Having been in possession of therevised Kncyclopa-dia. iritannica about two weeks I am ichly pleased, with it. I marvel at he extreme low price tlt.it yon furnish tat. Bein-ra student I lirul it or great nefit to me in the solution of a great Jrnany perplexing question. I believe that all young readers or "The Sentinel' should have it, and many thanks to von for having been the medium through which I have been made able to procure so useful a book, which I consider the best investment that I ever made for so snail an amount of money. "William D. Pakr. Lamong, Ind., Feb. 20. "Under the Maples." The aerial story, "A Splendid Egotist," Is finished in this issue of The Sentinel. Next week we will begin the publication of a new romance entitled "Under the Maples, or the Test of Character." Our readers will find it an entertaining story of American village life. It is not wildly eensational, filled with descriptions of improbable things or persons, but quiet and pleasant sketches cf life in a small town of New York Btate. It is not devoid, however, of interesting incidents, and the characters are all clear cut and drawn with an original and master hand. The plot develops naturally and with increasing interest until it ends pleaeantly with a Btriking and unexpected revelation. TrtAT English farmer who so effectually stood of" the white caps with an axe ought to come to Indianapolis and confer with Governor Chase, who is supposed, in certain misinformed quarters, to be seeking a means of suppressing whitecapism in Indiana. Mb. Cleveland declines to be interTiewed on the presidential situation. Mr. Cleveland at the present time seems less worried over the presidential possibilities of the future than any ether mania America. It has always been a prime article in Mr. Cleveland's political faith that the American people are thoroughly capable of settling these matters for themselves. Many eastern drug stores have adopted the precautionary measure of having two persons attend the preparation of any prescription containing poisonous drugs. The Medical Record calls attention to the Harris murder trial in New York as an illustration of the importance of this check, becau-e, "if a single clerk received the prescription, prepared the capsules and delivered them, it might readily have been claimed by the defense thai a mistake had been made by the druggist. As It was, the druggist was able to go on tho Itand and testify that an assistant had also read the prescription and seen the tmount of morphine which it called for properly weighed and dispensed." ' Col. Albert A. Pope of Boston has taken a novel means of arousing an interest in a very important, though muchneglected, question that of good country roads. He offers 100 Columbia bicycles to the authors of the 100 best essays on the subject, the competitors to be permitted the widest possible latitude in the discussion of the topic. Col. Pope's ecbezne is likely to prove especially valuable from the fact that it is likely to arouse interest among the young men the class of men to whom the solution of the trreat problem of good country roads wid largely be left. The requirements of the contest are merely that each es-ay must be at least 500 words in length, must be published in the home paper of the author end that a printed copy be sent to Col. Pope. Occasionally light may be obtained by putting th';3 and that together. The Philadelphia Times, reviewing the situation with its "cola, gray eye," observes: It muet be apparent to. all tho friends of Senator Ilir.L who are safe from incarceration in a lunatic asylum that Hill has no more chance for the democratic nomination for president than ha Councilman "William McMi llkn of tnis city. Poth are useful men in politics in their way. Both accept the same methods, and they differ only in the degree cf eminence they have attained ; but while Hill is not in the race himself he may be a great factor for evil, and it is not entirely impossible that he may give the republicans the next president, as his friends gave IIarhison the presidency in 1SS.S. "We hardly think that any sane man who is accustomed to looking beyond his ward boundaries in politics will question the accuracy of this statement, or that Mr. Hill understands it thoroughly. "What then does he mean by his kodak convention? His organ, the New York Sun, explains. It concludes one of its bit ter defamatory articles on ex-President Cleveland with the following: The political death chair is ready; and pot all the -kickings of the condemned cor all the wailing of his gang can postpone the execution. There is the whota situation in a nutshell. The Hill crowd in New York haa no hope of success for itself. All it wants is to kill the man it thought it had successfully assassinated in 1SSS. It would be a just retribution for the democratic party to put David B. Hill into that very chair and turn on the electric current. Seceitaky Noble, in his testimony Friday in the . Raum case, announced a brand new role of action in the matter of dealing with dishonest public, servants. He said that in view of young Raum's relationship to the commissioner he permitted him, after his dishonesty had been discovered, to draw his salary from the government and retain his place until Le could secure another position. This ia a moral rule as unique as novel in America. 'It has been supposed to cre-

rail to Bomo extent in the effste countries of Europe, where scions of nobility are allowed considerable moral latitude because of their relationship to prince;. To the lay mind it would appear that young Racm's relationship to the commissioner rather aggravated than ameliorated the seriousness of his o"ense. Secretary Noble's explanation will hardly be favorably received by the American people, though it may be entirely consistent in a member of an administration whose chief bases his claims to popular consideration on the fact that he is the grandson of his grandfather.

The Independent Vote. There has never been a presidential election in the history of the country when it behooved political parties to look more carefully to the influence of reason than the present one. On every hand there are evidences of discontent and dissatisfaction with party management. In some of the southern states the allianco element has taken control of the democratic organization. In Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota it has overthrown the republican organization. In Louisiana an uprising of moral Eentiment would have destroyed the democratic party but for the withdrawal of the lottery issue. In New York thousands of prominent democrats are in open rebellion against the machine. Tho in dustrial third party movement has come before the country in moro compact shape and on a more intelligible basis than ever before. If these things mean anything they mean that the independent voter is going to have a great deal to say at the election of 1S92. And by independent voters we mean not only those who ally themselves with independent organizations, but also those on whom party bonds rest -lightly when party action is not satisfactory. It will bo of interest to note the manifestations of this unruly element (unruly from a party standpoint) in the states where its action may prove most significant. First of these is New York, and the following table shows the results of its more important elections since 1870 : Trial rete. Erp. jii.nr.

In 1S72 both demonstrated that the rjekribbed democrat could not stomach Greeley, and in lsjSO both states went against the proposition that the tariff was a local issuo. Beyond this they differ essentially. The great fluctuations in New York are due chiefly to the cheerful practice of "knifing" that has prevailed there. In 1S7'.) Kokinson" would have been elected had not John Kelly run against hi n p.s the Tammany candidate, polling 77,5t;r, votes. In 1SS2 the republicans did the knifing and Cleveland received his phenomenal majority. In ISS 1 tho counter republican knifing partly neutralized the Tammany support of Ben Bitleh and let Cleveland throuah again. In Harrison, 13,002; Hill, 19,171. Indiana has no such record. Aside from the effects of money, the fluctuations in her vote have been due chiefly to the legitimate effects of argument on the minds of the independent cla.s. Of course there is always the effect of local issues, disappointed office-seekers and thelike, but these figures demonstrate the necessity of satisfying tho thinking and reascninz man. With factional strife laid aside New York is much more certainly democratic than Indiana. In Indiana neither of the great parties has had a majority ot all the votes cast since 1S74. There is no reason to believe that either will have a majority in the present year. Four parties are entitled to place on the ballots for convention nominations. The struggle of tho great parties, therefore, is not only against each other, but also to prevent their voters from being drawn into the ranks of the independent organizations. The amount of defections to these will be moro likely to settle the outcome of the campaign than will the changes from one party to the other. In 188S the people's party vote was 2,!M. In 1S'.0 it rose to 17,51)4, which was the largest third party vote cast in Indiana in the period covered above, except in 187, when tho greenback party cast its greatest vote of L9,44s. The prohibition vote roso from 9,881 in ISaS to 12,100 in lS',-0. It draws about equally from both parties. In 189) the people's party drew chiefly from the republican ranks. Its effect in 1S92 will depend partly on the action of congress and partly on the candidates presented. The Albany Convention. If the convention which met at Albany on Monday had been held at the usual time, had been chosen by the usual methods, and had been, as it was not, a representative party gathering, its recommendation as to the democratic presiden tial nomination would have carried, as it ought to have done, great weight with the party throughout the country. We do not say it wouid have been conclusive, for we believe the time has gone by when the democracy of even a state eo important and powerful as New York could dictate either nomination or platform to tho national democracy. But the convention which met at Albany Monday was not held at the usual time, was not chosen by the usual methods, and was not in any sense a representative body. It was a product of machine politics, pure and simple of machine politics such as would not be tolerated in either party outside of New York or Pennsylvania. It was held many weeks in advance of the time usually fixed for such assemblages. It was held at a season when throughout the state travel and communication are difficult and extraordinary obstacle exist to the assembling of democratic citizens in their respective county seats for the selection of delegates. A careful estimate shrtrtvs that less than twenty thousand persona participated fi in the caucuses at

which these delegates were chosen, being but an insignificant fraction of the democracy of the Empire state. In many counties democrats who were not in sympathy with the machine program were denied the privilege of participating in these caucuses. In New York City the tens of thousands of democrats who do not march under the Tammany banner had literally no voice in the selection of delegates. In several counties where the anti-Hill democrats were in a majority at the caucuses the minority chose distinct lists of delegates, who were declared to be "regular" by the party committee and who were admitted to the convention. In a majority of counties the great body of democrats held entirely aloof from the caucuses. It is idle to say that a convention chosen in this manner can speak with an authoritative voice for the democracy of the great etate of New York, or that its action can have, or ought to have, any special weight with the party throughout the.country. On the contrary, representing, as it does, methods which are abhor

rent to every true democrat everywhere to every man who believes in fair play and majority rule the Albany convention has pointed a way in which the democratic party of the country cannot travel except it would invite disaster overwhelming and irremediable. The Industrials. Notwithstanding the indications at several times that it would develop into a free fight, the national industrial conference was carried through in a fairly creditable manner. Ignatius Donnelly appears to have been the man at the helm, and he succeeded in making a cipher of everything that did not suit him. The prohibition element was tossed out of the convention by aid of the woman's suffrage element, and then the woman's 6uilrage element was set out alongsido the prohibitionists. Asa reeult the convention secured a reasonably compact declaration for radical paternalism, but with the good democratic limitation that taxation "shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the government economically and honestly administered," perched on it like the figure of a saint on the summit of a vaudeville theater. The platform demands "a just, equitable means of circulation at a tax not to exceed 2 per cent., as set forth in the subtreasury plan of the farmers' alliance, or tome better rystem." Tho alternative might reasonably be accepted by almost any one, and yet it seems well fitted to retain the support of the most rabid sab-treasury agitator. It is at ones Bacon ian and Shak9perean. The demands for postal savings banks, government telegraph, government telephone and government railroads are explicit nn 1 emphatic. They o'ight reasonably to draw to the third party tno Kupport of every Bellamyite in the country. Tho effort in the paternal line is capped by a Lid for the soldier vote in the sharo of a demand for paying all Union poldiers tho difference between their wages received in depreciated currency and tho market value of gold coin. Tho laud plank, which objects to railroads and other corpoiations holding lands "in excess of their actual needs," is not so clear as it might be. Corporation people think they actually need all they can get hold of. Tho freo coinage and graduated income tax planks will meet approval from many persons w ithout respect to party lines, and are the strongest features of tho document. There is one remarkable oversight in the platform. To be consistent witu the expressed paterna ism there ought to have been a strong plank in favor of a tariff for the protection of American labor and the building up of our infant industries. This matter, however, is entirely ignored, with the exception of an allusion in the introductory part to "a sham battle over the tariff." From this it may be inferred that the convention desired to have the tariff left cs it is. There is also in tho introduction a denunciation of the old parties for not heeding "the outcries of a plundered people" in regard to "rings, trusts, watered stocks," etc., but strangely enough tho platform gives no further voice to tho outcries mentioned; not even President Harrison's failure to enforce the anti-trust law is referred to. This, coupled with the notorious fact that the tarifT i3 the most prolific source of rings, combines and trusts, demonstrates that the new political lights have determined to lay aside altogether the greatest political question of the day and make their fight on comparatively unimportant propositions. The licrlin lliots. That was a neat and effective, though very palpable, trick of Emperor William to ride, practically unattended, into the midst of the riotous throngs which packed L'nterden Linden and made the air trem ble with their "eeditious" cries. But it really required but little courage, and it probably deceived no one, not even the emperor himself. It is very doubtful if, in any quarter of Berlin or Germany either for that matter there is any considerable animosity against Emperor Will iam's person. He is not in himself great enough to create either a strong admira tion or a pronounced hostility. Blsmap.ck was hated, feared or reverenced, according to the position and character of his beholder, because in him people saw a man stronger than the system he represented a creator of things. The present em peror is not a creator, he is a creation ; and the Berlin rioters, recognizing th&t fact, are protesting, not against the emperor, but the existent order of things which he represents. Therefore, the mere fact that the emperor showed himself to the mob may be dismissed as a very paltry piece of mock heroism. But the servile plaudits of his people cannot drown the cries which have gone up at the emporor's pates in the past two days. Nor is it at all probable that the people will be deterred irom their purpose or their discontent be allayed by any boyish exhibition of personal bravado. The time for that has passed. The people of Germany have grievances of a serious nature and are not to be easily put off without a hearing. The young William, by his arrogant speeches and the vicioupneas of his proposed legislation, has opened the eyes of the German people to the pos sibilities of their present governmental system, and they are cot at all pleased ith the view. The recent demonstrations in Berlin are but the suriaco indications oi sue aeeo-

8eated and almost universal feeling of unrest throughout the empire. These demonstrations in themselves are probably not dangerous and may be brushed aside with the batons of the police or the sabers of the cavalry. These riots are but the spray dashed up from a turbulent pea of popular thought which, when once its full strength is roused, will sweep with resistless force over not only the puny emperor, but the governmental system on which he stands. The revolution may be as peaceful as that which in a day changed Brazil from an empire to a republic, or it may be a3 grisly and terrible as that which choked the gutters of Paris with the life blood of the sristocrats. But it is coming swiftly and surely. It may be postponed by wise legislation and liberal administration. William III may, if he choose, make ior himself enduring fame as a friend of humanity by concessions to the growing democratic sentiment, or he may, as seems more likely from his recent course, make

himself the target for the blows which shall wipe out the whole monarchical system in Germany. Oue or the other he will certainly do soon. Events are rushing headlong to a crisis and the beginning of the end is not far in the future. Tho Voico of Indiana. In Indiana the democrats are talking about Hill and Gray, and the talk is not confined to Indiana by any means. At lanta Constitution. It is perhaps not of eo mnch interest to know that democrats in Indiana are talk ing about Hill and Gray as it is to know what they are raying. Governor Gray has certainly spoken plainly and repeat edly in regard to it. Ho has said that he is not a candidate for the vice-presidency, and that he is not forming or countenancing any alliances with either faction in New York. There are, however, a few Hii.l men who, while professing to be frienda of Governor Gray, are trying to secure a delegation favorable to Hill under cover of the name of the Indiana candidate. This fact is doing more injury to Governor Gray than anv other one thing, unless perhaps it may bo such publications by Hill papers as the above extract. There is not the slightest question that 90 per cent, of the democrats of Indiana would be for any candidate that has been nan.ed as against David B. Hili, That is a simple matter of fact, and as the eprliest available demonstration of the sentiment we call attention to the following report of the primaries at Torre Ilaute from our issue of yesterday: Tkrke Haute, Feb. 20. The demo cratic primaries tonight to e cct dele gates to the state convention were in all caeee the mist exciting ever held in Torre Haute. T:ie qv.e.,ii;n v a : Cleveland or Gray? an i it was a tattle from start to finish. A.I ten vir.rds of the city were conti sted by Loth sides, mnl separate ticke ts were run. l our of the delegates elected are for Cleve land and six for I in ay, but several of the Ixtfr wiil vote for Cleveland for second choice. Not one of thedfdegate -s for Iln.i , and at the Fourth ward primarv Hill's nam:? met with such a shower of his.-c:J that it seemed nearly unanimous. The fight in the First war.

Ii mill tho anti-Cleveland delegate No other is-ue w as injected and it v;:s a square up and down lijht, Ball winning by nearly 5 to 1. This result is more significant than appears on its face. It is w -31 known that Terrc Ilaute is tho heme of Senator VoonH ees, and that he has been strongly opposed to the nomination of Cleveland, and has advocated the nomination of Governor Gray. It is also a locality in which there is perhaps a larger per cent, of what are known as "protection democrats" than anv other in tho atata. and Mr. Ball is a tariff reformer who is not afraid of . . . . , ,. ,, . the nanie of free trader. It is the residence of Mr. 15. 1. Havens, executive commissionerof Indiana's board of world's lair managers, who ha earned the reputation of being tho most audible Hill in TnHi.nn T. ro.nll th.r. fore, gives a conservative idea of what will probably occur elsewhere. We do not believe theri is a ward or township in the state from which any democrat can bo elected to the state convention who will announce that he is for Hill and Gray and make his ficht on that proposition, or even if he announces that he is for Gray with Hill second choice. If there is any Him. democrat in Indiana who thinks we are mistaken we challenge him to a trial. He may pick his location and his man. All we ask is public notice of the undertaking at least one week before the primary. Wo assert tnat if any delegate goe3 to tho national convention from Indiana who is for Hill as first, second or any choice, it will be because he was elected under false pretenses. The Xcm, which professes to bo the friend of labor when labor is not in trouble, and which always stands by capital when trouble comes which, but a few short months ago could find nothing too severe to say of the street railway company, and which is now ready to go to any lengths in its defense says, speaking of the. pending strike: Officers of tho company have daily attempted to move the street cars, and they have been forcibly prevented from doing it. The mayor declares that it is not the business of Indianapolis to stop tins, but that the company must swear out individual warrants for itself, and the police, to the appeal for protection against this forcible interference with tho company's officers reply, "nothing to say." To be consistent the administration should apologize to the men it arrested at the last strike and compensate them for the damage. The administration was either wrong then or it is wrong now.r. . :i . It would be difficult to crowd more misstatements into the same space than are to be found in the foregoing. To begin with, it is not true that the officers of the Citizens' company have made any serious effort to move their cars. They have, as a matter of fact, been resting on their oars, and have refused' to avail themselves of the resources which the law places in their hands for the operation of their lines and the protection of their property. As to the order which the police board issued six weeks ago, it was simply that patrolmen should "promptly arrest any person who in any way forcibly or violently interferes with such officers of the street railway company if such offmsct are committed within their vicu'." This order, of course, holds good today. The police will arrest persons committing oenses within their view whether against the Etrcet railway company or any other corporation or citizen. But the police will not be withdrawn from their regular duties to "c-Vo-

I I

tect" a corporation which has refused to abide by the results of an arbitration it voluntarily entered into, and which is exhibiting the most outrageous disregard to the pub'ic interests. The administration was right six weeks ago and it is right now. The New was wrong then and it is wrong now. It is playing a very contemptible role. tT CETERA.

II Una Given th Party nn lain und Haa Given It Stieres. To the Editor Sir: I have been reading the interview of Chairman Springer, published in The Sentinel today, on the outlook as to a presidential candidate of tho democratic party at the November election. Mr. Springer seems to thinlc that Mr. Cleveland ought to withdraw from tho canvass, and that it will be necessary to nominate a western man. He eeems to predicate his opinion on the fact that by intrigue and a departure from democratic usages the Albany convention will send delegates to the Chicago convention instructed to vote for Hill. Mr. Springer intimates that the democratic party is under obligations to Mr. Hill for his trickery in calling the New York convention at eo early a date, so that tho democrats of other states may find out what to do. He ignores the fact that there will he a true ami honest democratic convention of the democracy held in New York, which will put a different aspect on the politics of that state. It will show that Mr. Cleveland is not to be disposed of by fraud, intrigue and political corruption. Mr. Cleveland is the man who ought to be nominated; and he can be elected without New York in the event that the democrats of that 6tate persist in voting for a man who cau not carry that state or any other state in the union. After years of defeat Mr. Cleveland brought "ua victory. He made tariff reform tho great issue before the peode. He inaugurated an administration of honesty, economy and accountability, and without burthening the peop'V he left an overflowing treasury ; and but for bribery and political corruption would have been elected in 188S. The people know bim to be honest and do not think that it is fair that some other candidate ehall be allowed to bank on his political capital. So far as this part of the etate is concerned it is safe to say that nine-tenths of the democrats are in favor ot Cleveland against "the world and the rest of mankind." Fairplay. Knightstown, Ind., Feb. 25, 1892. Very Umeneroua. White County Democrat Col. Dudley wants to be a delegate at large from this state to the republican national convention and his brothers in arms are kicking. This is very ungenerous, considering the smallr.ess of the favor asked when compared with Mr. Dudley's "blocks of five" influence at the last national election. Again we say that Indiana republicans are an ungenerous set. It la Net What We Snr But what Hood's Sarsaparilla does, that makes it sell, and has given it such a firm and lasting hold upon the confidence of the people.

'INDIANAPOLIS AND ITS RESOURCES

Distinctly What It Claim to He. Warsaw Indiacian-Repub'Ican.l We have received a copy of "Indianapolia and Its Resources," a large quarto, of as fine a specimen of the typographic and v..K&t,.u 01b as nu uatD recti Iii ycaiB. It is distinctly what it claims to be an exponent of the resources of the capital of the state, with a brief history of the country from its first white settler down to the present time, when its population is very near 125,000. The very fine engravings in its pages are of noted buildings and portraits of men, who have become prominent in business, city and state affairs. It is printed on the very finest of heavy paper, and in a manner to win the heart of the printer who has learned the trade that is, not picked it up in a few months. It is the work of The Indianapolis Sentinel and is a specimen of work which that establishment may well feel proud. A Work of Art. Franklin Democrat The Indianapolis Sentinel has just issued a volume devoted to Indianapolis, its history, its resources, business and commercial interests and public buildings, and portraits of tho famous men are also given. The book is very handsome in itself a work of art, as printers say ; but but better still it heralds the advantages of Indianapolis to the world in an attractive, readable way, and, as printers' ink alwaya doe, it is sure to bring rich returns to the metropolis of the state and its citizens. The Sentinel can indeed be congratulated on its souvenir edition. It wrs well conceived, inteliieentlv prepared, and handsomely executed.

The misrepresentation which called forth the resolution cf the State Board of Health of New York, printed above, is in keeping with the old tactics of the Royal Baking Powder Company. First it manufactured a Government Chemist out of whola i cloth, and the garment was cut and made to fit Dr. Henry A.' Mo'tt, and later poor Dr. Love. Brought to a turn in this, the same company sought to use the New York Board cf Health. It did not hesitate to send broadcast, the statement that the New York Board of Health had endorsed and recommended tho Royal (Ammonia) Baking Powder. " It did not take the New York Board of Health very long to assert itself on this misrepresentation as will be seen from the foregoing letter. These questionable methods of advertising have never been resorted to by the Price Baking Powder Co. The oldfashioned honest way of making a pure Cream Tartar Baking Powder is much to be preferred. No ammonia to conceal, nothing to bolster up. The success of Dr. Price proves honesty is the best business policy in food products, as in everything else.

I printing and fine editorial work are observed throughout. The Sentinel has

Teople who don't know Governor Hill.or know him only as a crusty, bald-pated old bachelor, have wondered what can be the secret oi his success as a democratic leader. The New York Herald turns a beam of light on the mystery whea it says: "Senator Hill smiled, was at.'abl ', used pleasant language but said nothinc" That accounts for it. A man who can smile, use pleasant language and say nothinz all in one motion can hold two offices at once il he likes, or as many more as Tammany can give him.
