FRIDAY. MAY 26, 1899.
THR people of Crawfordsville will commend the council in the extention of any reasonable encouragement to the public library.
THE press dispatches announce that Grover Cleveland has just concluded a bass fishing trip. We thought at the time Grover worked that sugar boom that he was mean enough to catch basB off the nest and now we know it.
QUEEN VICTORIA has been on the throne Bixty-two years and the Prince of Wales, now a man of fifty-eight, must acknowledge that he will hardly reign as long or be as good a man as his mother.
ADMIRAL DEWEY is an ardent expansionist and when he reaches home what he hat to say in this connection 'will have a material influence on public thought. He is a man whom the people trust and his declaration that he is out of politics will give weight to his ideas on colonization.
IN three weeks the passers of the hat for poor, homeless Admiral Dewey have collected 83,700. Three weeks iB about one.sixth of the time it will take the Admiral to get home, and at the present rate the Belf-constituted committee will have about 825,000 of the proposed 8250,000 by the time the unwilling beneficiary gets home.
THERE is nothing BO shockingly false and malicious about that whippingpost cartoon of a French newspaper. Malefactors of both sexes are still being publicly flogged in Delaware, and only the other day Gov. Roosevelt intimated that it would be a good, If not the best, way of punishing certain classes of offenders in New York.
A FETT cities In the United States have tree planting associations compoped of private individuals, and they can be credited with good work. One city, Minneapolis, gives municipal encouragement to tree planting, and the beauty of its residence streets is noted by visitors. In Paris the Bhade trees have long been looked after by a systematic deparment. Along the boulevards and
avenueB
Ik
are 86,400 treeB, all
registered and constantly inspected. Plane trees are the most numerous, though there are many chestnuts and elmB. The public Beats under them 'number 8,300. Their maintenance costB 865,000 a year. PariB would not part with them for any money. ThiB subject should commend itself to the people of Crawfordsville. For years the groves of CrawfordBville have given her a reputation for beauty all over the country. In guarding jealously our trees we are guarding one of the chief attractions and values of the place.
THAT TALK OF A SWORD. A number cf Indiana newspapers •re busily engaged in agitating a movement to raise money with which to buy a jeweled Bword for the brave and distinguished General Lawton. Is not this movement a little cheap? Does it not smack of rank toadyiBm? Above all does it not call up an unpleasant incident of the past? Only a little over a year ago President McKinley offered to place General Lawton as brigadier over the Indiana troopB enlisted for the ^Spanish war. Did Indiana then talk of buying a jeweled Bword for this distinguished officer? On the contrary there was a regular howl of rage and repudiation. The tinseled militia officers and the toad-eating newspapers of Indianapolis fairly frothed in rejecting the proffered services of a real soldier, and loudly insisted that the cheap, inexperienced and uninfluential Mclvee be placed over Indiana troops. They had no difficulty in gaining their point. There were plenty of other brigades ready and anxious for the honor of following Lawton. The result we remember. Indiana's troops rotted all summer at Chickamauga while Lawton's brigade won the laurels of renown at Santiago. Then Indiana newspapers awoke to their mistake »nd ever since have been throwing
tfceip hats in the air and emitting a vast deal of stinking breath. The very newspaper which sharply criticised THE OBAWFOBDSVILLE JOURNAL for espousing the cause of "the alien Iiawton" as against that of the "gallant Indianian, McKee," is among the very loudest of these noisy worshipers. If a sword is presented Lawton by Indiana, on its blade should be engraved an abject apology from Indiana to her
brave son she BO wantonly insulted, and the acknowledgment of an terror which cost the soldiers of the state the glory they might have won at the cannon's mouth.
