FRIDAY, JANUARY 0. 18E0.

THE Republican battle cry in 1896 was "McKinloy and prosperity," and now we have tbem both.

F6r news as to prosperity read the repprts of Dun and Bradstreet as they appear in the Indianapolis Sentinel.

DKWET is coming- home, but it is not likely that he will be Bobsonized. The OBCul&tory mistake is alien to the character of the grim old admiral.

THE committee appointed from the Democratic central committee to solve the hydra-headed organ question reports no progress and mighty little hope.

THE cru'ser Buffalo, formerly the Nictheroy, does not appear to be such a gold brick after all. Her speed in crossing the Atlantic was a record breaker.

THERE were turned out from American workshops this year 1,S75 railway locomotives and 105,158 care. In the course of time the whole country will be on wheels.

SPANISH official pilferings in the Philippines during the last ten years are placed at $50,000,000. The Madrid government seems to have been chiefly conducted for private spoils.

THE total income of the American board of foreign missions for the year is 8671,717. Probably there are some isolationists who consider even this work a dangerous form of activity.

THE director of the mint says the United States holds more gold than was ever possessed by any other nation in the history of the world. It amounts to $910,000,000 and is fast increasing.

GOBMAN retires from the senate in tfkfch. Now if boss-ridden Pennsylvania can manage to unload Quay a long step will have been taken toward bringing the senate up to its old time reputation.

AMERICAN furniture was exported last year to the extent of $3,700,000, and the amount imported WSB almost nominal. Our machinery has turned the scale in this as in many other lines of manufacture.

THE excitement incident to the election of a senator should not cause the legislature to forget to load its gun for a shot at the state school truBt. This octopus needs killing and needs it badly and promptly.

TAXATION in Porto Rico next year will amount to 1,700,000 pesos, a reduction of over 08 per cent, from the Spanish budget. In addition to this the American authorities expect to spend the custom house receipts for road improvement and the sanitation of Cities.

MONTGOMERY county Republicans are divided in their senatorial preferences between Taylor and Beveridge, although most of the active workers are booming the latter gentleman. Both are superior to the three other candidates and Capt. Scott would be justified in voting for the one that could be elected.

THE following resolution was unanimously adopted by the Confederate Veteran Camp of New York: "Resolved, That the Confederate Veteran Camp of New York condemns in unmeasured terms the efforts of Senator Butler, of North Carolina (who is not a Confederate veteran), to debauch the manhood of the south by Beeking to obtain pensions for ex-Confederate Boldiers from the United States, and that any similar effort by any southern member of congress will be abhorrent to the camp and meet with unqualified condemnation

MAJOR GENERAL, LAWTON, whose command did such excellent service in front of Santiago, has been ordered to the Philippines. He will be next to Major General Otis, ranking officer, and will probably command the army in the field. This means that it will be well handled. By the way, it is painful to remember that Gen. Lawton is the man whom President McKinley and Secretary Alger wished to place over the Indiana troops at the beginning of the war, but who was finally, under the protests of Indiana pop-in-jays, turned down for tin soldier McKee. Had Gen. Lawton been over the Indiana troops the story of Indiana's part in the war would have been much different. Lawton's influence and reputation resulted in hia command being most conspicuous at San Juan.

PRINCIPLES OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT. One element of the success of our national government and the State governments is the constitutional provision in all of them separating the legislative, executive and judicial functions. One very important reason of the failure in township and county government is the combination of these different sets of duties in one office. County commissioners levy taxes in their capacity as legislators, and later on in their capacity as executive officers spend the money so raised. They also have a job lot of judicial duties. The same is true of township trustees. These officers are virtually czars accountable to no one during their terms of office. In proportion to the extent of their jurisdiction they are more powerful than the President of the United States. The President can do nothing more than execute the laws passed by congress and can spend no more money than congress appropriates. The township trustee and the county commissioners make the appropriations and also dispeses of them. All the checks and balances so carefully and wisely arranged by the fathers a century ago are omitted. The fundamental principles of the reforms being agitated in Indiana are those underlying the national government, the separation of the different functions, legislative, executive and judicial. The county legislature composed of a member from each township is to meet once or twice a year to levy taxes and make appropriations for various purposes. The commissioners are to be the executive arm of the county and spend the money as appropriated by the legislature and no more. The township trustee is to be the executive of township, the tax levy being fixed by aboard of five representative citizens. In both cases the executive may recommend the amounts which in his judgment are needed for various purposec,and the tax levying board may appropriate these amounts or less, but not more. These same principles are embodied in the modern city charter and have proved admirable in practice. Their success in township and county affairs is assured if given a fair trial.

AS TO DIVORCE LAWS. The church people of Indiana who met in Indianapolis yesterday and took action looking toward a revision of the divorce laws of the state showed a woeful lack of both judgment and knowledge in their recommendations looking toward a much needed reform. The proposals for legislation that Bhould reduce the causes for divorce and that provided for the passing of a year from the time of filing the suit to the trial of the cause were set aside as impracticable and in their place the most impracticable suggestion of all was adopted and after being incorporated in a bill will be presented to the legeslature for passage. This bill will simply forbid the marriage of a divorced person ifor a period of two years after theigranting of a decree. That is all. oThe suggestion is just Buch a one as might 'be expected from a tea-sipping coterie^ of rural parsons and sympathetic si6terB whose hearts are all right_but whose knowledge of mankind and theyoopholes of the law is

Badly

deficient. Such legislation

would merely ^cause the applicant for divorce to smile and go right ahead sawing up brocaded silk for the trousseau incident to the|next matrimonial venture. Do the framers of this proposed law gforget that the good old commonwealth of Indiana is surrounded by other states where folks who happen to have the price about them can take upomUhemselves the joys marital and, jj-peradventure, martial? The forbidding of new bans under two years could only be effective in Indiana and the journey to another state in quest of ^happiness would only constitute a pleasant little wedding trip. For example,tsuppose the proposed bill in force aB a law and Mrs. Blank an applicant for divorce from Mr. Blank and incidentally the betrothed of Mr. Dash. The divorce is grauted her here in Crawfordsville and the judge with suitable solemnity forbids her marriage under a period of two years. She sweetly smiles and passes out of the court room. At the door she is met by Mr. Dash, who has a carriage in waiting. They are driven to the station and two hourB later are in Danville, 111., standing up before a minister who is pocketing a fee that ought by all that is right to have gone to swell the fund of a HooBier parson. The suggestion of the Indianapolis conference might do for embodiment in a national law but for a state law it is simply ridiculous. It could be operative only on parties too poor to pay their railroad fare to the nearest state and some cases not then for there are those whose love is strong enough to walk.

The best suggestion for a divorce law was that requiring the interval of a year between the time of the filing of the suit and the trial of the cause. There are objections to this but then the subject is not one where every prospect pleases. It is the experience in every Indiana court that: where the period of three months elapses between the filing of divorce suits and their trial that the per cent of those

dismissed i6 over fifty. Half of the divorce suits filed are filed by partieB in the heat of sudden anger and in many cases where divorces are granted soon after the filing of a suit the clerk is called upon within a year for a cement to reunite the shattered fortunes. If the legislature of Indiana is going to enact legislation along this line it should go to experienced judges for its p.dvice and not to a well meaning but impracticable lot of reformers.

THK anti-expansionists have had much to say about the sufferings of the soldiers of the Spanish war, and have predicted that it would be necessary to resort to conscription to obtain the troops needed for garrison duty in the colonies. The Fourth United States infantry served through the Santiago campaign, and is now under orders to the Philippines. The Fourth contained a certain number of enlisted men under the act for the temporary enlargement of the regular army. These men are now discharged upon application. On Tuesday 102 of them applied for their discharges and received them. Then 72 at once re-en-listed, showing that their experience in Cuba and the certainty of more trop'cal service had no terrors for them. It should, perhaps, be explained that the honorably discharged soldiers who re-enlist obtain certain advastages, and for this reason the 72 asked for their release. The fact that more than two-thirds of theBe men, free to leave the army, desire to remain in it, knowing that they were destined to serve again in the tropics certainly looks like a substantial refutation of the Blanders circulated by a yellow journalism.

HENRY WATTERSON in all the recent political campaigns has been a free trader among free traders. In the Democratic convention of 1892 Mr. Watterson overturned the moderate tariff plank introduced and advocated by President Cleveland's supporters and put in its place an extreme free trade plank, declaring that protection was robbery. In that campaign and in the campaign of 1890 Mr. Watterson would admit nothing to the disadvantage of free trade, even when he was faced by the disastrous consequences of the Wilson act. When the Dingley bill was introduced in congress Mr. Watterson was one of its severest criticB.

Yet he now admits that "from a collar button to a locomotive there is nothing now "produced in America which is not produced cheaper and better tlmn its counterpart in Europe. So much goes to the credit of the protective system."

HERE'S the way the year's business appears to the two great mercantile agencies:

Dun's: '"The year has not only been one of victory, of important increase iu territory and of incalculable expansion of the influence of the United States among other nations, but

haB

surpassed all other years in financial and industrial results. The center of financial power has crossed the ocean."

BradstrecVs: "Concisely stated, the reports received as to the year's business in all sections of the country point to an unprecedented volume of domestic and export trade, which is reflected in bank clearances that break the high record of 1892. The general level of prices of staples and securities at the close of the year is at the highest point reached for five years past. Railroad earnings exceed all previous years, and finally there was a smaller number of failures and lower liabilities than reported in any year for at least five years past."

THE Democratic Louisville Times 6ayfc: "Those who are crying out against 'imperialism' are fighting a shadow. Sovereignty by conquest is an anachronism. The victories of the future are those of peace, and in ex pandiDg Uncle Sam has set the pace for the rest of the world. He has not come to bring a sword, but truth, light and liberation to the distressed everywhere, and January 1, 1899, will take rank in history with July 4. The benevolent and somewhat sentimental old gentleman may mako mistakes, but his heart is in the rigiu. place and he will never go far wrong. Strength to his arm and clearness to hi6 vision!"

ADMIRAL DEWEY, according to a press dispatch, considers it absolutely necessary that a first-class statesman be sent to Manila to investigate thoroughly the situation and ascertain the aspirations of the Filipino republicans. He further states that the United States must accept their responsibilities in the Philippines which have been acquired by conquest. If they should shirk this duty, he says, they would put themselves back two hundred years in the world's history.

THE house adopted the anti-polyga-my bill in 1887 by a vote of 202 to 40. That was a Democratic congress. If the anti-polygamy sentiment is as strong in a Republican congress Mr. Roberts, of Utah, may not take his Beat.

MORE miles of railroad were built in this good year of 1898 than in any year since 1892. Is it a mere coincidence that these prosperous years were both under Republican administrations?

MORE GEETING NONSENSE. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Geeting will recommend to the legislature to amend the statute governing the issuance of teachers' license. Instead of requiring the county superintendent to grade all manuscripts, as is now the case, he will recommend that the county superintendent be required to conduct the examinations as before, then number the manuscripts, which number shall correspond to tne proper name kept by him, and these shall be sent to the state superintendent, by whom, with the assistance of a board of competent educators, they shall be graded as to scholarship. These grades shall then be sent to the county superintendent, who shall supply the proper name and report the grades to the applicant. He recommends also that licenses shall ba issued for 13, 24, 36 and 60 months, valid in part of the state.

This bill lik| all other legislation connected with the name of Geeting, smacks of jobbery. It is simply a pernicious project to foist upon the taxpayers of Indiana a high salaried commission to do work that belongs strictly to the office of the county superintendent. It is a fact known to every superintendent in office that if the applicants were held strictly down to the merits of their papers that not nearly enough teachers could be obtained to fill the schools. The superintendent is obliged to exercise some discretion in the matter of grading manuscripts and must occasionally give a little lift in some branch to a deserving applicant. It is well known that some of the most successful teachers in our schools have great difficulty in making the grades necessary to secure license—many have to be helped. On the other hand some of the most notorious failures in a school room make the highest grades. The proposed commission would take good care that only those making the requisite grades obtained license. A failure would mean that the applicant would have to take a second examination and the more manuscripts there would be to grade the more work there would be for the commission. The more work, the more would be the salary and the greater would be the number of men given employment on the commission. Hence the greater the commission as a political factor in the way of patronage. When the state teachers' association recommended the passage of that bill it recommended a meat ax for its members. But then the association cuts only a sorry figure anyhow. It is manipulated by the state superintendent and his underlings and does what he tells it to do. Most of the teachers who attend these meetings Bpend their time sight Beeing —tnat is, most of their time—and those who attend all the sessions do as they are told by the high and mighty, having no more idea of the import of their vote, than a fresh Filipino has of etiquette at a Browning tea.

Will Locate In Iudlauapolig. Dudley H. Jackson has resigned his position as cashier of Elston'a Bank and went to Indianapolis the first of the year to enter business with Nicholas McCarty Harrison. Mrs, Jackson will join him toward the last of the month and they will make their permanent residence in that city. Mr. Jackson's place in the bank will be taken by Carl Scott, who has been with the institution as bookkeeper for several years and who is admirably qualified for the position. Henry B. Hulett, ex-clerk of Montgomery county, will take Mr. Scott's place as bookkeeper.

Sometbing About Wabash College.

Yes, this i3 Wabash college. The name indicates that this is the spot. The undulating surface, the generous soil that gold washings could not enrich, the wild flowers in the shadows and the grass in the sunshine, green and tender as happy memories of life's Halcyon days, and these tall arborescent remnants of a fiora never to be renewed, all declare that this is the country of the Wabash. And these structures, unique in form and yet social in arrangement, infusing the essence of their being like the flowers of a garden into the air around, all suggest the culture and sentiment, of the college. I have been told by one who was there that sixty years ago last January the old dormitory building on the south of the ground had just emerged from the plastic hands of the builders and the faculty and students on a wintry morning gathered in chapel to start out on a new and long career.

Corporations, they say, have no souls. Well, they don't need any in theory they are immortal in their make. Wabash college is yet here in the vigor of its youth, but the faculty that so joyfully gathered in that unfinished hall at the beginning of the year 1838 have long since abandoned the frailties of mortal life and assumed relations with institutions whose charter of existence is as eternal as the author that made them. Dr. Baldwin, the president of the college, occupied the seat on the rostrum, read a chapter from the Psalms and invoked the divine blessing. The members of the faculty were ranged with him upon the stand. There was the keen, incisive E. O. Hovey, professor of Latin and general manager. He looked after and saw everything. His range of duties covered every department frbm policeman to chaplain. He could conduct the morning services, reading and prayer, in the most exemplary manner, and no boy in the crowd could play a prank so stealthily but that he would be discovered and called up to answer for it. There was the genial, kind-hearted Caleb Mills, that always wore his glasses on account of his modesty. He was Drofessor of Greek and the standard and exemplar of good humor and piety. The toy that would dare to do a mean act in his presence was verging close unto depravity. Prof. John Thomson was in charge of the department of science and mathematics—a close, quiet student who handled theorems, equations and axioms as a modern school teacher does kindergarten toola.

Dr. Baldwin was a man of unusual attainments in learning. He had left a high position as a minister in one of the leading churches in an eastern city and had come out west to link his fame and fortune with a new institution whose destiny was yet to ba determined. He was not distinguished for his social qualities and did not seek personal popularity, but the dignity of his deportment, his abhorence of shams and empirics in learning was always apparent. It was the mountain of rock that he admired rather than the shifting sand dune piled up on the sea shore. His personal qualities became so firmly impressed upon the in" fant institution that these characteristics remain with it to-day. If I had the time I should like to tell Bome incidents I have heard about the young barbarians who were sent up there to be civilized. They came from all quarters, from Sangamon to the Muscatetack—from the cranberry marshes on the north to the sasafras bowers on the southern boundary of the state. The college in its career performed heroic wonders in turning out from the raw material scholars and divines, warriors and statesmen. The boys who came to them were ttafe rough, untutored sons of nature, but in tbem was inbred the true germ of American citizenship, and their college career is safely embalmed in each one's memory, to be refreshed when the old old scenes are revisited. H.

From Fort Apache.

Prof. W. W. Ewing, who has charge of the Indian schools at Fort Apache, Ariz., has sent some of his friends some Indian trophies for Christmas presents. Bea William3 Monday received a pair of buck horns, Ward Williams received several arrows and arrow points, and Paul Williams was made the recipient of an Indian fiddle of curious design. Mr. Ewing will be home in March for a visit.

Death of George Henry.

George Henry, near Garfield, died Saturday morning, after suffering for over two years with a cancer. He was about thirty years

»ge and lived

with his- mother. He also leaves a wife. The funeral occurred Monday at 11 o'clock at Young's Chapel, Elder Plunkett officiating. Burial at Oak Hill.

Hand Horribly Torn.

Saturday evening Earl Walker, an employe of Everson's mill, caught his hand in a rip saw and had it literally split open. Two fingerB were cut off and the whole hand may be loBt.
