THE Courer-Journal thinks Randall has
already met his DR. Burchard in the person of
John E. Green, president of the Louisville
Board Of Trade The former tripped Blaine
on three Rs, and Mr. Green's faux pas was in
declaring that the country had survived fhe
dreadful malady of States rights, the words
quoted being the bette MORE that haunts the
dreams of Mr.. Watterson. 1t is remarkable
that at this late day and date an intelligent,
sobcr-mnded editor can be so foolish as to i'm
agine that the question of States rights, in
the sense used by Mr.. Green, is not as dead
as the traditional mackerel. If not, it ought
to be. Mr. Watterson will hardly go the
length of declaring that States have the right

WHEN Mr. Hendricks remarks to the col
ored brother that, being free and equal with the
white man in respect to civil and political
rights, he ''must now make his own contest
for position and power" does he mean that he
must meet shotgun with shotg-1n' 1t hardly
seems possible the Indiana man of peace
ern usages, but it is not impossible that the
coored brother will so construe the advice.
Perhaps Mr.. Hendricks had better rise and
explain while there is yet time

THE Rev. Heber Newton says his sermon of
last week was entirely misunderstood. In
stead of expressing doubts as to the sanity of
Christ, he had endeavored to prove conclus-
lively that the Master was of sound mind and
judgment. If the Rev Newton explains
much further, his last state will be worse
than his first, An attempt to vindicate the
conduct of Christ is sufficiently conclusive
proof to many minds that one clergyman has
mistaken his calling.

to withdraw from the Union. This is doubt
less what Mr.. Green referred to. No wonder
Mr.. Randalps progress is impeded. If Mr..
Watterson is of opinion that the right to Sc
cede is still alive, he doubtless fears that Ran
dali may preach little wholesome loyalty.

THE Democratic papers are reprinting the
history Of the Democratic efforts at Chicago
to defeat Mr. Cleveland's nomination, in which
Bayard, Lamar and other prominent leaders
of the party took part. Strangely enough,
they omit the name of Mr.. Hendricks, who
was not only in the conspiracy, but was the
man selected by the conspirators to rally
around as the anybody to beat Cleveland.
That the scheme was sckly failure was not

THE Republican courthouse ring built the
temple of justice. If any vaults had been
put in it the rings could not steal the ballots
from time to time and manipulate them in the
interests Of the Republican candidates. They
are stored away in an upper room, with an
open transom over the door, so as not to give
the ballot burglar any trouble. If there were
vaults to secure the tickets the poor burglar
might fail to get them, or he might get caught,
which would be very sad affair.-Sentinel.
The judge of the Criminal Court is Dem
ocrat. The grand jury is under his control.
If Judge Norton has moved finger toward
the discovery and indictment of the scoun-
drels who stole the ballots, we have not heard
of it. If he will do so he shall have
the fullest and heartiest support of the
Journal which has time and again asked for
some effort to be made to find out the perpe-
traitors of this crime. The only parties to be
benefited by its commission were Democrats.
Is that the reason Democratic Criminal
Court allows such crime to be committed
under its very nose and pass it unnoticedf

WHEN Mr. John Mclean says, eff Mr..
Cleveland is as shrewd man as l give him
credit for being, he will avoid Ohio in making
up his Cabinet, because there is such an en-
tanglement in the party there, he takes a
curious way to make himself solid with his
party. If all the Democratic factions IN the
State are ignored, as suggested the result
may be to unite the party, it is true; but the
common purpose which animates them will
be to destroy the Enquirer's editor.

Mr.. RANDALLs safe and triumphant tour
through the solid South will be complete
refutation of the foolish notion that Repub-
lican doctrines cannot be expressed in that
section Of the country with safety.-Chicago
Times.
The prejudice has been not 80 much against
Republican doctrines against the party that
is not Democratic. On an issue between Re-
publican and Democratic ideas, and with a
fair election, Tennessee North Carolina, West
Virginia, Louisiana, and probably Alabama,
would have returned Republican majoritiea in
November last. Mr. RandalPs ideas Of pro.

WE give few choice samples of the frater-
nal greeting extended to Mr. Randall by his
Democratic friend and brother, Mr.. Henri
Watterson, of the Courier-J Journal:
''Mr. Randalls tour is job. 1t is the lay
ing of a train to confuse or divide the masses
of the people by various false lights in order
that the solid squadrons Of Protection,
mounted and mailed, booted and spurred,
may pass through the breach and ride down
the unequipped, undisciplined and ll-officered
raw militia, rough shod. The Democrat who
can not see this as plain as daylight would not
be able to get out of the way of funeral pro-
cession."
''When the time comes for separation of
the sheep and the goats, the noodles and the
poodles who are now licking the feet of Mr..
Randall will be found seeking shelter of the
wolf of monopoly, known as the Republican
party"
'This Randall crusade is menace to your
progress and prosperity. He comes cloaked
as Democrat, but he speaks as a Republican,
and his fallacious reasoning, his uncertain
facts his lame and impotent conclusions,
show that he is Pennsylvania before he is
an American; that he is aboring to perpetuate
a system which, if maintained, will put the
people of the West and South under the iron
heel of Pennsylvania despotism."
''There was not the least obligation on the
part of Mr.. Watterson to slobber over Mr..
Randall if he was not so minded. In treating
him as an enemy, and not as friend the
Courier-J Journal exercised the same right ex-
ercised by those who entertain him. Time
will show whether we have or have not over
stepped the mark of our duty in refusing to be
seduced into a weak acceptance of false issue
of hospitality and courtesy behind which
lurked deadly intent and an insolent spirit.

Colonel Francis w. Parker, who lectured be-
fore the State teachers yesterday, has had a
somewhat checkered career. His birth fell in
New Hampshire in 1897 of line of scholars and
teachers. His father dying, he was bound to a
farmer from his eighth to his thirteenth year,
when he struggled on unaided, working and go
ing to school alternately until his seventeenth
year when he obtained his 6rst school at $l5

The term of Police Commissioner Frenzel
is about to expire, and the State officers will
meet tomorrow to name his successor. 1t
seems to be the general impression that there
will be no opposition to him, but that Mr..
Frenzei will be reelected for the ensuing
three years. Mr., Frenzel is one of the worst
specimens of misdirected energy we know Of
He has fine executive ability and great force
of character. By means of these he has prac-
tically made himself the autocrat of the Board.
The other members are respectable and con-
sentative nobodies, either unable or unwilling
to precipitate conflict with their impetuous
and imperious colleague; and, so it comes
that the police force is thoroughly dominated
by Mr.. Frenzel, and its entire power turned
from the duty of executing the law in the in
terest of good order and public morals, into
the work of a partisan machine, and the ser
want of law-defying and law breaking body
of men. Every citizen and taxpayer of In
dianapolis, who cares sou for the good name
of the city, for the supremacy of law,
the repression of disorder, and the
reduction of the burdens of taxation,
knows that the police administration is farce
and disgrace. 1t is travesty on justice, a
shame to the honorable men who have taken
oaths to administer the trust and positive
injury and curse to the prosperity of
the city. Instead of Mr. Frenzel be-
ing reelected, he should be instanta-
neously removed from office; and he would be,
were it not for the fact thatthe Democratic par
ty is in active and open league with the saloon
orliquor men, and that there are not few Re
publicans whose knees quake like Belshazzar's
whenever an order is sent out from q saloon,
reeking with the fumes of whisky. Mr..
Malott, at least, could have well afforded, for
his own reputation and for the good of the
Republican party he is on the board to repre-
sent, to have protested long ago against
such prostitution of the police power
that it has been made the protector
of law-breakers instead of terror to evil
doors. There is nothing but weakness and dis
asIeI III sCuuleu anu persistent WluklllS dI the
violation of law. The political party that
thinks in that direction lies success will waken
some time to find it has bartered away the
permanent respect of the people for bauble
of temporary triumph. There is nothing
truer in politics, as in morals, than this. He
who most deserves success finally achieves it,
j
We presume, of course that Mr.. Frenzel will
be reelected, to continue as the servant of
lawbreakers; but it is to be hoped that Gov
ernor Porter, as the representative of the law
abiding elements of the community, will have
the courage and the conscience-and he has
both in large degree-to cast his ballot
against the further degradation of the law and
of the police authority of the State.

THE Russian Prince Mestchersky can give the
Mormons points in the way of defending their
polygamous conduct An officer in the RussiaR
army, who had married three women in less than
three years, was tried on a charge of polygamy.
Prince Mestchersky defended the prisoner and,
in an eloquent speech, invoked the example Of
Ivan, the terrible and other celebrated historic
characters, to prove that man may rightly
have several wives at the same time The great
stroke, however, lay in citation of the Russiaa
law, which, though it declares bigamy to bee
crime, is silent as to polygamy On this tech
nicality the offender escaped verdict of moi
guilty being rendered, and he quilted the court
amid the plaudits of the audience with the one
wife who had refused to testify against him
clinging to his arm.
