TAGGARTISsI.

Within the last few days the Journal has
published some surprising figures regarding
the cost of Taggartism to the taxpayers Of
Marion county during the years when Tag
gartism was at its height. The term is used
for want of a better one to describe the
legalized robbery Of the people by an or
ganized ring of party leaders under the
guise of public service. In New York it has
been known for many years Tammany.
Next to its Unsuitable greed, one of its worst
features is the faculty Of perpetuating itself
by naming its successors and continuing it's
methods. thus compelling the people to con-
tribute out of their own pockets to the
maintenance of system for their own rob-
berry. Official figures published by the
Journal show that during three years, eleven
months and seven days Thomas Taggart. as
auditor of Marion county, drew out of the
county treasury SAB. 5O3.93. OF this amount
$55,694.9S was for salary, to which he was
entitled. ST ,3S7.46 was for managing the
school fund, which was mismanaged and
47,001.49 was for miscellaneous services
which should all have been rendered with
out any extra pay. OF the whole amount.
$S0,569.A was allowed and paid without any
bills to show for what the allowances were
made That they were out of all proportion
to Mr.. Taggart's merits or services to The
people is too plain for argument. They
represent virulent type of political rob-
berry. complicated by ali aggravated form
of Taggartism.
The significance of the figures lies in the
fact that Mr. Z. M. Johnson, who was dep
uty auditor during Mr.. Taggart's entire
term and who had hand in procuring all
of these exorbitant allowances, and who
has been kept in Office ever since by Mr..
Taggart, is now candidate for auditor.
1t is Tammany transplanted to Indianapo-
lis in the form of Taggartism. The election
of Mr.. Johnson would be a popular indorse-
ment Of the methods by which Thomas Tag
CART was enriched to the amount of $143,-
50S.S3 in less than four years and of the
person who worked these methods. The
issue is not so much one of individuals as it
is of Plagiarism.

While the Nation is engaged in harvesting
the fruits of its victorious war against
Spain and the world is still ringing with APP
navy, organized and directed by President
Mckinley and his chosen assistants, it may
be well to consider for a moment what
might have happened. In the election of
1896 Mr.. Mckinley received 271 electoral
votes, to 176 for w. ]. Bryan. The popular
vote was 7,106.199 for Mckinley to 6,502,6S
for Bryan The change of 4S electoral votes
from one side TO the other would have
elected Bryan. and it would not have re-
quired great change in the popular vote
to have effected this result. The election of
Mckinley was construed as declaration
in favor of a protective tariff and sound
money and was followed by a revival of
confidence and prosperity which has con-
tinued to increase to the present time and
is still increasing. The public credit is so
good that a war loan of $2OO.00O,0O0 was
placed at 3 per cent. interest, as against
per cent. paid for a peace loan by the last
administration A foreign war has been
prosecuted to successful conclusion with
an energy that has excited the establishment
OF the world. the national prestige has been
UNNECESSARILY increased. the national do
main greatly extended, and there was more
money in the treasury at the end of the war
than there was at the beginning.
What would probably have happened if
Bryan had been elected President? To be-
gin with. we should have had young and
inexperienced man in a position that should
be filled by veteran statesman. The coun-
try would have gone Immediately TO a silver
basis, revoIutionizing values and business,
and destroying confidence and credit. The
Cuban Instruction, which had been going
on two years. would have continued, as it
did under McKinley's administration. The
Democrats. who claim to have forced Nc
Kinley into war with Spain, would have

The Garden party, of Fresno, and the

people, have returned over the Edmonton

travelling through 1900 miles of rough coun-

Several days since the evening Taggart
the Taggart purchase of land for the Tag
CART park by saying that the Mayor and his
associates have purchased a thousand acres
of land for the money set apart for the
purchase. AS a matter of fact the quantity
of land purchased appears to be S91.S4 acres,
for which S259, 245 was paid, or about $2S5
an acre. But lnis has nothing to Go with
the charge and demonstration that for the
lands purchased of Democratic friends twice
as much was paid as they would be adj
judged to be worth by impartial and COM
petent judges of values in real estate, near
ly twice as much as they are assessed for
purposes of taxation, and twice much
as those who sold them seem to have paid
for them several years ago. No amount of
chatter about the number of acres pur-
chased or the price paid at other times for
park lands has anything to do with this
case. The facts are that as soon the
money to purchase lands for a park was
in hand, the friends of the. Mayor coveted
it. They proceeded to get rid Of the park
board; next it was set forth that the lands
could not be purchased which the park
board had selected and the scheme was
given up; then the Board of Works-that is.
the Mayor and Controller Johnson-with
the Democratic land owners, devised a
scheme for a park in a place every way
unsutable-s location which is 80 unfit that
it will take hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to put large part of it in a condition
that it will not be overfowed by every
freshet. The whole affair is job, and so
clearly a. job that no plausible defense can
be made of it,

Sentinel during its session Of Tuesday I'VE
desire 10 say" declares that board, that
this publication Of the Sentinel is sensa-
tional and in the most part untrue. The
statements that are given ere unauthor-
lied by this board. and we desire to deny
the representations made as to it's express
sion and purposes relating to both the board

ernor." the declaration of the Board of
Charities continues.
While the foregoing is blow on the
mouth for the Sentinel, it is proper to sug-
gest that the excellent gentlemen and ladies
of the State Board of Charities take the
Sentinel altogether too seriously. They seem
not to understand that making false charges
is the business of the Sentinel. 1t does not
seek to publish anything else affecting poll
tics. If the members of the Board of Char
tiles were In politics they would know that
such is the case and ignore the Sentiners
sensations and falsehoods as do other people
for the most part. No we'll informed man
would have paid any attention to the false
hoodsA of the Sentinel, even those made
of whole cloth. about the Board of Char
tiles. The rebuke which the board has adj
ministered is deserved, and it cannot be
criticised other than on the ground that
it is unnecessary.

forced Bryan far more easily. The Wilson
force. and the revenues of the government
would have continued to fall short of its ex-
penditures. It's credit would have been
shattered in all the money centers of the
world, and its own people would have lost
confidence in the honesty of a government
that had scaled down its currency 80 cents
on the dollar. Nevertheless, the war would
have come on William J. Bryan, instead
OF being colonel of a Nebraska regiment of
volunteers. would have been commander-in-
chief of the army and navy of the United
States. The war would have been prose-
cuted on a silver basis doubling its cost in
every respect. The country knows what has
been accomplished under McKinleys ad-
ministration. Does any sane person be-
lieve that like results would have been &C
complished if Bryan had been elected?
Could he and such assistants as he would
probably have called around him have
modified an army quicker than was done
by this administration? Would the Spanish
fleet at Manila and Cervera's fleet have
been more effectually destroyed would the
Spaniards have been expelled from Cuba
more promptly, would Porto Rico and the
Philippines have been captured sooner, and
would all this have been accomplished at
less loss of life or with less of sickness and
hardship than it has been done? There is
not an intelligent man in America who be-
lieves it, yet that is what the Democratic
party is asking the people to say by their
votes in November.

AUSTIN. New, Oct. 26.-The reported In
dian outbreak at Midas is greatly exagger-
ated. There is no danger at present. On
Friday. the 21st inst, an Indian named Bal
lard and white man named Mcleod took a
load of hay to Midas The Indian got drunlS
and was carrying bottle of whisky on the
way home. The bottle broke and the Indian
accused Mcleod of breaking it. In his
anger he cut Mcleod about the head and
face with knife, and threatened to kill him.
On reaching the river the Indian wanted to
get a rifle from John SIGNALLING, sa ying he
wished to kill George. Gooding, John Bowler
and James Day. He could not get a rifle
and started after Mcleod again with the
knife. John SIGNALLING held the Indian
while Mcleod got away for a time. Later
he found Mcleod again, and the latter in
self-defense gave the Indian a terrible beat
ing. The Indian was taken to Midas and
placed in Jail and is now in a very danger
Gus condition. The Indians are greatly
worked up over the affair, and Ballard
brothers say they will kill Mcleod, but do
not threaten others. The people in Midas
and Austin are not worried over the out
come, and there is no apprehension Of
trouble.
