FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1001.

IT is a cold day when Roosevelt doesn't, give the spoils system a severe jolt.

BEFORE Boss Gorman can complete his plans for a presidential nomination he will have to do dome more disfranchising.

AN attempt to kill the midway elephant at Buffalo by means of electricity failed. Why not send him over Niagara Palls in a barrel?

THE present situation in South Africa seems to have been planned to bear a very close resemblance to the past and future situations.

AMONG the signs of the times there Beems to be none that admonishes Senator Hanna to retire to some remote locality and assume an undesirable seat.

PRESUMING that Minister Wu Ting Fang is to be recalled, the recommendation is made to send a missionary as its next representative in Washington.

THE people of Oklahoma and Indian Territory are getting ready to ask for admission to the Union as one state. This plan will and should have more weight with congresg tbBB the proposition to admit Oklahoma alone.

A YEAR ago it was stated that hazing at West Point could not be broken up. Now the board of visitors reports that it has entirely disappeared. So far as known there has been no letting down of the previous high standard of honor and manliness which was said to be in large part due to hazing.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT says he wants as circuit judge in Indiana a man of distinguished legal ability, a man young enough to give twenty years of good service on^the bench and one who is in harmony with the administration on the insular problems. A. B. Anderson fills all these requirements to a dot, and the President can make no mistake in appointing him.

JOHN R. MCLEAN, it is said, is booked for a campaign for governor or senator in 1903. This is rather good news for the Republicans. They can carry Ohio without the aid which McLean's candidacy on the Democratic ticket would furnish them, but the 10,000 or 15,000 additional majority which his participation in the canvass would give them would be accepted.

THE assurance given to the United States by Dr. Von Holleben, Germany's minister In Washington, that the relations between his country and this are especially pleasant is agreeable to all Americans. The bellicose talk from Germany as against the United States, which is occasionally sent by the cable, does not represent the feeling of the German people. The United States is at peace with all the world, and expects to remain in this condition. America's diplomatic horizon is bright.

THE new constitution adopted by Alabama last week will disfranchise the bulk of the negroes of that state, but not a single white man, no matter how ignorant or degraded, provided he takes the trouble to register and pay his poll tax, In this it is essentially unfair but it also gives the negroes an opoortunity to obtain the franchise by means of education and the accumulation of property. Thus the injustice will be wiped out in the course of time and it is likely that the spur thus uut on the black^mac to secure property and education will ultimately work to his greatest advantage.

IF the people of the Ninth district should take Congressman Landis' anti-civil service reform views in earnest they would have retired him long ago to make room for some other deserving Republican who might think he was entitled to recognition. The people, however, prefer to apply the merit system in his case, thus getting the benefit of his experience. Mr. Landis becomes more valuable to his constituents and to the country each time he is re-elected. Rotation in offloe is a bad principle to apply to congressmen as well &B to subordinate officials in the government service.

Ot'M TWO SENATORS.

Politics is such an interesting game that a great deal of it is played just for the sport of the contest. Newspapers give columns of space to the movements and alleged movements of poll ticians for the same reason that they give the gossip as well as the facts of athletic sports, because the people will read it. Just now there is supposed to be going on preparations for the next two senatorial contests in Indiana Both the present senators are said to be strengthening their respective machines as against each other and any new comers. And Governor Durbin is charged with senatorial aspirations as well as one or two other gentlemen. Now this is all very foolish. The people of Indiana have no desire to change their senators, and we are sure that any man who attempts to defeat either one of them for re-election acts contrary to the welfare of the state and nation. And this means the senators themselves as well as others with senatorial bees. Fairbanks and Beverldge are both national characters to-day, without question the best men in Indiana for the U. S. senate. If they continue in the possession of their political common sense they will work in harmony and both will he re-elected.-

THOSE who fear a loss of Interest in politics when the spoils system is eliminated should remember that in England a change in administration involves a change of less than a score of office holders and yet political campaigns in England are more exciting and more bitterly contested than in America. Issues, not spoils, are the incentives to the best political enthusiasm. Witness the campaign in New York City where many factions united for the triumphant election of Seth Low and the fusion ticket. The enthusiasm was intense and the biggest vote ever polled in the city was brought out, yet the mayor-elect made not a single pledge 'for office and very few applications for place are being filed with him. In contrast with this recall the recent Indianapolis election. Here two political machines were contesting for the spoils. The Republicans failed in their effort to make Issues prominent and the campaign was notoriously slow and devoid of interest. The vote was comparatively light and the people chose one machine because they were tired of the other. The doom of the spoils system is at hand. Before the end of President Roosevelt's two term9 it will be as dead as a door nail so far as the national government is concerned and the force of example will rapidly extend the merit system to state and municipal affairs.

A VERY pleasant pastime It is to predict what the President will say in his forthcoming message but it is hardly fair to base a criUrism on these predictions as some papers are doing.

Newtown 6, Waynetown 5.

Special to The Journal. WAYNETOWN, Ind., Nov. 18.—On last Saturday afternoon the champions of Montgomery county and the champions of Fountain county, met in mortal combat on the Waynetown gridiron, and fought a battle royal. The two teams were evenly matched, having played a week ago, with not a touch down on either side. About one hundred rooters accompanied the New town players, and all of the sport lovers within five miles of here were present rooting for the home team. The Waynetown band Imarched ahead of the contestants to the field of battle and furnished good music for the crowd while they were assembling and during the interval of rest between halves. There were probably three hundred people witnessed the game, many of whom never saw a game before, but now and hereafter, they will be foot ball enthusiasts. The final result of the game was Newtown and Wayne town 5. Undoubtedly the game would have been a tie, bad it not been on account of the angle we had to kick goal and the high wind that was against us.

The Waynetown team has played five games this season with the best teams of this and Fountain county, and up to date have only had eleven points scored against [them. According to present arrangements, the teams mentioned above, will playianother game here on Thanksgiving, and in case they do, judging from tho high pitch of excitement here and at Newtown there will ba no less than five hundred people witness the game. The line up Saturday was as follows:

Knights of St. John, After an Existence of Tea Years Here Will Go Out ..... of Baslness.

The local organization of Knights of St. John will, in ail probability, Boon be a thing of the past. The fourteen members yet in good standing met at the hall in the llamsey block on Green street last Thursday evening and practically came to this conclusion The reason is a lack of interest on the part of the members. The organization was effected in January, 1891, with a membership of seventy six, and was called the Father Dinnen Commandery In honor of the then priest of St. Bernard's Catholic church. The installation services were held October 10, 1892, and each member appeared In a handsome uniform Under the command of Capt. John Drury, the knights soon became experts in military manouvers and won three big cash prizes in the national and international contests of the organization. In 1895 they won at Evansville, in 1896 at Dayton, O and in 1898 at Detroit, Mich. They refused to contest in 1897 because the prize was a piano. They won every time they entered. The property of commandery is worth about $(500 and is advertised for sale.

An Unusual Compliment.

J. M. Newbarger, Insurance inspector, was in the city Saturday examining a number of buildings. He made a thorough inspection of THE JOURNAL building from basement to roof and pronounced it from a fire insurance standpoint one the of the very best printing plants in the country. He stated it as a fact that but one similar establishment in the United States has a lower insurance rate than THE JOURNAL, and that is the Chicago Iitcordlleruld.
