The a mend men's to the army appr<t»rlatfon bill, provldln* for the temr-otery government of the PhtUppIneif, and de- • clarttijf what should be the relation b«t ween this CfovereFir nt and Cuba, were • both adopted by the Stnate, awd the army MH thus afr.ended was passed at an early honr this mornln* We have already diseueaed the Cuban proposition. Which. It Seems' 'o It ti d ! r<\ vl'lafion of th* promise that' we mad* to the people of the island. The ipain objection developed w*s to the third section, which giver th* rnited Itaie* the right to in- > tervene In Cuba for the purpose of maintainiac Cuban. Indepe»d-»n(e. Hen*tor *cnes moved to strike this section out. bt* hi* motion was lost. ’Isuer, Senator Fi rnker offered m amendment to this •• teeth n. the eftert of which would have Letfn to cm Mf'Jfch at least In part, the 'object aimed at by F*f*tor Jones, but the Foraker amendment was defeated. It seems probable that there will he serious objection in Cuba U the amend ments ado.ned by the B«nate. Th* eon* ttnutlmml convention yesterday agreed to a set of resolutlohs deflnlnc the relation* between th* two powers. In these the new government I* pledged to make no treaties with foreign power* thst msy. compromise <rr limit the Indofwhdence of Cube, or that msy authorise or-permit •ny power - Inniuoing :>r( rumably. * the United Bities—“to obtain by means of colonisation or for military or naval purposes, or In any othe* manner, any footluM or right or authority over any ;M>rflon of Cuba." 11 1* further provided thnt th# n«w government will not permit Its territory to lie used a* a base of operations agntnst th# United States or against any foreltrn nation. The treaty of Paris Is accepted In Us Entirety, and the government of Cubla proposes to recognise as valid all th* Seta o* the military - government >' during the period of occupation Finally It is declared that “the governtpents of thb United Btates and Cuba ought to , regulate their commercial relations by means of a treaty based on reciprocity and with tendencies toward free trade 111 natural and manufactured products, mutually ataurlng ample special advantages In their respective markets." AJI of which.falls considerably short of the demands made by ; the Senate. There was enm* ‘'sentiment In favor of concurring In the scheme ,oft relations outlined by the Senste, but the opposition to this course was strong. In the preamble to the resolutions adopted by the Cuban convention It was said thnt the convention understood that the purpose of the United States In Insisting on th* resolutions adopted by the American Senate was to preserve the Independence of Cuba, and thst "the suggestion . ap to naval stations was made on those linea." "Hut this In itself," the Convention declares, "would militate against' the tndapendenrp which both parties desire to premerve." 'tff course, that IS true. As we hav# said, the problem fa difficult, though we doubt whether it la as difficult as* our Republican friend# are trying to make out. We still think that Ntte moat Important thing in connection with these negotiations Is thst the Oovarnment of th* United States should honestly keep Its pledff*. t,title need be said about the Philippine arrang«ment.=for. though there wap much denunciation of It, U la only temporary, end can easily be modified when Congress assembles next December. Mon over, it dr>e* not Increase the powers of the Pr-Al-dent. so that the situation will b* no worse under the amendment than fl would be If Congress should adjourn without acting on It. It is provided that all military, .civil and judicial power* necessary for the government of the islands shall be vested In "such manner as th* President of the United States shall direct, for the establishment of civil government and for maintaining and protecting the Inhabitant^ of said Island* In th* fret* enjoyment of their liberty, property and religion." An amendment offered by. Senator Hoar In regard to franchises was gccapted. This provides that all franchises granted under the authority Of the President shall contain a reservation of the right to amend, 'alter or repeal the same! that no sole, lease or other disposition of the public lands shall be made; and that no franchise ahall be granted which Is not approved by the President, which Is mot clearly necessary for the immediate ernmeiu of the Islands amt Indispensable for th# interests of the people thereof, and which can Pot. •‘without great public mischief, be postponed until the establishment of permanent cl?U government " ■Finally tt Is provided that all such franchises shall terminate one year after the establishment of such permanent civil government. Poaelbly nothing better than this could be done with reference to the Philippines at the present time. But the Cuban scheme seems to us very objectionable. GOVERNOR DURBIN'S VETO. Governor Durbin yesterday wisely vetoed the Joss railroad consolidation bill. Now we stNtll have time to consider the measure carefully, and If, after such consideration, the Legislature still thinks It unobjectionable. It can pass »t over *he Governor's veto. It may be that the authors of th* bl»W* necking to accomplish only proper pujgf>»es; but the methods employed to force the bill through the . Legislature have moused a suspicion, which Is not without reason, that the ends sought are not consistent wttjj the public welfare. Governor Durbin does not object to «he provisions of the bill authdri^V^the coneolidstion of railroads, because, as he says, "the consolidating company would

be a domestic corporation, the same as the constituent company which was originally organized under the laws of this State.” and be thinks there might be advantage* to the people flowing from consolidation. But he does 'Object strongly to the acquirement by a foreign corporation of the property and franchises of a domestic corporation. h> purchase or lease. He Insists that the sixth section of the bill, so far from preventing foreiarr corporations that would acquire domestic corporations,-from transferring suits against them to the Felerai .court, i* In reality "so worded at to guarantee to such foreign corporation the righrvof removal." And it would. f course, as the Gpvernor says, be a gre?t hardship to litigants living many miles away from a Federal court. *to be compelled to go »o far from home for redress Governor Durbin says: I f*#i that the railroad companies which have received their franchises fiorn our State, and which ar* now compelled to answer and try complaints In our local State court*, thou Id not be put In a-position ,to compel suitor*- to g> t. th» at the oi

railroad company

Another objection that Governor Durbin make* to the MR I# that If contains no provision reserving* the right of ' the State to amend or repeal the Jaw, if the public Interests should ever seem to require it. He points out that; without such a provision, ,H woiHd '.*e Imposi-ib!*, either urder our State consti?u!Son or the Federal constitution, for the legislature ever to repeal the law a* against a- foreign corporation that had acquired a vested right under the provisions of the bill. The fourth Section, that validating past sales, leases and transfer*, is also objected to, and the Governor close* thus. The State should reserve, and, if need be, exercise Its right to inquire into the authority of any such foreign corporation to enjoy the iran^his'-s of a domestic ci rporatton, and at the same time to remove case? against it from our local courts into the Federal courts oh the giound that is is a foreign corporation. Governor ImrMft’s message is concise sod to the point and freely Justifies his veto. '

arc by., This is' the state qf things they would avoid, but they leave some doubt of the honesty of their declarations when they declare in the next breath that •‘Americans and capitalists want the retention of the United States troops." Their anxiety is Only paralleled by that of Senator Beveridge, who touchingly appealed to the Senate to carry out the purposes of God, and then held up a nugget of gold to buttress his position. Was then* ever in the history of the world sudh a display of hypocrisy as exists today In our dealings with our colonies* Under the cloak of good Intentions selfish interest* can m'vre effectually carry oat their design*.

PROF. ROSS AND ACADEMIC FREEDOM. We can not help thinking that many good people are taking the forced resignation of Professor Roe* from Stanford Unlversity much too seriously. Suppose It be granted that his virtual dismissal was due altogether to the fact that he had proclaimed views on silver, coolie immigration and municipal ownership of street railways that were not pleasing to Mrs. Stanford, we can not see that the action In hi* case I* symptomatic of a decay of academic freedom in this country. For the condition of affairs at Stanford University l* for- th* time being wholly exceptional. When Mr. and Mrs Stanford devoted their vast fortune to the creation of a university, they reserved the right to-. say how the university should be conducted In special emergencies so long a* either of them should live. We confess that we can not sec why they had not a perfect right to do this. They were giving their mTillons to establish a **at of learning which should be a benefaction to the race through the long generations that shall follow'. Why, if they chose, should they not have their w-lshes prevail in some degree during the few short years that remain to them? It may be suppoxed that *Mr. Stanford had. while he lived and that Mrs. Stanford has now what she believes to be the best InWests of the Institution at heart more than any outsiders. If she makes mistakes of Judgment, why. let It pass for that; and do not exalt it Into an attack on academic freedom. The case is too Individual and too exception. 1 to be made to have so wide a sweep. And neither can we see how any man that tries to see clear and think straight can make a martyr out of Professor Rose, or of the other men that resigned In haste soon after Professor Ross was retired. For Professor Ross knew when he went to the university, and the other men knew. that Mr. Stanford or Mrs. Stanford hod tlnal control of the policy of the university If either dealred to assert control. All this Is on the theory that the Interpretation of the case arrived at after laborious Investigation by the committee appointed by the meeting of economists at Detroit in December, Is correct, namely, that the dismissal was because of Professor Ross's presentation ■ to Ids clas-se* of economic views that displeased Mrs, Stanford^ But the case Is still better for the university If we'accept President Jordan's statement that “Professor Roa* was dismissed because tn the Judgment of the authorities he was not the proper mart for the place he held," We k'how of no reason why (hat statement should not be accepted. College- presidents not infrequently tell the truth! JPresident Jordan has always been accounted honest and straightforward. Every one that has ever had anything to do with a college or university faculty knows that It Is no uncommon experience to get a man of most admirable qualities, of high scholarship and all that, who] simply will not do tn the place he holds — he is a round peg In a square hole. He might fi^jAorfecit'- somewhere else. And -such a man It is often a ditfldult and delicate problem to get rid of In a way thsl: wilt not reflect on him‘or make a marfyr of him. Rut this Is somewhat be^fde the point. AU we are urging Is that our friends, the economists and some others, are tahIrg the incident much too seriously. For e\en If their view Is entirely correct, the case ts exceptional — and the condition at Stanford *s temporary; After Mrs. Stanford’s demise, the control will be wholly In the board of trustees, as at other endowed universities. There - ts no tcasop to doubt that as great "academic freedom" will exist there as at any. other American university, in the ten years of Its existence the Ross episode ts unique. President Jordan is himself a man qf the utmost outspokenness, and he Is not the man to tolerate any restriction on freedom of utterance within proper limits. The overwhelming majority of the faculty stand by the university. The institution and its success ara more than any one man. for It Is to endure and grow with ever widenirg influence. The magnifying of the Ross ca*e. in view of all the circumstances. se?ms to- us out of reason.

The attitude of. the Terre Haute papers toward the lynching is ail that could ■be desired. ■ The Tribune declares that "Vigo county and the State of Indiana stand disgract-d unless there*'be prompt and condign punishment meted out to the leaders of the mob." The Express says "we have murdered law and order, have outraged our own enactments and our own system of procedure and made villains of ourselves." and it expresses the hope that “the outraged majesty of the law will now reassert Itself." Nothing could be better than. this. Any note of apology, or excuse, any attempt to palliate the act of the mob, would have contributed to weaken still further the forces that make tor law and order. But the Terre Haute papers have not shirked their responsibility. This ts only one of many demonstrations that the newspaper* of tjie United States are a great conservative influence, and that they are not to be swept from their moorings by the wildest outbreak of popular wrath. \Ve congratulate our contemporaries on their clearness of vision, and on their courage In speaking the truth.

The Canadians are beginning to feel the effects of tbe organisation of the steel combinajJon. The Whitney syndicate had begun the erection of great steel-works at Sydney. Cape Breton; where the natural advantages of tbe close proximity of iron ore to cowl depoeit* ahd of excellent facilities of transportation. ha<j promised great things for the town and' country. The Morgan-Carnegie steel interests were not blind to the advantages nosseased by the Whitney syndicate and accordingly, it lost reported, has succeeded.in absorbing the Whitney properties. Canada is thus placed in a doubtful frame of mind. She-does not know whether the managers of the trust mean to develop the work already begun at Sydney, or whether they .will allow It to remain inactive. The deal, by the way. throws out the suggestion that Canada may. with the develojsro«*nt of the trusts, be closely bound to this country commercially, whether she 1s politically or not. If great combina--tlons of industrial Interests here are big enough to absorb Canada s industries, they may have a powerful effect In developing the annexation sentiment In Canada, espActallyeif Interests In this country are disposed under present pojiticai conditions Ip discriminate against her.

If Cuba Is to be free, why do we 1 not negotiate with her Instead of jlmltlng the conference to what we say about It7 House, bill 48*. giving telephone cot -1 pahles unrestricted rights to place the r posts, etc.. In the stretets and highways of the State ought to “be incontinently killed. The cities and toWns have a right to say something about how their stre*‘s shall be used. ’ | Whether elevation f tracks Is a desirable policy In this cjty at the present time fir not,-we reallfc- can not sec why Indianapolis should not possess the right and power to determine this question, as well ns Chicago or any other city. It was, of courre. Intended by the men that drew the charter that this power should tie conferred on the city. The language they employed was supposed to be broad enough to mean that; It is a surprise to them that Judge Carter could find that it does not mean that. We suppose, of course, the city will carry the case to the Supreme Court. But it is|not at all unlikely that that court will sustain the lower court's' decision, as courts seem Inclined , always to the narrower interpretation of laws affecting the power of municipalities. But all this does not settle • our grade crossing problem in Indianapolis. .It is an evil, and a very serious evil. The authorities gmght to take measures that are within their power to minimise this evil. The railways could be compelled, fqr one thiqg, ■ to pave between the tracks at the crossings. and keep . this pavement * in good repair, so , as to make the crossings easier to wagons and wheels. They . could be required to fence their tracks so as to keep people from walking on them; they could be required to have gates at all crossings ‘ and to keep watchmen at these crossings at all’hours, and they could be required to rua their trains and switch engines so slowly within the city limits as greatly to reduce the danger to life and limb. The whole subject may well r celve renewed attention. N

The House bill to destroy the poultry killing and packing business. Introduced by Representative^Clarke, of this county, which passed the House and »s In the Benate, ought to be promptly killed. It Is stated that the bill was handed to Mr. Glarke by a man who lives next to a poultry-house. It seems almost incredible that a Representative should Introduce a hill qf this kind, simply because a man handed it to him who lives next to a poultryjhouse. Of course. R is not pleasant to Hve next to a poultry-house, por Is It pleasant to live next to a livery stable or an undertaking establishment. Planing mills are not quiet neigh, bora, either. Factories of all kinds artd eke stores do not consist with the ideal residential district. But all these things must and do exist In a city. It Is the prosecution of industries that brings people together to constitute cities. There is nothing tn the killing and packing of poultry to demapd that It should be removed from a city. The city of Indianapolis Is. capable of taking care of any nuisances within Its precincts. Croker says that he ts coming back to this country In time for the campaign. This banishes the hope that he had left the country for good — for the good of the country. The lumber syndicates that have their eyes on the Philippines need close watching.

Among the things done that ought not to have been done by the present Legislature Is the defeat of the bill amending the Nicholson law to provide that remonstrance against a liquor license should stand for six months. The bill Is simply a correction of an injustice that has been worked by other laws since the Nicholson law was passed. At thigt time the county commissioners met of In three months, and remonstrances^ against Uquor licenses stood from one meeting to another. Now the county commissioners meet, each month, and if a community wishes to keep a saloon from being established It may have to remonstrate not merely once within a reasonable time, but once every thirty days. -Manifestly that ought not to be necessary.

The Republicans of Indiana ought to be very thankful to Governor Durbin for his j veto of the Joss railroad bill. Through his act they will be able, to a certain ex- | tent at least, to escape responsibility for ! the measure. For they can say that, [ though tt was passed by a Republican ! Legislature it was vetoed by a Republi- i can Governor, and yan insist that the latter rather than the former represents i the true sentiment of the Republican par- ! ty in Indiana. The refusal of Turkey to pay her debts j makes one feet very much like giving l her a better form of government

Superintendent of Police Quigley is entitled to the thanks of the community for the skillful and able way In which he handled the situation yesterday. There was real danger that the negro Reed might be lynched. As was natural,’ th# feelings of the people of Irvington were deeply stirred, and it would not have takea much to precipitate an outbreak. The police superintendent took nothing icy granted, but rightly acted on the theory that the worst was to be expected. Details N of police, heavily armed, were placed around the police station, and the crowcf. an ; ^st as tt assembled, was compelled to disperse. Fearing that these precautions might not be enough. Mr. Quigley asked the Governor to reinforce him with the State militia, a request with which th# Governor promptly compiled. The soldiers were held In read'iness, and at the least indication, of danger the station house, would have been surrounded by a heavy force of Infantry and artillery. The result was that no mob could have got possession of the prisoner last night. Indeed, all the authorities — State, county and city— fd their full duty. The Governor instructed the militia to be in readinesa, midyitrranged for the furnishing of arms ^rUBhtriff Saulcy, who was himself prepared to act. while Superintendent Quigley used all the force at his disposal, apd was wise enough to call on the State for assistance. There was no delay, no waiting for the mob to assemble, and no foolish assumption that there was no danger We. may say further that, had there been trouble, there would have been no. tiring blank cartridges, and no shooting over the heads of the mob. for the Governor had Instructed the soldiers tnat no such folly would be tolerated. The whole affair was skillfully managed The moral is that it is always wise to get a good start in dealing with such matters. s ,

Born this day. February 28, 1821. at Munf. Aran, Switzerland, German Jewish origin. Her father studied to be a rabbi, but physical necessity caused "him to leave sacred lore and become n traveling peddler. After year* of tramping they settled in Lyons, where the father taught German, the mother sold old clothes, and the girls went singing in cafe* and collecting copper donation*. Rachel was meager, puny, wiry, with gruff, harsh vote*. Her clothes were of the cheapest. but worn w’ith 4 neatness and precision which always characterized he* First appeared on stage 1833. bat did not attract the

Rachel 'was to the continental stage what Siddons was to the English and Cushman to the American stages. She w-as the criterion of comparison. It was. by establishing a likeness in art to Rachel that Bernhardt first aroused enthusiasm. and In many ways Charlotte Cushman seems to-have reaembled the great French woman. They were both unequal in their work, and had a want

of tenderness and soft feeling.

In character Rachel appears never to have been very exemplary or amiable,

There is only One sword factory in the United States-a Massachusetts concern— and that one has ample capacity for supplying tbe domestic demand for swotds. even under the stimulating conditions of the C^uban and Philippine wars.

She seems to have had a burning Intensity and trusted to her acting, not her declamation. Fler great faculty seems to have been Hct by-play, her pantomime. She was the panther of the stage, but could not render soft feeling, J4he moved, stood, glared, sprang. She was.Greek, pagan, statuesque, 'with Jet black hair and marvelous eyes. She <, was rage, acorn, triumph, pride, torture,. malignity and all with Incomparable dignity. But she had ajjsoiutely no sofines. no tenderness. Her voice had irresistible notes, but Its compass seems to hav? been narrow. By common consent, Phaedre Is her masterpiece. In-her parts she prepared every look, tone and gesture with Sa son, and then touched, them with her

Th# Journal still insists that the Cooper anti-mm bill "cieariy definessomething. If any collocation of words in a law was ever more confused and more defiant of grammatical proprieties than this bill, we should like to see It. The Governor would be justified in vetoing th# 611! because It is so bungling!y and obscure'.y worded. But all this was doubtless intentional. The bill is a huge farce. It is simply intended for buncombe — as a pretense of fulfilling the platform pledge. In this respect it is just like Mr. Joss' secondary bill — for it is a misnomer to call it a primary bill.
