There is some reason to suspect that
the representative of the Chicago
Woman's Press League who is to be
sent to England 10 arouse public inter
est in behalf of Mrs. Maybrick will come
home wiser than she now is, One of
the things she will discover is that the
Briton is less emotional than the Ameri-

will desire to know why she should in

duty to do so will be less easy to set

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day reversed the
Judgment of the Indiana Circuit Court i'm
the case of the Sanford Fork and Tool
Company, appellants, VS.. Howe, Brown
& Co. A new trial was awarded. The
case was argued JAM. IS by Hon. John

pellants and Cyrus F. McNutt, sydney b.
Davis and J. G. McNutt for appellees.
The question whether. in computing the
time of service which entities an officer in
the regular army to longevity pay, service
in a volunteer regiment is service in the
army of the United States was decided in
the case of Gen. Thomas w. Sweeney, who
served as a volunteer in the Mexican war
and was made to return to the government
a certain amount which he had received as
a longevity ration allowance, and on which
action the Controller was sustained by the
Court of Claims. The Supreme Court of the

Justice Brown. that, according to the act
of March 2, 1867, voluntary service was to
be included in fixing longevity pay.

Detroit Is considering the garbage ques-
ton and there is a feeling there not only
against the establishment of dumping
grounds or crematories by the city, but
against the removal of the garbage by per-
sons officially designated by the city 1t
is argued that all the city should DO is
to specifically forbid the depositing of
refuse in alleys and streets and back yards,
and that it should then be the business
of the citizens to see that it is deposited
The disposition of it is held
to be a. matter of private concern and
not that of the city, which need not care
what is done with it so long as it is not
placed where it will be a nuisance. All
the city needs to do is To see that the
citizen obeys the sanitary regulations-a
thing he must do as a part of the tax he
pays for living in q city. When it is un-
derstood that the individual will be respon-
ssble, private agencies win appear 10 meet
his requirements and the business will
regulate itself. This reasoning is forcible.
1t will be remembered that in this city,
last year, when certain contractors were
appointed 10y the city authorities to re-
move garbage, at individual expense, how
ever, there was much complaint that the
work was not promptly done; also. that
the cost was greater than it had previously
been when the work was done by private
contractors. Inasmuch as there was no
competition negligence naturally followed
ard the slow moving machinery of public
departments made complaints practically
ineffective. Inasmuch as the problem is np
for consideration again before the city an-
thorities it may be worth while to con-
slider this view of it.

1t is worth while to note that the Now
York theatrical managers failed to draw
a crowd TO see their much advertised
woman dressed only in a coat of paint.
and 1T is by no means certain that the
crowd would ave been larger had the
enterprising gentlemen carried out their
intention of exhibiting the woman with
out the paint. 1t will hardly do to say
that the nastiness of the stage is due
to public taste in the face of these Ev-
ing picture failures and the opposing
fact hat a clean, bright American play
invariably draws larger audiences than
any other.

The Journal hopes that the report to
the effect that the Republican commits

If it is so Republicans should denounce

make odious such favoritism in bridge
building and other contracts as has been
carried on in this county by Democrats.
