The refusal of ex-Gov. Porter to be a
candidate for the republican nomination
for governor of Indiana causes good deal
of uneasiness Among the republican mana
gers of that state. Although he announced
some time ago that he would not be a can
didate for the gubernatorial nomination,
they felt so certain that they could per-
suade him to accept it that they
made their plans with the understanding
that he would be the candidate of their
party for governor. Gen. Harrison and his
immediate advisers were extremely anxious
that he should lead the state ticket, because
he is strong whore Gen. Harrison is weak
and it was believed that he could carry the
greenback and labor vote for the national
ticket as well as for the state ticket.
He occupies a position in Indiana state
politics something like that occupied by Mr.
Blaine in national politics. He is perhaps
the strongest republican in the state, and he
is, therefore, just the man the republicans
want to help them carry Indiana for the
national republican ticket. He had said,
however, that he would not be candidate
for governor before Gen. Harrisons nomi-
nation for president. After Gen. Harrison S
nomination strong pressure was brought
to bear upon him to reconsider his decision,
and the public was given to understand that
he had done so, because it was announced,
without contradiction, that he would be
the republican nominee for governor. 1t
seems, however, that there are several other
candidates, and they at once charged ex-
Gov. Porter with acting in bad faith to-
ward them, because they would not have
announced themselves as candidates if he
had not stated that he would not accept the
nomination. These charges appear to have
caused ex-Gov. Porter to adhere to his first
determination, and to write a letter stating
that he could not accept the nomination.
1t remains to be seen whether or not an
| effort will be made to nominate him not
withstanding his letter announcing his posi-
tive withdrawal from the contest. Ii a
| unanimous nomination is rendered him,
perhaps he may be induced to accept it,
although in his letter he makes nc men ton
of a nomination of that kind.
Without ex-Gov. Porter to lead their
state campaign, the chances Of the Indiana
republicans for carrying their state will be
considerably diminished. Ex-Gov Porter
will take the stump for the republican
cause. but he cannot do much in that way
| to reconcile the labor and greenback ele-
ments to Harrison and Morton

The Man Was Blind.

The Topical Talker of the PittSburg Dispatch
says: A blind man got ON the train at Harris
burg and found a seat in the parlor car
know he was blind, because | saw the conductor
lead him to the chair and arrange his vaise,
etc, for him Otherwise don't think would
have known it, for his eyes were wide open, and
in every way seemingly perfect This is
not an iEfreqIient phenomenon among the blind
and 1t is singularly deceptive.
After the blind man had settled down q
woman, of uncertain age and very fashionable
appearance, entered the car and took a chair
four or five seats away from the blind man. who
faced toward her. 1t was my lot to be seated
just behind this woman, and | very soon OBJ
served that something was annoying her. She
fidgeted in her seat, looked out of the window,
then swerved around and glanced down the car,
and finally she pressed the electric bell to sum
mon the porter.
The porter came in, and the woman said to
him: Fetch the CONDUCTOR
The conductor came.
What is the matter, madam" said he
will you he kind enough to request that
gentleman, she said, indicating the blind man.
Ito stop staring at me? He's never taken his
eyes on me since | entered the car"
81 will tell him if you like, madam" replied
the conductor, "bnt he's as blind as bat and
you'll excuse me, ma'am, but | have the
tickets to take up"
The scenery seemed to interest the thin
skinned woman very much after this little en-
counter: at least she kept her eyes fixed ON the
landscape till Philadelphia absorbed her.

Politics and the Grand Army.


Commander int Chief Rea, Of the Grand
Army of the Republic, appears to have
better conception of the purposes OF the or
ganization of which he is the head and of
his duties to it than some of his prede-
cesSors had. For some years the Grand
Army has laid itself bare to the suspicion of
being a sort of adjunct of the republican
party, and that party has apparently acted
upon the idea that it had mortgage on
the veterans, though great many of them
are democrats.
Commander Rea has determined that the
organization must be separated from poll
tics, and his determination is greatly to be
commended. He has issued an order lately
that no comrade shall use his uniform,
badge or official position to influence politi-
cal opinion. 1t is not in contemplation to
attempt to deprive veterans of their
political preferences or rights, but when
they take any action of political nature
such as attending political meetings, join
ing professions or making political demon
strations of any kind, they must do so as
private citizens, first removing from their
persons any emblem that would indicate
their connection with the Grand Army.
Not less gratifying than Commander
Rea's action is the general disposition of
the different posts to obey the order. 1t is
also worthy of remark that they resent any
ton into the mire of politics. Lately a too
enterprising firm put upon the market an
exact counterpart of the Grand Army
badge, excepting that the picture of Gen.
Harrison was substituted for the embems
of the organization. The Grand Army
badge is patented, and is otherwise pr
tected by law, and the matter will be
brought before the council of administra-
ton, to see if the imitators cannot be pun
ished
When Commander 4ea was elected the
opinion was quite general that he was an
ultra republican. If it was expected, how
ever, that he would follow the example of
Cen Fairchild in seemingly directing the
affairs of the organization so as to subServe
the interests of the republican party, those
of the ultra wing who INDUCED such expect
alton have been keenly disappointed. From
the first Gen. Rea has evinced lofty sense
of his responsibilities. For some time he
has been on a visit east He spent quite
wilhelm Washington, and had several inter
views with Mr.. Cleveland, as the result of
which he declares publicly and privately
his belief that the President will do all in
his power for the veterans His intercourse
with the veterans of the eastern posts has
also tended to encourage him to pursue
conservative course, and to ignore the
cranks who have got an idea that the Grand
republican party. Commander Rea, thus
far, has shown himself to be a level-headed,
patriotic gentleman, and if he perseveres In
his course he will place the Grand Army in
the position which it should occupy.

The house committee on manufactures
has been inve tigating trusts, and on Mon
day submitted report in which it stated
that the task which it had undertaken was
a far grentor one than it had any idea it
would be when tile investigation was begun.
1t seems that the tendency now is to form
combinations in different lines of bust
ness for the purpose of preventing
competition and raising prices Every few
days now combination is formed, and
prices are raised. The public hears at once
of the most important of these trusts,
such as the Standard oil, linseed
oil, cotton seed oil, and sugar
trusts, but of the many smaller ones it
knows nothing, and, doubtless, wonders
why the prices of certain articles which are
in common use have suddenly advanced.
The house committee points out that
trusts, recognizing their illegal character,
have, in order to avoid all liability for vio-
lating the laws against conspiracies for rails
ing the price of any article, arranged their
combinations with the view of evading the
conspiracy laws which are in force in
some of the states. How far
they have succeeded in guarding them
selves against the consequences Of their
acts remains to be seen. Proceedings have
been begun in New York to break up the
sugar trust, but they do not seem to be
pressed very vigorously. Ii is doubtless the
purpose Of congress TO enact law to pro-
tect the public against the exactions of
trusts, but no legislation i'll that direction
may be expected before next winter.
The leading men in about all the trusts
are protectionists, and nearly all the trusts
are made possible by the high protective
tariff For instance, if it were not for the
duty of 4 cents yard on bagging, the bag
ging trust, which promises to rob the plant
ers of several millions of dollars within the
next twelve months, could not have been
formed.
These trusts are of no benefit to laboring
men. Indeed, they are an injury to them.
Since the sugar trust has been formed, the
price of sugar has been raised sufficiently to
put into the pockets of the benefciaries of
the trust between 100000 600 and S30000,
900 annually, but the wages of those who
work in the sugar refineries has not been
raised The managers of the trust go into
the open market and get labor as cheaply as
they can. They have closed several of the
refineries in order to lessen production, and
have, therefore, deprived a good many
laborers of employment. A trust benefits
only those who have share in its profits.
1t Injuries labor and robs the public. Is it
not about time to make war on trusts? In
what way can they be attacked 80 success

WANTED TO GET OUT.
A Voice that Startled an Express Mes
senRer Who Was Resting on a Coffin.

senger Who Was Resting on Cof1n.
From, the Kansas city Journal.
He was an express messenger on the Santa
Fe few days ago. 1t was a night run, and
there were two messengers in che car. Just as
it began to grow dusk tne train stopped at a
small station and a dead body was taken
aboard. Nothing in particular was thought of
this, however, and as there was nothing to do,
and the train would not stop again for long
distance, both messengers prepared to go to
sleep. One of them decided that the box con-
tanning the body would be good place to rest
on, and so he arranged himself comfortably
thereon and went to sleep.
How long he slept he has no idea, but suddenly,
as if in dreap, he heard voice say:
Let me out!'
The messenger, startled, lay half awake for a
moment, when in no uncertain tone came the
words, apparently from within the head of the
box on which he slept.
"D-n you let me out"
1t is quite distance from where the box lay
to the other end of the car, but the messenger
is positive he cleared it in two jumps. Trem-
bling with fear, he shouted to his comuanions
but before he had chance to tell his story that
self-same voice exclaimed:
II want to get out of here"
Neither of the men spoke for a moment, and
then the one who had first heard the voice said
Jim, that corpse wants TO get out"
JIM thought for a moment, and then said:
We'll, reckon it wouldn't be right to keep
him in there If he wants TO get out
SO the two cautiously made their way to the
head Of the box and debated what to do, when
the same mufed voice was heard to remark:
Polly wants a cracker!N
Then the mystery was explained. Some one
at Denver had expressed a parrot to q friend
in kansas City. Its cage had been slowed away
and forgotten, and the bird had naturally be-
come hungry and thirsty. SO it waited as long
as 1t could, and then made itself heard IN tue
manner that so Mortified the express messen-
