The spectacle of aj city of Indiana in a state of siege so the lawful pursuit of industry is 1mposalhis is onq, that spsaks as loudly as other conditions as to the impotence of A rnUSQ FOR NATURE. Ws regret that tha esteemed New York i 9m does not appreciate the nature of the esteemed Springfield ReOf course, tha Sun Will say hat ft doss apprsdsta them, but Its attlude toward them really la tha asms as to attitude toward Mr. Elmore’s poetry. WS know how hollow has been the of its admiration for tha Booster whom It will not even call by his name, So, In tha cam of tha SprlngRepubllcan. we have tha same mock underneath which la tha foul Of envy and uneharitablenees. Of a the truth la that no one living in I at dty can know anything about) or understand the rapturous dsrsr her beauties felt by those who sr. Park Row and Frankfort the roar of the. nearby Broadway, olatter of carts, tha ringing of gongs, rush for tha bridge the smell, end din and tha sweat-it is of these the Sun must parforoa think. The la like Darwin, who confessed that had lost his love for poetry. It Is ne-deaf, ease-hardened, and you please y but of nature is pathetically Ignorant. So when it reads in Its Springfield conof milkweed, the brilliant fothe many birds, the I, the alteration of cloud and finally of the stern It sees nothing but folly aU. Yet the story la told In such and sentences — ona of tha latter over two hundred words ther In the most marvelous -aa never were “on sea or land,”] never win be except la the pages of Springfield Republican. Truly, the to hard to please. What art wa to with nature if not to worship her?

And whan the heart to right, why need

bother about so prosaic a thing as the ■pi Yet for the Sun we have no though we have great pity. For we read the Springfield Repubrhapeodlea with the keenest delight, because of their •‘feeling for nature” also because of their unique literary No such English Is being writ-

ten anywhere else In the world — not even by Henry James. And ws are convinced that there is no such nature In the world as that which abides fn and about Springfield. We have milkweed and other things In Indiana, but they do not riot as they do In the Eastern city. They are tamer, less strenuous, and Impress tbe nature worshiper much less profoundly. The Agawam meadows bear the palm alone. And their laureate soars to bights unscalable by the rest of us, and breathes a diviner air than that which ever agitate# our lungs. For the Sun to criticise these prose hymns la as If a bat should quarrel with a lark or an owl with a thrush. _ _ ; I THE JULIETTA HOSPITAL , We earnestly suggest to the county commissioners that they will make a mistake If they oust Mr. Daugherty from the asylum at Julietta and replace him with Mr. Morgan, or any one else, unless it be shown that Mr. Daugherty la Incompetent and should be ousted. The burden of proof to this end rests on the commissioners. As the affair stands no incompetency on Daugherty's part to allaged. On tbe contrary, he and his wife In their positions have a particularly good reputation for efficiency. It la due not merely to them. It Is due to the people, and most of all It is due to the commissioners, to show that the proposed removal la based on consideration for the public and the better administration of

the public trust.

Tha story to that tha proposed removal la because the core raise loners have among themselves divided up the three large county Institutions, one each for a commlssloner'g absolute management, and that In carrying out this arrangement one commissioner advises the dismissal of competent superintendent, so as to mal room for another man. Now there Is no objection, in order to facilitate public business, that the commissioners should divide their work. But they can not let a personal agreement stand In the way of justice. Even If Mr. Morgan be competent and experienced, the move would be unwise. If Mr. Daugherty la a faithful official — and no ona so far as we know aaya to the contrary — It would be a violation of the spirit of good government to remove him because of a private agreement to give another man a place. Our oounty commissioners have the reputation of being reasonable men, committed to good and economical government We hope they will make no mistake In this case. If Mr. Morgan were In Mr. Daugherty’s piece and had made a good record, ha would foal the Justice of the plea for a continuance of. consideration at the hands Of the commissioners. ANOTHER MERGER DECISION, gd It Is said that Judge Lochren’s decision that tbe Northern Pacific RAllway Company, the Great Northern Railway Company, and the Northern Securities Company have not violated the anti-trust laws of Minnesota doaa not affect the results of tha Psdsr&l Government’s recent victory in tha merger case. Strictly speaking, this is true, for Judge Lochren was construing the State laws, while the Government’s proceedings were brought under the Sherman anti-trust act the principles at stake In the two caaee are precisely the same, as Judge Lochren points out He explains the operation of the Sherman law, as Interpreted by tfe* Supreme Court, which forbids all contracts in restraint of trade whether the restraint be reasonable or not, and then says that “the State anti-tnwt ant must have the same construotion In respect to traffic on railroads within tha State.” Thus he dealt with tha aama facta and applied to them the same law. and reached a different conclusion from that reached in the Government's cam. Which court la correct? Judge Lochren decides that neither of the two merged roads, the Northern Pacific or the Great Northern, was a party to or had anything to do with the organisation of the Northern Securities Company, or had any relation to any of the contracts or proceedings complained of. The Northern Securities Company, he holds, is merely an Inverter In and owner of a majority of the stock of the two railroad corporations. It has, in his opinion, been guilty of no act In restraint of trade or commerce. Judge Lochren lays further: J The action of the defendant Hill In promoting tha formation of the Northern Securities Company under the circumstances end for the purposes which the evidence discloses, and investing In its stocks by the sale to It of his stock in the two railroad companies involved no act or contract In restraint of trade or commerce or affecting transportation or rates, more than any ordinary transfer of railroad Mock from oao person to an-

other. f -A**'

So lie concludes that none of the defendants has done anything In violation of tha State law, “a conclusion,” he says, “apparently contrary to that reached by tbe eminent Judges who in this court racantly decided the cam of the United States vs. Northern Securities Company, and who will doubtless in another court review this cam on appeal.” So the merger scheme has the Indorsement of ona court, though pronounced Illegal by another. « Referring to the argument that the Northern Securities Company has power to suppress and will be Interested in suppressing competition between the two railroads, the majority of the stock of which ft owns, Judge Lochren says that he la ’’compelled to reject the doctrine that any person can be held to have committed or be purposing and about to commit a highly penal offense because it can be shown that his pecuniary Interests will be thereby advanced and that he has the power either directly by himself or indirectly through persuasion or coercion of his agents to compass the commission of the offense.” In other words, the crime is not in the consolidation, but in attempting to secure the fruits of the consolidation. And yet. if a State forbids the consolidation of competing roads, as it has a right to do, It would seem to make no difference whether that consolidation were effected directly, or through the medium of another company organised to purchase both, or for a legal or Illegal purpose. The consolidation itself would be Illegal. Further, even If the Northern Securities Company should go ahead and commit tha crime of restraining trade and destroying competition. It would still be merely an investor in the stock of the two roads, there would be no contract In restraint of trade, and whatever restraint there might be would result from the management of property undoubtedly belonging to the Northern Securities Company- Cento ft, or could ft not, as

owner discontinue tha operation of one of the roads? At best the case Is a doubtful one. With two eminent courts differing so radically It is well that the United States Supreme Court should pass on the questions at Issue.

A VICTORY FOR THE BIRDS. A decided step toward the preservation of our birds was token In the recent treaty of peace signed by the Millinery Merchants’ Protective Association, the Audubon Society, of New York, and the American Ornithologists' Union. By this agreement, the merchants promise to abstain from the Importation, manufacture, purchase or sale of gulls, terns, grebes, hummingbirds and songbirds. Further, they promise to publish each month In their trade Journal a notice to this effect. Still further, the association agrees to send printed warning to all dealers In millinery materials that violations of the law will be reported to the authorities. On and aftef January 1, 1904, the prohibited list is to be extended to Include egrets or heroqs of any species, and American pelicans. On its side the Audubon Society promises to abstain from attempts to restrict the use of fancy feathers obtained from domestic fowls or the plumage of foreign birds. This treaty goes to the heart of the matter. As long as songbirds and their plumage are offered by the milliners as fashionable hat trimmings, just that long will many women wear them, albeit, a fine taste would shrink from such a choice. The success of the Audubon movement depends on Its growth among the women who pretend to lead In fashion. As rapidly as these decree that the wearing of dead blrda la bad form. Just that rapidly will they cease to be worn.

Here! sweep these foolish leaves away.

Look! are the southern curtains drawn?

I hate these roses’ feverish blood!— Pluck me a half-blown lUy-bud, A long-stemmed Illy from the lake. Cold as a coiling water-snake. Rain me sweet odors on the air. And wheel me up my Indian chair. And spread some books not overwise Flat out before my sleepy eyes. Who knows it not—this dead recoil

Its murmuring voice shall blend with mine.

Till, lost in dreams, my faltering lay

In sweet music dies away. -Oliver Wendell Holmes.

All the corn wants now Is a chance. Mr. Weatherman. — We regret to note Mr. Logsdon's declining taste for good literature. His last official utterance reads like the work of a man who could not distinguish between road and slot machines. We doubt If he is la line for a place on the advisory committee of the public library. The report of the fatal Injury of a woman by a bicyclist at Evansville comes like an echo of the past. In the J., M. & L railroad yards yeaterday a baby boy was found asleep with a dog guarding him. When the baby was awakened the dog was convinced that no harm was meant, and allowed the boy to be token care of. Then a note was tied to the dog’s collgr and It was started for home. There it promptly went and relieved the anxiety of the parents, who soon had their child again. Now, ye dog poisoners, here's a shining mark for you! Throw your poison where this animal will find It, and then make yourself scarce In your usual cowardly way, because If you were caught something might happen to you. - - \ ■ ■ ■■' The inclination of the stock market yesterday was evidently to go to the lowest bidders. , The decision of an Albany (N.

Never did the dty have a better opportunity to begin a serious movement In a practical way to secure elevated tracks than right now. New roads are welcome, but they should come In either over elevated tracks or over tracks that are already laid. And their passenger terminal, to be most convenient, ought to be the Union station. Tbe time for the dty to get value tor the franchises it grants.Is when the franchise Is granted. This refers to elevated tracks as well as cash payments or a percentage of the gross receipts. A band of Sioux Indians has arrived In a penniless condition in Chicago, which is a notable reversal of conditions as that is the way most people usually leave that city of industry and resource. The reported discovery of gold In Porto Rico Is also directly In line with manifest

destiny.

Ohio’s Attorney-General is preparing to take a smash at the glass trust, but it may be some time before we hear any crash.

Seeing Joss? . Though Prosecutor Vestal, of Madison oounty, says he found some of the floodgates of the Btr&Wbo&rd works open, he does not want to forget that the muskrat to a very ingenious and resourceful little animal. '% fl When Mr. Gorman talks about tariff reform being one of the issues of the next campaign, it Is to be hoped it is not the same kind he saddled on us the last time he had a swipe at It. A farmer living four miles south of Newcastle estimates that his crop of fine apples this year will amount to 6,000 bushels. Henry county always was a comfort to the State. Colombian legislators who are againat the canal treaty, and who have not the courage to oppose it openly, hope to defeat It by filibustering. Seems as If we recollect some similar action In our own legislative kalis.

Color In the Wheat.

That plays In the golden hair of a girl. A cloud fliee there— A ripple of amber—a flare Of light follows after. A swirl In the hollows like the twinkling feet Of a fairy waltser, the colors run To the Western sun. Through the deeps of the ripening wheat. I hear the reapers' far-off hum. So faint and far, it seems the drone Of bee or beetle; seems to corns From far-off, fragrant, fruity tone, A land of plenty, where Toward the sun, as hasting there. The colors run before the wind’s fsst In the wheat. The wild hawk swoops To his prey in the deeps; The sunflower droops To the lasy wave; the wind sleeps Then running in danllng links and loops A marvel of shadow and shine. A glory of olive and amber and wins Runs the color in the wheat. —Hamlin Garland. SCRAPS. A flock of ostriches at Phtenlx, Ari*., now numbers more than 1,000 birds.

SEVENTY-NINE YEARS OLD. Joseph I. Irwin Reaches a Vigorous Old Age. (Special to The Indianapolis News.] COLUMBUS, Ind., August 6.—Joseph I. Irwin, of this city, is celebrating his sev-enty-ninth birthday to-day. His life has been a remarkable example of what a poor man can do by putting away the useless things and living a temperate and useful life. Mr. Irwin came here years ago all but penniless. He went to work with a decisive aim In view, and before long owned a dry goods store. This venture prospered and he later branched out In other forms of business. He is now president of Irwin’s Bank, his son, William G. Irwin, being the cashier. He is also president of the Indianapolis, Columbus A Southern Traction Company, is at the head of the new starch factory, soon to be started In Edinburg, and has large Interests in several other concerns. He is a member of the Tabernacle Christian church, having been Identified with that congregation for years. Mr. Irwin donated the site for the Columbus public library, which was built near his handsome residence, and his donations to the needy have been plentiful. At his present age Mr. Irwin is as motive as a man twenty years younger. He enjoys the best of health and accounts for It by keeping regular hours. The Irwin interurban was to have been Completed here In time to celebrate his birthday, but delays made this impossible. MIMIC WAR GOES ON.

Don’t tell a Chicago man that his city has less than three million population unless you are prepared to fight. Boomers ot the Lake City have reorganized their Two Million Club, rechristened It the Three Million Club, donned their aggressive club buttons and promised allegiance to the club constitution, which provides that each member must claim at all times that Chicago has at least three million people. The claim has been made that one of the most highly praised commencement orations at Brown University this year was not entirely original, and President Faunce declares that the alleged discovery has been productive of some good. "Public attention,” says Dr. Faunce, *‘haa been called to the operation of a miserable firm In Ohio which makes a living by soliciting- students In all our colleges and against which several college presidents have for years endeavored to secure legal action.” That Ohio oration factory is still In business, It seems.
