CONVICT LABOR IN INDIANA.

The Democratic party is o convict
labor party. There is not State in the
Union where it has had the power that
it has not enacted a convict-labor law.
Nearly every Southern State has such a
law. So has Indiana. In this State the
law is as follows:
Section 613S The convicts may be hired
in any number, not exceeding one hum
dred in any one contract, In such manner
as tho directors, in their judgment. may
consider to be most conducive to the inter-
ests of the State. All contracts for work.
ing convicts shall be given to the highest
and best responsible bidder. The directors
ball cause such notice to be given by pub
location of the time and place of letting to
hire said convicts as they may deem most
shall be required to give security to the
State for the faithful performance of their
contracts. In such amount as the directors
in their Judgment may think proper.
This law was drafted by Democratic
committee. passed by Democratic Leg
islature and signed by a Democratic
Governor. 1t embodies the same lnfa-
nous principle that prevails in the
Southern States. For long time past
it has been the means of bringing con-
vict labor in competition with free Ia
Dor in this State. 1t has been disturb
ing factor in the wage question and has
been the means of Gripping more than
one industry.

PART OF A, FRAUDULENT PLAN.

The Legislature of 1880 extended
township trustees term of Office to four
years. The law makes trustees inspect
ors of elections and gives them the ap-
pointment of judges. and also voice In
the appointment of poll clerks. The
judges must be of opposite politics, and
the inspector holds the casting vote of
the board.
In the spring of 1890 there oc Cured
an election for township trustees, the
first following the act extending the
term to four years. During the cam
paign preceding the spring election the
Democratic State central committee sent
throughout the State circular calling
attention of Democrats to the political
Importance of the office of township
trustee. After calling attention to the
fact that the term of trustees had been
extended to four years the circular said:
Added to the duty and policy of the DEM
ocratic party to give the people the best
man for trustee there is q party advantage
TO be obtained by the election of our can
didates for that Office which can scarcely
be overcstlmated.
Township trustees are charged with
important duties in connection with local
government. but there was no reference
to these in the circular. The only allu-
sion was to the party advantage" to
be gained by electinR Democratic town
ship trustees, and this the circular said
could scarcely be overestimated.r The
Democrats put forth great efforts in the
spring election of 1890 and succeeded in
electing large majority of the town.
ship trustees throughout the State. Those
trustees are still in Office and are con-
tolling factor in the election machinery.
Herein lies the party advantage to which
the Democratic committee referred. 1t
gave them big advantage in the cleo
tion of 1890, and if Republicans are not
very careful it will give them the same

MILWAUKEE. Wis, Nov. For the first
time in the history OF Trinity Catholic
Church there was no service yesterday.
The break was caused by the discovery Of
the body of George Jspke. the sscristan.

congregation had filled the church. The
greatest excitement prevailed for time
after Father Conrad dismissed the con-
gregation with the explanation that some
thing terrible had happened. Janke had
been sacristan of the church for five years
he rang the bell for services Saturday at
vespers and that was the last seen of him.
When Father Conrad found that his robe
had not been laid out for service as usual

him, q search was Immediately inaugn-
rated. The searchere finally elm bed TO tic

hanging on the highest beam. Father Con-
rad was notified. snd he immediately dis
missed the congregation.
