Please accept our thanks. Yours respectfully, LE.STER L. ALLISON. Malott Park, April . To the Editor Sir: Having been In possession of therevised 1'iicyclopaMlia Britannica about two weeks I am highly pleased with it. I marvel at the extrem low price that you furnish it at. Being a student I find it of great benefit to me in the solution of a great many perplexing questions. I believe that all young readers or "The Sentinel should have it, ami many thanks to you for baring 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 ho email an amount of money. William I). Parr. Lamonz, Ind., Feb. 20. It Ib urged aa a simple precaution .during the prevalence of epidemics that people should keep the mouth closed aa much 89 possible. Through the mouth the germ of disease enter the body; from there they reach the intestines, and the damage beging. Two famous French physicians have examined the saliva of children exposed to diphtheria and found the specific bacillus that develops under certain conditions into the dreaded malady. Dreathe throutrh the nose is the advice of medical science. Of the forty anarchists ordered out of Paris, it ia sail that nearly all of them went to London. The idea ia prevalent that thopo "who were obliged to leave their own country tor thst country's good usually ship for America. Those who are afraul of the tendency and teachings of the red flag may take heart that many of the peace disturbers of the old civilizations are yet contented to try their fortunes fccarer home. Of the many Russian exiles who are finding homes on this eide of the Atlantic we are inclined to hope that the largo majority w ill doubtless make good citizens in time. They hare left their native land for altogether different reasons from those of the I'ariaian dynamiters. In the man Dfeminq the authorities of Melbourne think they have captured the red ribbon monstroeity of the period, lie is described as being cruel, utterly without conscience and equally devoid of fear. These moral mon-drosities, however, are peculiar to no clime or country. Fiance Ijas within tho year guillotined two or three criminals who seemed horrible from very standpoint, and it would be ditfieult for any country to furnish a more thoroughly despicable wretrh than Schneider, who was recently executed In Vienna for murdering servant girls. In the general round up our own America, we fear, would not fall far behind in furnishing Eereral monstrosities of tho eanie general characteristics that have distinguished many of the criminal of foreign countries. It is not a pleasant subject to contemplate. Tub republican triumph in Ithodo Island was due largely to nn unfortunate factional fight in tho democratic party, and to the weakness of some of its randstes. The Providence Journal, the most widely circulated and iniluentiil newspaper in the etate, which advocates tnrilF )oforin, and for t-erer.il years hns been rnpporting democratic candidates, gave powerful aid to the republican ticket, fhe democrats mad) the be.t fight they tould under the circumntat.rrs. While Jhe result is not w hat w hoped for, it Joe not necessarily piaco Khodu Inland in Ihe list of eafe republican states. On a Itraight tariff fight, with .Mr. Cir.vri.Aso cr some other man in whom the country ba confidence as 1U standard bearer, the democratic party will stand an excellent lhance to ecure Ilho Jo Island's electoral rote next November. Male detectives recently in California concluded after considerable, experience that women made poor detectives. One of them sent among thieves or in a questionable resort immediately put everyone on the qui vivo, and then, too, una was open to insult and misconstruction at any time. One series of objections urged was that she was untrustworthy, lacked perseverance, and looked at a case with prejudice and too much sympathy, always wanting it to go her way regardless of the juHticn or injustice involved In the matter. We hardly expected this; that ia if the objections worn urged n a general way agiinst all women detectives. Women do not lack perseverance, and it is hardly fair to suppose that among a number of women detectives a want of perseverance would preuornirate. The sympathy and prejudice perhaps are true bills, but these would probably wear out anybody, male or female, if much detettire werk wero indulged in. It i rather a demoralizing occupation. Chi'Sxty to animal is one of the feat eres which continues to disgrace our civilization. It is not coutined to thoughtless urchins by any means. In looking over a New York publication we find thnt quite all of tho case that have recently reached the courts were those of men. Fines were assesKcd in many instances for cruelty, beating horned, and others or simply driving a lame horse, or what in one cage aeeme 1 to be a very weak animal. A man in Urooklyn was arreted and fined $10 for driving a horse suffering frorn sores unprotected frocj the action of the harnesi, and a citiren of Jersey City answered the charge of driving a team of horses having sores on their treaets raoasuiitj; 2 by 2 and 3 by 2

inches, respectively, unprotected from the harness. This prompt action demonstrates quite a healthy sentiment in the right direction and Lj reassuring to the friends of dumb animals.

Status of the Indiana Press. We have compiled a list of the democratic newspapers of Indiana, showing their presidential preferences. We believe the list is substantially accurate. Two or three papers may be incorrectly classified, but, if bo, it is because of the somewhat indefinito manner in which they have defined their position. The papers are given under three headings: "For Cleveland," "For Gray," and " Unclassified." With possibly half a dozen exceptions the papers classified "for Cleveland" are very pronounced in their views. A large number of them name Governor Gray as their second choice for president, or as their first choice for yiee-president, if Mr. Cleveland heads the ticket. Some of the papers named as "for Gray" might with more accuracy be listed as "against Cleveland," their preference being anybody but the ex-president. But most of the Gray papers, as enumerated above, are for Cleveland as Becond choice. Under the heading "Unclassified" are placed those papers which have not defined their position, and those of whoso views, if they have been expressed, The Sentinel is not informed. A summary of the exhibit shows: For Cleveland 74 For Gray 32 Unclassified.: 14 A careful estimate of the aggregate circulation of the several classes of papers is as follows: Cleveland papers. 130.000 (iray papers SO.CKO Unclassified i.'0.(X0 The lits are appended. If any newspaper baa been placed under the wrong beading The Sentinel will take pleasure in making the proper correction upon request: FOR CLEVELAND, Albion Democrat, Angola Herald, Attica democrat.

The Smiths, Ilaow.Ng and JoNEsrs seem to hold their own in the more prolific families of the world. Lvery city directory

is full of their names. In the new St. Louis directory twelve pages are required to record all the Smiths, about 1,400 in all.. These, however, are all plain I S.MiTns. It requires still more space I to record the same names spelled ; in German or other foreign tongues. Counting these the grand aggregate is 3,000, and about one hundred of these are plain John Smiths. Ten pages are devoted to the Browns, and these number 1,000. Of Joneses 840 live and move, and

have their being in St. Louis. The Indiana Shepherd. When the springtime comes and the fall eleetion beginn to put forth its little buds the Indiana Farmer invariably sets out its non-partisan plow and turns a few furrows of entirely non-partiean tariff soil. Its favorite subject is wool, and by some etrange fatality it always gets on the republican side of the question. Of course this is no fault of the Farmer. All that it really desires is tokeep the tillers of the soil posted as to their real interests, and the painful fact that their interests always I lie on the side of protection is something that it cannot help. It is this impulse to help on the honest granger thaj produced a certain editorial on "the wool duty," which is now going the rounds of the republican country press of this state. The first proposition of this article is that the wool growers everywhere '"have passed resolutions against disturbing the law fixing duty on foreign wool" that is to say, the McKinley bid. We dissent. It ia true that some seventeen breeders of fancy rams, who call themselves the Wool growers' association of Indiana, did pass such resolutions, and that similar organizations in other states have done so, but the idea that they are the wool growers of the state is a most delightful absurdity. Xinety-nino percent, of "the wool growers of Indiana never attend this at-so-ciatiou, and most of tbem have too much sense to desire tho continuance of a wool tari;! under which tho price of wool has continually decreased. Tho Fanner next wants to know who asked for the repeal of this McKinley wool duty. We can tell it. The people of the United States asked for it by a majority of l,.'X0,0o0 votes in the first general flection after tho law was passed. The people of Indiana joined in that demand by a majority of UO.OOO votes, not counting prohibitionists and people's party vot-rs, w ho also denounced the McKinley bill in toto. The majorities were even more pronounced in the country districts than in the cities. That was when the real wool growers ppoke, and that is what they said. The Farmer next advances the proposition that for "the past year or two sheep husbandry has boon the most profitable live stock industry of our farmers." If true there is no wonder that the farmer is having a hard time. There are in this etate about 1,200,000 people supported by agriculture. There were reported in the state in sUQ, by tho etate statietician, 1,2:$ 1,741 sheep, which is 200,000 less than the average number for twelve years past. These sheep are said to be worth f.'$,765,DUO, which is an avorage of to each person supported by agriculture. The ebtimated wool clip is 3,ö.'i7,r:'.2 pounds, or a little less than three pounds each, or about 00 cents each. There- can be little question that the increased prico of clothing to each, on an average, is greater than tho f0 cents worth of wool with the ."1 worth of sheep added. Hut even if the removal of tho tariff on wool reduced the price of wool one-half, the v.Cluo of the sheep would not be materially affected, as it is well known that our sheep are chiefly valuable for mutton and are raised for that purpose and as a part of general farm stock like chickens. No one in Indiana follows sheep raining as a business except a few fancy breeders. 'I lie Tin Plain Infant. To the. llnrroit Sir; What has become of the new tin plate infant thftt was to be produced in '512? Has it been born, or is it being born, or is itliablo to die a-hornin? In there, in fact, nny iiaimfucturo of tin in this country ? If so, whero and to what extent? Is it not a fact that tin oro or block tin is constant1 heinir brought to this country for manufacturing purposes? rienfojtUHwer through The Sr..riM:L. Ch aiu.es Newton. Columbus, Ind., April 4. The latest contribution to tin plate literature is a pamphlet by JcsKfit I. Wf.kk, entitled "Tin and Tin l'late; Their History, Production and Statintlcs." It is printed at Pittsburg by tho Ame-ictn Manufacturer and Inni World, and the information, so far as American statistics are concerned, is furnished by the Tinned plate manufacturers' association of the United States. Wo are not prepared to pass upon its accuracy as a w hole, but if it should bo gauged by former statements from the same source it will not be found altogether reliable. According to this thoro are twenty tin plate works in operation, "in whole or in part," In tho United States; flftaen'io process of construction, and five organised and contemplating conntruction. They are scattered over the country as follows: Pennsylvania, 17; Ohio, 11; Illinois, 2; Indiana, 2; New York, 2; Maryland, 3; Virginia, Wisconsin and Missouri, each 1. Tho Indiana plants are at ill wood atid Anderson. The list includes the various "dipping kettle" w orks that havo been repeatedly described in the papers. The principal product ef these works io operation is utate i by Mr. W'ictks to be lerne plate, or roofing plate, which is composed in part of lead and cannot be used for canning, purposes. Tho imports of tin anl terne plate into the United States in lNOl are Hated by Mr. Wr.KKs to have been ;V),7:;l,K0O pounds, which is greater than the importation for any 'receding year excepting ISOOand 1 SSI. Tue greatest importation for any one year w as (;;2,t2 1,1 00 pounds in 1HS0. 'I he increase of priro in New York on tin plate In is'd (average of the year) I stated by Mr. Weeks to have been (10 cents per box. This is the increase over tho avereatte for lH'.K), und also over the average for ten years preceding. Tho increased price on the imports, which were almost tho entire consumption, therefore amounted to $l.0:i l.'JOO, or oj cents each for every man, woman and child in tho country. Tho importation of block tin into the United States in 185U was tons of 2.2-10 pounds each. This was 5,000 tons more than any preceding year excepting IKnfl and JfilK), and 2,000 tons greater than any preceding year. Mr. Wikks concedes that there has never been any metallio ! tin produced ia the United States

in merchantable quantities, except from the Temescal mines in California, which aro owned and operated Dy a British syndicate. He says these mines produced sixty-two tons in the last seven months of 1S01. They have been worked for about twenty years. The only other tin mines in the country are at Harney peak, in the Iilack hills, South Dakota. As to theso Mr. Weeks says: "Whether tin mining and smelting at Harney peak can be made a commercial success remains to be seen." The ore there was .found on testing to sample 2.94 per cent., or sixty-five and eighty-five-hundredths pounds to the ton. Attempts to concentrate the ore thus far have failed. These are the facts as to tin and tin plate as shown by the advocates of the tin tariff. The only - increase of work in this line has been in the matter of making of tin plates, and that was an industry which was profitably carried on in this country long before the McKinley bill was passed. This was conceded by Senator Allison in the tariff debate of 1S00. Whatever may be produced by the McKinley tariff in tin and tin? plate that could not as well have been produced without it will have to be produced in the future, for it ha? not yet appeared. FULTON FOR CLEVELAND-

Bat On fientlmtnt Amnrtg tlis Psopls of Thnt Ounty. To the Editor .Sir; Heretofore the democracy of the etate of Indiana, for many years, has gone to the national convention with the name of Thomas A. Hendricks or Joseph E. McDonald inscribed upon her banner. The name of Tho l as A. Hendricks inspired the democracy of the etata as none other ever did. lie was a democrat to the manner born. His ability und spotless character in every sense made him a tower of strength at home and abroad. JoseDh 11. McDonald wa.i less gifted as a leader, but he. too, was a democrat without Haw or blemish. While theso great men lived our standing as component Darts of the national democracy was recognized and comens d everywhere. Their death closed the most brilliant chaoter in our state politics. It is idle to talk aDout successors to them. We have none. They were to tho democsncy of tho state as a cloud by day and a pillar of tire by niuht. Through the utormy days of the past all eyes were turned to them. It is well uudtrstood that Orover Cleveland, as The Sentinel has well said, is tho logical candidate for tho presidential oilice. There arc trimmers and echemers actively at work against this current of public sentiment. This opposition is not anxious to promote, known ecutiment, but every effort is made to Ktille it. Could anything bo more wipromely selfish? Certainly not. Tho sentiment of the democratic party throughout the land is for tariff reform. No sane man (founts on goinrf before tho people in the present campaign with any other battle cry. The voice that crysta iod this sentiment is still heard proclaiming sentiments of the loftiest patriotism to the people. Amid the siorms that aro mging in the political seas we discern one bannor that we know is true. It is to be hoped Thk Skx i inki., which has grown to be a great paper, will steadily pursue the conrs' it so ably marked out in its issue of the 2Mb inst. There is one thing that is certain, the democratic party is not in debt to any of it members. The democracy of Fulton county is unanimous for Cleveland. If uny man doubts it let him call and see if he don't get such an Bniwer. Ft i.ton Coi'nty, Rochester, Ind., April 2. GOOD ADVICE. "Th HntlnlV Attitud on th rrat(Wn. tlul Jntttnn Heartily fntora1.

ISUNDAY THOUGHTS! OH MORALS MANNERS

IT A CLFHOTMA Religion should bo well advertised. "We do not mean in the press, but in the daily life of Christian people. As shopkeepers study the art of attracting customers, and put the new colors in conspicuous places; as the fruiterers eo arrange their fruit as to tempt paesers-by ; as the political orators arirue cases on the hustings to win votes, just eo ehould the believer display his treasures in order to attract. Too often the opposite course is pursued, lieligion is advertised by its negatives. 'Tis spoken of in a minor tone at thoutrh it were a life of pains and penalties, of restraints and self-denials. The impression is made upon the minds of unbelievers that "religion consists in keeping away from things that are agreeable, but sinful ; that it is hard to do this ; but that sooner than be lost Christians will abstain." The initial stages of the Christian life are undoubtedly repreEsive. To one who has been a wrong-doer Christianity comes saying: Thou shalt not steal, or lie, or swear, or be unclean, and this means selfdenial. But, presently, the Christian passes on and up to the positive side and into tho liberty wherewith Christ makes free. And here there is joy and peace in believing. "When one fed ti.at he has been pardoned, that he is accepted of God, that he is guided by the spirit of truth, that he is an heir of heaven, and that he is living in harmony with himself, with his fe'rnvs, and with th divine must not hLsli. ; )e attractive? On this plane Christianity no more clogs a man than wings hamper a bird or tins impel a fish. The restraint period has been outgrown the staire, always painful and self-conscious of betinninj; and now the glad soul swims like a Ush in a eea of de.iu'ht, and soars like a bird into the empyrean. Let religion then be rightly represented. By happy, helpful. Christian living believers ought to make it clear to the world that their faith is not a bastile, but a mngna Charta. 'Tis loving as Christ loved; judging ns Christ judged; a'dini; ns Christ aided. 'Tis ellacing distinctions wi-iih now separat.; wiping out prejudices which now cnuse variance, and attuning the universal heart to tho ine'.odic strains of tho golden rule. Such U religion. Let it bo eo advertised. Poets havo been singini and oratora havo been pleading for peace and peace societies, have be d national and international conventions and passed millennial resolutions, but war has refused to smooth its wrinkled front and furl its battle-flags and spike its cannon. Nay, our age has witnessed the most terrific and destructive wars in history. The nineteenth century will be known as the century of blood and iron. When it broke 'twas fondiy hoped that the ao of bullets was passed and thnt the ago of brains had come. As it closes we rt alio that the hope was a dream as wild as nny Htory in tho "Arabian Nights." Hut what reason and conscience could rot achieve, fear and science seeai likely to ellect. The cost of war is now ho great that it is well nigh prohibitive. The distructiveness of war is now so awful that it is well nigh preventive. A little further increase of the cost, a little greater magnifying of the dustructivenees, and, presto! war must cease. Meantime, science is at work in a thousand laboratories mixing deadly ingredients in more deadly combine. One day it slmllcry: "Kureka! I have invented an explosive warranted to sweep into instant annihilation both contending armies here is tho universal peacemaker." As was hinted last Sundav in a lli-puhlic. editorial, when navigable balloons aro so perfected that they can be floated serous the sea 'and across the land in all sorts of weather and held under complete control over enemies cities, upon which they enn drop dynamite enough to blow them into Binii lo-reem mutual considerations nnd intorimlional docencv will be carefully studied and observed. What country would dare to declare war if its armies and its cities could bo exploded into annihilation at one stroke? In this view wn loav all of us extend a cordial welc'Uito to dynamite, und ptay for its devo opment into Mich perfection of horror as shall make it tho constable of the world. The ltev.Dr. William M.Taylor, for whose recovery from a recent stroke of paralysis Christians pray, contributes to tho current number of the llimi'etic Heriew a sugeestive paper on "The Praise of the Sanctuary," in which ho urge tho chanting of the psalms. "1 do ot mean," lie says, "that they should be chanted by the chi.ir for us, but that the whole congregation, led by the choir, should chant them. It would take a little care and some practice, but by tho introduction of a psalm, to bo chanted by the people, Into tho service, wo would bring the psalter into prominence, and so make more charlv manifest tho unity of the one church of God throughout both the old and new dispensations." Urethren, what doth hinder tin from making tho experiment? Careful preparation is tho condition of success In life. The great authors have spent tho long morning of their careers In making ready. The great merchants have mastered their traJo from the bottom and have climbed to tho top. The greatest parliamentary orator in I English history confessed that he had spoken every night throughout the session in the house of commons, but one and regretted that he hadn't spoken then. Tis juHt so in tho Christian life. Character is like the oak a growth. It cannot b extemporized. The Christian is made by infinite, hard fights with tho world, tho ll.-sh and tho devil ; and with that strange comtiinatiori of all three self. Grudge not the time dovoted to mustering tho art of true living. Jesus himself devoted thirty years of tho thirty-three he passed upon the enrth to preparation for his brief triennial ministry. Who art thou, Mr. Heedless Slipshod, that thou shoulilst hurry thyself into tho arjna, and what task calleth thee? Trouble and difficulties are the piyranasties of the soul. As theo strengthen the body so those strengthen the character. They an, sent not to break ns but to school us. "Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir-tree, and instead of the briar shall come up tho myrtle-tree." Doubts always precede and accompany investigation. Hut when investigation is funded in knowledge doubts should cease. There am two classes who never doubt those who know nothing and those who know something. Chinamen are said to wear five buttons only on their coats that they may keep in sight something to remind them of tho livu principal moral virtues which Con

fucius recommended. Those are: Humanity, justice, order, prudence and rectitude. We have wondered in this country at the ado in Germany about the proposed new .school laws, and at the angry opposition which has driven the late Chancellor Caprivi out of office and forced the kaiser to withdraw the bill. Late information explains the hubbub. It seems that the school law sought to transform the public schools into sectarian institutes, to compel all teachers to be educated in sectartun normal colleges, and give priests and clergymen the right of inspecting these colleges. Twassrtiew link added to the chain which bound church and state together fourteenth century legislation attempted in the nineteenth. Hence the clamor. F.ven in imperial Germany 'tis felt that pulbic education ehould be non-sectarian.

I attended a funeral in a crow del church where there was but one really happy face, and that was the face of the dead sleeping amid white flowers. T. De Wilt Tal mage. Late repentance is seldom true, but true repentance is never too late. Anon. A sermon signifies a thrust; and therefore in sermonizing it must be our aim to use the subject in hand with energy and effect, and the subject must be capable of such employment.
