MACK" the Washington cores
respondent of the Cincinnati Com
naercial, thinks Indiana is the most
ably represented in the United States
Senate of any State in the Union. He
says:
It may seem little strange, but it
is nevertheless true, that the little
State of Indiana, located somewhere
out West. and bounded on one side
by the Wabash, and on the other
three by nothing in particular, is far
more ably represented in the Senate
than any other State in the Union. |
mean that her two Senators have more
intellectual calibre than the two
from any other State. New York
has Conkling, but then she has
Morgan, too. The former has great
reputation, which he will, perhaps,
justify after while, though up to the
present writing he has done or said
nothing remarkably brilliant.
Morgan may be a strong man in
groceries, since he keeps store OF
that character, but he is a decided
failure In craftsmanship. Ohio has
Sherman-but, alasl she has Wade,
too And so on. IF any State has
one man who is more than the equal
of Morton or Hendricks, no State has
two men who are equal to both.

Members of the anti-war and pro-
treason wing of the Democratic party
have been very severely handled Dy

assaulted by Republican orators, be-
cause of their apparently base con-
duct during the late unpleasant

But the Hon. . Davy 2 Laird, in his
recent grafton to the Vanderburgh
Democracy unwittingly let drop
secret which. while it may bring a
modest blush of maidenly shame to
the cheeks of the anti warites, cannot
fail to excuse their otherwise unpar-
donable guilt. Speaking of the trials
and Affections through which the
Copperhead 4 wing of the party had
passed, SDavy expressed great sur
prise that she" had been able to
endure so much, and pronounced an
eloquent eulogv on : her sublime
fortitude. This tells the whole story
and clears up volumes of hitherto in
scrutable mystery. How could the
old termagant be expected to go to
war? Who could ask +" her " to fight
the very same Democrats with whom
''she " had been flirting and cavort-

perfectly natural that she " should

BITUMINoUs PAvEMENTs

BITUMINoUs PAvEMENTs. = The
Lawrence (Mass.) Sentinel says coal
tar and broken stone have been
used in that city for some, time for
sidewalks and street crossings, and it
answers the purpose so well that in a
few years 1t will be the only material
used for that purpose in the city.
Loaded trucks and other very heavy
vehicles pass over the crossings at all
seasons without ipdenting them in
the least. and they grow harder and
better as they grow older. The side
walks are always hard, smooth and
clean, and instead of being slippery,
like brick aad stone, they are as safe
to walk on as a wooden floor; and the
cost is less than that of any other
known material. They never crack,
wear, nor wash away.

the money to pay the debt, and thus

turbulence in the Political Campaign.


AT the opening of the campaign 1t looked as
though things were going to be very fiat and
stupid. 1t was hardly anticipated that the
gay scenes Of 1910 wodld bs repeated. The
campaign songs of to-day prove to be poor
and wishy-washy compared with those which
the inspiration Of hard cider and the names Of
"Iippecanoe and Tyler too" had produced.
But within the last week our eleotioneering
movements have assumed lvelier tone and
a somewhat belligerent one. In various cities
OF the North professions of politicians, intent
upon glorifying their favorite candidates, have
been attacked by showers of brickbats and
stones, levelled at them by their opponents.
Such things have occurred in Troy, Philadel-
phia, and New London within a few days to
professions of radical patriots, which is all
wrong for although such arguments as bould-
ers and brickbats convey may be forcible, they
are not logical, and do most harm to the party
using them. Can it be that the Democrats are
getting so desperate in the anticipation Of
defeat that they resort to turbulence aud
brickbats on the occasion of Republican
demonstrations We hardly think 50. They
must have sagacity enough to know that such
measures will avail but little in contest
where the free exercise of opinion, intelligence,
and the right of franchise are the controlling
influences which will decide the election. At
the same time 1t is not to be wondered at that
disturbances OF this kind should be INDUCED
in by the unthinking crowd when the leading
partisan newspapers on both sides-some
claiming to be highly respectable, philosophi-
cal, and moral, and others claiming their
title to indecency in language that fully esta-
blishes their claim-set examples of violence
and bad feeling such as have never before
been witnessed in political campaign. We
suspect, therefore, that bad example and bad
whisky combined have had good deal to do
with the late political ebulltions on the part
of turbulent folks in some of the Northern
cities.

soil, with unrivalled mineral resources, with a
population unsurpassed in industrial energy
and inventive skill, with marvellous facilities
for communication, and with an annual immi-
grafton worth to the nation $500, 000, 900, we
ought, under skilful management, to made
the greeDbaok equal to its face. But party
which defends a Commissioner of Internal
Revenue who acknowledges his Incompetence,
and under whose guidance half the revenue
cannot be collected, is unfit to achieve so desi-
rable consummation. In radical hands we
will look in vain for the establishment of
the national credit, the outstanding O. the
national resources, and the restoration Of that
fraternal feeling without which the Union is a
phantom and delusion, rather than the
grand memorial erected by our fathers for the
admiration Of mankind and the benefit Of their
posterity.
