TIE Peoria lIll.l TRANSCRIPT, saws:

1.-THE Democrats of the Indiana Legislature
proved themselves to be rebels in the widest
meaning OF that term. While they did not
attempt open war against the State govern
ment. they undertook by means of covert
resistance to the execution of the laws to
overthrow or obstruct the exercise of all con-
stitutional authority They withheld ac-
ton upon the needed appropriation bills,
the same as their fellow partisans did in
Congress few years ago under the Hayes
administration, and so far as was in their
power put final estoppel upon the proper
administration of affairs. With this record
before the voters of that State there can DO
little doubt about the result in 1884 The
party that has been guilty of this kind of
treason to the public interest will appeal in
vain for renewal OF confidence at the polls. :"

COMPLAINT is made that the business of the
General Land Office is badly in arrears, and
that as result much harm is done the
landed interests of the West II is said that
in the private claims division there are at
least 10000 claims belonging to Louisiana
long ago as 1907. There are in the Land
Office not actually delivered, 291, 572 patents
that are in all respects complete and ready
for delivery. This is a matter that should
early receive the attention of Congress-
especially since it is charged that private
interests are sacrificed indiscriminately to
favor railroads.

IT is stated that the two official vultures of
get into difficulty over the bodies buried in
the Diamond mine at Braidwood. Some
where under the earth the mine covers the
county line, and the coroner from each
county, hungry for fees, maintains that the
dead men are his subjects. If these coroners
do come in collision, both of them should
be driven into one of the abandoned rooms
decency gets the better of greed. The wran-
gle is nauseatng.

The Hon. Isaac Jenkinson, editor of the
Richmond Palladium, and for many years
United States consul at Glasgow, has an edi-
torial notice of the letters of Mr.. Robert p
Porter describing the condition of Scotch
workingmen. The New York Tribune pub
statements of Mr.. Porter, unless as applied to
some of the meanest places in our town, in
habited by the lower class of drunken Irish. :"
The letter closed with the statement: 81 think
our sober and industrious workers, all things
considered, are as comfortable as their breth-
rem in the States" Upon this Mr.. Jenkinson
says: "This is the common Scotch belief, and
we have heard the same expressions hun
dreds of times from Scotchmen, who, like
the writer above, claim to have been in this
country and acquainted with our working
mems condition. But it is not the fact. We
have visited scores of the homes of workmen
in Scotland, not those of drunken Irish but
of the best-paid skilled laborers We have
rarely found such a home consisting of more
thdil OliC lOOh III oOiliC SACoe lShCiilCilb hOuoS
poorly furnished and ill-ventilated, and to
our eyes entirely without comfort. These
people were apparently contented, and prob
ably believed themselves comfortable, but it
is simply absurd to say they possessed any
thing comparable with the average home of
the American mechanic of the same grade.
We will also add that after five years resi-
dence in Scotland, all the time giving pretty
close attention to the condition of the work
ingmen, and part OF the time in personal in
vestigation of that condition, we are pre-
pared to indorse Mr. Porter's statements as
generally correct and trustworthy" Mr..
Jenkinson's Endorsement of Mr.. Porter's
statement should be an end to the stuff and
nonsense printed in some Indiana newspa-
pers devoted to free-trade ideas, that the con-
dition of European workingmen is as good
as that of American laborers and mechanics.
Such a statement is slanderously and ridicu-
lousy false,
