THE RADICAL cABAI-A DILEMMA,

As hong as they can find any form of law
without putting themselves TO too much
.trOuble-to protect them in their deyiltry, the
radical leaders observe it. Ii they intend any
rascality they will still endeavor to follow
within its shadow at least But at the same
time, il it be necessary to perpetuate their
power, or 10 cover up any atrocities or extra
ordinary piece of scoundrelisnr, we solemnly
believe, after having carefully studied their
movements, that neither law, constitution
nor patriotism would deter them an instant
after they had made up their minds what TO
do As an illustration, we understand that
Grant said last week he didn't ''care a damn
SOrthe supreme court" We believe this is
the real sentiment of the party when law
Or.oourts stand IN its way. We allude to
the influential chiefs of the radical party,
and we seriously warn the people Of the
country to beware of them. They mean
-Icischief. At present they are in dilemma.
ChGryt4;s is on one side and Scylla on the
otaer There Is-o-e clear, unmistakable prop
ositSon that they are unfs>d on, or at least
nearly so, and that is TO count 1Iaves in at
ali sazards- Some think that he winrat
accept the presidency under such tainted
circumstances. We believe he will take it
under any circumstances. We base our
opiniOa upon his action at the time he re-
ceived the nomination for governor of Ohio.
He stated most positively he would not be
a candidate against Mr.. Taft He violated
his word. Let his admirers dare to disprove
it if they can. With all the charges against
Mr.. Tslden, none had so scurvy a texture as
this. Therefore we say, in view of this
uncontradicted bit of bad faith, that
the radical candidate will take the
presidency rendered him, secured by
fair means or foul. Morton Is the Catalina
of the conspiracy; he thought at one time
that perhaps sherman would stand out
against them but it seems they have tempted
him with the presidency OF the senate, and
this may possibly mean the presidency of
lthe United States. hence they have lulled
eim to sleep. Senator Christiancy. with his
&ldependent surroundings and antecdents,
Kicked little, but they have "dosed" him
xsth something also. Conkling has been
strangely retieent almost during the entire
eau paizn. with the exception of an utter
anee at Utica, and that was 50 wild, that al
though strong and pointed, yet it was like a
mosher's nursery lullaby compared with
the slid bloody shirt shrieks of Morton
and Ben Harrison, Blaine or Bob IngersoIi,
so thsflhere is a probability that he may
prove lie Cicero of the senate, outside Of
our nslse conservative leaders. To 90
back q little, we say these radical
desperadoes are in a STRATA dilemma.
Whea the ,returning board rascality was
being exposed to the eyes of the whole
world. they began to apprehend instantly
direfpl consequences the results Of the re-
turning boards would be questioned; there
fore, instantly the cue wss given: Hands
off, ALL There is no appeal from the return

THE FRANKLIN INSURANCE COM


The Insurance Critic, journal devoted to
the insurance interests of the country, in its
November number, says: The Franklin
1fire) insurance company OF indianapolis has
;.been particularly fortunate during the past
year, and is now reapingthe fruits of sound
Underwriting and conservative manage
'ment." This compliment of the Critic TO
one of the favorite institutions of our city
is we'll deserved LThe Franklin entered the
insurance field at time when there was
p1uch prejudice against Indiana insurance
companies on account of the disreputable
acts of several irresponsible concerns organ
lied in this state. These companies, by dint
of cheek aud persistency, succeeded in de
luding many persons into buying their poll
cies. and when called upon TO make good
their undertakings were unable to do 80.
Unrefecting men in this state. and
almost the entire public elsewhere.
were deluded into the belief by the
doings of these disreputable concerns that
an Indiana company was necessarily an ire
sponsible one. They forgot that the Union
insurance company and the indianapolis in
surance company, both of this city, the only
two companies ever organized here that had
any capital until the Franklin commenced
business, paid every obligation they ever in
CURED and only retired from the insurance
field when they found it Improbable to
occupy it. As before remarked, the Franklin
~0d to encounter the prejudice engendered
by the failures of the bogus Indiana copt-
panles, DutSt has overcome il, and today is
doing large ana profitable busipess.
There are many reasons why the people of
Indiana shOtfld patronize and sustain the
Franklin insurance company of this city
1t has sufficient capital to insure the pay
ment of its losses 1t is prudently and
safely managed being under the control of
directory composed of thirteen of the lead
ing business men of this city. Its officers
are we'll known, and command the conf
dence OF the public. The money it earns re-
mains at home and goes TO swell the asgre-
gate wealth of the city and state. Persons
dealing with it are assured of honorable
treatment by the well known character of
those who control it. 1t is the only Indiana
company doing an agency business and its
agencies are carefully supervised by a COM
petent special agent There are two insur-
ance companies in this city so nearly alike
in name as sometimes to create confusion in
the public mind. They are the Franklin in
surance company and the Franklin life in
surance company. The first of these COM
panies-the one of which we are speaking
is a stock company and does fire and
marine business. The other is mutual
company and does exclusively a life bust
ness. Mr.. John C. Shoemaker is president
of the Franklin, Mr.. James +. Robertson
vice president, and Mr.. w. W. Woollen sec
rotary. Its Office is in its own building. at
the corner of Market and Circle streets,
which is one of the most beautiful and sub
stantial structures in the city.

EDITOR OF THE OPINION.

Will you allow us a brief space in
your columns to say few words on the
much tabooed subject of "woman's
rights" which may be considered as in
PRODUCING our forthcoming lecture,
advertised in another column; under
the special heading of"A plea for Equali-
ty," we shall not only make u demand
for the SUFFRAGE, but also for higher
education of woman, and the breaking
away of the rigid customs which have
been established in society, and which
prohibit her from sharing the benefits
that accrue from our civilization.
The question OF woman's wages. or
of equal pay, for equal labor performed,
will also be considered, as well as a de-
mand for equality in some other direc-
tons.
The question of woman's rights to the
suffrage, has now passed beyond the
sphere of ridicule, and is attracting the
attention of some of the most intelligent
and influential minds of our age; many
of whom have declared themselves in
its favor. The demand for new and
wider sphere for woman, flows naturally
out of our modern civilization, and the
elective franchise, is the first step to be
taken to secure to her, that larger equali-
ty which is hers by right, and which will
make her self sustaining and less de-
pendent upon man. What we ask is a
hearing and that the public reserve it's
denunciations until it has weighed our
arguments. Let no woman say | have
all the rights want, because forsooth
she has home ofelegance and luxury
surrounded by kind and indulgent
friends, forgetting those who are less
favored, and need protection.
We have been much chargined at the
course taken by some women as against
their own cause, therefore we earnestly
ask all to lay aside prejudice and come
together and listen if it be for the first
time, to what may be said in its favor,
uniting to raise aloft the standard of
womanhood to the end, that men may be
elevated, society purified and a higher
morality attained.
For Progress and Reform.

TILDEN's friends claim that he
carried the State in 1874 by 10000
majority. His vote was 416,OOO
against 37S,000, which gives him a
majority of $4,000 only. Last year
a majority of 14,S10 is claimed for
his ticket. His vote was 100000
against $4,000, which gives him
some 1000 majority. 1t is we'll to
state the figures accurately, as they
take down the lofty pretenslon OF
Governor Tilden's popularity, and
show that he has fallen far short of
his claims to public confidence. He
will find that a revolution has tax
en- place since it was seen that he
wore only the mask of reform, and
that New York is good for 10000
against him, Of which Kings coun-
ty will furnish 10000.
