The republicans of Ohio, laboring under
the delusion that Governor Aliens great
age was the cause Of his success two years
ago, have sagely concluded to pit against
him the oldest politician they can find. 1t
looks as IL Ben Wade would be the man of
their choice. The rumors in regard to his

OF folly peculiar to the American politician

1t is TO DO feared that he il, after all, too in
experienced a youth to succeed. The letter is
addressed to very dear friend named Bar
rstt, but aimed at the people of Ohio. 1t is
a curious document. Old Ben denies that
be Is candidate for the nomination of the
party for the governship, and then proceeds
to give the reasons which make him
hesitate to enter tire field. In the first place
he has lamentsble conviction that he
hasn't got the requisite amount of voice for
the contest. "For two years past" he says
"my voice has been so used up that have
not been able to make q speech, and IL IS
wore now than ever" This il, indet d, a
sad state of sgsirs, and it is peculiarly dis
heartening when we consider that the dem
ocrstic candidate is hale old man, with
voice like the sound OF trumpet, or as
bis enemies say like the blast of fog horn.
s ill. it is not easy to see how Ben Wade's
lack OF voice can in any way influence his
conduct il his second reason for declining
the nomination be q valid one. He has
taken an oath. In other words, he is,
ike a psladin O. the middle ages, under
a VOW. al early took solemn oath, % he ex-
claims, "that 1 would never stump the

The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1875-04-15

An article in 9 morning paper OF This city
n few days ago reflected severely upon the
legislature because it omitted TO provide for
the taxation OF capital stock of foreign cor
porxtions doing business in this state. To
say the least oft, the subject is one Of great
deIicacy and difficulty. That capital stock
of corporations should contribute like other
property towards the public expense OF lis
protection, Is plain and reasonable propos-
ition. Yet there ere difficulties OF a
serious nature in the way of pTactic-
ally applying this doctrine even to
home corporations deriving their origin
and holding their existence within The
state. Capital stock is an Intangible estate,
and to determine or approximate its true
value for assessment is next to an impossi-
bility. Although its basis is upon cash
paid In, that is no guide TO the value Of
shares. The shares issued and claiming
representation in the earnings may not
have been sold at all. those taken may have
been paid for only in part. Again, the
value Of the shares IL wholly dependent
on various conditions, the nature Of the
business, rs legitimate profits, its per
manency and uniformity, the management
of the corporation, whether the stock is on
the speculative market or not, and If it Is,
the way in which that market regards ii.
Capital stock has no true representative OF
it's value save in the opinions OF men, or the
state OF the market. 1t is easy, therefore,
to see how delicate matter it is to attempt
Its taxation in accordance with justice, and
no unjust assessment can be defended. To
assess shares at par which are worth not
more than twenty-five dollars on the
hundred would be a. egregious a mistake as
TO assess only st par stock VIGOROUSLY
worth three times its face These troubles
lie at the Threshold of the undertaking to
tax this Intangible and incoDstant estate OF
corporations at home. They aregTeatly sg-
gravsted when it is proposed to lay under
tribute the capital stock Of companies with
which we have nothing to do, except as
some portions of their operations extend
into and are carried on within the state
But it is not necessary to cirque
the question. The wondrous wis
dom of Illinois was quoted as an example
of this acuteness and holiness in graphing
with a questionable undertaking. The
United States District Court has settled that
matter by deciding that the Illinois law can
not be enforced. The alleged delinquency
OF Indiana statutes thus becomes simple dis
cretiop, and her law is such as will stand
the ordeal of the courts.

Another attempt is being made by the
citizens of New York to recover between six
aud seven million dollars from theTammaDy
thieves. They are acting upon the principle
that the send justifies the means" Inger-
sell, one of the principal participants in
these most gigantic populations, has been
psrdoDed by Governor TildeD, with the
understanding that ne shall turn states
evidence against his secomplices. When
this turn OF affairs had been communicated
TO the friends of the exiled Tammanytes.
there was telegrapbing to and fro, and even
Tweed trembled in his striped suit at Black
we'll Island. Orders for attachment have
been sued and placed in the hands of the
sheriff, for service on the property OF Tweed.
and it is thCugh5 that the Boss will
have to DISCO ga his ill-gotien gsins.
Though the rest of the thieves
are ia foreign lands, and are
not accessible in person, their
property can be attached, and alter publica-
ton. sold to satisfy any Judgment that may
be taken against them by default. in the
event OF their pon-oppearance. This is the
way the democrats punish the thieves who
steal to their discredit and under cover of
their good mama. Tire chief conspirator has
been imprisoned, and his associates driven in
disgrace into exile. A democratic legisia
tuFe. after all the criminal pro-
csssas of justice have been ex-
hausted. has passed n law with the
especial purpose Of prosecuting the delir-
quents In civil suits, and democratic
governor has pardoned from prison
one the pIunderers, that his evil
dence may be secured to convict the
rest or recover the plumber they hold, or
accomplish both objects, II possible. All
this is strongly in contrast vita the ccurse
OF the republicans. who not only defend
their psrtisans when detected piliering the
public treasury, but persecute ell who ct
temrt 10 arrest them IN their criminal course
The career of the Tammany ring has been
heretofore one of the standing reproaches OF
the democratic party, but it is probable that
the punishment of the members OF that ring
will become one of the crowning giories OF
the organization and prove IFS claim TO the
public confidence In this era OF corruption.

The Directors OF the southern Prison

The Directors OF the Southern Prison.
If there were any lingering doubts In the
public mind as to the rascality of the man
sgement of the Southern Prison, the pratt
cal attempt which the warden and his
friends have just made TO capture the con-
troll of the board of directors would certainly
dsslpats them. At the meeting of directors
held on Tuesday, the two republican mem
bers of the board persisted in main
tanning their places, and thus con-
trolling for the next two years the prison
which they and their subordinate, Mr..
Shuler, have been accused of managing so
fraudulentlY. L: Is hard to explain such an
impudent procedure on any other theory
than the supposition that there is rascality
in the past TO conceal, or opportunity sought
tor robbery in the future. These are harsh
words, but the Sentinel uses them coolly
ard deliberately, and submits the following
IS showing that its language
fails to do full justics TO the peculiar action
of the gentlemen in question. The board
of director of the Southern Prison consists of
three members, each, after the three first ap-
pointed, holding Office for four years, except
when appointed to fill a vacancy for an I'M
expired term. The three first chosen were
to hold for terms of one, two and three
years respectively, thus securing the board
against sudden changes. 1t happened that
the republican legislature of two years
sgo had two directors to elect, one to Fill the
unexpired term of General Sparks and the
other tor full term. Messrs. Munson and
Hill were elected in joint session; but very
curIously the journals of the Senate and the
House differed as to which one of them was
chosen for the partial term of two years, and
which one for the full term of four years
The Senate journsI shows that Munson wss
elected for four years. and the House
Journal shows that Bill was elected
for four years. To make confusion
worse COMPOUNDED Gov. Baker commissioned
b, th OF them for four years, which, according
to well stttled aud generally conceded prin-
ciples, he had no right 10 do, and one Of
them therefore held commission only valid
Tor 40 years. Upon the late democratic
legislature devolved the duty of filing this
uncertain vacancy and electing a successor >
Kirk, the third member of the hoard.
Mr.. Keigyin was duly chosen
in Kinks place in joint ses-
sion, and there is no dispute as to the
validity of mis- election. 1t was also con-
ceded that there WAS another vacancy, but
the House journal of the previ rus legisla-
ture showed that Munson was the outgoing
director, while the Senate journal showed
that Hill was the outgoing director. The
Senate, being republican body, could mot
offer any solution of The difficulty, and the
House, being democratic body,

nal, in the face of the official declaration OF

the teeiA OF its own encomiums, can now
come forward and deny to ex-Auditor
Shoemaker any credi, for the assessment
act OF 1928, and take Gov. Hendricks
to task merely for saying: "The leg
islature of 1S72-3 is entitled TO the
credit Of q valuable assessment and
tax law, which was prepared by Mr.. Shoe
maker before he Left the Office OF auditor of
state" Could any honest man say less than
this in behalf of the author of the assessment
law when touching upon the subject at all?
Would the governor have been justified in
ignoring the services of a political friend in
praise of whom his enemies had spoken so
freely?
The Sentinel has nothing to add to this
exposure of the reckless mendacity OF the
Journal. This paper takes no pleasure in
rehashing its old articles. and serving them
up cold TO the public. The Inconsistencies
of the Journal are becoming perplexing.
It's editorial page is like piece of old mo-
sale work, or rather like patchwork quilt,
made up of divers colored rags put together
in curious and homogeneous patterns.
