THE CITY CONVENTION.

1t would be idle to declare that the result
of Saturdays convention gives general sat-
isfaction to the Republicans of Indianapo-
lis; in fact, few conventions can satisfy all
the members of a party. The ticke nomi-
mated was the choice of the delegates seated
In the convention, and as such the Journal
will give 1t the same support 1t has always
given to the candidates of the party whose
principles it has advocated for years. The
platform of the convention is strong be-
cause IT Is a just arraignment of Mayor
Taggart's policy. The Journal during the
past two years has expressed all that the
platform contains in arraignment of the
mayor. Taxes were increased is 2-3 per
cent. a year ago. and, based upon the new
valuation of 1899, they will be increased 20
per cent. There is quite a number of USE
less officials and many thousand dollars
have been expended upon employees to Sc
cure their votes. If the Republican candi-
dates and those In charge of the campaign
can specify wherein they can and will cur
tail expenditures, get rid Of sinecures and
satisfy the voters that they will effect the
reforms specified, the ticket will receive the
party vote. Mere vituperation will not
help. Statements which cannot be verified
by facts will not convince the intelligent
people of indianapolis. in whose hands the
determination of the result lies.

port that which was nominated on Satur-
day. The people who read the Journal
know the difference between argument and
unsustained declaration.
In this connection the Journal will add
that the thing which can help the ticket
more than any one thing which can be done
now Is to make certain the nomination OF
representative men, who enjoy the public
confidence, for councilmen. The Democrats
have made their nominations in part, and
they are about as bad as they can be.

In Wisconsin several years ago the Legis-

propriated money to construct a reforma-
tory prison near Green Bay. AS yet the
building is but partly completed. but as it

many offenders as the courts n state
board Of control can send to 1t. That is,
there is a shortage in criminals In Wiscon-
sin compared with the estimates made by
those who may be regarded as experts. The
result is that the cost of maintaining such
an institution is so large that 1t may be
abandoned. 1t would be interesting to know
what led the Wisconsin boards into this
grave error regarding the needs Of the
State for a refcrmatory. If 1t is demon.
strated that the class of offenders sent tc
reformatories Is not increasing in a State
like Wisconsin, the fact should be brought
to the notice of those Who insist that crime
is rapidly increasing.

A Texas Ranger.

This is a narrative OF Texas ranch and
cowboy life by n. A Jennings. The author
writes from personal experience. The son OF
a rich father In the East and full OF the
spirit OF adventure he went TO Texas in
1874 to make his fortune as a ranchman.
His father thought II best 10 throw him on
his own resources and the result was that
he mad a hard, rough, adventurous life. His
experiences as a cowboy, as a quartermas-
ter's clerk in the army, as a ranger fight
ing the Mexicans and for the establishment
of law and order, as a border policeman.
etc., are related In a manner that leaves
no doubt or their genuineness. In the OPEN
ing chapter he describes his first horseback
or mustang ride in Texas, a ride of thirty
five miles in one day that nearly killed
him. But he adds: Before ] left Texas I

RESPONSIBILITY FOR INCREASING
HOSTILITIES.

Because a report has appeared that in an
other portion Of the Philippines some aos-
tility to our rule has manifested itself the
newspapers in this country which are in Sc
cret sympathy with Aguinaldo make haste
to make the most of 1t. In spite of all their
efforts some of them cannot conceal the sat-
i~sfaction the report gives them. Their pur-
pose Is to create a sentiment in this country
that will demand the pulling down of our
flag In the Philippines and surrendering to
q man who first attacked our lines. They
imagine that If the Instruction should ex-
tend beyond the tribe which recognizes
Aguinaldo timidity on the part Of the Amer
lean people would lead us to retire from the
contest.
There are many causes which tend to ex-
tend the hostility to US In the Philippines.
Aguinaldo is able to send agents among
these people with assurances that the Amer
leans are as good as beaten. He can tell
them that there is so strong opposition to
the continuing Of the war against him that
as soon as the people vote, a few months
hence, the policy of the United States will
be changed and he will be recognized. He
has In his possession the utterances Of At
kinson, Prof. Eliot Norton and the Spring
field Republican to sustain his statements.
The natives, speaking different languages
and having no direct communication with
any one representing the United States,
will readily believe these agents of Aguinal-
do. and, believing them, naturally seek the
good graces of the man who has caused
them to believe that he will be recognized
as the ruler Of the Philippines. In other
words, the men who are clamoring for the
Philippines as If defeated are responsible
Indirectly for the spread of hostilities In the
islands. They are rendering Aguinaldo a
better service han the soldiers who, out
numbering their assailants three to one,
cannot be forced to make a stand. Aguinal-
do would rave made terms long ago but
In the United States, who demand peace
at any price. 1t is because they have en-
couraged Aguinaldo that 1t Is necessary to
send twenty new regiments to the Philip
pines. Months ago Mr.. Carnegie. In his rage,
was reported to have expressed the wish
| that American soldiers sent to Manila
should be killed" To-day these people who
are crying ''stop the fighting would be
pleased to hear of the defeat of our army
by Aguinaldo.

Dreyfus's Letters.

This volume contains the letters written
by Capt. Albert Dreyfus to his wife from
his prison on Devils island, from Decem-
Der, 1894, to March, 1898. The letters are, OF
course, very personal, but they contain the
only defense which Dreyfus has made, and
no one can read them without being strong
ly persuaded of his innocence. 1t is doubt
less for this reason that his wife permitted
their publication, because they nave the IN
mistakable ring of sincerity and show the
clear conscience and unsullied honor of an
innocent man. 1t is probable the publica-
ton of the letters has practically assured
Captain Dreyfus's ultimate release. Not

spair. does the writer WAIVER in his declara-
ton Of his innocence of the crime of which
he was wrongly convicted. He pleads with

FOR THE PROTECTION OF LABOR.

Now that the attention Of the factory in
spector has been called TO the increasing
violations Of the laws for the protection
OF labor 1t is to be hoped he will use due
diligence in putting a stop to them. These
laws are ample If they are enforced. and the
State provides the means for their enforce
ment- The law passed by the last Legisla-
ture entitled IAN act concerning labor, and
providing means for protecting the liberty,
safety and health Of laborers, providing for
its enforcement by creating a department
OF inspection. and making an appropriation
therefor Is one OF the best labor laws
passed in any State; and. In connection with
previous legislation. furnishes a very COM

1T shall be the duty OF the factory in

made for the benefit Of labor and to prose-
cute all violations thereof" This Is the
official duty Of the inspector. but many vio-

are charged with controlling the supply,
facts about the matter know that where the
price of prime beef on the hoof ranged
from $3.50 to S.55 a hundred a year ago
it now range from $500 to ss.45. Demand
has increased and the supply is somewhat

The nine volumes containing a compila-
ton of the messages and papers of the
Presidents of the United States. mention OF
which has been made by the Journal from
time to time, are now followed by a tenth
volume containing an appendix and index.
This work was undertaken by order of Con-
gress and the compiling and editing have
been done by James ID. Richardson, a
member OF Congress from Tennessee. Ii was
an important task n has evidently been
done with great care and conscientiousness.
The state p pers of the Presidents were
not accessible to the public, save as they
were printed In an unofficial and scatter
ing way, and merely for historical purposes
it was desira ole that they should be coll
lected and published. Together these ten
volumes constitute a great and important
part Of the country's history. while among
the paper are many documents that had
an influence far wider than Americas
limits. They will have a place in every
library Of Importance in the land. The ap-
pendix In this tenth volume Is made up
of some minor documen omitted by acct
dent or with purpose from preceding vol
umes. Mr.. Richardson is to be congrstu-
lated on the admirable result Of his labors.
The work is published at the government
printing Office.

We strongly suspect that that class Of
American citizens and foreigners engaged

watered stock and such like, Is having
more to do with our gaining and retaining
possession of the Philippines than the body
of Americans. The influential politicians"
are prepared to swoop down like vultures
upon the authorities at Washington and
demand large grants and franchises for
the furtherance of gigantic enterprises in
these islands. Judging from past history,
they will get what they ask, then why not
insist upon owning the Philippines. land and
peoples?
The man who has the most interest in any
one combination is Mr.. Andrew Carnegie.
So far as franchises and grants In the ter

Secretary Of War, Mr.. Root. has officially
given notice that neither the President nor
any one in authority under him has any
authority to issue a franshise of any sort
In these Islands for the reason that the issue
of all grants is a p~rerogative of Congress.
Newspapers in New York are complaining
because the authorities will not sanction the

facts have been published in all the daily

for such stupidity as the foregoing para
