THE soLpIERs, ORPHANg HOME.

One of the acts of the last Legislature
which has failed to receive its just amount
of public criticism and condemnation is the
one practically abolishing the Soldiers's Or
phans Home at Knightstown. A sketch of
the history of the home is necessary to a
ted by the law referred TO- By the act of
March IL, 1867, the Legislature established
the Indiana Soldiers and Seamen's Home
at Knightstown. 1t provided for the care of
the necessitous orphans and widows of de-
ceased soldiers and seamen. (See Revised
Statutes, sections 1928 to 2,S34.) Prior to
this similar institution had been estab-
lished there by private philan-
thropy. Some $4,000, more or less, was
subscribed by individual citizens of the
State for this purpose. The sub
scribers appointed trustees and the
trustees purchased the site of the present
institution, which at the time had suitable
buildings upon it, and started the Home.
Upon the passage of the act of 1867 these
private trustees by deed conveyed the prem
ises to the trustees appointed by the State
under the act, for the purposes, of course, of
Soldiers Orphans Home. 1t continued to
be used as such until the Legislature, by act
OF March Is, 1879 (Rev. Stat, sec. 2,s11 ct
seq J, established the asylum for Feeble
minded Children" to be located at the "Sol-
diers Orphans Home near Knightstown."
This act provided that the board
of trustees for the Asylum for Feeble
minded Children should have charge, man
agement and control of the Soldiers
Orphans Home" and at the same time the
office of trustee of the home was abolished.
Not content with this partial diversion of
the original trust the last Legislature practi-
cally abolished this charity as a Soldiers
Orphans Home. 1t enacted law changing
the name to the Asylum for Predetermined
Children" and now. by favor of the last
General Assembly, the orphans of our
soldiers are graciously permitted to
partake of the charity of an
Asylum for Predetermined Children"
This is an insult and outrage which the SOL
diers of Indiana will not forget 1t is the
peryersion of sacred trust. 1t is under
stood the matter will be called to the atten-
ton of the Grand Army, at its State encamp-
ment to-day, by the George H. Thomas post
of this city. 1t is due Governor Porter to
say that the act became law without his
consent.

THE Lawrenceburg Register, Democratic
takes no stock in the drivel now running as
a serial in the columns of the Sentinel about
the passage of the appropriation bill on the
sixty-first day of the legislative session. DIR.
Hunter says:
1--WE cannot see that there was any neces-
sty for postponing bill to the very verge of
adjournment, that was so general in its char
acter as the appropriation bill for the pur-
pose of securing a local bill, that only affected
so small portion of the State as the police
bill does, 1t is our duty to look at these
questions honestly, and avoid establishing
precedents that in the future we will not feel
disposed to indorse, The constitution of the
State says: No bill shall be presented to the
Governor within two days next previous to

students Especially ought the members of
the Methodist church, under whose patron
age the institution was organized
and has been maintained, to rally
in this great opportunity. Though
recognized as UNCONVENTIONAL institution
this college, like others of its kind in the
State, offers equal advantages to all, without
respect to religious proclivities, who apply
for admission and are willing to comply
with its simple regulations. Hence this en-
terprise is of public interest, and is entitled
to the benefactions of any who desire the
prosperity of the Commonwealth. A college
of this high order and repute ought not
longer to seem to beg for financial support.
If this undertaking is successful the
university will be able largely to take care
of itself in the future. Wealthy persons
among the alumni, and Others will volun-
tarily make their gifts for specific or favorite
purposes, and no general movement will
again be necessary. The emergency calls for
a vigorous and united effort

AsBURY UNIVERSITY.

We understand that the movement prompt
ed by the munifcent offer of Mr.. W. c. De-
PAW for the more liberal endowment of
Asbury University is being pushed with re-
newed vigor. From the central committee,
having headquarters in this city, we have
received circulars which state that it is now
certain that the citizens of Greencastle and
vicinity will meet the conditions required of
them in the purchase of real estate. To re-
count briefly: Mr.. DePauw proposes that if
costing about 100000, and other friends will
give $685. on the endow ment. he will at
once give 100000 and provide so literally
in his will for the university that it will
probably realize over one million dollars
from his benefactions This is magnificent
proposal, coming appropriately from native
citizen of Indiana, who has gained
national reputation, but takes
unusual pride and interest in build
ing up the institutions of his own
State The conditional offer has its palpa-
BILE advantages. 1t is generally expected &C.
cording to business customs, that the people
of place which is to enjoy the local bene-
fits OF an extensive establishment like this
should secure suitable grounds for the pur-
terest in the enterprise, it is probable that
the necessary sites could not have been OBJ
tanned except at exorbitant rates. On the
other hand, the demand for a popular sub
scription on the endowment will interest
the public in the institution, both in its
financial and educational enterprises, and
its future will be more promising A col
leee must have something besides money. 1t
must have friends, reputation, opportuni-
ties, hopes. These will be largely secured if
these conditions are accepted. Hundreds OF
people will be personally identified with the
success of the enterprise by their financial
contributions for its development. The cir
culars issued appeal to the friends of the
university now to give substantial
aid in order to secure the
amounts offered by Mr.. DePauw. who limits
the acceptance of his proposal to next Au-
gust. About one-third of the required sub
scription has been pledged, and the COM
mittee state that the remaining amount can
be obtained if the friends and patrons will
engage in systematic effort to raise it.
Such happy consummation ouldamake
Asbury one of the best endowed colleges in
the West, and indeed in the whole country.
Indiana would have occasion to take greater
pride than ever in its institutions of learn
ing. Asbury heretofore has done good work
in the cause of education, not only for this,
but also for other States, and many leading
public men are of its alumni or former

SIDNEY SMITH, referring to the troublous
condition of Ireland in his day, thus ex-
pressed himself:
"Why attribute it TO any other cause but
the right-to any other cause but the scanda-
lous oppression of British rule? If you tie your
horse up to gate and beat him cruelty, is he
vicious if he kicks you? If you have plagued
and worried mastff dog. for years. is he
mad because he flies at you whenever he sees
you? Hatred is an active, troublesome pas
sion. Depend upon it, whole nations have
always some reason for their hatred. Before
you refer the turbulence of the Irish to en-
durable defects in their character, tell me if
you have treated them as friends and equals?
Have you protected their commerce? Have
you respected their religion? Have you been
as anxious for their freedom as your own
Nothing of all of this. What then? Why,
you lave confiscated the territorial surface
of the country twice over; you have massa-
cred and exported her inhabitants; you have
deprived fourfifths of them of every civil
privilege; you have at every period made her
commerce and manufacturers slavisbly sub
ordinate to your own; and yet the hatred
which the Irish bear to you is the result of
an original turbulence. of character, and of q
primitive, obdurate, wildness, utterably in

Mr.. Moody, Mr.. Speaker Bynum's puppet
on the floor of the House in the conspiracy
to defeat the general appropriation bill,
cards the Sentinel with an alleged "fnd" of
bill passed by the Legislature of 1868 on
the sixty-first day of the session, but not
signed by Governor Morton. If a bill passed
on the sixty-first day of the session can right
fully and constitutionalIy become
law, will Mr.. Moody conde-
scend to explain what he meant by exhaust
ing the time of the Saturday night session,
against the repeated personal circumstances
of Mr.. Jewett Senators Bell and Magee and
Others. Did he not say he was doing it to
defeat the bill? Was not that his avowed
purpose? Did he dream of the passage of
the bill on the following Mon
day? Even Mr.. Moody may be
charitably supposed to have enough mind to
comprehend the fact that if law can be
properly passed on the lastday of the session,
he acted the obstructionst on Saturday night
to no purpose. Were. Mr.. Speaker Bynum
the fool on that Saturday night? We should
like to have Mr.. Moody or any other Demo-
cratic obstructionist explain his conduct on
Saturday night, if the present paltry excuse
that bill can be properly passed on Monday

THE superintendent of the public schools OF
New York favors the establishment of reforma-
tory schools for the discipline of habitual
truants, unruly children, and such others be-
tween the ages of eight and fourteen who are
found wandering in the streets during school
hours without lawful occupation. Teachers
with unmauageable urehins in charge could
then avoid the evil of expelling them, and thus
throwing them into idleness and bad company,
by turning them over to the reformatory school.
The idea is probably good one, and will doubt
less commend itself to teachers whose lives are
made burdens by the misbehavior of one or more
ill-trained children, the removal Of whom would
be relief as well as a benefit to the other pupils
Whether the teachers of the reform schools
would come from volunteer ranks may be
doubted.

A READER.
In the fourth presidential election, 1900,
Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr were candi-
dates for President, and each received seventy
three electoral votes. On the thirty sixth ballot
Thomas Jefferson was elected by the House OF
Representatives, Mr.. Burr becoming vice-presi-
dent. Jefferson at first received the votes of
eight States and Burr six. two States being
equally divided; and their votes, therefore,
blank. This was the status until the de-
cisive ballot, when these two States-Ver-
mont and Maryland-voted for Jefferson, giving
him ten States

AN infamous and bastard trick seems to
have been played upon both the Journal and
Mr.. William Wooster, of Montezuma, by
some mscreant who forged the signature of
Davis e. Aikens to letter, the gist of which
was published yesterday, to the effect that
Mr.. Wooster had been arrested and placed in
custody. The letter gave all the crcum-
stances in detail, and we had no reason to
doubt its correctness. 1t seems to have been
a malicious lie concocted by some enemy of
Mr.. Wooster, whose teeth he has been made
to feel before. Mr.. Wooster is vouched for
as perfectly reliable and upright
man, one who has lived without the
faint of reproach, but who has developed
bitter antagonisms because of his bold stand
upon certain moral questions, particularly
the temperance question. 1t is believed that
