The indianapolis Journal SAYS that the
Democratic party is now in power "by the
votes Of the bummers of New York City and

view. The wards of New Y ork and Brooklyn

extensively and regularly carried on showed
surprising Republican gains last November.
The wards in which Mr.. Cleveland made large
gains over the Hancock vote were those in
habited by persons who rarely or never "bum"
persons, in fact, whose character and stand
ing will be best understood by the Journal
if we say that they have usually voted for
Republican candidates. An occasional mac
curacy like this is a defect to be regretted in

Mr.. ADAMS, better known as "Oliver Optic, F"
who has lately been interviewed by some news
paper men short of material, says his leading
idea when he began writing stories for the
young was to give girls and boys something in
teresting even fascinating, and yet instructive
and elevating in it's moral tone. That he has
succeeded in making his books attractive to the
juvenile mind. any one who has ever spent an
hour in public library must admit That he
has made them equally instructive is point

Gently that he produces four books annually, in
addition to many short stories and sketches A
man may write four books of literary and moral
worth in year, and continue to do so for an
indefinite number of years; but the probabilities
are that no man ever did. Certainly there is no
evidence shown through improvement in youth

works, that Mr. Adams is a shining exception to
the rule.

Two desperate attempts have been made
within the past few days to commit murder
by the use of dynamite. At an obscure
mining town in Ohio some wretch or wretches
threw a dynamite bomb or grenade into the
house of Hugh Kinney, with the evident in
tention of killing all the inmates. Kinney
had incurred the displeasure of his fellow
miners, and some one or more of them took
this infamous mode of revenge, with an utter
disregard of the lives of others than Kinney
in the house. Fortunately none were
killed, though through no fault of
the assassins. and, as it was, the
house was well nigh destroyed The other at
river steamer at Philadelphia; dynamite
bomb exploded when the boat was in mid
stream pretty well wrecking the upper works
Of the boat, and fatally injuring several pas
sengers. The marvel is that many were not
killed outright. The owners of the beat seem
to have won the hatred of certain men who
had been discharged from it, and to these the
crime is attributed Offenses of this
kind are so monstrous that it is difficult to
conceive how any man can bring himself to
their commission The penalty placed upon
them should be death, and that, too. without
regard to the results of the attempts. A man
infamous enough to employ dynamite or other
explosive to the destruction Of the innocent,
is unfit to live. No brave man will do it. nor
one who has any instincts above those of a
brute. If the perpetrator of either of these
infamous attempts at assassination should be
apprehended, the severest penalty possible
should be melted out, and as promptly as the
law will allow.

language" This definition, from such an
authoritative source, will crafty those who
object to the frequent assertion that poetry
may be written either in prose or verse. Prose,
they are willing to admit, may contain the
essence of poetry, but it is only in verse; they
maintain, that it finds true expression. Theirs
is not the common view but with the British
Encyclopedia and Mr.. Watts to back them,
the nti-prose poets may enjoy, at least, tenn
porary supremacy.

The people of Indianapolis should turn
their thoughts to the question of municipal
administration. A new Council is to be
elected in October, and mayor. The very
best men that can be had for the places must
be nominated and elected. For the first time
the real voice of the Republican party has the
opportunity to be heard in convention. Let
1t be heard Ia tones that cannot be misunder-
stood on the side of good government and

The one redeeming feature of the miserable

The Prohibition Fight Against Republicans.

James Sanders, in Westfield News.
Eminent Christian men and women. long in
the temperance cause, have been held up to
ridicule and contempt because they could not
conscentiously join the third party. The main
fight is made against the Republican party.
Ask third party man why this Is so and he will
tell you it is because the Democratic party Ia
whisky party, and claims to be SUCH while the
Republican party is hypocritical party.
claiming to be a temperance party and
is not The theory is, defeat the hypocritical
party and allow the whisky party to have con-
troll of affairs but when pressed to the wall he
will tell you that it is necessary to destroy the
Republican party in order to build up the Prohi
btion party; that they expect most of their
accessions from that party. That is, they would
defeat the hypocrtical party in order to build up
their party with the hypocrts. The fact is the
Republican party in this State does not pro-
fess to be a prohibition party, and is not q
whisky party So fsr as it has made any declar-
alton on the subject in it's State platform, it has
favored temperance. large majority of Its
members are temperance men and majority OF
it's legislators have voted for temperance laws.
But We are told that her legislators are not
honest. and only vote for temperance measures
for blind Why should not Republican leg

ALONE WITH CONSCIENCE.

And VIC talked of my former living
In the land where the years increased
And | felt that | should have to answer
The questions it put to me.
And 10 face the answer and question
Throughout an eternity.
The ghosts Of forgotten actions
Came floating before my sigh,
And things that l thought we're dead
things
Were alive with terrible might;
And the vision u my past life
Was 4 terrible thing to face.
Alone with my conscience sitting
In that solcmuly silent place.
And thought Of Il far away warning.
OF a sorrow that was TO he mine
IN n land that then was the future
And now : the present time
And l thought Of my former thinking,
Ur The judgment day TO be

And / wondered if there was a future
To this land beyond the grave,
But no on gave me an answer
And no one come to save

And the present would never go by,
Fer il was but the thought Vt my past life
Grown into eternity.
Then woke from my timely dreaming
And the vision passed away,
And knew that the far away warning
Was a warning Of Yesterday
And | pray that may not forget it
In this land before the grave,
That I may not cry Out in the future
And no one CONC to save.
And so | have learnt a lesson
Which l ought TO have known before,
And which, though learnt it dreaming,
