Ambassador Ei'tTH it moving up the ladder pretty rapidly these days. As The Sentinel Las remarked before, tn ono or two occasions, Kav.m mast go. The tin plata liars teem to have developed into Washington correspondents for Republican rapers and are devotir.fr their attention to discussing President Clkvkxaxd's rr?ote9. It's very evident that Fourth Assistant Poatinaater-Gencral M ax well isn't a candidate for anything. Otherwise he would not deliberately forego the chance to snake himself solid with the workers Vrhich tho announcement of removals of republican postmasters would Rive liini. ÜErrrLirAX newspapers in Indiana continue to attack Julje Gkesiiam. This doubtless does much toward inducing the republican friend of the judge to enter heartily into the work of "keepinar up the ght" for protection, reckless extravagance and class !eg:'stion to which Mr. IIa.hp.i50n fo feelinglv refers. Common eense as well as charity will accept as correct the explanation that insanity caused the crimes of Superintendent Jokn G. Flake of the asylum for feebleminded children at Fort Wayne. In fact, no other explanation would be at all reasonable. Tho affair u certainly a most unfortunate one singulary so from the fact that it eeenis to have been wholly unavoidable. The land of Pharaohs had pent a contribution to the wor.d'o fair. The material fcr the construction cf an Kiryptian villaa arrived in Now York, last week, and it will be complete in every deta;l whtn established unon the exposition ground. The domestic animals will consist of twenty donkeys, peven camels, live monkeys and forty snakes, l'gyptian, Arabs and Turks will be seen in their home apparel. The entire outfit wiil doubtless prove a very attractive feature of the .preat exposition. Ti:oe who Uht the failure of natural pas eventually in Indiana have been casting; about for a cheap substitute, and it is now claimed that gas can bo manufactured for 1 ct-cta per 1.0 ) ntbi? feet. Companies, it is stated, are in process of formation fcr a production of the cheap manufacturing gas. However, it may be many years yet betöre the gas of Indiana entirely fails, i'jceat weil drilled in the paa belt indicate that an abundance of the precious material yt exists. Over 4,000 crie-yt-ar-old lake trout were turned loo"e in the lagoon of the Columbian exposition grounds yesterday. Pish Commissioner M D n t i dot-s not Drotose to hhow fin gl specimen of the different varieties of fish. His: plan is to show an entire school of each variety. In that way ti e habits of the fish can be studied better. What a grand education in every department of knowledge will be put within the reach cf everybody who cares to learn, by this lmmeaee exposition that is about to open its door to the world. The Jake Ti knek, about whoo d:missal from the white house service vrrf Journal is making such a fuss, ought to have been dismissed by President II a uki.vn. On last election day at Muncie ha pent his time iteeriiu floater to tLa place where republic-fin boo. II was. beini? dispensed. If the Delaware county authorities dii their duty he would bo wrestling with the red-eved lnw. Ti rnfr is an olfdusive partisan of the b'.ocke-of-f.V6 6trite and is entitled to no consideration vhaterer from democratic officiate unices' thev b connected with tLe courti. TfiE result of the Murphy triul at I.aiiyette ii what law-abiding; people who have followed tiie evidence desired a conviction. Rtii.iii may have hewn an irnpotor aod a ilamlerer. But that has nothing whatever to do with the cane. Fofar at all the evidence goe? he was proc edin? with his performance in an orderly and law-ahidiiie manner. If he was puilty cf slander, cr was an impostor, the lawn f'irniah means for his punishment. Whatever be could do would not be as injurious to the public mors aa the riotous and oigrderoua proceedings instigated by Mlrphy. The riot was rnerelv, taken at its best, an attempt to enforce lynch Uw, and, as puch, lawabiding people will rejoice that the Tippecanoe court has administered it a stinging rebuke. One thin that must be impreMJ upon everybody .1 that there moat be perfect obedience to the law; without it we can never have perfect civilizaticn. The law provMes means for rightin? vary wron, for puniohing every offense against society or individuals, and there can be no excuse for or tolerance of any attempt by individuals to take tu law into their own hands. The result of the Murphy case ought to make that point clearly understood, at least in Lafavetto. Cakteb IIakrlsox certainly has great reason to be proud of hid election as mayor of Chicajro. It fibs out a very remarkable political career. It in a fine tribute to the personal popularity of the man. Years ago, late in the 'oOs or early io the '70, he distinguished himself by being1 elected to congress in a strongly republican district. Thbu he was three tiaies elected mayor, the last time wheu opposed by every newspaper In the city. Two years aco he ran independent end cut the democratic vote in the middle, -et tic? upward cf 40,000 vote a. Crf.oikr, the regular democratic nominee, rereived bat a few hundred more, and Washiirxe, the successful repub licao, bat a few thousand more. At yesterday's election Harrihon Stood as the regular nominee of Lie party. Flat there was what appeared, previous to the election, serious bolt. Air. Aixsa-

tox, his opponent, was backed bv the citizens' movement, the republican nomination and the influence of every English newspaper exceDt Haekimn's own paper, the Timrf, andthe Mail, and the Naate Ztltiog and Fvle Prett the leading German papers, aa well. Cregier, whom Harrison's independent candidacy defeated two years ago, ran independent yesterday. Laying aside all questious of fitness Mr. Harbison's personal triumph is complete. An Ad Valorem TarlfT. The New York Reform club has conferred a favor and a benefit on the entire country by i8nin2 the report of its taritf reform committee, including its proposed taritf bill, in pamphlet form. The objection runde by some congressmen that the framing of the bill by the club was a "piece of impudence" has met very little favor

throughout the country. The Reform club is known everywhere for the magnificent service it has performed in the battle for tariff refurin, and, inasmuch an in thepa&t committees of tariff beneficiaries of all deccriptioLS have been heard at great length, it is taken by almost universal consent that men who have devoted their time and talents to the interests of the consumers of the country should be given a full hearing now. Besides, the people are not especially interested in questions) of etiquette. What they want is tariff reform. They do not propose to be diverted from that purpose by triflea. Thej- want the best law possible. No one cat es who makes the best suggestions. The important thing is that the beet suggestions be adopted, no matter whence thev come, and we have no doubt that congress will acton that principle. The law proposed by the Reform club committee purports to be on a logical bai. The aim wis to put all duties on the broad principle of equity under the genera! and primary principle that the tariff should be for revenue with ncly such protection as incidentally resulted. The most important of the secondary principles is stated by the cotumittej thud: All duties have been made strictly ol ral'tnm, except some of thoso which afe levied aa compensatory for internal revenue taxes upon similar articles produced at home. In such caee. when a specific duty i imposed, it is by one general Provision made precisely equa to that impose by the internal revenue Uw; and these particu'ar taxes ouht not to be considered a part of the tariff, but rather a part of the internal revenue evtrem. This principle is certainly worthy the higueetrommendation, and itouzhtto need very little commendation to democrats, because it wb? the basis of the taritf law from 1st; o ls;i. and that period ia the one to which all tariff reformers point as the era of the moat satisfactory tarttF the country has ever had. It has been tried. It has proven successful. To adopt it acBin is merely to make the best advantage of our own experience, and to relirtve the new law to a very larjro extent from the danger of experiment. No political party would be wise to venture into unknown seas when it hau an assured and prh-ctiy clean course open before it. I'-ut the a l iil;iiht system does not depend on expediency oione in its candidacv for public favor. It has ail the argument of justice and practicability a'so. We h;tvo never had a tariff that wm not in a large part al inown, because no matter how earnest the advocates of specific duties were, there were many thing to which their theories could not be practically applied, and in the most extreme tariffs the "d '' duties have been at !et one-half of all. And in taany casos where it is applied the results are absurd. Thus cotton ftcckinga valued at t0 cents a doüen are taxed "2 cents under the present tariff, whi:e cotton stockings valued at ol cents are taxed fS cent?. It i obvious that this absurd injustice would be remedied by an cd rait,,; in tax. Rut the chief arguments azainet specific or mixe-i duties i that they aro confusing and that they afford eay cover tor imposing the burden of taxation on the poor. The Hhiiting troca one kind of duty to another, that has been so largely indulged in under republican rule, makes it a!rao.t impossible to fehow conclusively what i the actual elfect of the change, and thus gives better opportunity to deceive the people. Moreover, the cheapening of coxt of production operates as an automatic increaae of tax under specific duties. Steel rails are a good example of this. What was originally a tax of only 45 per cent. became bv cheaper production a tax of over 100 per cent., and yet there appeared to be no increase at all. The chief object of tariff beneficiaries is to gvt the a Ivantage of the lartreit market. As cououmption of most articles is nearly in iroportion to population they desire to prohibitor heavily tax the importation of thintf u-ed by the masiee of the people. Unfortunately the massif of the people must be clashed as poor in contradistinction to the rich, and therefore the object of a protective Uri:l can be reached only bv taxing the poor most heavily. This ha uua iv been done by specific duties, but in the McKinley law the protected elates become o bold a to do the au.e thing by adrabrm duties alio. With specific duties this difference is not so easily no'ed. A man who pavs 50 cents a yard on cloth worth 1 a yard does not quicklv realize that he is paying 10 per cent, more tax than a man who pavs 80 cents a yard on cloth worth $2 a yard. It seems almost axiomatic that the fairest way to tax is in proportion to value, and that in exactly what an unmixed tl ra'omn duty does. We believe that the adoption of this principle br conirres will be both'.beneticial and satisfactory to the people. Tho I'toadi Matter. It has become very evident that trie republican senators are pushing the Roach investigation not with any intention of attempting to unseat him, but merely to bring the mat'er more fully before the country and use it for political capital. There is nothicg about the case that needa investigating, as everything charged is conceded. Mr. Roach, as cashier of the Citizens' national bank of Washington, defaulted in 1S79 for about jol,U0. He gave up what property he had and his bondsmen effected a tompromise by paying all that was due except S1S.500. There was no attempt at prosecution, and the present officer! of tha bank feel very kindly toward him. They do net believe he is guilty of any other wrong-doing, and state that they think there was something back of the affair in 1879 which, if made public, would place him in a better light. Lie went West and bean li'e

anew. He has established a respected name in his new home and ii popular there, as, indeed, he still is with his old associates in Washington on account of his generous and kindly disposition. In such a case as this there is something repugnant to the American idea of fairness in hounding a man down for the one offense of his life. A man who makes an honest effort to reform, who by patient effort wins back the confidence and trust of his neighbors, should be given a chance to live. There is neither virtue, nor Christianity, tior morality in trampline a man into the mire because once he stepped in it. Lea3t of all is there any excuse 'for republican senators taking such a course when they have sat for years in company with men who have

been charged with crimes, and have never expressed any fear of contamination. There are in the tenatenow two men who have been charged with murder, two with embezzlement, and one with bigamy, and yet neither Mr. Hoah nor any of his Phar isaical aasociaties have seen fit to question their past records. Indeed, it is doubtful if such investigation is wi hin their province. A senator is a representative of a state. He does not stand in his personal capacity. If the people of his state are suited with hid character that is sufficient. He is elected to represent them and he meets his fellow senators in a purely representative capacity. Thev are under no obligations to dine with him or play poker with him. There is more Wanamakeriaui than virtue in this persecution. Light from New Albany. The Sentinel regrets to have shocked the New Albany Isdjsr by some recent remarks concerning the Toledo decisions, and to have called dewn on the head of Mr. okoeg e the following: The Sentinel seeks very unsafe counsel when it noes to IIexky Gkokuu to build up or austaiu an argument The trouble with hH writings ia that hi verbosity of language is in the inverse ratio to his facts. Hi reasoning is specious and his premises frequently, in fact generally, false. This wid be a sad 1 o v to many Indianians who have read and admired Mr.v Geokoe's compact and forcible English. It is safe to any that he has made a greater impreshion on American minds than any writer on economics of thia century, and tiiis very largely on account of his literary skid. It will be only fair to Mr. Ulokge to mention that the Lnij r has a protectionist bias. The lA'f jrr further avers: The strike does not rest "upon the individual ri'ht to worli or not to work." That is jusi where om? wrong, comes in. The history of strikes in thin country shows that in niue ct'ti out of ten they are originated by a few men and against the real wiehs of a large number, often a majority of those engaged in them. If the history of strikes did show any such thing, and we are very certain that it doea not, it would not affect the proposition as to what "the strike at bottom recta upon," ad stated by Mr. Geouoe. The perversion of a principle doe- not change the foundation on which the principle rests. And aain, the l.elji ? eayt: The right to quit work i.s not in iseue In the Ann Arbor cases. I" rider existing laws and customs there is no question au to the rieht of an employe to quit and of an emplover to discharge a workman at any time, where the employment is of a priate niture, but when it is of a public character, a third party, the people, have riehta to be considered. For instance:. A railroad corporation has no right, legal or moral, to discharge a train crew on the road and so interfere with the traffic and inconvenience the public. Neither has a train crew or any one ot them the rihtto quit the service cf the company when by mo doing the traffic will be interfered with and the public put to loas and inconvenience. Wronz azain. No one said "the right to quit work" wasin issue. The Sentinel said that it wad the only right recognized by Judge Ric ks. The men can quit work, but they cannot "etrike," under the interstate commerce law. It is not true that any such distinction exist? between private and quasi-public employment as here mentioned. There are certain limits to the rights of both employers and employe" as to quitting work. A hod-carrier has no rilit to quit work hull way up a ladder and let his load fall to the ground. An employer baa no right to discharge an employe at the bottom of a well end furnish him no means to get out. Rut railroad companies do have the right to discharge men at any point, and do tiereise that right, though tlioy would be under obligations to return a discharged man to -his home, or place of employment. And in these very cases Judge Takt decided that the men might quit work, and interfere with tratlic, and inconvenience the public os much aa they liked, provided they quit work between runs. We would advise the Lni'jt r to read HtM'.v Geokoe and the Toledo decisions. A Special Session. The press dispatches state that Mr. Cleveland has intimated an intention to call a special s ssion of congress in September or October for the purpose of getting the tariff law under headway. It is stated that he does not believe that a fair test of a new tariff law caabe had in. a few months, and therefore deems it wise to have congress assemble earlier than usual. A further indication of the correctness of this report is found in an interview with Representative Sprinoer of Illinois, who declares that it would be Impossible to make a thorough revision of the tariff befora May in case congress should assemble at the regular time, and that would scarcely give time for the working of the law to show itbelf before the campaign of ls'.H comes on. Of course a month or two of extra session especially devoted to the consideration of the measure would bring it to a conclusion at a much earlier date. We have no doubt that the reports correctly state the president's intentions, as the wisdom of such a course from a practical point of view it evident. There is, moreover, a large measure of jubtice to the people in giving early attention to this matter. There can be no question that the tariff wan the one great iasua in the last campaign, or that the people are overwhelmingly for a speedy reform of tue oppressive law. Democrats, populists and prohibitionists all declared expressly for the reform, and there are thousands of republicans who were held to their party lines by other considerations that earnestly deeire the tariff to be placed on a revenue basis. Neither can there be any question that the preseat tariff law, more than any other, ia a burden on tbe great maeses of the people that increases with every year of its existence. Lartre

sections of the countryjare peculiarly under tribute to the section where the tariff beneficiaries have established themselves, and the perpetual tax on their resources and production has assumed the nature of a public calamity. Certainly no greater kindness could be done to the Mississippi valley than to give it a speedy relief from the oppression ot this law. Nothing could more enhance its prosperity. Nothing could satisfy a larger proportion of its population. By all means let us have the epecial session and tariff reform. Tlio Mormon Ke format ion. The completion of the Mormon temple is a great occasion for the saints, and they are celebrntieg it right royally. Aa other of their public buildiDgs it is freaky in architecture. The plans of public buildings have usually been "revealed" to the prophet or some of his associates, and the buildings have been revelations to ever one else. Like mopt Mil!errians the Mormons go in for extremely solid architecture. Their one exception to this rule is the tabernacle, but it also is a curiosity in shape and construction, being in the form of an ellipse, with a rounded roof. It will probably be retained as a general assembly building, and the temple will be devoted to the "mysteries" cf the faith, inasmuch as the tabernacle peats about 12,(X)0, while the assembly room of the temple will accommodate only about "2,000. Indeed, the first thing that strikes one on seeing the temple is a wondering how people could put so niuch material into a bu'lding and have so little room in it. For the general purposes for which buildings are supposed to be con-tructed it would seem about as useful as one of the pyramids. The most striking feature of tbe dedication is the evident change of spirit in the Mormon church. In its earlier days no organization wag more autocratic and insolent than this theocracy, and it was entirely natural that it should be so. Its doctrine was that the Mormons were the saints of bible prophecy; that the millenium was at hand ; t'tat the Mormon church wns about to be established as the supreme power on earth and its opponents were to be reduced to abject submission by the direct visitations of avengeful Gon. With such a faith, and with the further belief that the commands of their church wss superior to ah human government, these people were easily led into open resistance to the government at one time, and since then they have gradually passed through all the stages of passive resistance until, by bitter experience, they have been led to acknowledge the supremacy cf the laws of the country. Only a year or so since an opportune revelation re eased them from

any need of practising polygamy, and to disposed of the chief objection to their religion from a popu'ar standpoint. The prayer at the opening of the dedication services ia a strong prf eentation of the latett phase of niormonism. and it is a very onconrauing one. No ode can object to the following: Our hearta are filled with eratitude to Thee for Thy kindness to us iu gof'.eniijg the hearts of our fellew-ciiiens and people of the nation toward us; that which Thou haut done has been marvelous in our race. We thank Thee that Thou didst move upon the heart of the president cd our nation to idsuo a general amnesty; that Thou hast removed prejudice and misunderstanding from the mind oi many people conctrniug as and our purpose, and that thev are disposed to treat us as fellow-citizens and not as cuetnies. The common objections to mormonism will quickly go to pieces before a spirit of thin kind. Ail that is asked of them is that they take their stand in loyalty to th laws, p.s other religionists, and then they can believe whatever they like. When they are far enough along in their reform to pay the heirs of the victims of the Mountain Meadow massacre for the property taken and destroyed on thtt occasion, we bhall be ready to take them into fu 1 fellowship. Some people talk about unrestricted immigration as if the authorities allowed the gates at Castle Garden to swing wide or en to the entire world. In this they are midtaken. The law exclude idiot, insane people, those suffering from dangerous diseases, paupers, convict", polyyamisH and contract laborers. In the two years andFcven months thut the federal authorities have been controlling matters .1,001 foreigners were forbidden the country and returned to the other pi le of the Atlantic. Refore the time named the New York state immigration commissioners returned nearly L'.UIO persons to Europe who were barred out by the law. Col. Wi:ufc.R, the U. S. commistdoner of emigration, intimates that if we are too exclusive in this matter of immigration the country will suffer fcr domestic help, and he aks the question where the servant girl of the future will come from if we close the patea of immigration. Continuing, the commissioner says : "It may be taid that we can make exceDtion in the case of women, but women w ill not come unless their brothers and fathers, husbands and lovers cotue too. Where arr the American girls who are ready to go into the kitchen? Indeed, it is all that we can do to keep tbe foreign girls in the kitchen after Americanizing influences have caused them to discard the kerchief tied around their beads upon landing, and don the high hat with feathers and birds instead. Then who will do the rough work constantly necessary in the development of oar but partly touched natural resources? Will it be these who are already here, and who have baan elevated above that grade of work? Hardly, for that means retrogression, and I do not welcome tbe day when the toilers of this country are obliged to take a backward step either in compensation or in position. Remember, too, that the labor that these raw hands perform makes the demand for work requiring more skillful touch." The truth is that the entire immigration matter formulates itself into a very important problem, for the solution of which the most intelligent statesmanship is demanded. It ia somewhat encouraging to note that daring the past three months the failures in business throughout the United States were smaller, with one exception, than have betn similarly reported for eleven years. The falling off of these failures is conspicuous in the middle and southern states. Drailstrett, iu referring to the last quarter's business situation, says: "No better illustration may be piven of the comparatively favorable nature of this quarter's report of business failures as coin Bared with. lS'Jj than that one failure

in New England and one in Tennsvlva-

ma, in entirely different lines, will account for the total net increase of liabilities this year as compared with lsst. With these two failures excluded, notwithstanding the embarrassment of several widely separated banks and an increase of 05 per cent, in liabilities, of the IS per cent, fewer traders failing at New York City, the grand total of liabilities would have been smaller for the fir.-t quarter of this year than in a like portion of lS'.'iV ET CETERA.

There are under him pfven consular agencies, the occupants of which positions arij doubtless tiio?tly merchants of the country, who are paid bv feef, and those fees p-m to be ery t-ma1', inasmuch as only two make any returns at all to the department of fee collected, and those returns are under $.'ö a t ear. These consular agents are a follows: C'erro de Pasco, H. C. Mc ulty; Chulavo, Alfred Solf; Mt-liendo, WHiam H. tiriilith; Paita, John F. liopk-ns. jr.: Piurs, Kmi.io Clark ; Truxillo.

Whether the outrage complained of occurred at one of these pmaher plnces or at Ca'lao no one at the department cou determine from the te -grain, but inasmuch as it comes from Li-na. the impret-e on prevail that the seme of the o;it bj-' s oneoftlie interior points. This impression is further strengt! ened by the knowl. e dire in the department that in tneny cases' where the natives assault the subconsulate the trouble is lue. not t any antagonism to the cmiutry represented, but to prejudice and id-feeling against th-j representative personally. Secretary Morton appointed Martin F. Aruo of Indiana to be etnta etstiatical agent of the agricultural department ia Indiana, vice John B. Conner, removed. REUNITED AT LAST.
