Shortly after the recent disgraceful attack
on President Loubet the chief of police in
Paris issued an order closing several clubs.
which has been popular with Americans.
Mr.. James Gordon Bennett, proprietor of
the New York Herald. called on the chief
of police to explain that there was no poll
tics in the club and to ask that the order
closing it be rescinded. but the chief de-
clined to do so. A correspondent who in
terviewed a French statesman as to the
reason for such arbitrary action reports
him as saying:
Americans tell me that the closing of

there would be popular resentment against

treason, lese majesty or anything of that
kind. but for assault and battery, or what
ever the grade of the offense might be. The
fact that the offender was a member Of a

THE TEST OF HOSPITALITY.

Those excited persons who are questioning
the hospitality of Indianapolis because they
cannot have what they want are doing its
people a great injustice. AS a matter of
fact, considering that indianapolis is not a
rich city, it is one of the most hospitable
in the land. Three times has the National
.Bncampment of the Grand Army of the Re-
public been held in Indianapolis. and each
time the thousands who were present went
away delighted with the reception given
them. The last time it came here the de-
cision to come was made in Washington,
and one of the reasons which caused the
invitation of indianapolis to be accepted
was the expressed recollection of the cordial
reception and sustained hospitality of a
previous encampment. No city has ever
made better arrangements for the housing
and feeding and the general comfort of its
visitors than did Indianapolis for the Grand
Army in 1893. The hospitality of the people
on that occasion, their desire to make
everything pleasant for visitors. was the
subject of general remark. Less than a year
ago the Uniformed Knights of Pythias
were here a week. If there was anything
but praise Of the hospitality of the people
of indianapolis. the Journal has not heard
Of 1t. In fact, several entertainments were
planned which those visitors had no time to
enjoy.
1t will be the same with the Epworth
League convention. The people of Indianap-
oils know what hospitality is, and with
them the duties it may involve are a plea
sure. They will not regard the objection Of
the location of a large tent on the State
house grounds at the sacrifice of a score of
shade trees as evidence of a lack of hos
pitality any more than they would regard
the host as lacking therein who would not
make a bonfire on his lawn or cut down his
shade trees to please some eccentric person.
The Grand Army did not demand the State
house yard for tents or barracks. nor did the
Knights Of Pythias ask it for a parade
ground. There were other places more suit
able.

The peace conference at The Hague de-
voted the most of last week TO considera-
ton Of the right Of populations TO defend
their country against an invading army,
in other words, the right Of civilians to
defend their homes and property and still
claim the protection of the laws of war.
Editor Stead. in summing up the discus
sion, says:
1t is interesting TO Americans to know
that IN the historical retrospect with. which
Professor Martens opened his case for the
Russian scheme he attributed the original
initiative of the whole movement to Abra-
ham Lincoln, whose code for the guidance
of federal troops during the. war served
as the first example of the effort of human
ity to reduce the laws of war within rea-
sonable limits.
1t is remarkable hat a peace conference
of European diplomatists, held nearly thir-
ty-ive years after the death of Abraham
Lincoln, should derive its inspiration re-
garding the more humane conduct Of war
from the orders and papers of that great

GERMANY AND HER NEW PACIFIC
ISLANDS.

Public eminent in Germany regarding
from Spain seems to have undergone a de-
cided change. At first there was almost
enthusiastic approval. as If Germany had,
with great adroitness, accomplished a mas
ter stroke of statecraft. No people better
like to get ahead of somebody than the
thrifty Germans. and in this case the idea
that 1t had been done slyly and cleverly
gave additional zest to the transaction. The
first feeling was something almost akin to
national chuckling- But there is a decided
reaction ard apparently a growing belief
that Germany has made a poor bargain.
II is discovered that the islands are far
removed from Germany's sphere of in
f~iuence' and their possession cannot have
any appreciable effect in establishing he.
commercial supremacy in the Pacific as long
as the United States owns the far more i'm

Germany could probably have obtained
them from Spain without purchasing the
islands. while. according to the agreement.
Spain still retains a coaling station in each
group and is put on the same favored ma

Under these conditions Spain will probably
continue to control most of the trade OF the
islands. especially as the people speak Span

trade in the islands for several years has

$50. a year. and 1t is not perceived

Something About Liquor License,

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
/ notice In the Journal OF to-day that In
answering an inquiry Of Constant Reader"
you say: IF a license to retail liquor Il re-
fused by the county commissioners the In
tending vender can sell by the quart only
after he has procured a government L.
cense." This is altogether incorrect. Since
the passage of the anti-quartshcp law, In
1897, which has been held effective by both
the Supreme and Appellate Courts, IL the
county commissioners refuse a license. then
the intending vendor cannot sell In that
township except in quantities greater than
five gallons at a time. To do his he must
be a wholesaler. and not a retailer. To put
1t more plainly: If the citizens OF a town
ship or city ward demonstrate successfully
against ali applications for liquor licenses.
then liquor cannot be sold In said township
or WARD In less quantities than five gallons
at a time. except ION the written prescrfp-
ton Of a reputable practicising physician
Furthermore. that which IL called a gov
eminent license il not a license at all. but
a tax receipt. showing merely that a dealer
has paid the government tax. and does not
carry with IL any protection whatever. The
federal government does not license the
liquor traffic. Ii recognizes the right OF
each State 10 deal with IL In any way IL
may desire. and only undertakes TO tax each
dealer. whom the States allow legally or
otherwise to engage in the business.
