miters. the terrible battle Of General Stewart
With the Arabs in the great desert, the fall
OF Khartoum and the unknown fate OF Gen.
eEal Gordon and his devoted band OF brave
Englishmen, the threatened humiliation of
their army in Egypt, have stirred the
foundation stones OF British rule and do

The attempted assassination of O. Rosa
by Mrs Dudley, the dynamite explosion in
this city, the agitation in Congress over the
question OF bow to put stop to the manu-
fscsGfe and improper use of that
dangerous and deadly compound,
and the visit to this city of
Governor Cleveland, with his many callers,
has added TO the interest and incidents
crowded into the past two weeks.
As 10 the dynamite scare in London, it is
urq1estioDably real, ii shows how easily the
weak may avenge themselves on the strong.
and it may be fsr.reaching in its effects. 1t
may teach the strong and arrogant to have
more respect for the rights of the weak. 1t
may, and i believe will have the effect to
cause the crowrs OF the nobility TO rest IN

as to the war in Egypt, why are the Brit

TIME In the history OF this or the old country
when there was so much surplus and idle
capital IS now. The signs OF the times all
indicate brighter and better times in the
Lear future. There are many reasons point
ing IN this direction. not the least OF which
IS change IN the admin istratfon of public
sEairs. The policy of high taxstion aud the
accumulation Of large sums OF money by the
Government hes unquestionabiy bean detri-
mental to the public good. This policy will
doubtless be changed, and only such sums
taken from the people may be necessary
FOR an honest and economical administra-
ton of the affairs OF the Government. When
this Is done and confidence restored among
the people, and that the incoming Admins
tration will be wise and conservative. the
wheels of commerce will roll onward and
upward until prosperity and cOntentment
will take the place OF the almost universal
discontent and unrest now permeating the

GROVER CLEVELAND,
the FIRST Democratic President for twenty
self to the better and wiser men OF all parties.
he looks every inch man. His conduct
and his words stamp him statesman to be
honored and trusted. When introduced to
him he paid handsome compliment to the
Democracy of Indiana. He spoke of her
honored Observation-Disclosures, Voorhees,
and McDonsld-and the gallant fight made
and grand victory won by the devotion and
untiring efforts of her own sons. He gave rs
the honor OF leading the Democratic column
IN the great struggle Of 1884. no Democrat
IN Indiana need be ashamed of the part he
took, however humble 1t may have been, to
plsce Grover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hen
bricks at the head of this great Nation. The
administration of public affairs under their
guidance will be the wisest and
best this country has seen for
many years. They will bring il back
10 the purer and simple methods of the
fathers. Honesty, fidelity, efficiency, will

ministraiioD and il any ons thinks that
Mr.. Hendricks will be a cipher in the sd-
ministration, they will find themselves mis-

of Mr.. Cleveland that Mr.. Hendricks COM
msnds his entire confidence and respect,
and his counsel viii always have great
weight in determining questions OF public
policy.
The Demoorstic party has reason to be
proud of its history, its principles and its
siatesmep. They stand in the fore front
bonored and respected above all men and
and al parties. A bright future lies before
them. Their wisdom, their patriotism and
constitutional liberty has met the judgment
and appreciation Of the people They have
said come up higher, and we are coming
and coming to stay. JOHN LEE.
