THERE could be no better evidence of the
decentralization of the Democracy in this State
than the fact that they have found it neces-
sary to put Mr.. Hendricks on a special train
during the last week of the canvass, to try
and rouse up the dropping spirits of the faith
full, and that they have also found it neces-
sary to import man who changes his name
and his country, with equal facility,
to arrest, o. it,. possible, the exodus
of Irishmen into the Republican
party. This alleged Irish importation

changed his name and changed his country
as easily as a man changes his coat He took
out his first papers in 1858, and thought so
little of his naturalization that seven years
elapsed before he completed the work by tax

Ireland engaged in business ran for the Office
of poor-law guardian, spent money to get it,
was elected, and took the oath of allegiance to
Queen Victoria. This is pretty man to
bring into Indiana to instruct Irish American
citizens in their political duty.

Rev. JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE says he is
satisfied that Mr.. Cleveland did not lead an
immoral life in Buffalo, the trifing lapse in
the Halpin case, of course, excepted, because
he has seen man who says he has investi-
gated the stories and found nothing in them.
''The man" is young person of the indie
pendent persuasion named Hodges, who, Mr..
Clarke says, was sent to Buffalo by the Bos
ton Advertiser. Now comes the Advertiser
and says it knows nothing about Mr.. Hodges,
and is only aware of the nature of his mission
to Cleveland's home through reading about
him in other papers Poor Mr. Clarke seems
to have been imposed upon but it isn't too
late yet for him to take trip to Buffalo him
self to find out the truth and to "telP' it.

DRs. ALABAsTER and Marine have taken
the unnecessary trouble to write cards because
of the attacks of the Sentinel upon them DR..
AlAbaster assumes cheerfully all "blame"
connected with the address of the ministers
of the city to Mr.. Blaine which address re-
ferred in fitting terms to the foul insult put
upon his honored wife by the Democratic
organ of the State, while DR.. Marine is simple
enough to express the hope that the Sentinel
did not intend to misrepresent him. These
two worthy ministers should know that a
newspaper that does not hesitate to blacken
the reputation of an honored wife and an
esteemed mother and grandmother, and at
tempts to put upon dead babe the stigma of
illegitimacy, would not hesitate to attack the
Christian pulpit. Ministers must not
only expect the yituperation of such hbeler,
but should wear it with pride as tribute
to their ministerial character and Christian
manhood A Christian minister that is not
decorated with the abuse of the Sentinel may
well fear that he has lost savor and is fit
only to be named with such men as Henry
Ward Beecher and James Freeman Clarke

1910, that the Wing papers described stray
COW as 'having cruelty 'Swartwouted' with a
little calf The Democracy of this day does
not begin to know the exceeding weight of
glory it accumulated in the era of irresistible
and unauthorized Jacksonian purity Here
and there an old hard-h head like Mr.
Hendricks or Mr.. Mcdonald could a "tale I'M
fold whose lightest word would make Burn
sides defalcation look like the honorable set
tlement of righteous man, but they never
mention the forbidden names. Mr. Mcdonald
thinks the Slower fraud was not a Democratic
affair, because Slower was out of office when
he stole the State bonds. He was deputy for
State Agent Cravens, though, and his posi-
ton gave him the chance to steal that he
could not have had without it. He found "a
rascally Republican speculator in the New
York Stock Board to help him. Anybody
can find rascally help in any party on that
board any day of the year Hallett could do
nothing without Slower, though Stovercould
and did do good deal without Hallett.
He was no relative of Mr.. Mcdonald,
it seems, though many had that
impression when the latter went to New York
to look after his case; but he was a thorough
Democrat, and in the amount of his
individual frauds very much ahead of
any of his party in this State,
and very little inferior to the classic scoun-
drels of the jackson dynasty Price and
Swartwout. Some of the older readers of the
Journal, the members of the Tippecanoe Club,
can remember seeing a comic cut of Price and
Swartwout running away with great bags of
money in their hands, and below the following
parody on ''Sweet Home, =" then quite recent
song and growing in popularity:

Oh, may be shot if ever go home.

THE latest anesthetic discovered is hydro
chlorate of cocoa, and possesses, it is claimed,
the property, long desired by surgeons, Of
making insensible only that part of the body to
which it is applied, and so avoiding the necessity
of benumbing the entire system, as with ether Of
ehloroform. The discovery was recently made,
accidentally, by Heidelberg student, and New
York physician, who was visiting Heidelberg at
the time, has since experimental with it to his
entire satisfaction. In one instance the anes-
thetic was applied to the eye of blind woman
Oculists then performed difficult and delicate
operation upon the eye, lasting twenty minutes,
during which time the woman felt not the slight
est sensation in the diseased organ. If, upon
further tests hydrochlorate of cocoa proves as
efficient as it's advocate claims it will work quite
a revolution in surgicai methods.

JEREMIAH j. BARKER, a confidential clerk

his position to re-enter law business in Indi-

on the stump. He left for New York yester-
day at the request of Senator German, who de-
