IND ANA'S 70 o-iTION.
Goirg Down In the Scale OF doubtful
StatCs,

States.
II Indiana is necessary tt. the success
of the rcpui licans next year it is lit
tie surprising that no Indiana repub'
lican who has any prospect of carrying
the state has as yet put himself in the
hands of his friends or been mentioned
in connection with the nomination.
There is not, it is true, much presiden-
tial timber in the republican party OF
Indiana at present. In fact, there
never was. Oliver p. Morton was the
incarnation of Indiana republicanism
in his day When he died he left no
successor, and none has since arisen.
The state has developed Dudleys and
Illusions by the score, brt these men
are the Warwiclzs who make kings-in
republican party politics. They are not
in the line of succession to the throne.
The republican party managers are
at sea in regard to Indiana. The impos'
sibility of finding IN Indianian in their
party who could possibly carry the
state has driven them into the Blaine
camp. They are there now. 1t there
was Il leader among the Indiana repub-
licans who could command the conf
dence and support of the party in his
state he could carry an unbroken dele
cation into the republican convention.
There is great deal of state pride
among the Iioosiers. They have, in
past years, voted asa unit in republic
an national conventions for citizens OF
their state who were known to be
lacking in all the qualities Of real
greatness. This year, however, there
is not IEoosicr in sight upon whom
they could be united with sutti ?ient
degree of cordiaIity and enthusiasm to
influence results.
Indiana has fallen to second place in
| the list of doubtful states. In the four
presidential contests from 1876 to 1855
inclusive, .hat state occupied the COM
mandins position of being the only one
| in the west that was at all debatable.
Less in population and in commercial
strength in the electoral college than
either Illinois or Wisconsin, she over
| shadowed both of those states in polit-
| ical importance. In the next campaign
her position will be less preemincnt,
but it would still cntitle her to recog-
nition at republican hands if she could
offer candidate for president whose
name, record and popularity would af'
ford at least a prospect of carrying the
state. That she has not done SO is ar
evidence of despair. If, under sucl
conditions, the nomination of one O.
her own unworthy sons should be
forced upon her, the state could be con
fdently relied upon to repudiatc it.
1t is surprising that Mr.. Dudley, who
is ambitious to save the state, and who
recently left Washington in bao
humor, has not started a vice presiden
tial boom in Indiana fer somebody-nc
matter whom. The second place on {
rational ticket usually goes to disaf
fected state, and Indiana is about a:
badly disaifccted as state can he. lie
her be entered for second place OF
the republican ticket st. Louis Re

MISSED HIS CHANCE.

uarrison's Indifference to the Credit Of
His Administrations.
II the fact be. as alleged. that the res
ignation of Pension Commissioner Raum
was placed in President Harrison's
hands two months ago. then the latter
official has lost an opportunity to per-
form an act that woull have redounded
to the credit of his administration. The
chronic abscnteeism and the scandals
that have marked Gen. Raum's incum-
bency of the pension commissionership
have furnished abundant reasons for
the prompt acceptance of the resigna-
ton whenever, in the course of the last
year, it may have been rendered, and
there has been ample justification dur
ing that length of time for asking for
it.
Secretary Noble bcgs the question
when he says that under Gen. Raum
the business transacted by the bureau
compares favorab!y with that done un-
der previous incumbents He knows
that one complaint is that pension
agents who have invested in business
ventures with the commissioner have
been favored at the bureau to the preju-
dice of claimants who were not clients
of such agents. He knows that son
of the commissioner male practice Of
selling the favor of the bureau foi
small loans and of neglecting his du-
ties for horse races and lall matches
and that he was retained in his position
after his practices had been exposed.
1t is possible that the president
breads the experiment of new commits
sioner. laying seen the follies of the
two he has al:eaay tried and found
wanting in all he qualities Of admins.

ONLY ONE ISSUE.
The Reformation of Unjust Tax Laws the
Object of the Democrats.

The reformation OF UNJUST TAX LAWS the
Object of the Democrats.
Mr.. Mills has done the country a
service in his clear-cut showing of the
reasons why the question of silver coin
age is not and at present cannot he a
party issue.
Neither party favors free coinage, and
neither opposes it. On that question
opinion is divided i'll both parties.
For good or i'll, as Mr.. Mills shows,
we already have free coinage in effect
to the extent OF fifty-four million dol
lars year, and no new law on the
subject could add more than ten mill
lion dollars or twelve million dollars a
year to that. The difference is too
small to be regarded as a factor Of i'm
portance in the distress which has
ovcrtaken large part of the popula-
ton
That distress is due to quite another
cause, and, whatever one may think
with respect to silver coinage, the pres
ent duty, the one thing of overwhelm.
ing concern is to remove the cause of
increasing poverty for the farmer, re-
duced wages for the workman and the
rapid absorption of the country's wealth
into the hands of a favored class by the
operations of unjust tax laws which IN
crease the cost OF everything the poor
man buys and lower the price of every
thing he sells.
That is the one party issue. The bat
tie of the people against monopoly
must be fought out to the finish be-
fore party lines can be adjusted to any
question of less Importance. The
reformation of unjust tax laws is the
one great concern, and for that demo
Gratis who, like Mr. Mills, believe in
free silver and democrats who oppose
it, will work together till the iniquity
is swept into the limbo whore the
other kind of slavery lies buried.--N
