The majority of the property-owners who have signed this petition asking that the roadway be made forty feet have done a right thing, in our opinion. If their request is granted, they will succeed In making a far more beautiful street of Capitol avenue than it can otherwise be made. It will correspond with the width of Delaware street, wiiteh occupies the same place on the east side that Capitol avenue does on the west side. No word has ever been raised saying that Delawlre street is not wide enough. Yet it is

sod Independent coinage of silver. Mr. fchanklin Is th* only ons of them who csn b* colled a radical. Mr. Stoll makes • strong plea for harmony, and demands A ‘‘safe, sound, and adequate currency/ which is, of course, what we all want. ‘President Boyd insists that all Democrats are ‘'sound money Democrats,” and he says that whether a sound money Democrat ‘’favors free silver, or a gold Standard, he believes that gold and silver at whatever ratio they are coined should be kept at a parity; that Is, one dollar should be as good as another everywhere, and neither driven from circulation.” If Mr. Boyd has any scheme by which this very desirable result can be accomplished under the 18 to 1 fre® coinage plan, he should give the oduntry the benefit of It. The Bhanklin letter, however. is a radical free silver document. It is to the remarks of Mr. Dunn that we desire to call particular attention. How anyone can read them and retain his /alth in the possibility of the maintenance by this country alone of a bimetallic system we do not see. As the speaker »o clearly aod conclusively shows, ‘ reason, experience, and the testimony of those " who are favorable to the bimetallic theory. all combine to prove that the thing con not be done. It never has been done. We tried it for years in the days to which _ Mr. Bhanklin so feelingly refers, those good old dayp before 1878. and we had first silver •monometallism and then gold monometalUsm. and then no-metallism,- hut never during all that time did we have anything that could be called bimetallism. And to-JJay, as Secretary CarBsle so well said, there is not a country in the world which has tried to maintain free coinage by itself that has not gone to a silver that It what the free coinage grant they should say so. Certainly not with any propriety be called

bimetallists.

the full sum.

It will be seen also that Anderson, to which we have before alluded, is coming on with its subscription. It has raised to date $162-80. Besides, there is a contribution of $25 from Company C, which will be "credited to Anderson when the subscriptions are classified and arranged, but as Company C long ago forwarded Us subscription and it has been published Separately in the original list, It is not here included in Anderson’s total. We reiterate, what we have often said in this behalf, that If the people in the various towns of Indiana could once feel that this Is a matter that concerns them; that they should take an interest In -it; that it is their business, the whole amount would be quickly raised. If every town will do as Anderson, Lebanon and Laporte have done and are doing, this fund which is from th* Stats of Indiana to the greatest battleship in the woAd, would quickly be completed.

CAPITOL A VENUE ONCE MORE. The Journal this morning, 4n a thoroughly characteristic editorial paragraph, manages to convey an unusual amount of misinformation about the Cipttol-avenue roadway. In speaking of the petition presented yesterday for a forty-foot roadway, it says: “The names of some of them (the signers) also appear upon the petition asking that the driveway be allowed to remaip the present width.” The fact sitnply la that the petitioners all ask for a forty-foot roadway, not a fifty, and, moreover, many property-holders, whose names do not appear on the petition, expressed a willingness tor forty feet, but, for various reasons, did not care to sign the petition. The further statement^ of our contemporary that It has been understood that "thla question had been settled, by the board several weeks ago” we do not know Just how to classify. We do not know by whom there was such an. understanding, or for whom. The president of the Board of Public Works stated Yesterday that he had been in favor of forty-foot roadway and so had his coleague, Mr. Atkinson, but that they were ured by Mr. Osterman, the third memof the board, that the majority of thA x property-holders were against such a roadway, sad Mr. Atkinson was importuned by Mr. Osterman, as a personal favor to him, to vote for the fifty-foot

roadway.

It is worth while, perhaps, to call attention to one more curious paragraph In the Journal, namely, the talk about narrowing the roadway from fifty to forty feet and ignoring the fact that this Is for only a few squares. The roadway to Thirtieth street must. In all Its length, with the exception of these few lower squares, be forty feet wide. This point is carefully Ignored by the Journal. One great argument for making the lower end of the roadway forty feet wide is to make it uniform. If the upper end and greater proportion of the avenue were flftysfeet. The News would oppose reducing a part of It to forty feet. It would, as new, advocate uniformity. But inasmuch as practically the whole avenue is forty feet, to except a half dozen squares, which will add nothing to the uses of the street and deprive it of much of its beauty, is not wise. Besides, a street is greatly enhanced in beauty where the proportion devoted to turf and trees Is wide, as witness Delaware street. Moreover, as heavy traffic is to be kept off this boulevard, there is less necessity than in other streets tor a great expanse of roadway, which means simply an Increased expense to btiUd and to maintain. This increased expense is a point we wish to emphasise. Unless he is mlsreported, Mr. Osterman, who is degrading his office by using his influence as a member of the Board of Public Works in this matter to carry a personal end, Is saying that the fifty-foot roadway will be much cheaper than a forty-foot roadway, because the curbstone Is to stand Just as it la Th* president of the board and the city engineer say that In any case a new combination curb Is to be put in, as there ought to be, for a decent Job can not otherwise be made. Besides this, an addition of wide stone work Is to be put in the gutter so that it shall be kept clean. Therefore the curbstone cost Is the same with a forty-foot as with a fifty-foot roadway. But th* reduced roadway will make the cost one-fifth or 20 per cent. less. It will also be Just so much cheaper to •weep, to sprinkle and to repair. It Is pertinent to add In this connection that Mr. Osterman, who has been so ostentatiously active In endeavoring to control the disposition of this roadway, belongs to the class that is forbidden by law from petitioning for such things, namely, the alien landlord class. And yet he uses hia position as a member of tbs board to seek what h* considers to be hla personal ad;e, and he so far forgets the proof his position as to endeavor to property-owners to withdraw their names from a petition after they have signed It. As a dtisen. Mr. Osterman would be deprived from any deciding voice In this matter. A* a member of the Board of Public Works, he ought, of course, to wKMraw from sitting in Judgment in a in which Ms feelings are aroused, t is customary among judges. In the Iron Hall case Judge Harvey, befqre the eult had begun, announced that at on# m had something to. do with ill, and that If this wan to bs

Senators Voorhees and Turpie l^ve had a donference. Momentous things are cfcrtaihly near at hand.

Mr. Thomas Taggart has not yet Issued his ultimate ultimatum. But our report of a brief Interview with him yesterday may be considered a proximate ultimatum, we suppose. In that Interview, Mr. Taggart confessed that he Is willin’. If this frame of mind continues permanent, we presume the Democratic mayoralty nomination may be considered to be already settled. No Democrat that has already professed aspirations would think of seeking seriously to oppose Mr. Taggart's candidacy. Mr. Holt was "mentioned” at one time. But he declined positively to allow his name to be used. Mr. Holtsman has not denied that the nomination would be agreeable to him. Mr. St. George Rogers, who has long been conscious of his fitness tor high office, has been actually working among the “workers” with a view to the nomination; and John Osterman baa coyly and consciously smiled when the mayoralty has been mentioned in his hearing. But, of course, Holtzman, Rogers and Osterman wouhl waste ho time or effort if Mr. Taggairt takes the field. They would be slmfifly not in It against a politician of his captivating powers and personality. We are not discussing to-day Mr. Taggart’s fitness to be mayor. We are simply calling attention to hia popularity in' his own party. If he wants the nomination, all signs indicate that he can have it at the drop of his hand, all present aspirants retiring with graceful precipitancy. It will be time enough to discuss Mr. Taggart’s qualifications for the office when his ultimate ultimatum has appeared, and when we know just what his platform will be. Which is to have the right-of-way on th# Fourth, the bicycle qr the firecracker? I. I—HI ll,‘lll % The free and independent silver coinage agitation has done one thing for Indiana, which is nothing less than a miracle. It has converted David Turpie into a leaderl The Order of the Knights of Pythias continues to send Us frequent contribution to the battleship fund. This time It Is Thorntown Lodge, No. 124, K. of P., which represents the order with a flve-dollar addition to the fund. We are glad to record the action. The Knights of Pythias arc distinctly calling attention to themselves by their patriotism and State pride In this behalf. We Wiah all orders and assoclationa of men In various bodies throughout the State would be fully represented In this record, which shall speak for our State pride, our liberality, our Intelligence. In the Kentucky political game, Senator Blackburn Is observed to pass. Secretary Carlisle and the Louisville Courier-Journal make a strong combination, as the Blackburn crowd has discovered. When they entered the lists the Kentucky Democracy was believed to be hopelessly commlttel to free coinage. But the Secretary’s great speeches and the persistent advocacy of sound monetary principles by the paper set the masses to thinking soberly on the money question. The result was a moat notable and encouraging victory for sound money and the Cleveland administration. Senator Quay is beginning his campaign in Pennsylvania by making everybody get down off the fence. The news from Cuba is becoming more interesting every day. The fighting In Puerto Principe is determined on, both sides, and the Insurgents are moving upon the Spanish soldiers with force and spirit. It was a bright idea of the Spaniards to send parties of guerrillas against the Cubans, for It was supposed that bushwhacking would be the strong dependence of the rebels. But the experience of Captain Aguerro’s men will hardly encourage the general employment of guerrillas by the Spaniards It must be with a good deal of humiliation that the brave General Campos sends home for 14,000 additional troops. It ^rlll be remembered that he spoke rather contemptuously of th* rebellion whan he took command of the Spanish forces on the Island. The sllverttas talk aa If they had Premier Salisbury engaged for a course of lectures. The Texas Democrat# want Adlal to speak out. Adlal, posalbly, wants the Texas Democrats to keep still. It is very evident that Mr. Reed has withdrawn his boom until It can start out and monopolise all th* atteation and applausa. New Tork city is now drisr on Sunday than it has been for years. President Roosevelt, of the police board. Is enforcing th* law. He says that "the idea that a Sunday closing law can not ha enforced Is nonsense. All It requires la determination.” The indications are that New Tork has not seen the worst of the drought. Mr. Bynum should send out quietly and buy up aUT copies of his old speeches on finance. The dispatches from New York report that the navy officers are testing a new "position finder” which promises great things. Ws wonder whether if is any better than our own Voorhees, or the average Indiana Congressman. If it is, the navy can not get it too soon.

THE KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS

Kentucky To the Front. Louisville Courier-Journal iDem.). It is in the platform adopted by the Democratic State convention yesterday, and the manner of its adoption, that the greatest, most Impressive and far-reach-ing significance lies. In a State which six months ago th* advocates of free silver were claiming as a stronghold, and in which at least the surface sentiment seemed to set so irresistibly that few there were with political ambition who were brave enough to breast It, and many with misguided shrewdness to seek to float with it. one of the greatest conventions that the Kentucky Democracy ever held, yesterday made an out-and-out declaration for sound money, by a vote of nearly three to

one.

There can be no disputing the genuineness of that declaration. That was attested not only by the overwhelming majority by which it was made, but the earnestness with which tt was Insisted upon and the enthusiasm with which It was recorded, despite the fact that there ware strong reasons in the relations between many of the delegates and their favorite candidate why they should ab stain from so emphatic an enunciation of their convictions on the financial issue. Neither can there be any Imputation upon the sufficiency of this deliverance. It can not fall to satisfy the most thorough advocate of honest money. It would be hard to formulate a better creed of na- , toinal finance than that contained by the Democratic platform of 1892 as Interpreted In actual administration by President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle. The Courier-Journal can not be too warm in its congratulations of the Democracy of the State upon Its action on this momentous question. By that action it has not only lifted the party in Kentucky out of the mire and mist of doubt and misrepresentation and placed it upon the high and clear ground of definite principle and purpose, but it has vindicated its right to its place in the front ranks of all that Is best, most vital and most deserving in the national Democracy, a sharer in the record which has saved the country from untold disaster and in the mission which yet lies before the party of Cleveland and Carlisle. Yesterday’s work takes the Issue of free silver out of Kentucky, not only in. 1195, but In 1896. Henceforth there will be none to question the fidelity of the Democracy of this State to the principle of a sound and stable currency. But beyond this the effect of the convention’s action wil4 be of Incalculable good throughout the country. It will carry Inspiration to honestmoney Democrats everywhere. It will convince them that, however dark the clouds of flatism may lower, they will melt away before the sunlight of reason and knowledge. It will dissipate completely the oft-repeated assumption that the South can be counted on to unite With the Western silver miners In a crusade against a hundred-cent dollar. It will shatter the delusion that there is any possibility for the national Democratic convention next year to enlist in this crusade. It will herald to the world that there is no longer a doubt tha: the credit of the United States will be jealously proteoted, and that every man who puts a dollar into our enterprises will get as good a dollar as he gives us. Moreover. It will place Kentucky In the vanguard of progressive Democracy, and "the Kentucky Idea,” so long the beacon-light to the legions for tariff reform, will agam shine out to the legions for honest money. The Pawning of ilfiickburn. Louisville Post (Dera.). , Mr. Blackburn has a strong hold on the affection of a large number of men. Some of hia most efficient supporters are men who disagree with him utterly on the financial issue. The Senator’s personal Influence Is an Important factor In politics in Kentucky, and in ordinary contests it would turn the scale for Blackburn. But this Is no ordinary contest. It is a fight over a principle which may yet lead to a new alignment of parties. The Republicans are afraid of it. Nowhere are they doing anything for the cause of sound money. The campaign of education ia carried on by Democratic leaders and , by the Democratic press. In Kentucky we have fritted away a magnificent majority to placate the Populists. The more they were given the mere they asked, until at last the spirit of the young Democrats was awakened and the fight for party principle began. It will be carried on until the regenerated and reorganized party once again Is dominant in Kentucky by forty thousand majority. Senator Blackburn has dropped out of the ranks. He has arrayed himself against the national leaders. He has resented the coming of Carlisle to Kentucky, but has had no word to say of Stewart's invasion, and so the party seeks other leaders and turns to other

paths.

The Kentucky Democratic convention shews the effect on the State and the Democratic party of the sound, courageous position taken by the Republican convention in the State and demonstrates the ebb of the free silver coinage sentiment in the South.

At the same time, six weeks ago, it was generally believed that the Democratic convention would favor free silver coinage.—Phila-

—Pearline. The first wasningcompound ever made, and the best. Proved to be absolutely harmless to anything that is washed—both by the women who have used it for years, and by scientific tests. But the enormous demand for Peart ine—‘for something that will save work and yet be safe to use, has started a host of washing powders, all imitations of Pearlinc. They ought to make women think. If you can get risky help from a,poor imitation, why not get safe help from the original and the best? 407 JAMES PYLE, Mew York.
