Uncle Jimmy Williams ability as a de-

good hard sense that have given him his

mistaken idea that where one party has
put a candidate in the field who has q
reputation as a debster that he must be
opposed by man equally good in that
respect. A good canvasser is not one who
can meet and vsnquish his opponent on
the stump. He may be able to do tina.
and be worsted at the polls. A good can-
yasser is one who scqusints himself with
the voters, and who will see that they get

There has been great complaint against
the reduction of the 81 preparation tor the
signal service, and no little ignorance dis
played by the critics as to the real needs of
this service for its p tactical efficiency. Ex-
rravsgsnce and corruption have permeated
almost every branch of the public service,
and the public treasury has not escaped

HendrIcks, sbeIbyyiIle speech,

The Journal of yesterday, commenting
upon an article in the Philadelphia Times
says of the alleged clause in Mr.. Hen
bricks Shelbyville speech: az make no
4. peal to men to volunteer, as 1 would
not say 60, when was not going myself"
So far as the extract from Governor Hen
dricks speech is concerned, IT is alb dilute ~
and unqnesu nably true, and the want Of
faitn in It's truth Is almost enOu2h 10 warrant
us in discr sdiung the Intelligence Of the edi-
or OF, OF tne ZINES IN me Expression is Wen
look great pride when he uttered Ii.
To which the Sentinel replies, that so
isr as the extract from Mr.. Hendricks
false-and the very construction of the
sentence proves it. This psrversion Of
what Mr.. Hendricks did say has been
fl Osting around through the Radical press
80 long that parties at a distance believe
it, but the Journal of this city knows
b5tter. In the above extract the word
make was not in the original as published,
and any one csn readily see by the con-
s,ruc.ion of toe sentence that the original
word was made and nots1Rdke. Then read
the extract in connection with what Mr..
Hendricks was saying and there is an en-
tirely different meaning In the original
than that implied in the perverted extract
as above. The circums ances were Is fol-
lows: Mr.. Hendricks had been elected to
he United States Senate. He was at
Shelbyviile, his old home. At that time
many of the soldiers having leave of alb
seDce refused TO return to the army, and
recruiting officers were srresting them.
There was talk of resistance in
some counties. In his speech, Mr.
Hendricks addressed any soldiers
who were absent from their post of duty,
and told them that il was their duty to
return at once, and not involve them
selves and their lriends in trouble. They
bad enlisted of their own will and they
must now abide by their engagements.
He, with other OF their friends, was not
responsible for the position they occupied.
" made no appeal TO men to volunteer,
as would not say go, when l was not
going myself" This is the spirit and
substance of Mr., Hendricks remarks pp-
on that subjsct, and with the correction
above, the sentence is relieved from the
perversion which shows it as spurious.
IL is we'll known that the speech of Mr..
Hendricks upon that occasion did great
good, was complimented by Republicans
as timely and proper, and from that time
there were no more arrests In
Shelby county. the soldiers volun-
tsrily returning to their duty.
We do not envy the spirit manifested by
the Journal in continuing to repeat this
old Islander, and torturipg the uttersnces
of a gentleman whose whole aim and
spirit In his remarks were in the interest
OF the government, aud conformsble to
law and order, which he accomplished in

nation an immense amount of money,
and its signals are rarely used in making
up the probabilities OF the weather on
the whole scope of country east of the
Rocky Mountains, where the general
storms arise. The appropriations of Con-
gress, somewhere near the year of 1910,
at the suggestion OF Professor Espy, from
which a system of general observations
was maintained tor some time, clearly
demonstrated the fact that the general
rains arise from the Gulf OF Mexico and
proceed nortbward, and start east from the
eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains.
Reports sent to this point from
half a dozen points West will enable
careful and experienced prognosticstor
to determine the general probability OF
the weather, as well as from fifty points.
the chief expense OF this service is In the
transportation of observers and others
connected with the stations. Changes are
FREQ lently made at distant points, and che
expense comes out of the army sppropris-
tons, and the special appropriation for
this service does not cover a moiety of the
expense. That the service is useful to the
country, to the shipping interests and the
agricultural classes there can be no doubt,
but its value need not be curtsiled by

Toe importance OF thorough and per-
fest organization of party's forces In a
political campaign can not be overesti-
mated. Its success at an election often
depends upon the ability OF its commsnder
in that respect. If he is a man who has
thoroughly informed himself about all the
details of his army and the relative
strength of the parties in the different
parts Of the field, he can surely 'oretell the
result-whether it shall be victory or de-
feat. We believe the state central COM
mittee Is doing efficient service. Now, let
its work be supplemented by thorough
organization carried on down through the
congressional districts and counties to the
townships. Candidates will find it to their
advantages to try and inform themselves
as to the present status of the voters whose
ballots will determine their tate at the
polls. We do not underestimate the value
of public spesking, but we believe candi-

This is bad ear for corruptionists to
run for Cffice- There is something in the
atmosphere Whicb is fatal to their preten-
sions. The Republicans OF Indiana nomi-
mated man for governor last spring who
is q lobbyist and jobber, and they have
been forced by public opinion to cast him
aside and nominate another men. Had be
continued a candidate, he would have
been beaten to death. This the leaders
knew; sDd hence they forced him from
the ticket. They have placed In his stead
distinguished lawyer, and a man good
personal character. 1t is not our intention
to write an eulofy of their new candidate,
neither co we propos ~ to trsduce him. We
shall speak OF him as be is so far as we
understand his character.
Gen. Harrison has nothing in common
with the people who hammer at the Jorge,
till the ground, or labor with their hands.
An sristocrst b. birth, he is one in feeling
and in sentiment. The grandson of a
president, he thinks the blood in his veins
| is OF a deeper blue than that which courses
in the veins OF the mechanic and day Ia
borer. In England he would be at home
in America, and particularly in Indiana,
he is an alien and a stranger. He is as
cold SIS an icicle, and has more brains than
feeling. His intellect has been cultivated
at the expense of his heart, and he is the
best example we know of brains run to
seed. He is an exotic In the West, and he
longs to another country and another
cline. Those who know him well will
not deny the business of these structures.
His character in these respects is so well
ests blished that it would be folly for them
to do so.
That he is an eminently respectable man
can not be gsinsayed oT denied.
This will give. him certain amount
of strength, and his main strength is in
his blue blood and his responsibility. He
will be strong with those who live on the
interest of stheir money but weak with
those who pay that interest. he will in
spire enthusiasm in the breasts OF those

to talk loudly on Sunday, and think it

those who like to take a stroll into the
country with their families on the only
day they can call their own and perchance
drink glass of beer in the woods, will
not enthuse much over his nomination.
The blue laws of Connecticut would suit
his temper and his principles, and should
he be elected governor, his whole infiu-
eDce will, be exertej In favor of stump uary
and Sunday laws. Those who favor these
measures ought to support him, but those
who believe in p rsoDal liberty, without
license, should vote for his competitor,
honest old Jimmy Williams. General
Harrison, as candidate, has both strong
and weak points, but the latter predomI-
nate. He is stronger than the man he
supplsnts, but not strong enough to be

New Albany Ledger: Last night and
the night before, number OF the members
of the Upper Fourth street Colored Baptist
Church and the intimate friends of the
pastor OF that church, held q wake at bis
residence, watching the mortal remains OF
his wife, who died Tuesday evening. The
usual ceremonies peculiar to the colored
people were held. AT midnight the COM
psny, composed of about one dozen voices,
sang those old familiar and beautiful long
meter tunes, making very solemn,
though soul-inspiring effect upon all
within hearing. The voices could be heard
full half q mile, and 30 distinctly, too, that
those familiar with sacred music could
designate the tunes. 1t would be safe to
say that one dozsn colored people can make
as much music as double that number OF
white people They seem to enter into the
spirit and sentiment of the song with all
their sJul and power, ana their rich,
strong and melodiOus voices have very
charming effect. especially at distance.
