FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1900.

IT really looks as though the ship subsidy bill would be knocked out in the first round in the senate. The American people are opposed to subsidies on general principles. There arc some good things to be said for this bill but there are many more bad ones to be said against it.

THE Tribe of Ben Hur will increase its membership about 2,500 this month. Here is an institution that is doing Crawfordsville a world of good and proving a blessing to the town. It has grown without the aid of a brass band and stands to-day just about the biggest bonanza Crawfordsville ever had. The beauty of it is that its future is inl]nitely greater than its past.

SALT LAKH Tribune: There was a pretty clean sweep in Nebraska. The electoral votes were for McKinley and Roosevelt: the Republican candidates for the state oflicers were elected in the new legislature the Republicans will have a majority on joint ballot and will elect two senators. We do not beiieve that Mr. Bryan will ever again be any directing force in politics in America except, perhaps, as a.Populist.

IT has been proposed to alter the state laws so that justices of the peace will be remunerated by salaries instead of fees. There is much to recommend the change provided the number of justices be radically lessened. There are too many ot them auyliow and the little dignity which once attached to the ollice in'Indiana is lost by reason of the multitude that hold it. Crawfordsville has about as much use for three justices of thc'peace as she lias for mounted police or elevated street car tracks.

THE legislative bill providing for the direct election of the county superintendents by the people will not be a partisan measure, it is claimed. A number of the Democratic members are radically in favor of it while some Republicans are opposed. The bill will probably pass and become a law and it will be a decided step forward in school management. The trustee superintendent machine has worked evil in the past'and there is but little good can be 'said for it. The sooner senators and superintendents are elected by the people the tetter it will be.

Now that the Osborne murder case has been disposed of, it might be well to call the grand jury together to return a 13w indictments for perjury. So long as this abominable offense goes unpunished, -just so long it will be recklessly indulged in by vicious men and women. TheAnables, Bannistei's, and several witnesses in the Osborne case were guilty of llagrant perjury in the Eilis inquest and they should be handled without gloves. The sending

prison would injure no one and would be in the nature of a wholesome lesson in a community where it is badly needed,

TJIE bill providing for the appointment and retirement of Representative Boutelle, ofJMaine, as a captain in the navy, has been'Javorably reported to the house. Mr. Boutelle»has, inconsequence of continued ill health, resigned the chairmanship of the house committee on naval affairs,(and Representative Foss, of Illinois, who has been acting chairman, has been unanimously elected ..chairman by the committee. In the case of the death of a chairman of the committee, the speaker has authority to appoint 'his successor, but when a chairman resigns, a committee fills the vacancy.

COL. WATTEKSON has been looking over the electiomiigurcs. and he grasps a truth which he expresses with characteristic plainness. He finds that, in comparison with 189(i, there was a falling olT in 1900 in the Bryanite vote in nearly every southern state except Kentucky. The aggregate decline in that section he puts at 225,000. "It should be borne in mind," he adds, "that these losses were made notwithstanding the material increa of the south's population and qualified voters during these four years. Without the south the Democratic party'of to day is nothing. It is now time that the Democratic mparty were getting back to Democratic nrincioles."

THE CASE OF CI" UA.

St. Louis Globe-Demi if Some doubt is expressed as to wnetner the Cuban constitution will be put in shape early enough to be acted upon by congress during the present session. As this session will last three months there does not seem to be much reason for any fear of this kind. The Cuban constitutional convention lias now been in session about a month, ana though very little work seems to have been done which could be made visible to the naked eye, no doubt much ground clearing has been accomplished which can not be represented objectively. Constitution making is an entirely new business to the Cubans, who have never had any experience in self-government of any sort except in the rudimentary stages in which they have experienced it under the American regime of the past twelve months or thereabouts.

It is well to bear in mind, though, that constitution making is a slow work even for those who have had some experience in governing themselves, and who may be presumed, on that account, to know what they want. The convention of 17S7 in Philadelphia which framed the constitution of the United States was in session four months, or about the length of time which would elapse from the date of the meeting of the convention in Havana to the end of the presentTcongress on March -1, next. The Philadelphia gathering, too, had among its members such practical personages as Washington, Hamilton. Madison, Gouverneur Morris, Franklin, Roger Sherman and Charles Cotesworth Pinekney. Moreover, the colonists at that time had been virtually governing themselves for more than a century.

Let the Cubans take all the time they need in the framing of their organic law. They will remain under the guardianship of the United States until their new charter goes into actual operation, and therefore there is no especial need on their part for haste. The question for the Cubans to decide is as to whether they want a republic of their own or will have annexation to the United States, and that is an issue which they will decide themselves without any interference from this country. No monarchy will be established on the island in any case. The United States will have to accept the Cuban constitution before it can go into effect, but if, in the opinion of congress, the charter which will be presented a few weeks or a few months hence is calculated to furnish a stable and progressive government congress will undoubtedly give it sanction.

CU A I KM AN PAYNE presented the report of the ways and means commitLee on the revenue reduction bill, mrv before the house, which cuts oil about $40,(100,000 a year of the taxes imposed at the opening of the war with Spain. I The report says: "In making the reduction, the committee have sought to remove the more annoying taxes, by the entire abolition of those which were most vexatious, and by a reduction of those which seemed to have proved a great burden upon the several branches of trade to which they are applied." Of the net reduction of cents a barrel on the beer tax, the report says: "The committee recognize that the manufacturers of beer have some claim in the general reduction of the war revenue, and they believe that the bill gives them all the relief to which they are entitled." It adds of I the reduction of sixty cents a thousand on cigars: "It has been impossible to distribute any of this sixty cents in making a price to the consumer, and the factories have had to bear the entire tax of over three million dollars last year.''

SECKETAHY LONO was right in de daring the opening of bids for the con-

five battleships, at the navy depart-1 ment, the greatest industrial event that this or any other country had ever' seen, involving, as it will, the expenditure of a sum aggregating in round figures $o0,000,000. It spoke volumes for the industrial progress of this country, and especially the progress of ship building, that there should have been quite a number of bidders for these contracts. In no country outside of Great Britain are there as many establishments equipped for the construction of these big fighting vessels. Most of the bids were well within the amount appropriated by congress for the ships.

REPRESENTATIVE TAYLOR, of Ohio, who led the fight on Roberts, has introduced in the house a measure for a constitutional amendment prohibiting polygamy and providing for a uniform system of federal marriage and divorce laws. This matter is being actively agitated in Washington. Yesterday a public anti-polygamy meeting was held under the auspices of the Woman's Interdenominational Union, for the purpose of working up sentiment in favor of the proposed constitutional amendment. Among the speakers were Dr. Josiah Strong, president of the league for social service, of New York, and Dr. Sarah j. Elliott, of Utah.

THAT there is to be no delay by the senate in disposing of the HayPauncefote treaty, which many friends of the Nicaragua canal bill wish to see

ratified before that measure is taken up by the senate, was shown by the ease with which unanimous consent was secured to vote on the Davis amendment to the treaty on Thursday of this week. This amendment, written by the late Senator Davis, merely declares that nothing in the treaty shall apply to anything this government may see fit to do to protect its interests or to maintain order, is certain to be adopted, and it is believed that the ratification of the amended treaty will speedily follow.

BECKHAM, of Kentucky, in his inaugural address as governor, prayed for a cessation of partisan hatred. This cheap hypocrit should consider the situation. He is holding an office which of rights belongs to William Taylor, now a refugee from political persecution of the basest sort. Beckham and the political cut-throats of Kentucky by the aid of a vast sum of money have purchased -perjured testimony, bought juries and corrupted courts enough to convict innocent men of the assassination of the foulest political hyena who ever disgraced a state. If Beckham really desires a cessation of partisan feeling he should give evidence of his wish bv endeavoring to undo some of the wrong he has done.

THE fact that ex-Congressman Towne should have been willing to accept the appointment as Senator to succeed the late Senator Davis, whose successor will be elected by the Minnesota legislature in January, indicates that he was waiting for any old thing that might come along. Towne has been posing all along as a "silver Republican" but when sworn in he very correctly took his seat among the Democrats.
