a TRIAL, TRIP

The Democratic party is Oh trial. This
trial was granted by the people on margin
go slender as of itself to constitute healthy,
timely warning.
The cause which led to this offer of trial to
the Democrats was general discomfort on
account of gIoSs populations and wrong
generally in all the departments of the Gov.
eminent, and from excessive burdens Of tax
alton laid upon the people for the personal
advantage of a favorite class, rather than for
the good of the whole people.
This state of things, it undoubtedly was
which chiefly operated to retire the Rspubli-
can Iarty, a. place the new power on trial.
II, then, the new power shall meet reason
able expectations, il is fair to presume that
it Will be continued, and not otherwise.
The chances of success to Mr.. Clevslsnd's
administration, with continued power in the
hands of the Democratic party, will, there
fore, depend on the ability Of the admins
tIation and its party to bring back the Gov
eminent to its old standard of purity and in
tegrity and fair dealing between all classes
OF tie people.
If strict morality take the place of the late
corruption; if capable men of honest princi-
pies and worthy aspiration shall be chosen
to administer affairs and the people ara re-.
lieved from excessive taxation, with the
necessary taxes levied upon basis of equal
and exact Justice to all, and il added thereto
the Government shall be administered with
frmness, resolution and moral courage,
then we may boldly predict
judging by the simple calculation Of reason.
that the new power will be recommissioned
to continue the good work. The multiplica-
ton table is not more certain than that the
present administration has committed to it q
grave and momentous responsibility OF the
highest possible character.
II it shall happily succeed, az we trust and
believe it will IN maintaining q line of con-
cuct worthy Of the traditions Of the Demo.

STATE FINANCES.

Some controversy in regard to the cost OF
maintaining the State government has arisen
in the last few weeks. The report of the
State Auditor is so clear on this question
that any school boy can readily determine
jus. what the expenditures are. J1dge
Jordan has for a number of years 81 the
commencement OF the canYass prepared
statements which have been published and
distributed as campaign documents, and
have found their way to the homes of the tax
payers, and his statements have never been
questioned.
Dunng the last session of the Legislature
the chairman Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee requested the Judge to prepare state
meDt in regard to the condition of the State
Treasury, and give his views as to the neces
sity Of making loan to meet the extraor.
binary expenditures oocasioned by the build
ing of the new Insane Asylums. The ] adge
in this statement gives the expenditures for
the fiscal year October 81, 1884, and below
are his figures, which can be verified by
turning to pages 80 40 and Al OF Auditors

Teen other accounts of the swindle, but the
one we propose to make use of we find in
the Chicago Tribuue. As this is recognized
ss first class Republican authority, eur wit.
ness will not probably be impeached by any
members OF that party heresbouts. The &C.
count of TIE affair, or rather swindle, runs
after this manner. It seems that a board
appointed by the Secretary of the Navy to
inquire into the dealings of the Navy De-
partment with the American Wood Pre-
serving Company Of Cleveland, o., has pre-.
sented report that the alleged invention is
practically worthless. The process was to
force sulphste OF copper into wood, and,
after its impregnatisn, to force solution OF
chloride Of barium into the same wood.
The theory was that the copper would pre-
serve the timber from decay and that sui
phate Of barium, an insoluble substance,
would be formed in the pores of the wood,
closing them up SO that the copper solu.
ton could not escape. a large number of
pieces Of different kinds of wood were tested
by the board, after having been impregnated,
at Columbia College, New York. 1t was
found that the sulphate of copper did not
penetrate the wood throughout, only very
faint traces of it being discoverable near the
ends of the timber used. The bsrium solu-
ton did not penetrate the wood and the
pores were not closed mp. In addition the
board found that the attempt to preserve
wood by means OF sulphate of copper was
much older than the Thilmany process, and

That the financial condition OF Indiana is

In this connection it may be well to state
that there is every year tax of sixteen cents
on the S100 levied by the State for school
purposes. In other words, the State leVies
four cents more for school purposes than 1t
