Candidate Overstreet has very wisely decided not to nu-et Congressman Cooper on the stump. Does Mr. Candidate Owen explain that Mexican gold mine fake at his republi -an n-'-.'tint's? Business is on the up grade everywhere. a::d the eal.imiry-h wler is rapiJly petting out of a job. l-,r s..;, e myst -ri us reason none of the republican orators have much to say about ih- infanvuis tax law. Cli.-pd:e. Chcai: little man. How we wonder how you can CI et atw-.ve tin- wori sr hHh, With your Haares wka you lie. Senator Jones of Xevada has joined the populists and his eol'cague. Senator Stewart, scims in a fair way to join Breckinridge'. The pt i!e are still waiting' for Some Studious republican to hunt up a beneficial law of Indiana that was enacted by the repulii-.'.n patty. It may be accepted as a faot th.it the "tariff -Tinkering" will not stop until the sugar trust and the Iron and coal combines are knocked out. The market reports still show wool on the advance. Possibly the farmers might better defer that republiean slaughter of sheep until after the election. The republican papers are not taking so much "sugar in theirs" as they did before the passage of the tariff bill. It teems to have lost Its sweetness or attractiveness as a democratic squelcner. The Colorado populists lose one of their strongest cards in the Hon. T. M. Pattersen. He is the ablest orator in the state, and his paper, the Rocky Mountain News, is the oldest and mos: influential newspaper. Messrs. Taggart and Gowdy have very sensibly concluded to have the OwenMyers debates in the largest cities of the several districts. This gives as many people as possible a chanoe to hear the two leaders. The Hon. K. W. Thompson has published a new book entitled "Footprints of the Jesuits." If Mr. Thompson desires to secure a large market for a literary work he should write Footprints of the Panama Canal. Mr. Seeds, secretary of the republican committee, ought to fret his speakers together and have them agree on a schedule of statistics for campaign use. It must be very discouraging to the average republican to have a new set of statistics to wrestle with every time a new orator breaks loose. Democrats everywhere are becoming Jubilant over the rapid turn of the tide of public sentiment to the party of the people. Again we say to them, "Beware of overconfidence." Justice and right are on our .Tide. We are fighting a grand battle for the people, and the people must be made to understand the situation thoroughly. All that Is needed Is earnest personal work. A correspondent calls attention to the extraordinary figures of the only Cheadle In another column. That gentleman's theories are as bad as his figures. A roan who pretends that the price ct sugar can be measured by a difference in tariff when for years the trust has kept the price of sugar far above any tariff discrimination merely makes Jiimeelf ridiculous. Sugar was selling much consequently the people are paying less now for it. The Sentinel is utterly opposed to any projection to the sugar trust, but facts are facts, and no one can escape their logic. Among other evidences of "democratic times" we notice the following in our telegraphic dispatches of yestcrady. At Anderson the Anderson Iron and bolt works' resumed operations with Its old force of ZZO men. and the Oustes windw glass factory resumed yesterday. All the window glass factories in the gas belt will be running by the 15th. At Noblesvllie the American carbon mart wm awarded u, contract Ua 1.0udL

000 carbons for the Milwaukee electric company. It will have to employ more men. At Cicero the .Modes company glass works resumed with 275 men. The calamity-howlers cannot prevent the revival of prosperity under the new tariff law.

THOSR SIGAK QUOTATIONS. The esteemed Journal is very much shocked at the wickedness of The Sentinel In reproducing ltasugar quotations. The price of sugar has "nothing to do with the case," and besides, "last year the crop was short; this year it is abundant, and raw sugar was never so cheap." "We regret that our contemporary should have been driven to this prevarication. On Friday, Aug. 31, it published the truth as to the price of raw (96 test) and refined (granulated) sugar, as follows: The following are the prices of raw and refined sugars in New York, on Saturday, Aug. 25, 1892. 18H3 and 1S94: Date. Raw. Refined. Aug. 23, 1S92 3c 4c Aug. 23, 1S93 ... 3'ic H";c Aug. 25, 1S94 3;c 5c This will be found in column 2, page 8, of the Journal othat date, and It was also published In The Sentinel of the same date. Nevertheless with raw sugar onefourth of a cent higher than at the same period last year, the Journal now says that "raw sugar was never so cheap." And at the same period two year3 ago raw sugar was one-eighth of a cent cheaper than last year. Ah! the pity of it, that our moral contemporary should get caught in a falsehood by its own Inconsiderate publication of the truth a few days earlier. This should be a solemn warning to our contemporary. Hereafter it should avoid the publication of the truth on any occasion, and so avoid having it called up by opponents. As a second consideration the Journal declares that "The Sentinel hr.3 changed since it denounced the sugar tax." The Sentinel has done nothing of the kind. The Sentinel always advocated a duty on raw sugar, "What it opposed was the concession to the trust involved in the ad valorem duty and the differential tax. It said these were as bad as the McKinley donation to the trust, and they are, though they may differ a little in amount. The simple truth Is that any protection to sugar refining that prevents permanent foreign competitioa In refined sugars in this country will maintain and perpetuate the infamous monopoly of the sugar trust which was made by republican legislation, and which could not have been upheld in the last congress but for republican support. By virtue of that monopoly It makes the price of refined sugar what-It will in this country, and it c-hoee to make it much higher last year than it does now. The profit It exacts now is in excess of the "protection" It gets. Last year the profit was 1 cont per pound more than It is now, and consequently su?ar was higher then than now. The protection to the supar trust and every other trust ill the McKinley law was an outrage, and it 1? an outrage now as well as it was then. The whole protective system) is an outrage. But as a matter of fact refined sugar Ts cheaper now than it was one year ago. As a third argument the Journal says that Mr. J. T. Erwin of 54 Columbia-ave. writes it that he sold granulated sugar one year ago at 5 cents per pound. If he did the Journal's quotations are false. It is simply a question whether the Journal lied then or Mr. Erwin lies now. Casually it may be mentioned that The Sentinel's quotations and those of the trade journals support, the Journal in this contest. This makes things a trifle close for Mr. Erwin. TUB TIllE ISSUE. In his little speech to the convention in Mr. "Wilson's district, where he Imagines the local coal Interest will have great weight m the contest. Mr. Harrison put the national Issue exactly as it is. He said: ' This contest is not local. It happens that your present representative was assigned to prepare the tariff bill and had attached his name to It It Is. therefore, expected that his conduct will be subjected to severe and careful scrutiny Unfortunately, the proclamation has been made by President Cleveland and Mr. "Wilson that the tariff bill is not a finality, but that this destructive warfare is to go on. If you approve this show it by returning Mr. Wilson to congress, but if, on the other hand, you have felt the effects of the depression, if you think more of those you prefer to lead the country through the slough of despondency, show it by defeating him. That is the issue in Mr. "Wilson's district and throughout the nation. The position of the president, and Mr. Wilson and the democratic party is that th "pop-gun" bills must be passed. The concession to the sugar trust must be wined out. Iron must be put on the free list. Coal must be put on the free lift. That Is the issue in Indiana. It is tendered by the democratic state platform. It Js accepted by Mr. Harrison. It is a question whether he president and Mr. "Wilson and the house of representatives shall be sustained in their contest with the senate. It is a question whether the defiling provisions of the tariff law shall be removed or not. It is a question whether the people will elect a democratic congress that will take away the protection of the sugar trust or a republican congress that will retain It. It !s a question whether they will elect a democratic congress that will put iron and coal on the free list or a republican congress that will Increase 'the present duties. But more than these things Is the great question as to the control of government by concentrated capital. .The people in this election must either indorse the honest and manly stand of the house democrats for the full tariff legislation demanded by the people, or they must Indorse the position r of the democratic traitors and slaves of the moneyed Interests In the senate. There ds no escape from it. Mr. Harrison speaks truly. It is a national issue. Mr. Wilson and his colleagues in the house must be returned or every one will say that Gorman and Brice have been indorsed, and Cleveland nd Wilson have been condemned. A vote for a rewbLUiui or populist congressman Is a

vote to perpetuate the control of the senate by capital. It Is a vote to perpetuate the sugar trust. It Is a vote to perpetuate all other trusts. The honesty and intelligence of the people Is on trial as it has never been before. Will they stand for their principles? Will they stand for government by the people as against government by money? If they stand firm now they can deal the money power a death blow. If they fail to do so the country will be set back a generation in morality and honesty of government. It will be set back until a generation arises pure enough and wise enough to drive the moneychangers out of the temple. HEsrovsmii.iTV for thists. One of the most remrkable publications that has appeared in the republican press recently Is a savage assault on trusts by the ultra-republican New York Press. It says: As a rule, however, trusts undoubtedly add to th? cost of the articles whose pro ductlon they monop lize. The trusts, by their enormous combinations vt capital, take freedom of trade by the throat and trample out of existence the business nun or flrn that dares to compete with thm. Their methods at the best are a menace to the welfare of the community and are distinctly anarchistic, not stopping short in well known instances of the anarchists' dynamite and violence. The trust, with a brazen treason against the fundamental principles of American liberty, says virtually to every citizen outside of the trust: "Thou shalt not dare to compete with this business of ours. If we cannot crush you by fair means we will by foul means. American laws pretend to protect you in your right to compete, but we set those laws at defiance and laugh them to sorn." This is anarchy. There cannot be freedom without the right of competition in legitimate trade. Moreover, the Press declares that "the trusts must go." It does not propose to tolerate them any longer. It declares that they are as "tyranleal, odious and oppressive as under Elizabeth or James." This Is very true, and it is also true, as the Press states, that "against those monopolies, crushing the life and ambition out of trade, our ancestors struggled with indomitable energy, perseverence and resolution until liberty was achieved and every lawful business was virtually thrown open to every reputable freeman." But having to'.d this much of the truth the Press makes the absurd declaration that "the free trade movement" tends to "build up trusts." This is a very remanoble change of front since Mr. Bliine declared, in reply to Mr. Cleveland, that trusts were "private affairs," with which Mr. Cleveland had nothing to do, and his party backed him up by defending trusts and telling whit an advantage the Standard oil company had been to the country. The free trad? movement responsible for trusts! The country is full of them, and the Press cannot point to a single one that did not originate under republican protection. We challenge it to name one only on? out of the great number thai now clutch domestic commerce by the throat and extort outrageous prices from the people. It emrut do it. There is none. They are all of republican and protectionist origin. Moreover, the Press cannot point to any effort of republicans to enforce laws again3t trustä. A democratic government of New York- drove the sugar trust from that state. A democratic government In New Jersey is prosecuting the tobacco trust. A democratic government In Illinois is proceeding against the Pullman monopoly. And the last republican administration of the nation dismissed the proceedings that had been instituted against the whisky trust. The republican party has never done anything to restrain much less destroy trusts. On the contrary, when the McKinley bill was under consideration, they were all invited to come to Washington and fix the tariff schedule to suit themselves, and they accepted the invitation. Moreover, the census returns show the concentrating effect of republican government and its destructive effects on small and Independent business enterprises. The decade from 1S70 to 18S0 13 claimed to be one of great prosperity, but in that decade, although the capital invested in manufactories increased 32 per cent., the number of manufactories increased only 232,143 to 233.SÖ2, or less than 1 per cent. Small establishments were crushed out of existence all over the country. In Indiana, although the increased investment in manufactures was over $13,600,000, the number of manufactories fell from 1LS47 to 11,193. Nor w-a3 this state alone. There was an actual decrease In number of manufactories in Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine. Michigan, Mississippi. Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. No more convincing evidence could be given of the monopolistic tendencies of protection than a comparison of the census figures of 1S70 and isso. It Is too late now for republicans to profess hostility to the trusts they ereated. The facts are on record, and they cannot be blotted out.

THE SWEAT SHOP STRIKE. Few strikes have ever met so much public protest as the garment workers' strike now on in New York and Brooklyn. Coming as it did at the close of a period of business depression, and when a revival of trade was Just beginning, it was feared that its effects would be injurious far beyond the circle of the Immediate participants. Hence every New York paper advised against it, but the strike was inaugurated. The strikers are probably the poorest and most helpless class of working people in the country. Their wages have hardly sufficed to keep body and soul together, and they certainly cannot have much available reserve to support , them in this struggle. Certainly there must be something desperate in their situation to make them undertake a general strike for radical reforms. And what are their demands? Briefly these: (1). That the manufacturers shall agree In'writlng that they will give no contract to a sweat shop where non-union labor is employed; (2) that the shops shall operate on a ten-hour day and that each and every one of them shall be closed tight from 5 p. m. until 7 a. m.; (3) that the task system shall bd abol

ished entirely and that they shall receive regular weekly or dally wages for their work. These are reasonable enough, but they hardly seem to Justify the strike until one considers the evil3 which these changes will remove. The sweat shop3 of New York have been described often enough to give our readers a fair conception of their character. We believe that not one of our readers will question the accuracy of this statement of Abraham Hamsin of the executive committee of the Brotherhood of Tailors: This strike comes nearer a battle against absolute slavery than any strike which has ever been ordered in this country. We are laboring under conditions now little better than those which obtain in the mines of Siberia. In order that a workman may eke out enovgh with which to keep body and soul together and keep his family if, I may almost say, he is unfortunate enough to have one. he must work eighteen and nineteen hours a day in these badly ventilated, small and thickly packed sweat Phops. Of late the sweat shop proprietors have been growing more exacting in their demands than they wera formerly. Where they used to call twelve coats a day's task they now require the workman to make twenty-five before he gets a day's pay. No workman on earth could do It. We are not striking for an advance- in wages. We are striking for the wages that the sweat shop proprietors claim to pay us and do not pay us. We demand that we shall be treated as American workmen should he treated. We want a ten-hour work day. We leave our homes every day while out families are still asleep, and we return again long after they have retired. We see them awake but once a week, when religious influence compels the observance of one day as a day of rest. If we succeed In doing away with the task system, we will attack, when we get strong enough, the sweat shop itse4f. We want to be emp'.oyed directly by the manufacturers as In other branches of trade. The present plan is the convict plan, and it has no place In this country. Is there an American citizen who does not hope that these men and women will succeed? Is it not a disgrace to the country that this infamous system should be allowed to exist? Is it not a strange thing that such a condition should have grown up under a system of "protection to the American worklngman," and one which gave special protection to the very manufacturers whose good3 are made by these unfortunates? Would It not be a glorious thing if one of the first events under tariff reform should be the breaking of their shackles and their elevation to a higher plane of life? Our sympathy is all with them.

THE GREAT TARIFF REDUCTIONS. John Wanamaker Is continuing his eloquent testimonials to the effect of the tariff reductions on clothing, and for fear that malicious persons may claim that his firm and not himself Is making the advertisements he prints a letter of thanks to the collector of the port of Philadelphia over his own name, thanking him for his courtesy and promptness in getting out goods. The letter concludes as follows: We purposely left ourselves short of foreign goods In view of the tariff changes, and having so many cases yet In bond with several hundred more afloat soon to arrive, It will be a great favor to us and our customers If you wi'.l this week let out our packages as rapidly as possible. Yours truly, JOHN WANAMAKER. He says many kind things of the new tariff rates, as, for example: Everything that free Wool and' tariff lnf!u?vces can do to put prices on a tower level has been much more than discounted in the handsome new dress stuffs that are crowding to the counters every day. Put whlli Mr. Wanamaker la telling these wholesome truths ; to the nation his enterprising competitors. Strawbrldge & Clothier, Inform the public that they have bean wiser than even shrewd old John. They say: As for ours?!ves, we have sought, without screaming about It, to conserve the interests of our patrons, and for months past we have prepared for a tariff even much lower than the present purchasing only on the basis of the house bill, or below It. We have reasoned that this quiet service was more In the Interest of our patrons than the other course referred to, for while newspaper advertising Is quite proper, some one has to pay for six or eight column cards at from 5 to 20 cents per line and It Is usually the advertiser. Hundreds of cases of foreign goods held by us in bond have been, and are now being, withdrawn. All were bought at lower prices abroad than ever before known, and all are. of course, to be distributed on the Fame basis. No time could be more opportune, in the interest of our patrons, for the reduced duties to go Into effect than chance has decreed at the very outset of the season: and we now submit tho result of preparations, greater than ever in the past, to the examination! of the public soliciting criticism and comparison with any stocks in the American market. It must be evident to any person that this system of purchase wouM give Strawbridge & Clothier a great advantage over their competitors, and the fact Is a demonstration of the miieh greater advantages that would have been enjoyed by the public if the Wilson bill had been passed instead of the Gorman bill. We quote one paragraph from these enterprising merchants: Today we Inaugurate a sale of strictly reliable hosiery at prices never before heard of. No broken lots are included. Without exception all are new good3, purchased by our buyer this summer.-at the great hosiery centers of Europe, at the lowest prices ever known. The goods were landed under the new tariff, and are now offered our patrons at even lower prices than we could buy the same grades for today prices having already materially advanced in European markets. ' It does not seem possible that Wanamaker can compete with such exceptional advantages, and the probabilities are that he will suffer until his opponents' stock, bought at Wilson bill prices is exhausted. A SQUARE RACKDOWX. Mr. Jesse Overstreet, the republican nominee for congress In the Fifth district, declines to meet the Hon. George W. Cooper in Joint debate. His reasons are that the discussion would draw party lines, get up democratic enthusiasm and furnish Mr. Cooper with republican auditors. Was ever a more flat confession of the weakness, both of man and his cause, put upon paper? Let us examine this excuse a little. He is -afraid Mr. Cooper will arouse democratic enthusiasm and draw party lines. This Is a very handsome tribute to Mr. Cooper, which we doubt not that gentleman will appreciate, but, more than that, it is a confession that what Mr. Overstreet la saylmj and will say to the' people of that district in his own and hia party's behalf cannot be uttered In the face of his opponent. He fears to furnish republican auditors for his opponent. What? a reflection upon the republicans of that district. What a mortifying, humiliating., conAlon. Did It

never occur to him that this debate would supply him with larger audiences than he could otherwise hope to have; that he would be given an opportunity to show to Mr. Cooper's friends in his very presence, why he should not be returned, why the democratic party should not be further trusted? Here, then, is a man who wants to go to congress that confesses that he has no confidence In himself, his cause or his party.' We do not blame Mr. Overstreet; we commend his Judgment. This is a bad year for him or any other republican to cross swords with democratic leaders. Democrats have been for more than a year engaged in a death grapple with unlawful and unrighteous combinations of capital, which have been struggling with equal desperation to dictate the character anl rate of taxes the people mujst pay. That fight is still on. Every democrat is armed with a keen blade, and his arm is nerved by the consciousness that every blow he strikes is against a public enemy and In behalf of a stcred cause. Yes, Mr. Overitrc et. it is a good times to take to the woods, and as far a.s Mr. Cooper is concerned, he wi'.l get his auditors. He has not failed heretofore, in this renoect and will not now.

DOOM THE STATE FAIR. The Sentinel Is Informed that the state board of agriculture proposes to resurrect itself this year and attempt to give the people a state fair that will be worthy of the state. Tae resolution is a most commendable one. and deserves all the encouragement that can be given to it. No state in the union has greater natural resources than Indiana, and none is more alive to the development of its interest. Its agricultural resources are unsurpassed. Its mineral resources are attracting attention all over the country. Its manufacturing industries are springing into new life undr the influence of the new tariff. Its people are intelligent and progressive. They will not fall to give every encouragement to a fair that is worthy of their patronage and support. One of the features that is said to be in viow Ls'an "Indianapolis day." The business men of Indianapolis should give this their hearty support. Indianapolis has much to gain from a good fair. Many people in the state do not really know Its advantages as a market or as a purchasing jint. Railroad discriminations against it, and the competition of large cities near the state have tended to restrict its commerce, but much of this can be overcome by a Judicious display of Its advantages. The business organizations of the city should take this subject up and not only secure an "Indianapolis day," but also do everything in their power to make it a grand success. Such a day could appropriately and profitably be malt? a half-holiday, so that every one could be given an opportunity to inspect the exhibits. For instance, one year ago a Madison merchant assures us he sold granulated sugar at 47 cents one cent lower than it is now under the llorman democratic law. Madison Courier. Well, If he did. he was selling it for less than he could buy it again, and we Imagine that that Is not regarded as a very wise policy by merchants generally. He can do it again today and lose less money than he did a year ago. Mr. Cleveland's insulting aspersions on the democratic senators in writing and publishing his uncalled for and indefensible letters to Chairman Wilson and Mr. Catchings have left him very few friends on the democratic side of the senate. . South Bend Times. You don't say. We will bet you a new pair of scissors that he ha3 as many friend3 among the democratic senators as the people had. One of the greatest benefits ever conferred on the working men of Indiana Is the Australian ballot law, by which they avoid any compulsion from their employers in voting. It is a notorious fact that under the old law hundreds of men were forced to vote contrary to their principles by fear of losing their places. Business begins to boom under the new tariff. All of the gas belt factories have either resumed operations or are preparing to begin within a short period. PERSONALS. Governor Flower wants a new holiday, to be known as Harvest day. Mr. George du Maurler is writing a third novel, and it is said to be almost completed. Rudyard Kipling is sa'd to have been jilted y six London girls in succession before he wooed and won his American wife. Prof.: John Milne, one of the greatest living authorities on earthquake, says it is not likely that they ever result from electrical disturbances. Beatrice Harraden's latest bock, "In Varying Moods," has reached a seventh edition In England. Its success in this country is said to be equally as great. William II. Webb, who recently erected and endowed a home for aged shipbuilders, has been decorated with the cross of the Legion of Honor of France. The widow of Senator Hearst of California is said to be the most heavily insual woman in this country. She has policies amounting to $:100,0 on her life. Paul du Chaillu, who has studied 1,200 ancient sagas in Denmark, says they record the description of five distinct voyages of the vikings from Iceland to this country. Don Garl&3, who, as is known, was expelled from France seven or eight years ago at the request of the Spanish government, has asked the French government for permission to reside in Paris for about a week. Mme. Teresa Viele, who read a paper entitled "Turkey and the Religion of Islam," at the parliament of religions, has just been decorated by the sultan with one of the most distinguished orders in Turkey, in recognition of services rendered to the Ottoman empire. Pierre Lotl, the famous French novelist, who saw Li Hung Chang when in China a year or two ago, describes him as a tall, Blender, bony, distinguished-looking man with a beard and long muslache. When on horseback it would be difficult to imagine a man more dignified in appearance. The marquis of Dufferin and Ava, as Lord Warden of the Clinque Ports, has lately headed a movement to preserve the historical buildings of the ancient port of Rye, including Ypres Castle, built more than 700 years ago, and the Land Gate, erected in 1360. Seven hundred po'-uid- is needed for the project.

PE0FLE TALKED ABOUT.

The phenomenal growth of the game of foot ball In the affection of American 1 students makes expert players of interest. Walter Camp, the famous foot ball wait: .i:ca?i coach, is one of the four members of the advisory board which manages the college games. The memlers of this bourd are as well known as are Oapis. Hinkey and Waters of Yale and Harvard respectively. Walter Camp has b-t-n working on a revision of the rul-s of the game, and lie is heartily in favor of any rule that wl.Il lessen the chances oi injuries to players without detracting from the interest of -th? sprt. He is an old college foot ball player and has been a member f the board sim'e its form-i-tiun. He is a graduate of Yale in the class of 'SO. William K. Vanderbilt, whose domestic relations are the subject of the world's g'-ssip, was forn on Staten island in IS it). At the proper age he was given ws.v vNosant t.t a clerkship in the transportation department of Iiis father's railroad, and here he worked and was amenable to the same discipline as the other cleiks. But Willie K as he is universally called, wa like his grandfathor; routine labor was Irksome. By close applkurion he made himself master of the whole trarupontatlon department, and In 1S67 was made second vice-president of the New York Central railroad. In 18S2, when his father retired from the presidency of the Vanderbilt roads, the second son was made president of the Nickel-Plate. His wealth amounts to many mlülion.. Geronimo, the famous old Indian chief, and his band, who were captured by the army some years ago, and have since been confined at Mt. Vernon barracks, V 4 - vv Ala., are soon to be released and allowed to go home to New Mexico. It is said that the heait of the !5outh injures their health, and for that reason the government has decided that they shall not longer be kept there. A few years ago Geronimo was the most dreaded Indian of the Wet. He lived in the mountains of Arizona and New Mexico, and his frequent murders and attackä on the settlers created consternation among them for awhile. He was not captured until troops of cavalry" had chased him around Texas for months, and then only after the army authorities had promised that ho would not be hanged for his crimes. It is not thought, that he will again make war on the whites. Of interest in the sporting world is the challenge of Frank P. Slavin, better known as Paddy Slavin, to meet Jacksou Corbett in a match for 3,e00 a PADDY" SLAVIN. side and the largest purse offered in England or America. Slavin has deposited 1,000 with Sporting Life in support of his challenge. Slavin is one of England's noted heavyweight pugilists, though but little has been heard of him since he was defeated by Jim Hall, the champion middleweight pugilist of y the old world. INDIANA IDEAS. Candidate Henry says that "the tyranny of the Glassblowers' union" 13 what drove him from the glass business. Anderson Democrat (dem.). The saddest political wreck in the administration aggregation at Washington is John G. Carlisle, s?eretary of the treasury. Nobody doubts his integrity. Lafayette Courier (rep.). The trade outlook is overreaching the most sanguine expectations of tariff reformers; wich lower prices on all articles of general consumption the mulls hve a wider market and thusall alike are the beneficiaries. Democratic doctrine is proving its own truth. Browns'town Banner (dem.). No man who pays money for the pupport of the government under the provisions of the democraflc income tax will be really hurt in mind, body or estate. He will be deprived of no necessity of life, nor of any luxury. All such payments will do for him will be to slightly retard the rapidity with which he gets richer. Terre Haute Gazette (dem.). And now silver is going up. Corn, oats, hay, hogs, cattle, potatoes and all other products of ihe farm except wheat are away up in prices, and under the new tariff wheat Is already climbing up and will doubtless, in due time, reach the dollar figure. The long Idle factories are starting up all over the country, the railroads are taxed to their full capacity to carry the freights offered, and there is a steady revival in all other departments of business. New Albany Ledger (dem.). The A. P. A. In this community is composed in the main of broken-down republican politicians who have been trying to break into office for a quarter century. They are, as a rule, also illiterate, ignorant, and without religious scruples of any kind. There are a few less than twenty who class themselves as demo crats, although they have never been considered reliable either by democratic can- j vassors or poll-watchers. No maji can I be a member of this unamerican organization and be a democrat. Just as no man of any political party can be a . member of it without discrediting hia , patriotism.
