The Differences Between Secretary Whitney
and the Contractor.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Secretary Whitney
made the following statement to-day to repre-
sentative of the Associated Press in regard to
the dispatch-boat Dolphin:
''The talk with reference to the Dolphin doubt
loss arises from the proposition made by the con-
tractor. good while ago, that we should make
an effort TO arbitrate. and In that way arrive at
some common ground with regard to the facts.
We are now considering it, and l am disposed to
do it if it can be done. 1t will be seen by look
ing at my report that the action of the contractor
In fixing up the boat after she was submitted TO
the department. for acceptance removed a great

made by the examining board. / summar-
lied the matter in my report, and showed
substantially what points were unsettled. If we
can agree upon a board of technical men, whom

the money value of the difference between US, it
IS precisely what private individual would do
In similar case. We have not reached any
conclusion yet, but we may very soon In this
connection it is proper to say that most of the
statements that have been circulated with re-
gard to the recent trialtrip Of the vessel were
erroneous. She did not encounter any unusual
weather during the trip. nor did she make fifteen
knots, as has been stated. have not asked for
any reports in regard to the trial, but find
there is no substantial disagreement between her
official time as reported and the time made on
the previous trial trips"

FATALLY Beaten by Masked robbers.

LIGoNIER. Pa, Jan. 15.-Between l and 9
o'clock this morning three masked men appeared
at the house of Samuel Robinson, who resides
four miles south Of here, and demanded admit
lance. Upon being refused they fred several
times through the windows, and finally forced
their way in by breaking the door down. They
then demanded his money, which they supposed
was concealed in the house. Robinson told them
he had nothing, whereupon they attacked him
with clubs and chairs and beat him until he was
insensible. The villains then ransacked the
house from cellar to attic, but secured nothing
and left in disgust. Robinson is still uncon-
scious, and will probably die. He is about fifty
years of age, and resides with his mother. who
was too feeble to offer any resistance. The rob-
bers are believed to have been party Of tramps
who were seen in the vicinity few days ago.
The whole country is excited, and if the MUIR
derers are caught they may be lynched.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Come, Let Us Reason Together.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Now that the attention of Republicans all over
the State is being called TO the Importance or
organizing for the coming political campaign it
seems to me that it is good time for them to
calmly consider their duty and their obligations
to the party that gave the country Lincoln and
Grant. No one denies that whatever has been
accomplished in this country in the last twenty
five years, that is worth remembering is the act
of the Republican party. Why, them not mar
shalsourselves for the coming contest under its
banner
1t must be conceded that public sentiment is
more thoroughly aroused on the subject of re-
forms. not only in our own State but also in the
moment be doubted that the moral
sentiment of the masses of the people,
and especially that of the Republican party, is
far in advance of the legislation of the State
And for this condition of things many Repub-
lcans claim that their party is in part responsl-
BILE. No one can be more radical than myself
on the subject of reform. I consider the manu-
facture and sale of Intoxicating liquors, to be
used as beverage shame and a disgrace to
any community. And this Is by no means the
only evil that exists in our State, the remedy for
which is proper subject for legislation. But
we should remember that in the last ten years
the Republican party has controlled the
legislation of the State but twice. Nor
should it be held to account too
rigidly, even when in power, for the
legislation of the State, for the reason that the
character of a political party cannot always be
determined from the character Of the men whom
it elects to Office The best men have not al
ways been nominated for Office by the Republic
ans. simply because large per cent. of the
party failed to attend the nominating eonven-
tions, and, therefore, failed to discharge their
duty to the party. and it should not be held to
strict account for the legislation of legis-
lature not composed of representative
Republicans. II our people would give less
heed to political platforms, resolutions and
promises and pay more attention to the char
acter of the men who are nominated, society at
large would be the gamer. for all the men in the
State of Indiana who are opposed to good govern
ment are not Democrats. If every Republican
in the State who desires good government, will
attend the nominating conventions and vote for
men to represent US in the Legislature who are
moral, broad and liberal in their views-men who
have no hobbies to ride-we may expect better
class of legislation than We have been having.
