HARRISON'S RECEPTION

At indianapolis Was Very COrdial-Pres-
ident Moved TO Tears.
INDIANAPOLIS, May IA large del
egation of Indiana friends met the Pres
idential party at Montezuma and made
themselves hoarse cheering the Presi-
dent. He was overcome by the greet
ing. and for the first time since he
started from Washington, was unable to
respond TO the demand for speech atany
length. What was said was heartily
thanking the people for their cordial re-
ception, which, after the many recep-
tions of similar kinds he had received
throughout his tour, seemed to him
more sweeter, after he had crossed the
border line of Indiana, and met again
many old friends.
The Presidential train arrived in this
city at 4:55 this afternoon, and its ap-
proach was heralded by a salute fired by
Battery A, Light Artillery. The prep
arations for the Presidents reception
were magnificent in every way consider
ing the limited length of his stay.
Crowds lined the streets, through which
the procession passed.
In Jackson Place, near the Union
Station. speakers stand was erected.
The crowd, in cheer after cheer gave
the President a genuine Hoosier well
come to his old home. Arrived at the
stand Governor Hovey addressed the
multitude and Mayor Sullivan IN neat
speech welcomed the President home.
President Harrison responded as fol-
lows:
81 do not think can speak much to-
day. The strain Of the long journey
and frequent calls made on me, have
somewhat exhausted me body and mind,
and have made my heart so open to

BILE moistness in the Presidents eyes
and his voice almost failed him.

Carriages were at once taken, and the
party rapidly driven to the station, re-
ceiving enthusiastic greetings on the
way from vast crowds, hurried en-
barkation, and the party was on the
home stretch for Washington.

our own districting, counting, GER
LITIGATION and returning OF votes"
Was it not THOMAS B. REED,
Speaker OF the Republican BILLION
DOLLAR Fifty-frst Congress? Did
not that Congress attempt to pass a
law that would give the federal judges,
not elected but appointed for life, and
thus independent of public sentiment
the complete control OF the appointment
OF registers and inspectors OF election
and of the election of members or Con-
gress? Federal marshals and federal
soldiers, according this system, could
exercise supreme power at the polls,
and the result of an election would be
determined by orders from Washington.
This was attempted in the face OF
unanswerable arguments by Democrats
that Congressman is commissioned oy
the State authorities and that the con-
stitutional power of Congress over the
election of members Of the House OF
Representatives is limited to the regula-
ton Ct the time, place and manner OF
holding the elections. Congress has no
right to place federal officers in actual
control Of all the machinery Of an cleo
ton. which would be subversive OF the
very principles of free government.
Yet this is what the Republican party
attempted to do. Is not that centraliza-
ton OF power at Washington OF the
worst sort?
From what party came the PROPOSE
tions to pass national law
of Marriage and Divorce, national law
of Education, and national law OF In
surance? All these have been advo-
Gated recently in the columns OF the
New York Tribune, the national organ
OF the Republican party. Is not that
Capitalization of power at Washington?
Who was it but BENJAMIN HAREI-
SON, the present Republican President,
who said the other day in a speech at
Galveston, Tex:
81 have always believed that it was one
of the undisputed functions Of the General
Government to make these great wafer
WAYS which penetrate our country, ana
these harbors into which our shipping
mnst come to receive the tribute OF rail and
river, safe, commodious and easy OF access.
The ministering care should extend TO our
whole country"
Is not this preaching the gospel OF
federalism, that the general government
at Washington should spend this money
for the people instead OF allowing the
people themselves through their State
and municipal governments to spend it
for themselves?
And, while the Force bill was before
the late Congress, who said:-
Mr.. William L. Wilson, the scholarly
and distinguished representative in Con-
gress from the Second district, has evident
" forgotten that the doctrine of State Rights,
as advocated by the ultrdists in the Democratic
party, had the life shot out Of it quarter Of
century ago.
1t was the Wheeling Intelligencer, it.
self, which now asks, "Who is trying to
centralize power in Washington?"
Our neighbor had better ''get to-
gether" and decide whether it is for
federalism and Capitalization of govern
ment, the whole tendency and cardinal
principle of its party, or for Democratic
home rule by the people.

AID FROM WEST VIRGINIA.
Why the Coke Operators in This State Will
Assist the Strikers.

Why the Coke Operators I'm This State Will
Assist the Strikers.
ScoTTDALE, Pa, May 14.-The
strikers have rather gained to-day,
though the operators say they have ten
men to one who quits. The men are
rather encouraged by an increase in
their receipts, as they need it badly.
The Clearfield region miners have de-
cided to give the strikers fifteen cents
apiece per day in addition to other as
sessments.
Labor officials rather created sensa-
tion to-day by stating to their men they
have received promises OF aid from
West Virginia operators, and from
operators in the Connellsville region,
who are paying old rates at their plants.
The secret OF this unexpected aid is
that operators in other fields, and those
paying the old wages in this field do not
care to see the strikers beaten. If the
Frick company wins the independent
operators will be under greater dis
advantage than ever, as the Frick COM
pany will be paying lower rates.

The Court-YeS, remember it.
Mr.. Somervile-I want to say we

competency of this testimony, which
will compel the Court to have the testi-
mony before it can decide. We ask that
it be heard in the absence OF the jury.
Capt. Dovener-Oh, you can't do that.
Mr.. Somerville-Do what?
Capt Dovener-Dismiss the jury in a
criminal case? Everything must go On
in criminal case in the presence of the

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, May 14.-At this
mornings session of the American
Boiler Makers Association several i'm

report of the Committee on Uniform In
spection, recommending that efforts be
made to secure the passing Of a National
inspection law, and in the event Of a
failure in that direction, the passage OF
State laws classifying boilers into four
classes brought on an animated discus
sion. The report was finally adopted.

suing year with James Lappan, OF Pitts

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS BY DIS

The law passed by the Democratic
Legislature OF Michigan providing for
the choice by districts of Presidential
electors next year, doesn't suit the
Republicans who had counted upon
the solid vote OF Michigan in the
Electoral College. Ii is even thought
that they may test it's validity in the
courts; and an eA-COngressman has been
found who thinks that it is unconstitu-
tional and who writes to the Detroit
Tribune in support of his theory. The
ex-Congressman is Mr.. CUTcHEoN; and
