The train that brought Allen U. Thur
man and party arrived at 0:20 o'clock Fri
day evening in Chicago. Mr. Thurman
m assisted Jrern the train by Jehn A.
King and Oolleetor Heeberger. Supported
en either side by these gentlemen, the Old
Reman passed through the crowd thatfllled
the depot te the carriage In waiting te con
vey him te the Palmer heate. A coon M
Mr. Thurman alighted from the carriage
the crowd began te cheer and wave their
bandanna. He acknowledged Ihe greeting!
bv raiting his hat and bowing aa he went
aieng,
Arriving at the hotel, Mr.-Thuruian was
taken at once te IjIb rooms, and, atter rest
ing a tew mementa, he waa escorted te the
elnb room, where the reception committee
or the County Demoeraoy were awaiting
him. Addressing the reception committee,
Mr. Thurman said he saw before blm Deme
era', and, therefore, reasonable men. As
aueh be was sure they would net ask him te
make a speech, lie thanked the committee
very cordially for the honor et which he
waa the roetp'.ont at their hands, and
hepad that when the sun set en election day
next November It would set en victory.
Ue felt net only honored but encouraged
by their presence. They were lighting In a
righteous cause and whatever labor It might
cost was labor well bestewed. At the close
of bli remarks Mr. Tburman'a attention
was directed te the table behind blm en
which rested a mammoth floral bandanna,
and Mr. Jacob Richards, in behalf et the
traveling tuoaet the country, p relented It
te him, but when be told them he had only
three hours sleep the night before, had
travelled 300 tnlles and male nine little
apeeehes snob, as they were, they would net
It slat en bis making tbe tenth.
lie knew tbey would be willing te let
blm de the wise thing husband hli
strength for the barbecue speech.
Thanking them, he hoped tbey would let
him get something te eat, for he was hun
gry, and then go te bed, for he was tired.
The crowd choered heartily and dispersed,
and Mr. Thurman retired te fellow out tbe
pregramme et dinner and sleep he had laid
out for hlmsell.
The rotunda of the hotel was tilled te Its
utmost capacity with entbuatastle Demo Deme Demo
erats who wanted te sce Judge Thurman,
Mr. Phelps tried te obtain silence long
enough te tell the crowd that Mr. Thurman
was very tlred, and request thorn net te In
sist upon Mr. Thurman appearing, but the
crowd, divining what Mr. Phelps wanted te
say, gave him no rbsnee te say anything at
all, and the committee were obliged te re
quest tbe old Reman te again prejent him
aelf. When Mr, Thurman appeared the
ebeers and abeuta were rodeubiod. When
silence was restored Mr. Thurman made
few remarks.
At Lmatng, Mich , en Friday ex-Gov
crner Begole and a reception commltteo
met the Thurman party at the edge of
town. An ontlinslastle crowd greeted them
In town with a band. Several tbeusand
peeple were waiting and oheered bis re
marks. Judge Thurman was introduced
by Qeorge H. Durand, et flint, and was
greeted with great encore. Ue returned
thanks and expressed bis rogret at his
Inability te speak at length, lie called at
tention te the surplus In the Untted States
treasury, and the constant increase of the
aame by luians of the high tarllt, whose
effect en labor was about te be considered
by him when the train pulled out, leaving
a cheering and enthusiastic crowd. Along
the wayside people waved handkerchiefs
and hats, and gave otber expressions of
their hearty geed will. Darand Junction
and Trowbridge gave greetlngs briefly but
heartily, and tbe train kept en Its way te
Liinslng, whose nine thousand people bad
prepared for a greater and rnore enthusias
tic rf caption. Fer seme time bofero reach
ing Lansing the Judge slept peacefully in
tbe ear, having leat sleep te make the early
start Friday morning.
At Charlette, Mich,, a band and a crowd
of ever 1,000 people were at the Lansing
depot when tbe train roacbed there, and
tbey gave a hearty welcome. In response
te calls, Judge Thurman spoke suostan suestan
tlally as fellows, alter bowing In acknowl
edgment el the apnlause thai greeted him :
"1 am greatly obliged te yen for tbla warm
and hearty welcome. I would like te make
yen a speech, but have net the time. I ean
only say 1 am grateful for tbe civility, and
hope you will nil turn out as well when
electlnn tlme conies, and It will be
particularly grateful te ma lr you will
vote the Democratic ticket "
At tbla point the venerable Judge Chris
tlancy climbed upon tbe car and received a
very cordial and bearty greeting from Judge
Thurman, with whom he was associated
in tbe I'ntted States Senate, and te whom
be presented n trlendly persenal note. Alter
speaking his ploamue at the meeting, Judge
Thurman took up blri discussion et tbe
tariff, remarking that " the tarlfl la a tax
from your bats te your beets. If you don't
want te pay the tax en them you should
vote tbe Democratic ticket. Toe question
of the campaign is between a low tax and a
high and outrageous one. This tax la tbe
means of an Immense amount of money
being new locked op in the United States
treasury for whlnb tne government had no
mers ub6 tban a horse haa for live legs. It
is money we all need, and the tax tint
causes Its accumulation Hheuld be abol
ished." Heme 1 full eh In the crowd prosantej toj tej

subarbs of ilattle Creek it was evldent that
a big crowd was en hand, and the arrival at
the depot made It oertaln that the pseple
were trying te outdo all that bad gene be be bo
eoro. The crowd tilled all tbe space about
tbe depot, net less than r,000 people being
present, eager te bee the Old Reman. A
big cannon and a brsss band helped te glve
expression ti tbe people's enthusiasm, and
was added te with yells, cheers and the
wavinu of hands, bats, lUgs and bandan
nas, Colleotor Ward, of Pert Huren, In
troduced Judge Thurman, and his recep
tion waa all that could be desired, hearty
and prolonged eheerlng greeting his ap
pearmcr. In substance he said :
"Whin I was told 1 should pans Battle
Creak I asked what great battle bad been
fought ou that place that Bheuld give lis
name te the beauttlul city. 1 have been a
great reader of history, but never saw any
account of tbe matter. I turned te Mr.
Ward and asked him, knowing be was a
native et the place, and be informed me
that a number of years ate there was a
battle here between government surveyors
and Indians, and that the surveyors
whipped tbe Indians. Frem that moment
my heart was drawn out toward you, for
when I was a boy I was a surveyor and I
could net feel but kindly toward you 1
would gladly repay your courtesy and
kindness, but I am unable te de se. lhave
here all tbe paongers en tbls train who
are thinking mere about tbelr dinners than
any apeeehes, and they would take me by
the threat If they don't get something Inte
tbelr threat?.
"J have been In many political battle,
but never belere In ene se stranirn as this.
I have heard a great deal of what Is called
humbug, but never bofero did I bear
speakers arise and tell the peeple that It
waa well for them te be taxed heavily. It
lathe first time I ever heard a man could
be made rich by taxing him. The govern
ment collects mero man it has neea ter,
and, after raying tbe expenses of govern
ment, alter paying pensions te gallant men
Who fought through the war, It has millions

te anybody, bnt is depriving the people of
the use et what would de se much te con
tribute te their comfort, nsefulneai and
happiness."
In answer tn a question he started te
spesk of tbe Mills bill, which, he said, only
reduce tbe tax aud benefits labor, but the
train start!.
yickiburg and Cassopells ware ready
with orewtli and greeted Iba special with
much applause. At Seuth Bend a crowd of
2,000 people swatted the arrival of (be train
and heartily, with three times tbret cheer,
welcomed the appearaaee of Judge Thur-
Uentreaaman Hhlvelv. whose home la at
Seuth Bend, Introduced the Judge, who
substantially said t
'Four years age I had the privilege and
honor or speaking many times in the goodly
stats of Indians, and hope my efforts then
bad something te de with the vote etat for
drover Cleveland. 1 am glad 1 have the
privilege of speaking new, although we
have bnt few minutes for time, tide and
railway trains wait for no man and I hops
before tbe election that I may have the op
portunity te speak many times te the people
of this state, and Indiana will be found en
tbe side of the people that la, en the sldeef
Democracy. If yen de your duty, as four
years age, I feel assured that vlotery once
mere will be en our banners, and will show
that Damoeratlo government In Amerlea
ia for the benefit of mankind. In this
beautiful and prosperous elty I admit that
your prosperity Is, te a great extent, due te
the enterptlid of the manufacturers When
I was a boy we kept up the celebration et
tbe Fourth of July and always had the
toast : "Agriculture, Commerce and Man
ufactures," which was written by Jcffer
son. It waa he who aatd agriculture waa
the greatest Industry, but oemmerce end
maoursetures were Its handmaids. There
ia no truth In the story that Dsmocraey is
opposed te a manufacturing Interest of the
oeuntry rightly understood. All we ask la
fair play and equal rights tbat none be
made a privileged class. The Demoeraoy
are particular Irlends of the laboring men,
fur out of 100 Democrats nlnety nlne are
working men."
The usual demonstrations et applause
were made aa the train pulled out of Seuth
Bend en tbe way te Valparaiso. At tbat
place nearly three thousand peeple wel
comed the special, and In response te tbelr
cheers, the Judge said he would " leave
the atate with a higher opinion of It than
ever before, and If you Und it agrneable
and in your conscience te vete the Damo Dame Damo
oratlo tloket, I'll think mero of you than
ever."
After spealtlng of bis trip through tbe
Btate four years age, and asking Democrats
te de tbelr duty that tbelr lleket may be
elected, he again thanked them for tbelr
courtesy and cordiality, and the train
moved out amlds tbe ebeers of the crowd,
Thnrtnan On the Mem tie.
Judge Thurman has glven hla views en
the president's message. lie heartily In
dorses the president's attitude upon tbe
question et retaliation upon Canada, and
has net hesitated te nay se te theso nearest
te him.
On the train en the Journey from Pert
II uren te Chicago tbe Judge, alter reading
the presldent's message, talked quite freely
concerning It, giving It Ms hearty Indorse Inderse
meut and congratulating Mr. Cleveland
upon the bold and statesmanlike stand he
had taken en this Important question. "It
shows tbat the presldent has both a bread
and a comprehensive grasp of tbe situation
and understands It thoroughly. I en
dorse the recommendations the president
has made In his message. The country can
trust Mr. Cleveland becanse of his conser
vatism and geed Judgment, He 1b self
reliant, and at the same time will net re
fuse te listen te the advice and opinions of
these In whom he has confidence. 1 oannet
go Inte the merits of the case new, bscause
I have net glven the subject the careful
atndy it deserve-, bnt It is plain te see tbat
the president haa gene ever the ground
carefully. The message Is calm and digni
fied, and dees net Indulge In tbreats,theagh
it is evidently the work et a man who seen
his duty clear and dees net besltate te per
form It. Mr. Cleveland Is thoroughly In
earnest lu everything be does, and be takes
no step which he dees net feel will result
in benefit te tbe country."
Judge Thurman said he did net think
tbe present agitation would disturb tbe
relations new existing between the
United States and England. Theoeuntrles
thoroughly understood each ether, and
while there might be marplets who wenld
like te see trouble grew out of tbe fisheries
question tbey would be disappointed. The
effect of the message would be beneficial
In this, that It wenld lead Its thorough dis
cussion and consideration, and tbls waa
what was wanted. The matter was net
auillelently understood at the present time
by tbe peop'.e of tbls country for Instance,
but tbe man wbe had read the message et
the president could net fall te get an Insight
into it whleh would enable him te appre
clate Its Importance, even had he never
heard of tbe subject before.
Judge Thurman believes that tbe presi
dent has tsken a thoroughly Amerlcan way
out of the present dlfllculty, nnd that this
tn ltself wllloemmond him mero than ever
te tbe pneple et the country, wbe are net be
blinded by partisan prejudice as te be un
willing te gire credit whero It Is Justly due.

The following la from lengthy editorial
of the Philadelphia Ledger, a Republican
newspaper disposed te be fair In Its com
ments en all subjects :
In a special message, dignified In Its
tone, forcible In Its terms and convincing
In the position he assumes, tbe president
Invite J tbe attontlen et Congress te the con
dition of strain consequent te the recent
rejection et the fisheries treaty by
tbe Senate. It was an easy enough
thing for the " Upper Heuse " (as It is
miscalled lu tbls country) te take a party
vete en that treaty without giving much
thought te tbe condition of allalra whleh
immediately snte-dated the negotiation of
the treaty, or taking thought et the fact that
Its rejuotien would threw the relations el
Canada and tbe United Stales back upon
that situation back Inte the midst of the
exasperatiens among tbe fishermen en both
sides el tbe line, and the bitter agitations
prevailing among tbe "Yankee" and
"Bluenese "Jingoes at tbat time.
Tbe Ledger reviews the history of our
relations with Canada, showing tbat we
have reason te te tired of free transit and
sonorous dealing en our part, met by tells
and unrefunded taxes and restrictions en
our tratlle through Canada, Just as the
Yankee fishermen get restlve tinder tbe
treatment they recelved at the hands of
the Canadian authorities. New, since the
Senate's rejection or tbe treaty we are
thrown baek upon the old situation, le
meet It again face te faee wltb Its annoy
anees, vexntlnnB, Irritations, agitations and
rlrks of collisienand even If we should
avoid these with the certainty et tbe de de
structleu of all amicable, neighborly feel
ing. 1 t Is tbls condition te whleh the president
Invites attention in the masterly message
he has Just sent te Congress. Although It
Is the Senate's re lectien of the treaty tbat
makes tbe necessity for It, the message is
stut te both heuse, ter It Is Congress that
Is asked te act. The president net only
states tbe case and makes the plea, but he
suggests tbe remedy, whleh la te bring tbe
"Btuenese" fishermen, authorities and
"Jingoes" te a reallrlng sense of tbelr bad
behavior In the matter of ,the obstructed
flshorles, tbe refusal te let our fliber
men transport their ' oateh" duty
free through tbe Dominion, and as te
their one-sldod reciprocity In the matter of
commercial transit Thesoenllod "retalia
tory act" et 3d of Mareh, 1887, pasted by
Congress te enable tbe president te strike
baek at tbe Canad Ian authorities ( It occasion
should demand), is entirely Inadequate as
he advises Congress as It might entail as
muen or mere injury te American interests
aa damage te the otber aide. He recom
mends such legislation aa will empower the
president te suspend tbe operation of all
laws and regulations permitting tbe transit
of goods (in bind) ever Amer lean territory
te nnd from Canada ; and also sneh legis
lative action as will give te Canadian vesis's
navigating American eanala precisely the
aame advantages glven te ours en Canadian
canals and no mere applying te them the
same rule of discrimination.
The message and tbe legislation sug
gested are wlse, statesmanlike and Just.
They Bheuld be appeal le tbe patriotism of
senators anil representatives as te lift tbem
above all petty party considerations. There
hia been far tee much of this upon tbe fliri
erles treaty already. While tbe Republi
can majority of the Senate may feel tbe
message te ue a retlectien upon the oeurso
they pursued, they should remember that
It was what tbey did that makes the met met
ssge necessary. They may get their Innings
yet by promptly onaetlog tbe legislation
tbe prealdenc suggests and sending It at
ence te the ileusu, or by aa promptly en
dorsing similar action by tbe Henso. The
very last thing tbey should de la te mount
the "high horse." There Is great danger
of being thrown outef tbat saddle.

Tbore was a deposition in Congress yester

tbe rtreumstan'cs and conditions alfectlntr

Congrees should net give the president
any mere discretionary pewer In this mat

and XXIX In a formal manner as seen as

James Whltoerob Riley, the Western
dialect poet Is struggling vainly wltb his
father, a melons; Republican, who has
declared for Cleveland and Thurman. Mr.
Riley admits that he has "lest his grip en
the old man."
Said Miss Clenevleve Klnsel, In an ad
dress recently delivered before a farmers'
Institute at Ureenwleh, O.: In 1800 our
government owed 2,800,COO,000 interest
bearing debt, when wheat was flPO

passed ever H. 000. 000, 000 have been paid
ent In Interest and In red notion of the prin
cipal of that debt. Te-day tbe government
ewes bnt 1,400,000,000 Interest bearing
debt Just one hair tbe erlntnal amount,
and wheat la t0 cents. On am blnsh tbla
seems like wonderful recuperative and
debt paying power, and the world se apeaka
or It ; bnt te the farmers of the United States
who have paid Iba f 1,000,000,000, and new
have all the Interest and halt et the debt
paid, there Is this appalling fact apparent :
It will take 20 per cent mere bushels of
wheat te-day at R0 ennti le pay the remain

tl 90 htve paid the whole debt, 12,800,000,

A Great Maiintaclurer en the Tariff.
Fer the education of the people of tbla
country en the subject et the tariff, whleh
will be going en for tbe Jext three months,
there ean hardly be a mere valuable con
tribution tban that given In the statements
of J. R. Sargent, of New Haven. Mr. Sar
gent Is probably I he largest manufaoturer
of hardware In the world, and he Is
said te be the largest employer of

views are net the result et theorizing, but
et long experience and extended observa
tion and study of Industrlea In aetual oper

turera or this country, If tbey can have raw
materials free, will" need no protection
against these el any oeuntry In the world.
On tbe oentrary, tbey ean employ mera
labor at higher wages. The element of

with ether countries Is net labor, but
materials. Notwithstanding high wages,
labor Is se much mere effective here
tban in ether oeuntrloa tbat it costs less

The best paid labor lathe cheapest, and Mr.

Te the Ilonerallf tht Court of Quarter Hei
lleni -
The grand Inquest beg leave te report
that the district attorney placsd In tnelr
hands 112 bills of Indlulmeut Trnn bills
were found In 101 et these cases and 39 bills
were Iguered. Tbe remaining nlne were
net acted upon en account of the abaence of
the witnesses.
A number of tbe bills Ignered and also
seme of these returned as true bills were et
a very trivial character and should net
hate Ijecu returned te court
The system of multiplying lndlctmenls
practiced by seme aldermen and Justices el
tbe peace te wblch tbe court called special
attention, we feel constrained te enmaemn
as a Bystem et robbery as bad, It net worse,
than many et tbe trivial crimes returned by
these would-be conservators of tbe peace.
We felt disposed te carry out thu sug
gestion of tbe court tn tmpose the
costs upon the etllcers who are believed
were Instrumental in reurnlug unneces
sary Indictments, but found tbat only such
were multiplied In wblch costs could net
be Imposed upon tue prosecutors or oui eui
curs. Tbe numerous cress actions aud the
many wltneeses aubr cuaaed en trivial case
are particularly reprenenslble, and it it be
porfslble for the district attorney te lessen
such Indictments or any means ean be do de
vised te correct tbese abuses tbey should
be speedlly put into execution.
Tne inability te dispose of mero tht a half
the cases at a regular seBilen of court se tbat

Is cause of much extra expense In the I

the appointment of an assistant district at

As Instrneted by the court the grand In
quest visited the institutions of I he county

The grand Inquest would return thanks
