TOLERABLY THIN.

Oh 1t was the floods of 1888 which pre-.
vented Governor Porter from reporting his
list of pardons, communications OF sentence,
ETC., to the Legislature. He was engaged in
the antediluYian labor Of preparing the re-
port when he was interrupted by q summons
to attend to the wants of the sufferers by the
great overflow in the Ohio valley. All of
which was highly commendable on the part
of our good Ex-Governor. But new let us
get down to post-diluyian times. We pass
by without comment a trip or two to
Chautauqua, which was probably necessary to
recuperate the Gubernatorial energies, and
call the attention of the Republican
organ to the fact that this list OF
pardons might have been very readily pre-
pared several times last summer when the
Ex-Governor was perambulating the country
in the interest OF one James G.. Blaine, Re-
publican candidate for the Presidency. 1t
will be noticed, therefore. that the excuse
which has been finally smoked out of the
organs is remarkably thin in view of the
virtuous rigors which have recently nearly
shaken them to pieces. Some sort

On the contrary. so far as her antecedents
are known, they strengthen the theory that
she is an impulsive, morbid person, who has
50 fered from frequent attacks of insanity.
In September, 1885, she was admitted
patient of the Haywards Health Insane
Asylum in Sussex. England. She had at
tempted suicide by taking morphine and
administering chloroform to herself in
railway train while travelling from London
to Brighton. Previous to her detention in
the asylum, which lasted nearly year. she
bad been imprisoned for attempted suicide.
She was discharged as more insane than
criminal, and only four menths after was
received into a lunatic asy lum, as already
related where for six months her suicidal
mania was very strong. She acted as nurse
in England after her release. with an inter
ruption, during which she was herself pa
uent, the consequence of another attempt at
suicide.
Her parents are believed to be dead. She
is rumored to be the natural daughter of
French nobleman. and the two children
whom she lost are said not to have been
born in wedlock, and her discovery of the
deception which had been praoticed upon
her by the man whom she supposed to be
her husband was the origin of her mental
Ealady. Her age is about twenty-five.

THE organs continue to whine against the
turning out of Republican place-holders.
''These occupants have been Withdrawn
from the ordinary employments of life and
are now untitled to return" is the peal of
the organs. Well, we have said for years
that these occupants we're being retained too
long. They have been spoiled. But then
let it be remembered that when the Repub.
lican party came into power it did not stop
to inquire, before displacing Democrats
whether the latter were untitled to return"
to the ordinary employments of life"

Hendricks was in that city he said to a
friend that he was assured by his call at
Albany that no man had yet been offered
place in the Cabinet, and that every state

folio was simply speculation. The Presi-
dent, he said, seemed to be getting the
clearest views he could from the leading
men without making any promises. His
hurried call, he declared, was due to the
fact that he was going South, and would not
be able to see the President again until just
before his Inauguration.

THEN AND NOW,

A venerable paper, bearing imprint of
1S49, has been furnished US by friend that
we might read letter of correspondence of
that year from his pen. He hsd been all
the way from Boston to New Orleans, part
of the distance by rail, part by stage and the
remainder by river boats. "Think of it!'' is
an exclamation of his letter, 81 have trav-
eled ], 800 miles in twelve days and stopped
three times. What strides of progress our
country has made. predict that some day
one can traverse the entire distance from
Boston to New Orleans within eight days"
The personal letter which accompanies the
paper says: "You will doubtless smile at
my prophecy of thirty.six years ago for
another reason than did your father, who
was my friend; he did not think the feat
could be accomplished"
The paper referred to makes editorial COM
ment on its New Orleans correspondence, in
the course of which it remarks: "Truly, it
is fast sge we are living in"
We wonder what Boston man in our day
would think of being twelve days, or even
eight, between his city and the Worlds Ex-
position. The line of travel which did not
land him in the Crescent City within three
days would be pronounced so slow as to be
unworthy OF patronage; and yet, the editor
of 1s49 thought ''it was fast age he was
living in"
II we consider the tediousness and incon-
venience of travel in that era of railroading,
what an impatient people we find ourselves
to be. 1t seems almost ungrateful for any
in our day to complain of slowness in travel.
But the Cincinnati merchant breakfasting
at home who is not in Chicago, over 800
miles distant for an early supper, will be-
lieve himself wronged by the railroad. The
three to six months across the plains, for
the mover from Boston to California in
1S49, has been reduced to less than
seven days, and yet the tourist calls
it tedious ride. An Indiana Congressman
and bis wife, thirty.fve years ago, required
from six to eight days to make the trip from
their home to Washington. But a daughter
of theirs, when starting for the capital city
a few weeks since in palace sleeping car,
expressed horror of the tedious ride (of
twenty-three hours ahead of her.
1t is ours that is the fast age, but still it
hardly keeps pace with our desire for speed.
And perhaps thirty six years hence our day
will be looked back to as slow one, just as
we lock at the year 1S49.

HEREIN ARE WE JUSTIFIED.

A few, though only few, of the Sentineps
party friends have criticised its attitude to-
ward the State Treasury investigation. Since
honest men may honestly disagree there
need be no uncharitable indulgences from
either side in this controversy. Our position
was actusted by desire to forward the in
terests of the State aud of the Democratic
party in the State.
Our judgment was and is that the Treas
urer would better be INDICATED by an exhi-
bition that the funds OF which he is the trus-
tee are safely in hand than by refusal to
make that showing.
When the matter was transferred from
mere affair of political or personal spite on
the part of the late Republican Executive
against the Treasurer to an issue made by
the Republicans in tbs Legislature we be.
lieved the true policy of the Democracy to be
the showing up Of the falsity of the Rspubli.
can calumnies.
When the discussion had become public
property and was being sgitated throughout
the State we held it the right of the taxpay-
ers to be fully apprised of the condition of
the Treasury.
1t was not for the qualification OF the
assailants Of the Democratic officer, whom
the Sentinel had zealously supported
throughout his first and last candidacy, but
for the humiliation of those assailants, that
we counseled the exhibition which should
show their call for investigation only parti-
san and malicious.
If our critics please, the Democratic party
of Indiana consists of something more than
any one man or any dozen men. 1t COM
prizes host of taxpayers, honest citizens,
industrious laboring men, manufacturers,
merchants and capitalists throughout the
entire State. 1t comprises also certain prin-
ciples of popular rights and public honesty
upon the platform OF which its armies raj
sied during the late campaign, and in the
names Of which it demanded the overthrow
of the Republican party and its own ascen-
sion to the management Of Governmental
affairs. Ii was In behalf Of this grand
party at large that the Sentinel
has plead for such a complste refutation
of the false accusations against one OF its
chosen officials that no slur could be cast
