AFTER THE CONVENTION.

In contest involving such keen rivalries
as that Of the Marion county Republican
convention it could not be expected that
any man who took an interest in the out
come will claim that he is absolutely salts
fed There are five times as many defeated
those and their personal friends would have
had things differently. 1t is so with every
convention Of live party with success in
the future. All those who contended did so
with the hope that they would be nomi-
mated. but disappointment had to come to
as many men as it has come TO. no matter
who was nominated. But the mass of
voters are looking to the ticket nominated,
and what are they saying? Simply that it
is frst-class ticket, which they can most
cheerfully support. They, that is, the Re-
publicans. are saying that every name on
that ticket represents man of good char
acter. OF good repute and of good ability.
Most of them are men who, while they
have been active in party affairs, have in
the past been workers rather than candi-
dates, They all received and commanded
support because they were entitled to It.
No Republican speaker paper will be
compelled to. enter into the withdrawing
business for any Of the names on the ticket
AS the campaign goes on some of the
didates may be assailed, because that is the
tactics of the opposition; but the voters
who have lived years in Indianapolis, who
know Harry Smith, William Schmidt,
Joyce, Shilling, Womack and the others on
the ticket know that they are good men for
whom they can safely vote.
In view of this fact. the Journal congrat-
ulates the Republicans of Marion county on
the excellent work of the convention. At
no time was it a sedate body, but at no
time did It forget it's duty. It's proceedings
were characterized with fairness, as were
the primaries which selected the delegates
who composed the convention. The result
Of it's fifteen hours session is ticket for
which not only every Republican can vote,
but every citizen who believes that
change in the management of the affairs of
>the county is demanded to insure honest,
economical and efficient administration.

THE CRIMINAL COURT SCANDALS.


The Criminal Court and all the officers
connected with 1T have become notorious
for their inefficiency and laxity 1t is a
place to which certain classes of law
vioators fly for refuge. Justice and that
dignity which should be found in courts
cannot be found there. Even its grand jury
secrets are revealed to those who are in
terested in gambling and general law
breaking. Last week, for instance. when
the cases of alleged gamblers were before
the grand jury. a list of the witnesses fell
into the hands of Simeon Coy and was
used by him to punish the person who was
suspected or known to have furnished the
prosecuting officer the names of the wit
nesses. That is under the Cox-Holtzman
regime, the grand jury is not what the
law contemDlates-a tribunal where the
charge against persons can be secretly con-
sidered to be prosecuted if there is APP
parent cause. or dropped if there is not.
In the case of the alleged gamblers. Coy
appeared to have had list of the wit
nesses, who are presumed by the law ere
ating the grand jury to be protected from
publicity. Nevertheless. this list of wit
nesses falls into the hands of one of the
fraternity, and they are frightened and
prevented from testifying as they had be-
fore the grand jury. Thus the grand jury,
by some of it's members or officers, is used
to defeat the ends of justice. All the pro-
ceedings of the court and the prosecution
tend to release lawbreakers and embolden
the purveyors of vice and crime. When
has a man charged with keeping a gam
bling house or saloon in defiance of law
been punished? Last week a case against
a pool room. in which the evidence would
have been ample to convict, was lost
through the seeming indifference, to call
1t no worse name, of the prosecutors as
sistant. No one expects conviction, and
the official side of the Criminal Court are
believed to be pandering to the lawbreak-
ing element in the expectation that re-
election can thereby be secured. Was not
'AS ANS"On u AoSI ian SuihCiShI W ledCH
the officers of the Criminal Court that the
support Of the lawbreaking element means
defeat? 90
1t is not pleasant to speak of these
things. but when such scandalous reports
as that which gives the men who are un-
der the consideration of the grand jury
lists of the witnesses, and when men of
that character are permitted to prowl about
grand-jury rooms. it becomes a duty to

The Collapse of Gresham.

good philosophy as well as good Scripture.
Secretary Gresham posed for many years
as one of the able men of the Nation, but,
being candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for President in 1888, talked of in
1892 and accepting the State portfolio I'M
der Cleveland, has disclosed the Fact that
ambition has been his ruling idea all the
time. But his standing as a JurlSt was as
vet unassailed and supposed TO be eminent
and reputable. The American people have
remarkable respect for the judicial office,
and a man can be a judge and escape crit
icism with almost impunity and even
Justice of the peace becomes a sort of sa-
cred Joss among his fellows. Well, what
has all this TO do with Gresham? Nothing
only that the Supreme Court OF the United
States in one day, reversed two Of Judge
Gresham's decisions. Altogether, these make
eight of his decisions reversed in one term,
and, what is more singular, not one OF his
decisions appealed to the Supreme Court
so far has been affirmed-every one re-
yersed. And such promises to be the case
with his acts as Secretary of State-the
people will reverse them as fast as they
get to them. as they have done in the Sand
witch Islands business. Some people don't
know when they are We'll off. Gresham is
a gentleman of very pleasant address and

has His political character is gone, and
now the Supreme Court is playing havoc

NO GENERAL IMPROVEMENT.

The general Improvement of business
will not come until more of the labor which
is now idle is employed. Those who were
so sure that business would generally re-
vive with the repeal of the Sherman pur-
chase act did not realize that stopping of
the purchase of silver would not start fac
tories and give employment to the idle.
All that it did was just what protectionists
expected, namely. allay the fright of the
hundreds of thousands who drew their
money out Of the banks and out of circula-
ton in July The same men predicted that
the defeat of the seigniorage bill would
v1ve business. All that it did was TO
strengthen confidence in the money market.
Like the repeal of the Sherman act, the
defeat of BANDS bill could not dispel the
fears which the purpose of the Cleveland
party to pass the Wilson bill or some like
measure had aroused. Those people who
are looking for good times. as if they were
to come by some chance. are sure TO be
disappointed. Trade will revive a little
with the season. but so long as so many
people are unemployed and so many
more are working for reduced wages the
volume OF trade will not reach the limit
OF 1892. for the all-suficient cause that the
people are not earning the money with
which to purchase. Therefore the times
of 1891 and 1892 cannot be expected until

Justice has been done in the Pollard

cinnau Tribune.
The verdict of $4,000 damages in the
Notwithstanding case was, we think,
more than the general public expected, al
though not more than was just and fair
under the circumstances.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat
1t remains for Kentucky to follow the
jury's verdict of guilty" and send an
other man to Congress in Breckinridge's
place. Even Kentucky cannot afford to
'yindicate" Breckinridge by a reelection.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Has the trial done harm or good? Good
it must be. The rules of decency will be
drawn closer. The demand for social puri-
ty will be more imperative. The moral
sense of the whole Nation will be sharp
ened. The case has it's usefulness.-St.
Louis Republic.
Thompson and Butterworth have adj
dressed a jury of the District of Column
bia as though it were an assemblage of
yahoos, and in so addressing it they have
America. They have their answer.-Chica-
go Inter Ocean.
The verdict probably indicates the jury's
disapproval of Colonel Breckinridge's con-
duct and of Mr.. Thompson's cynical speech
more than it does their sympathy with
Miss Pollard or the value they put on a
contract of marriage between persons in
such relations to each other aS the plaintiff
and defendant sustained.-Louisville Com
mercial
A jury has found Colonel Breckenridge
guilty. Colonel Breckenridge is not likely
to succeed in any appeal from the verdict
and Miss Pollard is not likely to succeed
in obtaining its payment, for the famous
penalty which Colonel Breckenridge. will
indeed pay is older than any criminal code,
and from this penalty there can be no
escape-New York Press.
The verdict in the Breckenridge case will
undoubtedly meet general approval. The
verdict will be applauded, not because it
Awards Miss Pollard $1,000 but because
it Furnishes to that extent in dollars and
cents. and TO a vastly greater extent in
public condemnation, the baseness and hy-
pocrisy of breckenridge and the brazen ef-
frontery with which he stood up and at
tempted to justify his conduct.-New York
Tribune.
The jury gives Miss Pollard a verdict and
$4,000 damages. 1t is a righteous verdict
and a very just one. 1t shows that the
testimony made the same impression upon
the jury that it made upon the minds Of
all just men and women everywhere. IL is
to be hoped that Mr.. Breckenridge will ac-
ceDt the verdict as the judgment his cOun-
and retire himself at once and permanent

A STEP BACKWARD.
A Movement to Increase Postage
Rates on a Class of Periodicals.

Philadelphia Record.
The amendment to the postoffice appro-
priation bill adopted in committee of the
whole on Tuesday last at the suggestion
of the Postoffice Department to provide
that periodical publications issued by sub
scription and published in parts shall here
after be caSSed as third-class matter, in
stead of enjoying, as at present, the adj
vantage of pound rates as Second-claSs
matter, is q hurtful step backward. If this
amendment should be adopted finally 1t
would practically destroy a new industry.
Publishing houses have awaited themselves
of cheap rates of postage to issue Iii
braries'' and serial books, and have Gre
ated demand for good literature in such
cheap form as to make it universally ac-
cessible. Good books by standard authors
have been made as cheap trashy liter
allure. and are accessible wherever there
is a postoffice. This is a privilege the peo-
pie will not willingly forego. There would
be no fairness to publishers who have
built up special business, and who have
made heavy investments based on a cheap
postage rate, in change which would be
equivalent to a practical denial of postal
accommodation. To throw these serials and
cheap books out of the mails would be OF
advantage to express companies, and pos
Sibly ITO the vendors of costly bound books
but it would hurt nearly everyone else, and
be a distinctly retrograde movement There
should be no halt in the movement toward
cheap postage.

the Men of His Time
!, in Harper'S Weekly.

roster Coates, in Harper'S Weekly.
When last l saw Mr.. Field l asked him
VINO impressed him as the greatest man of
his time. He at once replied Lincoln"
Then he went on: Lincoln was the most
sided man think l ever met. Webster.
Clay, Calhoun and others were great men
In their way, but Lincoln was great in a
multitude OF ways. There seemed hidden
springs OF greatness in this man that would
spring forth in the most unexpected way
and even the men about him were at a
loss to account for the order of the mans
genius"
Mr.. Field smiled when Horace Greeley's
name was mentioned. He was a very
great man in some ways" said Mr.. Field,
and very weak one in others. He was
almost as many-sded as Lincoln himself
and was a wonderful combination of good
ness and weakness. He was my friend
ing TO nominate Lincoln, but his own nomi-
nation in 1872 struck me the grotesque
ending of movement that promised much.
AS President he would have been used by
selfish men for their own ends
Here Mr.. Field took up General Grant.
II knew Mr.. Grant WE'LL he said, though
not over-intimately. For Grant the soldier
l had the highest admiration and watched
his career with appreciative interest. He
was a great general but always held
that he was unsuited for the office of Pres
ident, since his education and training
were not such to fit him for the Office
under the trying conditions that then ex-
listed. 1t afterward transpired that L was
