THE special election in the Second Kansas
district, for a successor in the House of Rep
resentatives to the late Dudley c. Haskell, re-
suited in the choice of the Republican candi-
date by a majority of more than 5000, an un-
expected and surprising result Kansas is
largely an agricultural State, and the Demo
Gratis precipitated the tariff question into the
contest, hoping to gain through the supposed
free trade tendencies of the farmers But The
people of Kansas are too intelligent. and the
result is a victory of immense proportions for
the advocates of the American policy of pro

the election the Kansas City Times, the Dem

Second Kansas district are drunk with the
prospects of victory tomorrow" The day

THERE was once trial in Chicago involving
the responsibility of an owner of building
for an obstruction over which man fell and
broke his leg. The defense attempted to in
troduce "a cloud of witnesses" to show that
they had passed the same obstruction and had
not broken their legs. The court refused to
hear the irrelevant testimony. The French

that kind of evidence is pertinent.

THE Man About Town, of the Lafayette Sun

Dwenger Geary cemetery case:
'It is understood that Bishop Dwenger and
Father Walters propose following the body and
with pick and shovel disinter it-remove it from
the sacred precincts. Why! Not because Geary
was dissolute but because he had failed during a
certain period to attend church. tits not claimed
that Geary was not Catholic, nor that he did not
believe in every essential of the church. but only
that he was-like the great body of Catholics
throughout the world-lax in the performance
of certain non essential church forms. And this
fact should be kept in mind. The murderer with
the priest by his side as he swings from the gal
lows, receives Catholic burial, but young Geary.

cepting possibly his owns to be buried like an

character. Newspapers of uncertain tenure,
that may be one thing to-day and another to-
morrow, and which cannot be depended upon
either day, may find it necessary to blow
themselves red in the face in protestation of
their principles" but not so the Journal.
Whenever question of importance to the
public is up for decision that public knows
where to find the Journal 1t is generally in
the thickest of the fight doing all it can to
advance what it believes to be for the best in
terests of the whole people And this without
respect to the fact that camp followers, whose
only interest in the contest is gagged by what
they can make out of it, are trumpeting and
cavorting endeavoring to divert attention
from their lack of sense by the volume Of their
noise.
The Journal is not an ''organ." If it ever
claimed to be the ''organ" of the Republican
body vain and weak enough to imagine that he
could speak for so great an organization
II such time there ever was
it has been many years ago. Additional age
and experience have brought with them more
modesty and, we trust, better ability and dis
erection to serve both the people and the party
to the principles of which the Journal is de-
voted. Not an "organ," the Journal is first
a newspaper, aiming to serve all the people in
teligently honestly and with faithfulness.
It is a Republican newspaper, believing that
the principles and policy of the Republican
party are such as will best subserve the high
est good of the country; but in this belief
there is Judgment enough to detect the differ
ence between the wheels of the chariot that
carry the vehicle along and the fly sitting
upon the rim, which, with pitiable assump-
ton, imagnes itself to be kicking up all the
dust
The country is upon the eve of a great
national contest one of as much Importance,
we honestly believe, as any in which the
voters of the nation have been engaged since
those wherein the very life of the gov
eminent was involved. What the
people want in newspaper. is
fair and comprehensive presentation
of all the facts which go to make up the issues
to be decided, accompanied with intelligent
and faithful comment and argument This
the journal is endeavoring to give, not as an
"organ," but as a newspaper, and with the
full knowledge that the people constituting
the majority are of sufficient intelligence and
strength to make up their own minds and to
contemptuously roll over all the would-be
leaders, and ''bosses," and Organs" who may
attempt to do the thinking and the deciding
for them. The Republican party wants no
''organ;" it is too large and too intelligent for
the organship of anybody, great or small,
high or low President, cabinet officer, con
gresham, ward ringsters, professional election
managers, or two-penny newspapers with
cranks attached. The day for CROSSES" and
''organs" of any kind has long since passed
in the Republican party. The Journal is not

THOSE dyspeptic, liver-ridden persons who go
about armed with a vial of pepsin, of which
digestive delicacy they solemnly partake before

following appetizing description of the way
in which pepsin is obtained. A medical maya
zine is authority for the statement that
when hungry pigs see food their mouths

hungry pigs into pen where a trough filled
with food tempts the animals though wire

indication of piety. The demands of society
upon Lenten devotees have been unusually great

the disastrous consequences.

LITERATURE OF THE DAY.
sulgrove's History of indianapolis.


The latest addition to Indiana literature is
Berry r. Sulgroves history of indianapolis and
Marion county, handsome volume of 676 pages,
exclusive of full page engravings. 1O1 in num-
Der, that the volume consists actually of 1868
pages, beautifully bound in morocco cloth. with
leather tips, beveled, and with gilt edges The
reader is struck by the richness and elegance of
the illustrations notably the, numerous fine
steel engravings of prominent men of former
times and of to-day. These naturally at
tract attention first and the leaves
are first searched for the pictures.
The subject-matter is all that Mr. Sulgrove's
qualifications could make it, and no man in the
State, perhaps, is so well prepared to treat Of
this subject as is he, who, by personal acquaint-
ance with the men who have made
county and city, and an accurate
knowledge of events has been enabled to
produce very complete and very satisfactory
history. The book is a complete epitomized
history of the city and county from the earliest
date of white settlement, and the body of his
torical events is literally inlaid with incidents
and anecdotes of early days that must ever pos
sess peculiar interest. The views of the site Of
Indianapolis in 1920 and of the Union
Depot in 1888 particularly interesting to al
not acquainted with the citys growth since those
early years. The views along Washington
street, taken in 1848, 1854 and 1856 have that
struggling appearance of homogeneous and old
fashioned architecture, rather lack of archi-
lecture, OF early times, and it is difficult to mag
inc that our chief thoroughfare looked so rustic
and unpretentious less than thirty years ago.
The author has faithfully recorded the begin
ming and development of town and county; has
recounted the rough experiences of pioneer life,
and the ludicrous mshaps that befell the pio-
neer of fifty and sixty years ago. This book
will be of abiding interest, and its trustworthi-
ness will make it ever an authority for future
generations. 1t is now ready for delivery, and
is a credit alike to author and publisher.
