LONDON, Nov. 2-The Standard, IN bus

the United States would not dare TO treat the
representative of Germany, France, or Rus
STA as it has treated the English ambassador.
In Lord Palmerston's days no English am
bassador would have been exposed 20 such
scurvy treatment Whether Minister
Phelps leaves or not, some eXpedtent must be
discovered to show the United States our
sense of its conduct.
Tie Chronicle says it is impossible to pas
sively submit to a British representative
being treated like Chinese coolie or a pau
per Irish immigrant If England is to pre-
serve her self respect the affrout to her ma
tionai dignity should be resented. 1t is a
pitfnl spectacle for the chief magistrate of
great country to be a party to policy of
insoence and buster for the sake of bid
ding against rival political party for the

since the day He made them nation and voneh-
safed to them free government. With loving
kindness He has constantly led us in the way of
prosperity and greatness He has not visited with
swift punishment our shortcomings, but with
gracious care lie has warned us Of our depend
ence upon His forbearance, and has taught us
that obedience to His holy law is the price of a
continuance of His precious gifts.
In acknowledgement of all that God has done
for us as a nation and to the end that on an APP
pointed day the united prayer and praise of a
grateful country may reach the throne of grace,

On that day let all our people suspend their

songs of praise, render thanks to God for all His
mercies for the abundant harvests which have
rewarded the toll of the husbandman during the
year that has passed, and for the rich rewards
that have followed our people in their shops and
their marts of trade and traffic. Let us give
thanks for peace and for social order and con
teutment within our borders, and for our ad.
varcefuent in all that adds to national greatness
And mindful of the affective dispensation with
which a portion OF our land has been visited, let

And as we return thanks for all the blessings
which we have received from the hands of our
Heavenly Father let us not forget that He has

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov chairman Huston,
of the Republican state committee yesterday
addressed a letter to Chairman Jewett, of
the Democrats, seeking to arrange jointly
with him to prevent double voting In the
course of his letter he says:
In order TO prevent the possibility of the cast
ing and counting of two or more ballots by one
voter the Republican state central committee of
Indiana submit the following proposition and ask
you TO agree to it: The inspector in each precinct
when he takes the ballot from the voter, shall
place a small rubber band around it before he
pits it in the box. By this means if two or more
b7ots are folded and voted together they can
not be separated in the box, and when the in
srector takes the ballot out to count it and opens
It, in case two or more ballots are folded within
It, they will all be in his hand and not in the box,
and therefore should not and will not be counted.
This plan he says has been carried out
successfully in other states, and as there is
no law against it in Indiana, he believes it
might be used to advantage Jewett sent
word that he would reply to the letter to-
day,
The appointment of United States inspec-
tors for the several counties of the state, all
of whom are Republicans, has led to the de-
termination upon the part of the Democrats
| to have deputy marshals also appointed and
petitions for this purpose will be presented
on Saturday of Monday. These, of course,
| will be Democrats.
