TIE ALIEN LAND LAW.

The Generel Assembly that chose Gene raj
Harrison a United States Senator also
passed an alien land act, permitting foreign
capitalists to hold real estate In Indiana,
There was regular snd special session in
1881, and to repeal the dishonest measures
1t materialized into Law, consumed most OF
the time in 1888, the Democratic Legislature.
More hurtiul than ever the alien land Law
was the law settling estates which robbed
decedents. But from ditohing to the dog
tsx, as fast as the General Assembly could
get arou nd to them, they were repealed.
Mr.. ]. G. Blsine's Saturday Herald says;
The repeal Of the alien lsnd act will come be
fore the Legislature, II is not known what will
be its fate. The Democrats are not committed on
il. either for or against. But we may indulge the
nope that enough OF them Will act with the Re
Dublicans TO repeal the allen land law.
il nov stsuds on the statutes as concession %
absentee landlords. IL Is sep backward.
To pledge to repeal an alien land law is
something Democrats did not have to do.
That species of bsrnacle never attaches to
the ship Of state when it was under Demo-
cratic officers. The holder of American
soil by foreigners or cooperate interests is
peculiarly Republican.

Dealing with Barbarisns,


A man OF brutal instincts gets drunk, and
failing to provide the necesssries of life tor

to Il isil or workhouse, where he is more
comfortably provided for than he would
provide for himself.
Just such case is reported in Louis
vile. Just such cases are reported here or
there nearly svery day in the year. Is the
punishment adequate 20 the offeDse7 Does
1t have the slightest refornatory effect upon
the brutal offender7
The lash would make the wretch squirm.
He would remember IL with q shudder. he
would not be apt to repeat his festive spree.

deal with q barbarian, TO be effective Its
methods must be adapted to the case.

NOT A HRATHEN.

We have been almost persuaded into the
belief thst our new President was positive
heather not OF the Ingersoll type, exactly,
bat Of the dOn'tcare-a.slap brand. We have
only Republican authority, however, for the
opinion. The press OF that party created
the bsllef that Mr.. Cleveland never
went TO church, and that bis Sundays
were spent in carousing and cumming
around Albany. We would not be sur
prised, however, from some recent intelli.
gence that he will go to church occasionally
and be altogether quite IS moral in his walk
and conversation as our old friend Blaine
and other good Republicans. Old Ben Perly
POOre says IN some recent correspondence
that President Cleveland will attend the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, the
present pastor OF which is Rev. William
Alvin Bartlett, who was his college classmate.
President Lincoln used to attend the Presby-
teTisE Church, when hs went anywhere
which was seldom. Grant and Hayes were
Methodists, Garfield attended the Christian
Church, and Arthur worships st ST. Johns
Episcopal Church, where he was married.
DY. Bartlett was al one time pastor Of the
Second Presbyterian Church Of this city.
Notwithstanding the recent structures upon
the good Doctor by our esteemed but erring
contemporary, the Journal, we are of the
opinion thst the good Doctor viii, perchsnce,
keep an eye on the new President aud see
that he does not stray into forbidden paths.
In fact, TO be short, we believe that the new
President possesses more pure religion and
Christianity to day than James G. Blaine
plus all the Republican Presidents put to
petheg.
