This is the talk of plain, honest man,

that their only salvation lay in the estab-

The political opponents of Colonel Harry
b. Smith, knowing that he has been con-
fined to his bed with typhoid fever con-
tracted while caring VI his men, made his
temporary helplessness the occasion for a
series of attacks upon his official character
Under the conditions those attacks were and
are brutal. He is now able to talk with
friends, but is confined to his house.
Colonel Smith has lived in Indianapolis all
his life, and has won the reputation of being
an able. honorable and clear-headed man.
To-day all that is required to clear him of
the charges which the Taggart-Johnson
clique have caused to be made is truthful
explanation. 1t be shown that the law
gives him all the money he has received
from the county. He has been one of the
few auditors who know the county's affairs
from beginning to end. Until he went out
with the One-hundred- -fifty-eighth Regi-
ment he had been absent from his office
one week to attend a military encampment
and three days otherwise. He worked in
cessantly. He was county auditor in fact.
Even the News confessed az one time that
he was competent official. Every record
which are lin use.' as were records which
the Journal asked to see four years ago.
Everybody see them, and anyone can
have an explanation of every item. Some
trivial matters which would have been at
tended to if he had been at home all the
time may need attention and will have it as
soon as his physician permits him to leave
his house.
Complaint is made by q few that he held
his place and drew two salaries while in the
army. He put man in his place in the
auditors Office and its work has been kept
up. His pay in the army has no more than
paid his expenses and the cost of his out
fit. He would have gone with his regiment
had he lost dozen auditorships. 1t was
to him call of duty to go at the head of
with which he had been connected for years.
He so well performed his arduous duties as
colonel that the regiment returned with less
loss than any other in the division. Be-
cause he was a manly, kindly and COM
petent officer he enjoys the confidence and
the affections of every decent man in the
regiment.
The Journal knows the inspiration of these
attacks upon a man in sick bed. The
books are now open. From them it proposes
to give facts which will show the sort of
management that prevailed in the auditors
office while Mr.. Johnson was running it in
the interest of Thomas Taggart.

2 The Man Who Obeyed and the Result
 of Obedience Discussed in Revival
 Meeting.
 Through the desire and consent of Superintendent c. M. Chapman one of the many earnest workers who are do- ing so much to help along the revival work at the Howard avenue Baptist church the Sunday school service Sun day was turned into revival meeting with blessed results. The services of the day were all on revival lines and the pastor, D. w. Stoddard, did excel lent work and preached two very earn est sermons.
 Last night the meeting entered upon their third week. So great has become the interest the people would not hear to their being discontinued at the end of the allotted two weeks. Last night Mir Spear spoke on "Naaman the Lep- CT, and How He Was Cured of Lepro- sy by obeying the commandment to dip seven times in the river Jordan.
 The discourse illustrated the leprosy of sin and showed the cleansing power of Christ to heal even the most hope less case of moral leprosy. There was a good audience for Monday night and great interest. Rev. D. w. Stoddard led a testimony meeting that was rich in hopeful promise.
 The meetings will continue nightly the rest of the week.

A CURIOUS LEGAL DECISION.

A CURIOUS LEGAL DECISION.
 The following anecdote is sent by a Kentucky correspondent, who says 1t is the exact truth, and has never been pub1ished:
 "A young man who had not found 1t convenient to pay tailor's bill was brought up on a creditors bill by the cruel tailor before very kind-hearted vice. chancellor, who liked the youth. He was handsomely dressed and wore a costly diamond stud in his shirt bosom, but declared under oath that he had no property, except his wearing apparel. The tailor's lawyer claimed that diamond stud was not an article
 of exempt apparel and asked for it's
 surrender, but the judge ruled that the
 diamond button held the parts of the
 shirt together and it's removel would lead to indecent exposure of the person.
 Then the lawyer urged that the shirt
 was of new kind which buttoned in | the back, but the judge met this by saying: The presumption of the law is that shirts button in front, and the court does not judicially know that shirts ever button in the back. The court will not require the defendant l to submit to an examination to
 rebut the assumption And so the diamond remained In the bosom which l cherished it."-Case and Comment.

NEW HAyEN,s CIVIL sERyIcE


 The new civil service rules of this city have had their first test in con- nection with the appointment of spe- cial constables. Under the old charter these officers were appointed with no practical test of efficiency or character by the common council of the city. There were 11s applicants in 1897, of whom 9S were appointed. Under the new charter the board of police com missioners makes the appointments af-
 ter application made to the civil ser vice commission and their endorsement of the applicant. The commission com
 pels the applicant to fill a blank, giv-
 ing name, birth, residence, weight,
 height, occupation, stating whether the
 applicant has been convicted of crime,
 whether to what extent he uses intoxi-
 eating liquors, and other matters of personal record. He must also present three vouchers of the same number of New Haven householders testifying to fitness. An additional voucher in the case of an employer of the applicant must state that his appointment as constable is necessary to enable him to discharge properly the duties of his po- sition.
 Up to last Saturday, under the new
 tests only sixty-four persons had ap- | piled for the place, as compared with the 118 applications last year, indicat- ing the effectiveness of the new rules simple as they are. In only one case thus far has reason appeared for re- 1 jecting an applicant. So far as the board are aware, New Haven is the only city under civil service rules where the special constables come un- l der their provisions.

HEUBLEIN'S IMPROVEMENTS.
Newspaper Men Shown About the
 Place and Banquetted Saturday


 Newspaper Men shown About the Place and Banquetted Saturday Night. N J. W. Niederpruen, the new manager of Heublein's cafe, who has already become very popular in New Haven, Saturday evening showed to a party of newspaper men the extensive inn provements and remodelling which have just been completed at the cafe, and afterward entertained them at a sumptuous spread. The improvements are of noteworthy character and are the product of weeks of work by the most skilled workmen. They include complete renovation, artistic carvings and beautiful frescoes, and were com pleted at a cost of several thousand dollars.
 The newspaper men were banquetted in the small dining room on the second floor after they had been shown about the establishment. The menu was a triumph of the cuisine and was pre- pared by John Weisberger, who is con- sidered to be one of the best chefs in New England.

PRIVILEGE OF PATRIOTISM.
Eloquent Address by Rev. Addison
 Moore.

Eloquent Address by Rev. Addison
 Moore.
 At the First Baptist church Sunday evening the pastor, Rev. Addison Moore, spoke on "The Privilege of Patriotism" his text being found in Luke vii, 4. He said in part. The value of the celebration of Washing tons birthday consists in the fact that it proclaims it an ideal Americanism and declares that life and progress are not mechanical but inspirational. Washington is an incarnation of ideal Americanism. God ordered that the purest patriotism should be found in Washington, master for scholars, an ideal citizen for all true patriotism to initiate, an ideal measure by which each youth can test his manhood.
 Washington's life is an incentive to patriotism? A generation has grown up in our country in the midst of peace and patriotism languishes during such periods. We are prone to take our full American institutions for granted, the same as we do the law of gravitation and light and air. In such an age as ours this holiday is sacred to the spirit of patriotism. It comes as a rebuke to the sordedness and teaches sympathy not selfishness by Hitting before us the memory of Washington. His life pro- claims the privilege of patriotism. Some seem to-day to deny the value of patriotism and to believe that it is a kind of selfishness and declares that we should be cosmopolite. But the cos- mopolite is like comet; at home, ev- everywhere of no use anywhere In our land where gates are ever open to irn- migrants it has come to pass that many elements foreign to our nation al life must be dealth with; that they may become assimilated in the body polite. English, Irish, Spanish, French, German, Danish, Italians, Dutch and those of many other nationalities have to be amalgamated. Although we have received 6000,000 emigrants in the last ten years, we do not wish to pro- hibit immigration, but our laws should be so constantly revised that we may wisely choose that whom we will re- ceive. We will welcome all the oppres- sed of all nations, all who can increase the strength of our government and the strength of our resources and we will I freely grant to all who come to our l country equal rights and privileges un- der our government, but we will wei come no others. Such hyphenated Americanism as flaunts it's name in our country as Irish-American, Ger American and the like are to be appreciated. There is room in the country for only one flag, and old glory must head the procession or it cannot march.
 Despite all the disturbing conditions which may exist we can take comfort in that the American constitution and 1 the sermon on the mount are adequate to secure for all equal rights and privi- leges. We are Americans, and the faith and patriotism of Washington should be ours, and we are also Chris tians, and the justice and truth o1 Christ should also be ours We art also children of the prophets of relig- ion and liberty; let us, like them, have I faith in ourselves: faith in our free institutions. and faith in God.
