authority and be paid out OF the public
moneys. They should owe no allegiance to
any privote person In the exercise Of their
duties. They should be servants OF the
people and not OF anybody else. 80 far as
their official functions are concerned.
II may be said that in such cases as are
contemplated by this measure special po-
lice protection for tho time being Is neces-
sary at suburban pleasure grounds. and
that tho expense of afrording such protec-
ton should not fail upon tho people Mt
large. II this be true, there is better
way Of providing the needed officers than
Che method proposed by Mr.. HAhEY's bill.
The local police authorities could be cmpow-
cred to appoint special officers for limited
period and assign them to duty in the
places where their services we're desired.
paying such officers ut tho same rate as
permanent policemen. out .. the public
funds. and being reimbursed by the corpo-
rations or associations upon whose grounds
they were assigned to duty.
In this way the special officers would be
really public servants, as they should be.
free from any influence or control by tho
private persons who happened to be par
ticulnrly benefited by their appointment.
Under Mr.. HALEY's bill. however, the spe-
cial policemen appointed. paid. and subject
to removal by private corporation. would
be apt to serve that body rather than the
public when any conflict OF duty arose.
The true rule is that public duties should
be performed by public servants. and not
assigned to private employees who may
abuse their powers. inasmuch rs they do
not act under an adequate sense OF official
rocpppeihility

In no other way Is an explanation to be found of
the serios of remarkable favors which Senator vooR
HE'S OF Indiana has received. Mr. VOORHEES, is of
the most political and personal oppone
OF the President within his own party. VOORHEES,
represents everything in the matter or civil service
reform policy and finance to which CLEvrLAND wishes
to have the public believe he is opposed. Yet Mr.
VOORHEES, has received consideration At the hands
of the President already than any other Dom in
ont OF Congress- and probably than he received
during tho former Administration Of Mr.. CLgvELANp.
Notorious machine politicians and personal oppO
nents of CLEVELAND, aggressive and offensive antag
onsts OF every principle and policy of civil service
reform, have been appointed TO important Offices ut
the request of Mr. VOORHEES, under circumstances
which make impossible to think that the President
could have been in ignorance OF tho character of tho
persons whom lie nominated. And when their charac.
ter fully made known TO him. he took no steps to
Withdraw the nominations or to reconsider tho az.
pointments."
We take 1t that magnanimty, quality
not regarded as crime outside of Hart
ford. is not m odous thing; and we also
take it that Mr. CLEvELAND's s appointments
are not founded upon magnanimity, but
upon proper conception of party policy.
He appoints people not because they were
his friends or his enemies. but because he
thinks their appointment will conduce to
the strength Of the Democratic party. What
safer guide could there be to follow, in that
respect. than tho Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER
VOORHEES, OF Indiana, spokesman from
Spois. but also a Democrat from Democ-
racy? Mr.. VOORHEES, has not always liked
Mr.. CLEVELAND. but the Democrats OF In
diana 5ave long liked Mr.. VooRHEEs. We
take 1t that In cxiling the Hon. ISAAC PUsEY
GRAY and In pleasing the Hon. DANIEL
WEBSTER VOORHEES,. Mr. CLEVELAND is
pursuing his task OF strengthening tho
Democratic party: nor hnvo We seen any
opposition to his Indiana appointments
save among the five or six Indiana Mug
wumps who voted for Mr. CLEVELAND in
1884. for Mr.. HARRISON in 1888. for Mr..
CLEVELAND in 1892. and who will vote for
the Republican candidate In 1896.
The Kissing of Mugwump geese like LU-
Gus WANHoPE SWIFT Of Hoosierlaud
against tho Indiana appointments approved
or suggested by Senator VOORHEES, is not
to be regarded: and honest Republican
spoilsmen like Gen. HAwLEY OF Hartford
ought not to veneer themselves with hum

ROADS IN INDIANA.
Extracts from Gov. Chaso'o Message Z
the Legislnturo,

Extracts from Gov. Chass's Message "a
the Legislaturs.
Gov. Chase, of Indiana, in his recent
message to the legislature of that state,
strikes the keynote of the roads ques.
ton in tho following language:
1T is gratifying to notice the interest
now being taken in the discussion as ia
whether Indiana shall become q lead.
ing state in the bettermcnt of public
roads The press almost unanimously
is advocating a better law. The late
convention held in this city for the pur.
pose of making recommendations to the
legislature was one of the most intel
ligent ever convened here. No law con-
templated by this hon cradle body can
compare with one that shall give tho
farmer an open market all the year
round SO far as material prosperity ID
concerned.
LET there be no mistake as to the
makeup of the committee who shall
have SO much responsibility placed
upon it as this one, as he who supports
legislation with this object in view can
subscrve the best interests Of his con.
stituents in no other way SO thorough
ly. doubt If further taxation is nee.
essary for the redemption of our high.
ways The revenue now used is enor-
nous when we consider the results oh
tanned The trouble is our system Is
wrong. We need more brains and less
muscle in the cause. and until this is
brought about we shall remain in the
slough OF dependency. There is no
comparison between our roads and
those Of foreign countries, nor Of
those in our many sister states. We
are woefully behind them in all this
matter. The railroads that cross our
state like a network have greatly en-
HANGED the value of property, but with
first-class public highways the increase
in our material wealth will be difficult
to estimate. The farmer will be the
greatest beneficiary in this matter
and yet good roads concern di
rectly every citizen. For several
months in each year the farmer is un.
able to do anything because of impass-
able roads. His teams are idle, and
the profits of the months he has toiled
are used up in doing nothing. This
condition Of business economy must be
changed. and no matter will require
your thoughtful attention more than
legislation for the bctterment of our
highways"
The one phrase in the governors
message that has q world of meaning is
''We need more brains and less mus.

DAIRYiNG FOR PROFIT.


How to Get ~ the Real Source OF Income
:. In the lodustry.
Dairying for glory has never boen a
popular pastime, and it is not likely to
be engaged in to any great extent
Hope of profit is the alluring influence
in this, as in any other productive in
dustry. The objective point of every
dairyman should be to produce the
most possible Of the best possible arti-
Gle, at the least practicable cost to be
sold at the highest obtsinable prices.
There is no poetry in this view of the
business, but there is a vast deal of
common sense in it. This being the
end in view. that dsiryman who pays
no attention to the productive capacity
of his stock, whose cows are bought
with an eye to what they cost and with
no reference to what they can do, who
ignores the whole subject of what and
how much he markets. who shuts his
eyes to all sorts of information re.
specting his business-whose manage.
ment, in short, is slipshod and in every
essential uncertain-fails to get ut the
real source of profit in his industry.
Every point needs to be carefully stud
led. everything which can be made to

better to abandon the business than
conduct it on any other plan

There will be no vicious or refractory
