They should com to the yellow brilge. Republican Speakers art never molestd there. If Mr. Rjm-in Harrison ha J not used up all of th public money and left th? United States treasury practically bankrupt when ho retired from cfHee Indianapolis might tlay contain another handsome public building. ' Governor McKinley says the panic of 1S73 was . 1 1 1 o to an inllated currency. .What was the matter with the Inflated currency of which was still inflating at the? rate of about $7.VCO,c00 a year? The Sherman purchase law was the worst Inflater this country ever had. The people ought to know where they ere at on the natural pas question before the election. The Sentinel is informed that republican.'? arc circulating a report that the d. mocratio candidates f r the legislature are in favor of a meter law in order to cover up the fact that their own candidates favor such a law. We present this morning a tabulated statement of tho actual reduction of price on wo ...Jen pood.-, prepared by the wellknown statistician. Jacob Schoenhof. Ry a computation, based on the consumption of lS'.'O. Mr. S--honhof shows that the total reduction in cost. anJ savins to the people, on wollen goods alone, amounts to $103.034.000 per year under the new tariff law. Hut any one can tell pretty nearly what the savin? amount to to him by examination of the reduction per cent, in price, whc h averages from onethird to or.e-f .urth of the total cost. Kokomo is having an experience somewhat similar to th it of Indianapolis in th effort "f its authorities to make a showing, of mo.-aJity.

The interview with Vice-President Stevenson, pubiishd in our columns this mrni:i-, i.? a wh-ilsom and cheering contribution to the campaign. Mr. Stevensj'.i h.us been over the western country pretty thoroughly in the pa-t few week and his Judgment of '.he situation ouht to be pretty good, lie think the democrats wiil carry Illinois and elect CMacVe-ign to the senate. If they do It will be a victory that will gladden every democratic hart from Maine to Oregon. It will be observed that Mr. Stevenson ba.vj his view on the intelligence of the people as well as on his observation of public sentiment. Every material circumstance favors democratic victory and the party Is on the right side of every que-siio.n that 13 before the people. Busl-B'-äs is improving rapidly everywhere and the people can see for themelv.3 that th? tariff '.iw, which republican pretend raused the panic. Is the very thing that Is lifting the country out of it. , He puts Mr. Harrison's financiering in A very clear light. Everybody remern- , drs that la 1SS3 the great question was

what t) do with the surplus. Doth great i

PjMtical parties gave their plans in the platform. The republicans said they wou!d set rid of it ty taking taxes off from whisky and toloct-., and by a tariff ; that would stp lrnpori. And republicans aid a preat nianj- bright thir.?? about it. Fred (Jrant Faid, "It Is easier to handle a surplus than a deficit." and Corporal Tanner said, "tlod he'.p th" surp'.us if I get hold of it." Hut there was ro talk about any surplus when 1S!J came, nor when Harrison went out. On the contrary, every one vj talking aibout the empty tr?ai'ry, and his treasurer w.us ordering !nds printed. Is there a voter who his forjrotten these facts? Every voter knew there was a surplus in Kvery voter knew there was not one in 1S95. IMHAVl IX ro(iUIS. The Journal publL-'h-s an interview with railroad magnate FaLrbmk. , in which he s reported &3 saying: "YVe shall elect seven representatives to cnngr5. and possibly two more." If such a calamity fhoulj result from, the coming election it wou'.d be dua entirely to the action of "sorehead" democrats men who, while making protestations of democracy, are voting and working against congressional J candidates because thy or some of their friend.? have fai'.ed to get offices that they desired. Thee 1." no roini for question a to this fact. It L? not peculiar to any one district, but is to be otvervecT In all the democratic districts. There Is nothing new in such opposition. It is always found to exist by tho party in power. P-sslbly It is more pronounced than uual in pom district", hut that Is questionable. It U certain, however, that? if it should re?ult at thL time as Mr. Fairbanks predicts, these disappointed people will have dona an irreparable Injury to their party, and on-? that will not toon be forgotten. It is n probability that has bn recognized by the leading men of both partis in the nation that the next presidential election may b? gtttled by the national hnus-3 of representatives. The Rocky Mountain states, are getting into a chaotic political condition, and . are some other states west of th-' Mississippi, and possibly some In the South. No one can tell just how far the populist craze or the freu coinage of silver agitation may carry sme tates. and, therefore, political prudeneo dictate that every pint of possible danger should b guarded. In case the election cf a president in 190 should be thrown into the national house of representatives, the congressmen e'.ectod at the present election would d the voting for Indiana, and the constitution provides Chat in, such election fit president each state shall cast one vote, and th majority of the congressional delegation shill cast it. If. a.s Mr. Fairbanks predict.", the republicans should elect seven or more oongnvsmen from this state, the voto In, Indiana would be cast for a republican president in ISO. No amount of regret then could prevent it. There is another injury to th? party being done by thLs. opposition that Ls more pressing and that doe not d.'pmd on any future contingency. This is the injury to the l?:al tickets. It is well known to every one who hai had any experience in electi in.! that !n spite of all the educating that ha been done, or that can b done, hundred, of men will make their tickets void if they attempt to scratch, and thLs b especially true x to men who ordinarily vote a straight, ticket. Every ticket Improperly stamp -1 is tho. wn out. The vote is 1 ;.-t. I'.v.-ibly the men whr are lea P-rs in opposition. to congres.U'nal candidate kn w how to scratch th?ir tickets, but they influence men whi do not kn w :i'w to scratch. It i- s tfe t say that at least one-half of the voters thy infiuen." will e o mark their ballots a to 1 se their vote, and th e vote are lost t.i th" entire county tieket. Any person who is ufginir voter to scratch one candidate is. in fact, workir.g against h!s on'.irr! party ticket, no matt r whoth t he intern1 to d so r not. He is: doing a iiireet injury to every canlilate on that tkke;. He is aiding ia d.-.'--t:r:g hL party ticket. I, is a g od pian to think for s.-me. time before entering into work of that rt. Tin: lii.iss woitKKUs. A reader wmts to know the cause of the support of Charles I. Henry by the glass-blowers of this district. The glassblowers of this district are not supporting Charles I... Henry. It is reported, however, that a large number of the window-glass-blowers have Joined Henry club., and say that they will support him. The reason of that is not that they approve of Henry's labor record, but that they are angry at Mr. Uynum. Nearly all of the wind.w-glass-b'.owers are foreigners, protect!. nUt and republicans. They have the idea that protection makes wages, and last year a number of th"m petitioned Mr. Uynum to vote and work agi'nst any reduction of the tariff on window gla-3. To this Mr. Rynuin at once replied: House of Representatives, Washington, I. C. Oct. 14. IMS. Messrs. it. O. Norcros. Charles J. Hoffman, K.wood, Ind.: Dear Sirs I am In receipt of yours of the 17th Inst., inclosing certain sundry petitions, numerously sigm-d, addressed to me requesting that I use my influence as a representative in congress to pre vent a reductioa of the tariff on window glass. After five successive campaigns. in which I advocated, without reserve, a reducti jn of existing duties, I cannot believe that there is an intelligent voter in th Seventh congressional distrK-t. which I have the nonor to represent, that did not, when he cast his vote, understand my view on this important question. I shall not at this time undertake to dem onstrate that the present rates of duties on window glass are unnecesari.y and exorbitantly high and ought to be re duced. I am firmly convinced that such is the eise, and I would 'be an unworthy representative should I not honest.y en deavor to carry out th principles which ! I have so unfalteringly advocated, and which I sincerely ibeiieve to be for the best Interests of the people. Your truly, V.. D. IJYNTJM. In so writing Mr. Uynum did his duty, and every A.nerlcan citizen, whether a democrat or a republican, will honor him for It. The window glass manufacturers. pretending that the reduction of the tariff on window glass made necessary a reduction of wages, cut the wages of the fclowera, who ar their hijhast-prlcvU

laborers, and the blowers are now retaliating on Mr. Ilynum. Some of the more intelligent ones know that the reduction Is not 1ue to the tariff and ar? actively supporting' h;m. Iut while this one branch of organized labor is giving some support to organized labor's avowed enemy, Charles L.. Henry, the other 'branches are not. Notably the flini-glass-blowor have taken their stand against him, and are now sending out the following thr-ush official channels: Local union No. 3 of the American flint glassworkers' union passed th following resolutions unanimously at their last regular meeting: Whereas, It has been (barged that Chrles L. Henry, a candidate fir congress In the Seventh congressional district of Indiana, is opposed to organized labor and was instrumental in having laws pas-el that were detrimental to organized iaoor in th? Indiana legislature, and. Whereas, It is the opinion of the members of local union No. 3 that said Charles L. Henry is guilty of said charges, and. Whereas. It is with regret we notice the attempt of any party to thrust upon us an enemy of organized labor as said Charles L. Henry; therefore, toe it Resolved. That local union No. 3, of the American flint glassworkers union, composed of 27S free American citizens, pledge ourselves to do all In our power to defeat him for the above-mentioned oftice. These resolutions were passed unanimously and express the sentiment of the organized la1or of Alexandria and a large portion of Madison county. The truth is that in MadLson countyHenry's hostility to organized labor is notorious, and, although Henry's emissaries succeeded in buying up two of the witnesses against him and running them out of the .täte, these same men had been telling the truth about Henry long "before they made their affidavits that were published in The Sentinel. The workingmen of Madison county cannot te deceived now iby their purchased recantations, but Henry hops to deceive workingmen where he is not so well known.

M it. liiTM-tirs spitncii. Of all the republican speeches that hive beevi considered important enough to print, th" worst that has yet appeared i:i Indiana, with possibly the exception of that of Charles L. Henry, 1. the one delivered by the Hon. John M. Hutler at Lafayette. In its main features it is a rehasii of the general argument. of the campaign on the repubiican side the Wilson banquet, Mr. Cleveland's objections to the tariff bill becau there was too much McKinleyism left in it. the abolition of recipr-vity, and the like. He goes beyond rnt of his colleagues in denounc ing roundly the income; tax law, though unquestionably his party would promptly repeal that law if it had the power to do so. Put in following these lines Mr. Putler makes occasional statements so absurd that ha might have learned better even bv reading hi own former campaign speeches. For example; he informs us that wages are much lower in Europe than in this country, and then gravely asserts that "all of those nations believe in selfprotection by tariff law and Impose tariff duties upon manufactured articles that come in direct competition with like ar ticle. manufactured within their own boundaries." If so. why should wevant a similar protection? Mr. Hutler l ery emphatic on this point. ma st.;0 iiiea free trade England his her h'gh prc4lT Lve tariff laws." Mr. Hutler certainly ouVt t.. know better than that. There is not. a protective tariu law on mt? x.iis-" statuta bocks. Mr. Hutler calls attention, to the panic of 18.77 aril insinuates, though he does not say expressly, that it was due to a fear of tariff reduction. This is an old trick of Mr. Hutlefs. H? knjw that the panic of 1"7 was purely a money panic a "wild-cat" money panic. He knows that n. i-epublici ni at the time pretended that it v.a.i due to tariff legislation. He kn iws that the tariff law of 1SÖ7 was enacted because what is known as the tr.e- jrale law of 1S1G was producing too much revenue. He knows that Nathaniel p. Ranks, republican speaker of the house of representatives, selected the republican committee on ways and means which reported the bill vT is.,7 reducing the tariff duties of 1S40. a n.l that the bill received the cnthtislatic support of the republicans of the house and the senate. Such senator as William H. Seward. Henry Wilson and Lafiyette S. Foster supplied and voted for it. He knows that the republican party never ventured any. change of that law until thi necessities of war compelled it, and then put it on that ground. He knows that the panic of 1SÖ7 followed that law instead of preceding it, and. therefore, could not have been caused by anticipation of the law. The panic of 1S57 was the product of causes very similar to those that made the panic of 1S03. In 1S'.3 the country was flooded with wi'.d-cat money. Hundred. of millions of John Sherman's silver certificates were afloat, secured by silver bullion and demonetized silver coin lying in the vaults of the mint, whose intrinsic value was diminishing daily. That the fear that this policy would cause a suspension of specie payments' produced the panic cf 1S?:J was conceded by bankers and financiers everywhere. The Sentinel predicted it a year before it came. The republican press conceded it. The republican congressmen conceded it, and worked and voted for the repeal of the Sherman purchase law. Mr. Puller further states that Mr. Harrison ""left a surplus of $124,000.000 dollars in the United States treasury. Mr. Harrison's treasurer's report shows a balance cf J21.128.087. Mr. Hutler, we presume, add to this tho gold reserve of $100,000,000. Rut even the balance shown by Mr. Harrison's treasurer would not have appeared if he had kept hi books a they weft? kept utider Mr. Cleveland. At the time of the last report, March 1. 1SD3. there were included in the "available cash" $22,272,001 of the national bank note redemption fund, and $10.071,S73 of fractional coin, which had not b?cn included under former presidents, and if these had been included Mr. Harrison's administration would have closed with a deficit of $3,115,849. And finally, coming to state Issues, Mr. Iiut'.er states that the direct tax refund "constitutes almost tho entire amount"

that ha3 been "pail out upon the state debt by way of redaction." The Sentinel ha repeatedly sh -n the falsity of this

statement. None cf tha direct tax refund wa paid out on the debt. It wis v-.rl to keep the ;ate'.s head abme waur until the new tax lir: was in eperair::. All the payments on the state debt have h.---n made, out of the taxs ccllectvd upder th? new law. We trust that Mr. Putler wilt be wis enough and fair enjuga to correct ihce glaring errors in his speech tomorro.v r.igh-t. ' TUM IIOX. W. H. IVY X CM. It b hardly probable thU the effort? of the Journal to smirch the H n. W. R. Uynum by m?re billingsgate will have any more effect this year than it has had in past years. If it c?uld bring forward any accusation against him it might do some harm, but its assaults are nothing but abuse nothing but th? windy diatribe that tike ths place of argument with certain classes of peuple. For ten years Mr. Dynum has lived in the fiercest light of political criticism. There is not an act of hla that could be considered in any sense deserving of rebuke that has not been brought forward against him, and when ventilated, and garbled and distorted to the utmost it has fallen harmless to the ground, because there wi3 nothing In it. And each time the peopls of this district have triumphantly returned him to congress to represent their interests. In congress he has been an honor to the district. Ry his own ability and force of character he has made himself a man of national reputation, and he his been so recognized by his colleagues. His ability as an orator 1 conceded on all sides, and it is well known to every one who follows the course of congres3 thit he has been put forward by his party to speak on all the more Important issue? that have been before that body. His ability In council is equally conceded. His present position on the ways and means committee and his selection as a compiler of the democratic campaign bk of this year are sufficient evidence of that. Even thi most unjbservant must realize that Jlr. Pynutn stands high in the ranks of his party in a nation ü way, and this point he ha3 reached by his own record, for congress is a place wh?re every tub stands on its own bjttom, and there are collected there the best tubs that the counry can furnish. We think this district appreciates these facts. It has shown this by repeated elections of Mr. Uynum. Mr. Bynum's standing is now a thing of importance to this district. A new federal building is need?d in. this city. Obtaining it is necessarily a long and tedious affair. Mr. Uynum ha3 been in charge of it thus far and has done much to advance It ti a satisfactory conclusion. His present position on the way and means mmitte? t,lf his influence with his colleagues will If of great service in pressing the claims of this city for a new building. Certainly no new and inexperienced man could possibly hope to attain a position of similar influence In less than half a d?zen 'years of service in congress. It would be filly on th? part of those who are desirous of securing this j advantage or more prowly, . this act of Justice for this city to turn to a new man at this stage of th? proceedings. fl '1 HACK'S CACHIXKATIOX. The iion. William Cumb.jk, who is accustomed leave the 'larrl off the latter end of his first name and "at an "I am" in fro'nt of it, hes broken loose in the Cincinnati Commercial (tazette. Ho breaks forth humorously, facetiously, frivolously. He 1 amused by the fact that "the democratic, orator" claims that "the tax the democrats put on sugar will make It cheaper." That Is indeed a funny thing. It may properly be classed as a mirth-provoker. E en so solemnlooking a relic as Mr. Cumback could reasonably be moved to laughter by it. And the funniest thing about it i? that there is not a word of truth in Mr. Cumback's statement that it exists. iHnocratie orators are not saying anything of the kind. It is just like the story that they "promised $1.23 wheat" in lStV: It is just like the story that Denny and Powell were and are enforcing the liquor law. Nearly all republican Jokes would be good if they were true, and the rest would be good if they were new. Rut when a joke has neither truth nor youth it is not good. It. Iii wormy. It makea the wise man sad, and the busy man mad. and the profane man bad. What democrats do say is that sugar is cheaper now than it was under the McKinley law. And that is) the fact. As Mr. Cumback would say, "That is the Hod's truth of the whole business." And neither Mr. Cumback nor any other man can deny it. And 6) they try to laugh it away. but they cannot. The simple truth is that the McKinley bill did not. provide for free sugar of any kind that the people use. It put a tax on all refined sugar that enabled the trust to keep out foreign competitors and to charge the people more for their sugar than they do now. That is why the republic? ns are not "students of markets" this year. Markets have become too complicated for thorn. They want something easier. XO JIKTElt MKASl'HKIKT. The Sentinel is Informed that a movement is on foot in the gas belt, and through all parts of the state that are supplied with gas from the gas belt, to secure the passage of a law by the next legislature providing that gas shall le sold by meter measurement. The basis for the contemplated action is the pretended failure of gas, and it will be urged that meter measurement will result in great saving ar.d husbanding of tM.' useful article. Xothing is being ta!d openly on the subject, but candidates for the legislature are being fixed in cases where they were not originally chosen with this object in view, and foisted on nominating conventions through the efforts of the gas companies and their emissaries. It is hardly . necessary to say that The Sentinel Ls earnestly opposed to any such meaure. or that the people are opposed to

it. Even assuming that it is true that gas is failing, there would be no justice in such a kiw. It would simply add enormously to the profits of the gas companies and not stop the waste of gas at all. The wajte of gas does not come from domestic consumption. It comes from the use of n.tmtn-aux. from sinking wells and abandoning them while still flowing without pluceing them, and similar wasteful action. There is more ga lost from defective pn. es laid by the companies than there is wasted by all th". domestic consumers in the state. This is a matter which the people should look into at once. It will not pay them to elect to the legislature men who would vote for a meter law, and now is the time to stop any misfortune of that kind. The Sentinel is very certain that none of the legislative candidates of the democratic party in this county would vote for such a law and that none of them would hesitate to say so over their names. It is informed that four of the republican candidates are pledged to upport a meter law. This is something that ought to be known certainly without any possibility of quibbling or evasion.

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT.

There are many who believe that Cardinal Svampa, archbishop of Rlog..a. will be the next occupant of the pmtihcial throne. The superstitious taue hi name CAi: MS A I. SVAMPA as a sure sign that this will lc the case, for a curk'ii old book of Latin prophecies, giving a motto for each of the pop0, gives for the successor of Pope Leo XIII. "Ignis ardens."

Some prelates have sail of Cardinal Svampa that he has no ln but his age. He is only forty-three, but as according to Prof. Lapponl, the pope's doctor, Leo XIII will probably live at least ten years more, what has been termed the only sin of Cardinal Svampa will be corrected. Of interest to wage-earners is President G. W. Perkins of the Cigarmakers international union, and his story of the cigarmakers' blue label. Since the label l.as C.

A cigar bearing the blue label assures a smoker that his cigar has been mile by a union man, in a clean factory, under fair conditions) and pay, and costs the consumer not a cent more than one made by nonuionists. President Perkins succeeded President Strass.-r in lstu as head of the cigarmakers" organization, and he bids fair to maintain the prestige of the organization in the labor world for an indefinite period. The serious illness of the czar of Russia creates interest in and sympathy for the czarina, whose picture accompanies this sketch. She is a sister of Alexandra, the rMPKES3 0F EUSSIA. princess of Wales', and one of threo daughters of King Christian of Denmark. She was married at St. Petersburg, Ort. 28. 1SG6, and since then has rested in the affection of her giant lord and master, the czar of all the Russias. The czar is a model husband, and no breath of scandal has ever touched their marital relations. The empress was brought up in a plain and religious manner, and through her lovable dispositon and tact has become a great favorite of tho Russians. It is said that no one demands in vain her Md and protection. She has directed the education of her five children, and to them has communicated the best traits of her nature, her modesty and goodness of heart. She has a shrewd wit and a keen glance and can decipher the polities of the time.

A singular phenomenon occurs on th I orders of the Red sea at a place called Nakmis, where the intermittent underground sounds have been heard for an. unknown number of centuries. Tt 1. situated at about half a mile's distance from the shore, whence a long reach of sand ascends rapidly to a hight of almost CnO feet. This retch is eighty feet wide and resembles an amphitheater, being railed in by low rocks. The sounds coming up from the ground at this piace recur at Interval of alxiut an hour. They at first resemble a low murmur, but before long th-re is heard a loud knoekinfr somewhat like the strokes of a bell and which, at the end of five minutes, becomes so strong as to r gitate the sand. Tho explanation of this curious phenomenon given bv the Arab." ls that there is a convent "under the ground, and these are the sounds of the bell which the monks ring for prayers. So they call it No.kous, which means a bell. The Arabs atlinn that the noise so frightens their camels when they hear it as to render them furious. Scientist attribute the round to suppress-! volcanic; act'on probably to the bubbling of gas or vapors underground. (oliig IliioU. in l'nrinn. In a recent issue of the Maine Farmer attention is called to the fact that the hard times and want of employment in cities and towns have caused many person. to return to the country and bay farms. The Farmer commends the movement and observes that the industrious workingman on a farm of his own will never lack for employment. "There may not." it says, "be so much money handled from their labor on the farm, but in many oars that labor judiciously expended on the land will bring more for the outlay in other and necessary forms than the money earning.-; in the city can nnrehase. This drift, then, from the clty i to better and happier homes on the J farms should 'be en -oiirage l. There never was. and probably never will be, a better time to make the change than now. Farms, wherever found for sale, are surprisingly low in value." A corrt.-P ndeiit who sends us the clipping from the Farmer notes the fact that in Mao land. too. there are many farms to 'be had by workmen who are tired of the uncertainties of life in overcrowded cities. "There are." he says, "thousands of farms in -Maryland to be had at from one -third to one-fifth of their actual value. Now is the time for those in the cities who desire a change of occupation to get ba.k to the old (farmhouse, where they will enjoy quiet and rest from the exciting conflicts of citv life." , I'nquestionalViV the movement from the country to the city has bern overdone. Our periods of hard times will not 'be without compensation if they cause a revival of the old-time preference for the independence and wholesome mode of life of the farmer. A farm may not now be a' means of getting rich fast, but it insures a living if carefully looked after, and as an investment it compares favorably Jest now with some other kinds of property. The experience of the last year or two with railroad stocks and bonds has convinced many persons that, after all. there is something very "solid" about land and houses. Ualtimore Sua
