THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER

ticle written by the present private sec
rotary OF BENJAMIN HARRISON, perhaps it
will state how large a per centage of tho
profits on treasury deposits these banks
are now paying BENJAMIN HARRISON. The
official treasury statement made public
yesterday morning, shows that the gov
eminent now has on depos-
it in national banks the enor-
nous sum OF SIS, 342, 006,47. On Dec. 81
last these deposits amounted to So, $780,
1870. The reduction has been only the
nominal amount of S4,000,000, although
during the same period the total cash in
the treasury has been reduced SIS, 375,-
42l.36. Thus, Secy. WINDOW could, in the
course of ordinary disbursements, have
drawn out every dollar of the money de-
posted in the banks and still have drawn
on his sub-treasury funds for about $780,
100000.
Honest men, whatever their political
views, cannot contemplate this record of
the administration, in the light of the
Harrison-Blaine pronouncements of last
fall, without feelings of utter disgust and
contempt for the wretched hypocrite at
its head.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 5.-A terrible
explosion occurred this morning at the mouth
of st. Johns river by which two men were
killed and several injured. Capt. r. G. Ross,
in charge of the government work at St. Johns

blowing up the submerged wreck of the old

the men, II. I. Moore. aged twenty-five, son of
the captain, and a colored man named Powell,
were soldering twenty-five-poundc can of dyna-
mite when it exploded with a terrific report
and blew both men TO atoms. The only
portion of Moore that was found after the ex-
plosion was one toe. Engineer Dunn. of the
lighter, was badly wounded in the side and
arm. Capt. Moore was blackened by the ex-
plosion and badly shaken up, but is not seri-
ously injured. He is, however, almost insane
with grief over the terrible fate of his son.

THERE is a deep disgust among the re-

vailing temper of the outside republicans

is eminently correct in one sense, but we are
afraid that he has fallen into making the same
mistake commonly made in Washington,
that is in taking it for granted that Indianapo-
lis is synonymous with Indiana.
The Evansville Journal reproduces the
above and comments as follows:

WHEN 3. HARRISON was a candidate for
president he was civil service reformer.
As president he is an unreasonable
spokesman. When he was a candidate he
denounced the policy of keeping part OF
the treasury surplus in national banks.
But as president he keeps not only the sur
plus, but also part of the working balance
of the treasury, in the banks. The differ

SORROW over the appalling loss of life
in the disaster at Antwerp, Belgium, will
be the more poignant because OF the fact
that the sacrifice is due to criminal reck-
lessness on the part of the authorities. 1t
appears that the factory in which the ex-
plosion occurred had been condemned by
the common council, notwithstanding
which the officials permitted it to con-
tinue operation. In all probability, the
dignitaries responsible for this shocking
disaster will be made to suffer for their
criminal negligence. People who trihe

SO lightly in Europe as in this country,

SINCE B. HARRISON became president
the total cash in the national treasury has
been reduced nearly SS0,0O0,0OO. Some
of this money, however, has been drawn
from the national banks, although B.
HARRISON, JIM BLAINE and their fellow
demagogues last fall condemned, in the
very strongest terms, the policy of keep
ing the public funds on deposit in the ma
tional banks, and the Indianapolis Journal,
then conducted by the present private
secretary of the president, asserted that
President CLEVELAND was actuated by
corrupt motives, and derived Illicit gains
from such disposition of these funds. A
more striking commentary upon the du-
p.icity and demagogism of B. HARRISON,
president of many prayers, could not be
imagined than is afforded by these facts.

THERE was a time when the pension
roll was roll of honor. Since TANNER
has decided that a dishonorable discharge
from the service is no bar to a pension, it
cannot be so considered. Self-respecting

who were kicked out OF the service for

THE Madison Courier, one of the most
extreme republican papers in the state,
pronounces Supt. LAFoLLErTE's recent
circular a remarkable" document, and
adds:
Why the superintendent should take upon
himself to interfere with the operations of the
new law, which provides for the exchange of
books, is query that win arise in the public
mind. The circular is in the face of the recent
proposition made by Chicago firm to buy the
old books at a cash value, which is looked upon
by many as fair. Among those who wanted
to see the new law given a fair trial the circu-
lar is looked upon another of the many
movements in the interest of the book mo-
nopOly.
CHICAGO announces to the world that
the entire 100000 guarantee fund
for the worlds fair is pledged. Meantime
New York is discussing ways and means
of raising the desired fund in ten-dollar
subscriptions from her country cousins.
The difference between the two cities finds
very striking illustration. New York
talks but does nothing else. Chicago is
not exactly tongue-tied, but her actions
speak louder than words.

Western Pork Packing.

Cincinnati Price Current, 10: Opera
tions during the past week show that fif-
teen prominent points have fallen So, 900
hogs short of the corresponding week last
year. Other places show no important
variation in the aggregate. The entire
packing appears to be about 1900 hogs
short Of the corresponding date last year.
A feature of the present investigation of
special interest is the reported indication
OF the entire seasons packing as now ex :
pected. The estimates suggest the follow
ing: The total for the season, $500, 900
hogs, against 5,92l 900 hogs last year.
These exhibits imply a final shortage of
SOC, 900 hogs for the season, or $50, 900
smaller deficiency than shown at this date.
The estimates Of fifteen points suggest
that their packing win gain 10000 hogs
during the remainder of the season, and all
other places 10000 hogs, compared with
last year, of course. It is to be under
stood that at present the calculations for
the larger points are susceptible of consid-
cradle modification, partly BY error Of
judgment as to the available supplies, and
partly by influences which may arise later,

A Man With Two Hearts.

a divided heart, such as is found in the

sound is less perceptible on the right than
on the left. He claims to be abe to drop
his ribs like set of double action window

$4,000 for a Dead Child.

It was reported when Sarah Althea Ter
ny was in the Alameda county jail for in
sulting Justice Field that she gave birth
to dead child. The report is substan-
tiated by suit brought brought by Sarah
Althea for $4,000 damages against United
States Marshal Franks. She charges that
Franks treated her outrageously when re-
moving her from the court room. and that
when pushi.. & her into one Of the rooms
near the court he damned her against a
sharp corner of table, and the act killed
her unborn child. She alleges she never
refused to leave the court room with him,
and that after he had rudely dragged her
into small room he drew a pistol and
threatened to shoot her, when she scream
ed for help. She estimates her suffering
and the baby's death as worth $50, 900.
Franks, on his side. has suit pending
against Terry for similar amount for an
assault with bowie knife and knocking
him down. Franks chief damage is in the
loss of fine set of false teeth, which a
square right handler from Terry knocked
all to pieces.

editor of the Times, and the latter decided
to publish the letters without referring
them to any committees, state or national,

Niagara Falls Changing.

A large mass of rock fell from the prec-
ipice of the horse shoe or Canadian falls
Friday, and Tuesday night and the day
following smaller pieces broke away. The
noise made by the falling rock alarmed the
residents in the vicinity on the Canadian
side. The massive stone building known
as Table Rock house, was Jared to such a
degree that the doors were thrown open
and the occupants, who had retired,
jumped out of bed greatly excited by the
noise and the vibration of the building,
thinking it was shock of earthquake.
The effect of these displacements on the
contour of the falls is quite marked, the
change being to form an angle to the orig
inal horse shoe.

E. G. CARDIGAN, of Boston, who died
lately, was noted among Dartmouth
men not only for his prominence in all
educational matters, but for his activ-
ity as an alumnus of the college. He
had an interesting college career. He
worked his way through, taking six
years to complete his course. He was
manager of the boating-club when
Dartmouth won second place at Sara
toga. He received scholarship Of
$3.50 from the college, and last year
paid the money back. He was one OF
committee representing the alumni in
the management Of the college, and it
was through his efforts that the de-
gree of LII. d. was given to General
b. F. Butler.
