Politicians who would win a high place in the estimation of the people and would receive honor at their hands, may well make a study of the life of Claude- Matthews. Much will le found therein most worthy of imitation.

every nation in Europe is

thrusting her hand into the Oriental grab-bag. China is going and whoever gets the first "grab" may pull -out the largest province. Italy is the latest to demand the concession of a port in San Mun bay ''for a coaling .station and naval base." Poor old China! For centuries snugly ensconsed behind her walls and deserts and mountains, '"like Mr. Finney's turnip she grew and she grew, and she didn't do any harm." She grew large and rich, but she did not grow .strong, and so her riches will compass her destruction. If the white, man feels it his duty to take care of the Chinese, then "the Chinese must go." There is no question but what such a "sense of duty" is impressing itself upon several nations just now, and the outlook for the Celestial kingdom is not particularly

Governor Mat tin was a rare eharneter in public life. It was his jieciiliar good fortune to win the respect and highest confidence of all parti s, regardless of political affilation. The sterling honesty of the man aud his openness of purpose appealed to the mass of the people and exerted an influence which is utterly unattainable by a man who is a time-serving partisan no matter how brilliant he may be. He set up a high standard of manhood, and lived up to that standard in both public and private life. He believed that a man should not have one standard for a man as a private citizen and another for the man as a politician. It speaks well for the future of American politics that a man •without brilliant parts to win popular applause could gain such a following by sheer force of character. The example of Governor Matthews will long exert a wholesome influence in Indiana politics. Indiana, whose name was almost the last upon his lips, may well be proud of her noble son. He wasatruemau,and a real representative of the mass of the people. He thought as they think, and took a just and conservative view of matters pertaining to the welfare of the state. He was one of the people, and therefore one of the ablest champions of their]cause

is much rejoicing among Re-1

publican editors over the retirement of Henry U. Johnson. He had developed such an uncomfortable habit of telling the truth, as he saw it, that as a public man he lx'came quite impossible. He got to going aud they couldn't stop him. It is extremely doubtful whether the fact that he is not in Congress will stop the vigorous expression of his opinion. His utterances may not always le wise,—and from the standpoint of a politician they certainly are not,—but at least they are sincere. And perfect sincerity is rather a refreshing quality to find in an end-of-the-eentury statesman. His honesty is worthy of admiration, however much his opinion may

love of adventure is a potent

element in the Anglo-Saxon character. Plenty of men are found who are ready to enlist for the war in the Philippines. The President has the appointment of 101 second lieutenants under the bill for the reorganization of the army. Only twenty thousands applicants are now besieging him for appointment to the places. The thirst fqr military glory is a wide-spread disease. It would seem that the taint of barbarism still lingers in the white man's blood.

Six new cruisers, 1,000 tons, each, larger than the Maine, are to be built at once. They are to be equipped with the most formidable guns obtainable. If the enthusiasm for the creation of a navy continues we shall soon have one of the greatest in the world. A navy is a costly luxury, not only to build but to maintain. The most modern of ships may be out of date in a few years, aud all must be liegun anew. It is sometimes burdensome to wear the dignity of a worldpower.

TIIE

Fifty-fifth Congress has "out-

heroded Herod." The celebrated "bil-lion-dollar congress has been brilliantly surpassed. The appropriations this time are only .81.566,000,000. It is estimated that this will cause a treasury deficiency of not less than $100,000,000. Where shall it come from Where it all comes from, of course. Taxes must be adjusted to meet it. It is true that a niggardly policy should not be pursued by this government. That is entirely contrary to the spirit of Americanism But at the same time prudence and sound judgment condemn wasteful extravagance. As we grow, the expense of government must necessarily grow, but that expense should not increase faster than the growth of the country warrants. The people will pass verdict 011 the action of this congress at the next election. Their verdict is final, and will justify or condemn this vast expenditure of public funds.

of sympathy to Mrs. Itudyard Kipling liecause of he. husband's critical condition. Aud now the press reports say that William had an "object in view." He desires to show his friendliness to the United States, etc. Poor monarch! He cannot be credited with an honest human feeling, but being an emperor he must necessarily be filled with some deep and

THE

fever for forming combinations

has struck the tramp, and now one Ralph Role, the King of the Hoboes is making arrangements to perfect a tramp trust for mutual aid, protection aud comfort. Whether this happy combination will be able to save "Weary Waggles" from the stone pile, the buck saw, the irate farmer and his bull dog, or whether the tram}) trust can teach an unfeeling world to trust the tramp is yet mere theory. Like some other incipient trusts it is only an experiment as yet.

far off California the precedent^ set by the members of the Indiana legislature is being followed. They are trying to elect a United States Senator over there, and a slight difference of opinion as to the merits of candidates led to a nose pulling and a fist fight.

DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS LOADED.

Did Charles Leisure When He so Inopportunely Went off and Hangled His Nephew,

James.

In the Circuit Court yesterday'morning, the

case

of the State against

Clias. Leisure, charged with an assault with intent to kill, made upon the person of James Zigler was called for trial. The parties were ready and the trial proceeded. Zigler is yet in a very much damaged condition, and his wounds are still swathed in many bandages. He was rather a sorry looking spectacle, and not-with-stand-ing his reluctance to testify against his uncle, told a clear and straight forward story of the attack .which so nearly ended as a murder. The testimony of other witnesses was coroborative, and showed Mr. Leisure in a very bad light. They thought that he was not laboring under any special form of hallucination that had swooped down aud gathered him in for that occasion. He seemed to them not so much a good man who was unfortunate as a bad man who was acting as a bad man sometimes does. It was not insanity but depravity under \Yhose influence he labored.

Mr. Leisure himself, however, took quite a different view of the matter. His recollection of the early part of the evening was remarkably clear, lie knew when, where and how often they drank. His good judgment at last admonished him that it was best to go home. Then his good judgment, memory and the rest of his mental faculties deserted him, and he knew 110 more until he awoke to find himself a prisoner, and with a serious charge against him.

His attorney made an ingenious and eloquent plea to show the great natural goodness of his heart and the friendly relations existing between the two men, and that nothing short of a temporay fit of insanity could have caused such an outbreak. The case went to the jury about 3 o'clock and at 1 o'clock a. 111. an agreement was reach eel, and a sealed verdict handed in..'

The sealed verdict of the jurv in the case of the State vs. Charles Leisure was opened yesterday morning and it was found that the jury had agreed 011 a verdict of a fine of $100 and a jail sentence of ninetydays. Mr. Leisure, as he languishes away the sentence, may congratulate himself that he got off so easily. It is not a trifling matter to make such a murderous assault, and the fact that it was a drunken brawl is little excuse. A man who puts himself into a condition to commit crime, and then does so, should be held responsible, for his acts. Drunkenness is not a legitimate excuse in such a wise. Half the criminals in the country would go unwhipped of justice if drunkenness removed responsibility. Viewed in any possible light Mr. Leisure has escaped with a light sentence and it is to be hoped that lie 111a}* conclude to take 110 such chances in the future. It might end quite differentlj' on a second trial.
