THE republican members of the general
assembly, who have been doing everything
in their power 10 prevent the passage of
an election bill, or any other measure in
the interest OF the people. have, it is said,
decided to present an election bill of their
own, with which to antagonize the demo-
cratic bill The republican bin, of which
a synopsis is printed, contains some good
features, but they are taken bodily from
the Andrew bill. 1t contains at least one
very bad provision - that establishing
system OF voluntary registration. Under
such system, as we have pointed out, the
practice of Dudleyism would be greatly sim
plified. "Floaters" could be paid-in
'blocks OF five," if preterred-not to regis
ter. The republican bill is very much infe-
rior to the democratic bill, hut such as it is,
it is of course not offered in good faith,
its only purpose being to afford the repub-
licans a pretext for voting against the
senate bill.

WHY has not JOSEPH A. MOORE been
prosecuted for his crime? Why have the
officials of the Connecticut Mutual insur-
ance company permitted him to quietly
leave for parts unknown? What has
Secy. ABBOTT been about during his So
journ in indianapolis? These questions
are in everybody's mouth, and very nat
urally. 1t looks very much as if the in
surance officials were onlytoo glad to have
MOORE take his departure, for reasons
best known to themselves, and that, in
stead of putting any obstacles in the way
OF his exit, they had facilitated it. The
theory that the true inwardness" OF this
affair has not yet been revealed is gaining
ground every hour. Certain it is that the
developments of the past three or four
days have made it impossible to doubt
that MooRE's irregularities could not have
been committed without the knowledge
of his official superiors, unless the gross
est recklessness and inefficiency have
characterized the management of the
head office. That MOORE is not the only
nor the chief sinner in this business is
the conclusion to which the local public
is rapidly coming.

Several People Injured by Runaway Car

an Inclined Plane.
DENVER Feb. 3.-A serious accident oc-
CURED in North Denver this afternoon on the
Berkeley motor line. The car started down the
long and high grade, but before going any dis
lance became unmanageable and dashed down
the Hill at the rate of forty miles an hour.
When near the bottom the car jumped the
track and was smashed TO atoms. The ear was
nearly filled with people, all of whom were
more or less wounded. The most serious are:
john BOYER. thigh crushed and internally
injured; cannot live.
WILLIAM GREENNAN, conductor back
broken and recovery doubtful.
OTTo DRoHM, jr., thigh and arm broken.
Mrs. j. r. THOMAS, head cut and shoulder

''THE solution of the school-book prob
lem, says the Journal" is in the pur-
chase of the best books in the market at
wholesale rates from the lowest bidders
and then furnishing them at cost or free
to pupils" Just so. And this is precisely
the solution" that the school-book trust
lobby is spending time and money to
bring about The trust couldn't ask
for softer ''snap" than this. The trust
would little rather sell its books to the
state than to individuals. The expense of
carrying on the business would be greatly
reduced under this arrangement, and the
combination could continue to get its own
prices. Let us hope. for the sake of
the people of Indiana, who have
been so long robbed by the trust
that the Legislature will be able to find
some other solution of the problem than
the one proposed by the subsidized organ
of the trust

The republicans OF Decatur and Shelby
counties actually propose TO renominate
s. J. CARPENTER for the senate. The Co
lumbus Republican urges such action, and
the Indianapolis Journal seconds the mo-
ton. CARPENTER has just been unseated
by the senate for bribery. The evidence
OF his guilt was overwhelming, no attempt
being made to refute it. He sconstitution-
ally disqualified from sitting in the senate
during the next four years. His nomina-
ton, which appears to be assured, will be
another evidence of the moral rottenness of
the republican party of Indiana. But moth
ing better is TO be expected OF the party
which boasts among its leaders a WILLIAM
WADE DUDLEY and a WILLIAM A. WOoDs.
If the people of Shelby and Decatur coun-
ties are willing to be represented in the
Indiana senate by man who has been
proved guilty of bribery, and who is
under Indictment for that crime, it is
their disgrace and not the disgrace of the
state at large The senate, however, owes
it to its own self respect, and to the good
name of the state, to deny CARPENTER
seat if he should be elected. Bribery
must be made odious iHSIndiana, and one
way to make it 6diOhs is to deprive those
who practice itSof sthe profits OF their
crime. If the republicans OF Shelby and
Decatur insist upon nominating CARPEN-
TER, the people of those counties should
see to it that he is defeated. But if they
have too little regard for their own inter
ests and reputation to do this, the senate
should protect its own honor by declining
to admit him to a seat.

TIE opposition of the republicans in the
senate to Senator BARRETr's night-school
bill is as discreditable as it is character
istic. The bill is distinctly in the in
terest OF the working people of the state
1t is designed to afford an opportunity to
give the rudiments of an education to
those who have no such opportunity un-
der the present system. The measure
ought to commend itself to all friends of
our common schools, and to all who have
any interest in the welfare of wage-work-
ers Yet the entire republican force in
the senate is fighting it with as much vigor
as if it were vicious and dangerous
proposition. This is a very remarkable
attitude for representatives of party
which calls itself the party OF progress and
enlightenment

THE school book trust lobby is very
active, and will probably succeed in de-

the people with reference to school books
unless the statesmen who came here a few
weeks ago so full of zeal against the trust
bestir themselves. The trust lobby is not
making much noise, but it is getting in a
good deal of very fine work just the same.

declined the treasury portfolio rendered
him by Gen. HARRISON. Ii the report be
true, WILLIAM b. ALLISON is very sensi-

are not few, Mr. ALLISON is entirely too
respectable to be mixed up with the crowd
of political adventures that will surround
the next president By the way, it is very

THE assassination of Judge CLAYTON in
Arkansas was dastardly crime, and it is
to be hoped the perpetrators may be dis
covered and punished. The motive of the
deed is supposed to have been political,
but this is merely a supposition, as there
is no clew whatever to the guilty parties
OF course the assassination is made the
text of violent and incendiary articles in
the republican press, in which the people
of the South are held up to execration as a
race of cutthroats, and the bloody shirt is
waved very vigorously. But in point of
fact the killing of CLAYTON affords no
more ground for stigmatizing the people
of Arkansas as murderers than the steal
ings of MOORE and SULLIVAN afford for
branding the people OF Indiana as thieves.

TINS week should witness the enact
ment of the senate election bill. 1t has
received the careful consideration of the
judiciary committee of the senate and is
unquestionably in accord with the popu-
lar demand. The democratic press of the
state is unit in its support, and its pas
sage, substantially as reported, is de-
manded alike by the highest considera-
tons of the public interests and the
wisest party policy. Let every democrat
in the legislature sustain this most timely
and righteous measure of reform.

SCOTT'S EMULSION of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, with Hypophosphites, is a
combination of two of the most valua-
BILE remedies in existence for the cure
Of Consumption and all Wasting Con-
ditionS; is more generally recommend
ed and used by Physicians than any
known remedy; it gives most satisfac-
tory results, and tones up the system !;
and when the Consumptive has wasted
away and loses hope, the Emulsion
will speedily check the ravages of this
terrible disease, and restore the sufferer
to good health and happiness. This
is equally true in regard to Rickets in
Children, or Marasmus and Anemia in
Adults, and all impoverished conditions
of the blood and especially desirable
for Cclds and Chronic Coughs, as it
will cure them more quickly than ordi-
nary Specifics used. Palatable as milk.

HER APOLoGY.-A little girl who
had foolish habit of plain sreaking
was taken to the sewing circle by her
mother. On entering the room, after
exchanging greetings with several ma
irons Of her acquaintance, Miss Truth
full walked up to another lady. aad In
the confidential tone of one who gives
utterance TO a self evident fact, she
said, loudly enough for every one pres
ent to hear:
"Why, Mrs. Handley, how homely
you arel'
When the victim was hiding her con-
fusion as best she might, and the rest
were trying hard to conceal their
amusement, the young lady herself was
hastily taken from the room.
Once in the hall, she was dealt with
somewhat severely, and made to feel
the enormity of her unlntentional rude
ness. Then she was taken back to
apologize.
Walking straight up to Mrs. Hand
ley, while all the ladies held their breath
to listen, she said. with trembling tones
and with the tears still upon her
cheeks:
''Mrs. Handley, I'm sorry you're so
hOmelyl"

We print in another column the 41st
Annual Statement of The Penn Mutual
Life insurance Co., of Philadelphia. This
exhibit shows total assets of nearly four
teen million dollars, and a surplus over
all liabilities to policy holders of over two
million and half dollars; these figures
are sufficiently gratifying, but the state
ment of new business written during the
past year is simply marvellous, showing as
it does grand total of five thousand six
hundred and sixty six policies insuring
for S14. $50, 744.00. 1t is very evident that
the Penn Mutual means to keep its posi-
tion at the head of the column, and there 1T
deserves to stay, as there is not in the
country a more carefully managed and
honestly conducted Company. The watch
words of the officers of the Penn Mutual
