TAGGART's INSULT TO VETERANS.

The Democratic managers in this
county-Taggart. Coy and Wilson-have
invited two Kentucky Democrats to ad-
dress the party in this city tomorrow
night Representative Breckenridge
and Henry Watterson. Mr.. Breckin-
ridge is an estimable gentleman who
went into the rebellion without his State.
and in Congress habitually votes against
all measures to extend the benefits of
the pension system. Mr.. Watterson is
one of the few men of the Democratic
party who has the courage of his con-
victions. Inspired by this courage Mr..
Watterson. in his newspaper, the Louis
vile Courier Journal, of Aug. II, 1892,
printed the following assault upon the
pension system as a doubl g. loaded edi-
torial:
1t is job from one end to the other. the
more Ubiquitous because, whilst levylng
tribute upon the masses for the benefit of
the classes it Is supplemented by a stead
lly-increasing pension list. footing the
treasury to the tune of l5O.000,00O a year.
the coffee coolers and camp-followers and
other red-nosed patriots that loaf about
the doggeries and brothels of the country,
swearing one for another, toward an ulti-
mate agrarianism as corrupt and corrupt
ing as ever existed in the world.
The Democratic party can gain nothing
by making wry faces and throwing harm
less tufts of grass at this Republican rob-
Der tariff and this Republican robber PEN
sion list. 1t has everything TO gain by the
integrity of it's convictions and the courage
thereof. The administration of Grover
Cleveland stands aa monument of un-
tagging devotion Go the interests of the
people and implacable hostility TO the as
saults of the hooters pensioners.
His great antl-pensi0n message is like unto
it, q second chapter in the Democratic Book
of Reform. The hope of the country is the
end of tariff robbery. The hope of the
treasury is the end of pension robbery.
The people are looking to Democracy for
relief, first from tariff robbery. second from
pension robbery.
And yet these Democratic managers
who have invited Mr.. Watterson here to
speak for the Democracy are urging the
men whom he stigmatized as "red- nosed
patriots, camp-followers and perjurers'
to vote the Democratic ticket and to
bow down to the Democracy of which
they invite Mr.. Watterson to be the
Spokesman,

The story industriously eli

The story industriously cir
culated by Democratic papers
during the last few days that
manager Frick, of the Home
stead works, had contributed
a large sum to the Republican
campaign fund is without a
particle of truth. 1t is a lie
out of whole cloth. Mr..
Frick Is a Democrat, and, of
course, has not contributed a
cent to the Republican cause.
We do not know whether he
has contributed to the Demo
cratic campaign fund or not,
nor do we know that he takes
any interest in politics. The
statement that he had made a
contribution to the Repub-
lean campaign fund is an i'm
pudent falsehood.

FROM A BUSINESS POINT OF VIEW.

AS a rule, business men and men Of
finance are averse to taking strong p0-
litical positions. They feel that bust
ness and politics do not mix well. This
year. however, there are many notable
exceptions. A great number of bust
ness men have declared in favor of
maintaining present conditions. Mr..
Scherer, manager of the New York
Clearinghouse, says: Among the con-
servative financiers of New York /
think the general sentiment is that it
would be wise. from business point of
view, to continue the present admins
trarion for another term. That is the
impression get from the intercourse l
have had with them"

UNCLE SAM HAS A LONG ARM.

The United States does not have to
ask any State for permission to make
regulations for the election of members
of Congress, nor does it have to ask the
consent of the Democratic party to en-
force such regulations. The act of Con-
gress regulating such elections is para
mount to any and all State laws. The
rights and duties of supervisors are pre-
scribed by national law. and no State
law can add To or detract therefrom.
And, by the same token, it would be

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE FORCE BILL.
There is no force bill.

In September and October, 1891, when
the Journal was showing from the as
SCISSORS books that the valuations of
properties in different parts OF the city
had been increased over the previous
year, and that the taxes thereon would
be greatly increased, the Sentinel, pend
ing the reelection of Mayor Sullivan.
printed the following in black type,
day after day, at the head of it's editorial
column:
The tax bills of thousands of the small
property owners will be smaller next year
than this.
The taxpayers of Marion county now
know, to their sorrow, that what the
Journal stated at the time was the truth;
and it seems impossible that the Senti-
mel should have been as ignorant about
the matter az it protested. At any rate.
it shows that it cannot be relied upon

BETTER CLING TO THE REALITY.

There is an instructive fable of dog
who lost substantial bone by trying to
seize its shadow in the water. He re-
linquished areality for barren ideality.
Before voting for the party which ad-
vocates free trade Americans should ask
themselves if it would be wise to risk
the loss of good markets at home for
the possible possession of imaginary
markets abroad,

made. Next Tuesday. either the en-
ployes in the British cotton factories
will submit to the reduction or strike.
The American cotton-spinners, whose
wages have been advanced per cent.
were paid from top to bottom 40 per
cent. more wages than the English
cotton-s pinners received before their
wages were reduced per cent.
Wage-earners who vote next Tuesday
will do we'll to consider such facts as
these and ask themselves if they can
afford to change a policy which is in
creasing wages for one under which
wages are falling.

pAvoR1Tp pEMocRAT1c TRICK.

The attempt to injure the Republican
party by asserting that Manager Prick
has made large contribution to its
campaign fund is on par with the at
tempt to unload Simeon Coy on the Re-
publican party two years ago. When
the Democratic leaders have exhausted
every other resource they try to render
the Republican party odious by giving
out that some of their own people have
joined it. 1t is favorite trick of the
Democracy.

opportunity next Tuesday to deal q blow.

hornism.
The above. from the Sentinel of Oct.
z. 1891, was a false prediction, as the
election of Mr.. Sullivan, under the di-
rection of Chairman Taggart, caused
the elevation of Coy and of Coyism to
the most potential position in the Dem
ocratic control. But on next Tuesday
the voters of Indianapolis will have an
opportunity to deal a blow at Taggart-
Ism, Coyism and Holtism combined.

MR. TAGGART'S BIG PULL,

To-day and Monday will be the last

Her Car Breaks Loose From the Train and

los ANGELES Dec. 18.-The passengers on
the Southern Pacific train from San Fran
cisco, due here this afternoon at two o. o'clock,
but which did not arrive until six, just
missed being concerned in repetition Of
the great Tehachapi wreck horror of a
dozen years ago. From passenger it was
learned that the train had nearly reached
the top of the Tehachapi grade when, n
rounding a curve four of the PullmHn
sleepsrs broke loose from the train and be-
gan to move slowly down the grade. For
tunately the air brakes worked all right,
and the cars were brought to standstill
before they had gone very far. The coup
lings had broken and the safety chains
had not held. When the train
was finally made up again, freight
train, which was behind it,,
was not far away. The passenger train
had gone but short distance when the
Wagner car broke loose, on which wers

pal members of the company. and was soon
wildly racing down the steep mountain
side. Nearly all the inmates of the car
we've in their berths asleep at the time, but
they were soon awakened, and vainly tried
to stop the car. In moment the wild pal
ace car crashed into the freight engine.
The rear end of the car was smashed, and
there was q general crash OF glass and
crockery. Miss Morris WAS thrown out Of
her bed against the drawer of locker and
her light knee was badly splained.
