The New York Sun has been trying to
figure out probable Democratic victory in
Indiana, but is obliged to confess that the
way the figures act is not wholly satisfactory.
1t finds that, in 1876, when Harrison run for
Governor. he was from three to four thous-
and votes stronger than his party, though he
was not elected. But he was beaten by a
plurality OF only 5,OS4 votes in a total vote of
434, 457 of which $4,000 were Greenback votes
drawn from the Republican ranks. But
since 1876 1t is admitted that General Harri-
son has become much better known in
Indiana; and with him to be better known is
always to be stronger among the people.
Since that time too, the Republican party
has grown in strength, and The last State
election was carried by it by majority of
1924. With General Harrison at the head
of the ticket Indiana is practically sure for
the Republicans. if they do the hard work
that they undoubtedly will.

There are certain Cinnamon in Washing
ton Territory just now whose remarkable
dilemma might furnish plot for either a
tragedy or comic opera. A number of
Cinnamon journeying southwark from Brit
ish Columbia were not long ago arrested in
Washington Territory for being illegally
within the United States, and sent after
trial to the penitentiary. At the expiration
of their term of sentence a United States
marshal took the rejoicing Celestias to Brit
ish Columbia that they might cease to be
within the United States illegally But the
British authorities refused to receive the
Cinnamon without the fifty dollar, per capita
tax, imposed by British laws on incoming
heather from China. The marshal had no
authority to pay the tax and the bewildered
and impoverished Cinnamon couldn't. So

The apparently righteous indignation dis
played by the Democrats at the least sugges-
ton that the abolition of the whiskey
tax would take off a good part of the object
ionable surplus and their astounding pro-
fessions OF fear lest whiskey may therefore
multiply in the land, are phenomena I'M
usual and unexpected enough to fairly call
for explanation. The Washington cores
pendent Of the Boston Journal affords such
an explanation, which lets food of light
upon the situation. The Democrats are con-
trolled by the fear that the immensely pro-
ftable monopoly of the whiskey ring, which
is enabled to prevent all competition by us
ing the ninety cents gallon tax on spirits
as a means of closing the door to all who
would enter on the business of distilling
whiskey, would be broken up by the repeal
Of the tax. In return for the protection that
the Democratic party propose to give to the
whiskey ring, the latter will contribute a
large sum of money to pay the expenses Of
the Democratic campaign. 1t is the fear
that the campaign fund may be put in jeop-
ardy, and not that drunkenness may in
crease in the land, that makes the Demo-
Gratis In Congress and out of Congress so sem
sitiye whenever 1t is proposed to repeal or
even to amend the whiskey tax.

SPEAKING OF the comments on the pres
ident's message by both Blaine and Sher-
man and the reply to the latter by Senator
Voorhees,, the st. Paul Globe remarks
Because Mr.. Blaine had the ready wit to
fire off response to the presidents mess
sage on the spur Of the moment Mr., Sher-
man became imbued with the idea that 1t
was his duty as presidential candidate
to assault the message also. Lacking in
those ready qualities which distinguish
!, the man from Maine, Mr.. Sherman went
rat it In his own Enthusiastically cold
ID Npoded way He sat down in the priv
.cy of his closet and devoted days and
weeks to the preparation of speech
which he imagined would startlo the ma
ton by the cogency of its reasoning and
the brilliancy of its style. What must
have been his surprise and modification
then when scarcely had the speech been
finished .,snd the echo Of his own voice
had not yet died away in the senate cor
ridf0rs the stalwart orator of the w abash
fknocked the underpinnng from under
him with such sudden effect that Mr..
Sherman scarcely knew whether he was
going up or coming down. 1t was a
stunning blow that Mr.. VOORHEES, dealt
him, and before Mr. Sherman will have
entirely recovered from it Mr. Blaine will,
have been nominated and defeated, and
Mr.. Cleveland will be sending in to CON
gress the first message of his second term
congratulating the nation upon the over
throw of the protected monopolies.

DETROIT, Mich., Jan IS When Charles
L. Young, the confidential bookkeeper of the
Michigan Carbon works, began going TO and
from his office some months ago with
q colored coachman, a nobby turnout and 9
blooded horse, President Jarves, of the COM
pany, vas somewhat surprised. He thought
1t hardly the correct thing for man OF so
moderate salary, and so expressed himself
several times to his brother directors. Never
theless, when J. B, Moore resigned the sec
rotary and treasuryship Of the company, Mr.,
Young was elected his successor, Later a
decrease in the dividends to the stockholders
caused complaints, The dissatisfaction led
to investigation. 1t was ascertained then that
somebody in the office had been steadily
pooketing money belonging to the company,
and Tuesday MIR. Young was arrested. IL Is
alleged that his stealing has covered several
years, and that he has embezzled S75, 600
Some OF those best acquainted with Mr.
Young take the position that either the COM
pany has not been the loser to the extent re-
ported, or that Young Is the scapegoat for
sohe person UT persons noIe uHectiJ hnP"-
Gated Their opinion is based on the esteem
in which they have held Young, but there
remains the fact that the other responsible
members Of the company are equally above
suspicion. Mr.. Young lives at 23l Cam pau
avenue and it Is a coincidence that the house
he occupies was purchased by him from
Frank Bradley, formerly manager of the
Pullman Car works and now doing 1velyears
at Joliet for having helped himself from the
Golfers of that corporation. Mr.. Young is
man whose outward life tends to create con-
fidsnce in his probity and integrity. He has
| a some what stolid cast of features. but there
is nothing in them suggestive of cunning or
criminal instincts. He is lover of good
horses, but does not gamble, and was not, so
far as known addicted TO any vice.

tie school house of Myra Valley district with
thirteen pupils, ranging in age from @ to Is

with such force as to tour the door from its
hinges. Another terrific gust struck the build
ing, and in the twinkling of an eye carried
away the roof, leaving the frightened little
ones exposed to the elements The time for
prompt action had arrived, but the plucky
teacher was equal to the emergency. She
gathered her pupils together, aud, securing a
coil of strong heavy Irvine, began with the
largest one and tied them all together by the
arms three abreast Taking the youngest
in her arms she tied the end of the Irvine
around her own body and, with all the
words of encouragement she could muster,
started out III the furious storm. Selecting
her way carefully the brave girl led her little
charges through snowdrifts and the blizzard,
and after wearisome journey of three
quarters of mile tho little band reached
