Indiana politics has always been by
word for venomous partisanship and dis

all possibilities in The way OF scandal. The

otherwise attainable.-Pittsburg CONNER

1t would be idle to attempt TO make dis
elimination among the believing mob OF
partisans on both sides as to who was right
and who was wrong. The verdict OF the

that no act of aggression on one side can
be put in evidence as justification or the
partisan ferocity with which IL was sought
to be repelled.-New York Recorder.
The Governor was blamable in holding
back his veto as he was in. holding back

THE NEW ORLEANS RIOT.

There are a lot of people in New Orleans,

The worst phase of labor troubles is
illustrated where they are complicated with

GENERAL HARRISON.

There is sincere rejoicing all over the land
at the news that ex-President Harrison is
recovering from his illness.-Philadelphia
North American. 4IE
He is a man of strong common sense, of
unfinching courage and unfaltering pa
triotism, high type of the best quality
of American citizenship. The American peo-
pie do not worship him, but they know him
and trust him. They know that the years
leIed prosnerisy at home ana Of neace with
honor abroad.-Brookyn Times.
There will be general sympathy with the
ex-President and his family and sincere
hope that he may speedily recover his won't
ed health and strength. No matter whether
upon to occupy public office or not, he will
be generously remembered as one who. per-
formed the duties assigned him with ability
and honesty,-Ph philadelphia Telegraph.
We are sure Mr.. Harrison will be extend
ed the kindly solicitude of all American citi-

will be univerasal and sincere. There are

his health is a matter of national concern.

Every time the next Republican nomina-

SOME POINTS IN THE NICHOLSON
BILL.

Some of the provisions Of the Nichol-
son bill are not quite as explicit as they
might be. and already popular discus
sion is springing up as to their meaning.
AS a general rule the language of a law
is to be interpreted according to its
natural common-sense meaning. and
the different parts of law are to be
construed, if possible, in harmony with
each other and with the whole. When
the courts come to construe the vague
or doubtful provisions of the Nicholson
bill they will take notice Of the intent
of the law as stated in the title, viz.
'to better regulate and restrict the sale
of intoxicating, spirituous, vinous and
malt liquors, providing penalties for
violation OF the same and providing for
the enforcement thereof" This shows
that the primary object of the new law
is to strengthen and enforce the old
one. The only new principle introduced
is the compulsory recognition of local
option. Under the old law majority
of the voters Of township or ward
might demonstrate in writing against
the granting of license to any appli-
cant, but it was optional with the coun-
ty commissioners TO heed the remon-
STRANGE or not. The new law requires
them to do so, and thus makes obliga-
tory upon them what before was op-
tional.
1t has been suggested that the first
section of the new law, which requires
the applicant for license to specific
ally describe the room in which he de-
sires to sell such liquors and the exact
location of the same" was intended to
confer on county commissioners discre-
tionary power to refuse to grant Ii
cense on the ground of the location Of
the room, as, for instance. dn the vicin-
ity of schoolhouse or. in the midst of
a residence district. The language Of
Section 1edoes not seem to justify this
construction. and as there is no other
provision on the subject 1t as probably
not correct.
Opponents OF the new law have COM
plained Of that provision which makes
1t unlawful for the proprietor of a
saloon ''to permit any person or per-
sons other thRns himself and family to
go into such room and place where In
toxicating liquors are sold upon such
days and hours when the sale OF such
liquors Is prohibited by law" 1t IL
claimed thak this will prevent a hired
man from entering q saloon after II
O'Clock at night to scrub the floor, q
the friends Of the proprietors family.

Cheaper Telephone service.

Substantial reduction in the rates
charged by the Bell Telephone Company
for the use of phones have recently been
made, and in a very short time 1t is pro-
charge for the service. At present the low
est rate is $120 year. This, however. ap-
plies only to telephones in the center OF
the city The officials of the company em-
phaticafly deny that the recent decision
has anything to do with the reductiS9nn tiSn W os
rates. AS one of them expressed 1t: There
are no patents on the telegraph: why do
not people build telegraph systems

affect the question of telephone rates Ior

A CASE FOR THE GRAND JURY.

Custodian Griffin is reported as saying
that he was approached by members of
the County Officers Association with a
proposition to close the doors of the
Statehouse to the clerks who had taken
the salary bill to Lieutenant Governor
Nye for his signature, SO that they could
not present it at the office of the Gov
ernor before midnight on Thursday. He
is further reported as saying that the
crowd was so thick and angry about
him that he feared for his life" and
escaped danger by threatening to shoot
any who should interfere with him in
the discharge of his duties.
This is an extraordinary story. and
coming, as it does, from an official, it
is one which the grand jury should in
vestigate. Indeed. the grand jury has
had no more important matter before
it the past two months than this state
ment Of Custodian Griffin involves. 1t
is that county officers, under oath to
obey the laws of Indiana, have ap-
preached an official with a proposition
that he lock the doors of the Statehouse
in order to defeat a measure which was
voted for by more than two-thirds of
the Legislature. 1t is a declaration that
these county officers, when he would not
comply with their request, assumed so
threa tening an attitude that he feared
deadly assault.
If there are county officers or their
henchmen who have turned lawbreakers
and have threatened the life of an Off
cial their names should be known. even
if there is no penalty for such an offense.
The people who demanded, with singular
unanimity, the enactment Of a salary
law have a right to know the names
of the sworn county officers who. as
Custodian Griffin says, tried to induce
him to defeat the. will of the people BY
lawless interference. There may be no
penalty for such crime as was con-
templated, but the men guilty of such
an offense should be made to stand
forth in the sunlight of publicity. The
very fact of such interference woEld
brand them with an infamy which
should drive them from public life and
from association with decent men.
Doubtless Mr.. Griffin can give the names
to the grand jury. and that tribunal
can take action. Compared with this
offense the squabble during the last
half hour of the session is of no conse-
Quence.
Let the grand jury call Custodian
Griffin before it to testify regarding this
statement he has given to the press.

THE NEW LIQUOR LAW.

Unquestionably the popular sentiment OF
Indiana is for the law. for it received the
Endorsement of a very large majority of
both houses without regard to party affilia-
t1ons. Let the law have &. fair trial, and
we predict that it will be many years before
Indiana will abandon the local-option feat
ure.-Indiana Baptist
The Nicholson bill has passed both houses,
as amended, and will become law. With
the exception of the clause affecting minors
the bill is nothing but weakly and senti-
mental bit of political nonsense that will
only result in encouraging the jug trade
and will not mitigate the evils of inebriety
Like all attempts of class legislation, the
Nicholson bill is only effort to abridge
the liberties of citizens to suit the fancies,
real or imaginary, of a certain class.--Tell
City Journal.
No measure that has been introduced in
our State Legislature for years has created
such widespread interest, and for which
there was such a general sentiment in favor
of its passage, as the Nicholson bill, which
passed both houses and will now be the law
of the State for the regulation of the liquor
trafiic 1t is long step forward in the way
that three-fourtks of the people in the
State, without regard to party, are heartily
glad that it has been placed upon the stat
ute books of Indiana.-Fort Wayne Sentinel

saloon kee rers should not object to- 1t i'm

framed with an idea to catch men who are
continually violating the present laws
which are we'll known to have been made
at thesinstance OF the Liquor League If a
saloon keeper holds strictly to the laws
now in force he need not worry about the

pushed up prices Of late. They say that
1t is the surplus which has reduced the
price-a surplus of 100000 bales. Prac-

the assumptions of the cheap money
advocates that a scarcity OF money
makes cotton low. They know that
when one or two million more bales are
