Review OF the Local Grain, Produce, and
Provision Markets.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 81.
Merchants report the jobbing trade TO be in
satisfactory condition, neither excited nor dall.
There is not rush sufficient to induce reckless
ness, nor is there anything to note of q dis
couragine character. No one is throwing goods
upon the market at dangerously low figures;
neither Is there disposition shown to insist on
large profits. The weather is good enough; crop
news grows better daily, and confident tone
prevails, and Indianapolis Is a good place TO
trade with. Grocers report trade as steadily
improving Sugar and coifees strong at quota

THE ONE DANGER IN OHIO.

Judge Huadly has at last returned to Ohio,
and the Democrats will doubtless make des-
perate effort in these last days, to carry the
State. There is one week left and one week
is abundance of tinu for the work they and
their allies, the grog-shOp keepers, are ready
to do. The Republicans of Ohio are not IN the
habit Of making mistakes, and We believe they
are on their guard. But this is time when
over confidence is especially easy, and espe-
cially dangerous. No candidate was ever placed
in a more ridiculous and Illuminating position
than Judge Hoadly has been, by his own utter
apces. No party ever saw the tables so COM
p.etely turned upon itself as the Ohio De-
mOcracy by the striking success and popularity
of the Scott law, which it opposed SO bitterly.
The law reduces taxation $2,OOO,OOO, ana
closes thousands of low grCggeries. thus help
ing morals and tightening public burdens at
the same time. Yet these very reasons for con-
fidence on the part of the Republicans are rea-
sons for fnal desperate struggle on the part
OF the Democrats.
Judge Hoadlys supporters are hoping now
that the Republicans will be so confident that
they will fail to get their full vote out. On the
other hand, the Democrats will strain every
nerve to bring out al their votes, and Will buy
al many more as they can. The Chief scandal
of the campaign has been tho charge brought
against the Democratic candidate by Dem
ocrats. that he obtained his nomination by
corrupt methods. If this be SO, he is not likely
to be less scrupulOus in trying for an election,
and he is a man of large wealth. Second, the
huge machine of the liquor interest all over
the State will work at high pressure for him.
The Republicans need to work and watch until
election night.

POLLING THE HOUSE.

The partial canvass of the new House OF
Representatives, which appears III our Wash
ington correspondence seems to put beyond
doubt some things which have heretofore been
a matter OF conjecture only. The most iu-
portaut of these is the determination OF o
large portion, at least, OF the Democratic ma
iority to demand reOpcning of the tariff,
which is hardly in working order yet The
canvass is not complete, of course. Members
who are anxious for good chairmanships are
apt to be wary, with the election OF Speaker
sill two months of. But the Democrats who
do respond number 70, or over 40 per cent Of
all and of these only four are willing to say,
in answer to a direct question, that they are
opposed to q renewal OF the tariff agitation,
while 81, or more than one quarter OF the
whole number eected-191-Openly favor it.
Here is one-fourth, then, OF the majority
already committed to war on the tariff,
regardless of disturbance to business interests,
and if they do not carry their party with them
they can still make clatter enough to alarm
and depress trade and manufactures. 1t is by
no means certain yet that they cannot carry
the party with them, though it is true that
the managers in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia,
New-Jersey New-YOrk and other States are
doing their best to suppress the tariff issue
altogether The stand of the Republicans is
quite different, of course. All of the Al
Republican members of the House who are
quoted here are opposed to a general revision
of the tariff, evidently believing that we
should first get our bearings with the new
duties before making any further changes.
OF the many points touched upon, another
shows important results. Sixty-threc OF the 70
Democrats respondng-Or four-ffths-are OPP
posed to a repeal of the compulsory feature
of the Silver Coinage act. Only four favor it,
Substantial unanimity like this means that the
coinage of 100000 month of useless
silver must go on so long as the present House
is in existence. No intelligent observer ex-
pected anything better Of the new majority,
but it is of considerable interest to have the
proof in black and white. OnIv four of the
Republican members responding are opposed
to repeal The Republican party is the party
of safety and wisdom in all practical questions
of government.

its poorer neighbors. Aside from this difficulty
there are many other obstacles in the way OF
union. A feeling equivalent to what Is known
here as "State rights" is prevalent in oil the
provinces, and it win be hard to persuade them
to surrender any portion of their sovereignty
to federal government, even though con-
WINGED that 1t would be beneficial.
This difficult problem is made more complex
by a conviction on the part Of some OF the col
onists that the connection with the British
Empire is prejudicial to the best interests OF
Australia. This feeling is latent, but 1t Is a
factor in molding public opinion. The Aus
tralian colonies are taking position OF lmpor-
lance In the world that makes NECESSARY some
radical changes in their political condition
and the federation of the several provinces into
one grand southern republic seems the most
natural solution of the problem.
