The Outrage at Redkey.

Special to the Indianapolis JournaK.
REDKEY. July Sit has been published in
an Indianapolis paper that a Prohibition speaker
was egged in this place by the Republicans, and
that other injuries have been inflicted on per-
sons Of that party by the same persons. The
writer Of the communication stating these facts
bears tho name in his own neighborhood of
common liar" The facts are that a company
of Prohibitionists came here and were esged by
some unknown persons. Thorough investiga-
ton, however, has revealed the facts that the
perpetrators were Democrats and not Republic
ans, upon whom they sought to lay the blame.
It also turns out that two of the party. who did
the egging, were Prohibitionists Thus, after
Investigation. the reported Republican intol-
erance' becomes only a Democratic scheme to.
excite prejudice against innocent nep.

The Republican party cannot afford to ignore

pressed in the 5000 majority that they gave
for Robertson as Lieuteusnt-governor which
can only be properly rebuked-now that Gov.
Porter will not be a candidate, by nominating
Robertson as our leader. Indeed, the ticket
should be Robertson and Sayre. To desert

Dennis Walkers Singular Experience.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, July 3l.-A team belonging to
Dennis Walker, of Switzerland county, was
found in . stable here to-day. Last week a
stranger left his team at one of the stables. say
ing he was from Switzerland county, but was
going home to pack up and move West. He
wanted the team left here until he came through
on the cars, and then they were to be shipped
with his other stuff. This morning a peiehbor
of Walkers arrived here in search of the team.
Walker had returned home mentally dazed, as
from sunstroke, and could give no account Of
himself, except that he had been to Lafayette.
The team was found here. Walker does not
know when or how he got home, and remembers
nothing from the time of putting up his horses.
He had about $50 when he arrived home. which
causes the belief that he has been affected oy
the heat and lost his memory.

srantly kept at the house where the men and
two women are being cared for, and, il the

but they are rough and courageous back
men, and declare that no more white Cap
outrages shall be perpetrated in their neighbor-
hood.

TAKEN FOR GRANTED.

The REVIEW takes some things for
granted. For instance, it takes it for
granted that voters will support the
ticket that represents their political
views. If they favor the doctrine of
protective tariff, and are opposed to
the rule of stuffed ballot boxes, it is to
be supposed they have sense enough
to vote for men who represent these
views. Hence, we have not thought
it necessary to indulge in frantic ap-
peals to republicans, and those who
believe in the principles of the party
as expressed in its platform, to vote
the republican ticket. The opinion of
the REVIEW on this subject is ex-
pressed exactly in the platform adopted
by the Spokane county republican
convention: "That protection to
American labor and its products is the
overriding issue of this campaign, and
it is highly essential to the success of
that doctrine that the republican party
prevail at the next election in every
state, territory and county in the
American nation" ii there is man
on the republican county ticket un-
worthy of support, the REVIEW is not
aware of the fact.
The REVIEW is also pleased to be-
lieve that the personnel of the demo
cratic county ticket is likewise excel
lent.
Therefore, we are not called upon to
make invidious and distasteful COM
parisons between individuals. What
we are called upon to do is to express
our political convictions by our bal
lots, and when this is done, as it will
shortly be done, the entire republican
ticket-national, territorial and county
will he elected by handsome ma
iorities,

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

Senator Dolph's joint resolution pro-
viding for the proper representation of
this country, at the international exposi-
tion, will enable us to display to the peo-
pile of the Old World the wonderful pro-
gress we have made since the day when a
French fleet and an American army COM
PEELED the surrender Of CORVALLIS at
Yorktown. Although the relations be-
tween America and the government of
France have been strained, at times, there
has always existed between the people of
the two countries a feeling Of the warmest
friendship, due, in great part, to the cir.
cumstance referred to and the incidents
that led up to it. France and America
have bond of sympathy that connects no
other people. Both inaugurated, in the
same century, great revolution for the
rights of man.
tits eminently proper for congress to
provide literally for our participation in
the coming worlds fair, not only as a
recognition of the claim the people of
Fraice have upon our friendship, but also
as a means of displaying the vast and va
ried resources of our country.

HA WILEY AND DUBOIS.

Mr.. Hawley, the democratic candi-
date for congress in Idaho, in his
speech at Salmon City declared in re-
gard to annexation: "That he was
strongly opposed to it, and that fair
Idaho should never lose even one foot
OF her territory, if he could prevent
it,"
And in regard to the tariff: "That
he was not in favor of free trade, but
protective tariff, that he was a
miner and should, if elected, use his
utmost endeavor to further the min
ing interests of Idaho"
And in regard to the Mormons: :
"That he had done more than any
other man to suppress polygamy and
make good law-abiding citizens of the
Latter Day Saints"
Mr.. Dubois occupies the same posi-
ton upon each OF these questions.
Upon the last two OF them, the RE-
VIEW is in accord with the gentlemen !;
upon the third-annexation---its stands
on the Washington territory republi-
can platform and favors the annex...
ton OF Northern Idaho. In 80 doing,
it not only voices the sentiment OF
Washington territory, but OF the Pan
handle. Dubois and Hawley are both
South Idaho men, nominated nv
South Idaho men, and will. il elected,
represent the wishes OF South Idaho
on the annexation question. The RE-
VIEW advises the annexationist of
Northern Idaho not TO vote for any
man who is opposed to the Stewart
bill, which submits the whole question
to the people for their decision, at the
ballot box, instead of leaving it where
it now is, in the hands Of those who
live by politics.

A COMMON ERROR.

The New Orleans States. in an article
attacking ''the pharisaical piety of the
Purihns of to-day and the vilainous pol
icy sf their pilgrim fathers" and sus-
taining the position of Senator Eustis on
the subject of NEGRO inequality" in
dulge in vehement denunciation of negro
social equality. 1t is common error to
suppose the negro at the South desires to
be put on footing of social intimacy
with the whites. On the contrary, it is
well-known fact that he prefers the society
of his own race. So far does this feeling
extend that but few negroes attend those
white churches to which they are invited,
prefesring as universal rule to worship
at churches of their own. On the Rich
mond & Danville railroad, which sells
no second.class tickets, the negroes rarely
enter coach in which the whites are
seated, prefering to ride together in a
car which, though less comfortable, is
intended for their exclusive use, although
very often partly occupied, as matter of
choice, by the whites. All this talk about
negro social equality is mere rot, and re-
minds US of the days when the favorite
democratic answer to every political prob
lem was contained in the questions How

AN OPPORTUNITY.
The fourteen Sioux chiefs on their way
to see the "Big American Injun" at
Washington, will have an opportunity to
air their grievances, ride free on the street
cars and feed at the public expense. IL
there is an orator in the party he can be
of great service by consenting to teach our
congressman little of the forgotten art of
eloquence, but we are at loss to suggest
employment to the warriors, unless they
hire out to dime museum.
Governor Seward used to relate an
amusing incident of Red Cloud, who, when
presented to the distinguished secretary Of
state and asked how he felt, replied
"When | got here was tall and thin;
now am low and fat President stuff me
full of id lies"
THE house democrats, having occupied
eight months in airing their views on the
tariff, are in terrible sputter to have
the senate agree to an immediate adjourn
ment. The truth is, nobody in either
party ever expected the two houses to
agree on the tariff bill. Each represents,
in the bills presented, the views Of their
respective parties, and each helps to define
more sharply, if possible, the line Of di-
vision on this subject. IL the senators
want to indulge in little protective tariff
oratory, what's the odds.

EXCURSION TRAINS.

Although 1t is true that more people die
peacefully in bed than are killed by the
railroads, nevertheless. such collisions as
the one that occurred Wednesday on the
Lehigh Valley road are calculated to shake
the confidence of the travelling public in
railroad management, especially of excur-
sion trains. The killing of forty people
and the fatal wounding of as many more,
isan occurrence deserving the severest con-
demnation and inviting the severest pun.
ishment Of those..if such there be.-.to
whose negligence the accident is due. As
usual in such cases, the telegraph reports
an inability ito establish connection with
the scene Of the disaster, and the refusal
OF the railroad officials--.if they know any
thing..-to give information to the public"
Doubtless their silence is due to orders
from headquarters, prompted by fear of
legal proceedings, on the part of those
whose relatives have been slaughtered.
The law should provide for such case.
Some one ON each train should be COM
missioned to report Immediately every &C.
cident accompanied with serious injury or
DEATH and an officer of the law dispatched
at once to the scene Of action. There is no
reason why excursion trains, of all others,
should not be free from danger. They are
