one of the most extensive land frauds of recent
years.
Another CEvARTs1 who in a published card
had declared to the public that he was not con-
nected with the notorious Credit Mobilier, and
who, few weeks later. was reported by COM

which in days past have fattened on Philadel-

terry; hut no one can fail to see that Mr.. PAYNE
and his allies would naturally turn with hope
in his direction.
There is no reason to doubt that Mr..
HALsTEAD is telling the truth about these
senators, although we cannot recall that
Mr.. EvARTs, who never served in congress
before his present term as senator, was
implicated in the Credit Mobilier scandal.
1t seems to us, however, that if Mr.. HAL
STEAD has known all this time that PLUMB
was ''robber." INGALLS, a "boodler,"
FARwELL a corruptionist, TELLER land
grabber and Quay jobber, he owes it to
! the public TO explain why he kept his
mouth shut. he should not have waited
for these rascals to tread on his toes be-
fore he exposed them to the country. But,
|accordingto the old adage, when certain
kind of men fall out, certain other

strikingly verified in this business of

not, as prior to the adoption of the present sys-

at very much lower rate.

Woods Miserable Clubbing.

We want the people of Indiana to I'M
derstand precisely what Judge WooDs is
doing.
The last federal grand jury indicted a
large number of persons for illegal voting
in violation of sec. 5,511 of the revised
statutes of the United States. This Sec
ton, so far as it refers to this offense, reads
as follows:
If at any election for a representative in con-
gress any person knowingly =
votes at place where he may not be lawfully
entitled TO vote, or votes without having a
legal right to vote he shall be pun
ished, etc.
The offense, it will be seen, is not vot-
ing illegally for representative in coD-
gress, but voting illegally at an election
for representative in congress.
The courts have uniformly held that it
is only necessary that indictments for
crime shall follow the language of the
statute defining such crime.
All the indictments for illegal voting
quashed by Judge WooDs read as follows:
- at an election for a representative
IN the congress of the United States Tgiving the
congressional district at the lawful polling
place in the = precinct of the county of -
IN said district of - said - did
then and there unlawfully, knowingly and
feloniously vote at said election at said precinct
he, the said -- not then and there
having the lawful right then and there to vote
at said election.
Judge WOODS quashes these indict-
ments because they do not set forth that
the person accused voted for a represent
alive in congress as well as at an election
for representative in congress.
The illustrious Sir EDWARD COKE, in a
famous chaper of his institutes" which
has instructed and delighted many genera
tons of students of the science of law,
tells us that reason is the life of the
law" that Claw itself is nothing but
reason" and again that Claw is the perfec-
ton of reason" Is there any person in
this community, lawyer or layman,
of ordinary intelligence, capable
of understanding simple words in their
plain meaning, who viii undertake to
say that there is particle of reason or
common sense in the miserable hair-split-
ting by which Judge WooDs reaches the
conclusion that the indictments in these
cases are bad? And if there is no reason
in it, there is no law in il. His ruling is
not only opposed to common sense and to
reason, but it is in direct and open con-
flict with rulings made by himself repeat
edly-and some of them very recently
upon indictments drawn under this iden-
teal statute and in the precise terms of
these indictments.
It is an insult to the intelligence Of the

Organize To Enforce Justice.

Evansville Courier.l
The outrages upon justice perpetrated
by Judge WooDs in releasing, without
trial, 125 republican violators of the cleo
ton law, must be redressed in some way.
The democracy of Indiana should hold
a mass convention at Indianapolis at an
early day to take counsel together, with a
view to devise some means by which
justice shall be impartially administered
by the federal courts in this state.
The people OF Indiana i've under con-
stitution which guarantees to them equal
and exact justice.
1t is in harmony with the constitution
of the United States, which declares to all
citizens of the republic equal rights and
privileges before the law.
The federal government has no other
authority in Indiana than that which the
constitution of the United States clearly
defines, and under that constitution the
agents OF the federal government have no
authority Of any kind whose vital force is
not inspired by impartial justice.
When an agent of the federal govern
ment, whether he be judge of court or
a L. S. district attorney, converts his au-
thority into an instrument of oppression
and injustice, he commits treason against
the federal governments and treason against
the people of the state of Indiana.
Recent events have clearly shown that
in the federal court at Indianapolis only
democrats charged with violation of the
election laws can be punished, and that
republicans under indictment for SINH
lar crime are set free by the hundreds.
1t is time for the democracy of Indiana
to take steps to bring to punishment the
agents OF the federal government who
have been guilty of this outrage upon the
constitution of the United States and the
state OF Indiana.
The prostitution of the bench by this
man WOODS is something more than dis
grace; it is declaration of war by an agent
of the federal government against the
democrats of Indiana.
1t is, in effect, notice to the republic
ans of Indiana that they may overturn
the election laws of the state by and with
the consent of the federal government,
while the hands of the democracy are tied
by the same power.
1t means that the election laws are to be
used as a menace to democrats, while re-
publican scoundrels pollute the ballot-box
with guarantee of immunity.
1t is White Capism in the robes of
justice.
The democracy OF Indiana must not toll
crate IL a moment longer.
They should meet at Indianapolis in
that spirit of patriotism which inspired
the hearts and the acts of the signers OF
the declaration ofindependence, and, pro-
claiming anew the bill Of rights, they
should resolutely organize to enforce those
rights at all hazards.

WEDNESDAY. APRIL 10.
The World Must Not Know.

Some very interesting and important
matter throwing additional light upon the
manner in which justice (?) is adrHinis-
tered in the court presided over by WILL
IAN A. WOODS would have appeared in
this mornings SENTINEL but for the pres
sure of news and the demands of our adj
vertising patrons. 1t will not spoil, how
ever. We shall give it to the public at
the first opportunity.
The campaign against the judicial pro-
tector of crime and his confederates has
but just begun. Before it is finished the
world will know, not only everything
that has been done in order to save the
villains who debauched the ballot-box
last November, but why it has been done.
The "why" of it all is really more inter-
esting than the what" WILLIAM A.
WOODS and SMILEY n. CHAMBERS would
not have braved popular contempt and
indignation as they have done, except
under powerful pressure. What that
pressure was, and by whom it was ex-
erted, and for what reasons, will be made
to appear in due time.
Right here we will say, however, that
WILLIAM A. WOODS will not receive the
reward he is counting upon for his "honor-
able political services" The successor of
STANLEY MATTHEWS win be WILLIAM
HENRY HARRISON MILLER OF Indiana.
We wish to suggest also that when
SOLOMON CLAYPoOL promises that If
the prosecution of these election cases
is placed in competent hands and
vigorously conducted 'the result ociU reueal
10 the public UisiOn a shocking amount OF crime
against the election lq1rs," SOLOMON CLAY
POOL knows what he is talking about. The
members of the committee of one hun
bred, who are advertising their lack of
both common sense and common honesty
by charging that these prosecutions were
instigated by the Coy gang" and have
no substantial basis, find their utter con-
demnation in these words, deliberately
uttered by the man who sent two members
of this same gang to the penitentiary.
But the revelation to the public gaze Of
"a shocking amount of crime against the
election laws" must be prevented at all
hazards What does it matter if judicial
oaths are broken, and the department OF
justice is perverted into a shield for crime
and criminals? The truth about the re-
cent election in Indiana must be kept from
the world, whatever betide.
That is why the U. S. senate refused to
confirm the nomination of SOLOMON CLAY
POOL to be o. S. district attorney.
That is why EDWARD HAWKINS was the
first U. s. marshal to be removed by the
new administration.
But STANLEY MATTHEWS successor will
not be WILLIAM A. WooDs. 1t will be
WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON MILLER.

The school Book Law.

A private letter to the editor of THE
SENTINEL, from Frankfort, Ind, says:
The school-book trust lobby has diffused itself
over the state and is trying to create discomfort
with the new sohool-book law.
At least five six of the representatives of
the trust have been here for day or two, work
ing like beavers among our teachers and trus-
tees, saying the new law will not be q success,
and that it has myriads of defects, etc.
One MCLAUGHLIN, representing SHELDON
& Co., is fairly spreading himself.
After your magnificent fight against the
schooi-book trust deem Il duty to inform
you of this underhand etill-hunt that is now
being conducted to render the new law odious.
There is no doubt in the world that the
school-book ring and its official tools will
do everything in their power to prevent
the carrying out of the law recently
passed; that they will make desperate
efforts to evade it's provisions, and will
resort to every possible expedient to
render it obnoxious to the people, and to
deprive the latter of the benefits it was
designed to confer upon them. OF course
very much will depend upon the intelli-
gence and good faith of the board of edu-
cation, which is charged with the duty of
carrying into effect the main provisions
of the bill. If the board does its full
duty we have no doubt the law will give
universal satisfaction, after ithas received
fair trial, and will prove a great blessing
to the people.
Our belief in the wisdom and value
of this measure is strengthened by the ex-
perience of California The school-book
lobby and its organs stoutly averred, dur
ing the recent session, that the California
experiment had proved complete failure.

who employs such wretched quibbles as
prerext for dismissing indictments in such
serious cases as these is governed by any
but the basest motives. There is no pos
sible theory upon which his conduct can
be defended or even palliated. No honest
man will seek to excuse it.

WE learn from the st. Louis Globe Demo
crdt that "the jute bagging trust is evil
IDENTIFY going to run things with high
hand this year." OF course it is. All the
trusts are. They have got an administra-
ton at Washington in sympathy with
them, and are undisturbed by fears of tar
iff reduction. This jute trust practically
controls the product of all the mills in the
country, about twenty-five in number. 1t
has bought up all the jute butts it could
lay its hands on, and will have things all
its own way unless some of the efforts
that are making to find suitable substi-
tutes for jute prove successful. The Mills
bill put jute and jute butts on the free
list, and if it had become a law the bag
ging trust would be thing of the past.
