THE Commercial club, of Indiauapolis has advised against granting a right of way to a new railroad desiring entrance •frfrererand the recommendation meets wiUij approval. The time is not so far awfiy when municipal corporations will jppy handsomely for such rights and "•privileges, which have a pecuniary value far beyond anything their owners are willing to coucode. Such corporations enhance the value of property and promote the growth of communities, but without franchises they would be powerless to do anything. They should pay therefore fov the benefits they have conferred on them.

THE question of the Increase of the revenues of municipal governments to meet the necessarily Increasing expenses incurred by public improvement is one to whi«h the best thinkers of the country are giving much attention. St. Louis has discovered one way of increasing her revenues, and it seems to be a good way. It is in the shape of an ordinance which declares that the safety of the lives and property of the citizens re quires that the net work of wires now strung overhead in the streets of that city should be placed under ground. It provides for the construction of subways, authorising the city to become lessee thereof, to operate aud sub let them. Designed aa a meaua of protecting human life and property it should become a producer of revenue, and if it proves a success, there will no doubt be adopted by many of the large cities. St, Louis evidently isn't such a sleepy old town as the Chicago*®© would have us Relieve.

THK New York constitutional convention is considering the feasibility of submitting to a vote of the women of the elate the question of woman sufferage. It always has beou contended by the opponents of woman suffrage that the majority of the women do not want th® franchise and that so soon as they do com© to want It they will get lt» The proposition in New York is to give the women of the state an opportunity to decide the question whether or not the right of women to rot# la to be established in the new constitution. Surely if a majority of the women are deeirott* of votfnsf they would not fail to go to the poMs *t *0 election, such as the «ne pro* posed, to give evidence of that desire,

of our. laws never con-

templated. __ THKRB is goipg to be a question about the paymentof the militiameti'who were ordered out by Governor Matthews during the recent coal strike, and as the amount is close to $20,000 there will be considerable discussion about it. The opponents of the use of thei militia assert that they were called into service at the clamor of the militia staff, which, at the last session of the legislature, failed to get the appropriation asked for. It was thought that the present occasion would serve to demonstrate the necessity of a standing appropriation. The labor organizations will make war on the use of the militia to do police duty, which was all that was done in this instance, the troops patrolling railroad tracks, and nowhere meeting with the semblance of a riot. The militiamen themselves are much opposed to being ordered to such duty. If the right thing oould be done the sheriffs whose failure to do their duty necessitated the calling out of the soldier boys, would be compelled to foot all the bills. |K

A COMMITTEE of the New York legislature is investigating the New York City police department, and some of the testimony introduced is almost enough to make one ask himself whether or not free government isn't a failure when such things are possible. It has been shown beyond dispute that owners of saloons and disreputable houses have paid tribute to the poUe« officials alrofcst princely in its totals, Polico officials working for moderate salaries hav&ln a few years become able to estimate cheirj wealth in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The presumption is strong that if these officials are enabled to levytribute on the unfortunate® th^^are supposed to control, they in ttlrr^fi^st pay tribute to those above them in rwik. And just as the investigation waa taking a turn to implicate the prdsfrineut tnen in the nefarious bu*ln*ss, Mr. Croker the boss of Tammany for many years,suddenly made up his miod t^ co to En*

ostensibly to watch over education of his sons. It is* alleged that he had satisfied himael^ that his Attendance before the Senate police fnvestigalion not be compelled. He was law**®, howmw) that he«hold «««By'

school districts last Saturday, the likelihood is that about all of the votes cast will be iu favor of the franchise and that the total of these will not be one third of the women in the state. The New York plan ought not to be accepted as complete unless it is provided that a majority of all the women entitled to vote shall oast their votes in favor of the franchise. No one doubts that the great majority of the women of the country would be found voting for what-is best for the people but if only the element that is bad In itself should vote better government, especially in the cities, it would be even more difficult, than at present to maintain a high standard of government _____

THAT was a queer decision given by an Indianapolis judge this week, in the case of the two policemen who murdered a man who was attempting to esoape arrest. He gave it as his opinion that the law is that when an authorized police officer has positive knowledge that a felony has been committed and saw a person running away from the spot he had a fight to shoot if the person would not stop when ordered to do so. The prosecution did not dispute this oonstrtiotion of the law, and the officers

were

discharged, although clear

ly guilty of an unprovoked murder. A polioeman is a conservator of the peace, and has no more right to commit murder than any, private citizen. It is a good thing that the opinion of this Indianapolis judge does not prevail in every locality, for by its enforcement a policeman would be at the same time judge, jury and executioner, something that the

ONE of the questions'that demands immediate action by our national ijfegislature is that of the regulation of immigration. Both leading parties have for many years fought shy of the question, but the number of undesirable foreigners who come to this country every year has become an alarming total, |nd it is high time something was done, If done successfully it must be divorced from politics, so that any political eff#ts from a restrictive policy will not be lorne by any one party. A plan has b®n suggested to the effect that congress could oreate a national commission of fifteen members, representing all partl^L The commission would consider th^entire immigration question, changing and ap plying old laws and suggesting new ones. The code thus submitted would be passed on by oongress, and this way broad restrictive measures might be secured without exciting any bitter party animosity. Congress could do no more popular thing right now than take up this matter promptly and vigorously. The only question is, can the present congress act promptly and vigorously on any matter?

cepted by the press and public as confession of partnership with the alleged bribe-takers and blackmailers of the policy department. Once on the witness stand and before the adroit lawyers who were conducting the investigation, Mr. croker would have had a search light turned on his record that would have made him cringe. Discretion taught him that he could not afford to go through it, and he fled. His flight, leaving the others to fight his battles, will no doubt encourage them to tell more than thev otherwise would have done, and before the committee finishes its work the public will learn more than it has known positively for many years of how that great city has been misruled and pii^d- mm

ANOTHER Bellamy scheme has gone up in smoke. Some time ago a number of Kansas men organized a oo-operative colony to create a modern Utopia in Mexico. They were from the middle class usually, and they readily gave up their little hornet secured after-years of toll and saving, that they mign^find means with which to join one or |the other of the numerous parties that have taken the long and arduous journey to "the land of promise," only to find disappointment, disaster and, in many instances, death. A gentleman who is in a position to know the truth is authority for the statement that no less than $1,000,000 have been lost by the colonists. Many have returned, penniless and disheartened, but yet glad to escape the horrors and discomforts of the expected Eden. The time has not yet arrived when men who are willing to work can devote their time and labor in support of others who believe that the world owes them a living. Bellamyis^ looks nice on paper, but it will not stSRd the practical test of experience.
