The Stuff Brought Them.

Colonel Phil. Janrey, the drummer
for a great whisky house, has just re.

doubtless would have remained in that
condition had not a violent rain storm

enough to drive down into a stream.
Almost instantly my horses were swept
off their feet. They were Washed
around and lodged against a clump of
willow trees, where we found just
enough brace to keep the entire affair
from sinking. I began to shout for
help. I shouted until l was hoarse.
and then, drawing up my legs, l
waited for my wagon aud team to be
swept away to destruction. The water
grew swifter and | saw that to get out
of the wagon would be certain death.
Finally my loud cries, I was delighted
to sec, attracted the notice of a number
of men.
".Hailoa,' said one fellow, what's
the matter out there?'
II have been washed against these
bushes and am likely to be drowned.

MR.. CLEVRLAND,S DIsHONEsTY,

It is apparent that the speech of Senator
Harrison was center shot. It has attracted
widespread attention, and is being comment
ed on in all parts of the country. This would
not be so il it did not carry the conviction
that it was truthful presentation Of the
facts in the case. Yet the Senator has really
presented nothing new. The facts cited by
him have been familiar to the public of this
State for months, to the scandal of the Presi-
dents well-known and reiterated professions
of desire to enforce the principles of the
civil-service rules and to the despair of all
who hoped that he would honor his obliga-
tons so ostentatiously assumed. Senator
Harrison's strong presentation of these facts
has had the effect Of drawing public attention
to them and to set discussion in notion We
doubt not that the same disgraceful disregard
Of the true idea Of civil-seryice reform has
been manifested in other States. In truth, it
is notorious that the Presiden. has not kept
his pledges unbroken anywhere. Protests by
the score haye been sent up from this State
from the friends of reform, from men who
voted for Mr.. Cleveland because of his prom
ises in this direction; but it has done no good.
The gentlemen have been snubbed every time,
until now they no longer care to invite insult
by protesting to the President or to the head
of any department. Such complete back
down was never made by President before.

CHAPLAIN MILBURN has rival in the per-
son of the reverend gentleman who was chap
lain of the Pennsylvania Senate at its last
session. This gentleman answers Milburn'a
prayer against monopolies, by sermon, in
which he denounces the conduct of the
Knights of Labor in the Southwestern strike,
and derides the cry Of monopoly, saying il
can have but a temporary existence in this
country of active competition. Some remarks
laudatory of railroads, give rise to the suspi-
cion that the speaker has been retained by the
Pennsylvania road as an antidote to Milburn.

AN adjustment of the Missouri Pacific
troubles has finally been reached. Mr.. Hoxie
announces his willingness to meet commit
tee Of Missouri Pacific employees, and to arbi-
trste any alleged grievances they may have,
and under this state Of affairs orders will
be issued to the Knights of Labor to resume
work Despite its costliness, this strike will
result in good. A great many valuable les
sons have been taught all around during the
past few weeks; and under the wise counsel and
advice of men like Powderly, and with the
result Of the movement so conspicuous to even
the dullest, it will be long time before an
other causeless strike is entered upon In the
language of the General Master Workman,
'The day of strikes is past" Both organized
capital and organized labor have learned that
there are limitations to their strength; and
when that lesson is thoroughly apprehended
they will be in position to regard each other
with the respect and friendliness that will in
sure harmonious cooperation.

There would not be much risk In electing
woman Of this kind. She is evidently better
equipped for the place than many male as
pirant would be.

THE crimes committed against railway prop
erty at Atchison and other points are the
work of scoundrels and criminals. There is
no occasion for, or justice in, mincing words
about the outrages upon property and per-
sons that have cropped out here and there
pending the strike Of the last month.
That they may be done in the name of la
Dor and for the presumed betterment Of the
condition of workingmen does not mitigate
their character, nor alleviate their infamy.
The strike on the Missouri Pacific railroad is
confessedly causeless one, and the destruc-
ton of property resulting from the conditions
brought about by this causeless strike is sim
ply wanton and willful criminality, and should
be SO regarded and treated by everybody,
There is no advantage to be gained by labor
through the violation of the law.

RACES such as have been perpetrated In Bel
GUM in the name of labor. We cannot aelieve
that American labor has reached, or ever can
reach, such depths of depravity. The Knights
of Labor are strong, because, as rule, they
have been temperate and have deprecated law
lessness It would be foolish for Them to
surrender this prestige With increasing
numbers, if wisely managed, they can COM
mand the ampaest justice without contro-
versy. But, if in disputes like the one now
engaging the attention of the country, they
should assume to champion the cause of every
scoundrel who may want to take advantage of
the unsettled condition Of affairs to do deeds
Of deviltry, they will ultimately find that they
Lave alienated the best men among them
the men who give force to the organization,
The Knights have choice: They can "back"
the incendiaries, or they can condemn them
and help give them over to justice, and thus
strengthen themselves and the country. They
can make their organization refuge for a
few scheming scoundrels, or they can keep it
citadel for true and honest men who labor
for their living, and who would scorn to mo-
lest anything not their own. The hope of the
real friends of labor is that they will ever keep
their organization in the line of law and or
der, SO that the noblest mechanic in the land
may be proud to be member of it, and may
see in it the best assurance for the welfare of
his children. Labor can have its way, within
the bounds of possibilities, without striking
cowardly or dishonorable blow. 1t can achieve
its ends in a way that it can boast of without
blush of shame. 1t is right to organize, it
is right to have leaders and to stand by them,
and it is right to strike if they SO elect. But
it is not only not right to burn property and
commit outrages, but no honorable man will
countenance such infamies. The Knights
should keep their good sense, and not COM
NIT the folly of seeming to indorse such
scoundrelism

SENATOR HARRISON has let the light Of
day through the specious claim of respect for
the civil-service rules in Indiana. Let other
Senators do the same for their respective
States, and the dishonesty of the Democratic
party will be demonstrated to the satisfaction
of all true friends of reform. The Democratic
campaign cry of 1884 'Turn the rascals out"
is given significance now that warrants it in
being applied. More rascals have been turned
in during the first year of this Democratic
administration than found their way in during
the entire twenty-four years of Republican
control. Let the light be turned on the
Presidents appointments. The Postmaster
generals confidential circular would serve as
splendid object glass through which to con-
template them.

THE TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE.

Other States and cities are moving in the
matter of reform in State and city affairs
indianapolis should not be left behind in this
respect The business of this township has
been very badly and very extravagantly con-
Quoted, and needs ovsrhauling The current
expenses have increased from 81, 900 to $40, 900
a year during the last four years. There is
no telling what the figures will be if a change
is not brought about The people now have
an opportunity to get a look at the books and
to insist that better state of affairs obtain in
this very important Office. In the person of
Captain Many the people have candidate Of
known worth. He is an expert accountant, a
good business man. and is free from all ques-
tionable associations. His election would
mean an overhauling of accounts and more
increase of 800 per cent. in the running ex-
penses of Center township is warning that
there is something radically wrong in that Of
fee. The only way to get to the bottom of
the affair is to turn the books over to such a
man as will not feel compelled to shield the
present incumbent. The increase of expendi-
lures from 81, 900 to $40, 900 means that not
less than $4,000 has been wasted OF
worse. The people want to know
about this thing and the only
way to know to certainty is to place the
books in the hands of man that will make q
full and impartial showing. This is exactly
what the election of Captain Many will sig
Nifty, and is the reason why certain schemers
desire his defeat. The loss Of $13, 900 year
would prove very serious burden upon the
people of this township, and. worse still, would
upon the public funds. There is speedy and
effectual way to put stop to these things
and that is to elect to this Office the man who
gives best guaranty that the duties of the
trust will be ably and conscientiously admin
istered On Monday next the voters of Gen.
ter township will be called upon to elect a
successor to the present incumbent, who has
proved such an expensive public servant

tighten the burden Of taxation, and to do this
it is necessary to administer the business of

believe the Knights of Labor, as an organ

wild acts and insane words of the hot-heads
