The News, In an attempted justifica-
ton of the unauthorized and illegal ac-
ton of the soldiers monument commits
sioners. says:
The fragrance. the worth, the beauty, tho
high light" in the glory of this Indiana
monument Is that IL is built to commemor-
ate the val0r of Indians's sons In all the
wars they have been engaged. Not merely
should the Mexican war dates stand. but
there should be added as conspicuously the
dates OF Vincennes and Tippecanoe. These,
with the date of 1e6l, would signify the
four epOchs in which the sacrifice Of blood
and treasure was offered By the sons of In
diana.
An argument that proves too much
proves nothing. The capture of Vim
cennes occurred before the name of In
diana had ever been heard, and the bat
tie of Tippecanoe occurred several years
before the State was admitted to the
Union. The assumption that the monu-
ment is erected by Indiana to comment
crate these events shows the absurdity
of the claim that it was intended to
commemorate anything else but the
heroism of Indiana's sons in the war of
the rebellion. This view is confirmed
by all the records, by the legislative de-
bates, and by the law itself. Any other
represents breach of trust and a viola
ton of law.

SHOCKING CRIME RECALLED.
Execution of William Maier, Who Killed His
Wife and Was Captured at Her Grave.

WHEELING, w. Va, Nov. 49, William
Maier was hanged here. HIS crime was the
murder in cold blood of his young wife,
Marie, at 2 o'clock on the morning of April
5, 1892. by shooting her four times as she
lay In bed at their home in this city. At
the same time he wounded his little sister
in-law, Katie Yoho, who was lying at his
wife's side In the bed. Maier was q baker
by trade, and a musician, having at one
time been member of the opera orchestra
The couple had been married about six
months when the shooting occurred. and it
was known that they did not live happily
together, euarrelng frequently. On the
night of the murder Maier did not go to his
work at 10 O'Clock. as was his custom. but
instead remained at home, playing on his
corneJ until very late hour. He
cid not 90 to bed at all, though his
wife and her little sister retired at their
usual time. About midnight Msier began
to change his clothes, putting on bis best
suit, and when the wife asked bIm the
meaning of the strange proceedings be told

out and returned about o'clock In the
morning. He had been in the room but
few minutes when he approached the bed
and asked his wife to kiss him. She re-
fused TO kiss him. and he said: IF you
don't kiss me now IL will be your last
chance Mrs. -Maler begged him not to
nurt her, saying she would never speak
cross 10 him again; but her husband, crazed
with anger, reached for his revolver. and.
after deliberately lighting match to guide
his aim. he fired four shots at her in quick
succession. every ball taking effect in her
head and breast, one OF them also wound
ing the little girl. Mrs. Maier died almost
instantly, but Maier, not waiting TO see the
result of his awful work. fled from the
house, closely followed by Katie Yoho. W no
gave the alarm.
Though dillgent search was made for the
murderer he was not captured until the
18th of the month. The circumstances of
his capture were dramatic. He was seen
kneellng by his wlfe's grave in the ceme-
terry, and his actions were those OF man
frantic with grief. Officers were informed
of his presence in the cemetery, and he was
captured after q short chase. He was tried
in July and sentenced to hang In August.
After stay of execution and an argument
for new trial aud refusal for a further
hearing, he was re- sentenced TO de to-day.

So far from being desire based

OF Republican papers and business men

deadliest foe of prosperity-that the de-
mand of the New York Commercial
Bulletin that "the interval of suspense
shall be abridged in order to enter upon
the new conditions" is the sentiment of
business men of intelligence. If wool
is to be put on the free list, let the date
be stated as early as possible, so that
manufacturers and dealers may prepare
therefor. So long as the fact or the
date is in doubt there will be
limited purchases of materials and
limited production. If dealers are
assured at an early date that free
wool will become an element in future
prices, they can dispose of their stocks
of fabrics and clothing and be ready for
the change; but if they are left in IN
certainty they will buy from hand to
mouth and cripple production. If iron
ores are to be put upon the free list and
deties on pig-irOn reduced so that it can
be imported at profit it is infinitely
better that the fact and date of such
change be known at the earliest hour, to
the end that all engaged in the pig-iron
industry may prepare for the change
and those who use pig-iron as raw ma
terial may have no stock on hand when
1t comes. This is business, not politics;
but delay is neither politics nor bust
ness, but cOwardice.

called upon to publish double-leaded
editorial of column and half to deny
that Mr.. Cleveland ever made any

that Tammany and the Hill crowd did

the first occasion they were absolutely
refused any pledges. The second time,
the occasion of the Tammany dinner,
they were given to understand that if
Tammany insisted on conditions, Mr..
Cleveland would decline the nomina-

Is an extensive wool-growIng State, are

preceding year. The wheat crop was a
partial failure last year in many prov
inces of Russia, yet the empire is SO vast
that the deficit was made up without
drawing very largely on foreign sup
plies.
The lesson of the present situation for
American farmers is that they must
raise less wheat and more of other
things. 1t has taken Southern farmers
a long time to learn that their interest
lies in raising less cotton and more corn
and other products. The price of cot
ton at present is lower than it has been
for many years. and for the same reason
that the price of wheat is lower, viz, over
production. Southern farmers have at
last discovered that tile remedy lies in
their own hands, ssad they are taking
concerted measures to reduce the
acreage and production of cotton. The
farmers of the North will have to learn
the same lesson in a somewhat different
form. They must raise less wheat and
more of other things. There is not much
danger of their raising too much corn,
az that can be easily converted into pork
and beef and marketed at profit. But
wheat is exclusively human food. The
world can only take 80 much Of it,
and there are other great wheat-produc-
ing countries besides the United States.
1t does not speak well for the intelli-
gence or enterprise of American farmers
that they continue year after year to
add to the worlds over-stock of wheat.
selling their crop atruinous prices, when
they might be making money by raising
something else. If the agricultural So
cieties and organizations of the present
day are good for anything except poll
tics they ought to be able to convince
intelligent farmers that they are raising
too much wheat, and that their true in
terests lie in more diversified crops.
There are many crops that pay better
than. wheat, and it ought not to be hard
for Intelligent farmers to find out what
they are.

IT is characteristic of American meth
DDS that the recent violent cholera scare
has been followed by q period of indif-
ference and apathy on the subject.
Scarcely two months ago most of the
cities and large towns in the North were
quarantining against New York and one
another. Boards of health were in
state of ferment, and municipal author
tiles were inaugurating all sorts of
hygienic reforms. Now, nothing what
ever is being done. The subsistence of
cholera in New York harbor. due to cool
weather, has been followed by a COM
plete suspension of all efforts to avert
the disease or to fight it when it comes.
This is worse than the folly of locking
the stable-door after the horse is stolen;
it is leaving the door open and expecting
the thief not to enter.
Meanwhile cable dispatches state that
fresh cases of cholera have appeared
in France. Holland and Austria. and that
the disease is increasing at st. Peters
burg. There is hardly a doubt that it
will maintain a foothold in Europe
during the winter and break out again
next spring. 1t is but step from Eu-
rope to our shores, and it will be very
unwise to depend on another spasm of
quarantining TO keep cholera out next
summer. Our sanitary and municipal

THE first day of the annual meeting

being held in this city, was largely de-
voted to a discussion of the State school
book law. the decided preponderance of
opinion being that the law is a failure.
The main objection to the law was that
it was framed primarily to supply cheap
books without reference to their merit,
and that this idea of cheapness had been
carried to such an extent as materially
to interfere with the efficiency of schools.
Several speakers opposed the law be-
cause it aimed at establishing State uni

they regarded as unwise and, from an
educational point of view, vicious. The

THEY MUST KEEP PATH WITH THE PEOPLE.

Eastern Democrats who are supposed
to stand near Mr.. Cleveland, and to have
a pretty correct understanding of his
views and intentions. say he will not
call an extra session of Congress next
spring, and that the furthest he will go
will be to appoint tariff commission to
investigate the question during the sum-
mer, and submit report for the consid-
Grafton of Congress at the regular ses-
sion in December, 1893. If this proves
true, Mr.. Cleveland will be open to the
charge of cowardice and obtaining Office
under false pretenses.
In order to appreciate the cowardice
of this line of action, it il necessary to
remember that the Chicago convention
by an overwhelming majority struck
out of the platform a resolution which
favored modified form of protection,
and substituted one declaring that all
protection was unconstitutional, and
pledging the party, if successful, to the
unconditional repeal of the Mckinley
law. The people have taken them at
their word; now let them keep faith with
the people.
Suppose, instead of the resolution de-
nouncing protection and pledging the
party to the unconditional repeal of
the Mckinley law, the Democrats at
Chicago had adopted the following: isi
We doubt the wisdom and expedenoy of
the MCKINLEY tariff law, and We pledge
ourselves If successful, to appoint n tariff
commission with view to investigating
the subject and reporting in what respects
the law can be amended and the present
duties on foreign imports reduced. so as
not to interfere with established indus
tries and vested interests.
What kind of a campaign could the
Democrats have made on that kind of a
platform7 They would have been hooted
out Of court and defeated by an over
whelming majority. They were sue
cessful largely, il not mainly, because
they made the workingmen and farmers
believe they were oppressed by the tar
iff, and because the party pledged itself
to the unconditional repeal of the Nc
Kinley law. Now they are in, they pro-
pose to fall back on milk and- W alter
policy.
All the Journal wants is fair play. 1t
insists that the Democratic party shall
deal fairly with the people, andinaugu-
rate as soon as possible practical APP
plication and test of the principles on
which it has acquired control of the gov
eminent. If those principles are right
the sooner we know it the better. so that
all may adopt them; if they are wrong
the sooner we know 1T the better, SO we
may adopt something else. And wheth-
er they are right or wrong, the sooner
the party in power defines its position
and policy the better for the business
interests of the country. 1t was voted
into power with the understanding that
it should reverse the Republican policy
as soon as possible. Let it redeem its
pledges or stand before the country
branded as party of political towards
and campaign liars.
