The Governor of Kentucky has just par
doned out of a county Jail negro who was
convicted of violating the local prohibition
law of the county. His offense consisted of
procuring bottle of beer at barbecue
for the Democratic Attorney general and
another prominent Democrat who was the
orator of the occasion. He made the pur-
chase at the earnest request of local poll
tician, who Immediately afterwards went
before the county judge and made the aft
davit on which the ne gro was arrested and
convicted. The Acknowledgement and his
friend who drank the beer made no effort
to save the negro from punishment.

When it is remembered that SO many
of the men who served in the Union
army were from seventeen to twenty
years of age when they enlisted. and
that they constitute the most prominent
element in the Grand Army it will be
realized that a large number of them
are nearer fifty years of age than any
other of the periods divided by five.
The mass of the men in the Grand
Army encampment were between fifty
and ffty-five years of age. AS the late
encampment was one of the largest and
most important ever held. and one in
which the deepest interest in the organi-
zation was manifested. it may be as
summed that the Grand Army will be a
potent factor in Indiana for some years
to come.

No well-informed person is surprised
to learn from an evening paper that its
editor insists. in effect. that the Grand
Army has no more cause to be inter-
ested in the completion of the soldiers
monument than has any other associa-
ton. That paper seems to think that
it is being constructed in honor of those
who go out of their way to sheer at ex-
soldiers. If that is the case the appoint
Ing board will doubtless accept its super
seryiceahle advice.

that history will repeat itself and that
the present period of peace will not last
much longer. There are several foreign
complications at present, any one of
which might reach an acute stage in
very short time and develop conditions
which would make war unavoidable. 1t
might come with Spain over the rebel
lion in Cuba, with England over the
Nicaraguan or Venezuelan matter. or
with Frarce over the Waller case. The
chances are strongly that all of these
complications will be amicably settled.
but they all contain the possibility of
war, and the law of averages seems to
justify belief that our next war is
not very remote.

A statement was made in the Grand
Army encampment at Muncie that 13, 900
of $1,000 pensioners on the roll of the
Indiana agency had died during the
year To the listeners such a death rate
Of pensioners-20 per cent. a year-was
appalling, as it indicated that death is
a much more formidable foe of the PEN
sioner than the Hoke Smith machine
can be under existing laws. 1t showed
that at the end of four years there
would be few pensioners or pensioners
widows remaining for the persecution of
the Cleveland Pension Bureau officers.
Fortunately, the statement is very wild.
The mistake shows the potency of zero
when it gets into an available position
with other characters representing num-
Der or value. In this case zero SNUG
gled itself into a line of figures, chang
ing 1920 to 1920. On such occasions
no figure can be more potential than a
zero. The Journal makes haste to cor
rect this error. as even veterans could
not always be cheerful in view of what
would amount to the certainty of being
dead in less than five years. The num-
Der of pensioners on the rolls of the In
diana agency at the close of the fiscal
year which ended June 80, 1894, was
II ,439, and the number of deaths, which
includes men. widows and dependent
parents and children, was only 1877, or
less than per cent. AS the number on
the rolls of the Indiana agency was H.
929 Feb % and the work of adding is
very slow, the pensioners who heard
the statement at Muncie may assure
themselves that the mischief was done
by the extra zero.

WILLIS WILL LEAVE HAWAII.
1t Is Intimated TINT the Minister Will
Take '.VacatiOn.'

Take n s.VacatiOn.''
WASHINGTON, March 29.-There are in
dications that Mr.. Willis, our minister to
Hawaii, is preparing to take leave of
absence from his post. One story is that
he will go to Japan for a time, and another
is that he will return to the United States.
The State Department officials will not say
anything about the matter, but content
themselves with pointing to the fact that
the minister has now been at his post for
more than a year, and according to the
usual practice of the department, is enti-
tied to leave of absence If he desires it
and the conditions in the country to which
he is accredited admit of his leaving. 1t
would rot be surprising, therefore if the
minister were found to be passenger

be cleaned and docked, if, indeed, he does,
not turn up before that time. During his
absence the United States legation at Hon
olulu will be left in charge of Mr.. Ellis
Mills, the secretary of legation, which will
exactly correspond in official status with
that of the Hawaiian legation at Washing
ton. In this case the conditions will be
precisely parallel to those in Rome and
Washington at the time of the Italian
trouble four years ago, when Baron Fava
left Washington for Italy and United States
Minister Porter spent nineteen months
roaming through Switzerland and other Eu-
leaving the legation in Rome in the hands
Of Mr.. Whitehouse, and the Italian lega-
ton in Washington in care of Marquis
Rudini.

TROUBLE WITH sauATTERs.
Attempt to GObble Part of the Ynnk-
ton Indian Reservation.


WASHINGTON, March 29.-Agent J. A.
Smith, of the Yankton reservation. in South
Dakota, telegraphed the Interior Depart
ment to-day that a large number OF set
tiers have squatted on the reservation and
that they have been ordered off, but that
the order could not be enforced. Later he
sent the following dispatch: "The State of
South Dakota is taking steps to appro-
pirate large part of this land for school
purposes in violation of the agreement be-
tween the government and Indians. The
Indians protest against this action and /

No action has yet been taken on either
tonight that law and order would be en-
forced at the reservation at all hazards
and that all assistance found necessary
would be given by the department The
land which the State is seeking to legis-
late to its own use is the most desirable
on the reservation and the department will
take prompt measures to secure TIE de-
feat of the States plans. The reservation
will soon be opened to settlement and proc
now pending the action of the President
south Dakota's Attempted steal.
ARMOUR, S. D., March 29.-The at
tempt of the State of South Dakota to
file on fifty thousand acres of the best land
in the Yankton reservation is arousing Bit
ter opposition. School Commissioner Lock-
hart has rendered the register of the Land
Office, at Mitchell. S. D., the fees, amounting
to about $500. The register declined to re-
ceive them, holding that the proposed ac-
ton was expressly forbidden in the treaty.
The Yanktons themselves are determined
to prevent the proposed action and have
signed a vigorous protest to the Presi-
dent. This has been put in the hands of
w. T. Selwyn, son of the head chief. who
will personally take it to President Cleve-
land.
j. A. Smith, superintendent OF the reser-
walton, telegraphed the Interior Depart
ment at Washington, to-day, that he was
unable to cope with the squatters already
on the reservation with his small force
of Indian police. the squatters refusing to
leave the reservation. Assistance will be
necessary to enforce his orders that squat
tiers must leave the reservation. General
Smith says that troops can be brought here
in twenty-four hours from Omaha by rail
and that is the nearest available point
where troops are stationed. He says he
can do nothing with the squatters now,
as he has only fifteen or twenty Indian
police and is utterly powerless. The situa-
ton will be much worse when the crowd
increases. 1t is believed here that the In
dian police have no authority to eject
the boomers anyway. There is small, but
steady stream of boomers going forward
to-day.
