The visit of the pan-Americans to Indianapolis passed off very pleasantly to all concerned. The arrangements had been carefully made with a view to crowding as muoh entertainment into the limited time assigned to this city, and conveying to our distinguished guests as adequate an idea as possible of our industries and our resources without unduly "wearying them. The program was, we believe, carried out without the slightest hitch in any respect, and the tourists left the city carrying with them, evidently, very favorable impressions of it. The luncheon at the New-Denison hotel was an entirtly informal affair, as it was intended to be, but was exceedingly sgrceable to all who participated. All the speeches were brief, to the point and in pood taste. Mr. Tasxer, president of the board of trade. Gov. IIovey, Mayor Denxv and Col. Thomas Nelson- spoke with intelligence and great good sense, and paid very little that any patriotic American could take the slightest exception to. It will not be invidious to say that Col. Nelson's effort was especially happy; in fact, the model of an off-hand after-dinner speech. Col. Nelson always shines on euch occasions. Ex-Senator Henderson of Missouri also made a very clever little speech. The visiting statesmen, without exception, acquitted themseves handsomely. The sentiments of admiration end friendship they expressed for the Vnited States evidently came from the heart, and are cordially reciprocated by all the people of this republic. It was noticeable, and highly gratifying, that in none of the speeches was much ltress laid upon the subsidy schemes which certain interests aro trying to promote through the agency of the Pan-American congress, while nearly all the speakers, home and ioreign, democratic and republican, seemed to regard reciprocity in trade as the supreme end toward which the deliberations of the congress must tend. It was immensely gratifying to hear enlightened and liberal si-ntiuients upon thi3 question expressed by tongues which, in recent political campaigns, have been preaching Ine barbarous gospel of isolation and exclusion. It was the appeal "from Thillip drunk to Phillip sober." Upon the whole the occasion was an interesting one, and whatever results may flow from it can hardly fail to be mutually beneficial to the various nations whose representatives mingled together yesterday. The Land Kings on Top. The removal of George W. .Iclian from the surveyor-generalship of New Mexico is only one of many evidences that the territorial land rings are having everything their own way under the administration of many prayers. The recent issue of patents for government lands in the four new states, valued at $10,000,000. gave the rings thousands and tens of thousands of acres of public lands, to which they had neither moral nor legal title, and was an outrage upon these states and the whole country from which generations yet unborn will suffer. A striking illustration of tbe "pull" th land rings have upon the administration is given in the following "Washington telegram to the St. Louis RejndJir: Chares F. Conrad, special agent of the general land office, detailed for duty in California in the investigation of tbe alleged Benson land nrvey frauds, has been removed by ecy. NqJtt.E by telegraph upon the eve of the trial of Joux A. Benson and his alleged accomplices. The dismissal, at this important juncture, of Mr. Conrad, .Iio, for three and a halt years has patiently unravelled the net o ingenionsly woven by Benson and his confederates and who is solely in poseFsion of the evidence upon which the conviction of more than half a hundred .swindlers and the restoration of fi.KA) to the government can be secured, r -ii'3 to li','ht a scandal, it is said, that threatens to inetfaceably blacken the record of President Harrison's administration, and put a IastiDX stizma opon more than one man who is entitled to pit in the highest hall of congress and legislate for this broad land. Agent Conrad is said to have discovered in perpetrating his alleged frauds upon : government, Benson manufactured appli- ' for surveys, nsnally describing land I :cii did not exist or was so located that it : iv.la never be used for settler's purposes. The erring tracts described by him were located in ;he densest wilderness, a device which reduced materially the chances of detection, for, la many cases, they have hardly been traversed by white men. The investigations of Agent Conrad have been almost entirely confined to California, in which state the Benson syndicate frauds are said to amount to more that f'JU.OOO. Benson also operated in Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho. Montana, Dakota, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming and New Mexico. The aggregate of the steal in these states, Mr. Conrad believes, will foot up over fS.COO.Ouu. In the very worst days of Grantism thieves never had such power in the government as they have secured since the 4th of last March. If the Harrison administration keeps on as it has begun, the infamies of the second Grant administration will seem respectable before 1803. The Tariff In the Northwest. Tiie NorÜLwetern Farmer and Breeds, published at Great Falls, Mont, and largo, N. P., is a leading agricultural journal of the Northwest, with strong republican proclivities. In a recent article it declares that the republican policy of protection "docs not represent the western Mea ;" that "the farmers of Dakota and Minnesota, and in fact the farmers and stockmen of the entire Northwest who give the states and territories their republican majorities, are low tariff men, if we except ore class the wool growers;" and that "however much is made of the statement that the republican party rode into power on a strictly tariff issue, it is not a fact, and well informed men do not claim it." The Fanner and Breeder further declares that it has noticed that once a man is led to investigate the tariff "he discovers that it is really a personal matter it affects his success; it enters into the house and touches almost every article in daily use; goes out upon hia farm and lays a heavy tax on all his farm machinery, tools and utensils a tax that brings him no return ir "v shape. It is then that he awakes

to an interest that does not stop until it leads him to an intelligent opinion." The Farmer and Breeder announces that it proposes to devote a large part of its space in every issue to a discussion of this question. "We want," it says, "every reader to follow us closely, because if you do not understand it now, the more reason there is why you should. "When this great question comes up as it is bound to do at the great national contest three years hence, every voter in the United states should comprehend it. It is a duty each one owes to his state and country, as well as to himself and his family. It is one of the last great national questions that are to be answered by the people in the nineteenth century. Is it high or low tariff, or absolute free trade?" The farmers and -took men of the Northwest need the benefit of such fair and intelligent discussion of the tariff question as the Fanner and Breeder promises them. If they ever get their eyes open to the injustice and iniquity of the spoils system, they will make short shift of it. Senator Stanford of California has dismissed all the Chinamen at his vineyards and employed white laborers in their places. This was not done because of any sentimental desire to favor white labor. Senator Stanford is not built that way. lie has probably employed more Chinese labor than ary other man in the United States. But be has become convinced that "white labor is much more profitable than the Chinese, even at the higher wages." No doubt this is true. As a rule, the world over, the labor which receives the highest wages is the cheapest to the employer. The high waged laborer is the most intelligent and the most productive, and, other conditions being equal, the man who employs such labor will distance his competitor who employs lowpriced labor. The mechanic in America w ho gets ?3 per day produces, as a general thing, throe or four times as much as the European mechanic of the same craft who gets SI. 'yO per day; hence his labor, while nominally higher, is actually cheaper to his employer. Yet the protectionists keep on singing the silly old song that the manufacturers of the United States cannot compete with the manufacturers of Kurrpe in neutral markets because of the alleged higher cost of their labor. Give them the same access to räw materials that the manufacturers of competing nations have, and they will outstrip them all in neutral markets, and still pay by far the highest wages, measured by the time standard, in the world. The first manifestation of Jingoism under this administration has had a swift and unhappy sequel. Mr. Miener, the newly-appointed minister to the Central American States, in presenting his credentials to the president of Costa Rica, made eome gratuitous ami very offensive references to Mexico. Mr. Romero, the Mexican minister to the United States, made a prompt protest at the 6tate department, and the result is a letter of abject apology from Secy. Bi.aine. It is known to be the rule in the state department to carefully revise all such addresses before they are delivered, and this leads to the suspicion that Mr. Blaine himself was the author of the offensive remarks made by Minister Misener. Mr. Blaine's feelings toward Mexico were very unfriendly a few years aero, and unless they have greatly changed, it would be quite like him to take this roundabout way of affronting that country. If Mr. Misener insulted Mexico without authority, and against the wishes of the administration, he Mould be summarily recalled. Ve publish this morning the great argument on the tariff question made at Xenia, O., Wednesday by ex-Senator McIonai.p. We call his effort an argument because it was that, and not a stump speech. Mr. McDonald discussed the great question ot the tariff with fullness of information and exactness of logic. Few men in the country are so well equipped as be upon this subject, and few can present the case for reform with such force and clearness. His address is worthy of careful study by all who desire to get at the marrow of the tariff question. Those thousands of starving farmers in North Dakota muf-f derive infinite consolation from the reflection that they enjoy the blessings of a "home market," and that by their votes the' have helped to secure these blessings. Vice President Morton's new saloon at "Washington is said to be already doing a thriving business. No doubt it will prove a paying investment. THE BLIND ASYLUM.

Supt. Jacobs Annual Report Institution In rin CoiKlttion. The trusteei of the blind asylum held their last regular meeting of the year Thursday. Accounts were audited and the year's business generally settled up. Supt Jacobs made his annual report, which was as follows: To the Board ot Trustees: Gr.Mi.EMKN I have tho ploasureof muring tou of the continued prosperity of this institution. ho several department haie I ben thoroughly organized and 'atii-factory proeress has t-en luade iu theiu sine your lat regular lueetiDi. Tbe teachers have been attentive to dutysnd the pupils hare manifested a spirit of earnestness in tlieir studies. We hare enrolled to date 19 pupils, and of theae fifty-six are boys and fifty-three girls. The general health of all is sood. The last fiscal year, which ends on ttls date, has been full of interesting Incidents to us; one of nn-nftu.-il anxiety and rare; one full of earnest effort for the success of the school, and one in which commendable progress has been made. It is not sarin? too much. I hops, when I state that I doubt whether the history of this institution will show better work in the line of caring for and educating the blind childreu of the state than during the year just closed. Respectfully submitted. H. B. Jacobs, Superintendent. Indianapolis, Oct. 31. Protection tnd Poverty. Detroit Free Frees. Ve now see the wives and children of starving Illinois miners sent ont on organized begging expeditions; we hear of riots amontr the unpaid coke workers of Pennsylvania; we know that New England cotton operatives can only liye by giving up life to the two thoughts of work and economy; we know that the woman who makes shirts or trousers for the trade can save her womanly goodness only at the sacrifice of sleep, food, exercise, and by the utter banishment of ail thoughts of pleasure. Starvation was unknown and pauperism rare before the days of the war tariff! Wages were small, in dollars and cents, but their purchasing price was proportionately greater, nd striking the grand average there was then greater comfort, independence and self respecting individuality among workine;men than now. Millionaires of the Tlocke.'eller-Caruegie type were unknown in the early days, whereas they are now found on every railway train, and the question as to whether the rich are in fact growing richer and the poor poorer is answered.

THE SITUATION SIZED UP

FARM PRODUCTS RAPIDLY FALLING. Markets For All Classes of Farm Products Badly Depressed The Financial Out look Full of Interest Some Blessings of the Tariff. Detroit, OcL 20. Special Gillett &. Hall's monthly letter is as follows: Blustering November is already nigh, admonishing eastern shippers to expedite their lake cargoes. Trices of farmers' products continue falling with the autumn leaves. Note quotations; Wheat 70c, against $1.14 last year; corn 32c, against 4,"c; oats 21c, against 30c; cloverseed $3.50, against $0.50; pone $10, against $13; barley $1, against f 1.50, etc. Foreigners can scarcely complain of prices, but are slow buyers of wheat, figuring on getting our Pacific coast crops lacking other outlets at still further reduction. Exports of course grains and meats are heavy. Receipts of northwestern spring wheat are large, indicating a good crop and inability of farmers to hold. Corn and oats, hardly paying to move, are being stored at home, and will walk out on the hoof later on. Winter wheat is mostly of inferior quality. Choice camples are engcrly sought by millers or used to bring up lower grades. stocks at grain centers are small. At Detroit elevator owners gaze sorrowfully on empty bins. Wheat stocks only 300,000 bushels, against 1,30 ),000 bushels last year. Drought in the West and and deluge in the Fast oppose each other with an energy rivaling the contest of the "weU" auJ "drys" on the the temperance question. The growing wheat plant, with little or no root, is ill prepared for winter's vicissitudes. A crop scare might be rather premature at present, but is likely to develop into a certainty neit May. Further west the granger legislator girds on his armor for a deadly fight against trusts and railway syndicates. He fairly loams at rumors of bond purchases and a rise in watered railway stocks. Fossil statesmen can no longer gull him as to the benefits of indirect taxation. "The law will not permit any one to kick you down stairs," advises the attorney as he pockets his retainer. "But I have already been kicked down stairs," responds his aggrieved client. And so the farmers' products, having been kicked way down stairs, it is difficult to convince him that a war tarill'is even "a blessine in disguise." The Pan-American scheme is now ofTered as a panacea for commercial depression. Can America compete with Britain while keeping this list of manufactured commodities -Ö to M per cent, above foreign prices? bagging, carpets, crockery, iron, leather, linen, lumber, silks, woolens, etc. The southern delegates while at Detroit sailed up the placid stream that separates the asylum of tbe hoodlers from one of their favorite fields of operation. They were impressed with the idea that Champagne and partridge are the daily diet of this proud republic. As their palace train glided over western prairies government mentors pointed with pride to "our peaceful peasantry, who complacently kiss the rod that smites them." Will this representative meeting lead to the wise commercial policy that has made little Enzland the banker, manufacturer and carrier of the world? Foreign ailairs show slight chances. The czar and William having kissed and made up, wnr is relegated to a back seat until spring, when we trust a handsome republio may be carved out of Holland, Belgium aud AlsaceLorraine. Directors of the French copper trust syndicate are reported threatened with life imprisonment. Should we undertake to confiue all or.r "smart operators," where would we find jails to hold them? The financial outlook is full of interest Wallst, brokers are wildly scrambling for funds. The trusts are succumbing to deadly broadsides. Savings banks are shaking in their shoes, rinding that western mor'gages fail to satisly clamorouä depositors. Frantic efforts of railways to show increased earnings are resulting in accidents that will necessitate the old expedient of chaining directors on the cow-catchers. Mercantile collections are slow, and farmers poor buyers. A few branches of trade show a spasmodic activity. Iteckless investment of English capital in industrial enterprises is likely to be short lived. Conservative bankers and the London press already sound notes of warning. Capitalists chuckle over increased interests rates, and millionaires, intrenched behind a hedge of high-priced bonds, rejoice that they are safe whatever happens. When discoursing their Thankssiviug turkeys, how few of the plutocracy will give a thought to the hardy western pioneer on whose courage and sacrifices so many of their fortunes are founded? Chill winter approaches. The Nebraska granger sits moodily in the shaky cabin that lumber lords have left within his means. The native blizzard whistles through the cracks, threatening to blow in shreds from his back, a shoddy suit the wool tariff confines him to. He toasts his feet over a fizzling fire of 15 cent corn, and solaces hia attenuated stomach with 10 cent oatmeal gruel. He sighs as he sees his semi-annual interest soon coming due, realizing that his corn crop will hardly bring the cost of carting to market. Dolefully he hums the hymn, "I would not live always, I ask not to stay," but is shocked to reflect that with an undertakers' trust in the field he can scarcely all'ord to die. The beneficent statesman who represents his "deestrict" advises him, as a remedy, to "restrict production." A happy thought strikes him. By offering a liberal divvy to the agent of some "farmers' loan company," he can re-inorteage the farm for twice its value and betake himself to the fascinations of city life. Dumping his goods and chattels on the "prairie schooner," he hitches up his steers and points for some happier haven. Six months hence, about interest day, will be seen some female representative of the Silurian epoch from New England's granite hills, seeking more accurate information as to the investment her spinsters' savings bank has recommended. An abandoned hut and farm, instead of fertile fields, greets her astonished eyes and, inveighing against the depravity of the human race, she flounces homeward to "crive that cashier a piece of her mind, so there." Our granger friend will probably find himself unadar.ted to city life. Every joy has its sorrow. His daughter, Mary Ann, despising domestic service, will prefer the dubious surroundings of factory life. The flash novel from the public library will infect her with false ideas. A "Bridget" must be hired to ruin the family digestion and deplete the paternal pocketbook. Do we picture a scene in some foreign land? No. "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing!" Respectfully yours, Gillett & Hall, Detroit. Mich. A GOOD SHOWING Made By the Report of the Superintendent of the- Reform School. The superintendent of the reform school at Plainfield has turned over to the state treasurer the amounts due from the various counties in the state for the care and instruction of the boys vho have been in the school during tne past six months. The estimated cost for the maintenance of a boy is $120 per annum. The county sending the boy pays one-half of the expense. Eighty-one counties were represented. The eleven counties who sent no incorrigible youngsters during the six morths are Franklin, Jasper, Marshall, Newton, Ohio, Orange, Parke, Ripley, Scott, Clark and Union. Marion sent 101 boys; Vigo, forty-one; Decatur, twenty-two; Allen, twenty; Cass, seventeen: Knox, forty-one, and Vanderburg and Boone, sixteen each. The year has been unusually prosperous, more boys having learned trades than.- in any previous year. The boys have placed in the walls of the tunnels and dwellings about 800,000 brick. The buildings will be heated by steam the coming year. It Stands the Test. Fort Wayne Journal. The Australian ballot system, now the election law of Indiana, is approved wherever it has been tried,and democratic victories seem to follow iu its wake. An honest election means a democratic victory wherever there is a fighting chance. Saved Llf. Time.

THE NEW ELECTION LAW.

'A Manual of Instruction Prepared by brnrlau Darn. The etate senate on tho 11th of March passed a resolution instructing the state librarian to prepare a manual for the instruction of election boards, ''classifying the duties of various officer! under the the election laws parsed at this erosion, and briefly explaining the mode of procedure thereunder." The board of public printing and binding was also instructed to have the earne printed in pamphlet form, together with all election laws. "And when printed," bo the resolution reads, "the same shall be delivered to the secretary of state, who shall distribute tho same to the county auditors of the various counties, averaging ..U0 copies to each county, upon the same basis and in the same proportion that the acts of the legislature are distributed." In accordance with this resolution State Librarian Dunn has prepared a comprehensive manual of the new laws, which, together with these Laws, has been embodied in a neatly printed pamphlet of ninety-five pages, of which some 50,000 copies were delivered to the secretary of etate by State Printer liurford yesterday. State Librarian Dunn has done his work well. In the introduction he gives a concise statement of the theory and general character of the Australian law. Then follows a description of the polling place, as it will be arranged under the new law, illustrated by a diaeram. Then come detailed and explicit directions to voters and all officials charged with duties under the law, classified under the following heads: "Duties of the Voter," "Auditors," "Boards of County Commissioners," "Candidates," "Chairmen of County Central Committees," "Challengers," "Countv Hoard of Election Commissioners,'' "Countv Clerks," "Klection Boards" "Election Judges," "Election Sheriffs," "Governor," "Inspectors" "Poll Clerks," "Printer of Ballots;" "Secretary of State," "State Board of "Election Commissioners," and "Township Trustees," It is only necessary for each class to refer to the matter under the proper heading to learn what he is reouired to do, and what be is forbidden to do under the law. Under each heading reference are made to the governing sections of the statute. The various statutes are thus given in full with the marginal notes, and at the end of the pamphlet is a very complete and carefully-arranged alphabetical index. It is important that voters generally, and especially all public oflirials with duties to perform under the new system should familiarize themselves with the requirements of tha new laws, and this can be most easily and quickly done bv consulting this pamphlet. The pamphlets will be at once distributed to the several counties, and those who desire copies of them can procure them in a few days from the clerk of their countv. MORGAN COMES TO GRIEF. Another Harrison Appointee Caught Violating the Law. f Washington Special. J It is barely possible that Thomas J. Mortran, the commissioner of Indian aflairs, may resign to-morrow. Morgan has been violating the law durinfc the past two or three weeks by sending an address, delivered by him sometime, in rovernment envelopes without the necessary postage stamps. The matter sent was entirely private and the evidence is dead acainst Morgan. He was notified to-day that a warrant for his arrest would be sworn out if he did not resign within forty-eiiiht hours. He was given till tomorrow morning to consider the matter, lie has been sending out very extensively a pamphlet with this heading: "The Education of American Indians: A paper read before the Mohawk Conference. By (ien. Thomas J. Morgan, Commissioner of Indian Atlairs." It is believed that he has mailed over one thousand copies of this namby-pamby address all over the United States without paying postage. He has no more right to mail matter of this kind than any private citizen. Several lawyers in official life were consulted to-day and all declared that Morgan unquestionably violated the law. His insolence while in office has been so intense, his egotism so massive and his selfimportance so great that a numerous crop of enemies has risen up around him, and now that he has put his foot in it so badly, an effort will be made to crush him to the wall. He will decide by to-morrow whether he will resign his office or run the risk of arrest and prosecution. It is certain there is a dead case against him. Dend Men's Works. London 1 it-Bits.
