seen by the Times Commissioner during his
visit of week to the blue grass region. The
question arises in the mind OF everyone,
Can the story be corroborated?"
The Times Commissioner in many cases
took the affdavits of parties-whose charac-
tiers sre above reproach-conversant with
the affair, and, without giving publicity to
their names, reproduces several of the state
ments. The following is sample:

Afhant by sight knew Miss -; that about the
years 1850 or 1851, scandalous report concerning
Blaine and Miss = was circulated through BOur-

Miss =, ana made her pregnant The matter was
freely talked about. and shortly afterward said
Blaine left the county. II was then reported that
Blaine, in addition 10 seducing Miss =, had de-
serted her. A short time after the circulation of
this report Miss - left Millersbnrg and neither
she nor said Blaine has been there since. That
the matter was at the time referred to the talk of
deny or contradict the truth of the statement that
Blaine had seduced Miss - and made her prey-
nant. The scandal had the effect of destroying
public confidence in the school. The pupils

by their parents. and the school was broken up on
account OF the Blaine - episode.

numerous statements were made by prom

missioner. One gentleman saw Miss - get
into the stage when she finally left Millers-
burg. He said she was enceinte beyond all
question. That the scandal here outlined
was the theme of general conversation
over thirty years ago can be substantiated
without any trouble, and at the present

memories, and some wonderful fairy tales
are being circulated with regard TO the affair.

WE find the following floating around the

country credited 10 the InUlanapOllS journal:
When Colonel Gray was in the city, few days
ago. brief conference with Major Calkins in re-
gard TO the matter held. but no agreement
was reached because he objected to holding more
than four debates, while Major CALI ms urged that
there should be JOINT discussion in at least each
of the thirteen Congressional Districts. They will
again confer upon the matter sometime soon.
The story reached this Office very differ
emily. Calkins, we understood, was the
name of the party who did the Kicking"
He it was who wanted only very limited
number of discussions. If he wants any
more we are very sure that he can have all
that he wants. There is one thing sure, and
that is this: He needs to be posted as to his
facts, or a ten-yesr old boy would make him
the laughing stock OF the State. He surely
undertakes the intelligence of Indiana peo-
pie if he thinks his Richmond swash will
satisfy them.

LOOKS CROOKED

Mr.. Calkins, is this true? If so, it looks
like a very crooked piece of work. Our
authority for it is the Laporte Argus. The
charges are damaging and are summarized
briefly in the following: Ten years ago next
fall it is alleged that William H. Calkins
secured loan from the common school
fund on land that is practically a worthless
swamp. With the assistance of intimate
personal and party friends. who probably
never saw the land, he obtained money from
the school fund to full twice the amount of
the value of the swamp. He has failed to
pay the interest on the debt, and for eight
years the taxpayers have been obliged by
law to pay it for him. He has failed to pay
this honest debt to the school fund, although
repeatedly urged to do so.
He is a lawyer and knows that the money
can not be collected on his note by suit
until the land is sold, and he has the best of
reasons for believing that the land can not
be sold at the appraised value, which is only
two thirds of the amount he received from
the school fund. He knows that the people
who pay the taxes have fox nearly eight
years been paying the interest that was due
from him to the school fund Is this an
honest transaction, or is tia swindle on the
school fund, that should be sacred to every
citizen OF Indiana? Is such a man worthy
to be made chief executive of the State? Is
he the right kind of a man to guard the in
terest of the children of the State, aud to
look after the welfare of the taxpayers? We
leave the voters to answer these timely
questions at the ballot box in November.

The Sentinel calls special attention to
the fact that a malignant speech made
by Senator Morton in 1876 is now
being sent broadcast over the land
in supplements from the Journal office
In that speech Morton tainted Gov

Death had robbed the Governor of his only
child, and this incarnation of malignity
stood in the Academy of Music one night in
the summer OF 1876, and by tricky in

the sacred surroundings Of a bereft home.
The Journal, not content with the
oblivion in which the vulgar speech was
slumbering dragged it forth only the other
day and published it in its columns. Not
content with this it lifted it from its daily
issue and placed it in cam paign supple

fCoNCLUDED on INSIDE

Many years ago the people Of Ohio
put into their constitution an amendment
forbidding the issuance Of liquor licenses
The intention was to kill the traffic, but
the effect was precisely tho reverse. One
moral to be drawn from this Ohio bust
ness, as the Minneapolis Tribune remarks
is that constitutional amendments do not
always accomplish what is expected Of
them. That little, innocent looking clause
which the good temperance people put
into Ohio's constitution 20 years ago has
done more than any other thing to give
the liquor interest the power it possesses
in that State. 1t has placed the whole
subject beyond the reach Of the legisla-
ture and city governments, and has
thwarted every attempt to restrict and
tax the sale Of intoxicants. One plan az
ter another has it defeated, and last Of all
the Scott law is nullifed also. If those
good people had been content simply to
enact statute, and had not, in their stu
pid assumption Of superior virtue and
wisdom, undertaken to bind the hands Of
their successors and preclude their free
action, none of these awkward things
need have happened. Said the good
temperance people Of Ohio when they put
that clause into the constitution: "We
have got it where they won't find it SO
easy to get rid Of it," And indeed they
were right.-Oregonian.
