Whatever doubt may have been enter
tanned as to the earnestness of the Rou-
manian objection to Russian occupation,
seems to be set at rest by the announce
ment that Roumania is about to issue
formal protest, addressed to the great
powers, against the course that Russia
has pursued. That there is abundant
ground for such protest is sufficiently
evident from the facts mentioned in the
dispatch from Bucharest giving notice of
the action of the Roumanian govern
ment, and 1t will be interesting to note
how the request for aid will be received.
Under the theory-avowedly held by
England and tacitly held by Germany,
France, Austria-that the Treaty of Paris
still is in force, the appeal of Roumania
| cannot be disregarded; and at the same
time it is quite plain that Intervention in
her behalf can be only by force of arms
and at the price of the war that every
body seems anxious to stave off The
situation at Constantinople also is far
from reassuring, the suggested removal
of the capital to Scutari, and the announ-
ced removal of munitions of war to that
point having a look anything but peace
ful. just now, when war and peace are
so evenly balanced, mere delay is dan
gerous quantity, aud the fact that events
| still are as uncertain as they were fort
| night ago must be regarded as a bad
sign.

DEMOCRATIC FINANCIAL DOCTRINE.

On the Goth of February last the demo-
cratic party of Indiana met in convention.
The work before the convention was to
nominate state ticket and put forth plat
form of principles upon which the present
campaign was to be fought. The financial
issue was not overlooked. On the contrary,
it was brought into the boldest possible
prominence. The radical ORGANS find
the declarations of the democratic
party upon financial questions invul-
nerable. They do not attack
them. They know nothing is to be gained
by such policy. They prefer to assume
that Senator Voorhees,, Governor Hen
bricks, Senator Mcdonald and other dis
tinguished members of the democratic party
are at a variance upon financial questions.
They know full well that each of the gentle
men named stands squarely on the platform
of the party without equivocation or reserv.
alton. Now then what is the position of the
democratic party Of Indiana? Let the plat
form speak
The democracy of the state of Indiana as
sembled in delegate convention declare:
That national bank notes shah be retired,
the government an equal amount OF treasury
notes with full legal tender quality.
states notes commonly called gTeenbacks' a
full legal tender in payment OF all debts, pub
lie and private, except such obligations only
under winch they were issued, expressly pay
able in coin.
That the right to issue paper money as well
as coin is the exclusive prerogative of the gov
eminent, and such money should be issued in
such amounts as the sound business inter-
ests of the country may from time to time re-
We are in favor of such legislation by con-
greSs as will authorize the taxation by the
states of the United States notes in common
That we deem it unwise and inexpedient to
enact any further legislation for the funding
of the national debt abroad, through the
means of home syndicates other methods;
and we believe the true policy of the govern
ment and the best interests of the people
would be subserved by legislating so as to dis
affording them the most favorable and prscti-
cal opportunities for the investment of their
savings in the funded debt of the United
States.
Upon this platform Messrs. VOORHEES,,
Hendricks and Mcdonald stand. Every
candidate nominated by the democratic
party is committed unqualifiedly to its sup
port. Ali democratic papers in the state in
dorse the platform and are advocating its
financial declarations. The radical organs,
aware that they can not successfully combat
the financial principles laid down, have the
discretion to remain silent. We challenge
them to attack the financial policy mapped
out in the platform. They will not do IT.;
they dare not do it. But they will continue
to lie about the opinions of distinguished
democrats who indorse the platform and
will advocate it's financial doctrines before
the people.

domains of eloquence. Witness the follow
ing apostophe to hard times: "YOu may
not need these facts but there is speaker
whose lessons you will heed-it is hard
times He will come and speak to you at
your homes. He will stand upon your
door steps, as with cold face and CLASSY eye
he looks within. He will enter your homes
and look into the closet, and into the meal
tub. He will stand beside your hearth
stone. He will sit down between husband
and wife, between parents and children, and
he will speak to you of society as not being
properly organized; of the relations be-
tween capital and labor as not well adjusted
He will make dangerous suggestions about
the rich and the poor-the contrast between
the sufferings of the many and the enjoy
'ment of the few"
Do not thoss who have been unwilling
hosts of the monster so graphically de-
scribed by Governor Hendricks desire
to drive him from their homes? If
so, they should vote the democratic
ticket in October. Such a course is
dictated alike by self interest and the public
good

THERE is a district in Alabama which has
6,00O "colored majority;" but three freedmen
are ain the field" against one another, and
''the party" has taken to the woods. The New
York Times admits that the democrats viii
have ga walk over" The capacity of the ne
gro 10 divide in his politics is astonishing
northern persons who were wont TO count
how many black men there in district,
and call that the radical strength. In General
Chalmers district in Mississippi the negroes
have over 5000 majority, but every one of the
20 STATED" preachers of that race in the dis
trlct Is on the stump for the general, for the
novel reason that he Is an out and out state
rights man.-Brooklyn Eagle.
The proof is piling up throughout the
south that the negroes are rapidly becoming
democrats. They are opposed to carpet bag
rule, preferring natives to inaugurate home
rule" As general thing the colored peo-
pie are abandoning politics for the cotton
and the corn6elds, preferring square meal
of bacon and corn bread to the vexations of
Office. They are beginning to understand
the negro policy of the radical party, which
means vote and starve. They are now adopt
ing policy of their own, which is work
and have plenty" With such change the
radical party can expect but little aid from
the coiored people of the south.

'of his name excites Kisses. The popular
speakers do not mention him save to con-
denim his acts He has become heavy load
for the party to carry, and if the proof of
his guilty connection with the conspiracy
by which he was put In Office is fastened
upon him he will become q stencil in the
'nostrils of mis- party associates. OF course,
with democratic senate and house he will
be nearly powerless for mischief 1t may
be good policy for the democrats to let him
alone. The republicans who stole the presi-
'dency and put him into it ought to be
forced to carry their punishment to the
END. But there are considerations higher
than party advantages. And if 1t shall be
proved that Hayes was privy to the conspir-
'acy by which the enormous frauds against
the people and our whole electoral system
were perpetrated, it is a serious question
whether the interests of the country and free
institutions would not require his arragn-
'ment. Justice is Of more consequence than
politics"
The radical party, now asking to have the
government once more placed in its power,
is the guilty party. 1t has Endorsed every
fraud, apologised for every forgery, and ap-
plauded every perjury committed in the
interest of Hayes. The people have deter
mined to exile it from power, to stamp upon
it their condemnation, and to have only
such rulers as they shall clothe with author
ity by their votes. We like the outlook.

Here it is provided that a man shall not
beg nor subsist upon charity, under a pen
atty of no less cruelty than fifteen months
imprisonment at hard labor. 1t is the first
authoritative announcement that has met our
eye that it is a crime to beg; and the glory
OF placing begging and stealing upon the
same level has been reserved for New Hamp-
shire. There is nothing like it in any land
beneath the sun. From the days Of Christ
upon earth the poor beggar has
been an object of commisseratioD.
To give him food, clothing and
shelter is an obligation everywhere regarded
as binding among men who are MOI as cruel
as savages and not as destitute of humanity
as tigers. 1t is the glory of our civilization
that the poor are provided for, and Christ
demonstrated his MesSiahship by declaring
that the poor had 1.-The gospel preached 10

rule, first creates beggars, and then if one
of them dare ask for cent or rag, brands
them as criminals and sends them to states

nevolent aspects. Men, whether tramps or
householders, who carry concealed weapons
or seek to prey upon communities; vaga-
bonds, of whatever type, should be made to
suffer such penalties as will restrain then in
the commission of such crimes; but to send
a man to the penitentiary for begging-to
brand him as criminal when he is striving
to remain honest in his poverty-is crime
against humanity, and, if it were possible,
New Hampshire should be strapped to a
whipping post, and receive forty stripes save
one upon its bare back

The largestimportation in any single year
was in 1873, when it amounted to $642, 1885,
'210 in merchandise alone, since which time
the decline was continuous and gradual
until 1878. The exports on the contrary
although somewhat irregular in aggregate
value from year to year, owing in large part
'to variations in the prices of the leading
'articles-cotton, grain, petroleum and pro-
'yisions-have yet advanced from $685., O0O,
900 in 1873 to nearly $695 900 900 in 1878"
In making up the account of our foreign
trade there are various elements which enter
into the calculation. and which require con-
sideration. Among these is that of freights
upon imported goods. 1t is authoritatiyely
estimated that the freights average per
cent of the value of the cargoss. "0f the
total imports of foreign commodities
full 20 per cent. is carried in foreign bot
toms; during the last five years, therefore,
ships owned by foreigners have brought into
this country commodities valued at $1.714,-
'669,33S or upward, the freights on which at
six per cent, amounting to S102, $50, 160,
should also be added to the declared value
of the merchandise imported. On the other
hand, the fact should not be lost sight of
that about thirty per cent Of the exports Of

THE Hon. Joseph E. Mcdonald addressed
large and enthusiastic assemblage at
Logansport last night, and brief report of
his remarks will be found in our special and
general dispatches. Never before in the
history Of Indiana politics has so general an
interest been manifested thus early
in the campaign by the democ-
racy as is the case this year,
and every indication proves that the absorb
ing interest is not confined to any particular
county or locality. Democratic orators of
the ability of Senator Mcdonald will be
greeted by crowds everywhere. and from this
time henceforth the republicans may as well
recognize the fact that Indiana democrats
mean business.
