The Sentinel headed the account of the
Democratic State convention "Victory and
Harmony" and yesterday it stated, edi-
torally, that "harmony" was the name of the
Indiana Democracy We Gull from the edi-
torial page of yesterdays Sentinel the follow
ing indications of harmony:
''Who was responsible for the failure Of the
State convention to receive the resolution au-
thorized by the State central committee A
very prominent politician who was member of
the committee on resolutions may be able to
answer this query"
'The candidates and their friends have had
about three months to patch up peace in the
Seventh district They have made no genuine
effort in that direction"
'The Sentinel has done about all any
reasonable mind could expect of it in the in
terest of harmony. How much longer shall
it wait upon the elephants and the owls?'
''rhe people of the State and the Sentinel
are growing very weary of the highly absurd
complications in the Third and Seventh dis.
tricts The campaign is afoot, and the guard
house yawns for the marplots."
You bet we are harmonious. The man who
says there is not harmony" in the Indiana
Democracy is liar and horse thief. Whoop!

The water committee of the Council, at the
session last evening, decided to recommend a
new contract for sixteen months, upon the
same terms and conditions of the old contract,
with the exception Of free drinking fountains,
a very small item, amounting to less than
$500. 1t is understood that an effort will be
made to make the contract for five years.
The present contract continues by its terms
until a new contract is made, and renewal
for sixteen months is certainly very liberal
grant to the water company under the cir
cumstances, and in view of the very general
complaint Of private consumers, is all that
should be given at present. The city has all
the burdens that it can stand now, and it
would be extreme folly for the Council to bind
the city in longtime contracts until
the members can see clearly the
way out of present and coming
embarrassments: No prudent individual or
well-managed corporation would tie himself
or itself up in longtime and expensive con-
tracts when their income was decreasing. The
way to wealth and prosperity Of individuals.
corporations or municipalities Is through
economy. The city can in no event lose any
thing by short-time contract with the water
company, and, on the other hand, it may be
drowned in the water it will contract for.
The Council should be very cautious in the
making of contracts for the future under
present circumstances.

The Canadian government has seen fit to
close certain ports against the fishing vessels
of this country. That is thing that two can
play at and, if there be no mistake anywhere,
it is possible that the Dominion may yet get
very tired of it. When the petty 'squabble
over an obscure adventurer on the Mexican
border is disposed of it may be that the gov
eminent may for little while turn its atten-
ton to the much graver matter on the banks
of Newfoundland.
