but the friends OF Miss Yenne finally landed
her by handsome plurality over her lead
ing opponent. The Palladium, the college
paper, carried on the contest, and in or
der to facilitate the voting printed the
coupons separate from the paper. Over 49,
600 votes were cast, each costing 2l2 cents
and netting to the Palladium a profit of
$3.50. The principal prize. aside from the
bare honor of winning, was. a banquet at
the Denison, at which the successful COM

Paul Potter was interviewed on his ar

the question whether he took "The Con-

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1898-01-22

Sardou never produced a drama that was
not traced by wiseacres to other sources.
The fact is. only thirty-six dramatic situa-
lions exist All playwrights must use these,
with Slight variations.
"Sardou wrote La Haine' many years
ago, and every situation had been used be-
fore him. In that play the central idea was
Ghibe1ne woman, wronged by a Guelph
artisan. She stabs. then pities. then loves
him. The central idea in The Conauerors
is that a French aristocratic girl thinks
herself wronged by a Prussian officer, while
the audience recognizes his entire inno-
cence. Hence, the scenes which spring from
this central idea have only a superficial
resemblance to the scenes springing from
Sardou's central figure idea. Giving the
same point of departure to ten playwrights,
the results will be much alike. Pinero and
Lindau, having the same point of departure,
produced The Second Mrs. Tanqueray' and
Shadows on almost exactly the same lines
Yet neither borrowed from the other.
iSardou's play La Haine' was not rel
ished because the heroine was really
wronged The Conquerors succeeds be-
cause the audience knows the heroine is Ia
boring under a delusion. In Sardou'S play
the hero and heroine die together; in mine
they are happily united. | claim that no
fair mind can compare both plays and find
anything but the resemblance, without
which no drama whatever can be written"

That one little spot on the map of
the United States where there is de-
preston in one industry-by this is
meant New England and the cotton
industry-is the centre of much at
tention on the part of the silver
shriekers, and Chief shrieker Bryan
proposes to emphasize this condition
by visit to the cotton manufactur
ing industries of that section. 1t is
not learned, however, that Mr.. Bryan
has any expectation of visiting the

being run overtime and are declaring
large dividends with great regularity,

The CitNS Finances.

If there were no other reason why
the republican ticket should be re-
elected this spring, sufficient one is
the fact that, under unusually hard
conditions, the present administra-
ton has handled the city finances
with consummate ability.
The bonded debt of the city is
SIS, 300, all now bearing interest at 1
per cent, SIS 200 having been re-
funded this year and the rate reduced
from per cent. The temporary loans
a year ago. including 1900 of out
standing orders, amounted to $4,000;
the assets. consisting wholly of I'M
paid taxes, amounted to So. 900. The
total debt. therefore, was 500, 900,
During the year Just passed, with
appropriations of 81, 900, or more
than 5000 less than the previous
year, the present administration has
succeeded in closing Its year with an
increase in the temporary loan ae-
count of only about $1,000.
The new bridge alone. contracted
for last year, but paid for this year, will
account for the increase. But in ad-
dition 10 tai, expense, other perma-
nent improvements have been made
in the shape Of new streets. new side
walks and new sewers; $500 has been
spent on the engine house; new
~ Il
large proportion of the amount due
school-teachers, amounting to some
$1,000, and usually not paid until after
the March meeting, has been paid.
Not in recent years have so many
and such desirable public improve
ments been made in single year; not
for many 4 year are the tax payers
able to see so much for their money.
The policy thus begun ought not to be
ieopardized by the turning out of a
board whose faces are towards the
rising and not the setting sun, and the
turning in of board likely to curb
the wheels of progress even if they do
not set them to turning backward.
1t is true that taxes are high, but
that is not the fault Of this board; it is
greatly to It's credit that in spite of
the high tax rate, it has been able to
make so excellent a showing at 50
slight an increase in the city debt.

had disappeared down the capacious
throat where the greenbackers had
gone before them. And by this time
they are so well digested and
assimilated that it is hard to tell
democrat from populist. In Ellis
worth, at least, it is fair to assume
that the so-called democratic party
is more than half populist, since for
the past few years more populist
than democratic votes have been
thrown. The better element of
the democratic party, which in 1896
came over to the republican ranks,
still holds allegiance to the republican
party.

The present administration took
the reins of city government last
spring under circumstances most un-
favorable for record making. Ham
pered by debts and legal compliea-
tions inherited from the popuIist adj
ministration, it has nevertheless
given the city the best administration
in its recent history. While meeting
the unusual burden unloaded upon il.
the administration has given the tax
payers permanent improvements to
show for their money. The system OF
improvements inaugurated should be
carried forward to completion. The
republican party, by nominating
the mayor and three of the present
aldermen, has given the voters of
Ellsworth an opportunity to voice
their appreciation of service rem
dered and their endorsement of pub
lie improvements.

The Lesson of Foxcroft

In view of the decision of the SUI
preme court just announced in the
FoXcroft town note cases, referred to
in our news columns. every officer
and agent of town or city should be
vigorously and mercilessly overhauled
once year or oftener. By reason of
the carelessness and silly confidence
of the taxpayers of Foxcroft in their
town treasurer, they may now have
to pay upwards of s150,000 stolen by
him.
For this these people have only
themselves to blame; they kept him
continually in that office for nearly
thirty years, and never questioned his
reports and statements upon town
finances; they gave him full swing,
authorized him to borrow money and
give town notes at his own disere-
ton.
No town officer is too good to be
vigorously questioned and made fully
to show and verify every detail of
his administration. The taxpayers,
for their own protection, should see
this done.
In the Foxcroft case the auditing
officers seem to have been especially
in fault Apparently they did not go
at all below the surface of the treas
urer's statements. Legislation should
be made to fix a pecuniarv response
bility on auditing officers who ig-
norantly suffer such stealings TO go
on 1t would be we'll also to provide
that no person having to do with
municipal finances shall hold the
Office for more than one or two con-
secutive years.
Almost any town may wake up some
morning and find itself in Foxcroft's
situation-an empty treasury, big
debt hitherto unknown, a treasurer
dead or fled. Eternal vigilance is the
price of security. as we'll as of liberty.
At the spring town and city meetings
especial pains should now be taken
to 80 to the Bottom of every munich
pal transaction of the past Year.

Whereas, The said commission
has selected the 10Th day of Octo-

day aboYe named in all the schools
in our state, both public aud pri-

Abuse OF the PardOning Power.

1t cannot be denied by any one at
all familiar with our conditions of
life in America, that one of the
chief factors which have contribut-
ed toward the increase OF homicide
has been the pardoning power
lodged in the highest officials of our
state and municipal governments.
We feel quite sure that a close
inquiry would reveal the fact the
hope of pardon after conviction in
the courts of law has been dis
tiuctly present in the minds OF
many criminals, as likely to secure
immunity from punishment. So
long as it is possible for a con-
victed criminal, on whose behalf
every artlfce of legal delay and
trickery has been exhausted in vain
to secure a pardon from a corrupt
governor by bribery or by some
powerful political influence, or to
win one from a soft-hearted Cover
nor by the persistent pleading of
friends and family, Just so long and
so far will the might and majesty
of the law be unrecoguized by the
lower elements of society and a
visible loop-hole left open for
the escape of the criminal from
justice.
A cursory reading of our news
papers and slight examination of
our criminal records will make it
abundantly evident that here lies
one of the chief hopes and consola-
tions of our criminal record, North
American Review.
