WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT 1T.

Since 1890 the taxes in Marion county
have been increased S427, 766.SS, of which
S2SS. 979.06 was for local taxes. This Is
large increase, but when one gets a
sight at some of the expenditures of re-
cent years he will not be surprised.
There is Auditor Tageart's salary, which
has been increased from SIC. 5S7.9 80 four
years ago to S25.2O9.36 this year. The
expenditures for gravel roads and
bridges were increased from S36, SO
for the year which ended May 81, 1891,
to S61, S34.S7 during the year which
ended May 81, 1892. During last year
bridges were built which cost S23, S2S. 20,
but those who have been looking after
the matter cannot find advertisements
for bids. as the law requires. Make
complaint about lax and extravagant
methods of doing business, and the mas
tiers of the ring will ask: "What are
you going to do about it,"
The above is but sample. The ex-
penditures in nearly every branch of the
county's service have been increased,
duu BCiy iuCICaBCOs hclC 10 Gil
cheney in only one thing-the taxing OF
fees to be wrung out of the people in
taxes. In most others there is laxness
and waste, and where there is not there
is an increase of running expenses. Like
Tammany, the leaders of the machine
know that they cannot appeal. to tax
payers for the support of such wasteful-
ness and inefficiency, and they appeal to
prejudice, pander to vice, give immunity
to the lawless, and cheat through their
tools at the ballot boxes under the di-
rection of ex-felons. They now believe
that they are solid in this county. To-
morrow taxpayers can give their
"What are you going to do about it" an
answer which will break the courthouse
ring. The defeat of Taggart, Coy, Holt
g. Co. would be the best investment
that Marion county conld possibly make.

PRICK AND o,DoNNgIL.

A dispatch from Pittsburg. Pa, to the
4, says:
1t is stated here tonight on what must be
considered nnim peachable authority that
MIR. Henry G.. FricB. president of the Car
negie Iron and Steel Company, has ewelled
the election funds of the Democratic party
by contribution of $4,000 1t is not re-
garded as strange that MI. Frtck should
have given succor to the Democracy. In
the late Homestead trouble 1t was Demo-
cratic Governor who ordered out the troops.
The contest of the Carnegie company with
its lOcked-out union workmen certainly
would have been prolonged and might have
had different. outcome but for the pres
ence. at Homestead, of the military. Mr..
Tricks contribution to the Democratic
can paign fund is regarded here a. an act of
gratitude for services rendered by repre-
sentative of that party.
Yesterday the Journal published a
portion of letter written by Hugh
O'Donnell, one of the leaders of the
Amalgamated Association in Home
stead, to friend in New York city. in
which he said:

free trade, and il Sc had free trade to-mOr-

the day, in every mill In the land.
whether we wanted them or not, and our
fellow workingmen would be living ON the
same miserable plttance as the starving
lrishmnn and Englishman are struggling
with to-day. - The man who uses
the name of the Homestead workingman to
further the interests of the Democratic
party or TO defeat President Harrison is
the deadliest foe to American labor.
There has not bcen-a more emphatic
Endorsement of the protective tariff than
has this Representatives of organized

the grand jury had found indictments
against each of them, for fear OF losing
votes.
This is only one. case of a number in
which it is asserted that roughs who
have influential friends in the Demo-
cratic party are permitted to go un-
whipped of justice. 1t cannot be other
wise. The Taggart regime. like Tam
many in New York, depends upon the
lawless. dissolute and criminal element
for the several thousand votes neces-
sary to give itpower, in connection with
the votes of good citizens who support
their rule because it is labeled Demo
cratic. Tomorrow will be good day
to put man in the Office of prosecuting
attorney who will not give immunity to
DULLES and thugs.

DEPUTY MARsHALs FOUR YEARS AGO.

On the day before the presidential
election, in 1883, United States Marshal
Hawkins made a public boast that he
had not forgotten how General Harrison
kept his appointment hung up in the
Senate-that now was his chance to "get
event. and he proposed to do it. In
pursuance of this policy of revenge he
appointed an army of deputy marshals
all over the State. with Instructions to
harass and intimidate Republican vot-
ers. His appointments in this city in--
Guided a number of irresponsible men
and some VIGOROUSLY bad ones. One
was an ex-convict and another q train
wrecker. On election day they abused
their authority outrageously, intimidat-
ing and insulting voters, and making
arrests without cause. Among the we'll
known citizens arrested by them and
dragged before a Democratic United
States commissioner were Messrs. A. III.
Nordyke. L. G. Atkins, o. II. Hassel-
man, Harry S. New, DR.. G. /. Fletcher,
Brainard Rorison, and others. None of
these gentlemen had violated any law
or thought of doing so. Every one of
the arrests was an outrage, done for the
purpose of intimidating Republicans.
The Sentinel justified these acts. Two
days after the election it said editori-
ally: UNITED States Marshal Hawkins's
men only did their duty. and they did it
as a rule in very creditablo manner"
The Democratic organ Is in no position
to denounce the appointment of deputy
marshals for to-morrow's election. 1t is
estopped by the hearty approval it gave
four years ago to the acts of Marshal
Hawkins and the outrages done by his
deputies.
The Journal hopes the deputy mar
shals appointed for tO-morrow's cleo
ton will be discreet men. carefully in
structed as to their rights and duties
under the law, and that they will not in
the slightest degree overstep the bounds
of their authority or abuse it in any
manner. 1t would regret exceedingly
to have them make such record as was
made by the Democratic deputy mar
shals appointed four years ago.

WHY DO IT AT ALL7

A vote for Cleveland will be a vote of
censure on the administration of Presi-
dent Harrison. There is not man in
the State with intelligence enough to
have an opinion concerning public af-
fairs who does not know that Hairison's
administration has been one of the very
best the country ever had. 1t has been
SO good that Democratic speakers and
newspapers do not venture to attack or
criticise it. There is not an intelligent
man in Indiana who would stultify him.
self by openly and publicly censuring
it. Why then should he do so by q Sc
cret ballot?

it with clean piece of blotting paper.
Ifyou accidentally mutilate your ballot
or make blot or Distinguishing mark
on it other than the stamp, explain the
matter to the election board and get an
other ballot. The board has right to
know how the first ballot was mutilated
and must be satisfied that it was not
done Intentionally. Then they must
give the voter another ballot and he
must destroy the mutilated one in the
presence of tho board. This is the law.
No Republican should take any risk in
stamping his ballot. The only safe way
is to vote the straight ticket. which is
done by one stamp within the eagle
square. Then be sure there are no blots
on your ballot

WHY EOT CONTINUE 1T?

All good business men know the value
of advertising. 1t is the life of trade.
Nor are it's benefits confined to business
ventures alone. A county or a State
profits as much by advertising as mer-
chant does.
No person will deny that the election
OF General Harrison to the presidency
was a good advertisement for Indiana.
The State was never as widely or favor
ably known before as it has been during
the last four years. AS the advertise
ment has paid so we'll why not make an
other four years. contract

MR.. BYNUM CONVICTED OF LYING.

A short time ago Mr. Bynum delivered
a speech in this city in which he said
the laboringnian was no better off at So
a day than he was when he was making
81 day, his argument being that the
workingman spent all he got anyhow.
When this statement was repeated in
the Journal Mr.. Bynum denounced it
as forgery and said he never said any
thing of the kind.
We now propose to convict Mr.. By
mum of lying, and will do it out of his
own mouth. On the night of Nov. 2,
