Ex-Governor Porter's Visitors.

The Flute Band from Knightsville. at the
head of many miners, called on ex- Governor
Porter during the afternoon, where a half hour
was pleasantly spent in music and cordial greet
iugs. The Ex-Governor thanked his visitors for
the call. and in continuing his brief remarks,
said: 8" have always taken an inter
est in your occupation. When L
was Governor one OF my first acts
was to choose one who had worked in them as
inspector of mines. / was sure he would be in
sympathy with the miners and would know what
would be necessary TO preserve the health and
give security to the miners in the collection of
their wages. Many received wages graduated by
weight, and he could observe through his
practical knowledge the correctness of
that system. The laws of 65 and
'S5 greatly increased the provision s
for preserving the health, life and security Of
wages. The amendments to the mining law
were made upon the recommendations of the in.
epector, which were submitted to the General
Assembly. While l was in official station it al
ways gave me great pleasure to try to subserve
the interests Of those who live by manual labor.
/ have bad in return the satisfaction of feeling
that l shared their confidence"
After the visitors had shaken hands with the
Ex-Governor and Interchanged with him ex
p~ressions Of good will they retired, the band
playing an inspiring air.

One result OF the recent electrical disturbance
has been to cause confusion IN the minds Of
many as to the relative status OF the Jenney
Electric Company OF this city aud the Fort
Wayne "~Jsnney1 Elsctric-light Company. The
adverse criticism of the light OF the latter dur.
ing the past month is likely to affect the former
iujuriously unless explained. Four years ago
Mr.. Jenney left the Fort Wayne company and
became the electrician Of the Jepney Electric
Company, which was organized to manufacture
under his patents and improvements. He has
made many and radical changes and improve
ments, and no Investigating committee has ever
pronounced our light second 10 any other. We
think it the best Of all. As you, ia common
with other papers. have been using the word
"Jenney" rather ind iscriminasely win you kindly

Keep Up the Comparisons.


To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journan
The writer believes that the Journal Is dis
cussing the political questions before the people
in a spirit of fairness, but with a vigor and
ability second to no paper in the West.
Its editorial, Democracy and Government"
in issue of the 2lst. is especially commended
for a concise and comprehensive statement OF
ncontrovertible facts. While the American
people are more than ever before studying
political problems with the tariff prs-eminens
In the mind. such gereralities az are set forth In
that article must not be lost sight OF.
The conduct OF both the dominant parties has
gone into history and we younger voters depend
largely upon that medium for reliable informa-
lion concerning what have been the accomplish
ments or failures OF either party.
Though comparisons be cruel. let them be
made; hold up to The light the achievements Of
TIE one party and the failures OF the other; lei
rs have four months OF political training; let "a
J nave the fullest Investigation Of facts and results.

Facts for American workingmen.

To the Editor OF the INDIANAPOLIS journal:
We have in our employ workmen who have
been Democrats. but who will now vote fos
Harrison and protection. Among the numbes
is Mr.. Joseph Ethridge. our engineer, who has
been in our employ for about sixteen years. He
told me that he worked at the same business In
England for 81. so per day, aud that was extra
good wages there. He receives more than
double that here. He said he came to this coun-
try to better himself. and that he mad done so,
but be did not propose to give his vote to make
his wages here what they were 10 England.
There are a number Of other Democrats in tho
mill who will do the same. These are facts I
thought it would be good to publish.

turn. for. although the weather was fay.
orable during the period Of blooming,
the temperature since then has been
entirely too low for this cereal. In re-
gard to the cat crop, which is more in
dependent of climate influences, the
prospect is not so discouraging, but
there is a want of uniformity in its
condition. Wherever over luxuriance
exists the excessive rains have caused a
good deal of Judgment, while in the
case Of light, poor soils thinly seeded
the ears have become so much tossed
that weeds are now in many instances
gaining The ascendancy. On medium
soils, however. an average yield of oats
is pretty certain to be realized. The
same observations apply to barley, but
in the case of this the weather is just
now Of greater moment. Hay is very
plentiful crop, but there is decline in
the quality owing to the difficulty Of
harvesting. Pastures have rarely been
SO bountiful at this season. The conse-
quences is that more cattle is being
reared, and their value has likewise be-
come enhanced. Dairy farming is prov
ing more remuneratiye this year than
any other branch Of our agricultural
industry, and the return OF butter is
greater than usual.
