Stingy Bill English is supposed to be
aspiring just now to be boss of Indi
ana politics. He is tired of being tram.
pied upon and.abused. He has just pur.
chased the indianapolis Sentinel and
proposes 10 make it fFst-ciass paper
and a power in the political arena. The
fellows who have been striking at him
so viciously because they thought he
was down. are thus apprised of their
mistake, and will doubtless get under
cover as soon as possible. 1t is also his
intention TO send his son to congress.
Evidently he means tn show thai he is a
very risky political corpse.

a TRUE BILL.
Bal1ot-BOx Suffers Indicted at Charlie
ton, South Carolina.


ton, South Carolina.
CHARLESTON, s. c., April 1S.-In the
United States circuit court today,
the grand jury returned true bill
against Henry G. Dickerson and others
of Barnwell county, charged with con-
spiracy to intimIdate United States wit
nesses. The grand jury was composed
of thirteen Republicans and seven Lem
ocrats.
The court then commenced the trial
of the managers of the election at the
Maysville precinct, Sumpter county,
charged with stuffing the ballot-box and
interfering with the United States
supervisor. The jury consists of eleven
Republicans and one Democrat. The
district attorney did not find it necessa-
~ to use any of the challenges to
| which the prosecution is entitled,
finding the new system of standing
aside Jurors, allowed by Judge Bond,
| to be sufficient to secure his proper jury.
Seven of the government witnesses are
colored. The testimony showed misun-
Outstanding as to where the poll was to
| be until three minutes after 6 O'Clock in
the morning, when voting had CON-
menced and several ballots had been de.
posted. The supervisor testified that
he asked the managers to open the box
| so that he could see IN 1t, but they in.
formed him that voting had begun and
they could not again open the box and
that they had exhibited the box before
voting commenced.
The election proceeded quietly all day
and when the box was opened and the
vote being counted bundle of ten dem
ocratic tickets and two packages of re
publican tickets, with two republican
tickets folded together in each, were
found in the box. The managers count
ed one ticket out of each box and de
stroyed the others. The number of votes
in the box exceeded the names on the
roll by twenty-five and the managers
drew out the surplus ballots without see
ing them and then destroyed them. OF
the ballots destroyed lat were Eepuhli-
cans and seyenty-faur democratic. The
government then closed the case for the

1t is stated that vessels sailing from
Boston have recently offered two cents
bushel for the privilege of carrying
wheat to Liverpool. This is an unheard
of thing in commercial circles. Last
week, vessels sailing from New York
took it gratuitously instead of buying
ballast, but the thought of offering a
premium tor carrying it is an innova-
ton belonging exclusively to Boston.
What may hereafter come, let no one
attempt to say. Wheat in Liverpool
lower than in New York! Two cents a
bushel paid for the privilege of taking it
across the ocean as ballast from Boston,
Potatoes twenty-five cents bushel in
Scotland and ireland, severity cents in
New York, and the vessels that go back
with wheat ballast bringing vegetables
here as a splendidly paying cargol
Surely this ysar will be long memora-
bic for its agricultural and business
parsdoXes.

The new electoral count bill

The new electoral count bill receives
cordial Endorsement from the South
eFn Democratic papers. The feature
which leaves the decision ts case of dis.
puted returns to the state courts is taken
as a recognition of states rights and is
pronounced especi ally acceptable. The
Atlanta Constitution says that "the bill
takes the real count out OF the hands of
Congress- body that should have moth
ing to do with it beyond mere clerical
opening and tabulation OF the returns.
The responsibility fo- correct returns is
put upon the states, or just where it be-
longs and where for the sake of peace
and the permanence of our institutions
il should be vested"

TO fall into the clutches of the law some

then looses sight of him, even for II mo-

The confidence OF the temperance PEG.
pie of Iowa that the prohibitory amend

adopted is explained by the Des Moines
Register. 1t says to all those who have
been inclined to feel uneasy about the
matter: "Don't fret about not carrying
the prohibition amendment in Iowa.
You can not defeat such measure in a
state that has G,000 school houses and
10000 school teachers in it." Perhaps
the uniform Republican victories in the
state can be explained on the same
ground.

Lawrence is going to have Oscar

Lawrence is beginning to part her

Lawrence has a patent outside daily

Fit. Scott has just made another arrest

This seems somewhat remarkable in
view of the fact that the papers over
there are not, strictly speaking, third
term boomers.
Topeka is taking steps for the erection
of a hospital at that place. Bishop
Vail donates eight or ten acres of land
upon which 10 locate the proposed i'm
