My DEAR SIR have carefully read
"The Popular History of Indiana" and
have verified its data bv comparison with
Older and larger works. 1t is an excellent
abridgement of our state annals, elegant,
accurate, in style admirably adapted to
the character of the book. The table of
contents and list of illustrations make
very complete index, adding to its prac-
tical use for ready reference.

Pleasant contrast, isn't it, for those
smart republican politicians who thought
1t would be great scheme to increase the
local taxes and blame il to the new tax
law? The state school levy was not
changed when the new tax law was passed
for two reasons: o. No one could tell
how much the total appraisement would
be increased under the new law; ~ what
ever the increase might be it could easily
be offset by a decrease of local school
taxes. When the time for levying local
taxes came around the assessment had
been made and the local officials
knew exactly what to levy in or
der to raise the same amount
as in the preceding year. They were
warned not only by Chairman JEwETT, but
also by the democratic press. by the super
intendent of public instruction, and by
prominent citizens. and Taxpayers in
nearly every locality. What was the re-
suit? The democratic officials generally
reduced the levies so as to raise no more
money than formerly, unless there was
special need for it. The republican Of
ficials, with few exceptions, made no re-
auctions, and in most cases actually in
creased the levies. For this reason in
most democratic counties there is no in
crease of taxes unless local trustees, town
boards and school boards have increased
their levies. but in republican counties the
people are paying largely increased taxes.
The official returns from a few republican
counties will illustrate the situation:

THE esteemed Journal is deeply grieved
because local democratic officials reduced
local tax levies so as not to raise more
money than last year instead Of initiating
abe republican local officials and piling up
local taxes mountain high. II says this is
democratic conspiracy. OF course it is.
The democratic party has been conspiring
TO reduce the taxes Of the people and in
crease the taxes of corporations ever since
1t was in existence. That is what de-
mocracy means. On the other hand, the
republican party has always advocated

In all but one of these counties (Parke)
the local republican officials have in
creased the local taxes more than the en-
tire increase OF state taxes-some of them
twice, three times. and Union county
more than eight times as much. In
every one of these counties the increase
on railroads alone would have paid the in
crease OF state taxes, and there should not
have been one cent of increase on the peo-
pie. In every one of these counties the re-
publicans had full control. There are but
two possible explanations Tor their con-
duct One is that they wanted large
funds in the treasures to loan at interest,
or tor jobbery and corruption. The other
is that they did it for political purposes,
hoping to cast odium on the new tax law.
Take your choice.

ALEvEL-HEADED TALK.
Dir. Doran Says Minnesota Is fol

Dir. Doran Says Minnesota Is for
Cleveland, With No Second
Choice.
During the visit of Hon. NJ. Doran to
Chicago as member of the Democratic
national committee to make arrange
ments for the June convention, Times
reporter got the following interview
out of him:
michael Doran, national committee
man from Minnesota, said the delega-
ton from that state would be for Cieve-
land, with no second choice, no matter
how the New York delegation stood.
There are lots of Democrats in Mime
sota,' he SAID, who will vote for Cleve-
land whether he is nominated or not.
The Farmers Alliance party polled
$4,000 votes for their candidate for gov
ernor two years ago. They had strong
candidate, and made an active canvass.
do not think they will increase that
vote any this year: probably they will
not be as. strong. We are now making
a poll of the state. and will soon be able
to make very close estimates of the
strength of each party. From two
thirds to three-fourths of the Farmers
Alliance vote came from the Republi-
cans. If Cleveland is nominated, and
we can get the Democratic vote back
from the Alliance-and think we can
we can carry the state. There is ma
jority of 1900 against US. but with Cleve-
land we can overcome that. BOieS, of
Iowa, is talked of as one of the possible
candidates, of course, but | don't know
of any strong support he has. In fact
we are so earnest in our advocacy of
Cleveland that we haven't any second
choice. l think the sentiment in the
West is for Cleveland, no matter whether
he has single man In the New York
delegation or not. Of course, other can
didates may have following i'm Mime
sofa, but it is so well known that l am
an earnest advocate of Cleveland that
wouldn't hear much about it. don't
say that Minnesota is doubtful state,
but l believe with Cleveland and the
tariff issue we could carry it. l do not
think the silver question will cut any
figure i'll the campaign. l know that
most if not all our Democratic congress-
men from Minnesota are opposed to the
free coinage of silver, and the people
don't seem to take any particular inter-
est in the question: e"

the monstrous and terrible things tine

try, and no harm had come from them.
Sugar. as the result, was cheaper now
than 1t ever had been.
Regarding the sO-called evil effects of
the boards OF trade ana exchanges, he
asserted that, although thousands OF
persons were probably ruined every
year by speculation, that was ID sub
Stantial reason why those channels of
business should be interfered with by
congress. The farmers today would be
in miserable condition but for the eX-
istence of boards of trade and ex-
changes. The history of anti-stock
Jobbing acts seemed to prove, he con-
tinued, that they had never been effect
i've in preventing speculations in
stocks, and in almost every instance in
which they had been adopted after lin
gering for years on the books, they had
been finally repealed. 1t was perhaps
better to allow the evil to correct itself
than TO fill Up books with useless laws
G. w. Davis. or Wichita, Kan, argued
in favor of the bill and gave tabulated
results of investigations made by him
into the production and consumption of
farm products of the country, which, he
said, showed that the demand was
greater than the supply. He expressed
himself as opposed to both long and
short selling, as detrimental to trade.

THE ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.

The industrial convention in session
at st. Louis experienced a stormy
time during the three days ka.eiao-
scopic proceedings, and the good
which it accomplished is, up to date,
quite problematical. The GLOBE does
not encourage the tone of those jour
nails disposed to term the late inhar-
monious gathering at st. Louis con-
vention of freaks" or ''cranks" These
men and women are in earnest. 1t
should be taken into consideration that
the variegated platform adopted and
incongruous declaration of principles do
not represent the combined sentiment
of the convention. 1t is easily perceived
that they are adopted TO catch indi-
vidual strength by appealing in one Or
swo pianks at the most to individual
opinions. Like composite photograph,
the platform embraces shadows re-
flected from individual features widely
variant from each other. One element
believes in free coinage and diSbeiieyes
heartily in the subtreasury scheme.
Another element indorses a graduated
income tax. but is opposed to govern
OOilLIOi VI anu. tClC-
phone lines. Thus tho platform, as an
entirety, is adroitly framed to catch
and hold antagonistic elements by
the cohesive power of the fad
most popular with the distinct ele
ment subscribing to the whole.
That the platform adopted has stolen
considerable Democratic thunder is
plain to the most superficial reader.
More emphasis could have been appro-
priately laid upon the MCKINLEY tariff
taxa tax which daily and hourly is
robbing every delegate who sat in the
st. Louis convention. That the portion
devoted to revenue reform is the one
strong feature of their deliberations, is
understood by thinking men. But with
what wealth of fantastic fanfaronade
Is it surrounded. Strength is wasted
and ammunition expended in vain
attempt to corral in one aggregation of
ponderous phrases the reforms of a
century. Singleness of purpose is lost
sight of in trying to please the largest
number with glittering array of prom
Ised reforms. Herein the platform is
weakened, and for this reason the lead
ers of the Quixotic propaganda will
discover that they have been fighting
windmillS.

BURNED AT THE STAKE.

The burning of negro at the stake I'm

New York Advertiser.
The law legally administered is strong

nal evils, while the national morality
and its dignity before the world can
only be injured by the perpetuatiOn of

The breech-clouted savagery of the
Arkansas mob which burned man

vlyal of the barbarism of slavery. 1t

A COMPLIMENTARY DINNER.

A public dinner was given in New
York city last night which had been
under consideration for many months.
1t had been postponed several. times,
not because the subscribers or the hon.
ored guest found it difficult to attend,
but because it was impossible for long
vile tho find dining hall large enough
to accommodate all those who were anx-
iouS to participate IN the event. When
it finally did occur there was a very
large aud very enthusiastic gathering.
Men distinguished in every walk of life
bought tickets and graced the occasion
with their presence. The guest was
made the recipient of many compli-
mentary speeches. and he has the proud
consciousness of knowing this morning
how highly he is thought of by repre-
sentative body of the most cultured, the
richest, the most prominent, and the
best people of all parts of the country.
Of course, nothing unusual or extra
ordinary attaches to a mplimentary
banquet, even if it is held in the Madi-
son Square garden, and is carried
through amid surroundings of great
magniiicence ana the most pronounced
demonstrations of affection, gratitude
and respect. But the curious thing
about this dinner was that the guest
thus singled out for honor was a
young man not yet thirty-five years Of
age. He is rather prep0Ssessing in per-
sonal appearance, and has pleasant
manners. bat not more so than great
many others. He has never held pub
lie office or been candidate for one.
He is not rich, nor prominent i'll social
circles. He has written some for the
newspapers and magazines. but he has
no claim on the title of author. He
makes his living by working OH salary
for New England manufacturing eS-
Enlistment, and is simply an agreeable,
genial, modest fellow, the like of whom
we meet every day.
1t probably will not solve this riddle
to say that his name is WALTER CAMP,
because only one here and there in the
Northwest will be any the wiser for this
information. But all college men will
see through the whole thing when this
much is said. WALTER CAMP is grad
uate of Yale university of the class of
1880. and the creator of the American
game of football. He has done more
than any one else to raise the standard
of amateur athletics in America, and to
supply the public with new pleasure.
The annual matches at the New York
polo grounds, with their superb display.
of skill, discipline and strength, are the
fruit of his deviSing. And the Madison
Square garden was none too large to
hold his admirers and friends In conse-
quence. All this proves what an impor-
lance attaches to physical exercise i'll
this country today. and what promise
there is for the development of gener-
alton of American men as vigorous in
body as they are alert in brain.
