pure democracy, which means, in the
end, the condition OF the South Ameri-
can Republics. This, again, means,
when there are so many men of other
races mixed together, many racial con-
fiicts. and these will call for outside
protection. The German warship will

1t is a pity that the study of these
questions which involve the destiny
and the prosperity of communities are
left, in most countries, to scholars
only, who take little part in political
matters, and therefore are not leaders.
The history of nations is full of the
evolution of governments, the rise and
fall of prosperous communities. But
the men who usually lead, and the men
who vote, have no time to study these
questions. And yet, they must decide
them. We venture to say, that compli-
Gated as our situation is, no man here
has yet said to himself: Let me study
our situation by the light of history"
To do that requires time, an aptitude
for study, and the means to command
the leisure.
If the student did it, however, and
gave the results of his patient work
to the people, he would find that the
majority would reply: eve know all
about it. You can't teach u.s."
We find that when we, in order to
set people thinking, suggest, for in
stance, the inevitable tendency of the
masses to rule, and we cannot, for a
long period, be an exception to it, at
once a bitter criticism arises, which is
invariably the criticism in all coun-
tries at all times, on such suggestions,
the criticism that discussion is pre-
mature and dangerous
1t is because the probable condition
of things here, without annexation, is
many intelligent foreigners, unwisely
oppose the great need of union with
America.

A USELESS DISCUSSION.

A correspondent, of intelligence
wealth and position, sends to us let
ter. which states with force, some OF
the reasons against annexation. We
do not publish it, because the matter
of annexation is now settled, and be-
yond discussion, so far as it can be
done by our own Government.
No man, who takes the trouble to
think seriously about it, fails to see many
perplexing questions before us in the
event of annexation. But he sees many
more perplexing, and very embarrass-
ing questions, if there is no annexation.
For this means, so far as the closest
observers can judge, the rapid decline
OF the sugar industry, the survival
only Of the best plantations, and the
rise of more or less internal disorder,
owing to the want of a permanently
stable Government. Some honest men
sincerely believe that as stable" Gov
eminent has been maintained for four
years, it can be maintained for twenty
years longer. But it cannot be done, in
the opinion of the present Government.
1t must and will change from its semi
Republican, or restricted Democratic
system, to a more distinct use Of con-
centrated power, as Mexico has now
done, or it must yield to the rule of

Mr. James B. Castle, ex-CoHector-

to Washington to succeed the late

He has been approached on the sub

will do so at its next meeting, which
will probably be held on the return
of Minister Cooper from Kauai.

THE CONFESSION REFUTED.
DIR. Wagner Was Not i'm Bellevue on
the Fatal Night.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NICHOLASTILLE, KY, March 10
Wagner's relatives here believe implicitly
in his innocence of any connection with the
Pearl Bryan murder and court a full in
v~estigation of jackson and Walling's story.
They ask the Governor to respite the men
until its falsity is established. The fol-
lowing telegram has just been sent TO
Governor Bradley by DR.. G. NJ. Hendren in
regard TO the matter.
A a brother-in-law of DR.. Wagner and
member of his family Will say we court a
full investigation of Jackson and Walling's
confession, as IL is utterly false, and If
you desire TO respite them TO investigate
&c. NJ. HENDREN."
DR.. Hendren is a leading physician of
this county and an intimate friend of Gov
ernor Bradley. The town is wild with ex-
element.
ment Of DR.. George b. Wagner's visit here
TO his father-in-law in January or Febru-
airy, 1896. However. he was here. On the
I'D of January Walter Hendren. Mrs. Wag-
ner's brother. wrote a postal card from
Cincinnati to his father, William Hendren.
saying that DR.. Wagner was losing his
stay in the country for him. On the morn
ing of Feb. 4 Walter Hendren sent this
telegram from here to Mrs. Wagner:
there is no doubt but that he returned
home that day.
If DIR. Wagner had anything to do with
the crime he must have left here secretly
and returned between Jan. % and Feb. 4.
This is very improbable.
Mrs. Wagner'S brothers and sisters held
a consultation at their fathers, Mr.. Will
liam Hendren, two miles from town, this
morning. and Walter Hendren has gone to
Lexington to see Or: Wagner, and will &c
on to Cincinnati. Maud Wagner has the
postal card of Jan. ~.
That the telegram was sent on Feb. 4 as
above is established by files of the Western
Union here. From evidence at this end il
seems that Wagner can easily prove an
alibi.

ing TO his mental condition, withdrew as a
candidate for city physician and DIR.
stead. His mental condition was unchanged
during the following winter and in January
DIR. Wagner was sent TO his father-in-law
near Nicholasville, Ky. The fact that DR..
Wagner would not be a candidate for re-
election on account of his mental condi-
ton was published in. all the papers at the
time.
DIR. Schoolfeld, of Bellevue. Ky, gives
the lie to the confession of the two men.
He says that in January. 1896, he and DR..
Wagner were in attendance on a Mr.. jack
son and his wife. That DIR. Wagner went
away to visit his father-in-law in Nichol-
asville. Ky, and that his books show that
he took full charge of the case on Jan. 81.
Ee is of the opinion that DR.. wagner went
away several days before this date.
Mrs. Wagne wife of DR.. George b. Wag-
ner. was told of the confession at her res
idence in Bellevue and expressed great in
dignation. I'VE can show" she said, that
DIR. Wagner was not in Bellevue at the
time the murder was committed. Late in
January Walter Henderson. of Nicholas

with him. My husband. we can prove con-
