Bo.ton's Debt Is Appalling.

aassn we ought, but which, though 1t were

I'D IN this country, would still be so ex-
psansive that we should insist upon oharg.
trsE its cost to posterity. We find a debt,
sGaEBlling in size, after all proper deduc-
FisEns have been made and increasing at a
Anrznsndous rate, its size and its increase

satisfactory nor hopeless, one which calls
Gar discriminating action rather than for

WAITING FOR ANOTHER
SECOND CALL FOR TROOPS REGARD
ED AS PROBABLE.
Probabilities as to the Organization
of "a New National Guard
Hospital Corps.

1t Is generally believed about the Gov
ernors office that a second call for troops
may come at any time. No official informa-
ton to that effect has come from Wash
ington, and there is nothing of direct ma
ture from other sources to lead to the belief,
but an intimation to that effect has come
from a good source, and 1t is hoped that
the State can get it's quota together quickly
if a second call comes. The intimation is
that Indiana's second quota will be three
regiments of infantry and one battery. This
will give the Dana Battery the opportunity
that was denied 1t when the first call came,
and will result in wiping out the last ves-
tige of an organized Indiana National
Guard. The infantry quota will be made
up of volunteer regiments such as that now
organized and under the command of v. M.
Backus, of this city, and1 of companies
which are forming throughout the State
No arrangement has yet been for
the formation of new Indiana nal
Guard. The Dana Battery and Gene Nc
Kee and staff are all that is left of tn. old.
This is not considered much of a nucleus
about which to organize, and it is prob
able that in case of a reorganization these
remnants shall not be considered a part of
it until they shall have gone through the
regular routine of admission. 1t is not the
desire OF Governor Mount that a new guard
be organized for the purpose of furnishing
a second quota of volunteers in case of an
other call from the government, and it is
therefore likely that no attempt to form a
new Indiana National Guard will be made
until after the second call comes, if it comes
within two months.
Camp Mount taught the authorities one
lesson which will be of value in the future
guard. 1t is the determined policy now to
insist that men making application to be-
come members of the Indiana National
Guard shall be subjected to physical ex-
animation as severe as that of the regular
army The enormous expense the State was
put to on account of the hundreds of men
who came here and were rejected by the
surgeons has demonstrated the necessity of
this practice. In case of a call which should
require the mastering into the United States
service of the future Indiana National
Guard it is proposed that the smallest pos
sible per cent. of the men shall be rejected
on account of physical deficiencies.

It's Members Anxious to BE Part of
the Expedition to Rein
force Dewey.
CAMP MOUNT IS SMALLER
THE REGIMENT WILL SOON BE
EQUIPPED FOR SERVICE.
Something of Colonel Barnett-PIenty
to Eat in Camp NOw-PIenty
of Visitors Yesterday.

After Admiral Dewey's victory at Manila
and the decision of the government to oc-
cupy it with troops Governor Mount tele-
graphed to the War Department praying
that a regiment of Indiana troops should
be sent to Manila if it could be done with
out disarranging plans already formed. He
had not telegraphed quickly enough, how
ever for the Governor of Nebraska got in
ahead Of him and a regiment of Nebraskans
was chosen to accompany the division. 1t is
understood now that instead of, as was
previously planned sending about 10000
troops to the Philippines under command of
General Merritt at least 5000 more will be
sent.
Following this information there came to
friends of Russell Harrison in the One-hun-
dred-and-fifty-ninth Regiment at Camp
Mount yesterday a telegram from him stat
ing that the regiment might be given its
choice between going to Manila and being
detailed for coast defense duty at Seattle
He asked that they reply and state which
service they would prefer. Major Standard
teegraphed to him that the regiment
wanted to go to Manila by all means and
asked him to use his influence to have it
sent there.
In the light of this telegram it is believed
that Indiana may still have representation
on the field of Deweys brilliant victory,
and when the news became general in the
camp the boys grew enthusiastic over the
prospect of such distinguished service and
ceased to moan about their misfortune IN
being left behind when the other regiments
went to Chickamauga.

ag1tating the funeral directors more than
any other-that of licensing embalmers and
extending the rights of the shipment and
handling of bodies resulting from death
from certain infectious and contagious dis
eases The proposition came from the state
Board of Health and ii Is understood that
Secretary Hurry of the board is heartily in
lavor OF the movement.
Under the laws of Indiana, as they now
stand, there can be no public funeral or the
shipment of body in cases OF death by
cholera, smallpox, yellow fever, the bubonic
plague. scarlet fever, anthrax and puer-
pural fever and some other diseases. and
only under certain conditions when death
results from typhoid fever or tuberculosis.
1t is claimed that the handling of bodies
by embalming and disinfection is now an
exact science and that the bodies of per-
sons dying from some of the above diseases
can and are so treated as TO be rendered
perfectly harmless so that they may be ex-
with impunity. The proposition is that there
be formed a board of examiners, similar to
that which grants licenses to physicians,
and that it examine and license embalmers,
and that licensed embalmers be permitted
to conduct public. funerals In some cases
now prohibited by law and to ship bodies.
1t is not yet within the realm of the pos
sible that bodies where death occurred from
either of the first four diseases mentioned
1t is hoped the law VIII allow to be handled
publicly by licensed embalmers. 1t is not be-
lieved now that the time will ever come
when such bodies can be treated in such a
way as to render them harmless. And the
State Association of Funeral Directors is
not asking for permission to experiment in
that direction But it asks that it be per-
mitted to carry on it's business to the full
extent of safety along lines already trav-
eled and understood. 1t is claimed that bod
les where death resulted from scarlet fever,
diphtheria. puerperal fever. typhoid fever
or tuberculosis can be treated so that there
is not the slightest danger of the spread of
the disease. All the germs in the body and
in the entire house where it became corpse
are destroyed and the body is less harmful
than that of a person who died from acct
dent, which was not subjected to the treat
ment.
The State Funeral Directors Association
will probably appoint a committee to draft
bill to be presented to the next General
Assembly which, it is said will have the
support of the State Board of Health.
Governor Mount will address the associa-
ton to-day. j. H. Sharer. of Alliance, O.,
president of the National Funeral Direc-
tors Association. will also be here to-day
and deliver an address. Lectures will be de-
livered by DR.. Hurry. secretary of the State
Board of Health, and Professor Hohen-
schulz. The latter will close each session
with a lecture. The election of officers and
delegates to the national convention will oc-
cur Thursday morning.

nal plan. The spectacle Of this once power-
full government torn by internal dissensions
and struggling fer existence excites pity
rather than qualification. although it is
technically classed as an enemy 1t would,
perhaps afford some satisfaction to Queen
Christina if she could know how much
sympathy is felt for her in this country in
her capacity of a mother trying to protect
the inheritance of an only and beloved son.
The fact that he is likely to be saved from
a stormy life if his kingdom shall be taken
from him while he is too young to defend
it does not alter the pathos of her efforts in
his behalf. Toward the little King himself
all the world feels kindly. The people of the
United States will not be deferred by their
sympathy from depriving his youthful Ma
jesty of a portion of his hereditary possess
sioas, but in doing this as a matter of duty
to oppressed Cubans they will spare a
friendly and regretful thought, not only for
the royal mother and son, but for the entire
people who are suffering from the blunder-
ing and benighted policy of long line of
rulers.

General Wesley Merritt was quoted in yes
terday's dispatches as saying in an inter
view that he did not propose to go to the
Philippines without at least five regiments
of regular troops. This savored Of insubor-
dination and did not sound like the utter
ance Of disciplined army man, but. unlike
so many alleged interviews, it had an air
of probability in that it seemed a common
sense opinion. The troops that will go to
the Philippines will see immediate action
and to a civilian it appears desirable that
a large part of the force sent should be reg
ulars. However, it turns out that General
Merritt did not make the remarks ascribed
to him, and therefore any discussion of his
supposed views is out of place. The number
of men needed depends upon the number
and the fighting qualities of the Spaniards
stationed there, and upon various conditions
with which the authorities at Washington
are presumably familiar. Inasmuch as civil
ians in general are not fully acquainted
with them, 1t is as well for them to refrain
from criticism. On the contrary, it is proper
to assume that since General Merritt and
General Otis are going in command of the
men that the California, City of Picking and
the City of Sydney can carry, the force,
whether regulars or volunteers, will be suffi-
cient fo- immediate purposes.

ton of points on their respective seacoasts
exposed to attacks from British cruisers.
Washington, in a letter dated July 81. 17T5
answered these appeals with a refusal. He
pointed out the danger of scattering the
army in detachments. said the matter had
been debated in Congress and that they had
come to the wise conclusion that each coll
ony should defend itself from small and To-
cal attacks. 1t was then established as
rule that attacks of the enemy at isolated
points along the coast must be repealed
by the militia in the vicinity" except when
the continental army was in condition to
make detachments without in the least de-
gree jeopardizing the common cause. That
is good precedent for present action.

NOT A WAR OF RACES.

Perhaps there was never war which in
volved so little personal bitterness of feel
ing. The anxiety of Americans to set Cuba
free from Spanish domination does not mean
any animosity toward Spaniards as individ-
uals with the exception, probably of Wey-
Ter and the men responsible for the blowing
up of the Maine. There is no race antipathy
OH the part of Americans. for though there
may be no especial liking for this branch
of the Latin people. the general attitude
toward them has been friendly. Even at
this time the general sentiment is, to a GER
tain extent. amicable There is no dispose
ton to destroy Spain, even If 1t were possi-
BILE to do so. If the destruction comes in the
process OF freeing Cuba it will be an I'M
avoidable result and not part Of the orlgi-

OUR FINANCIAL TRAITORS.

Every war in which this country has been
engaged has developed a new phase of
treason. There were Tories in the revolution
airy war, apologists for British aggression
in the war of 1912. strong anti-war party
in the Mexican war and rebel sympathizers
in the civil war. In the present war hostil-
ity to the government has taken the form
Of an attack on it's financial resources. 1t
is not surprising that there should be OPP
has been declared or the first gun fired
there should be but one sentiment, and
that of loyal and uRgrudging support Of
the war policy in every possible way. He
who after war is begun attempts to tie
the hands, weaken the credit or impair the
financial resources of the government is as
much traitor as if he should send plans
the Spanish fleet into New York harbor. The
irreconcilables in Congress who have de-
clared their intention to oppose the issue
Of bonds for the purpose of raising money
to prosecute the war, and to favor an issue
of greenbacks and the coming of the silver
seigniorage would probably object to being
called traitors, but If that term applies to
all who would hinder and embarrass the
government in the prosecution of the war
1t belongs to them. If the necessities of the
government could be fully and promptly
met by taxation that would be the best
way, but as that is impossible the next
best thing is an issue of bonds. In oppos-
ing this the financial enemies of the gov
eminent are opposing fiscal method APP
proved and practiced by all civilized nations,
and in favoring an issue Of greenbacks and
the coinage of the silver seigniorage they
are favoring methods shown by experience
to be injurious to the national credit, full
of danger and hurtful to every public in
terest. OF all the bad sequences of the civil
war none was worse than an inflated, ir-
redeemable paper currency. From the close
of the war. and especially from 1876 to 1879,
the country struggled to reach specie pay
ments. After long effort and great anxiety
and loss the end was finally obtained. To
leave the solid ground we now occupy and
go back to that swamp again would be
worse than idiotic. The country has no worse
enemies than those who propose it. The
money for the immediate necessities of the
government should be raised by an issue of
bonds, which should be made payable in
coin, equal in value to the best money in
the markets of the world. The treasona BILE
attitude of the irreconcilables is doubly Of
fensive by the fact that the local interests
of two or three rotten borough silver States
like Nevada are dragged into rational poll
ties for the purpose of handicapping the
government in financing the war; A State
which does not cast as many votes as two
wards in Indianapolis attempts to dictate
the financial policy of the government in
time of war with ultimatum which vir-
tually says, you shall fight the Spaniards
with an inflated and debased currency, or
not at all. The men who have taken this
stand should be Kissed into oblivion.

FND THE SOLDIERS.
Mrs. AuEU At Kuhn Robbed Her Party
Of q Good Dinner.

OF GOOD Dinner.
While the One-hundred-a -fifty-eighth
Regiment, tie old Second was waiting for
u sufficient number of coaches to carry it
away from the place where the parade
stopped North street and the Big Four
tracks, Monday night, great number of the
boys were standing as far east in North
street as Capitol avenue, on the corner of
which is the residence of August Kuhn.
Some of the soldiers went into the yard,
which is open to the street. for drinking
water Mrs. Kuhn had set a pan of rolls
to cool. on the back porch, preparatory to
entertaining some friends in the evening.
She came 10 the back door and saw the
soldiers, and anticipating that they had had
no supper, she distributed the rolls among
them.
Instead of seeing them eaten, she saw
them disappear down the boys threats in
magical way, which showed her that they
were raVenouSly hungry This further
aroused her pity, and she generously went
into the house and returned with whole
boiled ham. 1t had no sooner left htr hands
than 1t was divided and disappear ed in
Hash. Again she went to her pantry and
brought out long string of some kind of
WurSt, with which she fed the boys.
Though their thanks were profuse, they
still looked at her with hungry eyes, and
her resources being exhausted, she sent to
her sisters home and cleaned out her
larder for the sake of the boys. The corner
grocery was next levied on, and about all
the storekeeper had In the way of food
that could be eaten without being cooked
went down the threats of the hungry SOL
dierS. Several hundred of the boys were
fed during this distribution, and they left
the Kuhn home with the deepest apprecia-
ton of Mrs. Kuhns kindness and patriot
ism.
