presided during the contest. introduced

later when Mr.. and Mrs. Bass heard two

are not sufficiently aware OF the real
growth and greatness of their state. 1t re-
quires, in fact, but little study to ascer-
tain, and not much effort to show, that
Indiana according to area is the greatest
and most productive state in the Union,

world. These facts should be taught
everywhere among our people. l fully
believe in the doctrine of state pride, es-
pecially when there is a solid foundation
for it. Such publication as the one now
before me is well calculated to inspire the
young and old alike OF Indiana with just
and laudable sentiments of pride and

An example of England's treatment OF
inferior people is now being recorded in the
press, which is an odd accompaniment OF
the sewers comments m the British press
upon Americas high-handed course toward
Chill. Four British gunboats recently
assembled the Gambia river in Africa, dis
tance of $50 miles, 10 chastise a negro chief
who was accused of an hostile act, though
the proof of his guilt was not complete.
Three hundred armed British surrounded
the chiefs village and began shooting.
The chief, man of great daring aud fine
physique, boldly advanced, like a veritable
Umslopogass, forcing . way through
the enemy's ranks and galloping away
unframed amid shower of bullets,
His followers scattered and made shift to
escape as best they might. The pursuing
sailors kept up merciless firing upon the
almost defenseless blacks and killed fifteen
of them, mostly women. They then burned
the butt of the village and proudly retired,
singing "Rule Britannia. This story would
seem incredible did It not come from an ex-
cellent source. The Star, in publishing the
details, INDUCES in sarcasm and remarks
that this noble achievement of British arms
will teach Niger potentates not to crook
their shoots at the British iOn''

The Prussian Diet.

The parliamentary interest of Germany
is at present conferred in the Prussian diet,
where school bill of widest scope is being
discussed. The bill drafted by Herr Won
Goszler when in office has been Withdrawn
and his successor, Count Fedlitz, prepared
ameasuro, which is the one now before the
diet The measure aims at giving more
power to local authorities and to local
representatives so as to discentralize
state education, and the power of teach
ers is placed on footing more satisfactory
than has hitherto been practicable. But
the bill also accepts the principle at present
prevailing OF UNCONVENTIONAL education in
the sense that every school is denomina-
tional school, and it makes religious in
struction obligatory for each child in the
school, This is regarded by a strong
group of National Liberals as most OBJ
jectionable on the ground that it
will in practice benefit the Roman Catholic
communities to the disadvantage of the Re-
formed and Lutheran churches. A
minor kulturkampf will be fought
out over the bill, the passing
of which, if it should be
effected will be the great work of the pres
ent diet which has already passed an income
tax law and local government law of the
widest scope

LONDON, Jan. 30.-The near approach of
the assembling of parliament has already
brought many members of parliament TO
London, among them being a large force os
government supporters. At the Tory clubs,
the Irish local government bill seems to be
the principal topic of discussion. A
leading Tory member of parliament who
has canvasSed the matter pretty well
said this evening: "The irritation dis
played in some conservative quarters with
regard to the Irish local government bill, is
not mere passing sentiment, and it will
give the government good deal of trouble
when the house meets. There is consider
able Justification for it; of course every
body has been talking for some months past
as though it was settled, that the
Irish local government bill should
have precedence over other busi-
ness at the coming session, but by
government this is looked upon as false
rumor. No body of men in the house
Of course, are so deeply interested in the
question as the Ulster conservatives and
up to a short time ago the leading men
among them were of the opinion that no
attempt would be made to force the bill
forward In the present parliament. They
believed themselves, in fact, to be in
possession Of assurances on this point from
ministers who ought to have been well in
formed on the question above all others
This opinion is shared by the younger Con-
servatives, who are all in favor of shelving
the Irish question in the interests of a large
social programme which might win votes
at the general election. What was really
believed at the Conservative clubs
up to short time ago was
that the Irish local government
bill would be named III the queens speech
and be brought in, but that it would not be
taken up until after the English part of the
programme of the session had been dealt
with, and that in all probability before it
would get further than the second reading
in the present parliament. Even now
there are people who are sseptical
as to the intentions of the government in
the natter but it is little difficult to
adopt their view III face of the very en-
phatic declaration of the secretary for Ire
land, the Hon. William L. Jackson. The
fact is, that the government has once more
given way to Unionist pressure, and the
chances are that they have done this again
quite recently"
