The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1888-11-20

To pick up a paper and read of the ''condi-
ton of the African slave trade is to suggest
that the sheet was a stray one printed before
the war. The American who is too busy to
keep posted upon foreign affairs cherishes a
rather well-defned impression that trade in
African slaves practically ceased when the
traffic in this country was done away with.
They are wrong. however, as they are apt to be
about a good many matters not Immediately
concerning their own interests. Africa is still
the prey of other nations, some seeking pos
session OF the territory and others of the peo-
pie. The natives who are carried off by the
Arabs have not the advantage the old South
ern slave-dealers claimed for their negroes
of being associated with Christians, but are
sold to people hardly more civilized than
themselves. The world moves slowly, and an
appallingly large part of it is yet in the
depths Of barbarism.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1888-11-20

IT is settled now that had the members
elect of the Legislature from Marion county,
with the FLOATS" been Republicans. the Gen
eral Assembly would have been Republican
in both branches. and we should have beneyo-
lent institution reform, election law reform
and q better law for the regulation of the
traffic in intoxicating liquors. 1t is almost
safe to assume that, with q Democratic ma
iority in both houses, there will be none of
these things. The Journal believes in politi-
cal independence. Nothing can be much
worse than blind partisan slavery, but an
"independence" that has not intelligence
enough behind it TO Distinguish
between q reform to which a party is
pledged and a mere personal grievance against
q candidate, is a great deal worse than the
blindes. partisan s%ervility. The Republican
candidates for the Legislature In Marion coun-
ty were none of them 'bad," In any sense.
They were infinitely better personally than
the Democratic candidates, and were, besides,
pledged to vote for the reforms to which every
intelligent, honorable and fair-minded man
should be devoted. Yet, because Of a
mere personal grievance, something not at
taching in the slightest degree to their fitness
as members Of the Legislature, an unreason-
ing attack was made, which had much to do
With weakening the whole Republican ticket

CALIFoRYIANs have been taking advantage
of the yellow-fever scare in Florida to "boom'
their own State extravagantly, and to con-
trsst it with the marshy and malaria stricken
gulf region. but along comes an earthquake
and shakes even the forty-niners almost out of
their boots. The Wabash shakes" are pref.

many people who have wandered East and
wandered West" have reached the conclusion
that Indiana, in spite of its old-time reputa.

THE impression that, because of their own
certain and immense majority, Pennsylvania
Republicans do not grow excited over party
successes, is dispelled by the tremendous rati-
fcation meetings still being held and by such
congratulatory messages as the following, now
being received bv Indianapolis citizens:
"Truly there is a God in Israel. am de-
lighted. happy and satisfied beyond measure
over the complete and glorious victory over
our enemies. Old Pennsylvania rolled up
so, 900 majority, with strong Republican dis
tricts to be heard from. We're all right. !

Hoosier Republicans feel a special and Pc
culiar JOY over the result, but freely admit
that Pennsylvanians-they're all right. too.

However much they may differ upon the
question OF the historic episcopate, the mode of

ion concerning the result or the election OF Nov.

others" Those Of them that allowed their

hortation, as the case may be,

The Austrian diplomatist, Baron Hubner, has
been raised to the rank Of count. Among the
various posts which he filed was that Of embas-

remained till the outbreak Of the war in 1859.
On New Years day of 1859 the diplomatic corps
at Paris waited on Napoleon LII. and the EN-

THE headline Disappearance of a Demo
cratic Chairman" which appears in ali the
newspapers, is misleading. The mind of the
reader turns instinctively to Brice, because
Brice has certainly disappeared from public
view. There is no reason to suppose, how
ever. that he took any Doodle with him. 1t
is another fellow who did that. The Ohioan
has doubtless merely withdrawn from the
madding Republican crowd for a time, to
figure out how it was that Illinois, Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan got away.
