The Carpet-Bagger.

Many plays have been made from novels;
this novel is made from a play. 1t was
originally written as a four-act comedy and
was performed with considerable success:
1.-The CARPET Bagger" is the joint work or
Opie Read and Frank Pixley. IL is story
of Southern life, and, might be inferred
from the title, is laid in the stormy, transit
tional period Immediately following the
close of the civil war, when Northern peo-
pie going TO or settling in the South were
styled ''carpet-baggers" The pictures or
Southern life and character are good, ara
the story has considerable dramatic move

Holland is so little in the strifeS OF Eu-

little to do with the rest of the world that
we think of both in the past tense when
Holland was one of the powers which
shaped the destinies of Europe, planted its
colonies in far distant lands and grew rich
from the worlds commerce. This is be-
cause Holland does not trouble itself about
the balance Of power, and it's people are

this constant fight against the water has
had it's influence upon the people-which

The Marion Chronicle makes a weak de-
fensc of is wholesale attack on the build
ing and loan associations of this city. of
which there are 129 now doing business. In
its original attack the Chronicle said
Indianapolis has nurtured more thieving
institutions of this kind than all the balance
or the State. and poor people-the borrow
ing classes-have been swindled by them
out of hundreds Of thousands of dollars.
We never heard of an honest IDdi-
arapol!s building and loan association.
The Chronicle evidently did not know how
many honest and well-managed associations
there were here, but the fact that it had
building and loan association did not JUS
tify its wholesale attack. Now it attempts
to justify the attack by citing four cases of
loans alleged to have been made to persons
in that city by four different indianapolis
companies. According to the Chronicle one
of these loans was made about seven years
ago." another "a few years ago." a third
Several years ago. and the fourth seven
years ago." So it has searched through a
pretty long period for examples The Jour-
nal has no means of verifying its statements
regarding the alleged transactions as to
amount Of loans, interest paid, etc. They
are ex parte statements, but, admitting
them all to be true, they affect only four
companies, which would still leave about

dishonesty lies. The Journal has not a
word to say in defense of "snide" compa-
MES, if any such exist here. or of irregular
transactions or exorbitant charges in any
case. What it objects to is an indiscrimi-
nate charge affecting all the building and
loan associations in the city and the credit
and business methods of its people. One
might as well say that because one business
man of Marion is insolvent or dishonest all
are bankrupts or rascals-a charge that
everybody would recognize at once as out

the action of the Harrison administration
in taking a United States marshal out OF

not pleased with the war amendments to the
Constitution The Congress which suomirte 20

amendment, comforting suffrage upon the

THERE is much speculation from the
fact that President Mckinley, Speaker
Reed. National Chairman Hanna, Vice
President Hobart and other prominent
republicans have all gone to Georgia
to recuperate after the adjournment of

rest after their arduous duties, durin
the late term of congress, and it is like
ly that they are simply taking this
needed rest. However, if while they
are resting they should get together
and decide upon plan for next years
campaign, we will Tot kick. They are
intelligent gentlemen; they have the
interest of the country at heart and
there is one thing that the people have
already mapped out that there is no
danger of their interfering with-that
is the reelection of William Mckinley
as president of the United States. They
may decide to put "Teddy" on the tick

THE expressions Of the Dryer boys
at last nights convention should be
taken in earnest. They have stated
heretofore, that they would not accept
q position under a republican admins
tration; that they were democrats and
that they would not desert their party
and accept an Office in payment for
such desertion. At last nights meet
ing they reiterated the statement that
they were not 'out for spoils, 'but that
they were not satisfied with the
management of the democratic party
of this city and that they
felt that they had right to
get out and help elect the opposition
ticket. They stated again that they
would not accept position under Mr..
O'Keeffe and that no position had been
promised them or offered them. That
they had no use for the present admin
istration, especially the police force.
