a Formidable Party.


In the gathering at indianapolis Of more
than one thousand delegates, representing
every state in the union, to nominate candi-
dates for president and vice.presdent who by
no possible combination OF circumstances can
be elected, there is more 90 be seen than an
aimless and hopeless ambition. No man of
practical torn of mind expects that the policy
Of the government ever will be based on the
principles declared by the prohibitionists. IL
is doubtful whether members of that party who
give the subject reasonable thought themselves
have any such anticipation. But II the third
party cannot rule, IL Is fast approaching, even
IL Il had not already reached a position from
which IL can arbitrate and in n measur influ-

The Democracy aud the soldiers.
[Mnncie Democrat.l !


Scarcely n day passes but that our attention IN
called 10 cases where gallant soldiers who were
incapacitated from manual labor by reason OF
their service during the war have been trying
for years TO secure that which they were justly
entitled 10, but met with little or no success
until the democracy came into power. A case
in point is that of Mr.. Frank Mcclellan of
Hamilton township, who is unable to work,
and has been an almos: helpless invalid for
more than twenty years. For a period OF
eighteen years he was allowed the
pitiful sum of 81 per month, such being tha
rating given him by a republican pension
board. His rating was increased to S. per
month by board OF the same chareter, pOlltl-
cally, and he drew that amount for three years.
Under democratic board OF pension examin-
ers he was given q rating Of $50 per month,
the disability having been the same for the
entire period. 1t is gratifying to know that
poor Frank has been drawing $50 per month
for the past ten months. Had Grover Cleve-
land not been elected and the republican party
been continued in power, the probability is
that the poor invalid TO whom we refer, would
have died before he had been allowed that
which was Justly his due.

Where WIN the "soap" Come From
rohicago News. ]

The most interesting, rs it is the most deplor-
able question brought forward by the possible
candidacy Of Judge Gresham, is "where would
the money for the campaign come from" The
significance of this question is unmistakable. 1t
means that more than ever before republican
success is a matter of money-"soap," as IL was
called in the shameful campaign of 1850.
If Gresham is nominated, where is the fund
for the fight in New York and Indiana to
come from? Was there ever a higher tribute
to a possible candidate, a more humiliating
confession for party than is implied in such a
queryY
Among FIVE hundred odd political leaders at
Buffalo, there were perhaps, five for Gresham,
and their advocacy of the Western judge was
everywhere met with the inquiry: "Where
would the money come from with Gresham as
the candidate" Greshams friends had moth
ING more to say, while such patriots rs Tom
Platt, Jake Hess Johnny 0'Brien, and ex-col-
lector of the spoils, Judge w. III. Robertson,
smiled triumphantly.
Out here in the "woolly West" there is a
different view Of this matter. IL is considered
that if the republican party can only win by
the grace OF the money kings OF Wall-st, it de-
serves defeat.

What Protection Costs the Farmer.
[Chicago Iimes.l

lChicagO Times.
The tariff taxes for the current year, accord
ing to the latest official figures, will amount in
the aggregate to $221, 100000 The number Of
inhabitants of the country is about 10000, 900.
Therefore the tariff taxes for the year come to
about $3.50 for each man, woman and child in
the land; or, counting five in a family on an
average, TO about $3.50 to each family on the
average. The farmer can easily compare that
sum with the amount of bis state taxes.
But this is not all. There is reason 10 believe
that where the tariff taxes take $3.50 year
from the average farmer for the support OF the
national government they take from him at
least three times that amount in payment of
the artifcially increased prices of the articles
of home manufacture that he has TO buy for the
use OF himself and family, or for the purpose of
carrying on his farm. Now, if that is so, the
tariff costs him no less than $74 year, of
which only $3.50 goes 10 support the govern
ment, and even of that fractional part of the
whole the government does not need more than
one-half. The farmer may not be convinced
that this is so. But he cannot deny that if it is
so he is so personally, and very deeply, inter
ested in the question of tariff taxation. He
cannot deny that the question may be to him
one of success or failure in his business.

The Last Flicker.

The action of the G. A. r. official at Indian-
apolis, forbidding the blue and the gray to take
part in the Decoration day ceremonies at Ind
annapolis to-day. is the last flicker of the fame
OF war in time of peace. Indiana no longer
responds 10 the spirit Of hatred, nor does the
q. A. r. in this part of Indiana. But whether
the grand army does or does not approve,
the bloody shirt will be trampled in the dust in
this glorious year of jubilee. The demoniad
spirits in the organization will find themselves
powerless before the mighty sweep OF public
opinion, more potent than armies, or political
parties or congress, or legislatures, because Il

PRESS OPINIONS.

Chicago nter-Ocean: The platform tc
which the convention gave its unanimous
consent is one of the most complete cpl.
tones Of Republican doctrine ever sent
abroad by any convention, and the ticket
is one which should command the unhes-
itating support of every Republican.
Chicago Globe Dem. m.)-And so, after
all, the plutocracy have taken up the de-
scendent of his grandfather.
Chicago News Nnd. says: BY the NOM
ination Of Benjamin Harrison the ma
tional Republican party has happily
eliminated the personality of Mr.. James
G. Blaine from the coming campaign.
Upon this one result not only the party,
but Mr.. Blaine and the entire country, are
to be most heartily congratulated.
Chicago Herald The nominetion of
Ben Harrison on platform that was
made for Blaine, Or Elkins, or
Mckinley, give personal responsibility to
q ticket that is foredoomeu to defeat.
Mr.. Harrison cannot hope for election.
Milwaukee Sentinel (Rep.): The nom
ination is one which will secure harmony
and general satisfaction in the party.
While large numbers of Republicans had
other preferences, no one will deny that
General Harrison is a fit and worthy
candidate.
Der Herold German 1nd.) says: We
see no reason why Gen. Harrison should
not be elected. He certainly ought to
make our Western states solid again.
Harrison has good old stock in him. He
is so young that they cannot kill him of
rapidly, like his grandfather.
New York Times: The Republican
party deserves more credit than it will
get, we fear, for the nomination made by
its convention.
San Francisco Post (Rep.) says: Har-
risOn was not the first choice of the vot-
ers of California. Gresham or Alger rep
resent the attitude of the coast far more
closely than Harrison, especially on the
Chinese question, and California would
have been far better satisfied had either
of these men been chosen; but Harrison
comes from doubtful state, and that is
the highest importance that the party
should carry in November.
indianapolis Journal: The nomination
of Harrison and Morton is a complete
vindication of the wisdom and patriotism
Of the largest, most earnest and most en-
thusiastic convention ever held.
Indianapolis Times: Benjamin Har-
rison is commonplace man whom no
opportunity could further develop, whose
chief personal characteristic is borrowed
radiance, much dulled in its transmits
sion from the Virginia born precedent.

CITY OF MEXICO, June photographic
communication, which has been inter
rupted for several days by the floods, has
been restored, and the particulars of the
terrible disaster on the line of the Mexi-
can Central railway, particularly at Leon
and Silao, are obtained. During the last
ten days the table lands between here
and Zacatecas have been visited by I'M
precedented rains. Every mountain
rivulet along the Central railroad
for more than 200 miles has been
converted into destructive torrent. and
the valleys present the appearance OF
lakes. Many cities and towns have been
inundated, and Leon and Silao have
been partially destroyed. AS the rain
fell the river rose rapidly, the volume OF
water flowing into the towns gradually,
wearing away the foundation of build
ings, which began to fall as night came
on. Men, women and children fed to
the streets in their night clothes,
some to find shelter on higher
ground aud others to be swept
away by the flood. On Tuesday morning
rain was still falling, and there had been
no perceptible decrease in the stream of
water. The town had wrecked look.
Where the houses had stood the night
previous water was surgipg in its flight
to lower grounds. Wednesday evening
the water began to recede and its dlsas-
trous work became apparent.
= One hundred and eleven bodies have
been recovered, without moving any
ruins of houses, wherein are supposed to
be hundred of bodies buried. .
There are also bodies still
floating in the water. The de
stroycG houses are e.timated at 2, 900 and
the loss ut 50, O0O,OOO Many other towns
have been daddy damaged, but the loss
of life is only reported from Silao and
Leon. ......
The estimate of loss of life and prop
erty given are the smallest reported, and
are certainly within the bounds of truth.
The very last statement just received
places the number of houses destroyed in
Leon at 2, 2224, and the homeless families
at more than 900. More than $50 bod
les have been recovered from the ruins,
and there is 20 probability that the en-
tire 1umbcr will fall short Of 100.
