THE old saw that politics make strange
bed-fellows never had a more striking illus
tration since Greeley swallowed up the Dem
ocratic party, than now in this city. The
W. c. T. q. is the only temperance organiza-
ton in this city, yet it is straining every
nerve to defeat some of the best temperance
men in the city, on the county ticket. No
tably among these is one who never failed
to take hand in any temperance movement,
whose money and time have been at the dis
posal of the Union for years, and against
whom, for this very reason, the entire liquor
force is pitted But such IS politics. Indiana
Advocate.
That is not politics; it is simply conceit,
prejudice, ignorance and malice, which are
the principal ingredients of third-party tenn
perance as Indicated by many of it's chosen
leaders. The prostitution of the W. G. T..
Union to such extremes is one of the saddest
facts connected with the political craze that
has lately taken possession of small minority

thirty thousand dollars. He was as willing
to cheat and defraud the Ritzinger trust as he
was to cheat and defraud the inmates of the
Insane Asylum and the State of Indiana by
furnishing 18-cent butter grease and taking
pay for 3S-cent creamery, which he should
have supplied under his contract And this
is the sort of man the Democrats have NOM
mated as the head of their county ticket, and
who is supported by them and the Sentinel on
account of his business success"

A YOUNG man of the name of Beveridge,
whom a flaming poster describes as "tal-
ented young orator." is announced to make a
Republican speech at New Castle tonight.
This poster also urges the people to hear him,
that they may learn chow Democratic bum
mers have been feeding the inmates of the
Insane Asylum cholera hogs, rotten butter and
sour bread "-Sentinel.
Mr.. Beveridge is not responsible for the
language of the poster. That he is "a tai
ented young orator" cannot be denied, any
more than it can be denied that Democratic
bummers have been feeding the inmates of
the Insane Asylum meat taken from a drove
of diseased hogs, rotten butter and sour
bread Those facts have been established by
indubitable and undisputed proof taken by
a non-partisan committee The evidence
consists of statements made by officials
connected with the asylum and official re-
ports made to the superintendent. These
statements and reports stand uncontradicted
CDR" Harrison has clustered good deal
and has paraded lot of figures, but he has
not touched the question Of cruelty to in
mates, nor the bad food fed to them so
that pet contractors might fatten off their
misery.

DISEASED MEATS,n

The Civil-service Reform Association COM
mittee reply to Dr. Harrison's statement, de-
nouncing as ga malicious lie" their report to
the effect that diseased meat had been fed to
the patients at the Insane Asylum, by giving
their authority. DR.. Fletcher, tho superin-
tendent, in answer to the direct question said
he had no doubt in the world that such meat
had been fed to the patients; and, further, that
particular part of the report was read to him
before publication, and he said it was correct.
This settles that question beyond perad-
venture. 1t is open and notorious that DR..
Fletcher has been strongly at outs with the
partisan and unbusiness-like management of
the asylum for some time; he has not been
chary about expressing his opinion; he has
given it in his official reports, in his protests
was SO much at outs with the
board that he ceased to attend the
meetings. The civil-service committee
properly give DR.. Fletcher credit for desiring
the best good of the institution of which he
is nominal superintendent; and were he away
from the malign influence and domneering
spirit of doctor" Harrison, he would exert
all his power to bring about the reforms
which he has so often asserted to be impera-
lively necessary. doctor Harrison has
unduly influenced him to seem to in
dorse the board in reply to the report
of the Civil-service Association committee;
but there are limits to DR.. Fletcher's com

REV. j. S. HUGHES, the political Prohibi-

that the bills in which he is advertised to
speak were printed before his nomination,
which is the reason they make no reference TO
the fact that he is a political candidate for a
political Office, making political speeches in
stead of temperance addresses 1t is to be
hoped the old stock of bills is about ex-

W. r. Linn, of Springfield, O., was
in the city Monday. Mr.. Linn is Gen.
eral Agent for the Santa Fe Railroad
Land Department. He was at Speare-
Vile on Sunday, and informed us that
c. E. Thomas, also of Springfield, o.,
purchased of Gilbert Bros. five sections
of land for the snug sum of $50, 600.
Mr.. Linn says that the immigration to
Kansas will be larger this year than in
any previous year. He speaks highly
of the prospects of Kansas, and believes
that this State will prosper beyond the
most sanguine expectations. His OBJ
servations go to show that the centre
of population is retained on the line OF
the 18th degree of latitude, and the bulk
of immigration has followed this line
for the past one hundred years. The
tendency of immigration is towards the
west, though like some diverted currents
in a stream of water the tide may flow
either north or south, but the greater
flow assumes well directed channel.
Ford county and Dodge City are on the
line of the immense immigration wave.
