COLONEL DUDLEY INTERVIEWED.

He Does Not Regard His Candidacy as Injur-
ious to MIR. Mobiles Interests.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGToN, March 30.-A Washington paper
| has interview to-day with Colonel Dudley on
the Richmond Palladium controversy. Colonel
Dudley is quoted as denying having any special
conversation with Mr. Noble in which he ex-
pressed what is attributed to him regarding his
own candidacy for the gubernatorial nomination.
From newspapers he had learned, and had also
been otherwise informed, that Noble was an
aspirant for the nomination for Auditor of State.
In fact he active candidate for the
nomination before he had any conversation with
him relative to the subject of his own candidacy
Col Dudley also denied that he had been guilty
of bad faith in that he had withdrawn in favor
of Noble, and had afterwards reappeared to his
detriment. He recognized the right of any man
to be a candidate. In regard to his own nom
nation he said that he will not solicit
the support of a single delegate. If his nomina-
ton comes as a voluntary and unsought selection
of the convention he will accept it, and will do
his best to make vigorous and effective cam
paign
"From your statement judge that you do not
think your own nomination will prevent that of
Mr. Noble!" was asked.
mo. 1 don't see how his candidacy depends
on mine, he replied.
'Then you think there is no cause for dissen-
sionF"
'None whatever" he replied. 'It is really not
a matter of any public Importance; simply lit
tie affair in Wayne county There is no reason
why there should be any hard feeling, so far as
can see."
Colonel Dudley does not believe that cand-
dates are to be chosen upon geographical lines,
but that if the Republican State convention
deems Noble a worthy man. it will give him his
coveted nomination, even though he Dudley
also from Wayne county, should head the ticket

PREACHING COMMUNISM.

The Desperate Democrats Seeking to Win
Back the Laboring Men and Mechanics.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-"A counter-irritant
is being applied by the Democrats on the wage
ISSUE" observed a Republican member to- day.
'The Democrats, realizing that the laborers and
mechanics of the country are largely leaving
their party, are working now to win them back"
'Isy what tactcsl"
''They promise a complete abolition of the
customs, and say the government shall be main
tanned by direct taxation. I have just had
talk with labor agitator on the subject. He
has been enlisted. This is his argument: Under
the existing condition of affairs have to pay
just as much toward maintaining the gov
eminent as does William H. Wander
bilt, who is worth hundreds of millions,
while am destitute as last years birds
nest. Now if we abolish the customs and run
the government by direct taxation 1 will pay
nothing, while Vanderbilt will pay thousands.
That's the difference. Then my living will cost
less and his will cost more. will not be taxed
because I'm poor, but he will have to pay for be-
ing rich This thing of running the government
on resources derived from what we individually
consume is all bosh. It's unjust and the work
ingmen will see it some day.
Il asked this labor agitator where he got his
figures, his calculations from, and he replied in
directly, from free trade statistics, l wanted
to know continued this member, ''if he did not
think that he would lose more from his
wages by free trade than he would save by the
reduction in prices of goods now taxed by i'm
port dues. The fellow looked perplexed mo-
ment, then replied: I haven't taken time to cal
culate that, nor do care 1 am not afraid of
my wages being reduced We are not paid any
more than we force out of our employers, any
way. 1t is merely struggle between capital
and labor Capital and labor have their hands
clutched one upon the others throat Labor de-
mands 50 day, and capital closes its grip and
replies that it'll be id if it will pay but 70
cents. So it is. 1 am willing to risk it.
'Well, l suspected something. This was a
new argument to me. l inquired: What kind
of doctrine is thisF Some people call it COM
munism, replied the agtator."
This is the secret of the whole matter The
Democratic party, seeing itself cornered in the
tariff and labor issues, and having wound web
about it until it is ready to toppe and fall out of
sight, has called to its aid the fiery and blood
stained hand of communism. 1t will not be
many days until even the few who have been
caught into the snare will see their doom and
flee from it. The laboring men and mechanics
are too honest and too shrewd to be caught with
O hook baited with communism.

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Measures to Come Up for Consideration in
the Two Houses.

Measures to Come Up for Consideration in
the Two Houses.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-In the House of
Representatives tomorrow, after the usual call
of States and Territories for the introduction of
bills for reference and call of the committees for
reports to be placed on the calendar the consid-
Grafton of the bill for the retirement and recoin-
age of the trade dollar will come up as unfin-
ished business. 1t is thought the discussion of
this measure will continue until
on Wednesday and possibly a vote
will be reached that day. The bill authorizing
the construction of building for the accommo-
dation of the congressional library has been made
the special order of Thursday A number of
prior orders however, if consideration is given
general legislation, will probably prevent
discussion that measure that day. An
effort will be made to bring up the
bill to establish board of commissioners
of interstate commerce and to regulate
such commerce, which was made the special or
certain burdens on the American
merchant marine has been the
special order since March 10, and the
bill for the encouragement of The merchant ma
lations with foreign countries since March IL.
The pension and Indian appropriation bills
are on the calendar, and after the trade dollar
bill is disposed of either of them may be called
up during the remainder Oh the week, or any
time, regardless of special orders
The friends of the tariff bill assert that they
do not know when that measure will be taken
up Mr. Morrison himself says he does not
know when it will be considered.
Mr. Blairs educational bill remains the pnfin-
shed business in the Senate reconsideration after
2 o'clock each day. The naval appropriation
bill will probably be reported to the Senate on
Monday, and if the education bill is not disposed
of within day or so it will doubtless be laid
aside until the naval bill is passed. The bank
and the piuro pneumonia bill still remain the
special order on the days fixed for their consid-

late of the United States cavalry against the
United States, and the decision hinges upon a
very fine point In 1870 Congress passed an act
which provided that one year from the date of
the passage of said act the Secretary of War
should promulgate an order reducing the number
of army officers something like one hundred. 1t
happened that the day one year from the pass
age of the act fell upon Sunday, and the Secre-
tary of War in consequence issued the retiring
order the following day Among the officers
thus dropped was Lieutenant street, who now
claims that the order was Illegally issued and that
he and his brother officers were not dropped
according to law but are still officers of the
army Some of the best lawyers here think that
Street has good case and that he will win. If,
on the contrary, the court shall decide against
him, the question will be carried to the Supreme
Court of the United States. The decision il
awaited with great interest, not only by the sew
enty or more officers directly interested but by
every officer now in the army, for if it is decided
against the United States, all of those dropped
in 1871 will be restored to the rank to which they
would now be entitled had they been continued
in service without interruption

1t Will Not Be Reported to the House Before
the Latter Part of April.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON March 29-Usually at this stage
of sessions of Congress the river and harbor bill
has been reported to the House, and frequently
it has been in the Senate. At this session it is
vast subject, and requires great deal of debate.
1t sometimes takes up months in being perfected
in the House and Senate after it comes from the
committees. 1t always requires weeks of time.
Every little river that can float canal boat, and
every miniature stream that is navigated wants
money to improve navigation and establish har
bors This discussion is mostly done on the floor
of the House and Senate. the committee work
is merely matter of estimation. 1t is import
ant, therefore, that the bill emerge from the
House committee early in the session.
To-day your correspondent inquired at the
House committee on rivers and harbors how the
bill was progressing
sit cannot be reported before the latter part
of April replied the clerk.
"Before the latter part of April" echoed, in
amazement.
Eyes, sir You see the Hennepin canal has
been thrown to this committee, and it is an ele
phantine subject. Then we have been requested
to hold it back that delegations may be heard
on This and that river and this and that harbor
1t may be in May when the bill is reported, ;
continued the obliging clerk.
1t will be remembered that the river and har
Dor bill is the great political omnibus which is
intended to carry or defeat mary congressional
districts, and is the source of distributing many
millions >ef money from the Treasury. This
committee is merely holding back the bill for re-
turns from the out districts It is ascertaining
where help is needed, that its fragrant expendi-
lures may be placed where they will do the
most good. If the bill can be made to serve
purpose political the majority of the committee
would not object to holding it back until mid
summer

the ground that he was confined for two months
in a rebel prison, will be favorably reported, or
that such bill could pass the House Our com
mittee on payment of pensions, bounty and

1t seeks to establish law that any man who en-
listed, was examined, accepted and served in the
army for three months or more during the war,
shall be considered as abebodied when he en-
tered the service, and shall not be required to
prove his physical condition to have been good
before his enlistment before he can receive the
benefits of the pension laws. 1t is
much less difficult for man to prove
that he was disabled in the service
than it is to prove that he was physically sound
when he entered the army and many worthy

received or disease contracted in the army,

the soldiers of the late war as any that are now

drop from the paralytic hand of the law, either
back into society entirely acquit or suffer
only a paltry and rneager penalty, ready soon
to resume their trades. It is the contempla
ton of these things that stirs the blood, and
causes the very stones to rise in a sudden flood
of mutiny, under the excitement and stimulus
of such scenes as Immediately preceded the
Cincinnati pandemonium. People have or
dained law and constituted courts, willingly
paying the expense out of the general treas
ury, to the end that society may be protected,
and that life and property may be safe. Ii
they see law palsied by the faults or crimes Of
its ministers; if they see it perverted; if they
see the courts turned into shambles, where
men may defeat justice either by open cor
ruption or cunning chicane, they are liable to
take the law into their own hands, and in the
doing of that there is danger, especially in
large cities, of just that which has come upon
Cincinnati so direfully.
There is but one remedy for all this, and
that is the uniform answering, equal and
exact enforcement of the law. The very first
thing is for the ministers of the law to obey
it themselves; for men who have an oath upon
their consciences to uphold and execute
the law, to discharge their duty without
fear or favor, and not to wink at any sort of
violence, even in the smallest matters. The
dyke society has built up against the sea of
vice cannot be relied upon if little trickling
streams are permitted to percolate through it,
the excuse being they are too little to be dan
gerous. There must be a correct salutary,
instant and constant public opinion that will
uphold law, and hold officers and people alike
to a proper regard for observance of it. In
the presence of such public opinion, just,
true, equitable, courts, lawyers, jurors
all the agents for the administers
ton of law-will be quickened and
purified. There is no other lesson in the
Cincinnati riots than that righteousness ex-
alteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any
people," No people can laugh at crime, nor
mock at apparently venial sins. He who Of
tends in one thing offends against all. If the
nation would stand it must stand for and upon
righteousness, the right in little as in big
things. Integrity does not mean honesty in a
thousand-dollar transaction alone; it means
honesty in the one dollar and the one cent
matters We shall be wise if we heed the
lesson.

WASHINGTON March 29-The following
Washington special appears in the Baltimore
Sun to-day:
Among the several groups the Democratic side
of the floor of the House of Representatives to-day all
engaged in discussing the Democratic situation,
that attracted particular observation. 1t included
less than four presidential canddates-ex Speaker
Randall ex-senator Mcdonald Justice Field of the
Supreme Bench, and the threeheaded Watchdog of
the Treasury, Representative Holman. Sandwiched
between these four the sturdy and unyielding pro-
tectonist ex-senator Eaton and the fiery Rupert of
the freetraders Henry Watterson. II was universal
ly admitted that if these six could together on
the issues which dividing the Democracy in
the House. there would be difficulty about getting
all the rest of the party to stand the platform
Mr. Randall and Mr.. Watterson were the principal
speakers in the conversation that carried on al
though most of the others did or less talking.
Mr. Watterson especially animated and it ru-
mored that he was pronounced possible in the
opinion and in the hope that the Democratic party
would be defeated in the next presidential election if
did not abandon the policy of cowardice and mac.
ton which the protection wing of the Democratic
party wish to adhere to.
Mr.. Randall thought the other hand that the
Watterson policy would bring certain defeat
Mr.. Mcdonald said nothing and Mr. Holman, true
to his instincts objected to everything that said
The Republicans derived much satisfaction and
from watching the conference in progress
The personal relations of Mr. Watterson and Mr..
Randall are pleasant and kind be imagined.

THE fearful mob spirit still prevails in
Cincinnati. Despite the enormous sacrifice
of life on Saturday night, which surely
should have glutted it, the demon seems
not yet stated, but renewed its work yesteJ~
day afternoon and night, as related in our
special and regular dispatches. Not less
than four or five thousand people
swarmed on the streets in the neighbor-
hood of the Jail all through the day, and
although the mayor had tardily ordered the
saloons closed, and requested all good citizens
to keep within doors after o'clock P. NJ,
men kept getting drunken and drunken, and
the crowds of people became larger and larger.
A public meeting was held last night, but
took no steps other than to call for
another assemblage of citizens this morn
ing A self-constituted committee have
ordered Mr.. Tom C. Campbell the cable
criminal lawyer" who defended Berner, to
leave the city within twelve hours, OF suffer
the consequences. Few less than one hun
dred people, from first to last, have been
killed, and a still larger number wounded.
The destruction of the court house, with por-
ton of the public records, and its valuable law
library, is loss the seriousness of which can
not be easily estimated. Certainly enough
has been sacrificed. There should not only
be vigor enough in the authorities of the city
and State, but there should be salutary force
enough in the people of Cincinnati, who re-
spect law and order and are interested in
public peace, to at once put stop to the ter
rible scenes that have recalled the Paris COM

The Bill to Pension Ex-PrisOners of War
Considered in Committee.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-The House COM
mittee on invalid pensions, by vote of 5 to 4,
decided to report adversely the Price bill to PEN
sion all soldiers who served in the late war at
the rate of twenty two cents per month for each
month of service.
The bill of Mr.. Robinson, of Ohio, to place all
ex-soldiers, who confined in confederate
prisons, upon the pension rolls and pay them 81
per day for each day of Imprisonment was taken
up, and Mr. Matson offered substitute, provid-
ing that pension shall be given any ex Union
prisoner of war whom the board of pension sur
geons shall find suffering any disability, either
general or specific. Also, providing for pension
ing the widow of any Union soldier who was
confined in a confederate prison, and died from
the effects of his confinement, the only evidence
necessary in the latter case to be the testimony
of the physician who attended her husband in
his last illness. After some discussion the sub.
stitute was adopted-5 to g.
