address when he said: "D0n'G get into politics.

nothing to do with party politics, and the effort

with rebuke from all fair-minded men. They are
not the questions upon which the political parties
are divided.-Journal
So! Then you think that the prohibitory
amendment should not have been forced
into politics? Then why did you not SO
advise the last Republican Legislature
Why did that body force the issue upon the
people? and now you cry "Shul shu Hush!

people go it blind once more, and the
amendment can be smuggled through the
next Legislature as it was done before"
Out upon such hypocrisy. Discuss the
question intelligently and fully and let the
people know what is going on.

very remarkable Convention met in
Greencastle on Saturday. It was remarka-
BILE because it was composed of intelligent
should pass resolution demanding and
insisting upon measure that has already
been settled by the Constitution. The reso-
luton reads as follows:
That the people may be perfectly free to ex-
press their convictions on this question, we re
spectfully request the several political parties at
their approaching County Conventions. 10 declare
uneQuiv0caily in favor of submitting the pending
constitutional amendments 10 a vote of the peo
pie and 70 select candidates for the Legislature
pledged to the same.
Then Committee was appointed by the
meeting whose duty it shall be to learn
definitely of the several Legislative candi-
dates what position each will take-if
elected-in regard to submitting the pro
posed amendments to popular vote"
The Sentinel has repeatedly published
the language Of the Constitution on this
point. Conventions and resolutions can not
affect the question of submission" simply
because the matter is settled by the State
Constitution, which provides that amend
ments "must be submitted" after having
been favorsbly passed upon by two sue
cessive Legislatures If the General As
sembly at its next session'does not pass the
prohibitory amendment that body is power
less to submit it to the people. The State
Constitution stops it ut this point, and the
amendment dies. In view of this. then, it
is almost beyond belief that such intelligent
gentlemen al composed the Greencastlemeet-
ing could frame aud pass resolutions of the
kind referred TO. Not that there is any OBJ
lection to the principle Of submitting au
amendment to the people, but because the
State Constitution has absolutely settled the
question. A resolution demanding "submis-

NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.

Postma ter General Howe, in recommend
ing to Congress the abolition of postage on
newspapers and magazines, has taken a step
in the right direction. and has shown him
self to be statesman of broad and enlight-
ened comprehension. We hear much
late about the importance of large appro-
priations by the Federal Government to aid
educational enterprises throughout the
countryside prooriety of which is ques-
toned. but there can be no doubt about the
propriety of such action by Congress as will
cheaper the costs of newspapers to sub
scribers, and Mr.. Howe in his letter to Con-
gress says that sit may we'll be doubted if
the whole people get as much information
of public affairs from the volumes gratu-
itiously thrown at them by the Government
as they do from newspapers and magazines
which they purchase and pay for. Congress
may at the present time safely abrogate all
Determinations between subscribers to
newspapers and magazines, and send the
same through the mails without charge,
whether such subscribers live within the
County OF publication or out OF it," The
point is well taken, for, except in so far as
the newspapers and magazines popularize
the volumes gratuitously thrown at the peo-
pie by the Government, very little OF their
contents are known. The newspapers
and magazines are the great educa-
tors of the people, and the postage
tax upon them is a tax upon education and
information and in favor of ignorance. The
Postoffice Department is not self-sustaining,
nor is it required that it should be. In the
year 1880 there we're ASP Postoffies against
75 in 1870, an increase ,os "A, 437. In 1886
there were 344, O06 miles of post routes and
the revenue of the Department amounted
to $50, 7S5. 1893 and the expenditures were
S39, psi, 736-expenditures in excess of re-
ceipts, s., 466, S3S. We have no means OF
knowing the amount of revenue derived
from postage on newspapers, but however
considerable, it was just so much tax upon
information which, for the public good,
ought to be discontinued. We are satisfied
that Postmaster General Howe has acted
wisely in recommending the abolition
of the newspaper tax, and hope that Con-
gress will not delay action upon his prudent
recommendation.

But the opponents of PROFIT,
biiion say the matter Is before the people now Ia
the selection of members of the Legislature This
is true indirectly. but 1t is not sharp, well de-
fined issue.
The above we find in the Journal, quoted
from recent editorial of Mr.. Murray Briggs,
editor of the Sullivan Democrat Mr.. Briggs
must certainly know that if the prohibitory
matter is not before the people as "a sharp,
we'll defined issue it is the fault of the Con.
stitution. That instrument submits an
amendment to popular vote only after II
has passed two successive Legislatures. The
issue need not lack sharpness or deiniteness
unless the policy of the Republican leaders
to quit talking about it is adopted. The
Democracy invite full and exhaustive dis
cussion that the people may be thoroughly
informed. The Constitution has already
settled the question of submission"
Mr.. Briggs says in conclusions:
" Never let it be said of the Demo
cratic party OF Indiana that they were afraid Il
let the people vote on constitutional amend
ment.
This can never be faithfully said. 1t i:
one of legion of Republican misstatements
of the position of the Democratic party, and
no matter who it is that is ''afraid" or not
afraid" of the popular vote, the State Con
siitution has settled the time when an
amendment must be passed upon by the
people, and TO this all good citizens will bow
in submission. That time can not come in
the matter under consideration until the
next Legislature meets and passes fayorably
upon the amendment.

q nor can 1t be blind to the fact that
the talk aSu; submitting the amendments TO q

is the veriest balderdi u and ros-Journal.
THE balderdash and rot are just what
you are wallowing in. You are endeavorine
to make the imp ession that no matter if the
next Legislature does pass unfavorably upon
the amendment yet it will have the power
to submit it to the people, when you know
that the Constitution gives it no such right
1t can only be submitted after the Legis
lature has taken vote upon it and q
majority has declared in favor of it.
The balderdash and rot" therefore, lies in
the fact that you are trying to make the peo
pie believe that the Democratic party is op
posed to a submission of the prohibitory
amendment to the people, when you know
that the Constitution of the State has put il
out of their power to oppose such submits.

The third annual report of the Depart

contains vast amount of valuable informa-
ton which, unfortunately for the people, is
locked up in a book of more than four
hundred pages, and will, therefore, never
reach the hands Of. the great body of the
people who are taxed for the support of the
Department of Statistics and for the publ
cation of its annual reports. There is no
way, therefore, for the people to obtain the

the press of the State epitomize it for their
benefit. The frst agricultural tables of the
report are devoted to giving the production
of the leading crops in the year 1880 by
Counties. Totals are as follows:
