the holding of the County Sunday
School Convention this year, which
occurs Sept. Goth, 21st and 22d. 1889.
The good people there are making

A Nero Matter of Doodle.

Let everybody understand that the
school-book articles in the Journal are paid
for at so much per line by the infamous
ring which has been plundering the peo-
pie of Indiana for many years past. This
refers to the editorial as well as the local
articles. Inscriptions and mendacious as
the journal is, it would not devote its col
umns to attacks upon leading citizens of
Indiana of its own political household
unless it were we'll paid for it. 1t could
not afford to lie about JOSEPHUs COLLECT
and WILLIAM HEILMAN, ID. J. MACKEY and
i. p. HUsTON, SnAs 7. Bowen and SAMUEL
MERRILL, unless it were well paid for it.
IT would not accuse Gov. HovEY and
President JORDAN and President PARSONS,
and Supts. JONES, LAYNE and WILEY of
spreading lie upon the public records of
the state unless it were well paid for it.
Doodle tells the whole story of the Jour
naPs crusade against cheap text books.
Doodle always dictates the course of the
Journal 1t was Doodle that made it
fight to give the Standard oil COM
pany a monopoly of the natural
gas business of Indianapolis. 1t was
Doodle that made it afterward fight
the Consumers trust in the interest of
another would-be natural gas monopoly.
1t was Doodle that kept it on the side of
the Indianapolis gas company during the
long struggle for cheaper light. 1t was
Doodle that led it to espouse the cause of
the coal barOns OF Clay county against
the starving miners, and to print false
and fraudulent payroll in order to pre-
vent the people from coming to their re-
lief. 1t was Doodle that induced it to fight
the textbook law, the pluck-me store
and miners screen laws, and every
other measure that was introduced in the
legislature last winter to protect the peo-
pie against the expressions and extortions
of greedy capital.
The Journal is prominently Doodle
organ. Its columns are VIGOROUSLY for
sale to the highest bidder. Its support
can be obtained for any ring, however
rascally; tor any job, however brazen; for
any scheme of public plumber, however
fragrant; either C. o. D., or for a share of
the booty. 1t is always found on the
Doodle side of every question. 1t has as
keen a scent for Doodle as the crow for
carrion.
In its fight for the school-book octopus
the Journal practically stands alone among
the newspapers of the state. Its credita-
bic to Indiana journalism that the Cincin-
natl pirates are able to hire but one paper
of importance in the state to do their
dirty work

poetess besides. Add 10 all this that she is only

says, very truly, that "the church and the
home give ample scope for all individual
peculiarities of belief or theory"
The public schools ought to confne
themselves to secular education. 1t would
be an outrage upon Roman catholic tax
payers to teach professionalism in them. 1t
is no injustice to any class of citizens to
restrict the schools to secular instruction.
This can be supplemented by religious in
struction, in accord with the beliefs of
parents, at the home, in the church and
Sabbath-school or elsewhere. The public
school system is a fixture in this republic.
Its highest usefulness can only be attained
when it does injustice to no class of citi-
zens by teaching the religious dogmas
professed by no other class.

Another Bad Appointment.

Mr.. JOHN H. OBERLY, democrat, who,
in several official capacities had made an
excellent record, was recently removed by
President HARRISON from the Office of
commissioner of Indian affairs, although
his retention was prayedfo by the Indian
rights association and by several thousand
republicans and democrats who were ia
miliar with the good work he had done in
the Indian bureau. Mr.. JAMES T. MORGAN
was appointedh his successor. The records
OF the war department show that MORGAN,
while colonel OF the Fourteenth U. S.
colored infantry, was tried, in 1866, by a
court-martial and found guilty on various
charges, as follows: OF having made false
charges against fellow-officer; OF having,
while custodian of recommendations for
advancement for himself and a fellow
officer, retained the latter and forwarded
only those in his own favor, and Of having
made false musters for companies in his
regiment to his pecuniary advantage. On
these charges. with specifications. Col.

WEDNESDAY, JULY II.
Cheap Text Books at Last.

The school book commissioners Wednes-
day awarded contracts for five years for
supplying various textbooks to the school
children of the state, under the provisions
of the new law. The contracts for the
full series of FIVE readers, two biographies
and two arithmetics were awarded to the
Indiana school book company, and for the
full series of six copy books to the b.
wen-Merrill company of this city. As to
all of these works the board adopted
and spread on record resolutions setting
forth that they were fully equal, in every
particular, TO the publications now in use,
and designated in the law asthe standards
OF merit Two of these resolutions were
unanimously adopted, and all the others
passed with but single dissenting vote.
This result is one upon which the peo-
pie of Indiana are to be congratulated. 1t
Is a complete vindication of the wis
dom Of the legislature in enacting
the much-abused school book law. 1t
demonstrates the soundness of the claim
that exorbitant prices have been for years,
and are to-day, charged our people by the
greedy book ring for their text books. 1t
Is conclusive evidence that the aspersions
cast upon the Indiana gentlemen who put
in the bids on these books were wholly
unwarranted. Finally, it will save the
people of Indiana many thousands OF dol
lars every year, and viii tend to rescue
our schools from most demOralizing in
fuence, which has contributed largely to
5mpair their usefulness for many years
past
As illustrating the saving which will be
made to Indiana parents by the new ar
rsngement, it NAV be mentioned that the
complete geography adopted by the board
will be sold at - cents. Gov. HovEY and
Profs. JORDAN, PARSONS, LAYNE, WILEY
and JONES certify. after careful ex-
animation, that this geography is in
every respect equal to the eclectic
geography now in general use. which has
been sold for Sl.65. Gov. HovEY was
evidently not far out of the way when he
declared. in his inaugural address, that
the book pirates were making a profit of
500 to 600 per cent.
The backbone of the school book ring is
now broken. 1t may struggle a while
longer to prevent the people from getting
the benefit of the new law, but the strug-
gle will be In vain. The contractors are
well-known and very reputable citizens
All their interests are here, and they can
not afford, even if they were so dis
posed. 10 act in any but the
best OF faith in carrying out their contract.
They will have to give bond of $4,000
for its faithful performance. THE SENTI-
NEL has every confidence that they viii
conform strictly to the spirit as well as
the letter of the law and the contract.
Should there be any failure on their part
to do this THE SENTINEL viii be the first
10 call them to sharp account. We have
made an earnest and successful fight for
cheap text books. and we expect to con-
tinue the fight until every book in use in
our schools is supplied at prices CORE
spending TO those which are to be charged
for the books embraced in the contracts
awarded yesterday. This viii be accom-
plished in the rot distant future.

MORGAN was found guilty by the unani-
nous verdict of the court and sentenced
to dismissal. When this sentence reached
the department headquarters it was set
aside in the manner thus described in the
records:
In the foregoing eases of Col. THOMAS J.
MORGAN, Fourteenth U. :. colored infantry.
the court, having found the accused guilty of
the first charge, the violation of the fifteenth
article OF war, had not authority to change the
sentence prescribed in that article for such Of
fenses and the failure TO conform TO the re-
quirement of the above article in sentencing
the accused is an error fatal to the proceedings
and judgment of the court so lar as it relates
to the first charge.
The requirement of the fifteenth article
Of war was that an officer found guilty of
violating it should be "cashiered," and
thereby utterly disabled to have or hold
any Office or employment in the service of
the United States.
The New York Times says:
We suppose that it will be conceded that the
Indian commissioner ought to be a pure and
honest man. That is true, indeed, of any puD-
lie officer, but it is most important in this case.
because dishonest or dishonorable conduct may
infict great injury on the Indians, who are pc
culiarly helpless, and may greatly compromise
the government, which has already suffered
deeply from the inefficiency and corruption of
its agents.
How the president manages to find so
many men with blemished records for i'm
portant offices is good deal of mystery.
He has made more improper appoint
ments since he became president than any
of his predecessors made in a full term,
GRANT alone excepted.
