so, and those who are of the opposite opinion,
evince willingness to accept or reject this
augury according as the needs of the party
may indicate. If the Democratic editors of
Kentucky insist on incorporating goose-bone
plank in the next Democratic platform, be-
lieve it can be done so neatly as to obviate all
possible dissension. Indeed, if such a doc
tline be forced upon us, doubt not it would
be very popular"
''And what of the Decalogue9"
"The same remarks apply to it. After dis
cussion, in which its merits will doubtless be
duly elucidated, l see no reason why even
Democrats may not act tremendously.
The fight need not be made on this
point alone, and, as 1 said before, the action
of the convention must carry great weight.
With certain notifications, the Decalogue,
which some may regard inconveniently strict
for Democrats, would meet with favor. This,
think would undoubtedly be true if the first
ten sections were stricken out. However, all
this should be referred to the convention"

POLITICAL NOTE AND GOSSIP.

JUDGE w. A. CULLEN, of Rush county, who is
named as a candidate for delegate from the State
at large to Chicago, was Endorsed for that po-
sltlon by the Sixth district convention, at New
Castle. Judge Cullen is one of the leading
and influential Republicans of the State, and
would make an able and satisfactory representa-
tive of the party.
CONGRESSMAN LOWRY. of the Twelfth district,
has seriously injured his prospects for renomi
nation by an uncalledfor war on two Demo
cratic leaders of Steuben county-Harrison
Freygang and B. F. Dawson. These two men
are much respected by the Democrats of that
county, and Mr.. Lowry's attempt to punish
them will be vigorously resented.
FOLLOWING is the ticket nominated by the Re
publcans of Hamilton county: Thomas Boyd,
representative; Elihu Hawkins sheriff. James
W. Cook, auditor; A. c. Scott. treasurer; Thos.
j. Catterson, commissioner, first district; John
Ceals commissioner second district; G. F. Cot
tlngham, surveyor A. G. Heishey, coroner.
With two exceptions, these candidates are ex
soldiers.
Hon. WILL CUMBAcK, of Decatur, has been
widely mentioned as one of the delegates atlarge
for the State to the Chicago convention. That
Mr.. Cumback's selection would be wise and
popular one there can be no two opinions. Iden-
titled with the party from its organization, he
mas always been one of its representative men.
He was the chairman of the Indiana delegation
at Cincinnati, in 1876, and cast the vote that
gave Mr.. Hayes the nomination in that conven-
ton
MAJOR R. S. HILL, of Clay county, will be
candidate before the Republican State conven-
ton for Treasurer of State Major HILL it will
be remembered, was State Treasurer in 1881 and
1882. Indiana sent no drawer soldier to the field
than Major Hill, and he lost a leg in the very
last battle of the war, some time after Lees sur
render. His running qualities however, in the
political field bettered by reason of that loss.
Major Hill was not only good soldier, but is, as
we'll, good business man, and the money of the
State will be in safe and honest keeping if he be

MIR. HENDRICKS SPEAKS.

PHILADELPHIA April IA. - Your CORE
spondent had the good fortune to take the
same train out of Jersey City with Governor
Hendricks, just returned from few months
trip in continental Europe. He expressed
qualification at meeting a representative of
the Journal, and an easy conversation fol-
lowed, in which Mr.. Hendricks evinced his
characteristic righteousness, measuring his
utterances well, yet giving them the vigorous
propulsion that catapult would stone.
While modestly disclaiming the right to
speak for his party, or any considerable num-
Der of its adherents, he advanced his opin-
ions with that unqualified heartiness for which
he is noted.
"What is your opinion I asked, watching
his features narrowly to detect even the
slightest Discrimination, "of oleomargarine97
~ have given the subject of spurious but
ter so-called, my carefullest consideration
ever since the war;" he replied, "and See no
sufficient reason why the Democratic majority
of the House may not harmonic on this
great question, and 1 doubt not they will"
''But what is your personal opinion, Gov
ernor2"
"Well, as l said before, the Democratic
party should harmonic on this issue, and for
myself, l am content to relegate it to the ma
tional convention, where resolutions will be
formulated in consonance with the popular
will. Before the assembling of the conven-
ton the question will have been fully dis
cussed, and think some conservative policy
may be devised whereby the interests of the
public will be conserved and the prospects of
the party bettered."
"What do you think of the bill legalizing
the use of caterpillars for fish-bait during the
months of July and AugAstT
Gas l said before leaving Europe, there can
be no serious split in Democratic ranks on
this. There is a disposition l think, to refer
this question to the convention and whatever
may be the outcome of It's deliberations, the
party will cheerfully accept its ultimatum
and make gallant fight.

TAXATION AND ASSESSMENT.


The Journal had word to say recently in
regard to the matter of taxes and their assess
ment. That article has caused great inter
est to be developed in this direction. Every
see how the money comes and where it goes.
Let him compare his tax receipts for this year
with those Of former years, and in the city let
him compare the appraisements of his prop
erty for taxes collected by the county treas
urer and for those collected by the city treas
urer The taxation for city purposes is limit
ed to ninety cents on the 800 by State law,
but what is a. State law to a sharp Common
Council and willing assessor. Half a dozen
gentlemen were in the Journal office the day
after our late article was published giving in
stances of unjust taxation for city purposes.
One whose house cost So, 200 had the same
assessed for Improvements alone at $500.
Another, whose house cost him 81, 900, had it
appraised for taxable purposes at 1000.
Another whose house is appraised for $21, 900
for State and county purposes is assessed for
the same improvement $35, 900 for city taxa
ton. The owner would be very glad to take
the latter sum for the house and throw in the
lot on which it stands. The truth is that the
authorities, not being able to go beyond the
need for public and private purposes increase
the appraisement on the property of such per-
sons as they think will stand it; and so it
goes Many instances can be given in this
city where it would be cheaper as a matter of
annual outlay for tenant to pay the rent of
the property at rate the owner would agree
to take for it, including insurance and keep
ing in repair, than to accept deed in fee sim
pie and pay the taxes.
1t is not pleasant to say these things about
our city and our modes of government, but
still the facts exist and they will continue to
do so until reformation is made in the admin
istration of county and city affairs The Re
publican party has to meet this question this
year and every year. until there is a change
for the better. No small cotere of politicians
and ward-workers can whistle it down the
wind. The tradesman or the mechanic, or
the man working on a salary, who tries to
own his house and lot in the city worth say
$4,000, and appraised at SIS, 900, in which he
and his wife and children alone live, trying to
obtain the happiness that comes from the do
nestle freside, pays to the city, the State and
the county taxes amounting to $3.50 per year.
This sum, in addition to insurance and the
expense of necessary and ordinary repairs, is
more than the same house would rent for in
the market. This state of affairs comes from
bad management and bad government, and an
erroneous system of taxation. The tax-pay-
ers of this city and county are the people in
terested in these matters so far as this locality
is concerned, and they should so vote and
work as to generate reform.

up the natives nightly, on Sunday last.
The house was crowded as never before, and
the great preacher was much wrought up. As

well-dressed lady went into Mysteries and was
borne from her seat into one of the corridors,
where restoratives were applied, "He must

THE effrontery of New York detectives is of
that pronounced character that admits of no
doubt. Not many days ago, Rustem Effendi,
secretary of the Turkish legation, had watch
stolen. 1t was of gold, and intrinsic
ally worth perhaps 5000. But he valued
it more on account of it being a
present from President Garfield which fact
was engraved on its case. That it was stolen
by experts was proved by the fact that the chain
had been neatly severed with pair of nippers
such as such criminals use in freeing the watch
from its fastening. Rustem at once applied to
certain detective agency in the city. In
few days agent of the firm told Rustem that
for the sum of $3.50 he would insure him the inn
mediate return of the watch and chain. On
Tuesday the missing articles were placed in
his hands, the detectives making no at
tempt to conceal the fact that they were acting
simply as the agents of the thieves The SUI
preme impudence of one of these detectives"
is revealed in an interview had by one of the city
reporters
rs it common said the reporter, ''for the
private detective agencies of New York to act
as restorers of property for thevesP
well, replied the detective, that is a rather
hard manner in which to describe the business.
A thief steals a valuable piece of property and
the owner comes to us for its recovery. The
thief, learning that we have the case in hand,
sends an agent to see what terms can be made
for the restoration of the stolen material and in
case we are enabled to open the negotiations
through clients we of course guarantee the rob
bers immunity"
''Is not that an act which is commonly known
as compromising felony"
perhaps it is, but it is practiced by all the
private detectives in New York, and people who
have lost money or property are glad enough to
have the opportunity to get it back at a reasona-
BILE cost to themselves"
In short, these detective agencies are not de-
tective at all, but simply fences" for stolen
articles, the thieves evidently being perfectly
safe in going Immediately from the house they
burglarize to one of these concerns and
arranging the details whereby they may be
mutually benefited, The kidnapping brigands of
Italy were never more impudent and rascally
offensive than are these fellows What impress
sions must be made on our Turkish ambassadors,
and what must be their contempt for Chris

The Action of an Ignorant or Over-ZeaiOus
Chief of Police Leads to n Trifie of Diplo-
matte Action.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, September 2.
Governor Pattlson yesterday forwarded
to Mayor Fulton of this city copy
of letter from Secretary of State
Frelinghuysen regarding the recent
action of Chief Of Police Braun of
Pittsburgh, in ordering the Austro-
Hungarian Consul to take down the
Austrian fig which had been hung
out in front OF the consulate in honor of
the Emperor's birthday, about two weeks
ago. Chief Braun based his action on
city ordinance prohibiting swinging
signs, considering that the flag staff
with flag attached came under this head.
Consul Schamberg refused to take down
asEa tlag. Jsiief fsEaaIf made ixsosss1a los
against Mr.. Schamberg for violating
the ordinance, but as Schamberg stood
firm, insisting on his right as consul to
display the flag, and threatened to make
it National issue, MIR. Braun did not
press the matter. The flag was not re-
moved, nor was Schamberg arrested.
Secretary Frelinghuysen's letter to
Governor Pattison recites that Baron
DCHdShcI, lAC huSIllin 4hlutotCl, udo dp-
piled to the State Department for inter-
ference. After quoting the law showing
that Schamterg had right to hang out
the flag, the Secretary requests that the
Governor will bring the subject to the
early attention of the Superior Municipal
authority of the city of Pittsburgh, ad-
vising the Mayor that any proceedings
which may have been instituted by the
Chief of Pc ice against the Consul should
be at once dismissed without any cost or
charge to that gentleman, and at the
same time, that a courteous and fitting
explanatio ion be made to him.
Mayor Fulton was interviewed last
night, and said that he was out of the
city at the time the flag was ordered
down, and would take no steps toward
replying until he had legal advice.
