The election of Hon. Dwight NJ Sabin,
junior senator from Minnesota, TO the chair
manship of the national committee, is wise
and happy one and is a cheering indication
OF the sentiment of harmony and aggression
prevalent throughout the party. Forgetting
all past differences, the party goes into the
campaign of 1884 Differed and equipped
the best possible. Senator Sabin
is a man OF great force of character, business
ability, executive capacity. and of the high
est personal standing. He is the president
of the great car works at Saltwater and
when elected as the successor of Mr.. Window
the choice was hailed with acclaim from one
end of the State to the other. There is no
flaw or feck about Mr.. Sabin in any regard.
He is thoroughly hightoned honorable
and capable man.

THE opinion prevails that a party which
does not know the difference between free
trade and tariff reform does not know
enough to run a great government like this.
-Courier-Journal.
That is correct, and it is very evident that
the Democratic party is in a state of hopeless
confusion upon the point. Having elected
Mr.. Carlisle distinctively upon the free-trade
principle, Mr. Carlisle himself having written
to Professor Perry that he would take no
step backward" but would pursue an ag-
gressive policy" all at once, from every
Democratic mouth in the ountry, issues the
cry that they did not mean anything of the
kind. Even Mr.. Mcdonald pipes feebly that
he is in favor of incidental protection"

ant upon its sessions We believe it to be
notorious fact that stranger could not get
glass of beer, or a sandwich, or glass of
lemonade or be shaved, during the sessions
of the convention for less than double the
amount paid by the resident, the two often
standing side by side at the time of the trans
action. With the recollections of 1880 so
fresh in mind, it is a surprise that Chi
cage has been selected. 1t is to be hoped her
enterprising and wide-awake people will see
to it that 1884 makes full amends for 1880,
and that the reputation of the greatest and
fairest city of the nation shall not again be
smirched by paltry pettiness. and worse.

NATIONAL REFORM ASSOCIATION.
Tone of the Resolutions Adopted and Sub
jects of Papers Read.

CLEVELAND, o. Dec. 1.-THE National Re-
form Association, to-day, adopted resou-
tons that God alone is sovereign. He is the
source of all authority and the only fountain
of law. The nation is moral person created
by him. Civil government is His ordinance,
and a magistrate is His minister God, the
Sovereign, has vested the government of the
world in His son, Jesus Christ The Father
judgeth not man, but has committed all
Judgment and law to His son. The nations
are placed under His dominion and in
structed to pay homage to God through Him,
Rejection of Christ the King, is rebellion
against God the sovereign. The Bible is Gods
revealed will and as such its authority
is supreme. 1t recognizes the moral &C.
countabilty of nations and legislators as to
their character and conduct. To ignore the
supremacy of the Bible in civil affairs is to
disown the kingiy authority of Christ Gods
authority should be recognized in the United
States constitution, otherwise the enactment

Dishonest ColIege Students.

OBERLIN, O., Dec. 12-Four young students
in Oberlin College, named Swaggart, Barr,
Dolph and Willett have been arrested for a
long series of thefts in the business houses
Of this city. The two first named were the
ringeaders of gang and were the first to
be arrested. They were caught stealing a
pair of shoes, and upon being confronted with
the evidence of their crime broke down and
confessed duplicating others as we'll as
themselves. They have victimized thirteen
stores, stealing books ink, paper pocket
books, albums, toilet articles, lamps ana doz-
ems of other articles, Much OF the stolen
property was found packed away in their
trunks. The young men who are all under
eighteen years of age, will be expelled
from college, and severely punished in the
courts. =

The impression that Indianapolis could
not care for the national convention was too
strong to be overcome. There is no use in
crying over spilled milk, but we should like
to say this: Had Indianapolis been selected,
the accomm odations would have been ample
and the facilities first class for all the people
who would likely have come, or who had
business to come, to a national convention.
There would have been no great room for
legions of yelling barbarians, with candi-
date to "holler' into prominence; but we
should have had convention made up of
the real representatives of the party of the
nation, who could and would have assembled
here with comparative quiet and composure,
nominated the ticket, made up the issues for
the campaign, and gone home satisfied with
the manner in which they had been treated.
and the circumstances under which they ad
been permitted to do their important work.
At Chicago there is every incentive for a
a great, unwieldy, seething mob of people,
such as there was in 1880. A member of the
national committee, speaking of that con-
vention, said; THE building was turned
over to a certain man who in connection
with some friends, packed the gal
leries for the benefit of Blaine,
politically, and at the same time to
fill their own pockets" He declares that
this man and his associates stole the tickets
belonging to members of the national com
mittee and forged others in large numbers,
and then sold them. He says as high as $40
day was paid for seat in the gallery, and
the men having the distribution in charge
made money out of the transaction. He
says that Mr. Halsey, member of thescom-
mttee from New Jersey, for example, could
aforesaid held twenty-five which belonged
to him, but refused to deliver them.
How true all this may be we have no
means of knowing, but we take it from the
Washington special to the lew York
Crap hic, and it fairly illustrates our point
In our opinion it would have been happy
innovation to have located the convention
in city which would not have attracted so
many outsiders and lobbyists as ofrepresent-
alive, working men of the party. This would
have been the result had the committee
selected Indianapolis. 1t is not good thing
to have it understood that the great national
assemblies of our political parties cannot
meet elsewhere than in two or three cities.

riculturists by stripping manufactures. We
cannot afford to send abroad the $780, 900, 600
now expended at home, nor to produce
twenty per cent. more corn and wheat with
the demand fifty per cent. less The whole
scheme is the work of dreamers and
xperimentalsts. The cry against the pro-
tective tariff is in many instances the specious
plea of demagogue, while in no case will
it bear the light of analysis. The Courier
Journal admits that the Pennsylvania iron
mills have able competitors in the South.
1t also admits that prices have been cut very
low. 1t is reasonable to argue from this
that the Pennsylvania furnaces must meet
these ''cuts'' or quit the business. This is a
damaging fact against the declaration of
such papers that these mills and
furnaces have been realizing
profit of from so to 200 per cent. The time
has come under protection when our manu-
facturers are bidding for patronage Prices
will be adjusted according to supply and de-
mand. There then remains but the choice
of two things: To let American furnaces live
behind a protective tariff, or remove the
tariff and buy of British firms, and if that
does not mean death to American interests it
means nothing.

The New Albany Ledger thinks Hon. John
H. Stotzenburg OF that city, was the author
OF the recent communication printed in the
Sentinel, to the effect that Mr.. Tilden was a
physical iInpossbility as presidential can
didate for 1884, and Mr.. Hendricks a moral
mpossibility; and that however much the
friends of Mr.. Hendricks may regard him
with -noaor, he can never be the nominee of
his party for the presidency, and, therefore,
the. duty of Indiana Democrats is to unite
in pushing Mr.. Mcdonald, who has chance,
before the country.

Mr. AVERY, of New London, Conn, YVES to
have been married to beautiful and charming
young widow of that place this evening. The
engagement had been announced months be-
fore, elaborate preparations had been made for
the wedding, and everybody, not excepting the
neighbors, seemed pleased. On Monday evening
MIR. Avery called at the residence of his in
tended, and told her he wished to postpone the
engagement indefinitely, giving as a reason that
his father was opposed to it. This filial ODE
dience did not strike the community as the
proper caper under the circumstances, and the
young man now finds it convenient to remain
indoors to avoid the jeers of small boys and
sneers of his associates. The indignation of the
young people found vent in the burning of an
effigy of Mr.. Avery with appropriate ceremO-
nles," whatever that may have been. The next
time he is engaged to a widow he will marry her
and let the old man go.

The Republican national committee have
selected the city of Chicago, and the Sd of
June next, as the place and date of the con-
ventiop for the nomination of candidates for
President and Vice-president of the United
States Chicago was chosen over Cincinnati
doubtless upon the ground that it
is pleasanter city at that sea-
son of the year. and also because of
its superior hotel facilities No city in the
country can offer such good inducements in
these two respects; but it is to be hoped that
the convention OF 1884 will not be marred
with the outrages upon proprety and the
rights OF the delegates that marked that of
1880. 1t is not too much to say that a large
number of the visitors came away from
Chicago very thoroughly disgusted with the
impositions and annoyances practiced upon
them. The convention of next year will be
kept within the control of the national COM
mittee, to the end that all sections of the
country and all interests shall be treated
with equality and fairness, and the people of
the city should see to it that tradeSmen

THE advocates of indianapolis were
thwarted in their efforts to secure the ma
tional convention by the efforts of some of
our own people and papers, When it be-
came ont of the question for Indianapolis to
be chosen, the members of the committee
from the West and South united upon Chi
cago. The manifold advantages of Chicago
over Cincinnati are apparent, and, as between
the two places, the choice of Chicago is very
much the better.

they had been correctly reported. Mr..
Beecher responded: II do not charge the
letter-writer with intentional untruth, but
if he had set his wits to work to get away
from the truth to his utmost he could not
have succeeded better 1t is absolutely false,
no doubt but that it is equally false in re-
spect to DR.. Crosby's views" Mr. Crosby
also denounces the statement as untrue.
