CHEERFUL NEWS FRo n INDIANA.


Ths Democrats worAiDg In Harmony A
Trick That Wss Discovered.
Mr.. N. b. Bschtold, of Reading, who has
just returned from indianapolis, tells Mr..
George N. Reynolds, of this city, that there
wss very little enthusiasm in that city for
General Harrison. The recent demonstrs
lions there were supported chiefly by out.
siders, and the RepuOlic candidate is not
popular though respected. He believes
that Indiana will surely be carried by the
Democrats, aud thinks that the union and
harmony prevailing between all factions Of
the party assures Democratic majority OF
not less than four thousand.
lndisnspolis people OF all parties have
beon much smused by the desperate efforts
OF the Republican managers % make use
OF the great oyclorsms Of the battle Of
Atlsnta on exhibition there. Mr.. Cairns,
chairman OF the Democratic committee,
owns q one sfourth interest In this picture.
ln the foreground among q group OF
monnted cfficsrs Ia an excellent portrait Of
0eusrsl Jefferson q. Davis, who was in
charge OF the operations In that part of the
hsld. end Mr.. Cairns was Mortified one day
to md that enterprising Republicans had
deliberately painted over the face Of this
gallant Union general and substituted a
Likeness OF General Harrison, who was not
present OF course the fraud was at once
made public and corrected.

TIE STRIKE OYER

The indications are that the end of the
strike of the miners against the Reading com.
pany has come. The master workman Of the
mining district proposes that the men shall
return TO work at once on condition that
there shall be no discrimination against any
striker on account of his connection with
the strike and that after mining operations
are in regular progress the subject of wages
shall be considered in conference between
the Reading company and its employees
The company accepts the proposition on
the ground that 1t is substantially In accord
with the position which it took at the be-
ginning OF the strike, and has maintained
all along. But this position is defined on
two material points. The agreement TO take
back the strikers must not be construed as
covering the cases of the men who have
made, or tried to make, personal assaults
upon working miners. And the company
must not be expected to pay higher rate
Of wages than is paid by the competing coal
companies, though it is willing to give the
highest current rate. If the strikers were in
better heart, the company's definition might
lead to rupture of the negotiation, but as
things stand at this writing the resumption
of work is a foregone conclusion.

Attorney. General whyte, who had bee

Attorney General Whyte, who had been
requested to advise the committee on inter-
nal improvements iu regard TO the canal
question, on Tuesday suggested that con-
sttutional amendment should be submitted
to the vote of the people, so that the Legis-
lature might be empowered in its judgment
to make reasonable appropriations to save
the money the State had invested in the ca.
nal. This amendment, if voted upon and
adopted IN 1889, would give the Legislature
the opportunity to actin 1890 when 1t meets
In the meantime, he suggested, 1t would be
advisable to authorize the attorney general
to institute legal proceedings for the sale of
the canal under the mortgages Of the State,
and under which the canal has been SO
long in default; but that the sale should not
take place If the canal company could sus.
tain its current expenses until the L.gisla-
ture meets in 1890. Also, that, If necessary,
the comptroller Of the treasury be authorized
