New York Symphony Orchestra will appear.
and for the first time in Indiana. This
orchestra, with its young leader, has even
surpassed the very high expectation or
the promoters of the great New York Music
Hall, who placed MIR. Damrosoh IN full
charge of that magnificent enterprise and
made it the permanent home of himself

THE action of the School Board in the
matter of public Librarian, resulting in
the removal of Mr.. Evans from that po-
%sition, is entirely indefensible. We
might use stronger language than this
and not overstep the limits of truth. 1t
is possible the members of the board
who engaged in the movement against
Mr.. Evans may succeed in convincing
themselves that they were actuated by
proper motives, but the Journal is sure
it voices public opinion when it says
they have acted in plain defiance of the
wishes of the best friends of the library
and against the best interests of the
library itself. Their action will GO far
to strengthen q growing opinion that
the library has outRrown the capacity of
school board management and ought to
be placed under the control of a board
selected with special reference to the
work.

The telegraph brings us some COM
ments of the English press on the action
of the United States in voluntarily
agreeing to pay the Italian indemnity.
The London Times expresses its plOus
satisfaction that Good Friday should
have been made memorable this year by
so conspicuous an act of international
justice. "The thing" it says, "is all the
more precious because Mr.. Blaine is not.
perhaps. quite the first flower of Chris
tian chivalry." There is something
more in this than ga certain condescen-
sion in foreigners" 1t reveals the in
evita bic superciliousness of Englishmen.
While pretending to congratulate the
world on the triumph of Christian
principles there is a covert intimatiOn
that the United States is less mindful of
international obligations than other
governments are, while the open sneer
at Mr.. Blaine is in the Times's
most insulting manner. We are
not aware that Mr.. Blaine has ever
posed as "the first flower of Christian
chivalry," but he comes quite as neal
filling the bill as the average British
statesman. In fact, we doubt if among
all the Prime Ministers and Foreign
Secretaries who nave assisted in extend
ing British empire and trade among
simple and savage peoples there could
be found one who would exactly answer
the description of "the first flower of
Christian chivalry."
The London Daily Graphic, taking a
somewhat different view of the case,
says the result establishes the RESPONSE
bility of the federal government of the
United States for the safety Of foreigners
within her gates, nc matter how
local authorities may choose to act.
This is a mistake. The a
ment of the Italian indemnity
is an act of grace on the part of the
United States and in express terms dis
claims the recognition of any interna-
tional liability. That is constitutional
and tenablo ground, and, no doubt, this
government will continue to maintain
that position, though it may, rs in the
Italian case. make an exception to the
rule by voluntarily paying an indemnity
in cases where international justice and
comfy seem to require it. A payment
which expressly disclaims responsibility
does not establish responsibility.

NEW ENGLAND can no longer be re-

sign-born persons had invaded the SIX
States whose area is G6.465 square miles,
and the number of such had increased
to 1.142,3 800 in 1890. while the native

LITERARY fame has its drawbacks,
one of which is thus referred to by Prof.
John Fiske in the preface to his latest
work. THE Discovery of America" He
savs:

with extreme hesitation and reluctance. to say
come when something ought TO be said, and
saying II. For many years letters-often i'll a
high degree interesting and pleasant to receive
have been coming TO me from persons with
whom I am not acquainted, and L have always
done my best TO answer them. IL isa long time
since such letters came to form the larger part
OF o SOluminous mass of correspondence. The
physical fact has assumed dimensions with
which IL Is no longer possible to cope. II I were
to answer ali the letters which arrive by every
mail. 1 should never be able to do another days
work. IL Is becoming impossible even to read
them all. and there is scarcely time for giving

readers will thus understand that if their queries
seem to be neglected, 1t Is by no means from any
want OF good will. but simply from the lament
able fact that the day contains only four and
twenty hours.

ing and instructive q writer as Professor
Fiske kept from literary work by having
to answer an avalanche of letters. many of
which no doubt spring from mere selfish
ness.

ONE John ONeill, of Whitehall, New
York, on the Vermont border, sold
liquor to purchasers in Vermont, where
there is a prohibitory law, sending it by
express. One day, when O'Neill was in
Vermont, he was seized by the authori-
ties, and the court before which he was
a~rraigned held him guilty for 307 sep
arate sales, which means a fine of S6,140
and costs amounting to S497. 96, and in
ease the fine was not paid within a GER
tain time, he was TO be confined in the
House of Correction, at hard labor, for
I9, 914 days, a matter of fifty-four years.
The case was taken to the Supreme
Court of the United States, which has
rendered q decision sustaining the Yer
mont court, Justices Field, Harlan and
Brewer dissenting. 1t is doubtless all
right-must be if the Supreme Court SO
decides-but hereafter a resident of one
State had better be careful not to carry
on in another State a business which is
illegal therein, if he intends to visit his
friends IN the State whose laws he has
broken while in another State.

THE London correspondent of the
New York Tribune, speaking of tho
proposition to pay salaries to members
of Parliament. says that the area of En-
glish constituencies choice is far larger
than in America, "since residence within
the election district is not here in Eng
landl required" The implication is that
in this country members of Congress
must reside within their several dis
tricts. This is custom, but not law.
There is nothing in he Constitution or
laws of any State requiring a Repre-
sentative in Congress to live within the
district he represents. Theoretically
and legally a citizen of any part of In
diana might represent any district in
Congress if the people chose to have him.

The Blind Asylum Fast Becoming Ty-

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 2y.-The asylum for
the blind is fast becoming a veritable
hot house for typhoid fever patients.
Over twenty of the students are down
with the fever, and the malady is
spreading. A pathetic feature is the
fact that most of the students are from
abroad and generally belong to families
in poor circumstances, who are not able
to respond il summoned to the bedside
of the sick. Every hospital in the city
contains typhoid patients, one of the
Catholic institutions having as many as
thirty-five. There are sixty-five at the
city hospital. Only three of the cases at
the blind asylum have proved fatal.
There is no official record Of the number
of new cases in the city Sunday, but as
there were 215 new cases Saturday it is
thought that fully 400 new cases will be
reported for the forty-eight hours begin
ming Saturday night. A committee was

health to go to Lowell and investigate

The Manner I'm Which Mr.. Rothschild
NOnid Settle the Silver
Question.
Each Country to Coin Certain Amounts
OF Silver Each Year for Five
Years,
Provided This Country Keeps Up Its
Present Rate of Coinage-Working
with Americans.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 20. In the inter-
national monetary conference MIR.
Alfred de Rothschild, of the English
delegation, proposed that the powers
engaged in the conference should form
an association having for its object col
lective purchase annually of 5000, 900
pounds sterling, equal to 125,000, 900
francs of silver, this to continue for a
maximum period of FIVE years under the
express condition that the government
OF the United States should continue its
monthly purchase of silver similar to
the purchases heretofore made by said
government equal TO 54,000,000 ounces
of silver.
Also that the collective purchases of
the powers should be suspended, should
silver reach the price of AZ pence an
ounce, the result desired being to con-
slider how to obtain that rate. The
Independence Beige says that the con-
ference will probably decide to refer the
foregoing, along with other schemes
that have been proposed to technical
commission w1ich would devise the in
dividual and proportionate purchase by
each association power, in the event of
MIR. Rothchild's sheme being adopted.
The submission of Mr.. Rothschild's
Plan was preceded by an explanatory
memorandum quoting his correspon-
dence with the governor Of the Bank
OF England, In this corresDondence The
governor says that he is always opposed,
on principle, to bi-metalism, and that
MIR. Rothschild's plan Is merely momen-
tary palliative of the crisis which the
fall in silver has provoked. The COVER
nor adds that nevertheless this express
sion Of opinion is purely personal.
All other British delegates except
Bertram Currie, are known to approve
the plan proposed by Rothschild, and il
is now confirmed that Mr.. Rothschild
and theAmerican delegates are working
together.
