Too Many Administrators on the

Estate of the Late Ephraim

Wheeler.

The tragic death of the lata Ephraim Wheeler has stirred colored cirdees in the city, over the question of who shall administer on the estate of the dead man.

Ephraim did not have a great deal of this world'sgoode, bat had accumulated duriug his iong and rather eventful career, a choice lot of "razzers" trinkets, "hokeyboes" and such articles as are doted on lay the average negro. Zack with all good intent, desired to sell the collection of brac-abrae, and devote the money to paying Tillio Mansfield, who had waited on the old man in nis last sickness, for her services. Constable Byers, however, thought the rights of the relatives had been invaded, amd raised a row. Williams went on about his business ant! allowed the doughty Con&table to continue his merry making. Byers put himself into communication wit Mrs. Rachel Collins, of Indianapolis, who is now in the ring with her "mad" on aud proposes to "meek it vahm" for some body and Mas informed Williams that he had "bettah git out o' dah. an' let dat propatah 'lone. She has hired a lawyer and the end is not in sight.

The indications are that General Aguinaldo was a little previous with his Bhooting irons at Manilla. It would have been best for him to have waited a few days.

The convention of the Federated Women's Clubs of the 14th Illinois District in convention at Pekin, 111., has declared by resolution against the use of the portraits of women tor advertising purposes in any way whatever. They ask the passage of stringent laws prohibiting the use of woman's face, form or any portion of tin* figure for advertising purposes, and that all manufacturers or dealers in liquors, malt, or tobacco in any form be absolutely forbidden under heavy penalties the use of'woman's face or figure in advertising their goods. This is a move decidedly in the right direction, and the prayer of the ladies should be granted by every State legislature, and the law when enacted should be rigidly enforced. This is the sort of woman's rights for which every man should plead, in the interest of home and purity. We hope the agitation will be kept up.

Mtb. General Wallace h«6 succeeded in stirring up considerable of a yellow jacket's nest by her strictures on' the cramming of children now being indulged in in our public schools. It ie high time that borne one came to the rescue of the innocents. The crauiming system has been invented by the faddists and theorists in educational matters, and they need a genuine set back. Let Mre. Wallace continue. Her one article has not exhausted t^e subject

Hon. P. S. Kennedy, of this city, one of the best constitutional lawyers in the state is an outspoken opponent of expansion. Mr. Kennedy in Tuesday's Journal says: "Washington said: 'Our true policy is to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world.' In his farewell address he demonstrated this propositijn by arguments that never can be answered. Vet men are thoughtlessly denourced as traitors to their country because they are opposed to departing from the policy of Washington. Our present perplexity proves more conclusively than anything else has ever proved that Mr. Gladstone was right in denominating Washington, tho wisest and greateFt of men." No one will question the Republicanism of Mr. Kennedy, yet he is too patriotic to fall down before the bombast which now rules that party. He is a llepuolican of the old school, and his opinion is worth considering by some of those young fire-eater who

shout about the are able to do."

The misrepresenting newspaper man has gotten so mo at tent ion paid to him by'Representative Bro6ius, of Penn. The newopaper mvn in the case was a correspondent of the Toledo Commercial. Mr. Hrosins was hot and steaming. and in Congress the other day, he roasted the news paper man to a finish, and in winding his description of a a man woo would thus misrepresent another, he said: "If that man had been born a beast he would have been a panther if a reptile, a lizard if an insect, a bedbug but being born a man, he can only be a villain and a liar.-'

With no gas and no electric light, the citizens of Crawfordsviile have been freezing and using tallow candles and such lights as they could find this week. This office purchased wood at the rate of 19 sticks for twenty-five cents, aiid the force worked by tho light of gaeoline torches. It has been a joyous time for all concerned. If it were not true that corporations had "neither a body to be kicked nor soul to be damned," some corporations would have suffered this week.

Congressman Landis lias Iicpd invited to speak at Portland, Maine, on Lincoln's birthday. The young orators of Hooaierdotii seem to be in demalul of late. Mr. Deveridge orated hi6eelf into the Senate of the United States, and there is a well grounded suspicion that .Mr. Landis has his optics focused on the seat now tilled by Mr. Mount, when that worthy gentleman shall retire from yolitical life to the shade of the cherry trees at his "t'ahm home."

Some wiseacre in the Indiana Legislature proposed to extend the life of the Appellate Court to six years from March, 1897, and continuing the Judges in oflicejtwo years longer than they were elected. The bill passed the llouee under tho lash of the Republican caucus whip. It is a bill to help the, Republican incumbents to two more ye.ars at the pie counter. Mr. Echorn moved that it be re-committed, after having shown its absurdity, but the! motion was tabled by a strictly p?rty vote. Once having hold of the: r"blic teat, a Republican is hard to choke off. The bill is an outrageous piece of spoils legislation. 11

To the man who loves freedom, there Partner

is something grand about the pluck of *\rm

of Aguinaldo aud his army of Filipinos. They deserve to stand in history with the Light Brigade and Spartans at Thermopohe. l'hey stood and fought for liberty as they understood it. With bow6 and arrows they stood for hours facing a long line of Uncle Sam's trained blue coats, artillery, Krag-Jor-gensen rifles, rapid fire guns and heavy tire from war ships. Men who will fight thus for liberty are no mean creatures. It will strike the average free American that we are doing the wrong thing in not making provision for local self government instead of proposing to annex thorn and make them slave citizens of the country against their will, thus adding to the already heavy "burdec" of the American "white man."

Men speak lovingly of the "good "old timaB." No wonder, for they did yt Have natural gas as a fuel, nor a gas trust to deal with.

The county reform bill in many of its aspects will be a picturesque failure. The working Republican politicians see it, and are sore. They deelare it means defeat at the next election. "Why," said one of them to the Commentator, a few days ago, "the darned fools have made the bill a caucus measure. Its got to go through, and as a result we'll be licked out of our boots at the next election."

The following resolution offered in tho Senate alter the ratification of the peace treaty, went by default. "That by the ratification of the treaty of peace with Spain it is not intended to incorporate the inhabitants of said islands into citizenship of the United States, nor is it intended to permanently annex said islands

AS AN INTEGBAl. PART

Of the territory of the United States. But it is the intention of the United States to establish on said islands a government suitable to the wants and conditions of the inhabitants of said islands to prepare them for local self-government and in due time to make such disposition of said islands as will l.-est promote the interests of the citizens of the United States ami the inhabitants of said islands." The Republican majority will not agree to anything of that sort. It would put an end to the prospects of rotten borroughs in the Philippines with carpet baggery galore. In a speech denouncing the action of the majority Senator Tillman quoted Kipling's poem,"The White Man's Burden" which he regarded as fitting the case before the American people. He said: "Every man in this chamber but five, who has had to do with the colored race voted against the treaty. We of the South have borne the 'ttie white man's burden.'

It was handed down to us by your father and mine, and it clings to us like the 6hirt of Nessus." Hip plea was to the effect that the incorporation of the mongrel races of the Philippines would only precipitate a race struggle. "There are two cities in the Pacific, over which our fiag floats to the breeze. Over the one it is a harbinger of peace, good will, prosperity and liberty. Over the other—

Manilla—it is cold-blood and deter-

The Fine New Residence of firs. Liz

zie Voris Burned.

Tuesday morning at 5:30 the alarm of (ire was sounded and the new residence of Mrs. Lizzie Voris, on south Water street, was found to be in flames. Thelire was discovered by some students rooming in the house, which was occiipied by Mrs. Voris and her mother. Tlje students, Evans, Mull and Peters, gave the alarm and rescued the women just in time to save them serious injury, tho aged mother having to be carried from her room a few moments before the ceiling fell in. But very little of the con tents of the building were saved. The ffre, it is thought, originated from an uninsulated electric light wire in the room occupied by Mr. Mull.
