THAT was very remarkable exhibition of
temper the part of Judge Winfield, of Lo-
gansport, when he imposed an additional PEN
atty of nine years on young criminal be-
original sentence of five years. Doubtless the
offender is depraved rascal, but it is to be
presumed that Eve years imprisonment was
regarded a sufficient punishment for his
original crime of burglary, longer term
would have been fixed. In adding nine years
for contempt of court it must be said that
passion was displayed quite reprehensible
as that shown by the undisciplined, ignorant
youth on trial. 1t is not good precedent for
courts to follow

A Republican Revival.


The announcement that Ex-Governor War
moth will accept the Republican nomination
for Governor in Louisiana, and will make a
thorough canvass of the State, will surprise q
good many people.
OF course the idea is not to be entertained
that the Republicans strong enough to carry
Louisiana but the fact that they ready for
a campaign. with such man as Warmoth at
their head, should bid pause
Among the so-called carpet baggers who in
vaded the South after the this man War.
moth was entitled to stand at the head of the
procession. During the stirring scenes OF
construction he displayed holiness. brilancy
and dash which caused even his enemies to
admire him. In the Southwest man must be
distinguished by personal courage if he at
tempts to make his way in public life. War
moth has this requisite He is as brave aIman
ever stepped. In moro than one encounter he
has shown tina. he afraid of nothing, and
that he was abundantly able to take of
himself.
All this counts for something, and it goes
without saying that Warmoths candidacy will
do a great deal toward making the Republican
party respectable in louisiana Perhaps, after
all. there is nothing to be regretted in this. If
the revival of Repubicanism in the South means
that the ablest men of the party are to be put
forward upon well-considered platforms, nobody
will object. There will be fair fight, and the
people will be willing to the best side and
the best man win.

WHETHER the South favors 1.-The old flag

WHETHER the South favors 'the old flag"
or not, it is solid for an appropriation. The
House has appropriated 800, 900 each for GOV
eminent buildings in Greenville, S. c.; Ashe-
vile, n. c., Springfield, Mo-, and Monroe,
La. According to the last census these four
towns ad an aggregate population of 1888
all told. No Northern city or town of II, 900
population has ever received 500, 900 for
public building, yet these four Southern
towns get $500, 900. The Journal favors a
liberal policy in the erection of government
buildings, and would be glad to see a suitable
postofice building erected in every consider
able town in the United States. But these
Southern appropriations indicate gross favor
itism. The towns above named do not COM
pare in point of business with average North
ern towns of the same population. There are
good many cities and country towns in In
diana of far more Importance than any of
them, yet there are but two cities in the
State-Indianapolis and Evansville-that
have government buildings. These appro-
priations simply Democratic tribute to
the solid South.

THE Republican army began the work of
mobilization yesterday, by the election of
members of the State central committee.
The list shows that in each of the districts
the effort succeeded to secure thoroughly
representative man. The committee is
thoroughly good one; there are men of long
experience and of tried Judgment, while
there is a creditable and promising infusion
of new blood. The committee will meet in
this city, on the 16th for the purpose of or
ganization. The campaign opens auspiciously
on the working side. And it is to be noticed
that our reports show large and enthusiastic
meetings everywhere.

THE woman suffragists of Wisconsin, and
their sympathizers elsewhere are disappointed
over the decision by the Supreme Court of
the right to vote at municipal elections can
not be construed to give them the privilege at
all elections. They ought not to be disap-
pointed, but should rather feel shame over
the attempt to secure by trick privileges
which it was acknowledged the Legislature
did not mean to bestow. Women who are
undertaking to reform the world cannot afford
to gain their ends by any but the most
straig htforward means.

THE Birmingham (Ala.) Age does not hesi-
tate to tell the truth. It says, regarding the
recent municipal election in Jackson, Miss,
in defense of former statement that the
votes of the colored people We're suppressed
fWhen the press and people of Mississippi
admit this fact, and admit it openly, and give
their reasons for so doing, it be expected
that the Age is going to stultfy itself by de-
nying that the negro vote suppressed
The Age believes that the good people of
jackson, although they acted in such a way
as to antagonize the law and spirit of our gov
eminent, did the only thing they believed
could be done to save themselves from ruin
and destruction We say the same thing has
been done elsewhere in the South, and we are
not ashamed to admit it, because it is simply
the truth It never hurts to tell
the truth, and the truth is simply this, the
Southern white people ARE fixed in their de-
termination to preserve their supremacy be
the cost what it may to the negro or them
Selves"
We can certainly admire the frankness Of
this. 1t is here distinctly avowed that the
votes of the colored people will be suppressed
whenever and wherever the white peopleeon-
clude it may be necessary to preserve their
domination. It is just as lawful or honorable
as if the Coy gang were to have given notice
to the Republicans of Marion county that, if
necessary. the tally-sheets would be forged to
preserve the domination" of the Democratic
party. One crime is precisely the same as
the other; yet otherwise good men who are
rejoicing over the conviction of the tally
sheet forgers in Indianapolis shrek ''bloody-
shirt" if an effort is made to punish like Grim
body in the North ventures to deprecate or
denounce the outrage.

IT is thought that the bill changing the
date of the presidential Inauguration from
March to April 80. will pass both houses of
Congress this session. The bill also provides
for the opening of Congress on the 18th day
of October, thus equalizing the length of the
sessions and allowing more time. The long
session will begin Oct. Is, and if necessary
can be continued till June; the short session
will begin on Oct. Is and close April so.

A STORY has gained some currency in Eastern
papers relative to an alleged gigantic Anglo
American commercial scheme in which Jay Gould,
the Rothschilds, the Duke of Devonshire, the
Duke of Westminster and others were said to be
interested. Mr.. George Gould being asked about
it, said there no truth in the story, adding:
My father doesn't know any of these dukes; he
doesn't train with that set; he's too democratic"
This sets Jay Gould right before the public. IL
he ever wants to run for Office in this country he
must not train with dukes.

In his last Sundays sermon preface. Rev. DR..

Tam age said:
.'And here I will tell a secret that I have
never before told in public. About twenty
years ago began to pray that God would open
to me the opportunity of preaching through the
secular newspaper press. The religious papers
in which my sermons had been published chiefly
went to positively religious families. So I
asked God for the wider field in which to pro-
claim the great truths of religion and good NOR
ais. In strange way the answer came. And
the syndicate having charge of these matters in
form that every week there are now
Is, 600, 900 copies of my discourses published in
this country. and about 4, 900, 900 in other lands,
whether glish-speaking countries by trans
Iation in many foreign tongues. l want people
to understand that it is all in answer to prayer
to God that this opportunity has come, and pray
for grace to occupy the field"
Then the Doctor suddenly took his sermon syn
dictate away from one agent and gave it to an
other. without notice, simply because he could
obtain &c per cent higher price for his gospel
truth. Was that in answer to prayer2 The Doc
tor should go further in revealing the secrets of
the sermon syndicate.
