The Duty of the County Convention.

The Duty of the County Convention.
10 the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
The approaching Republican convention de-
mands the careful consideration of all who are
Republicans By their devotion to the principles
which 1t is the mission Of this great party to
carry out in the administration of the different
departments of State and general government.
The first and the most essential prerequisite
in the contamination of the purposes of the
party is to place good nen in nomination for the
different offices to be filed. No unfair means
must be used by candidates or their friends to
secure nominations. Such procedure will be
damaging to the reputation of the one whom it
Is intended to benefit. and it may result In his
defeat and endanger the success of the whole
ticket. There is not, among all the
honorable gentlemen who will be candidates
before the convention, one who if honorably
and fairly defeated, will not roll up his sleeves
and go to work for the election of the whole
ticket Therefore, send good delegates to the
convention, and let them see that every man has
fair chance
Let the convention be one of order aud bust
ness, not bowling mob. Select q chairman
who will permit no noisy demonstrations In
favor Of any one candidate until after he is
nominated. Then let the demonstration come
and continue until the candidate is elected.
We want, in the next place, short but posi-
tive platform. The faith of the Republican par
~ must embrace some declaration of principles
pertaining to the living and ever-recurring ques-
lions Of the day, expressed in terms unembar-
rassed by technical evasions or unwarranted
promises that recognizes and keeps abreast Of
the march of public sentiment in
every department. Of thought. and that
pays due respect to the wishes of majority Of
The people, without any infringing upon well-de-
fined rights of minorities.
In the selection of county officers the best ends
can be attained by slecting men of merit, hon
esty and qualification.
With due care in the leadership Of the party,
bhere need be no fear OF defeat. Indiana is to-
Day Republican by more than 10000 majority.
Ehisls not said by way Of q boast, or to excite
nnfouudea expectation, but 1t is founded upon
carefully considered and reliable data.

Music of the United Presbyterian Church.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The Journal of this date works in the Brother
Jasper case in tilt at the United Presbyterian
Church. The paper says in substance that this
denomination has always adhered to psalm
singing as the only form of music allowable in
the church, that the Psalter is being revised
and selection of hymns from the Moody and
Sankey book, and from the collection Of the vari-
Gus evangelical churches has been made by the
revision committee, for use in the new Psalter.
and that the improved music will necessitate the
Use of musical instruments, privilege forbidden
the poor psalm-singers." One of the distinct
i've principles of the denomination is its belief
that the Psalms should be used in praise worship
mot the Rouse version but modern one. The
committee appointed to revise the Psalter has in
voked the aid of many distinguished musical
people, and doubtless many selections of hymn
tunes from the various hymnals in use in the
various evangelical churches will be made, but
the book will contain only the Psalms of David.
A law forbidding the use of musical instruments
was once distinctive feature of the church. but
some years ago this law was repealed and there
are organs in a number Of congregations
of the church in the country. The United
Presbyterian Church is not FOSSIL Tt is not so
large as other denominations of Christians In
this country, but in its colleges, membership,
ministers and missions it is eminently respect
able. LAY MEMBER.

The Slick Six I'm Lawrence Township.
80 the Editor of tae indianapolis journal:
In reply to an article which appeared in
yesterdays Sentinel in relation to ..slick six
In Lawrence township would say presume
am branded as one of the gang, as was present
st a meeting held at the time referred to in that
article; but by no means was it a secret meet
ing. and the party Tor Judge, he claims to be,)
who wrote that article, was informed of the
meeting the same as / was, but pleads ignorance
and claims he got on TO it in some slick way. He
says set Of delegates were fixed. which is also
false We simply met to talk of the merits
and dement's of the candidates. and each candi-
date for the delegation should work
for himself He claims and names two others
n veterans who announce their intention to
smash things, even including the party. Well.
as to the TWO named, with himself, am conf
dent that they will work in the interest of the
party as well as we ali have done; but as to him,
as he simply wanted an excuse to scratch, for he
has expressed his intention to do so il they didn't
nominate the men he wanted, and from all APP
pearances would like to get on the other side of
the fence. so his chances would be brighter for
she Office of Pension Examiner.

RICH AND POOR.

The great current of wholesome
opinion which at last makes or mars
every public movement, will assuredly
find the side that behaves the best in
the present great labor agitation.
1t will curb tho greedy and unreason-
ing arrogance of capitalists who act
tyrannically, II that can be done with
out licensing laborers to destroy the
property OF recalcitrant employers. 1t
will, on the other hand, crush disorder
and lawlcssness by force If those
agencies are used to coerce capital
Those who draw the sword to main
tain strikes will perish by the sword If
they do not reconsider. The poor
mans house and his household gods
need the protection of the law. lie is
the enemy Of his wife and children If
he takes one step toward lawlessness,
which leads to anarchy. The rich
mans enjoyment of his millions, and
all the luxuries 1t brings, depends
wholly on the preservation of social
order, and he should take care that in
his self.indulgence he does not forget
the terrible power of the multitude
He should understand that civilization
undermines itself when 1t becomes
burden instead of benefit to the mil
lions who possess the brute force of a
nation. That was the lesson Of the
French revolution. The men who ex-
pend thousand dollars, and often
much more on the flowers which deco
rate dinner table, are straining the
public safety when they higgle with
working people to extort an extra hour
of labor, or pluck from them a share
Of the pittance they are paid, on the
ground that business is bad.
The Mighty Dollar" order of no.
bility in this country of popular SOW
ereigns should learn to value the geese
that lay their golden eggs. Soft words
and good treatment, patient listening to
complaints and ready concession Of
proper remedies, will make labor con.
tented and its employment at good
wages profitable. The laboring man
should learn to value the power of or
ganization, and the absolute necessity
of peaceful and aw-abiding conduct.
Whichever of these two forces puts
the other in the wrong, will have the
popular verdict, which means victory.
If both act sensibly, both will win--the
one good wages, the other good
dividends.

THE NEW YORK PRESS.

The Herald this morning hopes that the
Senate will promptly second the move made
by the IIouse yesterday to secure the erection
of suitable building for the Congressional
Library. 1t also warns our Canadian neigh

THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE.

lie cannot walk, he cannot speak,
Nothing he knows Of books or men,
lie Is the weakest OF the weak,
And has not strength to hold pen;
He has no pocket, and no purse,
Nor ever yet has owned a penny,
But has more riches than his nurse,
Because he wants not any.
lie rules his parents by cry,
And holds them captive by a smile
A despot, strong through Infancy,
A king, from lack OF guile.
He lies upon his back and crows,
Or looks with grave eyes on his mother
What can he meany But suppose
They understand each other.
In doors or out, early or late.
There Is no limit to his sway,
For wrapt In baby robes of state,
lie governs night and day.
Kisses he takes as rightful due,
And, Turklike, has his slave 10 dress him.
His subjects bend before him, too,
I'm one Of them. God bless him

BULL AND BEAR.

An officer of the English army is
quoted by correspondent of the New
York Tribune as saying that no matter
what may be brought about by the pres
ent complications in European affairs the
United States would never see England
conquered. "Blood is thicker than
water" said the officer, "and our near
cousins in America would come to our
aid against Russia and any combination
that might be made against England"
This officer is little too sanguine.
In our recent civil war Russia refused
to recognize the Confederacy and
threw all of her moral support on the
side of the Union, which course has
given her very warm place in the
hearts of the people of this country
without regard to section.
Wedo not, however, remember that
England showed any anxiety for the
preservation of the Republic. There
is popular impression that she would
have liked exceedingly we'll to have
seen different termination to the war.
AS between England and Russia the
sympathy of the United States of Amer
ica can be put down az with the latter
every time.
Surprise is sometimes expressed at
this, because the Russian form Of gov
ernment is so Numerically opposed to
that of the United States and it Is true
that We are not in love with the gov
ernment of the Cars. Neither are
we particularly enamored of England's
government of Ireland, or of the te-
nacity with which she adheres to des-
potic ideas and institutions for which
the Russian Bear can be partially ex-
cused, but for which John Bull can
make no satisfactory apology.
THE bill which passed the House
yesterday for pensioning the soldiers
and sailors of the Mexican war is said
to be entirely satisfactory to the sur
vivors of that memorable conflict, and
as to the justice of the measure, tardy
though it be, there can be no question.
Estimates differ as to the number of
pensionable persons under this act, and
of course as to tho amount which the
Treasury will be called on to expend.
During the debate in the House it was
stated that between si,0O0,0O0 and
$5,000,000 year would cover all de.
mands, but Colonel Kenaday of the
Vedette puts his figures way below the
estimates Of the Pension Office, and is
confident from his wide knowledge of
the subject that there are not many
over 10000 survivors, and that the ex.
penditure would fall considerably un-
der 81, 100000 year. The number, It
should also be remembered, Is fast
diminishing, their average age being
about 90 years 1t will be of interest
to know in this connection that there
are ten Of the Mexican veterans in the
present Congress-Messrs. Maxey, Lo.
gan, Colquitt and George in the Senate,
and Messrs. Viele. Forney, Morrison,
Wolford, Throckmorton and Negley in
the House.
