FKIDAY, MARCH S. 1901.

A f'.OOD rule for the legislature in its elosing days-: When in doubt use the as.

PETTIC.KKW and Lent'/, are now out of work and the respectable people in the Democratic them so.

party are glad to see

PRESIDENT MCKINLF.Y'S inaugural address is a statesmanlike and patriotic paper and ranks with the other state papers from the same man.

THE Hay-Pauncefot-e treaty uujcTbf default on the night of March fourth. The canal negotiations must be begun anew and it is likely that "at the next, meeting this country will be accorded more favorable terms.

MR. BRYAN'S latest attempt to boss the Democratic senators was fareial. He kept the wires hot with telegrams trying to get the Democrats to hold up the army appropriation bill, by a filibuster and force an extra session of congress, and the Democratic senators laughed at him and allowed the bill to be voted upon.

SENATOR HOAR, although over seven-ty-five years old, made a journey to Massachusetts from Washington last week for the sole purpose of attending a municipal primary. This example of good citizenship is earnestly commended to those who ignore primaries and who then expect governments to be operated as they should be.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY will follow the example of Gen. Grant, at the beginning of his second term, and send the nominations of his entire cabinet to the senate, including that of Attorney General Griggs, who has promised to remain at the head of the department of justice for a few weeks. At the last meeting of the cabinet all the members tendered their resignations, so as to open the way for their renommation.

THE idea that the conditions laid down by congress for the withdrawal of American authority from Cuba, will cause trouble in Cuba, which is heard in some quarters, is not shared by President McKinley or any member of the cabinet. On the contrary, the President and his advisers believe that the conditions will be complied with by the Cubans. One thing is very certain, they must comply with every condition named before American authority will be withdrawn. If they wish us to retain indefinite conti'ol over the island, they have only to leav6 the conditions alone.

IF it were possible for his comrades of the civil war to feel an increased admiration for him, President McKinley's action in securing the Union veterans for his personal escort from the White House to the Capitol, by personally requesting that assignment from the grand marshal of the inaugural parade, every veteran in the parade, from Gen. Dauiel Sickles, in command, down to the humblest private, looked the pleasure aud triumph he felt at being there, and that pleasure and triuph will be shared by their comrades all over the country.

THE Louisville Times, a rampant Bryan organ during the campaign, sees some things in a new light now that the election is over. In speaking of the Philippine Islands the Times says editorially: "There is not the remotest probability that we will give up the Philippines. The islands are not only rich in themselves, but as the Pacific is the predestined highway of the commerce of the future they furnish a strategic point of the utmost importance in the fight to supply the boundless markets of Asia, which will require a constantly increasing measure of the products which we beat the world in supplying."

TERRE HAUTE seems to have set a sort of fashion and mob parties are all the rage. Even staid old Tipton has threatened to do dire things and the militia had to be called out—or, perhaps, to speak more exactly, was called out. Greatly as the prevalence of mob law reflects on the people of this state the blame rests on the public. The miscarriage of justice through the laws, delays, wholesale perjury, and misplaced charity of maudlin juries, has caused men to loose faith in courts in some communities and when a^evoltlng crime is committed the courts are not trusted. The lesson is a plain one.

The prompt and adequate punishment

of criminals by the courts alone will secure immunity from mobs. When squeamish courts refuse to maintain legal shambles for murderers and rapists, mobs will establish illegal laniaries. Human nature is the same the world over yet one never hears of mobs in the old countries. This is because the courts there are swift and terrible in dealing with those who sacrifice human life.

THE OBSTRUCTIONIST, President McKinley in his inaugural address made the following reference to national obstructionists which commends itself to the consideration of all: "Dark pictures and gloomy forebodings are worse than useless. These only becloud, they do not help to point the way not ashamed." The prophets of evil were not the builders of the republic, nor in its crisis since have they saved or served it. The faith of the fathers was a mighty force in its creation and the faith of their descendants has wrought its progress and furnished its defenders. They are obstructionists who despair and who would destroy confidence in the ability of our people to solve wisely and for civilization the mighty problems resting upon them. The American people, intrenched in freedom at home, take their love for it with them wherever they go. and they reject, as mistaken and unworthy the doctrine that wo lose our own liberty by securing the enduring foundations of liberty to others. "Our institutions will not deteriorate by extension and our sense of justice will not abate under tropic suns in dis-! tant sens. As heretofore, so hereafter. will the nation demonstrate its fitness to administer any new estate which events devolve upon it, and in the fear of God will 'take occasion by the hand and make the bounds of freedom wider yet.' If there are those among us who would make our way more ditlicult we must not be disheartened, but the more earnestly dedicate ourselves to the task which we have rightly entered. The path of progress isjseldom smooth.^'

of safety and honor. 'Hope maketh

NEW YORK Commercial Advertiser: It is entirely safe to accept without qualification the statement that the President is satisfied that there will be no real difficulty in inducing the Cubans to accept the amendments in regard to

our relations with them which have been passed by both houses of congress. All advices from Cuba that are worth considering take this view. The professional lire-eaters, like Gomez and Cisneros, talk one way in public and another in private, but their irreconcilable talk is all for elTect upon their followers and is not taken seriously by anybody, Gen. Wood is master of the situation because the conservative element in the island, have implicit confidence in him and are determined to uphold him as the representative of the American government. It is an open question whether in the whole island there area thousand intelligent men who regard themselves as "oppressed'' by the United States, or in any way deprived of their liberties.

All unhappiness that exists on the subject is to be found in our trouble hunters in this country, who are inflexibly opposed to every line of procedure which promises a permanent settlement of our new colonial problems.

Fell From a Pole.

Harry Harrington, a telephone lineman in the employ of the Home telephone company, had a narrow escape from death last Tuesday. The company is placing anew cable up the alley between Washington and Green streets and young Harrington was on a pole in the rear of Kostanzer's furniture store. He had started to descend, but being very cold he missed grasping one of the iron steps and fell backward, thirty feet to the ground. He lit on his shoulder, which was dislocated. He was otherwise bruised but is very fortunate in sustaining no worse injuries than he did.
