a denomination largely because he appoint
ed his son to West Point over other APP
plicants. 1t is the custom in most States
for Representatives to open such appoint
ments to a competitive examination OF all
young men living in the district who may
appear before a board named by the Rep
resentative. This is the proper manner to
dispose of such much sought for positions.
Under such a system the sons of the rich
and poor alike would have had an equal
chance to get into the Nations schools for
the army and navy. The best men who
have graduated in recent years have
reached these schools through such exam
nations. But this is not the Bynum meth
and then gets his own son into a position
for life if he can maintain himself In his
class.
Mr.. Bynum's excuse for appointing his
of the district the greater portion of the
time for ten years. and for that reason
may not have known that Democrats who
have stood by him for years have sons who
would rejoice to have so good a chance to
enter the Naval Academy as Mr.. Bynum
gave his son. He did not even think Of the
men who have served him. but selfshly
conferred the honor and ultimately the
valuable appointment upon his own son.
Not content with the honor and advantage
which the people of the Seventh district
have conferred upon him for g. decade, Mr..
Bynum ignores all the sons of the thou
sands who have voted and worked for him
and greedily confers upon his son the one
position Of great worth which he might
have opened to hundreds of young men in
this district. The appointment of his son
is a piece Of unparalleled selfshness and
an exhibition of cheek for a
man asking a reelection.

the circumstances, he could not decline the
Nomination of his party to lead a forlorn
hope without committing political suicide.
No matter what reason he might have as
signed for such action It would have been
rejected. His final acceptance shows that
he realized there was nothing else for him
to do. while the terms of his acceptance
show a manifest disposition to get all the
political glory possible out of the act.
The keynote of his speech Of acceptance is
found in the sentence, "I have everything
to lose and nothing to gain by the contest
to which you summon me-" and the entire
speech Is in this strain Of self-immolation.

price of sugar has been ~cheapened. If this
were really the case. If a high protective
duty cheapened the articles which have TO

The stupid i%mpudence Of the Sentinel in

posed many times, but 1t was never so
skillfully done in a dozen lines.

The Least He CouIa DO.

1t was a glorious wake, that of Dinny
Hooghlighan. Dinny had been identified at
the morgue as the .noater' found in the
river, or at least the foater had been iden-
titled as Dinny. The Caseys, the Kelleys,
the McManuses, all were there. In fact,
everybody was there with the exception
of the Grogans, the omission being due to
the fact that one of them had expressed
the opinion that 1T was the first time that
a Hooghlighan had ever met his death by
drowning. Indeed the Grogan had gone SO
far as to announce that his belief in the
adage, Thin thot is born to be hanged
will niver be dhrownded," had received a
shock from which 1t could hardly recover.
Old man Hooghlighan sat in the corner,
with a short pipe inserted into a counte-
nance in which pride in the completeness
Of the arrangements struggled with a nat
ural grief. He had just opened his mouth
at one corner to suggest that the bottle
be passed again, when in walked Dinny
in the flesh. The old mans jaw relaxed
and the pipe fell UNDECIDED to the floor. His
first thought was Of the complete triumph
of the hated Grogan, whose grinning face
he caught a glimpse of through the win

PLUNDERING THE PEOPLE AND
WRONGING MECHANICS.

BY persistent effort the Journal has been
able to bring to light a few of the corrupt
transactions Of the County Commissioners.
They nave awarded the building of the
First-street bridge to a company which
pays no taxes and employs no labor in Ma
rion county for $1,000 more than the bid of
the entirely reputable home competitor-the
Brown-K etcham company. The same COM
missioners paid the same foreign bridge
building company s6O,OOO for the Kentucky
avenue bridge. which the Brown-Ketcham
company would have eagerly accepted at
$40. coo. These are amazing statements, but
they are facts.
For whose benefit, in two bridge con-
tracts, have the taxpayers of Marion coun-
ty been robbed Of s23. 200? No one will tell;
but the fact remains that they have been
robbed of that sum- Nor are the taxpayers
the only ones who are wronged; the iron
workers and other mechanics are both
wronged and insulted. They are wronged
in these times of limited employment when
the employment In sixty thousand dollars
worth of bridge building is taken away
from them to be given to competitors who
have no special claims upon Marion coun-
ty. They are insulted because every time
a job which they can do is taken from
them and given to competitors at a dis
lance proclamation is made that Indian
apolis iron workers are inferior workmen.
These are but two samples of the cor
ruption with which the administration of
the present Board of Commissioners reeks.
Not a dozen items of expenditure can be
found in a lump in which the most of
them are not tainted with favoritism and
jobbery of some sort. or them 1t should
be said. Turn the rascals out"

election occurring under it was in 1892,

All the ID :tions this year under the same
law have resulted largely in favor of the

The county of Mecklenburg. North Caro-
lima, which, by the way, claims to have
adopted a declaration of independence
some time before the famous declaration
was adopted at Philadelphia, comes to the
front with a new demonstration of the value
of good roaos. Through the efforts of some
enterprising citizens a local good roads
movement was organized, and the result
is that forty miles Of macadamized roads
have been completed in the county. AT
first the farmers were opposed to the move
ment on account of the expense ii would
involve, but now they are enthusiastically
in favor Of it. Some of the benefits derived
from the improved roads were stated by a
speaker at a recent public meeting. The So
cial isolation OF country life, he said, has
beer greatly decreased. The farmers keep
better horses and better vehicles. -Four
bales of cotton can be hauled to market
to haul one bale" 1t cost more to haul
firewood over the old mud roads than the
wood was worth in the market. 1.-The good
roads," said the speaker, enable the farm
ers to market a great quantity Of fruit and
vegetables which formerly went to waste.
This has encouraged diversified farming. and
the farmers are fully conscious of the ad-
vantages of good roads" There are many
counties in Northern States. including In
diana, that might profit by this experience.

Indiana Baptists.

The Indiana Baptist State convention.
which begins Its sixty-second annual ses-
sion with the First Baptist Church of La
fayette to-day. is composed Of the pas
tors, life Members and the delegates from
more than five hundred churches in this
State. These churches have a membership
of $3.50 persons. In the early history of
the State the members were mostly per-
sons coming from Kentucky, Tennessee and
the Carolinas, but later many persons came
from Ohio and the New England States to
settle middle and northern Indiana. and
a few from New York State. Also, in the
earlier days, the membership was largely
in the rural districts and the smaller viii
lagos, but during the last fifteen years there
has been a rapid growth in the towns and
larger cities. especially in the rapidly
growing cities CT the gas belt. The prop
erty owned by these people is about one
third reported, and the aggregate value Of
that which they report is s1,315. 013. While
Baptists generally are not considered a
wealthy class of people. they are usually
regarded as quite liberal. Last year they
reported more than $1,000 contributed from
this State alone, for missions, most of which
was for the spread of the gospel outside
of their W State. n they contributed
ABOUT SO,UO Tor educational work WITHIN
the State, with some small amounts outside.
The total amount contributed by the little
more than $4,000 members was almost $780,
GOO for the spread of the gospel. They make
no pretensions to any great enterprises, but
are gradually pushing themselves to the
front in evangelizing the State. The meet
ing OF this convention is for the purpose of
discussing the ways n means of reaching
the largest possible number of people and
arousing a greater interest in this work
among their own members. The attendance
at these annual meetings usually runs from
400 to 800, SO that only the larger churches
in the State have the courage to attempi
the entertainment of such a body. The
church at Lafayette is one Of the strong
est, and has long stood in the front rank
for enterprise and liberality, and will, no
doubt, do itself justice in caring for this
large body of Christian workers.
