Reform on me Fair Grounds.

W. hAAb
Last year the ISrELLIGEScER called at
tention to the carnival OF the wheel Of
fortune on the fair grounds. The asso
citation was assured that the sentiment
Of the community was against that kind
of thing, Notwithstanding the authori-
ties permitted it. The assurance gave
some offense. This year the wheels of
fortune are absent, but the crowds are
there. The fair has gained in the re-
spect of the public.
There is room for more reform. Much
Of it can be brought about by enforcing
the rules of the association. One Of
these rules torbids strong drink to be
carried across the track to the quarter
stretch. There was no enforcement Of
this rule yesterday. One of the spec
tacles was men crossing the track with
liquid supplies for prostitutes in car
riages who made loud display of them.
selves to the disgust of decent people
in their neighborhood. The officers
saw it and allowed it in spite Of protest.
The association's rule on this sub
ject is right. 1t may be supposed to
have been made because it is right and
was intended to be enforced. Unless it
is enforced hereafter the women of the
town and the men who like to be seen
in their company will be allowed to
have the quarter stretch to themselves,
Respectable men will not sandwich
their families in between carriage loads
of persons of this sort who take the
pans to advertise the sort OF persons
they are.
Ii the fair cannot live under reputa-
BILE conditions it would better die, and
the sooner the better.

The New orleans Investigation.


tits relief to know that the affair
in New Orleans between Mr.. Sullivan
and Mr.. Corbett, chiefly, it seems, be-
tween Mr.. Corbett, was in fact not a
prize fight but an Investigation.
Part of the time each was looking for
the others nose, Mr.. Corbett doing
most of the finding. Then the head
seemed to be the object OF the scientific
inquiry. Then some other portion Of
the anatomy. Presently We hear that
Mr.. Corbett lie doing his best to find
Mr.. sullivan'a famous stomach, Mr..
Sullivan using all his skill to throw
the inquiring mind off the scent.
Little by little Mr.. COrbett saw the
light breaking in the desired direction,
and with all the zeal of an enthusiastic
scientist followed up his lead until at
last he got both hands in Johns
stomach" Why Mr.. Corbett wished
to get his hands in Mr.. sullivan's
stomach, what natural history re-
searches he desired to make and did
make in those cavernous depths, the
local chronicler does not tell.
At all events the investigation was a
mere formality after Mr.. Corbett with
drew his hands from Mr.. sullivan's
stomach, aud amid the plaudits Of the
assembled thousands OF scientists he
concluded one of the most notable in
vestigations on record. The path of
scientific research is not always an easy
one, but the reward Of success is
$4,000 and the championship belt.

HIT ,EM AGAIN.

Another Democratic Labor Commlssloner
Kuifss HIa Party-fhIs Time Indiana
speaks.
Chicago Inter OCEAN.
The Chicago Herald, and every other
free trade paper that seeks to lessen the
height of Commissioner Peck's evil
dence in favor Of the tariff, is informed
that another Democratic official states
man. in another state, has spoken, and
that his evidence is in accord with that
OF Mr.. Peck.
Mr.. Peelle is chief Of the Indiana bu-
reau Of statistics, and has been chief at
any time during the last fifteen years,
when the Office was in the gift Of the
Democratic party. He is Democrat
OF the Democrats. A summary OF his
last report is thus made by the Indian-
apolis New, which is free trade news
paper:
Two facts are prominent IN Mr.. Peelle's re,
port. The average earnings OF wage workers, II
these conclusions are Trustworthy, are larger
than has generally been believed. In lndianap,
OILS the average yearly earnings are estimated
by Mr.. Peelle to be 500; In Evansville S3ii AND
evidence has heretofore indicated an average Of
annual'earnlngs smaller than here given,
So that in Indiana, as well as in New
York, the testimony OF Democratic
official is in proof OF en- increase Of
wages since the passage of the Mckinley
bill
1t will not pay the Herald to call Mr..
Peelle "a traitor" or anything OF that
sort. The people OF Indiana won't
have it that way. They know Mr..
Peelle to be an honest man and an
honest Democrat.
Neither will it pay to seek to break
his evidence by saying that it is based
upon the replies of manufacturers to
his inquiries, for il is baSed upon The tssti-
mony of vage.earTerS. We prefer that
our free-trade friend, the Indianapolis
MelGs, should state the case. 1t says:
Mr.. Pe,le made detailed inquiry CONCERNING
the cost OF living In thirty-six homes in Indian
Rpols. twenty In Evansville and fifteen In Terre
Haule. The onlyprncIple followed in making
selection was to choose the families whose sup
port depended on as many different occupations
rs possible. Many ot the common waSe-eafaing
employments are included.
Thus we find that stanch Democrat
Commissioner Peelle, OF Indiana-cor-
roborating the evidence OF that other
stanch Observation-Disclosures Peck,
OF New York. And we note that while
Peck reached his conclusions through
correspondence with capitalists, Mr..
Peelle arrived at his conclusions through
interviews with wage-earners. So that
we have the concurrent testimony OF
labor in Indiana and Of capttsA in New
York presented to us by Democratic
officials, and in each case the testimony
affirms an improved condition Of labor
since the passage of the Mckinley bill.

Did you notice the "tariff-taxed" out
last night in plug hats and resptendent
regalia, blowing in on red fire and
torches and brass music the hard-earned
dollars they need to keep themselves
and their "tax-burdeued" families from
starvation under the fraud Of Re-
publican "rObber tariif%
Wasn't it sad to think that for more
than thirty years-that is to say, since
the last Democratic tariff mot one of
them has been able to cover mis- naked
ness or to get a square meal?
Wasn't it pitiful to see this army of
the down-trodden shouting to keep
their courage up and trying to make
themselves think they may be happy
YETI
Why, instead Of playing the roIiicking
airs OF jubilation they should have been
chanting the dirciest kind Of dirge?
1t was a great free trade blunder.

oAS'r you hear the free traders say
ing to Commissioner Peck: You ought
to have your head cut of. A Demo-
cratic statistician who doesn't know
how to juggle figures, or who refuses to
do it when his party is in straitened
Giro umstances, is no Democrat and de-
serves to be bounced without benefit of
clergy. You have knocked your party
out before the first round was well on.
