vailed at the last sessions of their respect
i've legislatures. In all those bodies
measures were introduced against the
ring, but the ring succeeded in defeating
them all. In this state, however, the
power Of public opinion and the integrity
OF the legislature prevailed. The ring had
a powerful lobby on the ground, mar
shalled by officials of the state. 1t haG
an immense corruption fund, which was
expended freely. 1t had the aid of all the
venal newspapers in thestate, and ofevery
school official whom, by any means, it
had succeeded in getting into its power
1t contrived to introduce party politics
into the question, although it was a matter
entirely foreign to party politics. 1t en-
listed in its support political and religious
prejudices. But in spite of all, after the
6ercest and most memorable contest IN
the legislative annals of Indiana, this
brazen and corrupt ring was ignomin-
iously defeated A law was passed which,
If enforced, would drive the ring out of In
diana and rescue our schools from the most
insidious and corrupSig influence they
had ever been exposed to. In the first
battle between the school-book pirates snd
the people, the people had won.
The school book robbers, however, did
not propose to abandon the field. 1t was
a matter OF life and death with them.
They set themselves deliberately to work
to nullify the law. In another article We
shall show what the ring has done. and
what it has attempted to do, in this
direction since the 2nd of last March.

An Excess of Rainfall Reported-A Favor
able Week For Crops.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The week ending
July q was warmer than usual throughout the
gulf and south Atlantic states and slightly
cooler than usual in the northern states and
Ohio valley. The departure from the normal
ternperature was very slight in the Northwest
and along the Atlantic coast, while the average
daily temperature in the lake region was from
three degrees 10 five degrees below normal.
There has been an excess Of rain during the
week along the Atlantic coast from Maine to
South Carolina, and over the cotton region.
from the Atlantic coast westward 70 north
Texas. More rain than usual also oc-
Cured in southern Dakota, and over
the greater portion Of Nebraska, Kansas
and Colaado In the principal corn
states Of the central valleys and also The spring
rainfall for the week was less than usual, but
generally amounted TO about one.half an inch,
except in some sections OF Illinois and Mis-
souri,, where the rainfall exceeded thrce-fourths
Of an inch. The rainfall for the season con-
tinues in excess generally throughout the Mid.
die and South Atlantic states and from the
Texas coast northward to the Missouri valley
in western Illinois, eastern Wisconsin and
northern Michigan. While the recent rains
over the East Gulf states and thence north
ward TO the lake region indicate m excess OF
moisture for the season, the deficiency IN rain
fall over this section generally ranges from
four to ten inches for the season, or about 20
per cent. Of the nominal rainfall has occurred
over the East Gulf states and less than 50 per
cent over the states Of the Ohio valley. In
the extreme Northwestern states including
Minnesota and northern Dakota only about 60
per cent of the normal rainfall has occurred.

Duty of school Officials Perfectly Plain
Let Them Ignore the Trust.
Anderson Democratl

Anderson Democrat
There is much being done and still more
being said about the new school books Ii is
no small affair. Ii means quite a change in
the state of Indiana. There can be no oues-
ton but that the law was enacted in answer to
the wishes Of many at least Of the school
officers of the state. Ii was voted for by nearly
all the members of the legislature Whether
the law has defects, or whether 1t is the best
possible law is not relevant question az this
juncture. 1t is a law; It is a good law 1t will
require much work and probably some worry
on the part OF officers 10 carry out lis pro.
visions; especially is this true when there is
such war on against IL by publishers concerned
Many people underestimate the force OF the or
gained opposition to this measure. There is
capital to fight it in abundance and slick agents
In number. too. If then, the law is fairly sue
cessful the first year il will mean much. Il
this plan proposed and 10 be tried, succeeds in
Indiana il will be a precedent for other states
and means the surrender of large profits BY
certain publishers School officials should not
lose their heads in the excitement. They
should not allow themselves 20 be deceived.
The law is enacted and as such Is entitled 10 a
far trial. and the only sensible thing any off,
Ger can do is 10 do all he can to honestly en-
force IT, Anything else viii be a breach of
duty The state board Of education are men of
sound judgment and much can be trusted 70
their wisdom. They should have the co-opers-
ton of every subordinate officer IN the state.
Ii is 10 be believed, and with good reason, too,
that the law is good, that the books will be
good and that il will all result in great good
until proved otherwise by an honest trial IL
il is to be a failure the best and quickest way
TO prove it is by fair trial.
The inducements and arguments held ont by
other publishers should receive no considera-
ton whatever and are made only 10 confuse
and hinder or obstruct; made from motives
other than desire for the progress OF the
schools OF Indiana.
The trustees should determine as soon as pos
sible the number of books they will need and
report to the county superintendent, giving the
publishers every opportunity to fulfill the con.
tract. Don't get excited, enforce the law which
is your plain duty, pay no attention 20 foreign
circulars, and your schools will flourish as be.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

TRUTH, Indianapolis: 1) There is no tariff
on coffee. (2) There is no coffee trust. No
person of sense ever claimed that trust could
not exist unless sustained by tariff. But there
is no doubt that a great majority of trusts
could not exist a day but for the tariff. The
exceptions are those which deal in commod-
tiles, the production of which is confined to a
very limited area. Coffee is not produced in
this country, and, therefore, no duty that could
be imposed upon it would be protective in its
character

HANS 0. HANKNEss, a wealthy politician
of Albert Lea. Mimi, was appointed post
master there by President ARTHUR. When
Mr.. CLEVELAND became president he had
three years to serve. He was kept in Office
two years, when he was removed for
cause upon charges filed by many
patrons of the Office, including a
number of republicans In his
place D. K. STACY, a democrat, was APP
pointed Mr.. STACY was brave Union
soldier-went into the service private
and came out lieutenant. He has made
an efficient postmaster, but with two years
of his term yet to run, he has been re-
moved by President HARRISON, and the
office restored to HANKYEss. Civil service
reform aside, fair play and common de-
cency are violated in such performances as
this. The indianapolis Journal itself said,
only few days ago, that common sense,
common justice, good government, and
good politics alike require that every per-
son appointed and commissioned TO a
merely administrative office for four years
democrat or republican, be permitted to
serve out his term, except for good cause,
other than mere political difference, justi-
flying his removal"

II IL said ut indianapolis that the school
book publishers will withdraw their special
agents Ia this state. For this relief much
thanks. A few years ago the agents Of school
supplies succeeded In persuading the township
trustees 10 do very many bad things for which
the state suffered. The school book agents
have been able 20 do moro bad things with
those officials who have had In charge the sup.
ply OF school books. The new law may not
operate smoothly: II must be amended, but We
have experience enough OF the evil effects OF
the insidious efforts Of these willy agents Il

duty enables the trust to extort at least
s30,000,O0O year from them.
There is just one way to destroy this in
famous conspiracy and that is to repeal the
duty On refined sugar, or cut it down to
such point as will admit of the importa-
ton of refined sugar to compete with the
product of the trust refineries.
THE SENTINEL is in favor of this. The
Journal is in doubt, but thinks, on the
whole, that the duty would better stay.

JOHN JARRETT, who came out to Indiana
last year and told tariff lies to the work
ingmen, is now consul at Birmingham,
Eng. According to the Times of that city,
JARRETT says that President HARRIsoN's
last instructions to him before he left
America were to seize every opportunity
of removing any impressions that Ameri
cans dislike England, or wish to be on
other than the most cordial terms with
her. These instructions so fully accord
with his own views that he had the great
est pleasure possible in repeating them.
He adds:
OF course. I know some Of our people are
very fond, at election times, of performing the
operation known as twisting the lions tail"
Mr.. CLEVELAND and the democrats did 1t pretty
freely in the last election, but il made their de-
feat all the more crushing. The Sackville in
cident, as / suppose everybody over here knows
very well now, was only an election trick, and
a very shabby and stupid one, too. There Is
not a respectable American in the States that
does not sincerely regret the incident and,
with a meaning smile, | should think those
responsible for the episode are more sorry than
anyone else.
''If Mr.. JARRETT is fairly quoted, says a
cable correspondent, "he may fearlessly
claim to be the most acknowledgements
specimen of the driveling idiot ever sent
to attend to the business of the United
states in this country, and that is saying
a great deal Lord SALISBURY, at the man
sion house dinner, declared that the Amer
lean voters had rejected CLEVELAND to
soothe the ruffled feelings of SACKvILLE
and England, and among Americans who
come here there are unhappily many who
will say that, or tell any other lie to help
on their miserable little struggles for social
recognition. A U. S. cousul, however,
should not be among these"

The First presbyterian society of New
Haven, Conn.,, has gone TO pieces. The
church will be turned into a business
block, and the late pastor, Mr.. RoDGER, is
looking for another flock. Some time ago
he declared at prayer meeting, that he
had come to New Haven to work against
the false theology that was taught at Yale
college. Yale theology is still flourishing,
but Brother RoDGER and his society are
Gin the consomme." The collapse of his
church brings to light an interesting story
about that truly good man, P. NJ. Gen.
WANAMAKER. At a recent service Mr..
RoDGER told his flock that he had been in
communication with JOHN WANAMAKER,
the postmaster-general, who was one of
the largest clothing dealers in the coun-
try and a good, Christian gentleman, and
that he had scheme by which the church
debt could be wiped out Mr.. RoDGER
said that Mr.. WANAMAKER had offered to
stock a clothing store in this city for the
presbyterians, providing the church would
manage the establishment All in all it
was TO be a church affair. The pastor
urged that the offer be accepted. He said
that this was probably the best chance the
church would have to free itself from the
burdensome debt. The church people,
however, looked upon this novel project
with disfavor, and it was not undertaken.

PEOPLE who are inclined 10 doubt the
popularity OF the tariff reform idea in In
diana may learn something from the
novel and significant event at Bloomfield
Saturday. This is an "of year" in poll
tics; IL is now almost midway between
campaigns; there is no political excite
ment among the people; it is busy time
with farmers, yet the bare announce
ment of tariff reform "picnic" ut Bloom
field brought 10000 enthusiastic people to
that town, eager to hear the tariff question
discussed in it's practical bearings.

vertised and no special effort was
made 10 work up 20 crowd"
But the crowd was on hand Just the same,
and it was full Of enthusiasm and earnest
ness. Senator VooRHEes made n great
speech, and ex-Congressman Conn, Judge
ROBINSON, Speaker NIBLAcK, Congressman
JAsos Blows and others made forcible
and eloquent arguments. We present a
full report Of tho proceedings elsewhere,
and will only add here that the Bloom
