the proper construction and administration
of the law. Probably some good has been
done in that direction, but unfortunately
these organizations have not confined their
efforts to this line. They have attempted
to defeat legislation intended to benefit the
people and to prevent the success of popu-
lar movements for reform. Honey Creek
Farmer" says these organizations of county
and township officers constitute a lobby
known, the strength and disposition of
which is extremely dangerous to the best
interests of the taxpayers Of our State"
If this states the case pretty strongly, there
is at least foundation for it. The organiza-
tion of county officers opposed and defeated
every attempt to pass fee and salary law
until 1895. and they and the Township Trus-
tees Association are both opposing the
pending measures for reform in local gov
ernment. The legislative reports of Indiana
are full of the tracks of county officers.
If there is legitimate work for such asso-
Citations to do it certainly does not include
lobbying against measures demanded by ev-
cry principle of good government, desired by
the people and promised by the state con-
ventions Of both parties. The people have a
right to complain when county and town
ship officers oppose measures Of retrench-
ment and reform, and no matter by what
motives the Official opponents of such meas
ures may pretend to be actuated, the peo-'
pie will believe they are actuated by motives
of self-intereSt. Such opposition furnishes a
strong argument in favor of reform. There
are great many more farmers in the State
than there are county and township officers
and if the farmers would organize in favor
Of reform legislation the anti-farmers and
anti-reformers would soon be routed.

Schley to their present grades were based.
The two reports are a complete justihca-
ton of the action OF the department and
the President in advancing Sampson above
Schley. and while they do not detract from
Schley's credit in the engagement with
Cervera's fleet they show that in view of
his previous disobedience Of orders in a
critical emergency the Presidents recogni-
tion of his later service was very generous.
AS the secretary puts It:
His, conduct while in Independent COM
mas been given above, and which by reason

OBEY orders did not meet with the approval
or the president, or the department. was
yet NOT permitted to stand in the way of his
nomination for promotion to a higher grade
Tor the part he took in that final triumph
AS further evidence that the friends Of
Schley have no reason to complain it is
shown that Sampson himself, while not
overlooking Schley's previous disobedience
Of orders, requested that ample justice be
done him for his part in the action of July
g. and SIMPSONS letter to that effect is en-
bodied in the report. The overzealous
friends Of Schley have not made much by
their persistent agitation Of the matter.

THE NEW sTREET-RAILRoAD DEAL.

If the new street railroad company
wished to begin with a clean record and do
the best thing possible by the city and the
public, it has taken judicious first step in
getting the control and buying the rights of
both of the existing companies. Sometimes
the best way to end a controversy is to buy
it. AS long as the two old companies exist
ed it might have taken years of litigation
to settle the controversy between them and
define the rights of both. The plan adopted
by the new company cuts knot that would
have been very difficult to unite and places
the street railroad interests Of the city on
basis that furnishes an advantageous start
ing point for future operations. To accom-
plish this it was necessary for the new COM
pany to get control of both of the old ones
The City Company owed its existence and
charter to the fact that the Citizens Com
pany would not deal fairly with the city or
the public. Although the City Company
never laid rail, it did the public a good
service in compelling the Citizens Company
to make some concessions and recognize
that the city and the public had some
rights it was bound to respect. This being
the case, the public would not have been
satisfied with any deal that aimed at giving
the Citizens Company new standing while
ignoring the City Company. The purchase
of the franchises and rights Of both COM
panies, to be united and merged in a new
one to be operated under a new name and
new contract with the city, avoids this diff
ficulty If this arrangement is a good one
fOr f4N
the city, as it will bring up Immediately
the question of new franchise and all the
details of a new contract with the COM
pany. That the city should get substan-
tial return for q new franchise goes with
out saying. An exclusive franchise for
thirty years or more for the use of all the
streets for street-railroad purposes is worth
a great deal, and the city should have for
it substantial equivalent, besides guaran-
tees relative to paving, service, etc. These
details will not be difficult to arrange if
both parties approach the matter in spirit
of fairness and liberality. The city should
be glad to have vexatious controversy
disposed of, and the new company should
be willing to pay fair price for a valuable
reasonably, but as yet they have not indi-
Gated definitely what kind of a contract
they are willing to make. The first thing
necessary to clear the way for further ac-
ton is definite understanding between the
city and the new company as to what kind
of a contract they are willing to make with
the city. They cannot reasonably ask for
the repeal of the legislation of two years
ago. leaving the city holding the bag, as it
were, and the new company master of the
situation, without previously and distinctly
indicating in advance what kind and how
much of an equivalent they are willing to
pay for the new franchise which they will
ask. When the representatives of the new
company shall have done this to the salts
faction of the city authorities and the people
themselves the Journal sees no reason why
the Legislature should not promptly pass
the act authorizing a new contract

practical themes it Is something of a sur
prise He does not deal with ghosts, that
is. no beings of the spirit world make their
appearance, but he describes them as
'.ethereans," namely. departed friends and
relatives OF the living persOnages of the
tale who still retain an interest in earthly
affairs and an affection for those left be-
hind He depicts them as trying through
occult means to influence the conduct of the
living, not always for the best, but as their
inclinations, not yet unselhsh. dictate. In

TOO MUCH POWER.

One of the opponents Of the township gov
ernment bill has made the point that the
township has very little to do in cities, deal
ing chiefly with the agricultural portions Of
the State. To some extent this is true, but
if it were all true, it is not much of an ar
gument TO say that the farmers are willing
to have "a local government in which they
have no voice and under which a dishonest
official, who cannot be got rid of for four
years, can play the autocrat. The point is
that no one official should have the power
to raise money to build schoolhouses with
cut the approval of the people or of some
advisory board which cannot make any
money out of the construction.
The objection to the township bill that
township government is an affair of the
township outside of cities and towns, while
it is not valid. does not apply to the meas
IRE for the better government Of counties
Taxpayers in cities have rs much interest
in better system that will prevent loose
and extravagant practices as have those
in the townships who have no other gov
crnment. There are laws which are in
sioners in many respects, but scarcely
week passes that local papers do not give
cases where these officers ignore the laws.
In Shelby county the commissioners con-
tracted for thousands of dollars worth OF
bridges without advertising for the lowest
bidders. In Tippecanoe an action has been
begun to prevent the making of a contract
for printing and supplies at a much higher
rate than others will contract to do the
work. How many counties are carrying
burden for an expensive courthouse because
commissioners can build such houses when
every voter in the county is opposed? Is it
not a notorious fact that most courthouses
have cost much more than private corpora
tions would pay for equally good buildings?
While most commissioners follow the pro-
visions of the laws relative to making finan-
cial statements, many do not.
Those who advocate the bill to improve
county government believe that the county
commissioners have more power than
should be conferred upon any men-powers
which conflict with our theory Of govern
ment. They believe that no men should be
given the power to make levies and expend
the money obtained from them. They believe
that the best three men in any county
should not have the power to construct pub
lie buildings without the consent of the
voters or of legislative board representing
the people. In short, they desire a govern
ment in counties in which the people can
have a voice. They are opposed to ire
sponsible dictatorship by three men in
county affairs.

The Omen oueatsnn.

This story. by "E. c. Raimond," other
wise Elizabeth Robins, an American actress
has been widely advertised as one of the
great novels of the year. Those readers who
like problem" novels of the pathological
variety may agree with the advance notices,
but the others who demand that even
problems shall be well handled, will lay it
down with disappointment. The story.
which deals with the question of whether
or not consumptives shall marry, is over
hve hundred pages in length, and over three
hundred or them are given up to the narra-
tion of complicated family history the
most Of which has little bearing on the
general theme and is extremely tedious The
conclusion arrived at by the young colple
concerned, who are first cousins and in
heriG consumption, is that they ought not
to marry, but they finally decide to do so
and, to evade the responsibility of bringing
offspring into the world, resolve to commit
suicide whenever such prospect threatens

is strongly drawn; the others lack the vivid
ness OF life and are mere pegs to hang the
narrative on. Something like dozen deaths

and inartistic handling, make it heavy read
