AID FOR THE SUFFERERS.
General HarrisOn's Suggestions to Indianians
Making Contributions.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Harrison
recommends, in view of the fact that Secretary
Lincoln has authority to disburse money APP
propriated by Congress to the flood sufferers for
the restoration of buildings destroyed. that the
people of Indiana who are helping the sufferers
confne their charity as largely to money as pos
sble. Their money can be applied to restoring
buildings, and the Secretary of War will aid with
provisions and clothing. If the people will con-
tribute cash, property may be repaired as well as
though aid for that purpose was furnished by the
War Department directly
The Secretary of War has notified General
Beckwith, at Cincinnati. and Mr.. Gushing, at
Pittsburg, to pay out of the funds at their dis
posal the allotment of money made by the Sec
rotary to the mayors of the cities for the .pur-
chase of supplies The total money allotted to
the cities below Ironton, under charge of Gen
eral Beckwith, was $40 OOO and the cities above
Ironton, in charge of Mr.. Gushing, was SOL, $50
Five hundred dollars was also sent to Mr.. Sax
ton, at Louisville, for Jacksonville, and 81 900
to Mayor Bell, of Newport, making grand total
of $S7, $50, independent of the large sums ex-
pended by Generals Beckwith and Saxton in
chartering and provisioning relief steamers.
Many applications have been made to the Sec
rotary of War for assistance out of the relief
fund in re-establishing dwellings destroyed by
the flood. The Secretary asks that public not
fcation be made in the newspapers and the Asso
ciated Press, particularly in those which may
reach the flooded districts, that he is not author
lied by law to use any part of the fund for that
purpose. He is only authorized to distribute
clothing and other personal necessaries.

TEEE PROHIBITION AMENDlHE NT
Alleged Views of ex-Chief Justice Apple
ton of the Proposed Lesislation.

The Bangor Commercial of Saturday pub
lished what were alleged to be the opinions of
ex-Chlef Justice Appleton on the proposed
prohibition amendment to the constitution,
prefacing them with the statement that these
opinions were not obtained from Judge Apple
ton directly but from 'leadng citizens" with
whom he had from time to time converted on
the subject. We submit that opinions obtain
ed in this way ought to be received with great
caution. The number of people in this world
who can repeat conversation precisely as it
occurred are very few. No kind OF testimony
is looked upon in courts of justice with greater
suspicion than reports of conversations. The
change or omission of word often radically
changes the meaning Of declaration. This
statement OF Judge Appleton's opinions given
in the Commercial being in the nature of
hearsay testimony, should therefore we repeat,
be received with caution. We give it however
for what it is WORTH The Commercial says
Judge Appleton has stated that from the
purely legal standpoint the proposed cons,itu-
tional prohibitory Amendments would be an UNI
wise provision. In the first place be has said
that the provision could accomplish nothing
without some special legislation to carry it ill.,
~ NACOtF VI Ii JULIET hOIUb ~ WOuIu 10 8D-
Solutely necessary from year to year to enact
special measures to make the amendment of
any efficiency. In itself the amendment
Sould amount to nothing. If Legislature
should be elected in favor of free rum nothing
whatever, could be done to restrain the LIQUOR
traffic. II legislation could then accomplish
anything on this question it could be accom-
plished just as we'll now as after the amend
ment had passed., as everything will have to
depend upon the will Of each new Legislature.
But the strongest and most important point
Judge Appleton has advanced is, that in his
opinion, such an amendment to the constitution
as is proposed will at once annul all existing
legislation on that subject. There would not
even be as much restraint of the liquor traffic
as at present, because unless the first and each
follo"ing Legislature made special provisions
Tor carrying out the amendment, there would
practically be no law ON the subject at all.
After the amendment is passed, unless the
Legislature is in sympathy with it, there would
not even be the restraint of a license law.
Judge Appleton has further said that he can
sea no more reason for Constitutional Amend
meDt.on this subject than in regard to adultery
or murder, or any other crime.
From what Judge Appleton is reported to
have said at various times the Commercial in.
fers that he believes that, upon the whole, a
high license law would be the best policy for
Maine to adopt in dealing with the liquor
question.

The Cincinnati Riot.

The terrible riot N Cincinnati which has held
that city by the throat for two CT three days
is not an unaccoutable demonstration. The
immediate cause there is no question about.
A murderer whose crime was peculiarly
black and horrible had been let off by iury
with verdict Of manslaughter, TO the sur
prise of the court and people. With nearly
score of criminals who had taken life In
jail awaiting trial, this result in one of the
most fiagrant cases awakened a feeling of
indignation throughout the city. and in an
evil hour mass meeting to express con-
demnation of the jury's action was called by
sober-minded men who had no thought,
much less any intention, OF arousIug the I'M
comfortable spirit which quickly took the
matter out of their hands and has made a
scene comparable with the orgy of the Paris
commune or the wickedness of the draft
riots in New York
The mischief that has been done In meal
culable 1t is not simply the loss of proper
ty of the loss of life that is to be regretted
but it is the alarming exhibition of defiance
of law and order, the spectacle of the COM
mune taking possession of an American
city, holding the legitimate authorities al
bay, and wreaking an insane passion with
out responsibility or restraint. The MAORI
ty of the people who constitute this mob are
beyond question the very o1es who by neglect
of duty brought about that condition of pub
lie sentiment which made the jury think it
safe to defeat the ends of justice and let q
murderer escape the righteous penalty of
bis crime. For years Cincinnati has been
going downward in respect of morality and
pubkc virtue. Probably there is not city
in America more given over to corruption
and vice, nor one where virtue, and temper.

The Lewiston Journal has made n can
vass OF the prominent manufacturers of
Maine to ascertain their views on the Morri-
SOD tariff bill. Three questions were sub
mitted, namely: What would be the effect
on business of the passage of the Morrison
tariff bill? What effect upon business al
ready has been produced by the tariff agita-
tion9 What is the sentiment OF the Maine
Democracy in regard to Nrorrison's ftve list
and tariff for revenue only? Thirty-three
replies are received to the first question and
all with the exception of three strongly con-
denim the Morrison bill and express the
opinion that its results would be disastrous,
OF the three who disagree with the majority
one sis not clear in his mind that at the pres
ent time high protective tariff is for the
best interest ofthe country and majority of
the people thereof" He is inclined to adopt
Gen. Hancock's view that the tariff is Go
cal question" Another of the dissenters
from the majority says he ioes not object to
the Morrison bill proper, but the cheap to-
bacco and brandy addendum meets his
reprobation. The third diss enter is evident
ly rabid free-trader of the Henry Waiter
son stripe and describes the high tariff sys-
tenn as System born in niquity, for the
benefit of the rich to the detriment of the
poor" The second question which relates
to the effect of tariE agitation on business is
not SO generally answered as the first, but
the replies are substantially unanimous 10
regarding the agitation as injurious to bust
ness. AS TO the sentiment of the Democra-
cy the replies are conflicting, but On the
whole the sentiment seems to be that the
Democrats are in favor of low tariff on ar
ticles they want to buy aud in favor of a
high tariff on articles they wish to sell. The
most unique reply to this question comes
from the Hon. Philsnder Tolman of Harri-
son who Gays the democrats in this neigh
borhood believe just what the Argus teach
es in regard to tariff or anything ese."
From this we are led to infer that the Dem
oerats of Harrison are INDUCING in the pain

The majority of the Senate evidently do

the matter is the fact that the most violent

which would be the most benefited blythe
Dill. Mr.. Vance's attack upon the bill was
exceedingly bitter, and his attack on Massa-
