"It's strange" said he, "but by actual

Correcting himself, the jeweler explained
that he counted a man every time he came

necked brute whom he could convict before

DIR. HARRISON, president of the Insane
Hospital board, says that after eleven weeks
work, he had supposed that the (civil-service)
committee had found something, but in this,
he says, he was mistaken. Feeding diseased
meat and maggoty butter to patients, corrup-
ton in the contract system, inhuman brutal
ity of attendants, and one of the board rest
ing under suspicion of embezzlement are, of
course, mere trifes. The Doctor expected
some developments worthy of the past history
of the Democratic party in this State.

has sent $50 and Henry Irving $500 to the
Charleston relief committee" It is apparent,
therefore, that the actor gave just ten times
as much as did the Vermont Senator. 1t
might also be remarked in this connection
that Mr.. Irving's contribution was just TWEEN
ty times as much as Secretary Bayard's, while
the ratio of the gift made by the actor is to
that made by the President as $500 is to moth
ing. ii is petty business, at best, to speak
on these matters. Each man is supposed to
be the judge of what he is able and willing to
give, and it is not for any other man TO ques-
ton him. 1t is to be hoped that all who can
will contribute to the help Of the stricken
city, but it is not thing that should be an
alyzed to the harm of any who are generous
enough to give any considerable amount.

at Goshen last week spoke thus of our public
school system: GAS in them no ones religious

ing the spirit of religious intolerance"
That may sound we'll in theory, but how is il
in fact2 In this city no Catholic is permitted to
send his child to the Goddess public schools
Widows and poor people are alike required by
the priests to educate their children at the
church schools and pay round sums for tuition
A very few Catholics have asserted independence
enough to disregard the priestly introduction,
but these are not recognized as true to THAR
church. 1t may, however, tend toward making
these schools more popular with the church to
put them under supervision of a Catholic
Whether this will be accomplished by toning ths
schools down to the Catholic standard, or toning
the church up to the American idea remains to
be seen. Itlooks little queer, however that in
asmuch as mo religious views are questioned" in
these schools there should exist such an opposi-
ton to them among the priests of the Catholic
Church. Where, as in Dubois county, the coun.
ty superintendent and many of the teachers arc
Catholics, the church patronizes the schools
more freely. Perhaps if we put Catholic in
charge of the entire State it may result in gen.
era patronizing of the public schools. The peo-
pie have a chance to try the experiment. All,
but will they?

THE New York Democratic press, or certain
individuals of tits more honest in regard to
the result in Maine than is the Democratic
press West. Here the attempt is being made
to show that the Republican majority there
shows marked falling off, and to make this
dishonest charge appear to be true comparison
is made with the figures of the election of
1884, which was presidential year. The
New York Sun says: "Has the election in
Maine made Mr.. Blaine more prominent as a
candidate for 1888 than he was two months
ago, or lessP We should certainly not say
less" This is the expression of the leading
Democratic paper of the city Of New York Of
the same, the Daily Graphic says:
''The Republicans needn't write up the Re-
publican victory in Maine and the Democrats
needn't write it down. The truth is that the
Republican party was arrayed against very
many of its former friends as we'll as against
the Democratic party, and its success is the
more gratifying to itself for that reason. The
facts and figures show for themselves, and
nobodyis going to gain anything by misrepre-
senting them. Mr. Blaine has certainly not
been hurt by the election of Monday, and the
Prohibition party has been. 1t does no harm
to tell the truth"
There is decency in such position as this
that commands the respect of everybody
There is no use lying about the result in
Maine. The Democratic press in Indiana
cannot hope to deceive anybody not intent on
being deceived so that there is no profit in
it at all. The plurality in that State for the
Republican candidate for Governor is nearly
double that received by the party candidate in
1882, the last election which can fairly be
compared with this. This much is certain:
that no Democrat has been found to be in a
really happy frame of mind, though protesting
that he is delighted.

TIE city of Chicago, with its three-quarters
of million inhabitants, has contributed less
to the relief of Charleston than that city, with
population of but CO. OO0 gave to Chicago on
the occasion of the great fire. Chicago is los
ing it's former spirit of progress and enter
prise. Such things as this incident. and the
fact that she is heavily in debt for her big
Chamber of Commerce. lend color to the sus
picion that she is not as prosperous as she
once was. She certainly is not as enterpris-
ing, while gratitude seems to be an unknown
virtue there.

may properly be remarked, nevertheless that
there is perhaps, no more opportune time for
the discharge of this particular sort of duty
than just after an earthquake" This refers,
of course, to the debtor who has not been
shaken up by the trembling of the earth, and
it is certain that men who do owe those who
have lost in this calamity should speedily pay
what they owe. There are too many men
who are waiting for the recurrence Of an
earthquake to pay their debts.

The Sentinel must have been greatly panied
to observe that General Brady so suddenly ex-

record of cipher kilograms, Oregon corruption,
to say nothing of the previous bloody crimes
against suffrage in the Southern States, and

AN Indianapolis special to the Cincinnati
Enquirer says: "Since the convention which
for the second time demonstrated that By
mum was the choice of his party a marvellous
good feeling seems to have sprung up in every
quarter" Chairman Coy" is represented to
be in a perfectly rapturous state of Char
mony," and it is added "a significant sign
of the times is the fact that John W. Kern,
Supreme Court Reporter, who was Mr. Bailey's
chief adviser as we'll as Mr.. Bailey, will aid
in the congressional campaign, and Mr. Kern
has already been put down for number of
speeches in Mr. Bynum's special interest. If
these things are not significant, then what?'
These things are indeed extremely signif-
can't and when Mr.. Kern, and Mr.. Frenzel,
and MI. English and all the balance get upon
the stump we hope they will give their opin-
ions of the Hon. Mr.. Bynum just as they
have been doing, not only to their fellow
Democrats, but to very many Republicans,
some Of whom may be indiscreet enough to
repeat what has been told them. But the
still more Significant" thing is that the SEN
tinel gives no indication of supporting Mr.
Bynum. Less than two weeks ago it declared
that he should be kicked out of the Demo
cratic party. What is its opinion now?

there few in public life better worth listen
ing to. The Duckworth Club of Gin

Is that the same Cincinnati club which, being
duly mindful of the requirements of reform
policy attended, in full force and with large
supply of fluid refreshments, the Fourth Indi-
ana district convention and pulled Mr.. Holman
Mr.. Holman from his Indiana nome to Cincin-
nati-the refreshments still holding out-and
joined with Mr.. Holman in shouting halleluiahs
to Cleveland and reform" If this is the Same
club that is to do escort duty for the distin-
guished reformer on the occasion OF the Batavia
meeting, we have no doubt that the gathering
will be one of the iolliest of the year.

THE result of the election in Ohio last year
and IN Maine this year demonstrates the fact
that the proper way t. deal with the third party
Prohibitionists is to deal with them squarely
and honestly as assistant emocrats-Prohibi-
tionists for either malice orrevenue only. I'm
der the blows given this 'party" by Ohio Re
publicans the promised one hundred thousand
for DR.. Leonard dwindled to paltry few thou
sands, and in Maine the promised ten thou
sand melted away under the sturdy strokes Of
the Republican party to less than four thou
sand, though Gen. Neal Dow lent his name
and influence to 'help smash the Republican
party" and they imported the fraud and dead
beat, ST. John, besides. There are some hon
est and candid men betrayed and misled
into joining the third party movement; but
the leaders, as a rule, are either venial or dis
honest from prejudice malice or vanity. That
is the fact in Indiana. Everyone with brains
enough to keep oat of the asylum for the
feeble-minded knows that the work, if not the
purpose, of the third party is to perpetuate
the power of the or-League Democracy
They impudently and defantly declare their
mission to be ito smash the Republican
party" The Republicans of Indiana should
do the Smashing" themselves, as they have
done in Ohio and in Maine.

Indiana Christian Advocate.
The Liquor League got their man at last. Az
ter many months of wranglng, the nomination
OF Mr.. Bynum for Congress in this district was
made unanimous. Mr.. Bynum voted against tho
proposition to appoint commission to inquire
into the relation OF ntoxicants to the prosperity
of the nation, and was one of the eight who had
the backbone to vote in the House against the
bill which provided for teaching the effects Of
alcohol on the human system. Yet Mr. Bynum
will be voted for by some good Methodsts all
the same. for there are Methodists who wear the
party yoke meekiy that they dare not do
otherwise than as the League dictates; AMI some
good men. for the sake of party, will do all they
can to elect him. while pretending to be par ex-
celence temperance men. This is strange
world.
