ALL the accounts given of the readers TO be
furnished under the new law by the Indiana
school-book ring, show that they are twenty or
thirty years behind the times. Books prepared
for the crude civilization OF Missouri thirty
years ago cannot be revamped to meet the re-
quirements of the high and progressive edu-
cational system long established in Indiana.
The enforced use Of books of an inferior char
acter, such as these PROFESSIONALLY are, will be
an immeasurable injury TO the schools and
the educational standing OF the state.
The above is a portion of one of the
advertisements inserted by the school
book trust in the editorial columns of the
Journal. These statements as to the age
of the new text books have been made so
often by the trust that il is possible some
persons may be misled by them. AS a
matter of fact all of the text books
recently adopted by the state board is a
new publication. Not one of them is as
old as the newest of the trust books. The
state board OF education, after a thorough
and careful examination, pronounced
them equal, in every respect, literary and
mechanical to the books already in use.
The new books speak for themselves, and
the trust will not succeed in convincing
the people that they are obsolete, or in
ferior in any way to the books it has been
so long selling at two prices.

WHEN Mr.. CLEVELAND became presi-
dent Vineland, N. j., had, OF course, a
republican postmaster His term had
two years to run, and he was allowed TO
serve it out. Then Mr.. CLEVELAND ap-
pointed democrat, DR.. CHARLES BREWER,
as postmaster. DR.. BREWER has just been
removed in the middle OF his term, by
President HARRISON. The Nineland Ere,'-
ing Journal rep says
We regret to note the undue haste OF the
administration in making a change in the
Nineland postoilice, as announced in this morn
ing's dispatches. DIR. BREWER has been
faithful, conscientious and accommodating
postmaster and it was the wish of the Vine
land people irrespective of party, that he
should be allowed to remain in the Office until
the expiration of his term in 1891. Should
vote be taken here to-day on the question of
his removal, we believe the verdict would be
almost unanimous in favor OF retention. The
appointment of Mr. PARSONS would have
been entirely satisfactory at the proper time,
but, coming as it has, will rather tend to rouse
unpleasant partisan feeling. The office will
probably never be administered more satisfac-
torily than during the past two years.

The Journal is good deal excited be-
cause THE SENTINEL bluntly stated that
its school book articles were advertise
ments, paid for by the rotten old school
book ring at so much per line. The
Journal calls THE SENTINEL some very
ugly names, and lies about it savagely,
just as if its reputation had been seriously
injured by THE SENTINEL's statements.
But the Journals outburst does not injure
The SENTINEL, and does not deceive
anybody. Everybody understands that
the Journal sold out to the school book
ring months ago. II. has done great
deal OF dirty work for the ring, such as
slandering some of the best men of In
diana of both political parties, and has
been well paid for it. This was only TO
be expected from the newspaper which
has found profit in lying for the Standard
oil company, the Indianapolis gas ring,
the Clay county coal operators, the ras-
cally paving ring, and every other com
bination or person engaged in swindling
the people that has needed its columns.
Always a Doodle organ, the Journal will
be cheek by jowl with the school book
ring so long as the latter has money to
spend with it,

Another Fat Frying Crusade.

The republican managers are much ex-
ercised about the approaching elections in
the four new states. There are eight L. :.
senators and five representatives at stake.
The republicans must win in order to
maintain their present slim majority in
the house, whereas defeat will entail no
loss upon the democrats so far as the
house is concerned. IL appears from
Washington kilograms TO the republican
Philadelphia Ledger, that the same meth
DDS which were used in New York, Indi-
ana and West Virginia are 10 be employed
in the four new states and under the same
auspices. Quay, BLOCKS OF five DUDLEY,
BILL" CHANDLER, CLAREsoN and other
notorious corruptionists will manage the
republican campaigns. 1t is said that these
fellows have already been in conference
with the president about the matter.
The latter, according to the Lcdger's Wash
ington correspondent, feels special inter
est in these elections" and is anxious that
"the republicans OF the country should
render what assistance they can" TO make
them certain for the &. o. p. This means,
we presume, another fat-irying crusade
against the manufacturers and corpor-
atoms. IL is so interpreted by the Tcle-
graph OF Philadelphia, which supported
HARRISON and MoRToN, and is a very able
and courageous Independent republican
journal. The Telegraph says:
When the chief magistrate of the country
causes II 20 be proclaimed that he is anxious
that republicans shall render assistance 20
carry elections in new and distant states, he
should not hesitate 10 take the next step, and
state what the reward of the cheerful giver
shall be. There is probably no one, not even
Mr.. DUDLEY himself, who better than Mr..
HARRISON knows about the shameless corrupt
use of money at the late presidential election;
for nowhere else was the use Of Il more shame
less than in his own state. No one should
know better than he that, il this corrupt OF
money is not stopped, elections will speedily
cease 10 represent the will of the people aud
will only represent the most infamous polu.

entire length and breadth Of the land who is
under such solemn obligations as he to dis

by every private and public obligation 10 dis
cOuntenance and condemn IT, but he does not
do that when he causes il TO be announced that
il is no secret that he wants the whole body of
republicans in the country 10 contribute 10 a
campaign fund 20 carry the new states for his
party. He is by doing that countenancng en-

Editorial Comment

Our city is just now honored with the pres
ence Of ex-Gov. Gray OF Indiana one OF the
most distinguished political leaders IN the
United States. Mr.. Gray has made an extended
trip over the Pacific coast, including Washing
ton territory and Oregon. As il is his FIRST trip
TO this part OF the republic, he finds that the
country surpasses in reality anything he had
imagined IL TO be before he saw II. He sees IN
the undevel0ped and diversified resources OF
this coast the elements OF future greatness Tar
beyond anything he could have ascribed TO Il
before his view had been clarified by
a personal inspection. The name OF Gov. Gray
has been cOnspicuously prominent IN the demo-
cratic party for n number Of years, and since
the death Of Mr.. Hendricks he has been looked
upon by the people Of has own state as that
gentleman's natural and legitimate political
successor. Had il not been for the crofuly
worked-up hurrah for Mr.. Thurman in the last
national democratic convention, he would
have had the second place on the ticket.
That would have secured the electoral vote
OF Indiana 70 the party. for Mr. Gray has
never been defeated in his own state. lie is q
man Of pronounced political sagacity and his
advice a party leader is always wise and
instinct with success. Amongst the possible
men in the party for the highest Offices IN the
nation, none stands more conspicuous before
the people Of tine country than Isaac p Gray.
We hope his visit here will be an agreeable
one, and that he will return home with pleas
ant memories of the part OF the republic which
we would be glad 10 see all our leading men
become familiar with b. personal inspection.

CLEVELAND rejoices in sixty-three mil
lionsires-if they are things to be rejoiced
over. A number of them are multi-mil-
lionaires. Standard oil RocKEFELLER
heads the list with an income of 50, 0OO 900
year or about So, 900 day. This means,
on six per cent. basis, that Mr.. RooKEFEL-
LER is worth S1500OO,000. Col. OLIVER
PAYNE, another Standard oil man, is put
down at 100000. A score or more are
rated at between $1,000 900 and $40, 00O, 900
each. Cleveland is certainly very rich
town, although, besides her sixty-three
millionaires she has good many times
sixty-three tramps and paupers. Her inn
mense fortunes, however, do not represent
the fruits of honest industry. They are
very largely the products of knavery. As

THE Clay county miners have again re-
jected proposition to return TO work at
the starvation wages offered by the oper-
ators. They are still ready to submit to
an arbitration, and the continued refusal
of the operators to agree TO this ought to
make public sentiment more unanimous
and emphatic in support of the miners
than ever before. They have conducted
themselves ever since these difficulties
began in a manner that entities them to
popular respect and sympathy. Their
condition is deplorable in the extreme,
and it is to be regretted that contributions
TO the relief fund have fallen off so greatly
during the last few days. A generous
hearted gentleman yesterday sent The
SENTINEL S25 for their benefit, and we
hope this action will inspire others TO
liberal offerings. Any sum, large or
small, will be acceptable. TIE SENTINEL

amounts received for this purpose.
