THE DUDLEY LETTER.
A Suggestion By an Indignant Ex-Union
SoIdier.

To THE EDTroR-Sir- would suggest that fac
smile copy of the infamous Dudley letter be printed
with deep border surrounding it containing Judge
Woods instructions the grand jury, together with
all the facts relating 70 his supplementary acts in
this disgraceful scheme TO whiewash the most pal
pable piece of yillainy ever concocted by set OF
political thieves and robbers and that every lover
OF honest rule procure q number OF copies and keep
them posted in conspicuous places the state
an index to what we may reasonably expect Tor the
next four years regard such prostitution OF Judi
cial powers national calamity.
Well do | remember when | enlisted on the sd
of April, 1861 the feelings of pity alteInated with
contempt, which I had for the men who would so
ruthesSly attempt the destruction OF the best gov
eminent on earth.
That act was a revolutionary one, and in the event
of success would have found TO some extent, ust-
heation in the theory that 'might made right J"
But when this nation was at peace with all the world
and Gods blessings of freedom and right we're
spread out like GphantOm wave all Ger this mighty
land, man ordained to sit in judgment and re-
lgiOusly watch the golden scales Of justice and right
who wilfully turns the balance in favor OF renegade
and maefactOr is beneath the pale Of an honorable
and an honest contempt.
Such judicial corruption will only tend TO give ex-
cuse to White Caps and anarchists
May God save this nation from the ridicule and
aspersions that such officials are liable to bring
upon it, j. G. BURLINGTON.

To counsel, and aAdvise. ;,

To THE EDIToR-Sir: The newspapers re-
port that William Z. Beall of Eaton, o., "coun-
seled'' and advised" John w. Spivey of Mi
amisburg to murder Finley Huffman and fam
lily. Spivey did not commit the crime or at
tempt to do it, but reported the matter to a de-
tective who arrested ME Beall According TO
the opinion of Judge Woods, whose decision
as U. 5. judge ought to be as good in Ohio as it
is in Indiana, is not Mr.. Beall prosecuted indi
vidual and should he not be discharged from
custody? Will an Ohio grand jury, in the
teeth of sthat opinion, convict a man
for simply "counseling" and advising"
a murder to be committed when the
murder was not even attempted? AS the
Chicago Inter Ocean said concerning a parallel
case, the public will look for Beall ''to come
out of the1furnace without so much as the
smell of fire upon his garments" if the decis-
ion is good law. X.

A Dangerous Power.

The New York Herald's criticism upon
Judge WooDs' recent performance is emf
nently sound.
The Herald points out that Judge WooDs
usurped the functions of the grand jury
when he decided that DUDLEY had COM
mitted no crime, and could not be in
dicted. That was aquestion for the grand
jury alone to decide.
Judge WooDs admitted that the legal
point was doubtful one; that Judge
HARLAN had been very reluctantly"
brought to accept his view of it, and that
such eminent lawyers as ex-senator Nc
DONALD and Judge CLAYPooL held diff
ferent opinion. He also admitted that
their construction of the law was in the
interest OF public justice, while his was
opposed to it. Yet he assumed the
responsibility of instructing the jury
that the law did not cover DUDLEY's
offense, although he had given it adirectly
contrary instruction only a few weeks
previous and had permitted it to proceed
under that instruction to the end of an
important and costly investigation. If he
had been an honest iudge-if he had not
been determined to save DUDLEY from the
disgrace of an indictment, rather than to
protect the ballot-box and punish crime
he would have reserved the question
until an indictment had been found,
when, as the Herald says, sit could have
been thoroughly argued, both sides heard
and an appeal taken. 1t was not" that
journal adds, ga question to be disposed
of by single judge before indictment in
an ex parte way and without the power of
appeal"
And finally the Herald says-and with
great truth and pertinence:
If such power can be legally exercised by
one man on the bench there is no check upon
or limit to the abuse of which it is capable

The New Catalogue.

J. A. Everett & Co., the o. K. seed concern

As work of art. the circular this year is much
finer than any issued. The cover is beautifully
worked in cOlors. and has on it a map showing
the central location of indianapolis, as COM
pared with Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati,

catalogue is a valuable book for farmers and

The Governo, sTisinform ed.

To THE EDIToR-Ss-: 1 notice that Gov.
Hovey, in his inaugural, speaks of the distribu-
ton of the school funds depending upon the
number of pupils in Zach county who attend
the common schools. We are of the opinion
in this part of the state that neither the at
tendance nor the enrolment in the schools has
anything whatever to do with the distribution
of the school funds, hut that the distribution is
made on the basis Of the enumeration as re-
ported by the school trustees to the county

The Deed and Mortgage Law.

To THE EDIToR-Sr: While our state legis-
lature is in session, would it not be good time
to make some suggestions for the betterment of
statutes as to the legality of deeds, mortgages,
etc? / think there should be law enacted
compelling each person signing deed or mort
gage TO certify his or her age in said deed or
mortgage; also, Requiring the notary or justice
to certify in said instrument when his commits
sion expires. This would do away with many
cases OF litigation in court

"W. II. s." TELEGRAPHs the Commercial
Gazette that no evidence was presented to
the grand jury that DUDLEY either wrote
the letter or knew OF it. w. H. s. is liar
and very clumsy one at that. If there
had been no evidence before the grand
jury that DUDLEY wrote the letter, Judge
WooDs would not have found it necessary
to tell the grand jury that there was no
crime in writing such letter. This par
ticular lie of w. II. SIS is utterly lacking
in "artistic verisimilitude."

every democratic editor in the state will
be present at this meeting.

DUDLEY has the sublime gall to tell the
New York World that he is opposed to
bribery and corruption in political cleo
tons as in everything else. There is
something really beautiful about this ex-
hibition OF cheek which will compel the
admiration even of those who have never
before seen anything about the champion
vote-buyer OF the day to admire.

A suggestion to tho Democratic Editors.

To THE EDIToR-Sir: see in THE SEN
TINEL that the Democratic Editorial Associa-
tons Annual Meeting will be held in the
Hendricks club room on Thursday, Jan. 81. !"
1t is to be hoped they will not selecta the SUBJ
Ject OF their discussion the Hon. Grover Cleve-
land, president of the United States, and in
dulge in such adverse criticisms of him and of
his civil service reform policy. as they did at
Maxlntuckee some three years ago, the result
OF which was to weaken the democratic party,
and hand the state over TO the republicans two
years ago. | attribute TO the opposition of the
democratic press of Indiana to President Cleve-
lands civil service policy, our defeat in the
state two years ago; and as a reminder to the
forth coming meeting of editors, l say let the
democratic press OF the country be very careful
to know they are right then go ahead; for in
this, the nineteenth century, the people and
the press of the country is power that moves
them to action, either for the right or for the
wrong. Hence the importance of knowing you
are right in all matters pertaining to the well
fare OF the democratic party. Tell the truth,
make the press of the country reliable, and
with reliability Will come confidence, and in
1892 will come victory. The Hon. Grover Cleve-
land Of New York and the Hon. Issac P. Gray,
OF Indiana, will be our standard bearers in 49,
and will be electedbeyond all peradventure.

BECAUSE Judge WOODS told the grand
jury that advising bribery did not con-
stitute crime, the Inter Ocean declares
that DUDLEY comes out of the furnace
without so much as the smell of fire upon
his garments" This is going it even
stronger than Judge WooDs did in his
last charge. For even DUDLEY's Judge
made a sufficient concession to public
decency to characterize DUDLEY's act as
"bold and reprehensible" and to express
the hypocritical opinion that it ought to
be indictable if it isn't.

A lady who lives in the suburbs was down
in the city buying marketing. She had a
large basket full and was going to the corner
of Ninth street and ST. Heen's avenue for the
purpose of taking the motor line for her home
She has petite and rather youthful figure,
but is about 80 years of age and has been a
widow for a decade. A dapper young man.
who was also "masher," saw her and, ap
preaching, asked if he might not help her
home with her basket Now this widow hates
dapper young men, and especially Washers;
therefore she told the young man he might
see her home and carry her basket. He thought
he had made an immense hit and he also
thought in the dim light that the widow was
a beautiful young lady.
The widow transferred her basket to the
dapper young mans arm and relinquishing
her idea of riding home in the horse cars in
order that she might have a large bushel
basketful of fun. she started with her escort
for a walk of about fifteen lfe-size, full-ength
squares The basket got frightfully heavy
in about five blocks. in ten it was a huge
white elephant, and by the time the two
reached the ladys residence it was one of the
pyramids of Egypt, and the dapper young
man was badly blown and altogether broken
up The widow rang the bell at her door and
grown young lady came asking:
"Wby. ma, what did you ring the bell for!
The door was not locked"
The dapper young man almost tainted, and
when the widow said:
won't you come in, sir? Ny husband
would be very glad to see YOU" he was para
lyzed. But he recovered quickly and went
away from there, and that widow has been
having convulSive fits Of laughter ever since,
in which she is ably seconded by her daugh-
ter and the remainder of the family. The
masher has been taking iron and quinine ever
since to build up his strength. Tacoma Globe

YEA nor FOOD with which their tea may De
taken. We will raise the sum by a special
tax on each cup of tea sold in the restaurants
and public houses"
The proposition seemed entirely reasonable.
But perhaps the tea drinkers of Hanchow
thought that if this tax was once permitted
to he laid it would never be taken off again.
At any rate the restaurant keepers and tea
sellers in general held a meeting and resolved
TO close their places rather than pay the tea
tax Some of them, however, broke the
agreement and opened their shops. but the
people showed that they were in sympathy
with the rebellious tea sellers by gathering
in mobs and compelling the open shops to
close
After this rising not drop of tea was to
be found at any public house in all Hanchow.
And the provincial government was con-
fronted with the necessity of raising the tax
in some other way.-Youth's Companion.
