Senator Harrison as Dark Horse.

Evansville Journal
Since it is evident that a dark horse will in
all probability be selected at Chicago owing to
the weakness of Mr. Blaine in New England, of
Mr.. Arthur in his own State, and the other can.
didates away from home, the friends of Senator
Benjamin Harrison in Indiana and elsewhere are
canvassing his claims with renewed vigor 1t is
argued that he would certainly carry his own
State, which is one of the doubtful ones upon
which the result of the election depends, and
that he is very strong in Ohio, an October State,
where the result i'll that month will have a
powerful influence upon the presidential
contest His historic name would be a
source of great strength, while his record as
legislator and friend of the civil service reform
and sound principles of finance would render
him popular amongst the independent Republic,
ans of the East
Senator Harrison has not antagonized the 9th,
prominent presidential aspirants, His course
has been eminently iudciOus. He has brilliant
military record. AS member of the Uni.
ted States Senate he has been industrious, use
full and practical. He has national reputation,
and record as an individual and statesman that
is unassailable There is no reason therefore,
why he should not rise into prominence for the
presidential nomination.

The Greatest Show Extant,

This is the reputation of the Universal Ex-
position" Of the Sells Bros, and from what we
learn by the general press of the country, the
name is not misplaced. They have circus and
hippodrome of enormous magnitude, embracing
a company of equestriennes and general per-
formers of the highest celebrity. a comprchen-
sive museum and geological department that
embraces an amalgamatiOn of three extensive
menageres In the latter there are more rare
animals than have ever before been crowded in
one exhibition There is an exhaustive variety
of strange and exciting performances advertised,
and this company remarkable for keeping
visit the show will not be disappointed.
1t will be at indianapolis to-day and tO-mor

A Taste of Democratic Reform.

Lafayette journal, Monday, May s.
The desperation of the Democrats in the city
was eyinced Saturday afternoon in a manner SO
highhanded and outrageous as to merit the
severest condemnation. All the employees of the
city were assessed one-half of months salary.
In order that they may have the money to pay
their assessments, Especial session of the Council
was called to make allowances, though the regu-
lar meeting is tonight, and allowances could then
have been made. But this would not have been
in time to make the assessments available, ana
hence the unseenlly haste to have the thing done
Saturday. To enforce the attendance of
quorum two members of the Council were ar
rested-Mr Dealy and Mr.. Herzogg

In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. Edmunds intro
duced the bill to place Gen. Grant on the retired
list Of the army with full pay of a general. The
financial lossswhch the General is said to have
met with by the failure of the Marine Bank in
New York was the immediate cause of p rein
troluction of this measure in Congress. Wheth-
or Gen Grant has lost a dollar by this failure,
he should be placed on the retired list with a
generals pay, and it should be done promptly.

The Democrats of Marion county have finally
got even with the Republicans with the proba-
bi1ity that they will score one ahead On last
Saturday they nominated a man for chairman of
the county central committee who we under
stand, is an ex-saloon keeper. OF course the
this, but if it were a Republican he would
parade it with great pictures, Like Luther Ben
son, when the Democratic party panders to the
Liquor League he is blinded to the evil of it, but
if in a single instance the Republican party
panders to it he parades it with great pictures
Unless the editor of the Monitor-J Journal can act
with more decency the temperance people of the

The Saloons Back Door.

Richmond Palladium.
A whisky seller may keep his saloon open if he
wants to, but if no one sees him sell whisky and
reports him he cannot be punished. This is
where the beauty of the back-door system comes
in. There is not city of any size in the State
of Indiana where the saloons are not open the
back way on Sundays The innocent police
man stands in front and stares at the closed
front doors and shutters. He never suspects
that whisky is going out the back way by the
pint, the quart and the jug full. Not he He
sees no whisky sold therefore, he can make no
arrests. Isn't this pretty state of affairs! Is
it any wonder the temperance people of Indiana
are disguised with law that was gotten up and
is administered with especial reference to the
whisky men desiresl

Whenever the Democratic party has come into
power as it did in 1874 and in 1882, the first
thing it deems it necessary to do is to threaten
the business interests of the country. 1t started
the Potter committee in 1878 with a view Of
BUSTING Hayes, an attempt which Alexander H.
Stephens declared would end in a farce or a
tragedy-and it ended in farce. No sooner
are they again seated in power than they again
alarm the industrial and business interests of
the country by another raid which has also
come to nothing

There is nothing so characteristic of the
American people as their custom of relapsing
from an extreme sentiment for the summary
punishment of criminals to mawkish feeling of
pity for them. One would think that the peo-
pie of Cincinnati, for instance would for years
to come advocate the severest penalties for all
violators of the law but such is not the case
Already the judges who since the riot have been
imposing heavy sentences, are complaining that
their efforts to punish crime are thwarted by
this strange conduct on the part of citizens.

1t Is So Everywhere.
Logansport Journal.


Democrats took possession of the city govern
ment and during the three following years the
administration of the city affairs was tremen-
dously and VIGOROUSLY bad. The floating debt
increased, city orders deprecated from % to 90
and 70 cents on the dollar, and, worst of all, the
payment of interest on the city's bonded debt
frequently defaulted. The city was practically
bankrupted. Interest funds, sinking funds, and
many other funds a reckless Council could lay its
hands upon We're unscrupulously squandered,
while the good name of Logansport was dragged
in the mre all over the country

Evansville Courier (Dem)
There is but one hope left now and this IS in
the action of the Democratic national conven-
ton. If it takes advanced grounds upon this
question, beyond even what was contemplated
by the Morrison bill, the Democrats may yet
sweep the country in November next. But if it
temporizes or eauivocates we shall be defeated.
The Republicans will then take the issue away
from the Democrats will win on it in 1858, and
thus extend their lease OF power indefinitely.
