disgraceful order are back in their places already, and the men who made charge against them ia tha cowardly shelter of the dark poatotfice archives are oat in the cold again. There is one man who is not ecstatically happy, and that ia Corporal Tanner.

As ia the matter of quashing indictments, the door was opened for the escape of numerous offenders. It Is said that most of the persons indicted wera republicans.
If they bad been democrats, ana it, m s
matter of fact, a fatal formal tferect had been discovered in the indictments, is it
likely, after the discovery of the fact, the work of ouashltiflr indictments and dis
charging the indicted parties would have gone on lo the number of near 160, ia
some cases allowing offenders wno live out of this state to depart? Is it not more likely that the work of quashing would have stopped and the indicted partiea been permitted or required to stand on their recognizances until after
the grand jury might be called baok to
correct the indictments? This ia proper
practice and often done. Iu state courts
ithas not been usual, when indictments
are quashed for formal defects, to dis
charge the accused. Am l wrong ia
this? Criminal prosecutors, answer, la. Coy's case the grand jury was eelled back. But it is said that is this case the indictment had not been quashed. The mistake in the indictment was in describing a 'tally-sheel'-a mistake in a
matter of fact la the election casee
the mistake, if a mistake, was a mistake
in a matter of form. Therefore, lae better reason for recalling the grand jury
o correct the formal mistakes, if tne
grand jury is not recalled in these elec
tion cases it will be hard to relieve ih
parties having the power and right to recall the grand jury from an imputation that some political bias baa beea
and is yet controlling aad shaping 'ac
tion' in the cases. To say this, is no reflection on the integrity of any one, and
U not so intended. But the enect oi
uch bias is known to all. The presl-
dentia commission was composed of
great and honorable men, yet every one
in h's decision fell 'on the side or nis
party, and now, and all along, with rare exceptions, courts have divided and do divide on questions of law involving
politics; each judge according to his..
politics. And l am sorry to sey u, ina judge who does not so decide Is denounced by bis party.
If the district attorney does not ssk
that the jury be recalled, the court may do so of its own motion. During my short connection with the grand jnry it
came and went under the direction ot
the court, without regard to my wishes.
except at one time when the jury were
permitted to go, on my suggestion, out were immediately ordered back by the court, without any suggestion from me and against my wish. Tbere can be no excuse for not recalling the jury. It canuot be supposed that all those Indict
ments were found by a mixed jnry with
out evidence to support them. There
were not democrats sufficient to sad any indictment without the votes of some republican members. Let the jury be recalled and the indictments corrected, as ean be done in a few days, at little expense. Let some good republican
lawyer be appointed to assist in tne prosecution, like William P. Fisbback,
Maj. calkins, a. U. Harris, or others who might be mentioned, for the pur
pose of giving the sanction of the pres
ent administration to the prosecution, ss
the sanction of Cleveland's administration was given to the prosecution of the tally-sheet cases ; and I promise that the result will reveal to the public vision a shocking amount of crime against the
election laws which ought to aad watoa
will, under such prosecution, be pun
ished. There is as much cell for suoh
action aow as there wae in the tally-sheet cases. After making all due allowance
for political ore iudioes. he who will not
lend his support to efforts to punish such crimes against the election franchise is a
moral coward, and be who would, directly or indirectly, purposely assist suoh
offenders in escaping punishment deserves only the scorn and indignatloa ot
honorable men of all parties.''

While President Ilarrisen was reeeiv-
ing dally visits of delegations at home la Indianapolis, a little boy who lived near the Harrison residence used to fall ia line
with nearly every body and file up to
shake hands with the great man. The
presideat soon came to know him aad would pat the little fellow's head as ha looked up with great wondering eyes. He was a happy-faced child and won
the president's love and often after that awa a .
he spoke kindly to tne youngster ia meeting him at play in the evening when
out walking. One Sunday the reiiow s mother was dressing him for Sabbath
school when be looked up and said, "Mamma, 1 don't like to go to sat Sunny school."
"Why not?" asked his mother. "'Cause they don't say anyting 'bout Harrison. They's all stuck on Jesus." Sound Advice.

The kick of the farmers against tha twine trust is spreading, la Illinaie, they are holding meetiags, the ebjeet being to dispense with the ate of twiaa for one season, which they claim will "bust" the trust. The farmers are in for tt. The trust bte them by the aoee and the cheapest thing is to submit for the present, and, in the meantime, do all tbelr kickiag against a 47 per eeat. tariff tax.
