C.) ratriot carries at the head of its editorial columns the following suggestion for a democratic ticket and a democratic platform in 1892: HILL AND RANDALL. FlattoBM: Abolition of the Internal Revenue Lav. The New York Sun reproduces the above conspicuously and Eays: It ia too early to name candidates for 1?!, or to nay what the main issue will be in the (Treat struegle for the restoration of the democratic party to the power lost by unwise leadership. Eat it is not too early to assert that the democrats of North Carolina, like those of Virginia, will not again be duped into a campaign in support of a theory in which they do not believe, and the practical application of which would be disastrous to their interests. It is certainly too early to namo candidates for lSPBat it is not too early to assure the New York iStrn that such a ticket and such a platform as are named above could not come within 50,000 yotes of carrying Indiana. The democratic party of Indiana will never be "duped into a campaign" in support of a theory in which they do not believe, and the practical application of which is proving destructive to the best interests of their state. If the New York Sun's program should be adopted in 1S92, Indiana might as well be left out of democratic calculations. A Melancholy Judicial Farce. A man named "Williams was on Wednesday acquitted in Judge Woods' alleged court of the charge of bribery. The evidence was such as to leave no possible doubt of the man's sruilt. He confessed to the jury that he had paid a man $15 for roting for "Habrison, Morton and protection." There was practically no defense. The only plea made in his behalf was the puerile and contemptible pretense, insulting alike to common sense and every moral instinct, that because the man bribed had announced his intention of voting the republican ticket (he had always voted the democratic ticket theretofore) before Williams offered him the $15, and because the money was paid to him after he had voted, instead of before, Williams was therefore not guilty of bribery. The republican jury acquitted this self-confe?sed republican rascal with but little delay, and the republican judge, who, on former occasions, has lectured juries from the bench roundly and soundly, for similar performances, had not a word of rebuke or reproof to offer. The scandalous Terdict was accepted as a matter ol t course, and Williams, who had publicly proclaimed himself a bribe-giver, walked out of court a free man. It did not develop where the fifteen dollars came from, but it is not a violent presumption that it was part of the money raised by Rcssell Harrison at Chicago a few days before election to be need in "carrying Indiana." The facts and we have not knowingly stated anything but the precise facts about any of the proceedings in this court are that on this trial Bist. Atty. Chambers made what appeared on the surface to be an earnest prosecution, and that Judge Woods summed up fairly and in a manner that really made it the plain duty of the jury to convict. But, looking beneath the surface, we find that Mr. Chambers had taken no pains to inform himself as to the personnel of the jury, or, if he had, that he had not availed himself of the information thus obtained to promote the interests of the government. Preliminary to the tally-sheet trials the democratic attorneys who had charge of the prosecution made every eflbrt, by letters, telegrams and ether means, to learn who tho jurors were ; what were their political affiliations ; what their personal records and their standing in the communities where they lived, and everything that could be ascertained about them. They used this information to exclude from the panel every person who might be reasonably suspected of a bias in favor of the accused ; and a willing court this same Judge Woods gave them his potential co-operation in these efforts. The difference between an honest and a dishonest prosecution of crime is thus etrikingly illustrated. To crown the miserable travesty on justice in this Williams cae, the deputy district attorney, Cockram, made haste to defend the outrageous verdict to a newspaper reporter upon the ground that theindictroent had charged that Williams had paid certain persons money to vote a certain ticket, while the proof was that this money was not paid until after the election. " We had some hopes ot a different verdict," says this absurd person, with a delicious touch of irony; "but there was probably no other verdict possible than that given." This caps the climax of brazen assurance shown by the prosecuting officers in these cases. Of course, if there had been the slightest flaw in the indictment, Judge Woods would have quaahed it. And the claim that because money is paid a "floater" as it almost invariably is after Toting instead of before voting, a man should not be convicted on an indictment for paying money for a vote, is a refinement of idiocy of which even young CocKHAM was not deemed capable. Wednesday's proceedings culminated, Terr fittingly, with the conviction, after twenty minutes' deliberation, of a young fellow named Dolan of Llenry county, for voting twice at the same election. There is no doubt that Dolan. cast two votes on election day. He comes of democratic stock, and calls himself a democrat. In the morning, being duly sober, "clothed and in his right mind," as it were, he voted the democratic ticket. Later in the day one of Dcdlet's "trusted men with the necessary funds," got hold of him, loaded him with bad whisky, gave him a .five-dollar bill and took him to the polls, where he put in a ballot for Benjamin Habrimon. The inn. u aaij, made short vork of JJolax,

although the evidence rendered it very doubtful whether, when he cast the illegal vote, he was not so much overcome with liquor as to be wholly irresponsible. The case against him was not one-quarter as strong as the case against Williams, although Dolan, no doubt, was properly convicted. Here is a plain statement of one day's proceedings in this court of Judge Woons. Nothing is extenuated, nor aught set down in malice. We submit that this plain, unvarnished tale completely justifies every word, that has been uttered in these columns concering'the U. S. district court of Indiana and its officers. We have used language concerning these men which we would not apply to any fellow being, if, in our heart of hearts, we did not believe it was fully deeerved. If, . by any charitable construction of their acts, consistent with common sense, we could reconcile them with an honest purpose, we 6hould gladly do so. We would not consciously do an injustice in these columns to any person, whatever his political views or affiliations. It has not been an agreeable task to characterize a man occupying Judge Woods' position as we have felt constrained to do, under a high sense of public duty. But in the light of Wednesday's proceedings, w hich would have been really farcical if they had not had such a portentous significance as affecting the integrity of the ballot-box and the honor of the judiciary, The Sentinel feels that its reflections upon the federal court and its officers have not been proportionate to the magnitude of their offending. It is time that the curtain were rung down upon the wretched farce now being enacted at the federal building. Every day only increases the scandal, and augments the contempt in which the chief performers are held by honest men of all parties. "What of the Future?" We find an extraordinary article in the New Albany Isdarr, a paper which supports democratic candidates and advocates republican principles. We quote: Within the last few weeks one leading Indiana democratic paper, the Terre Haute Gazette, edited by the talented W. C. Ball, has come out flat-footed for free trade. Several others, in-chiding The Indianapolis Sentinel, have grazed the brink of the precipice with the wheels of their carriage loads of tirades n?ainst the tariff. Do these gentlemen realise where tbey are going when they go over the precipice? Mr. Cleveland would have been president and the democratic party have been in clover instead of in the soup had his tariff message never been issued. Everybody acknowledges that now. Even with it, had GORMAN instead of Wattfrson won the fight at St. Louis, we might now have been in power. Will we follow up the blunders committed and add others of the same kiud? It is all well enough to talk about educating the people up to a knowledge that free trade is a good thing, but the eopie of this country choose their own teachers and won't go to school unless they like teacher and teaching. A goodly majority do not believe in free trade and will not go to schools where it is taught. Here is a sad compound of folly and untruth (not deliberate, we are sure). So far from everybody "admitting" that Mr. Cleveland would have been president if his tariff message had never been issued, nobody "admits" this except a few pseudo democrats of the Ilandall-Duna breed, who did everything in their power to bring about the result they affect to deplore. On the contrary, every representative democratic newspaper and every democratic leader in the country, with possibly one or two exceptions, 6toutly deuy it. So far as The Sentinel is concerned, it hasn't the shadow of a doubt that but for Mr. Cleveland's magnificent message on the tariff question, and the splendid inspiration that bold avowal of righteousness cave the democratic party, it would have been beaten "out of sight" last November, instead of polling 100,001) more votes than the republican and losing the two controlling ßtates by a margin so shadowy that a change of one vote in every 1,103 in the one and one in every 2,r00 in the other would have wiped it out. Whether "a goodly majority of tho American people" do or do not "believe in free trade" is an open question. As the St. Louis platform was called a free trade platform and Grover Cleveland a free trade candidate, their plurality of 100,000 certainly has a significance which makes very strongly against the Ledger's assumption. The Ledger also says: The other argument used by the class of democrats who make free trade the battle cry of the party is that it is right in principle and that the party is bette- off in a defeat on such an issue than to be victorious with any other. That is high sounding nonsense, - stilted stuff. Parties are organized to accomplish ends. In order to do so they must be in power. What political power will the democrats have with all braucb.es of the ceneral government in the hands of the republicans? The idea that a political party should contend for principles rather than for place is no doubt preposterous to a certain order of minds. Parties are certainly "organized to accomplish ends," but of what avail if these very ends are sacrificed that power may be secured? What matters it whether the democratic party is in power or not, if it only gets power in order to abuse it as the republican party dors, for the perpetuation of a monstrous and wicked policy of taxation in the interest of a favored few? In a free government the party of opposition has important functions as well as the party of administration. The democratic party has been in power only four years out of the last twenty-eight, but since 1S74, at least, it has been an active and potent factor in our government, and of incalculable service to the American people. Whether it elects the next president or not, it will continue to fulfill a great mission. Finally, the Lelgrr contends that "no moral sentiments can attach to the tariff question." Yet the tariff question involves the question of the perversion of the taxing power the second highest prerogative of the government into an instrument for the plunder of the people and the enrichment of a favored class. If no moral sentiment attaches to a question of this kind, then nothing that involves the rights and liberties of man has any ethical element. Finally, whether they Jure right or wrong, an overwhelming . majority of the democracy believe that taxation for other than public purposes is vicious in principle and works nothing but evil in practice. Does the ledger suppose for one , moment that this great majority will ever again allow itself to be wheedled or bullied by an insignificantbut noisy minority into supporting a platform which avows or concedes thai taxation for. other than public cur-

poses is sound in theory or defensible in practice ? If so, it is tremendously mistaken. The Randall-Dana tail will never again wag the democratic dog. Indignation in the District Attorney's Office. The young man whom Dist.-Atty. Chambers has in his office, is indignant that republican rounders should be brought into court to answer the charge of bribery, "repeating" and other similar crimes against the election laws of our country. We assume that he is voicing tho sentiment of his chief as well as that of Judge Woods. He deems it a disgrace that men should be indicted "without the slightest grounds for making criminal charges." This verdant mouthpiece of his superior officers can only account for such things upon the theory that Mr. Bailey was desirous of making political capital out of the embarrassment which would ensue to his successors in office. The immediate cuise of this burst of anger seems to have been the partial failure of a government witness by the name of Bkidüet who was called in a case from Tipton county. This cheap rant against the work of a grand jury, composed about equally of democrats and republicans, only tends to strengthen our prediction that some excuse or legal quibble would be found for the release of every republican scoundrel brought into court. It it were in the power of the prosecuting officers to "return" indictments as fully a.i it seems to be the right of the judge to declare them "invalid," there might be some possible excuse for such asinine utterances as come, with some authority, from the office of the U. S. district attorney. The public, however, is not to be thus misled. It is well known that all indictments are returned with the concurring vote of at least twelve members of the grand jury, who are brought face to face with the witnesses and from their very lips gather the facts upon which a charge is ignored or a bill returned. And as to

political charges, passed upon by men of both parties, it is too evident for comment that the crime must be made to appear with much certainty before an indictment is found. This was especially true as to the late grand jury which was under the daily fire of Harrison's "boodle" organ. With the indisputable history of the present election indictments before us, then, it is quite apparent that those cases which fall short of sufficient, or at least probable, proof of guilt, fail through no fault of Mr. Bailey, or the grand jury, but because of the incompetency, or lack of good faith, of the present district attorney, who seems determined to supply what Judge Woods has failed to accomplish in his recent infamous decisions. The suggestion that any "embarrassment" to Judge Woods, Dist. Atty. Chambers, or any attache of the federal court, should arise out of the present situation, is amusing indeed. A wanton perversion of the law ; an absolute want of energy or intelligence in presenting the prosecutions; repeated apologies made to defendants that their integrity should ever have been brought into question, are features of a picture made by the officers of our U. S. court, which will "embarrass" and bring the blush of humiliation to the face of ever' honest man in the country who has heretofore felt that in the judiciary must be found the "safety-valve" of our institutions. Should Women Smoke? The New York Herald prints a "symposium" ( ?) on the question, "Should Women Smoke?" Charlotte Adams says they 6houll. Belva A. Lockwood says they should not, and so do Mrs. Frank Leslie and Ella Wheeler Wilcox. According to Mrs. Adams, the woman who has reached the old ajre of her youth "finds her cigarette a more congenial comrade, a truer lover and a kinder friend than any the world can off er beside." "Under its exhilarating influence "you are no longer shut in by four walls and bound to the Sisyphus toil of every day. Your soul has received the fee simple of the universe and you fly where your fancy wills." This impresses us as sublimated nonsense. Belva A. Lockwood, for a wonder, is more sensible. "With the feminine vices of dress, pinched waists, protruding bustles and high-heeled shoes, why add," she asks, "to the complication filthy tobacco smoke?" But even if the ladies ehould abandon their high-heeled shoes or their bustles, the perfume of the cigarette would not be tolerated, she says. Mrs. Leslie thinks that the ideal of man should not be "redolent of tobacco," while Ella Wheeler Wilcox characteristically remarks that "the fairy lips man longs to prees should not be tainted with nicotine." We vote with Sisters Lockwood, Leslie and Wilcox on this proposition. Women should not smoke. They are entirely too sweet to be spoiled in that way. However, they do smoke, and that freely, in South America, and Mexico, and the West Indies, and in Turkey, and Italy, and Kussia, and in Egypt and the far East ; and still the men of those countries find them endurable. Still we should advise the women of these United States not to dally with the festive cigarette. Let them content themselves with distinctively feminine vices, of which there are enough, in all conscience, to keep them busy. Surr. La Follette, who has waited 6ix weeks to call a meeting of the state board of education for the purpose of advertising for text books, as required by the new school book law, coolly remarked to a Sentinel reporter yesterday : "The delay of such a short time as has elapsed is of no importance at this time of the year." As a matter of fact, this delay will probably have the effect, if that, indeed, is not its object, of giving the school book ring another year in which to plunder the people of Indiana. It all depends, however, upon the course of the board of education. If no more than one member of that body is a creature of the trust, as we hope will prove to be the case, the new books can be obtained before the beginning of the next school year. The people of the state will follow the proceedings of the board in this business with a great deal of interest. "OvER-rRnDrcTioy" explains the shutting down of so many mills and factories and the general reductions of wages throughout the country. Our manufacturing in

stitutions are producing more than we can consume in this country, and the republican embargo policy prevents the marketing of their products abroad. All this was explained to the people by the democratic press in the last campaign, and the very disasters that are now crowding thick and fast upon our industries were predicted, if tue prohibitory tariff should be maintained. The only salvation for our manufacturing interests is the reduction of our tariff to a revenue basis. With cheap raw materials our manufacturers can compete with their rivals in the neutral markets of the world, and thus dispose of their, surplus products, and afford employment to hundreds of thousands of men now reduced to total or partial idleness. The republican policy of restricting imports of suppressing, so far as possible, commerce with the outside world can have but one outcome. If we would sell, we must buy of other countries. We will profit from our buying no less than from our selling. This was the contention of the democratic party in the last campaign, and the march of events will speedily demonstrate, even to the benighted farmers of the Northwest, that it was eminently sound.

The School Rook Law. The school book trust has a number of county papers all of them republican, as far as we have observed in its service, and these sheets are doing all they can to bolster up the trust and discredit the text book law. One of them the Brookville American declares that the law is likely to smash the schools themselves a favorite cry of the school book lobby and advises the officials charged with its enforcement to "go slow." The officials are going slow, thanks to Supt. LaFollette, who waited more than six weeks to call a meeting of the board for the purpose of advertising for text books, although the law itself requires that euch advertising shall be done immediately upon its passage. There is no doubt that the trust will exhaust every effort to break down this law, and it will have the help of all the venal newspapers and purchaseable school officials in the state. But we warn these fellows that this is going to be very dangerous business. The school book law must be carried out in good faith, or somebody will get into trouble. We find the following in that stanch republican organ, the Philadelphia rrees: It will be the first duty of the next house to free itself from the shackles which bind it in ignoble servitude to the minority. The republican majority in the Fifty-first congress is not large, but it is large enough to be a mighty power for good if it will refuse to adopt the rules of the last house until they have been so modified that the party responsible for legislation will be able to control it. The country is sick of the silly child's play by which the house of representatives allows its time to be wasted and its will to be defeated by a fractious minority. How not to do it was well shown by the last congress. Let the Fifty-first congress profit by its experience and see to it that the majority in each branch possesses ai:d exercises all the authority which of right belongs to it under a republican form of government and by parliamentary law. We commend the foregoing to the attention of the Journal and the other republican sheets which were recently whining about the adoption of so-called "gag laws" by the Indiana legislature. The majority in any legislative body has the responsibility, and it ought to have the power that is supposed to go with responsibility. A " fractious minority" should not be permitted to waste the time of a parliamentary body, and defeat the will of the majority by the methods of "filibustering." The house of representatives at Washington, and every legislative body, ought to make and enforce wholesome "gag laws" laws which, while not depriving the minority of any of its rights, will insure control of the proceedings to the majority, to which it properlybelongs. TnE Clay county coal miners were told last fall that unless Harrison was elected their wages would be reduced. The operators who told them this have just notified them that they must submit to a reduction of over 15 per cent., beginning May 1. Next? The binding twine trust is giving the farmers of this country a practical object lesson on the tariff which they ought to remember tho next time lying demagogues come round talking to them about the beauties of protection. The Evansville Courier alludes to Gov. Hovey as "a preposterous humbug." Such disrespect to our Napoleonic executive is really scandalous. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. J. E. Williamston, Warrington, Ind. : Sullivan and Kilrain have never fought, except ia the newspapers. F. P.

A CLAIRVOYNT'S WORK.

More About Mrs. B.-adley and Her Peculiar Gifts. To the Editor Sri Ina recent issue of The Sentinel I notice an article from Mr. Caldwell, who is a neai relative xf the eminent Dr. Charles Caldwell, the founder of a medical college at Louisville. I differ from Mr. Caldwell, in that I am not a skeptic, neither do I deem myself a speculative philosopher. But, first, I want to say a word to you in regard to your paper a ford of cheer and Godspeed. In your editorial remarks, in the issue of March 20, on "Another Judicial Outrage." I do not see how you compressed so much solid truth into such limited space. All true patriots feel that Indiana is now secure from Dudleyism, and without any attempt at flattery, I feel to say that it is largely due to the manly and fearless course of The SENTINEL, I also beg your indulgence in relation to the subject treated of by Mr. Caldwell. 1 recently met at this place, Mrs. Bradley, the itinerant clairvoyant, who claims that her only motive is to benefit her rae., and advance the cause of science. She makes no charge whatever, and nil classes are freely admitted to her presence. I am a full believer in her, and have the courage of my convictions. Mr. C. is evidently much more of a beliver than he has the courage to admit. There is a psycho-material combination between the departed mind, knd the living psychologist, which permeates the m hole universe; and is atlected by neither time nor distance. But the various relations of the living man and tha spiritual world are so complete that it is easy to be led astray without a perfect understanding ot the science; for truly it is a science, although yet in its infancy. For instance, a clairvoyant may be honestly and unconsciously influenced by a spirit, yet in the flesh, on this wise, in the matter of the secreted legacy spoken of in the communication of Mr. Caldwell, supposed to be unknown to her. Mr. Caldwell had been a relative to whom a portion of the estate belonged, and in possession ol the facts as previously stated by her. one may nave uttered the truth, simply in obedience to the laws of human svinoathv. Thus it will be seen that in a broad sense clairvoyance in some instances may be very unreliable, yet truthful. This may seem a strange thing, nevertheless it is true. It is necessary that the inquirer should be prepared to assist and encourage his subject by a judicious method of questioning, which method imparts no information, by leading questions, but which controls and directs the attention in a systematic manner. Mrs. B. seemed to be a lady of mental cultivation and refinement, acute sensibility, delicacy of constitution, a nervo-sanguine temperament, and a general predominance of the mental and moral organs, resembling Bishop Polk, who lost his life in the Confederate service, it is stated of him that his sensibility was so acute that if he should by accident touch a piece of brass, even in the night, when he could not see what he touched, he immediately felt the influence through his system, and could recognize the offensive metulic taste. But to return, I questioned Mrs. B. in relation to the "secreted legaey" to satisfy myself whether her former impressions were from a present or a departed mind. She seemed troubled, sighed deeply, and said she 6aw an old man. who had been out of the body a long time. The old man said his name was John, and that his father's name was John of Amity. The old man wrung his hands and exclaimed, "Oh, Elijah! Elijah?" and then vanished from the presence of the clairvoyant. Mrs. B. spoke of political and governmental matters; but I shall not trespass further upon your space at present, only to say that she seemed very anxious to impress the matters of the legacy upon her auditors, saying that the whole matter is in the hands of an expert detective, who has never failed in such matters, he being possessed of an iron will and an indomitable perseverance and enercy. J. S. P." Hancock, Baltimore, Md., April 15. Referred to Swift and Foulke. Wash. Cor. X. Y. Times. One never hears the civil service referred to at all now, by persons in office, as a thing to bo promoted or developed. Everybody seems to have obtained the impression that it is a matter to be laughed at and made odious, and to be got rid of as early as possible. It may not be the president's fault that the crowds of politicians seeking office here are inclined to believe that the president sympathizes with the reactionary view of the matter. Such a declaration as that made by Mr. Noble could not have come from one ot Mr. Cleveland's secretaries without provoking a storm of censure from every republican paper in the country. The clerks who have heard that they are in danger of being declared "inefficient," in order that a secretary may "favor" a republican in filling the place, are wondering how it came to pas that Gen. Harrison was supported as a better civil service reform candidate than Grover Cleveland. Condition of AVinter Grain. Vvashisgtox, April 10. The crop reporting service of the department of agriculture for April relates to the condition of winter grain. The seeding of wheat was somewhat delayed in the middle states by early autumn rains and wheat of Ohio by dry weather in September and October. Later conditions were favorable in both sections, with mild and drier weather in the East and a fair supply of moisture in the West There was little wiuteir protection, except for a short time in midwinter in the latitude ot heavy winter snows; consequently the more northern breadths are somewhat brown in color and patches in wet soils are winter killed. The temperature has been so mild, with so few sudden extremes, that the precnt condition is very Kood. The plants are generally well rooted and have been growing over a large part of the area through the winter. The ceneral averace con-lition is 94, ncarlv the same as the April condition of the crop ot 1S," which fell at harvest to S7.K. That of 18S8, 8'.' and that of the previous year SS.l. The April condition of the large crop ot ltv4 was X.4, point; up to 94 at harvest. Present condition by principal Mate is: New York !4, Pennsylvania Si, Texas D7, Kentucky 97, Ohio M, Michigan 7, Indiana 1, Illinois 97, Missouri 93, Kansas 9, California 9. Chicago's Democratic Mayor, Chicago, April 15. The first official act of DeWitt C. Crcgier, the newly-elected democratic mayor of Chicago, who was Installed to-night, was to submit to the common council, for appointment as city collector, the name of William J. Onaban. Mr. Onalian is president of the Irish catholic colonization society of the United Mates. He was for many years city collector, until suddenly removed some months aoby Mr. Cregier's defeated opponent, Mayor Koche. Other nominations by the new mayor were: William J. 1'urly for commissioner of public works, and Jonas Hutchinson, corporation counsel. The nominations wero unanimously confirmed. It is expected that tomorrow Austin J. Doyle will be made chief of police. He filled the office umler Mayor Harrison, resigning to Iwconie superintendent of the Chicago passengor street railway. A Tramp Killed Ily n Dog. Fisdi-at, O., April 10. Thomas Bergel, a farmer in the southern part of Union township, was awakened at an early hour yesterday morning by hearing lifsdoe engaged in a struggle with some one w ho was streaming for help. Th larruer, on going out, found the dog tearing at the throat of a tramp, who had evidently sought the porch as a place lo rest, and had been attacked by the animal. The farmer did not interfere with the dog, and the man was soon dead. His body was buried in the field. The farmer's children told the story, and the authorities are now investigating thematter. I-lbby lieeehler Acquitted. Omaha, Neb., April in. The jury in the trial of Libby Beechler, who killed Harry W. King, jr., in the Paxton house a few months ago, returned a verdict of not guilty this morning. The defense was insanity.

THE JUDICIAL SCANDAL. Press Comments on the Farce in the Federal Court. IPhi.inn.l Tla.A,.nl 1 I niviiiii'im iu v. i.i.j J It is no wonder Judge Woods winces and ! squirms under the scorching Thk Daily Sentinel gives hiui. Any judge who will construe the law from a political standpoint ought to be impeached. Although Judse Woods still performs the functions of his office he has lost the respect of honest men of all parties. All his defenses are mere special pleadincs. through which the common sense of even the i unlearned will cut its war to the conclusion that he is a disgrace to the bench. That of itself is a trreat punishment, but to "be damned to everlasting lanie" of the kind he has won is equivalent to standing in the pillory while generations pass by. f-ouisville Tost. William A. Woods, judce of the United States court for the district of Indiana, made another bid for the vacant supreme court judgeship yesterday. When he went out of his way to liberate the infamous Dudley from any possibility of iudictment, he was guilty of prostituting his hi'h judicial office to the level of a partisan machine. In this matter he violated his trust to shield a boodler who has done more to corrupt the ballot-box in America than any other man who ever lived. With the Eroof of Dudley's guilt staring aim in the face C issued such instructions to the jury that he could not be indicted. For this debauchery of bis otiice he has been prominently mentioned as the possible successor of the late Justice Matthews. Hancock Je(!"ersonian. It is evidently apparent to the most casual observer that Judge Woods of the U. S. court should be removed from the place he is daily disgracing by his infamous and dishonorable rulings in the election indictments, and that the new district attorney, who is dismissing the election debuuehers and perjurers by the score, should go with the judge, who is aiding in outraging decency and law to save the election conspirators who carried Indiana. The president is sworn to see the laws eiecuted, and must be held responsible should he neglect to cause them to be enforced. Marion 1'emocrat. The notorious Judge Woods has declared the indictments found against the violation of the election law defective. Of course. No one need be surprised at any ruling made by this travesty unou a judge whenever the interests of the republican party or a republican lawbreaker are at issue. And this is the same Judge Woods who aspires to the position of judge of the supreme court, and whom, many believe, President Harrison will appoint. Should Mr. Harrison make this appointment it will be the foulest blot upon his administration. Woods is a disgrace to the judiciary. Iana Sews. We cannot believe that the people of Indiana are so bereft of a sense of justice as to concur in such a prostitution of law as Judge Woods' high-handed course displays. He has now turned loose more than one hundred and twenty-five, who were duly convicted and sentenced according to the law's demand, simply assigning as his reason for so doing that the indictment did not specially state whether the illegal vote was cast for presidential electors, congressional representatives, or county ofiicers. Is such a vicious interpretation of the law what we call justice in Indiana? 4 Sew Albany Ledger. It may be true as charged that innocent men had been indicted. In so large a list there were probably some who had committed no crime. Rut it is notorious that there were many who had knowingly and willfully ierpetrated frauds on the ballot-box. These men ehould be punished. They must be punished or election laws may as well be abolished and the victory at the polls given to the party in control of the courts. What do Indianians propose to do about it? Hushvilie Jacksonian. The committee of one hundred at Indianapolis, which claims to exist only for the purpose of bringing violators of the election laws to punishment, is as dumb as death now while violators of the law are being turned loose by the score. That shows that that committee of one hundred cuntains a great many hypocrites. Kokomo Dif patch. Whet a shameful prostitution of the judiciary to the end of partisan politics! Never was justice so outrageously mocked and public morals spat upon. The people will not long stand this sort of thine. Tublio sentiment has been outraged and detk-d in the most shameful manner. Judge Woods ought to be impeached, Sew Castle Democrat. Judge Woods' construction of the law, so as to convict a man if he is a democrat and release him if he is a republican, is entirely similar to the tactics employed by the hunter who would shoot at an animal in such a way as to hit it if it should be a deer and miss it if it happened to be a calf. The Krring Husband. Lincoln Journal. 1 Wife "Henry, how in the world did you get that black eye?" "I had a fight with Billworthy and whipped him." "Oh, you brute! Why do you disgrace yourself with these brawls?" "Well, I heard him say that you wore store teeth aud " "The villain! I hope you whipped him within an inch of his life!" T. Granger Stewart, M. D. F. IL S. E., ordinary physician to II. M., the queen, in Scotland, porfessor of practice of physic in the University of Edinburgh, writes: "Acute bronchitis is common especially in the advanced stages of Bright' a Disease, and tends to pass into the chronic state. Phthisis (consumption) in its various forms is found occasionally associated with these renal (kidney) allections. It usually proves fatal while the renal malady is yet in iu early stage." It thus becomes evident that consumption and bronchitis are intimately associated with kiduey disease, and Warner's Safe Cure should be taken early in the disease to prevent the damaging influence the kiducy malady ettrte upoa tu rtbpiraUn-y orgous.

Twaddle From Washington. S. V. World. Washington correspondents are beginning to tend out the absurd twaddie about Mrs. Harrison which they employed in the case of Mrs. Cleveland. The following is from a dispatch to a leading Philadelphia newspaper: "Mrs. Harrison goes and comes as unostentatiously as if in Indianapolis. This afternoon she retnrned from a shopping tour just as a string of carriages had driven away from the front dor. She stepped out of her coupe and walked into the white house, carrying a brown paper of dry goods under her arm with unaf ected simplicity." It would have been a terrible thine if she had carried that bundle with haughty pride. Horsford's Acid Phosphate. Beware of imitations. Catarrh Cured.
