Tue proposal of th Nebraska legislature to impeach officials implicated in the penitentiary scandal of that state ia another indication that the day of whitewashing ia papain? away. Officials ehould do their duty or be punished. Mr. Warner Mri.init advances in the current cumber of the Eiin-frimj Magazine the argument that the Nicaragua canal would neutralize the Suez canal. If he "wants the Suez canal neutra lzed why does be not proceed with hi work?

Rcral electric roads will probably do tncch for Indiana. We are glad to note that many are projected in var.ous portions of the state. Yidages off the railway lines do not prosper, the stations nearest to them ki 1 them. Tho short inexpensive electric road wi 1 largely remedy this. Hase of transportation is yery essential to mail manufacturing towns as well as beneficial to the farmer. The republican national league will be placed in a somewhat embarrassing position when it com to consider the tariff question. It will hardly dare to abandon the position of the republican party in the last campaign, and it must realize that it will bo auici 1 to adhere to it iti the face of the overwhelming verdict of the people.

There seems to be eorr.e question as to whether the world's fair will be ready for the opening at the appointed time. Less than seven weeks remain for preparation, and the work is not ao far advanced as it should be. In addition to this money is said to be running low in the fair's treasury. The director-general assures the public that work will be proseuted night and day and every effort will Le made to be ready on time. We desire to express approval of the conduct of Warren II. Oalbkaith. Vv ari'.e.v fondly hoped he was about to Le married. The pastor was ready; the . -t were assembled; the feast wu id. Then the bride sent for Warrem informed him she was not yet ready l serious step. Possibly she was i ' hough she was a trifle late in finding it .:. Tue situation was somewtiat emb ..ia.-sing. bat Warren was not embar-r-d. He did not breakup the furniture. He did not shoot himself. He simply sc-t up the cigars to the crowd. That wu the manly thing to do. The cigars were fair! on him. and he has now discharged a i existing obligations. We trust to be invited to his wedding, to some other and more permanent girL One of the most sansib'e things done by the last session was the aDpropriation of $ 17,-jOO for the construction of irrigating ditches on th Navajo reservation. There have been several reports of anticipated trouble with these Indians in the pat few years, and in every instance the difficulty has arisen from their being forced off their reservation to seek water and grass for their flocks. Their reser-

it is nearly account of i a lack of water. Their flocks number more than a million. They are industrious aud peaceable, and want only the opportunity to be self-supporting. There are few tribes that can furnish j such excellent material for civilization, I and the government wou d be aimost : criminal if it did not give them every i reasonable opportunity for eelf-advance-ment. The First Fruits. We publish elsewhere the first two answers tu our invitation to diecues the legislative problem, and invite the attention of our readers to them. One was intended as a private letter but as it probably voices sentiments that are to be found elsewhere we take the liberty of printing it anonymously for "the purpose of answering it. We regret that both correspondents have overlooked the chief point to wuicli we called attention, whit h is that the majority does not govern in leg blative bodies. There is a coustaut tendency to centralization of power in parliamentary government that actuady defeats the republican thbory of government. But a ehort time since we found that under par iamentnry rules Mr. Kked aas nbli to shut off the minority from any participation in legislation. In the congressional session of 191-2 we found that under parliamentary rules it was impossible to get before the house of representatives a bill ropea ing the duty on re lined uuar which had Le-n established by the McKinley law for the benefit of the sugar trust. In our last legislature a similar situation was presented as to several important bills. And yet, it is perfectly p ain that the makers of our constitution intended that the majority ehould rule. A u ajority can unct a law even over the governor's veto, according to the provisions of the constitution. Where a larger vote was deemed proper, as in case of impeachment, it u specified in the constitution. Nevertheless, we find that by a system of parliamentary rules the constitutional idea is completely overthrown, and that a majority cannot pass laws at all. This seems to us a serious evil, a tremendous obstacle in the path of progress. There is nothing political in it from a partisan stand. A repub lican legislature is as subject to it as a democratic legislature. It is a defect in our BVbtem of government. This was the chief point to which we directed attention, but incidentally it brings up tiie whole question of iegi-lation, and we are wil ing to consider any phae of it. lloth of our correspondents dwelt largely on the personnel of the Inst legislature, and we think that to a certain extent both are right. We have said before, and wish it to be clearly understood, that in our ccioioa the leci.-lature whs above the average in intelligence. We have stated p ainly our opinion that it was largely the vi tiui of its organization and i s system ot parliumen-ary rul-s. At the sa i o t.tu j there is a great deal of force in the idea that a legislator ought to have some e rt of training for his. work, and that not only tiiid legislature, but also every lrgiala ive bodv in tie country is defective in this respect. Mere former exper.ence is not what is wanted, nor would there be any po-itiility of sending legislators to school, a did the popu ist of Nebraska with the man whom they elected judge when he knew no law. In our opinion the man ia he;t trained for lefcjs ative work who ig accustomed to investigate before he acts. If all legislators had that habit there would not be much bad legislation. We d not see w hy any man shoud be nominated for the legis ature to whom his neighbors would not be wil ing to irut tho management of personal affairs of their own, and certainly they would not trust a (an who acted without knowing what he was about. It is notorious that legislators very frequently do this, and at ways have done eo. Sir Kobkrt Peel expn-sed a general truth w h- n he sai l of the ' encumbered estates act" that "it was so good a measure that he really wondered how it had got passed." A very strong testimony is that of Edwin Chadwick, one of the greatest pub icinis Kngland ever produc-d, who for years acted as commissioner of inquiry iu charitable, criminal at.J labor investigations, and who dec ares that he never knew a single investigation "which did not reverse every main principle, and almost every assumed chief fact on wlihh the genera', public, pariimentary committees, politicians of high position, and often the commissioners themselves were prepared to base legislation." How can legislators acquire nuch information? Possibly it may be dona through open discussion of needed reforms in the public press, as was done in the case of the ballot law. and as we are now endeavoring to do in th matter of legislative reform. Our friend "Anonym" suggests that it is impossible to secure prop-r legislation in so short a session as sixty days. We do not think so, if the legislators attend to businers. The leui-dature of ls'j passed more and better laws in a session of s.xty days than any preceling legislature parsed in let) days. Why cannot another legislature make eoms approach tu its record? The trouble with the lat legislature was certain y not altogether lack of information or lack of time. For example, the question of taxation has ben pretty thoroughly discussed in Indiana in the last two years, and lt-gis ators might reasonably be expected to have considerable information concernii g it. The state board of tax commissioners had been specia ly charged with the duty of reco.nmeniüa such legislation as it found desirable to perft-ct the tax svstem. It submitted several laws, and made a report stating its reasons for them. The principal one parsed the house, and was iruoihere J in a senate committee because the banking interests of the state objected to one of its provisions. l'assing to" Anonym's" criticisms on The Fentinxl we commend their frankness, ' though we cannot understand the La-is for them. Perhaps if be would point out the particulars in which The Sentinel has been wrong, if he would specify the advice given with an "imperious air," if he would indicate where the legislature went wrong in taking our advice, or profited by neglrctiugit, we might be convinced of the error. The business of a newspaper is primarily to publish the news, and secondarily, by uniform modern usage, to comment on events It would at once be condemned by its readers if it did not speak its views fearlessly. The

ration ia large, but all desert land on

Tery nature of its work keeps it informed of movements of public sentiment. Its finger is on the public pulse. It is expected to inform, to instruct, to advise, to rer rove. Almost any view a newspaper advances might be calied dictatorial. Its business is to say "this is right," "that is wrong," "this is judicious," "that is unwise," "this ehould be encouraged," "that ehould be stopped " If it makes mistakes it is quickly punished by public condemnation and loss of patronage. Thk Sentinel assuredly is not suffering at present. In conclusion, we would express onr emphatic disagreement with the proposition that "newspapers might learn a valuable lesson by considering the recent case of the California legislature in removing the capital," on account of newspaper criticism. The idea that a body of representative men should put the state to enormous expense and trouble to ease their wounded fueling is so utterly preposterous that we cannot imagine how any on can commend it for any purpose. We expect children occasionally to "take their doll rags and go home," but not men. Even if the newspaper had been unjut the California legislature was simply imbecile. The press and the people wi.i not always agree with legislators, at.d very often it is fortunate they do not. We enn suggest an instance in our correspondent's experience. He says he was a member of the legislature of 1819-50. He probably remembers the agitation for free school that was in progress then. He may re neuiber that in 1S4S the people voted for free schools, 78,5:13 airainst 61,SS7. ll-i may rem-rnbr the message of Cat eb Mills to himself and his fellow legslators. '"Devise such msssure on their behalf that on the legislature of 1S4950 may rest the benediction of the youth of Indiana tor having the wisdom to devise and the in lepend-nce to enact such a system of free schools as may serve for a model to her younger sisters, while it secures the proper education of her own rising generation." Did the legislature take the advice ? No. Does any benediction rest on it? No. Did the agitation stop? No; it went right on until the legislature of 1SVJ passed the needed law and made the schools of Indiana what they are todav. Thk Sentinel has faith that iu the end the right will always prevail, anl it is a ways ready and wil ing to Btand for the right. The Condition 01 Kurope. Having been severely but justly rebuked by the press of the country for giving away the official secrets of the new administration, Mr. Ml'rat Hu.siEADhas now turned his attention to Europe, and is harrowing the souls of the eliete dynasties by telling just what they are trying to think about. There is nothing more annoying to a dynasty than that. When a dynasty has cornered a thought and is about to puck it in sawdust for future reference, it is cruel to snatch it out of his possession. Mr. Hai.stead begins with the emperor of Austria and ambles on in this way: He has had a great task, and endured many misfortunes and sorrows, and he

Las sullered from the plague i tactions until it is believed he has become iisconrazed, and desires to abdicate. If Bismarck whs in power, and had a king or emperor who knew enough to obey him. the resu t would posstb y be to unite in one enormous empire the (ierman-speak-i"g P op a ol Europe. liut CaTüIVI and young Wil l i am will not be able to manage a matter of such magnitude. They have been defeated with their army bib, the cause of which is the misinmiagement of relations w.th Kus.-is, aud William is reported about t- ri.sn to Italy, wnere he once succeeded in niak ng a shocking impr s-ion on the pope. Russia and Germany ure leßs irritated toward each other, but the two emperors are incapable of working together. In these remarks Mr. IIai.stead is not up to his usual standard of accuracy. The emperor ot Austi ia has no intention of abdicating. That is me.ely a pretense which is being made to induce a raise in his salary. The Kathke.Ier, however, will never consent to this, and in consequence the emperor will withdraw his bluff and buy another stack of reds. Neither are German affairs in such a bad way as here indicated. Mr. Hai.stead is probably not aware that for six months past Col. Ahe Slvpsky has been closeted with Cathivi and William and they are now prepared lor any fate. As Catrivi is not an editor and never held office before be has nothing to fear. True, the two emperors cannot work together, but each can earn Iiis daily bread at home, and if the worst comes to the worst they could be hitched tandem. Mr. 11 alktead continues : The apprehension is the czar wi 1 be driven to find a war abroad in order to have peace at home. The German al lance with Austria and Italy has become precarious. The pope, in posing as the fri-nd of the French republic, haa made a point. The king of Italy has become reserved as to Germany, for he cannot aliord. with a statesman in the Vatican, to accept the role oi the vassal oi Germany, 'lhe French are just in the state to get into iitikt'hief. Their army is in the highest Condi ion, and if they are ever going to use that weapon, there will Le no better opportunity than when they are sure f finding German v without allies. England has largely increased her forces in Egypt. Intantry. artibery, cavalry have been finding their way to Cairo from India, Cyprus, Malta, Gibra tar and England. This statement is not only inaccurate, but also appears to be spiced with malice. The pope may have made a point, but it it did not put him out, and as for the king of Italy it is a notorious fact that he has not had a statesman in the Vatican since our distinguished fellow-townsman, the Hon. A. G. 1'ortek, left the place. It is hardly p ssible that the French could get into any more mischief than they have bwon in for some time past unleas they should tackle the Nicaragua scheme, and England is massing her forces merely to prevent the pyramids being shipped over to the wotld'a" fair. Therein not going to be any war in Europe. Monarchs having any little dillerences to settle will go to New Orleans and settle the n like gentlemen, in case the athletic club succeeds in paying FnzdMMONS. Iut s artlin'g as Mr. Halste ad's statements are for their totally mUleading character, he makes a en. Is for them to some extent by the following observations on the home rule bil: The contest deepens and becomes heated, and it Mr. Gladstone is able to drive right on. he wil , if his majority in the hous sticks, find himself couironting the house of lords and the crown. This means another appeal to the country. The case looks extremely doubtful. If ha

succeeds his personal success will be unfarabeled, and if he fails it is forever, t is his battle, and the question is something more than Irish it means if home role carries the Kritish empire takes a long stride toward popular government. We do not see how this can be successfully controverted. Possibly our information mv be incorrect, but we think that Mr. II ai stead has solved the problem. No matter what happens his prediction will stand good.

The recent announcement since correctedthat the president did not intend to appoint any newspaper men to office has, of course, attracted a great deal o! attention and been made the subject of many entertaining jests. The Brooklyn Eagle gives some space to a more serious consideration of it, and auiung other things says: There are thousands of country newspaper men seeking toelte out an adequate income from petty hut reepeciatt e Lee 8 by obtaining little places. There' are tens of thousands of hardier henchmen who are seeking the same places as m re-oilt of thir success in making politics indistinguishab.e from criin. The choice between thm is obvious and ßhould not be difficult. This is a phase of the subject which the great editors an 1 the gr-at journls stiould not lose in supercilious geiierabzations, or in surerfine and ethenal theories of treatment. So long as government is run by parties, farties will be run by organ zations. That ong, too. th cause and case of parties will be forwardrd by "workers" and by putting "workers" in places. Among such "workers" country journs'ists are Petter in character and nbintu-s than the brans-throated machinists who compete with them. There is a great deal of truth in this view of the matter. If any class of men fight the battles of a party, the newspaper men do, and when there is a chance to give th- m a lift by an ollice that they can creditably fill they certainly deserve considnration. To bar a man from office on account of his profession would hardly be consistent with American ideas. There was something of the heroic in Tobe, the mammoth old elephant who yielded ouly to death in Peru a dav or two ago. He was surrounded by keepers with spears, pikes and clubs. They wound him around with cords and plunged the sharp war instruments into Irs S tons of flesh but he reiused to yi Id a jot. He was a vicious brute and his keeper determined to subdue htm or kill him. After struggling with the beast for a solid hour he indicated no signs of yielding. Finally he burst a blood vessel and died. He mav have been a very bad elephant, but we admire his pluck. Then, too. what is dear to every American heart, he died game and if he hid had any boots we feel assured that he v.ould have worn them proudly on that occasion. A rnoB a ni.E war in Europe continues to be the subject of discussion in several journals on both s des of the Atlantic. We can see no reason for such a conflict or any near prospects for it. Of cour-e there are people in both hemispheres a ho are in their proper element when a fight is on, but tho vast majority prefer peace. Let us have peace. ET CETEHA.

DEATH OF MRS B. A. EATON.

After an Illness of Several Weeks She Xasses Away. Wednesday morning at 5 o'clock, at the family residence, 327 N. Alabama St., the death of Mrs. Allie Eaton, the beloved wife of Benjamin A. Eaton, managing editor of The Sentinel, occurred. Several weeks ago Mrs. Eaton was taken sick, but, although her condition was known to be dangerous, a fatal result was not anticipated. Throughout the auxious days and weeks that followed the kind hands and loving hearts of ministering angels ev about h r and when, but a few moments before her duath, she bade good-by to the eorrowing husband who had watched unceasing y by her bedside, both day and night, the calm, sweet smile that betokened the coming rest was upon her f.ce. Mrs. Eaton was thirty-two years of age at her death, having been born Jan. 10, 1SG1, at Leavenworth, Kas. Her maiden name was White and she was residing ' in Kansas City, Mo., with her brothers and sisters, her parents being dead, at the time of her marriage with Mr. Eaton, April 5, 1SS3. A few years after their marriage Mr. Eaton came to reside in Indianapolis, where their home had been continuously made up to the present. Mrs. Eaton's death was a great shock ss on Sunday last a change was noticed for the better, and the anxious watchers, gathering comfort from that fact, were not prepared for the eudden attuck that terminated her life. Beside her husband, four brothers and three sisters there are left to mourn the death of Mrs. Eaton three children Althea, aged eight, Ethel, seven and Marie Allen, two. Upon the husband and motherless children does this blow fali with the fu 1 force of a crushing weight, and especially upon the gri -f-stricken husband, to whom the beautiful life cow gone had been a helpmeet indeed. Her every thought was for her home, her children, her husband; her life was eweet in its simplicity its domestic instincts. To her there could be no greater pleasure than the happiness of her own household. "Death, the proprietor of ail," has claimed her, and the e world is better thst she lived. MAY WRIGHT SEWALL'S ADDRESS. She Speaks to New York "Women of tho World' Fair Congress. New York, March lf. Mrs. May Wright Sewall of In iianapolis, president ot the (National women's council, delivered an a Idrei-s this afternoon at the Fifth-ave. ho'el on the. aims and interest of the National women's congress, to be held in Chicago. May 15 to 23 The audience was composed exclusively of women. Mrs. Sewall said that much credit and honor was due to Mis. Potter Talmer and to Mrs. Charing Henrotin for foi initiating the plans aud arranging for a world's congress of representative women. It was hoped to represent ail activities in which women wire enaged. It was not proposed to promote any one line of action. The degree of success was evinced. Mrs. Sewail sail, by the tact that forty-five oganizations had come into the congress in the Uuitd Mates. twelve from Eng and and two each from Finland. Norway, Germany, Sweden and France. It was, she eaid, to be in all respects a memorable affair and thev wi-hed to honor most the country which first gave the world a Columbus. Thev were building an srt palace in Chicigo for the accommodation of those attending th congress. The prenidents of two South American republics were coming to the congress to speak in behalf of the women of their respective countries. SENATOR BOYD IN TROUBLE. He Is Sued for ltatardy by Mrs. MaryDavis. Thursday afternoon proceedings were ! instituted in Squire Bussell'a court of Noolesvil e by Mrs. Mary Davis of this city against State Senator Thomas E. Bovd, charging him with being the father of her unborn chil l. The news was as startling to the citizens of Nob'esville as a clap of thunder from a clear sky and it spread over the city with the rapidity of a w stern cyclone. Shortly alter the facts became known the senator was seen by a Sentinll reporter and asked concerning the matter. He said it was a ciar case of attempted blackmail a scheme to get money from hi i', which he proposed to fiuht to the bitter end.

SUNDAY THOUGHTS! ON MORALS MANNERS

Hi CLKRQTMA.X There are those in the community who would have us believe that inte lecual training is a panacea. The spelling book and the rule of three if mixed and swallowed aid cure all the ills that flesh is heir to some are assured. No one denies the virtue of sound intellectual training. But this can never be a reformatory power. And the reaon is obvious. Man is not a being of mere intellect He haa appetites, passions, and emotional nature. However broad and deep his mental culture, he wid be, as a rule, far more readily and powerfudy actuated by feeling than by ioW-llnct. This was the case with Bacon, "the greatest, wisest, meanest of mankind." Daniel Webster was an intellectual giant; he was also a sot and a rake. The most prominent French statesmen of our day are men of the finest culture, but they are libertines almost without exception. The late M. Gambettadied with his mistress audit ia charged by her hand. Pass over the boundaries of Christendom, and the insufficiency of intellectualism is sejn more clearlv, because even the intellectualism of Christendom is unconsciously permeated and colored by Christianity. Seneca was a supreme exponent of mental development among thy classes. Turn to his life, and, as Macaulay says, hear him "declaim in praise of poverty with two millions sterling out at usury; see him meditate epigrammatic conceits about the evilsof luxury in gardens wbw h moved the envy of sovereigns; listen to his rants about liberty whiie fawning on an indolent tyrant; and notice how he celebrates the divine beauty of virtue wi'h the same pen which ha I just before written a defense of the murder of a mother by a son." The two most intellectual men of their day were Cic ro and Julius Caesar. Cicero writes a letter to a friend in which he tells him that he has just feasted with Ciosar. He says that they talked politics rec.imng at the tab e. eating aud drinking for some time, and then took an emetic, and af er the effects were over took wine to revive them, and got fresh viauds, ami at once reclined at another least. So that then as now the two most vulgar of appetite, viz., gluttony and wine-bibbing were beyond intellectual control. Heathendom today shows us the same thing. Prof. Seelye after his return from India told us that be met among the Hindoos many of the ripest scholars anywhere to be found. But theirs is unadulterated intellectualism. What has it done for them lor India? Poligamy abounds. Woman is live bric-a-brac. ( aete splits Hindoostxn up into classes, betwixt which there is a strict non-intercourse as there was between France and England in the days of the first Napoleon. "Aud of a l liars," says Prof. Set-lve, "the educated Hindoo is the chief." The most eminent exponent of intellectualism in our times was the late John Stuart Mid. His sad and cheerless biography was given to the world a few years a:o. His learning was simply amazing. Nurtured in unbelief, schooled in absolute atheism, he set out in life with the idea that intellectualism was the omnipotence which should perfect mankind. But he had hardly reached his twenty-firot year Lefore his thought and observation convinced him that intellectualism alone was fatally defective. To this, therefore he added the culture of sentiment practically recognizing the fact that mankind are governed more by feeling than intellect only. Unbappi y. instead of proceedii g to tiie true source of high feeling in rel gi n, he re.-ted the cultivation of feeling in sentimetit, in rmifie, painting, poetry, and in what the Scotch call lhe humanities. At twenty-five he met -Mrs. Taylor, whom, two decades later, he married he beca ne his divinity, the shrine before which he worshiped. Writing after her death, he said : "Her memory is to me a religion, and her aptobation the standard by wheh, summing up as it does, all worthiness, I endeavor to regulate my life." Such ia the testimony of the foremost metaphysician of the nineteenth century, the gieat apostle and hih priest of intellectualism. He himself bears witness by word and deed to the insufficiency of mere intellectualism both as a pn pulsive aud as a restraining power. And being "without hope and without God in the wor d." the typ s hol r of the century closes his books in de pair and goes out to seek his God and create hi-, hope in the realm of fe-ling in love, iu woman !

Il makes its appeal onlv see mdarily, not rri ruaruy, to the mind. It addreases the heart. It know- that if it gets that it gets everything else. Hence Christianity readies down and seizes the motive power in human conduct. It presents a new, even a divine, object of atUction to the heart.
