Mr.. HANNA'S CHILDREN.
Took Them Out of Public School on
Account of War History.

At the meeting of the Republican Camp
of Veterans and their Sons held in the
Criminal courtroom last night Montgom-
ery's school history of the United States
was arraigned in rather sharp terms. The
attendance numbered about fifty. 1t was
the sense of those present that the his
tory of the United States now in use in
the schools is a worthless piece of litera-
ture
Daniel L. Brown made a hot speech de-
nouncing the history. He had been APP
pointed by the camp to investigate the
book. He declared it was no history of the
rebellion, but a conglomeration of stuff
that has no tendency to teach patriotism
to the coming generation. He said it
seemed to be the intent of the book to
teach the pupil what great generals Robert
e. Lee and jefferson Davis were. The
work, according to his notion, would be good
literature in Texas. He thought it a shame
and a disgrace to state that had such a
Governor as Oliver P. Morton. Mr.. Brown
declared if he had child in school he
would thrash the first man that put such a
book into the pupils hands.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Hanna said he
would not send his children TO a school
that taught that Lee was a greater general
than Grant. Mr.. Hanna had taken his boys
out of the city schools on this account and
had placed them in private schools.
Trustee Makepeace said: Il am compelled
to handle these books, much as l dislike it,
But l have u set of teachers who will not
teach that Lee was the greatest general.
If they did, their money would be ready
the next day
The veterans discussed the new rule at
the Indiana Reformatory which prevents
men who are over forty years of age from
securing positions in the institution. A
committee reported it had communicate fed
with Governor Mount, who had promised
to investigate this matter. The committee
also wrote to Warden Hert, but has re-
ceived no reply. This committee was in
structed to investigate the Central Hospital
for the Insane and the Institutes for the
Blind and Deaf and Dumb and ascertain
how many old soldiers are being employed
in these institutions.

Beautiful Woman Whose Photos Do
Not Do Her Justice.

The rehearsals of the chldrens chorus
yesterday afternoon at Tomlinson Hall and
the main chorus in the evening, together
with Mr.. Van der Stucken's symphony or
chestra, was sufficient to show that the
chorus work will border close to perfec-
ton, and excel any ever given before in
indianapolis. Il never saw such a perse-
vering man before" remarked Miss Rus
sell, who attended the rehearsal last night
1T seems to me they sing all right but
he is bound TO have it perfect" Then Miss
Russell expressed much surprise that a
city the size of Indianapolis has a May
festival of such magnitude every year
''Why, you have a musical treat equal to
that only furnished in the big cities of
the world. l don't see how they manage
TO make money for it requires a great

THE GENERAL AssEMBLY.

To-day for the first time the General As
sembly Of the Presbyterian Church of
America will meet in Indiana. The meet
ing of so distinguished body within the
State under any circumstances would be
an event of interest, but the present meet
ing is peculiarly so. The Presbyterian
Church of America is much older than the
State Of Indiana. Presbyterianism in Amer
lea dates from the closing years of the sew
enteenth century and the church as now
organized from 1858. The first General AS
sembly was held in Philadelphia in 1885,
twenty-seven years before Indiana was adj
mitted to the Union. That assembly en-
braced only the synods of New York and
New Jersey of Philadelphia, of Virginia
and of the Carolinas The one which meets
at Winona to-day represents synods from
Maine to California. Presbyterianism bore
an honorable part in laying the foundations
of liberty in the colonies, in the prosecu-
ton of the revolutionary war, in the forma-
ton and adoption of the Constitution, and
it has kept even pace with the growth and
development of the country. IT is no dis
arrangement of other great church organiza-
tions to say that the Presbyterian has
been one among the most powerful and
benefcent factors in the development of
American civilization. The General Assem-
bly, which meets at Winona to-day will
represent considerably more than 100000
communicates, of whom $4,000 are in In
diana. Under ordinary circumstances it
might have been supposed that in coming
to Indiana the General Assembly would
have selected a large city as the place of
meeting, but it has made a notable de-
parture in selecting a sort of pleasure re-
sort near the beautiful town of Warsaw.
Much enterprise has been shown in MAX
ing arrangements for the comfortable ac-
commodation of the assembly and its men,
bers at Winona, and those who have had
the matter in charge deserve great credit.
Yet there is always danger that arrange
ments so hastily made will be inadequate.
For the credit of the State it is hoped
this may not be the case in the present
instance, and that the distinguished assem-
blage may be led to fix it's permanent meet
ing Mace in Indiana.

Mr.. Curtis the Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Record, says there has been
little speculation in Sugar Trust stocks in
official circles this season. Those stocks adj
vanced after the schedule of the Republic
ans of the Senate finance committee was
announced, but they soon declined. Three
years ago, Mr.. Curtis adds. speculation in
sugar stocks was all the talk about the
Capitol. Employees took a hand in it and
many got a few dollars of other people S
money out of the speculation through the
bucket shops. There seems to be little
probability that the sugar schedule of the
Senate bill will ever become a part of the
tariff law

II, so Tar as revenue IS concerned.

AS the city is fully committed to the park
policy the work should be organized and
conducted on a broad scale from the be-
ginning. BY this is not meant an eXtrava-
CANT scale but on a consistent plan of look
ing to future development and the best
results. 1t is particularly important that the
plan for the Improvement of the large park
should be one that will work out harmon
iously without the necessity of undoing and

it would seem to be advisable to employ
a professional to design a general scheme
of improvement, instead of going ahead in
hap-hazard fashion and perhaps making
mistakes the correction of which may prove

Senator Caffery, of Louisiana (Dem.), has
offered an amendment to the Senate COM
mittee tariff bill which substitutes the SUI
gar schedule of the Dingley bill for that
encourag cement, as it may indicate that the
Dingley schedule will be substituted unless
all of the Democrats vote for the Senate
schedule with the senators who may take
the risk of being regarded as friends of the
Sugar Trust. The Dingley bill is better for
Mr.. Caffery's constituents because it affords
better protection to raw sugar. 1t is bet
ter for everybody except the few who own
those stocks of the sugar-refning company
upon which dividends are declared. 1t is
by far the most important schedule in tar

The point is well made that those who
purchased the bonds and stock of the Cit
liens Street-railroad Company could not
have been so conf1ding as they are repre-
sented by the company's lawyers Even
if it had been dribbled out the purchaser
would have inquired as to the aggregate of
the stocks and bonds and how much was
paid for the property. The truth is that
those who took bonds and stock knew
what they were taking and paid a corre-
spending value. They took them with the
chance of having a perpetual charter and
a five-cent fare. If they did not; if the
holders are SO deliciously innocent as the
companys spokesman represent them, then
they were duped by the managers of the
company. And what sort of persons may
these be whose spokesman declare they
swindled innocent people by selling them
an inflated bond and a worthless stock?
