AURORA. ILL.,, March 3o.-Another case Of
incendiarism is charged by the Burlington
officials at Downer's Grove. A passenger
coach, which was standing on side track
with several other passenger cars, was set on
fire about o'clock this morning and the fire
gained great headway before 1t was discoy-
cred. The other cars were then detached and
pulled out Of danger and effort made to ex-
tinguish the fire in the burning coach. The
flames were finally subdued, but not in time
to save the car, which was destroyed.

news for his readers. During the recent
campaign we have been bored with vari-

which no other editor (save the latent

might use in our paper without fear of
detection, as the slips would not be sent
to any other paper in our immediate vi
cinity. We got enough of this stuff
every week to fill four pages Of our paper

advertisements, and much of 1t was Of
such a nature as to do positive harm in
stead of good. With oil due Difference to

people Of the United States. 1t is re-
proof of the Democratic party for its

Mr.. Cleveland, who began to think he
was bigger man than his party, has
brought it to serious defeat. If he had
gone to the people for re election, APP
pealipg to his four years record, he
might have been elected, but he chose
to become tie tool of The Southern wing
OF his party, and adopted their tariff

blunder is before the people, and now

bloviating stump speaker inthe country,
WIS indiscreet enough to wake up Sena,
tor Ingalls, by making some reckless us,
sertions about the friendship Of the
Democratic party and himself in partic.
ular for tho Union soldier. 1t is no
wonder that the Kansas Senator was
stirred up to n point Of indignation by
such false pose as the Indiana Senator
attempted. The speech Voorhees, made
in Sullivan county, Indiana, in which
he said that every Union soldier should
wear collar labeled "My Dog-Abra.
ham Lincoln" is VIGOROUSLY true, how.
ever much the turn of events may have
moved him to regret his words. He has
denied making use Of the language every
time he has been SO charged, but the
truth of the charge has been substanti,
ated Just as often as it has been denied
Some years ago Voorhees, made q
speech in Bellairc, and the day before
the ISTELLlGENcER charged him with
making this very remark. The atten'
ton OF Voorhees, being called to it he,
as usual; denied it. The INrELLIGENcEH
to prove its assertion was the true one
sent to Sullivan county, Indiana, and got
the afiidavits of a number of reputable
citizens whowere present at the meeting
Voorhees, addressed and heard him use
the language ascribed to him. 1t is no
use for Voorhees, toapply the termliar to
every one who accuses him OF having
made the remark. The proofs are too
strong. His uncomfortable anger is an
other evidence that the knife has enter
ed an old wound. Why he persists in
his mendacity is not exactly clear.
