Radical BulldOzing.
sHELnyvrLLE. Ind, April

SHELBYvILLE, Ind, April b.
For several days past the Democrats
of this city have been of the belief that
the Republican leaders of Shelby County
were importing negroes into the city for
the purpose of carrying the election
negroes were seen on the streets hast
here, who were drilling them tor the
election to-day. Several negroes were
brought from Seymour at a late hour on
Saturday night, and distributed here
and in Washington Township, this
county. Republicans openly said that
they intended to vote these paupers, re-
CARELESS of public sentiment and over
the wishes Of Democrats, and threatened
to knife any one who should object to
their scheme to carry the township.
The boldness of Republican leaders to
thus carry the election by intimidation
and fraud was The greatest outrage of
modern times, and stamps that party,
for all time to come as the most corrupt
the world has ever seen.
Republicans went secretly armed to
the polls contemplating murder, if nee
essary to carry out their designs. The
Democrats, however, of old Shelby,
being as true as the needle to the pole,
bHdb lO NotC
who was not known to be a legal voter,
and in solid phalanx they stood to
guard the ballot boxes from the hellish
designs of their opponents. About elev-
en- O'clock colored boy not over eigh-
teen years of age was marched to the
polls by Government officials and Re-
publican desperadoes, and an attempt
was made to vote him, but the Demo-
Gratis challenged his vote, and then the
entire Republican forces rallied to the
negro's relief. The negro was a mere
STRIPPING, and had never been seen in
the county before, and was total
stranger to the negroes themselves.
Republicans threatened violence unless
the negro was permitted to vote, but
the Democrats were not to be bull
dozed. and gave the lawless element
led by Republicans here to plainly I'M
derstand that their negro pet was one
of a gang of imported cattle. and
should not vote. The negro finally left
the polls, and publicly said that he did
not want to vote anyhow, but had been
coaxed to attempt the act by Republic
cans, who assured him that he would
not be prosecuted.
In the afternoon another negro made
his appearance at the polls with a large
knife drawn and threatened to kill
any Democrat who should challenge his
vote, and went about the yard threaten
ing Democrats with violence, and said
that he came from North Carolina to
vote, and he would vote. He was very

NihilistIc Revelations.

A Nihilist trial in Kieff has resulted
in a number of revelations concerning
the way the Russian revolutionists go to
work. The accused, who bas been con-
demned to death, one Arsaynee Bogo-
slaysky. the son of a clergyman. was
charged with an attempt to rob n mail
van and to appropriate the cash-box of
a regiment of infantry. with manufact-
uring explosive materials. with muir
dering fellow Socialist, Kuriloff, and
with dwelling in Kieff with false pass
port. The murder of Kuriloff, one of
their own, was decided upon because he
was believed to have been betraying
his friends. He was fallen upon by the
latter and shot, and his body flung into
the Dnieper. According to one of the
witnesses, an ex-Nihilist, the chief of
their association is invested with the
right of life and death over the men,
beers. For the first case of disobe-
dience, corporal punishment is the pen
atty; for the second, death. Accord
ing to the same and another ex-Nihilist.
ono of their fellow members had been
the son of a Prince. The sum contrib
uted by the htoring classes for the
support Of the association was twenty
per cent. OF their wages.

A Bankrupt Tribunal.

That the Supreme Court of the
United States is utterly debauched and
demoralized there can be little doubt.
That it is a miserably partisan organi-
cation there is abundant proof, and
now, as if to add to the. weight of
odium which has sunk il to soundless
contempt, it is charged that its deci-
siOns are given out privately, SO that
those informed can speculate upon
them. In commenting upon this mon
strous outrage. the New York Sun re-
marks that among the scandals of
the times, none is greater than that
every Judgment of the Supreme Court
involving great corporations or specu-
lations, has been made known to in
terested parties before being formally
delivered in public. The decree in the
case of the Pacific railroads. by which
the interest on the bonds advanced by
the United States was made payable
with the maturity of the debt, was
known to Jay Gould and his associates
ten days before it was read in court.
Millions changed hands on that -oc-
casion, and the beneficiaries had the
advantage of inside information. 1t is
absurd to suppose that these things
happen by eavesdropping about the
consultation-room; and to charge the
offense on subordinates, who cannot in
the nature of things be guilty, is a
despicable resort. The Court has long
known that the leak is among the
Judges themselves, and although the
fact is not now susceptible of legal
proof. there is little moral doubt
as to the person who wears the soiled
ermine. When Judges are appointed
to reverse the decisions of their own
court, to stultify its record in the inter-
est of huge corporations, and to sane
ton fraud by refusing to hear testi-
mony, as Miller and Strong and Brad
ley did on the Electoral Commission. is
it surprising that confidence in the in
tegrity of the tribunal should be
shaken, or that an upright Judge like
David Davis should retire from such
contact The Court is demoralized
and sadly needs reconstruction. With
Grantism restored to power, it would
become an instrument of vulgar despotic
rule, and an authority for the over
throw of free government. The next
President will, in all human probable
ity, have the appointment of five
Judges in the first two years of his term
of Office"
There is no installing the significance
of such a condition of affairs. 1t is on
record that the Court of highest and
last resort is bankrupt in everything
which entities it to the respect and con-
fdence of the people. Blinded by par
tisan fealty, it has become part of the
Republican machine, and is ready to do
its bidding. That is bad enough; but
when its decisions affecting large inter-
ests are disposed of to influence opera
tions in stocks, as in the case of the
Missouri Pacific Company (Which was
known in New York four days before it
was announced from the bench), every
citizen has right to be alarmed and to
denounce the outrage. 1t is high time
that the Republican party was ousted
from power in every department of the
Observation-Disclosures State Sentinel.

them gain on him, and then time the
speed till they collidedP 1t was a
desperate experiment., but he would try
1t. Slowly and very carefully he took
off the steam, and ran slower. In a
moment he had the speeds just alike.
Then he made the pace of the engine a
little less. and little less, while the
roaring and swaying train came nearer
and nearer. Both were still flying
down the grade at fearful pace. The
men on the cars watched the engine
sharply. They saw what the engineer
meant to do. II he succeeded. he
would save their Unsupported he
could let the cars strike the engine,
could hitch on, and then pull ahead be-
fore the train behind smashed into
them from the rear On and on flew
train and engine. Slowly they drew
nearer, and at last they bumped with a
gentle jar. The fireman was on the
pilot all ready to couple on. He drop
ped the pin in the coupling. and the
men on the car. gave q ringing cheer
that was heard above the roar of the
train; and the engineer opened the
throttle wide, and away they dashed
down the grade. just in time to escape
the train behind.
Inc men wanted 10 CHINO QOWu on
the engine to shake hands with the en-
gineer, but he motioned them back.
The danger was not over. One of the
men stood on top Of the, caboose, with
his back to the engine and his arms ex-
tended. One of the others held him up,
for the cars swayed frightfully in the
terrible pace they were going. He
watched the trai6 following behind. and
with his hands ma(e motions to the en-
gineer to run slowdA and slower, till,
with crash, the twdparts of the train
came together. The feat was not so
as the first, as the engineer
could not see the rear cars. The en-
CINE was reversed. and the brakes put
on, and they came to q stop-not
wheel off the metals, and not a man hurt.
Two of the cars were badly smashed,
but that was all. What had threatened
to be q fearful disaster, with loss of
men, engine and cars, was only slight
splintering of two cars that the carpen-
tiers could repair in a day. They had
general shaking of hands alone there in
the woods over the engineers splendid
feat; and for months it was told to list
ening men in every flag-station and
along the line how the
brave and cool engineer brought his
engine down the seventeen-mile grade.
