THE CITY HAS RIGHTS.

Indianapolis has already reaped a
benefit of no small Importance from the
chartering of the new street-railroad
company in the disposition shown by
the city government to contest the
claim of the Citizens company to do as
it pleases. 1t is high time that the
question were settled whether the city
has any rights which the Citizens com
pany is bound to respect. For a good
many years past the company has been
proceeding on the negative view of this
proposition. With franchise of great
value, obtained for nothing and fortified
by supplementary ordinances, it has
been practically defyine the city au-
thorities and asking the people what
they proposed to do about it. True. il
has made some extensions and improve
ments in the service, but nothing like
what was demanded nor what the value

ONLY ONE OF THE MANY.

Much has appeared in the papers first
and last about the extraordinary charges
of the coroner of this county. The late
deputy or clerk of the coroner. who has
had quarrel with his chief and is no
longer drawing an official stipend, has
rushed into the newspapers to expose
the led conduct of tho man whom the
Democratic leaders put into the office.
All that IS said Is probably true. No
case for which the pretext of an inquest
can be made is allowed to escape. The
coroner will secure during his two years
a sum Of money five or six times as
great as he could get in any other en-
ployment, and five or six times as much
as the service he performs is worth.
and will retire at the end of two years
to make room for another man who will
be selected by the Democratic county
bosses because he is practically the
highest bidder for the position.
The noise which is being made re-
!. Rarding the practices of the coroner
would lead one to infer that he is the
only offender, when, as a matter of fact.
he is but one of as many as havea chance
at the county treasury. The misfortune
of the coroner is that his monthly ac-
counts are published and the cases upon
which he draws fees are known from
day to day as part of the current news.
The others have their avenues to the
treasury, or are enabled to get money
which should go to the public, by other
means. The county treasurer loans
money to the city which the people of
the city have paid into the county treas
ury; by salary and fees the auditor
draws an amount of money equal to the
salary OF three of Mr.. Cleveland's Cab
met; the man holding the Office of
county attorney prior to the pres
ent incumbent was paid year after
year twice as much as he contracted to
do the work for; the assessor in Center
township, whose salary was increased
by the Legislature, drew many hundred
dollars in excess of the amount fixed by
law for various services which properly
belonged to his Office. These and other
facts were presented from the official
reports of the county last October be-
fore the election. but called forth no ex-
planation or defense.
Now that a crowd of county officers
have entered into a conspiracy to have
the present imperfect fee and salary law
set aside, to the end that there shall be
no check upon the taxing Of exorbitant
fees, it is fit season to assail the whole
system of fees and to establish salaries
instead. Not only is the present system
an outrage upon taxpayers, causing
county management to cost very much
more than it should, but it is a source of
decentralization.

Mr.. CLEVELAND is showing his accus-
toned disregard for the convenience of
other people on this worlds fair tour.
His own celebrated personal comfort is,
as usual. his first and only considera-
tion. The naval parade in New York
was delayed by his direction for three
hours because he objected to going out
in the rain. Tens of thousands of peo-
pie, meanwhile, not knowing of the
postponement, gathered at Riverside
and other points of view at the ap-
pointed hour and remained standing in
utter discomfort until the time that his
High AIightiness scondescended to emerge
from his retreat and take his place upon
the Dolphin. Itwas an outrage upon the
public which q foreign potentate would
hardly have ventured. Next day at the
land parade he unceremoniously left the
Duke de Veragua and party and the
foreign admirals on the reviewing stand
and rushed off 10 take the train to Chi
cago, which was special train that had
already waited for him and could have
waited n few minutes longer. In Chi
cag0 he appears to have followed the
same unmannerly and illbred course.
The Duke de Yeragua gave himself en-
tirely into the hands of his hosts and
showed a courteous disposition TO re-
spond to every effort made for enter
tainment. 1t was expected that the
President and his Cabinet officers would
do the same. but they remained in all
the seclusion possible, and as soon as
possible slipped away to visit the fair,
nngraciously refusing to take part in
the Liberty Bell ceremonies. Punctu-
atty and politeness are virtues that
even President cannot well afford to
dispense with, and Mr.. Cleveland's lacl,

INpETERMINATB SENTENCES.

The warden of the Wisconsin State
Prison, in his annual report, speaks of
the indeterminate-senten law as un-
satisfactory. This law authorizes judges,
in their discretion, to sentence prisoners
for an indefinite time within the limits
of the minimum and maximum penalties
provided for the crimes of which they
are convicted, and gives to board of
control the power to release convict at
any time after the expiration of the
minimum limit if the board is convinced
that the convict has reformed. The law
though it has not been repealed, judges
have ceased to impose indeterminate
sentences. The law provides that con-
victs released under it shall report in
person or by letter to the prison author
tiles at least once in three months, but,
as matter of fact. comparatively few
of them have done so. The Milwaukee
Sentinel says:
It was inevitable that the law should
prove unsatisfactory. A proper system OF
indetermInate sen tences has been insti-
tuted in New York alone, In the case Of
those sent to the Elmira reformatory. A
proper system involves a good deal more
than release at the instance of u State
board having multifarious duties and nn-
able to give q great deal of time to the
study of the convicts. It involves, also,
methods for the reform of the convicts-
severe school training and the learning of
useful trades. Good behavior in the Or
binary prison 10 characteristic of the most
confirmed criminals. The most expert
cnced prison officials agree that the best
conduct. as q rule, 10 that of criminals who
have served more than one term. Good be-
havior in prison is by no means an indica-
ton that q convict 10 disposed to reform.
Also. most prison officials are not hopeful
of the reform of any large proportion of
criminals under the ordinary conditions of
prison life.
The failure of the Wisconsin law seems
to have been due partly to the fact that
it was imperfectly framed. and in part
to its defective administration. The
law itself is defective in not embracing
all the features.of true indeterminate-
sentence system, and it seems to have
been construed by the board of control
as means of getting convicts out of
prison as soon as possible after the mini
mum sentence has expired. The real
object of an indeterminate sentence is
to keep the convict in prison to the last
moment. or even for life, if there is rea-
son TO believe that he is a dangerous
man to be at large. The indeterminate-
sentence system has worked well in
New York, but the law in that State is
carefully guarded and intelligently ad-
ministered. Properly administered it
should open the way for Dung criminals
and first-time convicts to reform. if they
give evidence of desire to do so, and
should hang as a sword over the heads
of confirmed criminals.
