the House of Lords was actuated by the same
bitter hatred of the Liberals as in 1892 Who

They were no better than their fathers. Some
of them were worse, for their privileges had
produced ignorance and arrogance. The reform
of the House of Lords, Mr.. Bright declared was
urgent and inevitable. The creation of new
peers to carry the franchise bill would only get
rid of the present difficulty. What was wanted
was limitation Of the veto power of the Lords

of Englandl Mr.. Bright then explained the
manner in which he would like to soc the power
of the Lords restricted. He would allow the
peers to retain their present powers during the
present session, but he would absolutely pre-
clude them from vetoing the franchise bill. or

would think him too lenient to the peers, but
he preferred remedies which, while effectua

A GREAT OFFER
The WEEKLY JOURNAL
for the Campaign at
% CENTS

In order to place the WEEKLY INDIANA
STATE JOURNAL in the home of every Repub-
hcan in the State, and thus do good campaign
service for the Republican party, we have de-
cided to send the paper till after the presiden-
tial election for % cents.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is complete family
newspaper It is specially edited, and much
Of the matter appearing in it is especially pre-
pared for the wants of the weekly readers II
is compendium Of the NEWS OF THE WORLD
from all quarters it has full and accurate mar
ket reports; its editorials are political, social
and general; it has the news Of the State
and Of the city. Its literary and miscellane-
ous features are of the best.
The WEEKLY JOURNAL is a newspaper that
should be in every family in Indiana, and at
the price named for it there is no reason why
It should not be, at least during the exciting
and important campaign upon which the
country has now entered Political com
mittees cannot do better than to see that
copies of The WEEKLY JOURNAL are placed
in the hands of those persons in their
counties who are not now readers Of
some sound Republican paper The
tariff question is the one issue which
is likely to be most prominently dis
cussed, and to this the Journal pays especial
attention, advocating the maintenance Of the
principle Of protection to American industry
in whatever revision Of the tariff laws may be
made necessary in the future developments Of
business and labor. In this question the
larrning community is deeply interested, and
the discussions of the journal will be
largely directed to the agricultural aspects Of
the question.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is the only paper in
Indiana that publishes regularly Ten Pages,
and this will be continued throughout the
campaign, despite the low price. Send in
names at once, either singly or in clubs, and
thus get the full term for the money.

Eight days have passed and the Buffalo Cleve-
land organs have not yentured a hint that the

prominent Cleveland organ in this State has pu
in any sort of denial Not even an authoa
tative whisper has been uttered against IN
charges. The Buffalo Express, which supported
Cleveland for mayor and Governor and declared
him to be the best man the Democrats could
name for the presidency, has not intimated that
the story is false but has merely deprecated
criticism of private character in political cam
paign. Does any one doubt that the Express
would have promptly branded the story as a
monstrous lie if it had been groundlessl Ger
tainly it should have hastened to clear the
name Of the man it has delighted to honor, if
there was a chance for that. The story has not
been denied. This is not because it came from
an irresponsible source. There is no more re-
sponsible clean and reliable paper in Buffalo
than the one which told the Terrible Tale tt
has not been denied, simply because the ablest
talent at the command of the Cleveland man
ayers could not devise lie to meet it that would
materially help their case. Seval schemes of de-
Tense have been outlined as we are
informed but they have been aban-
doned one after another as untenable It
has been gwen out in general way that the wo-
man was impure, but even this has not been
stated authoritatively. If that should be proved
and we do not admit that it could be-enough re-
mains to deprive Grover Cleveland of the sup
port of all decent, thoughtful men. Skilled men
are now at work trying to devise defense, and
one of some sort may yet be attempted But
the long delay is in itself confession that the
case can not be fully met and any statement to
confront such charge coming hereafter must
be shorn of weight by the fact that it took SO
much time to prepare it. The charges were bold
and explicit If the man against whom they
were made were at all fit to be President of these
United States, they could have been denounced
here at his home within twenty-fours And
they would have been The simple and awful
fact is that Grover Cleveands gross selfshness
and hbertnism can not be successfully denied
If necessary, more can be told. The Telegraph
will do its whole duty.

bombs were not for use in Birmingham, but in
