THE refusal of the House of Repre-
sentatives to authorize the Secretary of
the Navy to charter q vessel to carry
contributions to the famine sufferers in
Russia places Congress in rather hu-
initiating position. The recent letter of
the Secretary of the Navy and the ia
yorable action of the Senate had led to
the belief that there would be no oppo-
sition to the measure. but the action of
the House puts Quietus upon it SO far
as congressional action is concerned.
For the reputation of the country it
would have been better if the question
of government transportation had never
been raised in Congress than to have
had it voted down. Had the question

to that construction. 1t is unfortunate,
to say the least, that the surviving rep
resentatives of the Lost Cause should
have seized this opportunity to show
their hostility to Russia for preventing
the recognition of the Confederacy by
England. They might at least have
done this in way that would not have

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE apprehenslons
that the friends of Secretary Blame have
over his sudden attack have been some
what allayed tonight by the information
given to those who called at his residence
that the Secretary has been resting quietly
all day and is very much improved this
evening. Mrs. Blaine receives nearly ali
callers and answers cheerfully questions
concerning her husbands illness. From
her account of the Secretary's illness it is
only temporary in Its character. and her
conversation leads her hearers to believe
that he will be up aud about within
q day or two. The distin guished pa
tient had little medical attendance to-day.
His physician. DR.. Hyatt, paid o visit and
concluded that the Secretary needed rest
more than medicine. From reliable sources
it is learned that the alleged serious nature
of the attack seems to be more imaginary
than real Mr.. Blaine's long illness during
last spring and summer has made him dread
q recurrence Of confinement. and this fear
has unnerved him to such an extent that
he looks on his present indisposltion in q
much more alarming light than his real
condition warrants The aim of his ply
sician and his family at present is to dis
abuse his mind OF the thought that his ill
ness will result seriously, and beneficial
effects are looked for from the rest which
he has had to-day.
Secretary Foster said co-day that he in

breakfast to-day, after which he sat ND

TIE OHIO SENATORSHIP.

THE Legislature of Ohio has done the
wise and proper thing. The reelection of
Senator Sherman was confidently antici-
pated by the country, and IL was demanded
by the best interests of the people and the
Republican party OF Ohio.-Detroit Trib-

AT one time during the canvass Sherman's
defeat seemed probable. Happily Ohio has
saved herself from this dlscredit and has

have been unanimous.-St. Louis Globe

SENATOR SHERMAN was nominated by
the Republican caucus at Columbus, last
night, by handsome majority. The coun-
try will be gratifed by this news. Mr..

services cannot be spared. - Louisville

AS claimant" For aker is unequaled
In the contest with Mr.. Sherman he was at
a disadvantage at everv point. Consider
ing these disadvantages his vote is sur
prisingly large; considering the promises
made by the Commercial Gazette il is ex-
ceedingly small.-Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal.

his success. We did not help to bring this

THE fine thing about the result is that IL
demonstrates in one instance ct least that

the country, and the rejoicing in Sher-
mans reelection will be widespread.

WHILE the people of Indiana pay for

people are constantly in need of.

The Sentinel publishes an interview
with Chairman Jewett, of the Demo
cratic State central committee, in which,
replying to question as to the party's
prospects in the next election. he says:
Oh. we can win and carry the State for
the Democracy If we begin soon enough
and work hard enough. Mark me. say
We can win. Whether we shall OF not de-
ponds on ourselves But we ought to look
the matter squarcly in the face. There is
nothing to be gained by deceiving our
selves. Indiana is close and doubtful
State, and we have strong and un-
scrupulous enemy TO contend with. OF
course, we carried the State by nearly
twenty thousand plurality at the last cleo
tion, but you must not lose sight of the
fact that vast number of men who are
entitled to vote did not 90 to the polls in
1890. As compared with 1888 we lost over
$1,000 votes and the Republicans nearly
$4,000. Deductlng the 1900 which the la
Dor and Prohibition parties gained you
will see that over SO. 600 men did not vote in
1890. How they will feel next November
one can't say. but they will vote and de-
termine the election In Indiana.
Republicans should make a note of
this. 1t is equivalent to an admission
that Indiana is no more naturally Dem
ocratic than it is naturally Republican,
and that the party which does the most
effective "hustling" will wln. Mr.. jew
EFT admits, what the figures plainly show,
that the Democratic victory" last year
was due to Republican apathy and alb
senteeism, aided by accidental circum-
stances which worked in favor of the
Democracy. His figures show that there
are Republicans enough in Indiana to
carry the State whenever they all turn
ont and vote.

= GOVERNOR FORAKER says that when
he entered on the senatorial contest he
did not know "that we had to fight not
only those Republicans of Ohio who
we're against US, but, because it was
grand old John Sherman on the other
side, it was the whole United States
against u.s." That was about the size
of it. The mistake was in tackling

THE Anti-tenemont-ho League of
Boston, led by such men as ex-Govern-
ors Long and Bracket, have agreed
upon a memorial to Congress asking
that body to investigate the sweating"
system in the clothing trade, which has
recently been introduced in that city.
In London it has extended to every
manufacture which can be done by hand
in tenement-houses. but it has only
reached the cheaper clothing-making in
Boston. The work is mainly done by
recent immigrants, who live in wretched
tenements in the deepest degradation.

THE originators of the movement to
send cargo of breadstuffs to the famine
sufferers in Russia started with the be-
lief that they could raise six million
pounds of -four, but they are likely to
do more. The millers in different States
are enlisted, and there is a generous
rivalry to make the contributions as
large as possible. Up to the 9th inst. re-
ports had been received from eighteen
States. Indiana stands sixth on the list,
with contribution of 77.S10 pounds.

1T is not worth while to expend much
sentiment over the alleged friendship
of Russia for the United States. The
friendship is nothing more than jealousy
of British influence and power. The
Gear of Russia and everybody connected
with the Russian government hate re-
publican ideas and principles and would
like TO see them wiped off the face of the
earth. If Russia interposed to prevent
the recognition of the Confederacy by
England it was not love for this govern
ment but jealousy of England that
prompted her. The idea that there il
any natural affinity or sympathy be-
tween the government of Russia and
that of the United States is absurd.
