The Review.

By the Review Co.

THE committee on election of President and vice-President reported •favorably on the proposed constitutional amendment prohibiting the election of polygamists to Congress. The amendment should certainly be made as soon as possible. The existence of polygamy is a disgrace to our civilization—« crime against God and man, whose presence we have tolerated to our shame. It should not be temporized with for an instant longer. It is a crime and as such it •should be dealt with. The tolerance of the American people is proverbial and that is well, but when such a moral cancer as polygamy is gnawing at a section of our social] fabric the knife should be ruthlessly employed for its removal. All right thinking people will heartily support any measure which promises to destroy this hideous piece of moral deformity. The opportunity to do so is all that is required.

THE discussion in regard to the drawing of a salary of §5,500 by Gen. Eagan while he is suspended, has elicited a statement from a number of army officers to the effect that there is 110 authority for such payment. If justice is to be considered at all, there is little room for doubt as to what should be done. If a man is sentenced to receive salary like that for conduct like Eagan's there will jprobably be no dearth of Eagans in the future.

THERE is no difference of opinion among the soldiers who ate the canned leef at Santiago. The only people who say it was not bad are the people who canned it, and who «lid not eat it. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." Whom shall we believe? The men who ate, or the men who canned 1

The Republican "reform" and "antireform" crowds are at each others throats in the closing days of the session. The caucus has broken up in a row and the king bee has resigned. Those who bolted the reform bill are feeling the pressure. They defeated the Hammond harbor bill, just because a bolter was anxious for its passage. Then a dozen of them joined with the Democrats in defeating the Fort Wavne charter bill, which was a political scheme of Judge Taylor to do something under color of law which they could not do at the polls, that is get hold of a few city offices under a non-partisan act. Then the other side rushed through the claim of the Vincennes University and added §120,000 to the now overweighted budget. Governor Mount has announced his intention of vetoing this bill, and also the bill for the erection of an Epileptic Asylum at Columbus. The Governor has also served notice on the obstreperous majority that the general appropriation bill must lie cut very materially or he will veto that. He says the party has been unwarrantably extravagant in its appropriations, and they must cut them down to some amount withir. reason or he will kick the whole thing over. The Governor seems to realize what sort of "reformers" he is dealing with, and proposes to do what little he can to save the credit of his party in the state. The doom is written, however,and this is the last round for many years of Republican missrule in Indiana.

EMPEROR WILLIAM has ordered tjie German fleet to leave Manila, and German interests are entrusted to our care. The Emperor has gracefully abandoned the war-like attitude and everything is serene. There have been some very disturbing rumors in circulation within the past few days, and a clash was not unexpected. But now all is changed, and the Kaiser is suddenly filled with "sweet reasonableness." Both America and Germany are to be congratulated. The "arbitrament of war" is a costly way of settling national differences and in fact, is seldom necessary. Christian civilization is pointing a better way, and the abandoning of the old methods of blood and iron, cannot come too soon. The action of Germany is particularly gratifying, as it was wholly unexpected. The whole world has considered that William is constantly "spoiling for a fight," and his present movement is in the nature of a surprise. True, it may be a piece of fine "diplomacy'' 011 his part, but we can afford to impute to him the fairest of motives, and meet his friendly overture, at least half way. It cannot injure us and in many ways will be advantageous. Let us shake hands in heartiest friendship with our German brethren, and so long as possible maintain the amicable relations.

REPRESENTATIVE COCHRAN asserted in debate in the House the other daj' that the testimony of Generals Anderson, Greene and Merritt conclusively shows that the Filippinos rigidly kept their compact made with the Americans, while the Americans as flagrantly violated theirs. We are open to the charge, and justly of keeping "Punic faith" with the Indians. Are we to pursue the same policy with other inferior races? If this is the way we are to teach them the beauty of liberty and justice, it may be long before the scales fall from their eyes. For the sake of the great name of this great nation, we must be nothing less than absolutely just. We must be magnanimous in dealing with these people if we would not put a lasting stain upon our national honor. We stand before the world asserting that our intention is only to establish law and order and give the blessings of civilization to these races. The method we employ to accomplish that end must be humane and just, or we shall surely be condemned in the eyes of the whole world.

THEY made beef stew— fresh leef, old beef, canned beef stew, and noncommissioned men who testified before the Court of Inquiry were required to taste these stews, each and all. This original method of establishing the credibility of witnesses may be very effective in such an investigation. Doubtless we shall yet have the honorable office of professional beef-taster established as a permanent part of our war department. He would have found ample occupation for his talent within our recent history.

Esther Wykoff has been appointed administratis of the estate of Catherine Wykoff, deceased.

GOVERNOR MOUNT has vetoed the Columbus Hospital Bill. He gives figures aud very pertinent reasons for his action. Among other things he says: "From statements made by gentlemen of the House and Senate, must conclude that their action in support of the bill did not correctly reflect their judgment as to the wisdom of its passage at this time. Several of the supporters of this bill have pleaded for its defeat and have requested its veto. When personal obligations, instead of the public weal, control lawmakers, then the exercise of the veto power becomes not only a virtue, but a necessity."

Tl^is is sound "doctrine" and will meet with the general approval of the public. Men who have not the courage to vote for their conviction but, ask a Governor to save their constituents from the folly of their represent atives, cannot be retired from public service too soon.

All the insane of the state can be cared for at other hospitals, by a slight increase of facilities and at a reasonable expense. We do not need a new hospital and the position of the Governor is to be commended. No unnecessary burden, if you please.

A CAUCUS of the Democratic members of the House has agreed upon a policy in regard to the Philippines. The essence of the resolution is that a colonial policy is contrary to the theory of our government, in-as-much as it is based upon the idea of selfgovernment. It also urged the adoption of a resolution by this government disclaiming any intention of permanently occupying the Philippines, but when a government shall have been established to transfer to that government our claim, based upon the Spanish cession, 011 terms just aud reasonable. This is in all probability the attitude on this question which will be assumed by the Democratic party in the next campaign. It is conservative and just to all parties concerned- a fair proposition to which a liberty-loving and right thinking people can find no objection. It will be simply carrying out pledges which we have made in taking up the quarrel of Cuba. Simply because pledges were not made in regard to the Philippines when we entered upon the campaign, does not absolve us from a plain duty. "Equal and exact justice to all men" is the corner stone of our institutions. We dare not abandon it lightly for a temporary gain,

A Stiff Remonstrance.

The people of Waynetown are again after the scalp of Tom Herron who has once more applied for license to set up a drunk factory in that flourishing town. They are circulating a remonstrance which is being signed by many against the granting of a license. Those interested say they will find no trouble in procuring the necessary amount of signatures.
