A GRAND ANNIVERSARY.

Thirty-two years ago today,
the people of the United States
struck from their Federal consti-
tuition that provision which recOg-
nized and maintained human
slavery. Lincoln had by proclaim
alton, emancipated the slaves as a
war measure, but only handful
of them were free. 1t was a ray
of sunshine over a vast glacier,
melting merely the edges. For
the war was confined to the bOrd-
er lands. The Amendment re-
moved curse which injured the
white man more than it did the
black. eff you put chain around
the neck of a slave, the other end
fastens itself around your own"
But the abolition could not be
done at once. ''The insurrectiOn
of thought proceeds to insurrec-
tiOn of arms" Abraham Lincoln
i'm 1862. said if he could pre-
serve the Union without abolish
ing slavery he would do SO.
Obedience to law was stronger
than conscience. 1t took up the
sword to maintain the COnstltu-
ton. but the sword struck
through the Constitution, and cut
off the letters of the slave. The ma
tiOn grayitated towards the right
slowly but surely. The South is
still struggling in the debris OF
the social wreck. Thirty-two years
i'm the life of a nation is only a
moment of time. For the penalty
of compromising with wrong, the
Divine Court sentenced the North
to yield up 100000 lives and pay
the largest fine, known to anthem
tic history. Already a billion OF
dollars has been paid, and each
years it now pays $15O,OOO,OOO in
discharge of the penalty.
The negro was the gamer from
the beginning, for he was brought
under some civilization. But
gradually improving in the mass,
he is still standing menance to
good government. The lesson out
of all this is written in bold char
acters across the sky above this
community. But the wheels OF
conscience, clogged with sugar,
move slowly.

THE PRESS IN AMERICA.

During the latter part of No
yember. and after the publication
of the Presidents message, the al
lusions in the American papers to
the treaty have greatly increased,
so far as we can judge from the
returns made to us. There APP
pears to be a more serious discus
sion of the subject. AS usual, the
discussions are not impartial, but
each side takes extreme views. On
the one hand, it is said that an
nexatiOn will be fearful and dan
gerOus step forward in national
policy. On the other hand, it is
most confidently stated that there
is national peril in refusing an
nexation. There is a disposition
to treat the matter from a party
stand point. Fortunately, how
ever, this disposition is not very
active. AS we said, several days
ago, there seems to be sentiment
in favor of getting the matter out
of the way, that is, of annexing
and disposing of a question that
will always be coming to the
front. But members of Congress
are not always jealous, unless
they hear the strong and clarion
voice of the people.
The situation in Washington
shows that the commercial men of
America, who WELD a vast infu-
ence, have not sufficiently warmed
up to the need of annexation, as
a business proposition. The
Statesmen, looking beyond the
present narrow sphere of Ameri-
can trade, realize the need, and,
with the Presidents influence,
mean to secure it.

THE LOCAL FACTORIES.
Inspector McAbee Has but Little
Criticism of Them

Factory Inspector McAbee has spent the
last month in making a thorough inspection
of the Indianapolis factories and the work
in this city is not yet completed While
he has found occasion to recommend
changes of a minor nature in the majority
Of the factories, he has been agreeably sur
prised to find comparatively little occasion
for criticism in the arrangements of the
is ctories for the protection of the lives and
health Of their employees. The precautions
against accidents incident to the particular
business of the factories he has found as
a general thing to be fairly complete,
though there has been considerable care
lessness among both employers and en-
ployes in the matter of fire escapes. He has
found number of factories with made
quate escapes and a number of others
where ample provision had been made in
the way of fire escapes by employers, but
employees had stacked goods or material up
In front of the windows leading to them in
such a way that thew could not have been
reached in case of fire.
While the sanitary conditions were found
to be good as q general thing, number
OF factories have been found where there
was room for improvement In no instance
has the inspector found any trouble in hav-
ing his recommendations for Improvement
carried out. He has found the indianapolis
manufacturers willing to carry out the law
in spirit as well as in letter and there has
been little or no grumbling at the expense
in taking additional precautions for the
safety of employees.
The Inspector finds comparatively few
children employed in the factories and until
the fall term of school opens he Will not
try to rgidly enforce the clauses forbidding
the employment of children under sixteen
who cannot read or write, except in Vaca-
tions. Nor will he require the discharge
of all boys under fourteen until that time.

NOT AN OPIUM JOINT.
Men Arrested Saturday Say They
Were just Having n Social Time.

The opium joint raid made Saturday night
does not promise to turn out successful in
Police Court unless better evidence than
has yet been obtained is discovered. The
raid was made upon the room occupied
by Eugene Langdon, over the stable in the
rear of 172 North Senate avenue. Langdon
is driver in the employ of Lehmans
Transfer Company and has his room in the
stable where he keeps his horses. The po-
lice received their tip concerning the place
indirectly through a girl whose lover went
there frequently. They went into the
stable and demanded admittance and We're
refused. They then climbed upon an ad-

through which they entered Langdons
room.

that there was no opium smoking in the

He says that a number of young men were
in the habit of making Langdon's room

drink beer and pass an hour or two in a
sociable way. He says the police did not

had evidently been used for smoking opium

opium such as had evidently been brushed

OBJECTED TO THE WAGON.
Patrol Called for "a CycIist Whose
Light Was Out.

A. p Craft, a jeweler at No. 27la South
Meridian street, complains bitterly of the
conduct of Patrolmen Wilson and Hulsman,
who arrested his son, Ed Craft, aged four
teen, Saturday night for riding a bicycle
without a light The boy started from his
home, No. 46S Broadway, about s O'Clock,
to come down town. Mr.. Craft says the
lamp was lighted when the boy left home
and thinks the blaze must have been extin-
guished accidentally. Young Craft was ar
rested just after he crossed Seventh street
and sent down to the station in the patrol
wagon.
Il shouldn't have cared" said the boy S
father, had the police given me a chance
to take the boy to the station myself or con-
scented to get him there without loading
him into the wagon. l implored the officers
to let me telephone to Captain Dawson and
arrange to take the boy myself. But they
insisted that he should be carted down III
the wagon like a criminal
Mr.. Craft says the police were very stub
born and unreasonable in their conduct.
He says a woman in the crowd which gath
cred about the police declared the lantern
was yet hot when the boy was arrested,
which was evidence that the light had just
gone out.

STRUCK HIS FATHER.
Isaac Fisher Hurled IL stone with Sc
riOus Result.

Isaac Fisher a sixteen-year-old colored
boy was arrested yesterday on a charge Of
assault and battery with intent to kill. He
hit his father in the head with a stone.
The trouble grew out of a dispute between
the boy and his mother. The mother took
handkerchief out of the boys pocket and
an argument followed. They struggled for
the possession of the handkerchief and at

the head with his cane, making a bad scalp
wound. The boy then ran into the yard,
picked up large stone and threw it at his
father. The stone struck the elder Fisher
in the back of the head and knocked him
down. The fight occurred at the home OF
Mr. Fisher on Sangston avenue. 1t at

with his cane stunned him that he did
not realize what he was doing when he
threw the stone.

All riders in the road race should be at

ing to receive their numbers.
A man giving the name of c. Meyers

Kerosene oil is used, and the price of the
lamp is moderate.
"Long-distance riding at a moderate or
even comparatively slow pace is one of the
best of cures for shortness of BREATH says
a physician who rides. This trouble is
usually caused by some congestion which
prevents the lungs being exercised to their
fullest capacity. Constant, steady and easy
exercise strengthens and tones up the air
cells so that the number of these available
becomes gradually increased and little by
little the Inconvenience disappears. Care
must be taken that the exercise is not of
too violent nature, or it is quite possible
more harm than good may be done.

THE ROAD RACE TO-DAY
WINNERS WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO
BEAT THE PREVIOUS RECORDS.
Fifty CracIx-a-Jacks from Outside of
Indianapolis Are Among Those En-
tered-Last Years Time.

This is the day of Indiana's great road
race. The winners of this event will have
to make records such as have never before
been made on Indiana soil, for there are
entered the best amateur riders that the
State has ever produced. To the man who
crosses the tape first there is a reward of
a high-grade WaVerley bicycle. and the man
who makes the circuit of the course in the
shortest time will find awaiting him a
Stearns wheel of the finest quality. 1t is
possible for one rider to win both the time
and the place prizes, but it rarely occurs
this way, and it would be a surprise if such
would be the case to-day That the man
who wins the time prize will have to clip
a few seconds off the record seems almost
certain with the class of riders who are to
contest. They include not only all the best
amateurs of the city, but an even fifty of
the crack-a-jacks from all parts of the
State.
AS to the first place prize. which goes
to the first man who crosses the tape, re-
CARELESS of the time, it is much of a prob
lem and largely depends upon the fairness
of the handicapping. If a man who ought
to have been placed at the scratch should
get the limit of time allowed it would not
be surprising that he should get the first
prize, while if there should be among the
scratch men riders who far outclass all the
others it may be made TO appear by the re-
suits that the advantages conceded to the
poorer riders have not been great enough.
However it goes, the race will be full of
interest, and will doubtless be witnessed by
thousands of people
This is only the second annual road race,
but a record was made year ago which
it will be hard to lower. The road was
good then, and the time winner got over
the fourteen miles in thirty-eight minutes
and thrty-hve seconds. Otis Lowe was the
lucky man. and he got a high-grade bicycle
for a prize. He had two minutes the best
of the scratch men, but he made the cir
cult in less time than the best of them.
The place prize was won by Wilbur Nc
Intosh. Last year there were thirty-nine
prizes besides one for the last man to cross
the tape within the time limit. This last
prize was parrot contributed by Carl Fish
err twas won by Ralph Miller who made the
course in forty-three minutes and five and
one-fifth seconds. When he went after the
parrot he found that it had died at about
the moment he was winning it, by choking
to death on bone.
Last year there were 119 entries and
about 100 to start. This year there are 1872
entries, and it is probable that at least $50
will start. The race is over precisely the
same course as last year, and the road is
probably in as good condition.
