aNIMPEND!NG STORM.

There is political storm brewing in
Indiana which seriously menaces the
peace and integrity of the HARRISON
administration. 1t is always the case
that the state from which a president
halls regards itself as the favored one in
the distribution of patronage. from the
simple fact that every local politician
has speaking acquaintance with the
president, and therefore imagines him.
self to be deserving of special recognf-
tion. In this instance 1ndiana's claim
strong, because, in addition to being the
presidents own state. it was one of the
pivotal states in the election and great
deal depended on the ability of the local
politicians to pull the candidate through.
They did their work, as they imagine,
in heroic style, and now it cuts them to
the heart TO find that their services are
not recognized. Nearly three months
have passed by, and yet Indiana is ig-
nored by the administration, and what
few appointments have fallen that way
were made by the president as matter
of personal favoritism, and without the
least indication that the Republican
party in Indiana held any place in the
presidents esteem. AS an evi-
dence of how thoroughly dis
couraged the Indiana Republicans
are, the Republican Association of In
dianapolis, which, by the way, is the
leading political organization in the
cfota Of ;tc lo Of rnr,, lor m oootino q ofu Ilv
debated proposition to discontinue
the association as political body, and
to reorganiZe on social basis. This
proposition was advocated by some of
the most active Republicans in the city
on the ground that there was no use for
a Republican party in Indiana during
this administration. as they saw no
SLOW for Indiana Republicans TO gather
any of the spoils of last falls victory.
Nor is this feeling Of discomfort
and Encouragement confined to Indi-
ana. It has been rife in New York
ever since WARNER MILLER was per-
mitted to lie outside of the breastworks
where he fell in a successful attempt to
carry the state for HARRISON. The at
mospheric conditions are just as stormy
in Pennsylvania, where the Republican
bosses are lamenting their lack of in
fluence with the administration. There
is an open mutiny in Illinois: and tax
ing it altogether. the signs portend
cyclone in administration circles which
will likely prove destructive to
all Of Gen. HARRIsoN's ambitions
for second term, and may
prove disastrous to the hopes of
the Republican party itself. The fact
that Col. DUDLEY has opened Repub-
ican temple in Washington in opposi-
ton to the White house. and that it has
become the Mecca of all the spoilsmen,
is itself significant Of the disturbed
condition Of the political atmosphere.
1t was charged against the elder HAR-
RIsoN that one month of his admins
tration forever wrecked the old Whig
party, and it begins to look as if the
grandson had inherited some of the
HARRISON genius for destructibility.

THE CRoNIN MURDER.

Every incident connected with the
CRoNIN murder wears the garb Of mYs-
terry. The only thing that has been
solved is that the body now lying in the
morgue at Chicago is CRoNIN's, and yet
the parties who claimed to have seen
him alive after his mysterious disap-
pearance still lassert, and are mOstpositive
and solemn in their statements, that
they were not mistaken. The young
woman who claims that she saw him in
a Chicago street car the night after his
disappearance, and the railroad official
who testified to seeing him in Toron to
two days after he was missed in Chi
cago, both assert that they knew
him intimately and could not have
been deceived. And yet no intel
ligent jury can doubt the evil
dences of Identification of the
body found in the Lakeview catch
basin. ltis CRoNIN's body, and he was
unauestionably murdered, but still the
doctors were staggered in the post
mortem examination to find that the
wounds on the head, which were sup
posed to have been the unmistakable
evidence of the manner of his death,
were not necessarily fatal. Then,
again. the mystery which shrouded the
motive for the crime is as deep and
dark as ever. There are all sorts of
rumors and all manner of suspicious
circumstances. but they are just con-
flicting enough to deepen the mystery.
Upon the whole, the case presents one
of the finest opportunities for clever
detective work that has ever been
known in this country; and the de-
tective who unravels it will immortal
iZe himself.

County Jails Of Minnesota Are
Not Fit for Cattle.

Not Fit for Cattle.
The county jails of Minnesota are a
disgrace, not only to the state, but to
civilization at large. With but few
noteworthy exceptions, they are badly
regard is paid for the morality of those
coming within the pale of the law.
Public sentiment is difficult to arouse
ON this subject, at least in Minnesota.
The merchant, the capitalist and the
professional workingman are too much
engrossed in their own affairs. The
greed for money-making is too absorb
ing to allow of any attention
being paid the eanker which
is worming the very yitals Of
the whole moral system. Secretary
Hart. of the state board of corrections
and charities, has repeatedly told the
story of the county jails Of Minnesota.
He once more returns to the charge.
This week he has been visiting jail s in
Scott, Carver, Yellow Medicine, Chip
pewa, and Mcleod counties. It was
The old story: "The jail at Carver
county is so damp that it is necessary to
have fire every day in the year when
there are prisoners. The Jail is unfit
for use and should be condemned" Mr..
adit VtoitCu tuO jail MAY SUs LII was
also visited by the grand jury of that
county March IL, anu, in view of Mr..
Hart's sweeping report, 1t is interesting
TO read: 1--WE have examined into the
condition of the Jail of said county and
find that the same is properly kept. and
is in healthful condition." So
much for the intelligence of the
grand jury The jail of Yellow
Medicine county is wooden building,
containing an iron cell, dark and un-
wholesome. Chippewa county jail is
dirty and neglected. The jails of Scott
and Mcleod counties are more favora-
bly, spoken Of. Mr.. Hart visited the
village lookup at Granite Falls. The
building looked dirty, and when the
marshal's attention was called to this,
he said: 1--WE had it scrubbed out last
fa.l-last summer-we are just going to
clean it up now.' Secretary Hart will
shortly make further investigation of
the county jails and lock-ups Of the
state. and at the close will make a de
tailed report to the charitable and cor
rectiOnal board

A HEALTHY SEXrETTE.
Three Kentucky Couples Cello
brate Their Golden Wedding.

OcaCe 1Re1r NSOiOSn w WcUOsnS.
ScoTTsvILLE, KY, May 24.-The
most remarkable event of the kind
which ever occurred in this state, and
probably in the history of the world,
took place here yesterday. 1t was a
triple golden wedding. In the begin
ming of the year 1889 there lived in
Allen county at the homestead of their
father. s. j. Read, E. D. F. Read and r.
A. Read, all single. On May 23 of that
year E. D. F. Read married Miss Eliza
beth Pulliam, Sept. IL, F. A. Read
married Miss Mary E. Cockrell, and
Nov. S. j. Read married Miss
Eliza Jane Berry. All of these six esti-
mable people are to-day alive and
hearty, and are the parents and grand
parents of numerous children, some OF
whom are among the best known and
all among the most upright and re-
spectacle people in Kentucky. F. A.
Read lives in Louisville. The event
celebrated yesterday was the golden
wedding Of the three couples at the old
homestead in Allen county, whe re S. j.
Read still resides. There was an inn
mense crowd of people at the family
gathering to participate In the remark
able occurrence.

Barton RiIl's BENEFIT.

Interest at the benefit performance of
"Our Boys" at the Peoples, last night,
centered in the popular beneficiary, as
Talbot Champneys, and Luke Martin,
the new comedian, who played
Perkyns Middlewick in such a
manner as to at once estab-
lish himself upon a basis of
popularity. The other participants,
Mr.. Lipman, Mr.. Cotton, Mr.. johnson,
Mr.. Hale, Miss Young, Miss LIE Baron,
Mrs. Myers and Miss Williams, were at
their best and contributed largely to the
success Of the entertainment. At the
close Of the first act Mr.. Hill was pre-
and frame, fully five feet in height,
with fac-simile of his autograph in
small flowers ON the dark background
of ivy leaves in the center, the whole
being the gift of the members
of the company. At this point
Mr.. Hill made a speech Of thanks, his
voice trembling with emotion. At the
close of the performance he was also
presented privately with a fine gold
headed umbrella bearing the inscrip-
ton, 'sTo Barton Hill, of the st: Paul
Peoples tfeater, from the stage at
taches." The benefit was a marked
success in every way, ana the bill will
be repeated at to-day's matinee.
What the Librarians Want.
Col. Taylor. state librarian, mas re-
turned from the librarians convention
at st. Louis. He reports the state libra
rians have formed separate section
of the American Association of Librari-
ans, the officers of which are: Presi-
dent, Melvil Dewey, of New York;
vice president. W. H. Ell. Taylor, of Min
nesota; secretary and treasurer, j. P.
Dunn, Jr., of Indiana. Several i'm
pOrtant resolutions were adopted by the
association, which set forth that each
state should provide for the MAIN
tenance of state library, by creating
fund that should be continuous, and not
dependent upon annual or biennial
appropriations: that the salary of each
state librarian should be proporti0nate
to the salaries paid other state officers
in the same state, and the term of Office
should be made dependent upon his
efficiency solely and, not upon changes
of administration, political or otherwise.
Congress is to be peti.ioned for lower
rate of postage ON books, and that the
privileges now enjoyed by the library
Of congress. in the exemption of books
from import duties, be extended to state
libraries.
