TALK ABOUT TUE GARDES.

OTHER MATTERS OF FARM INTEREST. Tnlte Grubs Red Scale Freth Ess Ue of Batter Coloring Set Times For Planting Bon Past Applying Manure Farm Note. The garden should be plowed or spaded as early in the season as possible, so as to turn up the worms and insects to the frost. A hen and brood at such a time would prove benelicial, as the insects would be thoroughly scratched out. After the best and finest manure to be had is broadcasted on the plot the frost should be allowed time to pulverize the luraps of mEure and clods of earth. As eoon as the ground is warm the plot should again be worked over and the soil raked as fine as an ash heap, which allows of better seeding and more perfect cultivation later in the season. All such vegetables as cabbage?, egg plants, tomatoe s and peppers should be prown under plass and transplanted, in order to allow them a longer period for growth, and also to have the plants ready vhen the frost is pone. Onion sets, early peas, beets, carrots, parsnips, potatoes and herbs should be seeded-in as early m possible. Potatoes and turnips are not considered parden crops, but are crown for n early supply in the garden by some. The präss and weeds appear very early, and will crowd down the yourg vegetables unless thorough cultivation is given. The frequent use of the hoe at first will save labor later, as weeds sho ild be destroyed as scon as the seeds germinate, at no time bein? allowed to crow. If the earlv crops are carefully guarded apainst the damage of weeds the later crops will have fewer difficulties to contend with owing to the fewer seeds M't of the intruding piants. The vegetables that wil' not endure the slightest touch of frost are beans of all kinds, egg plants, peppers, tomatoes, equashes, melons and sweet corn. Such crops should not be planted until May in this latitude, but space may be saved by allowing some of the later plants taking the place of those planted early. Turnips can follow arly potatoes, and string beans may succeed the first crop of peas. If the eummer is not too dry and warm peas may be grown for a succession until late. Radishes mav be grown from early spring until fall, and a patch of kale and mustard may be cropped off early, to be followed by 6tring beans for a later crop. As garden crops are not required to mature their peeds the spare occupied by each crop ithould be cleared off for some other kind es eoon as it can be done, and in thiö manner a6Qiail plot of ground can be made to produce nearly all the garden vegetables required. " Applying Manure. A writer in the New York irbr?2say3: "In applying barn-yard manure in the spring, I think the lies: results come from epreading it on the ground after it has been ploughed, and working it in with a harrow. Much is lost sometimes by ploughing manure under so deep as to be below most of the feeding roots of the crop. I think the nearer we can keep it to the surface the more good it will do the plants. The natural tendency of the valuable portions of the manure is to go downward until they are strained out by the soil and become incorporated with it, leaving only the water to descend lower; thus, when manure is soread on the surface to be dissolved by rains, the most benefit may be expected from it. It is true that haulinz out nnnure on to ploughed ground is often objectionable, but it makes It more immediately available and prevents any possible loss from ploughing it under too deep." Reniedr For th White Grab. Oarien and Forwt The use of benzine has been found effectual in France in destroying the white prubs (the larvae of the May or Dor bug), which often do immense damage, especially in dry seasons, to lawns, strawberry plants, seedling trees and other nursery 6tock. Holes are made in the ground infested with the grubs with one of the sharp iron dibbles used sometimes in transplanting small plants, and the benzine is poured into them. Fifty grains of benzine are ued to the square yard, and care is taken to insert it above the plane of the feeding ground of the grubs. In aa experiment recently made by one of Trench forest officers, "and reported at a meeting of the national agricultural society, the grubs on twelve acres were destroyed at a cost of o :ly $3.20 an acre. Set Time For Planting. B. H. of Attica says in a recent letter to the New York World: "I have transplanted trees at all hours of the day and in the different a?es of the moon, also at right, but without discovering any of the advantages tnat so many people think belong to certain set times for seeding and planting. As far a3 the moon's influence is concerned I know of nothing that justifies any belief in it, but for transplanting, and especially with tender varieties, the evening is to be much preferred to the morning of a sunshiny day. In thiä way the newly set plants get a few hours of a penial and moist atmosphere, during which the soil settles around them, and and enables them to make a slight start before they are subjected to the sunlight." Rone-l)nt. A Messena find.) subscriber makes inquiries regarding bone-dust. The full effects of bone-dust are more apparent the recond year atter its application. If the farmer wishes to aid his com land it would be better to apply it the year before with wheat, and then the succeeding year let corn be planted. It can be readily scattered with the wheat, as nearly all wheatdrills are made to accommodate bonedust. Corn-drills usually, however, are not adapted to the purpose. In regard to the quantity, we should say that about a full teaspoonful to a hill of corn would be enfficient. There are dust factories in Springfield, O., also in Indianapolis and a new one is nearly ready for business in Seymour, Ind. Keeping Eze Fresh. Country Gentleman. I will give 5'ou the best receipt for keeping eggs fre.h that was ever published. I discovered it myself and have tested it for ?'ears. I have kept eggs six months as resh aa when they were laid. I am certain they can be kept a year by this process. It is simply this: Tack then in good, clean flaxseed, little ends down, and put them in a room away from the stove. The cellar is a good place in winter. The flaxseed can be sowed in spring and fresh seed harvested for packing the following fall. The same seed can be nsed a dozen years or longer. A bushel will pack from fifteen to twenty dozens. If you use this method you will never want any other. C ttt Dutter Olor, The commi.-sioner of Internal revenue has never ruled that butter color is objectionab'e, and says that the law of August last directly recognizes that butter is a food product, made exclusively from cream or milk, or both, with or without common palt, and with or without coloring matter. The use of butter color is recognized .as necessary and lawful. Legal "butter color" has no oil in it not made of the fat of milk and cream. That butter

color is condemned that has any vegetable or animal oil not made from cream or milk. The law is plain enough, but it is claimed that every state has control of its own affairs and can regulate such matters at will, with no regard to national statutes. Cold Storage For Fruit. American Cultivator. fruit has not kept well this year except where cold storage provides the means for maintaining a nearly uniform temperature. The waste of decaying fruit and the labor of assorting it are heavy taxes on those who dispense with the cold storage methods. Ultimately all such will be driven out of the business. The capriciousness of our winters is such that no one knows what to expect Unseasonable warmth does more damage and is harder to guard against than is severe cold.

Remedy For Reil Scale. Our orchard ists are paying strict attention to the scale and red spider, and they have succeeded in heading them ofF. The most successful wash, what is known as the old sheep wash, composed of twenty pounds of sulphur, twenty pounds of unelacked Diamond lime and" ten pounds of salt to sixty gallons of water; boil sulphur with half the lime unslacked; boil one hour; then slack balance of lirue add balance salt ; mix thoroughly while boiling. Farm Notes. Sow the parsley seed a early as possible, as it requires a long time for germinatiou. Along the line of a wire fence is an excellent location for Lima beans ami other climbing plants. The best time to hurt for borers is in May. Coal ashes are said to be excellent as a preventive of borers. Sow ashes on the younz clover if you want the crop to grow oil rapidly before the warm weather comes out. It is better to kill one or two of the young pics than to allow the sow to attempt to provile rniik for a lare litter. Don't' tarn stock on the pasture until the grass thereon has male poo l growth, as it sinipiy destroys the yoan;j plants. Th best time to remove old bujldinss to new locations is when the ground is frozen, provided the foundations are ready. If youcan succeed in poisoning one r two rats the others will become distrustful and leave, as they are very suspicious. Cutting out blackberry and raspberry canes is winter work and nuit not be delayed, the best time being when the ground is frozen. All the seeds of hot-bed plants should be seeded this month. If deferred later but little advantage will be gained from the hot-bed. The early peas will stand quite a frost, and the seed should go in as soon as the ground begins to become warm. Sow the dwarf kinds for an early crop. Lice in the poultry-honse must be kept down. On the first approach of warm weather the pests will begin to breed rapidly and overrun the entire premises. A hedsre that is not properly kept is unsightly, but if carefully trimmed it adds greatly to the ornaraentatiou of a front yard, as it keeps green the entire year. The more wrinkled the pea seed the better the quality, but the kinds that are of the wrinkled varieties are uot usually the earliest, anil also require supports. Young strawberry plants can be set out as early as the ground permits, so as to get the benefit of the spring rains, and become well rooted before the dry season approaches. Have a box for martins and wrens in order that they may assist in killing the insects. If sparrows are troublesome in preventing other birds from building near the house make war on them. A hawk usually alijhts before attempting to catch a chick in order to make observation. Fasten a steel trip on a tall pole, and the chances are that the hawk will alight thereou and be caught. Seed corn roust be examined now. If the seed has been kept dry, and in a place of uniform temperature, there will be no ditneulty 01 its terminating, but if in a cold damp place the chances are that it has been injured. Run the roller over fields that have had the wheat thrown up by frost. As soon as the wheat begins to grow give the field a harrowing with a smoothing harrow, which will be found an advantage in giving the crop a good start. Currants can be easily gjown, and the bushes last manv years with care. The only difficulty is the currant worm, which can be subdued with applications of hellebore. Currants are always salable, and should be more extensively grown. Unleashed ashes possess fertilizing qualities far beyond the estimated value of potash therein, as lime and phosphoric acid are also constituents. Leached ashps may also be used with advantage on soils deficient in lime or potash. To guard against rast on seed soak it in a strong solution of sulphate of copper. Corn should be treated in this way especially. If the spores are not destroyed the rust will appear in the crop. Too müch care cannot be exercised in selecting seed corn. Hoaaehnlrt Recipe, t Sardine Toast Put a dozen sardine? in a covered jar with some of the oil ; when well heated lay them on some toasted bread, shake cayenne pepper aud squeeze a few drops of lemon juice over each one. Serve very hot.

Theu take the fi?h and pick it up fine. Feel two quarts of potatoes and put on to cook in boiling water and sprinkle the fcsh over the potatoes and boil for na!f an hour. When done take up in a pan and break two egsrs over it and mix and mash thoroughly. Make up in tiat cakes and try m hot lard until very brown. Caramel Cake Hake a nice white cake in three Ions layers, make a filling of two cofleecups dark brown sugar which is fine trrained and of good quality; three-quarters coflte-cup of sweet cream, and butter the size of an vz-i. Boil, constantly stirring, twelve minutes. Remove, cool and urtd one tablespoon of vanilla. Strain through a cheese-cloth bag or line sieve, p-d heat until thick enough to spread on cake. 1h filling should taste like maple sugar when perfect.

Apple Pie One coffee cup of sifted flonr, one-third corfee-cop lard and batter mixed with sufficient ice-cold water to make a soft dough, mix with a knife, roll thin, spread with butter, fold over three times and roll: repeat this for the lower crust and three or four times for the upper. It should be done as quickly as possible and in a cool place. Fill the pie-pan with nice tart apples sliced very thin, cover with sugar and small pieces of butter, season with cinnamon and nutmeg, add two tablespoons of water, and sprinkle lightly with flour. Just before adding the upper crust dip the fingers in cold water and moisten the edge of the lower crust to prevent the juice from boiling out of the pie.

A little of the orange juice may be added to the frosting it desirvd.

A IIUSBAXD'S -VENGEANCE

WREAKED ON HIS WIFE'S PARAMOUR. John Clement, a. Street Car Driver, Ol, covers Lloyd Nowland In nil Wife's Room and Shoots (Ilm Through the II ear t The Tragedy. Tuesday's Dally Sentinel. P. B. Lloyd Nowland, the son of a venerable and respectable father, and a man of some prominence, lies in Krejelo's morgue with an ugly bullet hole in his heart. Infidelity to his own wife led to his death. At an hour when be should have been at home surrounded by his family he was slain by an infuriated husband, with whose wife he had been too intimate. The scene of the tragedy was at No. 17 Mo Carty-st., the homo o John J. Clements, a street car driver. At 7 o'clock last evening Mrs. Clements, whose reputation on her own confession is rone of the best, visited the wine rooms of Ed Jones, corner of JIassachusetts-ave. and Ver-mont-sL There she met Nowland, to whom, according to her own testimony, she had been introduced a few weeks before by the proprietor. She had not been at the place Ions when she started home in the company of Nowland. When they reached her residence he insisted, so she states, on going in. She warned him that it would be dangerous, as it was close upon the time when her husband was accustomed to come home from his work. They entered the bouse and locked the door. A revolver lay on the bureau. "That's pretty handy if he does come," 6aid Nowland, grimly. It proved true, but the man who wielded it was the husband himself and Nowland was the victim. It was not long before Clements was heard at the door trying the knob. Finding that his summons did not. meet with a prompt response he grew apprehensive that all was not right. He tried the door with some force, when his wife opened it. Inside he iouaJ Nowland. "What are you doing here?'' he demanded. "My God! let nie out," seems to have been Nowland's reply. A scuffle ensued, Clements in the meantime having snatched his revolver from the bureau. It was soon over. One, two and three shots were fired. The second took effect in Nowland's hand ns he endeavored to grasp the weapon. The third passed through the heart, causing, of course, insiant death. When the awfulness of the tragedy began to dawn upou Clements he went outside and blew bis police whistle. Sergt. Bruce and Patrolman Bristow answered the call and placed the slayer under arrest. Such are about the facts as gathered from the only two witnesses, Mr. and Mrs. Clements. The faithless wife, fearing her husband's anger, had in the meantime shut the door, locking out her husband and locking herself in with the yet warm corpse. The police found some difficulty in gainining admission. When at last, trembling with fright, she opened the door, the police met a horrible 6ight. Signs of a scuffle were everywhere visible about the room. Upon the bed opposite the entrance was a trail of blood. The bloody print of a hand was upon the floor, a crushed and torn hat lay beside it, while near the door and a little to one side was the victim, bis features now set in death. Nowland had evidently made an attempt to get out, for the stain of his wounded hand was upon the door, and he had no doubt received hi-i mortal wound while opening it. When seen at the police station an hour later by a Sextixel representative. Clements was found stretched out on his iron cot, his eyes open wide and fixed on the ceiling. He jumped up quickly in answer to the call of his ncrae and readily told his story." After telling his occupation and place of residence he said: "I was going home from work abont 8 o'clock. I generally find the door unlocked. I tried the door and found it locked. When the door was opened I put my arms about my wife and kissed her, us I generally do. As I did so I heard a man at the window in the back room, which I bad nailed down. As I looked up I saw a man coming toward me. He was coming with his hands up. I don't know whether he had any thing in them that he was gohig to hit me with or not. I grabbed my revolver from the bureau and fired. The lamp that was sitting on the bureau then went out." "Was your wife behind you and near the lamp?" 'T don't know; she may have been. After the light went out I judged the man was coming on to me again and I fired aain. I judge that he was near the bed this time. I asked my wife to open the door. She did so, and 1 saw the man and fired again." "Do you know who the man was?" "No, I never saw him before. I went outside then," he said, continuing, "and I blew the police whistle which I had, and the police came and I gave myself up." It was a more difficult matter to get any information from Mrs. Clements. While at the house the police could get nothing from her except that she did not know who the dead man was and had never seen him before. Later, she said that she had come borne about 8 o'clock and 6he saw that the light had been turned down. !Nie had gone in and was abont taking otf her hat when her husband came home. She grew more and more confused in her statements as to the circumstances, but firmly maintained during a cross-questioning for over two hours that she did not know who the dead man was. In reply to inquiries as to where she had been while out, she stated that she was only np town walking around. She finally Erepared some supper to take to er husband at the police station, and was escorted thither by Patrolmen Slate and P.uscher. When she reached there she was subjected to a more rigid cross-examination, but held out tor a while to the one tory that she did not know the murdered man. Finally she admitted having gone to see a friend. "And this man took yon home, didn't he?" asked The Sentinel reporter. "Well, yes; I'll tell the truth. lie did." From that admission it was but a short step to a full confession. After having stated where she met Nowland, having arranged last Thursday night at Jones' to meet him last evening at the same place. She tol l of their having gone to her home. When she reached the door she stated that she wns afraid for him to go in and told him it would be dangerous. A still further confession oi guilt was then given by her which, if ull be true, indicates that Clements had discovered enough to infuriate him and to take the life of his wife's paramour. Nowland was about forty years of age and a man of family, having a wife and thre children, two of whom are now living. Mrs. Nowland's maiden name was Glover, and her father was at one time secretary of state. The residence of tho family is so far out that they possibly did not h-ar of the awful death of the husband and father, and what unspeakable agony this morning will bring to them can only be imagined. Nowland was also rather prominent as a local politician, having been a candidate before the republican county convention for representative. He was a member of the typographical union, and had on his person receipts for paidup clues. At the time of Iiis death he was engaged on the Jrrgry JivJUttn. located in the Thorpe block. J. H. B. Nowland, the dead man's father, is one of the pioneers of the county and universally respected. Fd Nowland of Cincinnati, who was some time ago in trouble in regard to an alleged embezzlement, is a brother of the murdered roan. The woman who was the cause of the tragedy is the daughter of Col. John Blake of North Indianapolis, once quite a well-to-do citizen. She said last night that she had watched her husband oft times and she felt that she war. doing no worse than he, in going where she did. Her given name is Fannie. She was locked op in the police station last night to give testimony before the mayor this morning. IlarrlAon's Kitchen Cabinet. Washington Special. The administration starts off with a kitohen cabinet which promises to be stronger than the parlor cabinet. Mr. Elkins, who can have the president for half an hour exclusively, when the ostensible leaders of the republican party have to ee him in groups and content themselves with two or three minutes of hurried consultation, shows that Mr. Clarkson will be a conspicuous member of it, for his influence with the administration must be out of all proportion to his rank in the ofhcial hierarchy. Mr. Piatt himself may be regarded as a strong member of the kitchen cabinet, and Secy. Blaine will be at least as strong in the downstairs as in the op-stairs cabinet. It looks a little as U he might b stronger.

KIND WORDS FOR ..THE SENTINEL-' Long May It Wave." s Auburn Courier. The Indiana roi.ts Sentixel has placed the people of Indiana under lasting obligations for its able and patriotic course during the late session of the legislature. Never in the history of the state have we had a paper that has watched so intently every movement of the assembly, and has so persistently denounced the wrong or insisted on having the right thing done in the right way. There was not an important measure before that body but THE Jsextixel studied it, discussed it aud threw new lieht on iL If it were a desirable thing, Tue Sentinel urged that it become a law. If it was not desirable, it gave it the most unflinching opposition. And neither its aid nor its opposition was without its own clearly expressed reasons. If it opposed a law, it could and did tell why. If it favored a measure, no matter whether its party had ever accepted the theory before, THE SENTINEL was ready and able to say why it should now be accepted and be made a part of the party doctrines. Alwa.vsciear, able, thoughtful, scholarly, but firm and uncompromising, it proved an assistance and a power in shaping the legislation of the most able aud fearless body of men that ever constituted the assembly of Indiana. The people of the state, regardless of party, but the democrats more especially, owe TlIE SENTINEL a debt of gratitude, an1 we are glad to see they realize it. Loug may Tun Sentinel wave. The Ifeatent, Ablxtt und Rest. Terre Hsute Gazette The In MANAroi.is Sentinel of Wednesday contained all the acts passed by the legislature. The most important laws, as the Andrew election law, the Pleasant school book law -and several others were given in full. A full ab stract of all the others wns given. It was a paper which everybody ought to have and preserve. We advise everybody to get it, and to supply thi demand the newsdealers who handle it ought to supply themselves with a large number of copies. It is the most complete publication of the laws passed by the legislature ever attempted by any Indiana paper. This publication is characteristic of the enterprise of the SENTINEL which, under its new management, is the neatest and completest. the ablest and best daily paper ever printed in Indiana. A Towtr of Strength. f.Muncio Heral l. TriE Indianapolis Sentinel, which has long been a strong bulwark of democracy, has, under its present management, taken rank as one of the ablest and most influential newspapers in the country. It has fearlessly combated the powers of monopoly and has been a terror to the trusts and combines that have so long been enriching themselves at the expense of the laboring people. During the recent session of the legislature, Tllfc SENTINEL was a tower of strength in behalf of the people of Indiana, and through its instrumentality, numerous measures of great importance were placed upon the statute books. THE SENTINEL is rich in general news, and is a complete compendium of all the important events of the world as they occur.

The Leading Western Journal. lirownstown Banner. TriE Indiana State Sentinel is fast becoming the leading paper of the West. It columus are full of news from all over the world. It editorial statt' is composed of some of the best talent in the United Mates. In its editorial columns it is fearless and outspoken, denouncing fraud wherever it appears, irreardless of friend or foe. Politically it is uncompromisingly democratic and the untiring foe of monopoly, trusts aud combinations, the friend of labor and laboring men, true to the best interest of the people of the state, as its thousands of subscribers will testify. Every family in Jackson county should have The Sentinel. "The Sentinel's' Snccess. Covington Friend. The Indianapolis Sentinel made a gallant fizht for the passage of the election and school book bills. They were passed by both houses of the general assembly. Every democrat in the state should be a subscriber to THE Sentinel. It deserves the trreat success it is achieving as a first-cla-s newspaper. A Great Power. ir.ushvillo Jacksonlan. The Indianapolis Sentinel has been a a power for the cause of right for several months past. It labored valiantly to crush the school book trust, and the corruption of the ballot in Indiana. Support The Sentinel, for it supports what it believes to be right, and does it ably, too. AVhy It I Snccess. Uichmond Democrat. Some papers fire a few cood shots and then fall back for a rest, but The Indianapolis Sentinel is a regular gatling gun for the democracy. It is a success for the best of all earthly reasons it deserves to be. Commendable Conrage. (Joshen NVws. The Indianapolis Sentinel does not mince ma'ters in speaking of the management of the insa.ie hospital, thereby reflecting credit anon itself and the mass of the party. Its courage is commendable. Two Itutldnzing Senators. Washington ßpecial. The republican senators from Illinois have been on a strike against Harrison for the past few days, but to-day they thawed out enough to make another eü'ort in behalf of the officeseekers of their constituents. Saturday Farwell and Cullom drove to the white house in a cab. Their intention was to bulldose the president into appointing Asa Matthews commissioner of interna' revenue. They hummed and iiawed with the- question for some time, presenting Matthews in as strong a lieht as they could, showing the necessity for recognizing Illinois, the eminent qualifications of Matthews tor the place, and the other things that office-brokers usually urge as strong points. Harrison tried to evade the question directly, but Farwell, who is a good deal of a bulldozer, thought he would make an issue. He said: "Mr. President, we are tired of this kind of thing, coming around here day by day and going away without any satisfaction. Now, 1 want you to say yes or no, whether you will appoint Matthews collector of internal revenue or not." Promptly Harrison closed his fist and with force hammered his desk and said: "No, I will not." "Good day, Mr. President," said the Illinois statesmen, and they took their departure. They told their experience to their intimates with great care and vast indignation all day yesterday and half of to-day. They said they would never again ask Harrison for anything; but the pressure was too great for them and this afternoon they made another trip to the executive mansion and urged Meredith of Chicago for public printer. They were given assurances that satisfied them that Meredith would be appointed. A Frofennioiinl Diplomat. V. Y. World. A dispatch from Washington, discussing the various foreign missions at the disposal of Mr. Harrison, says: "Ex-Minister John W. Foster of Indiana, who served acceptably at Mexico. Madrid and St. Petersburg, and is now counsel for the Mexican and Chinese legations here, will probably be g'ven a chance to re-enter the diplomatic service." Certainly Mr. Foster should have an important mission. He has now come to be our only trained, professional diplomate. He has grown rich in the business, and lias probably reduced diplomacy as nearly to an exact science as it can be brought in this country. By the way, what was Minister Foster's business record in Spain and Mexico? Cleveland And the Negro. Indianapolis Freeman colored organ. Under Cleveland the negro was generously I Hundreds of colored department clerks were I retained, and many new ones appointed. His i selections for the foreign mi .ions were ex1 ceedingly felicitious, every one being men of standing and recognized ability. He appointed the only colored chaplain in the regular array, and his entire bearing toward our people bespoke a gracious acknowledgement of their rights as men and citizens. President Clete land goes out of office with a record unstained, and carries to private life the best wishes of the people he has for four years gracefully served. Ko, Thar Isn't. N. Y. World. Is there a federal judge who will speak as plainly in Indiana as Judee Cunningham has spoken in Arkansas, and denounce the organized corruption of the ballot-box by bribery? This is a darker crime than stealing the ballots. For whereas the latter simply robs the people, bribery defeats their will by debauching the voters. Can President Harrison find a federal judge who will not reverse his own righteous ruling against the inciter of bribery in order to protect a proodaeat leader of LU own party?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE TALKING OF. The Republican Party a Traditional Defler of Law Some Cnrions Predictions ot a Washington Clairvoyant Suggestions On Various Topics. To the Editor Sir: Whenever and wherever the republican party or any section of it finds itself antagonized by law, then the disloyalty of the party asserts itself through the party press and party "stumpers." This has been the history of th. party from its formation down to the present moment. It is not now nor never was a party of principle. In its so-called days of purity it was a party of sentiment, appealing to passion, prejudice and ignorance to gain political ascendency for oluci.il spoils. That was and is its ouly excuse for existence. liy word, act and deed it resisted a national law enacted during the administration of and approved by President Fillmore. In many states the founders of the g. o. p. were in armed resistance to the enforcement of this law. Later, when the supreme court of tho United States, Salmon I. Chase chief justice, declared the "green hack act" unconstitutional, the disloyalty and disregard of the republican party for thel:w was again manifest by its denunciation of that decision. The same disloyalty wns also seen by its opposition to the decision of the same court, because it decided that Dred Scott, not being a citizen of the United States, could uot bring suit in the U. S. courts. Its opposition to and denunciation of the decision of the supreme court of Indiana in I860 is another instance of the outcropping of its disloyalty. It is a fact that no lawyer will deny that an enactment of the congress of the United States or of any state legislature is law, until repealed or pronounced unconstitutional, and that to resist the enforcement of any law is disloyal. I guess the late Emor" A. Storrs of Chicago, a stalwart republican, knew what he was talking about when arguing the case of the anarchists before the supreme court of the state of Illinois. He declared that what they said about throttling the law was no wore than what the founders of the republican party had said about the laws of the Uuited States, and that if they (the anarchists) were hanged for what the record showed they had said and done, then should the founders of the republican party have been hanged, for they counseled resistance to law aud opposed its execution. The position of the republican party in relation to the laws passed by the Indiana legislature is disloyal. Tbe laws may be bad, may be unconstitutional, but neither democratic citizens nor the democratic press Lave ever yet advised resistance to the law. The principle of democracy is to obey law. If the law be bad, democracy says repeal it, not resist its enforcement. If it be regarded as unconstitutional, democracy says obey it till the courts set it aside. The line of demarcation between democracy and republicanism is broad, clear and distinct. The former is patriotic, national, loyal; the latter usurpation, sectional, disloyal. When democracy shall hold np to public gaze the disloyalty constantly coming to the front in every act of the republicau party in state and national afiairs, honest men will be ashamed that they ever had any connection with the disloyal, sectional spoils party. Obey the law instead of advocating nullification. James A. 1!i:ovn. Delphi, Ind., March 10. WHAT ARE WE COMING TO? Some ot the Cartons Prediction of a Washington Clairvoyant. To tiie Editor Sir: Being a Iloosier by birth and having passed many years of my early life in that state, and having read your excellent paper, I have been much pdeased with your fearless exposure of Dudleyism and your championship of the Indiana election laws. Allow nie to congratulate you on the manly and upright course of The Sentinel in exposing the manner in which presidents are bought and 6old. There is no fair-minded American citizen to-day who does not believe in his heart that Samuel J. Tilden Mas fairly elected. And. but for his foresight, prudence and goodness of heart, there would have been serious disaster at that time. What are we coming to? Whither are we drifting? Iut it is cheering to know that your new election law is one grand step toward salvation and redemption. I yet have hope in the people. I also wisli to touch briefly on a late curious experience near Philadelphia with an old lady a Mrs. Uradley in a kind oi seance or clairvoyance. 1 am by no means a spritualist; have never taken any interest in that kind of thin?. Put some very unaccountable things have transpired. I will make a brief statement of the matters: After an examination of tbe writer's physical condition, which proved true to the letter, I asked Mrs. B. if she could examine in connection therewith my wife, who was at that time in Indiana. She answered in the atlirmative, and described her condition with a great deal more accuracy than I could have done myself. But, strangest of all strange things, if true, there ecems to be an old man somewhere in Indiana who in early days was very poor in fact, all the family were extremely poor. There was the biblical number of seven of thcra four boys and three girls as the story goes. Two boys and two girls are dead. One of the boys seems to have secured a legacy belonging to the family and secreted it from his brothers and sisters, who are still very poor, he being possessed of great wealth. And, strange to say. the place was pointed out where the record of the family could be found for more than a hundred years back, and much other evidence of the whole transaction. In answer to the query as to whether she could see into the future of this country, she said: "The next administration will witness the triumph of tariff reform; that Dudley would have place under Harrison: that prohibition amendments would carry in some of the states; that a murder had been committed at Indianapolis that would shortly be detected with startling disclosures: that Harrison was president of the United States by the foulest oi foul methods." If all these things prove true, what may not be done on this line? Yet the writer is mot thoroughly sceptical and incredulous, although the statement in regard to the physical condition ot myself and wife was most certainly true to the letter. As a matter of great curiosity such of the above predictions as are within reach will probably soon be looked after, to see if the statements can be verified by the facts, and time will develop the balance. A. C. Caldwell. Washington, D. C, March 16, EqnM To the Kuiergency. TO THE EDITOR Sir: The democratic party of tbe state of Indiana owes all honor to The Indianapolis Sentinel for the brave and manly fight it has made in behalf of the people in the advocacy of reform measures which have become laws, whereby the state will be saved from the disgrace of Dudleyism and the people from being robbed by the combined book monopolies of the country, with many other good and wholesome laws. Among theln are the coal screen and the "pluck-me" store laws. It is to be hoped that The Sentinel will continue its good work in battling for the interests of the people. It must put in its best licks. There is a big fisrht ahead to down Napoleon Hovey, Judge Woods, Dudley and the monopolist, together with the Journal and the "me too" Mies. But Ithiuk The Sentinel is equal to the emergency. T. J. ClIEKBY. Shelbyville, Ind., March 10. The liest in the State. To the Editor Sir: May TnE Sentinel live long and prosper in advocating tariff reform. It is now the best paper published in the state. E. E. EADES. Madison, Ind., March 19. The Tariff Iteform Movement. N. Y. EenlnB Post. Following the recent tariff reform convention at Chi ago s similar state convention was held at Indianapolis which TlIE SENTINEL of that city reports as largely attended and giving promise of the best results. A working organization was formed for each congressional district, and an office opened for a central bureau at Indianapolis. The Massachusetts league has again put itself in working order, end the reform club in this city, which has not at any time remitted its labors, is now in a state of efficiency which has never been surpassed or equalled by any similar body in this country. Tbe time for a national organization like the anti-corn law league of Eug and is at hand, and will not, wt thik. be mach longer deferred.

DUNLAP IS IN.

Th TT. S. Marshal's Offlco Transferred to Mr. Dan lap. The change of administration was felt for the first time yesterday in the Federal building. William L. Dunlap is now U. S. marshal ofthe district of Indiana, and Edward Hawkins is exmarshal. No special ceremony attended the change, which occurred yesterday afternoon. Mr. Dunlap's commission arrived Saturday, lie appeared before Judge Woods" yesterday and was promptly sworn in. His bond was approved by the judge and filed with Clerk Butler. The size of the bond is $-'0,000, and the following gentlemen are the bondsmen: Gabriel M. Overstreet, sr., Thomas B. Wood, John Clarke, Robert A. Alexander and Eichard V. Ditmars, all of whom are freeholders of Franklin. There is one peculiar thing about the commission received by Dunlap, In addition to the signature of Benjamin Harrison there is also that of W. II. Miller, attorney-general. The pecularity of this U that during Cleveland's administration the cotnmisvions were signed by the secretary of tate instead of by the attorney-general. Mr. Hawkins' commission bore the name of Bayard instead of Garland. The first official act by Marshal Dunlap was the appointing of Jesse Overstreet as his chief deputy. Mr. Overstreet is a slender man of about thirty-five years of age. His gold spectacles and small, sandy mustache give him the appearance of a student. He is a member of the law firm of Overstreet, Hunter & Overstreet of Franklin. The second act of the new marshal was to appoiut Andy Hart as one of his deputies. Mr. Hart is of this city ai:d was a deputy before the democratic administration. Marshal Hawkins and his deputies retired with good grace. They straightened up all the business oi the ofiice, made out a minute inventory of everything connected with it, and spent the afternoon initiating the new marshal into tho secret workings of the establishment. During the morning Chris Stein performed his last duty iu arresting William Rhode of 521 S. East-sL for passing a counterfeit dollar. Commissioner Van Buren gave Rhode a hearing and released him on his own recognizance uutil this morning. Charles Presston Taylor, known more familiarly as Charlie, was absent on a trip to Michigan City to release James Dillon, a postoffice robber who has served his time at tbe prison. George S. Miller, better known as Frank Miller, the chief deputy, performed the last duties of the office with sang froid. Francis A. Ward, known for short as "Berry", also seemed in good spirits. La-stly Edward Hawkins did the good graces for his successor and thus the administration changed hands. THE INSANE TRUSTEES. The Governor Files His Answer to the Petition for a Mandate. The governor filed his answer yesterday to the petition of Joseph L. Carson for a writ of mandate to compel the governor to issue him a commission a a member of the insane asylum board. The governor holds that the bill creating the new board was unconstitutional because (1) it was not returned to him after its passage over his veto; ()it was not deposited by him with the secretary of state: (3) the act was not signed by the presiding officers of the two houses of the legislature after its veto, and lastly, but not least iu the eyes of the governor, it seeks to rest the power of appointing a 6tate ofiicer in the legislature and not in the executive branch of the government. Mr. ('arson's lawyers tiled a demurrer to the answer to the etlect it does not state facts sufficient to institute a defense to plaintill's eomElaint. Argument on the demurrer will be eard this morning by Judge Howland. The Honest and Much Maligned" Dudley. Lafayette Journal. Col. Dudley, in nn investigation at Washington, I). C, and while testifying under oath, was asked the direct question whether or not he wrote the famous "blocks-of-five" letter, now so familiar to everybody. He declined to answer on the ground and plea that to answer the question might criminate him. We &k, in the name of common sense and in the light of all the rules of evidence known to the law, how such a thing is possible, if Mr. Dudley is innocent? How can any INNOCENT man criminate himself by telling the TKl'TlI? Was ever any su .h proposition beard of before? Does any man believe, or will any man say, that if Mr. D. is as innocent of writing that letter as his party friends would make believe, be would hesitate for a moment to fae the world with a firm and unequivocal denial? A plea of innocence, based on such conduct ns Mr. D. is cuilty of when he declines to say yes or no, really makes one tired. In the light of ail the circumstances connected with this matter from its incipiency to the present moment, there is but one reasonable and logical conclusion, and that is that William Wade Dudley wrote that letter. If he did, there is not a county in Indiana bnt what has a large number of men who know the fact. Every republican newspaper knows it, and no less a personage than Gen. Benjamin Harrison, president of this United States of America, knows it. Oh! yon lovers of liberty and purity, forget your politics for a moment and think of this proposition: "I am innocent, but I dare not say so lest I criminate myself." School Itooks and the Tariff. Tipton Times. The school book question will demonstrate to the people of Indiana what a curse a book monopoly has been to them. The new law will enable parents and pupils to purchase books one-half cheaper. That is, a book that formerly cost $1 can now be had for 50 cents. This demonstrates the fact that the people have been paying twice as much as books were worth, ar.d this extra money went directly into the pockets of the book monoply. The same theory is true of our unjust tariff laws. If it were not for the higii taxes on clothing, groceries and provisions, the people could purchase them nearly one-half cheaper, but as it now is, the extra money goes into the pockets of tne manufacturer. Will any sane man say that a reduction in school books will hurt labor? Not one. But every family in Indiana knows that thj new law will benefit every person who has to purchase a book. The same theory will apply to clothing and other necessaries of life. Remove the Lixes and our people can get their goods cheaper. Such a theory does not attect labor; it only reduces the enormous profits of the manufacturer. The above is splendid "meat" from which to take a tariff lesson. What is true of the school book monopoly is also true of all other monopolies. 'Thnt Man Harrison." Washington Special. The democrats are the cheerful people now At the national capital, and the republicans are the grumblers and growlers are the disappointed. It is no longer President Harrison. The otlice-seekers now refer to him as "that man Harrison." They say that he is mulish; that he has the big head; that the job is too big for the man; that he does not show a proper appreciation of the men who made him, and that he will eventually find himself in the soup. This is the way they talk. They are disgusted, disappointed, or as old Ben Wade said a few weeks after the fraudulent president was installed, they are "humiliated." What rare old Ben Wade said was that he was "deceived, betrayed and humiliated." There are any number of seekers for place declaring the same thing now. Harrison is trying to run the machine, and having the call of course he can make trouble. A Self-Conf eased Criminal. Philadelphia Times. There is one way, and only one way, by which Col. Dudley can vindicate himself. The fervent appeals of party organs or fellow-cor-ruptionists in his behalf must only offend the intelligence of the public while Dudley remains a fugitive from the courts of his own home. If he is innocent, or if he can challenge his accusers as equally guilty with himself and thus enforce his own safety by conceding safety to others, let him manfully appear in the Indianapolis courts where he is accused, and in the New York courts where he accuses others, and demand a prompt judicial determination of the issue. Whenever he shall do that, he may claim a generous judgment from the public; but while he skulks as a fugitive from his own suits and the suits against him, he will be justly regarded as a self-confessed criminal who dare not face the law even in his own home. The People Are All Right. Louisville rotl There is a democrat ic party in this conntry yet. Last November it polled 5,510,329 votes more by upward of 100,fX0 than any other party ever polled. It attempted to remove the tax of) the necessaries of life and refused to give the people cheap tobacco rather than cheap wooL There is hope for the conntry as long as a majority of the people adhere to the only real grand old party tho country ever knew.

CO., 106 Wall st.. N. Y. FOR PRESIDENT IN 1892. Orover Cleveland Supported hy an Impor taut lr moorrt ic Journal. I'tiira Observer. He has been bonet ai.'l independent. nd Grover Cleveland chosen to be a dishonest or insincere man, he could now pick out from the crowd of those who attack him a big contingent ot sycophantic followers. Had be chosen tob less than independent and self-reliant newspapers that now condemn him would sound aloud the praise of him. But he chosehisowa career. No man or set of men could run him. and by his sturdy stubbornness in this regard he drew to him the people, who, like a mighty army, trod under foot bis political enemies, and ratified at the polls the great maxim that "An honest mnn's the noblest work of God." They did not re-elect him, because the forces of corru j ion and misrepresentation were ncainst him. Bui hey loved him better as their defeated captain in a good cause than if he Lad carried New York and defeated Harrison. The time has not yet arrived when the American people dislike honesty and devotion to duty as attributes of their public servants. Cleveland never wavered from tbe stern sense of obligation to the country. It is a common remark that if he had not written bis celebrated tariff message he would have been re-elected. If this be true, he deserves the more honor, because in this he exeraplied the theory that it is better to be right than be president" This party of ours, good-natured in defeat, magnanimous in victory, and so firmly built that it will last as lorn; as tbe sun or the earth, thanks him for what he has done for iu He has shown, not by magniloquent promises, but by action, that the democratic party can b trusted. Its gratitude to him is deep and earnest, and so long as he lives the immense arra7 of the democracy, with here and there a ridiculously feeble exception, will love its leader, Cleveland. The Progress of Ballot Reform. N. Y. Fvenir.ir Pot. The first election which Montana will hold as a state in October next will be conducted on the Australian system of votinz. A ballot law based upon that system was passed by the territorial legislature at its present session, and was signed a few days ago by the governor. It is now saul to be certain that the Rhoda Island legislature will within a few days pass its pending ballot bill, and that it will become a law to go into el'ect next year. There are, therefore, at present three states Massachusetts, Indiana and Montana with complete and excellent baiiot-refonn laws, end Rhode Island will make a fourth. This is likely to be the total result of the movement during the present year, and it is, on the whole, an encouraging one. It should be remembered that the a'tation of the question has been going on only about two years. The immediate results have been much greater thnn tho-e of the civil service reform agitat:ort ; for, though that has been in progress now lor many years, only two states Massachusetts and New York have ytt enacted laws embodying its principle. They've Dumped lMnllej. Philadelphia Kccor.i. The Harrison administration is now two) weeks old; and Col. W. W. Dudley has received no recognition of his services in the late eamFaien. On the other band. Mr. Clarkson of owa, who merely assistci Dudley in the "purchase" of the Voice' mailin? list, has been rewarded with the ofiice of first assistant postmaster eeneral. It is intimated from Washington that the ingenious author of the pian. for buying "floaters in blocks of five" has begun to bitterly complain of the ingratitude of politicians. He has, it is said, in his possession a letter of President Harrison's in which his great political services in the campaign are most humbly acknowledged. But what is th possession of such a letter to the loss of all share in the rewards of the campaign. Democratic Humorists ISalked.
