Condition of Indiana Crops.

The crop and fruit killer come annually
to Indiana with the precision OF the
planets or the regularity OF the train on
schedule time. This year is no exception.
The usual danger signals were hoisted
Immediately after the cold snap of last
week, and We must confess that, with
a desire to hug the fireplace and
don the cast-oh overcoat, came
fear that Jack Frost had broken his
Indiana record and accomplished more
than usual mischief. Prompt answers,
however, from SENTINEL correspondents, in
response to our inquiries, enable us to
place before our readers this morning re-
liable information regarding the con-
dition Of the various crops of the state.
Contrary to general expectation, the recent
cold and frost did no very great amount OF
damage. The general poor condition of
wheat reported is the result OF various
causes that obtained during the fall and
winter months. The corn acreage is I'M
usually large in almost every county
and the planting concluded, except in
northern counties. That already up
is in fair general condition, although
cut-worm devastations arc noted in
several southern counties. No ma
terial damage 10 fruits was effected
with the exception OF grapes, which have
been killed outright in numerous locali-
ties. There is nothing discouraging in the
present outlook, exceptas regards wheat,
and this, with recent copious rains and the
warm weather which must surely come in
the very near future, may after all put
forth a generous and surprising harvest.

Gifts of Poison.

II is time that respectable merchants COM
bined with consumers for the suppression Of
all gift, prize and lottery schemes in connec-
ton with the sale OF articles OF merchandise.
These schemes are not only demoralizing to
legitimate business and TO the morals of the
community, but in the extent in which they
are being carried in the sale Of articles of food
have become q source of great danger to the
public health They are, matter in what
form they appear, nothing more or less than
devices to swindle honest and unsuspecting
people.
II is gratifying to learn that in some in
stances the officers the law have taken hold
of the matter. In New York, and also in Chi
cago, parties who in this way offered gifts to
purchasers of their packages have recently
been arrested upon indictments for lottery
swindlinc The latest candidates, both for
ton, are the manufacturers of the
alum baking powders, who are bOth
by means of gifts and lottery tickets,
dsposing of large quantities of their corrosive
w poisonous compounds, which are so well
known to be detrimental 10 health that no
housekeeper will admit them to her kitchen
knowingly. This form of swindle is not only
being peddled from house 10 house, but under
the promise of large profits to be realized, the
manufacturers are entrenching themselves be-
hind the counters OF many grocers by getting
them 10 offer the alum goods with the gifts or
lottery tickets attached, thereby shifting the
liability TO prosecution, in part, upon other,
and perhaps innocent parties. Every grocer or
dealer for instance, who sells or offers for sale
any Of the prize or lottery baking powders is a
criminal in the eye OF the law and liable, upon
conviction, 10 fine end imprisonment while
those who sell the gift goods arc, morally, rs
responsible, for they are offering an induce
ment, or prize, to.housekeepers 70 use a food
that contains o corrosive poison. This is pre-
dicament in which il is not possible our gro

come 20 think seriously of the matter.
Il must be borne In mind that every one Of
these gift or prize baking powders alum
baking powders. These powders cost less than
four cents pound 10 produce; the gift or prize
costs but n few cents more. They are sold at
the price of first-cass baking powder, so that
the swindlc in a commercial sense, is enormous
But the chief iniquity Of the business consists
in selling as presumably wholesome, an article
of n positively injurious character, and by
means of gifts or brides inducing servants or
unsuspecting housekeepers to purchase and use
Il in our daily food,
There should be some prompt method OF
reaching these dangerous practices and punish

A SUBSCRIBER at Ellettsville. Ind, asks
The SENTINEL 10 explain what is meant by
the term "watered stock" II means stock
or shares in corporation which do not
represent tangible property or an actual
investment of money. Thus, ii a manu-
featuring company were organized, and
100000 invested in plant while 500, 900
in stock were issued, the stock would be
one-half awatern A large proportion Of
the stock OF most railroad, telegraph, oil
telephone, gas, electric-light, mining and
other corporations is "water," and Il is
the desire TO earn dividends upon this
water" which does not stand for actual
property and represents no investment,
that induces these corporations to practice
extortion upon the people. Many insti-
tutions which earn only or per cent.

when It's Pleasant 20 be a Republic

BARRows, the republican charged with
repeating, was acquitted Friday in
Judge WOODS court. The result occa-
sions no surprise. BARRows had corps Of
able republican lawyers to defend him;
had plenty OF republican money to pay
them with didn't have the Committee Of
One Hundred to fight The district attor-
ney had no assistance in the prosecution.
And the charge TO the jury was eminently
judicial fithat is to say, it was not the
sort of a charge Judge WooDs has been
known to make in similar cases.
Well, it's a nice thing to be a republican
or a relative of the court-when one is
indicted by the federal grand jury for the
district OF Indiana.

A Noted Gamblers Revelations.

Grimes Committed ty Series.

Another curious phenomenon revealed by
French criminal statistics is that certain
classes OF crimes occur by series. We had
not long ago series of murders in which the
victims were cocottcs, and Just now we are
having a series Of old women murders There
are those who say that each author of an

ate and initiate his manner. This strange

crimes has nothing abnormal about 1t; its
workings have been noticed in persons who
were perfectly honest. A year OF so ago

JOURNALISM IN VIENNA.
Manner Of Conducting the Austrian Daily
Paper-JournaHstic Courtesy.

MANNER Oh ScnuuCtSnR the AUSTRIAN DAILY

Journalism in VIENNA is quite different
affair from journalism in either Berlin, Paris,
London or New York Not only is the mum
Der Of newspapers published in the Austrian
capital much smaller, there being only eleven
dailies, but the manner of conducting them
is also different from that followed in the
other European centers. With the exception
Of these tho Viennsse newspapers appear
twice a day-in the morning in time to catch
the mails, and at Q in the afternoon after
the closing OF the Bourse Only one appears
three times day, adding to the issues already
named supplement distributed about 6 in
the evening.
The comparatively small number Of news
papers published in Vienna is doubtless owing
to the diversity Of languages Spoken through
out the empire, and which necessarily limits
the circulation Of metropolitan journals to
those provinces In which German Is spoken.
1t is also to be noted that no papers are al
lowed to be sold in the public streets, there
being no stands, and the police regulations
absolutely prohibiting the Tin other cities

bis trade. When, therefore, the worthy citi-
zen Of Vienna wishes to purchase paper be
is compelled to wend his way to a tobacco
shop.
The Viennese newspapers, with the excep-
ton OF The vaterland, the ergan OF the Cleri-
cal party, never indulge in heated discus
sions. Thoughtful articles, carefully studied
and generally moderate in tone, foreign in
telligence, local news, interviews, fe,illetons,
chroniques, very complete financial articles
and many dispatches, very long and going
largely into detail-such arc the usual con-
tents of Vienna journal As have said,
there are very few arguments between jour
mails, and none at all between journalists.
