the acts of men whom no one suspected of
any wrong doing. and the moral commit
ments in our pulpits have been from men of
the highest social standing.
Then the fact that we have, even in
the presidential chair, a thief and
a fraud, gives to the whole land
the facile Disagreement of an idle mockery
The people are losing faith in the sacredness
of our political temple, and the day threat
ems of total infdelity in all of our institu-
TONS
There can be ne hope of republic where
the masses become demoraiized and the pub
lie confidence is destroyed, for then personal
honor sinks beneath the weight of selfish
ness, and the ship of state fails to ride the
storm. Well will it be if the people of this
land will go back to first principles, and, with
true and honest hearts, take up the old
lesson of the decalogue, for all civil society
must have some moral basis, and we know
of none superior to that found in the ten
commandments, no matter where they are
found.
The light everywhere around us had in it
a radiance which none should despise, and
the duties which are before us teach that
personal honor and integrity should be the
honest cultivation of every hour. In church
and state the obligation is imperious as the
purest and highest test of personal character.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1878-05-08
THE MEAN FEATURE OF THE FLORI-
DA ERATDS

The meanest feature connected with the
presidential frauds is the utter absence of
any good motive on the part of those en-
gagged in them. Sometimes evil is done that
good may come out oft. We have for years
been laboring to show that the leaders of the
republican party we're entirely destitute of
political principle and devoid of patriotic
feeling. The main actors and the active
tools in the frauds were all animated by the
basest of personal motives-their own ag-
grandizement. There was Stoughton, who
could only see clerical errors" in changing
the majorities and forcing returns. He
went to Russia as minister of the county as
his reward. There was Noyes, who
was the confidential and trusted
friend of Hayes, and whose prom
Uses of reward to McLin and Dennis
corrupted them and changed the result. In
the gay capital of France, pleasure and ease
are the rewards he gained. There was Sher-
man, whose share of the result was a cabinet
position-where he could add to his own
possessions and help make up to those rsdi-
cal money sharks who furnished the money
for the campaign their respective contri-
buttons. Coming down to smaller game,
to Anderson, Wells, McLin and
Dennis, we find that the con-
LESSONS are made only by those who did
not receive what they considered a fair
price, in the way of positions and honors, as
compared with the more prominent actors
IN the fraud. Their share of the swag was
not in accordance with their services. 1t is
a usual practice among thieves that those
who plan and "set up the job have the lion S
share of the result. Those who plod and
simply execute the work laid out for them
do not get paid as we'll as the brains that
plan. w. Z. Chandler, the political pirate
from the verdant hills of New Hampshire,
was, perhaps, the man above all others to
whose boldness unscrupulousness and activ-
ity the presidential fraud owes his place.
He was perhaps the only one of prominence
who was not rewarded In proportion TO his
works. He was the first to give tongue to
the truth of the radical infamy, and
he is now among his class the most
persistent in hunting up the testimony and
exposing the infamY in which he was
leading participant. The picture we have
drawn OF these scoundrels is a melancholy
one, but as true as it is melancholy. Here
is party whose leaders would sell liberty,
betray their country, commit perjury, cor
rupt officials, array one section against the
other, tear the constitution into shreds,
and, in short, like Lucifer, dare even hell
itself for personal gain or advancement.
This principle is so deeply rooted among
these men that there is neither safety to our
institutions, prosperity to our country nor
peace among our people as long as they are
in power. The time has come when longer
submission to that party is bowling to their
mastershlp and inviting those aggressions
that will finally end in the overthrow OF our
form of government Tomorrow is good
time to commence the rebuke-

er the truth TO credit the business calamities
to dishonest legislation and to legislators
who are wanting in moral character, and the
business millennium is not likely to appear
until there is change in laws and law max
ers. We do not gainsay that there are dis
honest men and dishonest practices in all
departments of business, and we are equally
confident that Tery large per cent. of dis
honest business men could with little diff
Guilty obtain unquestionable certificates of
good moral character. In fact some of the
most notorious scoundrels this country has
produced were, so far as the community
knew, up to the date of exposure,
men of good moral character, men
of high standing, pillars in the church, etc.
Some of these consummate villains have
found their way into positions of great trust,
those who had confidence in them. The
Journal of Commerce does not allude
to such men, but to those who are
engaged in mercantile and industrial
pursuits. There can be no objec-
ton to homilies upon character nor
eulogies too high wrought upon good char
acter, but the intimation that the wide
spread financial and business depression is
chargeable to dishonest debtors is fragrant
outrage and not warranted by the
facts, and the business millennium
can not be fastened by changing the basis of
credits. No amount of fine writing will
jeopardize mans credit that is backed up
by capital, and the people of the United
States have not been unmindful of the value
of good moral character. What is wanting
is wise legislation and financial policy in
consonance with the demands of business.

Very Correct.

We are in receipt of the third quarterly
report of the board of state house commits
sioners. They give an itemized account of
every cent they spend, and we find by this
report that within the last quarter they have
spent only 81 sol 05. This includes the ex-
penses of the experts in examining the
state house plans, per diem, incident
al and all other expenses connected
with their administration, and in
this connection we are pleased to be
able to state that after fully investigating
the charges against che board made by the
disappointed architects Judge Elliott
has dismissed their complaint. This is just
as we had expected. We are glad the
investigation has been made, for ii will
satisfy few citizens throughout the state
that the board" is made of honest mste
rial, it Is a sound board without crack,
crook or knot hole. Indiana will build a
state house without ring.

THE DUTY OF DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS.
New York SUM-


There are some democrats in congress who
perfectly understand that Hayes reached the
presidency by fraud, but seem to think that
their party will have better chance of sue
cess in the fall elections by going to the peo-
pie on the case as it stands than by reopen
ing it for further investigation and taking
steps TO turn Hayes out OF Office after IL is
finally proved that Tilden was duly CHOSEN.
These democrats make a great mistake.
They show lack of that courage which the
masses OF the people always admire. They
exhibit an incapacity to resent wrong such
as high minded men must despise. They
have no adequate conception of the black
ness of the crime which is charged upon
Hayes and his fellow conspirators Thew
fail to comprehend the force and bearing OF
the obvious truth that it devolves upon the
democrats, as the aggrieved party, to take
the lead In exposing and Furnishing them IT,
on fair inquiry, they are found guilty.
Moreover, on the lower ground of mere
political expediency, these democrats take
a short sighted view of the situation In the
line of policy they recommend to be pur-
sued. Astute republicans will meet them
in the fall campaign with the declaration
that their party held complete control of the
house, and could have carried through any
measure they pleased in regard to the al
legged frauds, provided all the democrats
would vote for it, and that enough republi.
cans in the senate stood ready to Join all the
democrats in that body to secure the same
end. The democrats would have to admit
the truth of this statement. The republi-
cans would then insist that the reason why
the democrats in congress did not initiate
proceedings for testing their allegations
against Hayes was that they did not dare to
investigate the subject.
This charge of the republicans might De
untrue; but if the democrats shirk plain
duty, it will bother them to answer it. Pc
itical expediency, therefore, no less than
fundamental principle, demands that the
democrats in the present session of congress
should lay bare and punish the great crime
of our day.

THE MILLENNIUM OF BUSINESS.

The New York Journal of Commerce, in
discussing the subject of debts and credits"
sees in the fact of the repeal of the bank
rupt law an opportunity for a new depart
ure in business calculated to lead to
universal prosperity. The millennial era in
business Is 10 be ushered IN by remodeliDg
the credit system. The Journal of Com.
merce does not advocate the ''diminution''
OF the volume of credits, but desires for Its
establishment a different basis viz,
character and capacity" and adds:
The first thing to be established in favor of
any one who is TO betrusted must be good
moral character 1t is for this reason that we
process for enforcing the payment OF debts.
Let all debtors who contract obligation
fraudulently be punished as criminals; and
let all other pecuniary obligations of this class
be debts of honor. The first question then
asked would be If the applicant is honest and
honorable and good character built mp by
years OF integrity and lair dealing would be
very attractive acquisition.
1t is manifestly the purpose of tAe Jour
nal of Commerce to inculcate the opinion
vast majority of cases, has + suited ob iHitiO
from dishonesty, lack of moral character
and a purpose to defraud creditors, and
hence, as means Of guarding against fraud,
all transactions in the future are TO be based
upon good moral character" This may
sound very pretty, but itinvOlvesan amount
of investigation, certificates and afidavits
not calculated to promote the volume of
trade, nor, in fact, to guard creditors
against losses. AS general thing
the men who engage in legiti-
mate business start out with good moral
characters earnest workers, to make a com
potency and lay by something for a rainy
day and for old age. Thousands of such
men have failed during the past decade of
years. They have seen their fortunes shrink
away from their grasp, the result of forces
they did not create and had no power to
control. These men who struggled hard
against adversely and went down only when
resistance could no longer be made are by
the Journal of Commerce and the Shylock
organs generally placed in the list OF dis
honest men. The fact is that as
general proposition a large per cent.
of those who fail are honest men,
men who will not resort to fraudulent prac-
tices 10 maintain their foothold-men who
started out with good moral characters, and
who, though they have been compelled to
pass through the ordeal Of bankruptcy, re-
tain their integrity. 1t Is well calculated at
this juncture to obscure the facts that bear
directly upon business to insinuate that
lack of moral character has been the chief
cause Of the business prostration and ruin that
have visited the country. twould be near

Hayes as a Dirt Eater.
New York Times, Rep.l

1t was generally imagined that, so far as
order and civil service reform are con-
cerned. the president had eaten as much dirt
as he possibly could. But there was still a
lower level to be reached. and on this occa-
sion he found it. OF the civil service reform
not vestige now remains. Mr.. Hayes has
buried it, rags, bones and all. The old regime
is restored. Civil servants may run" the
machine as OF yore, and party managers may
call upon them for percentages just las though
some notorious orruptionist were at the
head of the government instead of Mr.. Hayes.

Hayes Ciym Service Reform Failure.

INV TUX 9IdIIs
The worst of this failure of one of the
two test measures of the administration is
that it tends to make a bad thing worse than
it was before. This is an inevitable result OF
all unsuccessful efforts to deal with any evil
by force. The failure encourages the wrong
doer and disheartens even more moderate
attempts at reform.
