FRIDAY, JANUARY 29.

1897.

AND now a set of men are actualiy proposing that the leading nations of the world have a conference and establish the price of wheat at a profit paying figure. There is just as much sense in this as in the proposition to fix an arbitrary price for silver—and just as little.

INHKBITANCK tax laws are attracting the attention of American legislatures as an easy and very effective method of making the wealthier classes pay their proper proportion of the public expenses. By this method property is taxed when sequestration is impossible and undervaluation improbable.

IK the Legislature does not absolutely prohibit the cigarette or make the license so high as to be in effect prohibitive, there might as well be no legislation. The bill favorably reported to the Senate fixing the retailer's license at $50 a year is little better than nothing. There is absolutely no excuse for the cigarette. Let us abolish it altogether.

THEBE will be-little opposition to the anti-high hat ordinance among the ladies of Crawfordsville if the council will also pass an anti-expectorating ordinance prohibiting the tobacco chewing fiend and the catarrhal gentleman from defiling the iloors and corridors of public places. The ladies, no doubt, will agree to let the gentlemen see the stage if the gentlemen agree to keep the floors clean.

Ir the members of the Legislature did not have so many railroad passes they would not go home so often. And if they did not go home so often they would accomplish more. Where is the member with the nerve to Introduce and push to a yote an anti-pass bill so that the State of Indiana may see how many of her servants are tools of the railroads? Such a man will deserve further honors from the people.

AN Indianapolis correspondent of the Chicago

Rccord

tells of a great Re­

publican political machine in Indiana which proposes to defeat Lew Wallace. W. R. McKeen and 11. S. Taylor for Senator in 1899 and elect some friend of Senator Fairbanks. 0/e have only this to say, that

in

our

ODinion,

such a scheme will not be supported by Mr. Fairbanks. Indiana soil thus far has not been favorable to political machines and we hope it never will.

THAT amendment to the constitution providing for the election of Senators by the people direct is worthy of serious consideration. The tendency to hold public otlicials more closely responsible to the people is growing and it iB a good sign. In Indiana the legislature has seldom defied the will of the people in choosing a Senator, least of all this year when it selected Charles W. Fairbanks, but in machine ridden States this is hardly true. And Indiana may not always be so fortunate as to be without a machine in one or both parties.

THK announcement of the practical acceptance ly the Government of the plan of the Reorganization Committee of the Union Pacific railroad by which the Government will receive S-15,000,-000 for the bonds and securities it now holds is received with great pleasure by all interested in closing up the matter in a way credible to the Government and public interests. This is believed by all who given the subject any study to be the verv best terms the Government could secure under any circumstances, and there is no question that foreclosure proceedings will be instituted at once.

I NUI AN A I'OLIT? iVcu'.s: Everyone admits that cigarette-smoking by boys is a serious evil: it is demoralizing and it is injurious to physical health. In some States and in many communities stringent laws have been passed to prevent or to regulate the sale of cigarettes to minors. Several bills with a similar object in view have been introduced in the Indiana Legislature. Petitions signed by thousands from all parts of the State—from every county, if we mistake not—have come to the Legislature praying that an anti-cigarette be passed. We believe that a law forbidding the sale of cigarettes to minors and fixing a penalty for its violation would be wise and proper.

AN ELASTIC CURRENCY. A recent issue of Sound Currency is a pamphlet by L. Carroll Root entitled "Currency Elasticity." It comes to us most opportunely because it contains much information bearing on the question now being discussed so generally, of "an elastic currency.1' Others have called attention heretofore to the absence of this quality of elasticity from our currency system, and occasional references have been made to the comparative superiority in this respect of the Canadian banking system but we believe that Mr. Root's is the first systematic attempt to secure information as to the relative elasticity of the leading bank currency systems of the world.

The results, which are brought out through the mediums of diagrams, are very interesting and highly instructive. It appears that the increased demand for currency at certain seasons of the year, whicn occurs in ntirly every country and is especially marked in agricultural communities, leads, wherever the banking system is not hampered by undue legislative restrictions, to an automatic increase in the supply of currency. This is shown most clearly in the diagrams, from which it appears that in the case of the Canadian, Scotch and Irish banks, English Joint Stock and Private banks. Bank of Denmark, Bank of AustriaHungary, Swiss and German banks, there is an almost perfect adjustment of currency supply to currency wants, while other continental systems are not far behind.

Turning to the United States, however, we find precisely the contrary. Not only are the banks unable profitably to expand their circulation when additional currency is required, but they actually find it most profitable to do so when money becomes more plentiful and rates of interest fall. The result is a circulation almost constant in amount as compared with the more elastic systems prevailing in other countries. It is this fact which led Secretary of the Treasury Windom to say in 1S!0: "In my judgment the gravest defect in our present financial system is its lack of elasticity. The demand for money in this country is so irregular that an amount of circulation which will be ample during ten months of the year, will frequently prove so deficient during the other two months as to cause stringency and commercial disaster. The crops the country have reached proportions so immense that their movement to market in August and September, annually causes a dangerous absorption of money. The lack of a sufficient supply to meet the increased demands during those months may entail heavy losses upon ttse agricultural as well as upon other business interests."

The comparison makes it evident that if our currency system is to be made adequate to the needs of our business, some reformation of our bank currency must be had. The pamphlet can be obtained by sending 5 cents to the Reform Club, 52 William street, New York City, and is well worth several times the price.

To the Chicago

Chrnnlclc

it would be

a matter for profound congratulation if the Populist leaders would consent to the formation of a Populistic colony, say in some Western State or Territory, where opportunity would be given them to practice their plans of reforming humanity, free from the harrassing restrictions that obtain in communities where Populists are in the minority. And then in its imagination it builds up a community ruled by "Cyclone" Davis, "Tom" Watson, "Sockless" Simpson, "Pitchfork" Tillman, "Bloody Bridles" Waite, "Calamity" Weller, "General" Coxey, "Hoy Orator" Bryan and John Pardon Altgeld, which, if left free from interference, it believes, would rise into public view the most perfectly governed community on earth, or the melancholy fate of the Kilkenny cats would be duplicated.

SI.VCK a bill has been introduced into Congress providing for the purchase of Cuba from Spain for §200,000,000, it may be well to recall that about a half century ago this Government ottered to purchase the island for a fair price, and that the offer "was considered by the Spanish ministry as a national indignity, and that the sentiment of the ministry was responded to by the Cortes. After all that has happened," wrote the American Secretary of State on that occasion, "should opain desire to part with the island, the proposition for its cession to us should come from her."

IN the United States Court at Indianapolis on Saturday Judge Woods ordered a sale of the Morion railway to batibfy the financial claims of the Karmerb" Loan and Trust Company of New York. The upset price for the railroad and equipments is fixed at S.'i,000,000. It is said tliattht. company will be organized under the name of the Chicago. Indianapolis and Louisville Railroad. The Monon has had its ups and downs and its friends hope that under a new name it will emerge and in good financial condition.

MR. FAYERWEATHER'S MISTAKE. The millionaire readers of the JOURNAL who have it in mind to make a will and bequeath a large sum to Wabash College, or found a public library for the benefit of Crawfordsville, or place the Y. M. C. A. on a permanent and enduring basis, or for any other great charitable object, should profit by the mistake of the late Daniel B. Fayerweather, the rich leather merchant of New York, who imagined when he died that he was leaving his millions to colleges ,and hospitals, one of which among his selection, it will be remembered, was our own Wabasb. For this reason the comments of the New York

Tribune

on the necessity of

rich men becoming their own executors will be doubly interesting. It says:

It is not safe to assume that the money which Mr. Fayerweather intended to give to colleges will soon be appropriated to the institutions of his selection. It is true that the Court of Appeals, the tribunal of last resort, nas decided that the trust fund placed in the hands of the executors must be distributed among the colleges picked out by Mr. Fayerweather to be the recipients of his bounty, and may not be diverted to other foundations at the whim of the executors. Tne Court said that, all obstacles to the enforcement of the secret trust being removed, it bound the residuary legatees and compelled them to keep their promises to the testator and turn over the residuary estate to the twenty colleges mentioned in the will. This would seem to settle the question. The will is proved, the trust established, and tne disposition of the property ordered by the highest authority. Nevertheless, such is the tenacity of lawyers, it may be better to describe this decision as marking an important stage in the case than as an end to the litigation.

For more than five years this case has been in court, and at every turn of the proceedings fat allowances have have been made to the counsel engaged on all sides. And now, in announcing that the colleges are entitled to what is left, the Court of Appeals makes liberal provision for all the lawyers of all the parties who found an excuse for being represented by separate counsel: and with the prospect of such pickings before them there was naturally no dearth of separate counsel for manyiallied interests. Ani, after all this, still further litigation is threatened. The famous fourth codicil, which was supplanted by the one now ordered to be enforced, and which was afterwards burned, still has its partisans. They wish to force the secret of its contents, now so carefully guarded, and threaten to tie up the estate for another five years. If this can be done, the lawyers will doubtless profit greatly. The fact that Mr. Fayerweather's wishes will thereby be further frustrated will probably not be a weighty consideration with those responsible for the delay. If any such motive had been influential in the case from the beginning, the twenty colleges would have had their money long ago, and, for that matter, all the discreditable engineering about new codicils would never have taken place. Mr. Fayerweather evidently knew perfectly well where he wanted his money to go. In his will he gave the residuary estate to twenty colleges, but later, to avoid conflict with the law, he made the secret trust of the first codicil for their benefit. That stood until four days before his death, when the engineering for a slice of the dying man's estate began. From that day to this Mr. Fayerweather's millions have been a morsel for lawyers to L'ght over and make a good living by while they fought.

Whether the end comes now or in five years, whether the colleges get the property or it is dissipated in litigation, the lesson of the case is the same. The man who wants to do good should do it while he is living. Instead of giving bis executorB the pain of distributing his money for charity, Mr. Fayerweather might himself have had the pleasure of seeing his wishes carried out. The Tilden case enforces the same truth. The larger the estate and the more eminent the lawyer who draws the will, apparently the less chance is there of the testator's wishes be executed. The men who in their own lifetimes have used their money to promote objects near to their hearts have had the fullest enjoyment of their wealth. In worits of charity it is best to be the executor of one's own will.

THK Rev. Charles E. Stowe, the only surviving son of Harriet Beecher Stowe, writes to the Hartford

Courant

in regard to letters received by him from various admirers of his mother concerning the erection of a statue of her or a monument to her memory. He says that he and his sisters regard it as their exclusive privilege to erect a monument over their mother's grave at Andover, and suggests that if anything is to be done by his mother's admirers to honor her memory it should take the form of a Harriet Beecher Stowe scholarship at Hampton, Fiske or Tuskegee. adding: "Such a memorial would, I know, be quite in keeping with my mother's taste, and far more useful to man and honoring to God than some brazen monstrosity, scowling the unfortunate beholder out of countenance from its ugly granite pedestal."

To the Editor Journal.

The JOURNAL is a welcome visitor to our Southern home, and while we enjoy its weekly visits, thought its Northern readers would be interested in a short letter from this quarter. Thus far we have had atypical Florida winter, have had a few frosts, not cold enough, however, to form ice or to damage tender vegetation as sweet potato vines, water melons, etc. Strawberries are now ripe and will continue to bear until July. Peach trees are in bloom and we are now enjoying our second crop of pears. Our locality is ahead of any other in the State in the rehabilitating of its orange, lemon and grape fruit groves. Fully ninety-five per cent of the groves are rebudded and worked up, and we expect a fair crop of fruit next year. Some trees bore quite a good crop this year and brought handsome returns—oranges, S3 per box on the tree, and grape fruit SO. One grape fruit tree that escaped the freeze of '94-'!i5 netted 81-10 this season. Our Northern friends hardly realize what the freeze of 1894 95 meant to us. No State in the Union ever suffered so severe a calamity. In one night twenty million collars worth of property was destroyed direct, and ten millions more suffered indirectly. Yet no appeal was made to our sister States for help. Our people bravely met the blow and in the spring following our transportation companies furnished seeds for planting, and our people, thrown upon their own resources, began to proouce what previously we had depended on the worth for, and more corn, oats, hey, pork, etc., have been raised since the freeze than ever was before in the history of the State, and in this line the freeze has been worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to the State annually. And even those engaged in fruit culture are giving their attention to field crops, the most profitable of which are sugar cane and tobacco, the former bringing about .$200 ptir acre and the latter two to five hundred dollars. The tobacco raised is for cigar wrappers and has proven from experiments the pastyear to equal the best Havana or Sumatra Our individual attention has been giv en almost entirely to fruits. In the spring of ''J4 we put out a grove of fifteen hundred orange, grape fruit and lemon trees. The trees were five-vear-old stock with two-year-old buds, and were fortunate enough to save our entire grove through the severe freeze of '94-'U5, and it is now coming into bearing. In addition to this we have peaches, pears, figs, grapes, etc., which do much better here than in the North. Sweet potatoes and watermelons grow almost spontaneously, and we now have all kinds of vegetables. Our locality is noted for its beautiful lakes, and these abound with bass, pickerel, trout, perch, 'gators, etc. There is no stagnant water of any kind, consequently we are free from malaria, and in our five years' residence here we have seen only one case of fever. Bear, deer, turkey, quail and pigeon are plentiful, and we do not have to go far to find them. While Miss of Crawfordsville (who is spending the winter with us) and Mrs. were sitting on the veranda a few weeks ago they had the pleasure of witnessing a deer chase up through the grove, the deer being brought to bay and killed within fifty yards from where they were sitting. The hunters presented them with a choice piece of venison, as being parties to the hunt.

Our village has a population of 250, with few exceptions Northern people. Nine families are from Indiana, the others from Illinois. Missouri, Kansas, Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania. Politically we gave McKinley 12 majority in our precinct. May give you some facts in the future.

Fill a bottle or common water glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours: a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of the kidneys. Whe,n urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order

What to l)o.

There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

A Sud Case.

Two or three days ago Mrs. Emma Cravens arrived here from Kokomo in search of her husband who had deserted her. She had with her two small children and was in a pitiable condition. Marshal Grimes interested himself in the case and Friday succeeded in locating the rascally husband at Vandalia, 111., where he is running a phonographic show. Mrs. Cravens was sent to that place last Saturday.

For Selling Without License.

Ike Clements was arrested Monday for selling liquor without license. It has been the practice of some saloon keepers to go to the court house, pay their saloon tax and then let the license go, never taking it out and BO, of course, never paying the fees. One saloon keeper is said to have run on thus for ten years. The case of Mr. Clements will doubtless have the effect of bringing all of derelicts to time.

Deafness is caused by an inllamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this rube gets Inllamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing: and when it is entirely closed deafness is the rosult, and unless the inflammation can he taken out and this tube restored lo its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrn, which is nothing but an Inliuinuti condition of the mucous stirfaces.
