The state Fair Disappointment.

There is much complaint among the peo-
pie concerning the mismanagement of those
in charge of the programme at the state
fair yesterday. The crowd in attendance
was estimated at forty thousand the larg-
est ever on the grounds but the big
Pointer-Patchen race the even, which drew
most of the people there, was delayed until
so late that thousands were compelled to
leave the grounds, in order to catch their
News.
People were led to believe that they could
go to The Back Gate city, see the fair and
the great pacing race and get home the
same day 1t was a clear case of swindle.
First the State Fair Association allowed
the great event to be held off until quite

trains had left the city. The trains went
out on time. They did not get in on time
by any means. The result of this COM
bination upon the part of indianapolis and
the railroads to hold up country people for
an extra nights lodging and meals was
huge succesS-Muncie News
The management had advertised as a
drawing card the big Patchen-Pointer race

More residents of Indianapolis were
wronged by the delay of the races than
were present from out of town. and the
Indignation in this city was general and
was intensified because Of the greater hard
ship to those who came on the trains. In
dianapolis was not represented in the man

surd to charge that it's citizens desired to
delay the races in order to compel visitors
to pay for lodgings and meals.

A week ago last Sund. y the branches of
Debss Social Democracy in Chicago held
a public meeting, at which each orator
seemed to enter into competition with
every other orator to utter the most rabid
anarchistic heresies. Mr.. Debs, who has
done something in that line the past few
weeks, learned that the talk on that Sun
day had excited the community and called
a meeting Of the executive council of So
cial Democracy on Friday to denounce in
unsparing terms those speakers who had
sought to commit the Debs order to pol
icy of murder and incendiarism. He de-
clared that the methods of the Social De-
mocracy are peaceful and that education
and the ballot are the instruments with
which they work After Debs's announce
ment several Of the officers who had waved
the red flag the Sunday previous confessed
that they had made mistakes. They no
longer believe in getting a gun and killing
twenty millionaires. The executive coun-
which will be followed, it is said, by the
suspension or expulsion of the offending
speakers. This is significant action. To
be an Anarchist is to be an ally of assas-
sins. The people of Chicago understand
this, and very naturally have expressed re-
pugnance at the expressions of those who
cannot distinguish between socialism and
anarchism-between peaceful methods and
assassination.

Secretary of the Treasury Gage, who is
now in Chicago. says in a published inter-
view:
The national paper money people-or
Greenback party-wlll never accomplish re-
suits. Their system is unattainable. A gov
eminent cannot have money that is not re-
deemable. There must be redemption in
money that is expected to be recognized.
There certainly must be something back OF
a currency, and when greenbackers talk
about a money that is not redeemable they
are talking about something that is unat-
tainabe.
This is true beyond the shadow of a
doubt, and yet it is probable that there will
always be some party, faction or organiza-
ton demanding an unrestricted issue of ir-
redeemable paper money. The very idea of
fiat money has a fascination for people of a
certain mental cast and caliber, just as the
squaring of the circle. perpetual motion,
etc, have for others. The growing inteli-
gence of mankind will make the object
more and more impossible of attainment,
but fiat money will always have some adj
vocates

The action of the President in requesting
Consul General Lee to return to Cuba will
be heartily approved by the people. AL
though an ex-Confederate and Democrat,
General Lee has shown himself a thorough
ly patriotic American, and his personal
qualities and knowledge of Cuban affairs
make it desirable that he should remain
in Cuba until matters become more settled.
Although he has not talked for publication,
it is said that he scores Weyler for his
treachery, cruelty and incompetence, and
predicts that the Cubans will win their
independence by force of arms and with
out open aid from the United States.

Attention is called to a communication in
this issue of the Journal relative to the
means of promoting our trade with Central
and South American states. Some of these
have been pointed out in the Journal be-
fore, but as they are indispensable to the
named they will bear repetition. They re-
late to the manner of soliciting the trade
and of packing and shipping goods. First,
circulars do no good. The way to get the
trade is to go after it, and for this pur-
pose trained solicitors who understand the
language and customs of the people are
necessary. 1t is useless to send to Central
or South American countries drummers who
do not speak Spanish. European merchants
and manufacturers understand this, and
practice it very advantageously. Then
they know the Importance of consulting the
tastes of the people in the kind of goods
they offer, and their customs in regard to
packing, shipping and handling. American
manufacturers who wish to build up trade
with Central and South American countries
and there are some such in Indiana-must
make study of these matters or they will
not be Gin it, with European manufactur-
ers. The Importance of establishing lines
of steamers between the United States and
these countries is too obvious for argument,
but it seems to be impossible to make Con-
gress see it.

turn him out that Democrat might have
his place. The Republican who proposes
to vote for Mr.. Taggart could as consist
emily vote for any other Democrat-indeed,
more so, since no other Democrat in office
has turned more Republicans out of posi-
tions.
Let Republicans proceed upon the fact
that, before all else, Thomas Taggart is a
Democratic mayor and will use his official
influence and patronage to make Marion a
Democratic county and Indiana Demo-
cratic State. When a man calling himself
a Republican votes for Mr.. Taggart let him
fully understand that he is voting for a
man who will use all his official influence
to turn Indiana back to Democracy.

From all reliable sources it appears that
the much advertised 16-to-1 camp meeting
in Springfield, o., was a most conspicuous
failure. The Cincinnati Enquirer keeps up
the semblance of large attendance and
great enthusiasm, but the facts gathered
by other correspondents show that it was
failure that will damage the 16-to-1 fad.
Even Mr.. Bryan could not be induced to
go to help draw a crowd. Most of the other
orators for silver were conspicuous by their
absence. EX-Representative Towne, of Min
nesota, silver Republican, was present, but
he had nowhere else to go. General Warner
was present, but as the head of the silver
mine owners lobby at Washington he is
under pay and must put in an appearance.
The unfortunate Democratic candidate for
Governor was advertised to appear, but he
is not an orator. Ten cents admission was
asked in order to meet the expenses, but
the collections for admissions are not half
the expenses thus far. The correspondent of
the Pittsburg Dispatch writes that "a Won
derful change has been made locally in pol
itics by the failure Of the silver camp meet
ing" and that local Democrats are out
spoken in declaring that there was only one
way to account for the slim attendance,
and that is that the silver issue is dead

string to the pledge of the managers of
the Bank of England to use silver for a
portion of their reserve. 1t appears in the
statement that the bank will use silver in
that manner when France shall agree to
open its minis to the free coinage of sill
yer. 1t is very safe sort of liberality. AT
the first appearance of the depreciation Of
silver IL ceased its general coinage. 1t will

1t is said the attempted assassination of
Isaiah II. Loftin, the colored postmaster
of Hogansville, Ga, will be made the basis
of an immediate and vigorous prosecution
of all who are connected with the affair.
This much is due to the enforcement of
law, but in addition the administration
should take firm stand against the move
ment to boycott colored office holders in the
South. 1t is not likely there will be many
such appointments, but wherever they are
made the incumbents should have ample
protection The government should not al
low itself to be coerced or dictated to in the
smallest matter by any party, fac
ton or class of men, and if any commu-
nifty attempts to draw the color line against
a postmaster otherwise qualified it should

ton and laws of the United States are SUI
