A GRAVE RESPONSIBILITY.

The uncertainty regarding the ratifica-
ton Of the treaty with Spain is due TO the
determination of Senator German to show
that he is more potential with Democratic
senators than is Colonel Bryan. The latter
went to Washington TO advise Democratic
senators to vote to ratify the treaty. Sen
ator German resented this assumption of
leadership, and became the advocate of a
proposition to amend the treaty by insert
ing a declaration to the effect that the
United States does not intend to annex the
Philippines Mr. German has twenty-seven
Democratic senators VINO are pledged to his
proposition, while but six, and possibly but
two, will follow the advice of Colonel
Bryan. This is a great personal victory for
Senator German over Colonel Bryan, but
it is very costly one for the United
ing the possible rejection of the treaty is
very embarrassing to our authorities in
Manila.
At the present time the situation in Man
lila causes much anxiety in Washington.
The Filipinos could be easily treated with
but for the outside hostile influences 1t is
the threatened defeat of the treaty which
has emboldened Aguinaldo's representative
in Washington to send to the State Depart
ment demand 10 be informed why the
United States is sending reinforcements to
Manila and whether military operations are
TO be directed against 1.-The existing govern
ment of the Philippines" That person
would NOT have thOupht of that ir,nertin
ence had not some astute opponents of the
treaty put him up to it, Not only is
there reason to suspect that Aguinaldo is
receiving encouragement from Europe but
that American citizens are secretly advis-
ing Aguinaldo's agents in Washington.
Therefore, should there be collision and
blOodshed these Americans, with Senator
German and his combination, will be re-
sponsible for it. In a recent dispatch Adj
miral Dewey declared that Aguinado is
fast losing strength with the natives and
could be disposed of as a disturbing factor
up with false hopes that Congress will re-
fuse to ratify the treaty and that in some
way he will personally profit by the stand
he has taken for independent recognition"
The admiral thus indirectly charges upon
Senator German, few Republican senators
and the few private citizens who are fight
ing the ratification of the treaty the dis
turbed and threaten situation in Manila.
1t may be that they will see that the re-
sponsibility is greater than they will care
to bear.

MAYOR TAGGART'S RETURN.
He Reached Home Yesterday Evening
from the south.

Mayor Taggart is home. He arrived from
Louisville at $50 o'clock yesterday evening.
He is as well as could be hoped for after
the trying circumstances of the last two
weeks There was little to be added to what
has already been said concerning the search
for the missing launch Paul Jones and her
passengers, among whom was the mayors
daughter Miss Florence Taggart. The
search still continues. Everything possible
is being done to locate the hull Of the little
craft Although portions of the cabin, doors,
window sash and other parts of it were
found, the mayor said that no trace Of the
hull could be found. and this led to the
belief that it had either sunk with the pas
sengers, or had drifted out into the gulf,
where the passengers might have been
picked up by some outgoing vessel that
would not be heard from for weeks. 1t is a
most unusual thing, he was informed, for a
vessel to sink in the channel between the
main land and the islands without some
thing more definite being discovered. All of
the crew were sailors of experience. and it
seemed impossible to old sailors on the gulf
coast that something had not been seen Of
them if the vessel was wrecked in those
waters, as they could al swim. OF course,
if the hull was simply damaged and fiOated
out to the deep waters of the gulf they
would not abandon it, because the boats
We're found damaged.
The mayor speaks gratefully of the kind
ness that was everywhere shown the
searching party A large number of craft
worked night and day to bring some news
to the anxious SearcherS. Mayor Taggart
went first to Mobile, and from there the
search continued down to Biloxi and after
ward to Bird island and intermediate points
between the outer islands and the main
land. Mr.. Jones of Louisville and Messrs
Pattison and Bruenig, of this city who
went South and Joined in the search, re-
turned with MI Taggart.
AT the headquarters of the fire depart
ment a meeting, called by Chief Barrett,
was held yesterday and resolutions of sym
adopted and a committee appointed to pre-
sent them, consisting of Assistant Chief
Ernst, Captains Kile, Wesby and Petty and
Patrick Ryan. Indianapolis Lodge of Eks
has also passed resolutions of sympathy.

THE STOCK MARKET.

A New York exchange attributes the UNI
precedented trading in the stock market
TO the improved conditions which have
caused an advance in the value of most
stocks and to the wedding out of many
valueless securities in connection with the
abundance of money, which can &c OBJ
tanned at low rates of discount. There is
doubtless much in this explanation. Rail
road properties have increased in value be-
cause of their greater earning capacity
since 1896. The sale which the administra-
ton made of two of its Pacific railroad
properties proves a decided appreciation
during the past two years The fact that
the railroads of the country reporting to the
Interstate-cOmmerce Commission showed q
net profit of about $25,OCO,OG0 during the
year 1897, when there was deficit of over
million the previous year. further indicates
a general appreciation. Nevertheless, the
accounts of the transactions in Wall street
show that much of the trading is in stocks
which are not paying dividends, and that
the fluctuations are due mainly to specula-
tive manipulations. The New York Trib-
his broker to purchase 200 shares of the
Canada Southern at the market rate. He
did so, the price being 66. In few minutes
the ticker showed an advance to 20 and the
purchaser ordered his broker to sell, but
directly the stock took a plunge, and when
the order was executed, fifteen minutes
later the price was 81. On the same day
a customer was carrying 1900 shares
of Panhandle When the price was 692i he
directed his agent to sell at the ruling price,
but before he could make the sale the price
had jumped to so.
Stocks such as mentioned have not
been paying dividends, and it is matter
of uncertainty when they will; consequently
those buying them are not purchasing for
investment but to make what they can out
of a fictitious fluctuation of the market.
Those who have the money and are adopts
in the art of manipulation will make
great deal of money in the end. They I'M
derstand when to be bulls, when to be bears
and how to be both. A few of those who
speculate may be successful for time, but
the majority will contribute their small
stock of money to the fortunes of those who
know the business and are usually able to
put a nondvidend stock up or down as their
interests require.

In MEMORY OF WAR HEROES
Services Held Last Night at the Mar
ket-Street Temple.

The Jewish Synagogue, on East Market
street. was we'll filled last night for the
services in memory of the soldiers and sail
ors who lost their lives in the late war
with Spain through all the VARIOUS causes.
The services were held in response to an
invitation by special subcommittee of the
national monument committee having IN
charge the erection Of the national monu-
ment to the slain in both army and navy
in the late war This special subcommittee,
which made the request that the church OBJ
serve Soldiers Memorial day." includes
Gen. Nelson A. Miles RearaAdmiral Thomas
Q. Selfndge (retired). Frederick D. Grant,
Chauncey NJ. Depew, Julius Freiberg, Isaac
M. Wise and Joseph Silverman. This re-
quest was promptly and willingly complied
with, and Jan. p CAST night was set aside
in the Hebrew churches as the time for these
services.
The memorial service displaced the usual
Friday evening service. The memorial pro-
gramme included THE reading of the resolu-
tons adopted by the Union of American He
brew Congregations, in convention at Rich
mond, Va, on Dec. 6, asking the churches
to hold the patriotic services a number of
fine musical selections and address by
Rev. DR.. Messing. Rabbi Messing's talk was
a brief one, earnest and patriotic. Foot
prints Oh the SANDS OF lime was the SUD-
ject of his discourse. He declared that the
man who leaves footprints which attract the
attention of other generations is not only the
one who is heralded by the world for a
wondrous deed. but the lowly man whose
influence is surely, though temporarily and
but slightly felt, leaves a mark that cannot
be erased In this respect. he said the ST.
lent heroes of the war whose names have
not been individually heralded have left
their mark. He traced the history of the
war and Of the ensting and death of the
5000 who died from wounds or disease. Their
names. he said, are permanently chiseled in
the memory of the Nation, and their exam
pies of sacrifice and patriotism should be
instiled in the rising generations.
The music of the services was rendered
by S. Morris Meek John Lpman. Miss Lulu
A. Fisher and Mrs. Walter Fugate. The
selections given included the following:

The legislative correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, in writing of the prospect
of the bills for the better government of
counties and townships, says:
1t is expected that they will pass the
Senate with little or no opposition, but a
fight is anticipated in the House. because
the township bill closes all avenues to the
treasury, and great number of people
benefited by the loose methods of transact
ing township business are always bringing
influences to bear on the representatives to
compel them to vote against it.
Why it should be thought the members of
the House should be more open to the in
huence of the few persons who desire to
profit by loose methods with the peoples
affairs and money than members of the
Senate is one of the things which
cannot be understood and the Jour
nal does not believe this is the case. Pub
lie sentiment is decidedly in favor of the
reform bills, as they are called. Indeed,
the protest which has inspired the move
ment to sectpe better methods has its ORR
Gin largely with the taxpayers in town
ships, as hundreds of letters to committees
win show. In every township there are
ten taxpayers who will be injured by unwise
expenditure where one will profit by it.

ate Committee on Agriculture.
The Senate committee on agriculture, con-
trary to expectation, will report favorably
on Senator StlwelTs bill to tax the theaters
of Indianapolis $40 for each performance
given. 1t is one of the strangest bills ever
offered in a General Assembly, and is as
follows: "A bill for an act taxing managers
of theaters and providing for the distribu-
ton of funds arising therefrom and for the
aid and encourag cement of agricultural So
cieties Section 1. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of Indiana,
that in all cities having a population of
county treasurer for license to exhibit any
theatrical performance the sum of $40 for
each performance. Section 2 1t is hereby
made the duty of the sheriffS of the coun-
ties in which such cities are located, to col
lect said sums and pay the same into the
county treasury, and for any failure on the
part of such sheriff to collect said sums,
he shall be liable on his official bond to the
State of Indiana in the sum of $40 for each
failure to do so. Section 8. The money
arising from the exhibitions mentioned in
the foregoing sections shall be paid over
by the sheriff to the county treasurers, in
which such collections are made, and by
such county treasurers to the State Board
of Agriculture, to be by them distributed
among the county agricultural societies, in
proportion to the population of the various
counties of the State. Section 4. Whereas,
an emergency exists for the immediate ia k
ing effect of this act, the same shall be in
force from and after its passage.

It is stated on good authority that the
President desires the country to understand
that the ratification of the peace treaty does
not commit the United States to a colonial
policy for the Philippines, but that he fears
af such a declaration should be made in
connection with the ratification of the
treaty the Filipinos would misinterpret it.
1t is probable, however, that some formal
declaration may be made before ratification
of the treaty to the effect that ratification
does not involve a colonial policy. If such
a declaration should be made, Senators
Hale. Hoar and others would probably vote
for the treaty

A bill is pending in the Pennsylvania Legs
islature which will reduce the legal rate of

kind is probably necessary to apply to mat

able to prevent men from making a rate
to suit themselves. The general price of
money would be as difficult to fix by law
as the price of wheat.

The preliminary report of the director of

This is $62000,O0O in excess of 1897. The
