One thing to be kept in mind 5s 'that many of the forces that appear in the next campaign are today among the unseen the silent forces that are actively and persistently at work all the while. There was no cause for surprise when Mr. Ilanly announced that he would continue the management of our State benevolent institutions on a non-partisan basis. It was to be expected by everyone who knew the man, and also of the party that elected such a man governor of the State. -oNewspapers that advertise them selves as independent Republican or as independent and yet accept the itariff vagaries of the book makers imagine that there is to be a revision of the tariff schedule' that will please them. They are going to be very much disappointed. Many of these papers" and many of the wirters on these papers have derived most of their opinions on the subject from the book shelves rather than from the facts of life as they. actually happen and they lack a good deal of being protectionists at heart. There are a good many reasons to believe that the complacency with which they now look upon the prospect of tariff revision will give away to considerable disappointment when the new schedules appear. It is to be hoped so at any rate. For such appears as that lack a good deal of being Republican and also a great deal of being safe advisers of the Republican party. 0England Takes Up Greene and Gaynor Case. ;'- London, Dec. 12. The case of Ben jamin D. Greene and John F. Gaynor who were implicated with Oberlin M. Carter in the notorious Savannah river contract seandals and who tied to Canada to get beyond American jurisdiction were taken up by the P, rivy Council ,:. of England today. This tribunal corresponds in dignity and importance "to the United States supreme court and it is hoped to obtain from it a decision which will place the exiles in the 5 hands of the

hk United States 'authorities. ' -

s 4 J Proceedings for the extradition of Greene and Gaynor were begun as soon as the American authorities received information that they had tak . en tup their residence in Montreal three 3ears ago, but they came to a farcial termination. The petition taken up by - the "Privy - Council today, if granted will mean a great victory for the United States. Both sides have-an eminent array of coun

sellors to appear before the tribunal.

A Kokomo firm ' has hit upon a novel scheme for avoiding the pavmen of exhorbitant street improvement taxes and still maintain the ownership of the property. The usual method of procedure was had in making the assessments according to the provisions of the Barrett law. The assessment was considerably above the saleable market value of the property. The owners hit upon the scheme of letting the property be sold for taxes. and then buying it at the sale This method of sidestepping the aw is said to be possible under the nmont wruoh Ll that assessment for improvement of property may be collected only to the amount that the property is erty can ahrdlj" be considered worth more than it will sell fbr on sale, the owners will no doubt still hold the property and avoid the payment of exhorbitant improvement tax.

The poliee learned yesterday JSJZSTJA out iii nut rvn a similar, g in East Germantown with even better success and had then ''taken to the woods. ' ' , - Worked at Germantown. There is no doubt but! what the same man approached a woman in East Germantown on Friday after no anJ worked . Jomaii for Daggett and told her that he was in charge of a gang of men which was doing construction work on the in terurban line. The stranger put up nearly the same story that he had used in Richmond with the exception that he did not promise any one a position. He claimed that he was going to discharge one of the men and that he only had a twenty dollar TT , , ,r ,x , . , him the necessary $o.2o until he had , , . , , , , obtained change at a nearby store. Mrs. Daggett readily consented to the plan and lent the affable stranger the required amount. Needless to say .- ..,. ... , . she is still waiting for her change. Thel ocal marshal was notified later in the evening but the confidence man had left Germantown and it is thought that he went south toward ,ru T . Milton. Inquiries in the vicinitv of towns south of Germantown yester day afternoon by a representative of this paper were made in regard to . , , , , , the stranger but nothing could be , , , ., . . , . . , learned and it is thought that he has disappeared for good . , xiiuru vase. ADout a month ago a man ap proached Mrs. Lin Minnicks at 510 orth Fifth street, and claimed that ne was a contractor and needed a number of men to go to work for him- made a proposition to Mrs Minnick that he would give her husband and her son work at much bet ter wages than they were getting at that time. The father was to work in this city, while the son was to be sent to Eaton, where the stranger claimed that he had a large amount of work to be done. He furlher arranged to board himself- imdj two other iron with Mrs. Minnicks. 'Aft er making all arrangements ha put up a story of how his tool -Chest was in the express office and he could not. get it out until he had received some money -trom his firm, lie asked -Mrs. Minnicks for a loan of three dollars a half. Mrs. Minnicks let; him have the mney and she has not'seen tlie ma" nr the money since.

Last evening Dr. Baldwin gave a talk before the Christian Association of Earlham College on the Practice of Medicine a Christian Life Work. Dr. Baldwin is a strong speaker and has a particularly forceful and convincing delivery. In the course of his talk he said that on the basis of tarnincr ft livinsr ftlone no nrofessw x sion is worth while, but every man or ed the various professions and went on to show how the doctor was more closely connected with ones; private life, and therefore in better position to influence a man for good or evil, than any other professional personage. .. Earlham College is fortunate in having a strong Christian Associatiou which has in the past years' aecomplished much good and is aow doing a "great deal for the betterment of the whole student body." The organization now has over a hundred "members only three of whom are day students. This is rath er sr small representation for seventynine day students and efforts should be made to interest more of them in the work. . It seems strange that a city the size of Richmond should be without. ia Christian Association. A number

Since then the question has been agitared a number of times but with no results. Richmond is sorely in need of such institution. Lately we have heard a good deal of talk about the pool rooms, curfew At Earlham College Talke Before . - .f . as yet have heard nothing of real solution of the problem. A more commendable work than the founding of a Christian Association in Richmond could scarcely be selected by some of our good citizens who are attempting to reform the present conditions among the youth of the city. JAUNTING GAR Of the Irish Variety The Cost, etc., Given. (Vance Thompson in Outing.) There are in Dublin about 2,000 public ears. For a license the owner pays one pound and the driver, for his license, pays half a crown down and a shilling a year. Of course, well-to-do people have care of their own. The Dublin doctors who used to drive soberly in victorias, "how cut about, in cars like the rest of the world. A car costs from 40 to 55, thousrh you. may pi?k up one without rubber tires for thirty sruineas. A deal of work goes to the making. From start to finish it takes one month to complete a car. The wood used is birch or walnut, usually American wood. The birch car stands the weather far better than the soft-grained walnut. Moreover, it will take paint, and eighteen coats are laid on. ' The cushions are near ly alwavs" of cloth. Lance wood or hickory go into the shafts. Underneath the car there is a movable well for bags or dogs. From Dublin these cars are shipped the world over. (Cars are made, too, in Derry; but I was there of a Sunday and Derry was dead; I am of Tom Moore's opinion: said he: "To the devil I pitch a Protestant town of a Sun day!") They go to England, to In dia, to Johannesburg, to New York, to Chicago,' to Springfield and .Cali fornia; the ear, follows the exile. It is a pretty fancy and not without a touch of sentiment.

In the first place the motion of well balanced car is delightful; then, too, vbu can see well about you; and you are near the horse. So far as the horse is concerned the ve hicle is a kindly one. If the car be rightly loaded, there is no weight on the nag's back. Moreover, it is easy hauling, for the horse is well under his work. THEY ALL GO.
