OF the State were at stake, and the loan
must be made if possible. MI. Caven
then made a careful examination of legal
authorities, and reached the conclusion
that an act embodying the statement
that, in the opinion of the Legislature, a
and in terms authorizing a loan for the
express purpose of meeting it would be
conclusive of the fact. Then, in order
that there might be no mistake or ques-
ton on this point, he drew a bill, using
the very language of the Constitution in
the preamble, the title and the body of
the bill. Thus, by three repetitiOns, the
Legislature was committed to the
declaration that, in its opinion, a casual
deficit did exist, and that the loan was
authorized to meet it. The loan bill, as
well as the appropriation bill, failed to
pass, but if it had passed, there never
would have been any question as to its
cOnstitutionality. That would have been
settled in advance by the Legislature
itself. If the loan act passed by the last
Legislature had been drawn with the
same care, the State would not have suf-
fered the humiliation of being snubbed
by New York bankers, nor be looking
forward to two years of an empty treas
ury. The incident illustrates the differ
ence between Republican and Demo-
cratic methods, and between a chairman

the hopes of his friends and the public
may be realized by his temperance on
the stage. Those who are acquainted
with the action and progress of the dis
ease from which he suffers must, how
ever, doubt his ability to fulfill his
engagements. This season, as Mr.. Bar
rett said in his first alarm, is probably
his last of public life. The regret for
this will be deep, and it will not need
his death to bring out the expressions of
sorrow for his misfortune and for the
public loss. He is one of the few who
has no need to wait for death that the
world may praise him. He has had
homage all his life, genuine and spOn-
taneous, and therefore the greatest that
any man can have. He is a great actor,
the greatest of his age, and the world
has paid him tribute. 1t mourns with
him and for him now.

had. Nor was there ever a more thorough
patriot in the true sense of the word,
than this man whom Tories c~alumniously
called 1.-The great un-Englishman." Never
did he allow party feeling, much less did he
allow personal ambition, TO interfere with
his duty to his country. He left the Glad
stone Ministry when il Numbered into the
Egyptian war. but, strongly as he expressed
himself in private against its policy, he
never in public turned against it or tried to
embarrass it in the conduct of the war, but
simply remained silent. No man was ever
more free from petty motive or capable of
self-sacrific. or had q nobler standard of
public duty. His character had been
formed in tie advocacy of great causes and
it bore the full impress of that mold.
He, who at the crisis of American destiny
had stood forth as the foremost European
champion of the American Union, has been
taxed by some Americans with inconsist-
enc and apostasy for upholding the union
of his own country. Let his critics honest

THE superintendent of schools in st.
Joseph county is the first in the State to
comply with the new school-b book law by
ascertaining the number of books re-
quired by the schools in that county. A
tabulated statement, based ON reports
from all the teachers in the county,
shows the number of each kind of books
provided for in the law hat will be re-
quired, and the cost. From this it ap-
pears that the total enrolment of school
children in the county is 1854, and the
total cost of all the new books required
is S6,564, or an average of nearly SO cents
per pupil. The enrolment in the public
schools of the State, for the year ending
July 81, 1888, was 514,463. AT SO cents
per pupil, it would have cost $493, SS4.4S,
had the change been made last fall. The
outlay will be greater next fall, for the
reason that the enrolment will exceed
that of 1883.

MOVEMENT is on foot for the raising of
a memorial fund in honor of Philip Welch,
the brilliant humorist, and for the support
of his wife and young children. The story
of his last days is one of heroism unmatched
since the day of General Grant. For months
this young man worked under the shadow
of certain death from cancer, contributing
gay witticisms and ingenious jokes to Puck,
the New York Sun, Life and other publica-
tions. During his last weeks, when he
could no longer write, he dictated his
humorous fancies to his wife, and within
forty-eight hours of his death, in lucid in
tervals between spasms of suffering g, he
asked or to jot down words that embodied
jokes and would serve as suggestions. Dur
ing all this time, too, he preserved an out
ward calmness and brightness of spirit
marvellous to those who knew him. He was
a great favorite with his associates, and
they are ~endeavoring to make good the pur-
pose for which he labOred to the last, name
ly, that of providing for his family. They
make an appeal to the public which laughed
over his odd conceits, and to newspaper
men everywhere who appreciate the strug.
giles of a fellow-wOrker. Contributions may

THE DIFFERENCE.

The difference between careful meth
DDS of legislation and hasty, slipshod
methods is illustrated by the course pur-
sued relative to a State loan two years
ago, and that pursued by the late Legis-
lature. Two years ago the Republicans
had a majority in the House, and Hon.
John Caven, of this city, was chairman
of the ways and means committee. Mr..
Caven is a thorough lawyer and very
careful and accurate in whatever he
does. In these respects he differs nOta-
bly, from Mr.. Willard, late Democratic
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee. Two years ago Mr.. Caven found
the State confronted by much the same
situation that exists now, as the result
of the Democratic Shining policy.
The tax levy, for years, had been 10
cents on the hundred dollars, and that
on a reduced valuation, whereas in
former years the rate of taxation had
beennearly double on higher assessment.
Notwithstanding this reduction of the
tax-rate and insufficient revenue the
ordinay expenses of the State had been
increasing, and heavy extraordinary ex-
penses had been incurred. To meet
these demands a large sum was required
in addition to the ordinary revenues,
and this could only be raised by making
a loan.
Mr.. Caven first examined the Constitu-
ton to see what authority The Legisla-
ture had to authorize a loan. He was
Immediately confronted by the provision
which absolutely prohibits any debt from
being contracted on behalf of the State,
"except to meet casual deficits in the
revenue and in certain other cases.
The prohibition was plain. On the ques-
ton as to whether the financial situation
at that time constituted ga casual de-
felt" in the meaning, he was confronted
by the fact that it was the result OF
years of insufficient revenue and large
appropriations which ought to have been
provided for by an increased tax levy.
But il it was not a casual deficit,
it was q very real and press
ing one. The honor and credit

WASHINGTON, Ind, April 3.
The present trouble dates from last
December, but the events which led up
to it and the friction that preceded it
have continued for nearly two years. AS
the result IF an informal understanding
reached more than two years ago, the
United States, England and Germany
agreed to observe and maintain the in
dependence and autonomy of the Samoan
islands, under a native King. There
was to be no attempt to annex the islands
by any of the powers, o to control
their government, and the powers were
to have equal rights in respect of navi-
CATION, trade, etc. The German resi-
dents and traders in the islands outnum-
Der all others and this has been made the
pretext for German interference and
years past. The German authorities
took advantage of a war between Tama-
sese, the ruling King, and Mataafa, and
their respective adherents, to espouse the
cause of the former, first by furnish
ing arms and ammunition, and finally
by furnishing men and taking part in a
battle. Tamasese's Prime Minister was
a German, Brandeis by name, and the
policy of the Germans seemed to be,
under the p~retense of assisting Tama-
sese to maintain his authority, to estab-
lish a German prOtectOrate. The Amer
lean policy was to let the natives fight it
out among themselves. The Germans
continued their aggressive policy to the
extent, it is alleged, of violating the
property rights of American citizens and
insulting the flag, and the German con-
sui even went 20 far as to declare mar
tial law in the island, though that order
was subsequently rescinded by his homo
government. The entire policy of Ger
many for two years past has indicated a
determination to interfere in native af-
fairs, and to establish a sort of German
prOtectOrate, in direct violation of her
agreement to observe the independence
and autonomy of the islands, and of the
treaty rights of the United States, ced-
ing us the harbor of P~ago-Pago.

A Boom for Charles Emory Smith.

fHllautIpnla NOrn AMERICAN.
With profound earnestness and with only
the dissenting reservation that would
spring from regret at the temporary loss TO
journalism, the North American urges that
the President of the United States should
tender to Mr.. Charles Emory Smith. of the
Philadelphia Press. the post of minister to
Senate to a not more able and a not moro
honorably conspicuous gentleman. .
The President has called to his Cabinet
counsels a distinguished citizen of Pbila-
delphia. representing the business men of
the country, and one well endowed with all
the qualities which will add credit to the
administration. In Mr.. Charles Emory
Smith he will find an euqal and a different
intellectual force. Mr.. Smith has been a
student and a teacher in public affairs; he
is a loyal and earnest Republican, he is a
gentleman of cultivation and great charm
of manner and in the profession he adorns
he is a conspicuous and brilliant leader.
