Republican LawIessness.
THE Indianapolis Journal saws:

Efforts to enforce the Sunday closing law in
Cincinnati have thus lar practically failed. In
i've trials there have been two acqulttals, two
dSagreements and one conviction. The most
discouraging feature of the case is that where
the testimony for the prosecution is clear and
none is offered in defense the juries fail to
convict. This makes justice a farce, but 1t
demonstrates the impossibility of enforcing
law without public sentiment behind it, and it
must not be too far behind either.
Cincinnati paper, describing the state
of affairs that prevailed Sunday, says that
''the Owen law was dead to all practical
intents and purposes so far as Cincinnati
was concerned. Nearly every saloon on
Vine-st., from Fourth-st. to McA1icken-
ave., had some means of ingress, and it is
doubtful if there were twenty-five saloons
in the city, all told, which were really
closed. Some were kept boldly open and
the usual Sunday crowds streamed in and
out"
Cincinnati is an intensely republican
city. The republican majority at the last
election was over ten thousand. Every
department of the city government is in
republican hands All the officers charged
with the administration of the Owen law
are republicans. And yet, as the Journal
admits, this law is dead letter in Cincin-
natl.
In the democratic cities of Ohio the
Owen law, like other laws, is enforced. 1t
is only in the republican stronghold of
Cincinnati that it is openly defed and
contemptuously trampled upon.
We hear a good deal from republican
newspapers and politicians to the effect
that the republican party is the party of
law and order. They also have good
deal to say about democratic sympathy
with lawlessness.. We should like to have
them, if they can, point to a democratic
community which presents such a specta-
Gle of lawlessness as is to be witnessed
every Sunday in the republican strong
hold of Cincinnati.
How superlatively hypocritical and dis
gushing do republican pretensions to supe-
rior decency, morality and regard for law
appear in the face of the record which the
republican administration in Cincinnati is
making for itself!

Allen G.. Thurman Unmasked.

It's just as We expected. THURMAN
has been exposed. His nomination for
the vice-presidency has already caused
him to be shown up in his true colors.
He has been posing all these years as a
statesman, patriot and an honest man.
And yet il appears that more than a quar-
ter of century ago he was guilty of such
deeds as should bring the blush of shame,
even now, to his aged cheeks, and cause
the American people to execrate his very
namel
1t is FoRAKER-FoRAKER of Ohio-who
has uncovered the Thurman villainy. He
tells the shocking story in very few
words, but with simplicity and direct
ness that leave no room to doubt its
truth. Although he doesn't vouch for il
himself, he expresses his full belief in it,
and says that "many" at Columbus FAC
cept it," Here it is, word for word, as
FORAKER gave it TO a reporter:
IL is matter of common report, and accepted
by many, including myself, though was not
here TO positively know 1t, that Judge THUR

Chase, three or four miles from here, during
the war.
The story, unfortunately, is true. In
deed Judge THURMAN himself admits it.

No section of the country is to-day attractins

Washington; Montana because it now ranks
first in the production of precious metals;
Oregon because of its rich valleys, and Wash

Spokane Falls, with water power exceeding

Pat Ford RIoviates.

PAT FoRD's heart is cast down. PAT
FORD is the editor of the Irish World of
New York, and is victim OF the de-
fusion that he carries a large part OF the
Irish vote in his trousers pocket. He
took contract to deliver that vote to
BLAINE in 1884. and is prepared to take
similar contract this year. But BLAINE's
refusal to be candidate has completely
unnerved him, and he declares that if the
Chicago convention does not ignore
BLAINE's declination and make him its
candidate, sit will be black day for the
republican party" He adds:
have no advice to offer either to the readers
Of the Irish World or any one else. / simply
record my opinion that, without BLAINE as
the Standard earer and champion of our
cause, defeat seems inevitable. 1t looks now
as If it would be a go-as-you-please game at
Chicago, and that Folly and Selfshness would
have IL all their own way. In that event
shall remain independent of either party dur
ing the campaign.
PAT's "Blaine-or-buster." He is also
a good deal OF ahumbug. The Irish voters
of the country know him and few of them
trust him. Heisamercenary adventurerin

during the campaign it will be only be-
cause neither of the great parties bids
high enough for his support. His cham
pionship of either ticket will lose 1t more
votes than it will attract. Whatever PAT
does, it is to be hoped he will not come
out for CLEVELAND and THURMAN.

The Political Outlook.

We print elsewhere an interesting and
suggestive letter from well informed oc-
casional correspondent of THE SENTINEL
at Washington, which describes the politi-
cal situation as it appears at the national
capital. Sagacious republicans, it seems,
have little hope of electing a president
this year. They realize that the odds are
overwhelmingly against them, that on the
tariff question the democratic position is
at once right and popular, and that only
by ''fuke" can any republican who may
be named at Chicago hope to reach the
White House The republicans in con-
gress, however, are determined to prevent
any reduction in the tariff before the cleo
ton, and ii, by any chance they should sue
coed in November, their intention is to
repeal the internal revenue taxes in toto,
rendering it impossible for the tariff to be
reformed for years to come. This is I'M
questionably their programme, and though
It will not be openly avowed at Chicago,
the platform will point that way. Mean
time they will play the part of obstruc-
tionists at Washington, as they have been
doing since congress assembled-pro-
posing nothing, in their own behalf, but
offering blind, sullen resistance to the
efforts OF the democrats to relieve the peo-
pies burdens. 1t is this stupid and short
sighted policy which is rapidly alternating
from the republican party the progress
sive and hberal-minded voters in the
country, and reducing it to the level of a
mere pack horse for monopoly.
The democrats in Washington are in
high feather, and well they may be. The
democratic skies were never brighter, the
democratic prospects never more fatter-
ing. The stars in their course are fight
ing for the grand old party of the consti-
tuition.
Down with the war taxes.

pathies even of those to whom emper-
ors and kings are denominations.
There will be few to withhold
from the dead monarch that tribute of res
pect and admiration which are due to him
who faces danger bravely, endures suffer
ing patiently, and flinches not in the pres
ence of the universal enemy. FREDERICK
was brave man, and if his life had been
prolonged there is reason to believe that
his reign would have been enlightened
and progressive.
His successor does not possess the
qualities which commended FREDERICK
to the worlds esteem, and his access
sion to the throne is not an event
upon which Germany or Europe is to be
felicitated. He is understood to be amere
puppet in the hands of BISMARCK, and so
long as the chancellor lives the latter will
doubtless shape the imperial policy. But
BISMARCK is an old man, and when he is
gone the Hohenzollern dynasty will meet
its crisis. The German people are per
meated with democratic ideas, and have
long been restless under the iron rule of
BISMARCK. When his strong hand is re-
moved there promises to be such an up
heaval in the Fatherland as will shake
the existing government to its very
foundation, if indeed it does not topple
1T over altogether. Young WILLIAM
has neither the moral nor intellectual
qualities which will be needed in the
ruler of Germany in such an emergency.

Facts About "The Sentinel"

THE SENTINEL is making splendid pro-
gress in all directions.
The regular bona fide circulation OF the
daily issue is to-day larger than that OF
any other morning paper in Indiana. No
morning paper, printed in or out OF the
state, has now, or ever has had a circulation
in Indiana approximating that of THE
DAILY SENTINEL.
THE SUNDAY SENTINEL is growing in
popularity with every issue. The general
excellence and pleasing variety of its con-
tents commends it to intelligent readers
wherever it is accessible on the day OF its
publication. 1t is admitted to be net only
the best Sunday paper printed in Indiana,
but the best Sunday paper that is circu-
lated in Indiana.
THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL weekly
has always enjoyed a larger cir
culation than any other weekly pub
LEGATION in Indiana. Its constituency
is swelling every day. 1t goes to
almost every postofice in the state,
and to hundreds of postoffices in other
states.
The several editions of THE SENTINEL
daily, weekly and Sunday-are pre-emi-
nently the best advertising mediums
available to the business men of Indian
apolis, or others who desire to reach the
people of Indiana. The readers of THE
SENTINEL are, as a rule, intelligent,
thrifty and enterprising people. They
have varied wants and the means of
gratifying them. Their trade is very de-
sirable and there is no better way to ''cul-
tivate" it than by advertising literally in
The SENTINEL. The great majority Of THE
SENTINEL readers cannot be reached through
anu other medium

The Tape-Worm Party.
TChicago Globe.1

The cartoonists are already in the field, and
are expending rare ingenuity in their efforts to
reach the vulnerable points in the harness of
their adyersarieS. One cartoon just issued in
Chicago is, beyond doubt one of the most eff
fective and elaborate of anything of the kind.
1t is map of the United States and territories,
over which is coiled an enormous tape-worm
that represents the republican party. 1t is so
coiled about that it touches some portion of
every state and the territories, indicating the
reach OF the party. The head of the worm is
Blaine, and is located in Maine.
1t is a jointed worm, and on each joint is
printed something having reference to the
acts of the republican party, or what the worm
has swallowed. Among the labels appear such
as millions stolen by the whisky ring"
Credit MObilier steal" SALARY steal" "Pro-
tected sugar and free tobacco, ""Postal frauds, -
and, in brief, all the principal thefts and
swindles of the republicans while in power
the things swallowed by the voracious repub-
hcan tape-worm.
This cartoon, the product of some Chicago
genius, places before the eye, at single glance,
the entire iniquitOus history of republican mis-
rule. 1t presents name, that of the tape
worm party, which is exactly appropriate to
the party TO which tits applied and Characteristic
OF its relations to the country. Its enormous
swallowing capacity can not be so well ex-
pressed by any other name.

The Chicago Convention.

At the hour of going to press it is sim
ply impossible for us even to guess APP
proximately who will be the republican
nominee for the presidency. 1t seems to
be generally understood that Senator
SHERMAN will lead on the first ballot and
it may be that he will be the lucky or the
unlucky one. in the meantime our read
ers will find elsewhere in this issue, all
the important news from Chicago up to
the usual time for putting the weekly
edition of The SENTINEL to press. In our
next issue we will complete the story of
the Chicago republican convention of 1883.

Bright Prospects in Indiana.

The campaign opens auspiciously for
the democrats in Indiana. The nominal
tons for president and vice-president are
immensely popular, not only with
straight democrats" but with the people
generally. The democratic platform,
with its ringing demand for the repeal of
monopoly taxes, is entirely in accord with
the predominating sentiment of Indiana
The democratic state ticket, headed by
two gallant soldiers, is admitted to be
strong at every point. The democratic
nominations for congress, sc far as made,
are, without exception, excellent. Alto
gether the democratic party of Indiana
never entered presidential campaign in
better form or with more encouraging
prospects.

Luxuriant Hair

Can only be preserved by keeping the
scalp clean, cool, and free from dam
druff, and the body in a healthful
condition. The great popularity of
Ayers Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the
growth of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.
Frederick Hardy, of Roxbury, Mass,
a gentleman fifty years of age, was fast
losing his hair, and what remained was
growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced
the use of Ayers Hair Vigor. 1T

The Emperor,s Death.

Emperor FREDERICK is dead. He made

grim determination of the warrior. He
resisted, with desperate energy, the adj
vances of the fatal malady which had fast
ened itself upon him, and long after the
hopelessness of his case had impressed
itself upon the world he cherished the
hope Of ultimate recovery. There was
something profoundly pathetic in this
sturdy Teuton's gallant struggle against
the memorable destiny which had marked
him for dissolution just as he had reached

improvements in 1.-THE Sentinel"

A new feature is about to be introduced
in The SENTINEL which will, we have no
doubt, increase very largely its already
great popularity. We have added to our
staff a talented artist, and provided COM
plete mechanical outfit, for the purpose of
illustrating all important articles that ap-
pear in these columns. The most impor-
tant and successful newspapers of the
country are now profusely illustrated. 1t
adds not little to the value and interest
of news and descriptive matter to illus
trate its salient features. The process of
makingnewspaper pictures has been vastly
improved during the last year or two. By
employing the most approved methods,
splendid results are now obtained. The
system which THE SENTINEL has adopted
is used by many of the leading newspapers
in America. By this system accurate
pictures can be produced in an astonish-
ingly short time. With its new equip
ment TIE SENTINEL will be prepared to
illustrate very fully and faithfully all
passing events of Importance, either in In
dianapolis or elsewhere. A speciality will
be made of illustrations in our Sunday is
sue, which will be introduced in connec-
ton with descriptive and special articles
OF all kinds.
We think the people of Indiana will be
more than pleased with this new feature
of THE SENTINEL.
We may add that other improvements
not less important are in contemplation.
THE SENTINEL is universally pronounced
a very good paper now, but we intend to
keep making it better all the time.

Indifferent But Not Impolite.

The utter indifference shown by the recent
convention to "Woman's Rights" cannot be
correctly attributed TO a lack of politeness.
The convention strained courtesy in giving the
privileges of the floor TO an outsider, who as it
knew would tell it nothing it had not heard
repeatedly beforehand. 1t might well have
listened more closely, but all who have had
any experience with very large gatherings
know il is impossible TO induce them TO feign
an attention they do not feel. The st. Louis
convention was represen tative body, il there
ever was one, and its indifference to what some
few earnest and well-meaning people regard as
gross and unjust determinations on account of
sex, reflects the Indifference of the country. In
difference is not heartlessness, but TO "a cause
it is more cruel than heartlessness.
