unpatriotic sentiment given utterance to by
Minister Kelley stirred up the righteous in
dignation of papers long content to say moth
Fling on such occasions, hoping, doubtless, that
the lapse of years would bring back the feel
ing of patriotism once supposed to be preva-
lent in the South. In like manner the petit
tion Of Colonel Horn for the pardon Of Jeff
Davis has provoked criticism on the part
of many an editor who has repeatedly
deprecated waving the "bloody shirt" The
motion of Colonel Horn causes Frank Les
lies Illustrated Newspaper to remark that,
''while there may be no good and sufficient
reason why President Cleveland should not
pardon Mr.. Davis, perhaps Mr.. Horn does not
fairly represent Southern sentiment on the
subject and no intimation has ever reached
the public that Mr.. Davis personally desires
that his political disabilities shall be removed.
And, speaking of Mr. Davis as the only re-
naming vestige of the war; Mr.. Horn APP

teries, North and South, and there still exists

that it is about time that the fapdoodle Of

THE appointment of Mr.. Kelley as minister
to Austria is an outrage upon common decen-
cy and loyalty. This is an extract from a
speech made within the past two weeks:

been hastily expressed, and since then forgot

them. But the remarks so ingeniously re-
peated We're not the expressions of haste or

invasion. 1t was to be consistent with this

RUSSIA Or ENGLAND7

The question is being canvassed whether
Americas sympathy is with England or Rus
STA in the trouble now at hand. One would
think that national kinship between England
and America would be a strong bond of fell
lowship, sufficient to hold our friendship
against any semi barharous agglomeration Of
peoples like those embraced in the Russian
empire. And so it would, all other things
being equal. But the mind of loyal Amer
icans of all who have held that this is a
Nation, goes back to the time when this gov
eminent was put to a fearful test to determine
its integrity. During those fateful years of
sacrifice and waste of war, the influence Of
England, as people, was steadily against the
Union, and tacitly, at least, in favor of the
Confederacy; and it was only through the
utmost exertions of our representatives there
and the fear of provoking the hostility of other
European powers, that England was prevented
doing even more than she did to encourage
the leaders Of the rebellion. At this very
time, when even partial friendship
was golden, Russia was outspoken
in sympathy for the Union, and
her men-ofwar were scattered along
our coast with every assurance of assistance
in event Of active interference by Great Brit
ain. At that time the sympathy of Ameri-
cans was undoubtedly with Russia. But now
it is agreed, in behalf of England, that she
represents the higher order of civilization, and
that it were better for humanity that British
influence should dominate in India and in Az
ghanistan. This is by no means apparent.
During the past quarter of century Russia
has made great strides toward civilization, and
millions of serfs have been raised to
citizenship. The Cars of Russia have had
to contend against stupendous obstacles For
a great part made up of semi-sterile territory,
in very rigorous climate, peopled by tribes
hostile to each other and mutually destructive
Of wealth, the first great necessity was to get
a good and sufficient grip upon them to hold
them, not only in subsection, but away from
each other. Nomads by inheritance and
plunderers by instinct the tribes that bor-
dered southern and eastern Russia have been
the source of endless trouble and expense. 1t

them into subsection and to teach them

the first law Of civilization, to keep hands of
their neighbors. Russia is not standing still,
and no power on earth is going to keep her
from eventually reaching the Arabian sea.
The possession of Turkestan and Beloochistan
are secondary to an open highway to the Indian
ocean, which, once reached, gives Russia an
unfettered communication with the CONNER

will experience an impulse never before felt.

India and Africa have been overrun by. British
soldiery, and have been made to pay tribute
to British arms. In return, something like the
stability and safety of civilization have been
guaranteed; tribal wars are rare, and the
ways of commerce have been opened up. to
the undoubted good Of all concerned So far
as anything known to the contrary, Afghan
istan and Beloochistan would be as happy
and prosperous under Russian domination as
they now are. 1t is quite certain that they
would be in much less danger of mutual
troubles and of conflicts with neighboring
tribes. 1t would seem, too, that, be-
ing the recognized highway to Russia
from the outside world, great
deal Of incidental wealth must result
The railways that commerce would send up
through that region would as surely carry the
seeds of civilization as they would the prod
ucts of the outer world. England must fight,
if fight at all, on principle. The guaranty of
protection to Afghanistan must be observed
though it is not plain that British interests in
India would suffer more from juxtaposition
with Russia than with comparatively
barbarous tribes. The same people
would occupy Afghanistan that now
do; the difference would be that
the restraining arm of authority would be
stronger to hold in check predatory bands.

sympathy, unqualified, should 60 to England

TIE SUNDAY JOURNAL,

We think we can safely promise Sunday
greater interest and excellence than usual.
The endeavor is to make the Sunday Journal
a newspaper, not only full of current news
from all parts of the world, but having in its
literary and special features articles that are
worth place beside the best literature of the
times. The columns of the Sunday Journal
are not given UP to trivialities and to bur
lesques, and while in its preparation we try to
keep in mind the varying tastes and demands
of its large constituency, the effort is not to
allow the paper to fall below the best
standards. It's columns are replete with
articles of merit upon topics of interest and
Importance, at the same time not making the
paper dull or didactic, but bright, newsy,
attractive and readable in the best sense.
In to-morrows issue there will be number
Of unusually interesting features. The third
powerful novel, "Oliver's Bride" will be
printed; James Whitcomb Riley and other
favorite writer's will have original poems;
Rev. w. G. Smith, the venerable Methodist
minister, will tell why DR.. Berry resigned
the presidency of Asbury, and give some in
side facts in the history Of that institu-
ton; Mr.. Robert Mcintyre contributes a
two-column talk with Dennis Hanks,
q cousin Of Abraham Lincoln, about the boy
hood and early life of the great President;
Mr. Joseph Hatton's London letter is particu-
larly timely, in the light it throws upon the
complications of England with Russia;
"Garth," one of the most brilliant of letter
writer's, tells of trip to British Honduras;
Mr. Ernest Morris contributes personal
sketch of a trip up the Amazon in search of
the celebrated Victoria regia, and there will
be an article giving sketch of the most
noted express robberies, suggested by the
recent Monon crime. These are the special
articles, besides the regular features of the
Sunday edition. We can safely challenge COM
pariscn with any Sunday paper in the country,
as to the richness, variety and real worth of
contents.
The Sunday Journal goes to every part
of Indiana, and circulates, also, in those por-
tons Of Ohio and Illinois reached by Indian
apolis roads. Since the LIST of March it's
circulation has increased more than $500
copies, and is enlarging every week in steady
and satisfactory ratio. AS a medium for ad-
yertising, reaching the best class of people

thoroughly read it, going into families and
homes, every member and inmate Of which

celled and unapproached by any other Sunday
paper in the city or State. TO secure inser-
