FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1901.

THE legislature of Virginia has stricken freedom of speech from the Bill of Rights. Anarchists cannot preach their infernal heresies in the Old Dominion.

THE notorious Emma Goldman threatens to sue a Chicago newspaper for damages for stating that she was a Russian spy. This old bedlam, who has spent her time denouncing all laws, does not hesitate to invoke law when it can be made to serve her purpose. It is to be hoped, however, that when the American people get through with her she will have no use for a law suit or any other kind of a suit cxcept a winding sheet.

Tk, as has been contended, two of the members of the northern prison board are ineligible, they should resign at once. If they do not do so in a reasonable time Governor Durbin will be expected to call for their resignations. He cannot aJTord to embarass the party by ignoring the law nor can he personally afford to overlook the matter while standing under the charge of having made unwise appointments to further his own interests.

SENATOR WELLINGTON has linally become alarmed and has begun to vigorously deny that he ever expressed indifference as to the shooting of President McKinley. Ilis protestation comes too late and no one takes any stock in it. The fellow simply fears that he will be expelled from the senate as he has been expelled from a number of organizations in Maryland. That he will be ignominiously thrown out of the senate at its first session is the hope and expectation of every patriotic citizen.

THE Indianapolis Sent/intl questions the Democracy of Senator McLaurin because he uttered a eulogy on President McKinley a few days ago. The Sentinel is the only paper of any note in the country that followed President McKinley to the grave with indeoent criticism and malicious misrepresentation. In carrying out this abominable policy its editor doubtless thought he was sustaining the paper's Democracy. Anyhow the fact that any Democrat Bhould deviate from slander seems to smirch his Democratic garb in the eyes of the Sentinel.

THE Democratic Atlanta Journal says: "It is the source of deep gratification to the country that as the successor to the murdered President, it has a man whose life, like that of William McKinley, has been clean, chivalric and high. No imputation of the slightest degree of personal or official dishonor has ever been cast upon Theodore Roosevelt, even in the passion of politics. He iB a noble type of American manhood, and has illustrated those virtues which our people especially cherish and honor. His home life is beautiful, and those who have known him best have the highest admiration for him and the most complete confidence in him."

THE post mortem criticisms of William McKinley resolve themselves into bla/.ing eulogies when the character of their authors is taken into consideration. Without exception these detractors of the illustrious statesman have been rude fellows of the baser sort, drunken louts, ignorant wretches, and irreligious anarchists who hated the law of which Mr. McKinley was the exponent. These miserable men have hated the President because he stood for law and order, and whatsoever things were of good repute and in the deep damnation of his taking oil their distorted vision could see only a step toward the social degradation their degenerate SOUIB have longed for. But the grim phantasmagoria which swims before their delirium is mirage and not reality. The sacrifice of the President will not bring to them the license they crave but the iron hand of a too long tolerant people.

INDIANAPOLISJournal: There should be profound gratitude on the part of all Americans over the generous and sincere tributes paid by foreign countries to the memory of the late President. The high regard that the civilized world has for William McKinley was undoubtedly the incentive to unprecedented demonstration, but it shows that, in Bpite of predictions of hostility, the leading nations of the

world are drawing nearer together. The late president did much to bring the powers together, consequently these manifestations of sorrow and good will are but the natural consequences of the foreign policy of Mr. McKinley. The diplomatic policy of the United States during the McKinley administration has been characterized by directness," courteous consideration and business principles. No indirect methods have been resorted to: fair dealing has marked all our relations. This policy has advanced the United States immeasurably in the estimation of other nations, despite commercial rivalries. This kindly feeling abroad is a thing to be desired because it makes for the betterment of all international relations. It is not an agreeable reflection to recall that the only disparagement of President McKinley's foreign policy was made in his own country, simply because the opposition must be against the government.

XU CHANGE IN THE CABINET, New York Tribune: President Roosevelt's! declaration just prior to his taking the oath of oftice at Buffalo that it would be his aim to maintain absolutely unbroken the policy of J'resident McKinley for the peace, the prosperity and the honor of the country was universally accepted as perfectly sincere. Hardly any man so placed at such a time could have tanen that pledge with less than all his mind and heart, and nobody has for a moment suspected Mr. Roosevelt of a mental reservation impairing its validity. Nevertheless, his prompt and successful effort to retain the services of all the members of his predecessor's cabinet is a welcome reassurance, not of fidelity to his promise, but of discerimient as to the best means of carrying it into effect. His word was a sufficient guarantee of his intention, but some apprehension concerning the future might have lingered if ho had preferred to make important changes in his oSicial family, or if the late President's constitutional advisers had been unwilling to keep their places. The country has sustained a profound shock, and foreign governments have necessarily contemplated its consequences with keen solioitude. For the time being grief at home and sympathy abroad are the controlling sentiments, mingled with a solemn pride and exaltation of spirit at the spectacle of a great nation calmly and confidently confronting a direful emergency. Yet there may have been danger that when the tension of feeling relaxed and the inevitable reaction set in doubts would arise to breed despondenoy among our own people and misunderstanding among our neighbors. If such a possibility existed it has been averted, so far as official action could avert it, by President Roosevelt's immediate appeal to Secretary Hay and his colleagues for their continued assistance in the government and their patriotic response. National policies do not invariably depend for their success upon their intrinsic quality alone. The estimate widely placed upon the instruments chosen to promote them may be an important factor in the case. It is conceivable that a reorganization of the cabinet at this time might have encouraged a disposition to look too curiously for signs of a departure from tho path marked out by President McKinley, and even to manufacture evidence of innovations. The contingency, 13mote, we believe, yet not to be ignored, has been anticipated by President Roosevelt. The continuity of a great administration remains unbroken. It is a timely and universally acceptable fulfilment of his pledge.

The President has been not only wise but fortunate. Circumstances might have prevented him from accomplishing his desire, indeed, it was commonly supposed that some members of the cabinet would feel constrained to insist on retiring, even if he should earnestly entreat them to remain. Their unanimous consent to continue at their postB is not only an assurance to the country and the world of the government's steadfast adherence to thecourse which has so signally advanced the honor and prosperity of the nation, but a worthy example 01 that fine civic spirit which is essential to the maintenance of free institutions.

A GREAT injustice is being done to the Christian ministry by sensational correspondents who have reported the mobbing of several "preachers" for ex-pressing-disrespect to President McKinley. Nearly half a dozen cases of this character have been reported from various points over the country, and to the newspaper reader who peruses headlines alone the cloth has been placed in a bad light. Investigation, however, lifts the stigma. Not one of the so-called preachers is a regular minister. One was mobbed near Huntington a few nights ago, and after giving a long account of the treatment accorded the supposed divine the article concluded by stating that he didn't have a regular charge at present but "was working in a brick yard." A "Rev." Dalquist, who was mobbed up in the northwest, turns out to be a Scandinavian peddler and free thinker who went about with a little tent after the manner of a patent medicine fakir. And so it goes through the list. No reputable minister anywhere has

thought or expressed anything derogatory to the Nation's dead leader.

AN UNUSUAL OCTOBER.

Brother Hicks Smashes Our Indian Summer Hopes to Smithereens,

A Mars period of disturbance central any time in October is sufficient cause for apprehending heavy, autumnal storms. The storm chart shows that such a period is central on October 2nd, extending beyond the middle of the month. Coincident with this center of the Mars period is a regular Vulcan storm period, extending from the 1st to the 6th. The storm chart shows also that both the Jupiter period and the autumnal equinox are still perturbing factors through all or much of October.

We will scarcely have recovered from heavy equinoctial storms late in September, when renewed storm conditions will begin to appear in the western part of the country. Temperatures, barometers and winds will all give premonition of coming change. Between the 2nd and the 6th, these conditions will grow into cloudiness, and rain and snow will touch many parts of the country in their transition from west to east about Wednesday the 2nd to Saturday tho 5th. Wise students of these forecasts will never be caught wholly unawares by the change to much colder weather, which is almost sure to crowd closely behind the storms at such times as the present period. As change to u-anncr comes immediately in front of active storm areas, so change to colder may be counted on, even before the western edge of rain .and snow have quite passed any locality. Keep this fact in mind, and also that tho storms of most periods last only a few hours in any one locality, and you will be enabled to escape almost all inconvenience and loss resulting so often fromllack of information and preparation.

From the Sth to the 10th anti-storm conditions will give place to return of falling barometer and other conditions leading to more storms of rain and snow. The 9th is the central day of this reactionary period. The moon is on the celestial equator on that day, greatly increasing the probability of warm October rains and thunder southward, but turning to early snow squalls later in northern sides of the country. A correctly tabulated report of the days on which precipitation occurs all over the country, or the world, almost any month in the year, will convince any unbiased person that the dates of the moon's passage over the equator show the greatest number of localities reporting rain or snow. We hare several times given fac-simile copies of such reports and we stand ready to do so again, challenging the intelligentipublic to decide the truth of our statement. Look for change to rising barometer and colder after the storms central on the !ch.

A glance at the storm chart shows that a very unusual combination of disturbing causes bears on the regular storm period which is central on the loth, covering the 13th to the 18th. The Mercury period, the autumnal equinox, the Mars period and the I Jupiter disturbance are all seen to extend their inlluences into this part 0 October. The conjunction of moon with the sun on the 12th will precipitate the change to warmer with falling barometer at the very outset of this regular vulcan period, and returning storms of rain and snow will pass across the country about Monday the 14th, to Thursday the 17th. The chances for heavy autumnal gales over the lakes and north Atlantic are many at this period. At the crisis of these storms it will be best to look for some early winter. Snow and sleet are more than probable in northern sections, with high northwesterly gales and an October cold wave. There will moBt probably be good opportunity at this time for much hardship, exposure, wreckage and probable loss of cargoes and lives to unsuspecting and venturesome navigators of the northern lakes and seas. Let us watch and see. The same warning holds good for both the remaining periods in October.

The 20th to 21st are central days of a reactionary time of autumnal disturbances. A perceptible change to warmer will be noted in the west about the 19th this change will be followed by falling barometer and cloudiness, and October rains, fringed in the north by sleet and snow, will traverse the country from west to east during the 20th to 22 ad.

The most destructive sleet storms we have ever known happened in regular storm periods when Mercury and Venus disturbances were existing.

Some of the heaviest storms of the month may certainly be counted on during the Vulcan storm period central on the 26th. At this time the boreal influences will have grown aggressive, the moon will be on the equator on the 24tb, full on the 27th, and in perigee on the 28th. This will also be at the culminating stages both of the Mercury and Mars perturbations. Watch all agricultural and maritime interests at this time. Cold wave will follow.

Comment And Story,

Sam S. Martin: "I had a little insight last week into what wrong can be done by circumstantial evidence in a city like Chicago, when the police make up their minds to land some one for a crime. I went there with the father of Stella Cook on the supposition that the poor girl had been murdered. When we got there we found that the police had secured enough evidence to hang Thurston, her lover and supposed murderer, with no trouble at all. They had half a dozen fellows from the lake front who had it in for him and who told the most damning kind of stories regarding what they said they knew. Some were ready to testify that they saw the two start out together quarreling, others that Thurston had threatened her life, others that they saw him coming from the lake alone, and still others for other evidence. They had his alibi blocked, and in fact all but had the rope around his neck. The finding of the body of her companion who looked like Thurston was all that saved the gentleman. The Chicago police and detectives are a bad lot and are all of them going about seeking whom they may devour. They had an impression that Link Cook was a rich man and they started after him to wind him up, even asking him twenty dollars for the privilege of swearing I out a warrant for the arrest of the supposed murderer of his daughter. They are as hungry as a pack of wolves and when they get hold of a man with coin they make him jump." ••a/-'

Marshal Brothers: ''1 guess nearly every man can recall how as a boy he raided watermelon patches and orchards. Some of us have vivid recollections of hen roosts, too. When Iwas a youngster down in Fountain county it was a great fad to roast chickens at the sugar camps and I think most of the fowls roasted were stolen. I remember one good old soul named Crose who used to entertain the boys in regal style at his camp. Along about ten or eleven o'clock he would say he thought it would be a good plan to roast some chickens and would start the boys out to get them. We would make a circuit and wind up at the hen roost of Crose himself, helping ourselves to maybe half a dozen fat fowls. We would then circle around and come to the camp from an opposite direction and the old man would laugh immoderately when he saw the chickens. He would prepare them himself chuckling and grinning, and possibly I saying once in awhile 'I'd like powerful well to know where these chickens came from but then I ain't agoin' to 1 ask. It wouldn't be fair.' Then he I would laugh and chuckle as he wraped I the birds in wet clay and shoved them

into the hot ashes and coals. We worked this system for years and the old fellow never did learn the trick."

A popular young society lady of this city had a rather peculiar experience the other morning. She attended the McKinley memorial meeting at Music Hall and upon its conclusion started home. On Washington street she was stopped by a colored girl who made the somewhat startling announcement that she had seen a mouse stick its head from the pocket of her jacket. Naturally the young lady gave the garment a jerk and to her confusion and almost to her terror a large mouHe flew out on the walk and scampered for the gutter. The little animal had evidently crawled up on her skirts as she sat in the hall and had made itself at home in her pocket.

B. R, Russell: "Detective Ireland, of the United States secret service, who was with President McKinley when he was shot, is well known here in Crawfordsville. He spent the summer of 1892 here in the interest of the Elwood land company and solicited scores of our citizens. He went from here to Washington and entered the government service. I thought when I first read of the affair at Buffalo that Ireland was probably the man I knew, but wasn't sure of it until I saw his picture in a Buffalo paper last week. It was a splendid likeness and I recognized him before I saw the name printed beneath."

A. H. Thompson: "Our horses won high homors at the state fair last week and wo captured eight of the eleven prizes in sight. We took first and second in coach mares, first and second in light harness mares, and first and second in light harness geldings, besides other premiums. Our Lord Quex won out over twenty-four strong competitors, and really carried off the honors of the week in the horse department."

P. O. Rudy: "Northern Michigan has suffered materially this year from the competition of the Buffalo exposition and many of the hotel and boarding house keepers have lost out. The keepers of the cheap places have especially suffered, and at Mackinac Island, where the big boats enroute to Buffalo allowed their passengers four hours to see the Island, the hotel keepers lost out all around. The carriage men, however, made a lovely harvest."

High Praise.

The Lafayette Times commenting on the pastorate of Rev. G. W. Switzer in that city, says: "Dr. George W. Switzer, who has just closed a most successful pastorate here, left yesterday to take charge of the Methodist church at Laporte. He was pastor of the WeBt Side Methodist church for six years, a longer service than is usually permitted by the conference. Dr. Switzer and his family have made many friends on both sides of the river, who regret very much their departure from Lafayette. The handsome edifice in which the members of West Lafayette are now worshipping, was erected during his pastorate, and his work as a minister has been successful in every way. He is a man of ability and has gained prominence in the community by the active part he has taken in the ministers' association, his position as director of the Young Men's Christian Association, his work as secretary of the Battle Ground meeting association and his association with the Masonic fraternity."
