Representative Bailey, of Texas, is show
ing some of the qualities of d leader and
fair fighter In his tilt with the Populists
and free-silver Democrats on Monday he
said Prosperity was what everyone
wanted; if the Republicans gave prosperity
they would be given vote of confidence;
If they did not, return to bimetallism was
assured This is a fair statement of the
case. All patriotic Americans ought to
agree that prosperity is what everyone de-
sires, and Republicans cannot object to the
other part of the proposition. If they give
prosperity, or if it comes under laws of
their enactng they will receive from the
people a vote of confidence, otherwise they
will be turIed out of power The only ex-
cepton that can be taken to Mr.. Baieys
statement is that if the Republican admin
istration fails and the party is turned out
of power "a return to bimetallism is as
sured." He uses the term bimetallism in
the false sense that free silverites use it.
We have bimetallism now, but with free
silver we should have silver monometal-
liSm.

Eastern fire underwriters have always
taken the ground that natural gas added
to the risks. and have increased insurance
rates accordingly wherever it is used as
fuel. Pittsburg paper points out that
whatever might have been the case when
gas first came into use the methods of
handling it have reached such perfection
and people are so accustomed to it that
it produces no greater proportion of fires
than any other fuel 1t declares that the
recent great fire in Pttsburg was not
caused by gas, and calls attention to the
of the last half dozen years have occurred
in cities where natural gas is not used. 1t
is certainly true of Indianapolis that few
of it's fires can be charged to the use of this
fuel. Fires have been numerous here this
year, and few, if any, are known to have
been produced by gas. When they were
not of incendiary origin, as in the Waverly
block and the various stables in certain
quarters of town, electricity seems to have
been the cause. A very careless use of tele-
phone and light wires in their connection
with buildings is common, and, as these
wires be handled only by experts and
are not understood by the occupants of the
buildings, they are much more likely to be
well under control. Electricity is the ele-
ment to be guarded against in the present
stage of development

The Chicago Chronicle is a Democratic
paper but it is not with Ex-Governor Alt
geld. In a recent article it shows that in
three cases where there have been defal-
cations or malfeasance in office Altgeld is
the shadow behind the accused. 1t certain
ly has that appearance. His treasurer of
parks, of whom he borrowed money is a
defaulter; his chief grain inspector became
a defaulter, and the late State Treasurer
Ramsey, a defaulter in many hundreds of
thousands of dollars, loaned state money to
Altgeld And so the Chronicle calls the ex-
Governor "a hoodoo malignant, remorse-
less and unscrupulous.'

Some Democratic papers in Kentucky are
lamenting the election of Senator Deboe as
a great descent from the alleged high stand
ard of Democratic senators from that
State. Persons outside of Kentucky have
not been overwhelmed by contemplation of
the high standard set by it's senators. SEN
ator Carlisle was the only one of marked
ability in recent years. The Louisville Com
mercial, replying to Senator Deboes critics.
says:
The senator may not assume the airs or
the information of the humblest member of
a Democratic mutual admiration clique
but he is a gentleman of collegiate educa-
ton, a graduate of medicine and student of
law. who has maintained himself in politi-
cal campaigns against the ablest Democrat
ic speakers; has served four years in the
Legislature, is better informed than 10
Blackburn ever will be and can give some
Of his critics lessons in politics as well as
in politeness. which it would be we'll for
them to learn.

Before President Mckinley exhausts his
list Of Southern appointments he should
recognize some of the native Republicans
of the South. Thus far all the prominent
appointments made from that portion of
the country are men of Northern birth.
Hon. Powell Clayton. Minister to Mexico,
and II. Clay Evans commissioner of pen
sions. are both natives of Pennsylvania
Colonel Buck. of Georgia. who ,goes as

Protest Against Waste of Gas.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ELWOOD, Ind, May 5.-There is general
rejoicing among those who are interested
in the preservation of gas over the action
taken by Inspector Leach regarding the oil
drillers who have been wasting the gas so
recklessly, even if it is necessary to con-
vene the Legislature to pass a law that
will cover the case 1t is believed here that
unless the drilling of oil wells and the
waste of gas is prevented in some manner
that the end of the gas supply is near at
hand, and that the industries of the gas
belt will have suffered an injury from which
they cannot recover. 1t is said that the
production of oil in high pressure gas areas
is not a success. because of the tendency
of the gas to make the oil riley" and
that for this reason it is to the interests of
the oil drillers TO allow their wells to blow
off the gas so that the oil production may
not be interfered with. The manufacturing
interests in this part of the State are solidly
against the waste. The citizens of this city
realize that they do not want oil at this
time and will patiently wait until such time
as the drilling of oil wells will not destroy
the industrial interests of the city.

of 10 cents a pound on tea they can thank

were also made of clinical cases brought
in by physicians from out of the city and
these were thoroughly discussed and sug-
gestions made as to the treatment of each.

ing a case of dislocation of the elbow and

the Turks in numbers they are much bet

Mauser magazine rifle of recent pattern,
firing seven shots of small caliber and

The Greeks are equipped with old-fashioned
French single-loaders of large caliber, with
a range OF 1900 yards. The Greek soldiers
can carry but about thirty two cartridges,
while the Turkish regulars carry eighty of
the lighter projectiles. The fighting ability
of the same troops with this disparity of
arms is more than doubled by the better
guns.
