0 2 THE JMMJsWrOLIS JOURNAL, SUNDAY. OCTOBER 21, 1894. tall; once mors to the people of Indiana at the request of my Republican friends who have done so murh for me. I felt that I could not withhold this small contribution In their interest. I am not less a llepubllcan than I used to be, but I think I have J-arned to have less partisanship and to a.

a kindlier view of all those who dlffc with me. I like to believe, and I do bcMeve, as th result of my experience in life, that the great bulk of our people, without any reference to their political or religious creeds, are loyal, true-hearted Americans, who really desire to see their country prorperous, happy and glorious. I therefore talk to you to-day as one having perfect respect for those whofe opinion dtnVr with mine, having no other object than the words that I shall say may tak-n Into your mind without prejudice and Riven such weight as upon retlectlon they may pern to you to be entitled to. It Is a happy omen that our people are taking jo great an Interest in this off year campaign. We do not all the officers of our State or national government.

but we are to choose a. Legislature and we are to choose a House of Representatives at Washington. These bodies will exercise very important influence for the Improvement or for tho disadvantage of the State and of the Nation. The Legislature of State dal with Important concerns mat-ters of local taxation and Improvement and orler. The House of Representatives at Washington deals with questions that In a higher degree and more momentously affect the business interests of all our people.

We have been discussing the tariff question in the newspapers and on the stump ever sine the oldest man before me was born. There seemed likely to be no end to the discission. Hut now there has- come into the field of debate a new teacher. The generation that Is now active in life has never had any experience of any other tariff policy than a protective tariff policy. You have never tested free trade or a tariff for revenua only.

You have heard men eulogize it: you have heard men speaking in prophetic strains of the good It would trimr to the country if it was adopted, but neither they nor you have had any experience of It. Now what was the result of those years, so far as tariff policies affect the progress of the Nation In wealth. I ask any candid Democrat to take his census reports and examine the comparative tables In Increase of weilth and in population of the different period In our history, and tell me whether there has been any period in which we have so rapidly and so enormously Increased our national wealth as during this period under a protective tariff. I am not one of those extremists who believe that a tariff Is everything. I heard once, many year ago.

our lamented friend. ex-Governor Hendricks, making a speech and telling what the Democratic party had done for th country In those old times before the war. It seemed to me thaf he was claiming excessive credit for his party and that he. was really tryin to persuade the people that the early and the litter rains, the he. aging of the corn to the ear.

the harves all had come of the Democratic party. l-erhaps you have heard fome Republicans talk in similar strains of extravagance. But my friends tne underlying element of success, the underlying element of Increase in wealth. Is the industry and thrift of our people. That is the bottom rock of all things; and there Is no political policy, no tariff policy.

io money policy, no other policy that goes into laws that can take the place of that. That mu3t be at the bottom and "re must assume that. But we may assume that that element in our prof peri ty is pretty uniform. It is characteristic of our people. Now what can, wha1; does, the tariff do for us? There can be no doubt that it touches every business interest.

Every man who is making anything consults that list. He wants to know at what rat? goods made In England, Ger-m ly and France can get Into this market In competition with his goods. That Is one of the elements in his calculation; he cannct leave it out." AT LOGANSPORT. Qulncy A. Meyers and a committee accompanied the party to Logansport.

At this beautiful city of the Wabash valley carriages took General Harrison and friends up to the rink, where the largest crowd ever seen- under a roof In Losans-port was found. People were packed closely as tobacco leaves in a cut of plug. There were nearly four thousand there. The atmosphere was suffocating, and people struggling for a breathing space made a humming noise that was difficult to subdue. For this reason General Harrison had some difficulty in making himself heard, although he spoke in his usual good voice.

W. T. Wilson presented him with this brief re mart: "I will not Introduce General Harrison; you all know him." The address at Logansport was only of fifteen minutes duration. Hon. Charles B.

Dr. W. Smith and Charles Harley was the escort committee from Logansport to Delphi. The audience at Delphi was another surprise of the Journey through northern Indiana. An audience of about was anticipated, but it seemed that there were fully five thousand about the rear end of the train when It stopped.

Hon. Thomas Nelson had been addressing the crowd. General Harrison spoke for twenty minutes, confining himself largely to the tariff. From Delphi to Lafayette a very quick' run was made, much of the distance being made at the rate of a mile In less than a minute. This enabled the train to reach Lafayette on schedule time.

1 OlilTUAItV. Jntnri Anthony Frondf, the "WcII-Known English Illntorlun. LONDON. Oct. 20.

James Anthony FrouJe. the historian, died at 6:30 o'clock thi3 morning. Mr. Froude was born In Totness, In Devonshire, in ISIS. He was educated at Oxford and became a fellow of Exeter College.

In 1347 he published "The Shadows of the Clouds," a novel. Two years later appeared "The Nemesis of Faith," which made a mighty stir In orthodox England and cost the author his fellowship. His principal work, of course. Is his "History of England," which deals with the period from the fall of Wo'seley to the death of Queen Elizabeth. This appeared in He subsequently published "Short Studies on Great Subjects," "The English in Ireland in the Eighteenth Century," "Caesar; a Sketch" and the two books on Carlyle's early life and his life in London.

The cynical frankness with which he edited Carlyle's "Reminiscences" and the "Final Memorials of Jane Welch Carlyle" were provocative of a great deal of savage crlti-- clsm. A writer recently said of the historian: "During the last ten years he has traveled widely. His impressions of the antipodes and the West Indlas are as accurate as they are picturesque and delightful. These last two adjectives describe Mr. Froude's talk; not fully, but.

so far as they go, exactly. He has the power of making others fee things as he sees them; the power of im- parting his delight In them; the power of so describing objects that the description produces on others the impressions that the objects themselves produce upon him. It is not a common gift, but it is not all. Mr. Froude possesses, alike In print and in speech, the incommunicable secret of style.

To see how lasting is the mark of ecclesiastical and iheolgical reading in Mr. Froude yoo have only to turn to any volume when he has to discourse on such matters the Oxford counter-reformation, for example or to listen to him wnen he talks on them. Orthodox he is not. but orthodoxy has little to say to a profoundly religious soul. It Is characteristic of him to care deeply about subjects for which he cares at all.

The gossip of Mayfalr is not one of them, yet the butterflies of Mayfir have not a more airy touch than he, when he brings serious matters Into social converse. He can be Instructive without becoming, pedantic; pours out knowledge in floods, but does not lecture; Is a man of the world, and neither professor nor pedagogue no, nor a fanatic, with a mission to preach to all comers on all occasions this last, perhaps, the most tiresome of all three."

Princeton, Cornell made a touchdown while Princeton could get but two touchdowns from which goals were kicked, leaving the 12 to 4 in favor of Princeton.

Before the game was begun the Cornell. men were trying to get odds that Princeton would not score more than twenty-four points to none, and when Cornell got its touchdown the wearers of the red and white nearly yelled themselves hoarse. The game showed very clearly that Cornell is the gainer by the new rules, as It does better In an open game than the heavy men from Princeton. It showed, moreover, that Princeton is behind her playing of last year. The fumbling; of the Princeton team was more noticeable than that of Cornell and several times the ball was lost at a critical point.

FAPJS IS CLEVER HE TORK THE MASK OFF OF BROOK-SIIIHC AT CRAWFOIIDSYILLE. The Reports from Republican Meet-lags Over the State Show un Increase In Enthusiasm. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CRAWFORDSV1LLE, Oct G. W.

Faris. Republican candidate for Congress in the Eighth district, spoke here this afternoon. This was the end of bis canvass in Montgomery county, wher he has been for a week. He has had splendid success at every point and his remarks have been well received. He has spoken at Waveland.

Ladoga, Mace, Bethel Church. Darlington, Linden, Waynetown and Alamo. This afternoon Mr. FarLs was escorted by the Morton Club to Music Hall, where he was listened to by a large crowd. A.

B. Anderson acted as chairman. Mr. Faris dwelt mainly on the tariff policy of the Democratic party and how It has affected the industries of the country. He answered several statements of E.

V. Brock-shire. Brookshire said that he "believed in the free importation of all crude material," and also said "that no country in the world was so profuse In crude material as ours." Mr. Faris wanted to know If this country were so profuse in crude material why does he demand the free Importation of it? Another Brookshire argument was that the Italian laborer was paid more in proportion to his production than the laborers of our country. The Italian labor received 51.23 to the American's $3.20 In working the same length of time.

The speech of Mr. Faris was very logical, and his reference to wheat" was aptly told by an illustration about the farmer who had carried a transparency in the Democratic procession in The man this year had presented it to a Republican club, and had written on a slip of paper and tacked under the words: "Vote for Cleveland and get $1.25 wheat," these words: "Seventy-five per cent, of the above is a lie." At the close of Mr. Farls's address Mr. Moore, the Republican candidate for joint Representative for Momgomery, Putnam and Ciay counties, was introduced. He said that Secretary of State Myers was going around telling that since the new tax law had been passed the Democrats had paid of State debt He said that had been received from the government as a return of the war tax, and of this $710,000 had been paid on the debt and JlO.OuO sunk in the general pile.

Then, to reach the sum total, there was a "Democratic promise to pay in November and February." He also referred to his opponent, Mr. Williamson, who was once a Democrat, then a Republican, and now a Democrat again, as to the story of a preacher's horse that was always stumbling and falling down. The minister had traded horses, and the two men were riding along together on their new animals. The minister's former horse stumbled and came near falling down, and the man asked If the horse did this often. The minister said no, as before he had always fallen down.

Directly the horse stumbled, fell down, turned a somersault and got up and ran back. The new owner started after him. and the minister said: "Hold on. he will not go thirty yards until he will again go through a like performance and come back headed this way."

ENGLISH, Oct 20. The campaign, is growing redhot in Crawford county. Capt. Worrall, who has been billed for some time to make four speeches in this county, was greeted by a good audience at this place last night, before which he delivered one of the most telling speeches ever heard here. His style of treating the questions of the day pleased the people greatly.

He weaves facts and figures Into arguments In support of Republicanism against Democracy that force conviction. The Captain had availed himself In the afternoon of the opportunity to hear Senator Turpie, who spoke to an audience of 113, actual count, at the beginning, and at the close there were Just eighty-seven left.

The Cincinnati Enquirer announces that three of the leading factories of this city are working 1,20) men, the same as they had been doing for years. The statement was so grors and misrepresenting that the Republicans of this city went to the trouble of gathering facts. Manager Dukes, of the Indiana Manufacturing Company, says: "I have seen the article referred to and the statements are preposterous. One year ago we had C30 people on our pay roll, working ten hours per day, now we have 150 people working eight hours a day, when they work, and their employment is Irregular. We have hardly any orders on hand, and those we have are at so low a figure that we are losing money every day we run." Mr.

Loul3 Mergenthelm, senior proprietor of the Peru woolen mills, one of the largest concerns In the country, say3 they do not employ three hundred hands, but have on their pay rolls about 125 persons; that the firm Is actually losing money on its investments during thesr Democratic times, and is operating Its plant In order to keep its help employed.

Four or Five People Reported Shot Little Money Snld to Have Ikeu Secured by the Gnnjr. PARSONS, Oct 20. The Missouri Pacific passenger train No. 223 on the Kansas Arkansas Valley branch, held up by four or five masked men at Coretta siding, seven miles east of Wagoner, I. at 10 o'clock to-night.

An empty car was placed on the main track and the train struck It. The robbers commenced a terrible onslaught, and four or five persons are reported shot. But little money is raid to have been secured. The robbery was the work of Cook and his desperate gang of outlaws who have recently been terrorizing the citizens of the Territory. For two months past all railroads passing through the Territory have been heavily guarded in fear of an attack, and many shipments of money Into the Territory have been refused by the express company.

Many depredations of the gang, especially within the past week or two, have shown this precaution to be timely. For days the gang has been represented as being at different points planning a robbery, and thorough preparations were made to meet the expected attack. The outlaws evidently anticipated a desperate resistance, and began work by shooting freely. Reports are meager. Later.

All the cars excepting the sleeper were "shot full of holes," and not a whole window remained. The train struck an obstruction of cars across the track after being shunted on to a siding, the outlaws having thrown a switch for that purpose. The money secured was from the local eafe. During the fusillade Jack McHara, advance agent of the McHara minstrel show, received a shot in the forehead. How serious it is Is not known.

He was in one of the passenger coaches at the time. The train was in charge of engineer Harris and conductor W. J. Dunkin. Allejred Robber Captured.

lie is in reality a wonder. He is thirteen years old and of the average size for that age. Although he claims never to have been at school for more than five months, he uses at times the choicest of language and appears to be able to express himself lucidly and losically. His delivery combines strength of voice and grace of gesture, and he could easily be heard, even outside of the church, where many were forced to stand on account of the crush Inside. He took his text from the nineteenth chapter of St.

Luke, tenth verse. He Hrst began by 1 admonishing the congregation that quiet was necessary before he could or would proceed. He said that he would either have to be heard or he would stop, to listen to them. At these words the giggles and buzz of conversation ceased Immediately and the incessant chatter that had been In progress could be no longer distinguished. Without the least embarrassment the young preacher began his sermon.

"It Is already late," said he, "nearly 9 o'clock. As I am tired to-night I will only make a short talk. I will take my text from the nineteenth chapter of St. Luke, the tenth verse." After explaining the Immediate text in an ordinary tone of voice he suddenly seemed to acquire enormous energy, and began to exhort in that semi-sing-song tone peculiar to his race. "God made man," paid he, "and placed him where he had all that was necessary to life.

Everything was happy about him. but man became lonesome. Then God put him to sleep, and while he was asleep drew forth from his side a rib. Of thi3 rib he created Eve, who was to be tna, companion and wife of Adam. There were many things in the Garden of Eden this place of happiness.

There were the beasts of the forrest and the fowls of the air, nnd many beautiful flowers and trees. There was also a tree in the midst of garden called the tree of knowledge and of good and evil. "Eve was a woman and she was, therefore, weak-minded, and she went to tha tree and in disobedience of God plucked the fruit thereof. he ate of this fruit and, going to her husband, gave him also a wr-tion of It, and in consequence they wen driven forth from the garden and wandered on the face of the earth without shelter or hope of salvation. They had no Savior as we have to-night no one to pray for them or to look after their salvation.

We have It from divine authority that it is the lost sheep that God is looking fcr. The good shepherd left his ninety-nine sheep that were safe in the fold and went forth to search for the one lost sheep; thus the Son of Man left the ninety-nine good Kheep the angels In heaven and went into th wilderness, which Is the earth, to hunt for the lost sheep, which Is man, and try to save him. Will you take advantage of Hi offer of salvation?" All aiong the listeners were well wrought up and at this last outburst they broka forth with renewed vigor, and many of the women sprang from their Feats and beRan to Jump up and down, shouting various crie3 indicative of their glorification and almost Immediate salvation. Even among the children this intense excitement seemed to prevail and the words of the boy preacher were lost In a wild shout that continued for many minutes. Winter Itnrlnt? Killed.
