are freely made. whereby he under
takes to show that bank assessments
are very unequal; that the greatest
tax is placed upon banks organized
under the general banking laws Of

to make a more just and equal taxa
tion of all banks. He also recon-
mends taxing corporations. incor-
porated for manufacturing purposes,

they are now assessed only upon
their tangible property. An amend
ment is also suggested that will COM
pei corporations organized under the

In a civilized community when any
gang of roughs infract the law and COM
NIT outrages of violence the community
rises and suppresses them. In pioneer
countries they are tried by the sum
mary process of lynch law. In any case
they are suppressed one way or another.
AS with civilized communities, so it is
with civilized naSions When a people,
even savage people, commit outrages
on humanity, such as murder, enslave-
ment and torture, the civilized nations
rise and inflict punishment on the saw
ages guilty of such foul barbarity. The
savages are forced to accept TO the rule
of Il civilized government strong enough
to see to it that the outrages are not re-
peated at any time. Judged 10y this UNI
written law of nations, Turkey must
go. She has forfeited her right to be
considered as a nation. She is a relic of
barbalism in the midst of civilization.
There is no reason why she should ex-
list longer-not one. Let Russia have
her and welcome.

The LIST of September an expedition
will start to explore the regions around
the south pole and as near to it as pos
sible. AT the head is DIR. Frederick A.
Cook of Brooklyn, the arctic voyager.
The explorers will so southwark in two
small sailing vessels. 1t will take them
three months to reach the northern bor-
der of the antarctic continent, south of
Cape Horn. They will disembark on
the edge of Louis Philippe Land, in the
sixty-fourth parallel of south latitude.
At that time the antarctic summer will
be just beginning, and the scientific men
of the expedition will go to work with
might and main making explorations
and collecting specimens. They will
have dog teams to aid them and will
have provisions for three years, al
though they expect returns in two.
There is rich and vast unexplored field
for both science and ind.stry in the
antarctic continent. Traces of human
life have been observed there.

PoLI4Ics ININDIANA.

It is settled now that there is more
politics to the square inch in Indiana
than any other state in the Union, even
south Carolina in Tillman campaign.
When the rioting and fisticuffs occurred
IN the British house of commons year
ago, we Americans Z hariseelike, thank
ed goodness that such scene could not
occur in legislative body in the United
States. Wei, it has occurred, and
worse.
The Indiana legislature is Republican.
Governor Matthews is Democrat. and
he wanted one of his officers to hold
over after the assembly adjourned. The
Republicans passed bill legislating the
Democratic appointee out of Office. The
governor would not vote it pramptly,
because then the legislature could pass
it over his head. His scheme was to
hold back the veto till just at the mo-
ment of adjournment and then send 1t
in when the hour of II O'Clock would
arrive before the bill could be passed. 81
At the last moment lie sent his secre-
tary to the house. The Republicans
formed mob around him to keep him
back. Democrats fought TO open a way
for him. There resulted one of the
bloodiest and most disgraceful scenes
ever witnessed in a legislative body.
Revolvers were drawn freely; fists, feet
and nails were used. The representative
from Parke county received kick in
the pit of his stomach and fell with a
sickening thud. Men have fought for
their homes, their county and their
liberty, and the blood they sled was
sacred. but here was 4 principle at
stake greater than either home, country
or liberty. 1t was an immortal princi-
pie, stupendous, universal principle
on which the fate of ages to come de-
pended. 1t was whether small polit-
ical office should be filled 10y a member
of this party OF that.
