with ciubs, reducing him to helpless

The doctor was able TO cry for aid. and
some persons passing came TO his sssis-

got awsy. but the authorities are max

WON BY THE NEWSPAPER.
The Indiana Supreme Court Holds Tha
Newspapers Have Rights.

ISprANAroLIs, April %. - The su-
preme court today handed down q
lengthy opinion in the Case of George
NJ. Allen and w. o. Fishback, publisher
and editor respectively Of tne Terre
Hautc Express. The court held that
there might be cases in which the edi-
tors of newspapers could be punished
for contempt for criticising the judi
ciary, but the case under consideration
did not corpe under that clause. In
his opinion, Judge Olds Gays, it ought
10 be underst0od that the public press
has rights. with which courts have no
power TO interfere. In conclusion the
court says: "No attempt was made to
make the charge against the appellant
except by the aid by inuendoes. To
constitute complaint there must be
an act coupled with direct disrespect
for the court.

PAUPER WEATHER PREDICTIONS.

The met geological bureau of the East
Indian Government is asserted to be the
most efficient institution of its kind in the
world. 1t is asserted to have made a
striking success of forecasting the move
ments of wind and water, and has thus
become one of the greatest value to the
people of the Oriental Empire.
Comparisons are odious We would not
enlarge on this painful subject further
than to point out the steps which are indi-
Gated when Uncle Jerry Rusk's Repub-
lican weather bureau runs up against such
an uncomfortable fact as this from an
effete and subjugated realm. 1t seems in
evitable that either the contract labor law
must be repealed to permit the importation
of some of the Hindoo forecasters, or else
the Secretary OF Agriculture should be
empowered to send his political appointees
on voyage to India to learn the art of
foretelling what trough of low barometric
pressure will do in the line of rain or hot
weather.
Certainly if the pauper weather fore
casters of India can give us genuine and
reliable article in the line of predictions,
it is to be feared that the affection of the
nation for the Republican style of weather
and weather prophecies will not outlast
next November.

CONVENTION NEWS.

The Dispatch Will, as Usual, Have the
Pest and Brightest Reports.
THE DISPATCH, which was the first upon the
field of Presidential action at Minneapolis,
will continue to furnish the most elaborate,
diversified and non-partisan reports of the
work and gossip prior to and during the Re-
publican National Convention.
Besides assigning the best reporters on
our staff to look after the local end of the
proceedings, THE DISPATCH has secured Mr.
GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND ("Gath') to
sketch the features of each days doings un-
til the close of the convention. In
addition, THE DISPATCH will be served
by special staff composed of the
best writers on the leading jour
nails Of the country. By this cooperative
arrangement THE DISPATCH will secure all
the inside and outside Information. which
will be carried quickly over its leased wires
and given to the public at the earliest hour
every morning.
THE DISPATCH also has at its command the
elaborate reports of the Associated Press,
which has made extensive preparations for
covering the routine work of the great gath
ering.
Patrons of The DISPATCH will get every
thing from all sides and in good shape.

MILLER'S CHANGE OF POSITION,

II is noticeable that Mr.. Warner Miller
alters his declarations on the relation of
the Nicaragua Canal Company to that
Government subsidy in accordance with
his locality. In an interview on the sub
ject published in THE DISPATCH a week
ago, Mr.. Miller authorized the declaration
that his company asks no aid whatever
from the Government In his speech be-
fore the Nicaragua Canal Convention at
st. Louis on Thursday he stated that the
company ''is not unwilling that it should
receive Government aid"
This absence of unwillingness to have
the Government furnish the credit for the
project is not unusual with projects of
this sort, having been apparent to large
extent in the case of the subsidized rail-
roads, until the people developed de-
cided unwillingness to have 1t go any
further. The Nicaragua Canal Company s
liberality in this respect is only remarka-
BILE in the fact that it starts out ON larger
scale than any previous project, and pos
sesses the breadth of permitting the Gov
ernment to indorse bonds to an amount 80
per cent greater than the engineers esti-
mates of the cost of the work
While Mr.. Miller's assurance does away
with the fear that the effort to pass the
subsidy bill might be blighted by a refusal
from the company, we search the reports
of Mr. Miller's speech in vain for any ex-
PLANTATION of what is to be done with the
thirty or thirty-fve millions of the loan in
excess of the estimated cost.

nolicv of legislation

ent policy of legislation will
maintain wages. If the iron
manufacturers wished to strike every
tariff advocate dumb and paralyze the
entire campaign for protection, they could
not do so more effectually than by con-
fronting them during the campaign with
the spectacle of an industry standing idle
through tbs forcible attempt to reduce
wages 20 per cent in protected industry.
1t is quite possble-and the fact shou Id
be the subject of due consideration on
both sides-that the lower scales prevail
ing in other districts and the inroads of
steel upon wrought iron may make 1t
advisable in the interest Of both capital
and labor to consent 20 conservative re-
duction in some parts of the scale. But it
is an imperative feature of the situation
that any such step shall be made harmoni-
ously and as the result of mutual convic-
ton and concession. Neither side should
undertake to force the other to its views,
and neither side should refuse to give a
fair hearing to the arguments and needs
of the other
The fact is that neither the manufac-
turers, nor the ironworkers nor Pittsburg
at large can afford to have general strike
this year. The necessity of avoiding such
a conflict is so patent that we have full
faith in practical agreement as to wages
a month hence.

A MEXICAN EXPOSITION,
1t VIII Be Perma a1ent1y Established in

1t VIII Be Perma 1entIy Established in
New York City.
New York SUM-
1t is a most excellent idea which has been
taken up in Mexico and in the carrying out
Of which the Mexican Government has
promised its assistance, the idea of estab-
fishing in New York City permanent
Mexican Exposition, through which the
natural and rrtihcial productions of our
sister Republic shall be brought within the
knowledge of the people of the United
States.
1t is big idea pleasing to contemplate.
Its execution, would certainly be advan-
ta-eous to both countries. 1t has taken the
fancy of President Diaz, and we have not n
doubt that it will touch the mind of the peo-
years vii! have population as great as that
OF the Mexican Republic.
Mexico, that rich and beautiful country,
has natural products that would be useful to
u.s. about which we know very little; she
manufactures not few articles that are
never seen here, though they would add TO
the variety of things in our markets:
she has skilful artisans whose fabrications
we are unfamiliar with: she has even q
school of art. which has recently been
brought to the notice of the world by Il
competent critic; she can give us knowledge
that we ought to possess. and we trust she
will not take offence when We say that she
might perhaps acquire some knowledge here
that would not be disadvantageous to her.
We are, therefore. well pleased with the
prospects of the establishment of a perma-
nent Mexican Exposition in this city Of New
York. We should like to see it openent next
year by the President of the Mexican Re
public and the Democratic President of the
United States.
We are also pleased to know that similar
undertakings have been projected by enter
prising parties in other Spanish American
Republics, even in Argentina, Peru and
Colombia. We give encouragement to every
one of them.

A FoREGoNE CONCLUSION.

The clash of contending political inter-
estS over the Presidential nomination
reached a pronounced stage at Mime
| apolis yesterday. Its echoes will continue
| to resound until the convention gets down
| to the work of ballot:ng 1t is not haZ-
ardous to predict that the first ballot will
bring complete and decided quietus to
the conflict
The feature of the situation yesterday
was reported to be the generalship and
stubbornness of the fight in favor of Har-
riSon. With the army of Office-hOlders
disclosed by our special kilograms, it is
not strange that there should be trained
force of wire -pullers working persistently
against the popular tide in order to save
their chief and their bread-and-butter.
Nevertheless, beside the antecedent i'm
probability of such influences being able
to defeat an almost unanimous popular de-
mand like that for Blaine, there are un-
mistakable evidences that the Harrison
contingencies fighting for cause already
lost, and know it to be so.
One of the most significant of these is
the talk yesterday of a compromise candi-
uduC. II tiillu Hill luiSue DC al az COduiO
compromise to the politicians, and under
the circumstances the President would
doubtless be glad to see almost anyone
nominated except Blaine But the wishes
of politicians are of little weight in this
matter. 1t is the popular demand for the
leadership of Mr. Blaine that alone gave
force to the movement of the politicians
for his nomination. The refusal to meet
that demand would be little betterif made
by the nomination of one man than by
another.
Viewed in the light of the wishes of the
Republican masses, it is plain that the
availability of other men sink into inSig-
nifcance beside the immense superiority
of Blaine. If he could not be secured as
candidate Sherman or Mckinley might be
rated as little better than Harrison; De-
pew or Alger as somewhat weaker. But
the question being only whether the de-
sire of the people for Blaine's candidacy
shall be satisfied or not, the talk of a COM
promise candidate is so futile as to be
plainly device of the Harrison forces to
let themselves down easily.
No such political finesse can succeed in
checking the tide which is sweeping for
ward to the nomination of the ex-Secre
tary of State. The nomination of Blaine
probably on the first ballots clearly
shown, both by the general features of the
situation and the estimates of reliable and
impartial figures.
