Diab Firs I received the watch m good shape and am highly pleased with it. It is a correct time-keeper and a finelooking watch. Yours truly, Will Black ketter. To the Editor Sir: The watch which I received from Tue Sentinel is just as represented. It has given perfect saiisfaation in every respect C. X. Pickett. Noble, I1L, Oct. 18. TnE Sentinel has compiled an "Indiana Almanac for 1802," which will be issued this week and which will, we believe, supply a real popular want. The almanac, while containing considerable information about the general government, including the roster of congress and of the executive and judicial departments, will be mainly devoted to Indiana affairs. The etate government, including all boards, commissions, etc., will be given in detail. There will be a complete and accurate list of county officers with their postoffice addresses; the census returns of the state by counties, with the returns for the cities and large towns; election returns of the state for many years, political platforms and nominations; lists of Indiana postoffices and newspapers, summaries of the election laws, school-book laws, game laws, etc., etc.; official crop reports and a great variety of other useful information. A popular feature will be the McKinley tariff ecneduls, arranged in euch a manner as to be intelligible to everybody and to show at a glance the new and the old rates of duty on every article. The almanac will contain nothing of a partisan nature and will prove invaluable to every citizen of Indiana, and especially to public officials, politicians, lawyers, professorial men, merchants and farmers. It will be on sale at all the news stands and on railway trains throughout the state, or may be obtained postpaid from The SenriNEL office. Price 25 cents per copy. It would be interesting to know just how much it cost to return "honest John Sherman" to the senate. But perhaps eenatorial courtesy will prevent any examination of that question. Repealing the McKinlev law and reviving the tariff of 1S83 would leave wool on the dutiable list. Mr. Springer proposes to put it on the free list, where Mr. Cleveland recommended it should be put. It seems, after all, that Mr. Springer doesn't draw his inspiration from Albany or the Sew York .Sun office. A mob in Seward county, Kansas, has dispersed a sheriff's posse, killed the sheriff, and wounded the sheriff-elect. They were looking for the judge, but did not find him. It is only a little row over a county seat, in which twelve men have been killed thus far. If it had occurred down South it would be considered lawlessness by the republican press. Ora patriotic president has imported from Europe a dinner set of 250 pieces which will be used at the cabinet dinner on the 20th of this month duty 60 per cent. Mr. Harrison believes that home products are good enough for common people, but while Uncle Sam pays the bills he can afford to indulge in imported goods. He has gratified his love of native land, however, by having designs of ears cf corn, forty stars and the coat of arms of the United States placed on one side of the dishes and "Harrison, 1S92," on the other. The work was done by the "pauper labor of Europe." The Lafayette Courier says that "whether Dudley wrote the now celebrated 'blocks-of-five letter is a question that has never been definitely settled." Dudley never denied that he wrote the letter. His signature was identified by a score of persons familiar with it. He dismissed his libel suits against the newspapers which published the letter. He refused The Sentinel's offer of $1,000 in cash to come to Indianapolis and swear that he was not the author of the letter. We are curious to know what evidence it would take to establish a fact to the Courier'$ satisfaction. Nearly every representative democratic newspaper ia the West and South disapproves the pose u in policy commanded by Senator Hill. The Chicago Herald, which ia exceedingly friendly to the senator, declares strongly against it. So does the Chicago Times, although its proprietor, Carter Harri son, has never been considered entirely sound on the tariff. Among the other democratic newspapers which take Tue Sfntinel's view touching the Hill program may be mentioned the Louisville Courier-Journal, the St. Louis RepviHie, the Memphis Appeal-Avalanche, the Memphis Commercial, the Nashville American, the Kansas City Times, the Omaha. World-Herald, the" St. Taul' Globe', the Milwaukee Journal, the Detriot Free Prett and the Pittsburg PotL We know of no conspicuous democratic newspaper be tween the Allegheny and the Rocky mountains which indorses the program laid down by Senator Hill in his Elmira and Albany pescbes. Mr. Springer's bill for free wool and a compensating reduction in the duties on manufactured woolens will , meet the ' hearty approval of the democratic, party. It ia not at all in line with the possum

Policy recently proposed at Albany. It is, !

wct au uv lino ui iuo irtuiuuicudations made by President Cleveland in ; his message of 1887. In that document . he urged that wool be placed on the free list and that the duties on woolen goods be reduced proportionately. Mr. Springer makes a good beginning if this bill is correctly described in the press dispatches. Now let him follow up this measure with others of a similar character, placing the raw materials of important industries on the free list and making adequate reductions on the manufactured products into which such materials enter. The house will pass these bills and send them to the senate. If that body rejects them the democrats in congress will at least have done their duty, and when the party goes to the country next summer it can do so with an affirmative policy and can point to pledges honestly fulfilled. A Damnable Conspiracy. There is a way by which the democrats can get at free coinage, or in the direction of free coinage, and still have no free coinage bill. All that is necessary to do is to extend and supplement Governor Hill's plan of repeal. Let us restate that plan with the proposed supplement: Kepeal the two Mckinley laws! Kepeal the Sherman silver law! Kepeal the act of demonetization of 1873! This covers the whole ground. It would enable the democrats to go into the campaign in fighting trim, with no tariff bill to explain and defend, with no free coinage bill to explain and defend. It would simplify the contest, making it aggressive from the 6tart! Atlanta Constitution. This extract from a Hill organ perhaps the ablest of the three or four of that class in the country presents the Hill pro gram in concise and clear form. How simple and innocent it appears! Yet un der its simplicity is concealed the most desperate and villainous scheme that has yet been concocted by the gold-bugs of Wall-et. The theory on which this scheme is explained and defended is that it will simply undo what has been done by the republicans since 1SSS and leave the coun try where it was; and, likewise, the claim of the Constitution is that the repeal of the demonetization act will leave silver legislation where it was prior to 1873. That is w hat has been urged by Governor Hill and his followers in express terms. They know that it is not true, or rather the men who devised the scheme know this, for Governor Hill has merely been a mouthpiece. This project was concocted in special contemplation of the following provision of theU. S. laws. (Rev. Stats., Chap. 2) : Sec. 12. Whenever an act is repealed, which repealed a former act, euch former act shall not thereby be revived unless it shall be expressly so provided. The simple repeal advocated would leave the country without any tariff law whatever, and without any law authorizing the coinage of silver. It would produce absoIate free trade and entire demonetization of silver. These results were anticipated by the money kings who secured the announcement of this policy. An adoption of free trade without any provieion for revenue would necessarily leave the government without means to pay its expenses, and would necessitate a resort to loans from which these capitalists would reap as rich a harvest as they did during the civil war. At the same time silver, reduced to bullion, would fall heavily in value and gold would advance, giving double profit to the 6hrewd manipulators who worked the scheme. As a matter of course widespread business disaster would follow, and out of the misfortunes of their fellow-men the money sharks would secure still further additions to their wealth. Jay Gould, Kussell Sage, Andrew Carnegie and the remainder of the money owners would double and treble their immense fortunes, while ruin would fall upon business generally. It is possible that Governor Hill, was drawn into this conspiracy unwittingly, because he does not seem to know the difference between a financial policy and the Grihya-Sutra of Sankhayana. Mr. Dana also is probably innocent. He is so oblivious to the progress of the world since the era of reconstruction, and is especially so engrossed in his calamitous assaults on ballot reform and the world's fair, that he has fallen an easy prey to the conspirators. When the true meaning of the scheme is pointed out to him ho will rouse like a lion from his troubled slumbers and hurl anathemas at this project for free trade and demonetization of silver. Will some one kindly start a fire under Mr. Dana and turn in an alarm? The Campaign Opens Anspiciotisly. The democratic conventions held in the several congressional districts of Indiana Friday were immensely attended, and were, without exception, harmonious and enthusiastic That there shucid have been, in midwinter and so far in advance of the opening ofthelpresidential campaign, such uniformly large attendance, with such perfect harmony and such lirely interest, is of auspicious significance. It speaks volumes for the morale of the Indiana democracy and promises great things for next November. The proceedings of the conventions happily illustrate the temper of the Indiana democracy. In almost every district aggressive resolutions were adopted on the tariff question. The proposition that the democratio party shall play possum upon this queetion received no second in any quarter. At the convention in Terre Haute Mr. John E. Lamb, the chairman, stated the position of the democrats of Indiana with great cogency and force. They would tolerate no step backward, said Mr. Lamb, and the hearty applause with which this declaration was received proved that however strong the Randall idea may have been among the Eighth district democrats at one time it is now only a memory there. It will be observed that lereral of the conventions singled out G rover Cleveland for special honor, but that none of them paid a similar compliment to that able democrat and distinguished presidential impossibility, Senator Hill, Several of the contentions gave Gov

ernor Gray a cordial indorsement. If there is any person in or out of Indiana who has supposed that The Indianapolis Sentinel has not reflected the sentiment : of the Indiana democracy in its -

position on the tariff question, in its attitude toward presidential candidates, in its contention that the silver issue shall not be permitted to disrupt the party, and in all other respects, he will be undeceived when he reads the proceedings of yesterday's conventions. The new state committee is, we make bold to say, the strongest that has been chosen for many years. Four of the most efficient members of the last committee Messrs. O'Brien, Hoskins, Allen and Herfp are continued on the new committee. The new members are, without exception, men of state reputations and peculiarly qualified for the duties that have been assigned them. The committee will, we feel confident, organize the party speedily and thoroughly, and conduct the cam paign "from Btart to finish" with intelli gence and vigor. The last state conven tion certainly did a wise thing in providing for the selection of the central committee at this time and by the method of district conventions. An excellent beginning has been made under the new system. The committee is an excellent one ; it will make no mistake in the selection of a chairman indeed, it can hardly do so with the material available, and the outlook for a thorough organization and an aggressive campaign is as favorable as could be desired. Crime and Pauperism in Paris. The current number of the Fortnight!; Review contains a very interesting paper by a French writer, M. Hughes le Kux, in which certain phases of crime in Paris are discussed. M. le Rouy. shows that there has been an alarming increase of crime in Paris during the last few years, which is attributed largely to the growing prevalence of general paralysis and alcoholic insanity. The figures of the chief medical officer of the prefecture of police show that lunacy has increased some 30 per cent. in Faris during the last sixteen years. The amount of alcoholic insanity has doubled since 1870. Almost a tbird of the lunacy is of this character and its tendency is violent and homicidal. It is frequently transmitted from parent to child, and this fact is said to explain the extreme youthfulness of many of tho Parisian murderers. Youths of twenty or under now perish by the guillotine not infrequently. Until a few years ago the murderers of the French capital were almost invariably persons of mature years. It is only recently that any provision has been made in Paris for the differentiation of outcasts and vagabonds from actual criminals. Even today any person who asks for bread or a night's lodging exposes himseit to the chance of being branded as a criminal for life. Some time since the municipal council of Paris sent a commission to several other countries to study their methods of dealing with vagrancy. The work of this commission has resulted in the establishment of several refuges for vagrants in different parts of Paris. Among other buildings now devoted to this u?e is the Palais des arts liberaux in the Champsde Mars, one of thestructures erected for the great world's fair of lSS'.i. M. le Roux gives a vivid description of the kind of places to which these unfortunates report at night when they do not have access to these refuges: "They sleep in cellars below the ordinary cellars of wine shops. Here they are allowed to remain till 2 in the morning on the payment of 2 sous. They are then turned out and are readmitted at 4 on the payment of another 2 sous. In the interval they go to the markets in search of some lieht work, or beg or steal. The reason of the closing at 2 is that the police consider these cellars as public houses. In rags and with gaping shoes, heavy with sleep, they crawl dow a to the quays. The police do not allow them to sit down or to stand, and if they have not the 2 sous they must keep moving till morning." Truly, the lot of these mieerables is one of wretchedness past describing. Their number is increasing, and tho problems of crime and pauperism are becoming more serious every year in the great French capital. New York and tho Presidency. To the Editor Sir: I am a member of the Jacksonian club of this county. We subscribe for and read your paper and in most things we admire its teachings. I however notice in your editorial celumns of Dec 30 an article quoted, with your approval, from the Kansas City Time, which I do not approve. The article quoted begins thus: "In the national convention Mr. Cleveland will have solid delegations from Missouri and Kansas," and the article continues that unless New Yorkers do combine on the man selected by Kansas, which never cast a democratic electoral vote, the Kansas democrats wilL combine to deprive New "l orkers of the candidate, even though we might offer the convention a sterling democrat who could promiso the much-needed thirty-six electoral votes of this state with the almost absolute certainty of being able to deliver them. It seems to me that the Kansas City Tun and yourself have taken an illogical position. Why do you concede us the nomination at all? Evidently because you desire to make certain our thirty-six electoral votes. But in tendering us the nominee you couple with it the condition that we must choone a man who has demonstrated his inability to carry the etate. We are as anxious for victory in '92 as our brother democrats elsewbere. o know that if given the candidate of our choice we can bring to the electoral college the thirty-six votes of this etate. If the convention deprives us of the possibility of victory by forcing upon us an unpopular candidate or depriving us of the use of a name which is the synonym of victory, how a n we be held responsible? We wart to be in harmony with our brother democrats throughout the union but, however much we may admire Mr. Cleveland, we think we are justified in preferring a sterling democrat who can succeed to another good democrat who cannot. I wish you would give this letter a place in your paper and also give ma the privilege of responding to any comments you may see fi t to make upon it. Yours truly, John kelly, Chairman Dem. Co. Com. Malone, Franklin County, Sew York. The article referred to was not a threat of combination to deprive New York of anything, but merely an endeavor to im press a few facts on the minds of New York politicians. There appears a diffi culty in that quarter to understand the progress of the democratic party in the last ten years. It is no longer a partyof opposition merely. It is, in the Mississippi valley at least, a party of principle, and oae that is determined to be aggressive.

If our correspondent has read other western journals as carefully as he reads The Sentinel he has probably noted that this is not a sentiment peculiar to this paper, nor even to this state. And in this matter the press speaks the fpelings of the people. It is no newspaper clamor and no fictitious argument for political purposes. We stated what we believe will result in the convention, and we believe it because the politicians in the West know the people of the West. In ail frankness, there is only one prominent democrat in New York who can command at the polls the strength of his party and the portion of the independent vote which is necessary to carry any western state.

If the gentleman with a "name which is the eynonym of victory" were nominated he could not carry any western etate. We state this as a matter of fact. and there are two reasons for it. In the first place he is not known to be an ad herent of any political or economic prin ciple. If injustice is done him in this regard it is because his utterances are such as to produce that opinion. In' the second place the one New York democrat who has shown the quality of statesmanship is universally believed in the West to have demonstrated his inability to carry the state" of New York, not because of any honest objection to him, but because he waa deliberately knifed by certain of his party associates. It is claimed that this is unjust, but much better evidence of it must be produced than has yet been shown before the western democracy ill believe it. The western democracy does not believe in rewarding party treason. The argument of New York's thiity-six electoral votes is one that has had much weight in previous democratic conventions, but it will not have the same weight in the next one. There are several western states that are gradually coming under democratic control. The democrats in those states have local interests which they will not sacrifice for the purpose of conciliating the New York machine. They will not consent to a platform or a nominee that will injure them at home by allying them to retrogression. The western democracy has been gaining ground by standing for principle and progress, and it means to keep on in the same line. If New York cannot be satisfied with a candidate who will be acceptable to the rest of the country then New York may go. She is in no position to domineer or to frighten the party with her thirty-six votes. Unless we much mistake democratic sentiment in the West the party would far prefer succeeding without New York to succeeding with her. Sentimentality and Diegrace. If there is anything calculated to disgust an impartial observer with American civilization it is the way we have of rob bing and oppressing live Indians while we eetimentalize over dead ones. There has never been a time when the red man was treated worse than now, and in the midst of it is announced the completion of a monument to Red Jacket, at Forest Lawn cemetery in BuÖalo, which is to be unveiled with "ceremonies" in the spring. Tho idea is to show the respect of Americans for the "savage virtues" of the chief, and just at present these same Americans are holding in exile from his people and his native home the Nez 1'erces chief, Joseph, who is as honest, able and noble an Indian as ever lived, merely becausehe fought when we robbed him of his home, without any pretense of right or justice. The thing is the more farcical because Red Jacket himself would never hare consented to it. In 1852 George Copway, the noted Indian lecturer, visited Red Jacket's grave, and, unknown to the Indians, disinterred his remains and took them to Buffalo, where ho inaugurated a movement for a monument to him. An educated Cayuga chief who was present at the address nade by Copway arose and replied as follows : No! as Red Jacket forbade the pale faces to follow him to his grave, so he forbids them to desecrate his bones with tlieir touch. Red Jacket wants no monument from the hands of the white men. He erected for himself a lasting memorial. It i here in the hearts of his people and of his kindred. His name will not perish, though no marble be raised to his memory. He lives in these hearts of ours, and will live as long as one heart beats in the breast of the red roan ! As the son of a Seneca, I object to the white man's subscribing anything for this purpose or marking in any manner the place where bis bones are deposited. Let not your benevolence be misguided, nor your philanthropy misdirected. I have done. The result of these pointed remarks was that the monument scheme was abandoned. The Indians carried the remains back to Cattaraugus and buried them on the reservation. A few years ago the Buffalo historical eociety renewed the agitation, and in 1884 tho remains of the great Iroquois were taken up and buried at Forest Lawn. The funds for the monument and statue were finally raised by private subscription, and the last act of oppression "to desecrato his bones" is 6oon to be finished. With what appears to be some tingling of conscience, however, the following words of Red Jacket are placed on the pedestal of the monument: When I am gone and my warnings are no longer heeded the craft and avarice of the white man will prevail. My heart hails me when 1 think of my people bo soon to be scattered and forgotten. Surely, if a voice can ever speak from the grave, the words of this intrepid warrior arid matchless orator, who fought while he could and submitted only when he must, might well call the American people to a halt in the shameless and contemptible policy they are now pursuing toward the wretched remnant of his race. The Eastman company, manufacturers of photographic materials, is an American concern, with headquarters at Rochester, N. Y. It has also a branch at 115 Oxfordet., London. It issues price lists from both places, and a comparison of the same is at once interesting and instructive. The following table gives the London and American quotations on "Eastman's bromide paper:" Lrmiion Amrri price per cam Size. dot. ihteti. priee.

rapher gets his supplies from this American firm at only a little more than onehalf as much as the American photographer has to pay. The McKinley tariff increases the rates on albumenized paper from 15 to 35 per cent ad valorem, in order, we suppose, to "protect American labor against the pauper labor of Europe." Under the shield of this protection the company above mentioned charges its American customers 50 per cent, more for its goods than it charges its English customers. " We have here a very striking illustration of the practical workings of McKinleyism. The re-election of John Sherman to the U. S. senate illustrates anew the potency of money in American politics, and es

pecially in legislative elections of senators. This does not necessarily mean that there was any great amount of direct bribery in the contest. As to that we have no information. But it does mean that it was the money power the so-cailed "business interest" the influence of Wall-st., the banks and the money-lending classes generally to whose service Mr. Sherman has been devoted during his entire public career it was these agencies, supplemented by the efforts of the administration, which returned John Sherman to the senate against the wishes of a majority of the republicans of Ohio. We think there can be no doubt that if the republicans of Ohio had voted directly for U. S. senator, Foraker would have beaten Sherman easily. That does not speak very well for the republicans of Ohio, but it is true fer all that. It is well known that a majority of the republican senators and representatives in the Ohio legislature were "Foraker men" when they were nominated, end were, in fact, nominated for that reason. They were converted to Sherman after the election. The whole proceeding illustrates anew the desirability of electing U. S. senators directly by the people as proposed by Mr. Tukpie. The people of Ohio prefer. Foraker to Sherman, and certainly they should be allowed to have their way. Whatever tends to build up varied industries in Indiana, like glass-making, machinery-jnaking, furniture-making and the proposed tin-plate-making, is the greatest help of the farmer. Is there a farmer in Indiana who does not know this, and that these manufactories ran only be secured by a protective tariff? Journal. Every intelligent farmer in Indiana every one who is at all familiar with the history of his state and his country knows that nearly all the great industries in Indiana had their beginning under the "free trade tariff," which existed from 1846 to 1801. The Journal knows this, too. It also knows that the Marion county farmer does not get a cent a bushel more for his wheat because of his proximity to factories. The price is regulated by the price obtained for the surplus in European markets. It goes ud and down just as the foreign demand goes up and down. The Journal of course understands this, and it ought to understand that the farmers of Indiana Also understand it. The home market dodge is played out in this part of the world. John Sherman is an overrated man. Since he entered congress he has been on every side of the economic and financial questions which have engaged the attention of the country, and yet there is a prevalent notion that he has been a persistent and consistent upholder of protection and "honest money." He has accumulated an immense fortune on a salary of $5,000 a year how, nobody knows yet he is regarded by many as the personification of probity. He is a coldb!ood3d, selfish, calculating man, but his ability, his dignity and his courtesy have given him a position before the country to which he is not fairly entitled. However, he is a much more attractive figure than Fouakek, who is a loud-mouthed blackguard, a braggart, a bully, and a good deal of a rascal, as his course in the ballot-box forgery business two years ago showed. Sherman is a calculating demagogue, but he is in every way preferable to the cheap blatherskite who tried to displace him. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. J. V. II., city: John G. Whittier, Amesbury, Mass. 15. W. S., Carson, Ind. : The government pays net to exceed $1 for 371.25 grains of pure silver, upon which silver certificates are issued. Sukscrirer, Danville, 111.: At the end of the fiscal year (June 30) 1S61 the outstanding public debt was $00,582,416.57. In 1S05, at the close of the war, the public debt was $2,684,1)29,011.97. In 1791 the public debt was $14,641,0S8.45, contracted by both the continental and national congresses on account of the revolutionary war chiefly. Democrat, Haughville, Ind. : The piano offered by The Sentinel for the best guess on the population of the United States is awaiting the winner, and would have been in his possession a year ago could the exact figures have been obtained from the census bureau. All the other census prizes were awarded months ago. We hope to be able to deliver the piano to the proper person within a very few days. A. S. Tilford, M. D., Hall, Ind. : Sec. 2 of the act approved April 11, 1S85, provides that to entitle any one to practice medicine in this state some one of the following, facts must appear, towit: (1) A diploma issued by a reputable medical college; (2) proof of ten years' continuous practice prior to April 11, 1885; (3) that the applicant has practiced medicine for three years prior to April 11, 1SS5, and in addition thereto has taken one full course of lectures in a reputable medical college. It is unlawful to practice medicine without possessing some one of these qualifications. See Elliott's supplement, sec. 1.713. A Fakmeu, Farmersburg, Ind. : (I) "Free coinage" and "unlimited coinage" are commonly used with the same meaning. (2) Under "free coinage" any owner of silver bullion could take the bullion to the mint and get it coined into standard silver dollars upon payment of purely nominal mint charges. A similar privilege is now accorded to the owners of gold bullion, but since 1873 it has been denied to the owners of silver bullion. (3) The advocates of free coinage The Sentinel among them do not believe that this country would become the "dumping ground" of the world's silver under free coinage, because they believe a parity between the two metals would soon be established which would remove any inducement for the "dumping" process. The opponents of free coinage take the opposite view, but as their predictions hereUtSÄta bay? generally failed of fulfillment

they are more than likely wrong about this. But this is a matter of opinion, and no one can be absolutely sure what the consequences cf free coinage will be until the experiment has been actually tried. The question is one upon which the best and wisest men in the country differ. ABOUT WATCHES.

What the State Sentinel Can Do for You and Where the Header Can Save Money.

All of this trash occupied sixteen columns, and there were many columns more devoted to assignation advertisements and other matter of that kind. It had no book reviews, no literary, art or dramatic criticism, no editorials, no foreign correspondence, and scarcely anything in which intelligent and refined people could be supposed to take an interest. Yet among such people thero are many who read the Enquirer on the ground that it is a newspaper. Strange, isn't it?. Jan. 5. News. HrfWtion. fj. A. Mseoa ia January Century.

A FINE HISTORY OF INDIANA

"THE SENTINEL'S" GREAT PREMIUM FOR 1892. What Kz-PrcsldsB Cleveland and Seaators Voorhee and Turpi Say of It. PI? M ADION-A VF.. ) New Yoi k, Not. 3, lSL J My Dear Mr. Morss Please accept my thanks for the "History of Indiana" which you kindly sent me. The examination I have been able to give it is sufficient to justify me in expressing the opinion that it contains a great amount of historical information presented to the reader in a most pleasant way. I do not see why it should not prov itself a very useful book. Yours truly. 4What Senator Voornees Say. United States Senate, Washington, I). C., OcL 3a J Indianapolis Sentinel Company: Gentlemen I am just in receipt of the "History of Indiana" which has just been given to the public by Mrs. Thomas A. Hendricks. I have looked through it with some care, and say sincerely tbat I am delighted with it. It ought to go in the hands of all our people. The young will receive instruction from it, and those advanced in life will be pleased by the recollections it awakens. The people ot Indiana I think are not sufficiently aware of the real growth and greatness of their 6tate. It requires, in fact, but little etuJy to ascertain, and not much effort to show, that Indiana according to area is the greatest and most productive state in the Union, and possessed of greater and more extensive educational advantages than any other commonwealth of equal population in the world. These facts should be taught everywhere among our people. I fully believe in the doctrine of state pride, especially when there is a eolid foundation for it. Such a publication as the one now before me is well calculated to inspire the young and old alike of Indiana with just and laudable sentiments of pride and gratitude. It is indeed a most charming book. The likenesses, taken altogether are the best I have ever seen in engravings of their character. Please accepl my sincere thanks and believe me always vory faithfully yours. What Senator Törpt Says. Indianapolis, Nov. 7. J S. E. Morss, Esq., Indianapolis, Ind: My Dear Sir I have carefully read "The Popular History of Indiana," and have verified its data by comparison with older and larger works. It is an excellent abridgement of our state annals, elegant, accurate, in style admirably adapted to the character of the book. The table of contents and list of illustrations make 8 very complete index, adding to its practical use for r?ady reference. Yours truly, What Ei-tiMirnor Gray Says. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 11, 1891. The Sentinel Company. Indianapolis, Indiana; Gentlemen I have examined a copy of your illustrated "Popular History of Indiana." It is in my judgment an admirable epitome of leading events and mention of personages in both territorial and state history. It appears to have been carefully and intelligently compiled, and certainly will be inspiring and instructive to the young reader, as well as favorably received by all who feel a patriotic interest in the subject to which it pertains. I trust it may obtain a wide circular tion. Very respectfully, r Th) Theologlaal Book of the Year. Tho Iter. C. A. Brig,,-s ia North American Ketlew for January. J The year 1S.H has been fruitful in great theological writings. Oxford has produced no less than three of these, by Canon Driver, Principal Gore and Canon Chevne. Canon Driver gives a masterly exposition of the present state of opinion as to the criticism of the entire literature of the Old Testament. Principal Gore gives an able and brilliant statement of one ot the most important topics of Christology. But the Bampton lectures of Canon Chevne on the "Origin and Religious Contents of the Psalter, in the Light of Old Testament Criticism and the History of Religion," constitute, in our estimation, the most important theological work of the year. These lectures were delivered in 1SS9, but liret appeared in print in the summer ot 1891. The author is somewhat cramped by the form of the lecture, but he baa managed by numerous notes and appendices to give the freshest, richest and most fruitful piece of criticism that has appeared for many a year, showing an amount of original research and a wealth of knowledge that can hardly be surpassed by any biblical scholar now living.
