vICE-PREsIDENr MORTON.

Vice President Morton will have the
unique distinction among those who
leave Washington next Saturday of
being one at least who lays down the
duties of Office without the shadows of
defeat resting DER his head.
For four years he has presided over
the Senate is peculiarly polite, digni-
fed and non-partisan manner. Strong
Republican as he is, his treatment Of
both political parties has been charac-
terize6 with a fairness never before sur
passed.
That the senator's themselves appre-
ciated this fact Is shown 10y the recent
banquet rendered him, fact by which
he was honored as none of his predeces-
sors have been honored. The Offering
of respect was made unanimously by
men of all shades of opinion to the man
who never disclosed his political opinion
in his term of office as the presiding
officer of the senate. IL was case
where politics ceased to exist, and it
was all the more deserved because Mr..
Morton is in no sense politician, but a
man of culture and learning, man
whom the nation as well as his col
leagues delight to honor.

THE INDIANA.

The launching of the battleship
Indiana marks an epoch in American
ship building Of which the friends Of
the protective principle of the Repub-
hcan party have every reason to be
proud. Less than a decade ago the con
struction of such ship would have
been an impossibility in this country,
and indeed the first of the ships of what
may be called the new navy were partly
constructed of imported materials.
Since that time the productive capa-
city of the shipyards of this country
has vastly increased. The plant for the
construction of the Indiana, and that for
making the armor, engines and gun bars
has been almost wholly created within
eight years. The plans of all our re-
cent vessels are American, and all of
the materials have been wrought out by
American skill and American labor.
These last boats have no superiors in
the world if they have equals, and the
genius of American workmen can
claim the credit of the work.
In his report of 1890 Secretary Tracy
said: "In these battleships the de-
partment confidently asserts that the
United States will become possessed of
three vessels of the highest power,
whose equals as fighting ships do not
exist today" The Indiana. it may
scarcely be necessary to mention, is
swift, heavily armed with Harveyized
plates, powerfully equipped with arms
of the most recent type, and built after
the latest and most improved naval
architecture 1t Is not as fast or SO
large as some of the foreign battleships,
but its equipment is in every sense more
complete.
The policy of the Republicans in in
augurating this system Of building a
navy for ourselves, to take the place of
the antiquated remnants of the civil war,
has been most successfully carried out
by Secretary Whitney, who was able
to complete some of the cruisers which
had already been planned and lay plans
for others, and by Secretary Tracy who
has at last placed the navy where it has
at least a sample vessel of all kinds
ahoat, from the torpedo boat to the
1t is splendid achieve
ment for the party policy Of the party
who saved the country on land to be
able also to foster a system of naval ex-
penditures which shall protect the nation
on sea.

a condition Of the amendment asked to
its charter.
The Friends School, as is perfectly
well known, is now denominational in
little but name and the administration
of certain trust funds that have been
bequeathed with conditions that cannot
be modified. Its doors are open to all,
and its teaching. in method and sub.
stance, has little if any tinge Of Sec
tarianism.
The school is an institution the state
is proud of, and the state ought to foster
it, at least to the extent that it fosters
other schools whose means and methods
are no more beneficial to the general
cause of education.
Abstract justice and pure self-interest
prompt that the burden of taxation be
removed from the school. The state
will certainly be the gamer, and the city
will profit a hundred-fold more by the
prosperity of the school than it possibly
can by the amount of taxes it annually
extorts from it.

There were two matters brought be-
fore the attention of the General As
sembly yesterday the defeat of one of
which and the success of the other are
Of great Interest to the state. The one
was resolution providing for the sub
mission of the constitutional conven-
ton question to the people; the other
was the proposition of the governor,
looking toward the consideration of the
new state house question.
How easy matter it is to remedy
any defect in the constitution by sub
mitting an amendment to the people
was amply illustrated at the last cleo
tion. The people can always make
changes that are needed without sub
mitting themselves to the dangers and
political chickering's which must result
from constitutional convention, with
the final constitution probably differing
only slightly from the present one.
The fundamental law of the state is q
subject of greatest Importance to the
people, and radical changes in it would
work great hardship to many, need
less expense and great trouble
But the new state house needs no ad-
vocacy at this late day. The people
have already decided that question. They
want it, and they are prepared to pay
for it. They have set the price for the
General Assembly to be guided by, and,
having gone so far, the sooner active
measures are taken the better. The
seal of the governor in this matter is
well placed.

conducted an inquiry to discover the
foundation for certain charges circu-
lated against the Home manage
ment by AN ex-inmate and ex-convict.
Governor Brown personally interro-
gated every soldier that came before
him, and gave each one special oppor-
tunity TO state his grievance, with none
present but the reporters and the board
to hear. There are at Mr. Owens SER
vice several hundred folios Of verbatim
statements made by the inmates of the
home, and he might have seen that evi-
dence before introducing his resolution,
if he had asked the chairman of the
board what had been done in the matter.
Investigations have been the forlorn
hopes of the Democratic party. During
the past five years, whenever they have
obtained possession Of one of the
branches of the legislature, they insti-
tuted Investigations into the manage
ment of the State Prison and the State
Home and School. Those Investigations
cost the state several thousand dollars,
and the mountains they disturbed
brought forth very small mice. The
desire to make political capital stimu-
lated those Investigations, and it is
apparent that the desire has not yet
been squelched.

THE DEMOCRATIC FoRLoRN HOPE

THE DEMOCRATIC FORLoRN HOPE
The five Democratic senators who
voted last Tuesday against the appro-
priation for the Grand Army Memorial
Hall placed their party in an unsavory
relation to the patriotic public generally,
and the veterans particularly. Realiz.
ing their blunder and anxious to ward
off the indignation of the old soldier and
his friends they have introduced in the
House, through Representative Owen, a
resolution calling for committee to
investigate the Soldiers Home.
The Soldiers Home is the institution
at which the old soldiers are cared for
at the expense of the state. 1t is under
the control Of six veterans, who, with
the governor, general treasurer and the
adjutant general, form the State Board
of Soldiers Relief. The secretary of the
board and the commandant, or superin-
tendent, OF the house are also veterans.
1t is, therefore, home for veterans
managed by veterans.
The Democrats are always ready to
count the cost when the veteran asks
for anything. Last Wednesday when
the appropriation bill was under discus.
sion in the Senate Mr.. Comstock said
Twenty thousand dollars seems TO me
a good deal for the support of 103 old
soldiers" The leader of the Democrats
in the senate, it would appear, be.
grudges the old soldiers less than 5000
each year for their board and lodging.
The veterans will do well to remember
that remark and to receive suspiciously
any expression of sympathy or offer Of
assistance from Democratic sources.
The political motive that prompted
the introduction of this resolution is
too palpable, otherwise the movement
might be considered an insult to the
governor and the board Of veterans.
The suggestion that an investigation is
necessary carries with it the implica.
tion that the board has been negligent
in IT'S supervision. Mr.. Owen is prob
ably aware that the board has recently
