Read the views of that eulighted ex-confederate soldier, John 4. Wise, upon the comparative merits of the Republican and Democratic parties,! as expressed in the address printed this week, in one of our inside pages. The Democratic House of Representatives was ready enough to, pension the widow of General Hancock, and equally ready to refuse to pension the widow of General Logan. But General Hancock was a Democrat and General Logan was a Republican, which is simply the why of the wherefore of it, and the “Lord's truth about the whole business.” There is no party nor faction in this country so utterly lawless and unpatriotic, so cursed with reckless and desperado leadership, so lacking in intelligence, civilization, public spirit and decency as the Democrats of Indiana. It is well that they should show themselves entirely unfit for the management i f public affairs, that the judgment against them may'be more conclusive and rigorous,— Minneapoiis Tribune. There are no greater enemies of of the cause of temperance reform than the .’wandering and irresponsible blow-hards'who go-übout the country getting themselves announced from the churches as temperance lecturers, and then pouring out an endless tirade of indiscriminate abuse and falsehood upon every political organization except the Prohibition paity. .. A political -prohibition spouter, who played the old dodge of getting his performance announced in the churches as a “temperance lecture”, harangued' in the court house Tuesday evening. His audience was fairly large to start with, but he soon thinned them out. By-the-way this practice of getting a political meetingann eed a as “temperance meeting” is a contemptible trick, and ought to *•<? sat down on, hard. The Republicans in the State Legislature, fulfilled the pledges of their party, and passed through • Uie lower house, where they had a majority, a practical and moderate fcjMaperance Rill, which covered the local option and high license pi in qiples, to which the party wire ? >mmitted by the state platform. ’£he bill was passed early enough t« the session to reach .the. Senate before the dead-lpel: between the t«ro houses occurred, and that body ample time to consider the bill and might haye made it a law,

had they bo desired; bat the democratic majority there never even ll permitted it to come to a vote. Neither did the Senate pass any temp, ranee bill, ombodying the principles declared in tlio democratic platform, although Ureen Smith deliberately attempt'tl to falsify the record, to make it appear that the Senate had passed a temperance- bill, p . ■

Congressman Owen's Good Record.

I.iigfiii“jxirt Journal ~ Hon. W. D. Owen arrived at home, Tuesday afternoon, and was busy Wednesday shaking hands with everybody. He looks well, anti says he passed through the recent session of Corigrcs very pleasantly. There was considerable work in his Committee ou Public Gi’diiiulm ami Buildings, including, notably, the Dearborn Park matter at Chicago, but most of it went down under (liedespotic decree of autocrats Randalland Holuntn. Mr., Owen has made an unusually excellent first-term record in the recent Congress, and will have opportunities in the next Congress to get well up in the front, which will enable him to render even more efficient service. He has caught on to the methods of success as a Representative in Congress and lias it in him to make a .reputation for himself, and a standing for his district, that will ‘ be_ creditable to him, and most gratifying to his constituents.

The Republican Case.

T’he following statement of dates and facts connccUd with the Democratic usurpation will be found useful. Ou Nov. 2, 1886, a vacancy existed in tho office of Lieutenant governor of the state, according to tho opinion of the Demt'cratic Attorney-general, and ihe general acquiescence of the people, and in a general election held on that day to All the office, Robert S. Robertson received 231,922 votes, and John G, Nelson 228.603 votes, giving tho former a legal majority of 3,319 votes. Ou Jan. 10, 1887, in obedience to the Constitution, the Speaker of the House published and declared the said vote 3 in the presence of members of both houses of the General Assembly, and Robert S Robertson took the oath of office and was duly installed as Lieu-tenant-governor. Section 21 ot Article sos the Constitution declares that “the Lieutenantgovernor sliuli, by virtua of his office, be President of the Senate.” Senator Green Smith, assuming to act as Lieutenant-governor by virtue ot an election as temporary pre-idiug officer of the Senate, obtained from the Marion County Civil Circuit Court a writ of injunction against Robertson, whereby the latter was enjoined trom attempting to preside over the Senate a- provided by the Constitution. Tne Supreme Court, reviewing the case, declared the irjunction mill ;:nd void, and that Smith’s claim, which was in reality a contest lor the Lieu-Jtenant-governqrship, could only fe maintained before the General Assembly in the manner and ferm prescribed By law. Tho law provides :3ee. 4744 R. S.T that any person may, within twentydays after the first-day of a session of the -Legislature following a general election, give notice to the Speaker of the house of a proposed oontest for any State office. No sueh notice of contest for the office of Lieutenant-governor was ever filed w;ith the Speaker, wherefore Robertson s title to the office was not contested according to law. The people, to say the least, had given him a prima facie title to the office. On the 23d of February, 1887, the Senate declined to receive an official notification of the decision of the Supreme Court above referred to. On tha 24tli of February the Lieuten-ant-governor attempted, in an orderly manner,, to take lawful and peaceable | possession, of the chair of the Senate, in ohedien e to tlie Constitution, but was surround d, sei jeJ, burled down the -steps of the platform, and vio'entlyejected from the Senate chamber by ! the Dour keeper, acting under the dirert and personal orders of Green , Smith, and aided and abetted by the • Democratic Senators, Under these, circumstances the House of Representatives declined to have ar y official’ communication with the Senate until the Ideutenant-goye’raor was admitied so the peaceable discharge of his constitutional duties as President of the Senate. TrYk The Senate refused to permit the 1 Lieutenant-governor to preside or even j enter the chamber, forcibly excluding [him day after day, and maintained its j illegal and unconstitutional attitude, With Green Smith in the. chair, until! the end of the session -Indianapolis ] JoornaL - •* :/ —j

The Insane Hospital Infamies.

In regard to the quality j of sup. lies the the following testimony | was given b> Dr. W. 11. l'T.oLeber, the I superintendent: | 1 . . * .. . . ——■■■———- : - Q —\\ hat can you say of the supplies delivered?. A— They were usually an undergrade iof dry goods, produce, groceries ami j j hoots and shoes. 1 Q— Has that extended over 1 tlio four years \o:i h.nv BUM there? A—Nearly all the time. The butter, with rare exception, has been all the time of an inferior gra :e. It would not be thrown out of market by a board of health officer, but it would he ranked as second or third-class butter. Q—-What about the price paid for it? A—ln dn'y or August, 1883. it was bought very low- 8, 9 or ten conts a pound -but after that lime the price has ranged between 18 and 2G cents. Q—Has this high-priced butter been any better than the low priced* A—No, sir. Three times we have had butter that would have been rejected by a health officer, I once saw maggots in the butter. I was told of another time, but did not see them. The flour in the last year has been better. Previous to the last year we had a great deal of very low grade flour. The baker called my attention to it. It was sour and musty. In the sewing rooms attention was called to the dress goods as old, faded or shop-worn, or not up to sample. Tbs witness.said that he had frequently said to the storekeeper that things should be sent baqk. but they were not sent back. The matron of the sewing room had condemned goods as unfit for the wearing apparal of the patients. The witness was asked why he did not remove Mr. Hall. He said he would have done so it he could. Mr. Hall was drunk a few times. Bad he removed nim it would have, created- an an unpleasant, feeling with the trustees, and Hall, and she rest of them. Besides, Hall had plenty of assistants to do his work in the most efficient manner, To keep him in the place nominally made little difterance, as there were plenty of persons to do his work. Several c.i>-e8 of brutality towards the patients by attendauds were testified to by gx-patiouts. in one ease a patient was strnck on the breast and face by one Boyd; tue offense was lying on a lounge., .Another wins of an attendants beating.and pushing a patient for sitting down W’hile the others were walking. Tho next clay he was made to march, though crippled, and in a. few days mere was sent home dead, Alias Sarah S-oekton, t-e physician of wards 1,2, 3, 4. 5, 6 and 13 in the female department testified regarding the maggoty linter, and the general condition of the food furnished her paL tienls, to which she strenuously objected. She told the story of the escape of Mrs. Eliza Dallas, in September 1884, who has not since boon heard from. Her escape was the result of negligence on. the part of the attendants. l>r. 11 etcher's testimony Bbows that tue purchase of unwholesome food and the employing of incompetent and brutal attendants was dde to party cqpsiderations. The trade in provisions and the positions were too often given to favorites and those who interested themselves most actively in the success of the party in control

Of all the grand novelists of the world the name of Walter Scott towers mountain high above all others. His inimitable and incomparable works, his uovels historical, novels fictional, and novels personal contain such a grand variety of characters of all kinds and grades of life, so high as kings, so low as medicauts; so rich as Croesus, so poor as -Lazarus; so good as Jennie Deans, so mean as Madge Wildfire; so jovial as Watnber, so morose as the Black Dwarf; so lordly as the Normans, so menial as Gurh—so rich and full of fine delineation of human character, picturesque scenery, Scottish legends, that his works are hot only read by the English and Scotch, but by every civilized nation, and appreciated above all others. The characters for the entertainment the High School intends to give will all be selected from 'this great novelist’s works, and the costumes will be as nearly like the originals as they can be made, "Aiictln cSnia&ctiou withTtliis hovel” entertainment a graud, gorgeous/ bounteous supper will be given.
