belliOn, it became a monument to all
lndianians who had ever served in any
war or in any military expedition in the
State or Territory of Indiana. This as
sumption is without any foundation
whatever. The Legislature could have
SO changed the purpose and character
of the monument if it had seen fit to do
SO. but it never did. On the contrary,
the appropriation for the completion of
the monument was made with the dis
tinct understanding that it was to be
completed according to the original idea
and plan. The change was not made
by the Legislature. but by the commits
siOners, and that without a shadow Of
right or authority. Their action is as
much an insult to the Legislature as it
is to the veterans OF the late war and
the people at large. 1t is simply a case
of official arrogance.

1t at the time, but if he will think about il
afterward. he will confess to himself that
he has been careless. Thousands of
such burning matches are thrown away

attended with the same losses in cast

The Journals Washington

The Journals Washington corre-
spondent summarizes the sentiment of
Republicans at the capital in regard TO
a suggestion which has recently been
made that the complimentary vote of
the Republican members of the next
Legislature for United States Senator
should be cast for President Harrison.
1t was hardly necessary to dignity the
suggestion by such notice. 1t orig
mated with some one entirely ignorant
of the Presidents wishes. and never
should have been seriously considered.
President Harrison is we'll assured of
the confidence and trust that Indiana
Republicans repose in him, and the rela-
tions between them do not call for any
artificial emphasis.

BETTER THAN INSURANCE.

The subject of insurance is being dis
cussed in the Journal. Those who are
called upon to pay the rates are con-
fident they are much too high, while
those who assume the risks are equally
confident their charges are as low os
they can make them. 1t does not seem
probable that either party will be able
to satisfy the other. The rates of in
surance are high and the losses by fire
are from time to time heavy. If by any
means the losses by fire can be reduced
the rate of premiums can be reduced.
useless controversy, it is better to seek
the cause of fire losses, and undertake
to lessen them. Last year the losses by
fires in which over 1000 was involved
aggregated over 500, co., OO in the
United States. Some years have elapsed
since the property which annually went
up in smoke and was left in ruins and
ashes has been less than $50, 000, 900.
This is a great deal of money, but it
does not measure all of the loss by an

years in this city factories have been
burned which have cost a much larger
amount than the buildings and stocks
destroyed, as the labor of hundreds of
men was displaced and lost. The cause
of nine-tenths the fires is sheer ianor-
ance OF carelessness. Could any large
manufacturer be sure of absolute care
fitness in the use of fire. he might
safely cut off the greater part of his in
surance. Defective construction is ac-
countab!e for q portion of the fires, but
by far the greater part come from care
l~essness and heedlessness in the use of
fire where there is infiammable ma

LOUISVILLE papers mention the recent
presence in that city of the Rev. Father
Augustus Tolton, who enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the first and only negro priest
ever sent from the Church of Rome to
this country. Eic was born a slave in Mis-
souri,. and his early life after the abolition
of slavery was passed in abject poverty.
Having succeeded by great efforts in OBJ
tanning a hiuh-school education. he took q
course IN Latin. Greek and Hebrew under
some Catholic priests who befriended him,
and was finally sent to the Propaganda Col
iege. Rome. where he was graduated in
time and received the honors of priesthood.
His career illustrates anew that there Is no
caste and no prejudice against color in the
Catholic Church..

A SPECIAL telegram reviewing the
state of trade of Havana, under date of
the 10th inst, says: sl
The abolition of the duties on American
-four and the changing of the consignment
of the Morgan line of steamers by which
all our merchants pay the same rates of
freight has given-such an impetus to the
business between New Orleans and Hsvana
as to call forth the need of three steamers
n week instead of one. and they come fully
loaded with flour and other merchandise
for this market. and In the season find re-
turn cargoes of sugar at fair rates Of
freight. At present they are carrying to-
bacco and cigars, pineapDIes and oranges.
This increase of trade is a direct result
of the "sham reciprocity" which the
Democrats are pledged to abolish. The
chances are they will not dare to take a
single step in that direction.

AS the time approaches for the formal
opening of the Columbian Worlds Fair
the event is attracting increased inter-
est among intelligent foreigners. 1t is
generally conceded by those who have
investigated the subject that the prep.
arations for this fair are more elabO-
rate. extensive and impressive than
have ever been made before, and that
the exhibition itself is likely to surpass
all previous undertakings in that line.
1t seems to be conceded, also, that the
fair will give a decided boom to the
prosperity of this country. On thissub-
ject SO conservative a paper as the Lon
don Financial News says:
There is q potential source of traffic ex-
pansion in connection with the next years
worlds fair which the American specu.
lator does not appear TO have fairly gripped
as yet. 1t is estimated that $3.50. COZ. coo Of
foreign money will be left in the United
States as the practical harvest OF the ex.
hibition; nor do we sec any thing extrava-
CANT in the figur,. 1t need not be pointed
out what this will mean to u people whose
trade is already higher than any of its pre-
vious high-water marks; whose granaries
and elevators are bursting with acculnu-
lated cereal wealth.; whose railroad equip.
ment. enormous though it is. is paralyzed
by the stupendous crop movements; whose
other industries are every where pnlsating
with an activity which we in the old coun-
try can only envy. For the railways. espe-
cially those east of Chicago. it means such
a flood of traffic as must swell their Golfers
to the bursting point; for the country gen
orally it means q rapid accumulation of
gain which must find investment in some
quarter or other.
This is n view of the subject which
the s%hrewdest Americans do not seem
to have quite grasped yet. There will
be q great deal of travel through Indi-
annapolis to and from the worlds fair,
and there is no reason why this city
may not expect to receive a fair proper
ton of benefit from the influx and dis
persion of capital which it will cauee.
