1t is hardly probable that the efforts of
the Journal to smirch the Hon. W. D.
Bynum by mere billlngsgate will have
any more effect this year than it has had
in past years. II it could bring forward
any accusation against him it might do
some harm, but its assaults are nothing
but abuse-nothing but the windy da-
tribes that take the place Of argument
with certain classes Of people. For ten
years Mr.. Bynum has lived in the fiercest
light of political criticism. There IS not
an act of his that could be considered
in any sense deserving Of rebuke that
has not been brought forward against
him, and when ventilated. and garbled
and distorted to the utmost it has fallen
harmless to the ground, because there
was nothing in it. And each time the
people of this district have triumphantly
returned him to congress to represent
their interests.
In congress he has been an honor 10
the district. By his own ability and force
of character he has made himself man
Of national reputation, and he has been
so recognized by his colleagues. His abil-
ity as an orator is conceded on all sides.
and it is we'll known to every one who
follows the course Of congress that he
has been put forward by his party to
speak on all the more important issues
that have been before that body. His
ability in council is equally conceded. His
present position on the ways and means
committee and his selection as COM
piler Of the democratic campaign book
Of this year are sufficient evidence Of
that Even the most unobservant must
realize that GGr. Bynum stands high in
the ranks of his party in a national way
and this point he has reached by his own
record. for congress is a place where
every tub stands on its own bottom, and
there are collected there the best tubs
that the country can furnish. We think
this district appreciates these facts. 1t
has shown this by repeated elections Of
Mr.. Bynum.
Mr. Bynums standing is now a thing
Of importance to this district. A new
federal building is needed in this city.
Obtaining it is necessarily a long and
tedious affair. Mr.. Bynum has been in
charge of it thus far and has done much
to advance it to satisfactory conclu-
sion. His present position on the ways
and means Ammittee ar his influence
with his colleagues will ~ Of great serv-
ice in pressing the claims Of this city for
a new building. Certainly no new and
inexperienced man could possibly hope
to attain position of similar influence
in less than half a dozen years of service
in congress. 1t would be folly on the part
Of those who are DESTROYS Of securing this
advantage-or more properly this act of
justice-for this city to turn to new
man at this stage of the proceedings.

funny thing 1t may properly be classed
as a mirth-provoller. Even so solemn

reasonably be moved to laughter by it.
And the funniest thing about it is that
there is not a word Of truth in Mr.. Cum

cratic orators are not saying anything Of
the kind. 1t is just like the story that
they promised 1925 wheat" in 1892 1t is

And that is the fact. As Mr.. CumbaclI
would say, THAT is the Gods truth of

Cumback nor any other man can deny
it. And so they try to laugh it away.
but they cannot. The simple truth is
that the Mckinley bill did not provide for
free sugar of any kind that the people
use. 1t put tax on all refined sugar that
enabled the trust to keep out foreign
competitors and TO charge the people
more for their sugar than they do now.
That is why the republicans are not
students of markets this year. Markets
nave become too complicated for them.
They want something easier.

AnLAI TALKS SENSE.

The interview with president
Stevenson. published in our columns this
morning, is wholesome and cheering
contribution TO the campaign. Mr.. Stew
enson has been over the western coun-
try pretty thoroughly in the past few
weeks and his judgment of The situation
ought to be pretty good. He thinks the
democrats viii carry Illinois and elect
aGacVeagn 70 the senate. If they do 1t
viii be victory that viii gladden. every
democratic heart from Maine to Oregon.
1t will be observed that Mr.. Stevenson
bases his view on the intelligence Of the
people as we'll as on his observation Of
public sentiment. Every material cir
cumstance favors democratic victory and
the party is on the right side OF every
question that IS before the people. BUSH
ness is improving rapidly everywhere
and the people can see for themselves
that the tariff .aw, which republicans
pretend caused the panic. is the very
thing that Is lifting the country out of it.
He puts Mr.. Harrlson's finalclering in
"a very Gear light. Everybody remem-
pers that in 1883 the great question was

A reader wants to know the cause Of
the support of Charles J.. Henry by the
giass-blowers of this district. The g.ass-
bowers Of this district are not support
ing Charles L. Henry. It is reported,
however, that a large number Of the win
dow-glass-blowers have joined Henry
clubs. and say that they will support
him. The reason Of that is not that they
approve of Henry's labor record, but
that they are angry at Mr.. Bynum.
Nearly all OF the window-g lass-b.owers
are foreigners. protectionists and repub-
licans. They have the idea that protec-
ton makes wages. and last year num-
Der Of them petltioned Mr. Bynum to
vote and work against any reduction Of
the tariff on window glass. To this Mr.
Bynum at once replied:

Ind:
Dear Sirs-I am in receipt of yours Of

vent a reduction of the tariff on window
g.ass. After five successive campaigns.

lieve that there is an intelligent voter in

snail not at this time undertake TO dem

what to DO with the surplus. Both great
politica! parties gave their plans IN the
Platforms. The republicans said they
would get rid of it 10y taking taxes off
from whisky and tobacco, and by tariff
that would stop imports And republic
ans said a great many bright things
about it. Fred Grant said, 1T is easier
10 handle a surplus than a deficit" and
Corporal Tanner said, "God hep the sur
p.us if | get hold Of It," But there was
no talk about any surplus when 1892
came. nor when Harrison went out. On
the contrary. every one was talking
about the empty treasury, and his treas
urer was ordering bonds printed. Is
there voter who has forgotten these
facts? Every voter knew there was a
surplus in 1889. Every voter knew there
was not one in 1898.

laborers. and the Blowers are now re-
taliating on Mr.. Bynum. Some Of the
more intelligent ones know that the re-
duction is not due TO the tariff and are
actively supporting him. But while this
one branch of organized :abor is giving
some support to organized .abor's avowed
enemy, Charles L. Henry. the other
branches are not. Notably the flint
glass-blowers have taken their stand
against him, and are now sending out the
following through official channels:
Local union No. 3 Of the American
flint glassworkers' union passed the fol-
lowing resolutions unanimously at their
last regular meeting:
Whereas. It has been charged that
Charles L. Henry, candidate for con-
gress in the Seventh congressional dis
trict Of Indiana, is opposed TO organized
labor and was instrumental in having
laws passed that were detrimental to or
gained ,aoOr in the Indiana legislature,
and.
Whereas. 1t is the opinion of the mem
bers Of local union No. that said
Charles L. Henry is guilty Of said
charges, and.
Whereas. It is with regret we notice
the attempt Of any party to thrust upon
us an enemy of organized labor as said
Charles L. Henry; therefore, be 1t
Resolved. That local union No. 3, of the
American flint glassworkers' union, COM
posed Of 27S free American citizens.
pledge ourselves to do all In our power to
defeat him for the aforementioned
office.
These resolutions were passed unani-
mously and express the sentiment of the
organized labor of Alexandria and
large portion Of Madison county.
The truth is that in Madison county
Henry's hostility to organized labor is
notorious, and, although Henry's ennis
sarles succeeded in buying up two Of the
witnesses against him and running them
out of the state, these same men had
been telling the truth about Henry long
before they made their afhdavits that
were published in The Sentinel The
workingmen of Madison county cannot be
deceived now by their purchased recanta-
tions, but Henry hopes 10 deceive work
ingmen where he is not so well known.

No METEa MEAsUREMENT.

The Sentinel is informed that a move
ment is on foot in the gas belt. and
through all parts of the state that are
supplied with gas from the gas belt, to
secure the passage Of law by the next
legislature providing that gas shall be
sold by meter measurement. The basis
for the contemplated action is the pre-
tended failure of gas. and it will be
urged that meter measurement viii result
in great saving and outstanding of this
useful article. Nothing is being said
openly on the subject, but candidates for
the legislature are being fixed in cases
where they were not originally chosen
with this object in view, and foisted on
nominating conventions through the ef-
forts of the gas companies and their EN-
issarles.
1t is hardly necessary to say that The
Sentinel is earnestly opposed to any such
neaure. or that the people are opposed to

Going Baci> to Farms.

In a recent issue Of the Maine Farmer
attention is called 70 the fact that the
hard times and want of employment IN
cities and towns have caused many per-
sons to return TO the country ana Duy
farms. The Farmer cOmmends the move
ment and observes that the industrious
workingman on a farm Of his own will
