The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1889-11-13
The Natural Gas Law.

The supreme court Wednesday decided
that the act passed by the legislature last
spring prohibiting the piping OF natural
gas out of the state is unconstitutional.
This is one of the most important decisions
rendered by our supreme court in many
years. The particular question involved
was new one, but the principle upon
which the decision rests is well established.
The federal constitution inhibits any re-
straints upon interstate commerce. The
question at issue in this case was whether
natural gas was an article of commerce
within the meaning of the constitution.
The validity of the law was maintained by
counsel upon the ground thatit was simply
an exercise of the police power Of the
state The court rejected this view, hold
ing that natural gas was an article of COM
MERGE, and that a legislative prohibition
of its transportation to other states was an
attempted interference with interstate
commerce, and therefore null and void.
We presume the republican press will
point to this decision as an evidence ofthe
incapacity of the actual democratic legisla-
ture. The fact is that the bill had its origin
in the gas belt and was introduced by SEN
ator BARRETT at the request of repre-
sentatives of the natural gas interests, of
all political parties. Most of the natural
gas counties were represented in the legis
lature by republicans, and the measure
received its warmest support from them.
TJ,o IoocJa-- IN, 10, III
house-Mr. JOHNSON and Mr.. BROwNLEE-
were among its most earnest champions.
Many senators and members of both par
ties had grave doubts of the constitution
atty of the measure, but voted for it be-
cause they believed that the question
should be settled by the courts. and be-
cause they held that if it was within
the legislative competency, it ought to be-
come law. The decision of the supreme
court carries no reflection whatever either
upon the democratic majority or the re-
publican minority in the legislature.
Now that the law has been declared
invalid, the companies which are propos-
ing to pipe gas from Indiana to Ohio,
Illinois and Kentucky, will doubtless
begin operations on an extensive scale.
Whether the great volume of gas which
will be drawn from the Indiana reservoir
for extra-state consumption will threaten
the permanence of our supply is matter
upon which even the opinions of natural
gas experts will carry little weight. Time
alone can determine whether or no our
gas fields will prove equal to the additional
drain to which they will thus be subjected.
We believe there are no scientific grounds
upon which to base a prediction either
way.

the late elections, the principal questions
involved were the tariff and the record of
the administration. In Massachusetts, the
tariff was the overshadowing, the all
absorbing issue. 1t was the leading theme
of nearly all thespeechesandof most of the
newspaper discussion. For the rest, the
administration was arraigned by the dem
ocrats and defended by the republicans,
and the people were asked to pass judg-
ment State issues were little heard of.
In Ohio the tariff was the uppermost
topic. Half the speeches on either side
were devoted to it. The question OF free
wool or protected wool was especially
prominent. The Sunday question, the
third-term question and the iniquitous
record of FoRAKER's administration were.
of course, in issue, and we freely admit
that on these questions the republicans
lost many votes. But no candid man who
followed the Ohio campaign closely can
doubt that but for the change OF sentiment
on the tariff question and the unpopular
ity of the Harrison administration, the re-
publicans would have saved the state.
In Iowa the tariff and railroad monop-
oily questions were predominantduring the
campaign. The republican ticket was
dictated by the railroad monopOlies, and
this fact, together with the change in pub
lie sentiment, especially among the farm
ers on the tariff question arrayed the pow
erful Farmers alliance against it, and
marked its defeat. The anti-prohibition-
lists OF course contributed to this result,
but they could not have accomplished it
but for the revolt of the farmers against
protection, and the general disgust with
the administration.
The Journal may talk until the pigs fly,
but it will not succeed in convincing any
intelligent person that Tuesdays elections
were not a defeat for protection and
most emphatic rebuke to the blocks-of-
five administration.

The Meaning of the Elections.

That was very funny article on the cleo
tons in Thursdays Journal. 1t began
with the remark that ct is always best to
be honest with ones self, and republicans
may as we'll admit that this is not their
year" 1t proceeds with the frank admis-
sion that "the net result of Tuesdays cleo
tons is a series Of decided and, in some re-
spects, unexpected democratic victories"
and again that "the fact remains that in
the first series Of state elections following
the presidential election they the demo-
cratsl have won some decided victories"
Having thus been honest with itself
through six or eight lines, the Journal pro-
ceeds to be dishonest with itself to the ex-
tent OF half a column. 1t says that there
is nothing in these decided democratic
victories to elate the democracy or discour
age republicans" And then it tells why
the democrats should not rejoice nor
the republicans be cast down. 1t ex-
plains, to begin with. that this is an "off
year." and then it maintains that the
issues in the campaigns which terminated
last Tuesday in republican disaster were
chiefly local and transitory. Finally it in
sists that ut is absurd to call these demo-
cratic victories a rebuke TO the admins
tration. The administration" it adds,
"was not on trial in these states any more
than it was in the recent city election here.
The tariff question was discussed some
what, but it was entirely overshadowed by
other issues and cut no figure in the cleo
TONS"
OF course the inspired organ had to saw
something upon this melancholy occasion,
and this sort of thing will serve, perhaps,
as well as anything it could have said TO
soothe the wounded spirits of the Harri-
sonians. But in point of fact the most of
it is not true. 1t is true that in some of the
states local and transitory issues cut some
figure, but it is not true that the result
hinged mainly upon them. Opposition to
the third term in Ohio does not explain
the almost complete extinguishment of
the republican majority in Massachusetts,,
where there was no third-term issue.
Fear of negro domination in Virginia does
not account for the revolution in Iowa.
A revolt against puritanical Sunday in
Cincinnati does not explain the uniform
democratic gains from the Ohio river to
Lake Erie, and from the Pennsylvania to
the Indiana line. The unpopularity of
prohibition in the large towns of Iowa
doubtless weakened the republicans ma
terially in that state, but to this cause can
not be attributed the democratic gains In
every county in the state-in the mid
districts where prohibition is popular, as
we'll as in in the cities where il is not.
II the Journal were really honest with
itself and with it's republican readers it
would frankly confess that while local
and transitorv issues had their bearing in

A LETTER on the tariff question, recently
contributed to the New York Times by ex-
Secy. HUGH MCCULLOCH, has attracted a
great deal of attention throughout the
country. Mr.. McCULLocH was an old
time wing and an original republican. He
was the first comptroller oil the currency,
was secretary of the treasury in the cabi-
nets of three republican presidents, and
stands high as a political economist and
financier. Mr.. McCULLocH says, as he has
said before, that we have outgrown pro-
lection. "The United States" he says,
''has reached the point where freer trade
with other nations has become absolutely
necessary. The greatest producing coun-
try in the world, it has paramount inter
ests in international trade. With wise leg
islation it could hold the keys of the
worlds commerce and make the nations
its tributaries, AS Mr.. McCULLocH is not
a depraved college professor like ELIOT,
PERRY, SUMNER and JORDAN, but is, on the
contrary, practical man." in the best
sense of the term, we commend his refec-
tons to the consideration of our esteemed
contemporary, the Journal. Will it kindly
tell us what is the matter with HUGH Nc
CULLocH?

The Supreme Court Decisions.


In our local columns will be found the
remarkable decisions by which the right
of making a constitution for the state of
Indiana is vested in the judges of the
supreme court. They were not altogether
unexpected. The Journal announced two
days ago that such would be the case, al
though "of course there is nothing direct
or indirect from the court warranting such
a superstition" In fact it may be remem-
bered that the decision was announced
several months ago when the ''bold and
brutal but frank" Mr.. MICHENER remarked
that 1--WE have the supreme court" There
was some criticism made of a supreme
Judge several years since because be de-
sired certain decision telegraphed to po-
litical friends after it had been formally
handed down. The new method surpasses
electricity in speed and apparently reduces
the solution of all political cases to the
question, who has the court?
1t will be observed that the decisions
present one decidedly novel feature. In
his effort to steer clear OF the absurd theo-
ries OF Gov. HovEY, which had become the
universal subject of ridicule by the bar of
the state, Judge 0LDs plunges into a quag-
mire of unlimited extent and depth. On
general propositions to the effect that ''all
right is inherent in the people, he arrives
at the following astounding position:
"The conclusion we unhesitatinglyre reach
is that under the new constitution, which
took effect Nov. 1, 1851, the power to elect
state officers whose duties are general,
and such as the duties of the chief of the
Indiana bureau of statistics, remains with
the people, and that the proper interpre-
tation and construction to be given, sec. L,
art. To- is that state officers shall be chosen
by the electors of the state in such manner
as may be prescribed by law, and that it is
the duty of the legislature in creating a
state Office to fix the term of the office,
and provide for the election by the peo-
pie"
This conclusion is bad enough for all
practical purposes, in the face of the we'll
known constitutional provision that call
officers whose appointments are not other
wise provided for in this constitution shall
be chosen In such manner as now Is, or
hereafter may be, provided by law" but
when the learned gentleman attempts to
bolster up his erratic notion by citing as
authority the fact that in some cases the
legislature has provided for the election OF
state officers by the people, he simply
makes manifest the defects in what Bill
Nye would call his think-tank.
But this is not the climax of his argu-
ment. 1t is apparent that on this theory
the governor could no more be given the
power of appointment than the legisla-
turs could take the power OF election.

ability and purity of our man-that the
old blood still fows-that the old stock
still lives, and In the person of Gen. HAIR
RIsoN of Indiana has not degenerated, but
is noble, pure and good as in the days
that tried mems souls" BAKER says
that he has in his possession a hat full of
letters written to him by BENJAMIN HAIR
RIsoN indifferent times, allin his own hand,
andall testifying to BAKER srepublicanis
his services to the party and the presi-
dents own sense ofobligation. He has on
file in the state department the strongest
letters OF recommendation ever penned,
signed by all the republican leaders in the
state, urging his appointment as consul,
and yet he is turned down because he does
not happen to be on the slate fixed up by
the indianapolis gang. He can make no
Roadway with BLAINE because that
official keeps his hands off when
Indiana appointments are concerned,
and defers entirely to the president.
Mr.. BAKER says if there were to be an
election in Indiana tomorrow the repub-
hcan ticket would be buried out of sight.
He is no doubt correct about that, but he
is wrong in stigmatizing B. HARRISON as a
civil service reformer. HARRIsoN is
spokesman of the old-fashioned sort, and
has about ceased pretending to be any
thing else.

THE Journal remarks that the Australian
system seems to have worked well in Mas
sachusetts. 1t does, indeed. Last year,
under the old free and easy Doodle system,
Massachusetts went republican by $1,000.
This year, under the Australian system,
it went republican by considerably less
than 5000. If the Australian system works
as well all over the country, the grand old
party of monopolies and Doodle will soon
be nothing but bad smelling reminis-
cence

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1S.
Victory All Along the Line.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, i A. Mas we
write the counting-room of TEE SENTINEL
is full of happy democrats, and the street
in front of our office is packed with more
happy democrats, who are singing i'm
provised verses with alternating refrains
of ''Bye, Bonnie, Bye o." and "FoRAKER's
Climbed the Stair"
They have heard the news from Ohio,
from New York, from Virginia. from
Massachusetts, from Iowa, from Mary
land. from east and west and
north and south. And all the
news is democratic. FORAKER has
been defeated in Ohio for third term;
MaBoNE in Virginia has been buried I'M
der an overwhelming majority; New York
has elected the democratic ticket; New
Jersey has gone heavily democratic; the
democrats have made large gains IN
Massachusetts, they have carried Mary
land; they have probably elected gov
ernor IN Iowa; they have carried such
cities as Chicago, Buffalo and Denver; IN
fact, they have made practically "clean
sweep everywhere. No wonder the
democrats who fill and surround THE SEN
IrxEL Office are full of mirth and music.
There is no special occasion this morning
10 comment at length upon the signiti-
cance of the verdict renderedyesterday by
the people of ten states. 1t speaks for 1T
sell. II Is such rebuke for the admins
tration of BENJAMIN HARRISON as Jew adj
Ininizrations in our history have received.
It IS a laundering popular protest against
his wanton disregard of pledges solemnly
made to the country, and his subserviency
10 the trusts, corporations and monopo-
lies which seated him in the presi-
Dental chair. 1t means that the people
are coming to their senses on the great
question of taxation, and that they begin
10 see the folly and wickedness of the poll
cv which. though the agency of the gov
eminent, transfers the earnings OF the
many into the pockets of the few. Itmeans
that the people want honest government;
that they are opposed to subsidies;
that they are surfeited with of
fetal can't and political false pre-
lenses; that they have repented them
selves of the blindness which led them last
fall to turn out of power an administration
which had fearlessly and ably served the
interests OF the people, and had waged
earnest war against tax-eaters. land-grab
bers, and the whole scurvy race Of public
plunderers of high and low degree.
Such, in brief. is what yesterdays work
means, as we interpret it. Let democrats
everywhere rejoice! Let them stand by
their colors everywhere! Let them keep
their standard full high in air, and pro-
claiming, day by day, the great doctrine
of JEFFERSON and JACKSON, of TLDEN and
HENDRICKs and CLEVELAND. that taxation
for any other than public purposes is
crime against the people, they will find
themselves in 1898 again in possession of
the national government. and with full
power to carry out their grand mission.

DAVE BAKER of Jay county, who has
been denouncing HARRISON so vigorously
at Washington, claims TO have been the
only original simon-pure Harrison man.
He says that in 1860 he helped nominate
HARRISON for the first Office he ever held
that of reporter of the supreme court. In
1881 BAKER was member of the legisla-
ture and an active supporter of HARRISON
for senator. On May 30, 1888, he made
speech at Portland nominating HARRISON
for president. That speech, according to
BAKER, was the first gun in the Harrison
campaign, and was the text of numerous
articles in the press OF the country on the
subject OF grandfather's hat 1t was a
brilliant effort. BAKER said, with great
emphasis: "HARRIsoN is Indiana's choice
her only choice" The speech concluded
with a lofty peroration that contained
these words. THE tongue of SANDER will
be silenced when the people know the

Blood Poison

Is very liable to follow contact of the hands or
face with what is known as poison ivy, especi-
ally in hot weather or if the body is perspiring
freely. The trouble may subside for time,
only to appear in aggravated form when OPP
pOrtunity offers. The great purifying powers
of Hoods Sarsaparilla thoroughly eradicates
every trace of poison from the blood. as the
cures it has accomplished conclusively show.
1t also cures scroluls, salt rheum and all other
affections arising from impure or poisoned
blood.
