THE daily papers of yesterday contained
two items rather discouraging to advocates of
Legislative prohibition. 1t is reported that
there were twenty arrests for drunkenness in
the city of Atlanta during Saturday and Sun
day. This is more than were arrested for like
offenses in the'city of Indianapolis, place of
greater population, and not restricted in the
sale o. intoxicants. 1t is true that there may
be those who ''glory" in getting drunk at this
time, just to show that they can, despite the
law. The other item of news comes from
London, where shares in Guinness Son &
CO.'S famous porter brewing firm were applied
for to the amount of E127, O00,0 while
there were for sale but f6,000,0O0 1t is
further stated that the statistics at the reve-
nue. department at Washington show that the
number Of distilleries and breweries have
steadily increased notwithstanding the tenn
perance and prohibition movements. The
traffic should be compelled to pay the burden
of expense it puts on the people. There
should be some practicable and practical legis-

AMAJoRITY Of As did not afford them i'm
munity enough to suit them, so the last
Democratic Legislature, in answer to the de-
mands of its bosses, passed a redistricting law
whereby it was arranged that there should be
Democratic majority of about 20. Is there
an honest Democrat in the State of Indiana
who does not know that this was not called
for, and that it viii not profit his party as a
party to the value Of nickel? Is there one
among them all that does not realize that the
whole infamous business is the work of few
designing spectators in the city of Indianap
oils who are intent on getting rich at the ex-
pense of the peopleg The question to be de-
cided is whether the rank and file of that party
will aid in this scheme. Now is the time to
show that no party, at the dictation Of few
men, can afford to do such dishonest trick.
The gerrymander must be rebuked.

THE indianapolis Journal makes much of
the fact that only $1,000 lie in the State
treasury of Indiana. 1t would create great

succeed once in getting on the outside of so
much money.-Louisville Commercial.
/ The State Of Indiana had borrowed enough
money to have $500, 600 in the State treasury,
but the last Legislature refused to allow the
people to know what had become of it. Be-
sides the treasury being empty of the funds
that should be there, there are thousands of
dollars worth of estimate allowances being
sold at discount of and s per cent. The
schemera have gerrymandered the State in
the hope that this kind of shrewd business
may be continued at will

HERE is little law that the Coy gang in
Marion county should paste in their hats:
"Section 1. Be it enacted by the General
Assembly of the State Of Indiana, That who
ever hires, buys, or offers to hire or buy, or
furnishes any money or other means to be
used, or directs or permits his money or other
means to be used to induce, hire or buy any
person to vote or refrain from voting for any
candidate for any Office, shall be fined not
more than one thousand dollars, nor less than

A SPECIAL correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune, writing from Terre HAute after re-
view of the political situation ia this State, says:
Ordinarily it would seem that being in power,
both in the Nation and State, and with the
seven, two of these elections being the preceding
two to the one to be held Nov. 2, the Demo
cratic party should have q vast advantage and
the prospects, be with it. Under capable ad-
ministration its victory next week would now
have been an assured fact Instead, its rapac-
ity, the chief motive of it's having being has led
it into disgraceful contentious over the spoils
and disguised the independent and impartial OBJ
server by the unseemly exhibition. This OBJ
server, IL may be remarked, is just about big
enough in Indiana to carry that small margin
that has been found on one side or
the other on election day. In addition to
the embarrassments referred to, the
Democrats are burdened with bad executive
administration OF State affairs, notably to the
State treasury. When the Legislature was In
session there were direct charges that the Treas
urer was not in possession of the money OF the
State; that 1t was not where 1t should DO. After
much dilatoriness the Democratic majority con-
scented to an investigation, which the party ma
jority prevented being anything more than a
farce. "A lot Of paper was ruled to be equivalent

THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET

There is no man on the Democratic county
ticket who is unworthy the votes of the peo-
ple.-Sentinel.
If this be true, why does not the Sentinel
print this noble arrayY If our memory serves
us Alright, the Democratic county ticket is
headed by man who was convicted of selling
cheap butterine to the Insane Asylum under
a contract for good creamery butter and
pocketing the price of the latter article; who
attempted to settle his debts to the Ritzinger
trust at fifty cents on the dollar, when he had
sworn that he was worth $50, 900; who con-
fessed to having corrupted the employee of q
rival in trade to steal his business secrets.
This is the sort of man that heads the gilt
tering Democratic galaxy.
Another man on the Democratic ticket has
been guilty of crimes which shall be name
less here, but the character and Nervousness
of which both heand the Sentinel well know.
Another man on the Democratic ticket was
the silent partner of his colleague and Of
Sterling r. Holt when an ak was used to
smash open the ballot-box for the purpose of
changing the votes cast at an election in this
county, and defrauding che majority of the
people out Of their choice. BY. a singular sar-

Mr.. CHRIST BRINK, by himself or some one
for him, is responsible for the UNANIMOUSLY dis
honorable attack upon Eugene Saulcy made
by the Democratic party organ. The attack
is the method of the sneak thief and assas-
sin. Mr.. Brink was nominated to catch
the respectable" vote, and has been conduct
ing his campaign on that basis, saying he did
not want the 'bummer' vote, but wanted the
South Meridian street vote. Mr.. Brink has
hitherto rated as reputable man. He has
been supported by some influences on this
ground. Does he think the scoundrelism per-
petrated in his interest such thing as an
honest man. can indorse, even by silence? If
Mr. Brink is not man enough to disown such
a scheme as has been put on foot for his sup
posed advantage, he is not man enough to
receive the support of many who otherwise
might have supported him.
We are credibly informed that this particu-
lar infamy was too infamous for even "Sim"
Coy, and that that worthy used his inf uence
with the Sentinel to prevent that paper from
printing the attack upon Mr.. Saulcy. If it
was too cowardly and dishonorable to Mr..
Coy, it will not be apt to do much good for a
candidate who is especially posing as an
honorable" man.

The Denver Republican prints at the head
of its editorial columns the following words,
used by Rev. Myron w. Reed at the time Of
the failure of the firm of Grant & Ward, when
the General was swindled out of his fortune
and out of his heart and life by the scoundrel
now in the penitentiary for his crime
"The rank and file since the war average
better than their great General, u. S. Grant.
His picture that we shall love to keep and
hang on the wall for the children to look at,
was taken at Appomattox, and not on Wall
street But we have one victor general who
may never have reason to say: Republics
are ungrateful.' I do not know, but when
man who has utterly failed still has salary
of $41 day, and the interest of $3.50, 900 be-
sides, do not think that the deep ditch of
our sympathy ought to run full and untapped
to his door-yard. There are many who have
sinned less, and who viii be punished more.
A confidence game is not any more virtuous
because it is great. If you will gamble, try
faro or poker. They are the most innocent,
and then you know what you are doing. My
sympathy, these days, goes out to the wicked
partner"
Possibly it was this expression that made
Mr.. Reed an available candidate Cor the Dem
ocratic party.
