it is there that the population is congested.
The greatest necessity exists for pure air.
and the sanitary condition should be the
best.
On Court-st. between Pennsylvania-st.
and Capitol-ave. the most disgusting con-
dition of uncleanliness has existed during
the past month. For ten days past, in the
very center of this portion of that paved
street there have been lying the purifying
bodies of two cats and three rats. The five
spots Of contamination have been the gath
ering points of swarms of flies and the po-
lice have 6aily tramped over and around
these plague spots without making any re-
port Of them to the proper authorities.
These rotting bodies are there now. En-
ployes Of the stores fronting on Washing
ton and Market-sts are compelled to sit az
the windows near by throughout the hot.
dry days. breathing into their lungs the
FOUL contaminated air that blows from
these dead animals-anG yet they wonder
why they do not feel better. Here is a
condition, not a theory.
Some people GO some very queer things.
For instance: II is said that there is
lawyer practicing in this city whose home
is at Irvington, and who has been in the
habit for several years past of stopping in
a Westinghouse. business house twice
day while waiting for a car. He would
chat pleasantly with the proprietor and
clerks while waiting. and while not upon
intimate terms with the people of the estab-
lishment was nevertheless regarded as an
acquaintance.
1t CHANGED that some two weeks ago
while the lawyer was waiting for his car
he suddenly made the discovery that he
had not cent of money in his pocket, and
laughingly told the proprietor Of the store.
The nickel was promptly handed TO him
with joking remark as to how liable per-
sons were TO being caught in that embar-
raising situation, and nothing more was
thought about il.
Now. since that time the lawyer waits
upon the street corner for his car and has
never thought to pay back the nickel II
was raining the other day, and yet he
stood on the corner and got soaking wet
rather than go into the store. The en-
ployes of the store now watch for him
every day, and the attorney is unconscious
ly the source of much amusement. The
question is now asked as TO whether he
does not want to pay back the nickel or
whether the little incident has merely left
him with feeling of embarrassment.

FIGHT OR LIE DOWN.

We are surprised to note that a few
western newspapers are showing some
disposition to accept the senate bill as a
fulfllment of democratic pledges, or at
least as the nearest approach to a full
fillment that can be obtained from al
legged democrats in congress. The senti-
ment is thus voiced by the st. Louis Re-
public:
This heroism of making a fight to the
death for the Wilson bill will be admir-
able if it is to win and win quickly. 1t
would be admirable anyhow if the men
who made it also made the sacrifices.
But the expenses are paid by the bust
ness interests of the country. Western
tariff reformers think that the German
senators have been as thoroughly eX-
posed as they ever can be-that they
have been subjected to all the pressure
public opinion can bring to bear. They
have nonchalantly pursued their tao
tics. Hill, Murphy, German. Brice, Smith
and their combination can hold up an
other house bill as they held up the first,
and there is nothing to indicate that
they will not. Congressman and senators
ought to see that the most unpopular
thing in the country is the practice of
delay and wrangle which has been car
ried to such an extreme in this session.
We concede freely that, from a practi-
cal standpoint. the choice seems to be
very hard one. In the first place, there
is the danger of losing everything in the
way of reform and subjecting the coun-
try TO an indefinite continuation of the
Mckinley monstrosity. We are con-
fronted with the fact that half loaf
is better than no bread. The traitors
will not yield. and we must take what
they give or nothing. On the other hand,
no one knows whether they will yield or
not If they are not put to the test the
country will say that no effort was made
to make them yield. We shall be taunt-
ed with the evident truth that half
dozen men. who were false to their de-
clared principles. false to their party in
terests. false to everything but personal

READY FOR BUSINESS.

The gathering Of democracy at the
Grand hotel Wednesday, by the num-
bers in attendance and the enthusiasm
manifested, demonstrated beyond a doubt
that the party in this state will be in the
fight to win next November. There can
be no doubt about it.
Reports were received from every con-
gressional district and from nearly every
county in the state showing the party to
be in good fighting trim, alert, aggressive
and unterrifed. In no quarter was there
expressed the slightest fear as to the re-
suit of the balloting Nowhere are there
any defections or any serious fractional
differences. The party in all sections Of
the state is rapidly being organized. Coun-
ty and district conventions are the largest
and most enthusiastic ever held, and, all
in all, party prospects are most promis-
ing.
The republicans of Indiana might as
we'll understand first as last that they
have a big fight on hand this fall. The
democrats. up to the present time have
been permitting them to have pretty much
their own way-at least so far as talk is
concerned. But now that the time for
action has come, the democrats are ready
to go to work They do not intend to sit
idly by and see the state robbed of the
benefits of good legislation which a sue
cession Of democratic legislatures have
placed on the statute books They do not
intend that the Australian ballot law shall
be repealed and the era of Dorseyism and
Dudleyism reinaugurated: they do not

The Chicago Tribune, in criticising
Cernuschi's ratio proposition, brings for
ward once more those stupid misstate-
ments that silver is cheapened because
the cost of its production has been
cheapened as compared with gold. and
that its production has been largely in
creased as compared with the production
of gold. 1t would be a relief if some of
the papers which claim to believe these
statements would publish some Of the
recorded facts on which their faith is
based.

in short, that any backward step what
ever shall be taken.
From this time on the fighting will be
fast and furious. Long before November
the democracy Of Indiana will be found
in the splendid form in which it was in
1892. and when the votes are counted the
victorious rooster will crow as he never
crowed before.
