ACCORDING to the Minneapolis Tribune's
view of it, ex-senator Mcdonald thinks Of the
$50. 600 his law practice pays him each year,
and loses no sleep over the senatorial problem,
but keeps his eye on another $4,000 situa-
ton that appears before him down long
vista. The Tribune looks from too great a
distance to get the proper focus. Uncle 10
seph may not lie awake O nights, only he isn't
letting his chances of the senatorship slide for
the remote possibility of stepping into Cleve-
lands shoes He will probably have to con-
tent himself however, without either of the
two birds in the bush.

MORE oF TIFF FARCE.

About how much respect for Mr. Cleveland's
pretensions will be- left after reading the cor
respondence between himself and District At
torney Benton, of Missouri With a great
flourish, before the election, the President
wrote: 'Let this man be suspended at once,
at the same time suspending Republican in
Pennsylvania, whose place was needed for
party worker" At the time the Journal
took occasion to offer the suggestion that both
suspensions had been made for
political effect-the Missouri one to
placate the mugwumps in the East. where the
mugwump vote was needed, and the Pennsyl-
vania case to make vacancy so as to reward
a party favorite. The result demonstrates
the truth and justice of the presumption.
Benton is reinstated in his Office, though his
letter shows that he did just what the Presi-
dent says in his reply public official must
not do-and that is, make bust
ness of political campaigning. Mr.. Cleveland
kindly relieves Mr.. Villas, who delivered a
speech "by accident" to his friends and neigh
bors, and thus makes his letter patent
double-acting, duplex elliptic protection to
all perniciously active office holders who are
Democrats. But the Pennsylvania Repub-
lcan is out of office for good; there is no
executive clomency for him. The correspond
ence shows the utter unsincerity of Grover
Clevelands pretensions. He is the most
colossal fraud the country was ever disgraced
with in high Office.
The Journal made an offer to note very
conspicuously the name of any Indiana DEM
ocratic Office holder who should be suspended
for "pernicious activity" Up to the hour of
going to press we have not been called upon
to redeem the offer.
By the way, what power has Mr.. Cleveland
to reinstate an officer after he has suspended
him? Is it the intention of the law that the
President may make shuttlecocks for his
own amusement out of public ofices2 It may
be a very grave question whether the Pres
dent can arbitrarily set aside suspension, and
reinstate the suspended official

the same time, the irate members should reflect
that if they are without guile, and keep their

entirely harmless in such cases.

BROOKLYN lamp-posts are being fitted with
continuance for the supply of postage
stamps, postalcards and other appliances for
epistolary intercourse. You go up to the
lamp-post thus fitted, drop in cent and out
comes postal-card and lead pencil. Or,
having your letter all ready, you drop in two
cents and twocent stamp appears. Indian
apolis people will be content without such con-

zen deposits his mail in these receptacles with
many doubts as to whether it will see the

Mr. ALLEN O. MYERS, lately the editor of

'for any jawsmith who can advocate such
measures as he did in the Legislature, and
utter such sentiments as he did during the
canvass is dangerous demagogue untitled

cratic party never made anything by chasing
issues and they are always stronger in hon
orable defeat than in achieving victory by
questionable men and issues" Yet all

it could to secure the election of this very
man, and to defeat Gen. James S. Robinson.

''NoTICE of contest has been fled against

ney, contesting mis- right to take his seat as
Senator of Rush and Hancock counties The
contestant will endeavor to prove that one of
the judges in the first precinct of Nashville
was not freeholder If this is thrown out it

This is the character of the work under
taken by the Democratic suffrage thieves to
steal the Legislature. No intimation of
wrong, or fraud, or ineligibility, but a tech
ncal point against the qualification of a judge
is relied upon to be sufficient to steal a seat in
the Senate. These conspirators against the
suffrage and the freedom of the people would
do well to read the decisions of the Supreme
Court of Maine, delivered by an honorable
Democrat, Judge Libby, when the Garcelon
steal was attempted, and when the State was
under martial law for time. The people of
Indiana will not rest quietly under these in
famous attempts to rob them. 1t is possible
that there is not an honorable Democrat in
Indiana, in responsible position OF in party
authority, who will come to the front and re-
buke these things; but there are hundreds
and thousands in the rank and file who will
revolt against the revolutionary crimes pro-
posed and committed by the party managers
in the interest of ring frauds and corruption.
