WEDNESDAY, APRIL IS. "A Strange Message. The Sentinel will begin next week the publication of a now serial story with the above title, by Miss Dora IIlssell, ont; of the mo.t gifted and popular living writers of fiction. Miss IU'ssell U the author of "Footprints in the Snow," "Quite True," "Annabel's Kival," "Lady Softon's Pride," "Beneath the Wave," "The Urokert Seal," "The Vicar'3 Governess" and "Track of the Storm." All of these works have had an immense sale on both sides of the Atlantic. Her new f tory, "A Strange Message," is pronounced by competent critics superior to anything she has yet written. Miss Dussell's novels are intensely dramatic, full of life, action and adventure, skillful in plot, brilliant in dialogue, graphic in description, effective in situations and captivating in style. The ithoucvn, the Acwhixy, the S?zMrtAy i.VWeir, the Fij-iro, the St. Janus Gazette, the iLomlon yif.Tittj Pod, and the London spectator, which are among the highest critical authontitics in the English language, are loud in their praises of Miss Hcssell's genius. "We feel sure that this story will prove a roost attractive and popular feature of Tue "Wexkly Sentixel. It will be printed simultaneously in a number of the leading newspapers of England and the "United Siate?. A "Word With You, lYieinls. The Indiana State Sextinll is now a larger and a better japcr than ever before It is printed on a new Hoe perfecting press with a capacity of 2S.0OO sheets per hour, folded. This wonderful machine coits SlöjiXX). New and handsome typo are used, which makes the "print" clear and legible. A better quality of paper and ink is used than ever before. The idea is to make The Indiana State SENTINEL the le-t, the handsomest and the cheapest- weekly paper (considcrinjr its superiority) ever offered to the people of Indiana. All of these improvements have cost a large amount of money. A new investment of something like ?2P,000 has been made, and the running expenses largely increased. We hope our friends, and especially those who are interested in the democratic cause, will appreciate these thing?, arid aid us to get a fair return on our money, our enterprise and our labor. They can do this in two ways: First, all who are in arrears can square themselves on the books at once, and at the same time remit a year's subscription in advance. The Indiana State Sentinel only costs one dollar a year, less than two cents a copy, including postage. Where else, reader, can you get zo much comfort, so much information for yourself and your family, so much sultantial benefit, for two cents? Send us your old debt, then, if you owe one, and a dollar for the year to come, so that when you enjoy the luxury of The Sentinel you will have the satisfaction of knowing that it is paid for. There is another way you can aid The Sentinel and the democratic cause. Tell j our neighbors and frienJs about the paper. Tell thcui of the improvements it has made, and impress upon them the fact that it is the cheapest and best weekly paper in Indiana. Get them to try it for a year, (one dollar) or if they wont do that to send sixty cents for The Sentinel until the end of the presidential campaign. If you have a friend or relative who has left the state, or is about to leave it, suggest to him that by sending a dollar to The Sentivel he can get what amounts to a weekly letter- from homo for fifty-two weeks, giving all the news of interest from dear 'old Indiana, besides the news of all the world. Every subscriber of The Sentinel could easily get it another subscriber if he would make a little effort. Wont you all try, friends? Wont you try, ladies, and loys and girls, who get so much pleasure out of The Let Us Make No Mistakes. In a little more than a week the democratic state convention will assemble. A majority of the delegates arc already chosen. Most of them, we are glad to say, will come to the convention unhampered by instructions of any kind. They will com, as we believe, with an honest purpose to nominate the strongest possible ticket, regardless of considerations of personal ambition or local pride. Every intelligent and patriotic democrat must realize that this is a oor year to indulge his pride or gratify his prejudices, cr "get even" with his enemies at the expense, of his party. We are on the eve of a desperate battle. We have a majority in Indiana, but not such a majority as will warrant us in making any ruis-takes or committing any foolishness whatsoever. Like Mfrcvlio's w ound, it lacks dimension?, but 'twill serve, if w e hold it. To hold it we must nominate a strong ticket on a sound platform, effect a first class " organization, bury all personal grudges and animosities and factional qrarrels so deep that they can never ba resurrected, and go into the fight determined to in, if victory is to be gained by legitimate and honorable methods. There are some things that must be carefully avoided if we are to carry Indiana this year. Ferhaps the first and most iinportan thing to be avoided is under-estimating the strength of our opponents. The re publicans of Indiana are very hungry and j very thirsty. They have all the reckless desperation that attends a naturally voracious appetite, sharpened by a long erioV of enforced listing. They aro determined to carry Indiana this year, by fair means or by foul. They expect to have, and doubtless will have, an abundance of th? "sinewsof war." The tariff rings and the great corporations w ill Fee to that. They expect to have an Indiana man on the republican national ticket, and they intend to nominate their most popular and artful demagogue for governor. They will contest every inch of

the ground, and will give us a lively fight

We can beat them if w e go at it in the right w-ay, but we are not going to have a "picnic." It's alwavs best to look facts squarely in the face. 'ow if, at the outset, we carefully avoid underestimating the strength of the ene my, w e shall doubtless see that if we are to win we must also carefully avoid several other things. Among w hich are these : Nominating any man for governor who is not fully equipped to meet in debate the strongest man in the republican party; who is not thoroughly informed and in dcad earnest on the tariff question; w hose personal and public record is not clean, honorable and straightforward ; who is not acceptable to democrats of all classes and of sdl sections of the state. If any such person asks the nomination, or if his friends should ask it. for him, the convention should reply with a polite but emphatic negative. If the convention is asked by a man's enemies fo nominate him for governor or any other office, in order to give any of the said enemies a'rhanco to obtain some other office, it will or ehould respectfully decline, unless some better reason can be shown for making the nomination. As to every place on the ticket, from the head to the tail, the convention must avoid forgetting that no man has any valid "claims" upon the party. It is the party that has claims upon its individual members. The officious, the self-seeking, the obtrusive, do not always make the best candidates. Because a man has once had a nomination and been defeated .-it does not necessaril' follow that he should have another. There are many questions to be considered. Is he the strongest and best equipped man for the office? "Is he prepared to make sacrifices for tho .common cause? Will he labor earnestly for the success of the whole ticket, and not insist ujon making a personal canvass in his own behalf alone? Is he a democrat from principle, or for revenue only? Is lie in hearty sympathy with President Cleveland on the tariit question, and has he any doubts as to the results of a campaign on this issue in Indiana if it is vigorously conducted? Has he done as much for his party in the past as his party has done for. him? All these and many other matters must be considered by the delegates calmly, dispassionately, deliberately, if their work is to ! properly done. The Sentinel has no candidate for anv office in the gift of the people of Indiana. It is for democratic success, and it knows that success can only be assured by wise and harmonious action on the part of the enuvention. It auMresscs these remarks to the delegates more than a w eek in advance of their assembling, not in a spirit of dictation, but localise it believes they arc pertinent to the occasion and in the interest of the democratic party. We ask delegates to think over them, and sleep over them, and when they come to the convention to come with a proper sense of the responsibility that rests upon them, and of the duty they owe their party and with a fnll consciousness of the importance of making a ticket which shall be unexceptionable in every respect, and shall combine, in the highest possible degree, the requisites of character, capacity and availability. The Insane Hospital. The Jnvm'tl rehashes all the ola charges airainst the management of the insane hospital and add, with an air of triumph: Tin: Sentinel 1ms said tlmt there nre "various features which might 1 improved." If the ones here tperificd are not proper ones for improvement, will Tin: SENTINEL be kind enough to say just t hut features could he improved? V.'ouM it not he sin improvement to kick the whole llAKKlsON-C0V-l"LLIVAN gang out of t lie control and management of the chief benevolent institution of the state? If not, why not? The Sentinel will frankly say that it does not believe it would be an improvement to supersede the present corps of officials and employes at the insane hospital with creatures of the class that the republican party always kept in charge of the benevolent institutions w hen it was in power. .Whatever may be charged against the Hakkison management and very much that is charged is notoriously false the insane hospital is to-day more honestly and economically conducted than when it was in republican bands. The Sentinel has said, and itsaysagain, that it believes the system now in vogue inthis and other public institutions of like character ought to be radically reformed. It believes that they ought to be taken out of politics. In this it may be, and probably is, in advance of a considerable element in its own party. It is certainly in advance of the ruling element of the republican party, which appears to believe that hospitals, asylums and penitentiaries ar established for no other purpose than to provide comfortable berths for republican heelers and strikers. However, regardless of democratic opposition or republican hostility, The Sentinel will, when tho proper time arrives, advocate as earnestly as it may the reforms w hich.in its opinion, are essential to the highest utility of our penal, reformatory and benevolent institutions. Wc predict, with considerate confidence, that the Journal will be found opposing such reforms. Meantime, it w ill use the charges against the hospital management for all they arc worth, and a good deal more, for campaign puroses. But its motive in this business is so transparently partisan and its methods so flagrantly indecent that we don't exject its daily tirades to have much influence upon fair-minded and intelligent voters of any party. Ittillrioing In Indiana. The Greenwood episode is interesting. The Kev. C. W. Tinsley is a methodist clergyman at Greenwood. A majority of his parishioners aire republicans of the "way back" variety. Mr. 1. 1. Sheek is a reputable and Godly resident of Greenwood. He was the democratic nominee for trustee of his township at the recent election. Parson Tinsley promised Brother Sheek his vote. This pledge becoming known there was straightway a great howl among Parson Tinsley's republican brethren. A number of them went to the good par-on to protest, and one went so far as to say that if he did not violate his pledge he (the r. b.) would withdraw all support from him. Thereupon the worthy clergyman sought Mr. Sheek, secured a release from his pledge, and thus endeth the chapter. All this happened in Indiana, only a few miles from this city, and not in Mississippi or Ilhode Island. It reveals an intolerant

and prescriptive spirit which is both unAmerican and un-Christian. Where a minister of the gospel is denied freedom of political action under penalty of having

his supplies cut off the re-advent of the thumb-screw and the pillory would seem to be at hand. The leading mugwump newspapers of the country admit that the commanding issue in the presidential campaign will be that of revenue reform. On . that issue nineteen-twentieths of the mugwumps stand squarely on the democratic platform. The New York Timet, the NewYork Past and Harper's Weekly arc constantly dealing effective blows at the spoliation tariff. They will support President Cleveland for re-election because of his attitude on this question. They admit that the civil service issue, however . important, is subordinate to that of tariff reform, and besides they know that a republican restoration means the revival of the spoils system in its most aggravated form. After all, the mugwump are pretty level-headed fellows. We beg to assure them of our distinguished consideration. The Journal says it has always been in favor of taking the asylums out of politics. If so, it kept mighty quiet about it when its party was in power. Should the seemingly impossible happen and the republicans carry Indiana at some time in the distant future, the Journal will, we predict, antagonize any movement to take the asylums out of politics. But The Sentinel will insist upon holding it to its declaration of yesterday, which has been carefully labeled and filed away in this office for future reference. Now that the dead-lock in tho house has been broken, and the direct tax refunding bill laid over until next December, the country expects that body to jnake up for lost time. The reduction of taxes, and not the refunding of taxes collected more than a quarter of a century ago, is what the people demand, gentlemen. The way to solve the surplus problem is to remove the taxes which arc levied in the interest of monopoly. Scott Ray, after ninety-nine ballots were cast yesterdav at Shelby ville. was nomi nated for joint senator of Shelby and De catur counties. Whatever differences have heretofore obtained among tho gallant democracy of Shelby county should now be forgotten and the entire organization close up for a w inning fight against the common foe. Mr. Kay should be elected by an emphatic majority. The Indiana Farmer, which professes to be nonpartisan, and which asks the sun- - - 4 port of democratic farmers, is printing coarse attacks upon President Cleveland because he w ants the iniquitious tariff on wool repealed. The Indiana Farmer is a good paper for democrats to let alone. THE WEEK'S NEWS. Congrcssinnl J'roceedinss for the Week Miscellaneous News Items. Monday, April 0.

To' THE Editor Sir: I have received letters from gentlemen of the northwest em states asking the question "In what respects docs the "Fanners' trust"., differ from the grange?" I can answer without prejudice as I have been a member of the grauge.for thejast seventeen year-. The grange tried to regulate prices on what the farmers had to buy. Tho Farmers' trust undertakes to control 'the prices on what tho farmers hnve'to sell. - The one appoints aeents to buy cheap; the other will appoint agents to sell to the bot .advantage. The grange Is a Beeret social society; it'; members are bound J together by moral obligations; it sought to accomplish political ends. It excludes froiu membership nil persons who arc not farmer. The Farmen.' trust lias no secrets, i-igns, pass-words dot black-balls and its membera nre bound together by pecuniary obligations has a pocket interest. 'und a business end.

union" as a substitute for the name Farmen' tnifct. I am aware there is a prejudice against anything has the uame oi "Trust" But this is om ing to the fact that the object of a trust is so little understood. '

i A trust is the union of business institutions. and its object is to prevent miaous competition iu trade; experience having demonstrated that ' comnetition is not the unfe and honest method of doing business. To compeI tition may be traced eighty per cent, of all i .business failures, and the survival of the fittest j or strongest becomes an oppressive monopoly, A trust is a compact between two or more independent business firms, atrreoing to do or not to do a certain thing in the line of their business, and implies a trustee to execute the trust, who is restricted or limited to the specific object of the trust. By these modern institutionf, uniform grades of prices are established, thus protecting the weak atrainst the strong; respectively reserving to each member of the union all the rights and powers not delegaied to the trust.. 1 A trust, therefore, is decentralizing in its influence, and a check unon mononolv. the lat ter being a consolidation of capital or a cen.trulization of .business power, acting under -one supreme principal head, deriving its nourishment and growth from the failure and ruin of coin Petitors in trade. When a combination J iti business assumes this character it ceases to be a trust, and becomes a monopoly.' The manufacturing and commercial classes are oreanlzed. but the agricultural, the funda mental industrial class, is unorganized, and at uie mercy oi tne otner two. .- .. The farmers' trust movement therefore has become a necessity in order to secure an equitable exchange of product and to restore the normal condition of trade, or aa equilibrium of production and consumption. The inter-state convention of farmers, called to meet at Topek, Kas., May I, IS&S, is to h a delegate and mass convention.

Ex-Scnotor Harrison' popularity a an Indiana aspirant for the presidency over Judtre Gresham (also of Indiana), who is "not a candidate," is said to be demonstrated by the fact that he (Harrison) has captured the "delegates" in Grcsham's own county. That certainly does look like popularity, and also like business among the wirc-workinc; and delegate-electing class of Indiana republicans, but whether that means true popularity among the people -whose votes make presidents may be a question with an opposite answer. There is a big difference, occasionally, between that popularity with party bow and workers which makes candidates and that high esiiiuation among the people which induces them to elect presidents. It is not at all unlikely that, while ex-Senr.tor Harrison may have more of the one, Judge Greshani may have most of the other. . Bottom Facts.
