NFV CANON or CRITICISM

new canon OF Mugwump criticism has been
formulated. Mr.. Spohord has considered it
his duty to ccnsure the Secretary OF State for
unconstitutional and unpatriotc action. Ihe
Ercning Post, instead of giving him credit for
non part lsanship and independence of Judg-
mcnl, Dronounccs him a ldckguard, whose
mouth is crammed with bllingsgatc, and de-
nounccs him oI bis treachery to his party. 1t
remarks:
THIS the real slang market and Is all the
more reprehensibe less eycusabe, since il is the
utterance OF prominent Democratic politician and
lawyer anst Democratic Secretary OF State, formerly
partys leader Senate. who has been deemed by
and very respectable section OF tho party these
many years he the nttest man Tor the Office OF Pres
don't OF the United states. Such talk Mr.. spoiords
discredt aud injury to the American Fishery
Union. lie ought 10 he paid % anl discharged.
When Mr. Blaine was Secretary of State The
Post, which had not at that time deserted to
the Democracy, mercilessly assallcd every one
of his State papers and public acts. TO repeat
It's present rule of party action. its conduct was
all the more rcprehensibIe, or less excusable,
since its criticism was the utterance of a Re-
publican journal against Republican Secretary
OF Stale, formerly the party's leader in House
and Senate, who had been deemed by large
and very respectable section of the party for
many years to be the fittest man for the office of
President of the United States. When our
contemporary reyerts to its own malcvolcnt
structures upon Secretary Blaine and regulates
them by its new canon of political criticism, 1t
must be abashed by the glarng evidences of its
own deprayty. 1t will be a particularly
deadly parallel for Its own notions OF consist
ency.

IT is proper to say, in reply to number
of inquiries, that ''Sam" Jones is not to visit
indianapolis in obedience to the invitation of
the Ministerial Association of this city, or of
any number of ministers of any one or of sew
eral denomina tons. No action has been taken
by any association of ministers looking to the
invitation of Mr.. Jones, and his meetings here
will not be under any such auspices. So far
as is known, Mr. Jones comes here in response
simply to personal invitation, and that OF
but one, or possibly two or three ministers, at
the outside. This will answer numb er OF
questions asking under what auspices the
Sam Jones meetings will be held. The un-
Outstanding is they are to be held In the new
City Hall, which has been granted by the city
authorities for the purpose.

The horrible disaster reported from Kansas
City is little short of murder, especially so far
as the killing of the dozen or more SCHOOLGIRL
dren is concerned. The school building had
been twice condemned as unsafe, once within
a short time, but no attention had been paid
to the matter. It is difficult to speak Of such
an affair with any restraint. The law should
put its hand upon the culpably in
different members of the school board
who are directly responsible for the slaughter
of the innocents. This dreadful occurrence
reminds us that there were those in this city,
both in the School Board and out, who did
all they could to invite like disaster here by
continuing the occupancy of the old High
school rattle-trap; and some Of them are not
yet through condemnipg the honorable mem
bers of the board, who rightously
insisted that if the High-school was
to be continued at all it should be continued
in safe structure. The dozen dead and
mangled little ones in Kansas City should stop
the mouths of those who complain of the new
High-school building, particularly as their
criticism is not honest, but is based on per-
sonal spite and infamed vanity.

The popular subscription for the benefit OF
the gallant Chicago police who suffered by
the explosion of the dynamite bomb is steadily
being increased and the amount now reaches
nearly $5O,OOO,, So, 125 of which was sub
scribed on Monday. 1t is evident that the
people of that city intend to back up the au-
thorities in the war against lawlessness.
They should show the same zeal in seeing to
it that the miscreants now under arrest
are properly punished. To allow them to
escape, for any reason, would destroy the
wholesome effect that would follow their con-
viction and hanging. Nothing less than
hanging should be thought of.
