, was the day of final reView, Oct. 13, 1704, on which Washington bade adieu to the troops and to the citizens gathered to witness the parade. She had passed through a severe illness, and her lather, an indulgent man, finding that she was weak, carried her in his arms a part ot the distance between her home and the encampment. The soldiers were aligned npon the western bank of Willow Creek. Gen. Washington was mounted upoa a white or gray charger, and hia personal appearance and dress were distinctly remembered by this remarkable old lady. Washington, she said, rode up and down the lines with his hat slightly elevated, and occasionally making a graceful Inclination of the body, facing the command at the time of salutation. Afterward the command marched in review, and Washington raised his bat as a salutation while tbey - passed. He was loudly cheered by the soldiers and the people who were present from all the surrounding couaties of Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Gens. Lee and Morgan were both present and participated. The last citizen to tell the tale of Washington' farewell review has gone to her long Lome. Prepared to Serve the People.

BLINDED UV l'UKJU DICK.

Some Striking Situation Into Which. Well Informed Persona Are Led. There is no end of witchcraft and deception. Years aro persons suspected of tho "strange infatuation" were thrown into the water if guilty of. witchcraft, they would drown. For many years the world was shocked At such inhumanity of man to man, but if wc weie to declare that people are persecuted, to-day quite as remorselessly as were the so-called witqhes of old, our Etatcmcnts might be received with great incredulity. Hut it is a fact. If you do not believe It, enter any one of tho schools of medical practice, and attempt to use a preparation which the code docs not recognize, or even to recommend indirectly any popular remedy, such, for instance, as Warner's celebrated kidney remedy, and thea relate your experience. Then you'll admit the fact. Let U3 be frank with you. nVider. "We tell you that this is downright bigotry. Merit de mands and is entitled to recognition, wherever t 1 Tr feam oiogists fen U3 that diamonds must always be found in sand, would you not be a fool, if you found one in gravel,notto take it and "realize" on it ? 1 our friends would :'. ! oil foolli. The trouble the : lors is that they can't cure advanced di-ea;e. of certain form, and they know it. And jet tliey will not :il!ov tlicusc of any outside proprietary medicine, which they know Las cured the dicu-. For instance: Kidney die,ise lias no marked individual symptom. It produces all sorts of symptoms of the commonest liea?c3. Not beins able to treat the disease itself willi success, the bigoted physician treats these symptonn ! Jlut what pood docs that do? In order to stop the freshet, you must stop the Hood! It won't do to try brushing it away with a broom. Dr. J. G. Holland, whom all the world admired as a teiieher of eense, wrote in Seriluier's Monthly: "It is a fact that many of the bist proprietary medicines of the day are more successful than many j hysicians, and most of them were first discovered and used in actual medical practice." Dr. llobson, of the Royal Navy of England, enthusiastically indorses Warner's safe cure, as indeed do many hundreds of thousands all over the world. The late Dr. Dio Lewis, who almost never ised medicines, commended it highly and said if he had any kidney disease lie would u?e it. This evidence is conclusive. l'aralysls, consumption, pneumonia, apoplexy, heart disease, general debility, rheumatism, ail these common disorders are often only symptoms of kidney discaV. Instead of admitting their ina'1 i 1 ; t - to cure tliiä disorder, doctors give their attention to the symptoms. If they cure ohp, another comes, and finally death takes the case out of their hands.

THE HERO OF FT. SUMTER Air. Holman Suppoits the Proposition to Iurrease Sirs. Anderson's Pension, Congressional Record. Mr. Ilolman cf Indiana The truth is that both parties, the republican party which came in and the democratic party which was going out, and the two grat characters representing each party, Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Lincoln, shrank from beiDg responsible for what all men feared would be, and proved to be, the opening Of a terrible fratricidal war. It is dne to history, I think, to say that both of those great statesmen alike ahrank from tbe responsibility of an act which might lead to war. I need not dwell upon tbe circumstances under which Gen. Anderion, in October lstiO, with large social connections at the soutb, and especially in Scuth Carolina, was sent to Charleston harbor. The fact, however. Is. he was sent there. It was charged npon him by the Soutb, and the North for the time hardly bad the manhood to deny it, that the act by which he removed bis troops from their dtfenseless position at Ft. Moultrie, to the comparatively strong post of Ft. Sumter, was in iteeif an act of war, yet as a loyal f olditr he could do nothing else; but it is certain that Gen. Anderson's act on that occasion denounced on the one side, with no voice for a time in its defente raised on the other, either here at the capital or throughout the country on tire whole is one of the most satisfactory events of the fearful struggle, and is now a source of satisfaction to the South as well as to the North, for the loyal prudence of his conduct, left no ground for charging aggression on tbe part of tbe government If be bad shrunk from the post of duty and evacuated tbat tort, or remained in a position that was indefensible, Instead of doing tbe best be could to defend the flag and bono; of his country, the ttouth and the North would feet all alike to-day that the nation was in the beginning humiliated. It wouid have been a fearful blow to our history. Harrassed on one side, unsupported on the other, tbe representatives of the South; demanding the surrender, he gave utterance to the declaration that be never would furrender tbe fort tili it could be done with honor to his conntry. Till it would be so done, he declared that, rather than abandon it he would be buried beneath Its shapeless ruins. Those words rang through the land and inspired that heroism which was later displayed and aaved the Union. Those great generals of great and prolonged tommand, of whom the whole nation is proud, were placed untr different circumstances. However much we may admire their heroUm and devotion to country, we know that tbey were buoyed up on all sides; the sympathies, encouragement and admiration of the whole people of the North gathered around their great commanding officers, and the eyes of the people, not only In tbe North but in the South and of the civilized world, were npon them. There was everything to uphold and sustain them. But here was a general, stand Ing solitary and alone, apparently without the support of his government on the one aide, and denounced by the other; with tha feax la bis hx that he might be tha

cauce of precipiiatlcg his country into a bloody fraternal war. -This was tbe awful position in which he was placed. I submit tfcere is .nothing in the whole line of our history which furnishes an instance of gretUr devotion to country in more embarrastiog circumstances than was Gen. Anderson. The prudence, patriotism and fortitude displayed hay no pirallel in our history, all facs oonsidrred. ' A WOMAN ON THE TARIFF.

AFarmei's Wife Who Sees lhrou;h tbe Protection Humbug. I Farmers' Voice. At tbe farmer's institute at Dixon, whicn closed yesterday, one of the papers which attracted great attention was thit of Mrs. J. II. Elliott of Princeton on "The Farmer's Wife." Among other things Mr3. Elliott said: "Sometimes the farmer's wife, when she Bits down to meed just for a rest her husband's woolen socks, reflects that if her corgrefsman had not levied such a tax on thai pair of socks, sae would have money to buy a new pair, instead of spending her t me on the open territory of the o!d ones. "She thinks also what a relief it woali be if tbe were not compelled to nse tbe I ntire proceeds of her butter and e'sin paying the tax on tbe salt she puts in the butter and on tbe suar -sbe uses in her coffee and fruit. The witty senator from Karjtfts, Mr. Ingalls, gives as tba only reason why weinen should not vote that they have sente enough not to want to vote. I contra i am jun stupid enough to want to ca&t a ballot on the salt and su.r question, and if I ever get to voting I will by no means stop at salt and sugar. "Did wonun vo'e in this country I think it could be r-l;ed upon tbat the tax would be rcinovtd from what we use In the kitchen tnd reaain upon whiskey and tohscci. "On- word more to the farxcra of Uli 10!; i f jour condition ia such ai is generally CO' ft FSf d if th condition ot yosr wives approaches what I have ludici'.ed, may I r ot ask thit you turn diivn your coat cellar, shake the hay-ed from your hsir, si d do something.

Agriculture ia not recognized in the phrase 'protection of American industries.' while it is the American industry of all others. It is the Industry which is taxed to tut port all others. Speed the day when tbe Illinois farmer shall learn enough to know it. It is the American industry which you are called upon to loak out for and protect, and if yon don't do it you may be sore no one else will. The way to pro tect it is to correct the unjust legislation and taxation that are indicted upon you almost without your protest.

HiifcH Uougherty and O. J. Glrssner. The Hon. Hugh Dougherty of Biuüton, one of the best known and most popular citizens of northern Indiana, and who will be a candidate before the democratic con vention for the nomination for auditor pf ttate, islt the Grand hcül. 2ur. Dougherty says that in tbe northern part of the state the democrats are ail in line and ready tor the approaching contest, and he has no fears of the result. He thinks that the rartyin that Eedion is pretty well divided between Mjer3 and ifat3on for governor. Judge O. J. Gleppner of Shelbyville, who ia a candidate for the democratic nomination for attorn? y-general, is also at the Grand hotel. Tbe judse is makinz an active canvacs and is greatly encouraged with his prospects. He" says that in all of tbe counties that he has visited, the democrats ar6 united and harmonious and are confident of victory in November. Judge G'esfner, if nominated, would doubtless command the full strertgh of his party and the respect of the opposition. The Chief Justiceship. I Anderson Democrat: It goes without saying that the democratic party of Indiana is a unit in favoring ex-Senator McDonald as a proper person to wear the ermine ot tbe highest office in the government. Mr McDonald is in the full maturity of his intellectual powers which enables him to grasp and master the most complex problems of statecraft. Asa United StatC3 senator he won the high esteem of hia peers and maintained the renown of his state. As a jdrist his reputation is national and his attainments euch as to give the hiebest dignity te the profession ot law. In private, es in public life his record is without a blemish. However illu;trious may have been the names of the distinguished men who have adorned this high position, Mr. McDonald's name, would not be dimmed by th9 brilliancy ot their luster, lie is rrgarded as pre eminently a safe man. and would contribute his full share of public confidence. He is the ideal man of tbe Central and Western states. He would bring to tbe discharge of bis duties qualities of head and heart which would contribute to the dignity of the position, as well as to that full measure ot success for which democrats and all good citizens so earnestly desire. His appointment would add to the luster of Mr. Cleveland's administration. Of all the distinguished men whose names have been mentioned in this connection we know of none so thoroughly equipped as Joseph E. McDonald. His appointment would be a titting and merited recognition of a ripe scholar, a profound lawyer, and an honest man. - The Farmer's Kurilen. (Labor Signal. According to Mr. A, Curtis' mortgage record, as reproduced in the New York Times, the farms of Indiana are mortgaged to eas'ern banks and capitalists for 000.0C0. Think of it! Türe huudred and nicety-eight millions of dollars! And on this, at 6 per cent, they must annually pay es interest the sum of ÜvSsO.OOO! But vtry few of them secured loans at 6 per cent. Many of them pay 10 per cent., while the balance of them pay ft per cent. Afraid of the Governor, Lafayette Journal. The republican party is living in mortal fear tbat Gov. Isaac P. Gray will be the democratic nominee for vice president. They have not forgotten the Gray-Calkins contest. Gray can make short work in Indiana of any man the opposition can put up. Indiana is as safe with Gray as it was with Hendricks. Adam's Fall. Chicago N'ews.f Gen.
