Local option and prohibition are, in nrincinle. the same. The former is

simply prohibition by retail. It contemplates the exercise by the majority of the power to dictate to the minority in matters of personal right. The Democratic theory of government is certainly in conflict with this policy. Democrats bolieve in the largest measure of individual liberty consistent with social order and the public security. They do not believe that the State should

usurp the functions or private conscience. It is for this reason, and not because of special regard for the inter

ests of those engaged in the liquor

traffic, that Democrats oppose such

schemes as local option and State pro

hibition The Democratic party recog

nises the evils that flow from the abuse

of liquor, and is in favor of all measures

which will tend to restrain those evils

without violating sound principles of

government. A rigid license system,

with strict regulation of the liquor traffic, is properly within the sphere of the police power of the State; Such a

system is in operation all oyer Europe and America. The Democratic, party

,of Indiana approves it Sentinel,

Befering to tb.e work of the Ohio Republicans the Tribune, as becomes an organ, joyfully remarks: "The platform matches the candidate." It certainly does. A platform which demands a

pension for everybody and protection

for everybody, which glorifies Patrick

.Egan for the sake ox a few Irish votes

and which provides taffy for John Sher

man, is certainly a match for Foraker. The hist clause especially matches Foraker for the reason that he was guilty

of the grossest treachery to Sherman in

the last Chicago convention, and every

Although there is no limit to the richness and productiveness of the western farms, the owners barely make enough to pay, taxes and interest on their mortgages.

appeared in yesterday s issue of that

purpose of which it is impossible to more than guess at. If the Journal

means that these strikes occurred under low tariffs, and that, therefore, the tariffs cause strikes, the facts are dead

against it. Some of the strikes i t speaks

others under the higher tariff of 1814,

is safe to say, did net equal the great

labor strikes of 1877-8, occurring under the highest tariff the country has ever known, and after such tarifl had been in force nearly a score of years. It is

HARRISON DENOUNCED

By People Witt Some Respect For De

cency--Wheel Horses Who Have Bet n Ignored.

"It's very seldom nowadays that a Re

publican Hoosier is heard to express

any great amount of "State pride" in the administration. On the contrary, a very goodly portion of the Republican

party of Indiana is engaged in heaping

anathemas upon the devoted head of

President Harrison and the "Slick Six,"

wmcn is dictating nis course witn regard to Indiana appointments. Three

or four different sections of the party

are engaged in this work of denuncia

tion, and each is actuated by an entirely

different motive from that which fur

nishes the inspiration to curses on the

part of all the others.

On the part of the respectable element of the party there is a feeling of

disgust at the manner of men thus far selected to represent the government in

these parts. The open and shameless

violations of the law by Postmaster

Wallace has caused them to lose - all faith in the honesty of the president's

assertions that he means to live np to

his civil service pledges, while the character, or rather total lack of it, of

many of the appointees of Mr. Wallace

has shocked every sense of decency.

THE FABMKfi'S .PBOBIRW. ,

" ' - The difference between a comfortable prosperity and' a slowly grinding impoverishment for the farmer may be rnade by the simple fact that he necessarilysells his products in competition with all the world and at the lowest prices' that competition can ' procure, while the cost of nearly everything that he must buy is enhanced by a system of indirect taxation, the greater' part of which is intended to strangle competition and increase the profits of favored nterestsv When the farmer has worked out this simple problem he will find that the relief he most needs is in bis own hands and that the taxation from which he suffers most is that which he has been blindly helping to fasten upon himsel ; ; '

W0BKTK6S Or . 1KB COAL TABlFF. ! Chicago Herald: ? a time of regular seasons, of succeeding harvests, of copious rains, of gentle winds, of general health without national ills the farmer of Dakota or Nebraska has suffered because his ipply of fuel was inadequate, and the xiard working miner starves because he . can get no bread. First hand foremost,

therefore, we have the stupendous crime of governmental intervention in the ordinary business affairs of private citizens. It has turned' out that the government, in 1888, collected 75 cents a ton on about $3,000,000 of foreign imported soft coal, while theiUinois miner, if-we reckon all the robberies of his employer, received not over 5 cents: a ton for digging screened fuel. Protected against the. better soft coal of Nova Scotia, the American capitalist has proceeded to fry the fat out of our people; As more capitalists have scented the gain in that form of business, the domestic competition has lacreased,and'

The Patterson, Woods, Bagby, Hamlin,

Moore and McFarland appointments

are a stench in the public nostrils, and

the respectable Republicans are heart

ily ashamed of them.

Another section of the party, equally disgusted and loud spoken, is composed

of the party 'wheel-horses" throughout

the State, who have borne the heat of

the battle and, quite naturally, being

fully aware of the spoils doctrine by

which the Republican party is guided,

expect some of the rewards of the the victory. These are vociferous, not

because enough appointments have not

come to Indiana, but because they have been distributed solely among the relatives and intimates of President Harri

son and the Slick Six, instead of being given to the hard working and worthy

members of the party throughout the

State. Thev sav that Harrison has

been wholly selfish in his distribution

of offices, and that they been given out with the sole end in view of aiding Ben Harrison personally in a political sense, without regard to the welfare of the party of the State as a whole. Here in Indianapolis the feeling on this point is pretty strong, but it isn't a comparison to the indignation felt by the workers in other parts of the State. The disappointed in Indianapolis are numerous but they are but a handful compared with the army of disgruntled elsewhere. Down in the "pocket" this resentment to the President's course amounts to open revolt. The Republican workers are boldly declaring that the President's course is going to ruin the party, and that he is endeavoring to convert it into a Harrison machine and nothing more. In that section particular objection is made on the ground that Marion county iB getting altogether more than its share of the patronage. The Evansville Journal, a strong Harrison paper, has kicked clear over the traces, and is vigorously lashing the grandson for his neglect of just party demands. It says: .'Of all the self-sacrificing and hardworking Republicans down here men who have fought for thirty years and more in the forlorn hope not one has

been appointed under President Harri

son to any other than a local office. There have been offices galore to give out, but they have gone mainly to Indianapolis the city which stands as the prototype of 'the great American hog that we have all heard so much about. The administration seems to know little else than Indianapolis. Let us review the spoils that that city has thus far gathered in. 1. President Harrison. 2. Atty. Gen. Miller. : 3. Private Secy. Hal ford. .4. A. G. Porter, Minister to Italy. 5. His son, Private Secretary. 6. John G. Ne w, Consul-General to London. 7. Romeo Johnson, his Secretary. 8. W. H.

Point and Special Envoy to Hay ti. 10. "Judge" Scott, the President's brother-in-law, who has a soft snap somewhere out West. 11. Ban Bausdell. Marshal of the

District of Columbia.

12. Either Judge Woods or W. H. H. Miller, Judge of the IT. S. Supreme Court, as is well understood. 13. Dnnlap, Marshal of the F. S. courts, with a nominal residence at Franklin, twenty miles south, but really an Indianapolis man.. 14; Harry McFarland, a questionable character, transferred to a paying position at Washington. 15. A dozen or so Marion county

men as mail agents, Government clerks, etc

"This is all that occurs to the writer

at present, but it is not likely to be the

last of this favoritism. The greed of the politicians of that locality is illimitable

Already, premonitions are felt. Party workers are dissatisfied over the favoritism already displayed. It is indeed fortunate that there is no general election this year." Still another intensely dissatisfied section of the g. o. p. is made up of the colored, race the race without whose practically solid vote throughout the Country it would have been utterly impossible to elect Harrison, and without whose vote Indiana would have

been lost to the republicans by 10.000

majority. This section of this party is even madder, if possible, than any other, for it has been more grossly and willfully deceived and neglected. The Bepublicans have always promised all things to the negroes, but have given nothing Even after the election and

his own appointment ir'ostmaster Wallace assured the colored people that

they would be given their share of the appointments in the postomce. This

promise has been kept in this wise:

Two colored men were given positions as spittoon cleaners, and Ben.Baebv, a

negro who was found guilty of seduc

tion, was appointed to the postal mail

service. ' This is the extent of the "recognition' thus far , given to the negroes of Indianapolis. Indianapolis

OUR HOUSE ON THE HILL

KILLED THE MAS-EATER,

Details of a Ghastly Indian Tragedy

Devoured Alive. Calcutta cor. London Times.

The notorious. Jounsar man-eating tigress has at last been killed hy a young forest officer. This tigress haB been the

scourge of the neighborhood of Ohakrata

for the last ten years, and her victims have been innumerable. On one occasion she seised one out of a number

of foresters who were sleeping together

in a hut, carried him off and deliberately made him over to the cubs to play with.

while she protected their innocent

gambols from being; disturbed. His

companions were eventually forced to take refuge in a tree from her severe attacks. Here they witnessed the following ghastly tragedy; The tigress went back and stood over the prostrate form of her victim and purred in a catlike And self-complacent way to her cubs, who

were romping about ana rolling over

the apparently lifeless body. She then lay down a few yards off, and with blinking eyes watched the gambols of her young progeny. In a few moments the man sat up and tried to beat the young brutes off. They were too young to hold him down, so he made a desperate attempt to shake himself free, and started off at a run; but before he had gone twenty yards the tigress bounded out and brought him back to her cubs. Once more the doomed wretch had to defend himself over and over again from their playful at tacks. He made renewed attempts to regain his freedom, but was seized by the old tigress and brought back each time before he had gone many yards.

His cries and groans for help were

heartrending; but the men on the tree

were paralyzed with fear and quite un

able to move. At last the tigress her

self joined in the gambols of her cubs,

and the wretched man was thrown

about and tossed over her head exactly as many of us have seen our domestic

cat throw rats and mice about before be

ginning to feed on them. The man's efforts at escape grew feebler. For the

last time they saw him try to get away

on his hands and kneed toward a large

fig tree, with the cubs clinging to his

limbs. This final attempt was as futile

as the rest. The tigress brought him

back once again, and then held him

down under her fore-pa ws and deliber

ately began her living meal before their eyes.

It was this formidable beast that the

young Uooper's Mill officer and a student attacked on foot. They were

working up her trail, fifteen yards apart,

when suddenly Mr. Ormaston heard his

younger companion groan, ana turning

around saw him borne to the ground by the tigress. Mr. Ormaston foitunately

succeeded in shooting her through the spine, and a second ball stopped

her in mid-spring. Meanwhile his com

panion rolled ever the hill, and was eventually discovered insensible, a few feet away from his terrible assailant.

He is terribly mauled, and now lies at

the Ohakrata Station Hospital, where

hopes of Ms recovery are entertained.

Teeth of Children. A physician remarked to me, the other

day, that he did not suppose that 1 per

cent of the deatistry is being done that should be. He attributed the cause to ignorance and wondered if in time the press would not be used as a means of educating the public to the importance of dentistry. One source of a great deal of suffering among children of parents

wnp desire to save tne teetn oi tne rising generation is the ignorance regarding the cutting of the seeon d or permanent set. The first teeth of the permanent set to erupt are the fiist, or 6-year molars, which take their places back of the last molars of the first, or milk set. These teeth are more subject to decay than any others, and they are also very important, as they do the principal part of the mastication between the 6th and 12th years. Parents frequency mistake these teeth for members, of ihe milk set,

hence neglect them, thinking that when they are lost new ones will take their places. ; Another source of suffering is the neglect of the milk set, . These teeth should be filled and retained in the mouth intil the second . set is ready to take their places. Toothache can he avoided by proper attention. There are some curious men on the legal bench in this country. A Connecticut court fines a man. $5. for lying in wait to kill hiB wife and stabbing her, and an Ohio court calls it assault and battery when four bullets are- fired into a farmer and he is robbed of his wallet

Here is a bottle of medicine that is a

cure-all. The disciples were sad and

Christ offered heaven as an alterative, a stimulant and a tonic. He shows them that their sorrows are only a dark background of a. height picture of coming felicity. He lets them know that though now they live on the lowlands they shall yet have s. house on the uplands. Nearly all the descriptions oi heaven may be figurative. I am not positive that in all heaven, there is a literal crown or harp or nearly sate or throne or chariot. They may be only used to illustrate the glories of the place, but how well thev do V. The favorite symbol by which the Bible presents celestial -happiness is a house. Paul, who never owned a house, although he hired one for two years in Italy, speaks oi: heaven as a "house not made with hands," and Christ in our text, the translation of which is a little changed so as to give the mOie accurate meaning, says; "In my Father's house are many rooms. This is divinely authorized comparison of heaven m a great homestead of large accommodations I propose to carry out. Iu some healthy neighborhood a man builds a very commodious habita

But time gfcfes still further by and some of the children are unfortunate and return to the old homestead to live, and the grandchildren come with them, and perhaps great-grandchildren, and again the houae is full. Many millennia ago God built on the hills of heaven a great homestead for a family innumerable yet to be. At first he lived alone i n that great house, but after a while it was occupied by a very large family, cherubic, seraphicaugalic. The eternities passed on and ..many-of the inhabitants became waj'ward and left never to return. And many of the apartments were vacated.... I refer to

An ingenious statistician taking the

ioys and sorrows and experiences of all

styles are. there rehearsed. Sacred room

in all our dwellings! Whether , it be

luxurious with ottomans and divans and books in Russian lidjs standing in

the aged remain aeed there? Oh, no;

every thing is perfect there. The child

will go ahead to glorified maturity and

the aged wiil go back to glorified ma

earth, we would consider it a domestic disaster if thev etaved children, and

so we reioiced at their, growth here.

And when we meet, in the familv loom of our Father's house we

will be glad that they have grandly and

gloriously matured, while our parents,

who were aged ana innrm nere, we shall be glad to find restored to the most agile and vigorous immortality there. If fortv or fortv-five or fifty years .be the

would rather stay than in the enraptured

circle of your ascended and glorified kinsfolk. We might visit other rooms

in our Father's house. There may be picture galleries penciled, :aot by earthly art. but by some process unknown in

SULLIVAN WHIPS KILRAIN SEVENTY-FIVE ROUNDS.

KUrain's Uroppiug Tactics Prolong the Cod test Sullivan Brutally Jumps on Him While Down-Neither Comoatant Sbvetly Punislied First Blood Cor Kilrain Firt Knock lown for Sullivan. The great prize fight between John L. Sullivan, of Boston, and Jake Kilrain, of Baltimore, for $10,000 each side and the championship of the world occurred at Bichburg, Miss., July 8. Kilrain was fairly, squarely and honestly whipped in a contest in which the beaten man has no cause to be ashamed of himself. There is no manner of doubt that Jake Kilrain is a game man and a good fighter, and the men who saw him fight Monday will put up their money on him the next time he enters the ring against any living man, except Sullivan. The ring was pitched at Kichburg in a clear

ing on the edge of a pine forest near the little village. The ring was pitched on a patch of green turf, and surround-

5 it. nn three sides were tiers of

seats ten feet high, put up by an enter

. . - 4 . sional men, merchants, bankerssome from Kew Orleans, others from neighboring States were present to a preponderating degree. Many of the spectators came from points as far distant as San Francisco in the West and New York and Boston in the East, but these were mostly of the sporting variety book makers, gamblers and professional pugilists. Kilrain was the first of the gladiators to put in an appearance.' He was accompanied . by Charley Mitchell. They were both received with applause and cheers, in acknowledgment of which Mitchell tipped his Derby. Kilrain's appearance dismayed his backers. He was unshaven and looked haggard, worn and weak. In short he looked Beared. He was white under the gills and behaved like a man being led to execution. He was not stripped, but wore a thin shirt and striped pants. He afterwards disrobed in the rine. Soon after Sullivan came, accompanied by the ever vigilant Muldoon. Sullivan wore along ulster, or "sweater," as it iB called, extending from bis neck almost to his ankles. His appearance was the signal for a tornado of applause and cheers, a demonstration not without its depressing effect in the Kilrain corner. Both principals were led to seats in corners diagonally opposite each other, and were surrounded by friends, bottle holders, seconds, backers and a miscellaneous throng of partisans. The fanning process seemed to have an invigoring effect on Kilrain, and he began to brighten under its influence, Sullivan looked flushed, but not particularly buoyant. 13 He also submitted to being fanned with patient meekness, and seemed to realize that his destiny hung upon the issue of the contest. There was great excitement at the ring sine as Bud Kenaud, Mike Donovan and Johnnie Murphy made their appearance, which they did at 9:50 a, m., and the excitement among the crowd was increased when it became apparent that the fight was actually to occur, On the toss-up for positions K ilrain's representative, Mike Donovan, won, and he selected the northeast corner. Muldoon, Sullivan's representative, choosing the southwest corner. At this juncture the sheriff of the county made Mb appearance, and in the name of the State of- Mississippi commanded peace, and retired, this being the only effort on the part of the authorities to interfere with the fight. At this moment the flag of Sullivan, brought from Boston, was placed in his corner amid great enthusiasm. Abont 10 o'clock the sun went behind a cloud and there was no perceptible advantage in either corner. After preliminary parlaying John Fitapatrick, of New Orleans, suggested by the Sullivan, side, was accepted as referee. W. E. Haring then stepped up to Kilrain and placing $1,000 in his hands, told him it was sent him by Mr.tfox for him to bet with Sullivan. Kilrain at once went over to Sullivan and offered to bet him that he would win the fight. The bet was immediately taken and the money ($2,000) was deposited in the hands of the referee.

Both principals oegan to strip. Sulli

van was already arrayed for the en

counter and had simply to remove his

sweater, revealing his magnificent torso, pink with the glow of health and the perfection of condition. His chest and back looked as big as the side of a house and an involuntary buzz of admiration

circulated through the crowd when his

massive frame was displayed in its towering immensity. He wore green knee breeches, white socks and spiked shoes. The American flag encircled his waist like a sash; but did not cover the pinepitch plaster, resembling a corset, which he wore. Kilrain wore one of similar construction, but not so perfectly adjusted as Sullivan's. Kilrain was attired in black tights, blue socks and spiked shoes. When Kilrains bare form was displayed to the multitude there were audible expressions of disappointment. His skin was of a pale, sickly hue, his chest nar-

row ana tne muscies oi uib arms somewhat too salient. Shrewd observ

ers thought him a shade too fine

and it was painfully evident that e was

no match for Sullivan, either in condition or physical power. It is claimed

that he weighed 195 pounds, and tbat

his antagonist tipped the beam at 205. This was hardly credible. There was

not less than twenty-five to thirty pounds difi'erence in weight in Sullivan's

favor. At 10:10 all the parties to the

contest shook hands and then the battle began. In the first round Kilrain

clinched Sullivan, throwing him to the ground and securing first honors. In

the second Sullivan caught Kilrain

heavily in the ribs. The men then

clinched and Kilrain was thrown. In the third round Kilrain reeeived a blow

in the side which reallv decided the

contest in favor of Sullivan, for ever after that Kilrain was groggy.

Frotfi this on it was ft question of ehdur-

ance, Sullivan attemptt ng to force the

fighthag and Kilrain dosiring to wear the biff man . out by strategy. Time Sullivan wo uld insist that

"this is fight, not a running race

"I'm not a sprinter, I'm a fighter.

"Stand up md fight like a man," etc.

In the seventh round Kihain got in his work by a gcod one on Sn lli van's right ear, which brought the blood, and Kilrain was allowed ftrst blood. In the eighth Sullivan hit Kilrain ' a heayy right-handed blow in the mouth and w as allowed first knock down. The remaining innings were devoted to tho pounding of ribs, knock downs, etc., ra almost every one of which Sullivan bad .the advantage. In the 42d round KilraiO. retreating as BBual, came back .And led" at jjtfllivan, who countered; and Kilrain ran away. Kilrain fell fiom a ljght blow, Sullivan standing over n stamping on Kilrain. Kilrain'sX seconds claimed a. foul amid a scene of gtp ex" citement, which was not allowedf. In

44th round almost immediately on coming to the scratch Sullivan commenced vomiting frertly, whereupon Kilrain told him he would not hit him while vomiting. Sullivan blurted out; "Come on; I'm ready," The latter soon got in another rib-roaster, and Kilrain went down. In round 45 Kilrain landed heavily on Sullivan's neck with his left, and then retreated, Sullivan smashed him in the ribs, when he went dqwu, and while down Sullivan deliberately jumped on him with his feet. Cries of foul were heard all oyer the ring, but it was not allowed by the referee. This was a shameful act on, Sullivan's pan, and should have lost him the battle, In rounds 48 to 67 Kilrain resorted running around and dropping at eery opportunity to avoid punishment which disgusted the crowd. Sulliv and his seconds made frequent claims vpf foul, which were unheeded. In round sizty-

eight Kilrain ran around the ring. Sullivan followed him closely," hitting him in the ribs. Sullivan ieiiifcd, and Kilrain attempted to drop, when Sullivan hit him with vicious upper and on-der-cuts, knocking him down heavily. Round sixty-nine Kilrain was knocked down with a right-hander in the jaw. From this until the close of the seventy-fifth round, Kilrainjoursued his running tactics, dropping on rery attempt of Sullivan's to -administer punishment.

At the close of the seventy-fifth

round Mitchell went over to Sullivan's

corner and asked to have the fight de

cided a draw, to which Sullivan and his seconds responded: "No, no." D onovan thei stepped to the center of the

ring and threw up the sponge, amid a

scene of the wildest enthusiasm.

The earlier rounds of a prize fight are

not as revolting as is ordinarily sup

posed. Daring the entire progress o

the seventy-five rounds neither of the

combatants showed outward signs o

severe nhvsical punishment. There was

not that abundant flow of blood , from

the nose and mouth which embellishes

accounts of "scraps" between third-rate

fighters. Sullivan had his ear split.

both of his eyes bunged, his neck scratched and both hands disabled, but

evinced no outward signs of suffering.

Kiirains hp was cut, nis leic ear smashed, and his short ribs severely

pounded, but he bled to a very incon

siderable extent, and only

bruise, the size of a man's hand

showed where Sullivan's ter

rific right had repeatedly jabbed him

Later in the fight when Kilrain began

to grow weak in leg and arm, and tot

tered about a helpless victim of Sulli

van's superiority, but greatly diminished muscular force, then the specta

cle became not only revolting, but ;ipit

iable.

Sullivan seems to have profited some

by past experience. He has evidently

abandoned rashing tactics. He did not

rush to any noticeable extent, bnt when

he did his agile and wiry antagonist, be

fore he began to weaken, invariably landed on his jaw or cheek, or - some

eauallv available locality. Sullivan was

constantly on the aggressive, but there

was an absence of that furious impetuos

ity for which he has become noted. He

had learned to respect Kilrain's arm by repute, and his knowledge on that point

was greatly enhanced, Monday, by ex

perience. One thing is evident, Sullivan

is no match for Kilrain, either as a

wrestler or boxe. Give Kilrain Sulli

van's immeasureable driving power anc

expanse of chest and snouiaer and no man could stand against him. Kilrain's pluck and gameness - was a theme of admiration for those who understand

ring strategy and true endurance. x

The Baltimore man was practically

whipped in the third round, Sullivan

sot in a fierce blow on his side under

the heart, from which he never recov

ered. An ordinary man would have thrown up the sponge in the next

round. Kilrain's seconds them

selves acknowledged that . the

fiiiht was over then. but

with the indifference of a stoic and the

nluck of a hero. . Kilrain continued the

unequal struggle and ministered many

a stingine blow to his adversary, and yet, in spite of this, an indiscrimihating crowd, mistaking caution and strategy

tor cowardice " yelled at Kilrain, calling

him Vcur" and ''coward. when he

sought to avoid Sullivan's blow by dodging, or when he tried to putwind him by retreatinir before him all around the

ring. It is undeniably true that, aitmr

the ninth round, when suffering exemciatine nain from his bruise under the

heart and repeated knock-downs; Kil

rain did lav himself open to tne cnarfre

of "foul" by falling down when not ap-

oarentlv knocked down. The fouls

were repeatedly claimed, but never allowed by the referee. .," But all this and more was made up and over-balanced in the thirty-second round, when Sullivan, after knocking Kilrain ; down, . deliberately and unequivocally fouled the latter tyy jumping upon his fallen antagonist with both knees when he lay prostrate: before him. It was as unmanly an act as w&s ever done in, the ring and should have resulted in an award of the fight to Kilrain. Any fair-minded referee, witb flie, courage of his convictions, and knowledge' of his duty would not have hesitated an inBtant. But the "foul" was not allowed and the halfwhipped man, jeered and hooted by the crowd continued to come up smiling every time, although

the certainty or more fearful punish

ment to come stared him m ;th face.; Even after the final round. Kilrain was

ready to again come to the scratch, but Mb seconds, fearing direful resulfci, threw un the sponge, despite' his pro

tests. . It has since transpired that Kilrain's seconds buoyed him up throughout the fight, by picturing to him the effect of defeat, upon his wife and children. It was not deemed strange, then, that
