THE Broad Ripple Gas Company has got
along with it's business fast enough to furnish
gas to the Bates House. The little tin bucket
of gas seems to grow, or hold ont as did the
widows little cruise of oil, and there is plenty
left for other consumers yet to come. The
Broad Ripple has made no fuss; it has gone
steadily ahead with its business. 1t has not
spent half its capital stock in printing circu-
lars, and appeals, and contracts; it has not
bothered the public with its private affairs,
but has gone ahead like sound, sensible
business institution, to supply the people
along the line of its pipes with gas. The
journal makes its ebeisance to the Broad
Ripple and its little tin bucket. IF the bigger
company, with large barrels of gas where the
Broad Ripple only had buckets full. would
show as much common sense and business
enterprise, the city of indianapolis would be
better off. The Broad Ripple company was
the first to come into the city, and thus far
keeps its place at the head of the procession.
The people want gas. and the Broad Ripple
has found customers for all it can supply

Why do we not hear now from the overly
smart free-trade organs, the sneer about "a
free chaw OF terbacker2" When Mr.. Blaine
proposed the repeal of the tobacco tax how
gleefully the free-trade fellows who know all
about political economy, chirped out feeble
jokes about the free chaw of terbacker;" but
since the most glittering ass in the country,
free-trader Mills and his free-trade committee
have recommended the same thing, there is
a sudden silence among the smart alexis.

THE Indianapolis Sentinel of Tuesday con-

HE indianapolis Sentinel or tuesday con-
tains the following:
1.-The Indianapolis correspondent of the
Commercial Gazette sends that paper more
than a column of disgusting twaddle about
the Harrison-Gapen cases and Governor Gray's
relation thereto. His whole screed is simply
a tissue of malicious falsehoods. and when it
is stated that he actually accuses the Governor
of scheming to retain Harrison and Gapen In
Office the auimus and character of the at
tack are sufficiently indicated. We don't
think it will prove a very valuable campaign
document for the Republicans"
In the name of the seven wonders of the
world. what mighty change has come over the
spirit of the Sentiners dreams9 During the
past year and half the Sentinel has devoted
great portion of its space to the task ofprov-
ing that the administration of the Insane
Asylum, under Harrison and Gapen, was the
most perfect and beautiful thing of its kind in
the civilized world and that it was the bright
est ornament of the Indiana Democracy. Now
the Sentinel becomes very indignant that
Governor Gray should be accused of an effort
to retain in office these most worthy and ex-
cellent men. The Sentinels conversion on
the subject is as wonderful as that of st.
Paul. Whatever may be the fact as to the
alleged scheme of Governor Gray to keep
Harrison and Gapen in Office, we do not see
why an organ devoted to the praise of these
worthy gentlemen should have any cause to
find fault with him for doing it.

read the result of this discomfort. Labor of

skilled, with that cry still ringing in their
ears, while their Judgment sleeps. has risen
up and refused to work, preferring no pay to
little pay. And with what result? Defeat.

and incidents when the strike was the only
court of appeals for the workingman, and the
evil lay in the abuse of the men and not in
the abuse of them. The methods used to
bring about a successful termination of
strikes, the abuse of property and even of
persons, has brought the very name into dis
repute, while the troubles of the laboring men
are rapidly becoming mere cant, and sympa-
thy for them is dying ont"
This was thought to be very conservative
talk when uttered, and so it was. In effect it
condemns strikes springing up while
Judgment sleeps" and generally ending in
defeat, disaster, and despair" Will the
present one be an exception9 We shall see.

BILLY WILLIAMS DEPARTS.
Becomes Disgusted with Alexandria
and Jumps the Town.

and Jumps the Town.
Mr.. Samuel Arnell, the night guardian
OF the Alexandria city jail, was called to
the court, on the south side Of the jail, on
Tuesday night last about II o'clock by the
loud barking Of a dog. Upon arriving
there he was very much astonlshed to find
three OF the prisoners, whom be supposed
safely locked within the bars OF cold iron,
IN the act Of making their escape. Helm.
mediately proceeded TO march them back
to their cell, where he found that, despite
what he thought was q timely alarm, the
noted outlaw and murderer, Billy Williams,
had succeeded IN making good his escape.
An examination developed the fact tnat
the window sill OF the cell In
which the three prisoners, including
Williams, had been lodged had
rotted partly away, and that by
little exertion the bricks around the jam
were easily removed until place large
enough for man to crawl through had
been made. A blanket was then torn into
strips and served as ladder for them to
let themselves down into the court below.
This done large. sand bag was tied to the
end Of the strips of blanket and thrown
over the jail wall, the bag catching In the
grooved wall. II was an easy matter to
climb to the top OF the wall and be let down
to freedom on the opposite side. Williams
was the first to try the scheme. 1t worked
for him, but thanks to q worthless dog Its
operations ceased before his unfortunate
companions could avail themselves of It.
A reward Of $50 has been offered for the
recapture Of Williams, and should he be
caught the authorities will no doubt take
care that rotten sills are placed beyond the
reach OF the famous Billy.

The President Ignored Judge stallo, our
minister at Rome, when he availed himself
Of the services OF Cardinal Gibbons to pre-
sent his jubilee gift to the pope. Judge
Stallo is simply accredited as minister to
Italy, and has no more to do with the pope
Lhan any person outside the diplomatic
service. The story about his having refused
to attend banquet because cardinal was
present is regarded by intimate friends OF
known as moral man, accomplished aud
courteous gentleman, is entirely incapable

Protestant clerg ymen.
