the institutions have met his suggestions
with reduction in their salary lists or
administrative expenses which. though not
very great is worth saving to the State.
The managers of some of the other institu-
tions have been able to satisfy the Gov
ernor that they were already on bedrock
basis so far as economical management Is
concerned and that no reduction can be
made without detriment to the institutions.
In the case of the Reformatory. late South
ern Prison the Governor. after investiga-
ton, gave his approval to acts and ex-
penditures of the managers the proprfety of
which he had been disposed to question.
and there is now perfect understanding
between them. Other institutions, are yet
to be heard from, and it is to be hoped the
Governor will pursue the same course in
regard to these that he has with those
which have already responded to his sug
gestions or which he has visited If there
is room for reduction of expenses with
out injuring the efficiency of the institu-
tions it should be made and if any irreg-
uarities or abuses have crept into the adj
ministration they should be reformed.
Thus far in prosecuting his inquiry the
Governor has shown himself entirely rea-
sonable, open to conviction and without the
slightest disposition to enforce picayunish
economy. There is no danger that he will
insist upon anything to the detriment of
the institutions or the prejudice of the
managers. In emphasizing the necessity
of strictseconomy in the public affairs the
Governor represents the interests of the
people and has their support Under the
Constitution and laws he is a quasi-member
of the boards of management of all the
public institutions and more directly re-
sponsible to the people than are the man.

ayers of the institutions, and instead of be-
operated with to the fullest extent. 1t
looks now as if the net result of the Gov
ernor's action would be to bring out the
fact that, in the main, the benevolent and
penal institutions of Indiana are as faith
fully, efficiently and economically man
aged as those of any other State. If this
shall be established the Governor will
doubtless be as we'll pleased as the man

official experts and bankers. Congress
ought to- be glad to avail itself of the de-
liberate aud careful conclusions regarding
monetary reform OF such a body of men,
and their suggestions would have great
weight with the country. Another adj
vantage of such committee would be that
it could be revised without any authorizing
action by Congress, thus giving its report
the prestige of being an administration
measure. Finally, the two plans harmonic
perfectly. The President might recommend
to Congress the appointment of commits
sion. and if a commission is created the
Gage Eckels bill could be submitted TO it,
otherwise the bill can be held till Congress
meets again and presented to that body.
Whatever the Presidents plan is he should
embrace the earliest opportunity of laying
it before Congress and the country.

Senator Vest spent some time in the Sen
ate one day last week in trying to demon
strate that the paragraph of the tariff bill
on hats provided for a duty of 213 per cent.
Upon this basis he figured that a foreign
made hat which in the country where it is
made would cost 81 would cost $626 here,
that 50 per cent. of the American peo-
pie wear Americana made hats, and that by
reason of home competition a good hat can
be got from 50 to So and a very service
able hat from 81 to $3.50. If any person
insists on wearing foreign-made hats which
are no better than the homemade, let him
pay the duty thereon or go to the country
where his favorite hat is made.

The wisdom of the retroactive clause of
the tariff bill has been fully demonstrated
by the fact that since it was stricken out
400, 100000 pounds of WOOL 100000 tons of raw
sugar and 500, 0O0, 900 worth Of manufactured
goods have been rushed into the country
to escape the new tariff A years supply
of wool, almost a years supply of sugar
and more than years supply of many
manufactures will escape the increased du
ties through the stupid and indefensible
action of the Senate in striking out the
retroactive duty clause originally in
serted by the House. This was one Of the
first things the Senate committee did to
prove it's superior wisdom. Now pretty
much all of it's superior wisdom is being
undone and the striking out of the retro
active clause proves to have been monu-
mental biunder.

No United States senator has ever made
more reputation of the right kind in the
same length of time than Senator Fair
banks has since taking his seat. Compare
lively few men enter the Senate without
a previous service in the lower house of
Congress or in state politics. Senator Fair
banks never held any political office till he
was elected to his present position, yet in
the short period of three months he has
demonstrated his aptitude for public affairs
to a notable degree and has come to be re-
garded as one of the clear-headed and
level-headed men of the Senate. He went
to the Senate with the prestige of having
been temporary chairman of the st. Louis
convention and a personal friend of the
President, but mere prestige soon wears
out in that body unless it is backed by
merit. Mr.. Fairbanks is getting there.

II there is truth in the statement that
Minister Woodford's first demand of Spain
in the name of the President will be that
the war in Cuba must be conducted with
out the cruelties which the official reports
make Weyler guilty of. the administration
will simply follow in the footsteps of Gen.
Grant when, as President, he instructed
Minister Sickles in 1859, as follows:
You will also, in the name of the Presi-
dent, solemnly protest against any longer
carrying on this war in Cuba in this bar
barous way. For now nearly a year the in
surgents have maintained themselves
against all the forces which Spain and the
Catalan volunteers have been able to put
in the field against them. In the Judgment
of the President, in which l believe the
whole civilized world will coincide, the
time has come when this struggle should
be carried on in a more humane way. To
shoot prisoners of war simply because they

Turkey Submits a New Frontier Scheme to
the Ambassadors.
CoNsrANT1NoPLE, July 49, At the
last sitting Of the peace conference
Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish minister OF
foreign affairs, submitted to the con.
ference q new frontier scheme which
was unacceptable to the powers and the
ambassadors thereupon informed Tewik
that the conference would adjourn I'M
til he brought a written acceptance by
his government Of the frontier line
traced by the military attaches.
The ambassadors assembled at 10
O'Clock but finding that Tewfik Pasha
did not come, adjourned to the Austrian
embassy, where Tewfik Pasha presented
himself at noon, with the excuse that
the sultan had detained him and the
military commission at the Yildi7
Kiosk. Tewdk explained that the sui
tan had appointed larshals Zekh
Pasha and Saaded-Din-Pasha as new
military delegates to negotiate peace.
The ambassadors unanimously and posi-
lively declined to discuss the questions
with anybody except with Tewhk
Pasha.
Although the orders recently issued
have been countermanded $1,000 troops
are still held in readiness to start for the
island of Crete at the shortest notice.
