POLITICS OF THE DAY

HI “i a Empire building always bas a jagged road to travel, even when guided by the slruug arm us despotlgiH;"and constant care and a stern rule is necessary to kjgep subjects In subjection. Under h republic the governed arc opt to ape the governors and want more freedom t|tan il ls convenient to glye them. In this age of newspapers and telegraphing. -when knowledge runs, to and. fro sb that even the semi-clvtltzed peoples have heard of or read that '‘all men prfy created j equal,. With inalienable rights,” they are pretty sure to want rights to ,a 11 and special privllegeslo hone, or stir up trouble If they are denied those fundamental democratic propositions. Thus York World, noticing events its they occur, says: ‘‘President- Boppayalt-- Is wanted in Washington. The steeds of empire are taking the bits between their , teeth, and a strong hand is needed on the j Vw-rr 7RT V • bur subjects In Porto Rico have been Infected by the singular Idea that the laws of the United States are as binding upon their rulers as upon ...\Y(ieji n .

In our turn, what is the use of haring an empire if you are not to have any of its privileges? if you are going to be tied down by laws all the time you might as well stick to the old republic, What Is the constitution, between expansionists? It doesn't follow the flag, anyway.

If you land at New York with three suits of clothes and a box of cigars In your trunk your belongings will be dumped on the wharf and you will be held there like a convicted criminal while the taxgatherers are turning the Diugley screws on your suffering pocketbook. But that is buslnegp. It is not the government that squeezes you, but protection.

In Porto Rico she tariff la merely a matter of public revenue, and, moreover, that revenue da used for the benefit of the Porto Ricans, not of Americans.

The astronomers tell qs that the weather is governed by spots on the sun and that these spots were the cause of the panic of 1802-3. As spots are again appearing and the weather In consequence is very unseasonable, another panic is probable unless the astronomers are mistaken. President Roosevelt did not care to tackle the'T'lowa Idea” when. In the Hawkeye State, though It was the paramount question that the people were Interested In. There la a vast difference between the President sleeking a renomlnatlon and trying to propitiate ail" tactions of ihe*Republican party and the strenuous Rough Rider.

G. A. R. OF INDIANA.

ITB ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT AT ANDERSON. Veterans Are Finely Entertained by People of dPatrlotlc City—Ore** Parade and Mvlnu Flag -Judge Grubb la .Elected Department Commander. Andtnon correspondence; . i When the twenty-fourth annual encampment of the Department of Indiana, Grand Army of the Republic, opened in Anderson everything that a patriotic and enterprising, city could tender bad been turned over to the old boys in blue and their wives, daughters, sisters and friends and Jbe veterans were supremely happy. The old soldiers had full sway, and they made the beat of ft. They were here by the thousands, and with them those who love them dearly from every corner of Indlaun. v Wednesdny’s morning session was devoted to routine work, and the formal exchange of greetings. Mayor John I. Forkner, on behalf of the city, in an eloquent and happy address, assured the veterans of the sincere pleasttre, on behalf of the city, to welcome them to its midst. The occasion was one which will be treasured by Anderson for years to come. It was this city which, three years ago, was the first in tho United States in which the citizens took charge of arrangements for observance of Memorial day, relieving tho old soldiers of the duty of shaping affairs for that day. The reports of the department officers were submitted. Benjoman Starr of Richmond, retiring department commander, reviewed the work during his regime, and as part of the address referred to the dedication of the great monument at Indianapolis, under G. A. U. auspices, incorporating therein a description of the incident when the old flag bearers received back the regimental flags for reconveyance to. the State . capitol, never again to be produced in public, and incorporating ns a part the poem by James Newton Matthews of Mattoon, III.: “Take back the battered banners froij| the laughing light of day.” Nine posts were organized during the year and the number of pasts in gaod standing at the close of the year wa* 420. While nine were <organ|ged,--'fourteen -were disbanded. The k>B6 by death and transfer was 549, but the gains reduced this to 220. Special praise was awarded the State Soldiers’ Home and the work of the W. R. C., and ail departments were urged to give to the W. R. C. their most earnest assistance.

R. M. Smock, retiring adjutant general, showed the total number of members in good standing was 10.830. Expenditures for relief aggregated $1,911.53. Total receipts of the quartermaster’s department, $G,831.45; total disbur.ements, $3,961.65: total assets. $5,090.83.

The formation of the parade began at 12 m., many posts coming from surrounding cities during the morning hoars. A feature was the enormous number of dram corps and brass bands, which made so much noise that Capt. A. I. Makepeace, grand marshal, could scarcely make hfs commands understood. Gov. Durbin and staff made their appearance while the column was forming, and were cheered. The line of march as originally announced was not deviated from, the colnmn marching and counter-marching by the living flag, which was one of the inspiring features of the day. The eighteen hundred children in their red, wi\ite and blue caps and capes, waving red, white and blue kandkerchiefg, aroused the veterans. The flag chorus sang patriotic songs, with a brass band for accompaniment, and thousands of heads were uncovered to the great flag as the veterans marched by. This feature was repeated in the civic parade at night. Ail of the uniformed societies of the city, with visiting military organizations, took part in the evening march. The encampment came to an end Thursday. Following are the new officers: ■ Department Commander Judge Grubbs of Martinsville. Senior Vice Department Commander —J. J. Musser of Anderson. Junior Vice Commander—E. E. Georgia of M uneie. Medical Director—Dr. W. D. King of Greenfield. Department Chapiain—The Rev. Albright of Ifuneie. > •' Assistant Adjutant General and Assistant Quartermaster General—Mr, Nebley of Martinsville. Council of Administration —Col. C. ! C. Schroder of Evansville, George W. Miller of Terre Haute, A. C. McMakin of Fort Wayne and John W. Tingle of Richmond. At the Wototn’s itellif Corps meeting Mrs. Fairbanks, wife of Senator Fairbanks an<fc president Of the Daughters of the American Revolution, was present and talked for fifteen minutes to the convention abqut the work of the corps and praised the work being dope in Indiana. The election cf officers resulted as follows: ' Department President—Mrs. Sarah C. White; Rockville. Senior Vice-President—Mrs. Lydia E. Cook, Anderson. Junior Vice-President —-Mr*.
