FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13.1901.

BY faith and not by sight we know we have paved streets.

YOUNG man twenty-seven years of age has been nominated for mayor on the Republican ticket at Marion. This is the age of young men in politics.

THE supreme court has upheld the constitutionality of Indiana's pure food law which gives the state board of health the power to prescribe standards of purityf or food,

THE committee on foreign affairs to which Congressman Landis has been assigned is one of the most important places In the gift of the speaker and will give Mr. Landis an opportunity of which he will not fail to take advantage to the full extent.

No better proof that McKiniey was a friend to the American working man can be found than the action of the federation of labor now in session at Scranton, Pa. A resolution eulogizing the late President was passed and an appropriation made for the mounment at Canton.

THE Federation of Labor now in national convention at Scranton, has declared emphatically in favor of labor saving machinery. It is to be hoped that congress will now be equally broad minded and allow the introduction of improved machinery in the government printing ollicse.

TI-IE Bell telephone company is up to its old tricks again at Frankfort, raising rates. The merchants of that city are already paying for two phones and this increase on the part of the Bell will probably induce them to get along with one. Frankfort should learn telephone wisdom from Crawfordsville.

THE McKiniey memorial arch association has decided not to ask the public for money, but will later apply to congress for an appropriation which will certainly be granted. This leaves the Canton memorial for the people to subscribe to and they will doubtless do so liberally and gladly. The Crawfordsville banks will receive subscriptions.

IT HAS recently been demonstrated that tea can be grown in America, and at a profit. An enterprising citizen of Siunmerville1, S. C., Dr. Charles U. Shepherd, has been experimenting for ten years and has finally succeeded in his efforts to add tea to the list of the commercial crops of tha United Slates. The quality is much superior to that of the imported teas and doubtless in a few years American teas will be quoted at the top of the market. Dr. Shepherd was assisted during the latter part of his experiments by Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture.

TI1E ARTMAN LAW.

The act repealing the old Barrett law and providing a new method of making public improvements was drawn by Speaker Artman and may therefore be referred to as the Artman law. Inttead of the front foot plan of assessing the cost of improvements it provides that each lot shall be assessed only the amount that it is actually benefited and if the stotal benefits assessed do not equal the cost, the balance is to be paid out of the city treasury.

Under the old law the assessmentwas arrived at by a simple mathematical calculation by the engineer. Under the new law an assessment calls for- a knowledge of property values and a nice exercise of judgment on the part of the city commissioners.

Under the old law there was no appeal and frequently the owner of a lot preferred to give it up rather than pay the assessment. This was virtual confiscation. Under the now law any prop erty owner may appeal to the circuit court either on the ground that his assessment exceeds the actual benefits to his property or that it is higher than that of other property similarly located.

great responsibility rests on the commissioners of Crawfordsville in regard to the sewer and paving assessments. There are two widely differing opinions, one is that all, or nearly all of the ccst

of public improvements should oome out of the city treasury, on the theory that auoh improvement is a benefit to the entire city. Another is that the benefits all accrue to the abutting property and that it should therefore stand the entire expense. A more reasonable view in our judgment, is the middle ground between these two opinion^. It is true tftat every improvement is more or less an advantage to the entire city. It is true again that the abuiting property receives a special advantage. Therefore, we hold that tho Artman law. if applied in the proper spirit will work justice to all. Let the commissioners a:sess to each lot the actual amount of value added to it.

A real estate expert ought to have little difficulty in determining what it is. Then let the balance, if there is any, be considered as the amount of benefits received by the city at large, to be paid out of the city treasury.:

WALLACE'S ENDORSEMENT.

The General Assists the Slayer o*f the KM."

The stirring days of -Gen. Lsw Wallace's eirher manhood were .brought to mind to-day when he called on Presdeut Roosevelt to ask the appointment of Patrick F. Garrett as collector of customs at El Paeo, N. M. While Geu. Wallace was governor of 3-7ew Mexico, "Billy the Kid," whose real name was William McCarthy, committed many murders. Governor Wallace had him arrested and ho waesentenced to haug. He murdered two guards and escaped, after swearing he would kill Gen. Wallace. The latter sent out Garrett, a trusted sleuth, who slipped into "Billy the Kid's" bed-room and shot him dead. Garrett accompanied Gen. Wallace to the white house and he will get the appointment Gen.

Judife Adair Eulos £?ainst Huntington City and xlic Issue Is On.

Huntington, Ind., :Dec. 12.—Judge Adair of the Whitley circuit court has made -a ruling in the Huntington court in the appeal taken by H. N. Reichart others from the State street sower assessment, wherein the parties were assessed for improvement. The city through its attorney moved the court to dismiss the appeal. The question involved was whether or not the assessment of benefits should be made under the Barrett law or under the city improvement law passed by the last legislature. The city insisted that the contract made under the old law would have to be completed under that law. The remonstrants claimcd that the new law was a complete substitute for the old one, and that the rights of the contractor had not been impaired by the passage of the new law. The old law provided for no appeal from the report of the city commissioners, hut this one does. Judge Adair overruled the motion to dismiss the appeal and the case will go to the higher courts for settlement.

Filipino Guerillas.

Washington, Dec. 12.—In his annual report made public a few days ago General Chaffee, military governor of the Philippines, assigned as one of the principal factors in the prolongation of the warfare in the Philippines the terrible vengeance visited on any native who is even suspected of friendliness to the American cause. In passing upon the case of a Filipino recently tried by courtmartial for such a crime, General Chaffee said: "As guerilla and all other bandit chiefs have no shadow of lawful authority to take the lives of the inhabitants of these islands, and as it is the duty of the United States to protect all in the enjoyment of their lives and property, the warning, often given, will be repeated until all shall heed it, that both the chiefs who order and the followers who obey their orders to do murder must, upon conviction thereof, expect to suffer the extreme penalties of the law."

Filipino Women For Pennn.

Manila. Dec. 12.—The Women's Peace League, organized under the leadership of Senorita Poblete, a Filipino, has transmitted letters, with the permission of General Chaffee, urging peace upon tho insurgent general Malvar and other Filipino chiefs.

James and Youngst died within the same moment. There is great excitement over the matter, as carnival week is in full blast and the town is crowded with people.

Washington, Dec. 12.—There have been absolutely no developments tending to throw any light on the mystery which surrounds the assault upon Mrs. Dennis. The victim's condition remains unchanged. The physicians think that if she lives for 48 hours there may be some hope for her recovery. She is conscious at times, but not very rational. Every word she utters in these periods of lucidity Is carefully noted by the watchers in the hope that something will he said that will assist the detectives in their work." ".'...
