PLUMED KNcW-NoTa1NGs.

1t has come to light that if You scratch the
backs OF some OF the "Plumed Knights OF
the country you will find Know-Nothings
beneath. This is true concerning the boss
Plumed Knight undoubtedly. Blaine is an
old Know-Nothing, and are many of his
followers. Quite a revelation in this line has
been made recently at Elmira, n. Y. The
expose has been made by the Gazette of that
city. 1t says that from careful investigation
by its reporters 1t has ascertained that the
order is simply revival OF the old Know.
Nothings, but that many even of the Plumed
Knights themselves do not know this, as the
body is composed of two degrees or circles
an inner and an outer circle. The outer Gil
Gle is a mere political club, to which foreign
ers are admitted, and is kept up mainly as s
blind to hide the real object of the order
The inner circle is composed entirely of
Americans who favor Known othingism.
The oath administered to candidates of
the outer circle merely pledges those who
take it to vote and work for Blaine and Lo-
gan. The oath of initiation to the inner
circle is materially different and Is an alb
breviated form of the old Know-Nothing
oath. 1t is as follows:
You, of your own free will and accord,
in presence of these witnesses, do solemuly
promise and swear that you will not make
known to any person any of the signs, mys-
teries, secrets or members OF this order; that
you will support James G. Blaine, of Maine,
for President of the United States, and John
A. Logan, OF Illinois, for Vice President OF
the United States, in the coming contest and
election, and that you will use every means
to have them elected, no matter to what end
you may be compelled to resort, and that
you will use every endeavor to perpetuate
the power OF the grand old Republican party,
and that YOU will not vote for any man for
any Office unless he be an American born
citizen in favor of American-born citizens
ruling America. Do you solemnly swear"

MAJOR CALKINS.

Inswinging around the circle MAJOR Calkins
touched Indianapolis Saturday night, and,
of course, made speech. In fact, his COM
ing had been literally advertised and moth
ing was left undone that would in any
way create enthusiasm and bring out
the people. But as the local de-
partment viewed the landscape DER from
several points of observation, we respect
fully refer our readers to its account of the
procession and the other demonstrations in
honor of Mrs. Duncan's prosecutor. 1t will
be found to be a clear. graphic and
truthful report OF an outpouring of peo-
pie who did not outpour as literally as was
calculated upon, 1t was, however, very
respectable appearing aud well behaved
gathering, the sprinkle of Democrats there
mixed in giving the affair tone and standing.
As dramatic effort Major Cslkins' speech
was success, but in all else it was the worst
kind of rhetorical rubbish. He submitted
no proposition pertaining to the science OF
government nor argued none. He made
broad assertions, but furnished no proof
to substantiate them. He gave credit to the
Republican party for the natural in
crease in individual and national
wealth in the past quarter of century and
claimed it as the source of every good and
perfect gift that the people enjoy. The civ
ilization of the age in which we live, and
almost the credit of establishing the Chris
tian religion upon the earth, we're also put
down by this great and good man as having
been born of the party to which he belongs,
and but for it and himself the people of In
diana must now be in a state of semibarbar-
ism.
1t is amazing that man of such feeble
temper, and one who has drank only shall
low draughts from the spring of political
economy and historical events, should so
get the start of better men in his party,
and bear the palm alone. Yet he has done
it, and to-day he stands upon the high
pinnacle of party leadership and commands
his followers to 90 to battle under his
flag. How true are the lines: MAN,
vain man, dressed in little brief authority,
plays such fantastic tricks before high
Heaven ss make the angels weep"
1t is evident that Major Calkins reads
nothing, hears nothing, learns nothing,
knows nothing Of the theory of this or any
other Government. He is in short the most
| superficial individual in those things which
go TO make statesmen that ever demanded
political preferment at the hands OF any
| party. A funny story well told is, in

in the cost of building houses-the mechanic,
the day laborer-in fact all who pay rent.
With this statement of the case we proceed
to consider the tariff taxed articles that enter
into the construction of the houses of Indi-
ana. For each of the %. 900 houses annually
erected, the average cost of glass will be not
less than $40. upon which the tax is IS per
cent. The average cost for locks. bolts,
hinges, sash-locks, sash-weights aud nails
will be S45. These articles are taxed IS per
cent. The cost of white lead and paints will
average per house $40. These are taxed 81
per cent. And the tin required for each
house will average SIS, and this is taxed "a
per cent. And the average cost of galyan-
lied iron per house is estimated at $40, which
is taxed 30 per cent. To enable our readers
to comprehend the amount OF tariff tax paid
annually by the people of Indiana on the
houses erected, we introduce the following
tabuated recapitulation:

DOXEY.

Hetrodoxy has been defined as mot our
doxy." This Doxey that we are going TO
talk about is not our Doxey either-that is,
he is not Democrat. We are pleased to
state that he is a Republlcan-full blooded
and one of the leading members OF that
church sitting in the amen corner and APP
parently the ''slickest' and most devout
lamb in the fold. Doxey is daisy. 1t is
meet that he should be running on the same
ticket with Calkins, Blaine, Bruce Carr aud
Eugene Bundy. He would trot well in
double harness with any one of them.
Doxey is running for Congress in the Ninth
District. His opponent, Judge Ward, is so
immeasurably his superior that they
should not be named together during the
same hour. This district contains a
splendid population, and the Republican
portion OF it is first-class in every respect.
Their leaders, however, are terrors. They
inflicted Doxey on the ticket. The better
class kicked" Poor Lingle-one of the
best men in the State week ago-a personal
and valued friend of the writer-laid away
yesterday in his grave until the resurrection
morn-what had he to say of Doxey and the
clique which forced him to the front? Mr..
Lingle said a few weeks ago: "Mr. Doxey and
his friends exaggerate their importance ex-
ceedingly, much so. if they think we lie
awake of nights to take counsel of our re-
venge. When in low.down conspiracy,
while our son lay dying they sought not
only to remove US from loffice,
but to degrade and dishonor. we
had been more than human to have
felt no resentment, but content with their
humiliation and our simple vindication, we
put all this behind us. When months ago
we were reliably informed that Doxey, in
violation Of his word of honor to Senator
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1884-09-10
Here we have for articles which cost $50 a

Here we have for articles which cost $50 a
tariff tax of S56.S6; tax which, when laid
upon the $4,000 houses annually built in
the State of Indiana amounts to the sum of
81, 421, $50 a year. In these estimates we
have studiously kept largely within the
limit of fact-indeed we have omitted such
articles as mantles and chandeliers-as also
all reference to repairs and rebuilding. We
have also omitted the expenditure annually
for plate-glass, which reaches in Indiana
about 100000 a year, upon which the tax
ranges from 63 to Ill per cent. Were these
by the people of Indiana in the one item
of building houses would come well
up TO S2OOO,OOO. Protectionists and mon
opolists are in favor OF perpetuating this
enormous burden of taxation, which goes to
enrich the few. The demand is that this
burden shall be reduced; that the tax col.
lected shall go into the Treasury, and not
into the pockets of monopolists. The peo-
pie of Indiana are becoming earnest in their
protests. Those who want PROJECTION will
be required TO come out boldly with their
scheme. They will be required to state the
character of the monopoly they propose to
protect. Glittering generalities won't do;
quoting from ancient history won't answer
the demand. The Constitution provides for
a tariff for revenue. not for protection, and
the sine has come for facts; fiction has had

his estimation, unanswerable argument, aud
the applause over bit of clownish acting
Endorsement of his political record and
pledges of further support. The intelligence
of this State demands something higher
than that, Major Calkins. You may amuse
the people, but you do not convince them
that you should be elevated to the highest
Office within their gift, neither do you i'm
press them that your range of thought goes
much beyond the relm of comedy and the
ludicrous.
The Major is very fond of liking the DEM
ocratic party to the children of Israel in
their wanderings in the Wilderness and he
is especially fond of telling his hearers how
the Democracy have been wandering for
twenty-four years, and how they have six
teen moro years of weary wandering in the
wilderness before the allotted forty years is
ended. 1t is a most happy Illus
tration, comparing the Democracy to
the children of Israel, and we
desire to thank the Major for it, and we also
desire to remind him that the wanderers
were the Lords own chosen people; that He
chose them out of all the people of the
earth, because they could be relied upon in
a far greater degree than any other party or
sect, and that, although He felt Obliged to
chsstise them for their sins OF omission and
commission, He eyer held them in the hol-
low of His baud and never abandoned them
for even the fractional part of moment.
We also desire to call the Majors atten-
ton to the historical fact that although the
Lord permitted the Canaanites to occupy
the Promised Land longer than was first in
tended, that He might discipline his beloved
chosen children, His contempt and hatred
for the inhabitants Of Canaan and their
thieying propensities. their protective tariff
laws, which gave a few wool and grape
raisers an iron-clsd monopoly of those
branches of the industry of the country,
their vile, dishonest, and rascally political
methods which kept the party in power the
masters of the people and the peoples inter-
ests in opposition to and in violation o. ev-
cry principle ofright; that His contempt and
hatred for the Canaanitish Republican par
ty, we say, never abated or cooled off in the
slightest degree in all the years He was lead
ing His beloved Democrats slowly but surely
toward the Promised Land.
We also desire to say to the Major that
the head OF the column of the chosen people,
namely, the Democracy, has reached the
Jordan, and the passage of the river has
begun, and on the 18th day of November
next both Jericho and Al will fall aud on
the 4th day of March next the wanderers
will take full possession of the whole land,
even that which was promised 10 their
fathers, and the Canaanitish Republicans will
be driven out to return no more forever.
Major, search the Scriptures, then turn and
see the handwriting on the wall.
