THE third annual exposition, under

jronnding Territories.
The maddest man in tho country Is
Shoemaker of the IndjanapoliB Senti
nel. He recently applied to the chair
man of the democratic committee in
his state for some "moral support" in
the libel suit that Mr. Blaine has
commenced against him for the insult
to his wife. The chairman answered
him as follows through a mutual
friend : "I feel like opening the cam
paign purse and telling him to heip
himself. Bat I restrain myself. The
campaign funds muBt be protected
and my dear friend Shoemaker, I
fear, must fight it out alone."
Shoemaker responds with more fire
than grammar. He declares that "In
a wider and moral sense the game
was one of the democratic party."
"Thus viowed, the Sentinel has the
right to expect the moral support of
democrats." "Does Mr. Henderson
represent the committee when throw
ing cold water on the Sentinel's polit
ical fight with the republican candi
dates in the courts?" If so, he say6
that he appeals to the party at large
against such "cowardly and unworthy
conduct."
Mr. Shoemaker will probably mae
his appeal in vain. It is true that the
democratic committee stood in the
breach nobly with all the funds that
were necessary when the Moroy for
gery was in need of "moral support."
But the Morey forgery was sent out
at a time when it could do some good.
It was only a week before tho elec
tion, and the astute Mr. Barnum and
the eccentric Mr. Hewitt felt in their
bones that the time was too short to
hunt down tho man who did it, and if
Hancock was elected it was all right,
and no amouut of prosecution of such
tools as Hadley would affect tho
result.
But in this case tho Sentinel fired
off valuable ammunition before the
committee was ready. It wasted tho
best lie that had been concocted. It
destroyed at ono blow the work of
the chisel that defaced tho tombstone
of the firstborn of the Blaine house
hold. It gave Mr. Blaine more than
sixty days to show up tho falsehood
in tho courts. Instead of doing the
democrats any good it has done them
appreciablo harm Hence the Senti
ncl must fight it through alone." When
its editor knows more, as ho will by
the time the court gets through with
him, he will not bo too previous in
exploding the democratic dynamite.
As it is ho has made a very bad mess
of it. State Journal.
There is no longer room to ques

Men brought up uuder the influences
of civilized lifo must bo very near to
tho starvation point before they would
think of doing a thing so revolting to
all finer feelings ot humanity. You
and 1, kind reader, who sutler none of
the cravings or hunger, are almost
unqualified to speak. We think that
no necessity could bring us to this.
Ben Franklin is credited with saying,
after a few days abstinence from meal,
and beiug converted to his old way
of thinking on observing big fish eat
ing the little ones, '"How convenient
a thing it is that man is a reasoning
creature, because hecau either find or
make a reason for anything he may
wish to do." The divino spirit in
man must bo developed to a pheno
menal degree in order that conscience
may have the strength to hold down
the knawiuga ot hunger, and it is safe
to say that nearly every man would
do the same thing under like circum
stances. "When a man thinks a newspaper
article amounts to nothing he gener
ally pays no attention to it whatever.
Tho last Democrat occupies about a
quarter of a column space to set forth
its unbounded contempt for Mr. Mc
Hugh's open letter to Irishmen, print
ed in last week's Joukkal. If Mc
Hugh's letter is nothing, and this
paragraph is "much ado about noth
ing," the only substantial part intend
ed to attract attention is the "thunder
bolt burled forth by the vigorous
Nebraska arm of Dan Condon." Is
the Democrat tryiug to make light of
Condon? If not, why does it not
give Dan the benefit of knowing
which one of his numerous shafts of
lightning has struck home, and may
fitly be called "the thunderbolt?"
Hendricks, Logau and Butler have
entered the campaign and all made
speeches. They have presented the
strongest points perhapB in contro
versy between the three political
divisions. For political information
wc recommend to onr readers a thor
ough examination of those speeches
and Blaine's letter of acceptance, as
they will impart more information
on the political issues for the cost and
amount of reading than any other
three documents now published, as
they can be read together and the
evidence selected readily, detecting
anj- dodging or squirming of cither
party on any of the questions at issue,
especially the question of tariff or
freo trade.
Miss Alice McCiban, of Harrison
county, Ohio, was engaged to a young
gentleman named Nash, a resident of
the neighborhood and both highly
esteemed. Having called to see her
the other evening and when about to
leave her he made the unguarded re
mark that he had concluded to sever
their relations, and in the futnre there
could he nothing botween them but
friendship. Sho was so affected that
she 6auk down into a spasm that con
tinned uutil her death, in thirty-six
bourn, during the whole of which
timo she was unconscious, and at
times required three men lo hold her.
T. C. Mills was granted a private
interview the other day with Miss
Carrie "White, at Muskegon, Mich.,
aud immediately opened fire on her,
sending a ball into her left side, in-
fiicting a mortal wound. Jealousy

A private dispatch to London from
Tien Tsin says China is not disheart
ened. The government has issued an
edict encouraging troops to fight and
warning local authorities everywhere
to protect non-combatant Frenchmen.
Bishop Si-atjlding says that not
only are American politics immoral,
but that the evidence of general moral
decadence stares us in the face. The
Bishops with all other good citizens
should use their influence to bring
about a more faithful execution of the
laws city, state and national, and
many years would not intervene
until the general moral decadence
would cease to stare good people in
(he face. The certain and faithful
execution of the laws would soon
banish frauds in elections, revolver
ami shot-gun policy and lessen crime
and immorality in American politics.
Citizenship of the republic must
be tho panoply and safeguard of him
who wears it. The American citizen,
rich or poor, nativo or naturalized,
white or colored, must everywhere
walk secure in his personal and civil
rights. The republic should never
accept a lesser duty, it can never as
sume a nobler one, than the protection
of the humblest man who owes it loy
alty protection at home, and protec
tion which shall follow him abroad,
into whatever land he may go npon a
lawful errand. James G. Blaine.

district court, has overruled the do
murrcr tiled by the defense in the

tinel will file its answer right away

the reason that most of the witnesses
live at a distauco from Indianapolis

quired in taking depositions.
