THE KANkAKEE MARSH.
An Earnest Protest Against the Proposed
Appropriation.


To THE EDIoR-Sir: A bill will soon be pre-
sented in the legislature calling for large apprOp-
alton TO take out ledge of rock in the bed of the
Kankakee river, Momence in the state of Illi-
nois. There good and sufficient reasons for be-
leving that this would not benefit any of said land
more than eight ten miles above the state line.
For more than thirty years private parties have
quarried this stone and sold it for building pur-
poses at the rate OF s. per wagOn-load sl2 per
cord 1t is admitted here by all who know any
thing about the matter, that the stone will sell Tor
more than enough to pay the expense OF taking out
and eording on the bank Of the river.
Yet it is proposed that the value OF this stone shall
not be considered, and the state pay the full of
taking il out!
The promoters of this scheme are nearly all large
owners OF this marsh land and bought it purely for
speculation.
They have lately organized and will no doubt
make desperate effort to induce legislature to
tax all the people of the state for their sole benefit
/ need not say that this attempt at jobbery is OF
republican origin the ear-marks prove It, IT is sim
ply another device to Tax the many for the benefit
OF the few"
Paid agents, who believe in Dudleysm and all the
methods that the name implies, have been selected
70 90 10 indianapolis TO lobby this through
the legislature Their influence with the republican
members will, of course, be natural and easy, but
democrats will-muSt-keep the faith, and never
surrender principle OF such vital importance.

TWO IMPORTANT MATTERS.
The Disposal of Fines and Forfeitures and

Election of County superintendent.
To THE EDrToR-Sir: am subscriber TO THE
SENTINEL and, as Fountain county has no repre-
sentative only Clint Hessler 1--WE are democrats in
this locality, will ask your powerful assistance
in two measures that we wish brought before the
present legislature.
/. Take all fines and forfeituTes for the next four
years and put them the public highways The
school fund is large enough it does not need them.
1t would be thankfully received BY our farmers Of
all political parties 1t will strengthen the demo-
pass such an act.
2 The legislature TO pass bill providing for the
election of the county superintendent by the people.
The Office is in which the people specially in
terested. The present mode of eecting the superin
tendent is not only unfair, but the voters have
choice or voice in it, the election depends entirely
upon favoritsm, and the best man very seldom gets
the place. at least find il so in Fountain county.
Now, Mr.. Editor, come forth and help us. / write
this by request OF many democratic farmers. Please
start the ball rolling soon possible. We will
watch THE SENTINEL closely 20 see what il will do
for US: Democrats say this is our legislature We
want help.
Both measures would greatly please our democratic
friends. We bitterly opposed to building up
huge monOpolies. The school fund is large; the in
good roads to get to the schools. Please call in few
OF your leading members of democratic legisla-
ture and beat il into their heads TO pass these two
important measures. We sure it will not iniure
our party down in these parts. Hoping that you
will bring out favorable notice OF these measures
will wish THE SENTINEL great success and close.
Economically, your friend. J. NJ. LIVINGSTON.

A REMARKABLE CASE.
The Moore DefaIcation and the Course of
the Connecticut Mutual.
lWaehinyfo Post


1t is a very remarkable case--that of Joseph
A. Moore, the defaulting agent of the Con-
necticut mutual at indianapolis. Not only
was Moore permitted to run the business Of
the company without investigation long after
limitations had been forwarded TO Hartford
that there was something crooked in his man
agement but when the disclosures finally
came showing him to be one of the most colos-
sal embezZlers on record, no steps seem to
have been taken to bring him to justice or to
prevent his escape from IL.
On the contrary he went about town as usual,
settled with his washwOman, paid his store
bills and leisurely packed his trunk for Canada
leaving the great corporation which he so Obly
misrepresented 20 make what il may out of the
uncertain assets that he couldn't take with
him.
Had Mr.. Moore robbed till of a dollar and
q half he would have been in the Jail or work.
house by this time. But justice moves with no
such CELEBRITY in its dealings with criminals
whose operations extend systematically
through years OF undisturbed speculation and
swallow up trust funds by the half million or
more.
1t Is inconceivable that a financial insttu-
ton like the Connecticut Mutual should in the
first place so manage its affairs as TO render
such an embeZZlement possible, and in the
second place still more inconceivable that the
embezzlement being discovered, il should in
terpose no hindrances to the ecaspade of its
perpetrator.
1t isn't enough to say in reply to this that
the company has the right to conduct its own
business in its own way, and that even if it
does not take bad risks on the lives of its
policy-holders, it may assume extra-hazardOus
risks on the honesty of its agents, or that be-
ing corporation OF unquestioned solidity and
solvency, it can stand little thing like q
halt million dollar steal without affecting its
credit-this is not the point.
No insurance company, be its strength what
il may, has the right to do an act Of injustice
or imprsdence to the people who have en-
riched il out of their savings, and whose ex-
pectatiOns hinge upon the security Of their in
vestments in its policies. Neither has it the
right to intrust its interests TO the handling of
men on whose integrity rests the slightest
shadow OF suspicion. Least of all the right,
even in appearance, or through indifference or
dilatory action, to leave open the bars of flight
to one who has forfeited its confidence and
made criminal perversion of its funds.

To the sportsmen of Indiana.

To THE EDTOR-Sir: L understand that Mr..
Frank p. Foster of Anderson, Madison county, has
introduced his quail bill of two years ago, which
prohibits the shoOtingof quails Tor five years, and
that the committee having il in charge have reported
IL favorably. This is sheer fOOlishness We all
know that quails have been in greater numbers the
past than for ten years. Inscrutable PrOyi-
dence controls the II we have severe winters
quails will be thnned out. No statutes of man will
prevent il. If Mr.. Fosters bill becomes law every
genuine sportsman in the state will lie excluded
from field sports; every gentleman sportsman who
goes a6eding FOR health, recreation and pleasure
will be barred by its provisions. Game butchers and
pOt-hunters care nothing Tor law; they will be mas
tiers OF the situation and have the whole field 10
themselves. SpOrtsmen of Indiana, what are YOU
going to do about it? GEORGE W. EIsENBREY.

THE "BEE LINE" AND "BIG a."

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-The negotiations which
have been pending for some days between
Cornelius Vanderbilt and Pierpont Morgan for

Cincinnati & indianapolis railroad, known as

apolis, st. Louis & Chicago railroad, generally
called the "Bg A." have been successfully

out tomorrow. There has been some COM
petition between the two companies, but this
has been so slight as not TO be a factor in the
negotiations. The real reason is that the officers

ROasts and FilIets of Horse-FIesh.
MARX Lane Express.l


Truly there is no accounting fer tastes. The
for rOasts and fillets OF horse-fesh has assumed
such proportions that meat vendors are obliged
TO maintain a constant supply of this equine
product. Nor do they make any secret OF the
new departure in their trade; cuts of horse
flesh have been for some time openly displayed
in the shop windows. And to make bad worse,
soup made of horse-hesh is served daily in
several restaurants frequented by foreigners,
well as steaks and daintily prepared entrees

ancient, if rather illogical proverbs "To him
that hath lost his taste, sweet is souri,"

Sayings of Sir Sensible, maxim 9th,

Some simple people think that if any

theory is San eye for an eye'' and kick

of higher way of treating those who
wrong you? Lord Bacon says, Shy TAX

enemy; but in passing over it he is SUI
perior." 1t takes two you know to make
quarrel. And when you simply give
the go-by to wrong some one has done
to you, you take away just the occasion
your foe was seeking, to stir up all the
meanness in you. Do not brood over the
wrongs which others do to you. Why
should you befoul your soul in the cess
pool of another mans mean heart? 1t is
much more pleasant to walk in the sun
