not dismissed or abandoned, has been de-
nounced as a D ersecution. There has been a
persiste Mt attempt to make it appear that the
defendants were being prosecuted for political
purposes. The body of the crime and the
violated law have been kept in the back
ground, and the personal merits and political
services of the defendants have been
made conspicuous. Every person directly or
remotely connected with the investigation
has been subjected to the vilest abuse.
Prominent citizens, Democrats as we'll as
Republicans have been singled out by name
and shamefully abused because they favored
the punishment of election frauds. And
now that two of the defendants are found
guilty by an honest and intelligent jury, what
are these fool '1eaders" doing? If they had
any sense they would recognize the folly Of
fighting against the law and public opinion,
and would throw up the sponge. They would
see that no party can AFT I'D to defend crime
or espouse the cause of convicts, and they
would say to the defendants, 1--WE have stood
by you as long as can, and too long for our
own reputation or the good of the party. We
can do so no longer. You have made your
bed and must lie in it." That is about the
position they would take if they had any
sense. But instead of that they all unite in
singing Rally round the fraud, boys, rally
once again." They seem to think the saliva
ton of the Democratic party depends on
saving the taly-sheet forgers, and we have
the beautiful spectacle of the big leaders in
Washington and the little ones in this
city rushing to and fro and filling the air with
suggestions as to what must be done to save
violators of the law from punishment IF
these men were innocent nobody would want
them to be punished. If they were innocent
they would never have been found guilty.
But having been found so by an honest jury,
why should any honest man desire to screen
them from punishment And why should
any Democratic partisan with three grains of
sense desire to place himself or his party in
the position of championing their cause? AS
we have said before, the Journal has not tried
to make party capital out of the case, but if
the fool leaders of the Democratic party insist
on making it political issue, we shall not
hesitate to meet them on that line.

THE POSTAL DISGRACE.

Nothing more disgraceful has been known
necessity imposed upon publishers in this
city of employing men to distribute their
mail at the postofice in order that it may
reach subscribers and patrons within reas-
enable time. AS has been published hereto
fore, the Indiana Farmer is already assisting
in the work of the government at its own
expense, and complaints of delays in receiving
their papers which pour in from subscribers
to the Weekly Journal render it probable that
this paper will be compelled to follow the
same course. The daily edition of the Jour-
nal is, fortunately, conveyed to out of town
subscribers by carrier much more reliable
than the postal department.. The spectacle of
a great government, with a surplus in its
Treasury which it does not know how to
dispose of, squeezing" the mail service
until it has to be saved from abso-
lutte inefficiency and failure by private
enterprise is one that can only cause shame
and disgust in the mind Of every public
spirited citizen. Such condition of affairs
is its own commentary upon the incapacity of
the Democratic administration to manage the
business of the government-even that por-
ton of it which was in the most perfect
working order-in accordance with the best
interests of the country.
The excuse is made that the business of the
department has grown, and that the appropri-
ation for CLARK hire is deficient. hut tbis ay-
cuse, while it relieves the postmaster of
blame, lays the responsibility where it belongs
upon the Democratic 'Postmaster-gener
who made the estimates and the Democratic
House which approved them. 1t was the
duty of Mr.. Villas to make proper allowances
for natural increase of business, but, in
stead, all his energies have been directed to-
ward reduction of expenses and cheesepar-
ing economy where economy had already been
brought to the extreme limit As result of
this and of his political prostitution of the
vice. it has been demoralized and crippled to
degree which scarcely seemed possible four
years ago, and which is positive of
damage to the business interests of the coun
try. Inc Indianapolis once is Tar from oelng
the only one with an insufficient force of en-
ployes. Complaints general, the Boston
Office, alone, for instance, wanting twenty
more clerks, and being unable to get them.
If Mr.. Dickinson, the new Postmaster-gen-
eral, wants to help himself and his party, he
will Immediately proceed to correct Mr..
Vilass mistakes so far as possible. If he is
afraid to assume the responsibility of pledg-
ing the government in advance to pay the ex-
penses of enough additional clerks to handle
the mails, he should go before Congress with
out delay and ask for special appropriation
on the ground that an emergency exists.

IT 10 perfectly proper for the Sentinel to
assail with filthy epithot and denunciation
such men as Alexander B. Conduit, William
Henderson. Captain Ritter, D. w. Coffin,
Solomon Claypool and others of equal grade.
and it is professional for the light weights
who practice politics instead of law to do like
wise; but when Mr.. Claypool refers by mild
term to an individual like John E. Sui
Ivan, then it is necessary for his vindi-
cation y that he should spit in Mr.. Claypool's
face and strike him. The Sentinel has
peculiar ideas about some things.

HUGH M. BROOKS alias Maxwell, the st.
Louis trunk murderer, publishes review of
his trial, which, he thinks, was characterized
by "unfair methods" He concludes by say
ing: II am satisfied that the well-known
American love Of justice and fair-play will
not only say they are unjust and unfair, but
will set its disapproval upon them in such a
manner that such methods will never be again
attempted" Perhaps We ought to thank Mr..
Brooks for his efforts to reform our legal
methods; but American love of justice and
dered. If his crime had been committed in
England he would have been hanged long ago.

Now, it seems to the Journal, the case of
General Canadian should be taken up and
settled. The fact that General Carnahan was
indicted, and his trial has not yet been had,
has been taken advantage of by the defenders
and apologists for the Coy gang to assert that
their prosecution has been partisan and perse-
cutting. OF course, nobody with ordinary
sense and common fairness believes that Gen.
Canadian feloniously violated the law, or had
the slightest intention of doing Had he
been possessed of such a purpose it is not

JUROR JACOB GARDENER, of Marshall
county, is reported in the Sentinel to say that
the verdict returned in the conspiracy case
was mot his verdict then and is not now"
and also that 'when questioned about the
matter he said he was sorry he had signed the
verdict two minutes after he had done So"
The verdict was reached before 6 o'clock on
Saturday night, and at nearly o'clock. three
hours after the agreement, Jacob Gardener
stood up, and on his oath answered the clerk
Of the United States Court that the verdict
was his verdict. and that he still abided by

State by Republican victory next November.

in this State toward this case is another proof
of the fact that the Democratic party does not
hesitate to resort to any kind of crime to per-
petuate itself in power. The extracts we
give and the conduct of the men who assume
to lead the Democratic party in the State
make an object lesson for the careful study
of every honest citizen of Indiana.

YESTERDAY wasn't exactly an ideal day,
but, for all that, it is not out of place to

showed up, but in this weather-belt have been

JUROR MEssICK, Democrat says in his
interview in the Sentinel that upon the first
ballot he voted for acquittal because he did
not want to ballot at that time at all. He

forced me to ballot I would not vote my
sentiments. Every ballot after that 1 voted

Nlch,Ir Cooling OF the rnnh.

During the day, when tho sun is shin
ing, it communicates its heat 10 the
earth and the latter becomes warm.
When night comes however, the earth
gives off the heat which it has stored up
during the day, and consequently be-
comes colder. This cooling commences
at sundown, and increases every minute
until the sun rises again, when the low
est degree Of cold is reached. That is
the time when most of US feel, even in
bed, after the hottest night, a chilliness
which causes us TO cover ourselves more
closely with the blankets. which were
rejected at the beginning Of the night.
This fact will also explain the cause Of
"taking cold' in midsummer, which
has seemed such a mystery to many.
Going TO bed ON hot evening, the win
dows are left open and all covering is
thrown off. Now, when from neglect,
Or through failure to waken, the body is
not covered as morning approaches, it is
exposed TO the same conditions as in the
depth Of winter-a sudden lowering of
temperlture-and ''cold" is the nat
ural result This nightly cooling of the
earth is not SO much noticed In cities as
it is in the country. In the former the
many large buildings Of brick. stone and
iron have become reservoirs Of heat during
the day, and at night they add so much
more of the amount of heat TO be given off.
As consequence, the air is not cooled
to such degree as it is in the country,
and very frequently in the hottest
weather the whole night is intensely op,
pressive. Boston Herald.

To SUE AN Ex-KING-Dr. Dennis Dow
ling Mulcahy, of Newark, sailed in the City
of Berlin from New York, on Saturday, for
Paris. There he will commence legal pro-
csedings against the Duke d'Aosta for the
recovery Of a Spanish estate, valued al
5000 OOc. to which be laid claim some time
ago. One of the Doctors cousins married
an old Spanard who owned vast estates In
Seville The Spanlard bequeathed his prop
erty to his wife and after his death she and
her son remained in possession. Her own
death was followed By that Of her son five
wears ago. The Duke d'Aosia, as the sons
trustee, took possession of tbe estate, as
there was no will. DR.. Mulcahy wrote to
the Duke, but received no reply, aud alter
overcoming various obstacles found that ne
was the heir. The officia! records at Re.
vile also show bis relationship TO the SOD OF
the Spsniard who left the estate Or. Mui-
oahy will meet Frederick r Coude!s' the
New York lawyer, in Paris, bF whom the
suit will be conducted The Dake d'Aos'a
is the brother of King Humber! of Italy. and
was crowned King of Spain in January,

He reigned only two yeara and then re-
signed
