HERE are three little extracts that tell their
own story:
Resolution of the Indiana Democratic State
convention:
"They insist that the surplus in the ma
tional treasury shall be promptly applied in
payment of the national public debt"
Another resolution:
"That the Democracy of Indiana in conven-
ton assembled, cordially approves the admin
istration of President Cleveland for its ability,
integrity and economy in the management OF
national affairs
Veto of Morrison's resolution providing for
the application of the surplus in the national
treasury to the payment Of the national pub
lie debt:
"This resolution involves so much and is of
such serious import that do not deem it best
to discuss it at this time. 1t is not approved
because believe it to be unnecessary, and
because am by no means convinced that its
mere passage and approval at this time may
not endanger and embarrass the successful
and useful operations Of the Treasury Depart
ment and impair the confidence which the
people should have in the management of the
finances of the government"
What does the Democracy of Indiana in
dorse anyhow?

MRS. ROBINSON, the Boston woman who is
accused of having poisoned ten or eleven of her
own relatives, is suspected of having had hand,
with arsenic in it, in the ice cream that recently
came near killing 125 people at church social.
She may be guilty; but she certainly has not
been present at all the picnics and festivals of
the season where arsenic has favored the re-
freshments. More than one Sarah Jane Robin
son seems to be abroad in the land.

REPORTS show that the crowds at assemblies
and camp-meetings are larger this year than
ever If. as the enemies of Christianity affirm,
the Bible faith is dying out, the evidence of it
must be sought somewhere else than in the
cation of this faith.-Western Christian Advo-
cate.
In the next column from which the above is
taken we excerpt the appended sentences from
another editorial:
From some camp-meetings we get reports
of conversions, but as a rule conversions at
these gatherings do not seem to be numerous.
tits also fact that multtudes attend
these gatherings more for entertainment than
for work and worship"
A letter from Acton says:
'lt is not going behind the returns to say that
religiousy Camp Acton is failure Ten
days have been consumed in religious work,
something like thirty sermons have been
preached by as many different minister's young
peoples meetings, mothers meetings. social
meetings, praise meetings have been held daily,
constant fuslade on the parts of Satan has
been kept up and still not single sin-sick soul
can stand up and testify that during these meet
ings have they been redeemed by the blood of
the Lamb"
But these camp meetings have been great
successes" By means of Sunday excursions,
Sunday gate fees. Sunday refreshment selling,
the good brethren look upon sleek and we'll
filled treasuries-and that is Success"

FRANCE furnishes two as fearful crimes as
ever blackened the pages of history, and provoke
the wonder if the dark ages could furnish any
thing more horribly revolving. At the suburban
village of ST. Denis two inhuman sons, tired of
maintaining their aged mother took her and
burned her as witch, sprinkling holy water on
her as the flames burned the life out of her.
This crime supplements one of the same horri-
BILE nature for which the perpetrators have just
been sentenced to Imprisonment for life.
A father and son living in the de-
partment of Aisne became tired of keep
ing an imbecile daughter in the family, and
deliberately murdered her to get rid of her.
They sent her on an errand, and she was way
laid on the lonely road she was traversing, and
was shot to death by her brother. who was in
spired by the inhuman father 1t is doubtful if
any age could furnish worse crimes than these.
There are some fearful scars on the fair face of
civilization, the revelations Of which appals hu
mainly.

THE war plot thickens, and it is given out
that the Chinese government is arming for the
purpose of compelling the United States to
pay the indemnity charged up against this
country for the damage sustained by the sub
iects of the Emperor in the massacre at Rock
Springs, Wy. T. It is said that 200 900
rifles of improved pattern have been bought in
England for the purpose Of arming the Chinese
infantry, and that other warlike preparations
are being made. The amount of the damage
claimed is placed at $147, 900, sum small
enough to cause the American people to re-
joice that they could get off so cheaply, that is,
if it would likewise remove the awful shame
of the crime committed by citizens Of this
country against defenseless and harmless
lot of Chinese. What with the squabble with
Mexico, and the rumor that it is the in
tention of England and Spain to lend aid to
Mexico in the event of war with this country,
this threat of the people Of the Orient is a
thing not to be despised. Pretty soon Uncle
Sam will get mad little and put the ques-
ton to test. But the Chinese claim should
be paid
