BickneII Burnt.

The town of Bicknell, Indiana
fifteen miles southwest of Washing
ton was almost completely de-
stroyed by fire June 2, 1898. The
fire started in Brockmills ware
house and soon spread to the bust
ness portion of the place. The towr
was without fire protection and a
call for help was sent to Vincennes,
but as that city has no fire engine
no aid could be sent. Nearly every
business house as well as many
residences were destroyed.

Practically all the republican
members of the senate voted against
a tax on the sugar trust and stand
ard oil monopoly.
They held the position that these
monopolies should not bear a share
of the burdens of the war.
On a matter of this kind there ca n
DE no argument. The action of the
republican side stands out as a glar-
ing condemnation of the party.
The vote throws no new light on
the republican party. 1t merely
accentuates what a distinguished
member of their party, Governor
Pingree, pointed out a long time
ago, that the republican party is an
loligarchy. Its point of view is that
of wealth.
The republican party is en-
trenched in power by the votes OF
those who suffer from their course
The oligarchy is in the minority.
The republican party could not car
ry precinct in this country if ii
were not for the votes of the com
non people, whom the party pro-
fesses to despise, and whose inter
ests they never consider.
The vote on taxing monopolies
ought to be an object lesson. II
ought to impress itself so vividly on
the minds of the voters that they
will decline to be cajoled by prom
ises that are thrown out to carry
elections. Evansville Courier.

Judge Baker Has Strong Ideas Of Proper
Discipline.
Indianapolis sentinel.

Indianapolis sentinel.
Judge Baker intimated very
strongly yesterday from the bencn
that he is down on the Indiana sys-
tenn Of reforming criminals. After
the jury that had tried Harry War
ner, Harry Church, James Down
ing and Charles Howard for break
ing into the post office at Lebanon
had returned a verdict of guilty
against all Of the men, the Rev. j.
w. Comfort, the state agent who
looks after the conduct of men pa
rolled from the reformatory, made q
plea that the Judge should not sen.
tence Warner, but return him to the
reformatory to serve out mis- sen
tence, as he thought the interests
Of the refornatory were at stake and
that general knowledge that mer
who broke faith would be retaker
would act as a great stimulus r
discipline. The Judge said that the
reformatory idea did not impress:
him strongly.
II do not believe in handling
professional criminals with kic
gloves and bathing them with Law
eIder water" he said. He also in
timated that it would be no punish
ment whatever to send Warner bacl
to the reformatory, and he retuse'
the request emphatically.

Gladstone on the United States.

Gladstone's most important utter
with reference to the United States
was made in his notable article
kin Beyond the Sea-" printed in
the North American Review in Sep
tember, 1879. In this article,
speaking of the future greatness OF
the United States, he said:
"She will probably become what
we are now, the head servant in the
great household of the world, the
employer of all employed, because
her services will be the most and
ablest. We have no more title
against her than Venice, Geroa or
Holland has had against us. One
gieat duty is entailed upon us,
which we, unfortunately, neglect
the duty of preparing, by a resolute
and sturdy effort, to reduce our
public burdens, in preparation for a
day when we shall probably have
less capacity than we have now to
Dtdi tutii- iht III
gland and the America of the pres
ent are probably the two strongest
nations in the world. But there
can hardly be a doubt, as between
the America and the England of the
future, that the daughter, at some
no very distant time, will, whether
fairer or less fair, be unquestionably
stronger than the mother"
The truth OF these words is ac
cepted now as the opinion of the
government and people of England /,
and is manifested in the expressed
desire for a closer union Of the two
nations. The end of Gladstone's
life witnesses the beginning of the
fullillment Of his prophecy uttered
twenty years ago.

schedule and authorized its publica
ton last night.
The First district will not get a
company under this call, ostensi-
bly, for the reason that it he's three
already, and must Therefore give
way to the other districts as havinl
cast less vote than the other dis
tricts in 1896. The fact remains
that strong pressure has been
brought to bear upon the governor
by the republican politicians to
leave the First district out, as Win
ston Menzies, of Mt. Vernon, who
would he entitled to the first com
pany raised in the First district, is {
democrat. Mr.. Menzies was here
