The Double-Headed Bourbon Tiger.

Again the Bourbon tiger presents itself with
two heads, one at each end. Which is the front
and which the rear of the beast it is not possible
yet forthe spectators to decide When they
turn their eyes to one end. they behold the stall
isle marching toward the goal free trade.
When they transfer their gaze to the opposite
end, they behold the square jawed, bulldog face
of Mr.. Randall, marching toward the goal pro
tectionism The two ends of the animal, under
these chosen leaders, are advancing in opposite
directions. Looking now to the middle part of
the Bourbon quadruped, the spectators see that
the two end sections are held together only by an
attenuated ligatlue that every moment is becom-
ing more thread-like, at any moment may snap
asunder The situation is a critical one, and
goes to be more critical.

Ordinarily the indianapolis Journal displays a
disposition to discuss matters in a catholic spirit
and from the broad stand point of the public
welfare, rather than by exciting prejudices and
slumberng passions to advance the cause of
narrow partisansm. In an excellent leading ed
itorial announcing its programme for the new
year, the journal gave utterance to sentiments
as admirable on general principles as they were
startling to those accustomed to look upon it
merely as party organ. 1t declared that while
it thought the Republican party the best instru-
ment to effect local and national reforms. yet
the journal would not support everything
simply because it bore the party label but re
served the right to fight reprehensible men and
measures both inside and outside of the party
The Journal made the further significant ddmis-
sion that public sentiment would no longer sane
ton or uphold that style of journalism known
as machine organism If in its future career
the journal will adhere to the policy outlined in
its late noteworthy utterance, it will not only in
time make a great and popular newspaper out of
itself but it can do a world of good both by its
precept and example.
The Journal win find that it will be success
full, prosperous, and popular i'll proportion as it
is Independent, liberal, and progressive.

Indiana did great honor to herself yesterday

Morton not only was equal to the occasion but
achieved such splendid results that Indiana was
advanced wonderfully in the estimation of the
entire country. The whole North was enthused
by the enthusiasm of Hoosierdom. Even his po-
litical oponents must now glory in the pluck,
skill and indomitable will of the great Governor.

DIR. Fletcher's marvellous Improvements at the
Insane Hospital are captrap schemes to win

of this is true. A man cannot hope to win the
lasting esteem or confidence of the public by
tearing down the regulations of men to whose
position he had succeeded by means best known
to himself. Nobody disputes the ability or the
humanity of DR.. Fletcher. The journal wishes
to state, mildly but firmly. that, gifted as he is,
he does not monopolize the humanity and ability
of the universe He is simply carrying out
plans that had been long contemplated by Drs.
Evarts and Rogers, and were being carried out
as rapidly as was expedient. DR.. Fletcher is a
man of brains and feeling, but those whom he
has succeeded were not wanting in either of
these qualifications
