To Advertisers.

Owing to the pressure of telegraphic and other
news matter from noon up to the moment OF
going TO press, it is absolutely necessary that
al advertisements intended for THE STAR OF
the same afternoon should reach the Office oe.
fore l2 o'clock N.
Thists especially demanded on Saturdays when,
in order To run of the mammoth editions ofthat
day, the presses must start at least one hour
earlier than usual. An observance of this request
will therefore not only be a favor to the office,
but an advantage to advertisers themselves,
since otherwise it is sometimes impossible to
properly classify or even to insert their an
nouncements.

The reports sent out from Washington to the
effect that the District Commissioners are I'm
any way compromised by the developments in
the current police investigation, do a great
wrong 10 these officials, VINO are recognized by
all who know them as entirely beyond any sus-
picion in the matter. But, all the same, they
owe II TO themselves and TO the maintenance of
the high character they hold in, The eommp-
nifty that they should at once stamp oatof eN-

Officers whose places were wanted. In this case

abuses practised under this vile system. and

Public Servants Who Have n Consider alton
for Their Fellow-Men.
Spe .ial to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec 25.-There are a good
many big-hearted men in Congress, notwith-
standing the fact that there are scores of stony
hearted ones. 1t is not true as many people
suppose. that long service in the legislative halls
Of the national capital makes men feelingless.
Some of the kindest and most charitable, and
liberal-mnded statesmen are those who have
man comes in who shows the genial qualities, he
is besieged by the hangers-on, and is preyed
upon until the stuff he is made of becomes
known.
Mr.. Willis, of Kentucky, who was defeated
for reelection because he favored the continue
tion or Mrs. Thompson the postmistress at
Louisville, who is Republican, is one of Gods
noblemen to those who have to run against the
stern men at the Capitol daily. He has the
patience born of Job, and that consideration for
fellow man which characterized some of Jobs
compatriots. After FIVE years of daily contact
with Mr.. Willis, have yet to hear of the first
person who met with curtness or inciviity at
his hands Almost az much, if not quite can
be said of Colonel Henderson OF Iowa. Judge
Houk, of Tennessee Judge Reagan, of Texas;
Judge PaySon, or Illinois; General browne,
of Indiana, ard his confrere, Mr. Owen,
who is rounding up his first term. Mr..
Owen, up to a few years ago, was minister,
and surprised few people by carrying into the
House of Representatives all of those Christian
impulses that he exercised in the pulpit. The
Rev. ]. Hyatt Smith, who was in the Forty
seventh Congress- from Brooklyn, and who ded
the other day and whose memory elected 80
much eoquence and praise from the tongue of
Talmage, was very much the same character Of
man. Neither he nor Mr. Owen announced by
their manner that they had been ministers, even
from the moment they first appeared upon the
floor of the House; but it was plain that there
was an unusual attractiveness about them, even
upon the slightest glance Such men are en-
abled to do much more by keeping in obscurity
the profession they follow, as they were en-
abled to make fast friends and WELD an infu-
ence in all classes When Messrs. Smith and
Owen first appeared in the arena of Legislators
they were sought out by all the old habitues Of
the Capitol who have grievances and measures
but they soon learned that these men had other
missions and were as firm in character as those
of less kindly inclinatons.
1t isn't often that any but intimate friends ap
proach ex-Speaker Randall, Mr.. Hewitt, Mr..
Morrison, Mr.. Bragg, or dozen other men OF
harsh temperament These make up the sterner

HENRY GEORGES PARTY.

Preparations for Properly Impressing the
State Constitutional Convention.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK. Dec. % Henry George and the
leaders of his Progressive Democracy. as he now
calls his land and labor party, are devoting their
energies to preparation for the approaching
State constitutional convention They will make
a great effort to Impress their ideas and demands
upon this body. Mr.. George will be sent as
delegate, and will seek to make himself the fore
most figure of the convention by his fervid elo-
quence and unrelenting advocacy of extreme
measures. He says to your correspondent that
he will not consent to compromises II never
could believe in compromises" he said, disdain-
fully; I'VE shall come before the convention, in
what way remains of course, to be determined,
ready to demand the immediate abolition of all
taxes except on those of land values
alone. good many ether things
kindred to this will be supported by the
Labor party delegates, whoever they may be-"
These kindred things will be very numerous,
and il the convention has nothing more TO do
than discuss and settle the propositions of the
new party, it will be occupied year or So
Among the doctrines and measures TO be advo-
Gated by them will be reform in the jury sys-
tenn; radical and thorough reform of the mu-
nicipai government of this CITY, aiming TO with
draw the responsibility for all kinds of depart
mental work from commissions and place it In
the hands of the Mayor alone-giving him abso-
lutte power of appointment and removal without
reference to the Governor or Legislatures the
granting Of the privilege of suffrage to women;
the making of railroads and telegraph enter,
prises functions of the State; various reforms In
the health laws regulation and decrease in
the number of hours of labor, etc. If the new
party succeeds in getting q respectable represen-
tation numerically in the convention it will
make things very lively for the body.

as are produced by hasheesh, no grotesque delu-
sons or insane imaginings The mental ma
chinery was running with the governor belt
thrown off, and the brain raced, so to speak.
Eight grains. three nights later, produced similar
effects, but did not write and the sensations
became rather painful than agreeable.

no difficulty on quitting the use of cocaine. Ex-
perimenE upon others and observation of the re-
suits Of administering cocaine in cumulative
doses for three months in cases requiring such
treatment have satisfied me that there is no CO.
caine habit When used to cure the opium hab-
it by persons ignorant of the proper way of

opium- eater has habit of having habit and no

''One singular effect of cocaine is that it will

for nine months began to talk within four min
utes afterl had injected four grains, and in ten
minutes she talked at rate that made up for
lost time.i Nothing could stop her. Whether
this property of cocaine is beneficial and desira-
bic, depends perhaps, upon circumstances"

The Views of President Diaz on the Gut
ting Case.
CITY OF MEXICO, Aug, 4-POpular SEN
timent has been so thoroughly aroused here
over the Cutting case and the comments
thereon that representative of the asso-
ciated press called to-day at the castle of
Chapultepec to get the views of President
Diaz. The agent asked Daz: "Do you
consider, Mr.. President, that the case will
lead to trouble?"
II have no apprehension of difficulties
growing out Of such an insignificant affair,
which is only general quarrel between
two disreputable journalists. think that
the United States government was a trife
hasty in the matter, owing, probably, to
the early, and inaccurate and one-sided re-
ports"
President Diaz said that it was rdicu-
lous to suppose, as had been charged in
some of the newspapers, that the United
States government was making a pretext
of the Cutting case to enter into war, for
the United States would not do so without
having got in readiness. The president
did not believe that the American people
were hostile to Mexico.

HOUSE

LEGISLATION MOVING SMOOTHLY.
Mr. Willis, of New York, presented the
conference report OH the river and harbor
bill, and it was read at length.
Mr.. Springer criti cized the bill as re-
ported from conference, because it refused
to accept the Illinois and Michigan canal
and to make an appropriation for the Hen
nepin canal.
Mr.. Miller closed the discussion in a
three minute speech in favor of the report,
which was agreed to-yeas, 121; nays, SO.
Mr.. Burns, of Missouri, submitted the
conference report upon the deficiency ap-
preparation bill, and it was agreed to.
MrjMorrison, of Illinois, submitted the
conference report on the sundry civil bill.
The reading of the report consumed nearly
an hour, and as o'clock was near at hand,
Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, wished its consid-
Grafton to 20 over until tomorrow, saying
that the increased appropriations for sal
aries of officers were unexampled. Mr..
Randall replied that the most of the officers
whose salaries were increased were in the
land offices. The report was then agreed
to-yeas, 1926; nays. 26, and the house ad-
