THE New Albany Public Press, edited by
Mr.. Josiah Gwin, a member of the last
Democratic State central committee, tells the
Michigan City Dispatch that it is folly to talk
of nominating Col. Isaac P. Gray for Gov
ernor in 1884, and adds:
THE best timber in the Democratic party
must be selected for Governor in 1884,; the
party must be unified; small, penthouse poll
ticians must go to the rear; honest, true Dem
ocrats must buckle on the armor, and a
burned sight of other things must be done
before any Democrat can again be elected to
talk, it is humiliating and hard to bear up
under, but you know it's so, and Democrats
must realize the disagreeable fact and wake
up, or Indiana will continue to have a Re-
publican Governor until Democrats are
taught some common sense, and until they
learn to be half decent and worthy of the
confidence of the people,"

THE Terre Haute Gazette, one of the ablest
Democratic papers of the State, has this to
say of the passage OF the metropolitan police
bill by the Democrats of the Legislature:
THE passage of the metropolitan police
bill was the browning infamy. 1t affects only
Evansville and indianapolis. That bill takes
from the citizens of those places the power
to appoint and control their police force, and
places it in the hands of three commission
ers, two of one party and one of another, to
be appointed by the Governor, Secretary,
Auditor and Treasurer of State. All the
citizens have to do is to pay their bills. This
bill is an outrage-it is an especial outrage
being passed by Democrats, who have for the
past twenty years been protesting against the
steps taken by the Republicans toward CEN
tralization of power and against local self
government. If the State is to usurp the
power to appoint police, it can do the same
with the fire department and all the officers
of the city government, 1t can go out of the
cities into the country and appoint township
and county officers. In a word, the principle
Of the metropolitan police bill, carried to it's
logical conclusion, means the GENERALIZATION
Of all political power in the State and the
complete deprivation of the people of all
right to local self-government."

IT is pleasant to note, from incidents which
crop up here and there, that clergymen are
rapidly losing the old habit of humbly ac-
cepting what they can get from their charges
in the way OF salary and being thankful that
the little is not less. A Connecticut pastor,
who was engaged by a Baptist so ciety at q
salary of 81, 800 per year considered himself
worthy of his hire, and protested against a
subsequent reduction of his income to 5000.
He has resigned, but brings suit upon his
original contract for $4,000 back pay, and
will probably get 1t. The society is now
looking for a man heavenly-minded enough
to live upon $500 per year.

IT is painful to note that the same paper
which makes awful structures on the reports
of the Davis Burr marriage, which appeared
in all newspapers, has, in the next col

glowing description of Senator Sprague's
bride, in which her charms of person, even
to her height and "fne figure" are quite
fully set forth. The marvel is that Harper's

on lingerie and feminine paraphernalia in

good morals. Ladies who delight to read

DURING Saturday night there was no as
surance given to the Democrats of any fair
treatment on the metropolitan police bill in
case they passed the general appropriation
bill. Such assurance was sought in vain."-
Daily Sentinel.
Waving for the moment the truth of the
above, will the Sentinel say what the neces-
sity for any assurance was, or what was
the necessity for the passage of the appro-
priation bill on Saturday night at all if its
present position, that the bill was
legally and properly passed on Mon
day, is correct? Why did the Democrats
''seek assurance on Saturday night, if the
appropriation bill could just as we'll be-
come a law on Monday? The Sentine l in
this sentence kicks over the unmitigated
folly it is now emitting from day to day, to
the effect that the appropriation bill was
properly passed on Monday.
But, as a matter OF fact, the Sentinel's state
ment is utterly false. There is
not the shadow OF truth in
it. On Saturday afternoon and night
CNSly pOoSlOlS dSouIduCG was given
the Democrats that there should be no fur
ther opposition to the police bill; that if on
Monday they could control the necessary
number of votes, it should become a law.
The best proof of the good faith of these
assurances is the fact that on Monday the
police bill did become a law, although the
Democrats had unnecessarily and with
malignant purpose, and in pursuance to eau
Gus action, killed the appropriation bill on
the preceding Saturday night. Senator
Magee was assured by Senator Spann, and SO
sentative Jewett and others, and Speaker
Bynum as well, that no factious opposition
would be made. The Democrats had every
assurance, and some of them made
honorable exertion to force Speaker Bynum,
and Mr.. Moody and his crowd of bullies
and bummers from their obstruction in
order to permit the bill to pass. The "Voyles
rule' was allowed to pass in the Senate, as an
additional assurance that the police bill
should not be INSTRUCTED on Mon
day; but it was all of no
use. The bummers once in control, and
State Treasurer Cooper's influence was too
strong; for the defeat of the appropriation
bill meant many thousands of dollars of lille
gal interest to him, and he would come
down handsomely for campaign expenses.
Let Senators Bell, Brown and Magee and Mr..
Jewett be called upon to state what they
said of the action of Speaker Bynum and his
crowd on that Saturday night.

more to o~verturn law and order than all the
criminals of the county could accomplish
in a lifetime, The jury's verdict is as imam
GUS as the double crime itself, and by their
acquittal each and every member has aligned
himself with the accused and become par
ticeps criminis. 1t is useless TO plead that
they were honest in their convictions. The
monstrosity of the crime and the audacity
with which the prisoner proclaimed his part
in it, are such as to render it impossible to
acquit. Dukes should have been hanged,
and popular Indignation must continue so
strong against such a jury that not one of
them shall be allowed longer to live
among the people whose most sacred inter
ests they have betrayed. Mob law is no law.
But how much better is law that operates
to release as dastardly a villain as ever
stained the pages of criminal history? The
men who acquitted, and hus upheld him in
his villainy, deserye social ostracism. No
honorable man should fail to express the
h~eartiest contempt and condemnation for
them. Their infamy should never be for
given nor forgotten. Something of this
kind is imperative to teach jurors that they
cannot betray their sacred trusts without
inviting the lasting scorn of their fellow
men.

The dent corn is the best for general purposes,
and its growth is more natural, the flint corn be-
ing the result of a deterioration in the crop. The
dentis distinguished by a long, soft grain, with
a hollow surface, while the flint corn is of a
plump, round grain, and is very hard. The dent
is the best for feeding stock and general pur-
poses, while the flint is raised chiefly for the
manufacture of hominy.
