Ii every Republican Senator who has been
elected by bribery were to be expelled the
grand old party majority in the Senate would
disappear Courier-J Journal.
Idle talk like this cannot be INDUCED in at
this time by Democrats without directing I'M
pleasant attention to the fact that there are
thousands of Democrats in the State of Ohio
who are fully persuaded that Henry B. Payne
occupies a seat in the United States Senate by
reason of the undue influence of money.
Such charges have been repeatedly made by
Democratic papers in Ohio, and it is fact
that cannot be truthfully denied that the cleo
ton in that State that year was carried by the
Democrats with the distinct understanding
that the Hon. George H. Pendleton was to be
returned to the Senate The name of Mr..
Payne was not thought of in that connection
until the election had been carried, nor was it
thought possible that he would then be chosen,
when, at the last moment, it was found that
the party caucus had been ''6xed" by some
means that have never been honorably ex-
planned, and Mr.. Payne was elected It is
distressingly ingenious for the Courier-Jour-
nal at this time to attempt to divert attention
from these scandalous facts by making allega-
tons it knows to be false and malicious.

HoBDY's Mills, Pa, comes forward with the
story that, early on the morning of the 10th,
there was, at that place, a heavy shower of red
lizards, and that there were 30 many that thou
sands of them were crushed to death by the peo
pie being unable to avoid stepping upon them.
The roads, fields and woods were represented to
be ''aliye" with Them giving the scenery the
aspect of having been painted scarlet. Two
hours after the sun had come out not lizard
was to be seen, and the inhabitants were obliged
to beg visitors to take their word for it. Next
we shall hear of it raining monkeys out in Kan
sas. All this tends to bring into disrepute the

A SPECIAL to the Louisville Courier-Journal

says:
There is some skuduggery going on in the
Senate finance committee over Morrsons sur
plus resolution. A postponement was had to-
day, much to the surprise of the friends of the
measure. A strong pressure has been, and is
still being, made by the administration to throt-
tie the resolution in the Senate finance commit
tee. 1t is openly asserted to-day that Its in6u-
ence has had its effect upon one. if not two, of
the Democratic members of the committee. The
resolution men in the Senate are greatly
ceed at this unexpected turn in the financial sit
uation, and denounce the committee in strong
language. They say that If the committee does
not make q report to the Senate within the next
forty eight hours it will! be relieved of its con-
sideration of the measure. A leading Demo
cratic Senator remarked to your correspondent
to night: That resolution is going to pass the
Senate just as it came from the House, in spite
of the trimmers and administration pets If the
committee does not report the resolution back p.
d. O.. the Senate will take it out of their hands.
We propose to see if half dozen men can throt-
tie the will of the people as this finance commit
tee is attempting to do'o

A RED-HoT antisaloou canvass is being
made in Henry county, Kentucky, with every
prospect of the county being carried against the
saloons under the local option law. But up
to date there has been no mention of third
party movement. They do things better in
Democratic communities, and do not lose
sight of the fact that they want two things at
one and the same time. When they conclude
to abolish dramshops they invite all to help in
the movement, and do not go to work to
prejudice any political party. They seem to
realize that to make this movement practical
they must enlist public sympathy and strength
en- public sentiment. In this way they tread
on nobodys toes, and do not ALLEVIATE any
body. The closing upof saloons in Kentucky,
or in any of the Southern States, would not
be thought of were it to be had at the expense
of the Democratic party. Let third party
by any means secure the majority there and
the enforcement of the law would be impossi-
ble and it would not be year until the tenn
perance legislation would all be thrown out.
Saloons never have and never will be shut up
in any locality where any large body of voters
are predjudiced and a party is made to suffer
by the movement. Let the people of Georgia
combine to close saloons by tearing down the
Democratic majority, and it would never be

PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE.

PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE
The destruction of the Soldiers Orphans
Home by fire is direct consequence of the
criminal carelessness of the last Legislature
in neglecting to provide for the protection OF
the State institutions. The fire which oc-
CURED at the Hospital for the Insane during
the session of that Legislature. and disclosed
the fact that the facilities for extinguishing
even a moderate blaze were grossly insult
fcient, was an emphatic reminder to the law
makers of their duty in this direction. 1t
was claimed by the managers of the hospital,
on the occasion mentioned, that the empty
cistern and leaky hose were not the result of
inattention on the part of employees, but were
in this condition owing to lack of funds for
necessary repairs.
1t was the business of the Legislature to
make thorough investigation into the matter,
and on finding of the facts as stated to make
such provisions for the handling of any posi-
ble confagration as would reasonably insure
against loss of life and property. 1t was
urged upon them by the Journal, at the time,
that it was not only their duty to make such
appropriations as would suffice for the purpose
in the case of every State institution but
that rigid regulations should be made in re-
gard to keeping these various fire departments
in working order, and an inspector appointed
if necessary, to see that the rules were car
ried out The remarkable views of economy
held by that legislative body, how
ever, prevented any action Of the kind,
and as consequence the people
of Indiana are called upon to view the ruins
of the Orphans Home. There was water in
plenty, but it was not available for extinguish-
ing purposes, owing to the absence of hose
not foot of this useful equipment being
found on the premises. This revelation of the
manner in which the lives of the wards of the
State are guarded will cause shock of indig-
nation to every citizen. Whether, in this in
stance the lack of apparatus was due to neg
lect OF the management or to lnsufnclent ap-
preparation, the fact remains that the burning
of the building under such conditions is
disgrace to the State That no lives were
lost at the Home or at the Insane Hospital last
year, was chance, or, as some may choose to
say pfoyidential; but it is not likely that
Providence will continue to interfere against
the results of human carelessness indefinitely.
The thousands of citizens of Indiana who are
personally interested in the well being of
friends or relatives in hospitals and asylums
or other public institutions, have no assurance
that these unfortunate creatures may not meet
the most horrible of deaths. Others, who
have no individual interest other than that of
the tax payer, can hardly look complacently
upon the chances for the destruction of valu-
BILE property. Doubtless it will require sac
rifce of human lives before the authorities
shall be brought to take proper action in this
matter, but when that event takes place the
negligent Legislature will be held guilty, as
they are now regarded directly responsible for
the loss at Knightstown.
