The Review.
By the Review Co.
THE question of an "open door"policy in China, is the all absorbing question before the great powers. Russia is for free trade as being most conducive to the advancement of her interests, in view of the building of the transSiberian railroad. If the views of Sir Charles Beresford may be regarded as representative England will make ••»verv effort to prevent the growth of
Russian influence. The lines are being more closely drawn, and it seems that the partition of the ancient Empire of China is simply a question of a very short time. The consequences will be far-reaching and of interest to the whole world. We hear nothing of the "duty" of the nations to China but it is discussed on the plain grounds of expediency.
MILITAIRISM is the curse of Europe. It has been the ruin of the Latin races. He is not wise who does not seek solution of present problems by the assistance of the light of history. Conditions never quite repeat themselves, but general principles may always be applied. There is much room for thoughtful consideration of ancient history in dealing with some of our own problems now calling for attention. We need wisdom as well as enthusiasm.
THE Illinois Supreme Court has rendered a decision upholding the claim of the Manhattan Cement Company for damages from the city, for injury received in the railway riot of 1894. This means that counties and cities •will be held liable for mob violence. The case will undoubtedly reach the I'nited States Supreme Court. It is a question of the greatest importance to the public.
WASHINGTON'S birthday came as a blessing to the over-worked Indiana Legislature. After the heavy burden carried for the past few weeks a day of freedom from the cares of looking after the people's interests is,no doubt, a great relief.
AHE party pledges made to be kept The five Democrats who stood by the platform upon which they were elected and saved the township reform bill in the House evidently think so. The party that redeems its promises will have the support of the people.
THE Filipinos still maintain a warlike attitude. A call to arms and a demand for vengeance has been issued 15*. to the natives by one of their prominent leaders. for

[ASH YOUR] DOCTOR! I
Ask your physician this ques- I tion, "What is the one great I remedy for consumption?"
He will answer, "Cod-liver oil." Nine out of ten will answer the same way.
Yet when persons have I consumption they loathe all I fatty foods, yet fat is neces1 sary for their recovery and they cannot take plain cod- I S liver oil. The plain oil disiurbs the stomach and takes away the appetite. The dis- 2 agreeable fishy odor and I taste make it almost unendurable. What is to be done
This question was answered when we first made
'9
EMULSION
I
of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypo- I phosphites. Although that was nearly twenty-five years ago, yet it stands alone today the one great remedy for all affections of the throat and lungs.
The bad taste and odor have been taken away, the oil itself has been partly digested, and the most senI sitive stomach objects to it rarely.
Not one in ten can take and digest the plain oil. Nine out of ten can take SC01TS EMULSION and digest it That's why it cures so many cases of early consumption. Even in advanced cases it brings comfort and greatly prolongs life. I

THE leaders of the Republican party in Congress have conceived a new plan for breaking up the "Solid South." This is to be done through a hitherto unapplied provision of the Fourteenth amendment. According to this, representation may be scaled down to the basis of a voting population. This is expected to greatly reduce the power of the South in Congress, and of oourse in the electoral college. Representation must necessarily be reduced wherever voters are disfranchised. A bill, which has this object in view, has been introduced by Mr. Crumpacker, of Indiana. It must be done through the census, and its consequence will ba far-reaching if put into effect.
Some very interesting developments may be anticipated.
which are being made
COMPARISONS between Washington and Aguinaldo, by some enthusiastic admirers of the latter, are not all particularly happy. It argues a strange unfamilarity on their part, with the great character of Washington to mention them together for a moment. We believe that Washington was all that was high and noble. But Aguinaldo displays many traits which would be despicable in any man, while in one who aspires to leadership they are little less than criminal. Let us not degrade our conception of Washington by such comparisons.
AND now it is rumored that France will go to war with England, in order to divert attention from her troubles at home. A more disastrous move could not be made. This is said to ke the plan of President Faure, and that possibly M. Loubet may follow it. It is to be hoped for the sake of the whole world that no such piece of folly will be committed.
THE Iiulianapolif News report.-, a Rushville family as enjoying pie i»ade from currants canned in 1872. After twenty-seven years the fruit was in perfect condition. What a pity our beef can tiers are not in possession of the recipe used in this successful piece of work.
GENERAL ALGER serenely continues to demand that the record of almost every officer in the army be investigated.—and everylxxly insistently demands that Gen. Alger's record be investigated. Who is guilty? The preponderance of evidence will show.
THE Duke of Orleans is adding his mite to the troubles of his country. He should rememljer that the divinity that hedges Kings has very little to expect from Frenchmen. The man who wears a crown in France will find ..his head lying "iun is\ indeed.
IRON and steel is reported as advancing in price at a phenominal rate. And this is cited as an evidence of the coining of an era of prosperity. And all this is after the trusts were formed. "He who runs mav read."
PRESIDENT LOCBET greatly strengthened himself and added to the safety of France by his wise and patriotic message to the French Parliament. Everything indicates that the selection of M. Loubet was a very wise one.
EVIDENCE still accumulates that the beef furnished our soldiers was very bad. A valuable lesson, at least, has been learned. Experience has taught us something about handling troops in warm climates.'
Going to the Capital City. The club of Catholic young ladies, of this city, calling themselves "The Daughters of the Knights of St. John," sixteen in numler, by special invitation will give an exhibition drill at Masonic Hall. Indianapolis, on St. Patrick's eve. These young ladies give a silent drill of twenty minutes which is simply superb. They have been drilled to perfection by Capt. John Drury. who also has brought perfection to the famous drill corps of the Commandery of Knights of St. John of this city. To see these voting ladies in costume, moving for twenty minutes in perfect silence, and going through the many fancy figures with the regularity of clock work is a sight worth going to see. Their fame is spn-ading abroad, and we bespeak an enthusiastic reception for them at the State Capital.
firs. Woodruff Dead.
A telegram received from Gibson City, 111., by James McCoy, jesterday, announced the death of his sister, Mrs. Samuel Woodruff. The deceased was Iwrn and raised in Crawfordsville, where she had many friends who will regret to learn of her death.
-Bora to Mr. and Mrs. Wm. M. White, Feb. 22, a son. The boys in the Auditor's office have named him George Washington.
THE LEGISLATURE.
Notes of Business Transacted by Our Representatives. v|,
A. F. Ivnotts, Representative froiii Lake county, declares that he was offered $",000 to drop the H?mmond harbor bill.
Governor Mount has signed the bill granting Mrs. Morton a 'pension of $100 per nit .nth.
An act to permit the constraction of free gree roads under certain condition has secured the signature of the Governor.
A bill amending the Nicholson act. has been introduced. It makes the remonstrance good for two years instead of to the next session of the commissioner's court.
Over 1,000 bills have been introdeed in the present Legislature. Of the House bills to date, 165 have been passed, 183 killed by committees, and 124 still pendiug 15 were killed by striking out the enacting clause. The House has received from the Senate 112 bills, of which 38 have been passed. Still there are people who think Legislators have an easy time.
The general appropriation bill as introduced, aggregates SI .052,."00.each year for two years, and the specific appropriations aggregate 5811,398 each year. If the bill for the completion of the Soldiers' Moununient and the erection of the additional hospital for the Insane become laws, the specific appropriations will exceed $1,000,000 per annum.
The amount of the proposed appropriations has frightened the Republican leaders, and they have sent for Boss Henley to attend their caucus.
The State Auditor declares that the proposed appropriation bills if passed will drain the treasury on the basis of the present valuation and tax rate. So if there should be a shrinkage of valuation this year, the State will have to issue bonds.
Fees and Salaries.
Mr. Hedgecock has introduced a fee and salary bill in the House which provides for extensive raises in the salaries of county officials. Some of the provisions are as follows:
It helps the county clerk by providing that he shall receive the fees now allowed by law for work done for the county and 10 per cent, of all fees turned into the county treasury in excess of his salary.
The auditor, is allowed one-half of one per cent, on all school funds loaned, which fees shall be paid him in addition to his salary, and no per centum, shall be charged on funds remaining in the county treasury. For making all records oh pike roads and ditches he is allowed cents per 100 words.
The recorder is allowed in addition to his salary the fees now allowed by law for running titles for school fund loans, and a sum equal to50 per cent, of the fees collected in excess of his salary.
The county treasurer "is allowed in addition to his salary one-fourth of one per cent, on the first §100,000 of current taxes collected and one-eighth of one per cent, beyond that amount.
The sheriff is allowed in addition to his salary $2 a day for attending court and on removing persons to any of the state institutions lie shall receive six cents a mile, as mileage and on top of this 20 per cent, of all fees collected and turned in in excess of his salary.
Then follows a section repealing the section of the fee and salary law requiring county officers to earn thensalaries l)efore drawing them.
The bill provides that all salaries and compensations shall be paid punctually quarterly out of any funds the county may have on hand and not otherwise appropriated. All laws in conflict with the bill are repealed and then clause.

Mr. Dickey.
Alfred S. Dickey, so long a resident of this city, now of Jamestown, N. D., stopped off in this city yesterday. He is on his way home from Cuba. He reports an enjoyable visit to the island. He states that the Crawfordsville colony around Jamestown would not leave there under any circumstances, they like it so well. Mr. D. is still in politics.
Hand Burned.
Yesterday while engaged in repairing a leak in a Green street gas main, David Pine struck a rock with the pick. It gave forth a spark which ignited the gas in the hole where he was working. and a hand was the result.
