Two Bulldozing Senators.


The republican senators from Illinois have
been on a strike against Harrison for the past
few days, but to-day they thawed out enough
to make another effort in behalf of the Office
seekers of their constituents. Saturday Farwell
and CullOm drove to the white house in a cab.
Their intention was 10 bulldose the president
into appointing Asa Matthews commissioner of
internal revenue. They hummed and hawed
with the question for some time, presenting
Matthews in as strong light as they could,
showing the necessity for recognizing Illinois,
the eminent qualifications of Matthews tor the
place, and the other things that offce-brokers
usually urge as strong points.
Harrison tried to evade the question directly,
but Farwell, who is good deal of a bulldozer,
thought he would make an issue. He said: "Mr.
President we are tired of this kind of thing
coming around here day by day and going away
without any satisfaction. Now, want you to
say yes or no. whether you will appoint Mat
thews collector of internal revenue or not"
Promptly Harrison closed his fist and with
force hammered his desk and said: "No, will
not"
Good day, Mr.. President" said the Illinois
statesmen, and they took their departure.
They told their experience to their intimates
with great care and vast indignation all day
yesterday and half of to-day. They said they
would never again ask Harrison for anything;
but the pressure was too great for them and
this afternoon they made another trip to the
executive mansion and urged Meredith of Chi
cago for public printer. They were given as.
surances that satisfied them that Meredith
would be appoin ted.

KIND WORDS FOR 1.-THE SENTINEL
"LOng May 1t Wave"
TAuburu Courier. I


The INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL has placed
the people of Indiana under lasting obligations
for its able and patriotic course during the late
session of the legislature. Never in the history
OF the state have we had a paper that has
watched so intently every movement OF the as
sembly, and has so persistently denounced the
wrong or insisted on having the right thing
done in the right way. There was not an inn
portant measure before that body but The
SENTINEL studied it, discussed it aud threw
new light on it. If it were desirable thing
THE SENTINEL urged that it become law. If
it was not desirable, it gave it the
most unhinching opposition. And neither
its aid nor its opposition was without its own
clearly expressed reasons. If it opposed law,
it could and did tell why. If it favored a meas
ure, no matter whether its party had ever ac-
cepted the theory before, THE SENTINEL was
ready and able TO say why it should now be
cepted and be made part of the party doc
trines. Always clear, able thoughtful, scholarly,
but firm and uncompromising, it proved an as
sistance and a power in shaping the legislation
OF the most able aud fearless body of men that
ever constituted the assembly of Indiana. The
people of the state, regardless of party, hut the
democrats more especially, owe THE SENTINEL
a debt of gratitude, and we are glad to see they
realize it. Long may THE SENTINEL wave.

DUNLAP IS IN.
The q. s. Marshars once Transferred TO
Mr.. Dunlap.

The change of administration was felt for the
first time yesterday in the Federal building.
William L. Dunlap is now q. S. marshal of the
district of Indiana, and Edward Hawkins is ex-
marshal. No special ceremony attended the
change, which occurred yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Dunlap's commission arrived Saturday
He appeared before Judge Woods yesterday
and was promptly sworn in. His bond was APP
proved by the judge and filed with Clerk
Butler. The size of the bond is $4,000, and the
following gentlemen are the Dondsmen: Cab
riel NJ. Overstreet, ST., Thomas B. Wood, John
Clarke, Robert A. Alexander and Richard v.
Ditmars all of whom are freeholders of Frank
lin.
There is one peculiar thing about the COM
mission received by Dunlap, In addition to
the signature of Benjamin Harrison there is
also that of w. III. Miller, attorney-general The
popularity OF this is that during Cleveland's
administration the commissions were signed
by the secretary of state instead of by the Mt
torney-general. Mr.. Hawkins commission bore
the name OF Bayard instead of Garland
The first official act by Marshal Dunlap was
the appointing of Jesse 0verstreet as his chief
deputy. Mr.. Overstreet is a slender man of
about thirty-hve years OF age. His gold specta-
cles and small, sandy mustache give him the
appearance OF a student. He is a member of
the law lrm OF Overstreet, Hunter & Overstreet
of Franklin. The second act of the new
marshal was to appoint Andy Hart as one of
his deputies. Mr.. Hart is OF this city ard was
deputy before the democratic administration.
Marshal Hawkins and his deputies retired
with good grace. They Strengthened up all
the business or the office, made out minute
inventory OF everything connected with
It. and spent the afternoon initiating
the new marshal into the secret work
ings of the establishment. During the
morning Chris Stein performed his last duty in
arresting William Rhode of 524 S. Easiest. for
passing a counterfeit dollar. Commissioner
Van Buren, gave Rhode hearing and released
him on his own recOgnizance until this morn
ing. Charles Preston Taylor, known more
Familiarity as Charlie. was absent on a trip to
Michigan City 10 release James Dillon, post
office robber who has served his time at the
prison.
George s. Miller, better known as Frank
Miller, the chief deputy, performed the last
duties OF the Office with sang froid. Francis a.
Ward, known for short as Berry, also seemed
In good spirits. Lastly Edward Hawkins did
the good graces for his successor and thus the
administration changed hands.

WHAT ARE WE COMING TOP
Some of the Curious Predictions of n Wash
inGton ClairvOyant.

some OF tine curious predictions or q W ash
ingtOn ClairvOyant.
To THE EDIToR-Sir: Being Hoosier by
birth and having passed many years of my
early life in that state, and having read your
excellent paper, l have been much pleased
with your fearless exposure of Dudleyism and
your championship of the Indiana election
laws Allow me to congratulate you on the
manly and upright course OF The SENTINEL
in exposing the manner in which presidents
are bought and sold. There is no far-minded
American citizen to-day who does not believe
in his heart that Samuel j. Gilden was fairly
elected. And. but for his foresight, prudence
and goodness OF heart, there would have been
serious disaster at that time.
What are we coming to? Whittier are we
drifting? But it is cheering to know that your
new election law is one grand step toward sal
walton and redemption. Iyet have hope in the
people.
also wish to touch briefly on a late curious
experience near Philadelphia with an old lady
"a Mrs. Bradley-in a kind OF seance or clair
voyance. am by no means a spritualist; have
| never taken any interest in that kind of thing.
| But some very unaccOuntable things have tran
spired l will make a brief statement OF the
matters:
After an examination of the writer's phys-
cal condition, which proved true to the letter,
| | asked Mrs. b. if she could examine in connec-
| ton Herewith my WIFE, who was at that time
| and described her condition with a great deal
more accuracy than / could have done myself
| But strangest of all strange things. If true,
there seems to be an old man somewhere
| in Indiana who in early days was
very poor-in fact all the family were eX-
tremely poor. There was the biblical number
| of seven of them-four boys and three girls
as the story goes. Two boys and two girls are
| dead. One of the boys seems to have secured
| legacy belonging to the family and secreted it
from his brothers and sisters, who are still very
| poor, he being possessed of great wealth. And,
| strange to say, the place was pointed out where
the record of the family could be found for
more than hundred years back, and much
| other evidence of the whole transaction. In
answer 10 the query as to whether she could
see into the future of this country, she said:
| ''The next administration will witness the
| triumph of tariff reform; that Dudley would
] have place under Harrison: that prohibition
| amendments would carry in some of the states;
| apolis that would shortly be detected with
| dent of the United States by the foulest Of foul
methods"
If all these things prove true what may not
thoroughly sceptical and incredulOus, although
the statement in regard to the physical condi-
| ton OF myself and wife was most certainly true
to the letter. AS a matter OF great curiosity
such of the above predictions as are within
/ If the statements can be verified by the facts,
and time will develop the balance.

School Books and the Tariff.


The school book question will demonstrate
TO the people of Indiana what a curse a book
monopoly has been TO them. The new law
will enable parents and pupils to purchase
books one-half cheaper. That is a book that
formerly cost 81 can now be had for 80 cents.
This demonstrates the fact that the people
have been paying twice as much as books were
worth, and this extra money went directly into
the pockets of the book monopoly. The
same theory is true of our unjust tariff
laws. If it were not for the high taxes
on clothing, groceries and provisions, the peO-
pie could purchase them nearly one-half
cheaper, but as it now is, the extra money goes
into the pockets of the manufacturer. Will
any sane man say that a reduction in school
books will hurt labor? Not one. But every
family in Indiana knows that the new law will
benefit every person who has TO purchase a
book. The same theory will apply to clothing
and other necesSaries of life. Remove the
taxes and our people can get their goods
cheaper. Such theory does not affect labor;
it only reduces the enormous profits of the
manufacturer. The above is splendid "meat"
from which TO take tariff lesson. What is
true of the school book monopoly is also true
OF all other mOnopOlies.

Ennnl To the Emergency

To THE EDIToR-Sir; The democratic party
of the state of Indiana owes all honor to THE
INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL for the brave and
manly fight it has made in behalf of the people
in the advocacy of reform measures which
have become laws, whereby the state will be
saved from the disgrace of Dudieyism and the
people from being robbed by the combined
book monopolies of the country, with many
other good and wholesome laws. Among them
are the coal screen and the "pluck-me" store
laws. 1t is to be hoped that THE SENTINEL
will continue its good work in battling for the
interests of the people. 1t must put in its best
lIcks. There is big fight ahead to down
Napoleon Hovey. Judge Woods, Dudley and
the monopOlists, together with the journal and
the me too" AeI0s. But think THE SENTINEL
is equal TO the emergency. T. j. CHERRY.

The Prorre., Of Ballot Reform.

n 1. Evening fost
The first election which Montana viii hold a.
a state-in October next-will be conducted on
the Australian system of voting A ballot law
based upon that system was passed by the ter
ritOrial legislature at its present session, and
was signed few days ago by the governor. IL
is now SAID to be certain that the Rhode
Island legislature will within a few days pass
its pending ballot bill. and that it will become
a law to GO into effect next year. There are,
therefore. at present three states-Massachu-
sets, Indiana and Montana-with complete
and excellent baliOt-refom laws, and Rhode
Island will make fourth. This is likely to be
the total result Of the movement during the
present year, and it is on the whole, an en-
couragng one. 1t should be remembered that
the agitation of the question has been going on
only about two years. The immediate results
have been much greater than those of the civil
service reform agitation; for, though that has
been in progress now Tor many years only two
states-MasSachusett and New Iork-have
yet enacted laws embodying its principle.

The ''HOnest ard Much MaIigned" Dudley.
TIafaretfa Innrnal1

Col. Dudley, in an investigation at Washing
ton, ID. c., and while testifying under oath, was
asked the direct question whether or not he
wrote the famous "blocks-Of-fve" letter. now so
familiar TO everybody. He declined TO answer
the ground and plea that to answer the
question might criminate him. We ask, i'm the
name of common sense and in the light of all
the rules of evidence known to the law, how
such thing is possible, if Mr.. Dudley is inno-
cent? How can any INNOCENT man crimnate
himself by telling the TRUTH? Was ever any
such proposition heard of before? Does any
man believe or will any man say that if Mr.
ID. is as innocent of writing that letter as
his party friends would make believe,
he would hesitate for a moment to face
the world with firm and unequlvOcal denial?
A plea of innocence, based on such conduct as
Mr.. ID. is guilty of when ne declines to say yes
or no. really makes tired. In the light of
all the circumstances connected with this mat
ter from its incipiency to the present moment
there is but one reasonable and logical con-
cluson. and that is that William Wade Dudley
wrote that letter. If he did, there is not a
county in Indiana but what has a large number
of men who KNOW the fact Every republican
newspaper knows It. and no less a parsonage
than Gen. Benjamin Harrison, president of
this United States of America, knows it. OH
you lovers of liberty and purity, forget your
politics for a moment and think of this prOpo-
sition:-"I am innocent but dare not say so
lest / criminate myself"

TALK ABOUT THE GARDEN.
OTHER MATTERS oFFARM INTEREST.
White Grubs-Red Scale-Fresh EgGs-Use
OF Butter ColOrinG-Set Times For
Planting-Bone Dust-ApDlyIng
Manure-Farm Notes.

The garden should be plowed or spaded
as early in the season as possible, so as to
turn up the worms and insects to the frost.
A hen and brood at such a time would
prove beneficial, as the insects would be
thoroughly scratched out. After the best
and finest manure to be had is broad
casted on the plot the frost should be al
lowed time to pulverize the Jumps OF ma
nure and cIods of earth. As soon as the
ground is warm the plot should again be
worked over and the soil raked as fine as
an ash heap, which allows OF better seed
ing and more perfect cultivation later IN
the season.
All such vegetables as cabbages. egg
plants, tomatoes and peppers should be
grown under glass and transplanted, IN
order TO allow them a longer period for
growth, and also to have the plants ready
when the frost is gone. Onion sets, early
peas, beets, carrots, parsnips, potatoes and
herbs should be seeded-in as early as pos
sible Potatoes and turnips are not con-
sidered garden crops, but are grown for
an early supply in the garden by some.
The grass and weeds appear very early,
and will crowd down the young vegetables
unless thorough cultivation is given. The
frequent use OF the hoe at first will save
labor later, as weeds should be destroyed
as soon as the seeds terminate, at no time
being allowed TO grow. II the early crops
are carefully guarded against the damage
OF weeds the later crops will have fewer
difficulties 10 contend with owing to the
fewer seeds left OF the intruding plants.
The vegetables that viii not endure the
slightest touch of frost are beans OF all
kinds. egg plants, peppers, tomatoes,
squashes, melons and sweet corn. Such
crops should not be planted until May in
this latitude, but space may be saved by
allowing some of the later plants taking
the place OF those planted early. Turnips
can follow early potatoes, and string beans
may succeed the first crop of peas. If the
summer is not too dry and warm peas
may be grown for a succession until late.
Radishes NAV be grown from early spring
until fall, and patch of kale and mustard
NAV he cropped off early, TO be followed
by string beans for a later crop. As gar
den crops are not required to mature their
seeds the space occupied by each crop
should be cleared off for some other kind
as soon asst can be done, and in this man
ner small plot of ground can be made to
produce nearly ali the garden vegetables
required.
