h CAMp.IeN OF PURITY.

That the managers of the campaign
being waged in the interest of the pro-
fessionally "clean and eminently re-
spectacle" candidates of Sim Coy'sparty
have been squeezing the breweries for
contributions to their campaign fund is
known to be a fact. 1t has been
charged again and again, and in
the face of the charge the morning and
evening organs continue to conduct a
'holy" warfare against the Republicans.
Why should the brewers be asked to con-
tribute their money for the election of
Judge Sullivan and the Democratic
ticket? If the Democracy proposes to
retain the saloon tax, how is it
that the breweries are heavily assessed
in the party's interests? A well-known
brewer having made the statement that
money had been demanded of him, a
Journal reporter receives from his own
lips a confirmation of the report, and the
assessment was for hundreds of dollars,
too. The voters have a right to know
these things, and the Journal takes
pleasure in calling their attention to
them. We should like for the News and
its contemporary, the Sentinel, to-ex-
plain for what purpose the managers of
Judge S~ullivan's campaign are soliciting
contributions from this quarter.

THE organs of free trade are having a
stony road to travel with their pet bug
aboo, the wool tariff. They've been tell
ing us all summer that the wooden manu-
facturers of New England had turned
free-traders, and were clamoring for
free wool. When the manufacturer
committee met in Boston, a few weeks
ago., and adopted resolutions ~favoring
the protective principle more strongly
than ever, the organs received a severe
shock. But they finally recovered, and
came up smiling with the information
that the committee vas packed" by Re-
publican managers, and if we would
only wait until the general association
met in New York we would see the COM
mittee sat upon, and hear such a clamor
for free wool as would make ghosts
walk. They held their breath, Wednes-
day, while the association met in New
York and unanimously adopted the reso-
lutions presented by the committee. The
organs might have been spared this
awkward and humiliating position had
Mr.. Cleveland announced earlier his re-
markable discovery that ''party honesty
is party expediency."

A QUESTION OF $40 1000 A YEAR.

The Sentinel says the Democracy are
not in favor of a repeal of the saloon
tax. Perhaps they are not in favor of
an entire repeal of the tax, but they are
in favor of putting it back to 800 a
year. Every Democratic member of the
Council voted against increasing the tax
to $3.50 a year., and a majority of the
Democratic candidates are pledged to
vote for a reduction if elected. The re-
peal of the present ordinance and the
reduction of the tax to 800 a year is
one of the main objects of the present
campaign. Saloon-keepers who have
paid the tax, and who have also been
assessed for the Democratic campaign
fund, so understand it. The managers
of the Democratic campaign so under
stand it. Mr.. John p. Frenzel, financial
director of the campaign, supervisor of
assessments and dfsburser of funds, SO
understands it. The Democratic COM
mittee, who compelled the Sentinel to
relieve them from all responsibility for
its attack on the saloons, so understand
it. Everybody who knows anything
about the Democratic plan of campaign
knows that the reduction of the saloon
tax is an assured fact in the
event of the Democrats getting
control of the Council. 1t is on the
basis of this assurance that the Demo-
cratic managers have assessed the sa-
looms for a campaign fund, and it is with
this understanding that the saloons are
paying it.
The reduction of the tax to 800 would
deprive the city of about $4,000 a year
revenue. There are about $50 saloons
in the city. The old tax of 500 yielded
a revenue of say $4,000 a year. At
$3.50 the number of saloons would be
reduced, probably, to 800, and that num-
Der would pay $4,000 a year. A reduc-
ton of the tax to the old figure would
therefore be throwing away $4,000 a
year. This money would be a gift to
the saloons and a virtual robbery of the
city treasury. There is not another city

BOARDS OF PUBLIC KGRKs.

One of the most amusing features of
the Democratic city platform is the ar
raignment of the city authorities for not
submitting to the Curtis and Bigham
bills, and for testing their constitution
atty. These bills were a part of the
Democratic "gOod schemes of the last
Legislature. They attempted to enforce
a complete abdication of authority by
the city government, and a surrender of
the police, fire and street departments,
and all the property appertaining there
to, to a board of three persons appointed
by the Legislature, who had almost un-
limited authority to do as they pleased,
without any supervisory or advisory
power in any department of the city
government.
The tendency of recent times is to-
wards metropolitan executive boards,
advocates of municipal reform that such
boards, properly organized, and with their
powers and duties properly defined, will
prove a valuable feature of city govern
ment. In no case, however, has it been
held that the members of such boards
should be appointed by the Legislature
which creates them. If the last Legisla-
ture had created a board of control, and
given to the Mayor, as executive head of
the city, the power to appoint its men,
bers, subsequent members to be ap-
pointed by subsequent Mayors, the law
would have been sound in principle and
probably beneficial in practice. Butthe
law as passed was a violation of
the Constitution and a gross de-
parture from the principles of
good government. The city authorities
very properly refused to recognize the
authority of the legislative board until
the constitutionality of the law had
been tested, and they were right. The
Supreme Court held the law unconsti-
tutional. Now the Democrats arraign
the city authorities for refusing to obey
a law which is no law. They attack
Republicans for daring to question the
co%nstitutionality of a law which has
been held unconstitutional.
The Democracy were bound to take
| some position OF this question by the
excellent declaration of the Republican
convention in favor of "such Legislation
by the General Assembly as would au-
thorize the Mayor to appoint a nom
| partisan board of public works." They

THE malignancy with which the Dem
Ocratic evening organ starts afalsehood,
and the fendish gleefulness in which it
is repeated until the organ actually be-
lieves it itself, is apparent in the charge
that Republicans are boldly working
for Sim Coy's election to the Council
from the Eighteenth ward. Every
sane man in Indianapolis knows the
ward is strongly Democratic, and that
if the Republicans wanted Coy back in
the Council the only thing necessary to
secure that result would be for Mr..
Shufelton to stop making a vigorous
canvass, which he is not likely to do, no
matter how much the News secretly de-
sires Mr.. Coy's election.

JUDGE PENDLEToN, of Hancock coun-
ty, Ohio, has rendered an opinion of
great interest to owners of lands in the
gas territory of Indiana. He held that
an oil or gas lease did not carry with it
absolute control of the premises, and
that it only gave the lessee control of
so much of the surface of the land as
was necessary to develop b gas or oil
in the interior. The suit was brought
by the Standard Oil Company to restrain
a lessor from giving right of way to a
railroad through territory leased to the
petitioners. An appeal was taken.

tax as $3.50. Many impose 500 and $500,
and some go as high as $1,000 a year.
Owing to Democratic opposition, it has
taken a long time to get the tax here up
to $3.50, and now the Democracy propose
to cut it down again, d~epriving the city
of $4,000 a year, which it sorely needs.

THE ATTACK ON MR.. PEARSON.
The following is from the News of
YESTERDAY:

The following is from the News of
yesterday:
This is the law:
No member of the Common Council, or other
officer of such city shall, either directly or indi-
rectly, be a party to or in any manner interested
any matter, cause. or thing, by which any liabil-
iy or indebtedness is in any way or manner
created against such city.
How can the superintendent of the Gas
Company, as member of the Council, vote
for,a contract with the Gas Company by
the city, He certainly is interested In
every contract that the Gas Company
makes. AS councilman, he uses all neces-
sary time. all the influence he has, and his
vote to make contracts for the city with
his gas company on the most favorable
terms possible to the company, and, CORE
spondingly, the most unfavOrable to the
city.
The attack is a reflection on Mr.. Pear
sons personal and official integrity. The
city attorney has already stated that the
provision of law above quoted does not
apply to Mr.. PearsOn's case, and no good
lawyer, or fair-miDded person, can take
q different view. Mr.. Pearson is not q
stakeholder in the Indianapolis Gas
Company, a some members of the
Council are in the Consumers Trust.
He does receive a salary from the In
dianapolis Company for his services
in a certain capacity, as Mr.. Frenzel.
member of the School Board, does from
the Trust Company. Mr.. Pearson has no
interest, direct or indirect, in any on
tract between the city and the Gas Com
pany. He has been in the Council
ten years, and held the same relation to
the Gas Company before he was first
elected and ever since. The News sup
ported him year after year when he held
the same relation t. the company that
he does now Four years ago it said:
Two years ago the Fifth ward Democracy
made no nomination against Councilman
Pearson, and he had a clear sweep. This
fact seems to have exercised considerable
influence, and Mr.. Pearson, during his pres
ent term, has proven a very acceptable
councilman 20 all classes. and probably no
one member of the Oun exercises more
influence, nor has Oftener been found upon
the right side, than he. The Democracy
are expected to make a nomination tonight,
suggestion comes from several quarters that
they give Mr.. Pearson the same indOrSe-
ment he received in his last race.
Again, two years ago, the News said:
John r. Pearson, who happens to be a
Republican, representing a Republican
ward, has attended to the interests of his
district without partisansbip, and brings
to the administration of affairs acQualnt-
ance and long experience.
Mr.. Pearson then held the same relation
to the Gas Company that he does now. He
has done nothing to forfeit public conf
dence, and has never cast a vote not in
the interest of the city. If he was de-
serving of Endorsement four years ago,
and two years age, he is equally deserv-
ing of it now. The plain truth is the
News's opposition to Mr.. Pearson is per-
sonal, malignant, blind and unreason
| ing.
