THE Journal is criticising President
CLEvELAND's silver record, and says his
predictions of evil to result from the con-
tinued coinage of silver have not been YER
flied. President CLEVELAND, like most
eastern statesmen OF both parties, has
taken the wrong view of the silver ques-
ton. But what view does the Journal
take? And what is B. HARRIsoN's posi-
ton on this question? We venture to
predict that the president, in his forth
coming message, will trim" on silver.
He will not take a positive stand against
it, nor will he dare to say anything in ia
vor OF puttingit ON an equality with gold in
our coinage. He is net built that way.
He hasn't the courage to take a square,
manly stand upon this or any other ques-
ton upon which differences exist in his
own party. President CLEVELAND was not
afraid to speak out, either upon this or
any other subject While we did not
agree with his views upon the silver ques-
ton, we admired the tran1ness and cour-
age with which they were presented.
President CLEVELAND is a bold, sincere
man, who does his duty as he sees it with
out fear of the consequences. President
HARRISON is a coward and demagogue
whose only conception of craftsmanship
is as to the art of getting votes.

Senator Harrison's Foresight.


In his famous speech in the u. s. senate on
the Goth of March. 1886, Benjamin Harrison
said: ut is not the question of few postoffices.
i freely say to my colleague that the republican
party would be stronger in Indiana il you put
every republican out of Office; and think the
democratic party would be weaker in precisely
the same proportion that you put democrats
at the recent municipal election in Indianapo-
lis Tuesday last seems in a measure to bear
out the correctness of the position assumed by
Senator Harrison in 1886; but the falling of in
the republican vote may also be somewhat ac-
counted for by the emigration from that city OF
a large number of its citizens TO fill federal
positions by appointment OF President Harri-

The NInnderson Matter.
lst. Louis Republic.

Mr.. Henderson is not entitled to a penny of
pension. The pretext of technical disability
under which he draws pension money is a wrong
10 the really disabled ex-soldiers as well as to
the labor of the country. Secy. Noble has done
partial if tardy justice in annulling the false
certificate Of his total disability to earn his
living. Complete justice will not be done until
his name has been stricken from the pension
private business and 5000 a year in public
Office, the pretense that a wound received in the
military service quarter of a century ago dis
ables him in whole or in part from supporting
himself is fraudulent, and the money he draws
is money wrongfully taken from labor 10 the
detriment OF really disabled veterans.

WE print elsewhere the resolutions re-
Gently adopted by the Randolph county
board of education on the textbook ques-
ton. They are sensible and patriotic,
and show that the Randolph county board
is composed of honest men and good citi-
zens. They very rightfully denounce the
attempt to give the school book question
partisan aspect, and condemn in severe
terms the attempt of the trust to create a
sentiment against the law by the use of
money. Randolph county is one of the
strongest republican counties in the state.
But that is no reason why it should not
enjoy all the advantages conferred by the
school book law. There is no politics"
in that law. Although it was passed by a
democratic legislature it received many
republican votes. 1t was in the line of
recommendations made by Gov. HovEY
in his inaugural address OF the state
board of education, which adopted the
new text books, more than half the men,
bers are republicans. OF the Indiana
school book company half the members,
including the president and vice-presi-
dent, are active republicans. The attempt
to make political issue out of these books
is simply trick of the school book trust,
which Gov. HovEY so roundly denounced
in his inaugural for its robbery of the
people OF Indiana. The Randolph county
board of education sees through this little
game, showing that it has more intelli-
gence and more honesty than certain
other republican boards-those of Kokomo
and Connersville, for instance.

enough to send me a copy of the Australian
ballot bill as it passed the legislature in your
state last winter. If we do not get some such a
measure adopted by our legislature, there is no
hope for the democracy in this new state, as

The Dressed Beef Act.

There is no room to doubt the sound
ness of Judge IRvIN's decision against the
constitutionality of the dressed beef in
spection act The act is clearly an attempt
to regulate commerce between the states,
and as such is violation of the federal con-
stitution. Happily. the guarantee in that
instrument of absolute free trade between
the states is too strong to be overcome.
The dressed beef act was an attempt to in
troduce the principle of the protective
tariff into state legislation. Its purpose
was to protect" the home beef industry,
by excluding the dressed beef OF other
states. This was sought to be accomplished
under the guise of a measure for
the safeguarding of the peoples health.
1t was deemed possible that such meas
ure would be held by the courts to be
within the police power of the state. But
the courts ignore the pretense upon which
this hope was based, and seeing in the act
clear assumption of power which the
constitution devolves exclusively upon the
federal legislature, hold it nullity.
OF course Judge IRvIN's decision will be
upheld by the supreme court. The act
was passed by the legislature without due
consideration. 1t was pressed by an or
ganization OF cattle raisers and butchers.
and the favor with which it was received
in the legislature was due to the
fact that it was a blow aimed
at the odious Chicago dressed beef monop-
oily. The destruction of that monopoly
and all others is much to be desired, but
it will have to be accomplished, if at all, by
methods which do not in any way conflict
with the constitutional guarantee of free
trade between the states. That has done
more to make us great and prosperous
people than any other one thing, and it
would be calamity should it become i'm
paired in the slightest degree.

THE average yield of wheat throughout
the country is now put, by the best au-
thorities, at about thirteen bushels an
acre. This is somewhat in excess of the
estimates of the department of agricul-
ture in its September report, which appear
to have been very loosely made. Whether
the report was "doctored" in the interest
of spectators, or was inaccurate owing to
the carelessness or incompetency of the
officials, it is impossible to say. The New
York Commercial Bulletin, commenting
upon the wheat situation and prospects,
SAYS:
Assuming that the crop this year is about
495,O00,000 bushels, the fact must also be
recognized that much of the winter wheat does
not grade up TO the standard, and appears to
have been somewhat injured. The quantity
available for contract USE or for consumption
in the form of the best flour, will be relatively
small; but it is not the choicest -four that is
taken for foreign markets, nor is the wheat
sent abroad exclusively of the best quality
The speculative demand counts for nothing, if
there is not behind it actual consumption at
home or abroad The foreign demand has
been so light thus far as to indicate nothing
like the enormous and urgent necessities
which have been supposed to exist. Up to
this time, foreign coun tries have not taken
from the United States as much wheat -four
included, since July l, as was taken during the
corresponding part of the last year. and the
exports for the last crop year were the small
est in any year since 1876.
1t is entirely proper for anybody to present
reasons for believing that the foreign demand
within the next nine months must be much
greater than il was during the corresponding
months of 1SSS-S9. Such reasoning will deserve
attention according to the weight of evidence
presented. The naked fact now is that the sup
ply is remarkably large, including stock
brought over from last year, while the export
demand does not as yet come up to that of last
year. These facts do not seem to justify any
enthusiastic speculation in wheat. nor could
such speculation fail to check the already
slender movement to other countries.

it had been shouted over the counter by the
waiter, MIR. Page, the manager of the place,
rushed behind the lunch laden shelf, stooped
TO find pantry, and then bent over task

he cut four or five slices, each as
thin as very thin wafer These were laid

Composition OF Ouicksaud.


Quicksand is found in nearly all parts OF
the country, but in very great quantity along
the Platte river in Nebraska. 1t is composed
principally of mica, or small particles Of
rock disintegrated from large bodies of rock
and subjected to continuous washing pro-
cess The water removes all the raggedness
or angular shape from the particles. The
fragments become smooth and shiny and
slip upon each other with the greatest facil-
ity, so that any heavy weight resting upon
this sand causes the particles to be displaced.
They separate from the center, allowing the
weight to sink until a solid basis is reached.
When particles of sand are ragged and an
gular any weight pressing on them WI
crowd them together until they are com
pacted into solid mass. A sand composed
Of mica or soapstone mixed with water seems
