"Which do oa retard aa moat favorable to the ansjiir trut, the McKinley nr or the aennte blllf" "I regard the McKinley law mnch better for the sugar trust of course." A SitiArt r.XPliA3i TH)X. The republican press of the state is making d-sp-rate efforts to explain away the market rep r:s of sugar quxed from the Journal In eah day's issue of The Sentinel. Th - cannot explain the fact that sugar was lilg.iT one year ago tha,n It is now, or ra-her, they dare njt, because tha explanation is that the McKinley law ijive the sugar trust as c omn'.ete a monopoly in this country as -the present law dees. Nevertheless, th.-y offer some rntertair.ing excuses, and jmunj them one Of the rr. ingml us that we have noted Is the following from th Ma l:sn Courier: Th? In dU-iapolis Sentinel first sent out th- st ry. and th- Madism Herald and oth-r little "fin.-k m" papers echoed the song, as to the rdaclve prices of sagir on tlv Is; of S.-pie.nber this year and last.

It will be ooservel that the rise occurred Immediately following the heavy LnjxH-titlons of the spring and early summer, when tha stock of sugar in this country was largest. Moreover, as we have ah own by quotations heretofore, raw sugT was lower In price than it 1 now, although refined ugar wa3 higher. We woiild aNo call the attention of the Cour.er to th fact that this rise in sugar In 18?3 was witb'tit any other cause than The witl Lf the sugar trust, and that the truj; pro:! is were largely In excess of the "'protdcion" given to the trust, as are also its pr.-lits at the present time. There Is only ne pxslbl? way to beat down the rug-ar trust's nwnopii In this country, and thu Is to remove all "protection" from sugar refining. If that were done foreign cc-mpetltivn might be successfully Introduced and the country freed from this Incubus. It could have been done if Jthe republicans had voted fr it In the List congress, but Lhey refused to do so except when coupled with raw sugar, and l:iJc?J furnih-d the nce?s.iry votes to j:et the sujir schedule Into the bill. There Is no politics In sugar f-r the republicans thla year, and they might as well hunt up some n-w campaign cry. r.IAtllVATION OF IIAVKMKYF.IU "Whleh do a regard aa most favorulile to the augur triivt, the 3IoKlnlrjr law or the arnnte lillir MI regard the McKinley law mnch better for the aaititr trnat of ninrar." TIIK MVIMJ KMXTIOV. The Journal sees in the Maine election proof that "the drift of the political tide toward republicanism Is irresistible." About the only comforting thing to a democrat In the Maine election Is that it does not how any drift of Importance toward republicanism, though it does ehow a great capacity for staying at hoime among democrats. A Maine election is primarily a republican affair. The normal republican majority Is about 20,00, thouxh in 1892 It dropped to 12,.",00 on the vote for governor, which is the test vote in presidential years. The election for governor and state officers being held

; ia Spte-mber, the larger vote is cast i

then. In 1S32 the vote for president was 12.000 less than for governor, the republicans losing ",000 and the democrats 7.000. The vote of the Ftate in the last three general elections is as follows, the vote for 1SSS being for president and the remainder for governor: Hep. Dem. iMise. 1SSS 73.734 50.4SI 4,03: 1S00 64.214 4:.P,31 4.277 1S92 67.603 55.07S 6.737 v It Is evident, therefore, that If the vote for Cleaves, the republican candidate for governor, should reach 70.000, as claimed, he will not have more than a normal republican vote, ajid If the democratl? vote drop to 33.000 It will merely mean that so many democrats did not come out. It can hardly be claimed that democrats have been Joining the republicans. Neither Is the claimed election of all the state senators and 110 of the representatives by the republicans particularly startling. In 1SSS the republicans elected all the senators and 125 representatives, while the democrats elected twenty-six representatives. In 1S90 the republicans elected twentyseven senators and 110 representatives, i the democrats electing but four senators and forty-one representatives. In 1S32 the republicans elected thirty senators and 107 representatives, the democrats electing one senator and forty-four representatives. In these figures all opponents of the republicans are classed as democrats. The simple fact Is that, owing to the natural location of votes, aided by a Judicious gerrymander, the democrats have been practically shut out of the Maine legislature for years past. There is a lesson in the Maine election for the democrats of Indiana and other states that are normally democratic. Beware of overconfiJenee. The danger is In an apathy among voters, and a tendency not to vote, simply because the real significance of this election has not been impressed upon them. What Is needed Is close work. Every democrat and every independent should be visited and impressed dth the Importance of Indorsing the house of representatives and President Cleveland in their struprffle with the senate. A vote for a republican or populist congressman is a vote to indorse Gorman, lirice and Smith. K A A I I N' ATI O OF II A V KM K Y Kit.

The case of Dr. D nigan Clark will prolably give a new life to a vext-d th.m-log-ierU question whii-h has probably caused as much trouble in the world as any known point of dlffeivncs between sacts, but on? which for some years p.i.t has almost dropped out of sight. Volumes have been written on baptism. Men have fjught over It, have been executed for their views of it, have b?;-n excommunicated for heresy on account of their belief as to it. Usually it has been a question of form of administration of the water. The Poci?ty of friends, as the "quaker3" are properly known, made the radical step of discarding water baptism entirely and holding that baptism of the spirit was the all-sufficient compliance with the teachings of Christ and the apostles. The principal sprictural texts on which this doctrine Is faunded are this teaching of John the Baptist and its several applications: Then cometh one mightier than I aft?r me. the latchet of whose shnes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. I inde-d have baptized you with water: but He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. If this teaching of John stood alone It would not have so great weight, but It grv-1 in Importance when we find it repeated by the apostles, as in this verse from the first chapter of Acts, preceding the day of Pentecost: For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall ba baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. Or even more strongly In the practical application by Paul at Corinth: And he said unto them. Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said. Unto John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on Him which should come after him, thflt Is. on Jesus Christ. When they heard this they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them the Holy Ohost came on them; and they spake with tongues and prophesied. Coupled with these statements as to the distinction between the baptism of water and the baptism of the Holy Ghost Is used thl-j passage from Kphesi.ans: There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called In one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism. One G)d and Father of all, who Is above all, and through all, aid in you all. Which baptism is then tlje true and necessary on? This argument 13 very plausible, and yt It Is well known that many quakers have qualms of conscience on the question of baptism, and many have exercised their privilege of accepting th? rite. Consistency would appear to Justify the removal of Dr. Clark from the ofTlce of expounding the doctrines of the church, and yet It is certain that his action will have a wide effect In the church, and it is doubtful If he can be kept out of the ministry, fn fact, no church has been cutting away from eld ldas more rapidly than the society of friends in the last twenty years. Twenty years ago congregational singing wa unknown In their meetings. No one sang unless "rmved by the spirit," and not more than one was moved at the same time. Now congregational singing is common. The representative meeting of thwestern yearly meeting of friends, a few day ago, was opened by singing "All hall the power of Jesus' name." But while this is progression In one sens?, it may be questioned if it be not retrogression in another. The tendency of modern Christianity is toward spiritual religion. Forms and customs are being held less and Iftss In esteem. The quaker church has been peculiarly one of spirit

ual religion. The only departure from broad intirpivtaticos Ls its singular literal interpretation uf t.i c mr.naiui. "Swear nt at all." Is a mwe toward water baptism, in a church that recognizes no sacrament In a material way, to ba called an advance? Is it not rather a step in the direction opposite to the general movement of the Christian world? Are symb d.s. and forms, and decorations, and fixed service primitive of Christianity? The society of friends has never so considered them, and we believe the tendency of the churches ls against them. The Munci? Xews of Tuesday prints Smiley Chtmbers's speech, delivered in Muneie Monday ni.ht. Smiley, among other foolish things, said: Tha only thing the democratic party produced since g ing inti power was the poor, puny, u.ady, despised seipegoat, which went in the guise of a tariff bill. Two columns to the left of Smlley's speech In the same paper an enterprising merchant said: When th tariff fell We introduced a new scale of prices! Big reduction! Chiliren's school suits. Children's school shoes. Children's school cops and hats. It Is reassuring to note that the Ohio county conventions are denouncing !Mr. Calvin S. P.rice in a way that must touch that gentleman's nerves. That Is business. The Ohio democrats cannot often carry Ohio, but they can do an immense service to the party In the nation by ridding themselves and it of this disgrace. We trust that the sentiment will be strong enough to insure his denunciation by the next Ohio state democratic convention in th? most emphatic terms.

The Snmuol K. Wells glass work.s at Greenfield has started up with "00 men, and the Iihvrvicw farm Implement and supply compiny has located at Anderson. The latter comes from Uraiford, Canada, and will employ 2n0 men. Strange that industri'-s should move into a ruined free trade country, but Indiana is moving along in these democratic times. Under democratic management the country ls surely returning t ante-bellum conditions of an empty treasury. Columbus Republican. D"n't you know that one of the emptiest treasuries ever known in this country was reached during 1 1,irrisvnis administration. Mr. Cleveland left an immense surplus and Mr. Harris m, with his billion-dollar congress, s-iumdered it. Mr. Allen Ivnvis informs us that he said other "equally as good thing.-" as his "dynamite to h 1" observation. Doubtless. Mr. Lewis reminds us of th e clergyman who did not like his title and was advised by Sidney Smith to call h!m.olf "the liathrr Heven ml Mr. ." Tl'e New York Tiroes feats there Is a surfeit of gold, but s.iys it dxs not kr. v h)w to detect one. That is easy enough. The certain symptom of it is an advance in average pi iee.s of all other artictes. which are measured in gold. There are no present indications cf a surfeit. The great notional Is.-ue is the Indorsement of the hoiiFo and the president in their struggle with the senate traitors. It Is essential to th? welfare of th country that none but reliable tariff reformers be returned to congress. It is reported thit llriee will resign if th-1 Ohio state convention denounces him. Hurry up and denounce him. But, unfortunately, he says h will not resign. Then denounce him twice as much. One of the strongest arguments in favor of the bicycle bloomer costume is the increasing number of accidents which have resulted from ladies catching their skirts in their wheels. Right on the heels of the failure of natural gas comes the blowing up of Alexandria by that combustible. It must have been purely Imaginary. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The committee on temperance made its report to the conference session, which provoked an earnest di-cuson which was participated in by .several of the preachers, myself among the rest. The remark attributed to me which seems to have attracted so much attention In the newspapers Is reported to have been as follows: "The democratic party should be blown to hell with dynamite." What I did say. as nearly as I can repeat It, was ar, follows: "The report is too thin. If I had my way about tt I would put enough dynamite and enough powder and lead into it 'to blow the whole buslnsess and the parties which are in league with it and support It into an endlef.s bell." A very much more comprehensive statement than the gurbled one, as can be seen. I also said many other equally as good things. Yours. ALLEN LEWIS. Pastor First M. E. church.

It 13 not a world's fair. In the ordinary sense of the word, since all exhibits are to be furnished by China itself, but if half the reports sent out are true, it has been planned to exceed all other fairs by whatever name called.

He was born in Jefferson county, 111., fifty-five T years ago, and attended the common schools until he was eighteen and then went to work. In 1S59 he removed to Nebraska, where he has since remained. except during the late war, when he served three years in the South. When Nebraska became a state he was sent to the first and second sessions of the state sonate. In 1$S0 he tried to enter congress, but was defeated, and since then has served two terms in the state senate and two in the house. John Gary Evans, the reform convention's nominee for governor of South Carolina, has recently attracted much attention as the author of the dispen'rn r JOHN O. r.VANS. sary laws of the state. He was born inCokosburg, S. C, thirty-one years ago, and is the second son of Gen. N. G. Evans, "the hero of Ball Bluff." He was graduated from Union college, Schenectady, N. Y., in 18S3. studied law with his uncle, MaJ. W. T. Gary, and was admitted to the bar In 1S83. He was not long in establishing a good legal reputation and in 18S8 was sent to the state house of representatives. Later he was sent to the state senate. Nchruskn's Discredited Candidate. The republicans of Nebraska have been toasting that they were able to elect a "yellow dog" to the governorship this year if it pleased them to do so. A few days ago they nominated for governor Thomas J. Majors, who is known in the state as a profligate, reprobate and several other fancy names. K. J. Rosewater, editor of the Omaha Bee, has declined to support the nominee. When asked for his reason he said he was not supporting "yellow dogs" this year. Ba van nah New-

Unsatisfactory as it Is to free-traders m many respects, thee two Items make a distinct and important advance from which there will be no recedindf Vre" lumber and free wool will so ph ase the people that the republicans will not d ire replace the McKinley schedules if they ever get the power to do It. Chicago Herald (dem.). Judge Woods in hearing the arguments in Chicago In the Debs contempt case said that street car trafiie is a part of Interstate commerce, because ftrrt cars carry from station to station people en route from one state to another. Logically, therefore, a cab. an omnibus or a hott 1 elevator ls also a part of Interstate commerce, and the line could be drawn out indefinitely so as to include all departments of trade and business. Philadelphia Inquirer (rep.). What can be funnier than the apologetic announcement of a haberdasher to his customers that he has been obliged to buy in a cheaper market when he would have preferred to buy in a dearer :?. and that, against his principles and his conscience, he is constrained to offer his wares at prire.s lower than they eearrat to be sold? Isn't this sort of thing del;, i. us? When the buyer gets a d ollar's worth of flannels, or cottons, or crockery, or groceries, or other stuffs, fT half a dollar, to keep up the humor of the situation he also ought to groan and lament that the day of McKinley trading is overpast. An exceeding stiff protectionist buyer micht ease his mind by putting the half-dollars saved in the purchase of cheaper good into the republican campaign fund to bring Mc-Kini'-yism back again. Philadelphia Record (dem.). It Ls Just as well to face th" truth in this matter. Neither the mugwumps nor the cuckoos em the one hand, nor the stalwart republican organs on the other can obscure th fact that the socalled Gorman law i vastly advantageous to the people at large and will have th effect of cheapening almost every article of general and necessary use. The mugwumps and cu-.-koos do not want to think so, and are wiillng ;:t any time to li rather than admit it. The republicans, also, though with different ends in view are equally anxious to discredit and mlsrepres. nt the law. But Wanainaker is selling goods, aid in his capacity as a wide-awake retailer, he finds it best to tell the truth. Trade is trade. Business is business. And money talks every time. The opponent of the new tariff will find it very hrrd to argue against Wanamaker's oargain counter figures. Washington Post (Ind.). IH:iANA IDEAS. Every man t.no uses lumber cao thank the dem vratle party for lopping off the tax of $2 p-r thousand on lumber. Ail pine, hemlock and northern lumber of all kinds. Including shingles, will nw be cheaper. Coiinersvilh' Examiner (Jem.). The tax on tin plate was reduced just one-lir.lf. but th" tin-pjate factori'-s are not closing up. Neither are they reducing wages. On the other hand they are increasing the output of tin plate and employing mire men. Logansport Pharos (dem.). Under the McKinley bill both wheat and wool fell to the lowest prices ever known for thoe articles in the country. Even in the short time since the passage of the new tariff bill both have ad-vanc-tl !n price. This fa-t proves mo. t conclusively that It was republican and not democratic legislation that ruined the prices of farm products. Blufl'ton Banner (dem.). The new tariff bill is demonstrating the falsity of republican prophesies of calamity. Renewed and Increasing Industrial activity di.-p-W'S of ihe claim that only a McKinley law is th? guaranty of business success. Recovery from the porikil paralysis attenlajit up n republican legislation is the ircnd of th" times. And what is more discouraging, from a republican point of view, is that every succeeding day decreases chances for the avail loil-ty of alarmist arguments. Lafayette Journal (dem.). Wool produced in the United States will be Increased in price by reason of W(ds being on the free list, (1) because we produce only a small ixrtlon of what we use in woolen goods; (2) because the kind we do produce in being made into goods is mixed with foreign wool, the price of which is enhanced by reason of the tariff, and (3) because by reason of the enhanced price of imported wool, due to the tariff, our manufacturers are restricted In their operations, thus limiting the market for our domestic wools. With greatly Increased activity in woolen manufactures, which is sure to come now, the demand for American wool will become active and it is an active market that sustains and advances prices. Terre Haute Gazette (dem.). nynum's Able Speech. Congressman Bynum's speech at the Pavilion Saturday afternoon was one of the ablest ever made in Anderson. The republicans who heard It were dumbfounded at the power of the speech. The successful and satisfactory' manner in which he handled the issues of the campaign were simply astonishing to our republican friends. When they contemplate that Congressman Iiyr.um ls to d -liver no less than twenty such speeches in this county they grow sick at heart. Everyman, woman and child in Madison county should hear 'Mr. Eynum. That republican who said that Bynuui was a dangerous ruin dangerous to the sophistries of republicans never spoke a truer .sentence. Anderson Democrat. Bright Western Educational Outlook. The almost Invariable report fr -m the western colleges and universities which have opened for the school year is of Increased attendance and bright prospects. If the ratio is the same in the schools yet to open, and the figures as given out may be accepted as authentic, there will be from 2" to 100 per cent, more students enrolled in the higher institutions of the West this year than last. In the public or common schools there is always a natural Increase almost as large, so that the proposition may be safely accepted for all educational Interests. From which it may be concluded that the West Ls doing Its full duty by education. Kansas City Times. Dili Not Tnke Kindly to Sorinllmti. The French socialists have always found the peasant proprietors deaf to their Wisest charming. In the cities, especially the manufacturing cities, it has been comparatively easy to get the landless and houseless to agree to Turning over all the property of other people to the state for common use, but the thickheaded agriculturist, with his feet on his own soil and his own roof over him, has not been aide to see It in that light. N. Y. Evening Post. Ilepnillated by II In Party. District after district Is being roundel up in this state against the return o Cameron to the senate. The opposition to him is so widespread that it is not difücu't to predict that he cannot under any circumstances again represent Pennsylvania. And yet Colorado and some of the little silver states are actually talking about Cameron for president. Philadcluhia Inquirer. McKlnleylsin mill Wnge Reductions. Only those McKInlevltes who raised wages for their employes after the passage of the McKinley act can consistently lower them now. In such cases labor would have nothing to complain of, but such employers do not exist. There were wage reductions under the McKinley tariff, but no increases. M 11 waukee Journal.

His loyal soul became surcharged with Indignation as he c ntemp'.ated th- "sectional" character of the senate tariff bill. "It ls a southern measure," screeched the pe?wee candidate. The day before Henry delivered himself of this speech, a convention of sugar planters was held at New Orleans and ihey resolved to loR the democratic party because it repealed the sugar bounty and to support the republican party bee uise it favored the bounty system. This looks like the senate tariff bill was sectional, when tha sugar-growers of Louisiana denounced the measure.
