The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1878-02-06

The Shylocks and their organs having
been driven from their strongholds, over
whelmed by the indignation of the people
and by unanswerable arguments, are at last
looking to the veto power of Hayes to reverse
the Will of the people. Under these circum-
stances the following from the Washington
Union is worthy of consideration. 1t says:
The veto power is the royal prerogative OF
the constitution. IL had its origin in England
when her kings claimed TO rule by divine
right, and when the liberty of the subject de-
pended on The favor of the crown. Strange to
say, too, this prerogative was practically
abandoned by the sovereigns of Great Britain
before it was engrafted into our system of
government, and we believe there has been no
instance or Its exercise by them since our con-
sntution was adopted.
The argument for the veto in the cOnven-
IL could be used to prevent party legislation,
or the adoption of any very unwarrantable
measure las, for instance, the clandestine
characterization of silver, which, it was sup
both houses of congress, and in such
cases veto would, so to say, call
ton nut But an1 i it was ' never i meant by
the original friends of the veto that the wis
dom of the president was superior TO that Of
two-thirds or three-fonrths of the two houses
1t was not expected that the president would
use the veto to thwart the deliberate will OF
the people as expressed by congress after pro-
sometimes adopted the alternative rather than
fly in the face of the people, of retaining hi 1
ten days without signing, or returning IL with
their objections. The result of this modest
course is to give effect to the bill without COM
promising their conscientious scruples. The
president thus throws the responsibility upon
the representative of the people.
The republican party of the north is COM
posed in a large degree, of old wings. They
can not forget that there were few subjects
nearer the neart of their great leader, Henry
Clay, than the abolition or restriction of this
llrprOOQfiVQ- Time and AGAIN hQ nrpSSPd
the matter on the attention of congress and
the country. 1t was cardinal principle of
the WING party to abolish or restrain the exer-
else of the Veto and it was precisely In cases
like that involved in the reconciliation OF
silver that Henry CLAW and the wings of his
day would have denounced the veto as anti
republican, arbitrary and despotic.
Yet men who claim to have been trained as
wings are now calling loudly on President
Hayes to do violence tn this great fundamen-
tai WING principle in which he and they were
educated.

were in earnest, and the people who have
the extreme measures proposed to reach the
facts. The Journal pronounces the bill,
which is designed to expose fraud and
punish rascals "the most infamous ever
introduced in the American congress-"
and then with royal disdain asks what is
personal liberty worth, what is habeas cor
'pus worth. what does the sanctity of home
or the protection of law amount to if any
American citizen may be thus summoned
from the most distant portion of the coun-
try and compelled under severe penalties to
testify in secret before congressional in
'vestIgating committee?"
Well, personal liberty" "habeas corpus"
ETC., are not worth much when an Gamer
can citizen" has been stealing. The people
are getting terribly out of humor with

treason to the state of Indiana in its advo.

to its burden of odium the defense of men
measure which the Journal condemns SIM
ply propose to expose rascals-men who
have been stealing-and the Shylock organ
in the intensity of its indignation asks:
What is the country coming to when such a
measure can be gravely proposed in the Amer
lean congress, and what will republican gov
eminent be worth If it becomes law?
One would naturally suppose, from the
Journals point of observation, that the
whole superstructure of the government
would go to pieces if fraud should be exposed
and thieves punished. But the Journal is
doomed to see the Shylocks overmastered
and reign of honesty inaugurated, and it
may live to see Hayes, the poor, trembling
presidential fraud, punished for his COM
plicity with the crime committed by the
perjured villains of the Louisiana returning
board. At any rate the Journal had better
husband its resources, for if it proposes 10
sustain Shylocks and thieves it will have
opportunities for the employment of all its
forces.

Lime Rock light house, pension. She is in
bad health. having never recovered from her
long continued and almost supernatural eff

raging, the waves were seemingly over

the time, dared everything to save the
drowning men. She herself asks for moth

shall receive pension.

THE MARCH OF OPINION.

The Shylocks might as we'll make up their
minds first as last that they can not longer
rule this country. The people, who have
been deceived and defrauded. will no
longer submit to their rule. The
repeal of the resumption law and
the demonstration of silver are fixed
facts, and may as well Ibe recognized now as
hereafter. These measures are absolutely
necessary for the welfare of the country,
and the bondholders will be compelled to
stand by their contract with the government,
to take a little silver with their
gold. We like the outlook exceedingly. 1T
is always pleasant and assuring to see the
people acting in concert upon important
questions. Having suffered from contrac-
ton, which has been the prolific parent
of numberless ills, they have determined
upon a change. Resumption will be
Indefinitely postponed. Contraction of the
currency and the shrinkage of values will
cease. Silver dollars of 412T grains will be
coined, and made a legal tender for all
debts. Business will revive. Confidence
will be restored, and the whole
country will enjoy the blessings
of wise legislation. But this suspicious
outlook must not dampen the ardor of
democrats. If eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty" it may be said with equal pro
priety that eternal vigilance will be required
to overthrow and completely demolish the
radical party. The democratic party
is accomplishing wonderful results for the
welfare of the people. The south restored
to liberty, military despotism removed, car
pet-baggers exiled, radical scoundrelism
undergoing investigation, resumption post
poned, and the silver dollar of
the fathers remonetized, an era of
prosperity IN the near future may
be anticipated as the great blessing the
triumph of the democratic party has secured
for the country. 1t is now understood that
Hayes will not interfere with his veto. He
will let the people control their business
and financial affairs. John Sherman sees
the folly of antagonizing the people,
and the outlook is cheering. If the shrink
age of values can be avertsd, if honest silver
dollars can be coined and sent broadcast
through the land, it is believed that business
will revive, bankrupts will be less numer-
Gus. and idle men will have employment.
The march of opinion has been in all regards
grand. 1t has confronted the Shylocks and
neutralized their power. It has stalked into
the white house and overawed the miserable
fraud that plays president. In congress it
has commanded audience, and the votes of
the peoples representatives give assurance
that public servants will heed public opinion.
Already there is better feeling in the
country. Business will soon revive, and
laboring men will have work. The march
of opinion has been stately. and Its tri-
umphs in all regards in the interest of the
people.

Painting Houses.

IF. R. E. in Massachusetts, Ploughman.l
1t is good economy to use plenty of paint
for all kinds of wood work that is exposed to
the weather; and nothing gives a neater or
more comfortable appearance to a village or
a country residence, except trees, lawn,
flowers and shrubbery connected in a taste
full manner, than the painting of the build
ings with colors associated with the lines
ana colors around. A shade of white in
rooms in the house will do, but oftener a
shade of light brown, purple or mauye is
better; it much depends on the amount of
light given to the room and its daily use.
Leaving the inside. let US take the outside.
We have, as l think, too much white, and a
green house in Stamford, Conn, is to me in
the most objective taste that the owner
could have originated. Very much depends
on the color of the buildings of ours by the
surroundings, height of situation, the dis
lance of view by passers on, and opposite
residents of the street. Where the shadows
are heavy by having planted dark foliaged
trees that have grown to make deep shade
to the buildings and view, lighter shade OF
color should be put upon them than where
only q few decIduous trees, ETC., of light
foliage are of the surroundings and back
grounds. No red BRICK or pure white should
ever show on farmers, or refined gentle
mans, outside of city block.
Perhaps am assuming, but permit me to
say in the instructive Ploughman that it is
desirable and expeGient for country resi-
dents, whether farmers, mechanics, manu-
facturers, or of what profession or pursuit in
life. TO attend more truly than they now do
to this subject My article, crude as 1t may
be, was started with the heading of Paint
ing Houses" and now, if you permit, 1
speak of what is said by practical parties, of
the best time to apply paint on exposed sur
faces. So far as read, repeated experiments
have been made in the past forty years,
which have resulted in the conviction that
paint applied between November and March
stands more than twice as long as that which
is spread in warm weather. The reason is
thought obvious, from the fact that in cold
weather the oil and other component parts
of paint torn a hard substance readily on
the surface nearly as hard as glass, (no mat
ter what the surface exposed isl which can
not easily be erased, or even cut with sharp
knife, aud will not wear off in years; whereas
paints applied in July and August and
more especially if in a severe drought, the
oil will Immediately enter the surface no
matter what it is, aud the lead nearly dry,
will soon crumble off.

Attractive Homes.

There is use In beauty. 1t makes home
attractive, its exterior more respectable our
lives happier, our dispositions sweeter, and
our social and domestic intercourse more re-
fined. BY all means plant some little thing of
grace to temper the rugged surroundings of
the front yard. Its SILENT though eloquent
language, will speak to the visitor or the
passer-by word Of eulogy for you. The
least flower or shrub will be some attraction:
a curved path winding between trees TO the
house, mound of stones and shell with the
ivy trailing over them, the Towering shrubs
or the turf of fern-alI such things are
attractive and form a pleasing object for the
eve of even the most Indifferent beholder.

SOME of the most fearful cases of destitu-

wife OF a respectable sailor said to reporter:

members of the society for aiding the poor
gives this testimony: "The ups and downs of
life are wonderful. We have to-day on our
books receivers of relief who a few years
ago we're some of our most regular contribu-
tors TO our funds, and, on the other hand,
some of our most generous donors now are

by timely aid prevented from going down

those in distress" A lady has started q

EUROPE is in state of almost unparalleled
excitement, and a general war is feared.
Russia is deliberative with regard to crush
ing Turkey outright, or of leaving her a
semblance of power in Europe. 1t is pos
sible that Austria will aid England should
the latter decide to oppose Russia and it is
quite as probable that Prussia will aid Russia
in carrying out her policy. Should a
general war convulse Europe the United
States would reap substantial benefits. The

A NEW DANGER.
The Palace Stock Car JOb-SOmethfng
for STOCK shippers to Look Into.
Live Stock Journall

Live Stock Journal.1
A few years ago an inventor got a patent
upon an improved car for the transportation
of live stock, and tried to bring into general
use. Since that time number of devices of
like character and having the same general
purpose have been patented, but with the same
result. A number of eastern capitalists have
bought these patents and have formed joint
stock company with million dollars capital
stock-in paper shares not worth a-that is.
we mean not very valuable as a source of
income under present circumstances.
This winter bill has been
introduced in congress, which, if passed,
will practically force all shippers of cattle in
the country to use the Palace stock car.
The bill purports to be in the interests
of humanity and to have for its sole
object the prevention of cruelty to ami
mails, but its effect will be to put about
four millions of dollars into the pockets
of the men who are pushing the bill These
dollars will come first out of the railroads as
a royalty and finally out of The pockts of the
farmer and western shipper. The result of
the passage of the bill will be most disas
trous to the cattle interests OF the west, if
not of the whole country.
We have not time this afternoon to make
a fall explanation of this matter, but can
only urge all our readers to write to their
representative in congress and urge his
strong and immediate action to prevent
the passage of the bill for the Limitation of
transportation of live Stock unless loaded
and shipped in patent cars" Prompt action
will no doubt defeat the bill. Do not think
that il will make no difference if you do not
write Every name will tell in influencing
your representative to defeat this attempt to
fasten upon the live stock trade another and
most formi6~S'e monopoly worse than any
of those un which it is now suffering.

singular Property of Tomsto Leaves.

81 planted a peach orchard" writes NJ.
Siroy, of the society of horticulture, Valpa-
raise, land the trees grew well and strongly.
They had but just commenced to bud when
they were invaded by the ourcnlio (pulgon),
which insects were followed, frequently
happens, by ants. Having cut some toma-
toes, the idea occurred to me that by placing
some OF the leaves around the trunks and
branches of the peach trees might preserve
them from the rays of the sun, which were
very powerful. My surprise was great on
the following day TO find the trees entirely
free from their enemies, not one remaining,
except here and there, where a curled leaf
prevented the tomato from exercising its in
fuence. These leaves | carefully unrolled,
placing upon them fresh ones from the
tomato vine, with the result of banishing
the last insect, and enabling the trees to
grow with luxuriance. Wishing to carry
still further my experiment, l stepped In
water some fresh leaves of the tomato, and
spTinkled with this infusion other plants
roses and oranges. In two days these were
also free from the innumerable insects
which covered them, and felt sure that,
had used the same means with my melon
patch | should have met with the same re-
suit ] therefore deem it a duty owe to
the society of horticulture to make known
this singular and useful property of the
tomato leaves which 1 discovered by the
merest accident"

Arizona Items.

The subjoined items are from the
Yuma Sentinel of May 4th:
The Cargo Muchacho mines have
been carefully examined this week
by San Francisco parties, who are
said to have been well pleased. It is
probable that the present litigation
will soon come TO an end, and work
be resumed.
The new mill at Empire Flat
started up this week on 100 tons OF
gold quartz, for working test. The
original design of the company
was to crush and concentrate cop
per ores; but that quartz was too
tempting.
A fine ledge, showing much rock
on the surface rich in free gold, has
been discovered by J. Peck, south
of Mohawk and near the Sonora
line. All that section of Yuma
county is one that has been too
much neglected by prospectors.
Active work has been com menced
at the old Ajo mines. Eight men
at work last week, and the force
is being increased to thirty. Seve-
raj parties have located mines
there, each claiming to have the
original, old, simon pure Ajo. If
specimens count for anything, they
have all got good property. J. A.
Robertson took out another load
of tools and provisions on Thurs
day
The Mohave arrived on Saturday
with 30 tons rich ore from Mineral
Park, shipped by Breon & Spear;
% tons lead ore from the Arkan-
sas mine, of Castle Dome, and
$33, 900 In silver bars from the Sig
nal and McCrackin. The Colorado
arrived Saturday with 225 hides
and six bales of pelts. 1000 fat
sheep were shipped by Boiserand to
California by special train Satur-
day night. Then Yuma rested the
next day.
