We print this morning a very intorcstInz interview with cx-Ser.ator McDonald, Trhrt bas inst returned to his home in this i ritv atter an absence of several months m i 4 i "Washington. There is probably no man in the country who is better informed thut 1r. McDonal a.s to the drift of events at the national rapital. His large acquaintance among public men, his-lon; exigence in political life and his sound judgment us to wen and polic'es, give his opinions upon any political topic especial value. Tjc ex-senator takes a very onrouraffinsr v lew of the situation. He believes the prompt cts of democratic M'.cccs J " i in the presidential election arc excellent, and, of course, regards the nomination of Mr. Cleveland as assured. He is hope- i ful of the passage by the hoiie of the Mills tariff bill, whiab, be says, is gaining in favor every day. lie is not sanguine, however, as to its fate in the souate. Speaking-of the chief justiceship, Sor-a-tnr McDosALU nredicts that no ne will to be apjioiuted to that office who is more J - - - - i man nriv-iivt; rears tun. j.ntr i-Avriiiiini i 11 t.-m. himself is splendidly equipped for the chfef justiceship, smd if he were with in the age limit he has himself named, j would be an almost ideal subject for that j high dignity. It will be fortunate for the , country if one fchall be named for this j post who, to the qualification of com para- j tive youth, adds the" other requisites for j k;.yK ;it,i;;-il w-iitruri with whicli lr. i McDonald is so richly endowt thorough knowledge of t he law, large ex o rience at the bar, a finely developed judicial faculty, dignity of character and unquestioned integi'.ty. The Mistakes of "Vorkini;nien. The Labor S!(Put says: The reu1t of the eb-ction in this city is not enennracrinc to the friends of the labor party. A falling oll'in the vote from l.ii'io to -Mi is not calculated to inspire confidence in the future of the movement, the resiut was not uuexnei:teq, inee liitle iutt-rest in the contest was in snifefted by the working people in general, 'l l.is falling of.' cannot be uvnl ed to any cause peculiarly loenl. In Terre Haute the vote of 1,100 cnt (or Kldi.t: for civ ::iarh:d one year fro melted to less than n Miod.iy, aeeordiug to the press reports. Hie niacniJieetit union labor vote of H.toO c:t at Cincinnati last year 'windJed to 3,1:20. Jnt how well the party ca fred in the country precim ts throughout the 6tate where tickets. h;.d been nouiinaicd will not be known for several days. It is very s-t range tbat all w orkingmen can not sec, a majority of them do, that, in organizing for ditinct political action, they are playing directly into the hands of the corjioratiuns and monopolies. Tho natural politieal home of the laboring man is the democratic party. It i3 the party of the people, while the republican party is tbe party of the money rings. The democratic party is, and always has been, devoted to principles which, if faithfully applied, will bestow the largest measure of prosperity and happiness upon the masses that can be obtained through the instrumentality of government. If all the wage-workers in the country adhered to the democratic I'irty, as a majority of them do, the power of monopoly in the United States would soon be broken. The Tacts in the Cai-naban Case. ineion nayneotf;wpu-M u cim..u of the Caknaiian case which is both orignal and unique. Thus the fio:ttr: Gen. CAKNAIIAN ptd-hhed an nhstniet of the election laws of Indiana in circular form and circulated it on the day of elation. His motive no one impugns, lie knew the danger 1 in wliick the returns were, and added a warninp in regard to the inaiiner of n porting ihim. Tni wh! brought under soiii- t-eloi:cal provision of the law into the Iij:ht of an olici.M? and (leu, Caknaiian is to I: tried lor it. N miibible or fair-minded person can think or a moment that he is morally guilty ot olle'iding the laws, that his alleged ol.tu-e was a real oifeuse, or tliat he deserves punishment or even censure for it. Now the facts are that the Carxaiiaxcircular was not an abstract of the election laws of Indiana. It purported to be 6Uih, but )t was really a cunningly worded notice to the republican inspectors and judges to secure and retain possession of the tally sheets, in violation of the plain provisions of the law. The circular was not issued in the interest of an honest canvass, but the reverse. If there is any honest man acquainted with the facts, who does not question Caknaman's motives in this business, it is because he believes him to hare lx-cn a mere tool in the hands of the Slick Six, in whose fertile brains the idea of the circular doubtless originated. .This is the plain truth about the Carxaiiax casf. A Partisan Crusade. It is plain to any person who has eyes to see and cars to bear that the prolonged crusade against the trustees of the insane ho.tital is not inspired by a desire to uromotc the public good. If it were, and '

if it were conducted by proper methods j and in buch a way as to promise pood results, it would have the cordial sympathy and active support of The Sentinel. This journal owes a duty to its . party, and it also owes a duty to the public. These duties need never conlliet. There is no party obligation nnni binding upon every honest man and every honest newspaper than the obligation to held every repref f ntativo of tho party nerving in an oflu ial capacity, to tho mot rigid responsibility tor Ills official actions. There is no policy more short-sighted, more mistaken, more disastrous in the long run, than the policy of screening, apologizing for or defending tho wrongful acta of any public official or private citizen lecause of his political aflilUtious. The Skxtinkl does not and will Ed -ursue vnch a policy. In the interest of wl government and the public welfare it stands a ready to expose and as free to condemn wrongdoing by democrats as by republicans.' - ... I'.ut it does not follow tbat The SkntijceI. must accept as true every charge gainnt. the probity, the capacity, or the efficiency of democratic officials which partisan malice or personal malignancy n?ffv invent or disseminate.

T?ie Northwest Terrilory--t7S5-.1888 The event now being commemorated at the pleasant little city of Marietta, O., i-

' j one of thj tnrst important and interestin..1 i in modern lustorv. The colonization os

the Northwest ni irked an epch in th i hi.-torv of the North American continent an I in I . "-d of the wh jIj Western world Tho opening up a:i I settlem-ntof this va.-.t territory, which was destined to b.-co-iie the eat of tive ppuloui and powerful states, forever dedicated to freedom, was the b 'ginning of a new era in the Iif -of the viglirTii-sp.ikiu race. It was the first step in that wonderful m-irch acresthe virgin coatin-nt which luvs filled th. century with its achievements, an 1 which rnnt bo pronounced among the gran lest triuailis which civilized min ha- w n over tha forces of nature and siwirery. 0.13 hundred yoars ago to-lay the territory which is now em braced within the" states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Miehigm aal Wisconsin was almost literally terra incognita. It had b'-'en the scene of desperate warfare between the aboriginals and tho English and French, snd m re recently had witnessed gome of the nwt ranjnimry and memorable contests in tbe long strudle between those two nations for its possession. In this fierce conflict he Indians had been arrayed first on the oac side and then on the other, but alwr.ys with the result of aggravating the crud and hideous features of the ptrugle. and introducing ele ments of atröcitv and fiendishness which combine to make up one of the darkest and bloodiest chapters in the history of tlx 3 world. Cut, save the Indians and the English and French sol diers, to huii in footsteps had ever trod the. sp.vcious prairie of the North west territory, threa led its denso forests, or followed the tanks of its great rivers, I nYi'rntlno nnlv tlioe of ft few liardv ad- .,, fMM ,,. I mM,i HUIUIIIO t 11.1," excitement or gain in its perilous and dis mal waste. The occupation of this vast area by an intelligent, enterprising, ( t onfearing peopb"1, inured to hardships, trained to habits of thrift and self-denial, resolute, determined, persevering, indomitable, is a landmark in our annals, defining. is it does, the enlof the colonial period and the b"ginning of that great cycle of expansion and development which has transformed a collection of weak, puny, insignificant provinces, loosely held together by a "rope of sand'' into a strong, compact, vigorous nation of idxty millions of people, and one of the foremost powers on the globe. When the revolutionary war ended the British garrisons still hell the few posts scattered in the great valley of the Mississippi, between the Ohio and the lakes, some of which had been wrested by (ireat Britain from th? French. By the treaty of peace Great B-itaiu had ceded thfs territory to the Confederation, but its garrisons remained several years pending the fulfillment of cert-tin stipulations touching debts due -English indivi luals by Americans, and other m Itters. Th jro were a few French settlement .at or near the military posts, but with this exception the territory was peopled only by Indians. The title to the country ' was claimed by several states, and it was nof until they had waived their claims and ceded the land to the general government that steps were taken for the organization of the Xorthwcfct territory. On tbe VAU of July, 17.S7, the famous ordinance was enacted. The tilth article provided that the territory should 'contain not leas than three nor more linen five states. The western state Miall W tomuled by the Mississippi, the Ohio, and Wabash river; a direct line drawn from 1 lie Wnbasli , niul Post Vincent, due north to the territorial line between the United States and Catuula; nnd ly the said . territorial line Co the I.ake of the Wood and : Mississippi. The middle Mates hu!l 1 bounded by the said direct line, the WuUish, from 1'ost Vincents to the Ohio, by the Ohio, by a direct line drawn due north from the mouth of the Great Miami to the naid territorial line, and by th maid territorial line. The earij Maus shall be bounded by the at mentioned d;rect line, the Obio-renuayl-Ivunia, and the said territorial line. It wa.s provided tbat one or two states coulj be subsequently established north of the parallel of tho southern end of Lake Michigm. Whenever o'i'j of these new states contained 0 ),0 f rey inhabitants it was to bo.'a-'lajitti'd by its delegates into tho congress of tho United States on an equal footing witb tho orina) states in all respects whatever." It was further to have tho powr to "form a perminent constitution an I state governm ?nt,M pro vided it BhouM.be-"republican an J in conformity to the principle! contained in these arti(-!c3." Jn thj event that it was "consistent.. with the general interest of the confederacy"- it was stipulated that the Ktatc mij!it",be. admitted to congress even before it had 00,000 free inhabitants. The inoct important and famous artido

i the ordinance was the sixth. and last, hieb, reads: Then? shill be neither slavery nor involuntary Tv'nudo in the said territory, otherwise than i the punishment of crimes, wherefore the irty shall have been duly convicted ; provided, iwuys, that any person escaping into thes.une. com w horn labor or service is lawfully claimed i Hny one of the original states, such fugitive i:iy be lawfully reclaimed, uud conveyed to the ersoii claiming his or her labor or services as .foresaiJ. Shortly after the adoption of this ordiance the constitution was framed, and it vent into effect two years later. The first higiish settlement in Ohio dates from one i und red years ago this spring, when Maictta was founded. The population of he five states that have been carved out f the Northwest territory was, La I SSO, s follows:

Telegraphy by Induction. The Electrical llcviar, in its hist issue, ives an interesting account of the use of rain telegraphy in a blizzard. Duriug lie recent unprecedented snow storm in he East, the train service on all railroads vas completely demoralized. Telegraph vires were down in all directions, poles vere prostrate, anil for several days IV-' on and New York were almost entirely tit off from communication with eacn ther and w itli the outside world. Brief nessages were exchanged between Boston md New York at long intervals, but they ook a circuit of several thousand miles icross the Atlantic ocean and back, before 'hey reached their destination. In thus mcrgency the system of induction telegraphy received a severe, test. Itwasinroduccd some time since on the Lehigh v'alley railroad, which was completely nowed under during the storm. While t was in progress a train on this oad was wrecked near the station f Three Bridges, five men being killed tnd a Large number injured. The accident vas caused by several engines and a plow .mining into a snow drift. The regular elegraph service of the road was wholly noperative, but the single steel wire, trung upon stout poles, of the induction rain telegraph system remained intacf, ilthough buried in snow. This medium flered the only means of communication between the railroad officials at Bethlehem md the wrecking and relief trains sent out from time to time An operator was on board of each of these trains, with tho necessary equipment, and communication with headquarters was constantly maintained. Medical aid for the injured and assistance for the removal of the dead were by this means promptly obtained. But for the induction system relief could not have been had for hours, perhaps for days. Certainly thero has been no more wonderful application of electricity for the transmission of intelligence or for anv other purpose. It seems wellnigh incredible, but it is quite the fact, that dispatches may be sent from a train on the Western prairies running at a poed of sixty miles an hour, to New York or Boston, and an answer received on the train within a few minutes. In this system only a single line is used. It is suspended from stout wooden poles, firmly and strongly set into the ground, and without cross arms. A line so constructed is almost proof against the elements or other destructive agents. The train carries a complete telegraphic apparatus, which occupies a very small space. The wire extends to the roof of the car, whence the electric current leaps to the wire at the side of the track. The atmosphere is a reliable conductor for so short a distance, and the system, according to all accounts, works to perfection. It is probable that within five years induction telegraphy will be' in universal nse. The sending of telegrams to and from lightning trains and ocean steamers in transit will be as common and matter-of-course a thing as telephoning to-day. It doesn't take long for novelties to cease to bo novelties in this rapid country. w York Tribune" Iiliocy. Tho New York Tribune is still hysterical over the Mills tarilf bill. It concludes a delirious leader on the subject with this characteristic outburst of idiocy: But what conceivHule reason have the democratic farmers and the mugwump manufacturers to be indignant? They deliberately entrusted the control of the uovcrniiient to Mr. MILLS and his associates. It is childish folly for thciu to pretend that they did not know how ignorant Mr. Mills and other Southern leaders were of the industrial needs of the country. These 6a me men had been noisily talking on the subject in every campaign and every m ssion of congress for years, and the mugwump and democratic voters thereupon proceeded to elect a democratic majority in congress, as they had elected a democratic president. The lndividua.1 for whom they voted, like President i'i irvF.t.Avn himself, had pretended to Ire "as good protectionists as anybody,' and these voters were filly enough to beheve them. Then theso individuals, elected by votes of farmer and manufacturers, went to Washington and voted for Mr. Carlisle jw speaker, knowing that he had proniMed to pack the committee on ways and means in the interest of Mr. Clevfla.no and the free-traders. They have their reward, itml it nil ine losg coum .mi on mcui aumc, uubody would hav oeeusioo to shed a singlo tear. Of which it Is to be said that the democratic farmers and mugwump manufacturers certainly have no conceivable reason to be indignant, and as a matter of fact they are not indignant. On the contrary, the mugwump manufacturers, and agoodmriy manufacturers who are not mugwumps, are highly enthusiastic over the proposition to give them untaxed raw materials, and thus enable them to com-' pete on something like equal terms with foreign rivals who are not handicapped by heavy taxes on raw materials. Tlte democratic farmers loa man are also delighted at the prospect of being relieved from some of the oppressive taxes now extorted from them for the benefit of . Betern monopolies. Nor have we heard of anybody who voted the democratic ticket at the last election who i3 pretending that ho "did not know how ignorant Mr. Mill and other South-e-n leaders were of the industrial needs of the country." Neither has the Tribune. There is no such person. The people who elected President Clevhlaxu and the democratic majority in rongmss did so because they wanted precisely Kitcii reform in the revenue system of tho country ,fl , the president and the democrats in congress are trying to carry out. They wanted a little more reform than Mr. Mills oilers iu his bill, but they are glad to sec a beginning made. ' ' And they are unanimously of the opinion that Mr. Mills aud his tariff reform col-

leagues from the South have show a very intelligent comprehension of th industrial needs of the country, and tlui if both houses of congress were in tho con trol of such men the back-bone of monop oly in the United States would soon b broken. Neither is it true that President Clevk land ami the democratic leaders in con gress pretended to be "as good protection ists as anybody" when they were cand: dates before the people. If they had don so they couldn't possibly have been elect ed. An exception,-of course, is to I made of Mr. Haxdw.i.. Ho certainl. claimed to le "as good a protectionist a anybody." He is as good a protection as anybody. .The tarill' rings of Tennsy! vania keep him in. congress for that rea son, and for that ' reason alone, and h poses as a demoenit simply because in tha guise he can be of more service to hi mast .'rs than in any other. S much io the straw man whfeb the Tribune has sc

up aJid which it is belaboring with sucl an amusing assumption of earnestness.A Few WonU Abont Oursclf. We are not given to making apologies but it may not be amiss to remiul th .public that The Sentinel, during the' las few days, has been produced under dh'Ji culties of which: the uninitiated in th mysteries of practical journalism can hav no comprehension. It is no small task t make a completo mechanical revolutio; . ia an establishment of this magnitude, t introduce - stereotyping and other new. processes, to make the transition from oa press to another of an entirely dilleren pattern, and constructed and operated o: an entirely di Terent principle, to aubsti stitute a complete new outfit of type for a: oil one, to add thousands of names to th subscription lists and clasd them to I all this and the. mmy other things tha have been done in The cVvtixeL' ollie during the past week, without oruittin; an issue or missing a ni-iil.

As for The Weekly Sentinel well, that speaks for itself What do von think of it? A Shameful Iwuiiient. The reportof tho republican minority o' the committee on ways and means on th Mills taiiir bill is a sorry compound o demagogism, balderdash, and falsehood It is Well calculated to make an intelligen' mao tired, and an honest one mad. It i without the first essential of a goo 1, otveu a passable argument. Its ussump tions are false, its logic is vile, its conclu sions transparently erroneous. It is no j even a clever piece of special pleading It U simply a .blind, stupid, scnseles pointless tirade against a measure whos. extreme moderation and careful consider ation for the interest of tbe monopolies' whom the maker? of this report represer.taro at once its tlistinguishing features ami its crowning defects, i A few samples of the wild assertions 6'' this remarkable, document wilt illustrat its general tone and character. 'The far mer's investments end products are disastrously dealt with." The bill reduces tin tlx on -many nrtidc$ which the f arme 1 uses; gives him salt, lumber and a few other important commodities duty free: puts wool on ther'free list a prn.luc' which not one farmer in a hundred raises, and which has, as a rule, comm.iuded bet ter prices under lo-V tarilf than -under-protection. This is how it deals with tin. farmer ''disastrously.' "The wages of the workmen of the country are at stake." How? The report does not say. How can it ,afiec.t th workman's -wages to give him -tree salt, lumber, wool, etc., and cheaper clothing shelter, tools,. ami medicine? The work men employed io the salt and lumber in dustries and in wool-growing are to-day paid as little as will sustain life. Vih they be paid Ic&i under any tarnl", or no tariir? "The bill is a radical reversr.l of Unland policy of the country which; for the most part, lias 'prevailed since the foundation . of the : government." The bill is nothing of tin kind. It leaves an excessive and uucon scionable amount of protection en almost every article produced by American capital and skill. Take the metal schedules,' for instance. The bill as it stands leaves every article in the schedules with from 13 to 75 per cent, protection, tha average being above 5) xt ci. The like is true t all the other schedules. The articles transferred to the free list are imiiortant raw materials in 'the production of which skilled labor is not employed, and which are now oonüollud by monopolies..' The Mills bill, so far from being radical, is conservative in the extreme, and provides for higher protection than "ALi; xandekII amilton or Ilexnv Clav or even IIorack (Jkkelev "ever advocated. 'The bill will deprive our people of employment and the opportunity to earu money with which to feed and cloilnthemselves and their families and educate their children." Messrs. Bek'd, Bkowxe, Kellet and McKinley know that . th's is false. They are not idiots, and uny one above the grade of an idit knO'ws that such result-could, not possibly follow a measure for a slight reduction iiv'taxe o a few of the necessities of life.- They make this statement presuming 'upon the ignorance ami credulity of tho.' masses. The minority report was prepared by knaves for tho consumption of fools.

W9 u.ses Swpt Away ly tne Torrents Let TLoosn tn the Sprint? Thnw. . Mason' City, la., Ajril ti. The greatest freshet ever known la this county was experienced lat uight, the town of Hock Fall, on the banks of the Shell Kock river, c xjH-ri-encbig it ' most disastrously. The iron bridge, öö feet long, and the dam arc both gone, and the damage to. property there will not fall short of 23,000. About two wees ego the ice in the Shell Itock river be eaiue loose, and formed an inline nso gorge, miles in extent, and in some places piled up twenty feet high. The heavy rain 'of Thursday loosened the water in the sloiighs and creeks, which poured iu a resistless torrent into the river, forcing it beyond its banks and loosening the ice gorge, which came down the river with such force that everything in its course was swept before the flooal. The village of Rock FalTs, south of the river, was completely inundated; houses and barns were crushed und swept away, and in some instances no vestige remains of what w as once a substantial structure. The house of Mr. Croiksltank, where he lived with his wife and three children, was crushed like an egg shell. The husband, hearing the roar of the torrent of ice .md water, got out of bed, and before he could light a lamp the water in his chamber was up to his waist. He pushed two of his children through a tran-loor. following them, his wife w ith her babe refusing to leave. The w oman rushed with her child to the upper story of her house, just a9 it was yielding to the torce ot the ilooil, and escaped mrougn me rooi oy jumpingonthe tloaiiug ice, where they remained for two hours, until daylight, when neighbors rescued them. A house in which Mrs. Anderson lived with her five children was swept from its foundation and floated against ome trees, where it lodtd. the woman and children escaping on the flouting ice, where, they remained barel'ooteal and in their uightclothcs until daylight, when the water receded and their rescue was made. If it had not been that this ice gorge broke, causing the flood to subside, they would doubtless have perished. A vacant bouse was crushed and demolished, and out-buildings, stable and sheds swept away. The large barn ' of IL M. Todd was carried oil", the veranda of his elegant residence was crushed and broken, and large cakes of ice now cover the porches. The large bridge went out when the ice gorse gave way, and portions of the trestle anal Mriueers are uow to be seen on the farm of Joseph Herrett, where thej were borne by the Hood, two miles below tin dam, and the tubing, considered the lest in the Hate, is gone. Miles of fences were torn from the land where the water was never known to reach before. When the water receded it lef: immense piles of ice in the street. Huge cakes three feet thick are piled upon one another ten to fifteen feet high, and will be there for weeks before they melt and make the streets passal.de. It looks like an immense arctic scene with the roofs of the houses protruding through. Thomas Eperrett, one of the founders of the town, was taken suddenly iil during the nicht nud telegraphed for a physician, who arrived at the swollen river, but could not cross. Then from both sides of the river they attempted to get a line across to haul over the medicine, but were unsuccessful. Kites were made and attempted to be flown over, but the w ind blew a gnle and this scheme was abandoned. Wooden ramrods with etriugs tied to them were fired from iruns, and the most muscular of men attempted to throw stones with hues attached across, but all to no avail. All day yesterday the ice was running, and the river was clogged with timbers aud driftwood from the damage done above stream, which must have lxen great. Capt. Smith, who has returned from the wvuf. lam h has lived in Cerro Oordo county for nearly fifty years, but never saw the water so high or so much devastation done by a flood here before.

Washington Critic A minister visitiug a congressman's family in the west end conducted family prayers the first morning after Lis arrival, at which the congrcsman was not present, end the small boy of the house interviewed him at breakfast.

"Why, Johnnie," expostulated the mother, "rmi must" "0h, let him go on," said the minister, with a smile, "I love to hear these innocent little frat;' ts.
