EITHER the Supreme Court of Indiana
have made a curious decision or the dis
patches have garbled their wisdom and
equity. The dispatch says the court
decided unconstitutional the Appor-
tionment act passed by the Democratic
Legislature two years ago, under the
provisions Of which the Legislature
which meets next month was chosen
The court also finds that there is de
facto Legislature elected, qualified TO en-
act law which may take the place of
the law set aside" The effect Of this is
to endorse as legal an act passed by an
Illegal body. That may be a very proper
sort Of decision for judge and a lawyer
but it seems curious Of course, to those
plain people who reason logically. If the
Apportionment act is Illegal the fact Of
their election from those illegal districts
cannot make those illegal legislators
elected from them legal If that were so
then the court decides that after wrong
is done IL is better TO leave IL alone till
those interested in the wrong shall see
fit to correct it,

The designations of the postmasters
in many Of the large cities have been
sent TO Washington. Field. of Philadel
phia, has been induced to extend the
time Of his service, but Mr.. Van Cott, OF
New York, and Mr. Sexton, Of Chicago,
have already announced that they have
made business connections to be entered
into after March 4, the terms of these
officials expiring early in April. Mr..
Hart, Of Boston, and Mr. Zumstein Of
Cincinnati, however, have two
years to serve, yet they have
already announced that they
also have made other arrangements.
There win be about sixty vacancies in
the ranks Of first-class postmasters when
the Senate convenes in extra session on
March A, or at least the terms Of that
number of postmasters will then have
expired. We have not been notified that
our friend Stewart has sent in his resig-

WITHOUT LEADERS WITHOUT HOPE.

WITHOUT LEADERS WITHOUT HOPE.
One Of the many evidences of the de-
cadence of the Republican party is the
apathy with which the foremost men are
received everywhere. Several years ago,
when he was regarded as the most elo-
quent speaker and the most brilliant
phrase maker in the Republican party,
Senator ingalls, was able to draw crowded
houses TO a lecture or political speech.
He was one Of the pets of the dominant
party-the party Of great moral ideas.
He became the bitter enemy Of Mr.
Cleveland and by telling cruel and
heartless, as well ''as a scandalous and vul-
gar story about Mr. Cleveland's relations
with his wife and by delivering a speech
in the Senate full of scathing invective,
against the man whom everybody else
recognizes as honest, he lost caste and
became as he describes himself "a states
man out of job" He is out Of a job
still but he is not a statesman. He is
simply phrase-maker and an invective
hurler. But he got out Of the way of the
avalanche.
Senator ingalls, was to speak at West
Chester on Saturday night, but the pros
poets for an audience were so doubtful
that he was stopped by telegraph in
Philadelphia There were not enough
tickets sold to pay for the lights While
waiting in Philadelphia he had an oppor-
tunity to say:
The Republican party is now at that
stage in its history where it is without
leaders and without hope, and must
start anew and build itself up. It gave
no evidence in the past campaign that
there was a single politician in its ranks
who understood the pure business Of
modern politics. Not one.
The Republican party did have lead
ers, but they were disabled or pushed
aside in the mad rush of the pension in
vaders, the tariff robbers and the Force
bill lstatesman, who expected to rule
the county by a mixed minority vote of
old soldiers, tariff benefciaries and
negroes.
Blaine advised against the tariff and
the Force bills Sherman advised against
the increase in tariff taxation and the
promotion Of trusts; Edmunds secured
the maple sugar bounty, and with a super
cillious scorn at those who yielded to such
a fraud, got out. Nobody stayed in and
swallowed the whole dose but Harrison
and Mckinley. They set the pace and
furnished the arguments of the cam.
paign. All other prominent men in the
party either sought Offices for themselves
or had some direct pecuniary interests in
the success Of the Republican campaign.
Hence Mr.. Ingalls, can safely speak out
from the inner temple, as one who has
been there, and as one of the leaders
whose political business is gone; saying,
the Republican party is without leaders
and without hope"
He, as the statesman from the big
majority State Of bloody Kansas. is
one Of the hopeless leaders Of the party
without hope. He knows and feels
whereof he speaks. He could not get an
audience in West Chester.

LEBANON MILLS AGAIN
Big Blaze at an Early
Hour This Morning.
A FIREMAN'S COLD BATH
Over Fifty Working People Thrown
Out Of Employment.

This morning at 1905 an alarm was
rung In from Box 81 calling the depart
ment to the works OF the Pawtucket
Dyeing and Bleaching Company located at
Lebanon on tho westerly side OF the Ten
Mile river, close to the Massac husetts
line.
The blaze was discovered at IL 80 by
George Cobb, who is the night watchman,
in the drying room. lie Immediately
aroused the neighbors and sent in an
alarm.
With the assistance OF the men who re-
sponded to his call for help Mr.. Cobb at
tached a line of hose to the nearest hydrant
and did the best he could to keep the
flames under control until the department
arrived.
1t was useless, however, and when the
engines arrived after the long run the
buildings were sheet of flame.
Streams were Immediately put on and
team sent back for No. 2 steamer.
When 1t arrived II was put into service,
but the flames had done their work and
the structure was In ruins. Michael
Dillon, hoseman Of Hose Company No. 4,
was directing a stream on the building
when some heavy timbers fell from the
second story, striking him on the head
and knocking him from the wall where
he was standing, fifteen into the river.
He was pulled out thoroughly drenched,
his head badly bruised, but not seriously
injured.
The buildings were OF wood, one story
in height and covered large area.
They were erected about four years ago
on the site of the old Lebanon mills which
were also destroyed by fire.
The Pawtucket Dyeing and Bleaching
company is practically the firm OF Blod-
gett q Orswell, who do yarn business
on Bayley street All the bleaching and
dyeing OF their own yarns was done there
and considerable outside work.
About fifty hands were employed in the
works. No estimate OF the damage to the
stock can be obtained, but the the loss on
the buildings will probably foot up to
$4,000.
II Is covered by insurance.
The buildings are owned by Edward
Thayer, who has been attending the Nat
tional Convention at Minneapolis, and
has not yet arrived home.

Horseshoes without Nails.

The tests that have been made 10y a

form Of nailless horseshoes have been 80
successful that the company has decided
to employ this shoe exclusively in tho
future. The new shoe is made Of Bes-
semer steel, and in appearance is similar
to the ordinary iron shoe, except that it
has a bent lever that attaches itself half
way up the rear Of the hoof without in
any way COMPRISING IL.
A clamp incloses the hoof, parting tho
two heels Of the shoe, and Is supported
on the top Of the lever, which wholly
sustains 1t, and thereby prevents com

shoe Is also fitted with three small in
terror clamps, which penetrate tho horn
Of tho hoof and prevent displacement Of

with success. II Is considered by many
