1t has frequently been remarked that
the presidential campaign was a dis
turbing element SO far as the general
business of the country is concerned, and
that it would be better to have such
elections less frequent. There have been
conditions when the campaign has in
terfered with business in dverting at
tention and in the doubt as to the result
If il had been known early in 1892 that
Mr.. Cleveland would be elected the un-
certainty which came 30 manufacturers
at the date of the election would have
begun earlier.
1t has also been remarked that the
presidential election this year cannot
disturb the business of the country be-
cause the result is practically a fore
gone conclusion. That condition is not
without its influence; but the more i'm
portant fact that the change of admin

the country should not be ignored. In

Four years ago Democratic orators told
us that if we could "break down the
Chinese wall of protection we should
soon enjoy the markets of the world"
The wall of protection has been cut
down. but what about the markets of the
world? Where have we gained a foot
hold? Except for cotton and oils, which
we have and others have not, we have
nowhere held our own. We were, with
controlled by Europe. Instead, Europe
has broken into the United States to an
extent that sales in the three chief mar
kets Of the country were smaller during
the last two weeks than during a similar
period, only one-half Of which was do
mestic-the sales being only 6,6s3, 800
pounds. During the corresponding period
of 1892 the sales were 12.017676 pounds,
of which S,369,426 was of home produc-
ton. That is. the sales of domestic wools
in 1892 were nearly a fourth in excess of
the entire sales for the same period in
1896, while a little more than one-third
as much domestic wool was sold in 1892.
Thus the markets of the world have
captured the home market for woods,
and the manufacturers of wooden goods
in Europe have flooded the home mar
ket with their goods to an extent that
the factories in this country are closing
by scores. The Chinese wall of protec-
ton is broken down. but instead of our
enjoying the markets of the world, the
outside producers are enjoying us.

AN ANTE-NUPTIAL AGREEMENT.

the City Dispensary. for the removal OF
her husband to the City Hospital last sat-

shire tole him that her husband had been
i'll for two or three months and was en-
able to work. He is a carpenter. over sixty
years OF age. while his wife is a few years
his junior. Mrs. Derbyshire told the ply
sician that she and her husband had been
married about a year. At the time Of their
marriage Mrs. Derbysnlre owned tae prop

nuptial agreement by the terms Of which
Derbyshire was TO continue to support him
self. DR.. Wilson says that Mrs. Derbysnire
told him that she could not AFFORD 10 sup

agreement he made relieved her OF all re-
sponsibslity for his care.
When questioned by DIR. Wilson Mrs.
Derbyshire informed him that she owned

A SAMPLE OF PERSONAL POLITICS.

From the first the Chicago Times
Herald, Independent, has urged the can
didacy of Governor Mckinley, and, In a
manner that party paper would not.
it has assailed his opponents. Some
time since 1t turned it's batteries of abuse
upon Mr.. Tanner. the Republican candi-
date for Governor of Illinois, hop
ing to prevent his nomination. When
the ballot was taken Mr.. Tanner
had nine-tenths of the votes of the
convention. No man is better known
to the people of Indiana than Mr..
Tanner. Without early advantages and
with an early history which may con-
tain some unpleasant passages, Mr.. Tan
ner has risen to prominence. He has
held several important offices and has
discharged his duties so faithfully that
when he told the Republicans that he
wanted to be Governor they said he
should be. Among other things 1T is
charged against him that he Is a ma
chine politician-which means that he be-
lieves in organization-and that he cam
not speak the English language in ac-
cordance with the rules of grammar.
This is very bad; but when 1t is known
that his father and elder brother were
taken from their home in Missouri at the
outbreak of the war as Unionists and
have never since been heard of, and that
he served in the Union army from first
to last, there are thousands of people
who will overlook the fact that he joins
Singular nouns to plural verbs.
The trouble is that the proprietor of
the independent journal has a grudge
against Mr.. Tanner, and grudges are q
large part of the political motives of the
independent paper. In 1872 the inde-
pendent press was arrayed against Gen.
eral Grant. So unmindful were these
editors of his great service to the coun-
try that they assailed his great name
and his upright character with the most
malignant ISLANDERS that could be de-
vised. The American people, did not
listen to them. To-day the public man
who would assert that General Grant
was not a man of the highest integrity
would be ,contradicted by the best men
in both parties. Grudges were at the
bottom of it. as they are when other good
men are daily assailed by papers which
have no party affiliations.
The same convention which nominated
Mr.. Tanner named the delegates at large
and instructed them for Governor Nc
Kinley, whose champion the paper in
question has been. But, while support
ing Governor Mckinley. this paper has
several times assailed the Republican
| candidate for Governor in a manner
which must embarrass the Ohio man and
his friends. A frequent applauder of
Governor Altgeld. it should occasion no
surprise If this independent paper, sup
porting Governor Mckinley for Presi-
dent and praising President Cleveland in
Washington. should turn to the support
of Governor Altgeld If he should be the
Democratic candidate this year. This is
not politics. but the qualification of per-
| sonal grudges.

THE PROMISE OF THE CONVENTION.

The convention which assemblies on
Thursday will be the largest ever held
by any party in the State. while the num-
Der of people from every part of the
State who will be here to see and to take
part as outside delegates will be unpre-
cedented. This is most encouraging, but
1t counts much more for the future sue
cess and usefulness of the party that
there will be no conflicts as to the party
faith-that the Republican party of In
diana to-day is the only party in 1t hav-
ing the power to affect the policy Of the
Nation and the State that is agreed, and
agreed as never before. upon the issues
upon which 1t will go to battle. Upon
all the leading topics before the country
there is not only practical unanimity,
but a unanimity greater than ever per-
vaded a party except during the years
Of the war. No committee on resolutions
will be needed to wrangle hours over the
party creed to compromise upon strad-
die which involves the surrender of all
principle.
The contests in the convention are be-
tween the aspirants for the nominations.
Thus far. there is no evidence of bitter
ness in; these. and there is no probability
that there will be il the jealous support
ers of the several aspirants take counsel
Of their favorites. 1t Is cause for con-
graduation that there are no factional
fights to promote contentious which will
dampen party enthusiasm and impair
party efficiency. Disappointments there
must be when a dozen men aspire to the
same Office, but these will pass away
The best evidence of party loyalty and
of devotion to principle is that the de-
feated at once place themselves in the
front of battle. To accept the verdict Of
convention and to join in winning sue
cess for its ticket is the surest way to
future success.
The multiplicity of candidates is not
cause for regret. When 1T is necessary
to draft men of the proper attainments
to be candidates it is an admission that
it's leaders not only have no faith In its
success, but that they have no confidence
in its professed principles. No promi-
nent Democrat is seeking the nomina-
ton of his party for President or for
Governor in Indiana because, first of all.
his party cannot agree upon platform

NOT A TIME FOR EXPERIMENTS.

At it's meeting to-day the Local Coun-
Gil will presumably discuss the subject
of putting women in nomination for
embership in the School Board-a mat
ter which was first brought forward at
it's April session. If the council is wise
and has in view the public good it will
decide against the proposed action and
postpone the woman movement to a more
favorable time. The Journal has on
numerous occasions advocated the cleo
ton of women to this board. and its
views on the matter, which have in no.
wise changed, need not be restated here.
But while it would gladly see proper
ly qualified woman on the board, 1t con-
siders the effort to elect one under
existing conditions very ill advised.
1t was demonstrated when women
were candidates two years ago that a
class of voters still. retains enough of the
old prejudice against women in public
life to refuse its support. This element
cannot be whistled aside, nor can 1t be
assumed that it has grown more liberal
in two years. Many such voters are un-
the board and would support man in
opposition to it when they would not
vote for a woman. The inevitable conse-
quence would be divided ticket and the
election of a ring candidate. AS affairs
are now, it is more important that the
schools, the library and the public funds
be taken from incompetent and untrust-
l.
be tried. Elections will be held in five dis
tricts, and there is good reason to be-
lieve that by proper management enough
of these can be carried to secure a ma
jority in the board over the gang"
Women would, no doubt, feel gratified to
see one of their own number chosen, but
the real interests Of men. women and
children are more closely involved in the
routing of the ring than in such a sue
cess. The council will do a public
service by discouraging feminine ambi-
tions at this time and by using it's in
fiuence in behalf of such men as Mr.
George w. Sloan. who. 1t is understood,
will be a candidate in the Martindale dis
trict. Other men equally competent will
doubtless be named in other districts,
and by coming forward in opposition the
women will not only defeat their own
purpose, but will create an antagonism
which will work against them at a later
period.
School affairs are now in a critical con-
dition, and taxpayers must give them
their attention. Another year, when per-
haps less will depend upon the election.
the women can make their experiment
with reasonable chance Of success.
