Next years muster is expected to be a
good one," said one of the National Guard
officers yesterday. 1.-The training in camp
this year gave indications that splendid
showing may be expected. New members
having been added, and in fact the majority
of all in camp would not average over %
wears, is one reason why fine muster may
be anticipated. The companies were all
fairly well drilled and next year they will
be better fitted to enter the field"

portion to the totality of residents.
Naturally enough, it is in Chicago,
but recently the scene of international
gayeties and extravagant festivities.
that penury is most severe and poverty
presses hardest upon the people. The
condition is natural consequence of the
suspension of such gigantic enterprise
as the Columbian exposition. There is
always an aftermath of misery attend
ant upon such affairs, and it is increased
in the case of Chicago by the unusual
number of men out of work because of
the depression in business. To these
must be added the men whose occupa-
tions are such that they cannot be fol-
lowed in the winter season. Some pro-
portion of these always require assist
ance when work suspends, and there
are more of them this winter than ever
before. Then there is also the omni-
present tramp.
Chicago is making heroic efforts to cope
with the condition that confronts her,
however, and has gone to work in her
usual businesslike way to minimize the
suffering so far as possible. Some of her
best citizens have organized themselves
into body known as the Central Relief
association, which has taken general
charge of all charitable work in the city,
and is endeavoring to systematic it SO
that adequate relief may be given to the
greatest possible number through the
mediumship of the regular charitable So
cieties. The Central association does not
itself dispense charity to individuals or
families, but gathers information and
collects funds, clothing and provisions
for distribution through the ordinary
channels.
The keynote of its methods may be
found in the following paragraph from
one of its circulars:
In dispensing food and lodging through any
agencies now existing or that may hereafter be
created, the money furnished by the central
bureau will not he used except under the con-
dition that bleboded men receiving fodd and
lodging shall render the equivalent for it in
work, and with that end in view work for those
who are willing and able to perform it will be
provided by the street cleaning bureaus in
cleaning the streets and other agencies indi-
eating desire to furnish employment through
this bureau.
T. w. Harvey, the chairman of the
association. is one of Chicago's sturdiest
champions. He believes the Lake City
is destined to become the metropolis of
the world and is fond of producing facts
AMI figures to sustain lis theory. Tie
The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1894-02-28

facts and figures with which he is deal
ing just now in connection with the as
sociation's work would discourage most
men, but Mr.. Harvey has the optimistic
idea that they are, after all. another evi-
dence of Chicago's greatness. He is one
of the Oldest lumber merchants in the
city, and the town of Harvey. one of Chi
cago's suburbs, was named ,.fter him.
Other cities are also making extraor-
dinary efforts to relieve their poor. The
New York Association For Improving
the Condition of the Poor is trying to
collect $50,000, which sum it considers
will be needed in addition to its ordinary
revenues, and all the other metropolitan
charities are making similar endeavors.
If the matter We're not so serious, there
would be something humorous in the
scheme of saloon keeper in Milwaukee
who proposes that all barkeepers in the
city agree to abolish free lunches and
contribute % per cent of the amount
thereby saved to the relief fund. He
thinks 81 800 day could be raised in
this manner.
Hardly less unique was the method
adopted by the congregation of Boston's
famous fremont Temple, some of the
members of which went without their
dinner ON recent Friday and thereby
raised nearly $500 for the benefit of peo-
pie who had no dinners to abstain from

1890. He studied law and soon after be-
coming of age emigrated to Indiana,
floating down the Ohio river from Pitts
burg to where Jeffersonville now stands.
He was admitted to the bar in Clark
county, and soon afterward got an ap-
pointment as clerk to the receiver of pub
lie money at Vincennes. On the organ
ization of the territorial legislature he
was made the first clerk of that body,
and later in the same year was elected first
delegate to congress.
After the adoption of the constitution
in-1816 he was elected governor of the
new state and reelected in 1918. Dur
ing this year President Monroe ap-
pointed him on the commission which
negotiated the new purchase" from
the Indians, and an attempt was made
to oust him from the governorship on
the ground that he had violated the law
prohibiting the holding of more than
one Office. The attempt failed, and in
1920 he was one of the commission
which located the capital at Indianapolis.
In 1922 Governor Jennings was elected
to congress from the Second district
and was afterward re elected for three
successive terms. On his retirement he
was appointed on the Indian commission
of 1882, and two years later he died.
Although to Jonathan jennings be-
longs the honor of being the first gov
ernor of the state, William Henry Har-
rison was the first territorial governor.

iNDIANA's FIRST GOVERNOR.
A New Granite Monument Marks His Grave
at Charlestown.

A New Granite Monument Marks His Grave
mt Charlestown.
After go years of neglect Indiana has
erected at Charlestown monument to
her first governor, Jonathan Jennings.
1t is of New Hampshire granite. nearly
eight feet in height, and marks the place
of the governors burial on hillside in
the old cemetery at the edge of the town.
Governor Jennings died ON his farm,
about three miles west of Charlestown,
on July 20. 1884, and no stone ever mark
ed his resting place until this monument
was erected.
1t is great debt which Indiana has
thus tardily paid. She owes her exist
ence as a state to bill which Jonathan
Jennings introduced in congress IN 1916,
when he was her territorial delegate, and
she owes him much besides. He was
president of the convention which framed
her constitution, and it was in great
measure due to his vigilance that moth
ing favorableto slavery was incorporated
in tine organic law of the state. He was
one of the commissioners who negotiated
the treaty with the Pottawatomy and
Miami Indians in 1889, and saved Indi-
ana from the bloody fate which overlook
Wisconsin and Illinois in the Black
Hawk war of that year.

ginia in 1884 and reared in Fayette coun-

HELP FOR THE NEEDY
RELIEF FOR TIE SUFFERING POOR IN
TtiE GREAT CITIES.

Condition That Exceeds the Mitigating
Powers of Charitable Societies-.Ener-
geney Committees In Chicago and Else
where.
Hard winters" have been complained
of frequently enough during recent
years, but the amount of distress and
destitution at present prevailing through
out the country is unprecedented and ap-
palling Winter is always q season of
more or less hardship in cold Climates,
but never since the dull season that fol-
lowed the memorable panic of 1878 has
there been such widespread suffering as
exists now. Every community is affect
ed to a greater or less degree, but in the
great cities, where thousands of unemr
ployed unfortunates are herded together
in squalid misery, poverty is most ap-
parent and starvation seems most inni-
nent-poverty Knocked by rnagnifcence,
starvation in the midst of abundance.
The army of the unemployed is con-
stantly increasing, and it is impossible to
estimate their number with any ap.
proach to accuracy. Those most worthy
OF relief are most apt; to conceal their
sufferings and will escape enumeration.
A New York newspaper estimates that
there are in that city upward of 123, 1000
persons out of work, while Chicago has

The Fifth Ward Justice.

To THE EDITOR OF THE TINES In re-
gard to the appointment of the Justice
Of the Fifth ward in the place of c. f.
Ward, resigned, it appears from the re-
rort OF the proceedings OF Council that
j. w. Neal received tho appointment,
when at the time it was in evidence be-
fore Council, by certificate from r.
Randolph Hicks, chairman of the city
executive committee. that w. w. Rule
was the choice Of the Democrats OF tina
ward in the last municipal primary
election.
Along with this were quite a number
OF the most prominent citizens of that
ward, including E. B. Crabill, ]. A.
Otey and A. j. Davis, members of the
Democratic executive committee; w.
j. High and j. D. McNamee. two OF
the councilmen of that ward; w. R.
Coulburn, registrar, and such citizens
as Capt. R. B. Norman, W w. Lv-
man, M. M. Marsh, A. S. Wood, J. J.
Landlord, T. j. Gill, w. N. Lowry, G
w. Crumpecker and number Of others
who recommended his appointment. Is
not this action of Council likely to
hurt the party organization in that
ward? This is what call sitting down
on the will of the people BY the way.
is not this action of Council also a
little previous? Has the Council the
right to appoint justice? This Office
is not creature of the corporation. II
is as old as the lex scripta.
