likewise appealed and are pending. These
cases will so through the same mill. The
committee announces thai it has no favor
ties and every saloon not located on the
principal business streets will be prosecuted
under the new provision. In the meantime,
the saloon men are making d nouse-to-
house canvass, securing signatures to pc
tition with hopes of having the ordinance
repealed by the Council. The committee Is
on the alert to see that it is not molested,
as they claim that it furnishes a field for
telling prohibition work among he factory
men, and where most needed. The saloons
are thick in the districts near the iron and
glass factories, and are well patroniZed.
The idea is to break these places up.
The Young Mems Christian Band was not
in evidence to-day, and Muncie business
houses were open as usual. This line of re-
form has been entirely abandoned, and the
committee of one hundred carded the press
last week, stating that it was IN no way
connected with the band, but is being led
by church members.

MIR. sTEELE's TROUBLES.
Not Yet Decided on the I<OIxOmO Post
mastership.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO, Ind, Aug. S.-Since the ad-
journment of Congress Representative
Steele has spent much of his time in this
county trying to make satisfactory post
master recommendations, the offices of ko-
komo and Greentown being the ones under
consideration. While here Thursday he de-
cided to recommend George w. Price for
the Greentown office, but left without re-
Vealing his intentions regarding the koko-
mo appointment. Kokomo and GreentoWn
held primary elections last spring and Mr..
Price who has assurances of appointment,
was the choice at the Greentown election.
The winner at the election in this city
was Taylor Whiteker, a popular soldier, but
not an active party worker, There are two
other candidates for the place, Ross Ellis
and Fl. NJ. Sailors, both prominent Repub-
licans. Whiteker, who won in a vote of
nearly two thousand, is expected to carry
off the prize. Notwithstanding the assertion
that Mr.. Steele would pay no attention to
primary elections for postmaster. The Ko-
komo Tribune, the Republican organ of the
county, came out Saturday for the choice
of the primary and advocated the appoint
ment Of Mr.. Whiteker who will no doubt
caI1tura the plum.

London Papers Agree the Future Is
Dark for Spain.

LONDON, Aug. 9.-Thc Daily News in an
editorial on the assassination of Canovas,
says: THE deed follows quickly on the
pious invocatons to England as the classic
land of liberty uttered by the eXiled Span
ish Anarchists on their arrival at Liverpool.
These are Anarchist words On the other
hand the killing is one of their acts. 1t is
impossible to draw any moral hut this, that
the Spanish Anarchist is a beast of prey
without even a beasts discrimination"
Commenting on the inability of Senior
Canovas to deal with the formidable task
in Cuba, the Daily News lays: death,
after all, has certainly dealt kindly oy him
in relieving him of the personal humiliation
of an inevitable failure The iusurrection,
if it makes no progress, at least marks
time and the United States is again be-
ginning to talk of a time limit for the
other side. Brave words and even brave
deeds will hardly meet a difficulty of this
sort, unless they are right and wise ONES
as well. The future is dark for Spain.
Barbarous murder has removed ore of the
few man able to carry on the Queen Re
gents government amid awful difficulties.
Italy has again supplied the executive agent
of the behests of anarchy. She deserves
our coincidence almost more than SPAN.
The Times says, editoriaIly: The crime
appears to be an act of anarchist revenge
for the execution of the Barcelona con-
spirators. The Anarchists have given man
kind one me reason to regard them as
the implacable enemies of their race Spain
loses in Senior CanoVas del Castillo the best
and most capable of her living statesmen"
The Daily Chronicle says: we cannot
find words to express our horror of the
act Its lesson is that the mere suppression
of anarchy by force is no cure. Spain needs
reform and unless reform comes there is
reason to fear the repetition OF such crimes.
The act is a dire blow to the cause of free
dom It will rouse all the forces of reaction
and will tie the Car and the Kaiser more
closely together in a desire to repress rea-
sonabe liberty"
The Standard says: 1.-The crime is calcu-
lated to lead the revolted colonies and the
foreign powers to believe that the hostility
to the Spanish Constitution and govern
me,nt is greater than that which really ex.
lists. They will choose to see in it proof
that Spain is house divided against itself
and a prey to internal discussions, and
therefore less to be feared In :, eondiet
fortunately engaged it would be regretta-
BILE for many reasons should such an luea
become generally prevalent among spain
eLemieS or rivals. "

barcelona AnarcbistS in Prison


Madrid Letter in London Times.
When was in Barcelona fortnight ago
I went over the Castle Monjuich, where the
Anarchists are guarded There were a
good lot of them-over $50, 1 think-some
to be deported for penal serVitude, some to
be sent to Rio de ORC, and some to be re-
leased at the frontier The castle is as
you know most splendidly situated, and all
the cells are excellent. healthy and light.
When l arrived the families had just been
to see the prisoners, who looked most con-
tented as they massed to the windows of
the big rooms where they were together.
When the families (once or twice a week.
are allowed TO see the prisoners, these come
out on the outer walls and they all dine to-
gether. ! also saw the cells OF the more
dangerous prisoners. They were generally
two or three together, and the cells have
bigger windows with iron bars, OF course)
and are better than most Easements in
London houses. When l arrived ii struck
me Immediately how happy and contented
all these somuch pttied people looked, and
when the general commanding the castle
and | passed the cells Of the dangerous
prisoners condemned to penal servitude It
also struck me how kindly they saluted
him and how nicely he answered their sa-
Lutte. Good day, my general good day
they said, and waved their hands like they
do here | told the general how aStOnished
I was to see this amiablity You see" ne
the rules and good order will allow me
| They have good food and are we'll treated,
and then they are grateful. and after all
they are better housed and better fed than
ever before" \ little further on 1 saw the
only woman prisoner. the famous Spanish
Louise Michel. She was in q, good room
with big windows on the ground floor,
where she lives. together with her husband.
After all I saw-and 1 did not pay a fly
| ing visit l stayed nearly four hours at the
| castle-I must say that I have seldom seen
a more healthy prison and more happy
! looking prisoners. AS we all know, the
| Spanish people is generally a kind good
| hearted people, and / have brought back
| with me a conviction that the general COM
handing the castle and his officers do not
belle this opinion. Of course they must do
| their duty and keep order but they do
| their duty humanely and as kindly as the
| circumstances will allow.
