ID. +. Skinner of Valparaiso, Ind, in at.
tendance at the meeting of the democratic
association of the nor Invest at the Palmer,
spoke very enthusiastically OF Governor
Gray's chances for the vice-presidency. He
declared that the Indiana delegation would
go to st. Louis and vote for him to a man.
His careful and business-like administra-
ton had made the people of the Hoosier
state confident that he would be selected
for the second place on the ticket. The
state is now being thoroughly canvassed,
and the result Of the polling thus far in
dictates that the democratic majority will
be the largest given In years should the
governor be nominated. He is regarded by
many sstute Indiana politicians as being
more popular than was the late and
lamented Thomas A. Hendricks, which is
saying great deal.
Mr.. Skinner said further that the de-
mocracy of Indiana was never in better
fighting shape than it is at present. The
work of organization has been going on
rapidly since the meeting OF the state COM
mittee at Indianapolis, and will soon be
perfected. The farmers are eagerly devour'
ing every bit of information they can lay
their hands on concerning the matter OF
tariff reform.

1t is instructive to note the workings of
protective principles at all times. The
following shows how protection helped
Indiana and the other central states,
then known as part OF Louisiana, in the
eighteenth century:
From 1720 to 1871 the trade and COM
msrcs of the Mississippi valley were mo-
n9polized by the Company of the Indies.
Toe laws by which the colonists were
governed during this period, were in some
degree arbitrary, and fatally adverse to
the growth and prosperity OF the settlers
in the various districts Of Louisiana
The cultivators OF the soil were
held inI q sort of vassalage ..
The company could, at any time, fix the
prices ct which the colonists should buy
imported goods and wares, and it could
establish the prices Of the products raised
or manufactured by the inhabitants OF the
colony. The Lqtter tcere compelled 10 b,ty, 0t
high price, the merchandise Of the company,
and 70 sell, at lOiV price, The production Of
their olCa skill and industry. 1t would be
difficult to devise q system more efectual
than this one for the purpose Of checking
and impeding the progress OF industry and
population in q new country.-DilIOR'

Protection meant the same then as II
does now. The sgriculturslists still sell in

ty, of the Pinkerton agency, attri-
butes the detection and capture of Elk
press Agent Huber, of Sunbury, Pa,
for the theft of the $4,000 package
belonging to the Adams Express Co.
on August 20, 1886 to two things
camphor and woman's indiscretion.
He said that Mrs. Huber had been
boasting among her friends of what
she would be able to wear some day,
and threw out hints of a big legacy.
Afterward she gave finer parties,
dinner parties and other entertain
ments to her friends, and had had
her house furnished and carpeted,
and new heating apparatus put in.
1t was known that her relatives were
not wealthy. Huber also began
wearing better apparel.
Capt Dougherty said that after
suspicion had been directed toward
Huber, a Pinkerton agent, who got
his confidence, borrowed 81, 900 from
him. Capt. Linden and Dougherty
discovered astrong odOr Of camphor
on the money. They argued that
1T had not come from a bank but had
beensecretedin a house. 1t wasfOund
that Huber had had a handsome
mahogany box made with secret COM
partments- After a while the detect
i've got Huber interested in mining
schemes and obtained another 1000
loan This time Huber was followed
to his home where he got the money.
The conclusion was irresistible that
the stolen funds were secreted there.
Huber was decoyed to Philadelphia
under the pretence that he was to be
a witness in the case ofRathmal Pratt,
a clerk in the office here, who was
arrested two years ago on suspicion
OF stealing the money. Captain
Linden started for Sunbury on
the very hour when Huber took
the train for Philadelphia. Cap
tain Linden went straight for the
mahogany boxin Huber's house, and
in that receptacle found the camphor
and q good part of the money, and
behind a mantel was more of it. The
Adams Express envelopes, which had
contained the cash, still held most of
it, so it is alleged.

The jewel robbery at Munich was the

ing his nose. They were arrested,
but each declined to make a charge
against the other. Subsequently the
three men had another carouse, when
all were arrested and inedin the Bow
Street Police Court for drunkenness.
On that occasion Johnson gave an
assumed name. Porter was present
at the fight between Mitchell and
Sullivan, and was the man at whom
the gendarmes fired when the specta-
tors were trying to escape after the
fight. Buck recently married a res

The Flight of a Cannon Ball.

To untutored hearers a formula set
down in algebra would convey less
idea of a hindered though not van
pushed cannon ball than would the
simple speech of q savage who, after
tracing its course (as only savages
cam, has calledit "a demonletloose."
For notonly doesit seem to be aimed
with a mighty will, but somehow to
govern its action with ever-ready in
telligence, andeventoh avea"policy."
The demon is cruel and firm; not
stupidity, obstinate. Against things
that are hard and directly confront
ing him he indeed frankly tries his
strength, and does his utmost to
shatter them and send them in splint-
ers and fragmentsto widen thehavoc
he brings: but with objects that are
smooth and face him obliquely he al
ways compounds, being ready on
evena slight challengeto come, as men
say, to fair terms by varying his
line of advance, and even, if need be,
r~esorting to crooked, to sinuous,
paths. BY dint of simple friction
with metal, with earth, with ven the
soft, yieldingair he adds varied rota-
tory movements to those first e%njoin-
ed by his mission; he improves his fell
skill as he goes; he acquires a strange
nimbleness; can do more than simply
strike-can wrench, canlift, can toss,
can almost grasp; can gather from
each conquered hindrance a new and
baneful power; can be rushing, for in
stance, straight on in a horizontal
direction, and then, because ofsome
contact, spring up all at once like a
tiger intent on the throat of a camel.

Not 4 Mortal Stirred!

Those who think to gain their de-
sires by command or force seldom
meet with sue. success as others who
use tact and skilful strategy. The
Detroit Free Press tells a story of a
good minister who used the latter
weapon to some purpose:
Some years ago the pastor of a
church in a rural district of Missouri
shepherded a flock, some members of
which were in the habit of leaving
the house while he was yet in the
middle of discourse. This was an
eyesore to the visiting incumbent,
and when Oneday a reverend brother
volunteered to reach for him, he felt
called upon to speak of the annoy
C
"Oh, I'll stop that" was the reply.
"IH warrant you that no one leaves
until I'm DONE" Accordingly, when
he arose to speak, he introduced his
sermon with the following,
"My friends, before | begin my SER
man, wish to make a few not ir-
relevant remarks. You all know
thata vessel when full is full, and
thas to continue to pour into it is
folly. Some vessels are capable of
holding a great deal, while Others,
again, are easily filed. So it is with
mems heads, and it is possible some
of yours may become full before I'm
through. ESQ, | want you to feel at
perfect liberty to leave"
The sermon lasted an hour and a
quarter, but not a mortal stirred.
"Do you know" said a young man
afterwards, Il had Il team of restless
young horses outside, but | wouldn't
have gone out to look after them for
500.

AHr1.sA1ooN REPUBLICANS.

The Troy Chief, with its predisposi-
tons all opposed to prohibition, yet
sees that the republican party has
everything to gain and nothing to lose
by fighting whisky. 1t says:
By this time, the great question is
settled whether or not Albert Griffin
will go as q delegate to Chicago. Some

ly enamored Of prohibition, as ingalls,
said of Hayes, neither have we been
enamored of the saloon, and do not an
ticipste the dire consequences to the
republican party from speaking out
against the saloon In politics or for do
nestle uses that some other republic.
cans do. The party has never benefit
ted by them, and we cannot lose any
thing by taking stand against them.
In the rural districts, seven out of
ever ten of the saloon keepers have al
ways been democrats, and in the large
cities, nine out of every ten are. In
such cities as New York and Chicago.
in time not long past, the polls at cleo.
tions were opened in saloons, and they
still are to q certain extent, 1t was at
these polls that the ballot-box stVfiing
the fraudulent voting, and the bull
doing were usually concocted and car
ried out. When men have been con-
victed in the cities of frauds upon the
ballot-box, they have generally been
saloon keepers. There has not for
years been q fair election In New York
City, and until the ballot-box suffers
were brought to grief in Cincinnati and
Chicago, there had not been fair
election in those two cities for years
The saloons were the headquarters of
the rascality. Why should republic
cans be so tender of the feelings of the
keepers of these dens?
